Nan'an County, located in the southeast of Qinzhou, as early as the Han Xian Emperor Jian'an period, Nan'an has been placed in the county, although now has a history of more than 100 years, but there are still only three cities in Nan'an, in addition to the capital of Chiting County in the middle, is the Dingxi County in the north and Zhongtao County in the south. Nan'an has always been a small land and a small population of the lower county, surrounded by the surrounding Tianshui, Longxi, Fufeng and even Luoyang and other upper and middle counties, it seems to be a little congenital deficiency and weak.

In Nan'an, since the pre-Qin period, there have been Qiang people all over the country. In the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the leader of the Qiang tribe moved to Na, led the tribe to attach to the imperial court, received a commendation, and settled in the land of Chiting, and settled down from then on. After the fifth pass, the current big leader is Yao Yizhong, a descendant of Qianna, who was Chinese New Year's Eve six years old at the time.

Yao Yi Zhongxiong is resolute, wise and decisive, and has been talented since he was a child. Under his father and his two generations of chieftains, Nam An County was small but thriving, with a more prosperous population and livestock than before. Even in the context of the infighting of the Eight Kings and the chaos in the northwest, Nan'an basically maintained a harmonious situation, and did not suffer any large-scale impact, so it was a peaceful land.

But years of calm were finally broken; The well-cared for homeland is still inevitably ravaged by the brutal flames of war. At the end of the third year of Jianxing, after plundering the two cities of Longxi, Puhong of Luoyang had a considerable increase in population and financial resources, and thought that Gang and Gao Yue were showing goodwill, and the two factions of Xiangwu and Shangtai were staring at each other with all their attention, and they would definitely not take care of him, and they couldn't hold back their impatience, so they took advantage of the defenselessness of the Nan'an Qiang people to send troops to invade.

Caught off guard to deal with the conspiracy, Rao is Yao Yizhong immediately led his troops to fight back, but inevitably failed repeatedly. Seeing how many innocent people were brutally killed and countless cattle and sheep property were looted, Yao Yizhong was angry and hateful, but he lost the opportunity due to lack of strength, and he couldn't resist the continuous offensive of the Luoyang army. In desperation, Yao Yizhong had no choice but to lead the tribe and migrate all the way to the east to retreat. When he arrived at Yumei City in Fufeng County, Yongzhou, he rested for the time being, and reported the blood and tears to the imperial court according to the truth, and asked the Son of Heaven of the Great Jin Dynasty to preside over a justice.

The imperial court is in decline, and it can't control Sima Bao, the king of Nanyang, and it can't restrain Pu Hong, who is unwilling to be silent and ambitious. Although Emperor Sima Ye immediately ordered Pu Hong to be severely reprimanded and ordered to withdraw from Nan'an County. But the will to go west, like sinking into the sea, Puhong's soldiers are still on the land of Nan'an County, acting recklessly.

Sima Ye was indignant, but he was also helpless, so he had to assign Yumei to Yao Yizhong as a temporary residence to talk about appeasement. However, Sima Ye could not tolerate Pu Hong's lack of court, so in his reply to Yao Yizhong, he hinted that he could ask Gao Yue, the governor of Qinzhou, for help. Yao Yizhong thought that he had never met Gao Yue before, and he also knew that now the two giants Gao Yue and Sima Bao in Qinzhou were fighting each other, and he might not have the energy to take care of others. But he really didn't feel sorry for the homeland passed down from his ancestors, and he was lost in his hands, and he really couldn't think about it, so he had to hold on to the faint hope, and wrote a letter asking for help, together with the emperor's reply to him, so that people could send it to Xiangwu City quickly.

It was October of the third year of Jianxing in the Western Jin Dynasty, Xiangwu City.

It was almost time to hold the lamp, and Gao Yue hadn't had time to eat dinner yet. He got up early in the morning and first gave detailed instructions to answer Cao Mo's stack of notes on resuming farming and preparing for the coming year. Di Dao Shouyang was burned and plundered by Pu Hong, and his earlier hard work and efforts were in vain. Cao Mo was heartbroken, but it was rare that he could regain his spirit with perseverance, and vowed to start over, Gao Yue of course encouraged him and replied carefully one by one.

Then, accompanied by Wu Xia, he carefully inspected the four gates of the city defense, and emphasized that the newly built urn city would be strengthened and widened. In the following afternoon, he was again on the school floor to inspect and train the newly recruited 3,000 soldiers. The external conditions of this batch of recruits are really good, and they are all young offspring with big shoulders and round waists, but whether they can be built into an elite army that dares to fight and fearlessness depends on the tempering later. Gao Yue valued it very much, so he personally came to make the opening remarks and guided the military work one by one.

The presence of the supreme commander made all the soldiers extremely serious in their actions. Affected by this atmosphere, Gao Yue also devoted himself to the school field. By the time it was over, the moonlight had covered the earth silently. was about to go with Han Yong and the others to fill his stomach, but when he saw Feng Liang running over from afar. As soon as everyone saw that it was him, they knew that they must have found out some of the latest secrets, so they told Gao Yue and went.

