The territory of Sizhou today can be said to be still the court on the surface, but in fact, only some unappreciated minor officials are still maintaining the operation of the government. Without the powerful families, only ordinary people are left in Sizhou. Of course, some of them have no money, no food, and are not tenants or servants of the powerful families. Even if they want to leave, they can't leave.

So the entire Sizhou is probably left with these poor people who can't even get enough food.

In the early years, Luoyang experienced the hegemony of various kings, and a large number of refugees fled. Today, Sizhou, once the prosperous national center, has long been empty and desolate.

At this time, Yongzhou next door will naturally not sit idly by.

In fact, Yongzhou has always been a place where ethnic groups live together. Although the Han people call the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Qiang, etc. as Hu people, there are also factional struggles among the Hu people. They will unite or fight because of their respective beliefs and their own interests. So when Sima Yue moved the capital, the various Hu tribes in Yongzhou began to be indistinguishable.

The four tribes of Lushui Hu, Di, Qifu Xianbei and Qiang began to fight for territory.

Among them, Lushui Hu is quite special. It has a complex ethnic origin. It has both Xiongnu and Yuezhi elements, and has absorbed Jie, Diqiang and even Han tribes in the process of national evolution. Therefore, it has the characteristics of both white and yellow people, and its core component is Lufang from the Shang Dynasty.

Because of this inclusive and fusion feature, Lushui Hu's original base camp was in Liangzhou. Liangzhou has a vast land and few resources. Lushui Hu cultivated himself here for an unknown period of time and finally accumulated strength. On the surface, he did not participate in the power struggle in the Central Plains. However, since the court has given up the north, it would be a fool not to grab more territory. Therefore, Lushui Hu took half of Qinzhou and also set his eyes on Yongzhou, and indeed occupied some territory in Yongzhou.

However, Qinzhou was originally occupied by the Qiang people, which naturally caused hatred with the Qiang people, and the Qiang people also got involved in Yongzhou.

Qifu Xianbei was the most pitiful. Although it was a Xianbei tribe, the Xianbei tribe was the most widely distributed among the many Hu tribes. Most of the grasslands in the north and large tracts of land in the northwest had the shadow of the Xianbei tribe.

But Qifu Xianbei was only one branch of the Xianbei tribe. The Xianbei tribe was not a united tribe. Most of them were independent and would occasionally form an alliance when they plundered the south.

Therefore, Qifu Xianbei was the weakest among the many Hu tribes. Not only did it have to face three Hu tribes in the west and south, but it also had the Han Kingdom watching it covetously.

The situation of the Hu people dividing the northern territory came to an abrupt end with the death of Sima Yue. They seemed to have a tacit understanding with each other and began to divide the territory tacitly.

After the brief war in Yongzhou was quelled and the state was torn apart, they turned their attention to Sizhou. To be honest, if it weren't for the iconic city of Luoyang, the Hu people would not be very interested in Sizhou. But because of Luoyang, Sizhou became the territory they all wanted to seize, including Liu Yuan, the Qiang Yang family, and the Xianbei Dugu family.

Finally, because the Dugu family controlled the Taihang Pass, the Xianbei occupied a place in Sizhou.

And the Dugu family also became the most influential family in Sizhou.

However, although the Hu people occupied a large territory, and even the Qiang Yang family also learned from Liu Yuan to establish the Qiuchi State in Qinzhou, it was actually too difficult for them to govern the farming territory. Liu Yuan was well-educated and educated by the Han people since childhood, but he could only govern the country by using the two political management systems of the Hu people and the Han people in parallel, not to mention the Qiang people, a tribe that had no outstanding leaders and whose emperor could not even recognize Chinese characters.

Therefore, Qiuchi is not a prosperous country. It is just that the tribe changed its name and broke away from the rule of the court.

You Hongyin carefully sorted out the intricate and complicated relationships between the Hu people in his mind, pointed to Taihang Mountain, and said: "Dugu clan."

