"Subordinates, see the lord!"

Gongsun Du originally had a smile on his face, because he hadn't seen Wei You for a few days, but Wei You's serious face made him not change color, but he gradually restrained his smile and said, "Please get up!" ”

"Thank you, lord!"

Wei Yu responded, and without waiting for Gongsun Du to speak again, he hurriedly said: "Lord, something is wrong!" ”

"Huh?" Gongsun Du was shocked in his heart, but his face was not chaotic at all, but the smile completely disappeared on his face.

"Don't be in a hurry, speak slowly, no matter what happens, the most important thing is to be calm, only calm can find a solution."

"What the lord said is very true."

Wei Yu bowed and saluted again, but the seriousness on his face did not decrease in the slightest, but there was a hint of relaxation. Gongsun Du's calmness made him feel very relieved.

"Lord Qi, there is news from the Liao team, and there are signs that the Xianbei people in Changli County are about to evacuate again." As soon as Wei You sat down, he spoke.

Gongsun Du's face was full of puzzlement when he heard this, and said, "Why are they leaving?" ”

Wei You shook his head and said, "I don't know, maybe it's to concentrate more strength, or maybe it's just for us to take it lightly." But either way, it's not good news for us. ”

Gongsun Du was stunned at first, and then fell into deep thought.

Yes, in addition to contracting power, it is to set them up.

In the former, Xianbei has occupied Liaodong, Xuansu and other counties, and now if he wants to give up Changli County, he can be used as a buffer zone, so that he does not dare to use troops easily; Second, there are at least 15,000 more soldiers available than in the original history, fifteen thousand horsemen to be exact.

This number of cavalry is definitely a huge force for Han Ting, and it is definitely not a problem to occupy three or two counties again.

The latter, if it is just to lure him to lead his troops to attack, then it is fine, as long as the troops are not moving, but who is Tanshi Huai? How could such a simple arrangement be made, there must be another backhand, that is, he took the initiative to attack, which is very different from the previous speculation.

Last year, Gongsun Du once told everyone that Xianbei's current main energy will inevitably be put on the imperial court, and he has no time to take care of them. They have enough time to develop, and of course he also has such self-confidence, especially after Cheng Pu brought back tens of thousands of people from Donglai a few months ago, his confidence is even stronger.

As long as there are three or five years, he is confident that he will increase the number of people in Liaodong by at least 100,000, or even 300,000, what does this mean? It means that there are enough soldiers.

But now Xianbei has the possibility of coming to attack, Gongsun Du can't guarantee that he can stop it, let alone guarantee that the imperial court will involve the main energy of Tanshihuai, once it can't, Liaodong is in danger!

Call~

Gongsun Du let out a sigh of relief and said, "Qingping, what do you think we should do now?" ”

Wei You shook his head and sighed: "I have disappointed the lord, and there is no good way for my subordinates, but to respond to all changes with no change." ”

Although it was disappointing, Gongsun Du didn't blame him, just nodded and said: "Well, this is the only way to do, and the order is to all cities to strengthen their vigilance, but if there is any trouble, come and report it immediately." ”

"Yes, my lord."

Wei You came and went fast.

But for some reason, Gongsun Du always felt that this matter was not so simple, maybe it was just the beginning.

In order to prevent accidents, Gongsun Du specially sent an order to the two Netherworld members in Changli, asking them to pay close attention to the actions of Changli and other cities, and not let go of the slightest.

Sure enough, within a few days, the news that came back surprised Gongsun Du.

"Huh! This is really a silent thunder on the ground, which will directly frighten people in the spring! ”

Gongsun Du looked at the piece of paper in his hand and could only shake his head helplessly.

"The subordinates were ordered to go to Bintu, Tuhe, Fangxian, and Xiandu counties to investigate, however, the four counties did not know when, the Xianbei people had all evacuated, and only a few old and weak remained, so the two subordinates quickly returned to Changli and Fuli. However, the Xianbei of these two cities also began to evacuate, whether the two subordinates should follow at this time, please also ask the lord to decide! ”

Clear!

It was telling Gongsun Du that they might have been exposed, but they didn't dare to make a decision.

Gongsun Du ignored this stubble, but remembered Cao Cao.

