In all fairness, the situation in Youzhou is not too bad.

First, the arrangements made before leaving worked, Cheng Pu was in Yuyang, Gongsun Fan was in Zhuo County, and Lu Fan was in Guangyang.

Second, it is natural that Cheng Pu and Gao Shun have won successive battles, regardless of their deep-seated economic reasons, what destiny ambitions, and national contradictions, war is certainly a continuation of the so-called politics, but it is also the ultimate solution to political contradictions...... Having won the battle, it is easy to say anything.

However, those who are really familiar with Gongsun Xun understand that under the bland performance of this Wei general, there is still a kind of anger that is most outgoing...... Because it was probably the first time in his life that he had been betrayed so directly and so simply.

Just imagine, if it weren't for trust, how could Gongsun Xun hand over Chengde, such an important node outside the Saihu, to the Mohu Ministry?

Or conversely, everything in the Mohu Department today, except for the Chengde City, which was built by Gongsun Xun to mobilize the people's and financial resources of the three counties, the expansion of the Mohu Department itself in the past ten years has also relied on the Amway from an economic point of view, and from a political and military point of view, it has also relied on the protection of his Gongsun Xun......

For a long time, Gongsun Xun has regarded Mohu as a domestic slave and a hunting dog raised by his own family, and Mo Huyun has also expressed his stance to Gongsun Xun, and the people of Youzhou also see it this way. But now, it is this hound used to guard the door, but it actually takes the gate he defends for himself, and may even open the door to steal...... Is it tolerable or unbearable?!

"What is the prince going to do with Mo Huqi?"

The next day, everyone went on the road again, because the spring ploughing was busy on all sides, and the population here was very dense, and Gongsun Xun and his party were at home in the end, so they couldn't help but slow down, and after hesitating again and again, Xi Zhong couldn't help but ask more. "If he comes, will he be punished by the canon?"

"If so, wouldn't it be a breach of trust?" Gongsun Xun, who was riding a horse and walking slowly, was expressionless and shook his head and replied. "If he comes, he will be detained in Changping, and he will be put on the throne by the donkey or his minor son, and he will be supervised ...... Chengde."

"If this is the case, then Mo Huqi will definitely not come." Xi Zhong immediately responded, in fact, he was waiting for this sentence. "Junhou, I thought a lot after I went back yesterday...... Mo Huqi has been following you since more than ten years ago, and he must know the character of the prince, and he must also understand the attitude of the prince at this time, so when he heard that the prince was back, he was afraid but did not dare to go to Changping easily, and he had to plan early. ”

Xi Zhicai's words were obviously to persuade his father-in-law not to act rashly, but Gongsun Xun avoided answering, not only that, but Lou Gui and Han Dang next to him were also silent.

Of course, Xi Zhong himself also understood that Gongsun Xun was already angry to a certain extent, and his words were meaningless at this time...... But since learning that there was an accident in Youzhou, as the first person among the strategists to indulge Gongsun Xun out of Youzhou, Xi Zhong has always blamed himself, so even if he knew that it didn't have much effect, he still had to say it.

In this way, everyone was subject to Gongsun Xun's emotions, so they could only keep silent all the way, but after a few days, as everyone finally returned to General Wei's Mansion at the foot of Changping Python Mountain, and saw Lu Fan, Wang Xiu, and Cheng Pu and others who arrived in a hurry, there were things that could not be avoided.

For example, that's what the joke said...... Mo Huqi personally wrote a letter with extremely despicable words, but he still did not come to Changping to pay homage to Sun Xun.

In fact, according to the Tanmalay newspaper, it was said that Mo Huqi himself once came to the border wall under the Yanshan Mountain Range, and his people hesitated again and again, but after all, they wrote this letter under the Yanshan Mountain, and then turned around and returned to Chengde.

"Prince." After Gongsun Xun sat down in the lobby of General Wei's mansion, Lu Fan immediately presented the letter.

And Gongsun Xun took the letter, although his face was still as usual, but he didn't look at it and tore up the letter in public, but let everyone sit down on the spot amicably, and then immediately convened a military meeting...... The meaning of killing is self-evident.

"Since Demou is monitoring Chengde in Yuyang, who is in Lulongsai to defend him?" Gongsun Xun got straight to the point, didn't stop for a moment, and directly asked Cheng Pu about the military deployment.

Seeing Gongsun Xun behaving like this, Lu Fan and Wang Xiu were as quiet as a puppet, let alone Cheng Pu? When he heard this, he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately got up to answer.

"Just sit and talk." Gongsun Xun asked Cheng Pu to sit back immediately.

"Wait for you." Cheng Pu hurriedly sat back, and then answered. "Lu Longsai's office is Gao Suqing's more than 1,000 elites led by his department, plus 1,000 county soldiers and 1,000 people sent by the joint efforts of the two counties of Liaoxi and Youbeiping behind him...... A total of 3,000 people. ”

"I am relieved to have Suqing in Lulongse." Gongsun Xun heard that Gao Shun was in each other, so he naturally nodded slowly. "Then how many soldiers and horses do you have in Yuyang now?"