The Dugu clan is now led by Dugu Hong, who is brave and a fierce general, but also a very smart person. Because the Xianbei tribe is not strong in the local area, but in an environment surrounded by powerful enemies, the Dugu clan can survive safely, so the leader must not be a fool.

You Hongyin thinks that smart people are good, because it is more convenient for smart people to discuss conditions. Everyone knows the price, so there will not be too many twists and turns.

"Lord, do you want to attack Taihang Pass?" Wang Mi asked.

You Hongyin said: "No, Sizhou is already very sparsely populated, and it is the target of public criticism. Before destroying the Han Kingdom, we should not seize Luoyang too early, otherwise the world's attention will be focused on me, which is very unfavorable for the subsequent work."

"What does the lord mean?" Wang Mi was very surprised. This time, he asked the leader to come alone, and there must be something important to tell him.

"I need you to discuss cooperation with Dugu Hong." You Hongyin said: "Liu Yuan will inevitably turn his attention to Taihang Pass and Tongguan if he cannot make a breakthrough in Bingzhou. What he desires most is to seize Luoyang, so attacking Taihang Pass has become a necessity."

Wang Mi was a little uncertain: "The lord means to cooperate with Dugu Hong. When Liu Yuan attacks Taihang Mountain, we will join forces with Dugu Hong to severely damage the Han army."

"You can say that." You Hongyin nodded to confirm.

Wang Mi said: "I am not sure whether I can convince Dugu Hong. After all, he and Liu Yuan are both Hu people from the grassland."

You Hongyin said: "There is no need to worry about this. The Xianbei tribe led by Dugu Hong is weak. If they do not seek refuge from a big power, they will surely perish in the next turmoil. Dugu Hong will not fail to understand the situation. What's more, all the tribes on the grassland respect the strong. Now, apart from the southern court, the forces of me and Liu Yuan are the strongest in the north. Since he is guarding Taihang Pass, he must be unwilling to follow Liu Yuan. He can only choose me."

And Wang Mi still has some doubts from his expression.

You Hongyin continued: "Heming has arranged people at Taihang Pass of Dugu clan several years ago. Even if Dugu clan does not agree to cooperate, there are people from Heming pushing it. You don't need to worry too much."

"Yes, then I will deal with this matter personally." Wang Mi heard this and strengthened his confidence. He then took his leave and prepared to set out to handle this matter.

You Hongyin continued to pay attention to the map, but his eyes were not on Han State, but on Qiuchi.

The new forces that suddenly emerged made You Hongyin a little depressed.

There were too many and too complicated forces in the north, which was really difficult to sort out. In his early years, he planned to conquer the north. Although the ideal blueprint he envisioned has now been realized one by one, he did not expect that it would take so much effort to really pacify the north.

When the imperial court unified the world, it did not really collect the territories in its hands and sort out the forces of all parties. Generally speaking, the small rulers of a certain area surrendered, and they really regarded this place as their own territory, and then arranged counties and enfeoffed the kings. But in fact, the rulers of those lands just hid, accumulating strength all the time, waiting to rise again.

That's why the imperial court unified the world in such a short time, and soon fell into a state of disintegration. In addition to the Sima family's various deadly troubles, local princes are also emerging in an endless stream, which is comparable to the Warring States period.

Now You Hongyin himself is already 26 years old, and it is really difficult to completely unify the world before 30. Originally, he planned to ascend the throne as soon as possible so that he could have the energy to govern the world, which was in need of reconstruction. He estimated that this time would be between 30 and 45 years old.

After the age of 45, he would need to support the new emperor, and he, the old emperor, would have time to rest. And the new emperor he planned before did not have to be his own son. In order to shorten the time, he originally intended to adopt an adopted son and select one from the adopted sons.

Unfortunately, the plan was beautiful, but the reality was cruel.

In this situation, his marriage could not be delayed any longer. The matter of adopting a son was not going smoothly. For such a long time, he had hardly met a child with enough talent.

In fact, this was also normal. Talent was related to bloodline, and it was almost impossible for the world's excellent bloodline to come out of the poor, and the living environment and so on would make the originally talented children less suitable.

