Eastern Jin Dynasty: My powerful father

Chapter 108 Setting up Shan Yutai
  Fu Jian finally evacuated Yanmen Pass, led his troops south, and returned to Jinyang.

Since they can't touch the Hetao Plain for the time being, they no longer need to contain Dai's army.

Fu Jian wanted to prevent Huan Xi and Tuoba Shiyiqian from competing for control of the Tiefu Xiongnu, and a conflict broke out.

After all, the Tiefu Xiongnu had previously surrendered to Dai, so how could Tuoba Shiyiqian watch it become attached to Huanxi.

Sure enough, just as Fu Jian left, Tuoba Shiyiqian, who had been pretending to be deaf and dumb and ignoring the invasion of the Tiefu Xiongnu, finally remembered his identity as the suzerain.

So he sent his nephew Liu Kuren to the Hetao Plain to question Liu Wuhuan why he wanted to surrender to the Jin Dynasty.

At this time, Huan Xi had not yet returned to class.

In order to celebrate the complete expulsion of the Di people from the Hetao area, the Jin and Hungarian forces held a grand bonfire party.

It happened that Liu Kuren came just when everyone was having a feast.

Facing Liu Kuren's questioning, Liu Wuhuan was in a dilemma.

Of course, he felt chilled by his father-in-law's behavior of not saving him, but this did not mean that he would break with Tuoba Shiyiqian. From then on, besides Fu Jian, he would have another big enemy out of thin air.

But Huan Xi just stood there silently, observing his attitude.

If his attitude becomes weak, he is afraid of making Huan Xi unhappy.

My attitude became tougher, but I was afraid of offending my father-in-law.

Just when Liu Wuhuan was in a dilemma, at the banquet, Princess Tuoba of Zuoxian, who had always been silent, suddenly slapped the table and said angrily:

"Liu Kuren! Is this how my father asked you to question my king?
  "Where were you when our couple was persecuted by the Fu family!

"If it hadn't been for Duke Huan's help, both of us would have been prisoners of the Fu family!"

How could Mrs. Tuoba not have any resentment towards her natal family?

She married the Tiefu Xiongnu at the age of fourteen, and it has been ten years now. The Tiefu Xiongnu has always been very respectful to the Dai state and has repeatedly paid tribute. However, when the Fu clan invaded and the Tiefu Xiongnu was about to be annihilated, it was Huan who Xi lends a helping hand.

Now that he had finally overcome the difficulties, his father actually sent someone to question his husband why he changed his ways and surrendered to the Jin Dynasty.

Tuoba almost laughed out of anger. She glared at Liu Kuren fiercely with her almond-shaped eyes:
  "You go back and tell your father that if you don't surrender to the Jin Dynasty, do you still expect to send troops on behalf of the country?"

Liu Kuren was not only Tuoba Shiyiqian's nephew, he also had another identity, and was also Liu Wuhuan's clan brother.

Thirty-three years ago, the Tiefu Xiongnu fought against the Dai Kingdom. Liu Wuhuan's father, Liu Hu, was defeated by Tuoba Shiyiqian's father, Tuoba Yulu, and his cousin Liu Lugu led his troops to surrender to the Dai Kingdom.

Tuoba Yulu married his daughter to Liu Lugu, and Liu Kuren was Liu Lugu's son.

The Tiefu Huns who followed Liu Lugu and surrendered to Tuoba Xianbei are today's Xianbei Dugu tribe.

Princess Zuoxian and Liu Kuren were also cousins, but what they said was so rude that Liu Kuren was so embarrassed that he had to say goodbye, hide his face and leave.

When Liu Wuhuan saw this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced at his wife gratefully. If she hadn't saved him today, this difficulty would have been difficult.

After all, if Liu Wuhuan had said these words, Tuoba Shiyiqian might have become angry and resentful.

But now that it was her daughter who was blaming her in public, Liu Wuhuan didn't believe that Tuoba Shiyiqian had the nerve to blame him.

