What is the reaction of Xianbei and the Luoyang Imperial Court, Gongsun Du will not pay attention to it, and he will not have the leisure to pay attention to it.

"What's wrong? What happened? ”

Gongsun Du had received an urgent report from Wei Yu the day before he received the report from the Second Netherworld Team, but he was uneasy when the imperial envoy did not handle the matter well, so he did not return to Xiangping immediately. However, after getting the news, the next day, Gongsun Du hurried back.

"What is it that you can't even decide Qingping, you have to decide it yourself?"

Wei You ignored Gongsun Du's jokes, and said with a solemn face: "Lord, my subordinates think it's better for you to see Commander Cheng Pu first." ”

"Huh?" Gongsun Du immediately understood that this matter was mostly related to Cheng Pu, but why was it related to him?

"Where's the others?"

Wei You said: "The subordinates asked him to wait in the side hall. ”

"Hmm." Gongsun Du answered, and said to the soldiers beside him, "Go and bring Commander Cheng Pu to the study." ”

"Yes, my lord."

Later, Gongsun Du asked his soldiers to send some changes of clothes to his room, and then went to the study with Wei You.

Not much.

As soon as Gongsun Du changed his clothes, the voice of his own soldiers came from outside the door: "Lord, Cheng Pu is the commander." ”

"Yes, my lord."

Creak~

"Sin General Cheng Pu visits the lord!"

Gongsun Du looked at Cheng Pu's messy and haggard face, couldn't help frowning, glanced at Wei You, and then personally helped him up: "Whether you are guilty or not, you will talk about it later, now you sit down first, drink some water, and stabilize your mind." ”

Cheng Pu was about to say more, but Gongsun Du didn't give him a chance, and walked straight to the desk and sat down.

"Thank you, lord!" Cheng Pu thought that he had made a big mistake this time and would be removed from his post if he was not beheaded, but now his own lord has no intention of blaming at all, and he is both moved and relieved in his heart.

"Lord ......"

Wei You felt that something was wrong and opened his mouth to speak, but Gongsun Du frowned and stopped him with his gaze.

Cheng Pu drank two sips of water, stabilized his mind, and then spoke: "Lord, this year, due to Xianbei's southern invasion of Jizhou, there are a lot of people recruited by the Mi family, as well as people who have fled to Donglai, hundreds of thousands. ”

Gongsun Du nodded and said: "The richness of Jizhou is the best in the world, and the population is the largest among the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, with no less than five million, even if half of them were killed by Xianbei or fled into the mountains and forests, half of them still fled, or went to Yanyu Erzhou, or to Qingxu Erzhou, so it is understandable that there are hundreds of thousands of people who can go to Donglai." ”

After speaking, Gongsun Du frowned and said, "With so many people suddenly pouring in, it is impossible for Donglai Taishou not to notice it, right?" ”

After speaking, look at Cheng Pu.

Cheng Pu hurriedly replied: "That's right, lord, Donglai Taishou did ask about this matter, but fortunately, the head of the Mi family came forward in time and took care of everything." ”

"I see!" Gongsun Du suddenly realized when he heard this, but his brows were still furrowed tightly, "Even so, Donglai has always been poor, and so many people suddenly poured in, not to mention the problem of public security, I'm afraid it's not easy to solve it if you say that it's not easy to eat!" ”

Cheng Pu scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "So the subordinates took the initiative to bring them all to Liaodong." ”

"What?" Gongsun Du was shocked, then eased his nerves, stared at Cheng Pudao, "This is impossible, hundreds of thousands of people, how can they all be transported?" Besides, what about them? ”

"Didn't the subordinates receive some warships this year, and if they were fully loaded at one time, they could transport seventy or eighty thousand people." Cheng Pu explained.

"That's not right! Seventy or eighty thousand people at a time, hundreds of thousands of people, even if it is 400,000 people, how can it be five or six times? Gongsun Du was surprised, "How can you have so much time to pick up people, don't say anything else, if you do this, you can let Donglai Taishou know everything, he knows it, but it means that the court knows, if so, you still apologize for yourself!" ”

Cheng Pu pouted, knelt on the ground, and explained: "Lord, if it is really exposed, it will be difficult for his subordinates to take the blame!" ”

"Huh? You mean not exposed? ”

"Yes, my lord!" Cheng Pu knew that if he didn't explain it clearly, his life would not be saved, and he said quite quickly, "The subordinates are also worried that they will be exposed, so after the subordinates communicated with the head of the Mi family, they took these people to six remote locations near the sea, and sent them all to Black Mountain Island within a month, and then gradually sent them to Jinjin in batches." ”

"What about people? Where is it? Did you bring it all back? Gongsun Du couldn't sit still, got up, took a few steps in front of Cheng Pu, and said excitedly.

Wei You's face was complicated, in his opinion, although Cheng Pu's move was not a major crime committed below, there was no way to escape the charge of making an unauthorized claim, especially ......

But seeing that Gongsun Du Rusi was excited, how could there be any intention to investigate.

"That's it, there are no rules. It is important to be the main one, and to do one's duty. Wei You sighed in his heart and decided to persuade him later.

