Chapter 133: Countermeasures
"Lord, Mr. Gongda now lives in Mr. Wenqing's mansion." Li Ru finished the work in his hand and mentioned Xun You's matter.
It is no secret that Chen Mo is interested in Xun You.
"Got it, it's fine as usual, don't arrange for someone to follow or imprison you." Chen Mo nodded, and then instructed, no one wants to be monitored, not to mention that a talent like Xun You looks too closely, which will make Xun You disgusted, judging from the contact in the past few days, Xun You is still relatively optimistic about himself, if he sends someone to follow and monitor, it may backfire.
"Don't worry, the lord knows." Li Ru nodded, today's Chen Mo is still attractive enough to talents, and even many ministers who opposed Chen Mo in the past are now gradually standing on Chen Mo's side, this is not only a matter of Chen Mo's charm, but also related interests, Chen Mo's attitude towards the family has always been to maintain the attraction and restrict at the same time, but at the same time, this restriction will also compensate for some other benefits, and gradually tie these families to themselves and become their own supporters.
In addition, Chen Mo's current power is enough to compete with Yuan Shao, so he can naturally attract the support of more families, and the Xun family should be no exception.
As far as Li Ru knows, the Xun family has Xun Yu in Cao Cao, Xun Chen in Yuan Shao, and although Chen Mo also has Xun Di and Xun Biao on his side, these two people are not as important as Xun Yu and Xun Chen in the Xun family, and their status on Chen Mo's side is not as good as Xun Yu and Xun Chen's status in Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.
With Chen Mo's current power, the Xun family should at least have a sufficiently important figure here, Xun Yu came just right, and there may not be no meaning of the Xun family.
Of course, these are just Li Ru's speculations, whether this is really the case, Li Ru is not sure, but now those big families are doing such things, Li Ru guesses that the Xun family will be like this.
"After the winter, Berning sent a letter, this year the Huns in the Yunzhong area are a little dishonest, but they were suppressed by Guo Yi, this new Hun new Shan Yu Luan Tihu Chuquan Wenyou can understand?" Chen Mo didn't care about Xun Yu's affairs anymore, every autumn and winter season, it was the most active time for the Huns and Xianbei, but the Huns were entrenched in the land of the Hetao, with abundant water and grass, it stands to reason that there should be nothing to look for, but recently the Huns began to attack the clouds, Chen Mo felt that something was not right.
"Hu Chuquan is the younger brother of Yu Fuluo, can the lord have an impression?" Li Ru nodded and replied.
"Naturally, this Yuvro was under my command for a while, and then he was gelding, and I heard that he served by the side of the Son of Heaven for a while?" Chen Mo nodded, for him, Yu Fuluo didn't look at it as the Southern Hun Shan Yu, but at that time, Shan Yu's position was taken away, and Yu Fuluo, who had a home and couldn't go back, was just a small person, mixed with the white wave thieves at that time, and the biggest contribution was probably only to provide Chen Mo with a group of Hun cavalry who were not afraid of death.
However, few of those Hun cavalry are dead now.
"What? This Chef Quan wants to avenge his brother? Chen Mo raised his eyebrows.
"I don't know if it's revenge, but according to the detailed report in the clouds, in the past two years, the Southern Xiongnu and Tuoba Xianbei have close contacts, and the son of Yu Luo wanted to lead the troops to plunder Guanzhong, but was repelled by General Huaxiong, General Hua chased all the way to Meiji, and recaptured tens of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses, the lord should remember, right?" Li Ru said with a smile.
Chen Mo nodded, last year, Huaxiong brought back tens of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses, which can be regarded as a big victory.
"After that, Huchuquan didn't dare to go south, so he began to move to the Yunzhong area, and had close contacts with the Tuoba Department." Li Rudao.
"The Tuoba Department is not too strong in the western Xianbei." Chen Mo has been to Yunzhong, and has also learned some things about the western Xianbei, and now among the western Xianbei, the more powerful ones are the Wulu Hui tribe, the patriarch is the Dou clan, and the Tuoba department ran to the vicinity of Yunzhong, obviously like the Huns, they plan to occupy a piece of land to recuperate.
However, the Southern Xiongnu were able to occupy the Hetao for so many years, because the Han court gave the land of the Hetao to the Southern Xiongnu, and the Southern Xiongnu were also attached to it, but it was not brought in.
"Send someone to figure out what they're going to do." Chen Mo frowned and said, whether it is the Huns or the Tuoba Department, Chen Mo doesn't care much, but if the two families join forces, they have to pay attention to it: "Xianbei's side, it's best to try to provoke its infighting." ”
The discipline of fighting is loose, and the combat power is also worrisome, but these grassland peoples are good at riding and shooting, and it is also a headache to come and go like the wind, after thinking about it, Chen Mo said again: "Send someone to tell Na Luan Tihu Chuquan, let him come back, this land of Hetao was given to them by the Han Dynasty, as long as they are willing to continue to be subject countries, no one will embarrass them." ”
"The lord wants to ......," Li Ru said uncertainly.
"If you get closer, if it's too far, it's too much food and grass, it's best to help them settle down, if you call Chuquan to be well-behaved, let him cultivate, if he dares to move, change to a single Yu." Chen Mo threw down the pen in his hand and frowned.
Now Chen Mo's main focus is on the Qiang people and Ma Teng and Han Sui, even if he really wants to move troops against the Xiongnu or Xianbei, it is impossible to have too much momentum, it is best to be able to fight quickly, so it is easier to get closer, appease first, and really do it.
