The autumn wind sweeps away the fallen leaves, so there is no need to mention it.

After the war.

Zhang Xiu led Dian Wei, civil officials and hundreds of cavalry to enter Meiyang City from the north of the city. Liangzhou Governor Min Chun and Anding County Governor Yang Qiu led all the civil and military officials in the city to welcome him.

"Ming Gong."

Everyone saluted Zhang Xiu together.

The last time Zhang Xiu came to Anding County, most of the civil and military officials knew Zhang Xiu. However, after a few years, everyone was in a different mood.

When Zhang Xiu obtained Anding County, he was just a great sage.

Now he is the Grand Sima and the General.

Not to mention that Zhang Xiu has recently expanded his controlled territory and holds the "Thirteen Counties" in his hand. Putting aside Wudu and Yinping, Hanzhong is not only fertile, but also a gateway to Bashu, and a strategic priority.

When everyone saw Zhang Xiu again, they only felt that this person was "powerful".

"Please get up, everyone." Zhang Xiu smiled slightly and said with his hands.

But Zhang Xiu looked around the city gate, and many soldiers were still dealing with the corpses. He couldn't help but restrain his face, although the victory was indeed joyful.

But the sacrifice of Anding County was too great.

Without much greeting, Zhang Xiu and everyone entered through the north city gate and came to the lobby of the governor's mansion.

Zhang Xiu naturally occupied the main position, facing north and south. It was exactly the "southern side" that was called "isolated from the south".

"This time the Huns went south, and you can defend Meiyang City and make great contributions. I will submit to the emperor and give you a great favor."

Zhang Xiu sat down and affirmed the guard work of Min Chun, Yang Qiu and others, and planned to reward him.

The rest of the people suddenly showed joy, and Min Chun's blood was boiling. His face turned red and his ears were equatorial: "Ming Gong, thank you for your kindness. But we were in Anding County and lost all the counties outside Meiyang City, causing many people to die outside Meiyang City. We really had no face and accepted the rewards from the court."

Speaking of this, Min Chun told Zhang Xiu one by one.

Yang Qiu and other civil and military officials in Liangzhou immediately showed shame. Zhang Xiu was silent and sighed: "The Huns have been cruel since ancient times."

Then, Zhang Xiu suddenly raised his head and said, "The Southern Xiongnu should not continue to exist."

Everyone's hearts were moved.

After thinking for a while, Min Chun said to Zhang Xiu: "Ming Gong. Have we ever made any contributions and are willing to be punished. There is only one person, but I want to ask for a reward for him."

"Oh? Who?" Zhang Xiu couldn't help but be curious when he saw Min Chun's attitudes were different.

"It's the chief clerk Wu Yang." Min Chun told Zhang Xiu about the chief clerk Wu Yang with a loyal face. Zhang Xiu was silent for a moment, and then replied seriously: "I am a loyal and righteous person. I took the initiative and immediately posthumously awarded Wu Yang (posthumously titled) as the governor of Anding County, and was given the title of Marquis of Ting, and his descendants were inherited from generation to generation. Give the Wu family one million to hold a decent funeral for Wu Yang."

"Thank you, Mr. Ming." Min Chun immediately thanked.

Yang Qiu and others also quickly expressed their gratitude.

"Although Governor Min humbly said that he had martial arts, in my opinion you have made merits and no faults. But if you are unwilling to accept the reward, I will not say more. This battle of peace will be considered as if you have no faults and no faults."

Zhang Xiu put an end to the merits and demerits of the civil and military officials in Liangzhou such as Min Chun and Yang Qiu.

Min Chun, Yang Qiu and others naturally expressed their gratitude.

In this way, the affairs of Anding County ended here. Later, the resettlement, development and restoration of the people in Anding County were all the affairs of the Liangzhou Governor's Governor's Office.

"I heard what Ming Gong meant just now. The army would continue to attack Beidi County to the north?" Fa Zheng bowed and asked.

All the civil and military officials showed attention.

Beidi County has been controlled by the Huns for many years, plus Shuofang County, Jiuyuan County, Shang County, etc. The Huns occupied the Hetao area and continued to go south to invade the territory of the Han Dynasty.

The border troubles have been around for many years.

This is the same as the Qiang people, the Wuhuan people and the Xianbei people who have become more powerful recently, and it is a border trouble for generations of the Han Dynasty.

It would be a big deal if Beidi County could be recaptured in one fell swoop.

Zhang Xiu nodded first, then shook his head, and smiled: "The army will repair it in Meiyang City for a day. Tomorrow, we will set out for Beidi County. This time we will no longer travel day and night, but will go upright. I will not only regain Beidi County, but also Shangjun, Shuofang County, Jiuyuan County, Yunzhong County, and set up Shuofang Governor's Department for management."

"I also want to destroy the Southern Xiongnu. They were either killed or obeyed the management of the Han Dynasty. They spoke Chinese language and performed Han rituals, and changed customs and customs just like I treated the Qiang people in Lueyang County."

Speaking of this, Zhang Xiu sneered.

Of course it is best to do it.

But can it be done?

Everyone showed a look of worry, and Xun You bowed and said, "My Lord Ming is very ambitious, I really admire him. But the Huns are nomadic. If our army arrives in the Hetao area, the Huns will go far north in fear. They will become a real concern. Their population and tens of thousands of cavalry will probably go south year by year. The court needs great strength to defend the Hetao area."

Everyone nodded together.

Zhang Xiu laughed and said, "I have my own way to destroy the Huns."

