Huan Xi sent an order to Shen Jin to wait for the opportunity and lure the refugees from Hedong to come to vote. In fact, he had the mentality of hitting three shots if there were no dates. No matter whether he could succeed or not, he had to give it a try.
Therefore, Shen Jin was not given a death order to move back any number of people.
In fact, there was really nothing Shen Jin could do about it.
It is true that Fu Jian and Zhang Ping were competing for the state, but Fu Jian didn't know that Huan Xi had made up his mind and decided to take a temporary rest.
He was worried that Huan Xi would take the opportunity to move eastward, so he divided five thousand soldiers and handed them over to his general Lu Polou, and ordered him to go down to the stronghold not far from Fennan Gaoyuan to monitor the Jin army's movements.
How could Lu Polou let the people who came to seek refuge with Shen Jin go?
However, although Shen Jin and Lu Polou were not far apart, no direct conflict broke out during this period.
In terms of identity, the two belong to the same camp.
Previously, Fu Hong rebelled against Zhao. In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Fu Hong was appointed king of Di, envoy Chijie, general in charge of the northern expedition, governor of all military affairs in Hebei, governor of Jizhou, and Duke of Guangchuan.
He also appointed his son Fu Jian as a false commander and general on the right, supervising the troops in Hebei to conquer the vanguard and assisting the Duke of the state.
Therefore, in name only, Fu Jian can be regarded as a minister of the Jin Dynasty.
Of course, there was no conflict between the two, and it was not because of their recognition of Fu Jian's status as a minister.
Shen Jin did not receive Huan Xi's clear instructions and did not dare to provoke others, so he concentrated on building the city.
Fu Jian was fighting with Zhang Ping, and Lu Polou did not dare to stir up trouble.
At this time, Gaowang City had begun to take shape. It was said to be a city, but in fact, it was a military fortress and did not have many urban functions.
However, Huan Xi's expectation for it was to have "deep walls and high fortresses to protect the royal family", so he only focused on its military function. Shen Jin also supervised the construction based on the drawings sent from Chang'an.
Lu Polou looked at Gaowang City in the distance, and he felt in a daze that he might not be able to return to Kansai in this life.
In his early years, Fu Hong led his troops to respond to Shi Hu's call and moved from Lueyang County, Qinzhou to Guandong. Many Di heroes followed him, and Lu Polou was one of them. He left his hometown for seventeen years.
There is a young man standing next to Lu Po Tower. Judging from his appearance, he is probably around thirteen or fourteen years old. He is also looking at the majestic Gaowang City.
The young man's name was Lu Guang, and he was Lu Polou's eldest son. He had not loved reading since he was a child and was keen on military service. Lu Polou took him with him and trained him carefully.
Lu Polou withdrew his gaze and looked north again. He cared more about the outcome of the Battle of Jinyang than his hometown.
After Fu Hong's death, Fu Jian led more than 100,000 troops to attack Bingzhou. The progress was not smooth, because no one expected that Fu would give up Guanzhong and choose to fight for Hedong.
After all, the Fu family had previously stationed troops in Fangtou and even refused Shi Jian's offer to enter the pass, intending to compete for Hebei.
Before Fu Hong's death, he claimed to be the Great Governor, the Great General, the Great Chanyu, and the King of the Three Qin Dynasties. He seemed to see that Hebei was difficult to determine, so he changed his target to Guanxi.
He even made bold claims that once he was allowed to occupy Guanzhong, it would be easier to conquer the world than Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty.
Zhang Ping really didn't expect that Fu Jian would send troops during the mourning period when his father was poisoned. Instead of heading towards Hebei or attacking Guanzhong, they would attack him.
It was spring plowing at that time, so Zhang Ping disbanded his troops and asked the soldiers to return to their hometowns to farm.
When brothers Fu Jian and Fu Xiong led their troops northward and entered Bingzhou, Zhang Ping had no time to react.
After the Di army passed Gaobi Ridge and entered the Taiyuan Basin, Zhang Ping hurriedly assembled his troops, but by this time, Jinyang, which was surrounded by four fortresses, was no longer in danger.
Outside Jinyang City, Zhang Ping led his troops out to fight Fu Jian.