"Big brother, the latest battle report, Pu Hong actually attacked the Qiang people in Nan'an, and it was only ten days before and after, and the Qiang people couldn't resist it, so they simply evacuated all of them to the east. Now Pu Hong is looting everywhere in Nan'an, doing whatever he wants. ”

This information stunned Gao Yue when he heard it. At present, although he and Sima Bao have become enemies who are extremely difficult to reconcile, because both sides are currently unable to do so, they have to temporarily stop attacking. Although Sima Bao had just suffered a defeat and was in a hurry to adjust and recover, Gao Yue's Longxi Army did not win easily, but only won with difficulty after paying a great price for damage. And the second city of Shouyang Didao in the rear has been plundered, and there is not much money in terms of materials at present, and they have to recuperate, so although the two sides are still staring at each other, they tacitly maintain the status quo, and the territory of Qinzhou has calmed down for a while.

Unexpectedly, taking advantage of the protagonist's kung fu to drink a glass of water after getting off the stage, the supporting characters jumped on stage impatiently to show off. Gao Yue walked towards the mansion and said with a sneer: "At the beginning, I was very angry and puzzled that Pu Hong came to attack my Longxi for no reason. Now it seems that he can even do it in Nan'an County, which has been a family since ancient times, and it is still such a sudden attack, so I also understand that in the face of selfish desires and interests, he Puhong is afraid that there is nothing he can't do. ”

"The main thing is Yao Yizhong, the leader of the Qiang people in Nan'an, who is really useless, being bullied like this by others, and there is no effective way to deal with it, so he can only flee in disgrace." Feng Liang originally selfishly hoped that the people of Nan'an could fight evenly with Pu Hong, so that he could give full play to the expertise of the internal government, waiting for the opportunity to fan the flames and win in the chaos, but now seeing Yao Yizhong withdraw early, Feng Liang couldn't help but be disappointed.

Gao Yue smiled: "No." Yao Yizhong, you don't understand. He shouldn't be as incompetent as we seem. This person is also said to be the best among the Hu people, and when the situation is unfavorable, he will immediately avoid it and preserve his strength for the future. Wait and see, I don't think he'll be silent. ”

"Big brother, in my opinion, I'm afraid that Yao Yizhong will be difficult to make a comeback. This is a handwritten letter for help sent to you by someone he just sent him, but at the same time, there was a reply from His Majesty. Because it was a holy decree, I didn't dare to check it privately, and I didn't understand what he meant, so I asked my eldest brother to read it for himself. ”

"Oh? Ask me for help? Yao Yizhong! ”

Gao Yue was a little surprised, but immediately thought of the famous Qiang chief in history and the ancestor of Later Qin, and now took the initiative to bend down to beg him to come to the rescue, and he sighed in his heart for a while, and couldn't help but have some subtle fluctuations. Gao Yue took the two letters, put the holy decree in his arms first, and shook off Yao Yizhong's letter to read. He frowned slightly, read carefully with sparkling eyes, and occasionally Feng Liang asked about the current situation in Nan'an County.

As he walked, he looked and talked, and then he arrived at the mansion, and Gao Yue nodded to Feng Liang and said, "I know everything you said." In addition to Shangtai, the internal government should step up the monitoring of the Pu family, and tell Shouyang that you must not take the mistakes of the past lightly, you go, and you must pay more attention to safety. ”

Feng Liang quickly disappeared into the darkness in the distance. Gao Yue stopped at the threshold with one foot, thought about it and said to the guards, "Go and invite Yang Changshi." ”

After a short time, Yang Ke arrived, and in the hall before entering, he made a gesture unhurriedly, and said loudly: "When the lord calls each other, he must have something to think about, and his subordinates will listen attentively." ”

Yang Ke always seems to be a little calm. Gao Yue saw it in his eyes, his mood became calmer, and he couldn't help beckoning, and said with a smile: "With Mr., like a spring breeze, come, please come close and talk." ”

Yang Ke sighed, the word Rumu Spring Breeze was very novel and amazed, and he couldn't help but think about it. Gao Yue said a few words, then went straight to the point, and told Yang Ke again about the relevant situation in Nan'an that Feng Liang had just reported.

"Sir, please see, this is the letter Yao Yizhong wrote to me." Yang Kefang took it, and Gao Yue said in a long voice: "This is another letter, but it is a letter written by the emperor to Yao Yizhong. ”

Yang Ke was slightly startled, and he took it over in a hurry, he put the two pieces of paper together one left and one right, looked at this side and then looked at the other, his expression was extremely focused, and sometimes he would stop in the middle, close his eyes and think about something.

After a long time, Yang Ke folded the two pieces of letter paper again and again, and gently handed them back on the desk in front of Gao Yue. Yang Ke's calm expression actually brought a slight look of excitement.

"But the lord wants to ask, how to deal with it?"

"Yes."

"So, what do your subordinates think first?"

Gao Yue didn't say anything, only looked at Yang Ke with deep meaning. Yang Ke stood with his hands in his hands and was silent. After a while, Gao Yue leaned back, stretched his body a little, and said slowly: "According to my intentions, right now, I am in Longxi, and I am about to buffer and recuperate, so that I can go all out to fight against the king of Nanyang. Although I also hate Pu Hong, there is no way, this time I have to politely decline Yao Yizhong, I really have more than enough heart and not enough strength. ”

Yang Ke flicked the sleeves of his robe, smiled, and said bluntly: "I'm afraid the lord is insincere." ”
