On the fifth day of August, the army marched to the bank of Sheyan River.
When we reached this point, it was mostly hilly and mountainous areas. Although there was a Qinzhi Road that was accessible, it was in disrepair and was not easy to walk, so Shao Xun ordered to stop for two days to rest, and he took the opportunity to meet with chiefs from various places.
There is a Xiongnu military base here, called "Fusu Fort". It is surrounded by stone cliffs and the mountain is very dangerous.
The city is not big, with a circumference of no more than five miles. It is named after Fusu Tomb and Mengtian Tomb nearby.
There were seven to eight hundred households of soldiers and civilians in the fort, half Di Qiang and half Xiongnu. Because the situation was over, they surrendered.
Shao Xun ordered a county to be established here, named "Sui De County", under the jurisdiction of Diaoyin County.
This county has four counties: Fushi (now Yuhebao, Yulin), Suide (now Suide), Yangzhou (Yangqiaopan Town, Jingbian County), and Sheyan (Baichengzi, Hongdunjie Township, Jingbian County).
Skin treatment.
The south of Diaoyin is still Shangjun, with jurisdiction over Gaonu (now Yan'an), Pingdu (near today's Zichang City), Dingyang (southeast of Yan'an, Yanchang, and in the middle of Yichuan, where Zahu live), Ganquan (now County, because
There is a beautiful spring in the south of the city (named after it), Zhilu (today's Fuxian County), which governs Gaonu.
At this point, the division of Shangjun was completed.
Xin Qin, Diaoyin, Shang three counties and twelve counties were basically abandoned during the Eastern Han Dynasty. Now they are all inhabited by barbarians. It will not be easy to restore them.
Shao Xun met with the chieftains in the newly established Suide County. In addition to the Xiongnu, Xianbei (remnants of Bai Xianbei), and Di Qiang, there were also many miscellaneous people.
These bastards can no longer figure out their clan affiliation, and are more like a big string of blood. Not to mention the Jin Dynasty, the Xiongnu couldn't figure out what they were, but there were still a huge number of them. In the end, they simply named them after regions, such as "
"Dingyang Hu" - Xihe County across the river also has a similar phenomenon, such as "Shilou Hu".
"When I returned from Luoyang in the past, I killed Lu Zhuyan. Who are you?" Shao Xun looked at a man named "Lu Zhuqian" and asked.
"Uncle," Lu Zhuqian replied.
Shao Xun nodded and asked: "Where did Xianbei from Shangjun come from?"
"This is the Han Bai tribe in Xianbei." Lu Zhuqian said: "At that time, he was stationed in Taiyuan, and later moved to various places."
"I lived in Taiyuan during the Han Dynasty..." Shao Xun was speechless after hearing this.
"In the past, when Tuoba was weak, he worshiped heaven in the western suburbs of Shengle. The nobles of the Bai tribe were unwilling to bow their heads, so they conquered the tribes of the Huimeng and dispersed in various places. The Lu Zhu family took control of four tribes and lived in Shangjun for generations." Lu Zhuqian
Said: "The Lu Zhu family and the Tuoba family are at odds with each other. Now I would like to serve the King of Liang as the master. I would like to be the vanguard in conquering Tuoba in the future."
"Hey——" Shao Xun stretched out his hand to stop Lu Zhuqian.
Don't say anything that is not conducive to unity. Didn't you see that the nobles from Tuoba Xianbei's second batch of reinforcements were also present?
Yilou Chinu, who had recruited more than 4,000 cavalry to go south, was indeed present at this time. After hearing Lu Zhuqian's words, he sneered.
Sheng Le worships heaven. There are seven wooden plaques on the altar, representing the seven brother tribes except the Tuoba clan, and Yilou is one of them.
The ten surnames of Tuoba are the same ancestors. Yi Zhan and Che Kun are not qualified to go to the altar. What kind of wild dog is Lu Zhu?
Of course he knew that Baibu was extremely powerful when it was at its peak and was the hidden leader of the Xianbei tribes, but that was all in the past many years ago. Today, Baibu and Xianbei are scattered, and the most famous one is the Lu Zhu clan. But he controls four tribes, totaling tens of thousands of people.
