"Wuzhou has a population of nearly 500,000, and Han people are more than 100,000, but it only accounts for a small number. The remaining Western countries and Dashi each account for half of them. As for the Han people, their separation from the Jin Dynasty has been more than 60 years. This is a separation of several generations! Most people don't even know Chinese characters. Except for a Han face, the rest of the rest have nothing in common with us."

Fan Zhongyun took a sip of tea and continued: "When it comes to politics, our Dajin is the supreme imperial power, while Dashi is different. It is a national empire. More than 90% of the people believe in Tianlan. The Pope of Tianlan has a status even better than that of the imperial emperors. The Dashi Empire has been turbulent in recent decades because after the death of the thirteenth emperor of the empire, its legal heir was not able to succeed the throne, but was transformed by the old emperor's illegitimate son.

The method of forcibly obtaining power has caused strong dissatisfaction among many church leaders of Tianlan. In addition, many great nobles rebounded, the two sides finally met. This fight lasted for more than 20 years, but now, this situation has changed. Five years ago, the Pope of Tianlan passed away, and the new Pope had a good personal relationship with the imperial emperor. The rebellious forces of the domestic church have returned to peace. The remaining rebellious forces formed by the great nobles have begun to be at a disadvantage in the battle with the central government of the empire."

Li Xun said in surprise: "You have only been here for a few days, so what do you know in detail?"

Fan Zhongyun smiled: "These things are not a secret in the Dashi Empire. They are well-known. I will just ask a few Dashi people and ask them, and I will know them clearly. It's not surprising."

"A church that has been extremely common and has been formed for a long time has a huge impact on the people. The worship and obsession of the church is also very fanatical. The leaders of the church generally have a great prestige and influence among the church. Some time ago, the civil unrest in Wuzhou may have a lot to do with Tianlan."

Li Xun nodded. Speaking of the Tianlan Sect in this world, Li Xun couldn't help but think of the *** Sect in that world. However, the two sides had some similarities in some aspects.

Fan Zhongyun looked at Li Xun in surprise. He came to Wuzhou for a few days and asked many people for advice. Only then did he understand some information. Li Xun should have never been in contact with Tianlan before, but he knew very well. He said the key points in it in one sentence, which made Fan Zhongyun surprised.

Fan Zhongyun did not ask much: "I said so much before, just to tell you that the situation in Wuzhou is very special. The governance method should change customs and be equivalent to the actual situation."

"Is this civil unrest related to Wu Heng, the governor of Wuzhou?"

Li Xun heard some implications from Fan Zhongyun's words.

"You boy is getting smarter."

Fan Zhongyun glanced at Li Xun with appreciation, and then said in a heavy tone: "It has something to do with it, and it has a lot to do with it. The reason is very simple. Wu Heng, the governor of Wuzhou, obviously favored the Han people in handling litigation cases, and plundered the finances of Dashi and the people of the Western Regions. I have already inquired with Yuanhe that the civil unrest broke out in Wuzhou was because after Wu Heng took office, he forced tens of thousands of people to repair the city walls, and afterwards, he had no meals allowed, many people died. Later, Wu Heng ordered people to demolish Tianlan Temple, which caused the anger of the Tianlan religion, and eventually broke out in civil unrest."

After hearing Fan Zhongyun's words, Li Xun was speechless for a moment, leaned back, leaned against the back of the chair, and his brows frowned slightly.

If it is really as Fan Zhongyun said, the situation in Wuzhou is indeed very responsible. In the eyes of Li Xun and others, whether it is the Dashi people or the Western Regions people, they are all foreign tribes. But from another perspective, in their eyes, isn’t the same with the Dajin?

The barriers and disputes between ethnic groups are difficult to resolve by external forces or even force. There are hundreds of thousands of foreigners in Wuzhou, so you can't kill them all, right?

Li Xun rubbed his brows and said, "I don't understand why Longyou was re-occupied by my Great Jin. Why didn't they return to their country?"

"It's harder to live back than here."

Li Xun was stunned for a moment, sat up straight, and said in confusion: "What does this mean?"

Fan Zhongyun said indifferently: "There are also factions in Tianlan, there are three, Dipu, and Concentrate, Xianglan. The contemporary Tianlan Pope is a Dipu sect. This faction belongs to a minority in Tianlan. Now that it is in power, it is naturally necessary to eliminate dissidents and weaken the power of the other two factions. In the area outside the Dashi Empire, the identities of the other two factions are not much higher than those of slaves. Five years ago, the population of Wuzhou was less than 200,000."

Li Xun said: "What do you mean is that in just five years, people and pope fled from the Western Regions to Wuzhou, and there were as many as hundreds of thousands of people and popes who were persecuted?"

Fan Zhongyun nodded: "That's right."

Li Xun said in confusion: "What's special about Wuzhou?"

Fan Zhongyun said: "The highest local commander of the Dashi Empire is called the Governor, who is almost the same as the governor of our Great Jin Dynasty. Before Wuzhou was recovered, its governor was the Xianglan faction, and he held military power in his hands. The church members outside the Dipu faction fled to his territory and could be protected."

I see.

Li Xun glanced at Fan Zhongyun and said strangely: "Old Fan, you know a lot. You can find so much information by just asking a few people, right? Isn't this possible?"

Fan Zhongyun smiled: "Although I have been here for a few days, I have unexpectedly met a friend. He told me many things. If I have time, I will take you to meet you. This person has a lot of knowledge."

Li Xun nodded: "It seems that people who can tell you that knowledgeable are really knowledgeable."

While the two of them were talking and discussing things, two hours passed quickly.

"Boss, it's already dusk. Yuanhe sent someone to ask, are you going to the camp tonight for a banquet?"

A knock on the door sounded, and Jiang Daxiong said outside the door.

Li Xun stood up and chuckled, "Time flies so fast."

Fan Zhongyun smiled and said, "We'll talk when you come back."

Li Xun said strangely: "Don't you go with me?"

Fan Zhongyun said indifferently: "It's boring to go. There are some situations that you will understand when you go to the camp."

Li Xun nodded, turned around and left without asking any more questions.

After arriving at the camp, Li Xun finally understood the meaning of Fan Zhongyun's last sentence.

At the beginning, there were nearly 40,000 soldiers in Wuzhou, and more than 15,000 were transferred by Zhao Zhi to Hedong. Now there are more than 23,000 left, led by four generals. Yuanhe had 5,000 troops, and they were Huang Xiang's old troops. He was brought out from Jingping Pass and went through the Battle of Jiangnan and Longyou. He was an elite army.

In addition to Yuanhe, the other three generals were named Wang Chengxi, You Chong and Gan Tuyuan. Among them, Wang Chengxi had the largest army, with 10,000 people, and You Chong and Gan Tuyuan each had 4,000 people.
