ps: Went to the hospital to visit the patient and came back late, sorry.

In mid-November, Shixun finally left Taiyuan and arrived at Xihe County to Zhilishi, and the county guard Zheng Hun went out of the city to greet him.

Zheng Hun Zi Wengong, a native of Henan, is the great-grandson of Zheng Zhong, a scholar of scripture. Zheng Zhong was an official in the era of Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty, in order to distinguish it from the eunuch Zheng Zhong, it was commonly known as "Zheng Sinong" - it was Xun Xin who said that in the original history, Zheng Xuan did not go out of the imperial court in his later years, and on this timeline, he also entered the court and did the great Sinong.

The Zheng Hun in front of him is also Cao Wei's famous guard, who has served many times as a magistrate in the original history, but he once served in the state, but he was too shou of the party and did not come to such a north. Now that history has changed, Zheng Wengong will inevitably go around Xihe County, where birds don't.

Xihe County is vast, the Yellow River runs from south to north, and it is divided into a county, but there is not much arable land and few household registrations. The thirteen counties of the whole county, not only Meiji was named the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yuting, but the nearby Guangyan and Pingding counties, and even the Shangjun Zhenlin County, were all under the control of the Huns - so counting the household registration, these counties were never counted. Most of the Han people live near the county towns in the south, and according to Zheng Hunyu's report, there are only more than 4,000 households, less than 20,000 people, which is not as good as an ordinary county in Yingchuan, Chenliu and other places.

Shi Xun entered the government to check the household registration, and couldn't help but ask: "Is there a hidden household?" Zheng Hun replied that there are naturally hidden households, but the number will not be large, because the county is too poor, so there are no big families. The largest landlords owned at most a few acres of barren land. Raising a dozen or twenty tenant farmers—when he made a report. There was a wry smile on his face. As the so-called "it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice", it seems that this famous Taishou in history has nothing to do with this poor place, and relies on Taiyuan County in the east and Hedong County in the south to provide grain.

Ji Hoon asked about the situation of the various forces in the county. Zheng Hun reported that the Southern Xiongnu had about 20,000 to 30,000 victorious soldiers in Shan Yuting, but they were quite honest and did not go south to invade the Han land. But sometimes the Xianbei people of Shuofang would rush into Shangjun and Xihe to fight the grass valley. Huchuquan Department, previously arranged in Yuanyin, Yuanyang two counties, because the old base in Pingyang, Hedong was uprooted, has become a tree without roots, people's hearts are scattered, it is said that there will be three or five to ride north to go to the court when you see Tian'er, and its momentum is declining. Not long ago, Zhang He led 5,000 Han troops to arrive, and they camped near the Huchuquan camp and practiced every day. It made those Hu riders even more panicked.

Moreover, the imperial court had previously sent angels to arrive. Summoned Chuquan and Beibei to go to Xudu for the Hajj, but they did not dare to disobey under internal and external troubles, so they had to form a team. Speaking of this, he raised his head and asked Shixun: "The intention of the imperial court, or to annex their departments?" ”

In fact, summoning Hu Chuquan and others to go to Xudu was Xun's idea for Cao Cao, but it was not out of his own wisdom. Because in the original history, Cao Cao did this after completely stabilizing the annexation of the state and suppressing the Gaogan rebellion, and called away all the famous kings such as Huchuquan, and then left Xu Du for a long time, did not let it back, and took the opportunity to divide it into five, scattered and lived, and organized the people together, together with the Han people. If it weren't for the "Eight Kings Rebellion" in the early years of the Western Jin Dynasty, which introduced Hu Qi into the Central Plains, Cao Cao's policy would have lasted for two or three more generations, and it is estimated that the Xiongnu would have been completely digested.

Therefore, Xun copied the wisdom of Cao Cao in the original history, and then sold it to Cao Cao, and took Hu Chuquan and them away in advance - after he was captured, he handed it over to the imperial court, with this magic weapon tempted, and then Zhang He led the troops to deter, and Jia Qu, the captain of the Huns in Hedong, pinched the Hu family's dependents, are you afraid that they will not take the bait?

