The rebellion resumed, and Liu Yu fought against Lu Xun in 811

Liu Yu led the Eastern Jin dynasty army to the northern expedition to Southern Yan, and continued to fight hard for nearly a year, so that Lu Xun, who had been slightly stable for several years, and Xu Daofu, the main general under his command, suddenly felt that there was no pressure and wanted to move.

When Sun En jumped into the sea and died, and Lu Xun was elected as the leader, it was the eve of Huan Xuan coming to power and preparing to usurp the throne, and there was no time to entangle with Lu Xun, so he recruited Lu Xun and appointed Lu Xun as the Taishou of Yongjia. Lu Xun ostensibly accepted the offer, but secretly he kept harassing him. Huan Xuan also had to send Liu Yu to lead an army to recruit Lu Xun's rebellious army.

In 404, Liu Yu defeated Xu Daofu and Lu Xun successively, so that Lu Xun could not stay in Yongjia and had to flee south by boat to the Guangzhou area.

After that, Lu Xun occupied Guangzhou, called himself the General of Pingnan, began to develop in the Guangzhou area, and slowly gained a foothold.

In order to ease relations with the Eastern Jin court and let Liu Yubei always stare at himself, in early 405, Lu Xun sent people to pay tribute to the Eastern Jin court, expressing his willingness to continue to submit to the subject.

At that time, the Court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty had just quelled the Huanxuan Rebellion, and the internal and external chaos in the government and the public was in a mess, and there was no time or ability to send a large army to suppress Lu Xun, who was far away in Guangzhou, so it accepted Lu Xun's overtures and appointed Lu Xun as the general of Zhengyu, the assassin of Guangzhou, the general of Pingyue Zhonglang, and Xu Daofu as the first xingxiang, which was once again lu xunzhao into the system.

Of course, both sides also know that this is still only a nominal and temporary peace.

After that, Lu Xun was also much more stable, although he had been expanding his own power and his strength had gradually recovered, but at least he was not so unscrupulous and randomly invading everywhere.

Upon learning of the news that Liu Yu had led a large army to leave the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Northern Expedition to Southern Yan, and the internal strength of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was empty, Lu Xun and Xu Daofu could not sit still and were ready to take the opportunity to start another incident, but Lu Xun had always been a little hesitant. No way, the shadow that Liu Yu had caused him was too deep.

Hesitating and hesitating, in 410, seeing that Liu Yu still had not finally defeated Southern Yan, Lu Xun was finally persuaded by Xu Daofu to launch a rebellion again. After that, Lu Xunbing divided into two routes, one led by himself, attacking Changsha, and the other leading Xu Daofu, invading the area of Nankang, Luling, and Yuzhang. Officials at all levels in Changsha and around Nankang, Luling, and Yuzhang saw Lu Xun making a comeback, and most of them threw away the cities and civilians they were guarding, and fled in the wind.

A raging fire broke out in the backyard of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Learning that Lu Xun had rebelled again, the Eastern Jin court was in disarray, and hurriedly sent emissaries to urgently transfer Liu Yu back to the dynasty to suppress the rebellion.

At this time, Liu Yu had completely eliminated Southern Yan and was dealing with follow-up matters. It's just that the news hasn't reached the Eastern Jin court yet.

Upon learning the news, Liu Yu did not dare to delay the time, after all, the Eastern Jin Dynasty was his base camp. Hastily arranged for his cronies to guard the important areas of Later Yan in the original town, after which Liu Yu led his army back to the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

At this time, within the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Zhennan general He Wuji took the lead in meeting the enemy. He led his generals from Xunyang to meet Lu Xun. Unfortunately, He Wuji was somewhat light enemy, and he hastily marched into the army, hastily encountering the large group of rebels led by Xu Daofu. The two sides fought a scuffle, although He Wuji fought desperately, but in the end he was outnumbered, the Jin army was defeated, He Wujie sacrificed his life for the country, holding the Su Wu Festival, and died in battle.

The eastern Jin dynasty court was even more alarmed.

