Stirring for four hundred years: Repeatedly defeated Lu Xun went south to Guangzhou, swept away the Yu Party Liu Yuwei and shocked the world

This article is the 254th in a long series, Four Hundred Years of Turmoil

In March of the first year of the Yuan Dynasty (402 AD), Sun En landed from the sea for the sixth time and invaded Linhai. This time, he did not meet Liu Yu, but he met another cruel person.

Under his leadership, the army and the people joined forces to defeat Sun En, and all the men and women of sanwu who were plundered by Sun En were killed in the chaos of the war.

Six consecutive attacks from the sea, all of which ended in failure, Sun En's discouragement, in despair, he chose to commit suicide by throwing himself into the sea.

Witnessing Sun En's suicide, his henchmen and his concubine geisha wept bitterly, and a hundred of them followed him to their deaths, and the believers called these people "Narcissus".

Although Sun En's death was not caused by Liu Yu's own hands, Liu Yu's role in it was beyond doubt, and it was he who defeated Sun En again and again that made Sun En's last thoughts go ashes.

After Sun En's death, the rest of the people, several thousand people, elected his brother-in-law Lu Xun as the leader.

A brief introduction to Lu Xun. Like Sun En, Lu Xun was also born into a famous family, and was the great-grandson of Lu Chen, with a beautiful and elegant demeanor and versatility.

When Sun En raised an army, Lu Xun plotted with him. Sun En's temperament was cruel, and Lu Xun often discouraged him, so many people relied on Lu Xun to survive and were deeply supported by his subordinates.

At this time, the situation was unstable, and Huan Xuan wanted to restore order by means of appeasement, with Lu Xun as Yongjia Taishou. Although Lu Xun accepted the appointment, he still committed misdeeds and became an official thief.

In May, Lu Xun led the rebels to attack Dongyang from Linhai, and Huan Xuan sent Liu Yu to lead an army to fight, and Lu Xun fled to Yongjia.

In the first month of the second year of Yuan Xing (403 AD), Lu Xun sent his brother-in-law Xu Daofu to invade Dongyang. In February, Liu Yu led his army to defeat Xu Daofu at Dongyang, and Xu Daofu retreated.

In view of Liu Yu's outstanding performance, Huan Xuan entrusted him with the task of attacking Lu Xun. In May, Liu Yu once again broke Lu Xun and killed his grand marshal Zhang Shidao.

In August, Liu Yu defeated Lu Xun again at Yongjia and pursued him to Jin'an, winning consecutive battles along the way. Lu Xun was cornered and had to cross the sea and flee south.

In the summer of the third year of Yuan Xing (404 AD), Lu Xun attacked Nanhai County, attacked Panyu, and stabbed Shi Wu Yinzhi of Guangzhou to resist for more than 100 days.

Late at night on the ninth day of October, Lu Xun launched a fierce attack, captured Panyu, captured Wu Yinzhi, burned the official houses and people's houses, and turned the whole city into a scorched earth.

Therefore, Lu Xun claimed to be the general of Pingnan, presided over the affairs of Guangzhou, gathered the corpses and skeletons together, and built a huge tomb on the island for burial, with more than 30,000 calvary heads and calvary alone.

Subsequently, Lu Xun ordered Xu Daofu to attack Sixing County, and captured Sixing Taishou Ruan Shyzhi. At this point, Guangzhou became Lu Xun's territory, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty had no time to conquest due to Huan Xuan's rebellion.

In the spring of the first year of Yixi (405 AD), Lu Xun sent envoys to Jiankang to pay tribute. At this time, Huan Xuan had just been pacified, and the imperial court was in ruins waiting to be revived, and Liu Yu decided to adopt a strategy of recruiting security.

On April 21, the Eastern Jin Dynasty court made Lu Xun the history of Guangzhou and Xu Daofu the first phase.

Transformed into a feudal official of the imperial court, Lu Xun triumphantly sent puzzle dumplings to his former old rival Liu Yu, which meant that what he could plan, he still had a good brain.

Liu Yu gave back the soup to continue his life, and the subtext is that you might as well live for a few more years and see if I will clean you up later.

Subsequently, Lu Xun was born in the former Lang Evil Neishi Wang as the Pingnan Changshi. Wang Was born into a family family and did not want to get entangled with Lu Xun, and lobbied Lu Xun: "I am not from the military, and there is no use in staying here." I have always been loved by Liu Yu, and if I can return to the north, I will definitely get his reuse. In this way, whether it is for public or private, when I encounter opportunities, I will definitely repay your kindness. ”

Just at this time, Liu Yu wrote a letter to Lu Xun and asked him to send Wu Yinzhi back, but Lu Xun did not comply. Wang Xun said to Lu Xun again: "The general detained Wu Gong, and Yu Gong made a mistake in both public and private affairs. How could Sun Ce not want to detain Hua Xin? It's just that there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. Lu Xun was moved by his words and sent him back to Jiankang with Wu Yin.

