Feng Yi County has nine counties in total, and it governs Linjin County. The name of the country was changed to Dali, and the Xiongnu changed its name back to Linjin.
The city is adjacent to Luoshui in the south, and not far from the northeast of the county is the ancient royal city of Dali Kingdom, which has been an important transportation thoroughfare since ancient times.
Feng Yi and the Di Qiang rebelled and dispatched 30,000 people. With lightning speed and a combination of internal and external cooperation, they occupied the city and seized all the grain, grass and ordnance that the Huns had hoarded here.
If you ask why the Di Qiang had such great power in Feng Yi? Then the Later Han must be blamed. Cao Wei and the imperial dynasty also had a share of the blame, but the Later Han was the main responsibility.
During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Guo Dynasty, household registration statistics were conducted. There were a total of 7,700 households in the eight counties of Fengyi County (Liu Han had nine counties), which was more than 30,000 people. This household registration still did not distinguish between Hu and Han, as long as the household registration
It all counts.
Of course, the data must be false. A large number of people are not counted and cannot be counted. The imperial court does not have this ability.
But even if it were doubled, there would only be 70,000 or 80,000 people, but Feng Yi had more than 100,000 Di and Qiang people. The population structure is evident - in this land of three auxiliaries in Guanzhong, Jin people might already be "minorities."
After the Di Qiang captured Linjin, Liu Can, who was based in Huayin, moved to Zheng County and sent troops to cross the Weishui River to the north in an attempt to capture Linjin. Unexpectedly, the Di Qiang were quite capable of fighting. They camped on the north bank of the Luoshui River and continued to send rangers south to fight with the Xiongnu.
Fight.
Liu Can is also having a hard time now.
The more than 17,000 forbidden troops brought over that year, after years of expansion, were only more than 20,000. Together with the 6,000 personal troops from Chang'an, the total was only 26,000 to 7,000 who were relatively capable of fighting.
Among them, there are nearly ten thousand cavalry troops who have been sent north to intercept the Xianbei cavalry going south and prevent them from rushing down from Shangjun.
The remaining 10,000 or 20,000 men were divided between left and right, but it was not enough. It was hard to say whether they could defeat the Di Qiang who were defending across the river.
Fortunately, the Diqiang were not in a hurry to go south.
They only continued to incite rebellion in Feng Yi County and brought in more young people, including powerful Jin people who were closely related to them or married to each other. The number of rebel troops continued to increase, and Feng Yi's counties fell one after another.
This was the severe situation Liu Can faced on the sixth day of July.
On this day, more and more Jin troops crossed the river and marched westward. Hou Feihu even took the Heijin Zuoying and set his flag on the ground of Hexi County - where Pujin Guanxi City is located. Liu Han analyzed the situation.
It was built in Jin County.
The guard was quite strong and did not run away.
Not only did they not run away, they also suppressed a mutiny at night, killing more than a thousand people. There are still four to five thousand garrison soldiers in the city. Although their morale is low, they are panicked, and they only have enough food and grass for a month, they are still being held back.
Collapse.
Hou Feihu's men captured several defeated soldiers outside the city. After figuring out the situation inside the city, they decided to focus on persuading them to surrender.
"The King of Liang has three ambitions, one of which is to 'be patient with each other for the sake of the country', the second is to 'ensure peace between Yi and Xia', and the third is to 'advance with the times'." The selected sergeants with loud voices shouted in unison outside the city.
: "Today Puban has been lost, and the army is marching westwards, unstoppable. You all have parents, wives and children, how can you say that you can fight against the world's affairs with one corner? It is better to descend quickly now, for fear that all life will be ruined later, and regret will be too late."
After shouting three times in unison, several letters of surrender were sent up in succession.
No one stopped the whole process, no one harmed these people, but no one surrendered in Kaicheng.
Obviously, the defenders were still hesitating and waiting to see if the emperor could clean up the situation and eliminate or drive back the Jin army that had crossed the river.
If you can do it, then continue to serve the Han Dynasty.
If this is not possible, then you should consider changing the door.
Hou Feihu knew their thoughts very well and did not rush to attack the city. Instead, he did two things.
The first thing is to find someone to contact the Diqiang chiefs and take unified action.
The second task is to send people north to Feng Yi and the hilly area of ​​the eastern section of Hengshan Mountain at the junction of Shangjun to meet our own troops crossing the river from the north of Shangjun and heading south, and then contact the Xianbei cavalry to try to eliminate the 10,000 cavalry sent by Liu Can.
