Volume 2 The Yellow Turban Rebellion Chapter 52 Youzhou Asks for Help, Liu Bei's Chance (Second Update)
"My lord, Liu Yu, the patriarch of the Youzhou Muhan family, sent a letter asking for help! Yuyang was invaded by Xianbei, threatening Shanggu County and Guangyang County, and Wuhuan in Liaoxi took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack, and General Gongsun was about to be defeated. ”
"Huh?!" Xiang Ao put down the book in his hand and frowned.
"How is Liaodong Xianbei?"
"It was not mentioned in the letter, I believe that there is no crisis in Liaodong for the time being!" Xi Zhong led Xiang Ao to Yutu and continued: "My lord, the strange thing is that Liu Zhou's pastoral letter seems to be more urgent to deal with the Wuhuan rebellion, and he is not too worried about Xianbei's entry. ”
"Oh?!" Xiang Ao was surprised again: "More worried about Wu Huan? What makes sense? ”
Xiang Ao looked at the map and felt strange. At the beginning, Zhang Chun and the Wuhuan rebels were defeated by Gongsun Zan and Xiang Ao in the Bohai Sea and the plains, and even if they fled back to Liaoxi, there were not too many people available. After that, he was suppressed by Gongsun Zhan with all his might, and at this time he should have no ability to raise another army, why is Liu Yu more worried about Wuhuan than Xianbei, who is about to enter the country?
Xiang Ao didn't know why for the time being, and he didn't have time to think about this time. Regarding Liu Yu sending messengers to ask for help, Xiang Ao didn't want to send troops to help, but most of the soldiers and horses were recruiting Xianbei, and they were led by Xu Shu. Since Xu Shu was given full responsibility for the matter of Xianbei in the north, Xiang Ao didn't want to interfere.
"Zhicai! How many troops are available in my northern region at this time? ”
"My lord, at this time, the Northern Regions can send soldiers and horses, and only two thousand personal guards of the lord and two thousand 'righteous servants' who are temporarily stationed in the barbarian valley north of the five plains!"
"Since Liu Zhou sent an envoy to ask for help, it is impossible to ignore it in the Northern Domain, and if Yuyang is lost, I am afraid that it will also threaten Daijun. Immediately ordered General Zhao Yun to lead 2,000 'righteous servants' to Yuyang to support. Xiang Ao thought about it for a while and said to Xi Zhong: "But tell Zilong that after rushing to Yuyang, it is enough to assist General Gongsun to resist Xianbei, and you can't do anything else." ”
"No!" Xi Zhong received the order, and knelt down to write the document before coming to Pingji.
"Lord, Liu Zhoumu is more worried about Wuhuan in Liaoxi, why does our army want to support General Gongsun to attack Xianbei?" Hu Zhao was a little puzzled by Xiang Ao's arrangement, and asked Xiang Ao suspiciously.
"Since it is my Northern Regions soldiers and horses, every time the soldiers and horses send troops, no matter how many, they must serve the Northern Regions!" Xiang Ao chuckled and did not explain.
"Huh?!" When Hu Zhao heard this, he was slightly cold for a moment, and then suddenly realized.
"The lord is far-sighted!" After Hu Zhao communicated, there was a burst of admiration in his heart. Xiang Ao smiled lightly when he heard this, but didn't say much.
Admittedly, Liu Yu was more worried about the Wuhuan rebellion. But for Xiang Ao, the biggest enemy at the moment is Xianbei. Although Xu Shu should not be too much of a problem to solve the Xianbei problem within time, but if Yuyang is lost, after occupying Yuyang, Xianbei will first break west, go straight to Daijun, and then attack the city of Decadence. After all, for Xianbei, for several years, the biggest threat was Xiang Ao in the Northern Regions.
Although Xiang Ao is not afraid, this time he must fight the remnants of Xianbei, and there must be no mistakes. If Luoyang was really in turmoil, the Xianbei Rebellion had not been resolved for a long time, and Xiang Ao Ke would not be able to eliminate the treachery as His Majesty. Therefore, Xianbei must be disabled this time, so that it will collapse, even if it is weak enough to fight back against Xianbei in the future, and invade the current realm of Dao Xianbei, Xiang Ao will not worry at all. As long as Xianbei collapses, I don't know how many years will be before he poses a threat to Dahan again.
