Chapter 117 Chapter One Hundred and Sixteen

In August of the third year of Taichu (399 A.D.), the bald-haired Wugu, the king of Nanliang, fell from his horse and suffered serious injuries.When his younger brother bald-haired Li Lugu rushed to the palace after hearing the news, the bald-haired Wugu was already having difficulty breathing.I only heard Wu Gu saying intermittently: "The burden of regaining Liangzhou has to be borne by you." He stopped breathing after speaking.One month later, the bald-haired Li Lugu inherited the throne of Nanliang. In April of the first year of Jianhe (AD 400), Lv Zuan of Houliang sent troops to crusade against Nanliang, and soon reached Sandui.The bald-haired Li Lugu hurriedly sent his younger brother bald-haired Ji Tan to lead troops to resist.The Nanliang soldiers were a little nervous when they saw that Houliang's troops were very strong.The bald-haired Xun Tan was very calm. He came to the front line, jumped off his horse, and sat on the bed to talk with the officers and soldiers. It seemed that he didn't come here for a life-and-death fight, and he quickly stabilized the morale of the army.After a while, Xun Tan fought against Lu Zuan, beat Lu Zuan to the bum, and fled in a hurry.

The bald-haired Lilugu has a lot of ambitions. He has only inherited the throne for more than a year, but he thinks the title of king is too low and wants to be emperor.In the first month of the second year of Jianhe (AD 401), the court ministers catered to his psychology and urged him to proclaim himself emperor, but General Anguo objected: "Our country follows water and grass, and migration is impermanent. Only by building a city can we look at the desert and compete with the Central Plains. If the capital city is built, it will be difficult to get rid of disasters, and the accumulation of food will arouse the greed of the enemy. It is better to let the Han people live in the city and provide us with food and clothing. We Xianbei people continue to live on horseback and do military training well. If the neighboring countries are weak, we will Go and fight them; if they are strong, we will avoid them. This is the long-term solution." After hearing this, Li Lugu said with a smile: "You are right, let's talk about becoming emperor later, let's be the king of Hexi first! "

Soon, Li Lugu used troops against Houliang, won the first battle, captured Houliang's right servant alive and shot Yang Huan.In December of the same year, Lilugu sent Xun Tan to capture Changsong, and captured Houliang Changsong prefect Meng Yi alive.But not long after, Li Lugu died of illness and was given the posthumous title of "King Kang".
