Taibao Pan Tao is about to return to Pingyang and Luoyang.
The Fourth Battalion of the Huangtou Army had just delivered grain, grass, gold and silk to Chang'an, and was about to return. After receiving the order, they rested for two days and prepared to lead a group of people eastward.
The Huns surrendered 15,000 troops and their families, totaling more than 70,000. They were to be moved to Guandong as civilians, and they were escorted by them.
There are also nearly 20,000 Hu and Han captives who have been liquidated, and nearly 20,000 puppet officials have been demoted as slaves. The total number exceeds 100,000 - this number continues to increase.
This group of people was temporarily stationed in Acheng area, under the supervision of eight thousand Qiang soldiers from Yao Yizhong's department, and they would be sent away after a while.
If nothing unexpected happens, these people will become a military force and be scattered among the counties.
On the 28th, Jin Zhun, the general who was guarding the Huns, came to Acheng and inspected the camp.
It was early in the morning, and smoke was curling up inside and outside Acheng.
The city has long been crowded with people, and the outside of the city is also full of shacks. Crowds of people are crowded together, taking the corn from their hair and carefully cooking porridge.
These people are mainly Tuge and Huyan, plus some Jin people and Zahu. The leaders are basically dead, either on the battlefield or in the coup.
In recent days, Jin Zhun took advantage of the opportunity to capture and surrender people and killed another group of people, leaving the rest basically in a state of disunity.
They didn't have to become slaves, but the King of Liang needed a large number of people to serve as his troops, so their fate was doomed.
"Jin Zhun, what are you doing here?" Yao Yizhong was returning from a tour of the camp. He immediately stood up and asked firmly.
Behind him were hundreds of riders, and under the saddles of the dozens of riders in front, there were bloody human heads hanging, and blood was still dripping down at this moment, obviously they had just been beheaded not long ago.
Jin Zhun was a little unhappy again.
He proposed to demote these Xiongnu tribesmen into slaves. He also killed many thorns, but the question is, how dare you kill Yao Laoqiang?
His attitude is still very rude and he keeps saying "you" at every turn. Don't you know that many people call him "Jin Gong" or "Ming Gong"?
"I'm here to inspect the camp and see how Tuge, Huyan and other tribes are doing," Jin Zhun said.
"I have finished my patrol, you don't need to worry about it." Yao Yizhong said: "Besides, do you think they are willing to see you?"
After that, he laughed loudly and rode away.
Hundreds of riders followed, disappearing into the early morning mist.
Jin Zhun flicked his sleeves and, surrounded by his entourage and soldiers, began to circle around the outside of the camp.
Sure enough, Yao Yizhong was right, Jin Zhun had better not come here.
When he saw him, many people glared at him and even cursed secretly.
Jin Zhun seemed to have not seen him, turned a deaf ear, and just patrolled silently, and did not leave until three o'clock in the morning.
While patrolling the camp, he even saw a group of new prisoners.
After a little inquiry, it turned out that it was Jin Zheng, the general of Zhenxi, who defeated the Di and Qiang mixed barbarians in Xinping and Fufeng who refused to surrender.
According to the prisoners, Jin Zheng was so ruthless that he not only beat them, but also the Tuoba Xianbei troops who were still looting.
Jin Zhun was shocked when he heard this, and then felt a little confused.
Jin Zheng and Tuoba were fighting each other. Logically speaking, it shouldn't matter who won or lost. Why did he suddenly become worried?
After leaving Acheng, he quickly returned to Chang'an, and then asked to enter the palace to see him.
Jin's tribe is still stable, with more than 30,000 members.
In recent days, Jin Zhun has also contacted some Xiongnu clans and even small tribes scattered in various counties, and gained more than 20,000 people.
These are those who will join the Jin tribe in the future, and their pastures and cultivated land need to be determined.

When Jin Zhun entered the Jianzhang Hall for an audience, a group of Guanzhong gentry came out.
He knew the leader, Hu Xun, the Guanglu doctor.
After Hu Xun saw him, he apologized to everyone and asked him to leave first. He brought Xin Shu, Jiang Ying, You Ziyuan and Hu Song over to say hello.
Fu Zuan of Beidi Fu clan nodded slightly to Jin Zhun and left.
There seemed to be people from Wei and Du around him, but they didn't pay much attention to Jin Zhun and simply ignored him.
"Is this such a wise old man?" Hu Xun said with a smile.
