Chapter 52 Jiangdong is boiling and Jin Zuo is shaking

——The political situation of the Eastern Jin Dynasty during the Sun En Rebellion The internal and external troubles of the Eastern Jin Dynasty had just subsided for a few months, and then the big bad news came again.At the end of the third year of Long'an Antiquity (399), the thief Sun En took the opportunity to revolt because of the people's thoughts. He sent troops from the island, killed the county magistrate of Shangyu, attacked Kuaiji, and killed Wang Ningzhi, the son of the calligrapher Wang Xizhi, and his other sons. Sun En's rebellion did not happen overnight.The Sun family of Langya is also the surname of the aristocratic family, and they have believed in the "Five Dou of Rice" for several lifetimes.Sun En's uncle, Sun Tai, has always been a teacher of Du Zigong, a native of Qiantang, and has learned a lot of "alchemy" equivalent to today's magic. "(The people) fools respect him like a god, and they all exhaust their property and offer their children to pray for blessings and celebrations."

At that time, Wang Xun once told Sima Daozi, the king of Kuaiji, that Sun Tai used black magic to deceive people, so he exiled him to Guangzhou.The local officials in Guangzhou were again bewitched by Sun Tai's "illusion", and even appointed the cult leader as the prefect of Yulin (now Guixian County, Guangxi).In the last years of Emperor Xiaowu, he wanted to live forever and strengthen his yang, so he called Sun Tai back to the capital. Sima Daozi hurriedly made him a false official in Xuzhou, and gave him money and land to let this monster "alchemy" every day. Wang Gong raised an incident, and Sun Tai used the pretense of attacking Wang Gong to confuse the scholars and gather the disciples privately.After Sima Yuanxian came to power, he also heard about this monster's yang-strengthening secret technique, and went to his residence many times to ask for the secret recipe of "Viagra".Sun Tai became more and more arrogant, thinking that the Jin Dynasty was about to end, so he lured the people in Wudiguang, using the "five buckets of rice" as a lure, and often met with his disciples in secret to plot chaos.The imperial court knew a lot about this, but because of his deep friendship with Sima Yuanxian, no one dared to expose his background.Finally, the internal historian of Kuaiji handed over the real evidence and reported to the Jin court that Sun Tai wanted to rebel.Sima Daozi estimated that Sun Tai's plot would endanger him, so he sent someone to kill the demon and his six sons.

"Five buckets of rice" originated in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and its original teachings were not too harmful.However, after Du Zigong, Sun Tai and others mastered it, they confuse the public with demonic words and constantly added "new content", and gradually became a cult.Moreover, in the rural society without close economic ties at that time, cults happened to be the best organizational form for Sun Tai and Sun En's uprising.The deceitfulness of cults is astonishing.Sun Tai was slaughtered in the city, and his disciples heard the news, they all thought that the leader was "a cicada sloughed out to become an immortal", they gathered together and stood by the seaside, throwing gold, silver, treasures, wine and food into the sea to sacrifice to this monster.

Sun En held a grudge.Not long after his uncle Sun Tai was killed, he knew that Sima Daozi and his son's grievances spread all over the world, so he relied on the terrifying gathering power of the cult to gather tens of thousands of people in a very short period of time, and killed Wang Ningzhi and others in the eight counties of Wuzhong in one fell swoop. Several magistrates, including Xie An's two sons, Xie Miao and Xie Chong, ran rampant for a while. The reason why Sun En's rebellion is so easy is that the cult members spread all over the prefectures, counties, government offices and defenders, and they responded to everyone's call and immediately responded to the call.

"At that time, Wu Chengping was in peace for a long time, and the people did not practice war, so the soldiers in the counties and counties were all defeated by the wind." After Sun En occupied Kuaiji, he called himself General Zhengdong, and named his cult members "Longevity People". Anyone who disobeyed the local scholars would be executed by the whole family, including babies.After conquering the counties, the Sun En cult organization killed and dismembered the local guards, boiled them in a cauldron, and forced the guards' wives and children to eat the corpses of their relatives in public.Anyone who disobeyed will be tortured, killed and circumcised again, with the utmost cruelty.This frenzied cult team did all sorts of evil. Anyone trapped in the city would burn down the city, fill up the wells, and kill all the people who didn't follow.