"Whoa!" Li Ru nodded, this method is indeed good.
Soon after Hu Chuquan succeeded to the throne, he cleaned up a few times, and if his prestige was lost, it would be much easier for the Huns to deal with.
As for Xianbei's side, Chen Mo is indeed a little beyond the reach of the whip, if he can provoke Xianbei's infighting, he will not be able to come here to make trouble in a short period of time.
"It's a pity, it can be defeated but not destroyed!" Chen Mo had some regrets, Xianbei and Xiongnu were easy to defeat, but it was almost impossible to eliminate.
"This matter is not what the lord thinks alone." Li Ru relieved, from ancient times to the present, the border troubles have always existed, I don't know how many people want to completely exterminate the Hu people, as strong as Qin Shi Huang failed to completely eradicate the Huns, the Han Dynasty has been four hundred years, and the Xiongnu, Xianbei wars are also a lot, but at most it is only a big injury to its vitality, the Xiongnu decay, there is the rise of Xianbei, even if Xianbei is not able to fight now, there will be other ethnic rises, it is difficult for the Han to incorporate the grassland into the territory of the Han Dynasty, unless more Great Wall is built, the entire grassland is divided into pieces, But this is probably harder than exterminating the Hu people.
"Don't talk about that." Chen Mo nodded and said, "What is the situation in Xuzhou?" ”
"Liu Bei has begun to try to form an alliance with Yuan Shu, but it is not yet known whether it can be formed, but after Sun Ce got the title of General of the Han Dynasty, he has begun to prepare to attack Wu County, and the Taishou sent by Yuan Shu to Jiangdong has also been overtaken by Sun Ce. Li Ru sighed.
When Sun Ce and Liu Bei join forces, it will be difficult for Cao Cao to break through Xuzhou.
"Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou, I'm afraid it will be the time for Yuan Sun to fight." Chen Mo sighed and said, "Liu Bei is afraid that he won't be able to hold it." ”
The ideal state is naturally that Liu Bei and Yuan Shu join forces to block Cao Cao, but Chen Mo knows very well that this is very difficult, if Sun Ce and Yuan Shu officially start a war, will Liu Bei help Yuan Shu or Sun Ce? Or he has no time to intervene at all, Cao Cao will definitely take this opportunity to capture Xuzhou, whether Sun Ce replaces Yuan Shu, or Yuan Shu destroys Sun Ce, he will no longer be able to fight Cao Cao who occupies Xuzhou, and at that time, the three-legged situation in the Central Plains will be completely stable.
Chen Mo is deliberately interfering, I'm afraid I can't stop it, Cao Cao has already garrisoned troops in Chenliu and Xu County, and the prevention is that Chen Mo will send troops to attack and disturb his rear, and Chen Mo's side will also have to deal with Ma Han's affairs, I only hope that Liu Bei can hold out until Chen Mo destroys Ma Han, and when the time comes, Chen Mo can also send troops to Chen Liu and Yingchuan to contain Cao Cao and disperse some pressure for Liu Bei, I am afraid that Liu Bei will not be able to hold out at that time, and he will be destroyed by Cao Cao.
"My lord, if Lu Bu can send troops to harass Runan at this time, it may be more effective." Li Ru bowed and said.
Lu Bu?
After hearing this, Chen Mo thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "This can be a try, but ...... I heard that Lu Bu is recruiting talents everywhere in Nanyang, how is the recruitment? ”
"According to the report from Nanyang, there are many brave warriors who come to vote, including the Yellow Turban Yu Party." Li Ru said with a smile.
"Also, in the name of Wen Hou's bravery, it will indeed attract a lot of generals, but ......" Chen Mo nodded, a little funny: "I remember that he wants to recruit talents." ”
Chen Mo has read Lu Bu's list text, and the meaning is very clear, he hopes to recruit people of insight to help him manage Nanyang.
"The gentry of Nanyang, I'm afraid they don't want to be like-minded." Li Ru shook his head and said, not to mention that Lu Bu is actually equivalent to a Nanyang Taishou now, even when Dong Zhuoquan was in favor of the government and the opposition, he didn't see any scholars to vote, and most of those who were attached to Dong Zhuo had another purpose or even wanted to get close to Dong Zhuo and harm him, Cao Cao and Wang Yun were all like this, Chen Mo also took advantage of Dong Zhuo's momentum to make profits for himself, and now Lu Bu is recruiting talents, it is strange that someone can vote.
"But if he doesn't even have someone to help him with the rear, how can he have the ability to go to Cao Cao?" Chen Mo shook his head and sighed, "I'll help him!" ”
"The lord wants to send someone to help?" Li Ru was surprised.
"Would you like to go?" Chen Mo asked rhetorically.
"This ......" Li Ru was silent when he heard this, naturally he was unwilling, how comfortable he was in Chang'an, he didn't have much friendship with Lu Bu, even if there was, what kind of material Lu Bu was Li Ru knew very well, it was okay to fight, but if it was the lord, this person was not suitable, even if he was temporarily assisted, Li Ru was not too willing.
"No matter what you and Lu Bu say, you are also officials in the same dynasty, and you don't want to, let alone others?" Chen Mo shook his head and said, there are only a few strategists around Chen Mo who can take charge alone, Jia Xu, Li Ru, Xu Shu, and Man Chong, none of them are willing to let them go, Xun You has not worked now, so he asked the family to go to Lu Bu, which is tantamount to pushing Xun You out of the door, and he didn't do this.
"That lord means ......" Li Ru looked at Chen Mo with some uncertainty.
"You have a plan!"