To put it bluntly, we must destroy the enemy's vitality.
No matter how broken the ship is, it still has three thousand nails.
The Sixteen Guards Forbidden Army and the Four Guards of the East Palace, which were formed during the Liu Cong era, were relatively elite troops of the Xiongnu. In the end, only half of the 30,000 to 40,000 people retreated to Guanzhong, and most of them were lost on the battlefields of Hanoi and Hedong.
It would be better for Feng Yi to let these last remnants of Liu Han die in Shangjun than for them to run back to Chang'an.
****
On the day of Qixi Festival, a large number of cavalry arrived outside Fu's manor in the north of Niyang County, Beidi County.
Fu Zuan had just returned to Niyang from Chang'an with his mother when he encountered bandit soldiers on the way.
Seeing that they were only a few miles away from home, they were targeted by a group of cavalry, and the attendants were all panicked.
Fu Zuan took a deep breath, asked someone to fetch the horse, got on the horse's back, and stretched it across the front of the car.
More than a hundred servants also drew their bow tips and quickly strung them, staring at the thieves with malicious intentions.
Fu Zuan could see clearly that the ones coming were rope heads, which could be seen from the braids on the back of their heads.
They came around from the northeast, so if nothing else happened, they should have come out of the mountains in the northwest of Fengyi County. The best road there leads directly to Sheyanshui. Many merchants traveled to and from Chang'an, and between Sheyan and Chang'an.
, must pass through Niyang.
Thinking of this, Fu Zuan took a deep breath. It turned out that the Xianbei thieves had also gone south, but he didn't know whether these people came to take advantage of the situation or to lure the Huns.
The latter is unlikely.
This time he accompanied his mother back to Chang'an to visit relatives, and he found out a lot of news, including the news that Tuoba Xianbei suddenly turned against him and marched south to invade Shangjun.
This news is very true, because thousands of defeated cavalry have fled back.
But another piece of news is half true and half false, because some people say that Shaoxun, King of Liang in the Jin Dynasty, drove Xianbei southward and invaded Guanzhong.
For a while, Fu Zhuan didn't know whether he should believe it or not.
But for now, it has become a fact that Xianbei went south, and he does not need to think so much. He should first save Fu's family business in the north before talking about anything else.
While thinking, Fu Zuan stood forward and looked at the Xianbei people who were approaching gradually, without any panic at all.
More than a hundred boy servants also stood on horseback, with bows and swords ready, and their fighting spirit was high.
The Xianbei cavalry that surrounded them only numbered a hundred and fifty, which was much more limited than them.
They looked left and right and found that there were only two or three cars in the convoy, two of which were occupied by people, and the other car carried some pots and jars, which did not look like anything valuable.
Then he looked up at the servants of the Fu family. They were holding bows and knives tightly in their hands, as if they would fight for their lives if they disagreed.
After carefully weighing the pros and cons, the leader whistled and led the crowd away.
It's not that it can't be beaten, it's just that it's not cost-effective.
If you fight with people, a lot of people will die. If you get a lot of money, it is acceptable, but you will obviously not get anything, so it is not worth it.
Fu Zhuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Mother Webster also opened the car curtain and looked at her son with some worry.
"Don't worry, grandma, the thieves have retreated," Fu Zhuan said.
Webster wiped the corners of his eyes and said, "It's my mother who has caused you trouble. If I had listened to your advice and gone to Bianliang or Jianye, I would have been less worried."
Fu Zuan sighed: "Why do you say this? If we leave, the family property will be lost."
Fu Zuan's father, Fu Xian, was once the imperial censor Zhongcheng, and after his death he was awarded the posthumous title of Sili Xiaowei.
Fu Xian had three sons, the eldest son Fu and the second son Xi all moved their families south to build Ye.
Fu Fu once served as an official in the Sima Yue shogunate, and later transferred to the Sima Rui shogunate as a minister. After going to the south of the Yangtze River, he died within a few months. It was obvious that he could not adapt to the local environment - the northerners crossed south, and the northern army marched south. The biggest enemy is the environment.
Fu Xi was still alive and appointed Yu Ling.
Fu Zuan originally wanted to go to Hebei, because when his father proposed to be the governor of Jizhou, he sent Fu Zuan there to buy property. As a result, his grandmother Du did not want to go with him to Jizhou, so he gave up. There was no need for such a high official as the governor.