All the followers of the cult regarded Kuaiji as the "Holy City of Adults" and gathered at Sun En.Many cult women threw their own flesh and blood into the water and drowned because they had children, saying: "Congratulations on your first entrance to the fairy hall. I will meet you after I see the leader." Obsession is so obvious, which shows the instigation of the cult. Sex, deceit is so frightening. Fortunately, in the land of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, except for the vast territory occupied by Huanxuan, Liu Laozhi, Yang Quanqi, etc., the orders of the imperial court were only valid in the land of the Three Wus.Sun En was in chaos, all eight counties fell, bandits and bandits arose, and even Jiankang City had many cultists lurking, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty was almost left with nothing but an empty shell.Seeing this, the Jin court hurriedly took Sima Yuanxian as the general of the Chinese army, and ordered Liu Laozhi and Xie Yan, Xie An's son, to lead troops to challenge Sun En.

The Jin army won the first battle.Once the regular army of Xie Yan and Liu Laozhi's government arrived, Sun En's army of rebels couldn't resist at all, and they were defeated one after another. Heroes come out of troubled times.It was Sun En's rebellion that led to Liu Yu, a great hero who made great achievements in the future and finally usurped the Jin Dynasty. Liu Yu is a lowly man from Beijing, "only knows how to read and write, and sells shoes for a living", and is fond of gambling, fighting cocks and horses, he is actually a hooligan who runs rampant in the countryside.Liu Laozhi attacked Sun En, no matter good or bad, he recruited people everywhere, as long as he had a good body and could hold a gun and shoot arrows.As a result, Liu Yu joined the Jin Army and served as a low-level military position similar to a reconnaissance platoon leader.Once, Liu Yu went out to perform a patrol mission, and suddenly encountered thousands of cult thieves.Liu Yu was born as a local ruffian, with such disparity in military strength, he was not afraid at all, and rushed forward with a dozen people around him.Soon, everyone died, and Liu Yu himself was stabbed to the bank of the river by the thief.The cult members were not afraid of death, and rushed forward, wanting to jump down and kill the little leader of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.Holding a spear in his hand, Liu Yu raised his head and stabbed wildly. He actually picked and killed several thieves.Liu Yu screamed and killed, and hundreds of cult members died under his spear.If no one saw it at the time, no matter what Liu Yu himself said, others would not believe the "Arabian Nights" that one man is against thousands of people. However, Liu Jingxuan, the son of Liu Lao, found that Liu Yu's reconnaissance team had not returned to the camp for a long time, so he led the army When I went out to search, I happened to see Liu Yu "driving thousands of people alone". The group of people forgot to come forward to help for a while, and stood there and sighed. "Because of attacking the thieves, they attacked them greatly and captured more than a thousand people."After becoming famous in the first battle, Liu Yu was born like this.

When Sun En broke through the eight counties, he laughed and said to his subordinates: "There is nothing wrong with the world, and we should go to Jiankang with all the lords." Soon after hearing that Liu Laozhi sent troops, Sun En said again: "I will cut off Zhejiang ( To the east of the Qiantang River, it’s worth doing a Goujian!” Then, when he heard that Liu Laozhi’s army had crossed the river, Sun En was open-minded and hurriedly said, “I’m not ashamed to leave alone.”As he kept his word, Sun En hurriedly wrapped more than 200,000 men and women and fled eastward, discarding gold, silver and treasures along the way, and pushing down the beautiful girl who was robbed in the road.The discipline of the Jin army led by Liu Laozhi was very poor, and each of them scrambled for beautiful women and treasures, which caused the leader of the big cult to escape and go to the island to hide.

