96, Section 3 Wang Jun and Shi Le's confrontation

The confrontation between Wang Jun and Shi Le in the third quarter

The Central Plains are falling apart, Liu Yueshi is so magnificent.

Continuous traces rise and fall, and one hand supports the Jin room.

Fortune is brought by God's will, and ghosts and beasts are born from a piece of wood.

The public will be famous for hundreds of generations, and the world will be divided into north and south.

After Duan Ji's six family members formed an alliance with Shi Le, they led the Duan family's army to withdraw. After Duan Bu withdrew, it was equivalent to withdrawing the main force. Wang Chang, the general sent by Wang Jun, saw it and thought, "If you leave, I will leave too."

, so he also led his troops to withdraw.

Wang Chang returned to Jicheng and reported to Wang Jun about the alliance between Duan Ji and Shi Le. Wang Jun was furious and immediately summoned troops to be ready. He did not immediately send troops to attack Duan, but sent envoys first before going.

He recruited Duan Ji's six family members to go out to fight, trying to test his thoughts. However, Duan Ji's six family members flatly refused. Wang Jun saw that Duan Bu had no hope, so he sent people to Daji City with gold, silver and jewelry to win over Murong.

The troops worked hard for him, and he appointed Murong Wei as the regular servant of the Sanqi, the commander-in-chief of the vanguard, and the chief chanyu.

Murong Xuan knew better than anyone else that if he accepted Wang Jun's offer, he would be dragged into a pirate ship by him, and he would have to work hard for him in the future. Therefore, Murong Xuan asked, "Wang Jun, you are also an official of the Jin Dynasty."

, why do you come to grant me an official position?

After Wang Jun was rejected by the Murong tribe, he turned to the Tuoba tribe.

Now the Tuoba tribe has been merged into one, and Tuoba Yilu is in charge of it alone, because his brother and uncle are both dead. Moreover, he has just obtained the land of Xingbei and established two capitals respectively.

, Shengle was the northern capital, and Pingcheng was the southern capital. It was not enough for him to have both. One day, he climbed to the west mountain of Pingcheng and saw the magnificent mountains and rivers in the south, so he built a new city in that place for his eldest son.

The Sixth Cultivator Tuoba guarded the area, and asked his nephew Tuoba Pu to control the north.

Although the Tuoba Ministry is not big, there are three in the capital alone. Moreover, the Tuoba Ministry has just merged into one, and now it is decentralizing power. This is for fear that the Tuoba Ministry will not split.

Wang Jun sent people to find Tuoba Yilu to form an alliance and asked his opinion. Tuoba Yilu agreed without thinking. He thought this was a good opportunity. Wang Jun wanted money and food. At that time, Duan Yilu

Didn't the ministry rely on Wang Jun to develop? Now it was finally his turn, and he also wanted a share of the pie. So he immediately sent troops to Jicheng and attacked Lingzhi City together with Wang Jun's troops.

Duan Ji's six family members had been prepared for a long time. When Wang Jun and Tuoba's army arrived, they were exhausted due to the long journey and had no rest. They joined the battle as soon as they arrived, so they were easily defeated by Duan's army.

.

Wang Jun saw that the Tuoba tribe was defeated and returned, and he was thinking about his next plan. At this time, Shi Le sent an envoy.

Wang Jun received Shi Le's envoy, who presented a letter written by Shi Le. In the letter, Shi Le first praised Wang Jun greatly, and then began to complain about how he was bullied under Liu Cong. Please ask

Ming Gong showed great mercy and saved me from the fire and water. I am willing to do the whole horse's work for you.

When Wang Jun saw Shi Le taking the initiative to surrender and show his sincerity, he was also very happy, and he was a little overwhelmed with joy. He immediately gave Shi Le a whisk, and then sent his own envoy to take the whisk back. From here

It can be seen that Wang Jun is really stingy. He only rewards people with a whisk and wants them to work for him.

After Shi Le received the reward, he immediately sent someone to hang the whisk in the main hall, and then led his subordinates to bow three times and nine times to the whisk to show respect for Wang Jun.

Then Shi Le took Wang Jun's envoy to visit around the military camp. Shi Le had already made preparations. He deliberately hid all the elite soldiers and generals, leaving only the old, weak, sick and disabled in conspicuous places.

