Xiaobian has written five or six articles about the characters of Cao Cao's group in the past few days, and today we will change our perspective to look at some of the remaining problems of Sun Ce's crusade against Eastern Wu. As we all know, Sun Ce first defeated Liu Sui's separatist forces in his crusade against the Jiangzuo region, and in the whole process also persuaded the famous general Tai Shi Ci to surrender.
My previous article has introduced Liu Sui's life, but the record of Liu Sui's son has not been mentioned, and since the life of Liu Rong has not yet been described, today I will take him as a clue to see the status of the heirs of Liu Sui, the relative of the Han Dynasty.
One: From Tao Qian at the beginning, he was insatiably greedy
Ji Rong was a native of Danyang, and in the years of great chaos in the eastern Han Dynasty, he gathered hundreds of troops and defected to Xuzhou Mutaoqian. At that time, Tao Qian recruited talents, although some people advised Tao Qian that he should accept it selectively, but Tao Qian made a mistake in the examination of the virtues of the defectors, resulting in people like Ji Rong also smoothly joining the force.
Rong
After Jing Rong led his troops to surrender, Tao Qian sent him to supervise the grain transportation situation in Guangling and Pengcheng, but after Jing Rong took over the task, he personally filled his pockets, and after gathering the grain handed over by the counties, he did not transport it to the designated place, but took it for himself. As we all know, grain is the foundation of the country (the same is true at the end of the Han Dynasty), and Doing so has wronged Tao Qian's painstaking efforts.
After taking possession of the grain transportation rights of the three counties of Taoqian, He planned to establish his own base in Xia Pi City, so He ordered the construction of Buddhist temples in the Xia Pi area, and also asked the people of Xia Pi to recite scriptures day and night, forcing monks and nuns from all over the country to relocate to Xia Pi City, as if The intention of Ji Rong to divide the city independently was revealed. Before the birthday of the Buddha, the hospitality expenses provided by Tsurugi on the side of the road had to be calculated in hundreds of millions, which was really a country within a country.
Soon after, Cao Cao's army attacked Tao Qian's troops, and the people in the Xuzhou area were in turmoil, and when He rong saw that the situation was not right, he led his soldiers and family members totaling more than 10,000 people, and more than 3,000 horses fled to the Guangling area. When Guangling Taishou heard that such a large number of people and horses had come here, he set up a banquet to entertain him, who expected to be in a wine banquet, saw the rich local products, so he then sneaked in and killed Guangling Taishou while toasting, and ordered his soldiers to burn and loot in the city. After that, he once again went south to surrender to Xue Li's troops.
People's greed is endless, and Xue Li was killed with the same trick when he entertained Jing Rong, and after Xue Rong annexed Xue Li's army, he took his soldiers and defected to Liu Xuan.
Soon after, Liu Xuan and Sun Ce were defeated and planned to defect to Liu Biao's forces.
I don't know whether Liu Xuan did not hear of Jing Rong's bad deeds or whether he intended to have other intentions, but actually ordered Zhu Rong to assist Zhu Hao, the governor of Yuzhang Commandery at that time (Liu Xuan supported Zhu Hao and Liu Biao supported Zhuge Xuan). Soon after, there was a gap between Liu Xuan and Liu Biao, and Liu Xuan asked Zhen Rong to lead his troops to attack Liu Biao. At this time, Xu Shao found Liu Xuan and told him that Zhen Rong never cared about what others said about him, but Zhu Hao was honest and easy to trust others, and you should let Zhu Hao be prepared as soon as possible. However, Liu Xuan did not take Xu Shao's advice, and soon after, Zhen Rong killed Zhu Hao by killing Xue Li and others.
Two: Ping Ding Zhen Rong, Liu Xuan was praised
After Jing Rong killed Zhu Hao, the forces supported by Liu Xuan were defeated, and Liu Xuan, who was embarrassed and angry, led his troops to attack Zhu Rong in a big way, but the first battle was lost. Liu Xuan did not give up, and regrouped his soldiers to attack the troops again, and finally defeated the troops of Jing Rong, who fled to the mountains with his troops, but was killed by the people in the mountains and the residents of Shanyue, and gave the first rank to Liu Rong.
Sun Ce
In the second year of Jian'an, "good man" Liu Xuan died of illness, ending his life.
