Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 1024 The world is in chaos!
The first year of Pingxing.

November.

The Shile army occupied Julu County and Anping County.

In December, Shile's army defeated the imperial troops and occupied Handan and Yecheng successively. Guangping County and Wei County fell successively. Sizhou was shaken. Luoyang sent a message urgently, ordering the soldiers and horses in the world to be diligent.

In the same month, the king of Changsha defeated Xiangyang and occupied Nanyang. His troops were directed at Sizhou. The court was in a panic. Rumors spread in the capital. The king of Jin suppressed it and sent down the five ministers.

Pingxing two years.

In January, Shile pretended to attack Jidong, and King Jiangdu led his troops to flee to Qingzhou.

In February, Duke Gou Xi of Dongping County attacked Shi Le and won consecutive victories, conquering half of Wei County. However, Qingzhou was usurped by King Jiangdu, who named himself the governor of Qingzhou. Gou Xi had no choice but to retreat, and Shi Le took the opportunity to pursue him and was defeated.

At the end of the month, Shi Le sent out three routes to occupy Yangping County and Dunqiu County.

In April, the Xiongnu resurrected and their army went south to unify and merge the states. They occupied Pingyang and looked east of the river to Guanzhong.

In June, the king of Changsha raised an army to attack Sizhou and surrounded Luoyang.

In late June, because the king of Changsha had exhausted all the troops in Jingxiang and the defense was empty, the long-simmering refugee rebellion broke out. Ban Ru, the leader of the Yizhou refugees, and Jianfu, the Liangzhou exiles, caused chaos in Xiangzhou and ruined the two states.

In September, the king of Hejian ordered Zu Ti to go out and occupy the three eastern counties of Jizhou to fill the void left by the king of Jiangdu and stabilize the situation.

In October, the King of Jiangdu took the opportunity to send troops to capture Luoyang. He fought with the King of Changsha in the city and was defeated miserably. The return route was cut off by Gou Xi, so he could not escape the Huaihe River and took refuge in Xuzhou.

In November, King Jiangdu led his troops to surround the governor's office in Xuzhou, expelled Zhang Chu, occupied Xuzhou, and named himself the governor of Xuzhou. Later, his troops entered Qingzhou, but were defeated at the hands of Gou Xi, and were temporarily defeated.

Pingxing three years.

In January, the city of Luoyang was destroyed and the King of Jin died. The King of Changsha came to the dynasty and changed the Yuan Dynasty to Jianjia. This was the first year of Jianjia. He appointed Dazai, Grand Sima and General as his own, and Zhang Ying was still appointed as Shangshu Ling.

In early February, the king of Changsha secretly inquired about the plan to cut down the feudal vassal. The matter was not kept secret, but leaked.

In late February, King Liu Wei of Chu, King Liu Hui of Jiangdu, King Liu Bao of Huainan, and King Liu Sheng of Yingchuan raised troops under the name "Qing Jun Side" and combined an army of [-] to attack Luoyang.

In March, when the Huns were attacking the pass, they confronted the imperial troops at Hangu Pass. Guanzhong severed political orders from Luoyang. Liu Chang, Duke of Lueyang County, temporarily took charge of the affairs of Guanzhong. He was a good wife and liked gold and silver.

In May, Yang Mao, a Di man from Qiu Chi, searched and killed Zhang Guang, the governor of Liangzhou. He captured the city and captured the territory, raised his flag and rebelled. Liu Jian, the king of Liang, fled, and his life and death are unknown.

In July, Wang Mi's old general Cao Wei, who had faked his death, raised troops in Qingzhou, attacked Gou Xi and caused chaos in Qingzhou. King Liu Yi of Lu died, and Gou Xi, who was guarding Langya King Liu Gai, could not escape Xuzhou.

In August, the king of Jiangdu was worried about the loss of Xuzhou and hurriedly led his troops back to the city. The alliance of the five kings was broken and the siege of Luoyang was temporarily lifted. King Langya and Gou Xi left Xuzhou, fled to Yangzhou and entered Jiangzuo.

In September, the Xiongnu failed in their attack, so they withdrew.

In October, several counties in Jingxiang were lost. Ruban and others elected Du Tao, a native of Shu, as their leader. Du Tao named himself General Pingnan and Governor of Xiangzhou, occupied the land of Jingxiang and established himself.

The second year of Jianjia.

In January, the king of Changsha ordered Wang Dun, the governor of Yangzhou, and Tao Kan, the Jiangdong general, to go to Jingxiang to quell the rebellion. Wang Dun refused to comply, so Tao Kan led his troops out.

In March, Luoyang's troops marched south to Jingzhou, hoping to join Tao Kan's troops. King Chu, King Huainan, and King Yingchuan once again raised troops to besiege Luoyang.

In May, Yang Xiong in the middle of Shu separated a state and established a country. The country was named "Cheng" and its capital was Chengdu.

In the seventh month, the city of Luoyang was destroyed, the King of Changsha died, and the King of Chu entered Luoyang and served as Dazai and Sikong, with the King of Huainan as the Grand Sima, and the King of Yingchuan as the Shangshu Ling.

In September, Tao Kan fought with Du Tao and won consecutive battles. Du Tao asked to surrender. The king of Chu agreed and ordered him to enter the capital.

In October, the imperial court decreed that Deng Fei, the former prefect of Xuantu County, entered Pingzhou as the governor.In November, Du Tao disobeyed and rebelled, and Tao Kan attacked again.

Jianjia three years.

In January, the Xiongnu and Han Dynasties were in civil strife. Liu Cong, the leader of the Xiongnu kingdom, beheaded Shanyu Liu Yi in Yunzhong, taking over all his power, and the Xiongnu unified the Han Dynasty.

