The Power of the Three Kingdoms at the End of the Han Dynasty and the Imperial Power of the Han Dyna

Pengcheng State was changed to Pengcheng County. The county governor was first Liu Bei, then Lu Bu, then Chen Gong, and now Chen Zhen. In three years, there have been four personnel changes.

The princes of Pengcheng were divided into the marquis of one county, three townships, and ten pavilions. Liu Gong, the Prince of Pengcheng, was the son of Emperor Ming. When Emperor Suzong died, he left a will to transfer his title to the Prince of Pengcheng, and granted the food of Chu County. He returned to the throne that year.

The current King of Pengcheng is also called Liu He. During the Chuping period, the world was in chaos and He was attacked by the bandit Changwu. He fled to Dong'a and later returned to his country.

I'm back, but my home is almost gone.

When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. It's a blessing to be able to survive in troubled times. If the King of Zhenbei wants to take it, then let him take it.

The Liu family of Pengcheng is divided into two branches. One branch was the younger brother of Emperor Taizu of Han, Liu Jiao, who was granted the title of King of Chu. He was called the descendant of King Yuan of Chu. Liu Jiao gave birth to Liu Fu, the Marquis of Xiu. His descendants, Liu Xiang and Liu Xin, lived in Pengcheng in three villages: Congting, Suiyu and Anshangli. They passed down the "Lu Poetry" of King Yuan of Chu. Liu Jiao and Shen Gong and others studied under Fuqiu Bo, and their works were similar to Shen Gong's "Lu Poetry". Liu Xiang and his sons also passed down the "Zuo Zhuan" of the Liu family.

The most famous one is Liu Yu, the monarch of Liu Song in the Southern Dynasties. His courtesy name was Deyu and his nickname was Jinu. He was from Suiyu Village, Pengcheng County and was a descendant of Jiao, King Yuan of Chu, who was the younger brother of Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty.

From another branch, Emperor Xuan of Han, Liu Xun, appointed his son Liu Xiao as the King of Chu, known in history as King Xiao of Chu.

Emperor Xuan of Han granted Zixiao the title of King of Chu. He was King Xiao’s son. King Yan was born to King Yan, who gave birth to King Yu, who gave birth to Ban. From Xiao to Ban, they accumulated benevolence and righteousness, and were well-known for their integrity. Yu was especially kind and sincere. In the first year of Yongping, he was moved to Juchaohou. In the tenth year, he summoned (Liu) Ban to take charge of the Jinwu affairs. In the next year, he was also appointed as the Colonel of Tunqi. When Emperor Suzong ascended the throne, he was made the Shaofu of Changle. In the second year of Jianchu, he was transferred to Zongzheng. He took care of the nine clans and was particularly righteous, and was praised by people at that time.

Ban's son Liu Xian succeeded him. After Xian died, his son Liu Chong succeeded him.

Liu Kai, the elder brother of Xian, was also known as Boyu. In the sixth year of Yongchu, he replaced Zhang Min as Sikong. In the second year of Yuanchu, he replaced Xia Qin as Si Tu. During the reign of Emperor An, he was Taiwei.

Kai's youngest son Liu Mao, whose courtesy name was Shusheng, was also courteous and courteous. He served in various positions and was the Minister of Works during the reign of Emperor Huan.

It is said that Liu Jin, the governor of Le'an, resigned from his post and returned home when the world was in chaos.

(Liu Yu, son of Jin, and Liu Ne, son of Yu, courtesy name Lingyan, were from Pengcheng. They were one of the "Twenty-four Friends of Jin Gu" and uncle of Liu Kui, Yin of Danyang. They were good at judging people and were known as "the judge of human relations". They were selected as scholars and were promoted to the position of Sili Xiaowei.)
Chen Zhen was ordered to take over Pengcheng, and he used courtesy first and then force. The Liu family of Pengcheng would naturally not miss this opportunity to establish a good relationship with Liu Han. The situation was becoming clearer and clearer. As long as Liu Han did not go crazy, it would still be the Liu family that would seize the world. And facts had proved that as long as these descendants of the Liu family did not seek death, Liu Han would not kill them all. Therefore, they cooperated with Chen Zhen very much.

The Pengcheng Lvqiu clan is the descendant of the officials of the State of Zhu. Lvqiu was originally a town of Qi, but Qi, Lu and Zhu fought for it, so the Lvqiu clan was distributed in Qi and Lu.

This family is also a family with a heritage since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Luqiu Kuai, also known as Luqiuzi, was a native of Wei and a yin-yang scholar.

Lüqiu Qing, a native of the Western Han Dynasty, received etiquette from Meng Qing. Lüqiu Ban studied Yanshi Chunqiu. Lüqiu Gui, courtesy name Zhongjie, studied Xiaoxiahou Shangshu.

Seeing that the situation in Xuzhou was already decided, the Luqiu clan surrendered before Chen Zhen even showed up. They surrendered all the clan’s assets related to the new policy, leaving nothing behind, and donated the sea charts that they had treasured for many years. When Chen Zhen handed the sea charts to Liu Han, Liu Han was shocked, “Interesting! So interesting!”

The sea map submitted by Luqiu actually involved Xu Fu's eastward voyage. Although the map was very different from that of later generations, he still recognized that tiny country at a glance.

Just when you are dozing off, someone sends you a pillow. To unify the divided empire, you must expand outward, and tiny countries must be on your kill list. Now you have a route map.

"Tell Chen Zhen that I like the gift from the Luqiu family very much."

