The Wei River continues to flow westward, and a very important tributary extends from Yong County, called the Lishui River. The Lishui originates from Longshan, and the area through which the water flows through is a Guanzhong old road that has been extremely important since ancient times to the present is Longdao, also known as Longsaka Road or Longguan Road. The name is basically the Longguan established in Longshan during the Han Dynasty.

This Long Road is an important passage connecting Guanzhong's Tianshui and Longxi counties. In the early years, Chen An, a powerful figure in Longshang, claimed to be the King of Liang because of his strong momentum. With the Jin army expedition to the west, the Sanfu shook, Liangzhou advanced eastward, and Longshang was in chaos, and this passage became noisy again.

There are many powerful Liangs in Long, either to avoid the force of the Zhang army in Liangzhou, or to rely on their bravery to rush into Guanzhong to get a share of the pie. Most of them have stepped on the Long Road and rushed eastward. The most powerful force among them is the Qiang man Yao Yizhong as the leader.

The Qiang people of the Yao clan were also very bumpy. During the Later Han Dynasty, they were able to surrender and live in Nan'an County, Longshang. When the Yongjia Rebellion broke out, Guanzhong was also greatly shocked. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yao Yizhong led his people from Longshang to Sanfu, and lived in Yumei, Fufeng County, which was the north bank of the Lishui River.

When the Later Han Dynasty Zhao Liu Yao ruled Guanzhong, he moved the Yao Yizhong tribe back to Longshang and placed it in Lueyang, where the Di people were powerful.

Yao Yizhong's luck is slightly better than another leader of the border Yi, Pu Hong, because although the Di people in Lueyang are powerful, these Di people are not completely united as a whole. In addition, there are also Jin people and many mixed Hu living together in Lueyang. The situation is much more complicated and there is no single xenophobia.

Therefore, after the Yao family settled in Lueyang, there was no embarrassment of Pu family being expelled by the three auxiliary Jin people. In addition, Yao Yizhong also had many opportunities, was wise and brave, and had a lot of prestige, and his power grew a lot.

The powerful men in Longshan entered the east to the Sanfu, which was not a short-term craze. For example, Liu Changming, the pseudo-Han king who is now known as the prosperous northern part, is a pioneer representative.

There were also people who followed the examples one after another, but it was not easy to migrate from a long distance. If you lack cohesion and have constant natural and man-made disasters during the journey, you will probably fall apart or be merged by Haoyou along the way. Even if you arrive by chance, you may not be accepted by the locals and will most likely become a bandit refugee scattered around.

Although Yao has not yet gained a foothold in Guanzhong, he has had the experience of operating Sanfu after all. Although he has been relocated to Longshang for many years, he is still concerned about the living environment where the Sanfu is much better than Longshang. However, Yao Yizhong himself has no lack of experience in moving far away and knows the dangers, so he suppressed it a little and continued to accumulate strength in Longshang to wait for a better opportunity.

Unlike other Hu Ke who blindly acted violently and relied on the strong, Yao Yizhong did not enjoy bullying the weak, but instead had a style of benevolence and righteousness. This style can be said to be a means of survival based on the chaotic times of Longshan, but it is indeed due to nature.

Among the many powerful people in Longshang who regard human life as grass, Yao Yizhong is very popular for his reputation of relief and sympathy. Most of them are Jin. Hu Shengmin relied on the verge of survival, and the tribal strength has increased soared.

As the Zhang family in Liangzhou became more and more fierce, and the living environment in Longshang became worse and worse, Yao Yizhong finally made up his mind to lead the tribe to the east again. In this movement, in addition to the tens of thousands of tribes in his headquarters, there were many large and small forces around him who also advanced together. In a moment, 100,000 or 200,000 people came to Guanzhong in Longshang.

Of course, these people cannot respect the Yao family's orders, but because of the powerful Yao family's power and the prestige of Yao Yizhong himself, the Yao family has become a benchmark in this wave of relocation.

Nowadays, there is no order in the Longdao, and there is basically no human obstruction. Moreover, the Yao tribe has sufficient material preparations, so the first half of the journey was quite smooth. Especially after passing Longguan, Yao Yizhong received a show of kindness from the powerful Du Hong of Jingzhao. The other party expressed his willingness to help the Yao family gain a foothold in Fufeng, and of course, they also need to echo each other and help each other in military terms.

Although he lived far away in Long and knew little about the detailed situation of Sanfu, Yao Yizhong was not ignorant of the major changes in the situation in Guanzhong. Especially when the Jin army in Zhongzhou came to the west, he had heard of Sanfu.

However, these things are too far away for Yao Yizhong. He is just a leader of the Bianhu with small strength and plans to move to the Sanfu. The most important task before him is to lead the tribe back to the Yinyang area where he lived and managed in his early years and be able to gain a successful foothold. Whether to join the so-called battle for hegemony in Guanzhong is not within his consideration yet.

However, Du Hong was the representative of the powerful people in Jingzhao. Since he was so diligent in showing goodwill, Yao Yizhong naturally had no reason to refuse. He also put forward several requirements such as seizing the western border of Jingzhao, Fufeng and other counties as tribal territories. Du Hong also expressed that he would provide some help.

