Chapter 925 Returned
Niyang City is neither high nor big.
When Fu Zuan led the people closer to the city, he looked up and sighed quietly.
Some members of the Fu family are serving as officials in Chang'an, but they are all minor officials of the fifth and sixth grades, two in total.
There were also brothers Fu Chang and Fu Xuan serving as officials in the Jin Dynasty.
Of course there are people in Jianye, currently there is only one, the second brother Fu Zuan, but I heard that the nephews have reached the age of serving as officials, and they are already looking for someone to flatter them. I believe they will be able to get a low-level staff member in a while.
But Fu’s family business is still in the North.
Fu Zuan's grandmother Du Shi and mother Wei Shi, as you can tell from their family names, they are both from Guanzhong's wealthy families. Their relationship is intricate and they are married to each other to protect and help each other.
Even if the Huns wanted to deal with them, they had the ability to bargain when faced with a tricky situation that could affect the whole body.
If the Huns didn't care about the damage, of course they could kill the powerful people like them, but why bother? Kill us, and you will not have enough talents to serve as officials to help you manage your internal affairs. At the same time, you will lose people's hearts and your foundation will be unstable.
It's okay when nothing happens, but once you encounter a headwind situation, you'll know it's awesome.
So, why don’t we all sit down and talk. Whatever you want, I'll think about it and see if I can give it to you.
In addition, you should also restrain yourself. Even if you are the emperor, I will give you face, but you should not be shameless. This is not an era when the emperor always sticks to his words and says the same thing.
So, in the end, this is often the situation: local governments completely rely on the autonomy of large ethnic groups.
Don’t be afraid of losing face, it was like this in the Later Han Dynasty, and it is perfectly justified.
Fu Zuan came all the way to the outside of Niyang County. The soldiers on the top of the city saw it and immediately saluted: "Mr. Fu."
"Open the door." Fu Zuan said loudly without any nonsense.
The soldier was a little embarrassed and said: "Mr. Fu, the prince has issued an order that martial law must be enforced during the day, but it cannot be opened."
"Can it be opened?" Fu Zuan glared. , asked: "Where is Lord Liu Fu? Where have you gone?"
"There are Xianbei people in Fuping plundering everywhere, and Lord Fu has gone to invite troops." A small colonel at the top of the city answered.
"Whose troops are you inviting?"
"Jin's cavalry."
"Brother Jin Zhun's?"
"Yes, Jin Zhun is in Zheng County, Jin Ming In Chang'an, Jin Kang is in command now."
"Open the door!" Fu Zuan waved his hand and said.
The people at the top of the city looked at each other. After weighing the pros and cons, the door reluctantly opened.
Fu Zhun didn't send anyone to test him, and just relied on Dadi to ride forward - of course, you can also say that he was confident.
He was followed by more than a thousand people, and they quickly drove into the city.
Without any embarrassment, Fu Zuan went straight to the prefect's mansion and sat down in the courtyard under the surprised and fearful eyes of everyone.
After a while, more than ten military academies and officials rushed over.
Fu Zuan looked up and said to someone among them: "Chen Hu, in the past your father sold cattle and sheep and were robbed by thieves. Who helped him get the cattle and sheep back in the end?"
"Yes?" Mr. Fu," said the warrior wearing a helmet.
Fu Zuan nodded.
In fact, that matter didn't take much effort. The Fu family knew what happened on the border of Beidi County after a little inquiry, and then sent people to ask for it. With Fu's face, it was easy.
Chen Hu's father received this favor, otherwise their family would have been doomed long ago, and Chen Hu would never have grown up, and would have probably been sold into slavery by his creditors.
"When you go to Xiaoyu's tent to serve the soldiers, you will say that you will no longer work for the Xiongnu Emperor, but now you will only serve under the orders of the Liang King of the Jin Dynasty." Fu Zuan glanced at Chen Hu and said matter-of-factly.
Chen Hu hesitated for a moment and asked: "Do you want to surrender to Jin?"
