Chapter 681: The annexation of Lu Kingdom
On August 12, 2012, the Emperor Jiang Sheng, who founded the prosperous era of Lu, died of illness in the imperial palace of Mengyuan City.
The day after Jiang Sheng passed away, Prince Jiang Jing ascended the throne in Mengyuan City and became emperor. However, in the following days, King Jiang Ji of Qin became emperor in Anlu City, Suizhou, Lu State, Lu State, Jiang Kui of Qi became emperor in Xiuyang City, Prefecture of Zizhou, Lu State, and Yan Jiang Cheng became emperor in Xinliang City, Prefecture of Rongzhou, Lu State.
Four emperors suddenly appeared in Lu State, which immediately made the entire Lu State clouds dense. Jiang Jing, Jiang Ji, Jiang Kui and Jiang Cheng actively prepared for the war while winning over the army that was originally neutral.
On the morning of September 18, in a palace in the imperial palace of Mengyuan City, Lu State, Jiang Jing, who had ascended the throne and became emperor, asked Liu Mian, the Grand Marshal of the Ministry of War in a deep voice: "Taiwei Liu, how many of the originally neutral legions are willing to be loyal to me now?"
Liu Mian, the Grand Marshal of the Ministry of War, immediately said: "Report to Your Majesty, the nine main legions and twelve ordinary legions that were originally neutral have five main legions and seven ordinary legions, and they have clearly expressed their willingness to be loyal to Your Majesty."
"Then the remaining four main legions and five ordinary legions are all loyal to the three rebellious ones?"
At this time, the commander of the Black Butterfly in the palace, Zhang Xiang immediately said: "Your Majesty, according to the information we Black Butterfly has obtained, the other four main legions and five ordinary legions have not yet made a clear position and are still waiting and watching."
Jiang Jing's face immediately showed a little relaxed expression, and then said to Liu Mian, the Grand Marshal of the Ministry of War, "Taiwan Liu, I am going to send troops to attack those three rebels. What do you think?"
Liu Mian, the Grand Marshal of the Ministry of War, hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, King Qin... those three rebels, together, control ten main legions and sixteen ordinary legions. Once they really fight, they will definitely be a battle of both losses."
It turned out that Jiang Jing, as the prince, had already controlled the military power of five main legions and eight ordinary legions. After ascending the throne, he turned to his five main legions and seven ordinary legions. Jiang Jing's strength alone was enough to fight against his three younger brothers.
Jiang Jing smiled bitterly and said, "We four brothers must have a fight. It is better to fight early than to fight late. The longer the time delays, the stronger the strength of my three younger brothers will be."
Soon, the army that was loyal to Jiang Jing began to attack the army of Jiang Cheng, the former king of Yan. Jiang Jing was about to destroy Jiang Cheng, who was relatively weak, and then attack Jiang Ji and Jiang Kui.
However, Jiang Ji and Jiang Kui both understood the truth that their lips were dead and their teeth were cold, and sent troops to aid Jiang Cheng's army, and the entire State of Lu suddenly became a pot of porridge.
Faced with the pressure of joining forces from the other three companies, Jiang Jing finally opposed the opposition and adopted the suggestion of the commander of Black Butterfly, Zhang Xiang, invited the Han army to send troops to quell the rebellion, and took out the territory of the three states as reward for the Han army.
In a secret room at the headquarters of the Heidiary in Mengyuan City, the capital of Lu, the commander of the Black Butterfly, Zhang Xiang, respectfully said to a middle-aged man: "Mr. Tang, Jiang Jing has agreed to invite the Han army to enter the territory of Lu and quell the rebellion of the Three Kings."
"Okay! Very good! Don't worry, Lord Zhang, your contribution will not be forgotten by the great man." Tang Yan said with a smile.
Tang Yan was the confidant adviser of Zhang Mingqi, the former commander of the Southeast Xiang Army, and was also the founder of the Red Fox Organization of the Southeast Xiang Army. After the Red Fox was incorporated into the Hei Shui Platform, Tang Yan became one of the deputy commanders of the Hei Shui Platform.
The commander of the Black Butterfly, Zhang Xiang sighed and said, "Now the Han Dynasty's momentum to unify the world has been achieved. I just hope that the State of Lu can kill fewer people during the incorporation into the Han Dynasty."
After Emperor Jiang Sheng of Lu was seriously ill, Zhang Xiang took the initiative to establish contact with Heishuitai and expressed his willingness to serve the Han Dynasty.
Liu Ji was actually hesitant when he learned that Zhang Xiang, the commander of the Black Butterfly in Lu State, was willing to surrender to the Han Dynasty. After all, several women of Zhang Xiang were all in Liu Ji's harem at this time. However, after several top civil officials analyzed Zhang Xiang, Liu Ji decided to accept Zhang Xiang's surrender.
Tang Yan said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, you have made the wisest choice."
In mid-October of the 12th year of the Han Dynasty, at the invitation of Jiang Jing, the new king of Lu, the Han Dynasty sent the Beiting Army, the White Tiger Army, the Qilin Army, the Gaochang Army and the Longwei Army, as well as the Tiger Ben Army, the Xuanjia Army, the Tiger Leopard Cavalry, the White Horse Congyi, the Qixue Army and the Beiwei Army to enter the territory of Lu and attacked the other three princes who claimed to be emperors.
The war between the four princes of Lu State for the throne lasted for almost two years. Several originally neutral legions also joined the civil war in Lu State. In the end, the other three princes who claimed to be emperor were all defeated and killed. The Lu State's army also suffered extremely heavy losses in the past two years of war.
Since the other three princes who proclaimed emperors were all eliminated, the Han army should also evacuate Lu. However, at this time, the Han emperor Liu Ji suddenly proposed to let Lu ced the territory of seventeen states. In addition to the three states promised by Lu Emperor Jiang Jing, Lu must ced 20 states at one time to make up for the losses of the Han army in Lu.
In the past two years, the Han army successively invested more than 15 million troops into Lu, with nearly 1.5 million casualties. When the other three princes who claimed to be emperor were eliminated, the Han army had actually controlled half of the Lu country.
Faced with the blackmail such as the Han Dynasty, Emperor Jiang Jing of Lu was certainly unwilling to accept it, so the war that had just been quelled rekindled in Lu.
The reason why the war between the four princes of Lu State lasted for almost two years was largely because the Han was making trouble because of the fact that the Han Dynasty tried to consume the strength of the Lu State, and the Han Dynasty's conspiracy finally succeeded.
When the war broke out again between the Han army and Lu State, there were only less than 10 million troops left in the entire Lu State, and a large part of them were recruits. Therefore, from the beginning of this war, the Han army had an absolute advantage.
When Emperor Jiang Jing of Lu suddenly died suddenly in the palace of Mengyuan City, the Lu army was even more defeated, and a large number of Lu army chose to surrender to the Han army.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the important officials of Lu State, led by Liu Mian, the Grand Marshal of the Ministry of War of Lu, ordered the Lu army in various places to stop resisting.
On November 20, 2014, the Han Dynasty's Beiwei Army entered the city of Fengyuan. The Lu State, which was once the largest country in the East and had forty-nine states, left the historical stage. The forty-nine states of Lu State were soon classified as the sixteen roads of the Han Dynasty.
The population of Lu State was about 500 million. After annexing the Lu State, Liu Ji completed another hidden task of expanding territory. The system immediately rewarded Liu Ji with 500 groups of Qixue Army and 500 groups of Beiwei Army, as well as five peerless military generals and five top civil officials.
Xiang Yu, whose military power is 112 points, his intelligence is 82, and his commander value is 87. The grandson of Xiang Yan, a famous general of Chu, followed his uncle Xiang Liang to rebel against Qin in Wuzhong. After Xiang Liang was killed, he led his army to cross the river to rescue King Xie of Zhao, and defeated Zhang Han in the Battle of Julu, and the main force of the Qin army led by Wang Li.
After the fall of Qin, he was called the King of Western Chu, and established his capital in Pengcheng. He implemented a feudal system and imposed the heroes of Qin and nobles of the six countries as kings. Later Han King Liu Bang sent troops from Hanzhong to attack Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu launched a four-year war between Chu and Han. Although he repeatedly defeated Liu Bang during this period, Xiang Yu was unable to have a fixed supply in the rear, and the food and grass were exhausted. He also suspected that his father Fan Zeng was defeated by Liu Bang. In 202 BC, Xiang Yu was defeated at Gaixia and broke through to the Wujiang River and committed suicide.