The three Wu scholars looked forward to the "official army", but after Liu Laozhi arrived, he plundered with troops and was greatly disappointed. The Jin court was afraid that Sun En would come again, so he appointed Xie Yan as the prefect of Kuaiji and led troops to guard Haipu. The young power traitor Sima Yuanxian thought that he was responsible for Ping Sun En, and he was so arrogant that he almost flew into the sky.Some flatterers on the left and right praised him as a hero for a while, and some praised him as a celebrity. Sima Yuanxian believed it, and ordered all the ministers in the court to pay homage to him.

Taking advantage of Sun En's chaos, former allies Huan Xuan, Yin Zhongkan, and Yang Quanqi all wanted to kill each other.Yang Quanqi, a rough man, kept sending letters to Yin Zhongkan and wanted to surprise Huanxuan.Huanxuan knew that Yang and Yin were married and watched him from the sidelines, so he wrote to the Jin court, asking for an increase in the territory he ruled.In order to separate these three people, the Jin court added Huanxuan as the governor of the four counties of Jingzhou to the military, and replaced Yang Quanqi's brother Yang Guang with Huanxuan's brother Huanwei as the captain of Nanman.

In anger and fear, Yang Quanqi reined in troops to build Ya, in the name of the Northern Expedition (Houtai Yaoxing attacked Luoyang at that time), and wanted to invite Yin Zhongkan to send troops to attack Huanxuan.Yin Zhongkan was afraid of Huanxuan and Yang Quanqi's arrogance after he gained power, so he not only refused to send troops, but also sent his cousin Yin Yu to station in the north of Jiangling to prevent Yang Quanqi from advancing. Yin Zhongkan has always been more suspicious than decisive.Luo Qisheng, one of his subordinates who consulted to join the army, said to his younger brother Luo Zunsheng: "Grand Yin is benevolent and never breaks, and he will meet difficulties. I have been informed by the public that I can't let go of righteousness, and I swear to die with me!" Due to the sudden flood in Jingzhou area at that time, Yin Zhongkan had to open warehouses to help the people. The warehouses were all empty and the army was short of food.When Huan Xuan heard the news, he immediately had the intention of attacking people by taking advantage of the emptiness.He first sent troops to capture Yin Zhongkan's barn in Baling, and then sent a letter to Yin Zhongkan, saying that he would lead troops to attack Yang Quanqi, who was unwilling to make progress and abandoned the imperial tomb, and ordered Yin Zhongkan to kill Yang Quanqi's brother Yang Quanqi. wide.At the same time, Huan Xuan secretly sent someone to write a secret letter to his elder brother Huan Wei who was in Yin Zhongkan's office, asking him to act as an internal response.Huan Wei was as timid as a rabbit, terrified, and exposed Huan Xuan's secret letter to Yin Zhongkan.Yin Zhongkan was shocked, and put Huan Wei under house arrest as a hostage. He personally wrote a letter to persuade Huan Xuan not to raise an army, "resigning bitterly even". Huanxuan's army marched together without any hesitation. He said to his left and right: "Yin Zhongkan is indecisive. He always has plans for success or failure. He is very selfish. Although my brother is detained by him, he certainly does not have to worry about his life." Seeing that Huan Xuan was tearing his face, Yin Zhongkang had to fight in a hurry, and hurriedly sent his cousin Yin Yu to lead 7,000 sailors to Xijiangkou to resist Huan Xuan's army.Huan Xuan dispatched his subordinates Guo Quan and Fu Hong (this Fu Hong is none other than the prince of Emperor Fu Jian. After surrendering to the Jin Dynasty, the Jin court placed Fu Hong in Jiangzhou, now Huan Xuan used) to attack and defeat Yin Yu.Yang Quanqi's brother Yang Guang came to rescue him, but was also defeated by Huan Xuan's army. Yin Zhongkan, who was trapped in Jiangling, was extremely embarrassed. Since there was no food in the city, he had to use the sesame seeds that were supposed to be squeezed for oil as rations for the defenders.One or two spoonfuls of sesame seeds are very fragrant, but it is not enough to eat them as a meal. The soldiers have loose stools, and the latrine is filled