Chapter 623: Never a Peaceful Day
"I can't stay in Youzhou for too long. The matter here must be settled as soon as possible." After returning to Jicheng, Shao Xun found the former Junfu officials and said: " Who can come over to Daijun to relieve my worries?"
Zaosong, Zhu Shuo, You Tong, and You Min understood immediately that Duke Chen did not want to go to war with Tuoba Xianbei, at least for now. In no mood.
In fact, if you think about it, you can understand it. There are only more than 800,000 dendrobium grains. What should we do? Are you having a hard time this year?
"Ming Gong, I would like to accompany you." Lu Shen said.
Shao Xun pondered for a while and nodded.
Lu Shen is more suitable than anyone else.
His father Lu Zhi and Liu Kun are brothers-in-law, and Liu Kun has a good relationship with Tuoba Yi Lu. It’s up to Lu Shen to take action. Whether it will succeed or not, at least the personal safety factor will be greatly increased.
"Zi Li, tell Tuoba clan that in the past, Liu Yueshi was generous and granted Daijun to Yilu as a feudal state, but the imperial court did not agree. In addition, Yanmen is the imperial court It is unreasonable for Liu Yueshi to cede Zhengjun privately. "Shao Xun said: "What's the point of spying on Changshan now? If you want to take away the counties that the soldiers of the Jin Dynasty fought hard for, you have to exchange them with blood."< br>
Lu Shen understood and accepted.
This is fraud!
Chen Gong didn’t want to fight, but he put on a tough look and pointed out clearly that if you dare to extend your claws to Jizhou, I will chop you into pieces. Do you dare to try?
The competition is heartbeat. Whoever blinks first loses.
Shao Xun was a little emotional.
When he made the Northern Expedition plan at the beginning of this year, he did not think about taking Youzhou because he was worried that it would cause new trouble.
Everything in the world has advantages and disadvantages. It is impossible for you to only enjoy the advantages without disadvantages.
Why should you take Youzhou without any causal influence? Are you God's biological son?
But the prospect described by Lu Zhi was too good. He could obtain the land of five counties without spending a single soldier. After careful calculation, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages, so he finally made up his mind to capture it.
If he takes over Youzhou, he will also take over all the troubles in Youzhou. You still need to be mentally prepared for this.
Tuoba Xianbei has been involved in Youzhou affairs for a long time. Duan Bu and Murong Xianbei are also entrenched in Youzhou, and their forces are complicated. This is troublesome.
The trouble needs to be solved step by step. Meeting Tuoba Xianbei now will only make the Huns smile crookedly.
But then again, if Tuoba wants to fight, just fight. Without this gesture, it is impossible to achieve peace.
Liu Han, the governor of Youzhou, and Yang Dan, the internal historian of Gaoyang who was about to take office, were also present. When they saw Shao Xun being so fierce, they had a new understanding of his style.
"Let's discuss the matter of Duan Xianbei." Shao Xun said again: "Yesterday, Murong Xianbei arrived and agreed to attack the Duan family. What do you think?"
"Ming Gong "Murong Xianbei was ambitious and wanted to eliminate his old enemy in one fell swoop." You Tong had been an official in Youzhou for many years and was very aware of the troubles between Yuwen, Murong and Duan.
"Murong's plan was definitely not a sudden one, maybe he had been planning for a long time." Zhu Shuo sighed: "The western part of Liaoning is Zhengjun. It was first controlled by Duan Bu, and then fell into the hands of Murong. Now he has extended his hand to Beiping. His ambition is It’s unstoppable.”
“Who doesn’t have any ambition?” Zao Song said with a bitter smile: “Youzhou is still too weak to be coveted. Tuoba Xianbei fought so many battles for the imperial court. , If there is no reward from Daijun, I am afraid that the Murong clan is also ambitious. Changli and Liaoxi are in their hands, and what's so strange about taking Beiping?"
" Ming Gong must not let the Murong family get involved." Yang Dan frowned and said, "The Duan tribe has a hundred thousand people, which is not a small number. If the Murong family is defeated, the remaining Muzi will be killed. All the herdsmen can be conquered by Murong. In this way, the Murong family's strength will greatly increase and become more and more uncontrollable."
"Ming Gong, Youzhou still has 800,000 grains. If you send tens of thousands of troops, it will be sufficient. In two or three months, we may invite them to attack."
"Ming Gong, we cannot let the Murong family enter Peiping."
"Ming Gong..."
It can be seen that General Youzhou is really a little anxious.
Who in this world is really willing to give up his own interests to cater to others?
Once Murong Xianbei entered Youzhou, the situation was completely different from when Chen Gong occupied Youzhou.
The Murong clan has its own tribe, which is very powerful. At the same time, there were also a large number of scholars and refugees who took refuge in the past. Once they take control of Youzhou, they will inevitably place a large number of their own people in order to occupy the official positions of Youzhou locals.
In fact, a large number of Xianbei tribes moved inward, completely changing the population structure of Youzhou, competing with Wubao Shuai and even ordinary people for fields, pastures, and forests.
But Chen Gong could not do this.
To put it harshly, his rule over the entire Youzhou is actually of a restrictive nature. Unless he relocates soldiers and civilians from Henan as his base, he will not be able to truly change the current situation.
