As soon as Zaosong arrived in Anping, he encountered a battle.

Fortunately, the battle targets are not them, but the Xiongnu and the Xiongnu?

After escaping into a familiar Wubao family, Zaosong climbed onto the turret and looked carefully.

"Taiwanese, don't look at it, Wuhuan, Xianbei versus the Huns, it's just dog eating dog." Cui Xing, the commander of Wubao, walked over and said.

"Xianbei? Where did Xianbei come from?" Zao Song was a little surprised.

Just the Wuhuan, they are everywhere, it is not surprising that they appear everywhere. But as far as he knows, Xianbei is mainly distributed on the northern grasslands, there are some in the interior, but most of them live in Hexi (vassal of Liu Han), Youzhou

, why did you run to Anping?

"You came from Youzhou, didn't you know?" Cui Xing said in surprise.

There are many Hu people in Youzhou, and they are of various types.

Contrary to what most people imagine, before Duanbu Xianbei withdrew from western Liaoning in a large scale, the Xianbei people may have been the largest group of Hu people in Youzhou, but they did not account for half, or even less than one-third of the total number of Hu people.

There are also a large number of Wuhuan and Xiongnu in Youzhou.

Below these two major ethnic groups, there are also the Jie people and various small Zahu tribes that cannot be named. For these Zahu chiefs, they may not be able to figure out their clan affiliation. After all, they are not in the habit of writing history.

Of course, the Jin Dynasty officials were not very clear about it, or were too lazy to distinguish clearly.

In official archives, "category" is a word that appears frequently.

To put it bluntly, it is to distinguish between yellow people and white people. It is simple and crude - well, it is indeed very simple and very rough. For example, if a yellow clan joins a certain white tribe, they will be considered white, and vice versa.

However.

For the officials of the Jin Dynasty, were they uncomfortable with taking drugs or playing with money? Why bother to investigate? Sometimes they even just heard some unreliable rumors and recorded them directly.

Don't ask for confirmation at all.

Zahu, it stands out as a mess.

"This is a tribe from the south of Youzhou? How could I not know?" Zao Song was surprised.

Cui Xing looked at his old friend helplessly and sighed: "I know Wang Junzhi has been defeated."

Theoretically, all the barbarians in Youzhou are under the control of Wang Jun, but in fact he has no control over them. People come and leave when they want, without even saying hello.

Wuhuan's son-in-law, Su Shuyan, defected to the Huns and looted Youzhou. What could Wang Jun do?

Duan Bu Xianbei also fell out with him, occupying the land of Youzhou and forming a separate entity. What could Wang Jun do? Well, there really was one. He bribed his original enemy, Tuoba Xianbei, with a lot of money to fight against Duan Bu Xianbei.

In other words, Wang Jun was no longer able to control the Hu people. He lost the huge Hu people's armed force in Youzhou.

So, what about the Han people?

Don't worry, Governor Wang also fell out with them.

Last year, severe floods broke out in Youzhou. Many places were affected, farmland was destroyed, and people had no food and clothing.

The people of Youzhou asked for relief, but Wang Jun refused.

He had one or two million husks of grain on hand, which he put in the granary, preparing to raise troops, but not to provide disaster relief.

As a result, all the Hu and Han people in Youzhou became disloyal.

Wang Jun is a professional when it comes to misbehaving people, so anyone with a discerning eye can see that his rule is in jeopardy. There are still die-hard loyalists, but not many. If they encounter any strong external force, they will be kicked over.

"Zhigu, what are you talking about?" Zaosong was a little unhappy.

He is Wang Jun's son-in-law. He once served in Sima Ying's shogunate, but Ying was defeated and defected to Wang Jun, where he was entrusted with important tasks.

This time when he went south to Jizhou, he came with a mission.

The mission is a bit unbelievable and even makes people laugh: Wang Jun heard that Shi Le was defeated, so he sent people south to recruit the officials and people of Jizhou to surrender, and Zaosong was one of them.

In addition, he also has a special mission, which is to go to Yecheng to meet Shao Xun.

The task of recruiting the officials and people of Jizhou to surrender did not go smoothly. Everyone was laughing and refusing to make a clear statement.

Zaosong knew that he was waiting and watching and refused to place a bet easily.

There are not many soldiers in the counties, and the ability to protect themselves is worrying. Once you surrender to one side and are attacked by the other side, you may not be able to wait for rescue. By then, you will be dead and your family will be wiped out. Who dares to place a bet easily?

Zaosong was disappointed and decided to go south to Yecheng first.

The route is also very cool. We go directly to Anping, the seat of the Xiongnu governor of Jizhou, and then go to Weijun via Guangping. In fact, it is not that dangerous. Nowadays, various political powers in the world have very weak control over the grassroots. As long as they find a foothold, it is not possible at all.

The problem, for them, is that the most dangerous thing is the numerous bandits in the countryside.

Today is August 25th. Zaosong was not very lucky. As soon as he arrived in Anping, he encountered a large-scale war.

"Taiwan, even though you are Wang Youzhou's son-in-law, you still have to think about yourself." Cui Xing pointed to the two sides fighting in the distance and said, "Who are you fighting against the Xiongnu?"