with the indigestible smell of sesame seeds. Huanxuan's army took advantage of the victory to advance to Lingkou, only 20 miles away from Jiangling.Yin Zhongkan had no choice but to urgently call Yang Quanqi to rescue him.Yang Quanqi refused at first, saying that there was no food in Jiangling, and he asked Yin Zhongkan to lead his army to break through and defend Xiangyang with him. Yin Zhongkan "aspired to protect the whole army" and didn't want to abandon his state land and flee to other people's territory, so he sent people to lie to Yang Quanqi and said: "Recently, we have been collecting food everywhere, and there are enough military reserves." Yang Quanqi believed it was true, he rode 8,000 horses at a foolish pace, with his armor shining in the sun, he made great fanfare all the way to Jiangling. When they arrived outside the city, Yin Zhongkan sent someone to deliver food, and there was only coarse rice for Yang Quanqi's 8,000 troops to eat, just enough to eat.Yang Quanqi was furious, and roared, "This game is over!" In such a rage, he avoided even entering the city to meet Yin Zhongkan, and commanded the army with his brother Yang Guang, he went straight to Huanxuan's army and fought to the death. Seeing Yang Quanqi's death, Huan Xuan was afraid, afraid to retreat to the horse's head to avoid his sharp attack.The next day, Yang Quanqi's eyes turned red with anger, and he led the army to attack General Huanxuan Guo Quan, almost capturing him alive before the battle.At the moment when Guo Quan couldn't resist, Huan Xuan led the troops to join the battle. Due to the large number of people, Yang Quanqi's sergeant was empty. In the end, Yang Jun was defeated and all 8,000 people were killed. Yang Quanqi fled alone. To Xiangyang.On the way, he was chased by Huanxuan soldiers and beheaded immediately. Yin Zhongkan, who was huddled in the city, saw that Yang Quanqi's army was defeated, so he followed the thirty-six tactics as the best plan, opened the door and fled, wanting to escape to Fengcheng.On the way, when he heard that Yang Quanqi had been killed, Yin Zhongkan changed the direction of his escape, preparing to leave Chang'an and join the Hou Qin.Before he had gone far, General Huanxuan Feng Gai led his troops to block the road and captured Yin Zhongkan alive. According to Huan Xuan's "instructions" in advance, Feng should throw a knife to Yin Zhongkan and ask him to commit suicide immediately.The matter has come to this point, there is no other way, and the famous person who has always been eloquent can't speak a word, so he can only close his eyes and slash his sword, and die by suicide. So far, Huan Xuan's two powerful allies in the past were all destroyed by him. When Yin Zhongkan fled from Jiangling, only Luo Qisheng, a subordinate official, followed him.When passing through the house, Luo Zunsheng pulled his elder brother off the horse and immediately hugged him tightly, begging that his old mother was at home so that his elder brother would not die with Yin Zhongkan.Yin Zhongkan was eager to escape for his life, so he didn't wait for Luo Qisheng, and led his followers to gallop away.After Huanxuan's victory, all of Yin Zhongkan's former subordinates went to see him, but Luo Qisheng refused to go and took care of the funeral for Yin Zhongkan. Huan Xuan was annoyed, but because the two had a friendship before, he sent someone to tell Luo Qisheng: "If you apologize to me in person, I will let you live." Luo Qisheng said to the visitor: "I am a subordinate of Duke Huan, and I am ashamed to be unable to rescue after the defeat. What can I apologize to Duke Huan for?" Huanxuan ordered Luo Qisheng to be arrested and prepared to behead him in public.Before the execution, Huan Xuan sent someone to ask Luo Qisheng what his last words were. Luo Qisheng replied: "Emperor Wen killed Ji Kang, and his son Ji Shao became a loyal minister of Jin; I have an old mother, and I beg Duke Huan to forgive my brother, thinking that my old mother will die in retirement." Therefore, Huan Xuan killed Luo Qisheng and pardoned his younger brother Luo Zunsheng. From this point of view, Huan Xuan is narrow-minded, and he will not be able to become an emperor in the end. After Huanxuan attacked and