Yizhou received news from Hanoi County.

Yizhou was already in the middle of the attacks between Youbing and the two states, and was originally in panic, but the Khanate began to establish an official system, turning from killing to appeasement, which made many people want to wait and see.

But the news coming back now scares these people.

The cruelty of the Hu people was far beyond their imagination. In order to attack the city, they drove the people to fight and consumed the morale and supplies of the defenders.

If this matter is a war that is overwhelming and has no choice, for example, when the Qing Dynasty was similar to the Earth, it had occupied most of China, and looked around and had no successful resistance, it would be similar to the seven-day massacre in Yangzhou and the act of driving away the people, and would gain deterrence and become the last heavy blow to defeat the Han people's resistance.

But when there is a strong resistance, such massacre will only lead to centrifugation.

People's hearts and luck are so clear and simple. Massacre may not fail to gain the general trend, and kindness may not necessarily allow you to calm down. There is a question of choice here.

Having a choice, cruelty will only lead to falling apart.

Without choice, cruelty will only shape the solid imperial power and form a vast trend.

But now, the Dacheng Dynasty has risen in the south and occupied most of the Central Plains. Such massacres have caused people to be particularly frightened and hated.

These Hu people are alien races, and now their behaviors are even more uneasy.

As soon as the news spread, they were ready to run away, but they did not get the correct message for a while and they were reluctant to leave.

The foundation of ordinary people's generations is in their houses and fields. If they leave like this, they will be poor and have no source of support for their families.

The various rumors in Yizhou City continue to increase the terrifying description of the Hu people.

And in Qingzhou, the same signs gradually arose.

"The Hu people are unrighteous, Qingzhou is terrifying!"

Qingzhou has six counties: Pingyuan County, Jinan County, Le'an County, Linqi County, Beihai County and Donglai County, three of which have been unified by He Zhi.

At this time, in the Grand Marshal's Mansion in Pingyuan County, He Zhi walked, wearing only a stone-blue robe, thinking in his heart.

The servants and guards along the road salute, and this is the backyard, with brilliant gardens and lush grass and trees.

He Zhi was originally the son of the prefect of Pingyuan County. When he was young, he was a famous and talented man nearby. However, in the blink of an eye, He Zhi, who occupied three counties for more than ten years, had long since lost his elegance.

As time goes by, his reputation is no longer worth mentioning to him.

Talent and demeanor are ultimately embellishments. The former young man became a prince in the middle age.

As news of the war between Baima Port and the Hu people in Hanoi County came, the prince's face became even more gloomy.

He Zhi knew very well how much trouble it would cause to Qingzhou if this rumor spreads within the country.

It is easy to control people's words but hard to control people's hearts.

If you are inferior to others, it is difficult to bring a sense of stability to the people under your rule.

Thinking of these things, He Zhi has been anxious over the past two days, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, but when this rumors began to appear in the country, he calmed down.

"These things need to be investigated again..." He Zhi narrowed his eyes, sighed in his heart, turned around and said to a civil servant who was following him.

Before thinking about countermeasures, you should first find out the truth or falsehood of the matter.

"Please rest assured, whenever there is a definite news, the official will report it to the general in time." The official who followed him, seeing that the general's expression was slightly relieved, did not dare to hesitate, so he quickly responded.

He Zhi nodded, waved his hand to let the other party retreat, stepped onto the steps and returned to the study.

When the civil servant walked out in a hurry, he happened to face the commander of the personal guards who came in. Seeing the civil servant's busy leaving, He Changxing couldn't help but feel a quarrel.

"Changxing, are you here?" He Zhi had already heard the voice at the door and said.

"Master, this is the information I just sent back from the front." He Changxing walked in and said after closing the door.

"You read it." He Zhiwei closed his eyes and leaned on the back of the chair and said.

He Changxing responded to the promise and read the contents of the document.

But it was good news. After reading it, He Changxing smiled: "Master, this is good news! Our army has captured two county towns in succession. It only takes half a year to capture another county!"

"Two more county towns were taken away?" He Zhi looked up at his nephew in front of him.

He Zhi’s biggest regret is that he has no children. He is 40 years old and has only two daughters. The eldest daughter is already married. The second daughter is only 14 years old this year and has not yet married. This nephew is actually the target of training. At the age of 17, he has given him his personal military power and many things will not be concealed.

He heard his nephew speak and nodded: "This is indeed good news. Let them turn back and report all the list of meritorious people. I will remember them with one merit."

That being said, He Zhi's face was depressed and he was in a bad mood.

He Changxing put the document above the desk and couldn't help asking: "Why is the Grand Marshal depressed?"

He Zhi sighed slightly: "It's useless to conquer the city and territories now. Please order the army to retreat and repair it. There is no need to send troops."