So even if Liu Yu asked for help to exterminate Wu Huan, Xiang Ao would not interfere at this time. On weekdays, you can also send a small number of soldiers and horses to help.
"Is there a way for thistle?" Liu Yu looked at Gongsun Zhan and asked anxiously. Liu Yu's head hurts very much at this time, Wuhuan has not yet been calmed, Xianbei invaded again, and tried his best to defend for more than half a year.
"Rest assured, the champion Hou will definitely send soldiers and horses to help!" Gongsun Chan replied to Liu Yu painlessly. Since Liu Yu was still a pastor in Youzhou, he has been preventing Gongsun Bingge from being a foreigner. In Liu Yu's view, foreign people should be appeased and educated more, and as long as they sincerely serve, they can be regarded as the people of the Han Dynasty. Although Liu Yu's governance philosophy is very similar to Xiang Ao's. But Gongsun Chan felt that Liu Yu was a little hypocritical, especially in military affairs.
If it weren't for Gongsun Zhan's rebirth, I'm afraid Liu Yu would have regained all military power. Liu Yu is even more in the name of the pastor of Dahan Prefecture, and has sent envoys to Xianbei several times to seek peace with Xianbei, and he is also polite to Fuyu and other foreign tribes bordering Youzhou. Liu Yu's various actions when he came to Youzhou made Gongsun Zan extremely dissatisfied.
"In fact, if the champion Hou is willing to coexist with Xianbei, return the declining city, surrender the city, etc., and reconcile with Xianbei, there will be much less war in the northern frontier of my Han Dynasty!" Liu Yu sighed beside him, and his face looked even more pity.
When Gongsun Zan heard this, he secretly pouted: Liu Zhoumu, Liu Zhoumu, only thinking about how he can implement his decree and how he can become famous in the world, but Liu Yu, do you know the harm caused by the Xianbei people to the people of our Han Dynasty in the past few years?
"What Liu Zhoumu said is very true, if there is a chance, Liu Zhoumu can theorize with the champion Hou, maybe he can convince the champion Hou?"
"It must be so!" It didn't seem to hear the disdain in Gongsun Zhan's tone, Liu Yu said in contemplation.
Hum! Liu Yu hummed secretly in his heart, and secretly thought to himself: Er Xiao is, wait for Xianbei and Wuhuan to calm down, and see how the Benzhou Mu will seize the military power, and then it will be the time for the Benzhou Mu to show his ambitions and realize his ambitions. How can you know?
"Even if there is a champion Hou reinforcement coming, it will be a little longer. From the point of view of thistle, how should Wuyouzhou deal with the war at this time? ”
"If the state pastor trusts, the state pastor can send Zan to pacify Xianbei." Gongsun Zhan said bluntly: "The Wuhuan rebellion has no reserve at this time, and our army only needs to send 3,000 soldiers and horses to garrison in the Liaoxi Ling tribe to prevent Zhang Chun's surprise attack. Most of the remaining soldiers and horses can be sent to the city of Crazy Ping to confront the city of Xianbei to take the city, Xianbei is not good at attacking the city, and defending the city is also useless. After the confrontation, you can wait for the opportunity to break through the Xi in an instant and drive Xianbei out of Youzhou. ”
"Then Wuhuan doesn't care for the time being?" Liu Yu frowned and asked.
"I don't care about it for the time being, but after cleaning up Xianbei, I will turn around and attack it head-on, and it will be broken in less than a month." Gongsun Zhan is extremely determined, as if the life and death of Xianbei and Wuhuan are in his hands.
"So the state pastor will think about it again!" After that, Liu Yu didn't say much more, and pondered deeply. Seeing this, Gongsun Chan sighed secretly, and left quietly.
Such a state pastor, the disease of Youzhou! Gongsun Chan stepped into his mansion in Youzhou with his heart.
"Brother Bogui, what does the state pastor say?"