At that time, Cao Cao wanted to take Hanzhong, but Zhuge Liang took it first, and when the soldiers retreated to the valley, Cao Cao was in a dilemma, and the kitchen sent chicken soup. Cao Cao saw that there were chicken ribs in the bowl, so he felt nostalgic, and at this time, Xiahou asked for the night password, so he casually replied to the word "chicken ribs". So Xiahoudun spread the word to the whole army, and they were all called "chicken ribs".

Later, Yang Xiu learned about it, so he asked people to pack up and prepare to turn around......

Now, Changli is like a "chicken rib" to him.

It will do no good except a few more cities. On the contrary, it makes the troops more dispersed, which is not conducive to defense, and even more, because Changli County has almost been ransacked, it is impossible to provide grain and grass and other materials for the defenders, so it can only be transported from Liaodong. However, in this way, it will inevitably make the consumption of military rations heavier, which will be greatly disadvantageous to logistics.

"Sandalwood locust! A great bad conscience! ”

"It's so bad that it doesn't drop!"

Gongsun Du couldn't help but scold.

"Report, lord, Wei Juncheng and Micang Cao have arrived." The soldiers outside the door felt a little embarrassed, but still reminded loudly.

Gongsun Du didn't feel anything wrong at all, and responded angrily: "Let them in!" ”

"Subordinates, see the lord." Wei You and Mi Zhu bowed down together.

"Hmm!" Gongsun Du's anger did not subside, but he would not use his subordinates as a punching bag, and said, "Get up!" All sit! ”

"Thank you, lord!"

The two got up and sat down.

"Okay, I'm calling you, it'......"

Gongsun Du immediately recounted the news he received, and then asked, "What do you think?" ”

The two did not reply immediately, but lowered their heads and thought about it, and Gongsun Du didn't care, but also thought about it.

Long.

Mi Zhu was the first to speak: "My lord, my subordinates think that no matter what Xianbei plans, we should not let them become easy, and even bring them enough trouble when necessary." ”

Gongsun Du pondered for a while and felt that this was very reasonable, after all, he and Xianbei were not much different if they didn't talk about it now, but they still didn't have a clue what to do.

"Tell me what you think."

Mi Zhu took a deep breath and said: "My subordinates feel that no matter what Xianbei wants to do, we should take over the two cities that are close to each other, whether it is to have more places to settle the people from Zhongyuan in the future, or whether it can be like two without much effort, it should be like this." ”

"Moreover, after the subordinates have calculated, if they only take the two nearby cities, the additional grain and grass consumed is actually very small, at most it is only an increase of one percent."

Wei You agreed: "My lord, my subordinates think that what Micang Cao said is extremely true, not only can he get two cities for nothing, but also because these two cities are only hundreds of miles away from Liaodong, the amount of grain and grass consumed is not much, and it can also be used as the outer barrier of Liaodong in the direction of Changli." ”

Gongsun Du couldn't help but nod when he heard this, and said, "Well, then let's do it!" ”

Then he said, "Who do you think you should send to take over these two cities?" ”

Mi Zhu didn't reply, but looked at Wei You.

Wei You did not shirk, and immediately said: "The subordinates suggested that Huang Duwei should be the main one, and the new generals Beiyan and Lunzhi should be the deputies. If it is successfully taken over, Huang Duwei will be left in a city, and one of the two people will be selected from Beiyan and Lunzhi to assist, and the other person will move to Gaoguryi to wait for Xu Duwei's dispatch to make up for the loss of Huang Duwei's departure. ”

Gongsun Du hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Well, that's very good." If it is successfully taken, leave Beiyan to guard these two cities with Huang Zhong! ”

"Yes, my lord."

Wei You also suggested: "As Micang Cao said, no matter what Xianbei wants to do, we had better make a stumbling block for them." Therefore, his subordinates suggested that the lord find a way to spread the news that Xianbei wanted to go south again to the ears of the imperial court, and also increase the surveillance of Xianbei. ”

Gongsun Du nodded and said, "Well, okay, this matter is settled." ”

The plan was decided, and it didn't take long for Huang Zhong to receive an order to lead the newly arrived Beiyan and Lunzhi to move to the second city of Changli County near the left.

Xianbei withdrew very cleanly, because the process was very smooth, Huang Zhong left 2,000 men and horses to stay in the dangerous city closer to Liaoyang, and Beiyan led 3,000 people to garrison Fang County as Qu Chang.
