The last three kingdoms

Chapter 704

Since the two countries of Jin and Shu reached a consensus on basic principles, the negotiations went relatively smoothly. The main issue was the number of troops stationed in Tongguan and Wuguan. After the agreement is reached, the two sides will only deploy a standing army of 1 people within [-] miles of the border, and the rest of the army must retreat to a range of [-] miles.

As for the truce period, there is no clear stipulation in the agreement. Regarding this point, both sides have some tacit understanding. After all, no one knows when the Hu people's rebellion will be put down. After the civil strife is put down, the agreement will undoubtedly be lost. Binding force, both sides may go to war at any time.

Anyway, no one will take things on paper too seriously. The reason why the two sides can sit down and talk can only show that both parties have demands in this regard and hope to get what they need.

After the agreement was reached, Chen Shou and Du Zhen immediately set off and returned to Tongguan.

The armistice agreement was reached so quickly, all the Shu generals were secretly amazed, but Liu Yin didn't take it seriously, because he knew that Sima Yan needed the armistice agreement more urgently than himself.

According to the agreement, Liu Yin will withdraw most of his troops from Tongguan, retaining only one battalion of garrison troops in Tongguan and Wuguan, and the rest of the troops will retreat to Chang'an.

Liu Yin had already negotiated with Liu Chen on this matter beforehand and reached a consensus, but the governor of Yongzhou had a different opinion on this, thinking that Liu Yin had reached a truce agreement with the state of Jin in private, which was suspected of exceeding his authority. Although Liu Yin is the governor of Yongliang and Liang's military forces, he has the right to cut first and then play, but it is very inappropriate to make decisions without consulting the imperial court for major decisions related to war and peace between countries.

However, Liu Yin also responded to this. Now the imperial court is still in Nanzhong, thousands of miles away. If you ask the imperial court for instructions and report, then it will definitely delay the opportunity of the war.

What's more, Liu Yin has already written a memorial on this matter and reported it to the court.

Facts also proved that Liu Yin's decision was correct. Just when Liu Yin returned to Chang'an, he received news that the Huns Hao San and Hao Yuandu rebelled in Xiayang, Fengyi County, and the rebellion spread extremely quickly. It is astonishingly wide. In just half a month, the four counties of Feng Yi, Beidi, Xinping, and Anding were all caught in war. The scale of the rebellion is astounding.

The doubts about Liu Yin were dispelled immediately, and all the generals in Guanzhong praised Liu Yin for his foresight. Will fall, and even threaten Chang'an.Liu Yin took the initiative to reach an armistice agreement with the Jin State and withdraw the main force from the Tongguan front line. Now it seems that it is undoubtedly the most sensible choice.

The Jin army at this moment obviously couldn't wait to complete the withdrawal. Most of Yanghu's army will be transferred to Nanyang, forming a trend of attacking the Zhonghui rebels in Xiangyang.But Du Yu's army withdrew from Wuguan, crossed the Yellow River north, and entered Bingzhou to put down the rebellion of Liu Yuan, a Hun.

Sima Yan felt a sense of relief. The problem of insufficient troops that had plagued him for many days was finally resolved. He believed that as long as the army arrived, no matter whether it was Zhonghui's rebellion or Liu Yuan's rebellion, it would be completed in a short time. put down.

However, Sima Yan's estimate of the situation was obviously too optimistic. Perhaps Sima Yan had never really taken a fancy to the Hu people. Even if Liu Yuan killed Hu Fen, even if he unified the five tribes of the Xiongnu However, in the eyes of Sima Yan, these barbarians are still difficult to achieve big things, so Sima Yan didn't pay much attention to the Huns' rebellion, and he didn't even pay enough attention to it. He sent the main force led by Yang Hu to deal with Zhonghui, while Du The pre-planned partial division will go north to deal with Liu Yuan.

But what Sima Yan didn't expect was that the storm caused by Liu Yuan's rebellion swept across the entire northern states in a short period of time. Jizhou was a rebellion of the Di people, and in Youzhou it was a rebellion of the Xianbei people. There was a lot of smoke and fire, and there was no response. Sima Yan only sent a team to Du Yu, which was completely useless.

The chaos of the war spread to the Hedong area, and the Hexi area controlled by the Shu army was not spared either.

In addition to the Liu Bao branch that moved southward into Bingzhou, another branch of the Xiongnu stayed in the Beidi area west of the Yellow River, south of Hetao, west of Bingzhou, and north of Guanzhong. In addition to the people, the Qiang, Di and Hu stand side by side, with the most complex ethnic composition. This area used to be under the jurisdiction of Shuofang County in Bingzhou of the Han Dynasty, but after entering the Three Kingdoms era, the influence of Cao Wei on this land gradually declined, and The rise of the Huns, Malan Qiang, Lushuihu and Di people made this land truly a place of chaos.

These Hu people are not satisfied with living on this land. They often roar southward, harass Guanzhong, burn, kill, rape, and plunder, and harm one side. Harassment seems helpless. For a long time, these barbarians have acted recklessly and recklessly in Guanzhong.

At this moment, Liu Yuan's rebellion in Bingzhou greatly stimulated the northern Huns, so brothers Hao San and Hao Yuandu of the Northern Xiongnu tribe took the lead in raising troops in Xiayang. The Shuihu people also rose up one after another, and the wave of rebellion quickly swept across the four counties of Beidi.

Compared with Liu Yuan's uprising in Bingzhou, the Northern Hu was much more chaotic. The Hu tribes fought on their own and were not affiliated with each other. It was only because other Hu tribes rebelled that they were unwilling to lag behind, and they also rebelled. It is not new for Zhu Hu to fight for territory, but the combination of so many forces still has a great impact on the situation in Guanzhong.

At this moment Liu Yin has returned to Chang'an, and Beidihu's rebellion did not surprise him at all. In order to stabilize the overall situation in Guanzhong, he must attack Beidihu heavily.

Liu Yin left Fu Qian's left army to guard Chang'an, and at the same time took care of the direction of Tongguan and Wuguan. Although he had signed a truce agreement with the state of Jin, Liu Yin did not dare to take it too seriously. After all, it was just a piece of waste paper at a critical moment.Then he personally led the Central Army Corps to cross the Weishui River to the north, and joined the Right Army Corps that had been stationed in Weibei earlier, preparing to march.
