Chapter 204 Beacon Fire Smoke Spread Again in the Northland

……………………………………

Youzhou Zhisuo, Jixian County.

Today, Liu Yu received a letter from the headquarters of the Fourth Division of the Han Zheng Army, saying that His Majesty had appointed himself as the president of the military government. Liu Yu asked the strange-looking communications staff officer what the position of the presidential belt was, and the communications staff officer said that it was probably equivalent to the former lieutenant.

The subordinates congratulated Liu Yu one after another, saying that His Majesty was a saint and relied on a virtuous and loyal minister like Duke Ming, but Liu Yu did not show joy, and asked the communication staff officer if there was a successor in Youzhou. The communications staff officer replied that he was of a humble position and did not know the details, but it seemed that he had not heard of any new appointments.

Liu Yu paced for a long time, called the penman, and wrote a letter of note. The gist of the word: The situation in Youzhou is still grim, Hu Lu is often harassed, and the people are difficult to survive. His Majesty is planning to conquer Wuhuan recently, in order to raise the prestige of the sky, during the critical period, unable to leave, wait for the imperial court to send a large official to You, after handing over the affairs in person, please return to Beijing is not too late.

Accompanying the communications staff officers who returned to Jizhou was also a member of Tian Chou, who then entered Beijing from Tian Chou. Liu Yu repeatedly instructed Tian Chou to explain the situation in Youzhou in detail when he faced the saint, not that he dared to refuse the edict, but that he had no choice but to do so.

…………

At dusk, the South Palace, the Jade Hall Palace.

This is now also the office of the military government, because of an urgent war report, so at this moment the Yutang Hall is brightly lit, all the military attaches in Beijing gathered, saw Liu Hanshao strode in, got up and said in unison: "Good commander." ”

Liu Hanshao didn't respond, threw the general's hat and saber on the table, and asked with a gloomy face: "You have all seen the battle report, right?" ”

Lu Bu said indignantly: "Commander, these Hu slaves don't know whether they are alive or dead, you send me and don't kill all ......."

Before he finished speaking, seeing Liu Hanshao's cold and angry eyes, Lu Bu didn't dare to say any more.

"Sit down!"

As Liu Hanshao broke off, all the military attachés, including Lu Bu, sat down together until this time, waiting for the commander to speak.

The battle report was sent by Liu Pi from Hedong, because the drought and locust plague came one after another, and it was not only Liangzhou, Sili, and Yuzhou that were affected, but also Bingzhou and the Southern Xiongnu were also seriously affected. Therefore, in order to reduce the starvation of people to death in winter, the Southern Xiongnu actually organized a group to run in and plunder, and the total number of troops was two or three hundred thousand.

At the beginning, when Emperor Liu Hong was alive, he once conscripted the Southern Xiongnu to assist Liu Yu in his conquest of Wuhuan. Later, Tu and the tribes instigated the Southern Xiongnu tribes, saying that the matter of the Han Dynasty conscripting and sending the soldiers of the Southern Xiongnu would only become more and more fierce and would never stop. So all the departments rebelled together, attacked and killed the Southern Xiongnu at that time Shan Yu Qiangqu, and set up the Marquis of Xubu Gu as Shan Yu. However, the Marquis of Xubu Bone died after less than a year of reign, and from then on, the Southern Xiongnu were only in a vacant position, and the old kings of various tribes jointly presided over the clan affairs. It's a pity that the Southern Xiongnu is not a good tribe that pays attention to respecting the old and loving the young, since the old kings are old, they naturally have no weight to speak, and the real power of the various ministries is still effective.

Yu Fuluo, the son of Qiangqu Shan Yu, fled to the Han Dynasty, trying to let the Han Emperor preside over justice and canonize himself as the new Shan Yu of the Southern Xiongnu, but at this time, the Ling Emperor died, and the Han Dynasty was in chaos.

This time, Yu Fuluo actually united with Bai Bo Yu Guo Tai to raid the surrounding area of Taiyuan, and Youxian Wang Qubei and the right Gu Liwang Liluo robbed the Xihe River together, Yu Fuluo's younger brother, Zuo Xian Wang Hu Chuquan and indirectly killed his father to rob the upper county together.

The situation was critical, Liu Pi concentrated most of his troops in Yong'an, intending to use the geography of Huo Dashan to strictly prevent Yu Luo from going south, but the Pi line near the big river had to be guarded. Due to the disparity in troops, the situation was precarious, and Liu Bi struggled to support it.

"Zhicai, you will tell you the details."

Xi Zhicai got up and explained the situation in front of him and the situation of the enemy and me in detail, and then Liu Hanshao said: "Let's talk about it, what should we do?" ”

This is a military government, there is not a single civilian official, so there is almost no need to mobilize, everyone has agreed that it can only be fought, it must be fought!

Huangfu Song said: "Commander, for the sake of today's plan, we should quickly order the First Army to return to the division to ensure that Chang'an is safe, and send troops from Beijing to supplement Hedong." ”

Liu Hanshao asked suspiciously: "What does Zuo Tong mean that Zuo Fengyi, Right Fufeng, and Beidi may not be able to keep these places?" ”

Huangfu Song didn't dare to say that he couldn't keep it, but turned around and said: "Hu Numa is fast, go all the way south, in case it endangers Chang'an and disturbs the ancestral tomb, my generation will become a sinner." ”

Liu Hanshao sneered and asked, "You mean, these Hu Nu are very ambitious, and they still want to go to our ancestral tomb to have a look?" ”

Huangfu Song was noncommittal. Isn't that obvious? If you can't stop people, let alone go to Chang'an, even if you come to Luoyang, I'm afraid people will have no opinion.

