Chapter 488: Feishui (Part 2)
“These people came last year. In the battle of Huangbaicheng, the king’s army was defeated. After the war, the Huns wanted to settle old accounts. After the news spread, there was a leader from Wubao. Go south, leave Lantian and enter Nanyang." On the muddy field ridge, Liang Fen pointed to a fortress made of thick logs in the distance and said, "When I first came here, I was penniless and had a hungry look on my face. There was no food and grass in Lantian. When I asked them how to walk through the long Wuguan Road, they all said nothing."
Shao Xun understood.
In troubled times, anything tragic can happen. Some scars should not be uncovered anymore. People always have to look forward.
"Later Yao Yizhong marched eastward, expelled the local people, occupied all the fertile land and settled there. He called himself the Colonel of Huxi Qiang, the Governor of Yongzhou, and the Duke of Fufeng. He was quite humane and did not have a big business The killing." At this point, a wry smile appeared on Liang Fen's lips, and he continued: "The local officials and people had no choice, so they went eastward to ask for help, but no one paid attention. Frustrated and disappointed, some people came from Wuguan. Nanyang. Needless to say, there were many difficulties and obstacles during the journey. In the end, only five or six hundred families arrived in Shunyang. Shunyang Neishi Yang Zuyan gave them food and saved their lives. We are stationed here in Jieshui."
Yao Yizhong is the leader of Shaodang Qiang.
He led his troops eastward from the junction of Gansu and Qinghai, arriving all the way to Qianyang, Shaanxi, and settled there.
It can be said that they have migrated from the poor mountains and rivers to the relatively rich Guanzhong Plain.
For now, it seems that they are not brave enough and are still living in the northwest corner of the Guanzhong Plain. But as the situation develops, sooner or later they will be brave enough to continue eastward.
And this migration behavior is not limited to the Shaodang Qiang family.
In fact, the territory left by the Shaodang Qiang will soon be occupied by barbarians from the poorer mountains and rivers in the west.
After Wu Qian returned from Liangzhou, he told Shao Xun that many Jiehu tribes had moved to Wuwei in recent years, all from further west, and Zhang Gui reluctantly settled them.
But those people are restless and will migrate again at any time, leaving without even saying hello.
As for the direction of their migration, there is no doubt that it is the hinterland of the Jin Dynasty.
On the way back, Wu Qian and others arrived in Qinzhou and heard that there were Jie people newly migrating to Hanzhong. In history, six years later, during the Guanzhong Rebellion, "the Di, Qiang, Ba, and Jie people in the four mountains... There were more than 300,000 people who responded. There was great chaos in Guanzhong and the city gates were closed during the day. "
This news surprised Shao Xun.
Having not been to Guanzhong for almost ten years, it broke his cognition that white nomadic tribes like Jie had all migrated to Hanzhong.
He originally thought that the Jie people would only be in Bingzhou, but at the same time, he finally understood why the Hou Zhao regime of Shihu in later generations suddenly produced so many Jie people. In addition to indiscriminately issuing "identity cards", The migration of tribes eastward is also a big reason.
So he can understand Liang Fen's worries very well.
"There is still a war in Guanzhong, but I expect that all the princes will eventually be defeated one after another." Liang Fen added: "I know you want me to go to Guanzhong, but my family knows their own affairs, and I am not that big. I’m not that ambitious, even if I go to Guanzhong, people may not listen to me.”
At this point, he felt a little ashamed: "I don't want to tell lies. I am far inferior to you in resisting foreign aggression. You are ambitious, ambitious, ambitious, and have trained a strong army. The Yuyan gentry has no respect for you." With your full support, it is indeed possible to achieve success. Even if it doesn't work, we will be able to protect the east of Luoyang and the south of the river in the future, and we will continue to maintain our orthodoxy and continue our sacrifices."
Shao Xun listened patiently. , and did not interrupt.
“Many people underestimate the Xiongnu.” Liang Fen added: “It is true that when the Xiongnu fought against Xianbei, they suffered repeated defeats and did not win many battles. But why didn’t Xianbei directly rush into the hinterland of the Xiongnu and kill them? Destroyed? I don’t know what you think. As far as I know, Tuoba Xianbei actually died in many battles for Liu Kun in these years, and they were all strong warriors in the tribe. Although the Xiongnu suffered repeated defeats at the hands of Xianbei, I didn’t ask for any benefits.”
“Last year, Tuoba Yilu made Shengle the northern capital and Pingcheng the southern capital. To suppress it, command the people of Hu and Jin in the south. Tuoba has established a government system, which is similar to the founding of the country. With such ambitions, do you think he doesn't want to go south to Pingyang and Hedong to seize their sacred lands? It is impossible. They can't even do it. Xihe County cannot be captured, and the former army was defeated by Liu Cong. "
"The tribes in Hexi are close to Tuoba Xianbei, why do they not surrender to Xianbei but insist on surrendering to the Xiongnu? "
< br>"There are more than one million Hu and Han people in Guanzhong. Sooner or later they will be in the pocket of the Huns."
"Taibai, how do you plan to regain Guanzhong in the future?"
Shao Xun's heart moved, and finally Now to the point.
“We must first merge the state, and then attack Guanzhong.” Shao Xun said: “If we follow this strategy, we will gather all the Hu and Han people in the Bingzhou and divide the troops into two groups. One way will go down to Puban and enter Feng Yi; all the way into Hexi. Surrender the Hu troops and then drive the Hu troops from Hexi to the south. I will lead the troops from Wuguan to Lantian and the main force from Hongnong to Tongguan to attack."