However, Shi Xun did not immediately plan to eat all the more than 10,000 soldiers under Hu Chuquan's department. After all, Shan Yuting is not far away, and he is in a hurry, and all the Hu people are going north to Shan Yuting, isn't that to drive fish for the abyss and make wedding clothes for others?

So he thought about it for a while and asked Zheng Hun: "Hu Chuquan and the others have gone, who is the main one in his department today?" "Of course, it is impossible for those few people to leave their soldiers and horses without arrangement, and go straight to Xudu, how did they arrange it? Who will be sent to temporarily manage their subordinates?

Zheng Hun does have two brushes, although he has only been in office for half a year, because of hardware constraints, he has hardly been able to make any achievements, but for the situation in the county and the surrounding areas, he has a clear understanding, it is Xun who asks, he has answers, and it is clear and focused. According to Zheng Hun's report, Shixun quickly figured out that he had a brother in Qubei, because his mother had a low status, so he had not been crowned king, but only a household, and Hu Chuquan ordered him to temporarily take charge of the people. Interestingly, this person followed his brother to be humble, and he also gave him a Chinese name, called Liu Jing.

Zheng Hun said that this Liu Jing was very deferential, and he visited Zhang He and himself successively, on the one hand, he said that the grain and grass were insufficient, and asked the court for relief, on the other hand, he showed his loyalty, and also tried to see if he could send his family members who were detained by Jia Qu in Pingyang to Xihe?

Shihoon chatted with Jung Hun for a whole afternoon, until it was dark, and finally figured out everything he wanted to know. Zheng Hun apologized to Shixun, saying that he heard that the imperial court split and merged the state and set up Shuozhou, and it is estimated that the state officials will set the governance office in Lishi - at present, what the imperial court can control is only the half of Xihe County, and if it is not located in the county to govern Lishi, where else can it be set up? So Zheng Hun mobilized materials and manpower and began to build the state office, but it was a pity - "The king came very quickly, but it was not completed in time." ”

It was Xun Xin who said that you still think I came in a hurry, in order to wait for Hu Chuquan and them to leave first, I have already traveled everywhere to play in the mountains and rivers, go to banquets and eat, and I am walking slowly enough. However, judging by Xihe's current financial situation and the number of servants, if he really built a magnificent and new state office in just a few months, he would doubt the integrity of Zheng Hun. Therefore, he shook his head slightly: "It's okay, there are tiles to live in for the time being." Speaking of this, he suddenly smiled faintly: "The governance of Shuozhou, I intend to place it in Meiji is the best." ”

When Zheng Hun heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then he was overjoyed - how Cao Cao planned to solve the problem of Zhuhu in Shuozhou, of course, he would not inform him in advance of this small county guard, he only estimated that Zhang He led the army into the county in order to solve the Huchuquan department, but he didn't expect that it was the assassin Shi who was ambitious. I actually wanted to bring the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yuting to the end - Meiji is where Shan Yuting is located. This even said that the state should be set up in Meiji. Of course, you have to grab it first. On the one hand, if the Hu forces in the county can be eliminated, the territory under Zheng Hun's jurisdiction can be doubled, and the number of household registrations will increase by at least 50%. On the other hand, the upper and lower organs are all located in the same city, and it is convenient for the upper officials to do things. The lower officials will inevitably be hindered everywhere, and if the governor moves elsewhere, his life as a county guard will be much more comfortable.

