Eight Hills in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

In the first year of Yixi, (405 AD), Yizhou, Chengdu, Yizhou Cishifu.

A forty-year-old, capable, black and thin man, dressed in a purple official gown that is unique to Cishi, with a smile on his face, pointed to a paper edict in his hand, and said to the civil and military officials in the hall of the mansion: "Everyone From today onwards, everything will be able to set things right and return to the right track. This time the imperial court is not only conferring the official positions of the generals of Zhengxi, Sanqi Changshi, Duduyi, Liang, Qin, Liang, and Ning Zhou, but also It is to inform us that this year’s reign was changed from the tycoon of the pseudo-Chu to the first year of Yixi, to commemorate the success of Jingkou’s establishment of righteousness and the feat of overthrowing the rebel Huanxuan. Everyone, our civil and military in Shu have always been great Jin’s loyal ministers, even when the pseudo-Chu gained power for a while, still adhered to the feast of Da Jin’s courtiers and did not bow to him. This edict is a reward for our loyalty."

The person who said this is the current governor of Yizhou, Mao Zhu is also Liu Yu's long-time friend, the younger brother of the late Zitong prefect Mao Qiu. The son of Mao Muzhi, the famous general of the Mao family. The generals of the Mao family for generations, since the founding general Mao Bao, has played for the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He is a loyal and loyal school. When he was young, Mao Zang also participated in the Battle of Feishui with his brother and father. At that time, he served as Sima in Xie Yan's army and personally. Leading troops to pursue Fu Jian, scared the former Qin Tianwang to leave behind a rumbling idiom story.

After the war, he was appointed as Huainan internal history and later transferred to Yizhou governor after the war. Several of his brothers, from Maoqiu to Mao Jin, and Mao Yuan, also served in the western region of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Maoqiu Once served as the governor of Liangzhou and the prefect of Zitong, he died in office, while Mao Jin was the captain of Xiyi and controlled the soldiers and horses of the Shu area. As for Maoyuan, he was the prefect of the Shu county. Another brother Mao Fan was the present. The governor of Ningzhou in Yunnan and Guizhou also died in office. When Huan Xuan was killed a while ago, it was Mao Youzhi, the son of Mao Fan. Ningzhou joined the army and helped his coffin to return to Jiankang. Only on the way did he have this surpassing power to kill Huan Xuan.

Sitting in the first place on the left, a middle-aged general in a uniform is the Xiyi school Wei Mao Jin. He is also the father of Mao Xiuzhi. He is very heroic. He smiled and said: "Second brother, this time our Mao family, but for the great Jin made great contributions, not only captured the Liangzhou dominated by the Huan family, but also Youzhi and Xiuzhi beheaded the great rebel Huanxuan. It should be said that Liu Yu and Liu Yi had great meritorious services, but this defeated the enemy. The great merit of the thief went to our Mao family, and this general in the west still feels unworthy of our merit."

A red-robed official sitting across from him, about thirty-five and sixty, with a white face and slightly fat, was Mao Jin's younger brother Mao Yuan, the current prefect of Shu County, and smiled: "Brother, do you want anything else? Liang? Is the state satisfied with you?"

Mao Jin smiled and waved his hand: "Liangzhou has been taken down by me personally anyway. This time it is also under the second brother's captain, which is equivalent to the territory of our Mao family. However, although we killed Huan Xuan , But didn’t take the opportunity to go further east, and it’s still a pity to take Jingzhou or some sites in Xiangzhou. Qiao joined the army, don’t you think?”

Sitting in a position next to Mao Jin, a thin and short man who is more than 40 years old is the current head of the Qiao clan, the Qiao clan in the middle of Shu. Qiao Zong is also a big family in the middle of Shu. Since Qiao Zhou, the famous minister of Qiao Zhou, he has been extremely influential in the local area. No matter how the regime changes in the middle of Shu, this family will always be the number one power in the local area. Even if it is Qiao Zong, it is now the number one official under the Mao brothers. From this arrangement You can get the proof.

