Sima Shangzhi sneered: "Lü Guang stayed in Liangzhou for ten years and did nothing. I really don't know what he did."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "The biggest things he did were two things. One was to defeat the Western Qin Dynasty and let the Western Qin leader Qifu Guoren return. In other words, the first king Qifu Guoren's younger brother surrendered to him and became a nominal vassal state. , the other thing was to put down Zhang Dayu, the eldest son of Zhang Tianxi, the last king of the former Liang Dynasty, which shattered the Zhang family's hope of restoration."
Sima Yao had never heard of such a thing and opened his eyes wide: "What, Zhang Tianxi's son?"
Liu Yu nodded: "Yes, Zhang Tianxi was defeated by the former Qin and was taken to Chang'an as an official. His son Zhang Dayu also went with him. During the Battle of Feishui, Zhang Tianxi returned to the Jin Dynasty, but he became a traitor to the former Qin. After Fu Jian returned to Chang'an, his officials searched for the relatives of these traitors and executed them. Because the Murong clan was the biggest target, Zhang Dayu luckily escaped the pursuit and ran back to Liangzhou to join his father's old army, Changshui Xiaowei Wang. Mu, this king was so resourceful and resourceful that he was known as the Zhuge of Liangzhou. The Zhang family had been in power in Liangzhou for another sixty years and was deeply popular among the people. Although Fu Jian implemented benevolent policies, when the current Qin Dynasty was in chaos and they were unable to protect themselves, many Liangzhou clans also I have a different mind."
"So Wang Mu and other wealthy families supported Zhang Dayu and defeated Liang Xi's expeditionary army many times. Later, Liang Xi was defeated by Lu Guang, and Lu Guang also received Fu Jian's order, asking him to pacify Zhang Dayu as soon as possible and then come to the rescue. Chang'an, the two armies began a tug-of-war. After several years of fighting, Zhang Dayu won the support of the locals in Liangzhou, but Lu Guang's troops were elite soldiers who had won a great victory in the Western Regions. They defeated the local snakes with strong force. In the end, Zhang Dayu Yu was still defeated and died. After Lü Guang unified Liangzhou, Fu Jian died at the hands of Yao Chang. Lü Guang mourned for Fu Jian and took charge of Liangzhou as a herdsman, becoming a major warlord in the separatist region."
"In the following years, Lu Guang eliminated the generals who were threats to his Lu family one by one, and began to prepare for usurping the throne and establishing himself on his own. In order to give military merit to the Lu family's descendants, he appointed his son Taiyuan Gong Lu Zuan and others as generals to conquer the country. After Zhang Dayu was pacified in Sifang, in the 13th year of Taiyuan, when he was still humble in the grassland, Lu Guang established himself as King of Three Rivers and King of Daliang. He formally established himself as the capital of Guzang and established the Houliang regime. His chief enemy , is the leader of Hexi Xianbei in the Hehuang area who was the first to launch an army after Feishui, and the Western Qin who begged the country to be benevolent."
Sima Yao nodded: "I know that the Western Qin Dynasty was the first to rebel. Their luck was also good. Before Fu Jian's crusade army arrived, Murong Chong and Yao Chang rebelled one after another. The troops of the former Qin Dynasty Quan was fighting hard in Guanzhong, while Mao Xing, the governor of Qinzhou next door, tried his best to enter Guanzhong and open up a channel to rescue Fu Jian, so he gave the weak Western Qin a chance to develop. When Mao Xing was defeated, he was overthrown by his subordinates. During the killing, Western Qin even seized a lot of Qinzhou's territory."
Liu Yu smiled and said: "Yes, but the land of Hehuang is vast and sparsely populated after all. The Western Qin soldiers and horses only have tens of thousands, and they have no sophisticated equipment and are weak. Although others do not attack them, Fu Jian's son-in-law , Yang Ding, the leader of the Yang family of the Di people in Qiuchi, found an opportunity to escape from Xiyan after the defeat of the former Qin Dynasty, returned to Qiuchi, and established himself as the king of heaven. This was regarded as a successful restoration of the small country of the Yang family in Qiuchi. Because they are very close to Western Qin, and they both feel that the other country is the weakest among the many nearby forces, so these two small countries fought continuously and fought fiercely."