killed Yin Zhongkan and Yang Quanqi, the Jin court had no choice but to accept his request, and issued an imperial edict that Huanxuan was the governor of the seven states of Jing, Si, Yong, Tai, Liang, Yi, and Ning, and the governor of Jingzhou.Huanxuan still felt dissatisfied, and insisted that Jiangzhou governor should also add it, and the Jin court had to agree. Huan Xuan had just stopped here, but Sun En was not idle.In the spring of the fourth year (400) of Antiquity Long'an, he led another attack on the Jin army. As for Xie Yan, he was overly calm in Kuaiji, enjoying poetry and wine every day, and didn't take Sun En seriously at all.In the Battle of Feishui, this beautiful man personally led 8,000 elite soldiers and charged into the battle as a general of the auxiliary country. He fought side by side with his cousin Xie Xuan and made great achievements.However, after arriving in Kuaiji, Xie Yan had no ability to appease him, and he did not practice military equipment.The generals in the government tried to persuade Xie Yan to beware of Sun En's comeback.Xie Yan didn't listen, and said loudly: "Fu Jian has millions, and he is still sent to die in Huainan. Sun En, a remnant thief fleeing the sea, how dare he come again. If he can really come back, it is the sky that kills the country's traitor and makes him die quickly!" Sun En went out of Jiakou (now Zhenhai, Zhejiang), entered Yuyao, broke through Shangyu, and hit a place more than 30 miles north of Shanyin in one fell swoop.The two armies sent by Xie Yan were defeated, and everyone advised the commander to be more careful, divide the troops and set up an ambush to wait for the bandits.Xie Yan didn't listen, he still acted like a celebrity, "calm and calm" like his father. Sun En's army advanced rapidly.Xie Yan was about to have lunch, when he heard that the bandit army was coming, he pushed up the food and said loudly: "Destroy the bandit first, then eat it!" So this Mr. Xie straddled his horse and marched towards the enemy.Huan Bao, the vanguard of the Jin army, was brave enough to break the front and fall into the formation, and he really killed many Sun En's rebels in a short time. On Xie Yan's side, the sergeants marched on the narrow road between the river and the pond, and filed forward. In this way, they were targeted by the Sun Enshui army on both sides, and the Jin army fell to the ground one after another, causing a mess.Under the chaos, Xie Yan's command was unfavorable, and the Jin army was defeated.On the way to escape, Zhang Meng, a cult believer who believed in the "Five Dou of Rice" and the governor of Xie Yan's tent, showed his ferocious face, attacked Xie Yan from behind, and killed the handsome general and his two sons. Good luck will not come again.Xie Yan and his son took advantage of the right time, place and people in the Feishui battle to easily win a complete victory.So far, there is no chance to laugh and destroy the enemy, and finally lost his handsome head. In March of the fifth year of Antiquity Long'an (401), Sun En came out of Xiakou again and was shot away by Liu Laozhi. In April, Sun En turned to attack Haiyan and was defeated by Liu Yu. In July, Sun En suddenly appeared from the waterway In Dantu (now Zhenjiang), there were more than 100,000 soldiers and more than 1,000 warships, and the Jiankang and Jin courts were shocked. At that time, Liu Laozhi invited Sun En from Shanyin to attack Sun En. When he arrived, Sun En's army had already passed, so he ordered Liu Yu to come to the capital from Haiyan to help the capital.Liu Yu led a tired army of 800 to 900 people, without taking a breath, they rushed directly to the thieves occupying Suanshan.Unexpectedly, the rebel soldiers fled in a panic, and countless people died in the mountains and water. Sun En was so embarrassed that he barely survived and was returned to the boat. Despite this defeat, Sun En still had tens of thousands of soldiers, and he reorganized his troops again. Unexpectedly, he came to Jiankang to kill him.Sima Yuanxian led his troops to resist and lost consecutive battles.His father, Sima Daozi, acted like a tortoise with a shrunken head, and repeated his tricks. He went to Jiangshan every day and knelt in the Jianghou Temple to