Chapter 928 Going south and meeting (Part 2)
On the fifth day of August, the army marched to the bank of Sheyan River.
Up to here, it is mostly hilly and mountainous areas. Although the Qinzhi Road was accessible, it was not easy to walk due to its long disrepair, so Shao Xun ordered to stop and rest for two days. He took the opportunity to meet with chiefs from various places.
There is a Xiongnu military base here, called "Fusu Fort". It is surrounded by stone cliffs and the mountain is very dangerous.
The city is not big, with a circumference of no more than five miles. It is named after Fusu Tomb and Mengtian Tomb nearby.
There were seven to eight hundred households of soldiers and civilians in the fort, half Di Qiang and half Xiongnu. Because the situation was over, they surrendered.
Shao Xun ordered a county to be established here, named "Sui De County", under the jurisdiction of Diaoyin County.
This county governs four counties: Fushi (now Yuhebao, Yulin), Suide (now Suide), Yangzhou (Yangqiaopan Town, Jingbian County), and Sheyan (Baichengzi, Hongdunjie Township, Jingbian County). Apply to treat skin.
The south of Diaoyin is still Shangjun, with jurisdiction over Gaonu (now Yan'an), Pingdu (near today's Zichang City), Dingyang (southeast of Yan'an, between Yanchang and Yichuan, where Zahu live), Ganquan (now County, because There are beautiful springs in the south of the city (named after it) and Zhilu (now Fuxian County), which govern Gaonu.
At this point, the division of Shangjun was completed.
The twelve counties of Xinqin, Diaoyin and Shang were basically abandoned during the Eastern Han Dynasty. Now they are all inhabited by barbarians. It will not be easy to restore them.
Shao Xun met with the chieftains in the newly established Suide County. In addition to the Xiongnu, Xianbei (remnants of Bai Xianbei), Di Qiang, and many miscellaneous people came.
These bastards can no longer figure out their ethnic origins, they are more like a big string of bloodlines. Not to mention the Jin Dynasty, the Xiongnu didn't even know what they were, but they were still very large in number. In the end, they simply named them after regions, such as "Dingyang Hu" - there was a similar phenomenon in Xihe County across the river, such as "Shi Louhu".
"I returned from Luoyang in the past and killed Lu Zhuyan. Who are you?" Shao Xun looked at a man named "Lu Zhuqian" and asked.
"Uncle," Lu Zhuqian replied.
Shao Xun nodded and asked: "Where did Xianbei from Shangjun come from?"
"This is the Han Bai tribe in Xianbei." Lu Zhuqian said: "At that time, he was stationed in Taiyuan, and later moved to various places."
"I lived in Taiyuan during the Han Dynasty..." Shao Xun was speechless after hearing this.
"In the past, when Tuoba's power was weak, he went to the western suburbs of Shengle to worship heaven. The nobles of the Bai tribe were unwilling to bow their heads, so they conquered the tribes of the Huimeng and dispersed in various places. The Lu Zhu family was in charge of four tribes and lived in Shangjun for generations." Lu Zhuqian Said: "The Lu Zhu family and the Tuoba family are incompatible. Now I would like to serve the King of Liang as the master. I would like to be the vanguard in conquering Tuoba in the future."
"Hey -" Shao Xun stretched out his hand to stop Lu Zhuqian.
Don't say anything that is not conducive to unity. Didn't you see that the nobles from Tuoba Xianbei's second batch of reinforcements were also present?
Yilou Chinu, who had recruited more than 4,000 horses to go south, was indeed present at this time. After hearing Lu Zhuqian's words, he sneered.
Sheng Le worships heaven. There are seven wooden tablets on the altar, representing the seven brother tribes except the Tuoba clan. Yilou is one of them.
The ten surnames of Tuoba are the same ancestors. Yi Zhan and Che Kun are not qualified to be on the altar. What kind of wild dog is Lu Zhushi?
Of course he knew that Baibu was extremely powerful when it was at its peak and was the hidden leader of the Xianbei tribes, but that was all in the past many years ago. Nowadays, Baibu and Xianbei are scattered, and the most famous one is the Lu Zhu clan. But he controls four tribes, totaling tens of thousands of people.