"Why do you need to joke? I want to come in and see the King of Liang." Jin Zhun said: "My lord came out with a happy face. I must have been entrusted with an important task?"
"The situation in the land of Guanxi is complicated. If King Liang wants to have long-term peace and stability, he can only 'get people' and 'employ people.'" Hu Xun said with a faint smile.
The Hu family is one of the five surnames in Anding (Liang, Huangfu, Xi, Cheng, Hu).
During the Cao Wei years, Hu Zun and Guo Huai jointly guarded the border and fought many battles with Zhuge Liang. Later, he went on an expedition to Liaodong and became part of Sima Yi's old army. He was promoted to General of the Guard before his death.
His son Hu Fen rose to the rank of general of the army. When Liu Meng of the Xiongnu rebelled, Hu Fen was ordered to supervise the army and supervise all troops to fight against the thieves.
Hu Fen invited General Qiaoqi, and Huangshi slaughtered the Hu leader Lu Fan and defeated Liu Meng.
Hu Fen's daughter Hu Fang was also Sima Yan's noble concubine and was extremely favored.
However, this was also the last glory of the Hu family. Looking at the official resume of his family members, most of the more powerful ones were thirty years ago.
In other words, in the past thirty years, this family has been declining day by day. So when the Xiongnu attacked Guanzhong, they were very careful. They first failed to save Chang'an and then sat back and watched the defeat of Guanzhong's heroes, which harmed the Liang family and their in-laws.
family's interests.
When Sima Bao occupied Qinzhou, Hu Song was his general. He also encouraged Lu Songduo, a member of the Huangshi Tu tribe, to start a rebellion and attach himself to Sima Bao.
Of course, they were all defeated in the end.
After the defeat, the Xiongnu quickly changed their clans. Regardless of the past grudges, the Huns appointed Hu Xun as the Guanglu doctor, and Hu Song also held the post of general.
The reason is actually very simple. There are many Hu people in Anding, Xinping, Nan'an and Lueyang.
The Han people have a close relationship with them. For example, the pacification of the Hu family has encouraged the Tugelu family to raise troops more than once, and the suppression of the Jin family. The Liang family also has a close relationship with the Huangfu family.
Lu Shuihu and some Di Qiang people had a lot of contacts with the Liang family.
These Han aristocratic families in the frontier areas and the Hu chieftains had a mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship.
When the imperial court sends troops to fight, you are often called upon to lead the troops. At this time, you can bring the barbarians with you.
After achieving military exploits, you need to ask for credit from the Hu chieftains and provide them with official conveniences on weekdays.
Just like the two collaborations between the Anding Hu family and the Tugelu family, there is also an unclear relationship between the Taiyuan Wang family and the Tuge Liu family.
However, since the Tugelu family was cheated, they have alienated the Anding Hu family.
Lu Songduo fled to Longxi and did not dare to go home. Other Lu family members attached themselves to Jin Zhun and used him for his use. Therefore, Hu Xun and Hu Song had a very delicate relationship with him.
At this time, Jin Zhun heard Hu Xun's somewhat complacent boasting and sneered secretly.
But he remembered that King Liang once asked him what would happen if he attacked the Henan nobles.
Haha, he even wants to touch the Henan gentry, so what do the Xizhou gentry count?
"What position will Mr. Hu be given?" Jin Zhun asked calmly.
"Shaoqing of Sinong Temple (fifth grade)."
"Compared to Dr. Guanglu, he is much inferior." Jin Zhun said.
The smile on Hu Xun's face faded and he said: "But he can't protect the Xiongnu lieutenant general."
He specially emphasized the word "protect", which was obviously sarcastic.
Jin Zhun ignored him and asked other people one by one.
They didn't hide it, they talked about it one after another.
You Ziyuan was still appointed as the prefect of Feng Yi, Jiang Ying was appointed as the governor of Yongzhou, Xin Shu was appointed as the minister of the Zhenxi shogunate, and Hu Song was appointed as the supervisor of the Zhenxi shogunate.
Through their mouths, Jin Zhun also learned that Fu Zuan was appointed as the censor, Yuan Junyi ordered Fu Chang to be the governor of Zhenxi, and Wang Kuang was still the minister...
When he heard the news, Jin Zhun felt alarmed: He seemed to be too isolated.
The Hu people in Guanzhong had a normal relationship with him or even did not deal with him, and the Jin people did not have much good feelings toward him, so they were not well informed.
How could this happen? It seems to be caused by my own fault.
After some casual remarks, Jin Zhun was summoned inside.
