Chapter Seven: Shan Yu in Shanxi (I)

Zhao Ping is not a pure waste.

After all, he is also a literate person, and he has been a Taishou, a Jiuqing, the so-called Luoyang City Gate has seen flowers, Handan has a car outside the city, Xiangguo County has repaired a canal in the south, and Yunzhong County has escaped in the west...... Such a person, at least the perspective of seeing things is higher than that of ordinary people, and the intelligence they bring is naturally of some standard.

In fact, after Gongsun Xun thanked the local fathers, transferred the Pingcheng County Commander who took the initiative to open the city to Zhongshan, and listed an elderly person from birth as the Pingcheng Order, he was also directly blocked by Lou Gui, Tian Feng, and Xi Zhong in his own house in Pingcheng.

"So the enemies in front of the state are the Xiongnu and the Baibo bandits?" On the couch in the house, Gongsun Xun under the candlelight did not have much surprise after listening to the report. "How many people are there?"

"The Huns numbered about 100,000." Lou Gui replied in a deep voice. "White bandits seem to be more ......"

"The Huns are all against each other, and the whole state is in turmoil, but there are only 100,000 people?" Gongsun Xun frowned slightly, and actually felt that there were a few Huns who were in trouble.

"The main reason is that when the Xiongnu rebelled on that day, Yu Fuluo, the son of the former Shan Yu recognized by the court, and Hu Chuquan led the troops in Hedong by the order of the imperial court, preparing to deal with the white wave thieves." Xi Zhong hurriedly added. "So the military strength is divided, and there are still a few serious old kings stationed in the Xihe Royal Court, and the two do not help each other."

"I see." Gongsun Xun slowly bowed his head: "Where are Yu Fuluo and Hu Chuquan now?" They should have come back to fight for Shan Yu's position, right? ”

"Now in Shangdang, it is said that at the beginning he was going to ask General He to send a decree and seal ribbon with him, and then ask for reinforcements to come back and seize the throne, but where can he be controlled by the situation in the DPRK before? Let him wait in the Shangdang and Hedong generations......"

"Wait, wait, wait, wait until the world is in chaos." Gongsun Xun sneered. "Even the princes and scholars can divide the state and county, he is a noble race of the Huns that has lasted for hundreds of years, how can he not be ambitious? Zhang Yang can gain a foothold in the party, has his share of credit? ”

"And a credit to the White Wave Thief." Tian Feng replied in a deep voice. "After the turmoil in the past few months, the white wave thieves entrenched in Shangdang and Hedong repeatedly tried to attack Guanzhong, which was regarded as a big trouble by Dong Zhuo, so he sent his son-in-law Niu Fu to lead troops to Hedong to suppress it, and Zhang Yang was the first to raise the flag to fight Dong ...... that day."

"I understand!" Gongsun Xun nodded immediately. "That being the case, the enemies of this state are called two, but in fact there are three! One was crossing the Yellow River and invading Yanmen, Dingxiang, Yunzhong, and the 100,000 Hun rebels in the north of Taiyuan, whose leader was the false Shan Yugudu Marquis they themselves supported; One is the combined forces of Zhang Yang and Yu Fuluo, who are entrenched in the Shangdang; There is also a white wave thief led by Guo Tai and Yang Feng...... Right? ”

"Not bad." Tian Feng immediately responded.

"That's not right." Xi Zhong followed, but shook his head slightly.

Tian Feng's face moved slightly when he heard this, but he didn't refute it for a while, and Lou Gui was silent all the time.

"Yes." Gongsun Xun also suddenly came to his senses. "The state is in chaos, the order has collapsed, and most of Taiyuan is safeguarded, but Taiyuan Taishou Yang has never heard of anything extraordinary, that must be the Taiyuan clan's efforts, relying on the terrain to gather people to protect themselves, so that the white wave thieves and the Huns are powerless. Moreover, there are many Taiyuan clans, such as Yangqu Guo, Jinyang Wang, Qixian Wang, Yangyi Linghu, Qixian Wen, and Zhongdu Sun...... Just what I can think of directly, there are so many Taiyuan clans with 2,000 stones in the world? Since the three counties are to be annexed, Taiyuan, the heart of the three counties, must be dealt with well! ”

"The Taiyuan clans may not be enemies of the general, right?" Tian Feng asked helplessly. "Not to mention anything else, Wang Ze is still in the army, even if the general has the heart to clean up and subdue, he might as well slow it down first, because at this time, the military should be the first, first break the remaining three soldiers and horses, and then ask Dong Jinluo, and then talk about others."

"There's going to have to be some deterrence, too." Gongsun Xun turned his head to look at Tian Feng, rightly arrogant. "The terrain of Bingzhou is complicated, and the supply is difficult, and once Taiyuan enters the party, we will no longer have a channel to connect Youji, Yuan Hao, I ask you...... How can a husband entrust his life and death to others? ”

I don't know if Gongsun Xun is too reasonable, Tian Feng knows that he can't change the other party's mind, or if this is reasonable, anyway, Tian Yuanhao didn't argue.

