Due to the endless war, the territory of Xihe is sparsely populated and full of wasteland.
After arriving in Xihe, the county keeper Kozan immediately began to implement the uniform field system.
After the land was re-measured, it was distributed to the rescued Han people and the captured Hulu.
No matter how much attention is paid to commerce and industry in Hexi, agriculture has always been the foundation for the stability of a region.
With the promulgation of the Juntian system, the enthusiasm of the people of Xihe was stimulated, and the fields were full of ordinary people running around each other.
With hope, regardless of the cold and the cold, they walked in the wilderness with their families and their families.
A large number of ordinary people began to clean up the fields under the organization of the government, and only waited for the spring of the next year to sow the seeds of hope.
At the same time, in order to support the people of Xihe to open up wasteland, Thorn Shi Cui Hao mobilized a large number of cattle and horses from Shuozhou and handed them over to the common people in the form of lease.
In short, in order to restore the economy of Xihe as soon as possible, the county guard can be said to have tried their best.
In addition to dividing the land and stabilizing the farmers, Kou Zan also supported animal husbandry and breeding in the name of Taishou, which also gave the Hu people who could not farm in the territory a way out.
At the same time, Wang Zhongde was ordered by the general of Zhenbei to start the reorganization of the government army.
……
Later Qin, with the assistance of the Fenyin Xue clan, had just occupied Pingyang.
Unexpectedly, the Hexi Army suddenly occupied the West River, which greatly affected the Later Qin's plan to seize Hedong.
Yao Xu, the front-line commander, did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly told Yao Xing.
Yao Xing received an urgent report from the front, and he was also anxious, and hurriedly discussed countermeasures with his ministers.
He covered his face with frost, looked around at his ministers and asked, "What do you think should be done about this?" ”
"Your Majesty, it's really not possible, let's withdraw from the dispute in Hedong and go directly east to Tongguan to attack Hongnong and other places."
"Isn't there any other way?"
Yao Xing's face was full of unwillingness, his eyes swept over the ministers one by one, and finally fell on Yin Wei.
Yin Wei deserved to be the number one think tank in Later Qin, and he groaned slightly and put forward different opinions.
"This eastward departure is the first major battle since Your Majesty's accession to the throne, if you retreat without a fight, not to mention the morale of the army, it will also damage Your Majesty's prestige, it is really unwise."
"In fact, if you think about it carefully, Hexi's entry into Xihe is not aimed at Later Qin."
"It is said that Zhang Teng, the scholar of Xiyan, sent an envoy to Hexi a month ago, and now it seems that Xiyan's cession of Xihe is more like pulling Hexi to deal with Houyan."
"It's just a coincidence that the Houqin army went east out of Pingyang."
Yin Wei's words made Yao Xing's eyes light up, and the more he pondered, the more he felt that what Yin Wei said was reasonable.
"What Yin Qing said is very reasonable, if Hexi really wants to deal with Hou Qin, where is the need to spend effort to lay out Hedong?"
"Just attack from Longyou and Shuofang, and it will make us take care of ourselves."
"It is precisely this reason, and the reason why the minister said that Hexi has no intention of wanting Pingyang for the time being, is also related to Xiyan."
"Although Murong Yong has the intention of using Hexi to balance Murong Chui, he also doesn't want Hexi's forces to be too strong, otherwise it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no big bullying of customers."
"Now that Hexi has occupied a county in Xihe, if Dadu Hu sends troops to sweep away the two counties of Hedong and Pingyang, then His Majesty will not be able to sleep alone, I am afraid that Murong Yong will also have trouble sleeping."
"For the sake of maintaining the alliance, with the wisdom of protecting the capital, even if we covet Pingyang and Hedong, we will not go south for the time being."
"Dare to ask the servant, why does Hexi want to maintain the alliance?" Someone asked puzzled.
"Alas, this is where most of the capital's protection is clever, when we are still thinking about the gains and losses of a city and a place, people have already considered the problem from the overall situation."
"Judging from the current situation, maintaining the immortality of Xiyan for the time being will have more advantages than disadvantages for Hexi."
"Otherwise, once the Western Yan perishes, the Northern Wei Dynasty may fall to the Later Yan again due to the situation."
"At that time, Hexi will be surrounded by the three great powers of Qin, Wei and Yan, do you say that Dadu Hu can still be as peaceful as he is now?"
"Therefore, most of the protectors will only encroach on Xiyan step by step, but they will not really force Murong Yong to jump over the wall."
"As soon as the time is ripe, the Hexi Army will take the three Jin in the east with lightning speed."
"At that time, it will no longer be Qin, Wei and Yan to jointly attack Hexi, but Hexi and Northern Wei to swallow Houyan."
"I said why Hexi didn't take advantage of our country's mourning to send troops for a long time, it turns out that people have long regarded Guanzhong as something in their pockets."
From Yin Wei's analysis just now, Yao Xing easily felt the contempt from Hexi.
