Biography of Liu Yu Part 2(5)

Unexpectedly, the news came that Liu Muzhi had died of illness. Liu Yu gathered his civil and military generals in Chang 'a to discuss. Most of them did not approve of continuing the expedition. Liu Yu then left his twelve-year-old son Liu Yizhen, Wang Xiu, Wang Zhenxian, Shen Tianzi and other generals to defend Chang 'an and led his army southward. Even a barbarian like Wang Maide, an adviser to Helian-bo, the ruler of the state of Xia, could see Liu Yu's intentions. Shortly after Liu Yu returned to the south, Helian-Bog sent an army to break Qingni in the south, seize Tongguan in the east, and lead a large army to attack Chang 'an.

At this time, the Wen and Wu of the Jin Dynasty who remained in Chang 'a were divided among themselves. Shen Tian Zi killed Wang Zhenji, Wang Xiu killed Shen Tian Zi, and Liu Yizhen killed Wang Xiu. When Liu Yu got the news, he was so frightened that he ordered Zhu Lingshi to defend Chang 'a and ordered Liu Yizhen to return to Chang' a as soon as possible. Liu Yizhen and his soldiers raided treasures and beautiful women and returned them to the south in their cars to catch up with the Xia army. Zhu Lingshi was killed in battle, and Liu Yizhen fled on horseback.
