Yi Zhi Zhu: Last time, we mentioned that in 327 AD, at the end of the year, Shi Sujun in Liyang rebelled with Yuzhou Shi Zuyo. In 328, in February, Su Jun's army invaded the capital Jiankang, took Yu Liang, the supervisor of Zhongshu, who held the imperial government, jumped on a motorcycle, and fled to Jiangzhou Shi Wenxiao, who was seeking Yang by the Tun army.

On February 7, Su Jun's army entered Taicheng (Miyagi), and Situ Wang Dao said to Chu Qiao (read Ruxiang):

In response to the change, the emperor should come to the main hall, and you should quickly invite him out.

Chu Qiao immediately entered the inner room and carried Emperor Cheng Sima Yan (eight years old) to the front hall of Taiji. Director Wang and Guanglu Doctors Lu Ye and Xun Song, as well as Shangshu Zhang Min and others all boarded the imperial bed and surrounded Sima Yan in the middle. He also appointed Liu Chao, a general of the left guard, as the general of the right guard, and stood with Zhong Ya and Chu Qiao, and Kong Yu guarded the temple. At that time, hundreds of officials fled, and the palace province was devastated.

Su Jun's soldiers rushed into the hall and scolded Chu Qiao to retreat.

Chu Qiao stood still and scolded, Su Jun came to meet the emperor, how could the soldiers be so presumptuous!

Su Jun's soldiers were shocked by Chu Qiao's momentum and did not dare to go to the palace, but instead rushed into the harem, and the palace maids and the attendants around the empress dowager were robbed. Su Jun's soldiers drove officials to do hard labor, and Guangluxun Wang Bin (Wang Dun's cousin) and others were beaten by these big-headed soldiers with sticks and forced to act as porters to transport various things to Jiangshan (Zhongshan, east of Jiankang City). The palace maids and noble women, all stripped naked, had to cover their bodies with broken mats or straw mats, and some did not even have straw mats, so they sat on the ground, smeared dirt on their bodies to cover their shame, and cried and cried, which was miserable.

Originally, after Gu Xiao (Dangtu County, Anhui Province) was captured by the rebels, Shangshu Zuo Cheng Kongtan said to people:

It seems that Su Jun will definitely break through Taicheng, and if he is not a soldier, he should not wear a military uniform.

When Taicheng was captured, most of those in military uniforms were killed, and those who did not wear military uniforms were probably spared.

In the warehouse, there were 200,000 horses of cloth, five thousand catties of gold and silver, hundreds of millions of money, tens of thousands of horses of silk, and other items of similar value, which were robbed by Su Jun. The imperial official (imperial kitchen) snatched several stones of grain from the embers of the fire for Emperor Sima Yan to feed himself.

Someone said to Zhong Ya, your personality is too straight, the thief will definitely not be able to let you go, so let's plan early.

Zhong Ya said:

The country is in chaos and cannot be corrected, the monarch is in danger and cannot be saved, and each of them flee only to save his life, is this the practice of human subjects!

Yi Cilu said: Last time we said that in the face of the crisis, Yu Liang fled to survive, and Zhong Ya stayed to die. I personally believe that these two people are not simple and should not be judged solely by moral standards. Just as after the failure of the Pengpen Reform Law, Liang Qichao fled east to Japan, Tan Sitong resolutely went to death, and it is impossible to simply judge who is right and who is wrong.

Eastern Jin War | Wen Feng provoked Tao Kan to participate in the war, and Yu Liang bowed down to Xigou

On February 8, Su Jun issued an amnesty for the whole world, and only the Yu Liang brothers were not included in the pardon.

Su Jun thought that Wang Dao's name was high and dezhong, so he continued to serve in his original position. Appointed Yuzhou Shi Zu Yao as Shizhong, Imperial Lieutenant, and Shang Shuling (Zu Yao sent troops to assist Su Jun, but he still stayed with Shouchun, the seat of the Yuzhou Prefecture government), Su Jun appointed himself as a hussar general and Lu Shangshu, Huainan (the county government set up Shouchun) Taishou Xu Liu (Zu Yi's brother-in-law) as Danyang Yin, the former general Ma Xiong as the left guard general, and Zu Liao (Zu Xizi) as the Xiao cavalry general.