In the past, he thought that Hexi did not take the initiative to attack Guanzhong because it was limited by the Qin-Wei alliance, but now it seems that it is not the same thing.
Although this hurt Yao Xing very much, it also aroused his ambition, and he gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "In this case, I will order Yao Xu to increase the offensive and take Hedong as soon as possible." ”
"Your Majesty, slow down, although the Hexi Army has no intention of going south for the time being, we can't help but be just in case."
"First of all, I also ask Your Majesty to give General Yao Xu an order, ordering him to strengthen the defense in the north to prevent the Hexi Army from sneaking south."
"In addition, the minister has a strategy to help the army take Hedong without blood."
"Please Yin Qing don't hesitate to give advice, and I will listen."
"There are many families in Hedong, in addition to the old families Pei and Hedong Wei, there are also emerging and powerful families such as the Liu family."
"Today's Hedong Taishou Liu Gong was born in the Liu clan and is the real master of Hedong at present."
"The Liu clan is a native of Hedong and has a deep ingrained influence in the local area."
"And after Yongjia, there was chaos in various places, and the complex environment made the Liu clan's tribe extremely strong in combat."
"He has prevented General Yao Xu from crossing the river many times before, and if it weren't for the power of Feng Yijun's Gongxue family, the army would not know when it would be able to cross the Yellow River."
"Now that the army has entered and occupied Pingyang, it is equivalent to cutting off the connection between Hedong and his eldest son, and Murong Yong is pinned down by Murong Trai in the east, and he will definitely be unable to rescue Hedong, at this time, His Majesty only needs to send someone to surrender, and Liu Gong will definitely surrender without a fight."
"In this way, the east of the river can be occupied in the shortest possible time, and then the defeat of the army can be avoided, so that the Hexi army can take advantage of it."
"Will Liu Gong accept the appeasement? What if he asked for help from Hexi? Yao Xing's heart was moved, but he was worried that Liu Gong would resist stubbornly.
"Your Majesty is worried, the family pays the most attention to the interests of the family, as long as it does not infringe on the interests of the Liu family, Liu Gong has no reason to resist, otherwise how could he accept the canonization of Xiyan in the first place?"
"As for asking for help from Hexi...... Unless Liu Gong is not worried about setting himself on fire. ”
"Don't forget that Dadu Hu has always been hostile to the family, and the policies implemented by Hexi are all to restrict the family, how could Liu Gong lead the wolf into the house."
"This is also true, when Hexi entered and occupied Longyou, the Longyou family suffered heavy losses, and Liu Gong could not have no worries."
……
Next, Hou Qin mobilized troops from Pingyang to deter Hedong, and at the same time sent people to appease Liu Gong.
Liu Gong couldn't help but be disappointed when he learned that Xiyan would not send troops to rescue, and as for asking Hexi for help, he didn't even think about it.
In the past, he had only heard that most of the people did not want to see the family, but recently he saw with his own eyes how the people of Hexi implemented policies such as the uniform land system in Xihe County.
Seeing this scene, Liu Gong, who represented the interests of the family, realized that Hexi and the family were natural mortal enemies, and completely extinguished the desire to ask Hexi for help.
Just when Liu Gong was helpless, the people persuaded by Later Qin to surrender arrived in Anyi.
Things turned out as Yin Wei expected, and in desperation, Liu Gong chose to surrender.
Soon Yao Xing personally ordered Liu Gong to be canonized as the prince of Anyi County and the Taishou of Hedong, and continued to guard Hedong.
In this way, Hou Qin successfully occupied Pingyang and Hedong counties, preparing for the next step of advancing the counties east of Tongguan.
……
"Yao Xing is really powerful, he didn't wait to die, but chose to give it a go."
"As long as Qin Dong's exit goes smoothly in the future, he will be able to jump out of the encirclement drawn by Hexi."
The Hedong situation soon reached Wei Shuo's ears, and when he learned that Hou Qin had captured Pingyang and Hedong counties in a row, he sighed.
"Yes, Yao Xing's move seems to be a bit risky, but in fact, the timing is just right."
"Whether it's Xiyan or us, we can't spare our hands to deal with him for the time being, and we can only watch Later Qin expand."
Wei Shuo understood the deep meaning of Liu Mu's words, for the sake of future consideration, Hexi could not go south to capture Pingyang at the moment.
Otherwise, once Xiyan is wary, it will affect the plan to seize and annex the state in the future.
"The lord doesn't need to worry about Hedong, as long as Xiyan is successfully destroyed in the future, Hedong and Pingyang will still be Hexi sooner or later."
"Don't worry, Shuo has patience!"
"Daohe, where do you think Yao Xing will use his troops next?"
"If what the minister expected is good, Yao Xing will point Bingfeng to the Central Plains."
"Although the Central Plains has been recovered by the Great Jin, due to the distance from Jiangdong, the control of the imperial court is weak."
"As long as Hou Qin wins one or two battles, it is very likely to recover a large area of Sizhou's territory."
"Forget it, we can't take care of these for the time being, let's talk about it when we have a chance later."
