After the beginning of spring, there were many strong men and women outside Han City, and they began to build the city.
The reason is that Xinyanga has an unusual smell,
After entering April, the arrival of clan brother Xin Mi confirmed many of his guesses.
"Brother said that Zhang Jun is not like a human master, but I don't know what Shao Taibai is like?" On the undulating hills, the grass grew and warblers flew, and the breath of spring came to his face. Xin Yan picked off a wild flower and put it on the tip of his nose to smell it.
and asked.
Xin Mi also misses this scenery very much, because this is what Longxi looked like when he grew up in his childhood.
The endless mountains, fast-flowing rivers, wormwood taller than his waist, and the houses and farmland dotted in the river valleys were still unforgettable to him even after decades.
At this moment, when he heard Xin Yan's inquiry, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Shao Taibai has already died for more than half of the people in the north, so why say more?"
This world was brought down by him with one sword and one shot, which is different from people like Zhang Jun who just sit back and enjoy the achievements of their fathers and ancestors."
"After talking about his achievements, let's talk about his appearance. Shao Taibai is tall and tall, bold and generous, and he has a good understanding of people and a capacity to accommodate others. This is not what Brother Yu said, but what Wang Yifu said. He has the hope of the world.
, and was also impressed by Shao Taibai, what do Gongming think of Emperor Daliang?"
Xin Yan wanted to say that Wang Yifu might have exaggerated, but he stopped when he thought of his fame.
"What kind of person is Zhang Jun? Gong Ming knows better than Brother Yu, right?" Xin Mi continued: "Many people know about the rumors about him when he was young."
Speaking of this, Xin Yan couldn't help laughing.
What kind of person is Zhang Jun? Ever since he had the ability to control women, he has been arrogant, domineering, extravagant and lewd.
I don't know if it's a special hobby or something else, but he always likes to wander on the streets late at night and do such debauched and debauched things that many people imitate him.
In addition, although he was very talented and could write a decent article at the age of ten, Zhang Jun's appearance was not that good. Everyone in Liangzhou tried every means to whitewash Zhang Jun's appearance, but in the end they only gave it four words: "strange and magnificent."
Such a person, in an era where appearance and grace are very important, will definitely make people laugh at or even despise him.
In a word, you don't look like the master.
Xin Yan was a scholar, and his aesthetics naturally aligned with those of aristocratic families.
What's more, the Xin family in Longxi is not a small family. Do brothers Xin Ping and Xin Pi know Xin Pi who once served for Yuan Shao?
The former became Cao Wei's Shizhong and Weiwei.
Xin Jing, the son of Xin Pi, joined the army under Cao Shuang.
Her daughter Xin Xianying was a talented woman. She married the Taiyang family and gave birth to two sons and one daughter. The eldest son was named Yang Jin.
He was Yang Xianrong's grandfather. His daughter married Xiahou Zhuang, the governor of Huainan, and his grandson was named Sima Rui.
Tell me, can this intricate relationship be different?
In fact, until the eve of the fall of the Jin Dynasty, the Xin family in Longxi still had many high-ranking officials. However, due to the war, fewer people stayed in Guandong. Most of them quickly packed up their luggage and ran back to Guanxi. When the crisis came, people
Instinctively, I want to run to my hometown. Even if I find my hometown remote and detrimental to future development, I would try to stay in the big city closest to my hometown, such as Chang'an.
Before Xin Mi went west, he met Yang Xianrong once and discussed their relationship. They were distant cousins, so he went west to persuade his younger brother Xin Yan to surrender.
Of course, this is only part of the reason.
The real core reason is that Xin Mi has suffered enough from being displaced, and is very happy to see someone who can clean up the old mountains and rivers.
And this man was not a barbarian, which was especially admirable to him. After all, he had rejected Liu Cong's conquest in the first place.
Now he just wants the Liang Dynasty to be stable. He can serve as an official in Beijing and do his part for the development and growth of the Xin family in Longxi.
Xin Yan, he must persuade.
