Chapter 115 Chapter One Hundred and Fourteen

Lu Long, styled Yongji.Born in Lueyang (now southwest of Zhuanglang County, Gansu Province), nephew of Lu Guang, the king of Houliang.In February of the third year of Xianning (401 A.D.), Lu Long took the opportunity of gathering with Lu Zuan, the monarch of Houliang, to get Lu Zuan drunk, and his younger brother Lu Chao stabbed Lu Zuan to death with a sword.After Lu Zuan's death, Lu Long took the throne of heaven and changed to Yuanshen Ding. In order to establish his prestige, Lu Long killed many famous people, which made everyone in Houliang feel insecure.The society was severely damaged, and people's lives could not be maintained. More than 100,000 people starved to death in Guzang City, and there was even a tragic scene of cannibalism.Some of the surviving people asked to go out of the city to survive. Lu Long was afraid of causing a chain reaction and buried them all alive.At this time, Nanliang and Beiliang often sent troops to harass Houliang. Lu Long felt that he was at the end of his rope, so he asked Houqin to accept their surrender in July of the third year of Shending (403 A.D.).When Qi Nan and others who were appointed by Yao Xing to welcome Lu Long arrived in Guzang, Lu Long went to the side of the road to greet him in white clothes.Not long after Lu Long arrived in Chang'an, he was killed by Yao Xing in the name of treason, and Hou Liang perished.
