"If you are not of my race, your heart will be different", which is the most in line with the "famous saying" of today's nationalists. Regardless of whether this statement is right or wrong, the object of this sentence in real history is not at all to live up to the "sinister intentions" of the speaker.
In the post-heroic era when the chaotic world of the Three Kingdoms was coming to an end, this Xiongnu retrograde who "had a different heart" dug a grave for the Western Jin Dynasty that unified the three kingdoms, and opened a prelude to a three-hundred-year chaotic world. This person's surname is Liu, the name Yuan, and Zi Yuanhai. His story begins with the southward march of the Huns.

The story of the Han and the Xiongnu falling in love and killing each other has moved to a new stage with the surrender of the Southern Xiongnu during the Eastern Han Dynasty. These Huns, who had fought against the Han Dynasty countless times, initially settled in the Hetao Plain around today's Baotou and Hohhot (this place was also called the Shule River hundreds of years later, which was the grassland where the wind blew the grassland to see cattle and sheep).

In order to strengthen their management and prevent them from continuing to contact their Xiongnu relatives in the north, the Eastern Han Emperor let them cross the Yellow River en masse south to Meiji County, Xihe County (the junction of the three provinces of Nei, Shaanxi, and Jin) at the junction of the present-day Yellow River. It can be said that the life of the Southern Xiongnu was also good or bad, and although the Xiongnu who came to the border of the Han Dynasty gained temporary security, the Han Dynasty Protector Zhonglang, who was responsible for taking care of (monitoring) them, often recruited them to go out to the north, and even forced them to die or assassinate Shan Yu without a word.
In such a well-to-do life, the Huns naturally did not feel at ease to herd sheep. For nearly two centuries, from the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms Era, the Xiongnu occasionally crossed the Yellow River in a southeasterly direction into Shanxi to fight the autumn wind. The Eastern Han army could stop the army, but it could not stop the endless stream of Xiongnu tribes from settling in Shanxi and planting land and herding sheep to engage in production together.
By the time of Liu Yuan's grandfather Yu Fuluo's generation, the Xiongnu had penetrated deep into the Fenshui River Valley in Shanxi and began to participate in the Great Chaos of the Three Kingdoms, and had a fight with Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others. In Liu Yuan's father Liu Bao's generation, Cao Cao's influence in the north grew, dividing the Xiongnu scattered in the Fenshui River Basin into five parts: left, center, right, south, and north. Liu Bao, who was originally the King of The Xiongnu Zuoxian, became the left marshal, of course, most of the other four were also the heads of Liu Bao's distant cousins. The Southern Xiongnu tribes, which were divided into five, seemed to be closely monitored by the Lao Cao family, but in fact they were still old irons with common blood, and from time to time they held meetings of various ministries to discuss the internal and foreign policies of the Huns.
With such a ruthless person as Cao Mengde suppressing, the Xiongnu of course did not dare to engage in any moths, but after the baptism of the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the warlord scuffle, the population of the Han people in the prefecture was sharply reduced after the unification of the north, and the Xiongnu who farmed and herded sheep quickly occupied the Han settlements where the people were few and far between. The Book of Jin records that the Xiongnu tribes "all live on the shores of the Fenjian Stream in Jinyang", and the entire Fenshui River Basin in Shanxi is active with the figure of the Xiongnu tribe, and the mixed residence of Hu and Han has become the norm in the land of the Three Jins.
It is said that once the Southern Xiongnu became the climate, this group of former proud sons of heaven was only a leader, and the heavy responsibility of creating this leader fell on Liu Bao's daughter-in-law Hu Yanshi, and at this time, Liu Bao was nearly a rare age, and it seemed a bit vain to want to create a son of prophecy.

