Section 7: Can Jin Min Emperor Sima Ye save the defeat?

One hundred and six fortune-telling strategies are poor, life grows and hates the water, the hero raises his hand to hold the sky in vain, the bitter wind and rain sigh at the red autumn.

AD 311 can be said to be a key turning point in the Jin Dynasty.

First, Sima Yue, the Taifu of the Jin Dynasty, died of illness, and Shi Le annexed his tribe. Then Luoyang fell, and Emperor Huai of Jin Dynasty was captured. Gou Xi made Sima Duan the crown prince, stationed in Mengcheng, and established a new central government. As a result,

It wasn't long before he was defeated by Shi Le, Gou Xi was killed, and the central government he established was naturally destroyed. Later, Chang'an fell, and the Jin army supported Sima Ye as the crown prince.

Then let’s talk about Sima Rui in Jiangnan. With the assistance of two brothers, Wang Dun and Wang Dao, his sphere of influence continued to expand and he was elected as the leader of the Jiangnan alliance. Hua Yi and others who followed him to Jiangnan were dissatisfied, so Sima Rui sent

The army destroyed all those who disobeyed him. In this way, Sima Rui basically controlled the entire Jiangnan area.

Over in the Han Kingdom, Wang Mi originally planned to kill Shi Le, but he didn't expect that Shi Le was superior and killed Wang Mi first and annexed his tribe. After Liu Yao captured Chang'an, he guarded it, but he failed.

He was repeatedly defeated by the defenders around the Jin Dynasty. Liu Yao had no choice but to abandon Chang'an and was demoted by Liu Cong. Liu Cong sent him to send troops to attack Jinyang, but Liu Yao, his buddy, suffered another defeat. Liu Cong's enjoyment

But his heart became more and more serious, and he established six queens in one go.

Sima Ye was established as the crown prince in Chang'an, and Sima Rui stabilized the situation in Jiangnan. At that time, the Jin Dynasty thought that the situation was gradually improving and that it would soon return to its original prosperity.

At this time, Liu Kun took the initiative to write a letter to the crown prince Sima Ye, saying that the source of the chaos in the world was the Huns and Han Dynasty. If a large army was sent to eliminate Liu Cong, other rebels would be frightened and would not

The attack was self-defeating. He requested that the generals in Guanzhong be ordered to leave Puban in the east, the generals in the south of the Yangtze River to attack Luoyang in the north, and the troops in Youzhou to attack Jingxing in the west. In this way, the Xiongnu would be close to being destroyed, and the Jin Dynasty would be restored.

Just around the corner.

Liu Kun's strategy can be said to be well planned. After the fall of Chang'an, the Huns' sphere of influence has retreated to the two counties of Hedong and Hanoi. If it can be implemented according to the method Liu Kun said, several armies of the Jin Dynasty will besiege the Han Dynasty together.

It will definitely work for the country. But the problem is that now the Jin Dynasty does not have a strong central government. Will all the soldiers and horses in the world obey the crown prince Sima Yecheng of Chang'an? I am afraid that all the forces will only consider themselves.

The interests of the Jin Dynasty will not really contribute to the Jin Dynasty.

Sima Ye was very happy to see Liu Kun's memorial in Chang'an and immediately began to implement it. The next year, Liu Cong sent people to poison Emperor Huai of Jin Sima Chi. After Sima Ye got the news, he immediately ascended the throne in Chang'an.

After ascending the throne, Sima Rui, king of Langya, was granted the title of General Zhendong and a series of other official positions. Sima Bao was granted the title of Grand Sima, with the title of Commander-in-Chief of all military affairs in Shaanxi.

Sima Ye's idea is very simple. Although the current chaos is caused by his Sima family, he still only trusts his Sima family at the critical moment and wants to use the Sima family's children to stabilize the situation first.

Sima Yecheng either read a lot of history books or had expert guidance under him. He was clearly following the example of Ji Fa, King Wu of Zhou Dynasty. After King Wu Ji Fa of Zhou Dynasty passed away, his successor, King Zhou Cheng, was still young.

, he had no choice but to let his two younger brothers assist his son. He ordered Zhou Gong and Zhao Gong to rule Shaanxi separately and jointly assist the king. Jin Min Emperor Sima Ye regarded Sima Rui and Sima Bao as Zhou Gong and Zhao Gong in the Zhou Dynasty, so they could

He said he had high hopes for them and even put his entire family fortune on these two people.

