The banner with the word "Jin" was taken down.

Xin Yan looked at it and threw it away without intending to keep it.

To act like this is a ruthless person, and he has no intention of leaving a way out for himself.

At the same time, another big flag with the word "Liang" was raised.

Everyone inside and outside Hancheng saw this scene clearly. Henan changed overnight.

The strong men from various tribes who were drafted here because of the war looked at each other.

But it doesn’t matter. After decades of Jin generation, the Liangzhou shogunate still had a certain degree of power over these tribes. This power declined for a while, but it was restored after Malong’s western expedition to Liangzhou and the great destruction of the Bald Tree’s function.

Quite a few, and then declined. To this day, the last part remains, allowing them to subconsciously follow the Liangzhou shogunate and its middle and lower-level officials who directly govern them when making decisions, and the police are like guns and guard the army Xin Yan.

They really don't understand what happened to the Jin Dynasty and the Liang Dynasty. Many people even don't know that the Liang Dynasty has already been founded. Xin Yan brought them to submit to the new dynasty, and they just habitually obeyed the orders of their superiors.

As for how long they will comply, it depends on whether any external power breaks their psychological habits, or they simply develop their own ambitions, disenchant the Hanhu Army and even the Liangzhou shogunate, and go it alone.

For now, it's clear they followed Xin Yan's orders.

Tens of thousands of people who were building the city suddenly took up their weapons, led their horses, and set off in a mighty manner toward the Huangshui River Valley.

Wen Jiao came to Sangcheng Town.

After learning that Xin Yan did not lead his army eastward, but directly went north, he immediately sent out the troops at hand and crossed the Wogan Mountains northward to Jincheng.

The reason is simple: fighter planes are fleeting, and if we delay and wait until Kim Jong's main army arrives before heading north, the situation in Jincheng may change.

Jin Ming, the general of Sangcheng Town, thought over and over again and decided not to send troops and waited for General Jin Zheng's order.

At this time, the situation in Jincheng County was very delicate.

On the fifth day of April, after learning of Xin Yan's "rebellion", Dou Tao, the prefect of Jincheng and the general of light chariots, made a decisive decision and led 5,000 cavalry southward towards Wogan Ridge.

There is a stronghold on the ridge, which was built before winter last year to cope with the tense situation.

The guard is the former aunt Zang Ling Xin Yan, who has two thousand soldiers, but he doesn't know his position. In short, Dou Tao thinks that he should be captured, and then use Wogan Ridge as a screen to seize the favorable terrain. Whether to surrender or fight to the death, it all depends on him.

You can choose freely.

Of course, there is another very important reason, but this is not enough for outsiders...

After Dou Tao led his troops to leave, the gate of Jincheng County was immediately closed tightly, as if the city defenders had realized something and were trembling with fear as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

They're right to be nervous.

Just the day after Dou Tao left, intense mobilization was going on in a large manor north of Jincheng, backed by mountains and facing a river.

A common proverb from the Jin Dynasty: "You have countless cattle and sheep when traveling with you; open the red gate to the south and look at the brothel to the north."

He is talking about the two major wealthy families in Jincheng County and the You family.

So here comes the question, if you don’t count cattle and sheep, how can you count them? The answer is very simple and crude: valley.

How many cattle and sheep do you have in the valley? I have ten.

I have cattle and sheep from twenty valleys, and I am richer than you.

The wealthy families in the border areas are so willful.

On this day, the descendants of the family gathered from all over the place, and the incident was close at hand——"

******

"Third uncle, are you rebelling again?" The rumble of horse hooves sounded outside the manor. As they approached, Tao Qingqing jumped off the horse and shouted loudly.

When the white-haired Ke heard the words, he smiled faintly and said, "In which year did my family rebel less? It was Shao Xun's rule in Liangzhou. If it was not satisfactory, it would be correct to follow the rebellion."

Hantao laughed heartily.

In the Bianzhang period of the Han Dynasty, Han Sui was in chaos in Liangzhou, so the clan took advantage of troubled waters. In the end, he beheaded Han Sui and jumped around repeatedly.

During the Three Kingdoms period, clan people continued to rebel.

When Zhang Gui was in charge of Liangzhou, Huang and Hanpei conspired to depose Zhang Gui and replace him with brothers Zhang Yue and Zhang Zhen (the latter was the prefect of Wuwei at the time). After the failure, Hanru and others "hijacked" the former Fulu Ling Ke

He planned to respond to Pei Bao, the governor of Qinzhou, and seize power, but was finally put down by Zhang Shi.

They made trouble again and again, and the Zhang family couldn't do anything about them.

Ju's family is quick to cut off, and it is clear from the outside that it is a line with the rebellious tribesmen. At the same time, it is a local snake. You are cheating on an outsider. You have no foundation and can only rely on your own strength. How can you uproot the family?

Han Ru took advantage of Zhang Gui's stroke to rebel. For such a big thing, he could not kill him, so he had to "migrate to more than 600 Yuan evil families". It was not until later that Ru rebelled for the third time and it was put down.

The cost of pursuing only "more than 600 families" in one rebellion is too low, so we rebelled again today.