If Xiping, the two counties of Jinxing and Hanying could be brought down, Xin Yan's development would be even better than his, and the Xin family in Longxi would reach a higher level.
However, Xin Yan was still a little hesitant. After thinking for a while, he asked: "Shuzhong, you said that the Emperor of Liang wants to appoint me as the governor of Hezhou. How much land does Hezhou cover?"
"To the south of Yanzhi Mountain, everything is Hezhou." Xin Xin said.
"That's the first camp of the three counties of Jincheng, Jinxing, Xiping and Han?" Xin Yan was a little moved.
"Battle" is a very special organization in Liangzhou, which is at the same level as the county.
For example, Liangzhou has the "Yumen Great Guard Army", which leads the camp troops and is directly under the jurisdiction of the governor.
Wuji Xiaowei Mansion's own garrison army is also a battalion.
Xin Yan's official official position is "Hanhujun", leading the Han camp troops.
Hanfei County even belongs to Longxi County. Due to the long-term guarding of Henan (south of the Yellow River) and the pressure of war, Xin Yan has controlled Jinxing and Xiping counties as a flank protection force for Jincheng County.
If the Liang Dynasty wanted to take Jincheng directly, theoretically it would be rare if it was not on the marching route, so it could be ignored.
But is it really true? Obviously not. Because people can attack from the flanks and threaten your food routes. If you don't remove them, you can't attack Jincheng with all your strength.
This is his united front value.
So Shao Xun was willing to set up Hezhou for him and make him the governor. But just now Xin Yan mentioned Jincheng County, which is a bit different.
I only heard Xin Mi explain: "Gongming, this is greed. You can't control Jincheng now. Are you so greedy that you want to take over this large county under the pressure of the army? Jincheng County has already been promised to others."
"Who?" Xin Yan asked very sensitively: "You, or Dou?"
Xin Mi shook his head and did not answer, as if letting him guess. This only made Xin Yan more anxious, feeling that he might be betrayed.
"Gongming, Zhang Jun has been dissatisfied with you for a long time. He wanted to send troops to attack last time, but it was the middle of winter and he gave up in the end."
Master Wang, do you think Zhang Jun will still tolerate you? If you don’t believe it, ask Xin Rongli (Xin Tao) to ask the middle man Liu Qing what happened at that time?"
"No need to ask any more questions." Xin Yan waved his hand and said, "Zhang Gongting really wanted to kill me, and it wasn't just a day or two. Liu Qing regarded his attempt to dissuade Zhang Jun as a great success and asked me for a bribe, so I know the inside story."
"Then you are still working for him?"
He is a person from Zhongxia, and most of the ministers in the court are famous people. This is an upright dynasty and worthy of service. The governor of Hezhou is already very good.
Do you know why you are willing to continue to command these two counties and one battalion?"
"Why?" Xin Yan guessed, isn't it because he has soldiers on hand?
"I don't want to see your troops destroyed." Xin Mi smiled coldly and said, "It's not easy for you to train some troops. Once the Qiang, Xianbei, and Xiongnu are wiped out in one day, Henan will be in chaos.
Think about it for yourself, is the situation in Hezhou stable? What will happen if your troops are gone? There are still followers of Murong Tuyan (son of Murong's brother Murong Tuyuhun) in the west."
Xin Yan's face turned pale when he was told this.
Especially the sentence about not wanting to see your soldiers being defeated made him extremely embarrassed and at the same time a little humiliated and even scared.
He really wanted to surrender.

Amidst the blooming mountain flowers, Wen Qiaojiao got off her horse.
Behind him were a group of miscellaneous chieftains, all of whom were beaming with joy.
"Don't say that I won't pay my debt again." Wen Jiao turned around and said with a smile.
"Your Majesty is truly a trustworthy person."
"I will play with Shijun next time."
"Your Majesty, I won't win against you too much."
Everyone was laughing and laughing, and couldn't stop having fun.
It's interesting that the dignified governor of Qinzhou actually bet with them and lost.
