"My lord, although Hezhou is not a big state, and there are not many troops, but it has always been the mainstay of northern Henan, Yang Chi and more than 2,000 soldiers in the Governor's Mansion where it is located, have an excellent reputation in the local area, the previous Su Chi riots, Henan was turbulent, Yang Chi led the army to defend Hezhou, repelled the riot army, which stabilized the overall situation in northern Henan, and now because of the problem of food and salary, the heroes retreated, and thousands of elites collapsed, for the imperial court, this is definitely a big loss."

He Zhu hurriedly took Liu Shaocong's words, and specifically talked about Yang Chi's recent achievements and the importance of Hezhou.

In addition, Liu Shaocong and Yang Chi are fellow villagers and classmates, and they have an excellent private relationship.

After listening to the two of them, Li Xun nodded, he didn't know the relationship between Liu Shaocong and Yang Chi, even if he knew, Li Xun wouldn't think much about it, because Yang Chi was indeed a talent, and the court treated him badly, the previous Su Chi riot, Yang Chi still led more than 2,000 soldiers, and defended Hezhou for many days, and finally through the night attack, he defeated the more than 20,000 riot troops who came to attack with less, and kept Hezhou, and also stabilized the situation in the entire northern part of Henan.

During the war, because of the extreme shortage of money, food and materials, Yang Chi found many wealthy families in Hezhou, hoping to borrow some money and grain, but they categorically refused, in order to stabilize the morale of the army and improve morale, there was no way, Yang Chi could only lead people to copy a few large households, and half of the money and food obtained were distributed to the soldiers of the whole army, and half was to recruit young and strong dead soldiers.

Yang Chi did this, although rude and rude, but also violated the law, but at that time the riot army was in the city, Hezhou was in danger, this is also the only way Yang Chi can think of, through this move, got a batch of money and food, not only greatly improved the morale and confidence of the army, but also recruited thousands of young people to help, strengthened the overall defense force of Hezhou, and finally won the victory of the war.

Of course, Yang Chi has no background, let alone a backer, poor background, after the end of the war, although he made great contributions, but he still can't help the anger of many wealthy families in Hezhou, and was almost convicted of a major crime, and finally Li Zhong interceded for him, Zhao Xun opened up the net, in the name of offsetting merits and demerits, neither rewarded Yang Chi, nor punished his crimes, and his position remained the same.

After Liu Shaocong's detailed narration, Li Xun has a certain understanding of Hezhou and Yangchi.

Li Xun said: "What about the matter in Zhezhou? What is the reason for the recent incidents of the Qiang people? ”

Liu Shaocong said: "Things in Zhezhou are a bit complicated......."

The Qiang people are an ethnic minority, mainly living in the southwest of Jiannan, living near Dali and Tubo, and they are between the Central Plains Dynasty and the Tubo and Dali forces. Some assimilated into Tubo and Dali, some attached to the Central Plains Dynasty, or assimilated into the Han nationality, or survived in the cracks, and were able to be preserved and developed separately under the long-term and uncertain situation of the Jin Dynasty and Tubo.

The Qiang people have their own culture and system, every 1,000 people are a mountain division, forming a large or small tribal group, the total population is about 500,000, and the Qiang people living in the Jin Dynasty are close to 300,000, of which the Heishui tribe is the strongest, more than 100 mountain divisions, that is, the population is more than 100,000.

The massacre of the entire village this time, the Qiang tribe, who repeatedly caused trouble, was caused by the Heishui tribe.

Since being accepted by the Jin Dynasty three hundred years ago and migrating to Jiannan Province, the Qiang people have been very responsible and have lived in harmony with the local Han people.

During the period of Mu Zong, Mu Zong himself was mediocre and lustful, cruel and unkind, at that time, the leader of the Qiang tribe took his daughter to Fengjing to meet the emperor of the Jin Dynasty, Mu Zong first saw the daughter of the leader of the Qiang tribe, and was shocked by the heavens, and then sent someone to find the leader of the Qiang tribe, hoping to accept his daughter as a concubine, and promised all kinds of benefits, this move was categorically rejected by the leader of the Qiang tribe, because his daughter has been married to others, in the Qiang tribe, many women have just been born, they have already set the marriage in advance, and they must not be canceled for life, even if the man has died before the marriage, the woman is still regarded as her wife, unless you pay a lot of money to let the man's family take the initiative to cancel the marriage, otherwise, the woman will be widowed for life.

The Qiang chieftain's refusal of Mu Zong's request was reasonable and there was nothing wrong with it, but Mu Zong's mediocrity and brutality, where would he care about this, he disregarded his noble status as the son of heaven of the Jin Dynasty, and actually drove the Qiang leader out of Fengjing and forcibly accepted his daughter as a concubine.

Mu Zong's behavior was regarded as a great shame by the Qiang chieftain, and after he returned to the tribe, he immediately united with the other Qiang tribes and immediately launched a rebellion.

At that time, the Jin Dynasty, the national strength was still at its peak, and the rebellion of the Qiang people could not shake the rule of the Jin Dynasty at all, so the rebellion of the Qiang people was quickly quelled, and in the end, tens of thousands of Qiang people were killed, and the leader of the Qiang people refused to surrender and committed suicide angrily.

The rebellion was quelled, but the hatred between the Qiang and the Jin Dynasty was completely settled, and in the years that followed, the Qiang always rejected and hostile the Han people, and small-scale rebellions often occurred.

Liu Shaocong said in a heavy tone: "When Yizong, the Qiang people launched a rebellion, Yizong with great determination, launched an army of 100,000 people, completely entered the major tribes of the Qiang people, more than 100,000 Qiang people were killed, after this battle, the vitality of the Qiang people was greatly damaged, and in the next sixty or seventy years, they have been very honest and low-key, and they dare not be enemies of my Jin Dynasty again. ”

"The place where the Qiang people live, mostly the mountains and forests, the living environment is extremely bad, the massacre in the Yizong period, although so many years have passed, but the Qiang people still have not recovered, at this time the population of the Qiang people is probably more than 200,000 people, can be used as a battle to kill the young strong, at most 120,000 people, and lack of weapons and money and food, at this time the Heishui tribe dared to openly slaughter the Han villages, where did they get the confidence and courage? Among them, there may be two forces, Dali and Tubo, who are behind the scenes. ”

He Zhu's ancestral home is in Jiannan Road, where he has lived for many years, and he obviously knows the situation of the Qiang people very well.

Liu Shaocong finally said in a deep voice: "When I returned from Jiannan Dao, the Heishui tribe stopped moving, and the situation eased somewhat, but many Qiang people are going to the Heishui tribe to assemble, this is likely to be the calm before the storm, the Heishui tribe may be accumulating strength, and a larger rebellion may break out next." ”

After listening to Liu Shaocong and He Zhu's narration, Li Xun fell into deep thought, and after a while, he stood up: "I know what you said, I will enter the palace immediately now, and immediately report to the emperor on the affairs of Hezhou and the Qiang people." ”

Li Xun got up to leave, and before leaving, he said to them again: "You two know the affairs of Hezhou and the Qiang people very well, but you can calm down, think about a thing or two, if you have any opinions, you can go to my house to see me at any time." ”

"Yes, sir."

He Zhu and Liu Shaocong responded in unison and bowed to Li Xun.