Liu Yu did not expect that the situation had reached such a critical point, so when he began to retreat, Liu Yu proceeded according to the normal marching speed, and at this time, the army had just arrived in Shanyang.

Hearing the news that He Wuji had died on the battlefield, Liu Yu was also surprised.

Worried about the safety of the jingshi Jiankang City, Liu Yu ordered the generals to take off their armor, advance lightly, and quickly rush to the Yangtze River at the speed of a rapid march.

When the Jin army reached the Yangtze River, there was a strong wind on the river, and it was very dangerous to cross the river. But at this moment, Liu Yu could not care about these things, and forced the soldiers to cross the river by boat.

Fortunately, the big boat successfully crossed the Yangtze River and reached Jingkou.

Knowing that Liu Yu led the army back, the Eastern Jin court finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, the defenders of various parts of the Eastern Jin Dynasty also led their armies to meet The Rebellion of Lu Xun and defend Jiankang.

However, most of these rebels under Lu Xun's command were old thieves who had been involved in the rebellion for many years, and their combat effectiveness was very strong and extremely difficult to deal with. First, Liu Daogui, the assassin of Jingzhou, was defeated by Xu Daofu' hands, and then, liu Yi, a Wei general who had been dissatisfied with Liu Yu, led a 20,000-strong army to meet the battle, but was also defeated by Lu Xun and Xu Daofu, and the 20,000-strong army was almost completely destroyed, Liu Yi only led hundreds of remnants to flee in defeat, and the rest of the soldiers were either killed on the battlefield or captured by the rebel army and taken prisoner.

At the critical moment, Liu Yu led his army to Jiankang, and finally managed to stabilize the situation.

However, at this time, Liu Yu's troops were also at the lowest level of combat effectiveness. The generals under Liu Yu's command had been fighting in Southern Yan for nearly a year, suffered heavy casualties, had just won the victory, had no time to rest and replenish their soldiers and horses, and returned to the Eastern Jin Dynasty at the speed of a rapid march, after a long battle and exhaustion, the Northern Province army was no more elite, after all, it was flesh and blood, of course, the combat effectiveness was sharply reduced.

Moreover, the soldiers who could follow Liu Yu to Jiankang and have combat effectiveness were only a few thousand, and the rebel army under Lu Xun's command after successive victories had returned to its peak state, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers, chariots and warships connected, vast and mighty, stretching to a hundred miles away, the building ships in the river, as high as twelve zhang, and the hills generally slowly driving in the direction of health in the Yangtze River.

What is even more chaotic is that those generals and soldiers who fled back after the defeat in various battlefields, in order to show that they are not incompetent, but that the enemy army is too strong, add oil and vinegar, and constantly exaggerate the lineup and prestige of the chaotic army.

As a result, the emperor in Jiankang City, as well as the civil and military officials, had just been confused again because of Liu Yu's return to barely stabilize his emotions, and they all advised the emperor to move the capital, that is, to escape.

Thirty-six counts go up, let's run.

At the critical juncture, we still have to look at Liu Yu. Liu Yu resolutely rejected the proposal to flee and insisted on fighting the enemy head-on.

Liu Yu understood that at such a chaotic moment, as long as he ran away with the emperor, the people's hearts and minds of the entire Eastern Jin Dynasty would inevitably collapse, and at that time, the whole world would inevitably fall apart and disintegrate, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty would be completely finished.

Because Liu Yu was in power at this time, so Liu Yu did not nod, everyone could not run, whether they wanted to or not, afraid or not, they could only stay in Jiankang.

Next, Liu Yu calmed the hearts of the army, shrunk the troops, arranged the defense, on the one hand, recruited the people into the army, enriched the troops, at the same time, mobilized the people to rest the fortress Stone City, strengthen defensive measures, and personally led the army to garrison Stone City.

Liu Yu's composure was just like fixing the needle of the sea god, and at the critical moment, it stabilized the hearts and minds of the army and the people, so the area around Jiankang City was not chaotic because of the arrival of the rebel army, and the military and civilians were all in their places and in good order.