Qiao Zong smiled slightly: "Shu Di and Jingzhou are too far apart, even if they are taken, they may not be able to control it. From my point of view, the governor has done a very good job this time. It is already a great contribution to the country by taking Liangzhou Hanzhong. It’s not a problem to return to the DPRK to serve as high-ranking officials in the future."

Mao Zhu waved his hand: "You can't say it like that. You can join the army. Although Huanxuan is dead, but the country has not settled down, Guangzhou was captured by the demon of the Heavenly Master Tao. That Lu Xun actually claimed to be the provincial governor of Guangzhou, Ping Nan General, what’s even more troublesome is that Huanzhen, the remnant of the Huan family, actually seized Jiangling City and held the emperor again. The edict of me, the general of the West, the governor of the five states, had to be issued by the King Wuling of Jiankang. As a courtier, how can you say that you are doing a good job at this time? You can't agree with you if you ask me to join the army."

Qiao Zong's expression changed, he quickly took off his official hat, put it next to him, and squatted his head to the ground: "Xiaguan made a mistake for a while. Please forgive me for the glitch history."

Mao Wei didn't look at him, and said solemnly: "I'll tell you again, our Mao family, who has always been Zhongliang for generations, came here as an official. We didn't want to be like some chaotic courtiers and thieves. We only wanted to focus on family interests and separate one side. Now that the world is a feudal town, and now Jiangling is lost, your majesty is still in the hands of the thieves. Of course, we must raise troops to rescue them. Today, we are calling you all to announce the appointment and removal orders of the imperial court. Announcing that it will prepare for the Eastern Expedition and capture Jiangling from now on."

Now even Mao Jin's expression changed slightly and said, "Second brother, we just used soldiers three months ago and fought hard to seize the land of Liangzhou. Now Liangzhou has not been consolidated, whether it is the Qiu Chi on one side or The post-Qin in the North Border Pass all looked at Liangzhou. In addition, in the past six months to conquer Liangzhou, they almost ran out of grain reserves and missed the harvest of grain for one year in Shuzhong. Many people complained. At this time, it is not appropriate. Promote soldiers again."

Mao Zhu gritted his teeth: "These difficulties ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ how can I not know? But compared with your majesty who is now in the hands of thieves and his life is worrying, what is it? Liangzhou, even if you give up, It’s not a big deal, you can retake it in the future, but if your majesty is gone, then I will be promoted and I will finally succeed in returning to the country. If the royal family is cut off, there will be a mess in the future."

Mao Yuan shook his head and said sternly: "Second brother, these things are handled by Liu Yi from the West Crusade, He Wuji and the others. Although Huan Zhen was lucky enough to counterattack Jiangling successfully, he was not strong enough and had no reputation, even Jingzhou. The old ministry will not obey him. The current situation in the middle of Shu can not withstand another labor expedition. If you really want to rescue your majesty, let the two generals, Shi Yanzu and Wen Chumao from Emperor Baidi, clean up the last eastward march. The defeated soldiers should just send troops again. The soldiers and horses in Liangzhou and Shu areas must not move."

Mao Zang's eyes were wide open, and he stood up suddenly, and said sharply: "Are you still from the Mao family? Our Mao family has been loyal for generations. Our grandfather died in the battle for the country. Both father and uncle have spent their lives for the country and died in their duties. Come on, now your Majesty is in trouble. We won’t save it. What are we doing here? Xiyi school Wei Mao Jin, I now order you to go back to Liangzhou immediately and lead 10,000 Liangzhou soldiers and horses to set off first. Yizhou joins the army to deceive, you are now Go back to recruit Ding Nan from all counties in Yizhou. Within half a month, I want you to reorganize 20,000 soldiers and horses and 500,000 stone rations. As a back-up for Liangzhou soldiers and horses, within one month, if the two armies cannot be under the city of Jiangling Meet the King Qin, engage in military law!"