After Liu Kuren left, Huan Xi put his hands on his hands and said with a smile:

"The princess's words were so inspiring and so powerful that she shamed the envoys of the country away. She is truly a hero among women."

Tuoba said modestly:

"I don't dare to be praised by Duke Huan. I am just a useless woman. I can't protect my family and the country when I'm on my horse. I can't support my husband and teach my children when I'm off my horse. I saw my mother-in-law making unreasonable troubles today. I just came out to protect my husband."

Liu Wuhuan was deeply moved when he heard this. He said:

"Today is a grand event. Why don't you, Princess, offer a toast to Duke Huan?"

It can be seen that Huan Xi's current reputation is not bad, at least Liu Wuhuan dared to ask his wife to toast him.

Unlike some time travellers, he was notorious in this regard. Not only did his father prevent him from hooking up with his little mother, but even his close cousin did not dare to let him take a look at Xina's beautiful concubine.

Tuoba listened to her husband's instructions, stood up, held a wine cup, and came to propose a toast to Huan Xi.

Huan Xi rarely drinks alcohol. After all, he can't quit sex. Could it be that he can't quit drinking too.

But I was happy today, so I made an exception and had a few drinks.

Late at night, Huan Xi once again rejected the Hun woman sent by Liu Wuhuan.

After coming to Tiefu Xiongnu, Liu Wuhuan offered him numerous Hun beauties, but Huan Xi rejected them all, which also made the Huns mistakenly think that he was not good at women, otherwise Liu Wuhuan would not have taken the initiative to let Tuoba become Huan Xi. Toast.

However, Huan Xi just looked down upon the status of those Huns women.

After the celebration banquet, it was time to say goodbye.

The next day, early in the morning, Huan Xi called Liu Wuhuan and Liu Yan to the commander's tent and talked about his arrangements for the Tiefu Xiongnu after he left.

That is to say, Liu Kuantou will lead one force and live in the Qiantao Plain, while Liu Wuhuan will lead his own force and live in the Houtao Plain.

As for the Xitao Plain, it was naturally controlled by Huan Xi according to the previous agreement.

Of course, Huan Xi also told the two of them that this was just his humble opinion. Whether they agreed or not depended on what their brothers wanted.

Not to mention whether Liu Wuhuan and Liu Yan could refuse, but Huan Xi's arrangement was not unacceptable.

For Liu Wuhuan, instead of keeping an ambitious brother like Liu Futou by his side, it would be better to divide some of his tribesmen and let him go to the Qiantao Plain, so that he could defend himself against the Fu clan's invasion.

After all, if Fu wants to attack the river trap, he must first attack the front trap and then attack the rear trap.

Seeing that Huan Xi had no intention of supporting him in power for the time being, Liu Yan was willing to take charge of his own affairs and develop on his own, without having to look at his brother's eyes and rely on others.

"I sincerely obey Duke Huan's order."

The two brothers responded in unison.

Huan Xi nodded slightly. At this moment, Quan Yi suddenly interrupted:
  "My lord, I have some ideas."

As he spoke, he looked at Liu Wuhuan and Liu Kuantou and said hesitantly:
  "I don't know whether I should say it or not."

Huan Xi raised his eyebrows slightly and said:
  "Quan Changshi might as well say it bluntly, there is nothing about me that King Zuo Xian and Yan Houtou cannot know."

Quan Yi then spoke:
  "As the saying goes, if the name is not correct, the words will not be correct. My lord, have you thought about the name under which you want to command the Xiongnu tribe on the Xitao grassland?"

Of course, Huanxi wanted not only the land in the Xitao Plain, but also the tribes on the Xitao Plain, as well as the Xiongnu archers and infantry belonging to the tribes in the Xitao Plain.

Never underestimate his thirst for population.

Liu Wuhuan and Liu Yan were mentally prepared for this. After all, Huan Xi had specifically gone to Jingzhou to ask for the population. How could he let them take away the Xiongnu tribe in the Xitao Plain. Huanxi muttered:
  "What Quan Zhangshi said is reasonable. I overlooked this point. I wonder if Quan Zhangshi has any good ideas?"

