It is like a lonely island in a vast ocean of foreign lands.
......
at the same time.
Taiyuan Commandery, Bingzhou, Jinyang City!
The newly appointed governor, Zhang Yi, frowned as he paced back and forth in the governor's mansion.
Recently, urgent reports have been sent back from Pianguan, Yanmenguan, Loufanguan, and even from the direction of Daijun, indicating that large numbers of Xiongnu troops have been moving outside the pass.
Zhang Yi was extremely nervous.
He knew that Bingzhou was currently severely understaffed, and that the Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Wuhuan tribes outside the pass, as well as the Qiang and Hu tribes in Xihe and Shangjun, were also stirring up trouble.
Once these foreign tribes rise up and raid Bingzhou, he will be stretched thin and have no extra troops to stop them.

As long as the Xiongnu people don't cause trouble, he can safely plunder the people's wealth.
However, judging from the current situation, the outlook is not optimistic.
With so many Xiongnu troops gathered, they probably had no other intentions other than heading south to Bingzhou.
Zhang Yi was like an ant on a hot pan, only able to anxiously wait!
"My lord, the Right Grand Commandant under the Southern Xiongnu Chanyu Qiangqu has come to visit with important business!"
Just then, a gatekeeper came running to report.
Good heavens!
This was like a pillow being delivered to someone who was just looking for a pillow; Zhang Yi was worried because he didn't know what the Xiongnu were up to.
Now, however, the envoys of the Xiongnu have come to our doorstep on their own initiative!
"Let them in quickly!"