At this moment, the legendary imperial aura descended, and a historically astonishing coincidence appeared!
In the same year (251 AD), when Sima Yi, who had laid the foundation for the Jin Dynasty, the Huyan clan of The Qizi at the Longmen Wu Temple suddenly saw a large fish with two horns swimming into the temple, and that night, the Huyan clan dreamed that the big fish turned into a human, gave her a large ball of light called "Rijing", and told him that "Fu Zhi Sheng Guizi". When Hu Yanshi told old Liu Bao's grandfather about this, Liu Bao said that it was an auspicious omen. Thirteen months later, Liu Yuan, the late baby, fell to the ground.
When we look back at the myth and strange time of this dog's blood, we can't help but ask: "Can this reason that the Huyan clan found for stealing people outside be so grandiose?" ”
This "son of miracles" (illegitimate son) Liu Yuan was genetically open from birth, and the study of literature could be done in "History", "Han", and "Zhuzi", all of which were comprehensive, and the study of martial arts could be wonderful to the public, and the ape arm was good at shooting, which was admired by the famous face-to-face people at that time" "This person's appearance is very, I have never seen it."
In his 20s, Liu Yuan, who was able to write and take martial arts, as a Xiongnu proton, was favored by Sima Yan, the emperor of the Jin Dynasty, in Luoyang. Sima Yan even twice wanted the young Liu Yuan to serve as a general in Eastern Wu and Liangzhou, and the degree of favor was evident. However, there were still old ministers like Kong Gong and Yang Jue in the imperial court who were very jealous of Liu Yuan's talents, and used the phrase "not my race, his heart must be different" to advise Emperor Sima Yan, and even intended to get rid of Liu Yuan. Fortunately, Wang Hun of Taiyuan, a fellow of the imperial government, and Li Xidingli, a member of the Shangdang, helped liu Yuan, the protagonist, to receive a box lunch without being in Luoyang.
Seeing that Luoyang could not stay, just when Liu Yuan's father's left marshal Liu Bao Liu Grandpa returned to the west (estimated to be 90 years old), the 29-year-old Liu Yuan took the opportunity to leave Luoyang, a place of right and wrong (Xianning five years, 279 years), and returned to his hometown to run his father's brother's business with peace of mind. In less than ten years, the five talents of the Xiongnu gathered under Liu Yuan, and Liu Yuan also won the support of the majority of xiongnu because of his superb social skills and management skills.
After Sima Yan's foolish son Emperor Hui of Jin ascended the throne (290), Yang Jun, a foreign relative of the auxiliary government, in order to win over the increasingly powerful Liu Yuan, made him the governor of five major capitals and made him the Marquis of Hanguang Township. In this way, the forty-year-old Liu Yuan's identity as the boss of the Xiongnu has been officially recognized, which can be described as a tiger. However, at this time, Liu Yuan was still waiting for an opportunity to rise.
The so-called Mandate of Heaven made people, when Sima Yan wanted Liu Yuan to be a general alone, but he left an opportunity for Liu Yuan to pick it up. At first, Sima Yan had twenty-seven kings with the same surname after pacifying the world, and made his idiot son emperor, obviously thinking that the life of the Western Jin Dynasty was too long. In the first year of Yuan Kang (291), Emperor Hui of Jin's daughter-in-law, Jia Hou, sent an edict ordering the King of Chu to enter the palace, which opened the prelude to the cannibalism of the Sima family brothers. Here the Sima family was killing each other, but Liu Yuan did not say a word and immersed himself in drilling his own acre and three points of land.
Another ten years had passed, and the Xiongnu boss Liu Yuan was more than half a hundred years old, and the opportunity that Sima Yan had left for him had finally come.
In the last year of Yongkang (300), Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu, guarded The City of Yicheng, intending to compete with the kings of Luoyang by virtue of the land of Hebei, so he sent Liu Yuan to be the general of Xingning Shuo and the military commander of the Five Departments, and came to Yecheng to join his shogunate. On this side, Liu Yuan entered Yecheng on the front foot, and the Xiongnu fathers and elders in their hometown in Shanxi could not wait.
As Liu Yuan's uncle, Liu Xuan, the King of Zuoxian, and the chiefs of various departments summed up, after the fall of the Han Dynasty, we Xiongnu people lived a worse day than a day, and now the Sima family is fratricidal, the sea is boiling, at this time do not get up to restore the cause of my great Xiongnu, what are we waiting for? As a result, the participants reached a surprising agreement in a cordial and friendly environment: anti-fucking!
When the central idea was settled, Liu Xuan immediately dispatched Hu Yanyou, the son of Liu Yuan's brother-in-law Hu Yanyi, to send a message, who knew that Sima Ying's side would not allow Liu Yuan to take personal leave. Therefore, Liu Yuan instructed Hu Yanyou to go back and tell the Five Xiongnu to prepare, and actively contact the Surrounding Hu people to wait for my news.
Four years later, Sima Ying's crisis came.
Although in the south Sima Ying defeated Sima Yue and controlled the idiot emperor in Yicheng, how could it be expected that Sima Yue's brother and the assassin Shi Sima Teng and The Youzhou Assassin Shi Wang Jun rose up and killed the soldiers from the west and north, not to mention that Wang Jun's men also carried Xiao Yong's brave and fast Xianbei and Wuhuan cavalry.
Liu Yuan seized the opportunity to ask Sima Ying to "also say five parts, so as to go to the country in difficulty", intending to take the opportunity to slip away, Sima Ying hesitated, and wanted to take Liu Yuan back to Luoyang with him. At this time, Liu Yuanyizheng's words began to slip away: Your Highness, you absolutely cannot run, at this time, once you retreat and lose everything, the five large armies of the Xiongnu under my command will destroy Dongyi with two parts for His Highness, wang Jun, and the head of the two verticals can be hung in the sun. When Sima Ying heard this, his heart was filled with excitement: "Yes, General Liu quickly dispatched troops, and I am here waiting for Jun and me to break the enemy army." ”
Looking at Liu Yuan's galloping figure, Sima Ying secretly relaxed his heart.
Who knows, Liu Yuan's going is exactly in response to Kong Xun's words to Sima Yan, the Emperor of Jinwu:
"The dragon gets the clouds and rain, and the things in the non-compound pool are also."
