The original headquarters of the Southern Xiongnu was in Meiji County, Xihe County, a little further north of Bingzhou.

Originally, Meiji County was a good place, the climate was suitable, the water and grass were abundant, but in recent years, the climate of Meiji County was more and more unbearable, and the Southern Xiongnu could not bear it, and the life could not go on, so they asked the court of Luoyang to move south.

Their request was granted, and the imperial court moved south to the vicinity of Zishi County, Taiyuan County, and settled down.

When their lives were unsustainable, the court reached out to help, and now is not the time for them to repay the favor?

Zhao Zhong believed that using them to participate in the battle could not only reduce the use of troops, but also reduce the rewards for various reasons, which was better than directly mobilizing more Knights of the Three Rivers who needed large rewards.

The people of Sanhe have been deceived a lot, they have learned well, and it is not easy to deceive, but the Southern Xiongnu are stupid, they are easy to deceive.

Liu Hong thought about it and felt that what Zhao Zhong said was reasonable.

Therefore, in line with the principle of being able to save the province, Liu Hong gave Huangfu Song the authority to mobilize the Southern Xiongnu cavalry, and issued an edict to the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu Qiangqu, ordering Qiangqu to prepare at least 10,000 Southern Xiongnu cavalry to wait for Huang Fu Song's dispatch, and prepare to crusade with Huang Fu Song to defeat the mountain bandits in Bingzhou.

The Southern Xiongnu were born in Qiangqu and were still relatively deferential to the Luoyang court, although petty theft and small friction were not less, but they were generally stable, more obedient, and belonged to the dove leaders.

The entire Southern Xiongnu also obeyed the orders of the Luoyang court for a long time, and on the whole, they were more obedient to the Luoyang court.

Therefore, after learning the order of the Luoyang court, Qiangqu ordered the Southern Xiongnu Zuoxian King to levy troops and horses and wait for the dispatch of Huangfu Song.

Most of the leadership of the Southern Xiongnu was still fed by the Han Empire, and they were willing to contribute if they had benefits.

But the key problem is that not every Southern Xiongnu is willing to risk their lives to do such a thing that is not very rewarding for them.

Moreover, the current Shan Yu Qiangqu is not a particularly charismatic and authoritative leader for the entire Southern Xiongnu tribe, and he is the first to think of himself if there is any benefit, and he does not like to share it with the subordinates, so the subordinates have a lot of complaints about him.

Previously, the Luoyang Imperial Court had also requisitioned the Southern Hun cavalry to fight, causing a large number of losses to the Southern Hun cavalry, and the rewards were not in place, and the reputation was not very good.

So after the news of this battle spread, the Southern Xiongnu people soon began to wonder if they were going to be pitted to death by the Luoyang court again.

As soon as the voice of suspicion appeared, many people began to be unwilling to respond to the call and unwilling to be conscripted to fight, but if the summons of the Luoyang court and Shan Yu's orders were not followed, it would be a crime of rebellion and bloodshed.

In addition, the big guy's dissatisfaction with Qiangqu has also accumulated to a certain extent, so let's just rebel.

So Huangfu Song's side was not even ready to set off, and a certain tribe of the Southern Xiongnu over there had taken the lead in raising the anti-flag, indicating that they were unwilling to respond to the call of Qiangqu, unwilling to follow King Zuo Xian to fight, and they did not want to work for the Luoyang court.

Qiangqu is really hopeless.

When one tribe rebels, the other tribes rebel along with it.

In a very short period of time, more than 100,000 people in the entire Southern Xiongnu raised anti-flags against Qiangqu and resolutely refused to obey orders.

Now Ziqiangqu panicked, and he was not busy currying favor with the Ruoyang court, so he quickly arranged for King Zuoxian to lead the troops to crusade against the rebellion, and further asked the Luoyang court for help-

Brother, I caused so many people to rebel against me in order to help you fight, and now my little brother is in trouble, should you help?

Good guys, the mountain bandits in Bingzhou are still black clouds that want to destroy the city, and a new storm has appeared here.

