During his reign, he carried out the policy of Han Hu division, but at the same time actively adopted Ethnic integration And cultural assimilation policy. He claimed the title of emperor himself, indicating that he was the orthodox ruler of the Han and Hu nationalities in the north, and let his son Liu Yin Do big single to rule the Hu people. Liu Yao actively promoted Confucianism in Zhao State, set up a Taixue and a primary school in Chang'an, and hired famous scholars to teach Confucian culture. At that time, there were more than 1500 students. He also established the system of rent and tax and implemented the feudal system. In this way, the State of Zhao of Liu Yao showed a greater tendency of sinicization than the State of Han. Therefore, scholars believe that the former Zhao regime established by the Xiongnu Liu clan should be one of the Chinese feudal regimes combining Han and Hu, and should not be based on Han chauvinism And despise it.
Liu Yao's army marched into the Hexi River, where there were two hundred and five thousand soldiers. They came to the camp near the river. The sound of bells and drums, the sound of boiling river and moving ground, "since ancient times, there has been no Sibi in the military." Liangzhou was horrified by this. Zhang Maosui contributed Liu Yao as a vassal to it with cattle, sheep, gold, silver, prostitutes, treasures, pearls and Liangzhou specialties. Liu Yaofu and Zhang Mao served as guardians of the Western Regions, Liang Wang and other posts, and soon became a class teacher. [38]

The two Zhao fought

In the fifth year of Guangchu (322 years), Zhang Bin died of illness. After that, whenever Shiller disagreed with his adviser, he always thought of Zhang Bin's original advantages and sighed: "Isn't it a bit cruel for the right marquis to leave me and let me plan big things with these people?" Although he lost his most capable assistant in his life, Shiller spent several years to wipe out Youzhou's Duan Pindi Qingzhou Caoyi , and by the governor of Yuzhou in the Eastern Jin Dynasty Zu Ti The chance of death has captured Yuzhou Yanzhou , Xuzhou, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty. In this way, Shile finally got the chance to turn around and deal with his real opponent Liu Yao. [44]
In the first month of the seventh year of Guangchu (324), the later governor of Zhaosi Prefecture Shisheng Zhao Henan Imperial Guard before the attack Yin Ping In Xin'an (now Xin'an, Henan), Yin Ping was defeated and cut off. Shi Sheng looted more than 5000 Zhao households and returned them. Since then, Zhao and Zhao have fought and attacked each other, Hedong County Hongnong County Between, the people are living in poverty. Xiyi Zhonglang of later Zhao will occupy Bingzhou, and Zhao before surrender.
In May of the eighth year of Zhao Guangchu (325), Shi Sheng, the later Zhao general, stationed troops in Luoyang, invaded and plundered the area south of the Yellow River. The army of Li Ju, the governor of Si Zhou, and Guo Mo, the governor of Yingchuan, was defeated many times and lacked military supplies, so he sent envoys to ask for attachment to the former Zhao. Former Zhao Leader Liu Yao Sect Zhongshan King Liu Yue He led 15000 soldiers to Mengjin, and sent Hu Yanmo, the Zhendong general, to lead the Jingzhou and Sizhou people from Xiaoshan and Mianshui to the east, hoping to join Li Ju and Guo Mo in attacking Shi Sheng. Liu Yue conquered Mengjin Garrison and Shiliang Garrison, captured more than 5000 heads, and marched to besiege Shisheng in Jinyong. After Zhao, Zhongshan Duke Shi Hu led 40000 infantry and cavalry from Chenggao Pass He entered and fought Liu Yue to the west of Luoshui. Liu Yue was defeated and shot by a flowing arrow, so he retreated to be conservative Stone beam Stone tigers set trenches and fences around the stone beams to isolate the inside and outside. Liu Yue's taxi crew was extremely hungry, so they killed the war horses for food. Shi Hu attacked again Huyanmo And killed him. [45]
Liu Yao led the army to rescue Liu Yue, and Shi Hu led 30000 cavalry to attack. Liu Hei, the former general of the former Zhao army, attacked Shi Cong, the general of Shi Hu's army stationed in Batebaka, and defeated Shi Cong's army. Liu Yao stationed his troops in Jingu. At night, the army was suddenly shocked without reason, and the soldiers fled and scattered, so he retired and stationed in Mianchi. At night, the army broke up again, and Liu Yao returned to Chang'an. In June, Shi Hu captured Shiliang, captured Liu Yue and his entourage of more than 80 people and more than 3000 people of the Di and Qiang nationalities, took them to Xiang, and killed 9000 soldiers of Liu Yue. Shi Hu then attacked Wang Teng stationed in Bingzhou, captured and killed him, and killed more than 7000 of his soldiers. Liu Yao returned to Chang'an, put on his plain clothes and stopped in the countryside to cry and hang. He went to the city seven days later and became ill because of his anger. Guo Mo is defeated by Shi Cong again, leaving his wife and children to flee south to Jiankang. Li Ju's soldiers secretly plotted to betray Zhao after he surrendered. Li Ju was unable to suppress them, and he also led the people back to the south. His followers fled one after another on the way. Only Guo Xuan and more than 100 others followed him, and he died in Luyang. Li Ju's long Shi Cui Xuan led more than 2000 soldiers to surrender to Zhao. In this way, Sizhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou and Yanzhou were all included in Houzhao, which was bounded by Huaishui in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Liu Yao appointed Liu Yin, the Yong'an King, as the Great Sima and Great Danyu, and renamed them the Nanyang King. Shan Yutai was set up in Weicheng. Under the left and right Xianwang, the heroes of Xiongnu, Jie, Xianbei, Di and Qiang were all appointed.
In May of the 10th year of Guangchu (327), Liu Lang, the military general of the former Zhao Dynasty, led 30000 cavalry troops to attack the Yang is hard to fight Unable to win, they plundered more than 3000 families and returned. [45]