"This is called 'returning to justice'." Fu Zuan corrected him and then asked: "You Never obey orders?"
"I will obey Duke Fu's orders," Chen Hu replied.
Fu Zuan looked at the other person again and said: "Zhendao, as you are the county magistrate, how about you send officials to write a message of return to justice and list it on the important roads?"
When the county magistrate Li Zao heard this, he bowed and said, "How could I get an official position without the first Secretary (Fu Xian)? Today is the time to repay my kindness."
He was appointed by the Huns. An old official of the Jin Dynasty, he was originally a county magistrate in Fufeng, but now he is a Niyang magistrate.
Ms. Fu asked him to do it anyway, and he didn’t hesitate much. Because Ming Fu was taking greater risks in this matter, and they weren’t afraid, what was he afraid of? The wealth of your family can be determined here.
"Bu Si, you are a Huns and it is easy to be trusted. Go and spread false news to deceive Jin's troops." Fu Zuan said again.
“Yes.”
Fu Zuan called a few more people's names and arranged various matters. Then he stood up and said: "Niyang is guarded, don't take it lightly. I will go to Fuping and recruit a few tribes."
Beidi County is not big, but it is not small either, but there are only two counties. , there are many open spaces in the countryside, and many tribes are arranged there.
In addition to the Jin clan Xiongnu, there are also some old Xiongnu tribes.
What is "Old Huns"? In fact, it was the Huns who grazed here before Liu Cong and Liu Can and their sons entered Guanzhong.
In terms of close relationship, they are closer to the Xiongnu tribe in Henan than to the five Xiongnu tribes in Bingzhou.
After Liu Can entered Guanzhong, he vigorously tried to win over the Xiongnu tribes who had long lived here, but later found that there was really not much sense of identity between the two parties. To put it bluntly, these old Huns in Guanzhong may identify more with Liu Hu, the leader of the Tiefu Huns, and the Dugu tribe of Tuoba Xianbei. They are really not familiar with you.
Who is Tu Gexiao'er? The bloodline is not as pure as that of brothers Liu Hu and Liu Lugu.
In the end, Liu Can could only treat them as Diqiang, Xianbei, Jin and Jie people, but not as his confidants.
The Fu family has a very close relationship with these tribes. Under Xiao Yi's righteousness, the possibility of success is not small.
He now really wanted to see whether King Liang would be overjoyed after making such a great contribution - uh, or was he frightened?
Probably not.
If you don’t have the ability to influence officials and generals and change the color of one or several counties, can you still call it a wealthy family?
Starting from the eighth day of July, for several days, there were constant exchanges of feathers from all over Beidi County.
Niyang and Fuping counties successively removed the "Han" flag and replaced it with the "Jin" flag, which immediately changed their colors.
Some officials and generals who were still loyal to the Xiongnu were killed for no apparent reason - some of them may have been unjustly accused, but which temple doesn't have those who died unjustly? The only fault is that you reacted too slowly. The brothers want to borrow your head as a way to advance.
Jin Kang still had some brains. He keenly sensed something was wrong. He guarded his door and fought with the Xianbei people who came to plunder. He won first and then lost, so he fled far away to settle down.
The Fuping tribe who was instigated by Fu Zuan officially raised their rebel flag, gathered seven or eight thousand cavalry, and headed towards Chang'an to attack the Huns stationed in Huangbaicheng.
For Liu Can, the hinterland of Guanzhong is leaking everywhere and is getting worse.
******
Outside Pingyang City, Liang Fen, the Minister of Civil Service, and Fu Xuan, the wine-sacrifice winemaker from the East Pavilion of the General's Mansion, boarded the carriage and headed south to Pujin Pass.
The changing situation of the battle is dizzying.
Not to mention ordinary people, senior officials like them did not expect that the situation would change so quickly.
It's ridiculous that some wealthy families thought that King Liang was in a quagmire and had no time to care, so they raised a flag of rebellion.
There were rebellions in the four counties of Runan, Qiaoguo, Shunyang and Yiyang one after another, and they linked up with Wu soldiers.
