?For a long time, the middle and lower-level officers and soldiers of Jin State did not understand one thing, that is, the Jin State had the strength to poke the Sili area into the two counties of Hedong and Henei north of the Yellow River, but Zhao Xing just kept silent and ignored the two counties next to Jin State.

In the eyes of many people, Hedong and Henei counties seem to be a thorn that the imperial court wedged into the abdomen of Jin State, which can make Jin State feel uncomfortable and painful at any time. Just like the accidental attack in Guyuan City some time ago, even the old ladies and children of Jin State could think that it must be done by people from Hedong.

In Zhao Xing's view, Hedong and Hanoi counties are dog chains tied around the neck of the court. As long as these two counties are not lost, many people in the court will still have fantasies and will continue to hang in Luoyang and give orders. In this way, the harm suffered by the people in the world will be greatly reduced.

It’s not that Zhao Xing didn’t want to attack Hedong and Hanoi counties, but the time was not yet ripe. It was like boiling a frog in warm water. If the two counties of Hedong and Hanoi were attacked from the beginning, there would be no barrier north of Luoyang. Under such severe stimulation, the court would either be forced to move the capital southward or fall apart due to internal and external troubles. Neither of these results would be what Zhao Xing wanted to see.

If the court moved the capital southward, the best choice would naturally be Xiangyang. Once Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and others guarded Emperor Liu Bian to Xiangyang, they could completely get rid of the constraints of some wealthy families in Luoyang City and the interfering in politics, so as to openly serve the emperor as orders to refusal, and use Jingzhou as the basis to appease Sun Jian of the Eastern Wu, annex Liu Yan of Yuzhou and Yuan Shu of Yangzhou, and eventually form an emerging group of forces, which creates huge obstacles to Zhao Xing's journey to the south.

If the court falls apart, the world will be in chaos and all the princes will rise up to become kings and dominate, which will eventually lead to years of wars, people will be displaced, and land will be idle, causing great pain to the nation and the country. Even if Zhao Xing completely completes the unification, what he has gotten in his hands will be a mess.

Maintaining a certain dignity of the central court of the Han Dynasty and allowing it to continue to survive in the Sili area has important political significance for realizing the established policy of Zhao Xing's civil and military battle and gradually eroding the Han Dynasty. It is precisely for this consideration that Zhao Xing has never completely broken up with the court, but maintains a subtle situation of fighting without breaking it.

However, everything is not absolute. For example, before Jin State was preparing to officially use troops in the northeast and northwest directions, it suddenly mobilized its army in the battlefield and crossed the Yellow River from Shangjun west of Hedong County, and suddenly appeared in the hinterland of Hedong. The target seemed to be directly aimed at the official salt pond near Anyi.

The 10,000 members of the Yansheng Cavalry Division broke into Hedong, and the general led by Yan Xi. This former Xianbei man who had embarked on the road to death with his father, experienced too many life changes in the first half of his life. It was not until he took the lead in changing the name "Tu Xi", which obviously had Xianbei characteristics, to Yan Xi, that his life was stable, without the ups and downs of the past.

As the only regular army of the Yansheng tribe who guarded the north of Jin State, although it had only 10,000 troops, the Yansheng Cavalry Division has strictly followed the equipment and organization of the Jin State cavalry since its establishment. Not only has the combat effectiveness greatly improved in previous battles, but its loyalty and discipline have also been significantly enhanced. Now it seems that it has the flavor of the Flying Tiger Army that integrates wildness and iron blood.

A wild army is fierce, and an iron-blooded army is disciplined. The integration of the two means bravery and tenaciousness.

As early as a few months ago, the Supreme Command issued a combat mission to Yan Xi to marches in a hidden marches. He was hiding at night and arrived at the Yellow River Ferry at the intersection of Shangjun and Hedong and Zuofengyi, and then crossed the Yellow River to the east and entered the Xiangyu area of ​​Hedong County. After creating the illusion of a large-scale invasion of the Jin army, he rushed to the official salt pond near Anyi County, captured all the labor and hard work there that specializes in drying salt, and safely took it back to the Xianyang Salt Field near Wuyuan.

