Chapter 553 Pu Hong: The Advantage Lies With Me!
At this moment, everyone in the Eastern Jin court: …
Fine, fine, now that they no longer need the Eastern Jin Dynasty, they're turning their backs on us!
They wanted to see how long the Former Yan dynasty could last!
Lin Ke continued: "And the Di and Qiang, among the Five Barbarians, gradually came onto the historical stage with the demise of the Later Zhao, such as Pu Hong of the Di and Yao Yizhong of the Qiang."
"At that time, it was during the War of the Eight Princes. At the beginning, Pu Hong's Di tribe did not have much power. So Pu Hong served as a subject of the Western Jin, Former Zhao, and Later Zhao dynasties, and could be considered a 'veteran minister of several generations'."
Upon hearing this, the people of the Three Kingdoms burst into laughter in anger. These barbarians should really thank the Sima family!
Without the Sima family, there would have been no chaotic era, and the Hu people would not have had the opportunity to achieve great things!
The live broadcast continues.
"In particular, during the later period of Shi Hu, he forced Pu Hong and his tribe to settle in Fangtou. In short, they changed from Shaanxi residents to Henan residents. Of course, the same was true for the Qiang people, but in different places."
"Being forced to leave the hometown where generations had lived and come to live in a strange place, even though they had already submitted to the emperor, they still felt somewhat resentful."
"But the opportunity to rebel came soon, because Shi Hu, who was always causing trouble, was seriously ill and about to die. Not long before he passed away, he appointed Pu Hong as the military governor of Qin and Yong provinces."
"This edict meant that Pu Hong could return to his hometown, but Shi Zun believed that a tiger should not be released back into the mountains, and therefore rejected it."
"As far as Pu Hong was concerned, Shi Hu and Shi Zun were using him as tools to deceive him, and they were untrustworthy."
He expressed his anger, saying that since the ruthless Shi Hu was gone and the Later Zhao was embroiled in internal strife, what was there to be afraid of? He immediately decided that they would no longer serve as subjects of the Later Zhao and would immediately defect to the Eastern Jin.
"Therefore, in 350 AD, the Eastern Jin Dynasty bestowed the title of King upon Pu Hong of the Di people."
"At the same time, with the collapse of the Later Zhao, the Qiang people were also considering whether they, too, should keep up with the times and make progress, otherwise, would they be the only ones among the Five Barbarian Tribes who hadn't rebelled?!"
In another timeline of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu, upon hearing this, pinched the bridge of his nose. From the end of the Han Dynasty to the Western Jin Dynasty, and now to the Five Barbarian Tribes, he felt as if his body and mind had been hollowed out, utterly exhausted!
Centuries after centenary, round after round of struggles—those wretched emperors and wretched princes of the Western Jin Dynasty were insane!
He couldn't defend it, and the barbarians took advantage of the situation to invade. He was really upset and annoyed!
At the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the problems were far less serious than during the reigns of Emperors Huan and Ling. Perhaps the future would still follow the same historical trajectory. The only thing that could be done was to minimize the negative impact!
How worrying! So worrying!

"However, in some respects, Pu Hong and Yao Yizhong are quite similar. For example, the descendants of Pu Hong and Yao Yizhong both established separatist regimes, namely the Former Qin and the Later Qin."
First Emperor, Ancestral Dragon: "..."
"Therefore, both sides had lofty goals. In order to seize Guanzhong, Yao Yizhong launched an attack on Pu Hong, but he was no match for Pu Hong and ultimately failed. This battle was Pu Hong's moment of glory, and it also foreshadowed that they would go further. So, Pu Hong, who was full of ambition, called himself the Great Chanyu and the King of the Three Qin."
"At that time, there was a popular prophecy: Cao Fu should become king. Coincidentally, when his grandson Fu Jian was born, the words Cao Fu were still on his back. So Pu Hong waved his hand and announced that Pu should be changed to Fu."
"Perhaps at this moment, Fu Hong had not yet imagined how famous his little grandson would become in the future, because at this moment he was full of ambition and even sighed to Dr. Hu Wen: '...occupying a superior terrain...taking the world will be easier than for Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty!'"
Fu Hong: The advantage is in my hands!
Liu Bang: It's not too late to say this after you've conquered the world!
