"What do you mean?"

Xun Chen didn't understand what Yuan Xi meant.

Even Yuan Shao personally ordered it, can he still disobey the order?

"The article I asked you to write earlier has already informed the people of the counties in Youzhou. The people all know that I am going to conquer Wuhuan. The people of Yuyang County are even more eagerly awaiting. If I give up at this time and let the people down, what faith do I have to say? ”

"What Childe said is extremely..."

Yuan Xilai took two steps back and forth: "Besides, I have declared war on Wuhuan, and Wuhuan will always pay attention to the counties of Youzhou." What if they come and attack once I have left with my army? ”

"Don't worry, Childe, Wuhuan won't attack." Xun Chen said with certainty.

"How do you know that Wuhuan won't attack?"

"Gongzi doesn't know, Wuhuan Shan Yu Dun, is Qiu Liju's subordinate, last year was given the title and seal of Shan Yu by the lord, allowing his tribe to garrison north of Yuyang. Because of this incident, the leaders of Wuhuan such as Nanlou, Su Muyan, and Wuyan were not convinced. It is to make many statements to the lord that he wants to serve the building class as a single one.... ”

"Tell me simply."

Yuan Xi was dizzy when he heard this.

Xun Chen said: "The meaning of lowly office is... Although he is expensive and is a Wuhuan Danyu, he cannot mobilize the Wuhuan army. And his tribe is far away in Wuhuan Mountain, north of Yuyang, and in western Liaoxi, with less than 10,000 horsemen, how can he invade Youzhou? ”

Regarding Wu Huan, Yuan Xi didn't know much.

But if he gave up the conquest of Wuhuan and went to Jizhou to listen to the survey, it would definitely not be possible.

Because the battle of Guandu in history ended with Yuan Shao's defeat, will he be able to turn the tide if he goes? If you don't have the ability to turn the tide, you will still follow Yuan Xi's old path.

It is better to take advantage of the Guandu War and develop well.

First recover the ten counties of Youzhou, enrich the people and strengthen the army, accumulate money, food, soldiers and horses, and wait for the battle of Guandu to have the strength to annex Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, and resist the great enemy Cao Cao who invaded Hebei.

"You write a memorabilia for me..."

Yuan Xi had already made up his mind, walked to the desk, spread out a bamboo slip and said, "I'll read it, and you will write it." ”

"Yes."

Xun Chen didn't know why, so he could only do what Yuan Xi ordered.

Yuan Xi was silent for a while, and said: "The Central Plains is the land of four wars, and there is the Ma clan in the west, and you can take both capitals. On both sides of the Jianghuai River, there are more Sun Xiaoxiong and Jingzhou Liu Biao, all of whom can be foreign aid.... ”

"The four states of Hebei have just been decided, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be rebuilt, and they can't be mobilized in a few years. And the state is more than too line, and the Black Mountain thieves are rampant. Of the ten counties in Youzhou, there are still four counties that are not attached, Xianbei, Wuhuan, and Gongsun Du, often with the heart of Nangu. Erchen was afraid of the unrest of the border, so he led an army of 100,000 to the northern expedition to Wuhuan. On the day of victory, he returned to Yecheng to ask his father for his sin. ”

Xun Chen finished writing, stood up, and said with a shocked face: "The lord wants to cut Cao?" ”

"You don't know until now?"

"That's a big deal. Childe really doesn't go to Wei County? ”

"Don't go!"

Yuan Xi walked to the landing platform, picked up his saber, and said, "Send someone to send the song to Yecheng." After I defeat Wu Huan, destroy Gongsun Du, and recover the four counties of Youbei, I will go to Yecheng to ask for guilt. ”

"No."

Xun Chen did not dare to disobey Yuan Xi's order, and sent someone to send him away.

But he couldn't figure it out, why didn't Yuan Xi go to Wei County? Cutting Cao is a good opportunity to establish a great achievement, there is no Wuhuan as a disaster, and there are gods and elephants, colorful tigers to help, why not establish a great achievement?

said that he didn't want to disappoint the people, but in Xun Chen's opinion, the reason was too far-fetched.

It's past noon.

Yuan Xi worshiped heaven and earth and ancestors in the north school field, and led the army to march.

