The last three kingdoms

Chapter 698
Hu Fen led his army all the way, and soon arrived at Puzi County, where the Huns were stationed in the south.

The commander of the southern Huns is Liu Jia. The southern Huns are weak among the five Huns. The left Huns annexed the right Huns. This undoubtedly made Liu Jia frightened. The southern Huns and the left and right Huns Being next to each other, Liu Jia was very worried that he would become Liu Bao's next target, so he used his clan's soldiers to take precautions day and night, until Hu Fen arrived in Puzi County, and Liu Jia was slightly relieved.

"See Mr. Hu." Liu Jia put his hand on his chest and bowed to Hu Fen in Hun manner.

Hu Fen casually cupped his hands as a return gift, Liu Jia welcomed Hu Fen into the tent, the two sat down, and Hu Fen asked, "What happened to make Liu Bao's left side annex Liu Kang's?" right side?"

Liu Jiadao: "My lord, there used to be constant rifts and conflicts between the left and the right, but this time the scale was not large, but this time Liu Bao's son Liu Yuan returned to the Zi family, under his instigation, Liu Bao Only then did you send troops to destroy Liu Kang in one fell swoop, this Liu Yuan is very ambitious, you must guard against him?"

"Liu Yuan?" Hu Fen was slightly taken aback. Liu Yuan was the prefect of the Shangdang, and according to his administrative affiliation, he was his subordinate. At the beginning, Hu Fen had some complaints about Liu Yuan's appointment as the prefect of the Shangdang. But they are all promoted level by level. Many officials can't cross the threshold of two thousand stones throughout their lives. Liu Yuan's prefect position is a bit too easy, not to mention that he is a barbarian. This made Hu Fen and other Bingzhou officials very uncomfortable psychologically.But Liu Yuan's official position was hand-picked by Sima Yan, of course Hu Fen couldn't object, he could only slander secretly in his heart.

Hu Fen didn't expect that it was Liu Yuan who provoked the trouble this time, so he couldn't help snorting heavily, and said: "You son of a yellow mouth, who is still young, dares to cause such trouble. Under the rule of the governor, that is absolutely not allowed." If this kind of thing happens, no matter whether it is Liu Bao or Liu Yuan, if they blatantly disobey orders, the governor will definitely punish them severely!"

Liu Jia said flatteringly: "The five ministries were originally in peace, but this time Liu Yuan bullied the weak and annexed the right party openly, setting a bad precedent, but fortunately you are here, Mr. Hu, Liu Yuan Father and son want to unify the five parts, it is completely wishful thinking."

"Unify the five tribes?" Hu Fen chuckled. This Liu Yuan's ambition is not small, but it is completely whimsical to want to unify the five tribes. In order to divide the power of the Huns, Cao Cao deliberately split the Southern Huns into five. Tribes that are independent of each other. For decades, this pattern has never changed. Liu Yuan wants to change the status quo by himself. Don't even think about making it through.You must know that Hu Fen represents the imperial court of the Jin Kingdom, and Liu Yuan wants to fight against the entire Jin Dynasty.

"The rule of five parts has a long history. It is the established plan of the imperial court, and it will not be allowed to be shaken. The governor came this time to mediate by order. The governor has sent a note to Liu Bao a few days ago, asking him to withdraw the army for a truce. If Liu Leopard and his son kept their duty and returned to Fenxi, but it’s fine, otherwise, they will definitely suffer a lot.”

Liu Jia complimented: "Master Hu is the backbone of our Bingzhou. With Mr. Hu around, we can feel at ease with a few departments."

After all, the strength of the Huns on the left made Liu Jia very afraid. This time, the situation in the south is also in danger after the right is destroyed. Liu Jia is very afraid that the Huns on the left will take victory and go south. Now he can hug Hu Fen's thick legs , Liu Jia was naturally relieved.

Hu Fen proudly said: "Since the governor has ruled Bingzhou, this is the first time someone has dared to challenge the authority of the governor. If you don't give them some color this time, they will think that the governor is so easy to bully. This time we must deal with it." Liu Bao and his son will severely punish them, and let them know what the sky is high and the earth is thick!"

While the two were talking, the Chinese army outside the door came in and handed over a letter, saying: "Report to the governor, Liu Bao, commander of the left, has a letter to send."

Hu Fen chuckled. It seemed that his tough and stern document had worked. He had just arrived in Puzi County, and Liu Bao's letter of reply had arrived. At least his attitude was good.

Opening the letter, it turned out to be Liu Bao's book of showing weakness. Liu Bao insisted in the letter that it was not their left side that provoked the incident, but Liu Kang's right side. They were just forced to fight back, but It was because they couldn't take over for a while that they reached Qi County, but the left side had no intention of annexing the right side, and they were ready to withdraw their troops in the near future, and handed over the affairs of the right side to Liu Qi, Liu Kang's son. All will be returned to the west bank of Fenshui.

Hu Fen laughed and said: "Sure enough, as I expected, Liu Bao was just putting on airs. As soon as our Dajin troops arrived, they were immediately frightened, and they took the initiative to give in. No matter what, it will save you the trouble of carrying swords and soldiers." Liu Jia, Liu Bao said that he wants to meet Ben Du in Jiexiu, so you go with Ben Du."

Liu Jiaxin said happily: "I am obedient to my job." It is also beneficial to go to Jiexiu with Hu Fen. At the very least, it can deter Liu Bao and his son, so that they will never dare to have the ambition to annex the southern Huns.

At present, Hu Fen gathers his troops and horses, hoping that Jiexiu will advance.

Compared with the previous period, this march is much easier. At that time, I heard that there was a big incident in Bingzhou, and Hu Fen was ordered to attack, so naturally he dared not slack off. , and made full preparations for war, thinking that perhaps only by fighting a battle can it be possible to solve the problem of the left part of the Huns.

However, Liu Bao's letter obviously made Hu Fen heave a sigh of relief, but it's normal to think about it. With the strength of the left part of the Xiongnu, if he wants to compete with the governor of Bingzhou who has soldiers in his hands, wouldn't it be an egg hitting a stone? What's more, standing behind Hu Fen is the imperial court of the Great Jin Dynasty. If the left part of the Xiongnu chooses to go to war with Hu Fen, it is completely provoking the authority of Sima Yan, the king of Jin. By then, the left part of the Huns will not survive If it exists, then a big question mark has to be put on it.

Those who know the current affairs are heroes, and Liu Bao's submission is not beyond Hu Fen's expectations. He has ruled Bingzhou for many years, and the temperament of these Hun commanders is not bad. Liu Bao is typical of the kind who listens hard Not listening to the soft type, Liu Bao flinched after a little intimidation.

Hu Fen's vigilance became much weaker unconsciously. The army marched northward. In addition to the 1 horses he brought, there were also [-] Xiongnu soldiers brought by Liu Jia. The momentum was quite majestic. Soon they Then came to Jiexiu Mianshan.