"But that's the next step, the top priority is the Xiongnu rebels in the north." Gongsun Xun took the initiative to change back to the topic. "Zibo, Yuan Hao, Zhicai...... Do you have anything to teach me? ”

"I thought that the so-called 100,000 Huns were not only a big trouble, but they were not to be feared!" Lou Gui didn't give in, and directly got up and paced in the house. "It's just a lot of trouble."

"Tell me more."

"The heart is in great trouble, which means that the Huns are skilled in bows and horses, and their royal court is surrounded by big rivers on three sides, and there is a desert to protect them, which is extremely difficult to destroy, and this time they can only try their best to drive them back to Hexi." Lou Gui twisted and talked eloquently. "If you want long-term peace and stability, you also need to stabilize Guanzhong and the three counties of Bingzhou, and then the military and government can work together."

"This is the words of the country." Gongsun Xun thought of his understanding of the Huns when he was a Sima of other departments in Yanmen in the past, and he also agreed with it.

"And when it comes to lack of fear, it means that the Huns' combat power may not be terrible." Lou Gui continued. "I once asked Wei Zidu (Wei Yuezi), and he said that the Huns were not much different from Wuhuan and Xianbei, and even because they had lived in Han for a long time, they were slightly weaker in bow horses. And this time, the 100,000 people in the north are not elite horses, but those who have bows and horses in the clan can call themselves soldiers, and then connect the old and weak young people, and some miscellaneous and chaotic people, a total of 100,000...... This kind of military situation, even if the whole army can be gathered, in this Yanmen, although we only have 20,000 soldiers, we can still stand in front of the formation, and destroy its army in a battle. ”

"That's a good point." Gongsun Xun still affirmed the other party's judgment. "But the trouble is, they just can't get together...... Is that what it means? ”

"Just as the prince said." Lou Gui sighed. "100,000 people...... From Yunzhong to Dingxiang, from Yanmen to the north of Taiyuan, they are scattered everywhere and make a mess...... Even if they are fake, they may not be able to summon them. But if we drive away, how can we drive away 100,000 people with 20,000 soldiers and horses? It's just that they can drive away, let's go, what if they cross the river and invade Yanmen again? It takes a battle to kill and wound once to deter for several years. ”

"Don't you have any good ideas?" Gongsun Xun also frowned for a while.

Lou Gui, Tian Feng, and Xi Zhong were all embarrassed...... It's okay that Xi Zhong is good, he doesn't want to talk more about military affairs, and Lou Zibo and Tian Yuanhao are one of them who take military planning as their own responsibility, and the other has always been quite conceited.

"That's just as well." Gongsun Xun couldn't help laughing. "You are all new to Bingzhou, even Zibo was only stationed for a few days after returning from Danhan Mountain, if you really talk about the human geography and customs here, I know the most...... Where's that fake order? ”

"Dingxiang, Luo County (later Inner Mongolia Qingshuihe County left near)."

"I remember that there was General Ren Duliao in the imperial court before...... Who is it and where? ”

"Jia Cong Jia Gong, in the Yin Pavilion, but already dead."

"Who is the Yanmen Taishou?"

"Han Zhuo, Han Zizhu."

"What about the situation in Dingxiang?"

"The whole county is destroyed...... Taishou has not had anyone to perform his duties for more than half a year. ”

"Zhang Yi died in battle, Ding Yuan abandoned his defense, and Dong Zhuo did not come to take office." Gongsun Xun, who was already lying on the couch on his side, shook his head helplessly. "I came to ask Dong, but I want to clean up the troubles they caused for them......"

"That's why we can win over the hearts of the state." Xi Zhong couldn't help but interject. "Don't mention the military, you can use this as a name to call on Han Zhuo, the Taishou of Yanmen, and the county commanders and chiefs to take the initiative to meet the general."

"If you don't fight, how can you bring people together?" Gongsun Xun shook his head more and more. "In any case, Dingxiang County will govern Shanwu (Zuoyun and Youyu counties in later generations) to the east of Pingcheng, drive away the Gudu Hou, open up the road in the clouds, and then send a document to gather the governors of Yanmen, let them go to Shanwu to see me."

Lou Gui and the others had nothing to say.

On October 11, Gongsun Xun's expedition to the west was just 10 days, and the soldiers and horses under his command fought with the Xiongnu Hugh Tu tribes in Dingxiang Shanwu, and the unorganized and raided Xiongnu Hutu troops were almost defeated in a battle, and they fled south and westward, giving up Shanwu, and the Xiongnu pseudo-single Yu Xubu Gudu Marquis who was more than 100 miles west of Shanwu was in a panic for a while, like a bird with a frightened bow.

"Hold until the corpse chases the Hou Shan Yu in Fuluo, and Zhongping is established for five years. The people of the country who killed their father then set up the Marquis of Subu Bone as Shan Yu, and sued themselves in Fuluo Yique. Emperor Huiling collapsed, the world was in chaos, and Shan Yu joined thousands of horsemen and white wave thieves to invade the counties of Kou Hanoi. At that time, the people were all gathered, plundering was unprofitable, and the soldiers were bruised. If you want to return to the country, the people will not accept it, but you will stop at Hedong and the party. β€”Book of the Later Han Dynasty. Biography of the Southern Huns
