In the general's manor, Yue Shan and Ran Qiang sat facing each other on opposite sides of a table. A map had already been laid out on the few cases.

Yue Shan politely tapped on the map, and said with a faint smile: "My lord, I just received news that the Fool Pu Hong has changed his surname to Dan Yu, and the Three Qin Kings have changed it to Qing. From this point on, it shows that Pu Hong has the ambition to conquer the Central Plains, and it will definitely be very disadvantageous for us."

Ran Qiang smiled and said, "The three master's words are extremely true, but I am sure that Pu Hong will die a violent death soon. "Not enough for a filter."

Ran Qiang and Yue Shan looked at each other in the eye before Ran Qiang hurriedly ordered Sikong Lang to come in.

Sikong Lang came in and bowed to Ran Qiang. "My lord, I have returned from Jiangnan."

Ran Qiang asked with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work. "Sit down, how's everything going?"

Sikong Lang bent his knees and sat down, then said: "Congratulations my lord, the Jin Court has already conferred the title of General Zhenbei, Duke Wei. He also sent a consultant doctor, Wang Qin, to declare the edict. His servant had placed him at the post house for a temporary rest. "Waiting for the lord's decision." Doctor Ying was a high-rank official in the Jin Dynasty. It was obvious that Jin Fang didn't hold much enthusiasm for the title of Minister when he was in the Jin Dynasty. Ran Qiang being in the center of the barbarians seemed to have little to do. However, in order to not lose the hearts of those who surrendered, he had symbolically sent a senior doctor with an imperial edict and golden seal to surrender.

Ran Qiang nodded his head, "Lengsi has worked hard and picked an auspicious day, we will receive the imperial edict." Right now, they couldn't accept the imperial edict immediately, and they definitely couldn't start a war in the north before entering Yanzhou.

The streets of Ye City were filled with shops and shops. Even though there had been many wars and the Hu people had all been killed, but they were still the capital of the capital. The population of the city reached almost four hundred thousand. Doctor Jin and his two servants strolled along the street. Wang Qin couldn't help but be secretly surprised. He had been on a mission to other places. Could it be that the streets were full of people? How come the entire city was filled with Chinese people? The Hu people were basically extinct. Although the Renjiang killed nearly 200,000 people in Karma, it was first with planning and organization, with soldiers surrounding and immediately burying them, which prevented the news of the Hu people being massacred from reaching Jiangnan. Even the surrounding Hu military officers thought that Ran Qiang had used the stronghold's method to imprison a large number of Hu men. Even when they heard the news of the Hu people being killed, most of them thought that it was a normal occurrence of war. Which one of them didn't kill and loot? This kind of militarized and organized pattern of killing each other was completely beyond their imagination. Compared to this, the massacres in the other wars and wars, although they had massacred a large number of people, were all acts of bandits.

Doctor Wang Qin was from the Great Clan of Jiangnan, the Wang clan. Currently, the Wang clan was no longer as powerful as they were in the past, so to him, this recruitment was also a good thing for him. The Imperial Court had already taken advantage of Ran Qiang's invitation to surrender and appointed Yin Hao as the Central Army General to take over as Yang Prefecture Assassin. They had planned to join forces with the military forces of the five prefectures, including Yu, Xu, Ke, and Qing Prefecture, to attack the north once more.

Dr. Guang Lu, Chimu, once said, "If your husband, Shuntian, was born in a difficult family, he must be a saint or a hero. As far as the present day is concerned, it is almost impossible not to be able to work on the schedule and succeed in the work of the common people; one has to be a little short in the way of talent, one can't be too careless, one's money and effort is exhausted, one's wits are exhausted, and one has no worries about the court. "These words mean: [Those who are able to cope with the times when the people are suffering, and those who are not the saints and heroes, have to measure their own abilities in doing these things. The present situation was not something that could be done by the current people; it could only be done step by step, tiring the people; in the end, because of their shortness of talent, they could not fulfil their wishes, weakening their wealth and strength, weakening their wisdom and courage, so how could they not affect the comfort of the imperial court?] His words pointed out the current situation of the East Jin Dynasty: When there were capable officials, there were no wise kings. When there were wise kings, there were no good ministers. It made sense to say that the imperial guards would be the first to leave the city. No one would be able to deal with an external force while there was internal strife.

Counseling Doctor Wang Qin asked a shopkeeper curiously, "Old sir, why haven't you seen any Hu people in your city?"

The shopkeeper was an old man. He glanced at the shopkeeper and saw that his clothes were colorful. He hurriedly replied, "Sir, are you from another place?"

Counseling Doctor Wang Qin nodded and didn't say anything else.

The shopkeeper smiled apologetically, "Then no wonder, the damned Hu men were captured by the great general Ran." Most of the people in Ye City and the surrounding areas only saw the Hu men being held in groups outside the city, because they had soldiers guarding them, so they did not know what would happen to them.

Counsellor Doctor Wang Qin asked curiously, "Why did you capture all of the Hu?"

The shopkeeper glanced at him in surprise, his expression not as respectful as before, and replied: "The Hu men treat us Chinese like pigs, General Ran was sent by the heavens to rescue us, of course we have to capture all the violent Hu men." In his mind, General Ran was sent by the heavens to rescue the suffering citizens of the Central Plains, so naturally, it was best to capture all the Hu men and kill them. As for the ugliness of politics, they did not understand.

At this time, a servant who was dressed like a servant approached Doctor Wang Qin, bowed and said, "This must be the court's Doctor Wang, right?" He waited for Wang Qin to nod, and then said more respectfully, "My master would like to invite you to a chat."

Wang Qin asked, "Who is your master?"

The servant whispered respectfully: "My lord is General Long Xiang of the Liaodong Tian Clan."

Wang Qin thought for a moment and nodded. The servant bowed and pointed, "Sir, please follow me."

[Central Plains Restaurant] was a recently opened tavern with not many customers. In a private room near the window, General Long Xiang Tian and the Long Water Commandant Ma Wei were kneeling on the soft seats on either side of the main seat. Counseling Doctor Wang Qin sat in the main seat, sizing up the owners on both sides without saying anything. Other than the servant who led the way just now, all the other servants were waiting outside.

After a round of pleasantries, the three of them felt that their relationship had grown closer by quite a bit.

General Long Xun Tian Xiang saluted and said, "Your excellency has been in the Imperial Court for a long time. You probably don't know much about the situation here, right?"

Counseling Doctor Wang Qin maintained his smile and nodded, "Please advise me."

Tian Xiang said with a heavy expression, "Does sire know why all the Hu people have disappeared?"