However, Wen Shijun's gambling is really good. Don't be impatient if you lose, and you will pay off your debts. Sometimes when he comes to the tribe, he will bring some silk from China to everyone as a greeting gift.
He has basically traveled to all the counties in Qinzhou, and there are too many people who know him.
Wen Shijun could even call many of the tribe's elders by their names. While drinking, playing games, courting women, chatting and laughing together, the tribe's elders also gained a certain understanding of the imperial court and corrected many of their previous wrong views.
To put it bluntly, someone made a rumor in the past, which might make people panic and cause chaos.
Now listening to Wen Shijun's words, it seems that this is not the case, and it is not so easy to believe rumors.
Going north to Sangcheng today, many leaders of the Shiqiang tribe were called here.
They brought with them an entourage ranging from a hundred to several hundred people, and they actually gathered into an army of more than five thousand people. They were now camping at the foot of the mountain, and they looked decent.
Huan Wen also had hundreds of people on hand.
Because of Yu Liang's recommendation, he was appointed as the captain of Longxi County as soon as he arrived. The state paid for the recruitment of 500 strong men and gave him command, which was regarded as rebuilding the army of Longxi County.
Huan Wen cherished this opportunity very much. Although he despised these Qiang and Hu soldiers in his heart, he still forced himself to eat and live with them, and gradually became familiar with them.
Now we still need military exploits to establish prestige. "Yuanzi, I'm afraid, Jincheng won't even have a chance to fight." Wen Qiao gently rubbed the left side of his face.
Said: "Are you disappointed?"
"Your Majesty, are they going to surrender?" Huan Wen tightened the bow and sword in his hand and asked attentively.
"Xin Yan felt that Dou Tao of Jincheng was going to surrender, and Dou Tao felt that Xin Yan was going to surrender." Wen Jiao said, "And Dou Tao couldn't suppress the You family and the Han family. He felt that they wanted to use his head to make meritorious deeds, so they all wanted to escape back home.
It’s a tribe. If people are so distracted, what will happen if they don’t surrender?”
After saying this, I couldn't help but frown.
He has been suffering from toothache for a long time.
I didn't pay attention at first and the pain was not severe. Since this year, the pain has gradually deepened and has become a bit unbearable.
After listening to his words, Huan Wen thought for a long time.
Wen Gongxiang's words are sure to hit the target, and this analysis is very reasonable, which makes Huan Wen a little anxious.
He needs to make meritorious deeds.
"You are more gambling than me." Wen Jiao looked at Huan Wen's slightly childish face and joked: "It is a difficult road to join the army to kill enemies and make contributions. You should have asked for permission in the first place and let me
Yu Yuangui will introduce you to a good marriage, so that you won't make any detours. Look at me, I married the Langya Wang family's daughter, and suddenly I went from being in debt to having a fortune of tens of millions. Don't you want to learn from me?"
Huan Wen shook his head.
Wen Jiao laughed. Halfway through her laughter, her teeth started to hurt again, and her face suddenly changed.
"Your Majesty." Youbu Dai came over and said, "The toothache is very serious and needs to be pulled out."
"How to pull it out?" Wen Jiao's eyes lit up and she asked.
I asked many people in Luoyang before, and some said to use pliers to pull it out, while others said to use a hammer or file to remove it. It was scary to hear it.
After coming to Qinzhou, dental disease continued to bother him, and he was introduced to a new tooth extraction method.
When Youshi's tribe made a big bet, they introduced a sharp archer, saying that he could shoot strong bows and crossbows that others could not. He asked Wen Qiao to tie the carious tooth to the arrow and pull it out with a "swish".
Today, the Qiang tribe gathered together, and they obviously had a new method. I heard him say: "I have a magical donkey in my family. He has a bad temper, but his strength is amazing. He makes you one by one."
"That's all." Wen Jiao was a little scared and waved her hand.
At this time, several riders galloped back from the front and reported: "Your Majesty, General Jin from Sangcheng reported that Xin Yan was promoted to Jin Dynasty.
The two counties of Xiping and the Hanhu military camp surrendered."
