Chapter 58 Chapter 4 The Lord of Injustice

Times have changed, Youzhou used to be Liu Xiu's northern Shaanxi, but now northern Shaanxi is lost, but Liu Xiu is not in a hurry.At this time, Youzhou has lost its strategic significance to Liu Xiu. Until April of the fourth year of Jianwu (AD 28), Liu Xiu finally freed himself from the Central Plains, and sent his descendants General Zhenglu General Ji Zun, General Xiaoqi General Liu Xi and others to lead the Central Plains soldiers into Youzhou to regain the lost ground. Ji Zun entered Zhuojun first, attacked Zhang Feng, and captured him in one battle.Zhang Feng was captured. He thought that his destiny belonged to him, and he still had illusions in his heart. He lured Zun and said: "There is a jade seal in my elbow, and I am destined to be the emperor. If you let me go, I will have the world in the future, and I will give half of the country to you." You." Ji Zun laughed loudly, took Zhang Feng's elbow stone, chopped it with his sword, and when the stone was broken, where did the jade seal come from?Not even jade!Only then did Zhang Feng realize that he had been fooled by a Taoist priest, and he looked up to the sky and sighed, "Die without hatred!"

Ji Zun killed Zhang Feng, Qiantunliang Township, Liu Xi Tunyang Township, and threatened Yuyang.Peng Chong led the Xiongnu cavalry to attack, Geng Kuang sent his second son Geng Shu to attack halfway, defeated the Xiongnu army, beheaded the two kings of the Huns, Peng Chong retreated. Ji Zun stayed in Youzhou, where he and Peng Chong fought against each other for more than a year. They fought dozens of times, winning consecutive battles. Peng Chong's wife often had nightmares, and often saw strange changes, so she asked them about divination and fortune-telling.Divination and qi-watchers all say that there will be a disaster of swords and soldiers, which will rise from the inside.Hou Lanqing, a disciple of Peng Chongtang, once took Peng Chong's place as a hostage in Luoyang. Peng Chong was suspicious of this, and ordered his son Hou Lanqing to lead the army to stay outside to guard against him.

In March of the fifth year of Jianwu (AD 29), Jicheng.Peng Chong had the habit of fasting, and he was alone in the toilet, and fell asleep unconsciously.The servant Zimi and the other three sneaked into the room, tied Peng Chong to the bed, Peng Chong woke up and struggled, the three of them were not polite, and immediately beat each other with fists and kicks.Peng Chong couldn't bear the pain, so he faltered and let the three of them manipulate him, never daring to act recklessly again. The three of Zimi pretended to be Peng Chong's orders, dismissed the foreign officials, tied up the slaves, closed the door of the house, and then called Peng Chong's wife to enter, and when the wife entered the room, she exclaimed: "Slave rebellion!" Zi Mi stepped forward, grabbed his wife by the hair, slapped his hands roundly, and gave him more than a dozen slaps, and his wife became honest.Peng Chong wanted to save his life, and scolded his wife, "Hurry up and buy luggage for the three generals."

Peng Chong's wife led Zimi and another slave to fetch the treasure, while a young slave stayed behind with Peng Chong.Seeing that Xiao Nu was young and deceitful, Peng Chong took the opportunity to seduce him: "You little boy, I have always loved you. I know that Zi Mi forced you to do this. I don't blame you. As long as you untie me, I will take you out of my life." When your daughter Zhuzhu marries you, all the belongings in the family will be given to you as a dowry." Xiaonu is so deceitful, and when he heard the words, he wanted to untie Peng Chong, and looked outside, Zimi was staring at him with a gloomy expression. He didn't dare immediately, slapped Peng Chong hard on the mouth, and cursed: "When death is imminent, how dare you break your mouth!"

Zi Mi collects gold, jade and clothes, and prepares six horses to pack them.At night, Zimi untied Peng Chong's hands, and ordered Peng Chong to write a letter, saying: "Now send Zimi to wait for Zihou Lanqing's house, open the door quickly, and don't keep him." He also ordered Peng Chong's wife to sew. Two sacs.Peng Chong's wife sewed the sacks, Zi Mi said with a smile: "Do you know what these two sacks will hold?" Peng Chong's wife laughed and said: "There are treasures at home, I will fill these two sacks immediately " Zimi laughed wildly and said: "The pouch does not contain treasures, but your heads." After speaking, he raised the knife and cut off the heads of Peng Chong and his wife, and put them in the pouch.

The three of Zimi went out of the city at night, and the general at the city gate saw Peng Chong's letter, but he didn't dare to ask more questions, so he opened the door and let them go.The three of Zimi traveled day and night, went straight to Luoyang, and offered the heads of Peng Chong and Liu Xiujin.Liu Xiu not only liked Zimi's meritorious deeds in killing Peng Chong, but also hated his behavior of betraying his master and seeking glory, so he made a compromise and sealed Zimi as a lord, and named him an unrighteous lord. The next day, seeing that the door of the mansion had not been opened for a long time, Peng Chong's subordinates broke in and saw two headless corpses.Shangshu Han Li and others supported Peng Chong's son Peng Wu and succeeded him as King Yan.Within a few days, the national teacher Han Li beheaded Peng Wu, raised Peng Wu's head, and surrendered to Ji Zun.Ji Zun recovered Jicheng and wiped out Peng Chong's clan.

After Peng Chong died, Youzhou was finally settled.