Sima Yi, the king of Yiyang, visited Su Jun and slapped Su Jun's, and Su Jun was very useful, so he restored Sima Jun's title as the king of Xiyang, appointed him as Dazai, and recorded the shangshu affairs.

Yi Cilu said: In 326 AD, Yu Liang murdered Sima Zong the King of Nanton, and Sima Yi the King of Xiyang, Sima Yi, who was Sima Zong's elder brother, was implicated and demoted to the title of King of Yiyang. Therefore, Sima Yi's surrender to Su Jun was not necessarily greedy for life and feared death, but more likely to be a political adventure.

Su Jun sent troops to attack Yu Bing (Yu Liang's elder brother) in Wu, but Yu Bing could not resist and fled to Huixing (Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province). Su Jun offered a heavy reward, and the search in various places was very tight. Yu Bing fled to Zhejiang (Qiantang River), where his attendants hid him on a boat, covered him with bamboo mats, and sang while rowing against the current. Whenever he encountered a patrol post, he struck the hull of the ship with a wooden stick and shouted:

Where to find Yu Bing? Yu Bing is here.

The sentinels thought that this product was drinking high nonsense, but they didn't care, and Yu Bing finally escaped.

Su Jun appointed Cai Mo as Wu's internal history to replace Yu Bing.

When Jiangzhou Shi Wenjiao heard that Jiankang had lost, he cried bitterly. After Yu Liang arrived in Xunyang (Jiujiang, Jiangxi Province), he announced the Empress Dowager's edict and appointed Wen Jiao as a hussar general, Kaifu Yi with the third division, and Xuzhou Shi Xijian as a sikong.

Wen Jiao said, now we should take the elimination of thieves as the first priority, I have not achieved an inch, but I have been promoted to an official first, let the people of the world think!

So he resolutely pushed back.

Wen Zheng has always respected Yu Liang, and although Yu Liang was defeated this time, Wen Zheng respected him even more, and divided part of his forces for him to command.

Eastern Jin War | Wen Feng provoked Tao Kan to participate in the war, and Yu Liang bowed down to Xigou

【Wen Taizhen】

In March, Yu Liang's old sister and Empress Dowager Yu Wenjun died of sorrow.

In April, the Later Zhao general Shi Kan attacked Wan County (Nanyang, Henan Province), and the Taishou Kingdom of Nanyang (the county government set up Wanxian County) of the Jin Empire surrendered. Shi Kan then attacked Zuyo and attacked Shouchun City. The generals under Zuyo all sent envoys to see Shi Kan, saying that we would return to Great Zhao! One of them, Chen Guang, directly led his army to attack Zuyo. Zu Yao had a subordinate, named Yan Bald, who looked like twin brothers to Zu Yao, and Chen Guang's pawn captured Yan Bald, and Xizizi went back to repay the merits, and Zhen Zuyo was able to escape over the wall. Chen Guang defected to Hou Zhao.

In July, Zuyo's army was defeated and fled to Liyang (Hexian County, Anhui Province), where more than 20,000 households were captured by Shi Kan.

Yu Liang and Wen Jiao planned to raise troops to attack Su Jun, but the road was cut off and they did not know the news of Jiankang. Just as Fan Wang from Nanyang came to Xunyang, he said to them:

Su Jun's decree was chaotic, greedy and brutal, and unscrupulous, and it was already showing signs of destruction. Although it was said that it was only a matter of time before he was killed, now that the imperial court was in danger, it was urgent to attack Su Jun.

Wen Feng believed that Fan Wang was right, and Yu Liang appointed Fan Wang to participate in the military.

Yu Liang and Wen Zheng both elected each other as the leader of the alliance, and Wen Zheng's cousin Wen Chong said:

Two brothers, what are you two polite with here? Just our little soldier, not Su Jun's opponent at all, let's just say to ourselves, in my opinion, the general Tao Kan of Zhengxi, is a heavy soldier, we have to pull him into the group! Why don't you all elect him as the leader of the alliance together."

Yi Cilu said: Tao Kan's position at this time was to be a general in the west, supervising the military forces of the four prefectures of Jing, Xiang, Yong, and Liang, and the history of Jingzhou, and the prefecture government setting up Jiangling (Jiangling County, Hubei Province).