Liu Wuhuan and Liu Yan also set their sights on Quan Yi, wanting to see what good solution he could come up with.

Quan Yi said calmly:
  "I have the courage to ask my lord to set up a Shan Yu Tai in Yinchuan to govern the Xiongnu tribe!"

Huan Xi had previously mentioned to Liu Yan that he wanted to build a new Yinchuan city in the Xitao Plain.

Of course Quan Yi also knew about this.

Liu Wuhuan and Liu Yan were dumbfounded when they heard this, and Huan Xi was even furious.

He stood up angrily and punched Quan Yi in the face, knocking Quan Yi to the ground.

Huan Xi said angrily:

"I am a minister of the Jin Dynasty, how can I set up a Chanyu platform? I, Huanxi, would rather poke my own ears to become deaf than hear others call me the Great Chanyu!
  "Quan Yi! I always treat you well! Why do you say such things to frame me, Huan Xi, for injustice!
  "Tell me! Whose instructions were you given?"

After witnessing this good show, Liu Wuhuan and Liu Yan had to intercede for Quan Yi even if they felt like a mirror in their hearts.

Liu Wuhuan prayed:

"The Great Chanyu! What Mr. Quan said is not unreasonable. Even Ran Min's son Ran Yin can be canonized as the Great Chanyu. Duke Huan is a hero of the world. All the tribes in Guanlong and the Tiefu Xiongnu admire them. Why can't this title be added? !
  "Xiao Wang begs the eldest brother not to refuse!"

Liu Yantou also advised:

"Yes, the Great Chanyu! What Mr. Quan said is not his opinion alone. This is a matter that everyone expects. Who else can take up the position of the Great Chanyu, except Duke Huan!"

The two of them spoke loudly, as if they had not heard what Huan Xi said just now, and would rather poke their own ears to deafen them than hear these three words.

Of course, how could Huan Xi stab his own ear with a knife because of this? It was just talk, no one would take it seriously.

Seeing the Liu brothers begging hard, he sighed helplessly:
  "Alas! My father and I once swore to help protect the imperial family, why are you forcing me like this!"

Quan Yi got up from the ground. There was already a bruise on his left cheek, but at this time Quan Yi ignored the pain on his face and continued to speak treacherous words:

"My lord! Jin Zuo has declined, and the destiny of heaven cannot be violated! It is the long-cherished wish of all of us to assist the lord in pacifying the north, creating a prosperous age, and rebuilding merits. Why does my lord insist on being a loyal minister of the Jin Dynasty?

"What kind of virtue is the Sima clan? Now the mountains and rivers are broken and the north is sinking. This is the disaster caused by the Sima clan!
  "Even if my lord pacifies the world in the future and returns power to the Sima clan, who knows there won't be another Eight Kings Rebellion."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Huan Xi:
  "That's enough, don't say any more. I promise you that, but I told you in advance that I only set up a Chanyu platform to govern the Xiongnu tribe on the Xitao grassland. You must not call me the Great Chanyu!"

The Liu brothers were very happy and agreed:

"I will obey the orders of the Great Chanyu!"

Huan Xi was very unhappy. He complained that Liu Wuhuan and Liu Kuantou did not take his words seriously.

But he did not punish them for this. Instead, he magnanimously expressed that he would ask the court for the canonization of King Zuoxian for Liu Wuhuan and the canonization of King Youxian for Liu Kuantou.

Liu Wuhuan's previous Zuoxian king was granted the title of Later Zhao Shihu, and now he has returned to the Jin Dynasty, so naturally he is not counted.

The two brothers, one the wise king of the left and the other the wise king of the right, all obeyed Huan Xi, as if he, the great chanyu, was really like this.

Of course, Huan Xi himself would not call himself the Great Chanyu, but he could not control what others called him in private.

