When Shi Le galloped through the Jianghuai, there were also some changes in the Western Jin Dynasty. The Western Jin Dynasty was controlled by Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, who felt that Luoyang was too close to Pingyang of the Han Zhao Liu clan and was not safe. I wanted to return from Luoyang to my fiefdom Donghai County, which is today's Tancheng in Shandong. If he left quietly like this, Sima Yue would feel very shameless, so he had to find an excuse, so Sima Yue used the excuse to go to crusade against Shi Le. In the first year of Guangxing, that is, in November of 311 AD, Sima Yue led his 40,000 soldiers from Luoyang through Xuchang to Xiangcheng.
Sima Yue left Luoyang with his front foot, and Gou Xi, the Qingzhou assassin of the Western Jin Dynasty, began to post a denunciation of Sima Yue. And Emperor Sima Chi of Jin Huai also has a great opinion on Sima Yue, at this moment the Jin army in Henan is fighting bloodily with the Han and Zhao armies, and Luoyang is always under the deterrence of the Huns. Sima Chi issued an edict to Gou Xi and asked Gou Xi to crusade against Sima Yue. Sima Yue was worried about this, and as a result, he died in Xiangcheng.
Although Sima Yue is dead, there is a large group of people who follow him, and tens of thousands of troops. Everyone elected Wang Yan as the commander and continued to lead the army eastward, intending to send Sima Yue's coffin to the East China Sea. This Wang Yan was born in the famous Langya Wang family, he is very handsome and talented, but this person's character is not very good. Even Shan Tao, one of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, commented on him after seeing him: "I don't know which old woman actually gave birth to such a son!" However, the one who misunderstands the common people in the world may not be this person. ”
After Shi Le heard about the situation of Sima Yue's gang, he led an army from Xuchang to chase Wang Yan and others who were walking. Wang Yan assigned the general Qian Duan to face Shi Le after the break, but the problem was that Shi Le was not easy to mess with. Qian Duan was not only defeated by Shile, but also killed in battle. Shile took advantage of the victory and continued the attack, and the Jin army suffered a major defeat. Shi Le divided his troops to surround and let the cavalry shoot at the Jin army, and the Jin army was defeated, and for a time the corpses were piled up, and countless casualties were inflicted. Commander Wang Yan and Sima Fan, King of Xiangyang, Sima Ji, King of Rencheng, Sima Xi, King of Xihe, Sima Xi, King of Liang, Sima Chao, King of Qi, Liu Wang, Secretary of the Ministry of Shangshu, Liu Qiao, Yuzhou Thorn Shi Liu Qiao, Taifu Changshi Yu Yi and other princes and nobles were all captured by Shi Lesheng.
Shi Le sat under the curtain with five or six people, and asked them about the past of the Jin Dynasty. Wang Yan, Sima Ji and others were afraid of being killed, and they had no shame at all, and rushed to answer Shi Le's questions. The only one who had a little backbone was Sima Fan, who rebuked Wang Yan and Sima Ji with a look on his face and said, "Today's matter, why is there any need to talk about it like this." ”
Shi Le was very surprised by Sima Fan's performance and admired him a little, but he still let people crush Sima Fan and Wang Yan to death with a wall. As for the others, Shile did not show kindness, and slaughtered them all like pigs. As for Sima Yue, who once caused trouble in the world, he was split into a coffin and burned his body.
In the second year of Guangxing, that is, in June 311 AD, the Yongjia Rebellion broke out in Luoyang, and Emperor Huai of the Western Jin Dynasty was captured. Although Shi Le also participated in the Yongjia Rebellion, he was very clever to attribute all the credit to Wang Mi and Liu Yao. He led the army to Xuchang to station, as a Hu man, Shi Le would never have such political wisdom, it must have been the idea given by the strategists around him.
After the Yongjia Rebellion, Shi Le still trampled on the dignity of the Sima family with his iron hooves. The following is Shiler's account of this period:
Shi Le attacked Guyang and killed the champion general Wang Zi.
Shi Le, in Yangxia to break through and capture Wang Zan alive, appointed Wang Zan as a Zhonglang.
Shi Le defeated and captured the general Gou Xi alive in Mengcheng, and appointed him as Zuo Sima.
Just as Shi Le continued to gallop on the land of the Jin Dynasty, there was a change within Han Zhao, which made Shi Le turn his gun and aim it at his old comrades. Please continue to watch the next episode of the series "Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms"!