As soon as he returned to the house, his friend Liu Bei, who temporarily lived in Gongsun Zhan's house, stepped forward to ask.
"Xuande, hey..."Gongsun Zhan looked at Liu Bei and didn't know how to say.
"Liu Zhoumu is more worried about Wuhuan, and he doesn't seem to want to pay much attention to Xianbei."
"Huh!?" Liu Bei screamed strangely, and then said angrily in a deep voice: "Confused! Xianbei's threat is several times greater than Wuhuan, what does Liu Zhoumu think! ”
"Xuande!" When Gongsun Chan heard this, he stopped in a deep voice.
Liu Bei came to his senses, realized that he was rude, and hurriedly said: "Brother Bogui, don't blame, Bei is also angry!" ”
"Forget it!" Seeing Liu Bei like this, Gongsun Chan didn't blame him too much. Gongsun Zhan, who was going to rest, turned around and asked, "Where have the two retainers gone?" How can you see it? ”
"The two retainers of Beizhi are all happy about the affairs of the army, and they ran to the barracks when they had nothing to do, saying that they were familiar with the rules of the army!"
"That's great!" Gongsun Chan nodded with satisfaction. For Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Gongsun Chan still likes it very much, especially Guan Yu, who is calm and measured, mighty, and still holds a Spring and Autumn Festival in his hand at any time, and has the style of a general. In the future, after Liu Bei stabilizes in Gongsun Zhan's army, he will definitely be a general under Gongsun Zhan.
"Brother Bogui, can there be a reply to the request for help that the state pastor threw to the champion Hou?"
"There is no response for the time being, even if it is all cavalry from Wuyuan to here, it will be at least half a month away, wait slowly!"
When Liu Bei heard this, he also nodded helplessly. Gongsun Zhan turned around, and saw that Liu Bei looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, so he knew what to think. He chuckled and said: "Xuande doesn't need to worry, after he has a specific plan for Xianbei, he will let Xuande lead the troops to fight alone!" “
Hearing this, Liu Bei was slightly embarrassed, so he had to smile lightly to cover it up. Seeing this, Gongsun Zhan didn't say anything more, and after saying goodbye to Liu Bei, he walked to the backyard, ready to rest for a while.
However, Liu Bei was a lot of joy in his heart, and he had been displaced for several years, and now he finally settled a little. Everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as there is a beginning, is it far from success?
Regardless of the situation in Youzhou at this time, Zhao Yun, who received Xiang Ao's military order, was already on the way to Yuyang at this time.
Originally, Zhao Yun had planned to serve Gongsun Zhan, and what he wanted to enter the most was Gongsun Zhan's most elite 'White Horse Yicong'. However, only a few years later, Zhao Yun already has his own 'righteous servant', but for the heroes who were ready to serve in the past, Zhao Yun was also a little excited on the way, if it weren't for the tempering of being a general for several years, Zhao Yun really wanted to shout at this time.
"General, why are you in such a hurry? It seems that the lord did not ask us to rush to Yuyang at full speed! ”
In the past, the Zhao Yun that the guards saw was all majestic and extraordinary, not smiling, and his whole body was full of righteousness. And since he got the military order yesterday, Zhao Yun's temperament seems to have changed greatly, and occasionally there are even some childish behaviors, which makes Yiying personally feel a chill down his spine. In the end, I had to recommend someone to come out and find out the details.
"Cough..."Zhao Yun coughed dryly, and said with a serious face: "The military situation in Yuyang is urgent, if Yuyang is lost, I am afraid that it will endanger Daijun and implicate the city." So much for! ”
"The general is benevolent!" The guards exclaimed and retreated. It's just that if Zhao Yun knew what the guards were thinking at this time, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood.
What has happened to the general in recent days? It feels weird, I heard that the general has always disliked women, could it be that the general has taken a fancy to one of us? The guards who thought of this were frightened into a cold sweat. No, we have to tell everyone as soon as possible, so that everyone can beware of it, lest the general will be angry and ask us to serve him. Thinking about it, the guards rode their horses to the rear army, intending to tell their robes as soon as possible.