"Is Zao Lang back?" Ke asked as he walked out of the manor gate.

"He ran away the day before yesterday. He should be back soon." Tao replied, "I have sent someone to pick him up."

"Zao Lang" is named Hu, and he is a soldier of Zhang Jun's shogunate. When his family rebels, he will of course run away.

However, in theory it's not a big deal.

It was Ke who rebelled. What does it have to do with Hu?

But everything should be done just in case. If Zhang Jun gets angry and kills Han Hu, wouldn't his death be in vain? Therefore, Han Hu strongly requested to run away first, and you should slow down the rebellion.

"Come back as soon as you come back. There's no point in joining the army." Ke said, "The Emperor of Daliang has promised me the post of governor of Jincheng, but Wu Wei doesn't want it anymore!"

"Haha." Tao laughed and said, "The third uncle finally figured it out. It's a pity that the second uncle, fifth uncle and others couldn't figure it out back then, so they had to go to Chang'an to wade through the muddy waters. Not only did they lose soldiers and generals, they also let Zhang Gui, Zhang Shi and his son earn money.

gained fame."

In fact, Han Tao also traveled eastward.

Zhang Gui sent him to take three thousand elite troops eastward to see the situation, and finally ran back halfway.

Guanzhong is too chaotic, people from all walks of life are massacred,

The Xiongnu can figure it out, Shao Xun can figure it out, but their clan does not have this ability. Look left and right, it is better to occupy Jincheng, unite with the You clan to defeat the Dou clan first, and then kill the You clan, leaving the remaining Bian clan, Zong clan and other clans

They are all small households, not worth mentioning.

After truly controlling Jincheng, the richest county in Hexi, we will then find a way to capture everything south of Yanzhi Mountain - then we will have to face the Xin family as a roadblock, and there is a long way to go.

"Third uncle, I understand. My nephew is leaving today. Don't delay." Ke said, "The nights are long and there are many dreams. Let's capture Yuzhong first and establish our family's reputation. In the future, even if the king of Daliang arrives, we can't regret it."

Already."

"Okay!" Ju Tao stopped talking nonsense, looked at the armored soldiers lining up outside the manor, and said, "Third uncle, you have to help me with my troops."

"I'll give you two thousand." Ke said, "These two thousand five hundred elite soldiers are enough."

Hantao nodded and immediately went to order troops.

After a while, the army surged out, crossed the Yellow River in one day, and went south to the outside of Yuzhong City.

Just when he was about to call the door, he saw a cloud of arrows falling from the top of the city, injuring several soldiers.

Han Tao cursed loudly and said: "Xin Mao, to this day, you still want to work hard for the Zhang family? Have you forgotten about your aunt?"

Hearing this, a man at the top of the city leaned out half of his body, cupped his hands, and said, "General, I don't have to worry about my family's affairs. My uncle has become the governor of Hezhou and is coming here on the road. General, if nothing happens, you can go on your own."

.”

When Tao heard this, he realized that the secret passage was broken.

Starting from Han, proceed along the Lishui (Daxia River) valley to Zuonan County, Jinxing County and Zuonanjin (now submerged in Liujiaxia Reservoir). After crossing the river, turn northeast and reach Jincheng County (now west of Lanzhou).

), further east is Jincheng County, which governs Yuzhong County.

This is to rob Jincheng County.

My maidservant! I cannot let you be proud of me!

However, he didn't have any good ideas.

The cavalry couldn't attack the city, so how could they dismount and attack? But they lacked siege equipment, so for a while they didn't know what to do.

Xin Mao at the top of the city breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him.

There were really few soldiers in the city, and most of them were taken away by the prefect Dou Tao.

As for why Dou Tao ran away, it was actually very simple: he couldn't stay any longer.

His lair is not here, it was purely supported by Zhang Gui to support Douyou and the two families. If he is blocked in Yuzhong, what if the tribe is raided? Who can he talk to to reason?

These families south of Yanzhi Mountain have quite a lot of conflicts with each other and fight fiercely. Otherwise, how could the Zhang family be so proud now?

What Han Tao said about his aunt just now is not groundless.

At that time, the clan uncle Xin was responsible for Zhang Gui. Gui wanted to seize his wife and take her as his widowed sister's wife. The clan uncle was unwilling and cut off his nose to take the oath.

Zhang Gui was furious and moved him to be the governor of Dunhuang. His uncle died soon after, "so he died of worry."

In the Zhang Mao era, his father Xin Ping was the prefect of Dunhuang. At that time, he (Xin Mao) returned to Longxi to pay homage to his ancestors and sweep the tombs of his ancestors, and was left by Xin Yan. It happened that there was a rumor in Wuwei that Xin Yan was going to rebel, so his father had to take the initiative to stand up and suggest Zhang Mao.

Mao attacked Xin Yan.

Zhang Maowen asked you that you are an only son and you are "strongly stubborn" for Xin Yan. Are you not afraid of being killed?

This question is a bit heart-wrenching, because it seems to suggest that the Xin family is colluding together. Are you sure that Xin Yan will not kill your only son for the sake of his fellow clan?
