Wang Miaoyin smiled slightly: "Actually, this is not a bad thing for us, because Qiu Chi has been a mortal enemy of Western Qin since the founding of the country. Yang Ding himself and Fu Chong died in the war with Western Qin. It can be said that there is a blood feud. Western Qin is
Liangzhou is the weakest among the kingdoms, just like Xiliang. It was even destroyed for a time, but later resurrected. They have always had a good relationship with the Later Qin Dynasty, and they have worked for it since the time of Yao Chang.
, and has always wanted to use the power of Hou Qin to annex and destroy Qiu Chi."
"After Yao Xing was defeated by Hu Xia many times and was unable to capture the land of Liangzhou, he also had other ideas and wanted to annex Qiuchi. The year before last, he personally went on a military expedition to attack Qiuchi, but was defeated by Qiuchi.
I almost died on the battlefield. After this battle, the power of Qiu Chi Kingdom was greatly shaken. Even many tribes in Hanzhong took the initiative to join them. In the past, we gave Qiu Chi Gong Yang Sheng the governor of Liangzhou, but it was just a false position.
It’s just status, but now they can really control a lot of territory in Hanzhong.”
Liu Yu smiled and said: "But Nanzheng, the seat of Hanzhong, I remember that since we evacuated Liangzhou after the Qiaoshu Rebellion, it has been abandoned. Isn't it unoccupied?"
Wang Miaoyin shook her head: "After all, we are Han people, mainly farming. In the past, there were thousands of Han military households around Nanzheng, and their families made a living by farming around the city. As the garrison withdrew and the officials left, these soldiers
The households have all moved away, the land has been abandoned, and naturally there is no one living in the city."
"In the mountains and fields in other parts of Hanzhong, there are Di people and Qiang tribes. They are nomadic, or rely on the mountains to eat. They are not much engaged in farming, so they do not need to occupy the Nanzheng land. It can be said that these
Over the years, the Hanzhong government has been abandoned, and the barbarian tribes everywhere have established themselves. Most of them only obey orders from Qiuchi in name, just like Qiuchi obeys us in name. These situations are just a few years of tribute paid by Qiuchi envoys.
It was only told to us once, but the specific facts still need to be investigated by multiple parties."
Liu Yu curled his lips: "I asked Fatty to check here several times, and the situation is similar to what you said. There are more than forty tribes scattered throughout the Hanzhong area, mainly Di people. Sometimes these tribes also marry each other, and sometimes
They attack each other, and Qiu Chi, as the co-leader, sometimes mediates or intervenes in their fights. There are many mountains there and there are no large grasslands, so the Xianbei tribes in Hexi in the north or the mountain tribes in Western Qin don't pay much attention to this place.
I'm very interested, but the Hanzhong area is an important place connecting Guanzhong and Bashu. If we really want to destroy Qiaoshu in the future, or even march into Guanzhong, we have to find a way to capture this place."
Wang Miaoyin nodded: "So our sending Sima Xiuxi back is just an introduction. It is just a way to get in touch with the Di people in Hanzhong and Qiu Chi Gong Yang Sheng. Since they have not had contact with the same people in the Dabie Mountains for so many years, they are the same.
Mo Lu, there is no need to take in such a boy, because they still have to bear the responsibility of guarding him. If Sima Xiuxi runs away, or even someone raises troops in his name, then they will also have to bear the responsibility of rebellion.
As for the crime. With Di's character, the most likely result is that they simply killed the child to save trouble."
Liu Yu frowned: "This goes against our original intention. We didn't send Sima Xiuxi away just because we didn't want to bear the infamy of killing children. I just hope that he can change his surname and live as an ordinary member of the Di tribe for the rest of his life.
To live with an identity, abandoning the identity of the son of Sima Yuanxian, it is best to make him believe that he is just an ordinary child in the Di tribe, used by bad people to deceive him into having the identity of the prince of Kuaiji, but in fact he is just an ordinary child.
He is just an illegitimate son of ordinary Di people. Now that his parents are gone, only the clansmen in his hometown are willing to accept him, and he can only live as an ordinary clansman there."
Wang Miaoyin said calmly: "I hope the Di people from Qiuchi can make him believe this. However, I have to send several families of secret guards to monitor him all the time, and before he reaches adulthood, the chief of the tribe who took him in must do his best."
To take care of him, you can't really treat him like an ordinary slave. After all, he has no parents, and it is impossible to survive without the care and support of others. Therefore, Brother Yu, we have to give people enough benefits.
"
Liu Yu nodded: "There won't be much benefit from being raised by Sima Xiuxi. I heard what you said, but I want to make friends with Qiu Chigong Yang Sheng. In the future, I will return to Hanzhong and cut off the connection between Later Qin and Qiao Shu.
Now I have to make arrangements early. This time I can send an envoy to Qiuchi after the war is over, and then use the name of escorting the envoy to send more than a thousand soldiers and horses to occupy Nanzheng County and re-establish a foothold in the Hanzhong area.
A nail!"
Wang Miaoyin shook her head: "Send troops to Hanzhong now, unless you are already ready to destroy Qiao Shu and have made preparations. I think it is too early. After all, the Hanzhong area is now under no one's control, and all the Di people are here."
Tribes live and die on their own, and if someone regains control of Nanzheng, they may first be attacked by these Di tribes."
Liu Yu frowned: "How dare they do this? Didn't they take refuge in Qiu Chi, and they were nominally subjects of the Jin Dynasty?"
Wang Miaoyin sighed: "How can these barbarians pay attention to their status? They only value their strength. If they were so obedient, they would not attack each other. Even in the past, when Mao Qiu was the governor of Liangzhou and the governor of Hanzhong, his biggest task was
It is not to attack the Qin State, but to suppress the rebellious tribes everywhere and stabilize Hanzhong. In the eyes of these Di people, if our Jin army takes Nanzheng, they will be enemies. They want to ride on their heads and collect taxes and levy.
vampires, and if we don’t occupy Nanzheng, everything will be easy.”
Having said this, Wang Miaoyin raised her head and looked at Liu Yu: "Brother Yu, it is not easy to control others, enslave others, and rule others in this world, whether it is Han or Hu people. The Jin army re-entered the Hanzhong area.
This means that if you want to rule these tribes, they will definitely rise up and resist. This is why Yang Sheng has not sent troops into the Hanzhong area in recent years. In our current situation, even defending Jiankang is a problem. How can we have the troops to control it?
What about Hanzhong, thousands of miles away? I can only talk about it later.”
Liu Yu nodded: "You are right. These things can only be discussed after this battle is over. How will Sima Xiuxi be arranged and managed during this period?"
Wang Miaoyin's eyes flashed coldly: "Don't worry, I will personally manage this child until the war is over!"