On the other hand, if the Southern Court had a bad brain and granted a marriage, he would really have no way to resist.

The reason why You Hongyin was unwilling to marry before was because his choice of spouse was very small, almost all of them were from aristocratic families. Choosing aristocratic families as the descendants would mean that the future emperor would be from aristocratic families, and it is very likely that the aristocratic families would have too much power.

However, it is obvious that the current situation is that instead of thinking about how the future emperor can fight against aristocratic families, it is better to consider finding a wife and having a son to start training. Otherwise, when he is seventy or eighty years old, his son will not be able to take over the important task, and he will be the one who suffers in the end.

So You Hongyin put the matter of choosing a wife on the agenda.

In addition, his apprentices are all older than him, but they all learn not to marry or marry. He doesn't care about this kind of thing, but it is hard to say whether his apprentices will regret it in the future in front of people's words. ▒Thinking▒Tu▒Online▒Reading▒

You Hongyin added the words "apprentice marriage" to his schedule with a big head, and began to consider how to deal with such mother-in-law matters.

Taihang Pass

Although the Dugu clan is a Qiang, the Qiang have surrendered to the Han Dynasty for a long time. Compared with the Han people, except for some differences in appearance, there is no difference between them and the Han people in many places.

Therefore, the Dugu clan defended Taihang Mountain, and the people of Sizhou just thought that General Dugu was much better than those nobles who escaped, and they still guarded them to prevent the Xiongnu from going south.

Now the northern Xianbei tribes cannot pass through the Youzhou border, and Bingzhou also has Cao Lin arranged by You Hongyin to intercept the actions of the Hu people. Taihang Pass and Tongguan are guarding the checkpoints. The security level of Sizhou is higher than before the capital was moved. The Hu people who divided Yongzhou and Sizhou are not very interested in the poor people who have been plundered because of the influence of Han culture.

Dugu Hong is now in his prime, and he is very envious of the Xiongnu tribe for going out and establishing a country independently, but he does not dare to do the same as Liu Yuan.

His branch of Xianbei is much weaker than the Xiongnu, and there is nothing that can be done about it. The Dugu family is now leading the Xianbei to survive in the cracks between various forces. It is already very difficult, so they should have some self-knowledge and not dream of dominating the world.

"General, there is an envoy outside the pass asking for an audience. Should we bring him in?" A soldier reported.

"Do you know who it is?" Dugu Hong was wiping his armor. Hearing the report, he asked in a loud voice.

The soldier's eyes were a little complicated: "It is General Wang Mi, the guerrilla general under the command of Qingzhou Governor Guo Shijun."

At this time, Dugu Hong knew why the soldier had a complicated expression.

This is all caused by the cheating Guo Xi who has money.

The generals under Guo Xi's command cover almost the entire northern region, and there are people from almost everywhere. Therefore, the fact that the generals in his army are well paid has already spread throughout the north. How could Taihang Pass not know that many relatives in his family are there? The soldiers under Guo Xi have all received letters or oral messages from their families that seem to be showing off but are actually soliciting.

Duguhong was not angry about this. Instead, he felt that it would be good to hug Guo Xi's lap. Unfortunately, his Dugu family belonged to a foreign race. If he took the initiative to ask for help, he would not be taken seriously. Therefore, he led his soldiers to stick to Taihang Pass. Quietly waiting for the opportunity.

So when he heard Wang Mi's arrival, Lonely laughed loudly: "Hahaha, it seems that the people under Guo Shijun's reaction are quite quick."

Then under the dumbfounded gaze of the soldier, Duguhong coughed and said, "Please come to the living room."

Xiaobing led the troops away, and Duguhong also put on his clothes and walked to the living room in high spirits.

When the two met, Wang Mi expressed his intention, but Duguhong did not agree. Don't look at Duguhong as a rough-looking person. In fact, he has a lot of intentions. Naturally, he wants to seek more benefits for his own tribe in this kind of thing.

However, Wang Mi is not stupid. Along the way from Taihang Pass, he has already discovered that the soldiers here are very envious of the treatment of the soldiers under his lord's command, and this kind of love