"At the most time a year ago, in addition to my headquarters, the county soldiers, the children of the big clans of the counties, and the sons of the good families all had assistance, as well as the 20,000 soldiers sent by Lu Changshi, totaling more than 30,000 people...... However, after the stalemate, most of the soldiers and horses have been disbanded and returned to spring ploughing, plus Gao Suqing went to Lulongsai, and I have only more than 4,000 people there. ”

"Four thousand?" Gongsun Xun frowned for a moment.

"There are also 2,000 people who protect the captain of Wuhuan, Gong Qichou, who arrived in a hurry from Daijun after the war, and now they are stationed in Youbeiping, and if the prince does not come back, his people will naturally not obey our orders, but since the prince has returned, the soldiers and horses there will inevitably obey the order." Cheng Pu hurriedly and respectfully added a situation.

"That's six thousand." Gongsun Xun was still frowning. "In the final analysis, it's still spring ploughing, so it's not good to make a big move...... Isn't it? ”

"Yes." Lu Fan reluctantly took the initiative to respond. "But after the spring ploughing, if the local government cooperates, Guangyang, Zhuojun, Yuyang, Youbeiping, Liaoxi, and all kinds of forests are added together, and we can immediately mobilize tens of thousands of troops......

"How many rebels are there?" The time is indissolvable, and Gongsun Xun immediately gave up this unsolvable problem.

"It's hard to say." Cheng Pu replied seriously. "Although Liaoxi Wuhuan has been defeated three times, but it is between the cities of the Senei, and it is only a wound of flesh and skin, if it is poured out near their foundation outside the Saiwai, there must still be twenty or thirty thousand cavalry, but it is impossible to have only so many ......"

"Saiwai Zahu is known as a hundred tribes, of course, there can't be only so many." Gongsun Xun said disapprehantly. "But when the time comes for a decisive battle, these people won't really go up and fight hard...... Don't count them. ”

"Even if you don't count these wall grasses, you must also guard against Liaodong Wuhuan." As the chief general who stayed in the local area, Cheng Pu was naturally prepared. "The road has been cut off for so long, nothing else, I don't believe that Su Fuyan, the leader of Wuhuan in Liaodong, was not persuaded by Qiu Liju, and Su Fuyan should also have five or six thousand cavalry in his hands. However, when it comes to military strength, the key lies in Xianbei...... Kebi can gradually unify the situation of Xianbei in the central and eastern parts of the past, and if he does not have 30,000 horsemen in his hands, it is called self-deception. ”

"Is this what it means to have an army of sixty or seventy thousand cavalry?" Gongsun Xun couldn't help laughing when he heard this. "I grew up in western Liaoning since I was a child, but I didn't know that there were so many alien soldiers and horses on my side, even the former sandalwood acacia, and it was impossible to gather such a crowd directly, right? Or is it that the Wuhuan people are so strong, once they rebel, they will overturn the situation in Youzhou? ”

"Not really." Lou Gui, who had been silent, finally interjected. "First, the terrain outside the Saiwai is complicated, especially near the left of the Liaoxi Passage, there are many mountains and rivers, it is impossible to really support so effectively, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses can be assembled if they are assembled, it is even more foolish to dream; Second, the tribal alliance of the other generation is not even of the same clan as each other, and the leaders naturally have ghosts and distrust each other, and comparing the previous situation of the Xiliang rebels is the face of Han Wenyue; In the end, whether it is the Wuhuan people or the Xianbei people, the poor can't even afford to buy a pot, how can they hold up the logistics of tens of thousands of troops for a long time? Those who are worried about this war ......"

"Those who are worried about it are actually those cities outside the Saiwai." Gongsun Xun said. "Especially the three cities of Chengde, Guanzicheng and Liucheng...... If the three cities are down, not only will the passage be reconnected, but the Wuhuan of Liaoxi will also be re-locked, and the rebellion will be quelled! Is that what Zibo meant? ”

"Yes!" Lou Gui bowed slightly during the banquet. "But the problem now is that the three cities are all outside the fortress, such as Guanzi City is two hundred miles away from the fortress, the road is far away, and it needs to be attacked for a long distance; Another example is that the city of Chengde is sandwiched between mountains, the city is difficult and dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack; And Liucheng is not only strong, but also 300 miles north of Guanzi City...... If these three cities cannot be brought down in a single battle, once they delay for a long time, it will be tantamount to holding a torch in the middle of the night, attracting many traitors from outside the city to gather in one place, and we will be in vain. ”

Cheng Pu and the others immediately bowed their heads...... This is the specific difficulty of counterinsurgency.

"So what should I do?" Gongsun Xun was silent for a long time, and finally defeated the youth training with reason, barely suppressed his anger, and turned to Lou Gui Zhengse to ask about the counterinsurgency strategy. "Uncle Zi has a perfect strategy."

