"What's abnormal, come on!" Hearing Murong Yan's words, Murong Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly urged. A little anomaly might not be a big deal in normal times, but after today's incident, even the smallest anomaly has become extraordinary.

Murong Yan paused, cleared his thoughts, and then said, "Just two days ago, the spies accidentally discovered that Liu He had left the Endless City and traveled in the direction of the south, and did not return until the second day. ”

Hearing Murong Yan say this, Murong Yu seemed to have some memory. At that time, Murong Yan had already reported to him, saying that Liu He had left Endless City and disappeared for a day. Because it was not the first time that Liu He had done this, Murong Yu didn't pay too much attention to it. In the past, Liu He would often leave some time, saying that he was going to contact the old ministry to prepare for their operation. And every time the city is attacked, because of the reason that Liu He has contacted, most of the cities are surrendered without a fight, without spending a single soldier, even if there is a city with resistance, the battle is not so strong, therefore, for Liu He's every move to contact the old department, Wu Yan and Murong Yu are extremely in favor.

Therefore, after Murong Yan reported to him, he left it behind. Although this time took more time than before, doesn't it mean that there are more benefits to be gained. At this moment, Murong Yan said this, and did not say that he had mentioned this matter before, obviously to save face for Murong Yu, the main general.

"Linking two things together is a big deal. Murong Yu's face was serious, and his thick eyebrows were furrowed. "You can say what you think, this is a critical juncture, and if things deviate, we may be doomed. ”

"General!"

After listening to Murong Yu's words, Murong Yan, the deputy general, was the first to stand up and express his opinion.

"Liu He is the son of Liu Yu, the former assassin of Youzhou, and it seems that we have been able to easily seize the city these days. Liu Yu's prestige in Youzhou is still extremely deep, and Liu He, the son, can show something. If, according to the general's words, Liu He has a different intention to cancel the alliance with us, perhaps he already has enough soldiers and horses in his hands, and he can already confront Gongsun Zhan without our help. I want to take the opportunity to turn on us. ”

"Liu He has the heart to turn his face with us, this is inevitable. However, it is unlikely that he can rely on Liu Yu's accumulated prestige to gather enough strength to confront Gongsun Zhan. ”

Murong Yu thought about the possibility of what Murong Yan said, and quickly shook his head to extinguish this idea.

Since Liu Yu came to power in Youzhou, he has been generous and benevolent, and the people are willing to do so, which is well known, and even the alien races in the north are deeply favored by him. But. Receiving the benefits of Liu Yu does not mean that the people have to die for Liu Yu. There is a saying that "the king treats me as a countryman, and I should repay him as a countryman" is exactly this truth. Liu Yu, as a parent official, as a good official, is strict in governance, will not let the people be oppressed, and has unfair treatment, which can also make the people of Youzhou grateful to Dade. But. Liu Yu only benefited the people in governance, but he could not benefit the people materially and economically. If Liu Yu let the people of Youzhou eat big fish and meat. The family is rich in warehouses and has a lot of gold and silver in their pockets, and at this time, with the simplicity of the people, it may be possible for Liu Yu to sell his life. Of course. If the people who have benefited more will also remember Liu Yu's goodness, just like the 20,000 soldiers gathered by Liu He, obviously belong to this range. As for the people who can't be gathered, they remember Liu Yu's kindness in their hearts at most. Let them die for Liu Yu, naturally it is impossible.

The people are simple and kind, but at the same time, they are also the most forgetful group. They can forget all about a person's benefits in a very short period of time. Because of Liu Yu's governance and Youzhou's rule of Qingming, the people were not oppressed too much, and their lives were better, so they didn't want the war to happen.

If you want to involve people in the war, you will only take this path when they can't survive.

Either the darkness of the court makes the people unable to live, but today's court is too busy to take care of itself, and it can't even take care of itself, and the orders can't be executed, so how can there be leisure to oppress the people; second, that is, the people have no food to eat, and they can't live, because of Liu Yu's governance, although the people of Youzhou are not big fish and meat, they can still fill their stomachs, which can naturally be ruled out; there is another reason, naturally, it is the compulsory conscription of the princes of one side, and the people have to enter the army. However, not long after Gongsun Zhan killed Liu Yu, in order to stabilize the hearts of the people of Youzhou, he did not forcibly recruit soldiers. Otherwise, Gongsun Zhan forcibly conscripted the people of Youzhou into the army, and he couldn't say that he could summon three or five hundred thousand to have a hard fight with Yuan Shao, at that time, Yuan Shao might do the same, but it would only make the two lose and cheapen other forces. Therefore, even in the unfavorable situation of the war, Gongsun Chan did not forcibly recruit soldiers.

