Tong Yuan wanted to ask about the situation of the Huns and see if they wanted to recover Hedong County immediately.

Jia Xu did not talk about Yufuluo, the Southern Xiongnu who occupied Pingyang, Hedong, but started with Zhang Yang of Hanoi County in the east of Hedong County.

"Zhang Yang fought bravely and occupied the land of Hanoi. However, he was weak and defective, and two years ago he defected to Yuan Shao and other Kwantung rebels, and was later held hostage by the Xiongnu Shan Yu Fuluo. Last year, he surrendered to Dong Taishi, and relied on the collection of the weaker thief army of Montenegro and Baibo and the original team of 1,000 soldiers and horses to occupy the land of Hanoi. ”

"This man is stationed in a territory bordering our armies of Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Bai Bo, Xiongnu and Si Li, so he is a buffer to temporarily balance the parties. If you don't have the strength to defeat the above enemies in one battle, you shouldn't move. ”

Tong Yuan was deeply shocked when he heard this, this Zhang Yang was really unknown in later generations, at most, during the Li Guo Rebellion, he was tired by the generals of Xiliang, trying to help the Son of Heaven and control the world. However, the strength was too weak and he was quickly out.

I didn't expect such a legendary story to happen to this person, and he occupied a buffer zone between the powers, which was recognized by many parties. It seems that Hanoi Zhang Yang is the most immobile, unless he wants to fight with the alliance of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

Tong Yuan asked, "What about the Southern Xiongnu on the northeast side of the river?"

Jia Xu smiled: "That's even more interesting." However, before talking about the Xiongnu, let's talk about the rebellion in the Kwantung region. Does the general know that the Kwantung traitors are now divided into two forces to attack each other? ”

Tong Yuan had a little knowledge of the Three Kingdoms, but now he happened to forget some of it, and said, "Eh, Yuan Shao vs. Gongsun Zhan?"

"Exactly, it's just Yuan Shao and half of his subordinate Cao Cao, against Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zhan, Tao Qian and Liu Bei who are attached to Gongsun Zhan, Zhang Yan who gallops in Taihang, and the encirclement of the Southern Xiongnu."

"This Cao Cao, Cao Mengde is really not simple. Last year, when Yuan Shu and Tao Qian were eyeing each other, he still sent troops to cross Baimajin, and defeated the Xiongnu Yu Fuluo in Neihuang, north of Liyang, Wei County, and rescued Zhang Yang's soldiers and horses. ”

Tong Yuan's thoughts began to diverge at this time, "Oh no, this Jia Xu admires Cao Cao from now on." Although I respect Cao Cao very much, and I have never had the idea of taking refuge, but now my official position is much higher than him, and I have become an army of my own. Jia Xu, don't think about Cao Cao. ”

Where did Jia Xu guess that Tong Yuan was thinking about him and Cao Cao in every way. continued: "So at the moment, the strength of the Huns is slightly weaker."

Tong Yuan's attention came back, and he couldn't help asking: "But the Huns are hundred-legged insects that die but not stiffen, even if this part is a little weaker, are the other forces very strong?"

"Now the Southern Xiongnu are divided into two parts, the old and the new, and the old royal court occupies Hetao, Shangjun, Xihe County and other places. Yu Fuluo's branch called itself Shan Yu, and traveled to Hedong, Hanoi and other places, and finally settled in Pingyang and Linfen. ”

He temporarily allied himself with Yuan Shu and attacked Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. I don't know if General Tong thought after hearing this, which ones were enemies and who were friends? ”

Eh, is this Jia Xu testing me? He was so confused that he was about to lose sight of the situation in each department.

After a little thinking, combined with the historical knowledge of later generations, I found an incredible thing, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao Alliance, Gongsun Zan in the north, the Southern Xiongnu and Montenegrin Army in the west, Yuan Shu in the south, Tao Qian in the east, and the Western Liang Army in Sanfu and Sili......