Cheng Pu said with an embarrassed face: "More than half of them are in Jinjin now, and the remaining little half are on Chenghuang Island not far from Jinjin. ”

Gongsun Du ignored his embarrassment, paced back and forth in the study, and thought about it.

Half a day.

"Bring them all back as soon as possible, it's not far from the snowfall season, so it's important to arrange them as soon as possible." Gongsun Du said in a deep voice. In a war, in addition to armor and equipment, the most important thing is the war potential, as long as there are enough people, he dares to pick four and directly use troops against the Xianbei, Buyeo and other four tribes. It's like now that you can only be aggrieved and trapped in the cities of Liaodong.

"Yes, my lord. His subordinates will definitely send them to Jinjin as soon as possible. Cheng Pu was excited, and he felt the importance of his lord to these people.

"No, don't send them to Yujin, just send them to Fanhan and Wuxian Ercheng." Gongsun Du waved his hand. The possibility of Xianbei coming next year is extremely high, whether it is to increase the strategic depth or to improve the strength, the time has come to recover Lelang and the belt side. Fan Khan and Wu Worry, as well as Xi Jinping are the forwards.

"Yes, my lord." Cheng Pu was stunned, but still responded. After all, everything else is the same except for a little farther away, and it just takes more time, and if you change to a land route, maybe it will take more time.

The matter seemed to be settled, and Wei You interjected at the right time: "My lord, my subordinates think that it is inappropriate for Cheng Pu to lead this move, not only to advocate for it, but also to affect millions of people in Liaodong. ”

After a pause, he explained: "Since these hundreds of thousands of people have fled, they must have no food left, and they still need food from the lord to survive until next autumn's harvest." However, now that there is not much grain and grass in Liaodong, if it is used to save the lives of these hundreds of thousands of people, how can it be supplied to the sergeants when Xianbei comes to attack next year? ”

Gongsun Du originally thought that Wei You was too calculating, but now it seems that he is focusing on the overall situation and thinking about the long-term. couldn't help bowing and said, "What Qingping said is reasonable, it's a certain Meng Lang!" ”

Wei You hurriedly said: "The lord must not be like this, this is just a matter of the Qing Dynasty, and the lord must not be courtesy!" ”

Gongsun Du didn't feel that there was anything to be ashamed of, but Wei You's face was sincere and fearful, and he sighed in his heart, so he could only say: "It's hard work." ”

Immediately fell into deep thought, Wei You couldn't say anything more when he saw this.

After thinking about it, Gongsun Du fully understood that this era has its own way of dealing with it, and it cannot be dealt with in his original and inherent way. It used to be fine, but this thing obviously doesn't work. But to give up completely, he is unwilling. It's just that you have to take your time, at least for now, and make big concessions.

After thinking for a long time, Gongsun Du made a decision and said: "There is a way to be unaffected by the life of the king outside!" Demou's move is excellent, and it can be regarded as meritorious. ”

"Therefore, Cheng Pu is meritorious, he should be rewarded with a thousand gold, and he will be promoted to a knight!"

However, after returning to Jinjin for the first time, he did not report it in time, which is the crime of not reporting the situation in time. After that, he repeatedly failed to report it, and the crime was increased by one degree! In addition, Liaodong has a small fortune and a small number of people, and suddenly increases the number of hundreds of thousands, and the burden is very heavy, disrupting the plan, and is suspected of disturbing stability. ”

Therefore, Cheng Pu is guilty and should be punished! confiscated the wealth of the daughter, cut the official and lost the title, and was demoted to the capital of the navy, but in view of the fact that no one in the army was good at water warfare, Cheng Pu temporarily took over as the commander of the navy, hoping to make new contributions as soon as possible and reinstate the official. ”

"So, Cheng Pu, can you take it?"

After finishing speaking, Gongsun Du said to Wei Yu again: "What does Qingping think? ”

"Subordinates bow!" Cheng Pu also found that he had indeed made a big mistake, even if his head was cut off, it was normal, and now he not only got one, but also had the hope of being reinstated, he was very happy, but he didn't get carried away, "My subordinates have thanked the lord for sparing his life!" ”

Gongsun Du nodded and looked at Wei You.

Seeing this, Wei Yu felt helpless in his heart, but he also understood that this disposal was undoubtedly the best choice. If you want to let those hundreds of thousands of people return to Donglai, not to mention exposing the secret that Liaodong can connect with the Central Plains, I am afraid that many people will not survive this year and will be starved to death.

"The lord is fair, and his subordinates are respectful!"

"Hahaha, good!" Gongsun Du was overjoyed, "In this way, Cheng Pu, why don't you hurry up and do what you order!" ”

Cheng Pu was stunned for a moment, then understood, and hurriedly said, "Yes, lord." With that, he withdrew.

"In this matter, except for Qingping, no one else can not only let these hundreds of thousands of people have no worries about food and clothing, but also not affect the stability of Liaodong." Gongsun Du said sincerely, "Qingping, these hundreds of thousands of people are determined to win, I don't know if Qingping is willing to help someone?" ”

Wei Yu bowed and said: "The subordinates dare to disobey their orders!" ”

"In this way, there will be Lao Qingping!" Gongsun Du patted Wei You's shoulder and said very kindly.