Therefore, when the people's lives are stable and three meals are expected, the vast majority of the people will not follow Liu He to find trouble with Gongsun Zan for Liu Yu's small favors. The reason why people of other races are brave and brave and not afraid of death is not because they are born to be this way. Rather, it is because the place where they live is barren and desolate. Many people feel that it is very chic and comfortable to gallop across the prairie and live by grass, however, they do not live on the prairie day after day, year after year. When they have experienced the days when there were no iron utensils and they had to be anxious about how to obtain salt, they knew the hardships of life. Today's era is different from later generations, what is lacking in later generations, trains, airplanes and other means of transportation, and now it is still the era of confrontation between Han people and foreign races, the imperial court strictly controls the circulation of daily necessities such as iron and salt to foreign races, so the foreign race robs the past in order to survive, as for peaceful coexistence, people in this era are not so noble in the ideological realm, and the so-called hateful people must have their pathetic, but this is the truth.

After listening to Murong Yu's analysis, everyone present was also stunned. The soldiers and horses that Liu He can convene have also been summoned, and the soldiers and horses that cannot be summoned can't be summoned even if he Liu He Koucan Ruolian can. Therefore, Murong Yan's conjecture was naturally rejected.

Another general stood up and said angrily: "General, Liu He can't gather soldiers and horses by himself, or may he borrow soldiers and horses from elsewhere?"

If it is said that Yuan Shao lent soldiers and horses to Liu He. It seems to be said in the past.

For Yuan Shao, all the generals present naturally knew about it, and no one knew about it. In the past, the princes of the Eighteenth Route crusaded against Dong Zhuo, although they finally failed and dispersed. However, as the leader of the Eighteenth Route Princes' Alliance, Yuan Shao is naturally famous all over the world. Aliens are just low in culture. I'm not an idiot, of course I know Yuan Shao.

Moreover, Yuan Shao is also the son of the Yuan family of the fourth and third dukes of the Han people, and his statement is significant, and he has won Jizhou to become the overlord of one party, if it is said that he lent troops to Liu He, there should be no problem.

However, there seems to be something wrong.

As far as Murong Yu knew, Yuan Shao was the most face-saving person. It should be impossible to lend troops to Liu He. So the question is, how can Yuan Shao lend troops to Liu He, how can it have anything to do with face?

As we all know, Youzhou was originally Liu Yu's territory. Originally, when the princes of the Eighteenth Route were crusading against Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao originally wanted to abandon Emperor Han Xian and elect Liu Yu as emperor, but unfortunately Liu Yu refused. It is impossible to say that Yuan Shao has no grudge against Liu Yu in his heart, based on this. Nine times out of ten, Yuan Shao would not lend troops to Liu He to avenge his Lao Tzu; The princes of various places support their own troops, occupy an area and claim the king, and look at Yuan Shao's actions, you know that he has the idea of being the king and hegemon, otherwise, he will not be his Bohai County Taishou. And if Yuan Shao wants to dominate the world, he must have soldiers, generals, and strategists, why should these people defect to Yuan Shao. Naturally, it was because of Yuan Shao's prestige, how Yuan Shao's prestige came about, and he earned it by his face. If Yuan Shao lent troops to Liu He, then once Gongsun Zhan was solved, Liu He was the son of Liu Yu, although it was said that the official position was not the son inheriting his father's business, but if the officials of all counties and counties in Youzhou recommended Liu He as the new Youzhou assassin, then, what should Yuan Shao do, will he send troops to kill Liu He and take Youzhou, not to mention that the division is nameless, he lent troops to others before, and came back to beat others, Yuan Shao still has to lose face?

Therefore, looking at the above reasons, it is impossible for Yuan Shao to lend troops to Liu He.

After some thinking and analysis just now, Murong Yu was already able to affirm that Liu He must have other troops in addition to the 20,000 soldiers in his hands now, otherwise today's incident would never have happened. However, apart from Yuan Shao, where else could Liu He borrow soldiers and horses? The alien race in the north was first vetoed by Murong Yu, and with his understanding, this was absolutely impossible. As for the forces in the Central Plains, it is impossible to be too far away, and it seems that only Yuan Shao in Jizhou has this possibility, but Yuan Shao ruled it out, so who else?

Jizhou, Yuan Shao... The surname Yuan...

