Chapter 534 Emperor Wu of Han: He rose up so fast that he saw the Xiongnu people praising him!
"So, Wang Mi, who was traveling with him, thought, 'Good heavens, what's the point of fighting now? Let's hurry back to base!' So he advised Liu Cong to retreat!"
"However, back then, you didn't dare go back to see the boss without achieving some results, especially since the battle had turned out this badly; Liu Cong simply didn't dare to retreat."
"But Liu Yuan had no objection to this, and in the end Liu Cong's army returned to its main camp, and the Western Jin emperor and his officials were temporarily safe."
"The Han-Zhao regime (Xiongnu Han), after besieging Luoyang twice, gained a lot of experience and thought, if they can't break Luoyang, can't they at least turn it into an isolated city? They might as well cut off Luoyang's supply lines to the surrounding areas!"
The Sima family: Garlic is ruthless!
Liu Yuan: As long as it catches mice, it's a good cat!
"So Wang Mi returned to his old ways, constantly sweeping through the areas surrounding Luoyang."
"Among them, the refugees in Yingchuan, Runan, Nanyang and other places, who had always been oppressed by the local powerful clans, saw that he was still there to support them. They used methods such as burning down cities and killing the prefect to show that they were involved in the rebellion!"
"At that time, being an official in the Western Jin Dynasty, especially a local governor, meant risking your life."
"Historical records show that during the period when Luoyang was isolated, many Western Jin officials died under the swords of Wang Mi and Shi Le."
"Social order has been completely disrupted, and the Western Jin Dynasty is on the verge of collapse. No one can take care of anyone else, and survival is extremely difficult."
After Lin Ke finished speaking, she couldn't help but recall those words from the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.
She would absolutely never think of those places in the Western Jin Dynasty!! They were filled with natural disasters, man-made calamities, and many inhumane acts—a complete dead end!
"Given the current situation, the Western Jin dynasty is in grave danger. The strategies employed by the Han-Zhao regime have proven effective. Luoyang is not only plagued by war but also by famine. Barring unforeseen circumstances, conquering it is only a matter of time."
"But as the saying goes, nothing goes wrong! No one expected that at the very moment when success or failure hinged on this, Emperor Liu Yuan of Han Zhao passed away. During the transition between the old and new powers, the operation in Luoyang was forced to a halt."
"Afterwards, Liu Yuan urgently appointed Liu He as crown prince and Liu Cong as grand marshal, etc., so that even if Liu Yuan passed away, he would have arrangements made."
"But in general, imagination is beautiful, but reality is harsh. Sima Yan was also like that, with a good grandson who would bring prosperity to three generations, but things don't always go as he wished."
"Liu Yuan eventually died in July 310, and his son Liu He ascended the throne. The Xiongnu then also picked up the bad habit of the Western Jin imperial family—internal strife."
"But it must be mentioned that Liu Yuan is indeed a pity. He was a Xiongnu man whose body was in the Jin Dynasty but whose heart was in the Han Dynasty. In his anti-Jin declaration, he even referred to the things that Emperor Wu of Han did when he attacked the Xiongnu as Emperor Xiaowu of Han expanding the territory and conquering the barbarians. Although he was a bit filial!"
"In that era of moral decay and degeneration, Liu Yuan was somewhat more benevolent than the other cruel and tyrannical rulers of the Hu people."
"It's a pity he started his rebellion too late. What if he hadn't wasted those years in the Western Jin Dynasty?"
People from other timelines were completely stunned. They knew he respected the Han Dynasty, but they never expected him to truly care about the Han Dynasty and even say such things!
Filial piety, so incredibly filial! If they remember correctly, Emperor Wu of Han was expanding the territory of their ancestors! He was attacking their ancestors!
Moreover, if the Xiongnu leader heard this, wouldn't he be furious? What a filial son and grandson! Hahaha!
Xiongnu: Our ancestors cherished you, but you've thrown them into the ditch!
