Jingshi Luoyang, Cao Cao held a pen, on which there was a lot of paper he bought, he didn't know what to write, there were a lot of dynamics in Jingshi, Cao Cao felt that any changes he made had suffered a big setback, he felt very depressed, and he even didn't want to continue to stay in Jingshi Luoyang.

However, the situation is that he cannot leave, and if he does, the whole situation may become difficult to control.

The general He Jin listened to Yuan Shao's words and actively co-opted local military forces. For example, a military general like Dong Zhuo. At the same time, Ding Yuan was given a greater degree of support, which was used to fight against the Xiyuan New Army controlled by the eunuch group, which was also the most favorable situation that a foreign relative group like the Great General Group could control.

Cao Cao felt that the situation was a little chaotic, and even, he felt that Yuan Shao's suggestion might make the current weak situation of the entire imperial court even more chaotic. Maybe the whole situation will get completely out of control. Cao Cao was worried that this situation would continue.

The imperial court announced the edict of Han Sui, because this practice could greatly avoid greater military, money and food consumption. However, fundamentally speaking, the Xiliang rebels were not completely eliminated, but instead existed as a local warlord force, because the imperial court could not destroy the other party in a relatively short period of time.

On the contrary, the military operations of the Republican Army in Hexi made the imperial court even more fearful. Because as long as they gain a foothold in Hexi, they will expand again, and although the Republican army declares that they will continue to attack north, they will enter Guanzhong as long as they develop a little south. The imperial court was very troubled by this, and Dong Zhuo was ordered to defend the border between Guanzhong and Hexi.

And the general is also extremely courting Dong Zhuo. He also greatly appreciated Dong Zhuo's intention to take refuge, which made Dong Zhuo's local military generals find someone in the imperial court, which was of greater help to his next promotion.

As for the Republican Army, the court unanimously believed that the Republican Army was the greatest scourge, and they not only wanted to expel the Republican Army from Hexi, but even they wanted to attack the Republican Army again in Hedong. Such a call is loud. Especially the eunuch group, they have the appearance of a big fight.

This made Cao Cao very disgusted, because the republican army attacked the place of the Huns, for the stability of the Han people, and those people actually wanted to cooperate with the Huns to attack the republican army in Hexi and Hedong.

"Brother Shangwu, you are doing such a thing for the sake of the national righteousness, although you can't support it vigorously, but you must also be careful about the changes in the situation in the court, and you can't damage the foundation." Cao Cao wrote carefully. Shang Wu can have a certain understanding of classical Chinese, but it is too profound, or too long, and sometimes Jia Xu needs to translate, Cao Cao simply writes in vernacular, so that Shang Wu can understand what is going on.

Cao Cao believed that when the republican army was fighting against the north, the imperial court should show its own bearing and support the republican army in fighting against the Huns, after all, this was a national contradiction. In the face of righteousness, the imperial court should adhere to some specific practices of its own. At the same time, Cao Cao affirmed the military action of attacking the Xiongnu in the north, believing that it was a due contribution to the civilization of the Han people.

However, he wrote in his letter that he suggested that Shangwu should not squeeze the Huns too much, and should do the situation of accepting when he sees a good situation, so that their situation can become better, because step by step, after all, most of the Han people in the south are infantry, and the advantage against cavalry is not very large, so he hopes to be able to stabilize his foothold, step by step, and not to pursue speed too much.

Cao Cao and Shangwu still have the same opinion on this point, and they both think that they should not squeeze each other too much.

In the letter, Cao Cao also wrote some of his recent trivial matters, such as the various setbacks encountered in military reform, which made Cao Cao himself feel very troubled. He hoped that Shang Wu would come up with some valuable suggestions. The letter was written for a long time, and then Cao Cao carefully sealed it. Let your men personally deliver them to the Republican Army.

Li Jiazhuang, War Department.

"We should pay attention to the conflict in the south, that is, the border area between us and the imperial court." Jia Xu said.

"When we fight in the north, we must not let the imperial court have some situation in our south, although there are eunuchs to provide intelligence, as well as some support, our situation will also deter them, but we must prevent accidents, once there is a big accident, the result of our situation will be very unfavorable." Jia Xu said.

