He Jin remained silent, lost in thought.
Why didn't He Chang, who was in Bingzhou, report such a big matter?
"I see many suspicious points here!"
Xun You said, "The report from the governor of Bingzhou may be one-sided. We need to find out the truth."
"Furthermore, although you are the Grand General, in charge of both court politics and military affairs, Zhang Yi bypassed the Ministry of Personnel and reported directly to you. Why is that..."
"Um!"
He Jin disagreed, arguing that any major events in the administrative affairs of prefectures and counties would certainly be reported to the Three Dukes of the Ministry of Personnel first.

Marquis Yinshan, wielding considerable military power, killed imperial envoys, seized supplies, and murdered the son of the Xiongnu Chanyu.
He not only disregarded the imperial court, but also sought to become an enemy of the Xiongnu.
Why did he do this?
Suddenly, Xun You felt a tremor in his heart.
Could it be that this prince really only wants to drive out the Xiongnu barbarians and subdue the four prefectures of Yunzhong?
