The Western Jin Dynasty was a very dynasty in China's five thousand years of history, so most people only knew that there was such a dynasty, but they didn't know what happened to this dynasty. Why did such a dynasty that inherited the fierce heroic style of the Qin and Han Dynasties end the era of the Three Kingdoms and allowed the land of China to reunify so long. It took only fifty years from establishment to destruction.

It has thus become the weakest unified dynasty ever.

When talking about the Western Jin Dynasty, we have to mention Mr. Sima Yi.

This old man is a ruthless person, from a prominent family, and is young and has a talented talent in civil and martial arts. Xun Yu, the confidant minister of Boss Cao, admired him very much and took the initiative to recommend him to Boss Cao. From then on, Sima Yi and Boss Cao were involved. As for the invitations made in "Book of Jin", Sima Lang Gu said that he was sick, even said that he was paralyzed and could not be an official. He refused Boss Cao's invitation and everyone was fartful. You should know that when Boss Cao sent someone to ask Mr. Sima Lang and Mr. Gu to come out to do his job, the old man had just given birth to a son... Half-paralyzed can still have a baby? If this is true, Boss Cao would directly chop him up.

No matter what, Sima Langgu was always stumbling with Boss Cao. In the decades after that, under the guidance of Cao Wei's flag, he fought east and west, killed Meng Da, pacified Gongsun Yuan, fought against Zhuge Liang, and beat Sun Wu... With his fierce record and extremely outstanding ability, he became the pillar of the empire. Later, this pure minister of the Great Wei Dynasty, the pillar of the empire, deceived Cao Shuang, who was determined to kill him by pretending to be sick. He launched the Gaopingling coup while Cao Shuang was unprepared, and took control of the highest power of the empire in one fell swoop, and used bloody facts to tell the Cao Wei royal family what is extreme counterattack and what is the strongest ungrateful wolf!

However, Sima Lang Gu was not very proud. Shortly after he compiled the power, Wang Ling, the general of the East of Huainan, rebelled with the flag of the Heavenly Way, threatening to kill Luoyang to break his turtle shell and help Cao Wei's chambers regain their country. If you want to say how loyal Wang Ling was to Cao Wei, it might not be necessary. He probably wanted to be the second Sima Yi——You Sima family can rob this country, but my Wang family can't rob it? You just don't discuss it!

There was no way, Sima Langgu had to drag his old body to lead his troops to quell the rebellion. Mr. Wang Ling, who wanted to be the second Sima Yi, obviously overestimated his military talent. Before he could fight, he was cleaned up by Sima Langgu and obeyed him and took him back to Luoyang to see the monkey. Of course, Sima Langgu was not much better either. He died shortly after quelling the Huainan rebellion, and his eldest son Sima Shi became his successor.

Sima Shi was as calm and vicious as his father, and he was a complete political machine for his goal. His fate was the same as his father. Shortly after he came to power, he encountered the Huainan rebellion and could only lead troops to quell the rebellion. After finally putting down the Huainan rebellion, his life came to an end and died before he could return to Luoyang. Therefore, Huainan is really incompatible with the Sima family. Every time he quelled the Huainan rebellion, he would consume a Sima.

Sima Shi had no descendants, and his son Sima You, who was adopted by Sima Zhao, was only ten years old at that time. At this time, there were still quite powerful Cao Wei royal family in the court, and Shu and Wu were also eyeing the border. In such a crisis, a ten-year-old child would definitely not be able to hold on. So Sima Zhao had a brother and took over the power.

Sima Zhao did a good job, completely pacified Huainan, destroyed Shu Kingdom, and completed all the preparations before seizing the cauldron. Unfortunately, he didn't have much time, and he died after ten years of power, and he couldn't live up to the emperor.

Sima Zhao left happily, but laid a great thunder for the soon-to-be-born Western Jin Dynasty: when he died, Sima Shi's son Sima You had grown up, and he was both civil and military, and both morally and talented. He was definitely the best successor. He had said before that he was just a temporary general and would return the power to Sima Yan when Sima You grew up. But it was obvious that he did not intend to do this. Before he died, he handed over the power to Sima Yan, his eldest son, Sima You's eldest brother.

Sima Yan did it well, completed the final sprint for seizing power, established Wei Zixuan, established the Western Jin Dynasty, quelled the rebellion of the Xianbei people, destroyed the Eastern Wu, ended the war that lasted for a hundred years since the Yellow Turban Rebellion at the end of the Han Dynasty, and allowed the land of China to reunite. However, the thunder his father left him to him always made him unable to sleep or eat:

How should we deal with Sima You, the nominal cousin and the actual younger brother?

We have said before that Sima You can be both literary and martial, and has both moral integrity and talent. Everyone in the court and the country are called him virtuous. However, in comparison, Sima Yan's eldest son Sima Zhong is a mentally retarded... This comparison is a bit tragic. This magical matching mechanism makes Sima Yan in a dilemma when choosing a successor. As a successor, either a chief or a wise man, but he can't be a wise man. If he establishes a chief, he can only be a mentally retarded. If he establishes a chief, he can only be a mentally retarded. If he establishes a chief, he can only be a mentally retarded. If he establishes a wise man, who has Sima Youxian? The worst thing is that Sima You has always been qualified to sprint towards the successor of the empire. Don't forget that Sima Zhao was too young to be embarrassed by his great responsibilities. He took over the squad of Sima Shi. Now Sima Zhong is a mentally retarded and cannot be an emperor at all. Why can't Sima You also take over the squad of Sima Yan?