"That's what happened last year. Hou Liang had just sent troops to attack the Western Qin and returned without victory. Western Qin faced the two powerful enemies from the east and west, the former Qin and Hou Liang, and was forced by Qiu Chi, a vassal state of the former Qin in the south. It had no choice but to He accepted the title of official from Fu Deng of the former Qin Dynasty and became a minister of the former Qin Dynasty. Shortly afterwards, the leader of the country, Qifu Guoren, fell off his horse and died while hunting. Because his eldest son, Qifu Gongfu, was young, everyone publicly recommended his younger brother, Qifu Guoren. Lord of the country, the Western Qin Dynasty, which has experienced two fierce battles, was immediately attacked again by the army led by Houliang Lu Zuan. This time, it was unable to resist and had no choice but to surrender."
"At this time in Houliang, because Lu Guang was old, the country was unstable and rebellions broke out. Lu Zuan had no intention of staying in the land of Western Qin for a long time, so he led his army back to quell the rebellion. Western Qin only maintained a nominal vassal. Now that Lu Guang is old, all the The princes are competing for the throne, and the prince Lu Shao is weak and incompetent and never leads the army. However, Lu Zuan has been in charge of the army for many years and is famous in the army, just like Murong Chui. Lu Guang can suppress the princes when he is alive, but he will be ordinary after his death. With the flash of swords and shadows, Houliang's demise is just around the corner."
Sima Shangzhi nodded: "Yes, as far as I know, when the Houliang army fought against the Western Qin, Lu Guang once killed Lu Guang's younger brother Lu Bao. Lu Guang was angry at the lack of protection around him and killed two of Lu Bao's men. Generals Juqu Luoqiu and Juqu Quzhu from the Juqu tribe of the Huns in northern Liangzhou were killed. The Juqu clan was a large tribe of Hu people in Liangzhou and had lived here for generations. The men in the tribe were all brave and good at fighting. These two generals His two nephews, Juqu Mengxun and Juqu Nancheng, fled back to their own tribes and raised their troops to rebel. They defeated Hou Liang's crusade many times and established Duan Ye, the prefect of Jiankang, in the north of Liangzhou. Establish the Northern Liang regime."
Sima Yao frowned: "Why is there also a Jiankang in Liangzhou?"
Liu Yu said seriously: "When Zhang Gui established Qianliang, he built Jiankang City in the north to show that he would not forget the old capital of the motherland. It also became an important town in the north of Liangzhou to appease and suppress the barbarians. Unexpectedly, these Huns eventually However, the Hu people colluded with Duan Ye, the governor of this place, and raised their troops to stand on their own."
Sima Shangzhi said: "Yes, after Lu Guang usurped the throne and established himself, he massacred his old comrades and made everyone in danger. Not only Duan Ye established himself on his own, but also important ministers in the court, casual knights and regular attendants, and Taichang Guo Mo also took the opportunity to raise troops. , and also kidnapped eight of Lu Guang's grandsons who were studying there as hostages. Lu Zuan, who originally went to pacify Beiliang, hurriedly withdrew because of changes in the rear. However, internal rebellions broke out in Houliang, all because of Lu Guang was jealous of the fact that he was fond of killing and used his troops indiscriminately. His prince was weak and his princes were in charge of the army. Everyone knew that there would be chaos after his death, so he took the opportunity to stand on his own. In addition to these two groups of rebels, the Tufa clan of Nanliang came from the Eastern Han Dynasty. In the beginning, they were fierce and violent rebels who rebelled against Wu Chang. They were also a group of forces in these troubled times. In this small Liangzhou alone, there are now four forces: Houliang, Beiliang, Nanliang, and Xiqin, plus the nominal Qiu Chi Yang Ding, who was affiliated to the former Qin Dynasty, but was actually independent, can be said to be a small demon in the temple, and Chi Qian is a bastard, and the fight was a raging war."
Sima Yao laughed and looked at Liu Yu: "So, Yao Chang asked Yao Xing not to worry about these barbarians, let them fight each other, and then subdue them when they are exhausted. It's really high. Then, our Dajin, can we deal with this? What are the barbarians in Liangzhou doing?"
