Yongzhou, Feng Yi County.
The new Xiongnu emperor Liu Yao had just led his army to capture Feng Yi County.
After seeing the arrival of Liu Yao's army, the soldiers stationed in Feng Yi County quickly surrendered to Kaicheng without firing an arrow.
"Your Majesty, these are the accomplices of the traitor Jin Zhun in the city!"
The Huns general who surrendered in Kaicheng escorted several officials tied up and said to Liu Yao.
Liu Yao glanced contemptuously, and then asked.
"You are all Jin Zhun's clan, and you are all my subjects of the Huns. Why do you want to follow Jin Zhun in rebellion?"
The few members of Jin Zhun's clan were scared to death. They all knelt on the ground and begged for mercy with tears streaming down their cheeks.
Now when they heard Liu Yao's question, they immediately started shouting.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. All of this was done by that traitor Jin Zhun and has nothing to do with us."
"Yes, Your Majesty, none of this has anything to do with us. We didn't know that Jin Zhun did such a heartless and rebellious thing. I was coerced by her before."
"When I heard that Your Majesty crossed the river, I wanted to open the door and offer the city, but I was tied up by these people, which delayed my loyalty."
Liu Yao seemed dismissive of the words of these Jin Zhun tribe members.
However, he had other considerations and did not intend to kill them directly.
"Okay, if that's the case, then you are all my loyal ministers." Liu Yao asked.
"Yes, yes, you are a loyal minister, Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty is right, we are all loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty!"
"We are at odds with that traitor Jin Zhun, and we swear to be loyal to His Majesty to the death!"
Seeing the funny looks of these people, Liu Yao and the generals around him laughed heartily.
"Haha, okay! Since you are all loyal ministers, let me give you a chance to show off!"
Liu Yao continued.
"I heard that the guard at Tongguan is also a member of your Jin clan. Is this true?"
"Your Majesty is right, exactly."
"Then you go to Tongguan. If the guard can surrender to Kaicheng, not only will you not be held accountable for your crimes, but you will also be rewarded heavily!" Liu Yao said.
"The villain is willing to go and ensure that Tongguan falls without a fight!" a Jin family disciple shouted.
"I am also willing to go, and I will definitely not disappoint His Majesty!"
The other Jin family's children also started fighting for it.
Facing the fight of these people, the Xiongnu Emperor Liu Yao waved his hand and said.
"Okay, don't grab it. Everyone has a share. You all go together. If this happens, you will all be rewarded heavily. If it doesn't, then you can wait in Tongguan and massacre the city after I break it."
Under Liu Yao's intimidation, several Jin family members shouted and dared not do so.
After sending these people away, the generals around him were all puzzled.
"Your Majesty, didn't General Huyan just arrive at Tongguan? Why do you want to let these Jin family traitors go to persuade them to surrender? Aren't you afraid that they will run away?"
After Liu Yao heard it, he didn't care.
"I'm not afraid of them running away at all!"
"Haven't you heard that Jin Zhun ordered the massacre of our Huns inside and outside Chang'an, and all of them were rewarded with heavy rewards. In order to receive the rewards, those powerful people today don't care about the Xiongnu, Qianghu, or ordinary people, as long as they can Anyone caught will be killed."
"With just a few of these little Jin clan thieves, there is no way they would dare to escape except to Tongguan."
Everyone suddenly realized, and then someone asked again.
"Then why did Your Majesty ask Tongguan to surrender? Couldn't he wait for General Huyan to break the city? In this case, it would be too easy for the rebellious officials and traitors of the Jin family."
If Tongguan Kaicheng surrenders, then Liu Yao will definitely forgive their guilt, and at least spare their death.
The Xiongnu Emperor Liu Yao's face darkened at this time, and he said immediately.
"I have just received an urgent report that the Qingzhou bandits in Luoyang, Guandong, have been mobilized frequently, and the bandits from Jinyang and Hanoi have also been mobilized in large numbers. I must pacify Guanzhong as quickly as possible."
"Otherwise, once too much time passes, we will be completely in a dilemma."
Although Liu Yao has inherited the title of Emperor of the Huns, he has also surrendered many Huns soldiers and horses.
However, compared with the previous eras of Liu Yuan and Liu Cong, Liu Yao's emperor's gold content was greatly reduced.
Many Qiang and Hu servants had already fled northward after several civil strife in the Xiongnu and Han kingdoms.
Now the only troops Liu Yao has in his hands are the Huns in the Guanzhong area, and he really does not have the ability to support a two-front battle.
He had to calm down Guanzhong as soon as possible, and then he could free up his hands to defend Pingyang.
Otherwise, once there is a crisis on both sides, Liu Yao's situation will be extremely dangerous.
After occupying Feng Yi County, Liu Yao did not dare to stay.
Early the next morning, Liu Yao personally led the army to continue marching westward.
The powerful forts along the way kept a respectful distance from the passing Huns soldiers and horses, and no one came forward at all.
The purpose of Liu Yao's trip was not to these Wubao magnates, who were as numerous as miscellaneous fish, but to Jin Zhun of Chang'an City.
Therefore, apart from sending people to ask for some supplies of food and grass, Liu Yao did not ask for anything else excessive.
As he got closer to Chang'an, the Hun Emperor Liu Yao's mood became heavier and heavier, even angry.
On the road near Chang'an, there were lying headless corpses everywhere.
The closer they get to Chang'an City, the more numerous these corpses become.
Moreover, the Xiongnu Emperor Liu Yao had already seen it from the clothes of these corpses.
Most of these people were Huns!
Although there are some corpses whose ethnic group cannot be identified, they are a minority.
"Jin Zhun is such a thief! I will cut him into pieces!"