It's like there was a folk song in the Qing Dynasty later, saying: "If you were not good in the previous life, you will know the county in this life; In the previous life, he did evil, and the county was attached to Guo; The evil is full of evil, attached to the provincial city of Guo. ”

Therefore, when Zheng Hun heard that Shixun revealed a little bit of news, he immediately made up his mind: "Hun, please attach Jun Jiwei, expel Hu Qi, and settle on the West River." But if there is a drive, you will not dare to quit! ”

Zheng Hun said that the state office has not yet been completed. In fact, there is an empty field, and the land has just been leveled, and the foundation has not even had time to be laid. Shi Xun casually said, "There are tiles to live in for the time being", but the problem is that there are no tiles yet...... Zheng Hun had no choice but to tell the only merchant in the city to give up a few rooms for the Assassin and his subordinates to live temporarily.

Shi Xun was led to the place by him to take a look, and saw that several houses were all dusty, the walls were full of water stains, and there were many moths on the pillars - but compared to the county office that was discussing with Zheng Hun just now, it was basically the same. It was Xun Xin who said that it is estimated that there will be no decent house in this stone city, so it's just that-"I have four hundred, how to settle it?" ”

Zheng Hun said that he should either temporarily stay outside the city, or set up a tent in the empty field that he had just circled out and planned to be used as a state office. Shi Xun shook his head again and again: "The stone is dilapidated, the city wall is endless, the county soldiers are weak, the armor soldiers are not even, and the Hu people covet the side, how can I live elsewhere?" "Isn't it too dangerous to separate me from my men? Well, I'll go and pitch a tent with them.

So they lit a bonfire and pitched a tent in that open field. Shi Xun asked someone to move a small horse (Hu chair) over, sat next to the bonfire, and pointed to Jing Huanxiao: "And order Hu Qi to come." ”

At the beginning, when Xun went out of the town of Hedong and went to Pingyang to negotiate with Hu Chuquan, Hu Chuquan gave him 50 Hun soldiers as a unit, and then some died in battle, some died of illness, and there were 37 left. In a short time, Jing Junxiao brought all the thirty-seven people over, knelt down on one knee in front of Shi Xun, and asked together: "The master summoned me to come, I don't know what to order?" ”

At the beginning, Hu Chuquan gave the song to Xun, basically they can speak a few words of Chinese, and after following him for so long, not only has his language skills improved greatly, but even seven or eight have begun to read and write, so it will not be inconvenient for Xun to communicate with them. When he stroked his beard, he opened his mouth and asked, "How have I treated you since you?" ”

Shi Xun has put a lot of effort into his own subordinates, not only is he a good soldier and a high salary, but he also eats and lives with them for ten days and a half months, and asks about daily life to get closer to each other. In particular, the background of these Hun soldiers is not high, although they have courage, they are not reused in the very strict and primitive tribes with a very strict hierarchy, and when they follow Shixun, Jia Qu, the captain of the Huns, is originally a disciple of Xun, so he will naturally look at their families differently. In Pingyang and other four counties, Jia Qu organized the old and weak Xiongnu into households and made them reclaim the famine, among which the families who were distributed to the families of Xun Buqu were all good land, and they had to pick up rich agricultural tools first, and specially designated a few Han families to teach them farming. In addition, these Hun soldiers received a lot of rewards from Shixun and sent them home, seeing that those dozens of families were about to become new small landlords in Pingyang and other places.

Therefore, the vast majority of the Huns are desperate for Xun. The Xiongnu originally did not have a profound concept of nation and state (in fact, even the Han people were no better at this time), and even if Xun asked them to wave swords and spears at their own people, or even let them attack and kill Shan Yu, they would not say anything.

So at this moment, it was Xun who asked, how do I treat you? The Huns replied in a chaotic manner, "The master treats me very well. "The villain is willing to work hard for his master to repay his kindness!" There is only one voice with the loudest voice, and the tone of the Chinese dialect is also correct, and he raised his voice: "The lord is high in heaven and high in virtue, and it is difficult for us to repay in case of emergency, if there is a send, how dare you disobey?" There are 3,000 dead soldiers in Xitian, and now the villain is willing to be the dead soldier of the lord! ”

When Shi Xun heard this, he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth slightly-he actually compared Tian Heng to me? You're cursing me...... (To be continued......)
