Wei and Jin Cooks - Chapter 830

There was news from the North that Liu He, the new emperor of the Xiongnu, had escaped from the encirclement with his courtiers, and successfully reunited with Liu Cong. Both Chun and Zuti got time to recuperate.

Bei Gongjun even asked for orders to come back and deal with Shi Le.

Thinking that the situation in the north is still uncertain, and Mingyu is still in the enemy camp, Zhao Hanzhang did not let him come back, but let him stay in Jizhou. If the Xiongnu really broke out, they would simply take Jizhou as well.

Zhao Hanzhang is very ambitious. In the name of Emperor Jin, she has asked the kings everywhere to destroy the Xiongnu and save Emperor Jin. However, except for Jingzhou, few people in other states and counties have responded.

Zhao Ming wrote to her: “You are just the governor of Yuzhou. You order the world as the emperor, and your reputation is not right. The emperor was trapped in the Huns, and the prince passed away. As an important minister of the Jin Dynasty, you should establish a new crown prince for Jin.”

Zhao Hanzhang pressed this letter for a long time and did not reply until there were very few people who responded, and Director Wang used the name of King Langya to intimidate and lure Jiangdong and Jiangnan. There were gradually voices in Yangzhou and other places to elect King Langya as emperor, so Zhao Hanzhang replied to Zhao Ming, ” Do your best to find the direct blood relatives of the ancestors.”

When Zhao Ming received the letter, it was very close to the time for the counterattack. While replying to the letter, he wondered if he could receive the letter before the war. If not, it would be difficult to deliver the letter during the war.

Neither of them knew that the person they were looking for was in Ningling County not far from them.

There was a child in Yuan Li’s arms, followed by eight people, one of them also had a child in his hand, they hurriedly hid in a village, the two guards scattered and searched around, came back and said to Yuan Li: ” The village is empty, no one is there.”

Another person answered, “There’s nothing to eat.”

Xun Fan and Xun Zu, who were surrounded in the middle, were getting old, and they couldn’t help but sat on the ground after stopping, tired and embarrassed.

Yuan Li put down the child he was holding, and said with a calm face: “Look around again to see if there is a cellar.”

He took out a piece of pancake from his arms, broke it into two, and distributed it directly to the two children.

The others swallowed and looked away, leaving the two guards behind while the others went out to find food.

In fact, there are not many guards, except Yuan Li, there are only five people, two children, one is the nine-year-old King Yuzhang, and the other is the ten-year-old King Qin.

The two old men Xun Fan and Xun Zu are the uncle of King Qin, and there is another person… Yuan Li raised his head to look at the other party—Yan Ding.

Yan Ding was an old official in Yuzhou. After Zhao Hanzhang took office, he continued to use the former officials. He was called an old official in Yuzhou, which was in contrast to the new officials appointed and dismissed by Zhao Hanzhang himself.

At the beginning of the year, his mother died, and he wrote a letter to Zhao Hanzhang to resign, intending to return to his hometown to observe the funeral.

Zhao Hanzhang agreed, but I don’t know why he stayed in Mi County and didn’t leave. He even got involved with many good players. When Yuncheng fell, King Qin and King Yuzhang ran into a bunch of chaos, and fled together under the protection of the palace guards.

On the road, I happened to meet two uncles of King Qin, Xun Fan and Xun Zu.

The two of them led the two princes to run to Yuzhou. Halfway there, before they entered Yuzhou, they met Shi Wangbi, the former commander of Fujun, Shi Liuchou, and Li Xin, who were also fleeing.

Everyone ran together together.

Because there were people fleeing everywhere, their luggage was scattered, and they could not run fast with only two ox carts and two legs. They first heard that the emperor had been captured, and then they received the news that Gou Xi had surrendered to Shi Le.

After thinking about it, Liu Chou and others felt that the state of Jin was doomed at this point, and Zhao Hanzhang and his like would only resist for a few years, and Liu Yuan’s further fight would be part of the process of unifying the world.

So they took advantage of the fact that everyone was hungry and directly killed the guards and servants of the two princes, and wanted to take the two of them to surrender to Liu Cong.

The two old men Xun Fan and Xun Zu struggled to resist, and ran to Mi County with the two young princes in a panic. They happened to meet Yan Ding, who turned back and joined the ranks of protecting the two young princes.

As soon as he joined, he asked the team to go west to Chang’an, and expressed his willingness to escort.

His reason was, “Nowadays the Central Plains is raging with war, and there are rioting soldiers and refugees everywhere. King Qin and King Langya are very dangerous here. It is better to go west to Chang’an, where Fu Zhongshu is there. At that time, Fu Zhongshu can set up a platform to make the world stable. ”

But Xun Fan and Xun Group opposed it.

Mainly Xun Fan, he thinks that this place is not very far from Chen County, they don’t need to go to Chang’an at all, they go directly to Chen County to find Zhao Hanzhang’s people.

Yan Ding said solemnly: “I am an official of Yuzhou. I have watched Zhao Hanzhang with disobedience in recent years. Sending the two princes there at this time is not sending sheep to the tiger’s mouth? Absolutely not.”

But Xun Fan is over sixty years old, who hasn’t seen him at his age? He could see through Yan Ding with just one glance, besides, he had only met Zhao Hanzhang in Chaoshang not long ago.

He doesn’t know if Zhao Hanzhang has the heart of disobedience, but she respects the emperor more than Gou Xi, her heart is softer than Gou Xi, and she is more normal than the powerful ministers who control the government in the past, so even if she has this heart, she will now Do your best to protect the two princes.

Going to Chang’an, not only are there rebels and refugees on the road, the road is difficult, Chang’an is also westward, and it is difficult to command the world, so you should still go to Chen County.

Xun Fan insisted, but they were just a few old and young, and they were powerless to refuse.

Yan Ding carried them to Chang’an.

Yuan Li searched all the way and found them halfway. He and Yan Ding fought, and almost lost both. In the end, Xun Fan came forward to dissuade them, thinking that even if it was for the sake of the two young princes, they could not fight among themselves at this time.

Yuan Li joined the team and strongly demanded to go back to Chen County.

Before Yan Ding had time to object, they encountered a team from Shi Le. There were not many people, and they came out to search for food and grass. They happened to see this group of people who were not ordinary people.

During the scuffle, Yuan Li did not forget his purpose, and he fought and retreated in the direction of Chen County.

As a result, they went astray and fell into Ningling by accident. When Shi Le’s army captured Ningling, they dared not enter the city.

They have nothing to eat, so they can only grab it with the refugees.

After a while, the guards came back and brought back five pieces of wild taro, which were only a little bigger than a child’s fist, but they were very happy, “General, you are very lucky. There is a field of wild taro just behind the house, but unfortunately it was almost dug up.” Yes, I searched for a long time to find these five.”

Yuan Li nodded, motioning for him to light a fire and cook.

He went up to see the pale-faced King Yuzhang, respectfully comforting him: “Don’t worry, my lord, the Zhao family army has surrounded Ningling, we just need to be patient for a while before we can see the governor.”

“As long as you see the governor, you will be safe, and you can eat whatever you want.”

In Yuan Li’s opinion, the most suitable person to be the next emperor is King Yuzhang. He is the prince’s younger brother, younger than King Qin, and weak-tempered, so he is just right.