pray. Due to the huge size of the Sun Enlou ship, the speed is not fast enough.When he arrived at Baishi, he heard that several groups of the Jin army had entered the capital to help the capital, so Sun En went northward to Yuzhou (now Guanyun, Jiangsu).The Jin court took Liu Yu as the prefect of Xiapi and ordered him to attack Sun En.The two sides fought, and Liu Yu won consecutive victories.Sun En "became weak, and went to Hainan again", Liu Yu led the army all the way to chase after him. As for Huanxuan, with several towns and strong soldiers in his hands, he thought he already owned two-thirds of the territory of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, so he repeatedly sent people to present Fu Rui, which showed that he could be an emperor, in order to confuse the crowd.At the same time, he wrote a letter to Sima Daozi, accusing the imperial court of using inhuman beings, which brought the state affairs to this point. When Sima Yuanxian saw Huan Xuan's letter, he was "terrified" and asked Zhang Fashun, his "senior senator", for advice. Zhang Fashun said: "Huanxuan just took control of the territory of Jingzhou, and the favor is not attached, so he can order Liu Laozhi to march into the conquest." Sima Yuanxian deeply agreed.It happened that Yu Kai, the prefect of Wuchang at that time, was afraid that Huan Xuan's incident would hurt him, so he secretly sent someone to show his favor to Sima Yuan, saying that he would be an internal response to the court to punish Huan Xuan.Sima Yuanxian was overjoyed when he heard about it, thinking that something important could be decided. After Zhang Fashun arrived in Jingkou, he told Liu Laozhi Sima Yuanxian's intention to attack Huanxuan.Liu Laozhi was born as a military general, and he knew that Huan Xuan was both wise and brave, and he had a strong soldier, so he said, "This is very difficult." Zhang Fashun returned to Beijing and persuaded Sima Yuanxian to call Liu Laozhi into Beijing to kill him and lead his army so as not to spoil the big event.Sima Yuanxian did not dare to follow the suggestion to kill Liu Laozhi, but ordered to equip the navy urgently to prepare for the crusade against Huanxuan. In February of the first year of Yuanxing (402), Emperor An of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Jin court issued an edict announcing Huanxuan's crimes, and ordered Sima Yuanxian to conquer the military forces of the eighteen prefectures, and added Huang Yue to preside over the expedition.With Liu Laozhi as the forward governor and Qiao Wang Sima Shangzhi as the backup, the Qi army joined forces to attack Huanxuan.He also issued an edict to add Sima Daozi, the king of Kuaiji, as the grand tutor, and Emperor An was a big fool. All these edicts came from Sima Yuanxian and his left and right hands. Zhang Fashun persuaded Sima Yuanxian to kill Huan Xiu and all Huan's relatives, and made a proposal to order Liu Jianzhi to kill Huanqian's brothers to show that he had no second thoughts.After all, Sima Yuanxian was a young man in his early twenties, lacking in commanding skills, so he did not adopt these ideas. Although Huan Xuan had the ambition to replace the Jin Dynasty, he did not expect the Jin court to respond so quickly.When he heard that the Jin court sent troops, Huanxuan was also shocked. He wanted to retreat to Jiangling and fortify the city in order to protect himself.His chief Shi Bianfan advised: "Minggong, your prestige spreads far and near, Liu Laozhi lost his property, and Sima Yuanxian was a child. If Minggong goes straight to the capital, his collapse will appear immediately; if he shrinks back, he will delay If the enemy enters the country, the consequences will be disastrous!" Huanxuan is a smart man, after this point, he is overjoyed.He left his elder brother, Huan Wei, to guard Jiangling, resisted the appearance and spread the call, counted Sima Yuan's crimes, and led the army by himself, and went eastward.Before leaving, he sent someone to detain Yu Kai who had informed Sima Yuanxian in advance. Seeing Huan Xuan's call to action, Sima Yuan was "terrified". In March, Emperor An held a farewell party for Sima Yuanxian in Xichi, the imperial palace.The audience was full, Sima Yuanxian bit the bullet, said