Since the war for the Xiongnu, these four tribes have suffered heavy losses, and now they can be considered powerful if they have 30,000 people.
"What is the expedition against Tuoba?" Yao Yizhong said from the side: "The enemy of the king is Liu Can. You should use all your troops to attack Chang'an."
Pu Hong couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
He can't stand Yao Yizhong anymore. It's too smelly and too strong. How shameless is it?
Lu Zhuqian listened to Yao Yizhong's words, turned around and saluted Shao Xun, and said: "Your Majesty, I would like to lead three thousand cavalry and five thousand infantry to go south to attack Chang'an."
"Yes." Shao Xun praised.
These are all things that you bring your own dry food, recruit your own troops, and fight on your own without you paying a penny. It’s completely free. Of course, nothing is truly free in the world. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, there were many people who brought their own dry food to fight for the monarch. It doesn't cost the monarch any money, the price is to acquiesce in their status as a local emperor.
Lu Zhuyan had tens of thousands of tribesmen, living between Shangjun and Diaoyin. In his early years, he had defected to Liu Yuan and had a good relationship with the Di and Qiang in Shangjun. However, they later became frustrated by the Huns' regime.
Shao Xun had never heard of the name Lu Zhushi in later generations.
Among the various Xianbei tribes, clans such as Hexi's Zheju and Yifu all had a place in the Northern Wei Dynasty. However, the Baibe Xianbei who had been taught a lesson by Tuoba Liwei and Tuoba Yilu's ancestors and grandsons eventually disappeared in the long river of history. middle.
It can be seen that the Tuoba family hates them and wants to kill them quickly, just like they did to the Murong family.
The people whom the Tuoba clan hates have their own united front value, but this is not enough to be respected by outsiders.
After waving his hand for Lu Zhuqian to sit back, Shao Xun looked at Shan Zhi, Shan Liang and his son, and said: "The Tuge family is really indebted to the Shan family."
Having said this, he stood up, sighed, and said: "In the past, Liu Yuanhai and I were on good terms and we cherished each other. However, Liu Cong and Liu Can's generation were disobedient to human ethics, insane, abandoned the teachings of their ancestors, and acted violently in the country."
Having said this, he looked at Shan Zhi and said, "In Yongjiazhong, I came back from Luoyang to rescue Yu Yan, and when I passed through Chenggao, I met Shan Zhenxi, but we just met Shan Zhi. How is he now?"
"It has been three years since he passed away." Shan Zhi replied: "On the day Uncle Cong died, he hated marrying the wrong woman, hated Liu Cong for not keeping his word, and hated Liu Can for being cruel and unkind."
"Old friends are gradually withering away." Shao Xun sighed: "Do you want to seek revenge from the Huns?"
When Shan Zhi heard this, he immediately fell down and kowtowed: "Please give me the order, Your Majesty."
"Feng Yi, among the Di and Qiang people in Shangjun, there are still those who respect the Shan clan. Now I can lead their troops and march to Chang'an. If you have military exploits, why should I begrudge you the post of the governor of Diaoyin?"
"I obey." Shan Zhi bowed again.
"Quickly go and command the troops." Shao Xun waved his hand and said. After speaking, he looked at Lu Zhuqian and said, "You should also send troops."
"As ordered." Shan Zhi and Lu Zhuqian responded in unison.
"Well -" After Shao Xun finished speaking, he paused and asked: "Who is now in charge of the Di and Qiang who are marching westward from Feng Yi?"
"Your Majesty, this is a powerful man who has eliminated power." Yang Man said: "He is arrogant and does not know the destiny. When he heard that the Huns were defeated, he incited Feng Yi and the Di and Qiang in Shangjun to rebel. He gathered 50,000 people and called himself 'King of Qin'. He was marquised The superintendent reprimanded me, and then I took off my title."
"The troops he gathered are still under his command." Shao Xun said: "The troops gathered by the Shan family are still led by the Shan family."
At the same time, I was a little surprised.
In Shangjun, Feng Yi has so many Diqiang.
To put it simply, these Di Qiang were mainly distributed in Weinan, Yan'an and Tongchuan in later generations. They were also found in the Yulin area in the north, but less.
Fifty thousand soldiers often correspond to a population of more than 200,000, among which Feng Yi should account for the majority, around hundreds of thousands.