"Isn't it Wuhuan, Xianbei?" Zaosong said subconsciously.

"Yes and no." Cui Xing said: "One side of the war is the Huns' Jizhou governor, Zhenyuan General Liang Fuzhen's soldiers, and the other side is Lukou general Su Qiu."

"Su Qiu? Never heard of it." Zao Song shook his head.

"You..." Cui Xing smiled bitterly, not knowing what to say.

"I heard that Su Qiu was a distant relative of Su Shuyan and took some Wuhuan, Xianbei and Jie people with him to the south. There were more than 2,000 people and a population of more than 15,000. He was appointed by Duke Chen as the general of Lukou Town." Cui Xing explained:

"This time he was ordered to go south to harass the Huns who were left behind. He has been fighting for several days."

Zaosong suddenly realized.

The Wuhuan people originally had no surnames. After Chineseization, many people adopted Han surnames and Chinese names. Su Shuyan and Su Puyan were actually given names, not surnames. However, many Wuhuan people simply made things simpler and took Su as their surname.

Su Qiu is the one.

Lukou is located in the territory of Boling State, dozens of miles southwest of Raoyang. It is located at the mouth of Luqu, so it is also called "Lukou".

When King Sima Xuan conquered Gongsun Yuan, he built a city here to store grain and make full use of water transportation.

Hebei has been in war for a long time, and the fighting in Lukou, a water and land strategic point, was particularly fierce. People from far and near fled away. Therefore, the Hu people who had defected from Youzhou were resettled in Lukou City and farmed and herded nearby.

Once you have acquired land and status, you will naturally have to contribute.

Therefore, Su Qiu, as the general of Lukou, selected two thousand cavalry and went south to attack the Huns in Anping. The two sides fought repeatedly in the north of Anping, and each suffered casualties.

From Cui Xing's point of view, this is really a case of dog eating dog.

He didn't like the Hu people in Youzhou because Wang Jun was unable to restrain them and they often went south to plunder.

He also didn't like the Huns in Anping, because the food collection and service were very complicated and the burden was heavy.

Moreover, the military discipline of the Hu tribes headed by the Xiongnu under Liang Fuzhen was also very poor. They often burned, killed, and looted, but Liang Fuzhen didn't pay much attention to them.

You went to complain, but he didn't bother to care.

He's been sued too many times, so he's just trying to show off, catching and beheading a few bastards who have looted too much, so that you won't bother him anymore.

"Knowing the ancients, what is a general? I asked myself that I am familiar with the imperial regulations, but I have never heard of the position of general." Zaosong asked.

He actually somewhat understands the meaning of "zhenjiang", because the imperial court has the position of "such-and-such general (general number) suppresses such-and-such (name of place)". Is this an abbreviation?

"I don't know either." Cui Xing was a little confused when it came to this matter. He could only say: "Today I only heard that Liu Hezhu, the general of Luze Town, Su Qiu, the general of Lukou Town, and Bo Sheng, the general of Shangbai Town, seem to have other generals.

Different. Lukou is called "Xiazhen", Luze and Shangbai are called "Shangzhen", but I don't know if there is a "Zhongzhen"."

"Bo Sheng? The handsome beggar who was summoned to Luojing for the King of East China Sea?" Zao Song frowned and thought something was wrong.

At that time, the situation in Luoyang was critical, and Sima Yue urgently summoned the beggar commanders from Hebei to lead his troops into the defense, including Bo Sheng.

Later, Sima Yue was forced to leave the capital and leave the town, taking many soldiers and horses with him, a considerable part of whom were beggars.

After Sima Yue died, the beggars went their separate ways.

Li Yun remained in Luoyang and served as general of the right guard.

Chen Wu is in Chenliu.

Wang Ping and others went to the Liang Kingdom, and were attacked by Jin Zhun and Shi Le twice. Their vitality was severely damaged, and their tribes were scattered. After hearing that they had been annexed by Shao Xun, they organized the people into households and reclaimed wasteland in the counties of the Liang Kingdom.

Bo Sheng returned to Hebei after many twists and turns. After Tian Hui's death, Bo Sheng led 5,000 Hu Han people to surrender to Shile.

Hebei is really complicated!

Bo Sheng was from Wuhuan, and most of the five thousand households under his command were Wuhuan tribesmen. In fact, he had a deep connection with Wuhuan in Youzhou, and was one of his targets for surrender, but Shao Xun actually beat him to it!

"What is Bo Sheng doing now?" Zao Song asked anxiously.

"How do I know this?" Cui Xing said helplessly: "Maybe he is chasing Shi Le."

"Shi Le was defeated again?"

"Well, the city of Xiangguo was destroyed, and Le went north to Zhao. His generals recruited soldiers from Changshan and Zhongshan to go south and join them. There may be another war."

When Zao Song heard this, he was a little sad.

When Shi Le was so powerful, he beat Wang Youzhou so much that he did not dare to fight. It had only been a year, but who would have thought that Shi Le's momentum would plummet and reach this point?

Strictly speaking, Shao Xun saved Wang Youzhou twice.

Fangtou built the city once.

The Northern Expedition to Yecheng was once.
