When talking about Lu Fang, we have to start with the Huns.
A.D. 24In winter, Emperor Liu Xuan of the Xuanhan Dynasty entered Chang'an, and it seemed that the world was already in his pocket and diplomatic issues had to be considered. Therefore, Liu Xuan sent Zhonglang General (Royal Guard Commander) to Dehou Liu Sa and Da Sima Protector Chen Zun to envoy the Xiongnu, and issued the same seal letter to the then Shan Yu Luan Tiyu as the old system of the Han Dynasty, and by the way, Luan Tiyun and Xu Bu were sent back to the Xiongnu by the way.
Liu Xuan] When Wang Mang was in power, in order to show his contempt for the Xiongnu, he replaced the "Xiongnu Shan Yu Xi" awarded to the Xiongnu by the Western Han Dynasty with "New Xiongnu Shan Yu Zhang", and later changed the name of "Xiongnu Shan Yu" to "surrender slaves and submit to", which made the Xiongnu very annoyed. Luan Tiyun is Wang Zhaojun's daughter, during the Wang Mang Dynasty, Luan Tiyun and Xu Budang were detained by Wang Mang in Chang'an, and after Wang Mang died, these two also died. This time, in order to get closer to the Xiongnu, Liu Xuan exchanged the seal letter issued to the Xiongnu back to "Xiongnu Shan Yuxi", and the other was to send back the family, relatives, and subordinates of Luan Tiyun and his family.
Luan Tiyu didn't buy Xuan Han** very much, had an arrogant attitude, and said to Chen Zun and Liu Sa:
The Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty were originallyBrothersIn the past, there was a civil strife in the Xiongnu, and Emperor Xiaoxuan Liu Ai had helped to set up the Huhan evil single Yu, so the Xiongnu called the Han Dynasty a vassal. Now, the Han Dynasty was usurped by Wang Mang, and our Xiongnu also sent troops to beat Wang Mang, causing a commotion in the world, which made your Chinese people have the political effect of "thinking about Han". Therefore, Wang Mang failed and the Han Dynasty was revived, which was based on the strength of our XiongnuThe Han Dynasty should respect us Xiongnu as the boss
Chen Zun immediately retorted, and the two sides quarreled for a long time, of course, they each said their own things and broke up unhappily.
Soon, Luan Tiyu found a "strange goods", "strange goods" that "strange goods" can live.
During the Wang Mang Dynasty, there was a man named Lu Fang in Sanshui County, Anding County (east of Tongxin County, Ningxia), who lived in Zuogu (Sanshui County has Zuogu and Yougu), claiming that he was not actually surnamed Lu, but surnamed LiuThe "Liu" of Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty。He declared:
At the beginning, the Hun evil king returned to the Han Dynasty, the sister of the Hun evil king was set up as the queen by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, when dangdang gave birth to three sons, and then the Jiangchong rebellion (that is, the witch Gu disaster), the prince Liu was executed, the queen was sat down and died, the second son was called Ciqing, fled to Changling (near Xianyang, Shaanxi), the younger son was called Huiqing, fled to Zuogu. Later, the general Huo Guangli was the emperor (Huo Guangli was the third emperor, entrusted by Emperor Wu, and assisted Emperor Zhao Liu Fuling; After the death of Emperor Zhao, Huo Guang established two emperors, one was the deposed emperor Liu He, and the other was Emperor Xuan Liu Aiji), and planned to take Huiqing back to Chang'an. Hui Qing refused, so he settled in Zuogu, and gave birth to a son named Sun Qing, and Sun Qing gave birth to a son named Wenbo, which is me, I am the great-grandson of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty - Liu Wenbo is also.
Lu Fang preached his divine origin everywhere, and the more he preached it, he made it the same as the real thing, and became a big V in the stable area. In the last years of Wang Mang, the world was in turmoil, and Lu Fang and the Qiang and Hu people of the Sanshui subject country (immigration area) rebelled together.
In 121 BC, the Hun evil king led tens of thousands of people to surrender to the Han Dynasty and was placed in the northwest by Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Due to the surrender of the evil king, the Hexi Corridor was forever included in the Chinese territory and became the advance base for the expansion to the Western Regions.Later, Liu Xuan entered Chang'an and recruited Lu Fang as a cavalry lieutenant (cavalry director), and asked him to guard and pacify the area west of Anding County. After Liu Xuan's defeat, the heroes of the Sanshui region supported Lu Fang as the general and the king of Xiping. In order to consolidate his power, Lu Fang made peace with Xiqiang and Xiongnu. Luan Tiyu pondered, this is a good thing, Lu Fang is".Odd goods"One piece! The Han Dynasty regime was cut off by Wang Mang, and now, Wang Mang was destroyed, and the Liu family has signs of revival, since the Liu royal family has come to attach, I should be like Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty to support the Han Evil in the past, support Lu Fang, and let the Han Dynasty call me a minister!According to Lu Fang, Liu Che married the sister of the evil king and gave birth to three sons, including the crown prince Liu Ju, after Liu Ju died in the mutiny, the second Qing was established as the emperor by Huo Guang, and the third Huiqing did not return to Chang'an, but married a wife and had children in Anding County, and had his grandson Liu Wenbo. Counting, he is the great-grandson of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and he is already the same generation as Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, and he is a generation higher than Liu Xuan and Liu Xiu.
