Chapter 5209: Starting a business is difficult and many battles
This was the first time Liu Yu heard someone mention the past of Liu Laozhi's family, and he became interested because these experiences were kept strictly confidential by the Xie family in the past, including the experiences of Tian Luo, Gao Su and other first batch of veterans of the Beifu Army.
It was kept strictly confidential. It seemed that it was some inhumane secret. In fact, this was something he had wanted to know. Although it had been many years, Liu Jingxuan's initiative to mention it aroused Liu Yu's curiosity again.
Liu Yu said: "Ah Shou, who are your ancestors and where did they come from? How could your ancestors go south and then dominate the village?"
Liu Jingxuan sighed and said: "Although my family claims to be from Pengcheng, our great-grandfather has been serving as officials and generals in the north since our great-grandfather generation. My great-grandfather was once the governor of the local Beidi and the governor of Yanmen, and he also garrisoned these important northern towns.
Because he has been in contact with the barbarians for many years, he is proficient in bow and horse, which is different from others from the south."
"When it came to my great-grandfather's generation, during the Yongjia Rebellion, he led his army to fight against the Xiongnu rebels. He was defeated due to lack of troops, so he had to clean up the defeated army and move closer to Liu Kun in Jinyang. It was also at this time that he became
He joined Liu Kun's subordinates, and later together with the Xianbei people of the Tuoba tribe, he repeatedly attacked the Xiongnu, Han and Zhao armies, made many meritorious deeds, and became a famous general in the north."
Liu Yu nodded: "I see, I'm being disrespectful. It's just that almost all the generals under Liu Kun are unknown. I didn't expect that there would be such a brave general as Ling Zangzu. In fact, this is the reason. If Liu Kun really has no one, how can he do it?
How long have you been fighting against the barbarians in the north? But I don’t know why the names of these generals are not found in the annals of history?”
A hint of resentment flashed in Liu Jingxuan's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Because Liu Kun failed in the end and died himself, the records of Liu Kun's men were deliberately erased by the historians. Even those victories were only recorded.
It records the help of the Xianbei people, and my great-grandfather was in a special situation. At the end of the period, Liu Kun lost the foreign aid of the Tuoba tribe and could not persist. The defeat was inevitable. My great-grandfather once persuaded Liu Kun to abandon Jinyang and go south to break through to the Jin Dynasty. He was willing
He wanted to lead the way, but Liu Kun said that the imperial court appointed him as the prefect of Jinyang to preside over the northern military. Even if he died, he could not leave his post without authorization, so he asked my great-grandfather to escort Wen Qiao, a civil servant under his command, to the Jin Kingdom for help.
He himself broke out and went to the Xianbei Duan tribe in Youzhou to seek foreign aid."
Liu Yu sighed: "It's such a pity that Liu Kun was betrayed by the Xianbei leader of the Duan tribe and died in the hands of a villain. However, Wen Qiao broke through and came to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and finally returned to Jiangzhou as governor. This should be the result of Ling's great-grandfather
Take the credit."
Liu Jingxuan sighed: "Yes, it was a difficult journey, but my great-grandfather used his martial arts and wisdom, and even sometimes pretended to be a Hulu caravan to deceive the Hu people's searches, so he finally took Wen Qiao with him.
We arrived in the Eastern Jin Dynasty safely, but the Eastern Jin Dynasty was busy with internal fighting and did not think about the Northern Expedition to regain the lost territory. Only Zu Ti led the army to fight hard in the Yuzhou area of Henan Province, so my great-grandfather separated from Wen Qiao after he was sent to the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
He stayed in Yuzhou, under the command of General Zu, who promised him that he would send troops to meet Liu Kun as soon as possible, but before that, Henan needs to be pacified and the passage to Youzhou to rescue Liu Kun needs to be opened."
Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "What a pity. General Zu had almost pacified Henan at that time. If the Duan clan of Xianbei hadn't betrayed his trust and killed Liu Kun, then how could Shi Le be his opponent if the two of them echoed each other from the north to the south?"
Liu Jingxuan said bitterly: "Liu Kun thought that Duan Pishan was a good brother like Tuoba Yilu, but he didn't expect that this Xianbei leader with a reputation for strength was a villain who secretly colluded with Shi Le. After Liu Kun was killed, his subordinates also
As a result, people's hearts were divided, and in the end he was killed by Shi Le, which can be called retribution. Here in the south, when the situation was very good and he was about to go all out for the northern expedition to Hebei, Sima Rui sent people to seize the army. He was so worried and angry that he vomited blood and died. My great-grandfather
It was under such circumstances that he was discouraged by the Eastern Jin Dynasty, so he did not stay in Yuzhou to continue serving as an officer. Instead, he led his troops to go between the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers, first in Huainan, and later to Black Tiger Village in northern Huaibei."
Liu Yu was a little surprised and said: "Since you can settle down in Huainan, why go to Huaibei? It's close to the territory of the Hu people and it's not safe."
Liu Jingxuan sighed: "Isn't it because of the civil war in Jin Dynasty later? After Zu Ti's death, most of his subordinates were unwilling to be absorbed by the emperor and the noble families like my father, so they left on their own, while a small number of people followed Zu Yue
, continued to stand on their own in Yuzhou under the banner of the imperial court. Things were peaceful for a while, but the Sima royal family and the aristocratic family tried to make a living after one failed plan. After Wang Dun's rebellion, they actually decided to move to another country.
Su Jun, the refugee commander, asked him to hand over his military power and troops."
Liu Yu shook his head helplessly and said: "After hearing this history, I don't know how these people's brains grow. They have no strength in their hands, but they want to seize the troops of the Beifu Army, which is the most powerful in the world. They are really crazy.
It's just that Su Jun is not a loyal minister like General Zu Ti. He rebelled directly. He almost broke into Jiankang and destroyed the Jin Kingdom of the Sima family. If it weren't for the Wen Qiao whom your great-grandfather escorted back, who led Jiang
The state soldiers and horses returned to the rescue, and they joined forces with Tao Kan, whom he was originally guarding against, to rescue Jiankang. I'm afraid the Jin Kingdom would have perished long ago."
Speaking of this, Liu Yu laughed: "I think back then, after Wang Dun's rebellion, Tao Kan took over as the governor of Jingzhou. Everyone in the world thought that Tao Kan would be a figure like Wang Dun. He would cause chaos in Jingzhou and build a prosperous country, so he asked Wen Qiao to
When we left Zhenjiang Prefecture, we were on guard against Tao Kan. At that time, Wen Qiao also claimed that Tao Kan would not be allowed to cross the Thunder Pond. However, a hundred years later, we are now facing a decisive battle with the demon thief in the Thunder Pond. It is really a trick of fate."
Liu Jingxuan nodded and said: "Yes, Su Jun and Zu Yue's troops, who were originally used to defend the capital and advance to the Northern Expedition, were actually forced to rebel and killed the rebels. Tao, who was originally guarding the rebels,
Kan, he became a loyal minister. My great-grandfather was completely disappointed with the internal struggle for power within the Jin State and had no intention of the Northern Expedition. In addition, he saw that as a refugee commander, he might be implicated in Su Jun's rebellion, or at least seize the army.
Therefore, although he sided with the imperial court during the civil war and was not won over by Su Jun, he still offered to leave Huainan and go to the Huaibei border to guard the border, which was also a move to reassure the imperial court."
"So the imperial court gave him a false title as a conquest general, and was happy to keep him away. From then on, my great-grandfather settled in the Black Tiger Village in Huaibei, with thousands of subordinates, and occupied the mountain as king." (End of this chapter)