Everyone couldn't help but want to say something, but when they saw that Zhang Xiu had made a decision and was full of energy, they didn't say anything else. The matter was settled.

............

The "King of Han" still felt that it was insufficient to defeat the Huns and wanted to go north to open up and expand territory.

Hua Xiong, Zhang Xiu, and Dian Wei's army repaired in Meiyang City for a day. Early the next morning, they sent troops north. However, this time, they no longer traveled day and night, but instead marched in the daytime.

In the war outside Meiyang City, Hua Xiong killed Zuoxian King Yu Luosang and killed more than half of the Hun cavalry.

Beidi County has always been controlled by Yu Luosang. With these Hun cavalry fled back to Beidi County, and when he heard that Zhang Xiu had gone north, he immediately fled Beidi County like a dog who was stranded, taking the old and helping the young.

When Zhang Xiu arrived in Beidi County, only Han people were left in the area, and there was no one Huns.

The capital of Beidi County is Fuping County. I don’t know how many Han people there are in Beidi County. However, Zhang Xiu had read the information before. During his heyday, there were about 100,000 people in Beidi County.

In its heyday, Nanyang County had a population of millions.

This kind of border county has always had a small population.

These places include Shangjun, Shuofangjun, Yunzhongjun and Jiuyuanjun. However, they require a large amount of troops to defend, which consumes a lot of money, grain and energy.

Therefore, Emperor Xuan of Han asked the Huns to guard the Hetao area and serve as the eyes and spies of the Han Dynasty in the north.

When Zhang Xiu led his troops to Fuping County, he saw a dilapidated city wall. Of course, there were no county magistrates or officials in the city.

He only saw some elders looking forward to the wind.

Zhang Xiu turned over and dismounted, and under Dian Wei's protection, he came to the city gate to see these elders.

"But Grand Sima Minggong is in front?" An old man who seemed to be very famous bowed and bowed to Zhang Xiu.

"It's just Gu. Sir?" Zhang Xiu asked very politely.

"The villain is Li Sheng. Because the people in charge of the city used to follow the Huns. The villain was elected to meet the Grand Sima."

Li Sheng was very humble and called himself a villain.

Zhang Xiu nodded, then smiled and said, "The old man will be the magistrate of Fuping County from now on."

"Uh!!" Li Sheng was stunned.

Immediately, Zhang Xiu asked his personal soldiers to take over the city and led civil and military officials and Li Sheng into a large mansion in the city.

Zhang Xiu looked up and asked Li Shengdao: "Mr. Li County. Do you know how many Han people are still there in Beidi County now?"

"It will not exceed 20,000 people." Li Sheng still felt like he was in a dream, but his answer was very fast.

Zhang Xiu sighed. A county had a population of only 20,000, which shows how cruel the Huns had reached.

Zhang Xiu then glanced at the civil and military officials, and finally fell on Meng Gongwei. He said, "Gongwei. I said I would set up a governor of Shuofang before, but I didn't say the candidate. Now I will be outside and act cheaply. I will temporarily order you to be the governor of Shuofang. Together with Magistrate Li, you will recruit talents in the county first and build a governor's department."

Meng Gongwei was a little surprised, but he was more excited and eager to try.

"No." He replied with a loud bang.

Although this so-called Shuofang Governor is a desolate place, even more desolate than Liangzhou, it is very easy to achieve success.

His talent is good, he is ambitious in the officialdom, so he naturally accepts this opportunity happily.

"Da Sima, now the Beidi County has been restored. Should he go north immediately and attack the royal court set up by the Huns in Hetao?"

Ju Su asked with his hands.

Zhang Xiu shook his head gently and glanced at Xun You who was silent. He said, "As Wen Ruo said, I have killed Zuo Xian King Yu Luosang, and the Huns knew that they were not my opponent. When they learned that I was attacking their royal court, they would run away to Mobei. At that time, there will be endless troubles."

"The Shuofang Governor's Department has no population, and I also need the power of the Huns to defend it here."

Everyone was puzzled when they heard this. They continued to send troops to the north and were afraid that the Huns would run away. If they did not send troops to the north, they would not be able to surrender to the Huns.

How to advance and retreat?

Zhang Xiu already had a world in his heart, and he looked up and said to Zhuge Jin: "Ziyu, you go to the royal court to see the Huns Shanyu Huchuquan. He said that I had no intention of going north. It was just that Yu Luosang did too much. Now that I have arrived in Beidi County, I cannot return empty-handed, and he must pay the price."

Speaking of this, Zhang Xiu looked around at everyone, no longer hid, and said with a smile: "We will find a way to trick the Xiongnu Shanyu Huchuquan and take the opportunity to seize him. Then send troops north and capture all the Xiongnu nobles in one place."

"Change customs and customs, we must start with the system of the Huns. They can no longer rule by tribes. They must accept the jurisdiction of Han county magistrates and become farmers who plow the fields."

"The Hetao place not only has abundant water and grass, but also fertile land, and is very suitable for farming."

"promise."

All the smart people present immediately understood Zhang Xiu’s intention and couldn’t help but respond.

Zhang Sheng, the magistrate of Fuping County, showed even more joy. Sima Zhang was indeed both wise and brave, and he considered everything.

It would be great if the Huns could be destroyed and the Han people regained the Hetao area.

Thinking of the tragic situation of the Han people under the rule of the Huns over the past few decades, Zhang Sheng couldn't help but blush his eyes.

The court is incompetent and has the ability. The difference between the two is too big.
