Hu Fen led his army all the way and soon arrived at Puzi County, the garrison of the Xiongnu in the south.

The commander of the southern Xiongnu is Liu Jia, the southern Xiongnu is a weak one among the five Xiongnu, the left Xiongnu strongly annexed the right Xiongnu, which undoubtedly makes Liu Jia frightened, the southern Xiongnu and the left and right Xiongnu are adjacent, Liu Jia is very worried that he will become Liu Bao's next target, so he did his best to be in the clan, day and night, until Hu Fen rushed to Puzi County, Liu Jia was slightly relieved.

"See Master Hu." Liu Jia pressed his hand to his chest and bowed down to greet Hu Fen with the etiquette of the Huns.

Hu Fen arched his hand very casually, as a return gift, Liu Jia welcomed Hu Fen into the tent, the two sides sat down, Hu Fennai asked: "What happened to make Liu Bao's left annex Liu Kang's right?" ”

Liu Jia said: "Back to my lord, there are frequent conflicts between the left and the right, but the scale is not large, but this time Liu Bao's son Liu Yuan returned to the Zi family, under his instigation, Liu Bao sent troops to destroy Liu Kang in one fell swoop, this Liu Yuan is ambitious, adults must not be guarded against?" ”

"Liu Yuan?" Hu Fen was slightly stunned, Liu Yuan is the party too shou, according to the administrative subordination is his subordinate, at the beginning of Liu Yuan's appointment to the party too shou, Hu Fen still has some slight words, other too shou can be promoted level by level, many officials throughout their lives, can not cross the threshold of 2,000 stones, Liu Yuan's too shou position is too easy, not to mention that he is a Hu man, which makes Hu Fen and other state officials very uncomfortable. But Liu Yuan's official position was hand-picked by Sima Yan, and of course Hu Fen couldn't oppose it, so he could only secretly slander it in his heart.

Hu Fen didn't expect that it was Liu Yuan who provoked the trouble this time, so he couldn't help but snort heavily, and said: "Huangkou Ruzi, the milk smell has not dried up, and he dares to have this incident, under the rule of the Governor, this kind of thing will never be allowed to happen, whether it is Liu Bao or Liu Yuan, if he openly disobeys the order, the Governor will be severely punished!" ”

Liu Jia said flatteringly: "Between the five departments, there was originally nothing to do with each other, but this time Liu Yuan bullied the weak and openly annexed the right department, setting a bad precedent, but fortunately, there is Lord Hu here, Liu Yuan and his son want to unify the five departments, which is completely wishful thinking." ”

"Unify the five departments?" Hu Fen chuckled, this Liu Yuan's ambition is not small, but it is completely whimsical to unify the five tribes, Cao Cao deliberately split the Southern Xiongnu into five independent tribes in order to divide the power of the Xiongnu, for decades, this pattern has never changed, Liu Yuan wants to change the status quo with his own strength, not to mention that several other Xiongnu tribes do not agree, he will not want to pass this level. You must know that Hu Fen represents the court of the Jin Kingdom, and Liu Yuan wants to fight against the entire Great Jin Dynasty, which is simply a mayfly shaking a tree, and he can't do anything about it.

"The rule of the five parts has been a long time, that is the established plan of the imperial court, and it is not allowed to be shaken, this governor is here this time, it is ordered to mediate, the governor has already sent a note to Liu Bao a few days ago, asking him to withdraw from the army and truce, if Liu Bao and his son keep their duty and return to Fenxi, it will be returned, if not, it will make them suffer greatly."

Liu Jia complimented: "Lord Hu is the backbone of our state, with Lord Hu here, we can rest assured." ”

After all, the strength of the left Huns made Liu Jia very afraid, this time the right was destroyed, and the situation in the south was also dangerous, Liu Jia was very afraid that the left Huns would win and go south, and at this moment he could hug Hu Fen's thick legs, Liu Jia was naturally a lot more relieved.

Hu Fen said proudly: "Since the governor took charge of the state, this is the first time that someone dares to challenge the authority of the governor, if you don't give them some color this time, I think that the governor is so easy to bully, this time we must punish Liu Bao's father and son severely, let them know what is the sky and the earth!" ”

While the two were talking, the Chinese army outside the door came in and handed over a letter, saying: "Governor Qiyu, Liu Bao, the commander of the left department, has a letter delivered." ”

Hu Fen smiled, it seems that his tough-tongued document worked the previous time, and as soon as he arrived in Puzi County this time, the letter replied by Liu Bao was delivered, at least this attitude is good.

Liu Bao insisted in the letter that it was not their left that provoked the incident, but Liu Kang's right, they were just forced to fight back, but they failed to collect it for a while, and they would hit Qi County, but the left had no intention of annexing the right department, and was ready to withdraw the troops in the near future, and handed over the affairs of the right department to Liu Kang's son Liu Qi, and the left troops would all retreat to the west bank of Fenshui.

Hu Fen laughed and said: "As expected, Liu Bao also put on a show, as soon as my Dajin people arrived, they were immediately scared of their farts and urine, and they took the initiative to soften, or so, and they also saved the pain of carrying knives and soldiers." Liu Jia, what Liu Bao said wants to wait for the governor in Jiexiu, so you can go with the governor. ”

Liu Jia said happily: "Humble duty." "It is also beneficial to follow Hu Fen to Jiexiu, the best thing to deter Liu Bao's father and son, so that they will no longer dare to have the ambition of annexing the southern Xiongnu.

At that moment, Hu Fen counted the troops and horses, and hoped to rest and advance.

At that time, I heard that there was a big incident on the side of Bingzhou, Hu Fen was ordered to discuss, and naturally did not dare to slack off, not only Xiaoxing stayed overnight for a long distance, but also made full preparations for war, thinking that perhaps only by fighting a battle, it was possible to solve the problem of the left part of the Xiongnu.

However, Liu Bao's letter obviously made Hu Fen breathe a sigh of relief, but it is normal to think about it, with the strength of the left of the Xiongnu, he wants to compete with the governor of the state with the army in hand, wouldn't it be an egg hitting a stone, not to mention, standing behind Hu Fen, but the court of the Great Jin, if the left of the Xiongnu chooses to go to war with Hu Fen, it will be completely provoking the authority of Sima Yan, the monarch of the Jin State.

Those who know the times are Junjie, Liu Bao's submission was not unexpected by Hu Fen at all, he has ruled and merged the state for many years, and the temperament of these Hun commanders is not bad, Liu Bao typically belongs to the type that listens hard and does not listen to soft, a little intimidation, Liu Bao flinched.

Hu Fen's vigilance was unconsciously weakened a lot, and the army went all the way north, in addition to the 10,000 horses he brought, there were also 3,000 Hun soldiers led by Liu Jia, and the momentum was also quite strong, and soon they came to Jiexiu Mianshan. (To be continued.) )