Wen Zheng then sent an envoy to Jingzhou and invited Tao Kan to go to the country together.

At the beginning, when the Ming Emperor Sima Shao died, he neither included Tao Kan in the Tuogu team, nor did he add Tao Kan to the knighthood, Tao Kan has always been worried about this matter, he replied to Wen Zheng, "The old man is a foreign general guarding the border, and I dare not exceed my authority."

Wen Feng sent people to persuade him many times, but Tao Kan refused to join the group.

Wen Feng was helpless, so he had to send someone to say, Rengong, you don't move for the time being, I will fight the rebels first.

Yi Cilu said: Hu Sansheng's note says that since the Han and Wei dynasties, Zaifu and Yue Mu were generally called Duke Ming; Wen Feng called Tao Kan the Duke of Ren, probably taking the righteousness of the world to return to Ren, which means that the officials of the Great Jin Dynasty all respected Tao Kan very much.

Two days after the envoy had set out, Mao Bao (Wen Zheng was a general in Pingnan and Mao Bao was a cadre under him) from Xingyang (Xingyang City, Henan Province) had returned from a business trip, and after hearing about this, he persuaded Wen Zheng to say:

Whoever does great things should pull everyone in the world to do it together. If the army wants to win, it must strengthen unity, and you must not do yours, I will do mine. Even if there is really internal discord, it cannot be revealed and let the enemy know, how can they actively fall into a situation of mutual suspicion! You hurry up to chase the messenger back, revise the letter, and be sure to emphasize the joint dispatch of troops with Tao Kan. If it is too late to recover the history of the letters, then send someone to rewrite the letters.

As soon as Wen Feng heard this, Mao Bao was right, and immediately recovered the previous envoy, rewrote the letter, and sent his troops to send Wang Xuan as an envoy, honoring Tao Kan as the ally of Su Jun. Only then did Tao Kan agree to send troops and send Gong Deng, the governor, to lead the army to join Wen Zheng.

When Wen Zheng received the news, he was greatly pleased, and in the name of Tao Kan, Yu Liang, and himself, he wrote to Shangshu, stating the crimes of Zu Yao and Su Jun, led an army of 7,000, boarded a boat, and issued a message to the town of Sifang Zhengzhen, to the effect that it said:

Zu Yao and Su Jun, these two goods, are extremely evil, and God will kill them; Our men, who have joined together, will defeat them; Su Jun, Zu Yao, combined forces, there are only 5,000 people, and they can't last a few days before they are finished; The general Tao Gong of Zhengxi has promised to work with us to suppress the rebels and thieves, and the generals of the prefectures and counties must listen to the dispatch of the Duke of Tao, and with the shame of the snow country, everyone must achieve "profit and social welfare, death and life"; There are those who can behead Zu Yao and Su Jun, be fifth-class marquis, reward ten thousand horses, and so on.

Yi Zhilu said: "Gou Li Sheji, death and life", familiar or not?

If a country lives and dies, it will avoid it because of misfortune.

Lin Zexu's famous sentence turned out to be from Wen Taizhen.

Just when Wen Zheng was fierce, Old Master Tao didn't know what the reason was, and suddenly repented again. Didn't he send Supervisor Gong Deng to join Wen Zheng? This time, he sent someone to call Gong Deng back.

Wen Feng is so angry, his heart said that Tao Lao Han, you want to dry hair! At this time, Tao Kan's son, Tao Zhan, a scattered horse constant attendant, had died in the Sujun Rebellion.

Wen Feng wrote to Tao Kan again:

I believe that the army will continue to retreat, and it should be increased but not reduced. Recently, a message has been issued to various places, with you as the leader of the alliance, and it is agreed that the army will be raised in a big way on the fifteenth of next month. The armies of Nankang, Jian'an, and Jin'an counties have already been raised, and as soon as Rengong's army arrives, they will march together. You are now suddenly recalling the army, leaving everyone wondering, and the success or failure of the big thing is determined here. I am not talented, but I have a great responsibility, and I really need to follow your instructions with your love. I took the lead and acted as a pioneer, and did not dare to shirk. I and you, the Lord of Ren, shall be like the serpent of the usual mountain, guarding each other from head to tail; It is also like lips and teeth, relying on each other. I fear that some people will not understand your deep meaning, thinking that you are not eager to fight the traitors, and once this rumor spreads, I am afraid that it will affect your reputation. You and I are both commanders of one side, and we can be described as solidarity. These days, I have close contacts with you and have a deep affection, which the people of the earth know.

