Oblique sun grass trees, ordinary alleys and strange, humane slaves once lived - Xin abandoned the disease
How many people know Liu Yu, a great general who swallows mountains and rivers, because of a poem by Xin Zhiyi. In just a few words of poetry, Xin Shuyi vividly described Liu Yu's life. In the chaotic Southern and Northern Dynasties, Liu Yu, who was constantly in war, starvation and death, door valves, and strict ranks, was worshipped by Xin Abandoned.
When we look through the history books, we see that he marched south to the North, killed decisively, unified the Southern Dynasty, and established the Liu Song Dynasty in the chaotic world of the Southern and Northern Dynasties. In fact, This Liu Yu, who cut 6 emperors and even hit Vietnam, was not favored by the goddess of luck, and everything he had was accumulated by him and licked the blood of the knife edge.
Relief of The Sinn
The first emperor Liu Yu killed was Huan Xuan of Huan Chu, who could be said to be his superior. Liu Yuchu joined the Army of Beifu and was in the same camp as Huan Xuan, but at that time Huan Xuan was not accustomed to Sima Daozi's power, so he and the Beifu Army raised troops to force Emperor An of Jin to take the throne and establish Huan Chu.
Later, Huan Xuan killed Liu Gaozhi, the leader of the Beifu army, and Liu Gaozhi had the grace of knowing Liu Yu, but Liu Yu judged the situation, sought advantages and avoided harm, and took Liu Jiaozhi's nephew He Wujie and the entire Beifu army to Huan Xuan's command, and the two were reused by Huan Xuan, but never gave up taking Huan Xuan's life.

Later, he conspired with others to kill Huan Xuan, along with the destruction of his short-lived dynasty, Huan Chu. The brilliance of Liu Yu's life will begin from this moment, relying on the Jin Dynasty and wealth left by Huan Xuan. He grasped the power of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, received the support of the Gate Valve family, and had an absolute right to speak in the Jin Dynasty.
He then welcomed back Emperor Sima Dezong of Jin'an, but not long after he killed him again, re-established his younger brother Sima Dewen as emperor, and used the young emperor to "blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes", at this time he was powerful and covered the sky with one hand. According to the "process" of seizing power, Sima Dewen ordered Zen to give the throne to Liu Yu, and the young emperor thought that he would be free later, but then Liu Yu still sent someone to smother him with a cotton quilt.

Liu Yu is no longer the Liu Jinu who was beaten because of gambling debts, he is bloodthirsty and cruel, step by step, and has been desperate for power.
Western Shu's Tan Zhong, Southern Yan's Murong Chao, and Later Qin's Yao Hong were all on Liu Yu's "death list". In Liu Yu's eyes, these dynasties and emperors were all stepping stones for him to unify the Central Plains, and no one could stop him, and he killed 6 emperors in a row, step by step to the peak of power.

The Wei and Jin Dynasties and the Southern and Northern Dynasties were chaotic, chaotic to the name of a country, used by several imperial courts, and only one name of "Liang" was divided into Former Liang, Northern Liang, Western Liang, Hou Liang, and Southern Liang. Dozens of countries, large and small. In this chaotic world, Liu Yu established the "Song" Dynasty, unified the south, and controlled half of the world. Moreover, without the Help of the Crouching Dragon phoenix chicks, how could the emperor who had risen from the grass like this not be praised by Xin Ren.

Some people say that Liu Yu's regime relies on the support of the Tuas clan and the door valve to succeed, which looks like a great dynasty, but in fact, only the door valve will fall apart if it is reversed. Is this really the case? Yes, Huan Xuan at that time was precisely because he shook the interests of the Gate Valve Clan and was unpopular, which accelerated the demise of Huan Chu. And Liu Yu, a lowly commoner, what ability does he have to get the approval of the Shangpin family?
First of all, a brief introduction to the door valve, the door valve is a special group of the southern and northern dynasties, the family group, monopoly of the career, in order to pass on the family glory. Family lineage was divided into three, six, and nine grades, and the system of being an official was also a nine-pin zhongzheng system. It is difficult for the lower class scholars or ordinary people to rise, and even if they rise, they will be looked down upon. For example, the great poet Zuo Si, even though his sister had entered the palace as a noble concubine, still did not enter the eyes of the Tuas clan.