Frontier offence

Precooling Zhang Jun heard that Hou Zhao defeated Qian Zhao, so he abandoned the official rank granted by former Zhao and called them the Grand General of Jin and the Marshal of Liangzhou, and sent Wu Wei as the Grand Guard Dou Tao Jincheng Tai Shou Zhang Lang, Wu Xing Tai Shou Xinyan , General Yang Lie, Song Ji, and other generals Han Pu The army attacked and captured the counties of Zhao Qinzhou. Emperor Zhaowen Yao sent his son, King Yin of Nanyang, to lead the army to resist the enemy and settle down Didaocheng Rare The escort Xin Yan is in a hurry. In autumn, Zhang Jun sends Han Pu and Xin Yan to rescue him. The progress of Pu is Wogan Ridge. Yan wants to have a quick fight with Zhao Jun. Pu said, "Since the end of summer, the number of the sun has changed, so we should not move lightly. And Yao and Shile will attack each other, so Yin will not be able to stay with me for long." Taoshui [t á o] After more than 70 days of stalemate, the military supplies were exhausted. In October, Pu sent Xin Yan to Jincheng to supervise the transportation of grain and grass. Yin said excitedly, "Han Pu is ten times as numerous as I am. I don't have enough grain to last long. Today, when the prisoners divide their troops to transport grain, God has given me the right to do so. If Xin Yan is defeated, Pu and others will collapse." Immediately, the whole team commanded 3000 cavalry and attacked Xin Yan's headquarters in Wogan Ridge to defeat them; Then he marched forward to Han Pu's camp, and Puzhong collapsed. Yin seizes the victory to chase and kill the defeated soldiers, cross the Yellow River and attack Order residence County (Zhang Shi was set in Guangwu County, and his residence belonged to that county), beheaded at 20000 levels, and entered the territory Zhenwu Pu and others were bound to blame. Zhang Jun said, "What a shame for you, general!". The popularity of Hexi area is appalling. Tens of thousands of troops of Zhang Lang and Xin Yan Marshal went out to surrender to Zhao, and Zhang Jun also lost the land of Henan (especially the Henan area of Hexi). [45-47]