After all, it is better to defend the people's mouth than to defend the river.

Since then, the Tiefu Xiongnu have been divided into three, and Huanxi will also use the establishment of Shanyutai to legitimately govern the Xiongnu tribe on the Xitao Plain.

The so-called chanyutai is a unique product of the Hu-Han divide-and-rule policy during the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms period. It was first created by Liu Yuan, with his son Liu Cong as the great chanyu, who specialized in managing the Hu-Han divide-and-rule policy. He could not get rid of nomadism. Habitual barbarians.

In fact, the Great Chanyu is different from the former Xiongnu Chanyu. The Chanyu Tai can be regarded as the Shangshutai of the Hu people. The official position of the Great Chanyu is also equivalent to the Shangshu order specifically in charge of the Hu people.

Therefore, after Shi Le, the founding monarch of the Later Zhao Dynasty, became emperor, his son Shi Hong would be the Great Chanyu, and Shi Hu would be the Shangshu Ling, in charge of the people of Hu and Han.

After Shi Hu became emperor, his son Shi Xuan became the Great Chanyu.

Such examples include the previously mentioned Liu Cong, son of Liu Yuan, and Ran Yin, son of Ran Min.

Great Chanyu sounds prominent, but in fact it is not as sensitive as the title Chanyu. It is just an official position similar to Shangshu Ling.

Fu Jian, who retreated to Jinyang, was preparing to leave the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He did not dare to call himself emperor yet, and planned to call himself the King of Heaven for the time being. He was also preparing to set up a Chanyu platform to give himself the title of a great Chanyu.

After brothers Liu Wuhuan and Liu Yan left, Huan Xi looked at Quan Yi apologetically, stretched out his hand to gently touch the bruises on his face, and said with shame:
  "Zi Liang was wronged on my behalf again. Huan had no way to repay him, so he could only give me a thousand pieces of silk as an apology.

"If Ziliang thinks it's not enough, please give me a punch in return."

Quan Yi smiled nonchalantly and said:

"My lord, why don't you punch me again and give me an extra thousand bolts of cloth."

When Huan Xi heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said:

"Why bother with another punch? When we get back to Chang'an, I will order two thousand pieces of cloth to be sent to Ziliang's mansion!"

The two principals and ministers looked at each other and laughed.

Just when Huan Xi decided to establish a Shan Yutai, Ran Wei's Shan Yu Ran Yin's life was not easy.

Just as Huan Xi and Wang Meng concluded, Ran Min transferred the Hu people to his son. Those Hu people suffered a lot and had deep hatred, so it was not true that they were loyal.

When Ran Min led 100,000 infantry and cavalry to attack the state of Xiang, the surrendered Hu people took advantage of Ran Min's absence to launch a rebellion and captured Ran Yin and sent him to the state of Xiang.

Ran Yin was killed by Shi Zhi, the emperor of Shi Zhao.

Because of the turmoil in the rear, the morale of Ran Min's troops was unstable.

Shi Zhi also asked for 30,000 reinforcements from Qian Yan, as well as 38,000 cavalry under Yao Xiang's command. Together, they defeated Ran Min in Xiang State.

Ran Min fled back to Yecheng in embarrassment.

Important officials of the Ran Wei Dynasty include Zuopu She Liu Qi, Sikong Shi Pu, Shangshu Ling Xu Ji, Chariot General Hu Mu, Zhongshu Li Lin, Zhongshu Supervisor Lu Chen, Shaofu Wang Yu, Shangshu Liu Qin, Liu Xiu and others. , or he was killed when the Hu people rebelled, or he died in the battle of Xiangguo.

Last year, Ran Wei, who was said to be unprecedentedly prosperous in the Shi family, was also on the decline.

Ran Min regretted not listening to Wei Huan's words.

Wei Huan, who had his whole family wiped out by him before, was posthumously named the Great Situ. The monk Fa Rao who suggested Ran Min go to war, father and son, also had their bodies dismembered by Ran Min.