At that time, the queen was Wei Zifu, the sister of the general Wei Qing, and only gave birth to one son, the crown prince Liu Ju. As for the sister of the evil king, she gave birth to several sons, some died, some became emperors, and some ran away, whether it is true or false, let's listen to it first, and then analyze it at the end of the article.
After making up his mind, Luan Tiyu ordered King Lin to lead thousands of cavalry to welcome Lu Fang's brothers to the Xiongnu, set up Lu Fang as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and appointed Lu Fang's younger brother Lu Cheng as the Zhonglang general, so that they could lead the Xiongnu cavalry and be stationed in Anding County.
Since he is the emperor of the Han Dynasty, it is obviously not enough to have the support of the Xiongnu, and the Han people must recognize it before he can be worthy of the "Emperor of the Han Dynasty". Luan Tiyu began to look for a mass base for Lu Fang.
At the beginning, Li Xing and Suiyu, who were from Wuyuan (Baotou City, Inner Mongolia), Tian Sa, who were from Shuofang (on the south bank of the Yellow River in the north of Hangjin Banner, Inner Mongolia), and Shi Kun and Min Kan, who were from Daijun (Wei County, Hebei Province), raised troops and called themselves generals. Luan Tiyu sent envoys to make peace with Li Xing and others, and at the same time expressed his intention to send Lu Fang back to China to be emperor, and Li Xing and others agreed.
A.D. 29, Li Xing, Min Kan and others led the army to the Xiongnu court to meet Lu Fang. In December, Lu Fang and Li Xing entered the border fortress together, built the capital of Jiuyuan County (the county where Wuyuan County ** is located, Baotou City, Inner Mongolia), seized Wuyuan, Shuofang, Yunzhong (Tuoketuo County, Inner Mongolia), Dingxiang (Inner Mongolia and Lingel County), Yanmen (Youyu County, Shanxi Province) five counties, set up county guards, county orders, and cooperated with the Xiongnu army to invade the northern border areas.
30 A.D, Liu Xiu ordered Dehou Liu Sa to send an envoy to the Xiongnu to seek to restore the previous good relations. Luan Tiyu also sent envoys to Luoyang to report back, but the intrusion was the same.
Wuyuan Taishou Li Xing brothers. Shuo Fang was too shou Tian Sa and Yunzhong was too shou Qiao Hu was afraid and surrendered to the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Liu Xiu ordered them to stay in their original official positions.After that, until 36 A.D., the two sides fought and stopped, and won and lost each other.
A.D. 37, Lu Fang attacked Yunzhong and couldn't attack for a long time. Lu Fang's subordinates stayed behind in Jiuyuan with Yu, planning to coerce Lu Fang to surrender to the Eastern Han Dynasty. The news leaked, and Lu Fang fled into the Xiongnu region with more than a dozen guards. Sui Yu obtained all Lu Fang's men, and then rushed to Luoyang to surrender in person. Liu Xiu appointed Sui Yu as the Taishou of Wuyuan and engraved Hu Hou.
A.D. 39, Lu Fang, who fled to the Xiongnu, returned to the interior and lived in Gaoliu (the county where Daijun County ** is located, Yanggao County, Shanxi Province).
40 A.D, Lu Fang sent a messenger to Liu Xiu to ask for surrender, and Liu Xiu named Lu FangActing king, rewarded 20,000 horses of silk and satin, so that he could pacify the Xiongnu for the court and establish a harmonious relationship.
Liu Xiu] Lu Fang wrote to thank him and said:
Chen FangEntrusted with the remains of the first emperor, it was abandoned on the border, and the Han Dynasty was destroyed in the hands of Wang MangThis is the worry of the descendants of the Liu family, and they should rise up and punish them together, so I am connected to Qiangrong in the west and Xiongnu in the north。Shan Yu did not forget the old virtue (referring to the support of Emperor Xuan and Emperor Yuan to the Xiongnu), and the right to make me the emperor and rescue him. At that time, there were military revolutions everywhere, and there were grass kings everywhere, and it was not that I was greedy and coveted the throne. In my heart, I longed for the revival of the temple and the rebuilding of the community, so I have been arrogating the title of emperor for more than ten years, which is really a crime that deserves death! Your Majesty is virtuous and wise, commands the sages, submits to the sea, and benefits the distance. And because of the attachment(胏菦, that is, lung attached, referring to relatives), forgive my sins, show mercy, and make me the acting king, and make me guard the northern frontier. I will do my best to handle the relationship with the Xiongnu, guard the northern frontier, and live up to the grace of God. I would like to dedicate the jade seal of the Son of Heaven and look forward to the court to worship.
Liu Xiu replied with an edict, asking Lu Fang to come to the court in the first month of next year (41 years).
In winter, Lu Fang entered the court and arrived in Changping (south of Changping County, Beijing), Liu Xiu issued an edict to stop and come back to worship the next year (Liu Xiu asked Lu Fang to come to the Hajj in the first month of 41 AD, and in the winter of 40 AD, Lu Fang went to Changping, Liu Xiu issued an edict "Ling Chang Ming Sui", this Ming Sui should refer to the "Ming Sui" in 41 AD, that is, 42 AD). Lu Fang had no choice but to returnMelancholy and fear, betrayed again, and attacked each other with Min Kan, the prime minister of the feudal state, and fought for several months.
The Xiongnu sent hundreds of cavalry to welcome Lu Fang and his wife out of the fortress. After Lu Fang stayed in the Xiongnu for more than ten years, he fell ill and died.