If I am in danger, I also hope that you will lead all the people to rescue me, not to mention that the society is in trouble now! We, Jiangzhou, civil and military officials, are all looking forward to you. If Jiangzhou is not guaranteed, Zu Yao and Su Jun reappoint the prefecture and county officials, then your Jingzhou, the west is a powerful Hukou, and the east is confronted by the rebels, once the food supply is not available, you will face a crisis far worse than today's Jiangzhou. Sending troops to beg thieves, to a greater extent, you are a loyal minister of the Great Jin Dynasty, and you can establish the merits of the Duke of Qi Huan and the Duke of Jin Wen; At a young age, you also have to avenge Ah Zhan! Zu Yao and Su Jun were fierce and rebellious, and their sins shocked heaven and earth. Regardless of the officials and the people, they cut their teeth and hated them. Now, when we send troops against them, it is like smashing eggs with stones. You were late to leave the army, and now you recall the army, and the hearts of the people will be scattered, which is simply creating your own failure when success is in sight! I hope you will deeply understand what I have said and do not disappoint the soldiers of the three armed forces.

Yi Cilu said: Why Tao Kan retired from the army, I am puzzled. If you have to give a reason, it may be that you don't want to be with Yu Liang, but it's a little far-fetched.

Tao Zhan is Tao Kan's eldest living son, with good ability and reputation, and was killed by Su Junbu. Therefore, Wen Zheng used Tao Zhan's death to stimulate Old Master Tao.

Tao Kan received the letter, and Wang Shuzhi said to him again, Su Jun is a jackal, if he is allowed to gain his will, although the world is big, can you have a foothold!

Tao Kan had some understanding, and his wife Gong Shi also persuaded him to leave quickly, so Old Master Tao put on a military uniform and boarded the warship, and his son Tao Zhan's funeral did not participate, and traveled day and night to meet Wen Zheng.

Sikong Xijian was in Guangling (Huaiyin, Huaiyin City, Jiangsu Province), received an edict from Yu Liang, and swore with tears that he would go to the country to be martyred, and the soldiers all fought bravely. Xi Jian sent the general Xiahou Chang and others to change their civilian clothes and went to meet Wen Zheng, saying:

Some people have heard that the rebels are preparing to coerce the Son of Heaven to go to the meeting, and we should set up a stronghold in advance and occupy the main points, which can not only prevent the rebels from escaping, but also cut off their food routes, and then stand firm and clear the wilderness and wait for the rebels. If the rebels can't take the city and can't grab anything, they will surely collapse without a fight.

Wen Feng thought it was right.

In May, Tao Kan led his army to Xunyang. A post immediately became popular on the hot search list of the Great Jin Dynasty, saying that Tao Kan planned to kill Yu Liang to thank the world. This post went viral in the circle of friends, and after Yu Liang heard about it, he was scared half to death. After a fierce ideological struggle, Yu Liang adopted Wen Zheng's suggestion and personally went to bow to Tao Kan to apologize. Tao Kan was shocked at that time, stopped Yu Liang, and said, Yu Yuangui (庾亮字元規) actually came to bow to me!

Yu Liang launched a profound self-criticism of Tao Kan, both sincere and radiant, Tao Kan unconsciously fell in love with Yu Liang, saying:

Junhou repaired the stone city, originally to guard against Lao Tzu, but today he came to meet me (Junhou repaired stones to imitate Lao Tzu, today I see and ask for Yah)!

Then the conversation and laughter were quite hearty, until the night.

During the meal, Yu Liang eats cabbage (a perennial herb with bulbs underground, bulbs and young leaves that are edible. 薤讀 Ruxie), only eat leaves, not Xuebai (about the root of Xuebai). Tao Kan asked why. Yu Liang said that Xue Bai can be replanted. Tao Kan couldn't help but praise, Yu Yuangui not only looked good, but also had a good set of political ah.

