Liu Chong

Liu Chong (~ 197), the xuansun of Liu Zhuang, emperor of the Han and Ming Dynasties, the great grandson of Liu Xian, king of Chen Jing, the grandson of Liu Chong, king of Chen Qing, the son of Liu Cheng, king of Chen Xiao, the sixth monarch of the state of Chen, and the last monarch of the state of Chen in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Liu Chong is brave, good at using bows and crossbows, and skillful in archery. After his father Liu Cheng died, he inherited the title of King Chen. During the period of Zhongping, the yellow scarf army revolted, and the officers and soldiers of counties abandoned the city and fled. Liu Chong recruited soldiers to guard himself. At that time, when the world was in famine, all the princes were no longer entitled to rent and taxes. Instead, they were robbed repeatedly, and some even fled and died in the wilderness. Only the state of Chen is still very rich and strong, and people from neighboring counties have come to take refuge in it. The state of Chen has more than 100000 people.

In the first year of Chuping (190), all prefectures and counties set up troops to fight against Dong Zhuo. Liu Chong led his troops to Yangxia and called himself the Assistant General of Han Dynasty. In the second year of Jian'an (197), Yuan Shu asked Chen for food and grass, but Luo Jun, the Prime Minister of Chen, refused. Yuan Shu was so angry that he sent Zhang Kai, an assassin, to kill Luo Jun and Liu Chong by pretending to pass by Chen.

Life of the characters

Emperor Lingdi's immunity

Liu Chong is the great grandson of Liu Zhuang, the emperor of the Han and Ming Dynasties, the great grandson of Liu Xian, the king of Chen Jing, the grandson of Liu Chong, the king of Chen Qing, and the son of Liu Cheng, the king of Chen Xiao. After his father Liu Cheng died, he inherited the title of King Chen.

In the second year of Xiping (173), the Prime Minister of the state of Chen moved to pursue Wei Min, the former Prime Minister of the state of Chen, and Liu Chong, the former Prime Minister of the state of Chen, to offer sacrifices to the gods together. They had an illegal attempt, which was a crime of treason. Officials sent envoys to investigate the case. At that time, Liu Honggang, emperor of the Han Dynasty, had just punished Liu Zhen, king of filial piety in Bohai, but he couldn't bear to punish him any more. So he ordered Wei Zhen and his teacher to be sent to the imperial prison of Beisi by the guard car. He sent the Chinese constant servant Wang Zhen to torture together with shangshuling and shiyushi. Wei Min said on the pretext that he was sacrificing to Huang Laojun together with Liu Chong for the sake of longevity, but he had no other intention. Wang Zhen and others said that Wei's duty was to rectify, but his behavior was not right. Shi Qian falsely accused his king of cheating him with immorality, so he killed all of them. However, Emperor Hanling issued an imperial edict to pardon Liu Chong without pursuing him.

Self defense in the management of troops

Liu Chong is very brave and good at using bow and crossbow. He can shoot ten shots at the same place.

During the period of Zhongping (184-189), the yellow scarf army revolted, and the officers and soldiers of counties abandoned the city and fled. At that time, Liu Chong had thousands of strong crossbows, so he recruited soldiers in the territory and stationed them in the capital pavilion to guard the state of Chen. Chen Guoren knew that Liu Chongshan was good at shooting, so they were afraid of him and did not dare to rebel. Luo Jun, the prime minister and Kuaiji man of the state of Chen, had always been very prestigious. At that time, when there was a famine in the world, the kings and Marquises of various feudal states no longer enjoyed the income of rent and taxes, but were constantly looted. Some of them could only have a meal in two days, and they fled and died in the wilderness. Only the state of Chen was still very rich and strong, and people from neighboring counties went to take refuge in it. Luo Jun gave all his money to help them, so that they could save their lives. Chen has more than 100000 members.

Yuan Shu's assassination

In the first year of Chuping (190), the States and counties set up troops to attack Dong Zhuo. Liu Chong led the army to garrison in Yangxia, claiming to be the Assistant General of Han Dynasty.

In the second year of Jian'an (197), Yuan Shu, who had been called emperor at that time, asked for food and grass from Chen state, but Luo Jun refused. Yuan Shu was very angry, so he sent Zhang Kai, who had fled to him for killing Cao Cao's father Cao song, as an assassin. He passed by Chen state for private affairs and killed Luo Jun and Liu Chong. Chen state declined from then on.
