Liu Ji gathered the generals to discuss whether to attack Wang Chengzong. He said: the emperor knows that I resent Zhao, and now he orders me to attack him, so Zhao will be ready for me. Which is better, cutting or not? According to tan Zhong, Yan and Zhao are resentful, and the world knows nothing about them. Today, when the son attacked Zhao, the king sat in the armour of the whole Yan, and no one helped Yishui. This is exactly Lu people to Yan sell favor to Zhao, defeat loyal to, both sell also. It is the loyalty and righteousness of Yan Shi, who died in the private mouth of Zhao. He did not see the virtue in Zhao people, but the evil voice in the world. But you should be familiar with it! Liu Ji agreed and decided to go out to fight against Wang Chengzong. He ordered the army to go out after five days, and the latter would play favoritism!

Liu Liu, the eldest son of Liu Ji, was the deputy ambassador in charge of the affairs of Youzhou. His second son, Liu Zong, was the governor of Yingzhou and the commander of the camp. He led his troops to Raoyang. After Liu Ji was ill, the violent general manager Liu conspired with the judges Tang Hongshi and Kong Muguan Cheng Guobao in an attempt to usurp the throne. So he sent someone to pretend to be an envoy of the imperial court and yelled in the street, "the imperial court has removed the Deputy Ambassador as a governor because of the futility of the prime minister's stay." The next day, he sent someone to shout: "the vice ambassador's message has arrived in Taiyuan." A few days later, he sent someone to shout, "the festival has passed daizhou."

He pursued it for more than a thousand miles to Qingdu mountain and beheaded 20000 people. After that, he plundered Tan and Ji BEIBI, and led the army to meet Shiwei to break it.

Wang Chengzong rebelled and helped the generals to say, "the emperor knows that I resent Zhao, so he will order me to attack him. Zhao Qie is ready for me. What can I do?" Assistant General Tan Zhongyu urged me to attack Chengzong and said: "the emperor does not want me to attack Zhao, and Zhao is not prepared for Yan." To relieve anger, we should pay attention to it. As Zhao, if not equipment. A few days later, Xu Ji did not leave the imperial edict. Ji Shizhong was asked by Xie er. Zhong said: "Zhao Yi Lu was close to Yan from the outside, but he was really taboo from the inside; he was unique from the outside, but he was actually related to it from the inside. This is Zhao's painting, which says: "Yan relies on Zhao to strengthen himself. Although he is very resentful, he will not destroy Zhao, so he is not good enough." Since Zhao was unprepared for Yan, he told the emperor from the history that "Yan and Zhao have a long-standing feud. Today, Zhao is unprepared for Yan when he sees cutting. It is Yan who opposes Zhao." Therefore, we know that the emperor does not make the king attack Zhao, and Zhao is not prepared for Yan. " Ji said, "Ji An Chu?" He said: "today, the emperor zhuchengzong, and Yan Wuzu, who helped Yishui, are making Lu people sell kindness to Zhao and loyalty to the superior. It is the loyalty and friendship of the emperor. But in the name of Zhao, they can't see virtue to Zhao, and evil voices are noisy all over the world." Ji ran Zhi led the army with 70000 soldiers, decapitated thousands of troops, and then pulled out Raoyang and settled in Yingzhou. After attacking Anping for a long time, Ji ordered his second son to climb the mountain first with 8000 soldiers and pull out his city in the middle of Japan. He will be pardoned and ordered to enter the middle school.

When Ji came out, his eldest son, Xu, took care of his affairs. He always knew the soldiers and horses for his camp. Ji was very ill. He was always close to Zhang you, Cheng Guobao and Zhang Nei. He made people cheat him to come from the capital, saying, "the imperial court stayed in Yingzhou in front of Gongqian, and ordered the deputy ambassador to spend time on behalf of him." Tomorrow, Fu Shi Ren said, "the imperial edict festival will come to Taiyuan." He also made people go away and shout, "it's past generation." The army was shocked. He was angry and didn't know what to do. He killed dozens of generals and those who were good at Su Yu and Xu Hou. He was eager to catch up with Xu and took JueJie's elder brother Gao as his substitute. He was thirsty for elixir. He always made Tang Hongshi, an official of the Tang Dynasty, contain poison, drink and die. He was 54 years old. When he arrived in Zhuozhou, he was killed. It was a funeral and a gift to the grand master. His posthumous title was Zhuangwu.

The general traitor, especially treacherous, had poisoned his father, that is, he was in charge of military affairs. The imperial court did not know his traitors, so he ordered his descendants to be thrifty, granted the title of Duke of Chu, and went to Lei Jianxiao Sikong. Chengzong refused to accept the order again, and sent troops to take the military strength. According to the two ends of the army, he fed the troops privately. Xianzong Zhizhi showed his admiration outside, and entered into tongzhongshu to settle the affairs. And Wu Yuanji, Li shidaoping, Chengzong worry about death, Tian Hongzheng into Zhenzhou, total loss of support, fear, seek self-security. In addition, I saw that my father and brother were worshipped. They were dressed, fed and slaughtered for hundreds of people. They prayed day and night, while they were always resting in the ancestral hall for the time being, or they were lying in the house, often frightened and unable to sleep. In your old age, you will feel miserable. Please remove your hair and clothes.

Tan Zhongfu said: "the number of heaven and earth, together will leave, leave will be together. Hebei and the whole world are 60 years away, and the number of poor will be the same. In the past, Zhu Xi and xilie stood on their own, Zhao, Ji, Qi and Wei were kings, and the prefectures and states were soldiers. They looked down at each other. They were in danger, but they died of nothing. Since the Yuan Dynasty, Liu Bi, Li Kai, Tian Ji'an, Lu Congshi, Qi and Cai Zhiqiang, who were first in the city, or as a guest chaser, had their own opinions. Today's soldiers come from the north, and the people of Zhao have offered twelve cities, namely, de and Di, to help the Wei and Qi dynasties break through. However, Yan has no day's labor, and later generations have nothing to do with it? I'm worried for you. " For Shangshu was willing to accept the court's request, and he wanted to cut it into three parts; you, Zhuo and Ying were the government, and Zhang Hongjing was the government; Ying and mo were the government, and Lu Shimei was the government; Ping, Ji, GUI and Tan were the government, and Xue Pingzhi was the government. All the old generals recommended the dynasties.

In order to favor Hongjing, the prime ministers Cui Zhi and Du Yuanying attached great importance to his power. He also served as a minister and a governor of Tianping. Fu Tu Fu was also given the name of Dajue, which was listed as the Buddhist temple. Envoys were sent to celebrate the festival and seal it. When the total has since Kun Zhu, let Festival, seal, then dress Fu Tu clothes. Travel and Dingzhou, death.

At the beginning, he asked for a representative and offered 5000 horses. When the officials doubted his deceit, the emperor accepted them alone. He gave relief to Xue cunqing, who was in charge of the affairs, and gave his army a year old. If he could not save himself in his senior years, the officials asked him and gave him millet and silk. Therefore, the general manager went along with his loyalty, and the people in the army were not allowed to enter. He killed ten of the first schemers, and paid Zhang Gao for the festival. He went on his way at night. Later in the Ming Dynasty, he was known in the army.

The imperial edict was given to Taiwei. Zichu and his younger brother about to Chang'an 11 people, are promoted to governor of the state. Loyalty and protection always come to grief, but also death. Zhong, Jiang people, like soldiers, good at planning, gaijian man cloud.