Since the war for the Xiongnu, these four troops have suffered heavy losses, and now they can be considered powerful if they have 30,000 people.
"Why conquer Tuoba?" Yao Yizhong said from the side: "The enemy of the king is Liu Can. You should use all your troops to attack Chang'an."
Pu Hong couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
He can't stand Yao Yizhong anymore. The smell is too strong and the strength is too strong. How shameless?
After listening to Yao Yizhong's words, Lu Zhuqian turned around and saluted Shao Xun, saying: "Your Majesty, I would like to lead three thousand cavalry and five thousand infantry to the south to attack Chang'an."
"Yes." Shao Xun approved.
These are all things you bring your own dry food, recruit your own troops, and fight on your own without you paying a penny. It’s completely free. Of course, nothing is truly free in the world. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, there were many people who brought their own dry food to fight for the monarch. It doesn't cost the monarch any money, the price is to acquiesce in their status as a local emperor.
Lu Zhuyan had tens of thousands of tribesmen, living between Shangjun and Diaoyin. In his early years, he had defected to Liu Yuan and had a good relationship with the Di and Qiang of Shangjun. However, they later became frustrated by the Xiongnu regime.
Shao Xun had never heard of the name Lu Zhushi in later generations.
Among the Xianbei tribes, the Zheju, Yifu and other clans in Hexi all had a place in the Northern Wei Dynasty. However, the Baibei Xianbei, who had been taught a lesson by Tuoba Liwei and Tuoba Yilu, eventually disappeared in the long river of history. middle.
It can be seen that the Tuoba family hates them and wants to kill them quickly, just like they did to the Murong family.
The people Tuoba clan hates have united front value in themselves, but this is not enough to be respected by outsiders.
After waving Lu Zhuqian to sit back, Shao Xun looked at Shan Zhi, Shan Liang and his son, and said: "The Tuge family is really at a loss for the Shan family."
At this point, he stood up, sighed, and said: "In the past, Liu Yuanhai and I were on good terms and we cherished each other. However, Liu Cong and Liu Can were disobedient to human ethics, insane, abandoned the teachings of their ancestors, and acted violently in the country."< br>
Having said this, he looked at Shan Zhi and said, "In Yongjiazhong, I came back from Luoyang to rescue Yu Yan. When I passed through Chenggao, I met Shan Zhenxi, but we just met Shan Zhi. How is he now?"
< br>
"He has been dead for three years." Shan Zhi replied: "On the day Uncle Cong died, he hated marrying the wrong woman, hated Liu Cong for not keeping his word, and hated Liu Can for being cruel and unkind."
"Old friends are gradually withering away." Shao Xun sighed: "Do you want to take revenge on the Huns?"
When Shan Zhi heard this, he immediately fell down and kowtowed: "Please give me the order, your Majesty."
"Feng Yi and the Di and Qiang people in Shangjun still respect the Shan family. Now they can lead their troops and march to Chang'an. If they have military exploits, why should I begrudge the post of Diaoyin Prefect?"
"I obey." Shan Zhi bowed again. "Quickly command the troops and horses." Shao Xun waved his hand and said. After speaking, he looked at Lu Zhuqian and said, "You should also send troops."
"As ordered." Shan Zhi and Lu Zhuqian responded in unison.
"Well -" After Shao Xun finished speaking, he paused and asked: "Who is now in charge of the Di Qiang's march westward from Feng Yi?"
"Your Majesty, this is a powerful man who has eliminated power." Yang Man said: "He is arrogant and does not know the future. When he heard that the Huns were defeated, he incited Feng Yi and Shangjun Di Qiang to rebel. He gathered 50,000 people and called himself the 'King of Qin'. He was marquised The superintendent reprimanded me, and then I took off my title.”
"The soldiers he gathered are still under his command." Shao Xun said: "The soldiers gathered by the Shan family are still led by the Shan family."
At the same time, I was a little surprised.
There are so many Diqiang in Shangjun and Feng Yi.
To put it simply, these Di Qiang were mainly distributed in Weinan, Yan'an and Tongchuan in later generations. They were also found in the Yulin area in the north, but less.
Fifty thousand soldiers often correspond to a population of more than 200,000, among which Feng Yi should account for the majority, around hundreds of thousands.
