494 Crusade against the Xianbei people is the best policy

War broke out in Yizhou and Yangzhou, but Jingzhou, which was sandwiched in the middle, had not yet made a decision.

Liu Biao's strength was not enough to start a war, and the wealthy clans of Jingzhou firmly held the local power, so that Liu Biao had nowhere to do, and if Liu Biao wanted to be the king of Chu, he had to get the support of the locals in Jingzhou.

In fact, Cai Mao and others know that the so-called single ride into Jingzhou is just a nice talk, without their support, you see if Liu Biao can be a pastor in Jingzhou!

How can there be such a good thing in the world, it is nothing more than an exchange of interests, handing over actual power in exchange for a position of honor and leader, and things that do not involve core interests, everyone tries their best to cooperate, and when it comes to core interests, everyone tries their best not to cooperate.

Liu Biao is so embarrassed.

If he wants to be the king of Chu, he has no strength, and his subordinates don't let him do it.

Liu Biao was itchy and asked his wife Cai to find Cai Mao, and his son Liu Qi to find Kuai - he needed support.

The result was not clear, neither Cai nor Liu Qi brought back a clear recovery, and Cai even persuaded Liu Biao not to be the king of Chu, so as not to be the truth.

Liu Biao finally broke out, angrily reprimanded Cai's family, and violently shook her husband's gang, scaring Cai's face and crying incessantly.

After learning the news, Cai Mao's face was very bad.

Liu Biao originally didn't have any benefits to exchange for everyone to support him, but now he bullied his sister, Cai Mao was very angry, so he made up his mind not to let Liu Biao be the king of Chu, so that he could realize who was the real master of Jingzhou!

Therefore, when the other seven kingdoms were established in various ways, only Liu Biao's side still could not establish a Chu state.

Liu Biao was very angry and said that the consequences were very serious, but the protagonists of Jingzhou ignored him, but used the reason of "fraud" to prevaricate him, that is, they did not agree to support him.

Liu Biao wanted to vomit blood angrily.

By mid-December, when Guo Peng straightened out government affairs in Bingzhou and returned to Yecheng unhurriedly, there were already many people who wanted to ask Guo Peng's opinion on such a matter and see if he had a solution.

Forget about a feudal country, Guo Peng can be regarded as justifiably accumulating meritorious deeds, what are the others?

I heard that some people didn't even abide by the three resignations, so I couldn't wait to accept them.

Yes, that's right, it's Liu Xuan.

It's ugly.

Isn't this a mess?

So for this matter, Guo Peng convened a meeting of his leading figures to try to unify their understanding.

"Lone also understands this, but as far as Lone is concerned, how can he oppose it? The seal of the Son of Heaven, the edict of the Son of Heaven, and the seal of the Son of Heaven, how can it be regarded as justifiable? Lone is also given by the Son of Heaven, and they are also given by the Son of Heaven, if the Son of Heaven wants to give the title, can he still refute it as a subordinate? ”

Guo Peng told everyone about his situation, explained his embarrassing situation in this matter, and said that he was actually quite embarrassed and didn't know how to express his position on this matter.

I know that this is not good, but as the same monarch, do you not know what position to use to evaluate this matter, and do you want to provoke a war for this kind of thing?

Guo Peng shook his head again and again.

Cai Yong, who was the most anxious, didn't know how to answer this, did he want Guo Peng to march south to sweep away these shameless people, or march to Hongnong to rescue the emperor?

Cai Yong knew that these things were not something he should meddle in, but seeing that the people of Liangzhou were going to play the whole world badly, he really couldn't watch it.

Despite this, he was only against it, and could not think of a solution.

This kind of thing has never happened before, and the last time it happened was a thousand years ago, so do they want to look for a solution from the texts of a thousand years ago?

Guo Peng asked them to come up with a solution, but they really didn't know how to solve this kind of thing, and there was no precedent at all.

Although many officials also put on the table and hoped that Guo Peng could stand up and say something, what should Guo Peng say?

The Son of Heaven bestows the title and the name is justified, unless they rebel, what can I do?