Comparing the two, it is obvious what to do.
"Meng Sun." Shao Xun glanced at Zhang Bin, who was sitting low-key and invisible in the corner, and asked, "What can you do?"
Seeing that his name was called, Zhang Bin could not continue to remain invisible, so he could only say: "Ming Gong might spread the news that Murong Xianbei is going to attack Peiping. In this way, Duan Bu will definitely panic, and things will be much easier to handle. "
"Well..." Shao Xun thought for a while and praised: "This is a good plan."
Everyone has an idea of Duan Xianbei's current state.
The internal situation must be torn apart. Liaoxi County Duke Duan Ji Lu Jian cannot control everyone. He, Duan Mobo, Duan Shefuchen, Duan Pixi, Duan Wenyang and other powerful factions have their own ideas, and it is not necessarily the case that all of them are going to the dark side.
Appropriate application of pressure can promote the internal differentiation of Duan Xianbei, making it much easier to fight.
"This matter can be handled immediately." Shao Xun said: "What else can be done?" "Ming Gong." The elder Liu Han suddenly spoke: "Ming Gong said before that he would suppress Duan Bu I believe that Fu should be the main force and suppression should be the supplement. Now the armies of Heijin and Yicong in Jicheng are no more than ten thousand. Zhang Wu has only a few thousand troops. When Duan's life and death are at stake, can these tens of thousands of soldiers be enough?"
No one else was mentioned by Liu Han. It has been said before, but it is something that must be guarded against: "What if Murong Xianbei comes with a crowd and goes straight to Ming Gong? How to deal with it?"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone's expression changed, even Shao Xun His expression also became serious.
After a little deduction, we can see that this is not impossible.
In despair, Duan Bu Xianbei might surrender to Murong Xianbei. In the past few years, countless clan leaders have taken refuge with their tribesmen.
The only ones who are really difficult to rely on are the senior leaders of the tribe, and it’s hard to tell.
If Murong Xianbei annexes the Duan clan and attacks Jicheng directly, can you really withstand it?
The Yi Congjun may have been defeated directly.
The black army of more than four thousand and a half will be completely wiped out.
Silver Spear Right Battalion is difficult to support alone, and the possibility of destruction is not small.
At that time, not only will Youzhou change, but even Jizhou will face turmoil, and the losses will be huge.
Of course, the number of troops that Shao Xun can mobilize does not seem to be more than 10,000. After all, there are still people in Youzhou. However, Yan soldiers are quite afraid of Xianbei, and it is difficult to guess how much strength they can exert.
When the war is unfavorable, it is not impossible to break up in a hurry.
To put it bluntly, don’t do it poorly and pierce the tiger’s skin, otherwise the situation will become complicated.
After all, you are using your silver spear, black gun, and Yi Cong to intimidate the undecided Youzhou soldiers and the barbarians. Once the tiger skin is exposed and the myth of victory in every battle is shattered, people will be dissatisfied.
Shao Xun stood up and walked around the room twice.
His eyes came into contact with Zhang Bin, and Zhang Bin nodded slightly.
He only proposed one strategy just now: to publicize the news that Murong Xianbei was going to attack the Duan family, and it was obvious that he would focus on Fu.
I just couldn't figure out Shao Xun's thinking and didn't put forward any more opinions.
"Shi Lun." Shao Xun looked at Yang Yu and said.
"Servant here."
"A messenger came to Peiping years ago, but the appeasement failed. Are you willing to make another trip?" Shao Xun asked.
"When will we set off?"
"We can make the trip after my troops are dispatched." Shao Xun said: "If you are willing to come and surrender, you can give it to three generals, and you can still do it in the future. Help them capture western Liaoning and drive out Murong Xianbei."
"Follow your orders."
"Produced in Taiwan." Shao Xun said again: "I'll go to Xu Wu and contact the tribes in Peiping."
"Follow your orders."
"Guangming, how many tribal light cavalry can be recruited at this time?" Shao Xun asked.
"The pasture has not turned green yet, and there are many things to do, so I'm afraid it will be difficult." You Tong said truthfully: "If we spread money and food to attract people, we might be able to get more than 10,000 riders."
"Recruit as much as possible." Shao Xun said: "The sooner the better."
These tribal soldiers know Xianbei's prestigious reputation and will definitely not be able to fight a tough battle, but they cannot be used without them, let alone without them.
"The five towns of Feilongshan, Puyangshan, Yijing, Wuqiang, and Lukou will each bring two thousand horses to the meeting." Shao Xun made the final decision: "When the armies come, they must be quick. Send troops slowly, use both suppression and appeasement, and focus on appeasement."
After that, he waved his hand and said, "We will discuss it carefully and check for any gaps."
Zhang. Bin looked at Shao Xun silently.
I wonder if Mr. Chen regrets taking Youzhou so early.
If you don’t take Youzhou, you won’t have so many worries.
After taking Youzhou, we have to face the Xianbei.
Murong probably started planning to attack Duanbu after learning about the changes in Youzhou last year.
They have no friendship with Ming Gong, so it’s hard to say what their specific attitude is.
In addition, there is a more powerful Yuwen Xianbei watching from the side. There is a high probability that they will not go south, but what if?
Youzhou should not start another war, otherwise there will never be peace.