He Changxing was shocked and persuaded: "Why did the Grand Marshal have this idea? Now the Grand Marshal has three counties, and it takes less than two years to go. Qingzhou is afraid that it will belong to the Grand Marshal. Why did the Grand Marshal quit?"

He Zhi heard this and smiled bitterly: "That's how do you think?"

"Uncle, I have this idea. Please give me some advice." He Changxing said.

He Zhi tapped the desk with his finger, his expression complicated: "You are young and don't understand. Indeed, if you give me another two years, you will definitely be able to unify Qingzhou, but no one will give us this opportunity, whether it is Hu or Dacheng."

He Changxing's face looked a little ugly: "Uncle, the Hu people and the Emperor Chengguo confronted each other and might have a chance."

"Whether it is the Hu people or Chengguo, the foundation has been established. The Hu people not only have the two states of Youbing, but also the grasslands. Chengguo now has seven states. Even if it fails for a while, it will not allow us to survive and develop."

"I only have three counties now. If I surrender to one side, I will be an important official and will not be suspicious. If I unified the whole province, even if I surrender, I will be afraid that the disaster will not be far away and I will not be able to end well, so the cession is the best."

Seeing that He Changxing looked solemn and a little unwilling, He Zhi smiled and said, "Forget it, you don't care about this."

He Changxing didn't mention this matter, and when he saw this, he didn't dare to ask too much and stepped out.

But the matter was not over. On the third day, He Changxing had just walked outside the door and heard a clamor inside.

At this moment, He Changxing and his personal soldiers on duty were both shocked.

He Changxing quickly walked a few steps and knocked on the door: "Master? What happened?"

"...I'm fine." A moment later, He Zhi's voice came from inside.

He Changxing breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the voice of the Great Marshal. However, it seems that the Great Marshal's mood is not very good at this time!

The people outside looked at each other, and since He Zhi didn't call in, he didn't dare to go in rashly at this time.

He Changxing was clever and took a maid's plate and said respectfully: "Master, I'll bring you the soup you want."

"Come in." With this sound, He Changxing walked in from outside with the small cup he had just sent, and his eyes swept through it.

At this time, there were some scattered documents on the ground, and He Zhi sat behind the desk and looked at him expressionlessly.

"Uncle, you are angry again. It's important to take care of yourself."

"Changxing, alas, although there were predictions and rumors, after the specific investigation, the Hu people were really cruel!" He Zhi did not hide it from him. When he saw him asking, he pointed to the documents on the ground and said.

He Changxing walked over, picked up the documents on the ground, put several documents on the desk, and swept the one in his hand from top to bottom.

After watching it, He Changxing frowned deeply.

"I really couldn't imagine that the rumors were true!" He Changxing murmured and said angrily.

"Hmph, this year the Khanate established an official system and issued an order to prohibit the Hu people from killing the people at will. He also invited the noble families of Youbian and the two states to issue officials. He thought there were indeed some great ways, and I had also moved me a little." He Zhi sneered: "Now it seems that this is just a temporary solution. Whenever there is something wrong, he will tear his face. These Hu people are afraid that they will regard this Middle Land as their pasture and the people as their cattle and sheep they raise!"

As he said that, He Zhi smiled tiredly: "Changxing, you go out and invite Xu Junshi for me."

"...Hey!" Seeing the general's expression was solemn, He Changxing did not dare to delay, so he responded and rushed out.

He Changxing walked out and closed the door again. He Zhi turned his eyes to the information coming again. His cheeks, which were dyed with frosty moon, could still vaguely see a hint of elegant and romantic appearance when he was young.

He Zhi read books of sages since he was a child. Although he later inherited his father's foundation, he still had a trace of the stubbornness of a scholar.

This world has broken the difference between the Han and the Yi people of some scholars.

Although there is still a difference between Hu and Han, as long as Hu people follow the "road to cultivate the world's livelihood and people's livelihood" in the minds of these scholars, they can be recognized.

His first reaction to the Hu people's atrocities was anger, and his second reaction was a pity.

In He Zhi's view, it was right for the Hu people to establish an official system. It prohibited the Hu people from killing the people at will, and invited the two aristocratic families in You and the two states to issue officials. This is even more of the king's way.

However, after a slight setback, the ban was immediately tore up and drove the people to attack the city. No matter what the reason was, it showed that the Hu people could not condense the fortune of the Han people and directly threatened the interests of many people.

You should know that among the expelling people, there are actually many aristocratic families from counties and counties among them.

If the Hu people could disrupt Wang Hongyi's strategy of Gunzhou and Luoyang, I am afraid that the next target of Khan would be Qing and Yi Erzhou?

Given the current situation of the Hu people, can the people of Qingzhou and their families still have one?

In times of troubled times, human life is humble, and it is not that I don’t understand this truth, but it has violated the path, justice, and interests in his mind.