And Guo Peng didn't want to speak.

For Xun Yu and others, who were in a hurry to get on the more than a dozen minutes, Guo Peng directly burned their recital, as if there was no such thing.

Everyone was dumbfounded and didn't know what to do, but Guo Peng took advantage of the situation to transfer the conference center to the construction of Bingzhou.

At the same time, the staff station began to discuss according to Guo Peng's request whether it was better to go on the Northern Expedition to Xianbei or to crusade against Gongsun Du of Liaodong.

That's right, Guo Peng's side has finished fighting the Xiongnu in Bingzhou, and he is about to start planning the next battle.

Guo Peng doesn't plan to waste too much time.

Guo Peng's reasons are very strong.

The Xianbei people did not submit to the Han Dynasty and repeatedly invaded the south, so they must be conscripted and exterminated, so as to maintain peace in the north.

Gongsun Du is similar, he did not get the permission of the imperial court, set up the second ancestral temple of the Han Dynasty, undertook to set up an altar in the south of Xiangping City, worship the world in the suburbs, borrow the field, govern the army, take the Luan Road, Jiuhan, and the head of the feather ride, have ambitions, and should be crusaded.

Guo Peng gave the staff station a choice of two options, so the staff station forgot to discuss the question of whether to fight or not to fight, but discussed the question of whether to crusade against Gongsun Du or Xianbei people.

After discussing for a while, the staff station basically agreed on its opinions.

Crusading against Gongsun Du is the next policy, and crusading against the Xianbei people is the best policy.

Everyone disagreed with Guo Peng's crusade against Gongsun Du, and suggested that Guo Peng crusade against the Xianbei people.

It is not unreasonable that the regime of the Gongsun clan of Liaodong was entrenched for fifty years, and it was not until the late Three Kingdoms period that it was pacified by Sima Yi.

First of all, the problem of the warlords of the Central Plains themselves, the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu are the biggest enemies of each other, and the Gongsun clan of Liaodong is not an important target, so it has been ignored, which is an important reason why the Gongsun clan of Liaodong can survive for fifty years.

If you want to talk about peace, it must be able to be leveled, the bitter cold land, lack of population, productivity, war mobilization force can not be compared with the Central Plains, even if it is consumed, it will consume them to death.

However, the Gongsun regime of Liaodong in the late Eastern Han Dynasty explained the truth that "as long as I become a piece of, no one will dare to step on my head".

It may not be appropriate to describe this place as, but in the eyes of the powerful, the land of Liaodong at this moment is still very chicken, and it has no value and meaning.

According to the traffic situation at this time, even if Zhuo County, which is also Youzhou, is used as the starting point, it will take at least sixty days to reach the Liaodong battlefield, not because the distance is too far, but because of the existence of Liaoze, which makes the territory occupied by Gongsun Du have a natural barrier.

There are a large number of swamps in the middle and lower reaches of the Liaohe River, named Liaoze, and when Taizong of the Tang Dynasty went eastward in later generations, he had a headache because of the existence of Liaoze.

"The car drove to Liaoze, the quagmire was more than 200 miles, and people and horses could not pass", which shows how much impact the existence of Liaoze has brought to the army's march.

This was still the case in the Tang Dynasty, and even more so in the late Han Dynasty.

In many cases, the dynasty was not unwilling to fight, nor was it complacent and unwilling to expand, but the difficulties and dangers that could not be seen on the map of the flat river hindered the intention of attacking.

On such a terrain, every step is a silver coin spent in vain, and the so-called cannon fires ten thousand taels of gold, and the cost of fighting a war is too great.

And it doesn't necessarily have a good interest to fight down, the poor and remote Youzhou, although a large number of people have migrated because of the chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty, but a large number of people are not only in Liaodong, but also in other parts of Youzhou, and Gongsun Du's territory is estimated to have a population of 300,000.

For the sake of 300,000 people, spending a lot of troops, money and food, traveling hundreds of miles, and taking a piece of undeveloped land in the bitter cold, isn't this a sacrifice of the basics?

So Chen Gong told Guo Peng his thoughts.
