Schemes of the Noble Households Chapter 66

After the Eight Kings Rebellion, Sima Rui crossed the Yangtze River and established the Eastern Jin Dynasty. In order to settle the northern gentry and absorb a large number of refugees, he successively established overseas prefectures, overseas counties, and overseas counties in the south.

Yanzhou, where the 50,000-strong army gathered, was adjacent to Youzhou and Qingzhou, and most of it was located in the territory of Jiangsu in later generations.

Although it was called a prefecture, it occupied an area smaller than a county during the Han Dynasty. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a larger county. Tens of thousands of troops arrived one after another. The city was noisy and there was no room for them. The latecomers could only be stationed outside the city.

Adrian Huan was a sixth-rank official, and as the magistrate of a county with a thousand households, he was not worthy of the attention of the governors of various states. However, his father was Huan Wen, his mother was Princess Nankang, and he was also supported by the governor Xi. Even though he had few private soldiers and was not very powerful, he could still be considered a "prince" and no one dared to underestimate him.

As the story of "boiling people alive" spread, Adrian Huan's notoriety became known to more and more people.