Yao Yizhong naturally would not take Du Hong's promise seriously, but from this we can see a rough situation of the division of forces at the moment of Guanzhong, that is, there are basically no major forces in the western border of Jingzhao, otherwise Du Hong would not dare to make such a random promise.

This was naturally very good news for Yao Yizhong, so he began to integrate and gather his forces on the way, and accelerated his progress. He planned to sweep the territory of Youfufeng County with thunder, and make this blank area of ​​force the sphere of influence of his clan to recuperate.

As for the Jin army from Zhongzhou, it was not within Yao Yizhong's consideration. On the one hand, he lived far away in Long and had no definite concept of whether the Jin army was strong or not. On the other hand, there was a so-called ally Du Hong ahead of him who was resisting the pressure of the Jin army.

As for whether to surrender or resist the Jin army in the future, that is a question that needs to be considered in the future. At present, his main task is to turn the occupation of Fufeng County into an established fact.

After moving to Longshang for several years, although the Yao clan tribe was greatly expanded to tens of thousands, the number of soldiers who truly trained the war was only a few thousand. One was the only one with limited power in the clan, and the other was the number of tools such as bows and swords, armor and other equipment.

However, sweeping and separating Fufeng were a huge opportunity to determine the future of the entire tribe. Yao Yizhong naturally knew the significance of it, so he would not be retained. He could only fight in the tribe. Even some old but still had weak powers were recruited. Without bows and knives, he was given bamboo and wood weapons. In addition, he had sufficient cattle, horses and animals on this trip, so he even had seven thousand people.

In addition, Yao Yizhong also recruited strength from other tribes, and obtained more than 3,000 soldiers, more than 10,000 infantry and cavalry, with an army of 50,000, and headed towards the first destination, the Fengyang area.

The so-called 50,000 army has a real core force. More than 3,000 people can get bows and swords and good cavalry. Yao Yizhong gathered as the central army as the choice to defeat the strong, and was personally led by the other troops. As for the other troops, although the military armed and combat effectiveness were slightly inferior, it was far beyond ordinary bandits and bandits, and was more than enough to defeat those ordinary rural armed forces.

With such a powerful military force in his hand, it is enough for Yao Yizhong to sweep Fufeng County, which has no strong enemies in the territory. It can even be fought if it encounters a truly elite army.

The fact is just as Yao Yizhong expected. After his crowd crossed Longban and actually entered Guanzhong, they were in a state of power. Occasionally, bandits and strong men appeared in the territory, and they were not enemies with one blow, either defeated by the general situation or surrendered, which made their army more powerful.

In addition to destroying and annexing the wandering soldiers, Yao Yizhong was also gradually removing the walls of the village of the village along the way. His troops quickly explored the city of Weishui near the river, which was the habitat in Fufeng in his early years.

However, near the city of Wucheng, Yao's troops encountered resistance. Several vanguard troops of foreign exploration encountered setbacks one after another. The lucky ones and scattered soldiers fled back in a panic. If the luck is not good, the entire army will be destroyed.

After realizing this strange phenomenon, Yao Yizhong couldn't help but feel awesome and sent someone to inquire. Then he was shocked to learn that the enemy he encountered near the city of Wei was actually the Jin army that he originally thought he would not encounter at this stage!

The Jin army's military front has actually penetrated into the Sanfu and has even rushed to the Longdao!

This news really made Yao Yizhong feel very confused. In his opinion, this problem should have occupied the entire Fufeng territory before facing a choice. However, now his troops have just entered Fufeng and have not even entered the original destination Fengyang, and they just encountered it unexpectedly!

Yao Yizhong didn't know what the situation in Jingzhao was. Even if there was any news from Du Hong, Yao Yizhong would not dare to believe this unreliable ally too deeply.

He was naturally brave and capable of all parties. After tightening the military force, he continued to investigate the situation of the Jin army opposite, and generally understood the situation of the Jin army. It was a Jin army cavalry team with a population of three or four thousand people along the way, and it should be the vanguard of the Jin army. Because in the surrounding area, including some local people in Weiyang, most of them did not know that the Jin army had rushed into this territory.

After some trade-offs, Yao Yizhong took back the outside troops and set up a stance to advance along the Li River. At the same time, he sent envoys to contact the Jin army. Tens of thousands of surviving residents from Chenlongshan were fed eastward, and had no intention of interfering with the Jin army's strategy and attacking Guanzhong. He only hoped to return to the old land of Weiyang to recuperate. If he could be released, his tribe and the people who depended on him would all be willing to return to his righteousness and be ruled by the Jin people.

However, the words sent back by the commander of the Jin army on the opposite side were extremely arrogant: "The old town of the pre-Qin period, the homeland of China, has no inch of land to be the town of Eryi! The king's army is in seclusion and kills the thieves. You and other border soldiers quickly retreat outside Longguan, so you can temporarily protect the evil of no swords and weapons. Anyone who dares to see close to China's affairs will have to cross the road to Longguan!"

Yao Yizhong was humiliated so much, and he was imaginative. Although he was unwilling to be an enemy of the Jin army directly, the march could no longer be determined by him at this point. Especially after a long journey of several months, tens of thousands of people living behind him urgently needed a base for a little rest.
