Chapter 155 July Changes
Now that we know the reason, it will be easy to deal with.
Moreover, Zhao Wei in Beijing also thought so about this wrong information.
He didn't think there was anything wrong with doing so.
On the one hand, it tied down Li Xin of Dingzhou, and on the other hand, it forced King Zhao Hui of Yan to prepare for war.
Moreover, King Zhao Jing of Jin cannot escape blame for the incident in Bingzhou.
Suddenly, the number of people who posed a threat to him was basically reduced by half, and Zhao Wei was so happy that he couldn't contain himself.
How can I allow others to sleep soundly on my bed?
The changes in Bingzhou made Zhao Qin unable to sleep or eat.
Moreover, Sima Ling of the Sima family in Qin was also furious about this.
"This can't be the work of the Wang family!"
Sima Ling was basically certain that the Wang family was involved.
But the Sima family and the Wang family have business dealings, why did the Wang family do this?
The Xianbei people were a powerful ethnic group in Northeast China in history, and they have an important position in Chinese history.
There were nomadic peoples such as the Xiongnu, Turks, Uighurs, and Tubo in the north, but in terms of influence, the Xianbei was definitely the greatest.
It can be said that "a history of the Xianbei is half a history of nomadic peoples". More than half of the history of nomadic peoples was created by the Xianbei.
Several famous surnames in history are from the Xianbei people, including Murong, Duan, Tuoba, Shanyu, Yuwen, etc.
Perhaps because they were too outstanding, surnames such as Yelu and Wanyan, who were active in the Xiongnu, also came from the Xianbei tribe.
Because of their excellence, the Xianbei were easily divided.
After the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Zhao family also relied on the help of the Xianbei, such as the Duan family, the Murong family, the Yuchi family, etc.
Yanzhou was originally favored by the Murong clan, who wanted to take it as their territory. However, the intervention of the Lu clan led to the Li clan's expedition to the west, and they took Yanzhou in one fell swoop. At this time, the Li clan was very powerful.
Among them, the Longxi Li family was particularly powerful, spanning the Qin and Jin regions.
As the representative of the Li family at that time, Li Xin appointed a king of a different surname to protect the roots of the Li family in Zhao County, thereby undermining the power of the Li family in Yan.
This question has troubled some people in Han culture for a long time. The Li family of the Tang Dynasty originally believed that the Longxi Li family came from the Xianbei, especially his wife Changsun, who was undoubtedly a Xianbei.
For many years, some people have wanted to sinicize the Xianbei people. Unfortunately, how many ethnic groups originated from the Xianbei?
So let’s not discuss certain nationalities here. As long as you are not from the Golden Family, you are basically Asian.
The Sima family was also in this situation. When he learned that the Wang family and the Xianbei had allied, he could no longer hold back.
"Consult the King of Qin on this matter, otherwise there will be turmoil here in the future, and he won't be able to control it."
By the Zhou Dynasty, the surname Sima was not just a surname, but represented a right and an identity.
Especially the Sima family in Qin, Sima, Sikong and Situ have been a symbol of status in all dynasties.
Only Sima is the most controversial!
Because the Huns also had the concept of Grand Sima.
For this reason, the Sima family was most wary of the entry of foreign races, especially the Xianbei, followed by foreign races such as the Xiongnu.
After Zhao Qin met Sima Ling and asked about the reason for the incident, he also became wary of the appearance of 100,000 Xianbei tribesmen in Bingzhou.
"Have you found out who Bingzhou belongs to?"
Sima Ling knew that the question was about the Xianbei surname.
"Find out, it's from the Tuoba family!"
Zhao Qin suddenly stood up and said, "The Tuoba are now the main force of the Xiongnu and are also a major Xianbei family. This family is very despicable, and after splitting into two, their intentions are very obvious."
"What do you mean?" Sima Ling also felt that there was something fishy about the problem. If Tuoba did not use Xianbei to help the Wang family, or if the Lu family sent troops, it would inevitably provoke the Xiongnu Tuoba family.
"We need to have a plan. We can't be beaten like this." Sima Ling said after calming down.
