When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

The war in the Central Plains continued from autumn to winter.

At the same time, for a period of time after the hunting and martial arts performance, Zisong did not appear in front of Xinqu.

Xin Qu had no time to take care of him as he was busy arranging the resettlement of a group of slaves sent from the Northeast.

In Liaoyang, the slave-hunting war between the three major ethnic groups of Sushen, Guzhu and Wimo was completely triggered by the rare heavy snow in Northeast China this year.

Originally, the Guzhu tribes were driven away by the State of Yan and had little savings. Now, due to heavy snowfall, they suffered a lot of losses in livestock.

In addition, Xinqu had a rare good harvest, and he went north to open up new areas and set up new hegemony. These places needed slaves and population to supplement the labor force, so he increased the trade in slaves from the north.

Bags of yellow corn were placed in front of all the tribes affected by the snowstorm. Since they could not defeat the State of Yan, they could only exploit the tribes internally or divert conflicts to other relatively weaker enemies.

Then they could no longer control their anger. The more they fought, the more small tribes became displaced and fled. Some of these people were not suitable to stay in the northern border area, so most of them were moved to the west, but those who possessed technology, historical materials and other skills had to be screened and left in Peking.

Xin Qu personally kept an eye on it because he didn't want to miss out on any talent.

Sure enough, over the past six months, he had managed to recruit a group of witches and leaders, and these witches brought some historical materials about the destruction of the Xia Dynasty.

But the subsequent news from the Central Plains made Xin Qu realize some problems. That is, he had to delay the time when the strength of Yan State was completely exposed. However, he had to find a way to get involved in the Central Plains War and the subsequent Shang clan's conquest of Southern Qiang. Even if he could not train troops, he had to figure out the local map.

The unclear map is the obstacle to conquest in this era, so we must find out the truth.

Since I cannot take action myself, I still have to explore the geography, maps, population, etc. of the west, so I have to use a secondary account.

So, under the lights.

Xin Qu was looking at the inscriptions on a sacrificial pottery. Beside him sat Wu Xiaoye and some other great witches.

"The process of the Xia Dynasty being destroyed by the Shang Dynasty was not a one-off event. It started with Cheng Tang and lasted until the Wo Ding period, when the remnants of the Xia Dynasty in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River were finally eliminated. During this process, the Xia Dynasty spread out and developed in all directions.

In addition to the Southern Qiang, there were several tribes among the Sushen tribes that migrated eastward from the grasslands. They were called hung. "

After hearing the introduction by the chief witch of the fox tribe, Xin Qu finally found the word "hung" represented by "雄上雄下胄" on the pottery.

This character is a variant of the character "兇" which was used by a lost tribe in Northeast China during this era.

In the language of the Fox Tribe, the word "凶" specifically refers to the hungry or means famine.

This group of brutal men who fled to the north went to the territory of Sushen and started burning, killing and looting. Therefore, the locals called them the symbol of famine. Their appearance would rob the tribe of its food and cause hunger.

"So where are they now?" Wu Xiaoye asked curiously, "Since they are descendants of the Xia Dynasty, our Yan State is also considered a descendant of the Xia Dynasty. If their lives are not going well, they can be brought under the rule of our Yan State."

"They fled to the south a long time ago." The chief witch of the fox tribe explained, "They now call themselves Xunyu."

After hearing the Great Shaman's pronunciation, Shaman Xiaoye glanced at the calm Xin Qu, and a Shaman from the Xunyu Tribe below also looked at the Great Shaman of the Fox Tribe in surprise and said, "My ancestors migrated from the south to the north, and later they did have the experience of nomadic life on the grassland, but now we are not all nomadic anymore."

"You are the murderers?" The chief witch of the Fox Tribe looked at the witch of the Xunyu Tribe and shook his head slightly, "Not likely. You are obviously extremely vicious..."

"This happened many years ago. Maybe it was true in the past, but we have given up our old way of life and accepted the teachings of Yan." The witch of the Xunyu tribe denied it flatly, and refused to admit that they represented the Xiongnu. "Besides, our tribe split before migrating south, and maybe a group of people are still wandering in the grasslands further north."

"After a long period of time, the evolution of ethnic groups becomes a mess." Xin Qu said, "I don't care about this. Those who enter China and do Chinese things are Chinese. Those who leave China and do barbarian things are barbarians.

