Chapter 120 Chapter 119 Wuxuan King Juqu Mengxun

In the second year of Longfei (397 A.D.), Juqu Mengxun and his cousin Nancheng rebelled against Empress Liang Luguang and occupied Liangzhou.But Mengxun and Nancheng felt that their feathers were not yet full, and it was inconvenient for them to be kings and emperors for the time being, so they promoted Duan Ye, the prefect of Jiankang in Houliang, as the shepherd of Liangzhou.Two years later, Duan Ye was renamed the King of Liang, Meng Xun was named Shangshu Zuocheng, Zhangye Taishou, and Nancheng was named Fuguo General. Juqu Mengxun was unwilling to proclaim himself emperor immediately, and was afraid of being jealous by Duan Ye, so he asked to be the prefect of Xi'an in the third year of Shenxi (401 AD).Duan Ye felt that it was a good thing to get Juqu Mengxun away from his side, so he readily agreed to his request.

Juqu Mengxun left Zhangye like a tiger descending a mountain.He racked his brains to come up with an extremely insidious plan to seize power.He first made an appointment with his cousin Nancheng to sacrifice to Lanmen Mountain together, and then sent Sima Xu Xian to inform Duan Ye that Nancheng was going to use the opportunity of offering sacrifices to the mountain to launch a rebellion.Unaware of Monxun's tricks, Nan Cheng arrives at Lanmen Mountain according to the appointment, and is naturally captured and killed by the soldiers who have ambushed in advance by Duan Ye. Once Nan Cheng died, Juqu Mengxun had an excuse to openly challenge Duan Ye.Mengxun called his subordinates to him, pretended to be very sad, and said to them in tears: "Nancheng is infinitely loyal to Duan Ye, but Duan Ye killed him innocently. Can you not avenge him? And Liangzhou The war was in chaos, and Duan Ye was unable to clean up the mess. I recommended him at the beginning, thinking he was someone like Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, but he believed in slander and jealousy, and harmed loyal people in vain. How could I stand by and let the people suffer!" Nan Cheng was usually very nervous He was popular, and all the generals were willing to avenge him, so Juqu Mengxun quickly pulled up a team of more than 10,000 people, attacked Zhangye City, beheaded Duan Ye, and called himself Liangzhou Mu.

At the beginning, Juqu Mengxun felt that the national power was not strong enough, so he paid more attention to establishing harmonious relations with neighboring countries to avoid disputes.When he came to the throne, Meng Xun sent his son Xi Nian to Nanliang as a hostage.The bald-haired Li Lugu, the monarch of Nanliang, deliberately made things difficult. He used Xi Nian's age as an excuse to demand Mengxun's younger brother Juquxu by name.Although Monson was forced to agree, he was still brooding.Nine years later, Juqu Mengxun felt that Beiliang was full of wings, so he personally led 30,000 soldiers to attack Nanliang. King Jing's bald haired Tan was forced to move his capital to Ledu, and Mengxun captured Guzang (now the capital of Nanliang) Wuwei, Gansu).In the twelfth year of Yong'an (AD 412), Meng Xun moved his capital to Guzang, changed his name to Hexi King, and changed his name to Yuan Xuanshi.The bald-haired Xengtan who fled to Ledu (now Qinghai) was defeated by Juqu Mengxun several times in succession. He was so angry that he conquered Beiliang again in the second year of Xuanshi (413 AD).Unexpectedly, Ruohouwu and Ruoliang were defeated by Beiliang successively, and Ledu was also besieged.Seeing Beiliang's ferocious approach, the bald-haired Xie Tan felt that he was not an opponent, so he took the initiative to ask Meng Xun for peace, and took the veteran Taiwei Juyan as a hostage, so Meng Xun agreed to withdraw his troops.

While sending troops to conquer Nanliang, Juqu Mengxun also sent troops to Xiliang.In the tenth year of Yong'an (410 A.D.), Mengxun defeated Li Xin, the prince of Xiliang, in Mamiao; in September of the seventh year of Xuanshi (418 A.D.), he sent troops to rob Xiliang's crops.Two years later, Meng Xun wanted to destroy Xiliang, and led troops to claim to attack Qin's Haotai. When he arrived at Haotai, he secretly pulled the troops to Chuanyan.Li Xin, the lord of Xiliang, didn't know Mengxun's strategy, and led 30,000 soldiers out of Jiuquan. When he arrived at Dujian, he was suddenly attacked by Mengxun, and the entire Xiliang army was wiped out.In March of the following year, Monson captured Dunhuang in Xiliang and occupied the entire Liangzhou area.

Successive victories made Juqu Mengxun arrogant and arrogant. Just as he wanted to further expand his conquest, he suddenly died of illness in April of the third year of Yihe (433 AD) at the age of 66.His posthumous title is "King Wuxuan", and his temple title is "Taizu".