a few impassioned words, drank a few cups of Zhuangxing wine, and went straight to the warship with his sword in hand.Entering the cabin, the boy Sima Yuanxian was terrified and never dared to order the boat to sail. Liu Laozhi has always hated Sima Yuanxian very much.He was afraid that Sima Yuanxian would become even more arrogant after Huanxuan was destroyed.At the same time, he was afraid that all the birds would hide their bows and that high meritorious deeds would not be rewarded, so Liu Laozhi kept his head at both ends.At this time, he had a kind of wishful thinking: first use Huan Xuan's hand to get rid of Sima Yuanxian, and then, seeing the opportunity, take the opportunity to get rid of Huan Xuan.Liu Laozhi joined the army and Liu Yu volunteered to lead his troops to attack Huanxuan, but of course he did not see permission. Of course Huan Xuan would not be idle. He sent Liu Laozhi's uncle He Mu to lobby and persuade Liu Laozhi to say: People who have made great achievements since ancient times are rare.Goujian, the king of Yue, Bai Qi, the king of Qin, and Han Xin, the king of the Han Dynasty.Minggong, with your current situation, if you win, you will lose your family, and if you lose, you will lose your family!It's better to change the picture suddenly, but with me, Huan Xuan, you can keep your precious forever! These offensive words are justified and well-founded, and Liu Jianzhi nodded repeatedly. Liu Jingxuan, Liu Lao's son, He Wuji, his nephew, and Liu Yu, who joined the army, all admonished him, thinking that Huanxuan's wolf ambition was the reincarnation of Dong Zhuo, and he should be on guard against him, and it was not appropriate to communicate with him.Liu Jianzhi was furious and said: "Of course I know that Huan Xuan is not a good thing. It is easy to take Huan Xuan today. However, after Huan Xuan is destroyed, Sima Yuanxian will try every means to get rid of us!" Therefore, on April 15th, Liu Laozhi sent his son Liu Jingxuan to Huanxuan to express his surrender.With a strong army in his hands and a big town in his body, Liu Laozhi made such a bad plan, which can be said to be self-defeating. Huan Xuan and Liu Laozhi have formed an alliance, but Sima Yuanxian has not yet made an alliance. Just as he was pondering over whether to order the ship to attack or to stay where he was and wait for an opportunity, Sima Yuanxian suddenly heard that Huanxuan had arrived at the Xinting on the outskirts of Jiankang.The young man suddenly lost his soul, abandoned the boat and went ashore, and retreated to the Imperial Prison.Soon, he felt something was wrong again, so he set up another formation under Xuanyang Gate on horseback. Just when the formation was finished, the sergeants whispered to each other that Huanxuan's army had entered the south of Taicheng.Sima Yuanxian was frightened when he heard about it, and wanted to lead his army to escape into the palace.The Jin army finally formed a formation, and now they turned around and marched in the direction of the palace. Huanxuan had previously sent dozens of vanguard troops into the city. When the Jin army returned, he drew his sword and shouted behind them: "Let the battle go!" (put down the weapons) "The soldiers all collapsed." Before a single knife or shot was used, the tens of thousands of Sima Daozi and his son scattered like birds and beasts.Looking back, Sima Yuanxian saw Zhang Fashun riding behind him, and the rest of them ran until they disappeared. Fleeing into the East Mansion, Sima Yuanxian asked his father Sima Daozi for advice, but Daozi shook his head again and again without saying a word.The father and son wept at each other. Huanxuan led the army and marched into Jiankang.The Jin court took Huan Xuan as the prime minister, recorded the affairs of the book, and supervised all the military affairs at home and abroad, unifying the civil and military affairs. The reckoning begins.Huanxuan ordered people to send Sima Yuanxian (including his six sons who were only two or three years old), Sima Shangzhi, Yu Kai, Zhang Fashun and others to beheaded in the downtown area, and exiled Sima Daozi, King of Kuaiji, in Ancheng County.Not long after, Huanxuan sent someone to poison the wine and sex prince who had