Of course, how could such a wealthy family have no official position? But a month later, he was given another official position: Situ (He Zeng) Zuo Changshi.
After the chaos broke out in Yongjia, there was no peace in Guanzhong. Hu people from all walks of life poured in, and the situation was very bad.
The two brothers crossed south one after another, and Fu Zuan planned to go to Hebei. However, he sent someone to take a look and found that Hebei was also in a mess. In addition, his mother Wei Shi was unwilling to leave her hometown, so she decided not to leave.
After Liu Han entered Guanzhong, he lived in peace for a few years.
At that time, there were heavy floods in Guandong, but the weather in Guanzhong was smooth and the grain was plentiful.
Even in the Shangjun area, when there was too much rain, the pastures grew like crazy, and livestock thrived.
At that time, everyone said that they were lucky not to leave, Liu Han really had some destiny, and Guo Zuo seemed to be able to last longer.
But who would have imagined that just a few years later, armies from all walks of life were already coming in...
Fu Zuan was confused and took his mother back to his manor.
Almost immediately before and after him, another group of Xianbei cavalry emerged from the wilderness to the north, numbering no less than five hundred and fierce.
A warning bell rang in the manor.
The dealers had already withdrawn from the garden, and the dealers had solemn expressions on their faces.
The door to the arsenal has been opened, and the players will be called one by one to receive equipment.
Those who had already received them were arrayed in the open space in the courtyard, and several murderous military commanders were lecturing them.
Fu Zhuan suddenly felt a little pity.
Four hundred members of the family went to Tongguan and were drafted by the Huns to guard the city. But now we don’t know how many of them are left and where they are.
Just then, a gong sounded from the courtyard wall.
Hundreds of people who were resting under the wall jumped up and lined up to climb the courtyard wall.
Dozens of people were assigned to various corner towers, holding bows in hand, commanding the crowd and controlling the entire crowd.
"What's going on?" As soon as Fu Zuan settled his mother, he immediately turned around and ran over, asking.
"Your Majesty, there are Xianbei cavalry shouting outside, but you can't really hear them from a distance," someone answered.
Fu Zuan went directly to the top of the city and looked carefully. He saw more and more Xianbei cavalry gathered outside the manor. It seemed to exceed 1,500. There was smoke and dust in the distance, and more people were still there.
Rush here.
The other side shouted again.
Fu Zuan listened carefully. The wind was too strong and he could only vaguely hear the words "Shao Wang", "Dai Gong", "Feng Ming", "Chang'an" and other words. The accent was very strange, and it took him three times to figure it out.
Fu Zuan looked at the generals and commanders, and those people were also looking at him.
"What do you think?" Fu Zhuan asked.
After hesitating for a moment, one person said: "These rope heads should be soldiers of Tuoba Dai Kingdom. Judging from their tone, it seems that they have been ordered by Liang Wang Shaoxun to go south to attack the Huns, but I don't know why they are shouting outside the village."
"What else can I do? Just ask for food and grass." Fu Zhuan quickly figured it out.
Will we provide food and grass? Of course we will.
If you are in a hurry, all the grain that will be harvested in January in the farmland outside the village will be harvested for you - you can even harvest it now to feed the horses.
But Fu Zuan's thoughts were no longer about food.
Someone in their family served as an official for the King of Liang, and they even helped the King of Liang recruit a group of miscellaneous cavalry. After the Xiongnu captured Guanzhong, the contact became less and less.
It shouldn't be a problem if we contact Fu Chang and Fu Xuan brothers again and talk about their family friendship.
But in this case, you can't expect to get too many benefits.
Is it like going to visit a friend and leaving empty-handed?
"Open the door!" Fu Zuan made a quick decision and said, "Go out of the city and form an array."
"My lord!"
"Lord!"
"Ming Gong!"
The generals and commanders were shocked and tried to persuade him one after another.
"You don't know what's going on. It's normal for you to be worried like this." Fu Zuan raised his hand to stop everyone's next words and said, "I know what to do, so I won't say anything more."
What to do? Of course, take down Niyang and even Fuping as a gift.
Beidi was one of the thirty-six counties of Qin, but at this time there were only two counties, which was much worse than before.
Maybe words don't work in other places, but in Niyang and Fuping, the Fu family still spoke the truth. Otherwise, they would not have been safe and sound under the rule of the Xiongnu, and they would have been slaughtered as fat pigs long ago.