Liu Yao was so distressed that he almost bled.
The population of the five Xiongnu tribes was not large to begin with, and after ten years of conquest, they were even less powerful.
Now Jin Zhun went crazy to retaliate against his own people, almost destroying most of the Huns in Guanzhong.
These are all the subjects of the Xiongnu Emperor Liu Yao.
"Your Majesty, a troop of troops was discovered ahead!"
A general suddenly came to report.
"But he came to surrender?" asked the Xiongnu Emperor Liu Yao.
Along the way, he gathered many soldiers and horses, almost doubling the size.
"Your Majesty, it seems that you are not here to surrender, but to fight!"
"Fight!? It turns out to be Jin Zhun's thieves!"
The Xiongnu Emperor Liu Yao was furious when he heard this.
He immediately led his three thousand elite troops to take the lead in attacking.
Sure enough, when Liu Yao saw the soldiers and horses in front, he found that it was the rebel army under the banner of Jin Zhun.
"King of Guanzhong?"
Liu Yao saw the flags of those traitors from a distance.
There are huge banners of the King of Guanzhong embroidered on them.
"Jin Zhun is a thief like a pig and a dog, and he is also worthy of being called the King of Guanzhong"
Liu Yao was very disdainful.
"Your Majesty, these thieves are so courageous. I will defeat them for Your Majesty!"
One of the generals loudly called for battle.
Liu Yao did not answer, but grabbed the gilt wine flask behind the saddle.
Gudu, Gudu.
He drank a whole bottle of wine one after another.
Liu Yao touched the wine on his mouth and said loudly.
"I will kill these thieves myself!"
After Liu Yao finished speaking, he drew out his horse's shaft, slapped the horse and shouted to lead the army to fight forward.
The soldiers and horses sent by Jin Zhun on the opposite side did not expect that the mere three thousand cavalry in front of them would dare to rush into the formation and kill them.
Suddenly, the soldiers and horses in the front row were in a mess.
······
"What, a total of 20,000 soldiers and horses were defeated in less than an hour?"
Jin Zhun shouted with disbelief.
"Yes, brother, Liu Yao is really too fierce. He just charged into the formation with his iron horse. He also broke three of my formations in succession. He really can't resist."
Jin Kang said with a embarrassed look.
"If I hadn't run so fast, I would have been beheaded by Liu Yao."
"Brother, I think Chang'an City may not be able to be defended. It's better to make plans in advance!"
After Jin Zhun heard this, he couldn't help feeling panic again.
Originally Jin Zhun was prepared to defend Chang'an, but after he issued the order to kill Hu with a heavy reward, he took the opportunity to win over a group of powerful people near Chang'an.
After these powerful forces killed the Huns who invaded and occupied the territory, they naturally did not want the Hun Emperor Liu Yao to lead his army back to Guanzhong.
After all, compared with Liu Yaoxiang, the King of Guanzhong Jin Zhun in front of him is really good.
Not only were they rewarded with money and silk from Chang'an's treasury for killing Hu, but they also promised to return all the fertile land outside the city to them.
Driven by such huge interests, these powerful people naturally tried their best to stop Liu Yao.
Encouraged by these people, Jin Zhun immediately gathered a force of troops and handed it over to his younger brother Jin Kang to lead him to attack Liu Yao.
Jin Zhun knew that Liu Yao divided his troops and went all the way to Tongguan. He still had at most 20,000 to 30,000 troops in his hands.
Behind his 20,000 vanguard troops, there are another 30,000 troops.
With such a huge advantage, he might be able to defend the enemy from outside the country, so that Liu Yao could not even see the city wall of Chang'an, so he had to go back obediently.
However, Jin Zhun really did not expect that the vanguard army would be defeated so quickly and so completely.
"Even if 20,000 soldiers and horses are gone, I can still recruit another 20,000!"
"How can you say that you can't defend Chang'an City!"
Jin Zhun was very dissatisfied with his brother's discouraging words and shouted angrily.
"But brother, where can we recruit 20,000 soldiers?" Jin Kang said with a grimace.
"Those powerful men all have their own troops. Let alone 20,000, recruiting another 30,000 is not a problem." Jin Zhun said loudly.
The empty palace was filled with his echoes.
"Brother, I entered the city alone." Jin Kang said.
"Going into the city alone? What do you mean?" Jin Zhun looked confused.
"That is to say, I escaped on my own, and those powerful men have already run away, or did not run away at all, and were captured by Liu Yao."
"We are outside the city and there are no reinforcements."
When Jin Zhun heard this, he was frightened again and did not speak for a long time.
"Impossible! I am the king of Guanzhong, and I have already given orders to Guanzhong. How could everyone escape after a small defeat?!"
Jin Zhun was in disbelief.
"Somebody come!"
Jin Zhun ordered loudly toward the door.
Soon, several personal guards and confidants came in.
"You pass Gu's military order and go outside the city to recruit another 20,000 soldiers and horses. It must be completed within two days, otherwise military law will be imposed!"
Jin Zhun ordered loudly.
Several confidants looked embarrassed, but they did not dare to argue at all, and they all loudly accepted the order.
When Jin Kang saw this, he also had something in mind, but he just opened his mouth and didn't say anything.
=·=·=·=·=·=·=
Yecheng.
The front hall was already filled with candles.
The huge palace was as bright as day.
All the civil and military officers under Liu Yu gathered here late at night.
"I'm calling you here late at night because something big has happened!" Liu Yu said.
"Your Majesty, is this a matter in Guanzhong?" Xi Jian asked immediately.
"Yes, it's about Guanzhong." Liu Yu nodded.
"Did Jin Zhun agree?"
Xi Jian said again.