The two armies were fighting in a dark and indistinguishable manner. A Bingzhou general commanded more than a thousand cavalry and repeatedly charged and killed the Di army's formation, four or five times back and forth, but none of the generals could resist.
Fu Jian was watching the battle from the rear, with Fu Xiong commanding from the front. Fu Jian also noticed the heroic appearance of the Bingzhou cavalryman on the battlefield, and couldn't help but fall in love with his talent.
He pointed at the cavalry general and asked the left and right:
"Who is this?"
The people on the left and right looked at each other, but neither of them recognized this person. Only Xue Zan, a native of Taiyuan who had recently defected to Fu Jian's command, stepped forward and introduced Fu Jian:
"Replying to my lord, this man's name is Zhang Hao. He is Zhang Ping's adopted son. He is brave enough that no man can match him, and he has a high prestige in the army."
Fu Jian heard this and praised:
"What a warrior!"
Immediately, he sent an order to the three armies to offer a reward for capturing Zhang Hao alive.
Upon hearing this, all the generals on the front line were excited and attacked Zhang Hao one after another. Zhang Hao was outnumbered and was about to retreat. However, due to repeated attacks, his mount was already exhausted. In the end, his horse lost its front hoof and was captured by Fu Jian's general Mao Dang.
Zhang Ping was terrified when he saw this scene, and the Bingzhou army lost their will to fight when they saw Zhang Hao being captured.
Fu Xiong made great efforts and commanded the front army to defeat the Bingzhou Army outside Jinyang City.
Zhang Ping abandoned his army and fled in panic to defect to Dai.
Daiguo is the Tuoba tribe of Xianbei.
In the fourth year of Xiankang in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (AD 338), Tuoba Shiyiqian, who had been held hostage in Yecheng and was deeply influenced by the culture of the Central Plains, returned to the Dai land, succeeded to the leadership of his tribe, changed the Yuan Dynasty and established the country, and then the Dai country was established.
Tuoba Shiyiqian set up hundreds of officials, formulated laws, married with the Murong tribe of Xianbei, married Murong Huang's daughter as his queen, and made Murong Huang's sister his concubine.
Therefore, Tuoba Shiyiqian was both the uncle and brother-in-law of Murong Jun, Murong Ke and others.
Soon, he married with the Tiefu tribe of the Xiongnu who was entrenched in the Hetao Plain, and married his concubine to Liu Wuhuan, the leader of the Tiefu tribe.
After the fall of the former Zhao Dynasty, the Xiongnu gradually withdrew from the historical stage of East Asia. The Tiefu tribe, like other descendants of the Xiongnu, inevitably went into decline and became attached to Tuoba Shiyiqian.
Although Tuoba Shiyiqian was married to Qianyan, the relationship was not harmonious.
Murong Huang once sent his son Murong Jun, his younger brother Murong Ping and others to attack the Dai Kingdom because Tuoba Shiyijian treated him with arrogance and lacked the courtesy of a son-in-law. Tuoba Shiyijian saw that the situation was not good and led his troops to escape. Qian Yan returned without success, so he came back.
Although Tuoba Shiyiqian implemented a certain degree of reform in their country, the Xianbei Tuoba tribe moved from a tribal alliance to a feudal state.
But internally, the chiefs of each department still have a lot of power.
At this time of chaos in Guandong, Tuoba Shiyiqian was determined to fight for the world, but the chiefs under him believed that the Central Plains was not determined overnight. Once involved in a dispute, the gains would outweigh the losses, and they were unwilling to get involved.
Tuoba Shiyiqian had no choice but to give up and compete with the Chile people on the grassland for water, grass and livestock.
Zhang Ping left for the Kingdom of Dai. Since the chiefs of the Kingdom of Dai had no intention of going south, Zhang Ping was not reused. Since then, there has been no news or news about him.
His adopted son Zhang Hao received courtesy from Fu Jian and followed the Fu family from then on.
The Fu family occupied Bingzhou and had a population of more than 100,000 households, but they were busy digesting Hedong. Fu Jian also decided to recuperate and prepare to wait for Ran Min and Shi Zhi to lose both sides, and then take the opportunity to go east from the Taihang Mountain Road and capture Hebei.