Soon after, Sun Ce attacked Jiangxia, and when the Hui army passed through Yuzhang, he buried Liu Sui back to his hometown of Donglai County, and also treated Liu Sui's heirs well and protected them.
Wang Lang once left a letter to Sun Ce, on which he spoke highly of Liu Sui and his heirs, hoping to treat Liu Sui's family kindly.
After adopting Wang Lang's advice, Sun Ce treated Liu Xuan's heirs and other family members more courteously. Some people think that this is a manifestation of Sun Ce's efforts to win over the local warriors and appease the people because of Liu Xuan as a relative of the Han Dynasty. Some people believe that Sun Ce's kindness to the heirs of his former opponents was indeed caused by Liu Xuan's incorruptibility and prestige during his lifetime.
Three: Liu Ji entered the Shi, and his grandson Quan
Liu Xuan's eldest son was named Liu Ji (劉基), and the character Jingyu (敬舆) was written on the subject of public opinion. Liu Ji died when he was fourteen years old, and Liu Ji refused all help during the funeral, during which many people reached out to Liu Sui's family and were also rejected by Liu Ji.
According to the Book of Wu, Liu Ji chose to live in seclusion after losing his father and experienced many hardships. He was able to be optimistic about the encounters he had experienced, living with his brother, sleeping late and getting up early, and even his own wives and concubines rarely saw Liu Ji. Liu Ji maintained a stable family, several of his brothers regarded him as his father, Liu Ji did not make friends when he was in seclusion, and few idle people came to visit.
Liu Xuan
Originally, Liu Ji, a relative of the Han Dynasty, may have spent his whole life in seclusion, but after Sun Quan came to power, he once met Liu Ji.
Sun Quan thought that Liu Ji was quite handsome, and combined with his identity background and good character, Sun Quan was very optimistic about this Liu Ji, and soon after he made Liu Ji a general of the Hussars, Eastern Cao Tuan, and also made a lieutenant of Fuyi and a general of Jianzhong Lang.
After Sun Quan became king, Liu Ji was promoted to the rank of Grand Farmer. Once Sun Quan set up a banquet to invite the ministers to drink, at that time, the riding capital Yu Tuan was verbally offensive because he drank too much, Sun Quan had the intention of killing, and Sun Quan was very angry, and all the ministers were very afraid. Just when the ministers were panicking, only Liu Ji quickly hugged Sun Quan and pleaded for mercy, and Yu Tuan was exempted from punishment.
Another time, when Sun Quan was in the hot summer, he took a boat trip and set up a banquet on the boat, which happened to coincide with the thunderstorm, Sun Quan of course had a royal cover to cover the rain, and soon after he asked Liu Ji to cover it, and no one else received such a special honor.
Liu Ji was awarded the title of Langzhong Commandery (郎中令) through his outstanding work in the DPRK.
After Sun Quan became emperor, Liu Jiguan went to Guangluxun and exercised the function of managing Shangshu. Not long after, Liu Ji died at the age of forty-nine. After Liu Ji's death, Sun Quan ordered his son Sun Ba to marry Liu Ji's daughter-in-law, and gave Liu Ji's daughter another house, and Liu Ji's descendants would be rewarded all year round and enjoy the same courtesy as the four major families in Jiangdong. Liu Ji also had two younger brothers, Liu Shuo and Liu Shang, both of whom were given the title of Knight Lieutenant.
In summary, In history, It rong was defined as one of the powerful forces at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but this strong man was actually a pejorative meaning. He used public interests for personal gain, was insatiably greedy, and killed the officials of the imperial court in vain. He eventually joined Liu Xuan's camp, and after Liu Xuan was defeated by Sun Ce, he disagreed with Jing Rong's political views. Ji Rong also killed Zhu Hao, the Taishou sent by the imperial court, so Liu Rong and Zhen Rong met with the sword soldiers, and finally Ji Rong was finally defeated and killed.
After Liu Xuan's death, his former enemy Sun Ce attached great importance to him and ordered liu to be buried back in his hometown and to treat his heirs well.
Liu Ji's eldest son was Liu Ji, who was initially reclusive, but was appreciated by Sun Quan and received special courtesy. Some people say that the Sun family only wants to show the Han Room, and some people think that Liu Xuan's life's exploits should indeed continue to enjoy the honor.