However, after the Yinqian Zuoying and Fu soldiers quickly dispatched, they first repelled the Wu soldiers who were responding. The rebels quickly declined in strength and were soon besieged. They recruited young men from various counties to defeat them.
There was rebellion in only one county in Hebei, that is, Yangping County.
Prefect Shen Zhong put an end to the rebellion immediately, defeated the rebels at the foot of the county city, and then took advantage of the situation to cover up the killing and seize his manor.
This level of rebellion is really not worth mentioning.
Compared to the rebellion that swept through Hebei many years ago and was finally brutally wiped out by Li Chong, Liu Ling and others, the momentum was far behind.
Even the rebellion is so weak, it may be impossible to change the situation in the world.
"It's better to be careful when going to Guanzhong." Liang Fen looked at Fu Xuan who was sitting opposite and said, "Go and pay a visit to the Marquis Governor first, and then ask him to send an army to escort him. Leave Feng Yijun alone. Beidi County must persuade them to surrender."
"Yes," Fu Xuan said, cupping his hands.
"An Ding, I'll think of a way." Liang Fen said with a slight smile.
Anding County not only has the Liang family, but also the Huangfu family. These two families often have marriages and have a very close relationship.
Even now, there are still people from the Liang clan serving as officials and generals in the Xiongnu, such as Liang Xun, who was awarded the title of Marquis.
This man was originally a general of Sima Bao, King of Nanyang, and later surrendered as the governor of Longxi.
Liu Can moved more than 10,000 households from Longxi to live near Chang'an, and Liang Xun also came with him. During the reign of Emperor Wu Sima Yan, Longxi County only had 3,000 households of Hu and Han people. As a result, the Huns suddenly More than 10,000 households were forcibly relocated to Chang'an. I really don't know how this household registration was compiled. How many people in the world have figured it out?
By the way, Yan Ding was also an official in the Huns, and Liang Fen wanted to save him one last time and let him perform meritorious service, so as not to involve all the old and young people.
The situation in Kansai has actually been decided.
Every time he thought about this, Liang Fen couldn't help but smile, the world was at peace.
"Ming Gong." Fu Xuan interrupted Liang Fen's thoughts and said: "After capturing Guanxi, how will King Liang treat the Xizhou scholars?"
Liang Fen thought about it. After thinking about it, he said: "The situation in Xizhou is complicated, so we may try to calm it down first."
"What does it mean to calm it down?" Fu Xuan asked.
"The main thing is to appease people's hearts." Liang Fen said: "I expect that King Liang will only take drastic measures after he ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor."
Fu Xuan nodded silently.
Liang Fen glanced at him and said: "Don't think too much. King Liang does things in a measured way and will not mess around. Besides, he is the master of the foundation, so he will definitely think about removing the old and installing the new. . ”
You still expect the emperor of Shoucheng to be able to do things that the founding emperor couldn’t do?
The simplest thing is that the founding emperor can still make them loyal and loyal even if he damages his own basic interests to a certain extent. It is impossible for the established emperor to do this.
It's not that the Lord Shoucheng is not capable enough, but that he has no process of conquering the world and cannot establish that kind of supreme prestige. This is also the reason why the reforms in the late dynasty were difficult to succeed and the last emperor could not continue the reign of Zuo - he did not have enough prestige to break free from the shackles of the bureaucrats' "negative assets" and could only be dragged down by them in the end.
Once Shao Xun becomes emperor, he will definitely start going south to Jiangdong, and then slowly start farming outside the twenty counties of Liang State.
If these things are left to future generations to do, they will definitely fail halfway and even cause chaos in the world.
Some missions are destined to be completed only by the founding king, and he knows this very well.
“Let’s finish the things in front of us first. This mess has been in a mess for more than 20 years, and finally someone came forward to clean it up.” Liang Fen smiled and said.
Fu Xuan also had a smile on his face.
It has actually been more than thirty years since the Qi Wannian Rebellion began. The north will eventually be unified, which is really not easy.
