The last three kingdoms

Chapter 565 Kill him for me
Wang Ji's father, Wang Hun, used to be the lieutenant of Yueqi. When Sima Wang came out to supervise Guanzhong, he appointed Wang Hun to guard Chencang. Later, Chencang fell and Wang Hun died for the country. He stayed by his side to serve.

Wang Ji was from Taiyuan, Bingzhou. At that time, Hu people moved inland, and Bingzhou was a place where Han and Hu lived together. Wang Ji easily got acquainted with Liu Yuan.

Liu Yuan is a descendant of Maodun Chanyu, the leader of the Xiongnu in the Western Han Dynasty.After Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, ruled the world and established the Han Dynasty, he marched on a large scale to destroy the Xiongnu, but the siege of Baideng made Liu Bang suffer a lot. He became brothers with Maodun Shanyu, so all descendants of Maodun Shanyu took Liu as their surname.

In the early years of Jianwu in the Eastern Han Dynasty, You Aodian, the son of Wuzhuliu Ruotan Shanyu, chased Wangbi and called himself Nandanyu, and settled in Meiji in Xihe. At that time, Zuoguo City in Lishi was the palace where Shanyu moved.During the Zhongping period, Qiangqu Shanyu sent his son Yu Fuluo to lead troops to assist the Eastern Han Dynasty and defeat the Yellow Turban Army.At that time, Qiangqu Shanyu was killed by the people of the country, so the soldiers led by Yu Fuluo stayed in the Eastern Han Dynasty and called himself Shanyu.Immediately after Dong Zhuo's rebellion, Yu Fuluo led his troops to plunder Taiyuan and Hedong, and then stationed in Hanoi.After Yu Fuluo's death, his younger brother Hu Chuquan succeeded to the throne and appointed Yu Fuluo's son Liu Bao as Zuoxian King. Liu Bao was Liu Yuan's father.Later, Cao Cao divided Huchuquan's soldiers into five divisions, appointed Liu Bao as the commander of the left division, and the rest of the division commanders also had the surname Liu.

This Liu Yuan was very smart when he was young. Although he was a barbarian, he was extremely proficient in the culture of the Han people. He not only studied the Four Books and Five Classics, but also liked the art of war.As a barbarian, Liu Yuan naturally inherited the family's good physique. Although Liu Yuan is only 17 years old this year, he is born with strong arms and a bear waist. He is eight feet six inches tall and is extremely burly.The beard is more than three feet long, and there are three red hairs on the heart, three feet six inches long.

In this era, anyone with a different appearance was highly valued. Sima Yan's long hair reached the ground and his hands were above his knees, so he was regarded by Pei Xiu as having the appearance of an emperor. This Liu Yuan was also highly valued. Cui Yizhi from Tunliu, Gong Shiyu from Xiangling, etc. were all good at looking at people. When they saw Liu Yuan, they were all very surprised, and they told each other: "This man has a very special appearance, which I have never seen before."

Therefore, Liu Yuan is quite famous in Bingzhou area. As a native of Taiyuan, Wang Hun naturally attaches great importance to Liu Yuan. His son Wang Ji was the same age as Liu Yuan, so Wang Hun ordered Wang Ji to befriend Liu Yuan. So although Wang Ji and Liu Yuan can't be said to be on good terms with each other, they can also be called a childhood friend, and the relationship between the two has always been very good.

Later, both Wang Ji and Liu Yuan left Bingzhou one after another. Wang Hun served as the captain of Yueqi, so Wang Ji naturally followed to Luoyang.Later, Liu Yuan also went to Luoyang, but Liu Yuan did not come to Luoyang to be an official. Because Liu Yuan's father, Liu Bao, was the commander of the left side of the Huns, he was sent to Luoyang as a hostage.

Therefore, when the Luoyang Incident happened, Liu Yuan happened to be in the Jin Palace. Seeing that Sima Yan didn't have any capable generals around him, Wang Ji recommended Liu Yuan to Sima Yan.

Liu Yuan was not only born with a powerful force, but also adept at bow and horse, proficient in all eighteen kinds of weapons, possessing the audacity and ferocity that a Hun should have.When Sima Yan heard this, he was very happy, and immediately sent someone to summon Liu Yuan up.

Not long after, Liu Yuan led a steed horse covered in burning coals to the gate of the palace, covered his heart with his hands, bent down to salute, and saluted Sima Yan with the standard etiquette of the Huns.

"I don't know why the son summoned the humble?"

Sima Yan said: "The Marquis of Wuyang intends to usurp the throne by taking advantage of King Jin's serious illness, and now he is leading his troops to besiege the palace of King Jin. He has heard that Mr. Liu is very brave, so he invites you to come, and hopes that you can help us to drive back the enemy. This son will definitely thank you very much."

Liu Yuan looked at the situation outside the palace, but he was very clear about it, but Liu Yuan is not the kind of person who has no brains. After a few flattering words, he can give his life to the other party. There must be a big thank you, that is not nonsense Well, after the matter is completed, if Sima Yan casually rewards a few hundred thousand yuan or an official with sesame seeds and mung beans, that is called a heavy thank you. In his eyes, it is absolutely impossible for him to take risks for such a small profit.

Liu Yuan Gu Zuo pondered and said: "The thieves outside the palace are very powerful, and they are humble and single-handed. I am afraid they will not be able to do it."

Why doesn't Sima Yan understand that Liu Yuan is bargaining? He also knows that he is not a subordinate of your Sima family in the first place, but is only temporarily living in the capital as a hostage. In fact, he has no obligation to help. Sima Yan now He also suffers from having no generals under his command, so he said: "No one in the world knows that Mr. Liu is brave enough to win the three armies, and even among ten thousand people, he can take the head of a general. This son now appoints Mr. Liu as the prefect of the Shangdang. If Mr. Liu can retreat from a strong enemy, This son still has a big reward."

The prefect is an official position of two thousand shi, which is the threshold of a high-ranking official. Generally, it is difficult to confer in person without seniority or merit. Sima Yan seems to be in a hurry. Not caring too much, he immediately made Liu Yuan the prefect of the Shangdang and asked him to lead troops into battle.

Liu Yuan's face showed joy. He is a Hun. If he hadn't made great achievements, it would be almost impossible for him to be a high-ranking official. It's no different from the pie falling from the sky. If he can help Sima Yan retreat, he may be able to climb to the top of the position. It is very possible to become a governor or a governor.At that moment Liu Yuan accepted the order gladly, took the 500 people allocated to him by Sima Yan and some of his followers, opened the palace gate, and killed them.

In the You army's formation, Zhao Zhuo had just beheaded He Gang, and the morale of the You army was greatly improved, but when the palace gate was opened wide, another army came out.The first general, riding a charcoal-like steed, wearing black armor and a black robe, wielded a shiny black steel spear in his hand, with great momentum and extraordinary spirit, shouting loudly in front of the battle.

Seeing the extraordinary appearance of the leader, Liu Yin didn't seem to be from the Central Plains, so he asked, "Who is this?"

Sima You knew Liu Yuan. He also suggested to Sima Zhao to kill Liu Yuan, thinking that Liu Yuan had different ambitions and would become a great enemy in the future, but Sima Zhao didn't listen.Immediately, Sima You said, "This man is Liu Yuan, the son of Liu Bao, the left commander of the Xiongnu. He is extremely brave. You must not underestimate the enemy."

Hearing this, Liu Yin's eyes blazed with coldness, and he ordered in a low voice: "Kill him at all costs!"