Captured in person

Hedong area [23]
In the 11th year of Guangchu (328), after Zhao Zhongshan, Duke Shi Hu led a crowd of 40000 people from Close (Now Henan Jiyuan Northwest China) moved westward and attacked Hedong of Zhao before. More than 50 counties should follow. Shi Hu attacked Osaka (Today's Shanxi Yongji County )。 Liu Yao, the former leader of Zhao, sent Liu Shu, the king of Hejian, to garrison the Di and Qiang people in Qinzhou to guard against Zhang Jun and Yang's difficulties. He led the elite water and land armies at home and abroad to rescue Pubin and cross the Yellow River from Weiguan to the north. Shihu was afraid and led his army to retreat. Liu Yao pursued him. In August, in Gaohou (today's Shanxi Province Wen Xi County) caught up with Shi Hu, fought with him, and he was defeated, Shizhan After being killed, the dead body was buried for more than 200 miles, and Liu Yao captured hundreds of millions of military funds. Shi Hu's Song of Running Away (Today's Henan Province Qi County )。 Liu Yao from Dayang (today's Shanxi Pinglu Southwest China), march into garrison by victory Kim Yong Shi Sheng (now east of Luoyang, Henan Province), Kai Jue Thousands of yuan They were flooded by the impoundment of Yin Ju Zhang Jin, the governor of the Yewang, and others all surrendered to Liu Yao. Xiangguo, the capital of later Zhao, was shocked.
Zhang Jun prepares the army to sneak attack Chang'an. Li Cao Langzhong asked for advice and said: "Although Liu Yao marched eastward, his son Liu Yin could not be despised for defending Chang'an. Even if he had achieved little, if Liu Yao gave up his plan to the East and returned to fight with us, it would be difficult to predict when disaster was coming." Zhang Jun then gave up.
In November of the same year, Shile was ready to lead the army to relieve the siege of Luoyang, Liao Zuo Cheng Yao We strongly urged him to say, "Liu Yao has gone into our territory for thousands of miles alone, and it will not last forever. The king should not go out in person, and once he goes out, it will not be safe." Shi Le was very angry, and pressed his sabre to chide Cheng Yao and others to go out. Xu Guang had been imprisoned before. At this time, he pardoned his sins and summoned him for discussion. Shiller said, "Liu Yao, relying on his victory in a battle, besieged and occupied Luoyang. Those mediocre men thought that the former Zhao army was unstoppable. Liu Yao led 100000 soldiers to attack a city, but they could not conquer it for a hundred days. The soldiers were tired and lazy. We could capture them in the first battle if we attacked him with our high morale and elite army. If Luoyang is really lost because of no rescue, Liu Yao will surely fight his death to take Jizhou, which will be swept from the north bank of the Yellow River. I'm afraid my great career will be over. Cheng Ya and others won't let me go. What do you think, Aiqing? " Xu Guang replied, "Liu Yao, taking advantage of the good opportunity to defeat Shi Hu, failed to advance to Xiang State, but stayed with Jin Yong. From this, we can see that he will do nothing. With your majesty and power, the other party will surely lose. It is the moment to make a decision to pacify the world." Shi Le listened and said with a smile, "Xu Guang is right." So he ordered internal and external martial law, and those who dared to persuade him again were killed. He ordered Shi Kan, Shi Cong and Yu Zhou Governor Tao Bao to lead the existing scholars to gather in Xingyang, and ordered Zhong Shan Gong Shi Hu to march and occupy Shimen. Shile led 40000 people on foot to Jinyong and crossed the Yellow River from Daheng. [48] Shiller said to Xu Guang, "If Liu Yao were to garrison troops at Chenggao Pass, this would be the best policy. Next, he should set up a block in Luoshui. To guard Luoyang is to surrender to capture." [49]
On the first day of December, the armies of Hou Zhao will gather in Gao, with 60000 infantry and 27000 cavalry. When Shile saw Zhao Wubing guarding, he was very happy. He pointed to the sky and then patted his forehead and said, "It's God's will!" Then he ordered the soldiers to take off their heavy armor, and the horses were silent. They walked through the secret path day and night, and walked between Gongxian County and Zicheng City. [49]
Liu Yao only drinks and plays with his favorite courtiers, and doesn't care about soldiers. Some people around him tried to admonish him, but Liu Yao was angry and thought it was evil advice, so he beheaded the admonisher. It was not until I heard that Shile had crossed the river that I discussed how to strengthen the Xingyang garrison and close Huangma Pass. Soon the soldiers patrolling in Luoshui fought with the vanguard of Hou Zhao and captured the Jie prisoners and sent them to him. Liu Yao asked him, "Has Shile come by himself? How many scholars are there?" He replied, "The king came in person, and the army is very powerful." Liu Yao turned pale, and let the army release the siege of Jin Yong, and set up an array in the west of Luoshui. There were more than 100000 scholars, stretching more than ten miles from north to south. Seeing from afar, Shiller was even more happy, and said to the people around the attendants, "You can congratulate me." Shiller led 40000 foot and cavalry soldiers into Luoyang City. [50]
Near Luoyang [23]
Liu Yao was busy with Chen Bing's 100000 troops in the west of Luoyang. Shile ordered Shi Hu to lead troops from the north of Luoyang to attack Liu Yao's army in the west, and ordered Shi Kan to lead troops from the west of Luoyang to attack Liu Yao's vanguard in the north. Shile went out of Luoyang to close the gate and attacked Liu Yao. The former Zhao army collapsed. When Liu Yao retreated, his horse fell into the stone canal and fell on the ice, injuring more than ten places Shikan A prisoner alive. [51] Shiller then defeated the former Zhao army and beheaded more than 50000 soldiers. The order said: "I want to capture only one person, who has been captured. The special edict orders the soldiers to stop attacking, leaving them the way to surrender." [50]
When Liu Yao saw Shile, he said, "Stone King, do you still remember the covenant of Chongmen?" Shile asked Xu Guang to say to Liu Yao, "What's going on today? It's really God's destiny. What can you say?" On December 11, Shile's master returned to Beijing. Ask Shi Hu's son, General Zheng Dong, to lead troops to escort Liu Yao. Liu Yao was seriously injured. He sat in a carriage and asked the doctor Li Yong to ride with him. On the 25th, he returned to Xiangguo and ordered Liu Yao to live in Yongfeng The small town, which provided him with prostitutes and concubines, was surrounded by strict soldiers. He also sent men and women of Liu Yue, Liu Zhen and other ethnic groups to dress up and see Liu Yao. Liu Yao sighed: "I used to talk about Aiqing people. I always thought they had turned into dust. King Shi is kind and has saved you till now! I often feel guilty about killing Shi Tuo. Today's disaster is my fate." They were asked to leave one day after staying for dinner. [52]
Later, Shile asked Liu Yao to write a letter to his crown prince Liu Xi to surrender. Liu Yao's letter to Liu Xi said, "You should restore the state with the ministers. Don't change your mind because of me." So Shi Le killed Liu Yao. [52]