After Shi Zhi heard about Shi Jian's death, he usurped the throne in Xiangguo (now Xingtai, Hebei) and proclaimed himself emperor, still using Zhao as his country name.
In Yecheng, civil strife broke out again, but this time, it was not the conflict between Ran Min and Shi Zhao, but the comrades who had been close to each other and seized power together.
As the saying goes, sharing hardships is easy, sharing wealth is difficult.
Even though Li Nong threatened to kill Ran Min when he resigned from the throne and pretended to promote himself, he could not escape Ran Min's suspicion.
How could anyone be allowed to sleep soundly beside the couch? Li Nong had tens of thousands of begging troops stationed in important areas of the capital.
No matter how well he knew the current affairs, how could he rest assured that Ran Min would recommend himself to others.
Emperor Ran Min of the Wei Dynasty took the lead in launching an attack and killed Li Nong and his three sons, wiping out his entire family. Also killed were Shangshu Ling Wang Mo, Minister Wang Yan, Minister Yan Zhen, Zhao Sheng and others who had close relations with Li Nong. man of.
Ran Min took the opportunity to annex Li Nong's tribe, which greatly increased his power, but also greatly disappointed the Hebei nobles.
When Li Nong escaped from Yecheng alone, he was elected as the leader of the beggar tribe and gained tens of thousands of soldiers for nothing, which shows his prestige in Hebei.
Of course, this is also one of the reasons why Li Nong is jealous of Ran Min.
Although Ran Min was suspicious, his ability on the battlefield was indeed a bit like that of the Overlord of Chu.
When Yao Xiang attacked Tongguan, Shi Zhi sent his prime minister Shi Kun to lead an army of 100,000 to attack Yecheng. Ran Min went out of Yecheng to Handan to attack, and then defeated the Zhao army. Tens of thousands of people died, and Shi Kun fled back to Xiang in embarrassment. country.
Soon, Zhao generals Zhang Hedu, Duan Qin, Liu Guo, Jin Dou and others gathered hundreds of thousands of troops to form an alliance in Changcheng (now west of Nanle County, Henan Province) and were about to attack Yecheng.
After Ran Min learned the news, he led 120,000 infantry and cavalry led by Shangshu Zuopushe Liu Qun, generals Wang Tai, Cui Tong, Zhou Cheng and others as the front army. He personally led 80,000 elite troops as the successors, and commanded 200,000 soldiers. The army took the initiative to attack and fought fiercely with the Zhao army in Cangting (35 miles west of today's Nanle County, Henan Province).
Later, the Zhao coalition was defeated, with 28,000 people killed, and Ran Min captured more than 100,000 Zhao soldiers.
After gathering the surrendered soldiers, Ran Min reorganized his army and returned.
At this time, Ran Min had a crowd of more than 300,000 people. On the way back to Yecheng, banners, bells and drums stretched for more than a hundred miles, and Ran Wei's power reached its peak.
The war between Kanto and Kansai sounds like it has two dimensions.
Ran Wei and Shi Zhao had hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands at every turn, while Huan Xi always maintained a fighting force of 25,000.
The reason is not only that the household registration in Kanto is prosperous, but the people's livelihood in Kansai is poor.
The root cause was that Huan Xi had different thinking from theirs. He was trying his best to reduce the impact of the war on agricultural production.
If he really had to ignore it, with a population of 210,000 households under his command, Huan Xi could easily send out an army of more than 100,000 people. If he just mobilized all the young and strong people, the local production order would be seriously damaged.
Although the old, weak, women and children can also farm, they are not as efficient as the young and strong.
Of course, Hebei is a small country with a dense population, and the old, weak, women and children can still manage it.
But Guanlong, which is vast and sparsely populated, does not have such conditions.
After Deng Qiang brought the infantry back to Guanzhong, Huan Xi was finally able to go south with confidence. While preparing to marry Xie Daoyun, he took the opportunity to move some people from the south.
If you want to have enough food and troops, it is not enough to just recuperate. After all, people are not crops in the ground. If you plant in spring, you will harvest in autumn.
It takes fifteen years to breed Dingkou before the newborns can be converted into tax households and military service population.
Without such patience, one can only hope to immigrate from the south to enrich Guanzhong.
