Chapter 76: The flames of war are set

"No, Sun En's uprising in 399 AD allowed Liu Yu to see an opportunity. Only chaos can bring opportunities. Then he decisively joined the army and became a subordinate of Liu Laozhi, the former general of the Beifu Army."

"However, because of the chaos led by Huan Xuan, Liu Lao was ordered to resist Huan. Seeing that the boss was about to be replaced, Liu Yu wisely chose to join Huan Xuan and use the temporary dormancy to tide over the crisis. And in the follow-up, Because of his outstanding military exploits, he joined the army as a middle soldier, the real power faction in the Beifu army."

"Under the continuous attack of the Beifu army, Sun En's uprising encountered setbacks. Even the boss, Sun En, died. After the boss died, the uprising will continue? Sun En's brother-in-law, Lu Xun, took over the banner and continued to lead the uprising."

"When Huan Xuan saw it, he was frightened. Wild fire can't kill it, but the spring breeze blows again. This is a truth that he has long understood. Then he sent Liu Yu to continue to suppress Lu Xun's uprising."

"Liu Yu is very capable in fighting, but he may not be very smart. He wiped out the Lu Xun uprising army in one go, which also made him lose the possibility of supporting the rebels. This war of "fighting will be a beacon" will directly make Liu Yu wait for it. The time came."

"Huan Xuan, who felt that the world was stable, began to settle accounts after the Autumn and kept squeezing out the old generals of the Beifu Army who were above the court, making everyone feel in danger. This group of people also gathered around Liu Yu and plotted a rebellion."

"When the crowd becomes your support and the army obeys your orders, then what you should do is follow the trend. Because you don't follow the trend, they will replace people."

"Liu Yu, who knows this well, has taken action and is ready to do it."

"In February 404 AD, Liu Yu left Jiankang City with more than 2 entourages under the pretext of hunting. When he reached Jingkou, he raised the flag of rebellion and wiped out the Huan Chu army stationed there, and was later elected by everyone as an anti-Huan Chu army. Alliance leader."

"As I said before, Liu Yu was born into a poor family and a low-level noble family. His life was very difficult when he was young. This birth made him have a common language with the common people at the bottom."

"In an era where classes are solidified and the family system is strict, a person who was born like me can lead everyone to a better life, of course it is attractive?"

"In this way, Liu Yu became the leader who appeared at the right time to lead everyone to fight the landlords. As for the landlords, it is the world controlled by this clan."

"When he saw Liu Yu rebelling, Huan Xuan was naturally panicked and immediately dispatched his troops to suppress the rebellion. But Huan Xuan, who loved playing and did not like to govern the country, only discovered when he dispatched his troops that his generals who could fight were actually They are all former Beifu Army generals, they rebelled, and I have no one to use?"

Cao Cao: Haha!Should!Deserve it!

Zhao Kuangyin: If you don’t treat others like this, how can they rebel?It deserves it!

Zhu Di: The emperor who plays with flowers almost doesn't have a brain.

"Liu Yu, who is good at fighting, has defeated Huanxuan's Wu Fuzhi, Huangfufu and others successively under the blessing of time, people and advantages. His own strength is also getting stronger and stronger in the continuous battle."

"Liu Yuneng, who was seized by the military and political power, went a step further. In 404 AD, Liu Yu invaded Jiankang, killed Huan Xuan, and restored Sima Dezong, a descendant of the Sima family, to continue to be Emperor An of Jin. This can be seen from this trend of deposing and establishing emperors. ,
Liu Yu was already the leading official at that time, the de facto ruler of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. "

Yang Jian: This status is matched by Liu Yu's style. Liu Yu, who has a world view, has a style different from that of the Eastern Jin Dynasty royal family.

Li Zhi: Compared with the arrogance and extravagance of the Eastern Jin Dynasty royal family, where all the officials indulged in power, Liu Yu was like a clean stream after he came to power.

Wei Zheng: It is true that the Sima family is not comparable to Huanxuan. They lead by example and restrain all the officials, so that the officials of the aristocratic families who sit in the court and talk about the way but do nothing, go away one by one, and boldly appoint the talented people from the poor families.

Liu Che: This approach is indeed unmatched by the previous dynasty. It knows how to balance rights.

"Eliminating waste and promoting new people gives the court a completely new look, reverses the situation that makes people careless about things, and makes them more powerful."

"After completing all this, Liu Yu also carried out land reform, prohibited wealthy families from annexing land, took care of the landless common people, used frivolous corvee services to reduce taxes, and reduced the burden on the common people, encouraged poor families to study, reformed talent selection, and broke the Eastern Jin Dynasty Solidified class mobility."

Qin Shihuang: This is the powerful gentry that emerged in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. It has not changed after several dynasties. Not to mention the Sima family, the Wei state also has the main component.

Liu Bei: It's not the bunch of cowards from the Sima family, but also the good princess and concubine chosen by Sima Yan.

"The release of this series of styles directly caused the deep-rooted clan system to gradually loosen in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and lost the constraints of clan clans. Countless people had the urge to fight hard, and it also gave ordinary people a chance to live."

Wu Zetian: The so-called hope is probably like this, right?

"The people have hope and their lives are full of vigor. Of course, the boss must also have ambitions!"

"As a descendant of the Queen of the Han Dynasty, Liu Yu was also obsessed with regaining his homeland. Moreover, the threat from the north was not small at that time. In order to regain his homeland, Liu Yu went on an expedition."

"Afterwards, the battle went smoothly! We directly defeated Nanyan."

"This glorious victory boosted the morale of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and made Liu Yu's reputation even higher."

"War makes the world successful. If that's the case, let's keep up the good work. Later, he destroyed small countries such as Qiao Shu and Qiu Chi, and recovered a large area of ​​land."

"Just when Liu Yu was fighting in all directions, the Eastern Jin royal family in the rear was also dishonest. Unwilling to be puppets, they began to grab soldiers and seize power. Among them, Sima Xiuzhi who occupied the rich and prosperous Jingzhou and Yangzhou was the most ambitious."

"But this man is not good at fighting! He took the initiative to deliver "food" to his door. When Liu Yu knew about the seizure of military power, he directly attacked Jingzhou and recovered two wealthy lands in one month. In order to save his life, Sima Xiuzhi He actually took refuge with Yao Xing, the King of the Later Qin Dynasty."

"The defeat of Sima Xiuzhi completely disintegrated the local separatist situation in the Eastern Jin Dynasty that emerged after the Huanxuan Rebellion. The Eastern Jin Dynasty returned to unity and expanded a lot of territory."

"This credit has allowed Liu Yu to go one step further. Not to mention the military and political power in the country, he also has the special treatment of "walking on the sword, not going to the court, and not being famous when he is praised."

"This kind of treatment is standard for powerful ministers, and it is only one step away from the emperor."

"So, does Liu Yu want to be the emperor? Of course he does after he has come this far, but he still has to wait for the right time."

"He felt that his merits were not high enough, but at that moment he was full of strategic determination. I have to say that Liu Yu really has endurance."

"The sober-minded Liu Yu was not fooled by his apparent honor and power. Even though Emperor Jin'an was just a rubber stamp and an imperial symbol, he was still close to being successful."