【It is said that this is Kaorena】

Yi Zhilu said: At that time, there were no stir-fried dishes, all kinds of ingredients, either stewed or eaten raw, and the vegetables should be eaten raw with dipping sauce. Tao Kan saw Yu Liang's side, and his impression of Yu Liang was completely changed, and he never ate Xue Bai and saw Yu Liang's ruling ability, we have to admit that Yu Liang's crisis public relations ability is not generally strong.

Regarding Yu Liang's seeing Tao Kan, there are also two kinds of records in "The World Speaks New Language", with different emphases, but there is no contradiction, which can be rubbed up:

Su Jun rebelled, the imperial court overturned, and Wen Zheng and Yu Liang asked Tao Kan for help. Tao Kan said that Suzu (Emperor Ming Sima Shao) did not mention me, and Su Jun made a mess because the Yu brothers provoked them, as long as they killed them, they could order Su Jun to retreat. After Yu Liang heard this, he was panicked and had the intention to escape, but there was nowhere to go; Meeting with Tao Kan and worrying about being killed is really a dilemma. Wen Feng advised Yu Liang to visit Tao Kan, but Yu Liang hesitated. Wen Feng said, Xi Dog is very familiar to me, you go to see him, I will ensure that you are okay. Yu Liang only then made up his mind to see Tao Kan, after the meeting, Yu Liang didn't say a word, turned his head and bowed, startled Tao Kan, quickly got up and helped each other, said, why did Yu Yuangui worship Tao Shixing (Tao Kanzi Shixing)? Yu Liang took the initiative to sit in the next seat, and Tao Kan asked him to sit with him. After sitting down, Yu Liang began to self-criticize, with a humble attitude, Tao Kan was unconsciously relieved, Yunyun.

Yi Cilu said: In the episode "The Battle for Jingzhou: After Making Great Achievements, Kanye Was Sent by Wang Dun", we discussed that Tao Kan was not a Han, but a Xi tribe in Wuling's barbarians. According to legend, the ancestor of the Xi tribe is called "Gong Gong (pronounced as Panhu)", and Gong Gong is a colorful big dog, which may be the reason why Wen Zheng called Tao Kan "Xi Dog".

【Gong Gong】

After that, Tao Kan, Yu Liang, and Wen Zheng rushed to Jiankang together, with a total of 40,000 soldiers (60,000), the Jing banner stretched for more than 700 miles, and the sound of war drums vibrated loudly. The army pointed directly at the stone and was stationed in Caizhou (southwest of Nanjing, Jiangsu Province). Zu Yao saw that Tao Kan and Wen Zheng's army was strong, and said to his henchmen, I have long known that Mrs. Wen can really serve the fourth prince, and now it has been fulfilled.

Yi Cilu said: Reading this paragraph carefully, I changed my previous impression of Tao Kan and Yu Liang, and I met a cowman who carried social grain on his shoulders - Wen Zheng.

Tao Kan's performance in the process of crusading against Su Jun is quite inconsistent with his historical reputation, showing that Old Master Tao, who was once considered to be the pillar stone of the Great Jin Dynasty, is also an ordinary person after stripping off his aura, and he also has all kinds of gains and losses of ordinary people.

Yu Liang, I always thought that he was a nerd, eating ancient times, and forcing Su Jun to rebel, is the most powerful proof. However, as the chief executive of the empire and an outstanding representative of the Shidafu Group, he was able to bow down to the "Xigou" Tao Kan, who had always despised, and defused a major crisis between the important ministers of the imperial court.

In fact, the judgment of historical figures must first regard them as human beings, not the whitewashed image we remember. A cow man who can unite a group of people and complete a cause. And those people he unites are not perfect, they all have all kinds of defects, even very serious flaws, and the reason why the cow man is cattle is that he can integrate a large group of defective people together to form a huge joint force.

From a certain point of view, Wen Zheng is such a cow man, Zu Yao said that "Wen Tai can really do things for the four princes", which means that Wen Zheng can bring all kinds of people together and complete the work like the four princes of the Warring States.

In the entire process of calming down the Su Jun Rebellion, the apparent alliance leader is Tao Kan, and the actual core is Wen Zheng, and I use one word to evaluate him:

Cattle!