******
"Pingyang urged me to return, but it is difficult to do so in a short time. Qinzhou has not yet been conquered, and various tribes have newly attached themselves, and people's hearts are in confusion." When Shao Xun saw Jin Zhun enter, he nodded, pointed to the couch beside him, and continued
Discussing matters with Zhang Bin, Yang Man and others.
"Your Majesty, although Shi Wu's surname is Shi, he stopped massacring the Xiongnu and assumed the name of self-reliance. His name is Xiongnu, but he is actually the Yuezhi." Zhang Bin said: "Shi Le defected to him, so it is difficult to be accepted."
Why did Shi Le defect to Shi Wu? The only reason is that they are similar in kind.
To put it bluntly, Shi Le is a Hu from the Western Regions, and Shi Wu is a descendant of the Dayue clan, both of whom are Caucasian.
Most of the tens of thousands of people under Shi Wu's command were white people, and sometimes they were even called Jie people. However, he called himself "King Xiutu", and he obviously wanted to inherit the title of king of the Xiongnu. Historically, most nobles were appointed by the Xiongnu Chanyu.
When King Xiutu was appointed, they were not allowed to be promoted internally.
When Liu Han suppressed and suppressed Shi Wu, he was unwilling to give him the title of "King Xiutu", but instead canonized him as "King Jiuquan". It can be seen that some famous weapons are still very useful to this day.
"General Jin's army has been stabilized. Your Majesty, you might as well wait a little longer to see the outcome of the war before making any further calculations." Zhang Bin said again, "Even if this man surrenders, he will definitely not be able to live in Qinzhou and will have to move away.
"
Shao Xun nodded, then looked at Jin Zhun and said, "Do you have any strategies?"
Jin Zhun thought for a while and said: "Not long after Shi Wu surrendered, he attacked Chen An for Liu Han and defeated it. Liu Can was delighted and made him an envoy to control the military affairs of the various barbarians in Longshang, Qinzhou, to pacify the west.
The general, the governor of Qinzhou, has been granted the title of King of Jiuquan. As a servant, I will see that if the tribes in Longshang had not been relocated in large numbers, they would never have been able to use Shiwu. If the king wants to attack it, I am willing to send troops to help in the battle."
"Oh? Send troops to help in the battle?" Shao Xun was surprised: "Have all the troops been sorted out?"
"The Jin family's headquarters is in Anding, and we can choose seven thousand troops to win, which can be led by my brother Kang." Jin Zhun said.
Shao Xun laughed and said: "So that's what you had in mind. Don't worry, I've given An Ding an order to return your family members, don't worry. You said this, your niece came to beg me first, and you came again
."
"What?" Jin Zhun felt his head buzzing.
Shao Xun glanced at him and said, "My niece is in Changle Hall."
"Who asked her to come?" Jin Zhun asked subconsciously.
Shao Xun looked at him quietly, a little unhappy, and said: "You asked me in every possible way, what do you mean?"
Jin Zhun's heart shuddered and he felt a little humiliated.
"I intend to use Jin Kang as the general of Sangcheng Town to attack Qinzhou." Shao Xun continued: "For those tribes in An Ding, you give him some. If he goes to Qinzhou to recruit the tribes, that is his ability.
”
"Yes." Jin Zhun responded with difficulty.
Shao Xun looked at him and asked again: "Jin's three points, are you unhappy?"
"I don't dare." Jin Zhun replied.
"Do you know who came up with this strategy?" Shao Xun asked again.
"I don't know."
"That's your good daughter Jin Yuehua." Shao Xun said, "I think she is much smarter than you."
Jin Zhun was shocked.
He really didn't expect that his daughter would actually suggest splitting up the Jin clan. This was because she was turning her elbows outward.
However, after calming down, Jin Zhun felt that maybe it wasn't such a bad thing.
It's just that--this was brought up by his daughter, which was a little hard for him to accept.
"You will take care of this matter in the next few days." Shao Xun said: "Everything in Guanxi is complicated, so you should bear some of it. I won't leave until these things are taken care of."
After that, he ignored him and gave an order to Lu Chen: "Order Luoyang to send an envoy to Chang'an. As soon as Qinzhou is pacified, he will go to Liangzhou immediately. Send a letter to Taiwei Wang and ask him to go to Luoyang."
Let’s hold a few informal talks and let the news out first. In the court, find a few officials below the fifth rank to mention the matter.”
Then he glanced at Jin Zhun and went straight to the harem.
Chapter completed!