He eliminated Southern Yan, Later Qin and other countries, subdued Qiuchi, and used the Quyue formation to defeat the Northern Wei, recovered Huaibei, Shandong, Henan, Guanzhong and other places, and restored Luoyang and Chang'an. After ascending the throne, he sent troops to the south to conquer Linyi and make the entire territory surrender.
In the first year of Yongchu, Liu Yu established himself on behalf of Jin, established the capital of Jiankang, and the country was called "Song". It was known in history as the Liu Song or the Southern Song Dynasty.

But soon after, Zhao Yun left because of his brother's death. About seven years after Zhao Yun left Gongsun Zan, he met Liu Bei in Yecheng and followed Liu Bei from then on.

In addition, Zhao Yun led the story of Huo Qubing when he pacified Yizhou and persuaded Liu Bei to return the land and houses to the people.

Later, he surrendered to Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu and made great military achievements for Liu Xiu to unify the world.
After the unification of the world, although Ma Yuan was old, he still volunteered to fight east and west, defeated the Qiang people in the west, and fought south, and became General Fubo. He was named Xinxi Marquis and was respected as Ma Fubo. His old age was stronger, and his spirit of wearing a horse's corpse was greatly respected by later generations.
Later, he fell seriously ill when he attacked Wuxi Man. Ma Yuan unfortunately died. Because Liang Song falsely accused him, Liu Xiu took back the seal and ribbon of Xinxi Hou by Liu Xiu. It was not until Emperor Zhang of Han that he sent an envoy to posthumously posthumously named Zhongcheng.