This is an encirclement, with Yuan Shao in the center and Cao Cao, who is semi-attached to Yuan Shao.

Tong Yuan remembered a famous saying in later generations, although there was a famous saying in later life, "There is no permanent enemy, no eternal friends, only eternal interests", but he didn't want to pretend too much in front of Jia Xu.

So he said with a little suspicion: "In this way, this is an anti-Yuan Shao encirclement net woven by Dong Taishi when he was still alive, and it stands to reason that my Xiliang army should cooperate with the Fu Luo Department to put pressure on Yuan Shao and Cao Cao." However, our army should adapt to the situation, first take Yang Fengbu as the lead to subdue the Bai Bo army, and then judge according to the situation. ”

"Hahaha! Yes, that's great. ”

Tong Yuan's answer far exceeded his expectations, and Jia Xu, who had always been deep and steady, couldn't help but smile and praise.

"This encirclement net is the handwriting of Li Ru and Li Wenyou, the military division of the Xiliang Army...... But it's a pity, it's a pity. If the host is not there, it will eventually be broken by Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. ”

Tong Yuan understood that Jia Xu was not his subordinate, and it was rare to be able to say so much on the Hedong issue and give such a clear direction and advice.

He asked: "The affairs of Hedong and Hetao must be done to the best of our ability. However, the rebellion of Western Liang, Han Sui, Ma Teng and Qianghu, in addition to Liangzhou, even Longxi and Tianshui are within their sphere of influence, how should they be handled? ”

Jia Xu thought to himself that he really asked about himself and the Dong family's hometown.

So he said: "Han Sui and Ma Teng nominally surrendered to our army, and General Li and others are likely to temporarily put the west of Yiwu under their command in order to stop the war in the world." It is basically certain that there will be no war in Xiliang within a year. ”

Jia Xu groaned: "In the long run, as long as there is an opportunity, they will still make trouble. Although Han Sui rebelled repeatedly, Ma Teng was extremely good at fighting, but the two of them were only the surface of the problem, and the rebellion of the Qianghu and border people behind it, as well as the contradictions between the scholars, the powerful and the lower-class people, were the stubborn diseases of the Han Dynasty. ”

Tong Yuan said: "Mr. was born in Xiliang and is familiar with side affairs, can there be a solution?"

Jia Xu's face was sad, and he said sadly: "Only when the big man is rich and strong, and maintain a strong army to deter the small group, can the enemy be eliminated." In addition, only the measure of helpless delay, but it is the way that must be adhered to. It is necessary to have a large army to deter them. ”

Tong Yuan basically has no problem, and in the end, because he respects Jia Xu very much, he is still grateful in every way. Jia Xu also has a good impression of the young General Pingbei.

However, Jia Xu is also strange, it is said that he should ask about Chang'an and the generals of Xiliang, but not only did he not speak, but he seemed to be confident. This is the only place that Jia Xu has not seen through.

Of course he didn't know, Tong Yuan had memories of the afterlife, and of course he knew these things. It can even be said that leaving the town of Xia Yang and trading with Li Dao and so on are all related to this.

At the beginning of July, Dong Jiajun completed the goods and preparations, and Tong Yuan, Dong Bai and others also paid tribute to Cai Yong and others, thanking him for daring to say a fair word for the Dong family in danger and denounced Wang Yun's tyranny.

Cai Yong's mansion was destroyed by Wang Yun and others, and a large number of classics were scattered everywhere, some were in the hands of students, some were collected by major famous families, and some were irreparably damaged.

Tong Yuan suggested that Dong Bai come forward to make friends with the Xiliang clan and ministers who focused on academics, and that she should come forward to collect Cai Yong's classics. Tong Yuan's suggestion is, of course, to pass on the excellent culture of the Han Dynasty, and he intends to form a relationship with his daughter, who is far more famous than him in later generations.

After everything was ready, he looked back at Chang'an, a prosperous capital that was about to experience a catastrophe, and he couldn't stop it directly by his own strength, but there was a way to deal with it.