In March, Liu Yao, the king of Zhongshan of the Xiongnu, unified the six surnames of Rouran and the surrounding tribes, called them khans, and founded the northern Xiongnu.

In May, the Xiongnu and Han Kingdom sent troops to the north, taking advantage of the road to expand the territory, hoping to destroy Liu Yao.

In June, Goguryeo captured Xi'anping, and chaos broke out in Pingzhou. Deng Fei, the governor of Pingzhou, sent a letter to the court asking for help.

The court is discussing it.

……

Above the temple, there is solemnity and majesty.

Emperor Liu Dai was sitting on the dragon chair, his face expressionless, showing no trace of joy, anger, sorrow or joy. Compared with a few years ago, he looked like a young man, without his original out-of-the-box temperament, and looked much calmer.

Under the high rank, the ministers were divided into civil and military groups, listening to the debate among the leaders——

"Goguryeo, a small tribe on the frontier, dares to attack the imperial territory. It is really outrageous! Could it be that they have seen the rise of traitors in recent years and are coveting it? This cannot be done for long! I ask the emperor to send troops and horses to attack it. , otherwise Lelang and other counties will be cut off from the Central Plains! This is also an opportunity to rebuild the prestige of the imperial court!"

The man who spoke looked to be in his prime, with a strong physique. He was none other than King Liu Wei of Chu.

"That's wrong." Before the emperor could reply, there was a powerful voice. It was Liu Bao, the king of Huainan. He was a great commander. He was supposed to be in charge of the army, but he did not want to use troops against the Northeast. "Everything must be done." Let’s talk about it first, let’s talk about other things. There are still many rebellions in the Central Plains that have not been quelled, especially Du Tao and his like in the south. They are even more vicious and threaten the stability of Jiangdong and cannot be left alone. There is also the Li thief in Shu who brazenly proclaimed himself emperor and is treasonous. , if it is not destroyed as soon as possible, how will the people of the world view the imperial court?"

The prince looked to be in his sixties, but he was already in high spirits, giving people a strong feeling.

Liu Wei, the king of Chu, shook his head and said: "These two are old thieves, so they cannot be taken lightly. They cannot be accomplished in one moment. However, they are just a small tribe in Goguryeo. They can be attacked quickly, kill their generals, imprison their heads, and send messages to all directions to frighten the surrounding areas. You can attack the heart." To put it bluntly, those two are powerful, and they can't beat them for the time being. Goguryeo looks easy to beat, so beat him first and show others, and build up momentum!
The king of Huainan said: "The small tribes on the fringes of Goguryeo and the barren land of the four counties of Lelang cannot make ends meet and cannot take out enough. Besides, the king's army is going on an expedition and the journey is far away. The enemy small tribes should not be careless. How can we win? Why not abandon them temporarily?" , when the Central Plains is pacified and taught by kings, Goguryeo will retreat and the four counties will return."

King Chu frowned, shook his head and said: "That's true, but in the past few years, the world has been in turmoil, with chaos in all directions. Only Youzhou and Pingzhou are stable, and grain, grass and money are sent every year. What if something happened there too?"

King Huainan also looked troubled when he heard this. When he thought about it, he seemed to be really confused.

"I have an idea, maybe we can get the best of both worlds." The young King Yingchuan stood up at this time. He is the brother of the current emperor. He looks the most heroic. He is now in charge of the chancery, and with the assistance of Zhang Ying, he is also quite powerful. Constructing a tree, gradually gaining prestige, once he stood up and said something, the eyes of all the officials were focused on it.

King Chu nodded lightly, without looking at the emperor, and said, "Then tell me what you think."

King Yingchuan then said calmly: "We only thought about using the imperial troops and horses to teach Goguryeo a lesson, but we forgot that there is another army in the north, which can be said to be strong. However, there has been no movement for several years, and no one thought about it for a while. "

"Besides the stone bandit soldiers and horses in the north, there is Zu Ti's army. However, the bandit soldiers are enemy bandits. The ancestor army is struggling to support them. Who else is there?" King Huainan frowned, and then he suddenly realized, "Ying Ying Could it be that what the King of Sichuan said was Chen Zhi, the general who conquered the north and the governor of Youzhou?"

"Chen Zhi?"

As soon as the name was uttered, discussions erupted in the entire hall, and seeing the appearance of the three clansmen, they couldn't help muttering to themselves, could it be that they were acting out just to mention this person?
This person is close to Jinshang and may not be easily transferred.

After thinking about it, everyone looked at the Nine-Five Emperor on the steps. Sure enough, they saw the silent emperor, who raised his head slightly with a look of surprise on his face.

"It is General Chen," King Yingchuan cupped his hands towards the emperor and continued, "General Zhengbei has been running Youzhou for some years. Four or five years ago, he frightened the grassland tribes. Although his reputation is not obvious these years, he should be He still has the fighting power to send his soldiers and horses to attack Goguryeo. Even if he cannot win a big victory, he can always punish him."

His words made the ministers discuss again. Compared with the court a few years ago, there are many new faces appearing in the court, but there are still old faces——

"This is inappropriate." Yu Liang, the imperial censor, stepped forward and asked the emperor for instructions. He then talked eloquently, "The Northern Army has had no results in recent years and we don't know its strength. How can we ignore the important task? If it falls, it will be bad. It is in the name of the imperial court, and Governor Chen has also sat in the position of Governor of Youzhou for too long without seeing any achievements. There are always hidden dangers. If it were in previous years, after the evaluation, it would be time to move. In such a situation, he would be allowed to lead the attack again. I'm afraid that there will be troubles, so it's better to send people to investigate and make a decision."

As soon as these words were said, there was a lot of discussion among civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty, and some people vaguely guessed the meaning of the three kings.