In the end, Sima Yan chose to make Sima Zhong, the mentally retarded prince. Despite the opposition of the ministers in the court, he pressed against Sima You step by step, trying to expel him from the court and drive him to Shandong to become a vassal king. Sima You became worried and angry, and eventually vomited several liters of blood and died suddenly. Sima You had a very high reputation in the court and had a very good popularity, so that all the civil and military officials of the court were extremely angry at the exile of Sima You, led by Sima Yan, and the opposition was extremely fierce. Sima Yan was not ruthless at all. Under his thunderous iron fist, Xiang Xiong and Yang Xiu died of grief and anger. Zhang Hua and more than a dozen important officials were either dismissed from office or expelled from the court. For the sake of the supreme power, Sima Yan did not hesitate to demolish all the pillars of the court!

In the end, Sima Yan won, and as he wished, his stupid son became his successor. However, he won the devastated area.

But do you think the matter is over?

Too naive.

A fool obviously could not control the supreme power, and the Western Jin Dynasty lacked everything, but there was no shortage of ambitious people. Shortly after Sima Yan's death, each of the ambitious people showed their fangs, staring at the dragon throne with blood-red eyes, and biting each other desperately, trying to kill each other. First, it was the tyranny of the foreign relative Yang Jun, which caused dissatisfaction with the queen Jia Nanfeng, who borrowed the hands of King Sima Wei of Chu to destroy him, and the three tribes of the Yang clans of Yi. Immediately afterwards, Sima Liang and Wei Guan, the two auxiliary ministers, controlled the power again. Jia Nanfeng did not stop and took the two ministers of resentment with Sima Wei's knife to take away the two ministers of resentment. Then he killed Sima Wei on the charge of a forgery of edict, and firmly grasped the power in his own hands.

Later, Jia Nanfeng first deposed the prince, and then sent someone to beat the unlucky guy to death to prevent future troubles. As a result, she stabbed the hornet's nest, and she was immediately killed by Sima Lun, the king of Langya who had been hiding in the secret. Although Jia Nanfeng was vicious and not a good thing, he could still suppress the court. With her death, there was no one in the Western Jin court who could suppress the venue. All the vassal kings rushed to fight and rushed towards Luoyang, and the civil war in the Western Jin Dynasty broke out!

The death knell rang.

This civil war for power lasted for ten years. Luoyang City was forcibly destroyed. One vassal king after another became dead souls under the sword, one army after another became bones exposed to the wilderness. The national strength of the Western Jin Dynasty was quickly exhausted in the wilderness. When they were exhausted, the Hu people who had been accumulating strength in secret opened their eyes and showed their sharp fangs...

When Li Rui staggered from the pile of corpses, time had already arrived in 310 AD. At this time, the Huns had swept across Shanxi, and the rolling iron cavalry swept down from the Taihang Mountains, trampled on the Central Plains, and rushed to the edge of the Yangtze River. Wherever they went, the towns and villages turned into scorched earth, and tens of thousands of living lives turned into mountain corpses, and one by one, the bustling areas became ghosts with no people but only ghosts crying.

The Western Jin Dynasty paid a terrible price for the mistakes it had made.

Li Rui's original body and countless young people like Li Rui's original body also became part of these costs. This unlucky guy, also known as Li Rui, is from Huainan, and is a small landlord with hundreds of acres of fertile land. In this chaotic era, landlords with some strength would organize village soldiers, build walls to protect themselves, or separatist the country. However, the Li family, a small landlord with little strength, naturally does not have the ability to raise troops, but being a soldier is qualified. In this era, these small landlords with more than 100 acres of land are considered good families and the best source of soldiers. So, when Li Rui was seventeen years old, he enlisted in the army, followed countless young people like him to the battlefield, and entered the bloody war...

Not long ago, the Huns' army attacked Yiyang fiercely, and Luoyang was shocked. The unlucky army was ordered to reinforce Shangyiyang. As expected, as soon as they entered Yiyang, they were intercepted by the Huns' army, and the losses were extremely heavy. Seeing that the situation was not good, the commander gathered the remaining troops and fought and retreated, retreated into the Kinmen City. The Huns' army then arrived, surrounding the small Kinmen City and attacked day and night, without even giving him a chance to take a breath. The Jin army's chariots and the Huns did not dare to come to help. Such an isolated army relied on the lonely city to defend and fought with the Huns for half a month until the ammunition and food were exhausted. The city was finally captured, and the soldiers and civilians in the city were slaughtered. This unlucky urged to be knocked away by the Xiongnu cavalry who had rushed in the melee, and their tendons and bones were broken, and they died on the spot...

After receiving the information, Li Rui couldn't help but cover his forehead and sigh.