It was in this environment that Liu Yu established the dynasty, and he understood the importance of this, so he pacified the door valve well and relied on force.
Liu Yu was not discovered by Liu Yu until he was about 40 years old in the Beifu Army. After Liu Yu defeated Sun En and defeated the rebel army, he established his prestige in the army and killed a bloody road in this chaotic world. But he was not a lucky man, at least in his lifelong conquest, there had been no heavenly favor and heavenly blessings, nor did he lie in the mountains to help him plan, and his exploits were all cut by him.
The war between Liu Yu and Huan Xuan
He doesn't like to kill, but he's not afraid of killing.
Huan Xuan had a chance to kill him in his heart, and he united with others to kill him, Western Shu, Southern Yan, and Later Qin, and the demise of each country was helpless, because it blocked his steps of unification.

Those lands opened up with blood were the beginning of his devouring of the tiger. During this period, there was no Wolong Fengchichi plan, it was Liu Yu and a few old guys, fighting straight to the point, no strategy, no strategist. If he had one or two Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi at that time, the unification of the Central Plains would be just around the corner.
But heaven did not give it to him, Yixi eight years, when Liu Yu was preparing for another Northern Expedition, his close comrade-in-arms and brother Liu Daogui died, only 43 years old; yixi thirteen years, another comrade-in-arms Liu Muzhi also died during the conquest of Qin, Jiankang was unguarded, Liu Yu hurriedly ended the Northern Expedition. The death of these two comrades-in-arms dealt Liu Yu a great blow and changed the historical pattern to a certain extent.
Liu Yu's sad things are not over, before Liu Yu joined the army, he had married a wife and had children, in order to survive, he left his hometown to join the army, rarely saw his wife and daughter. After he became powerful and powerful, Liu Yu received his wife Zang Aiqin and daughter Liu Xingdi, who had been at home for many years, and thought that the family would enjoy happiness and harmony and enjoy the glory and wealth, but within a few years, Zang Aiqin died of illness.
One by one, the people around him left him, and only he sat alone in the emperor's seat, after which he transported his wife's coffin to Jiankang to be buried with him, and built a temple for his wife. Since ancient times, no woman has set up a temple on her own, but Liu Yu has set a precedent for his wife, and I don't know if his wife is willing to exchange decades of waiting for such a special honor.
Temples built in the early Liu Song Dynasty
Liu Yu never became an empress again, and his daughter was named princess of Huiji County, which was beautiful, rich and stable, which showed his love and guilt for his only concubine, which was also the only thing he felt guilty about in his life - he could not take care of his wife and daughter.
In any case, Liu Yu claimed that the empress would end the chaos of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, pressing the pause button of the war, so that there was a temporary peace in the south, the economy could be restored, and the integration of the nationalities was indirectly promoted.

Moreover, he collected Chinese books along the way during the Northern Expedition, which promoted the development of Han culture and preserved the seeds of culture, and when the Liu Song Dynasty was established, there were already 60,000 classics collected.
Some people say that being an emperor is a lucky thing, but for the emperors of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, at least for Liu Yu, he should be grateful that he can see the sun the next day smoothly. After the establishment of the dynasty, Liu Yu began to worry about the heir, guard this hard-won jiangshan, and do everything himself, and strive to rule with great efforts, hoping that future generations could continue the dynasty, however, he was disappointed. In the Liu Song Dynasty, when the emperor was not so relaxed, full of killing opportunities, although Emperor Wen of Song inherited his father's business and created Yuan Jia Zhongxing, his descendants after that were absurd.

Usurping the throne by killing one's father, killing innocents indiscriminately, fratricidal, absurd, extravagant, typical examples can be found in the Liu Song Dynasty, and everyone has a miserable end, living a precarious life, and even some princes must be in other countries to survive. Within a few decades of this absurd rule, the chancellor Xiao Daocheng usurped the throne of the tyrant Liu Ziye and ended the Liu Song dynasty.
Posterity always regretted for Liu Yu, if Liu Yu did not die, would the Northern Expedition continue to unify the Central Plains and establish a unified dynasty in advance. Or if Liu Muzhi and Liu Daogui had not died early and watched over Jiankang for him, would it be possible for him to concentrate on the Northern Expedition and unify the Central Plains?
Liu Yu was never favored by heaven, history did not give him too much thought, and his health gradually deteriorated, and at the age of 60, his life came to an end. So whether he can unify or not, there is no answer.
