Chapter 521 Sima Ying: Do you think the chapter is effective?
Chapter 521 Sima Ying: Do you even have any authority?!
During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han
Upon hearing this, Liu Che spat out the mouthful of tea he had just drunk. He had never expected that his Liu family was involved in this!
This Liu Yuan is still a Xiongnu. If a large number of Xiongnu people are loyal to the Han Dynasty, then the Han Dynasty might consider giving him a beating. He should ask Wei Qing and Qu Bing to give him a lighter beating!
However, this young man has foresight; he sees that compared to the Sima family, their abilities are not on the same level!
At this moment, the ministers present saw their emperor frown, then relax, and then show a relieved expression, as if they had witnessed something extraordinary, and hesitated to say something.
Upon seeing this scene, Liu Che thought: ...Get out!
Liu Bei in another timeline was also dumbfounded when he heard about this development. Who would have thought that a young man of Xiongnu blood would be so devoted to the Han Dynasty!
At this moment, he had no idea that the shock Liu Yuan would bring him in the future would be far more than just this!
.......
"Liu Yuan's rise to power was inseparable from the War of the Eight Princes in the Western Jin Dynasty. After all, the princes of the Western Jin Dynasty killed each other indiscriminately. It seemed that overnight, they abandoned the responsibilities that those of the gentry or the royal family should have. It seemed that everyone only cared about whether they were the winners."
"It was at this time that the Western Jin court was greatly weakened, losing control over nomadic peoples such as the Xianbei and Xiongnu. To make matters worse, Sima Ying's military strength had been significantly reduced in previous confrontations."
Seeing this situation, Liu Yuan seized the opportunity to persuade Sima Ying to return and recruit warriors from the five Xiongnu tribes to fight against the Xianbei.
"Sima Ying didn't agree right away. Liu Yuan, in order to return to his hometown, tried his best to flatter him, saying things like, 'Wang Jun is just Wang Shen's illegitimate son. His father didn't even acknowledge him. How can he compare to you!'"
“His Highness is a proper prince, why would he be afraid of a mere Wang Jun…” Thus, Sima Ying, who had been fooled by Liu Yuan, waved his hand and immediately gave Liu Yuan an official position, sending him back to the five tribes of the Xiongnu, without giving any consideration to the consequences of the Hu people’s involvement in the civil war.
Xianbei: Xiongnu! Don't be so arrogant!
"How could someone who has lived under the watchful eyes of others for so long, now that he has regained his freedom, still be a caged bird? That's why Liu Yuan was immediately given the title of Great Chanyu as soon as he arrived at the Five Tribes of the Xiongnu."
Liu Yuan: Brother! Just tell me I'm here, will your words carry any weight?
"Not long after, Liu Yuan had amassed 50,000 troops and gathered them at Lishi Fortress. Meanwhile, Wang Jun's and Sima Ying's armies had already met on a narrow path."
"But the Hu people are skilled in battle. Sima Ying's troops had been weakened by the previous battles, so they were defeated in this battle. The imperial army either fled or died, and collapsed instantly."
"When the news reached Ye City, historical records state that Ye City was greatly shaken and all the officials began to flee. Sima Zhong, who could be considered a 'lonely ruler,' was led to escape by Sima Ying."
"At this moment, Sima Ying had no other thoughts but to escape. Even with the power of Jie Zhu behind him, he could not stop. At this time, he only had a few dozen people by his side."
"After Wang Jun's victory, he burned, killed, and looted the people in Ye City. Many people died. In short, there were too many wronged souls in this city to count."
"Whether you are a member of the gentry or a commoner, you can't escape being ravaged by Wang Jun and his gang. This is all thanks to the War of the Eight Princes caused by the Sima family, and Sima Yan, that great-brained (and stupid) idiot, came up with the idea of enfeoffing princes!!"