Liu Han's original idea was to take down the Three Kingdoms of Korea first and use them as a springboard to move south. Now there is another way. "Top secret, send a copy of the sea chart to Ziyi and ask him to draw a more detailed route map based on the sea chart."

"Yes, sir."
Guangling County, the previous governor of Guangling was Chen Deng. When Liu Han took over Guangling, it was impossible for him to let the local scholars of Xuzhou govern it. Moreover, Guangling was close to Yangzhou, and the Jiangdu ferry had to be under his own hands. Therefore, Liu Han chose Wang Ling, the 20-year-old only son of the Wang family of Qi County.

Wang Ling felt heavy-hearted when he received the appointment. This was a test from Liu Han and also a trust in him. Guangling not only had to restore people's livelihood, but also had to build a port, strengthen the army and prepare for marching south.

There are three branches of the Guangling Liu family, one of which is the descendant of King Jing of Guangling. Liu Bian, great-grandfather of King Jing of Guangling, served as the governor of Qinghe. Liu Yu, son of Bian, was also known as Jiji. He was fond of studying classics when he was young, and was especially good at divination, astronomy, and calendar calculation. Liu Wan, son of Yu, inherited Yu's teachings, was good at divination, and could write about disasters and anomalies. He was selected as a square official, but failed.

The second is the descendants of Guangling Li Wang Xu, who have been a famous family for generations. The four surnames of Guangling are descended from them. Liu Xu's sixth-generation grandson Liu Xu was the Minister of the Later Han Dynasty. Liu Guan was the prefect of Pingyang in Wei. Guan's son Liu Song, whose courtesy name was Ziya, was from the same county as the four surnames of Lei, Jiang, Gu, and Lu, all of which were descended from them. People at that time said, "Lei, Jiang, Gu, and Lu, Liu is the ancestor."

The third one is Liu Jingzong, a native of Guangling and the prefect of Shanyang in the State of Wei.

Guangling had suffered from the abuses of Zuo Rong, Lu Bu and Yuan Shu. Now that they had met Liu Han, they had finally found a wise leader. The three branches of the Liu family wept bitterly and expressed their willingness to take the lead in implementing the new policy.

"Who taught Wang Ling to do this?"

The three Lius presented a memorial to Liu Han, expressing their loyalty like crazy. Liu Han didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Now that the new policy was being implemented, the first people a new governor would visit were the local descendants of the Liu family (the Han royal family). Dong Cheng, Xin Ping, and Chen Zhen all used courtesy before force, while Wang Ling brought three thousand soldiers and knives to greet them, clearly showing that he didn't want to talk.

Everyone looked at Liu Han in silence. If we talk about the culprit for this trend in the army, it was Liu Han himself. It was he who greeted the Bingzhou gentry with a knife in the beginning. Later, it was passed on to Zhang He, Zhang Liao, Dian Wei... As long as they had been in the army, they did the same to the gentry.

Very efficient, but... very Liu Han.

The Chen family of Dongyang flourished in the Wei and Jin dynasties, with two dukes and one minister. Chen Jiao, courtesy name Jibi, was the Minister of the State of Wei and was granted the title of Marquis of Dongxiang.

The eldest son, Chen Ben, inherited the title of Marquis of Dongxiang. He had the talent of commanding and was well versed in literature and reason. He was promoted to General Zhenbei of Wei State and Commander-in-Chief of Hebei Military Affairs.

The second son, Chen Qian, whose courtesy name was Xiuyuan, served as the Grand Marshal of the Western Jin Dynasty and was granted the title of Duke of Gaoping County.

Grandson Chen Yu, courtesy name Xianchu, son of Chen Qian, inherited the title of Duke of Gaoping County, served as Minister of Agriculture and Governor of Henei. Great-grandson Chen Zhi, courtesy name Hongxian, son of Chen Yu, inherited the title, served as Palace Attendant. Chen Daozheng, mother of Emperor Xiao Daocheng of the Southern Qi Dynasty.

"Chen Jiao..." Chen Jiao's original surname was Liu, but he changed his surname to Chen because he was adopted by his mother's family. In his early years, he fled to Jiangdong to avoid the chaos. Later, Chen Deng, the governor of Guangling, asked him to be Gongcao. Cao Cao appointed him as a subordinate of the prime minister, and then he was transferred to Xiang County Magistrate, and then he was transferred to Zhengnan Changshi. He was also the governor of Pengcheng and Leling, and was transferred to the Western Commander of Weijun.

When Cao Cao went on an expedition to the east, he was appointed as the chief secretary of the prime minister, and later transferred to the position of the Western Cao and the Shangshu. When Cao Pi became emperor, Chen Jiao was in charge of the Ministry of Personnel, and was granted the title of Marquis of Gaolingting, and later moved to the position of Shangshu Ling. After Emperor Ming of Wei ascended the throne, he was promoted to the title of Marquis of Dongxiang, and later transferred to the position of Shizhong, and was given the title of Guanglu Dafu, and was later appointed as Situ.

Because Guangling was peacefully taken over, Chen Jiao had no time to flee southwards to avoid the chaos. "I am still short of an assistant officer. Transfer him over."

"Here."

The Dai family of Guangling moved south.

The Haixi Xu family, Xu Qiu and Liu Han can be said to have an old friendship. The two of them once joined forces to deal with the nephew of the Queen Mother, and he was also a tough nut to crack when Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor. Now that order has been restored, Liu Han asked him to stay in Xuzhou to help Xi Zhicai sort out the place.

Xu Xuan, Xu Qiu's son, was also transferred to Liu Han's side like Chen Jiao. (End of this chapter)
