Schemes of the Noble Households Chapter 31

In June of the third year of Taihe, envoys of the Di people and Murong Xianbei arrived in Luozhou one after another and entered the jurisdiction of Qin's fortress.

Before this, Fu Jian had sent troops twice, but the Murong Xianbei were unwilling to be outdone, and several battles followed, with both sides winning and losing.

The defeated soldiers fled and wreaked havoc, while the victors allowed their troops to plunder. The Han people suffered, and some Hu tribes were not spared. For example, in places like Yumei and Shangqiu, the counties near the battlefield were uninhabited within hundreds of miles, and abandoned forts and villages were everywhere.

Under the scorching sun, the scattered corpses of civilians and the bones of cattle and sheep gradually dried up, and desolate scenes could be seen everywhere.

Natural disasters and disasters struck together, and the counties controlled by the Qin family became places where people fled.