"Returning the regular troops for defense is equivalent to giving up Shangjun. Instead of this, it is better to give up Shangjun and form an offensive and defensive alliance." Zhao Qin defined the Qin territory in one sentence. When necessary, Shangjun can be abandoned and the allied forces can be recruited.
"Yan Ruxiang may not agree with this issue. We need to find a way to decentralize power, and then he will have to do it."
Sima Ling spread out his clenched fist, drew an arc in front of him, and then clenched it again.
"First, replace the generals guarding Chang'an City, let General Yan return to take charge, and then form an army to defend the southeast."
Shangjun is quite far from Chang'an. Once a mutiny occurs in Bingzhou, the first stop will most likely be Shangjun. At that time, Zhao Qin will definitely be unwilling to send troops to support.
Instead of doing this, it would be better to let the ally Liangzhou send troops to assist in the defense of Shangjun.
The problem is that Yan Ruxiang would not agree to do this.
"That's fine too. Sima Yan is the garrison general guarding Chang'an. There will be no problem going to Yanqing Prefecture to take over the defense."
After listening to Sima Ling's words, Zhao Qin let down his guard. He had long wanted to remove Sima Yan's power in Chang'an. If he could take this opportunity to transfer out of Chang'an, it would definitely be a good thing for him.
Yanqing Prefecture is the general name for Yanzhou and Qingzhou. Qin's territory is vast, and these two places just happened to form a defense zone, so a prefecture was established in Yanzhou, which was in charge of Qingzhou and Hancheng.
If Sima Yan went there, he would not be able to control the military and political affairs here within two or three years.
So Zhao Qin was not worried about any accidents at all.
Yan Ruxiang returned to Chang'an, thinking that the replacement money and grain had arrived.
"Prince Qin, have the imperial court's approval for the money and grain arrived?"
"General Yan, the emperor hasn't been to court for a long time. Let's not worry about the money issue for now. There is something going on in Bingzhou, and we must be on guard."
"I also received news that the Tuoba family is in Bingzhou. The question is who let them in?"
"If the Tuoba family came in, and they were Xianbei, they might have been invited by the Wang family."
"Is the Wang family so bold?"
Yan Ruxiang's eyes were bloodshot. When fighting against the Huns, the Tuoba family was the vanguard of the Huns. Later, the Tuoba family changed its ways and split up to become independent.
Became a notorious mercenary.
They are not subject to any restraint, but are loved by the surrounding tribes, especially some aristocratic families of the Great Zhou.
"I want you to organize a group of people from Yanqing and go to the northeast corner of Chang'an to deploy defenses. Be on standby at all times!"
The northeast corner of Chang'an that Zhao Qin mentioned was undoubtedly a disguised reference to the Hancheng area, which is just one corner of the Yanqing trident.
"Going to Hancheng?"
"It's up to the General to decide!"
"I will finally understand!"
"Sima Yan will go to Yanqing to take over your defense. You will return to Chang'an to serve as the commander-in-chief and coordinate the three armies."
It depends on where the position of the Dutong is placed. Being placed in Chang'an is no less than being the commander-in-chief, and it seems like a promotion.
"Who will lead the troops in Hancheng?"
Yan Ruxiang was a little puzzled and asked doubtfully.
"It's up to the General to decide!"
Say that again! Can you get something new?
Hancheng does not need experienced generals. Yan Ruxiang used to deploy a brave cavalry general here, who was Deng Liu, who was with him back then.
"So, I will transfer Shi Yongzhi to Hancheng, Deng Liu to Yanzhou, and Sima Yan will also serve in Qingzhou!"
"Well, General, it's up to you to decide!" Zhao Qin still said the same thing, without any change.
Yan Ruxiang was able to make a decision in such a short time, which shows how long he had been tempered in the state of war. As soon as Zhao Qin asked the question, his first reaction was to make arrangements.
But he never expected that Sima Yan's mission was to give up Shangjun. It was July and the winter wheat was about to be harvested. The losses of a large-scale migration to the south at this time could be imagined.