Show it to Wang Jun’s envoy.

When Wang Jun's envoy went back and explained the situation, Wang Jun really thought that Shi Le was not strong enough to support him in fighting him, so he believed Shi Le and took no precautions against him. Not long after, Shi Le sent an envoy again to say

I want to go to Jicheng to meet Wang Jun in person, and I want to support Wang Jun as emperor.

Wang Jun was naturally very happy, thinking that this was the first person to support him as emperor. He really deserves to be someone who understands me. Yes, yes.

However, Shi Le was reluctant to leave. His adviser Zhang Bin saw Shi Le's worries. He was worried that after he left, Liu Kun would take the opportunity to attack Shi Le's rear.

Zhang Bin gave Shi Le another idea. Liu Kun and Wang Jun have always had a feud. We might as well send a hostage to Liu Kun and agree with him to attack Wang Jun together. This way, he will not take the opportunity to attack our rear. Liu Kun

After receiving Shi Le's request, he promised not to take the opportunity to attack Shi Le's rear.

With this, Shi Le was relieved, and he immediately led his men to march into Jicheng. Shi Le first asked his men to drive countless cattle, sheep, and horses in front. The livestock filled the road, and the army was behind. Wang Jun first saw the people driving in front.

Wang Jun laughed loudly, thinking that Shi Le was a good person, and he gave such a big gift when he first arrived. He immediately ordered to go down and open the city gate to welcome Shi Le.

When Shi Le saw the city gates wide open, he immediately led his men into the city. Although they encountered some resistance, it was relatively smooth. After entering the city, Shi Le first had people blockade the treasury. Then he entered the palace. Of course, the first thing

The task was to gather all Wang Jun's wives and concubines together for his entertainment at any time. Then he tied Wang Jun in front of him, counted his sins in front of everyone, and ordered him to be sent to Xiangguo to be executed.

Shi Le surrendered Wang Jun's men, selected 10,000 elite soldiers among them, and kept them for himself. The rest of them were dismissed. All the grain and grass supplies were transported to Xiang State, and his general Liu Han was left to guard Jicheng.

.Then Wang Jun's head was sent to Pingyang, like Liu Cong's presentation.

After the arrangements were made, Shi Le led his army back to Xiangguo.

As soon as Shi Le left, Duan Pidan secretly contacted Shi Le's guard in Jicheng, Liu Han, and the two of them joined forces to occupy Jicheng.

At this time, Duan Pidan had not publicly fallen out with his brother. Shi Le originally wanted to win over Duan Bu, so he did not pursue the matter. This was tantamount to handing over Jicheng to Duan Pidan, and Duan Pidan stayed.

Jicheng.

Wang Jun's rapid demise caught all the powerful men in the north by surprise. Especially Liu Kun. He originally thought that the power of Shi Le and Wang Jun would be enough for them to fight for a year and a half, and in the end he would be able to reap the rewards.

However, he never expected that Wang Jun would be killed so easily. Now that the situation was even more serious, Liu Kun responded immediately and returned the hostages sent by Shi Le, and then persuaded Shi Le to surrender to the Jin Dynasty.

But Shi Le only gave Liu Kun a generous gift in return and did not agree to surrender. Liu Kun sighed. He believed that the current situation facing the Jin Dynasty could only be solved by one person, and that person was her good friend Zu Ti.

So Liu Kun wrote to Sima Rui to recommend Zu Ti.

At this time, Zu Ti was among the refugees because of the fall of the Central Plains. He crossed the Huaihe River with the refugees and came to the Jiangnan area. He had been thinking about the Central Plains along the way and was always thinking about restoring the Central Plains, so he wrote to General Sima Zhendong.

Rui hoped to get the support of the imperial court and let him lead the Northern Expedition. He wrote several times but received no response.

It wasn't until Liu Kun wrote to Sima Rui to recommend Zu Ti that Sima Rui summoned him.