Abandon the capital and subjugate the country

Liu Yaosheng had nine sons, all of whom were granted kings: Liu Yin granted Nanyang King, Liu Xi granted Crown Prince, Liu Xi granted Changle King, and Liu Chan granted Taiyuan King; Liu Chong granted the title of King Huainan, Liu Chang granted the title of King Qi, Liu Gao granted the title of King Lu, Liu Hui granted the title of King Chu, and Liu Jian granted the title of King Linhai.
In the first month of the second year of Taihe (329), Liu Xi was terrified when he learned that his father Liu Yao had been captured. He negotiated with Liu Yin, the king of Nanyang, to defend Qinzhou westward. Hu Xun, the minister, said: "Although the monarch has been lost, the country is still intact, and the soldiers have not deserted, so we should concentrate our strength to resist the enemy for the time being. It is not too late to escape when we have no strength." Liu Yin was angry, thinking that it was disturbing the morale of the army, so he beheaded him, and then led all civil and military officials to flee to Shanggui (Tianshui, Gansu today). The local military officers also gave up the city they had been guarding and followed them, causing chaos in the central pass. Generals Jiang Ying and Xin Shu had 100000 soldiers guarding Chang'an. They sent envoys to ask for surrender to Zhao. Later Zhao sent Shi Sheng to lead soldiers stationed in Luoyang to Chang'an. [53]
Later, Zhao Jun sent troops from Luoyang to enter the pass and captured Chang'an. In August, Nanyang King and Dashanyu Liu Yinshuai sent tens of thousands of troops from Shanggui to Chang'an. Liu Yinjun stationed at Zhongqiao; Later, Zhao Shisheng was on his own, and Shi Hu commanded 20000 horses to rescue him. In September, the post Zhao army broke the pre Zhao Yu Yiqu Liu Yin fled back to Shanggui. Shi Hu's army defeated Shanggui guards at one fell swoop, captured more than 3000 civil and military officials, including Liu Xi and Liu Yin, and killed them all. He also killed more than five thousand counties in Luoyang. After this disaster, the Liu clan of the Huns suffered heavy losses and almost wiped out the clan. [54-55]