However, not all the Di Qiang in these three places followed the Xuchu clan. There must be some rebels. It is shocking to think about it.
"Your Majesty!" Seeing that Shao Xun was silent, Yao Yizhong strode forward and said sincerely: "I am willing to lead eight thousand Fufeng Qiang soldiers to attack the Xiongnu."
"Your Majesty!" Pu Hong stepped forward and said, "I have ten thousand Di soldiers, and I can take Liu Can's head."
"Your Majesty!" The nobles from Xianbei and Wuhuan tribes also asked for battle.
When Shao Xun saw this, he turned to look at Zhang Bin and said, "Meng Sun, how many elite soldiers and fierce generals do I have under my command?"
Zhang Bin also smiled and said: "Your Majesty obeys Tian's orders, and people from near and far come to join him. This is the same heaven."
Shao Xun laughed and said: "Quickly seize Chang'an for me. You are all heroes in this world. What's the point of living in a remote place in a poor country? After you have made great achievements, you can follow me to Luoyang and Bianliang. You will be rich and wealthy."
****
When Liang Fen arrived in Anding, it was already the eighth day of August.
On this day, Peng Tianhu, the leader of Lu Shuihu and the governor of Liangzhou in Han Dynasty, heard that Liang Fen had returned home and came to visit him personally.
Two days later, Lu Shuihu dispatched more than 10,000 cavalry and went down the Jing River, heading straight for Chang'an.
Along the way, we encountered several groups of Huns.
These people only defended Yingcheng and did not fight with Lu Shuihu, nor did they obey Liu Can's orders to go eastward.
Of course, there were still quite a lot of Xiongnu tribes traveling eastward, mainly the tribes of the Laotu clan, and they all converged near Chang'an.
Guanzhong is already in a state of excitement.
The fighting in Anding, Lueyang, Nan'an, Fufeng, and Xinping counties suddenly became fierce.
Most of the Han people's aristocratic families would kill Xiongnu officials anyway, and the Hu people did not hesitate to make more concessions.
Many of the Di, Qiang, Ba, and Jie counties were forcibly moved by Liu Can from the land of Qinlong. Of course, there were also those who came on their own initiative, or who had lived in Guanzhong for several generations. They were still tribal habits, with men with big hair and ten. All those aged five and above were dispatched, armed with wooden spears, and gathered more than 300,000 soldiers (corresponding to a population of more than one million Hu people) to fight with the Huns scattered in various places.
After taking revenge, they took Hou Feihu's temporary official body and gathered happily in Chang'an.
Guanzhong under Liu Can's rule was like a powder keg, exploding immediately.
Of course, it would not be much better if someone else came to rule. There are more than one million barbarians in Guanzhong, with many ethnic groups and many conflicts. They are really a powder keg.
It was not without reason that Shao Xun proposed that "Yi and Xia are safe". He just recognized the reality and knew that since the mines were laid in the Later Han Dynasty, the Hu people have multiplied to this day. There are too many people and they cannot be killed at all. They can only be suppressed and appeased.
Moreover, due to climate reasons, surrounding tribes continue to move south and east, increasing the overall number of Hu people...
By mid-August, there were almost no organized Xiongnu troops in the counties outside Chang'an, and they had all retreated inside and outside Chang'an City.
The most frightening thing is that even the outside of Chang'an City is not safe, because Liu Can forcibly moved many thorns who were unwilling to obey him to settle near Chang'an. Almost all of these people rebelled. During the Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties, Liu Cong and Liu Can
, Shi Le, Shi Hu and even Fu Jian and others like to move the Thorny-headed tribe to the side of the capital.
August 15th, full moon night.
On this day, Shao Xun followed the Qin Straight Road, crossed many mountains, and arrived in the northern part of Feng Yi County.
Liu Can climbed up to the city and looked out, tears streaming down his clothes.
Di, Qiang, Ba, Jie, Xiongnu, Xianbei, Lushuihu and even various miscellaneous Hus with unknown origins were all stationed around Chang'an under the orders of Jin general Hou Feihu.
The real elite soldiers in Chang'an City who can fight are only 6,000 guards and 3,000 to 4,000 remnants of the Forbidden Army.