Not to mention that this discussion is just a pretext to avoid getting directly involved in the Western War.

Regardless of the Yanhuang, Lisu, Yao, Shun, Yu and Tang, they are all tribes that extend from one vein. If you are willing to enter my Yan State and become a citizen of my Yan State, then you are my own people.

In short, since it has been confirmed that Xunyu is a branch of Emperor Xia, then let's just name it a side branch of Emperor Xia.

I will send out thirty elite nomadic warriors from the Xunyu clan, and I will arrange a hegemon to accompany you. You will go south through Guifang and head to Longyou to provide assistance to the Youxia clan.

No matter what the outcome is, we cannot let the Shang clan drive the enemy out of Luodi so easily. We must buy more time for our development and find out the situation in the west as soon as possible.

As for the name of the tribe, let’s call it Xiong.” The war between the western tribe and the Shang tribe was related to the time when the Zhou Dynasty rose.

Xin Qu made a brief deduction and thought that it was very likely that Ji Zhou would become the spokesperson of the Shang clan in the northwest during the next period of time, and then gradually destroy the Southern Qiang, that is, the Youxia clan, plundered the last essence of the Youxia clan's development, and then quickly rose.

Now, we are only twenty years away from the most critical Wu Ding period in history at the earliest and fifty years at the latest.

Xin Qu thought that it was very likely that he saw this happen.

Since it could happen, it is impossible to sit idly by.

Therefore, he had to find a reason to get involved, but at the same time he couldn't expose himself completely.

Now, the appearance of the Huns does not matter even if it appears hundreds of years earlier. The key point is to confirm his identity as a descendant of the Xia Dynasty, and then clear this matter from him.

Finally, with the cooperation of the chief witch of the Fox Tribe, the ethnic name was perfected. Xin Qu took up his pen and named his third son, a one-month-old baby (born to the witch Xiaoye), Xin Chengli, as Chengli and honored him with the title of Shanyu.

Then the great wizard Hu was named the Right Wise King, in charge of witchcraft. He selected some wizard talents from their Hu tribe and other wizards from the northeast to fill the Right Wise King's system, and gave them the surname Linghu.

Afterwards, Xin Qu appointed Fu Tu as the Left Wise King, and made Fu Tu's fourth son, Fu Gao, the heir apparent of the Left Wise King, and gave him the clan name Luan Ti.

In this way, a nomadic Hun clan was established.

The nomadic black gloves of Yan State were also made.

Of course, no one knows how long this ethnic group can exist. One day, they might become useless and be annexed by other nations.

After finishing the construction of the Xiongnu tribe, Xinqu sent some ambiguous information to Zisong, who was staying with him to eat and drink, waiting for the opportunity to go back.

That’s right, Zisong hasn’t gone back yet. Xin Qu has sent away all the people he should have sent, but this guy still hasn’t left.

The purpose is self-evident, which is to keep an eye on the State of Yan.

Dayi Shang was afraid that the State of Yan would cause trouble.

Once Xin Qu made any unusual moves, Zisong could easily escape to Cangyi and then gather the princes of Hebei to fight against Xin Qu.

But with this guy around, Xinqu’s subsequent plans are likely to be obstructed, especially the construction of canals between the Haihe and Yellow River systems.

Zisong’s existence could cause trouble at any time, which is very annoying.

Therefore, he must be sent away.

"What the hell are these Huns? Why haven't I heard of them?"

"I checked. A hundred years ago, when Sushen came to pay tribute, they asked us to support them in fighting against a murderer. The Guzhu clan chased the murderer all the way to the northeast. This Xiongnu is the descendant of that murderer."

Zisong remained expressionless throughout the entire conversation, listening to the conversation below.

The latest intelligence sent by Xin Qu was that a group of Hun tribes claiming to be descendants of the Xia Dynasty asked the Xin clan, who were also descendants of the Xia Dynasty, to provide supplies so that they could rescue the Xia clan.

Xin Qu agreed.

Xin Qu could not refuse the conditions offered by the other party, which was that they were willing to trade slaves.

In other words, someone provided Yan State with the human resources that it lacked the most.

Even if Xin Qu did not stab the Shang clan in the back, he was secretly supporting the Xia clan, hoping that the Central Plains would continue to be in chaos.

Really... he is good at taking advantage of every opportunity! (End of this chapter)