"It's simple." Lou Gui bowed again and replied. "Please be calm and don't be impatient, after the 20th, the busy spring day is over, we will send 40,000 soldiers, 10,000 to Captain Cheng, let him stand at the north pass of Yuyang, watch Chengde, and then the prince will personally lead the army to Lulongsai, so that Gao Sima will lead 10,000 of the soldiers out of the fortress to attack Guanzi City...... After the Junhou garrison, the Chengde passage was watched again, and the Wuhuan people alone did not dare to easily fight with the Junhou under the Guanzi City, so the Guanzi City could be easily ...... This is the first step. ”

"And Guanzi City is under it, the prince might as well let Gao Sima hold Guanzi City, and then you yourself will personally lead the army from outside the Saiwai to Chengde, and attack Chengde on both sides, whether it is a battle or a Mohu Department to surrender on its own initiative, Chengde City can also calmly return to my hands! That's the second step. ”

"And once there is Chengde City and Guanzi City as the fulcrum behind them, the prince can raise a large army, and send a letter to the counties outside the Saiwai, as well as the old lady of Liaodong, asking them to send troops from the Liaohe River to the west, and you will send troops from the Liaoxi Passage to the west, and the two roads will go out together, and go to Liucheng openly...... At that time, the Wuhuan people will either summon Xianbei reinforcements to fight to the death under the city, or they can only sit on the city and lose the city, and then let us wait for it. ”

"Uncle Zi, this is a foolproof strategy." After Lou Gui finished speaking, Lu Fan immediately came out to express his approval.

"Mr. Zibo's strategy is indeed sound." Cheng Pu also immediately appeared in the hall to express his approval.

"The year before last and last year were all Dafeng, and the prince didn't have to worry about logistics." Wang Xiu also immediately made a list.

"Prince, although I would like to raid Guanzi City...... But the situation in Liucheng is there...... It's still the best strategy of Zibo. Xi Zhong also reluctantly admitted.

Gongsun Xun, who was sitting at the top, was silent for a moment again, but finally nodded slowly...... Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this, what they were most afraid of was that Gongsun Xun would be angry and would immediately send troops to recapture Chengde.

In the next two days, Changping restored tranquility, after all, Gongsun Xun is Gongsun Xun, as soon as he returned, everyone regained confidence, not to mention that this rebellion did not cause any substantial damage to the core area of Youzhou Senei.

Even, as the news of Gongsun Xun's arrival spread, the rebels in the north, I don't know how many Zahu tribes, and even some of the Wuhuan people sent people to complain, saying the helplessness of their respective tribes, and begging for forgiveness.

For these people, Gongsun Xun didn't have much anger, so he was kind and pleasant, and they all comforted and persuaded them...... For a while, the balance of the situation gradually turned around with the return of Gongsun Xun, which was immediate.

But a few days later, in early February, with a large number of messengers and envoys coming from Luoyang, the atmosphere in Changping suddenly calmed down.

First, of course, the various previous appointments have been transmitted here one after another and disturbing in a few days.

Among them, whether it is Gongsun Xun himself's soldiers and horses who hold the festival to supervise several counties, or the appointment of Youzhou Mu Liu Yu, as well as the right general Zhao Bao who holds the section to lead Liaodong Taishou, and even the trial was suddenly transferred to Zhao Guo as the prime minister, Dong Zhao went to Changshan, which is a matter of great influence for the Wei General's Mansion in Changping.

It has to be carefully considered.

Second, it was the Yellow Gate Squire Gongsun Yue sent a secret letter quickly, the content of this letter was only known to the core of General Wei's Mansion - it is said that the Son of Heaven's body suddenly deteriorated rapidly, and I am afraid that it will not be able to hold on in February and March!

Therefore, Luozhong suddenly became a tense situation.

And compared to this, there is a casual mention of the news in the letter, which is not worth mentioning.

It is said that the former general Dong Zhuo had no choice but to accept the appointment to go to Luoyang as the Shaofu, but when he returned the soldiers and horses, and then rushed to Chang'an with his own seal letter and private soldiers with the northern army that returned to Luozhong, he suddenly turned back, and then went to the Fufeng military camp to recapture his five or six thousand core old troops by himself, and once again stood in a separate camp with Huangfu Song.

Obviously, according to Gongsun Yue's letter, Dong Zhuo must have heard the news that the Son of Heaven was seriously ill in Chang'an, and he must have received hints from some big people in Chang'an, so he was so unscrupulous.

"Prince!"

By the pond in the backyard of General Wei's mansion, just when Gongsun Xun hesitated again and again, but just now he ordered to assemble the staff and prepare to make immediate moves, suddenly, an attendant came to report. "Mr. Zibo, please see you."

—————I'm the dividing line of a good stomach acid—————

"The court and the central government worshiped Zhuo as the Shaofu, but the line, to Chang'an, heard that the son of heaven was seriously ill, Zhuo was surprised, but the illness returned to the wind, and recaptured the headquarters of the five thousand soldiers, with the above speech: 'The generals Huangzhong Yicong and Qin Hu soldiers are all ministers and said: 'The upright is not complete, the gift is cut off, and the wife is hungry.'"