dominated the Eastern Jin Dynasty for many years, at the age of thirty-nine. After dealing with the father and son of Kuaiji King and his party members, Huan Xuan naturally turned his finger on Liu Laozhi. Huanxuan took Liu Laozhi as the internal history of Kuaiji by imperial edict. When Liu Laozhi heard the news, he was surprised and exclaimed: "Why, take away my military power so soon, a catastrophe is coming!" Liu Jingxuan returned to the army and persuaded his father Liu Laozhi to send surprise troops to attack Huanxuan.Liu Laozhi hesitated, so he moved his troops to Bandu. Liu Laozhi recruited Liu Yu and said, "I want to go north to Guangling and raise troops to fight against Huanxuan. Can you follow me?" Liu Yu refused. "The general surrendered with tens of thousands of soldiers. Huan Xuanxin won a big victory, and his power shook the world. The favor of the government and the public is gone. How can you get to Guangling? As for me, I can only return to Jingkou now." Liu Lao's nephew He Wuji followed Liu Yu out of the camp and asked, "What should I do?" Liu Yu said: "General Zhenbei (referring to Liu Laozhi) will not be immune to disaster. You can return to Jingkou with me. If Huanxuan keeps the minister's festival, he should do it with you, otherwise, he should share it with you!" Unwilling to give up, Liu Jianzhi gathered his officials and assistants to discuss the idea of ​​conquering Huanxuan in the north of the Yangtze River. Everyone was silent for a long time.Liu Xi, who joined the army, stood up and said in a loud voice: "There is nothing more impossible than rebellion. General, you rebelled against Wang Yanzhou (referring to Wang Gong) in the past, recently rebelled against Lord Sima Lang (referring to Sima Yuanxian), and now you are rebelling against Duke Huan (Huan Xuan) ), one person and three evils, how can we stand on our own!" After speaking, Liu Xi walked away in a huff.Most of the officials around Liu Laozhi scattered away. Seeing that the general situation was over, Liu Jianzhi regretted and feared, so he hurriedly sent his son Liu Jingxuan to Jingkou to meet his family.A few days later, seeing that Liu Jingxuan did not arrive, Liu Jianzhi thought that the whole family might be killed by Huan Xuan, so he hurriedly led several family members to flee north.Traveling to Xinzhou, the old hero was at a loss for what to do. He regretted so much that his intestines were green, and he hanged himself in the forest at night.When Liu Jingxuan came and ran in a hurry, he saw that his father had already hung the southeast branch by himself. It was too late to cry and fled to Guangling by Heidu River. Hearing that Liu Laozhi had hanged himself, his former bureaucrats and old officials remembered the old friendship, chose a good coffin, buried the old boss, and buried Dantu.Huanxuan didn't spare the dead, so he ordered people to chop the coffin out of the corpse, cut off Liu Laozhi's head, and dumped the corpse in the market. For Huanxuan, it is really a blessing that has never come to this day (I am afraid that in the future, "misfortunes never come singly, tomorrow will be the same").Sun En, the leader of the cult, heard of the civil strife in the Jin Dynasty, and invaded Linhai again, but was defeated by Xin Jing, the prefect of Linhai in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.This time there was no more luck, the Jin army pursued Sun En with no way to go to the sky and nowhere to go to the earth. In a panic, the leader of the cult threw himself into the sea and died. The cult's brainwashing is really powerful, and the disciples think that Sun En has become a fairy by falling into the water.There were hundreds of prostitutes and concubines who committed suicide with him.There were more than a thousand thieves left, and Sun En's brother-in-law, Lu Xun, was again the main one, and fled away.When Huanxuan was happy, he also felt that Lu Xun was from a rich family (his great-grandfather was Lu Zhan, who was a Zhonglang in the Jin Dynasty), so he made Lu Xun the prefect of Yongjia.Lu Xun ignored it, and soon sent troops to attack neighboring states and counties. Huan Xuan had to order Liu Yu to go on a conquest.At this point, temporarily press this person not to show.