Sima Yecheng wrote an impassioned appointment edict. The language in it was almost pleading. He hoped that the two of them could follow Liu Kun's suggestion and quickly send troops to attack the Xiongnu, restore the Jin Dynasty, and realize the great cause of ZTE. However, things could really be like Sima

Is it what Ye expected? The answer is of course no. Sima Rui was the first to disobey his orders. He had no intention of going north in the first place. He just wanted to manage the Jiangnan area well so that he could use this as a base in the future. He could plot the world when he advanced and he could retreat when he retreated.

There is nothing to worry about. Everyone has their own Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts, so this is difficult to deal with. Although Sima Rui didn't want to listen to Sima Ye's orders, he still had to do things to save face. He sent his generals to lead a group of soldiers

Ma, pretending to go north. Then they stopped in the Yangzhou area on the pretext that Shi Le's troops were strong and the Jiangnan area had not yet completely settled down.

Let’s talk about Sima Bao. Sima Bao is the son of Sima Mo. His biggest characteristic is that he is fat, has sexual dysfunction, and cannot have children. As a result, his character is very distorted and his temperament has changed drastically, making it difficult for ordinary people to understand.

When Sima Ye awarded the reward, he was in Chang'an. After receiving the order, he made an excuse to go to Longshang to recruit troops and horses, and then took the opportunity to slip away. He has been stationed in the Qinzhou area, neither making progress nor returning to Chang'an. Sima Ye

This time there was no chance. I originally had high hopes in my heart, but this time it turned out that both of them were supercilious and there was no hope at all.

Seeing this situation, Liu Kun could only sigh with regret. He had a good plan, but he couldn't put it into practice. But if God's will fails, he still has to do his best. If they don't listen to the court's orders, that's their business.

Liu Kun still determined to be a loyal Jin Dynasty official. In this way, Liu Kun led his army southward according to the original plan. One army was led by himself, and the other was still led by his good assistant Tuoba Yilu.

The army of Lu joined forces to attack Pingyang.

Liu Cong had just heard that the Jin Dynasty had planned a plan, and several armies were carrying out the encirclement and suppression plan together. He was so frightened that Liu Cong became restless and did not think about food and drinks. He hurriedly ordered all the troops to come back to defend Pingyang. Later, he saw that only Liu Kun and his army came to attack.

Liu Cong finally took a breath. Liu Cong ordered Liu Jie to lead his army to stop Liu Kun, and ordered Liu Yi to lead his army to stop Tuoba Yilu. At this time, Tuoba Yilu said something very insightful. The world belongs to his Sima family.

, now the children of the Sima family are fighting for each other's territory and do not want to serve the country. What is the use of us people with foreign surnames working so hard for them?

Liu Kun thought about it carefully, and he was the only one who came with an army all the way, so he was no match for the Huns. Finally, Liu Kun drew his sword and struck the stone, sighed, and led the army back to Jinyang. At this point, the Jin Dynasty was revived.

The last chance was shattered.

Sima Ye, the Emperor of Jin Dynasty, saw that the children of the Sima clan were unable to take on important responsibilities, so he began to trust outsiders and rewarded those generals in various towns. Sima Ye made Wang Jun, the governor of Youzhou, the Grand Sima, and Zhang Gui, the governor of Liangzhou, the Taibao.

, and made Liu Kun, the governor of Bingzhou, a Taiwei, but it was too late now and it would not help. The Jin Dynasty was already swaying, just like the leaves on the trees in autumn. As long as there is a slight gust of wind, they will quietly fall to the ground.

Insights on life: Talent lies within, use lies outside; virtuousness lies within, doing is outside; existence lies within, nothingness lies outside. This is the principle of using emptiness as great reality, using nothingness as great being, and using non-use as great use. People take

Reality, I alone take the emptiness; people take the existing, I alone take the nothing; everyone strives for the upper hand, I alone strive for the lower; everyone strives for the useful, I alone strive for the useless. This is the wonderful Taoist principle of life. What you strive for is small gains.

A small thing has a small use, but it is indisputable that it is a big gain, a big thing, and a big use.

Therefore Zhuangzi said: "When the trees on the mountain grow up, they are naturally used for fuel; cinnamon is edible, so it is cut down; glue and paint are beneficial, so they are harvested; people all know the useful function, but do not know the useless function.

." Therefore, we should not seek benefits with our spirit, seek career with our talents, do not harm the public with our private interests, do not use ourselves to implicate others, do not use our knowledge to pursue knowledge, and do not use our knowledge to exhaust our lives.

River oysters are hurt because pearls are precious and rare, and foxes are hunted because their fur is precious. People with a humble heart should hide their will and not deliberately show it, hide the tangible in the intangible, and hide the possessions in the nothingness.