After returning to Jiankang, Wang Shi was consulted by Liu Yuren as a lieutenant to join the army, and later changed to Changshi. Grateful for Liu Yu's kindness, Wang Yu devoted himself to assisting and working tirelessly day and night, becoming one of Liu Yu's confidants.

Liu Yi had served as Liu Jingxuan's Ning Shuo to join the army, and many people regarded him as a hero Haojie.

Liu Jingxuan did not think so: "Extraordinary people have their own hearts, how can they see that he is a hero among people?" This person is generous in appearance, but narrow-minded, has a very high self-esteem, always wants to be above others, and once he has great power, he will definitely invite disasters because of his mistakes. ”

After Liu Yi heard about it, he held a grudge against Liu Jingxuan, and Liu Jingxuan heard a little about it.

After quelling Huan Xuan's rebellion, with the support of Liu Yu, the Eastern Jin dynasty court made Liu Jingxuan the assassin of Jiangzhou, but he thought that he had no merit and should not be above Liu Yi and others.

When Liu Yi learned of this, he was deeply dissatisfied and sent someone to Liu Yu to say: "Liu Jingxuan did not participate in the righteous deeds of the Qin Dynasty, and only the meritorious ministers who quelled the chaos should discuss the rewards for their merits and deeds, and he should be a little behind." If you are thinking about the friendship of the past, you may wish to give him an official position such as a regular attendant. Granting the sheriff was already too generous, and it was simply appalling to hand over Jiangzhou to him. ”

After Liu Jingxuan heard this, he was even more panicked and uneasy, and he went to the table on his own to request dismissal. In order to appease Liu Yi's dissatisfaction, Liu Yu recalled Liu Jingxuan to be the history of Xuancheng City.

In April, Liu Yu returned to Jingkou Town. Subsequently, the imperial court changed him to the military of the sixteen prefectures such as the governor Of Jing and Si, and added the history of Yanzhou.

At this time, although the core figures such as Huan Xuan and Huan Zhen had been pacified, the Yu Party was still causing chaos everywhere.

In May, Huan Zhen's brother-in-law Guiyang Taishou (桂阳太守) and Sima Xiu (司馬秀), the Prince of Zhangwu, feared implication and rebelled against Sima Zhizhi (司馬轨), the assassin of Yizhou, and were soon put down.

At the same time, Huan Xuan's Yu Dang Huan Liang, Gong Hong, and others coerced the people and were also harassing the local counties and counties that were causing trouble, and Liu Yi, Liu Daogui, Tan Qi, and others led troops to suppress them, and the situation in Jing, Xiang, Jiang, and Yu was all peaceful.

As the former Prince of Qin, It is sad and lamentable that Gong Hong was reduced to the Huanxuan Rebellion Party.

Subsequently, the imperial court issued an edict, with Liu Yi as the military governor of Huainan and other five counties, yuzhou assassination history, and He Wuji as the military governor of the five counties of Jiangdong and the internal history of Huijian.

Soon, Liu Cai, the Assassin of Northern Qingzhou, also raised an army to rebel, colluding with Northern Wei as foreign aid, and Sun Quan, the Taishou of Qinghe and Yangping Counties, pulled up a team to respond.

In June, the Northern Wei Yu Prefecture assassin Shi Suoduzhen and the general Hu Silan took the opportunity to invade Xuzhou and besiege Pengcheng in solidarity with Liu Cai and Sun Quan.

Liu Yu sent his younger brothers Liu Daopi (劉道怜) and Donghai Taishou Menglongfu (東海太守孟龙符) to lead troops to the rescue, beheading Liu Cai and Sun Quan, and the Northern Wei army retreated in defeat.

In July, Liu Yu sent envoys to Later Qin to make peace and demanded the return of Nanxiang and several other counties.

Blatantly demanding land, where this is a peace talk, is clearly a provocation. Later Qin's ministers unanimously opposed it, but Yao Xing said, "All the good deeds under the heavens are the same. Liu Yu grew up from the most humble place at the bottom of society, killed Huan Xuan, revitalized the Jin Dynasty, rectified government affairs internally, and approved the territory externally. ”

As a result, Later Qin ceded the twelve counties of Nanxiang, Shunyang, Xinye, and Wuyin back to the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Twelve counties can be reclaimed in just a few words? Is there such a good thing under the heavens? Liu Yu couldn't believe his ears. He was first inexplicable, then ecstatic.

This incident greatly enhanced Liu Yu's prestige, not only in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but even Yao Xing gave him three points.
