Qin Wangfu became lively again, and Queen Himiko had to agree to Huayu's genocide conditions. The dilemma between Yanzhou and Jiangdong continued, and it seemed that everything was moving in a direction that was beneficial to Huayu.

However, when Hua Yu was immersed in the joy of tenderness, something happened in Yizhou.

Meng Zhen, the barbarian king of Nanzhong, rebelled.

Of course, this has to be attributed to Zhuge Liang's credit.

There are nine counties in Yizhou, and five counties in the north, namely Guanghan County, Shu County, Hanzhong County, Ba County and Qianwei County.

The four counties in the south are Yongchang County, Yizhou County, Cang County and Yuexi County.

Among them, the four southern counties are basically places where ethnic minorities gather.

Originally, when Liu Yan ruled Yizhou, his ability to control the four southern counties was very weak.

Similar to the situation in the northern grasslands, the living conditions in Yinan area are not good, and there are often situations where there is not enough food.

The Yibei area is a land of abundance. Therefore, under the leadership of Meng Zhen, the leader of the barbarians in the Yinan area, barbarians often went north to violate the border.

This Meng Zhen was the father of Meng Huo in history.

Meng Zhen is extremely brave, he has the courage of all men, and he is quite strategic.

Therefore, the Yinan area has become a serious problem for Liu Yan.

Every time after dealing with the barbarians going north to violate the border, Liu Yan did not think of sending troops to the south to completely subdue these barbarians.

However, the environment in the Yinan region was too harsh, with miasma, poisonous water, wild beasts, giant pythons, some swampy areas, and the moody rainforest climate, which caused the Yizhou army to suffer heavy losses three times and return home in defeat.

Later, Liu Yan used the method of appeasement to the Yinan area.

Liu Yan recognized Meng Zhen as his adopted son, and would send a large amount of daily necessities such as grain, grass, cloth, lamp oil, etc. to Yinan twice a year.

As for Meng Zhen, he returned some handicrafts and so on to Liu Yan as a gift.

In this way, the relationship between the two parties will be very harmonious, and within a few years there will be no more wars and peaceful development.

Later, Liu Yan died and Liu Zhang ascended the throne, also following Liu Yan's strategy.

However, not long after Liu Zhang became the shepherd of Yizhou, he was forced to step down by Hua Yu.

Hua Yu would not be indifferent to the barbarians in the Yinan area, so he immediately ordered Fazheng to cut off the supply of food, cloth and lamp oil to the barbarians.

The regime change in Yizhou, Meng Zhen didn't take it seriously at the beginning, thinking that the Xinzhou Mu in Yizhou would inevitably maintain the same relationship as before, and maintain a good relationship between the two parties.

Who would have thought that when it was time for Yizhou to send grain, grass, cloth and lamp oil to the Yinan area, it did not arrive as promised.

Meng Zhen immediately sent someone to Mianzhu to question the matter.

In the end, because the envoy Meng Zhen was too arrogant, Fazheng beat him thirty sticks and drove him back.

Meng Zhen was furious, but he was not as impulsive as his second son Meng Huo later. Instead of raising troops immediately, he sent a large number of spies to investigate the situation in Yizhou.

Soon after, Hua Yu readjusted the military situation in various places, and assigned Yizhou to the Jiangnan Military and Political Department, and the governor was Xu Shu.

When Fazheng was handing over the affairs of Yizhou, he especially told Xu Shu about the risks in the Yinan area, so that Xu Shu could prepare early.

Of course Xu Shu would not take Fazheng's words as a deaf ear, and while sending people to investigate the movement in Yinan area, he deployed defenses at the border.

The situation in Jiangdong has been blocked. As long as Liu Bei does not break through, there will be no war.

Jingzhou has the support of the Cai family, and the Kuai family has completely surrendered, so there will be no chaos.

Therefore, Xu Shu focused his attention on Yizhou and the Yinan area, and sent a lot of detailed work.

Moreover, Xu Shu also bought a lot of local people, making them become Xu Shu's secret work in Yinan area, and it is not easy for Meng Zhen to find out.

Zhuge Liang sent envoys to the Jinan area to instigate Meng Zhen's rebellion. Xu Shu got the news immediately, earlier than Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang who were far away in Jiangdong.

After Xu Shu got the news, he didn't dare to neglect, and immediately sent flying cavalry to Luoyang to inform Hua Yu.

Meng Zhen wants to rebel?

Zhuge Liang instigated rebellion?

Hua Yu sneered and understood immediately.

Zhuge Liang was trapped in Jiangdong, if he didn't take any action, he wouldn't be Zhuge Liang.

It seems that instigating the barbarians in the Yinan area is not Zhuge Liang's only means.

Hua Yu immediately turned his attention to the countries or forces around the big man.

The taxi family in Jiaozhou has ambitions, but they dare not act rashly at present.

If the rebellion in Yinan is successful, the scholars will rebel and attack Jingzhou.

In addition, there are also two large tribes in the southwest of Tibet, the Faqiang and Tangjing, but they are far away from Yizhou.

Bordering Yizhou, that is, there is a Yak Qiang in the west of Yizhou.

Further north of the Yak Qiang, there are the Dazang and other Qiang, Baima Qiang, Shaodang Qiang and other tribes.

To the west of Liangzhou are the 36 countries in the Western Regions and the mighty Wusun Empire.

To the north are powerful grassland tribes such as the Xiongnu and Xianbei.

Although Huayu subdued and wiped out the Yufulo tribe of the Southern Huns, the Budugenbu of the Western Xianbei, and the Wuhuan tribe who were closer to the Han in one fell swoop.

However, the remaining strength of the Xiongnu and Xianbei is still quite strong.

If it's just these grassland tribes themselves, I'm afraid they won't go south easily, after all, the big Han is basically unified.

At least, the place where they can touch the edge is Hua Yu's sphere of influence.

In the northeast, although Gongsundu of Liaodong has already surrendered, there are still three Han lands around Liaodong, such as Goguryeo, Puyu, Louyi and Woju.

Therefore, although it seems that Hua Yu is about to unify the big man, there are still many enemies around.

Not to mention, if Yizhou goes further west, there are some countries such as Panyue Kingdom.

Continuing to the west, there are powerful Kushan Empire, Parthian Empire and Roman Empire.

Hua Yu scanned the surroundings of the big man, and began to calculate in his heart.

Huang Zhong sits in Liangzhou, and the Shaodang Qiang tribes must not dare to act rashly, Liangzhou is fine.

The 36 countries in the Western Regions are all small countries, and they have frequent trade exchanges with the big Han, so they will never provoke a war.

The Wusun Empire is indeed powerful, and it has gotten rid of the control of the Huns in recent years.

However, there are 36 countries in the Western Regions between the Wusun Empire and the Han Dynasty.

Once the Wusun Empire is ready to send troops, the news will reach the big Han as soon as possible, and Hua Yu has enough time to dispatch troops.

As for the Huns and Xianbei in the north, because there are more cavalry, if they hit the side, the speed will be very fast.

But Hua Yu had been prepared for a long time. After taking down the three tribes, he started the huge grassland urbanization project.

Build cities one by one, push the cities northward step by step, and eat away at the grasslands.

The migrant workers are grassland people, and the building materials are continuously transported by the big man.

Up to now, the grassland urbanization project has advanced a full hundred miles to the north, which is equivalent to establishing a barrier between the Han Dynasty and the northern grassland ministries.