Wei Qi hurriedly said: "Commander, there is our steel plant in Hedong, which has just begun to produce steel, so we must not afford to lose!" ”

This is true, but Hedong is Wei Qi's hometown, and he can't watch it be destroyed again.

Gai Xun said angrily: "Commander, I am willing to return to Xijing and defend Chang'an, and if the ancestral tomb is disturbed, I am willing to apologize." ”

The mood is understandable, but the old man is so old, and it is obviously inappropriate to go into battle in armor again. Besides, there are hundreds of thousands of people, if they really attack Chang'an together, what is the use of going to an extra old man?

Helpless, Liu Hanshao had to say again: "Zhicai, what do you think?" ”

"Show strength in Hedong, show weakness in Chang'an, delay time, tired Hunu."

Xi Zhicai looked around at everyone, saw that no one raised objections, and continued with a deep groan: "As Huangfu Zuotong said, Hu Nu is fast, from north to south, and a hundred miles a day is not a problem, so that the army can come to Chang'an in less than a month." As Quartermaster Wei said, there is our steel plant in Hedong, which is the top priority, and there must be no mistakes. If we order the First Army to quickly return to the division, secure Chang'an, and make Hu Nu hopeless, it is possible to storm Hedong, on the contrary, we quickly replenish Hedong and strongly block Hu Nu, causing Hu Nu to covet Chang'an and move south from Xihe and Shangjun to lengthen the battle line. Feng Yi on the left and Fufeng on the right are all vast and sparsely populated, even if Hu Nu loots, they can't get much supplies, Chang'an is a high wall, and Chen Ran's seventh brigade is stationed, so it will be able to delay for some time. When the Hunu people are sleepy and the cold winter is approaching, the First Army will fight a decisive battle with the Hunu north of Weishui, and they will have to pay the price they deserve! ”

"You also said that the walls of Chang'an are high and the city is strong, what if Hu Nu doesn't covet Chang'an?"

Liu Hanshao didn't hear Xi Zhicai's answer, and looked up to see the helplessness in his expression. In an instant, I realized that they didn't covet it, so let them plunder and retreat on their own. So, with a long sigh, he said, "It's too passive." ”

Xi Zhicai said helplessly: "Hu Nu horse is fast, come and go freely, our cavalry ......"

Without waiting for Xi Zhi to finish speaking, Lu Bu stood up suddenly, he didn't know whether it was the fire in his eyes, or the tears in his eyes, anyway, the circles under his eyes were red, no one looked at it, just roared angrily: "Lu Bu can fight!" Able to fight! Able to fight! ”

Everyone was stunned by Lu Bu's actions, but before everyone could react, Wu Kuang also got up and shouted: "Wu Kuang can fight, can fight, can fight!" ”

Immediately after, Cao Xing, the crossbow master, also stood up and shouted repeatedly.

These are the three top generals who have led the troops in Beijing so far, Hu Che'er's mountain regiment is not mature at present, not to mention that his level is not up to the level of sitting here for a meeting, even Lu Bu has already sat at the very end of the table.

Suddenly looking up to the sky and laughing, Liu Hanshao said loudly: "Have you seen it? This is our brother of Han Zhengjun, and it is my Liu Hanshao's soldier! A bunch of deflated calves who walk with their legs crossed also dare to come to our territory to spread wild, if we don't beat him with peach blossoms on his face, they don't know why the flowers are so red! ”

Belch...... Hu Nu was born to learn to ride horses, as if they were all a little bit of a loop, the commander's words are reliable, and they are even more uplifted. For a while, everyone felt less nervous, but high-spirited.

Liu Hanshao looked around at everyone, and said loudly: "Passive defense is not the character of our Han Zhengjun, no matter what time it is, we must take the initiative to attack, attack, and attack again!" ”

Not only did Lu Bu and the others seem to be ignited, but even Yan Dawa and Xu Chu, who were following Liu Hanshao, also shouted together: "Attack, attack, attack again!" ”

When everyone stopped, Liu Hanshao became the shopkeeper again, and asked instead: "Zhicai, my brother asked you, if you attract all the Hu Nu to Chang'an, do you have a way to keep them all?" ”

Xi Zhicai's head was black, and he said in his heart, it was two or three hundred thousand Hu slaves riding donkeys, and the troops we can mobilize are not as many as others, and there are not many horses, how can we say that we will stay if we stay? However, now that it is a meeting of the military government, no matter how bold Xi Zhicai is, he doesn't dare to talk nonsense, so he can only stare at the huge map of the Han Dynasty hanging on the wall behind Liu Hanshao, frowning.

Xu Chu couldn't help it, and said noisily: "Chief of Staff, you have something to say!" ”

Liu Hanshao lowered his voice and scolded: "Shut up! ”

Xi Zhicai raised his head suddenly, stared at Liu Hanshao and said, "Time! We need enough time! Changan! Chang'an needs to have enough to tempt Hu Nu to stop! ”

"Tell me more about it."

"The general plan remains the same, except that the First Army will not return to Chang'an, but will go north to Shangjun and Xihe. Hunu was in trouble at both times, and by the time the First Army arrived, they had already moved south. Lured to Chang'an, delayed until the cold winter, when Hu Nu ran out of food and grass, and wanted to return north, let's ...... again."

"Shut the door and hit the dog?"

"Yes!"

"It's not enough!"

Originally, Liu Hanshao and Xi Zhicai had a tacit understanding with each other, but as soon as Liu Hanshao said this, even Xi Zhicai was confused, and looked at Liu Hanshao suspiciously.

I only heard Liu Hanshao say again: "These deflated calves, if you want to come to our house, you can come to our house, and if you want to grab our food, you can grab our food, how can there be such a cheap thing?" Won't we go to their house? Burn his tent and rob his sheep, sleep with his mother-in-law and beat his baby! ”