"Oh? This is actually the plan!" Liang Fen was surprised.
The general Kwantung warlords, such as Cao Mengde, all marched westward from Tongguan and went straight to Chang'an.
Shao Xun thought this was not enough and wanted to detour to Hexi to surrender the local Hu people first and then drive his troops south.
With such pressure from all sides, the chance of victory is indeed greater, because Tongguan is difficult and dangerous, and a frontal attack may not be possible.
From Wuguan to Guanzhong, there is also Lantian Pass near Lantian, guarding the mountain path of Wuguan Lantian Road.
This man's ideas are so unconstrained and very bold.
It is generally difficult for Han warlords to take advantage of Hu people's territory. This man is really an anomaly.
"Actually, it may not be so troublesome." Shao Xun said with a smile: "If they can merge the state, the Xiongnu in Guanzhong will already be panicked and have little fighting spirit. Unless they move their capital to Chang'an, the key is to merge the state." Liang Fen pointed out He nodded and said: "It's exactly what you said. But - time is running out."
Shao Xun looked at Liang Fen and said, "If Mr. Liang helps me, we can get twice the result with half the effort." ."
Liang Fen smiled bitterly and said: "You are here with a lot of soldiers and armor, and you are brave and good at fighting. If I fight against you, I have no chance of winning. What's more, fighting with you will be painful in the end. We are still our own people.”
In fact, Liang Fen had considered the strategy Yan Ding mentioned before, but it was not feasible at all.
If he holds Wancheng, he can indeed resist for a long time with the strong city. But if Shao Xun breaks the pot, ignores the Xiongnu, and attacks him fiercely, he will first divide his troops to seize the forts where the refugees from Guanxi have settled, collect their young men, and then send them to attack the city...
Such a situation This is what Liang Fen doesn't want to see.
Besides, the aristocratic families in Nanyang and other counties do not want to see him, they will only support Shao Xun. In a more protracted war, he is no match for him. As long as he ignores the north and allows the Xiongnu to attack, Wancheng will be destroyed. There is no luck.
In such a situation, there is actually very little room for choice.
Not to mention, Liang Fenshi didn’t want to see the Kansai refugees he had painstakingly resettled suffer.
"How do you plan to arrange it for me?" Liang Fen asked after sighing.
"Gong Liang is a loyal elder and has the style of a benevolent man in ancient times. I don't want to force him too much." Shao Xun said, "If Duke Liang doesn't want to go to Guanzhong, he can join the court. If you are attached to Fang Fang, As an uncle, you can lead the governor of Jizhou or Qingzhou, how about it? "
Shao Xun is not giving him a high hat.
Liang Fen is indeed an elder.
He could have stayed in Nanyang and resisted, which would have cost him a few months at least. If he was unlucky, it would have been possible for him to spend more than half a year. Countless people were bound to die during this period, and even the troops he brought over would suffer many casualties.
"I think you have acted cautiously in the past. This time you brought troops to Nanyang, it is obvious that you are no longer afraid of the public opinion." Liang Fen sighed.
"The practices of the early years of Yongjia are the practices of the early years of Yongjia, and the practices of the eighth year of Yongjia are the practices of the eighth year of Yongjia." Shao Xun replied.
To put it bluntly, in the early years of Yongjia, I was really worried about the opinions of the people in the world, but now in the eighth year of Yongjia, I am no longer very worried.
However, having said that, he still perfected the procedures.
If we don’t use weapons, the bad effects will be controllable.
If you break up with Liang Fen and use weapons, it may cause more troubles. After all, other uncles are not dead, and the nobles in the world also have their own opinions.
Zhang Gui now dislikes him.
Sima Rui probably disliked him even more. He might one day issue a secret edict from the emperor, accuse him of being a traitor to the country, and call on all the heroes in the world to attack him.
"The common people of Guanxi in the counties of Mianbei..."
"Don't worry, Mr. Liang." Shao Xun said: "I will sit here for a period of time to mediate the disputes between residents and refugees. There are many things in the world, and we should tolerate each other for the sake of the country. There is no way to do this."
< br>"You can say that, I am a little relieved." Liang Fen's expression was a little desolate.
Shao Xun stayed with him, looking at the lush fields.
"What will you do after you bring peace to the Huns in the future?" Liang Fen suddenly asked after a long silence.
Shao Xun did not lie to him, and said directly: "I look at the ancient books, starting with Yao and Shun, and covering them with the canon of surrender, which hangs down to infinity. Therefore, I was granted the title of Mount Tai, and the Zen of Liangfu is a little bit enlightened. If you are the Seventy-Two Lords, you will know that the most powerful person in the world is not unique to one surname..."
Liang Fen nodded slightly, which was expected.
"I am a minister of the Jin Dynasty..." In the end, Liang Fen only said this sentence.
Shao Xun understood and said: "Xun Taijian (Xun Fan) has passed away. Can Mr. Liang join the court as Sikong?"
"This ending is quite decent." Liang Fen smiled bitterly. road.
Shao Xun was secretly relieved.
Like Cao Mengde, he captured Nanyang without any bloodshed. As long as there is no next program from Brother Meng De, Nanyang will be stable.