Descendants Yu Xu

With the demise of Han and Zhao dynasties, the Liu family of the Huns suffered two catastrophes, and some of their clansmen were slaughtered. The survivors of the catastrophes moved to various places to escape from disasters. Some moved eastward to Liaodong, some moved southward to Henan and all parts of the Central Plains, and merged with the Han people. Some moved westward to Guanlong, some fled to the desert, and some moved farther to Central Asia and Europe. But most of them still lived in North China, that is, today's Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, and Hebei, and were still leaders and chiefs of local minorities. to Sui and Tang Dynasties The Xiongnu Liu family also developed into Dongjun, Henan Carve yin The Wang family from other places had a prime minister.

political system

The political system of Han and Zhao dynasties basically inherited the system since Han and Wei dynasties and mixed with old customs. After Liu Yuan claimed that the Han King established power in 304, Zhao of the Han Dynasty adopted the official system of the Han Dynasty, setting up prime ministers, imperial officials Taiwei And such central officials as Liu Qing. Military officials Dasima Senior generals such as. Local officials followed the practice of State system , the policy of dividing Hu and Han was adopted to rule. Dashanyu has great power, second only to the emperor. By the fourth year of Liu Congjiaping (314), it had reached a relatively complete stage.
In Liu Yuan's time, Shan Yutai was set up, and the highest official was Da Danyu, who commanded the Liuyi tribe. Shan Yutai was set up along the old system of the Huns. When Liu Cong was in power, he set up the left and right clergy in the ruling area, each leading more than 200000 households, and set up an internal historian for every 10000 households, with a total of 43 internal historians. Under the Great Danyu, there are Shan Yuzuo and Shan Yuzuo, who are respectively responsible for six hundred thousand barbarians and ten thousand old people.
After Liu Yao became emperor, he inherited the original system of Han and Zhao dynasties and made minor reforms. Liu Yao followed the division of Hu and Han previously used. On the one hand, Liu Yin, his son, was taken as the great Sima and the great Danyu, who set up Shanyu in Weicheng (today's Xianyang, Shaanxi). From the left to the right, Xianwang and the following were all the minority princes. On the other hand, it generally followed the Wei and Jin dynasties Nine-rank system , set up schools, affirmed the privileges of the gentry, and colluded with the powerful families of the Han nationality to maintain their rule. In addition, following the method of Liu Yuan and Liu Cong moving people to the capital area, they moved a large number of conquered people of all ethnic groups to Chang'an for direct control. In the heyday of Han and Zhao Dynasties, there were more than 280000 soldiers, one in Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, and Gansu. At that time, all the people of Guanlong, Di, and Qiang surrendered. Zhang Mao, the former Liang, also sent envoys to contribute. [68]

The State of Han and Zhao controlled a large number of labor forces by various means, and the rulers may distribute a large amount of wasteland and landless land to the refugees engaged in agriculture, and levy taxes and corvees regularly. After assuming the throne, Liu Yao also took some measures to promote the development of agricultural production, such as reducing or exempting half of the people's taxes. The Han and Zhao states also set up agricultural officials, such as the Grand Secretary of Agriculture and Dushui Messenger; The former mainly "controls all kinds of money, grain, gold and silk", while the latter "mainly irrigates ponds and conserves rivers and canals". [69]
In Han and Zhao societies, slaves were also engaged in agriculture, handicrafts, animal husbandry and production. The main source of slaves was prisoners of war, followed by criminal officials.