The Dingyuan Army had four cavalry divisions, namely Huang Xuan, Yan Sheng, Yao Xing and Han Army, each with 10,000 people. The Yao Xing army was stationed in the Great Wall north of Yuyang City in Youzhou, mainly responsible for suppressing the remnants of foreign races nearby; the Han army division was stationed in Meiji, a newly built holy land of three tribes; and the 10,000 cavalry of Huangxuanshi, who was originally led by Hu Cheer, did not assume this task this time, but went north to replace the Yansheng Division in the mission of inspecting the northern desert.

Huang Xuan's army has made great achievements in fighting in the East and West. The entire army is composed of Huang Xuan tribe members who are absolutely loyal to Zhao Xing, and has established the position of the boss among the three nomadic peoples. If this army is appointed to perform this task, I believe it can be completed with quality and quantity, but Zhao Xing unexpectedly asked the Yan Sheng tribe to undertake this task of feinting and seducing the enemy, which was really beyond the expectations of many people.

This is an intriguing arrangement. Yan Xi knew that this time Zhao Xing specially arranged the two divisions to exchange each other, which not only exercises Yan Sheng’s intentions, but also tests Yan Sheng’s intentions.

Since the Xianbei people were even erased by Zhao Xing, many northern alien races have gradually been under the jurisdiction of Jin State and have gradually integrated into the new family of Yansheng. However, it is not ruled out that some people with fantasies still took the opportunity to lurk incognito and wait for an opportunity to find a chance to make a comeback.

The descendants of Xianbei who had greed and cruel blood in their bones once again broke into the territory of the Han people. Should they burn, kill, rob and plunder like before, or should they complete the task resolutely like a disciplined iron army? This is Zhao Xing's biggest test for Yan Sheng's army!

Of course, Zhao Xing's arrangement was a bit unauthorized. He used the people of Hedong County as the genius mice to experimental Yansheng Division. If the officers and soldiers of Yansheng Division could not control their hands and feet, and sprouted in solid state in Hedong, exposing their original bad habits, then he would directly announce to the outside world that the troops rebelled and separated from Jin State because of the instigation of Zhang Fei from Hedong, and then completely drove Yansheng Division to the eighteenth floor of hell, so that they would never turn over.

Fortunately, Yan Xi and his ten thousand Yan Sheng cavalrymen really stood the test.

After they successfully forced Caisangjin, they always remained sober and kept in mind the precepts issued by the Jin Dynasty's Ministry and their identity as a Jin Dynasty's people. They changed their bad habits formed by alcoholism, bloodthirsty, money-loving, lustful, cruelty and other bad habits formed in their ancestors.

They were not guilty of the villages they passed along the way, and were very polite to the Han people who were panicked and powerless to resist. They went toward their established mission goals without hesitation...

When ten thousand light cavalry armed to the teeth came to the edge of the Yanchi Lake, the miscellaneous soldiers guarding the Yanchi Lake in Anyi were intuition that the heavenly soldiers descended to earth. They did not have any desire to resist at all, so they obediently cooperated with Yan Xi to drive away all the laborers and coolies near the Yanchi Lake who were specializing in salt drying tasks.

Yan Xi said to these miserable grassroots: "If you want to survive, follow me in the future! A female salt-cooking worker in Xianyang Snowflake Salt Factory earns three taels of silver per month. If you go there, you can get four taels of ounces of one month. It is responsible for food, accommodation and resettlement of elderly and children!"

The salt workers who had been tortured by high-intensity salt-drying labor, heard Yan Xi's words and a strong survival erupted in their eyes. They came to Yan Xi without saying a word and knelt down and refused to get up.

Yan Xi was very satisfied with this effect, and then said loudly: "Since everyone is willing to follow me, then everyone now only needs to do one thing to prove their determination! Dump all the fresh salt piled in the official warehouse and let them turn into brine!"

Under the gaze of ten thousand cavalry and salt officials, a man who was willing to go up and walked towards the salt warehouse. A stream of people gradually gathered behind him...~ Please come to "