Sima Rui was surprised when he saw Zu Ti. Although he was dressed like a beggar, his heroic spirit could not be concealed. It was obvious at a glance that he was a strong man with lofty ideals. Sima Rui first expressed to him

Sima Rui expressed his ardent expectations, and then explained the crisis situation facing the country today. Finally, Sima Rui decided to let Zu Ti lead the northern expedition to restore the Central Plains.

But Sima Rui also expressed his pain, saying that Jiangnan was poor and lacked food. In fact, when he heard it, he knew that he just didn't want to give it out. If Jiangnan was short of food, what else would the people of the country have to eat? Sima Rui said that Bingzhou was guarded by Liu Yueshi

, I am very relieved. As long as you can defend Henan for me, you will be a great contributor to the Jin Dynasty. In the end, Sima Rui assigned him rations for 1,000 people and 3,000 horses. Zu Ti relied on Zu Ti to figure out the rest of the supplies.

.

In 313 AD, Zu Ti was named General Fenwei and governor of Yuzhou. Obviously, Sima Rui wanted to get something in return without paying, and let him go out alone. If he could successfully conquer the Central Plains, then this would still be the territory of the Jin Dynasty.

, if the Northern Expedition failed, he would not lose anything.

After Zu Ti returned, he called the refugees, and everyone responded and actively signed up to join the army. Because these people had fled from the Central Plains and came here. Like Zu Ti, they always wanted to return to their homeland, and now they finally had someone to take them with them.

When they returned to their hometown, they were naturally moved and supportive. In this way, Zu Ti led these people to cross the Yangtze River and head north together. Zu Ti swore that if the Central Plains could not be restored, he would never cross the Yangtze River again.

Liu Cong was probably the most embarrassed person at this time. Shi Le was nominally his minister, but Shi Le's territory was much larger than what he controlled, and it was uncertain who would annex whom in the future.

Although Liu Cong was very worried, the only thing he could do now was to keep adding more titles to Shi Le, hoping to use his fame and wealth to stabilize Shi Le. So Liu Cong made Shi Le the Grand Commander-in-Chief of the Shandong Military and other more than a dozen official positions, and gave him 50,000 households.

Common people, their courtesy is almost as good as that of the emperor.

At the same time, Liu Cong knew that only by strengthening his own strength could he reduce his fear. Therefore, he ordered Liu Yao to quickly capture Guanzhong.

After Liu Yao received the order, he immediately led his headquarters to launch a fierce attack on Chang'an. Sima Bao, who was stationed in Qinzhou, watched the tense situation in Chang'an and just looked on with cold eyes and did not send troops to assist. Emperor Min of Jin Dynasty, Sima Ye, had no choice but to order the generals from all over the world to go to the capital of Qin.

After Sima Bao received the order, he just pretended to send troops and horses, but he did not let them reach Chang'an, but only asked them to cut off the road halfway.

No one in the Sima family wanted to defend the country in Chang'an, let alone the generals in other towns. Only more than 1,000 people sent by Zhang Gui, the governor of Liangzhou, rushed to the gate of Chang'an, but these people were of no help. Soon, there was no food in Chang'an.

, Emperor Min of the Jin Dynasty called on everyone to dig wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger, and even those below scholar-bureaucrats could only catch mice and snakes to eat.

The two sides fought a protracted battle around Chang'an. This siege lasted for a year and two months. All the wild vegetables and rats in Chang'an were eaten, and Emperor Sima Ye of Jin Dynasty could no longer defend it.

, it can be considered worthy of the ancestors of the Sima family until now. In the end, Sima Ye had to leave the city and surrender. The Jin Dynasty lost all its power in the north. Liu Cong was very happy, and announced the change of Yuan Dynasty to Linjia that year.

In the Western Jin Dynasty, from 265 AD, Sima Yan usurped Wei and proclaimed himself emperor. Since the establishment of the Jin Dynasty, there have been four generations of emperors: Sima Yan, Emperor Wu of Jin, Sima Zhong, Emperor Hui of Jin, Sima Chi, Emperor Huai of Jin, and Sima Ye, Emperor Min of Jin. A total of 52 years.

The khanate established by the Huns was destroyed. In fact, the Western Jin Dynasty only destroyed Dongwu in 280 AD and truly realized the unification of the country. The time from unification to its destruction was only 35 years. A short 35 years, just passed