Suddenly, Murong Yu's eyes lit up, and he seemed to have a new goal.

Yuan Chang!

That's right, Murong Yu suddenly thought of Yuan Chang, the sixth son of the Yuan family who was useless and had no reputation before. Even now, Murong Yu doesn't know much about Yuan Chang's situation. just knew that Yuan Chang was the Taishou of Bohai County, and this time he followed Yuan Shao to send troops to Youzhou to attack Gongsun Zhan. Moreover, what is amazing is that Yuan Chang is only a county, but he has gathered 50,000 soldiers and horses, and other than that, Murong Yu doesn't know anything.

"Yuan Chang?"

Hearing Murong Yu pronounce this name, most of the generals present showed puzzled expressions, who is this Yuan Chang? Where did he come from? Why haven't I heard his name before? Of course, there are also a few people, like Murong Yan, Marching Sima Baorang and a few others have heard of this name, and they have only heard of this name, and they know less than Murong Yu.

"That's right, except for Yuan Chang, General Ben can't think of anyone else with such strength. ”

After such a momentary consideration, Murong Yu was already very sure that the soldiers and horses borrowed by Liu He were definitely Yuan Chang's.

"Yuan Chang, like Yuan Shao, is a member of the Yuan family. In addition, Yuan Chang served as the Taishou of Bohai County, and this time he followed Yuan Shao to send troops to Youzhou, and he was able to gather 50,000 soldiers and horses, just one county can gather so many troops, and this person must have his good qualities. Bao Rang, take the map to General Ben!"

"No!"

Bao Rang, as the marching Sima, was responsible for these contents, so after listening to Murong Yu's words, he took out a map made of cowhide from his arms.

"Look, everybody!"

Murong Yu pointed to a certain location on the map, but it was the county where Yuan Chang was stationed now. Although he doesn't know Yuan Chang very well, everyone is now taking Gongsun Zhan under the knife, and they naturally have some understanding of each other. Therefore, it is not a very secret thing that Yuan Chang is stationed in Yu County.

"From the point of view of time, it is only half a day's work to go from Wuzhong City to Yu County, and if the horse is fast, it will not even be half a day, so Liu He goes to Yu County and returns, which is enough from the perspective of time; secondly, Yuan Chang is the Taishou of Bohai County, however, according to the situation reported by the spies, it seems that the soldiers and horses of Bohai County are not under the jurisdiction of Yuan Shao, but under the jurisdiction of Yuan Chang. In this way, Yuan Chang has a different approach from Yuan Shao, which can also be said to be in the past. Yuan Chang had 50,000 soldiers and horses, and it was very likely that he borrowed from Liu He ranging from 20,000 to 30,000, although I don't know what the combat power of Yuan Chang's soldiers and horses was. However, as long as he doesn't fight hard with us on the grassland, Liu He's 20,000 soldiers and horses, plus the soldiers and horses he borrowed from Yuan Chang, are enough to support Liu He to turn against us. ”

"What the general said is very true!"

"The general is worthy of being our Xianbei think tank, and he has completely seen through the thoughts of Liu He and Yuan Changxiaoer. ”

"The general is wise and wise, and the last general is full of admiration. ”

I have to say that after learning the culture of the Han people, the grassland people, who originally relied on their strength to speak, are now being taught by them nine times out of ten.

Murong Yu may have gotten used to it, and he didn't show any dissatisfied expression, but there was a slight smile on his face, who doesn't like to listen to nice words. Besides, his Murong Yu's wisdom is also ranked first in Eastern Xianbei, and what his subordinates say is also the truth, how could Murong Yu be unhappy.

"General, in this way, Liu He has already decided to turn against us, and he will definitely make a move in the near future. We should be more vigilant, should we inform them in Uyan?"

Murong Yan didn't bother to pat himself on the back, as Murong Yu's cousin, he believed that Murong Yu would not treat him badly.

"Humph!"

Murong Yu sneered, the corners of his mouth showed an evil curve, and he said in a deep voice: "Wuyan has always been arrogant, and we have to use Liu He's excuse to send troops, if we don't have this excuse, continuing to fight will cause dissatisfaction among the Han people, and maybe it will cause trouble." Now that Liu He wants to make a move, we will be careful ourselves, and when the time comes, let Wuyan and Liu He fight to the death, and we will finally benefit from the fisherman, wouldn't it be painful!"

Murong Yu was in a good mood, and couldn't help but take a bite of Wen Crepe's words, but no one objected to Murong Yu's approach. (To be continued.) )