After Liu Hong learned the news, his head was as big as a bucket, and he stared at Zhao Zhong with an annoyed expression, and he wanted to unscrew his head to see if it was a brain.

Zhao Zhong is also very wronged, he also has something to say.

I'm also thinking about you, there's a big problem on your side, I'll help you find a way, but now it's useless, you can't say I made a mistake for this, right?

Liu Hong naturally didn't ask Zhao Zhong to blame, and Zhao Zhong couldn't say that he had made any mistakes in this matter.

However, because of this suggestion, a great rebellion broke out in the entire state, and Hadong County and Hanoi County were seriously impacted, and it was no longer a matter of whether the Ruyang Imperial Court wanted to control the scale of the war, that is, it was no longer possible to control it.

Liu Hong had no choice but to issue a general mobilization order and quickly recruit troops around Luoyang.

Now it is difficult to say whether Huangfu Song can solve this problem alone, so the Luoyang Imperial Court decided to take the 50,000 people under Huangfu Song as the vanguard, and the first batch rushed to fight the fire.

Zhang Rang suggested that the previous crusade against the Yellow Turban Army should be imitated, and the general He Jin should be used to coordinate logistics, and then the hussar general Zhang Wen, the Wei general He Miao, and the former general Zhou Shen should be the main commanders.

They worked together to recruit and train new recruits, urgently train and prepare, and once Huangfu Song's side couldn't solve it, they would immediately rush to support Huangfu Song.

The only point that this operation is beneficial to the Luoyang Imperial Court is that the battlefield is relatively close to the Luoyang base camp, and the logistical pressure is relatively small.

But the danger is also very dangerous, once Hedong County and Hanoi County are broken by the Southern Xiongnu rebels, Luoyang will become the front line.

Taiwei Lu Zhi also raised the possibility of a more dangerous situation, that is, the mountain bandits in Bingzhou took this opportunity to unite with the Southern Xiongnu rebels to jointly cause chaos in the local area and get involved in Henan, in that case, Luoyang would become very, very dangerous.

If he is not careful, Liu Hong, as the Son of Heaven, may lose his favorite home, the Imperial City of Luoyang.

This is a danger that has not been suffered for many years and generations, and if it is his turn, what a major blow to his prestige!

For this reason, Liu Hong was very worried, and did not play with his favorite concubines for three consecutive days, and did not enter the West Garden for three consecutive days, and held a rare military meeting for three consecutive days to discuss military aircraft with ministers with military experience such as Lu Zhi, Zhang Wen, and Zhou Shen.

In the end, they concluded that as long as the rebellion of the Southern Xiongnu could be quelled, then the threat of the bandits in Bingzhou was local, and the important issue now was that it was necessary to pay attention to the possibility of the Southern Xiongnu rebels and the bandits in Bingzhou.

Of course, Lu Zhi also thinks that there is still a turning point in this matter.

"Judging from the current situation, Shan Yu Qiangqu still obeys the orders of the imperial court and can fight against the rebels, my army only needs to unite with Qiangqu, and it should not be difficult to pacify the Southern Xiongnu rebels."

Lu Zhi made what he thought was an accurate judgment, and in this matter, Zhang Wen and Zhou Shen, who were also closely related to the ancient literature school, did not doubt it.

It's just that none of them are in the position of commander of the army now, and it is Huangfu Song and the 50,000 Han troops under his command who really go up to fight.

Whether the battle can be successful depends on Huangfu Song's performance.

Liu Bei was far away in Liangzhou, and he mainly relied on the intelligence officers under Liu Hui and Liu Hui himself, who traveled back and forth to deliver news about salt trafficking, so he was also quite concerned about the news of Luoyang.

Knowing the current predicament caused by the mountain bandits and the Southern Xiongnu rebellion in the Luoyang Imperial Court, he was quite helpless, some things have been formed for a long time, and freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and it cannot be solved overnight.

Even if the situation in the state is changed to him, it will take a certain amount of time and means, and it will also require a considerable amount of resource investment to solve it.

Of course, Liu Bei soon had no leisure to watch the drama of the Luoyang Imperial Court.

Something happened on his side, too.