"Well, we really should be so prepared, otherwise, if there is such a turmoil, it will be a big trouble for us." Shang Wu said.

"In this regard, my thinking is this: first, hold several small and medium-scale military exercises at the border, first, to carry out a troop build-up so that the other side does not know the deployment of our troops, and second, to deter them and let them know that we are ready at the border. If they dare to come, we will unceremoniously fight back against them. Shang Wu said.

"Agreed." Jia Xu said.

"The second is that the border should be patrolled to prevent the other side from infiltrating all at once, otherwise, our situation will be very troublesome. This kind of thing is a very bad thing for us, and we must not let this happen. Shang Wu said.

"In the end, we have to resolutely fight back against some conflicts, we have always been, people don't offend me, I don't offend people, but if they must have a conflict, I'm sorry, we have to resolutely fight back, let them see our determination, let them know our strength." Shang Wu said.

"Well, I agree with that, but I think that in each defensive area, there should be a corresponding reserve, this reserve only needs the strength of a regiment or a brigade, after all, the scale of the conflict may not be too large, we give a local reserve the right to move, so that if they have any military action, we can counterattack at any time." Jia Xu suggested.

"That's a good suggestion, we can put it into practice." Shang Wu agreed. They want to fight back against decentralization at the local level. We can't just tolerate it, because in this case, it is easy for big problems to arise, and the situation will suddenly become very chaotic. With such adjustments, this can be avoided. After all, in the face of possible provocations, they still have to make great preparations, otherwise, they will be in a passive situation if they deal with it all at once.

The situation between the imperial court and the republican army is very delicate, and both sides have their own bottom lines, and it is very important to control such bottom lines.

Taiyuan County. Jie Hugh.

Pei Yuanshao had arrived here with an infantry regiment, and their marching speed had slowed down a lot, the main purpose was to maintain the physical strength of the soldiers. At the same time, they entered an unfamiliar combat environment, without intelligence support, it is easy to be attacked, in such a situation, it is better to be careful, when Pei Yuanshao came, Zhou Cang continued to admonish him, let him be careful and careful, because the republican army can meet his troops is extremely limited, most of the main force is fighting in the land west of the river, which is the area of the Huns, and Taiyuan County, can occasionally provide support, it is very little. Everything depends on Pei Yuanshao.

Pei Yuanshao also knew this, so along the way, his scouts were scattered very large.

"Oh no. Sir. A scout came running in a panic, his horses were out of breath, and only special scouts were rationed some horses, but they weren't too good horses. Just a little faster than they do.

"Fuck, don't panic, say." Pei Yuanshao was resting, and the soldiers were all sitting on the ground resting, and some of them took a sip of water to relieve their fatigue.

"Sir, there are two groups of cavalry in front, and the Hun cavalry in the back, there are about three hundred people, and the cavalry in front is less, less than thirty horsemen. It looks very bad. The Scout said.

"Yes, enter the state of combat on both sides, all are well concealed, and ready to fight quickly." Pei Yuanshao shouted loudly, their cavalry was as far away as forty miles, and the speed of their horses was not very fast, after receiving such news, the other party might have shrunk to less than twenty miles. In this way, they simply don't have time to set it up well.

"Whoa." After the officer heard the order, he immediately entered the combat position quickly according to the infantry company, and the staff officer would immediately arrange the operation, ambush, blockade, and reserve, all of which would be carried out according to a certain predetermined plan, which was the advantage of the staff officer, and many detailed plans did not need to be ordered by Pei Yuanshao himself. They themselves are quickly unfolding according to the design plan.

The soldiers quickly entered both sides of the road. Some units also made simple camouflage. In this case, it will be difficult for the other party to be detected.

Pei Yuanshao felt that this was a deal that was sent. What they are good at is ambushing, which is a sure-fire deal. Not only that, but they can also eat more than 300 cavalry of the other party at once, in this case, Pei Yuanshao may be able to establish a cavalry company. He was too short of horses. Send it to the door, is there a reason not to want it? It's just a joke.

Their side had just entered the battle mode when the sound of horses' hooves was heard not far away. It seems that a battle cannot be avoided. Many soldiers excitedly held their weapons in their hands.