The accompanying generals He Mao, Jiao Touch, and Cui Yan joined the army.

A four-meter-tall mammoth walked at the front of the queue, carrying a dozen iron balls. Behind are the colorful tigers, Yuan Xi's car and personal guards. Follow the streets of the North Side, all the way north.

and arrived at the gates of the city.

Yuan Xi only found that the mammoth's body was too big to pass. Then he let people demolish a section of the city wall, and ordered Xun Chen to rebuild it.

In the process of demolishing the wall...

The people stood in the streets, pointing at the mammoths and talking. Some say it's a man-eating monster, while others say it's a beast in the mountains. Although I was curious, I didn't dare to look closely.

In order to set the record straight, Yuan Xi sent a group of people to mix among the people and pass on the story of the gods.

In less than two quarters of an hour, the superstitious people knelt in the streets, kowtowing to the mammoths, all of whom said that the divine beasts had descended to earth to save the people. also raised Yuan Xi's prestige by the way.

Late May.

Wu Huan Shan received Yuan Xi's war letter from Yu Dun.

The war book is very clear, order Wuhuan to retreat to Wuhuan Mountain, give up Liaoxi and Xuansu, and return the captured Han people, money and grain, and compensate the losses of the local people, otherwise, they will not hesitate to fight.

Receiving such a battle report, I was furious!

When he occupied Liaoxi and Xuansu, he indirectly supported Yuan Shao's campaign against Gongsun Zhan, and after Gongsun Zhan was defeated, he surrendered to Yuan Shao and was given the title of Wuhuan Shan Yu.

I thought Yuan Shao was a big tree, but I could take the opportunity to recuperate, but I didn't expect that after only a few months, he was about to turn his face.

Badun tore up the battle book and roared angrily: "Order the leaders of all tribes to assemble in Liaoxi and prepare to meet the enemy!" ”

"Respected Shan Yu, the soldiers and horses of the Three Kings tribe, were invited by Xianbei to resist the Xiongnu. No matter how anxious you are, you have to wait for them to come back before you can prepare for battle. Yan Rou, the military advisor of Badun, said.

He immediately thought about it, and then said in a panic: "Yes, they went to defend against the Xiongnu, there are less than 10,000 defenders in Liaoxi, how to resist Yuan Xi's soldiers and horses?" ”

Yan Rou said: "Please forgive me for speaking bluntly. Even if the leaders such as Nanlou, Su Muyan, and Wuyan did not defend against the Xiongnu, could Shan Yu be able to mobilize them? The soldiers and horses of the Three Kings tribe have never really succumbed to Shan Yu! ”

"Then you say... What now?! ”

Bunton is a brave and unscrupulous man, who can fight wars and knows nothing about politics.

Yan Rou smiled and said, "I suggest that Shan Yu don't fight with Yuan Xi. You should win him over and secure your position. Shan Yu should know that if it weren't for the big tree of the Yuan family, Nanlou and Su Fuyan would have started a war with you a long time ago. ”

"I know that." With a sad look on his face, he said with some annoyance: "But that kid Yuan Xi wants me to return Liaoxi and Xuansuo." That's too much, isn't it? ”

Yan Rou hugged his fists and said: "I am willing to bring a heavy gift to Yuyang to resolve this fight." As long as Shan Yu promised to form a volunteer army, he promised that Yuan Xi would not ask for Liaoxi and Xuansu again. ”

Volunteer in the army?

For these three words, Badun is no stranger.

At that time, the White Horse Yicong formed by Gongsun Zhan was a team of Hu people who were good at riding and shooting, and they fought bravely and came and went like the wind, which made Wuhuan suffer a big loss.

To put it bluntly, it is to use alien races to govern aliens.

Is it worth it to form a righteous army and obey Yuan Xi's dispatch in order to obtain a place to live and live?

After thinking about it for a while, although he was unwilling, for the sake of the overall situation, he still responded: "You go and do it..." ”

"Yes."

Yan Rou retired.

He prepared a generous gift and went to Yuyang, the seat of Yuyang County.

wanted to follow the example of Li Sheng and persuade Yuan Xi to withdraw from the army with his three-inch tongue.