But not all the Di Qiang in the three places followed the Xuchu clan. There must be some rebels. It is shocking to think about it.
"Your Majesty!" Seeing that Shao Xun was silent, Yao Yizhong strode forward and said sincerely: "I am willing to lead eight thousand Fufeng Qiang soldiers to attack the Xiongnu."
"Your Majesty!" Pu Hong stepped forward and said, "I have 10,000 Di soldiers, and I can take Liu Can's head."
"Your Majesty!" The nobles from Xianbei and Wuhuan tribes also asked for battle.
When Shao Xun saw it, he turned to look at Zhang Bin and said, "Meng Sun, how many elite soldiers and generals do I have under my command?"
Zhang Bin also smiled and said: "Your Majesty obeys the orders of heaven, and people from far and near come to vote for him. This is heaven."
Shao Xun laughed and said: "Quickly seize Chang'an for me. You are all heroes in this world. What's the point of living in a remote place in a poor country? After you have made great achievements, you can follow me to Luoyang and Bianliang, and you will be rich and wealthy."

When Liang Fen arrived in Anding, it was already the eighth day of August.
On this day, Peng Tianhu, the leader of Lu Shuihu and the governor of Liangzhou in Han Dynasty, heard that Liang Fen came home and came to visit him personally.
Two days later, Lu Shuihu dispatched more than ten thousand cavalry and headed down the Jing River towards Chang'an.
Along the way, we encountered several groups of Huns.
These people only defended Yingcheng and did not fight Lu Shuihu, nor did they obey Liu Can's orders to go eastward.
Of course, there were still quite a lot of Xiongnu tribes traveling eastward, mainly the tribes of the Laotu clan, and they all converged near Chang'an.
Guanzhong is already in a state of excitement.
The fighting in Anding, Lueyang, Nan'an, Fufeng, and Xinping counties suddenly became intense.
Most of the Han people's aristocratic families would kill Xiongnu officials anyway, and the Hu people did not hesitate to make more concessions.
Many of the Di, Qiang, Ba, and Jie counties were forcibly moved by Liu Can from the land of Qinlong. Of course, some came on their own initiative, or had lived in Guanzhong for several generations. They still had tribal habits, with men with big hair and ten All the people aged five and above were dispatched, armed with wooden spears, and gathered more than 300,000 soldiers (corresponding to a population of more than one million Hu people) to fight with the Huns scattered in various places.
After taking revenge, they gathered in Chang'an happily with Hou Feihu's temporary official body.
Guanzhong under Liu Can's rule was like a powder keg, exploding immediately.
Of course, it wouldn't be much better if someone else came to rule. There are more than one million barbarians in Guanzhong, with many ethnic groups and many conflicts. They are really a powder keg.
It is not without reason that Shao Xun proposed that "Yi and Xia are both safe". He just recognized the reality and knew that since the mines were planted in the Later Han Dynasty, the barbarians have multiplied to this day. There are too many people and they cannot be killed at all. They can only be suppressed and appeased.
Moreover, due to climate reasons, surrounding tribes continue to move south and east, increasing the overall number of Hu people...
By mid-August, there were almost no organized Huns troops in the counties outside Chang'an, and they had all retreated inside and outside Chang'an City.
The most frightening thing is that even the outside of Chang'an City is not safe, because Liu Can forcibly moved many thorns who were unwilling to obey him to settle near Chang'an. Almost all of these people rebelled. During the Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties, Liu Cong and Liu Can , Shi Le, Shi Hu and even Fu Jian and others like to move the Thorny tribe to the capital.
August 15th, the night of the full moon.
On this day, Shao Xun followed the Qin Straight Road, crossed many mountains, and arrived in the northern part of Feng Yi County.
Liu Can climbed up to the city and looked out, tears streaming down his clothes.
Di, Qiang, Ba, Jie, Xiongnu, Xianbei, Lushui Hu and even various miscellaneous Hu whose origins are unknown were all stationed around Chang'an under the orders of Jin general Hou Feihu.
As for the elite soldiers in Chang'an City who are truly capable of fighting, they are only six thousand guards and three to four thousand remnants of the Forbidden Army.
His reign may have come to an end.
