"What does Li Shizhong mean by this, he is Yan Yanming in the east of the river, across the big river, and he still wants to come over to attack me Zuo Feng Yi?"

After Guo Yan was slightly stunned, he immediately reacted, this was very likely just the demagogic and deceitful side of Li Ru's strategists, he sneered again and again, and then blushed his stomach, as if he didn't believe it.

Li Ru was not in a hurry to argue with Guo Yan, and said thoughtfully:

"Hedong Yan Yan is the same as Huayin's Duan Xuan, good at forbearance, at that time in Dong Ying, Confucianism only saw that this person is brave, can be used as a minions, but who can expect that this person's chest is far beyond ordinary people, even if it grows bigger, Hongnong, Hanoi, and Henan have been defeated by it one after another, if it continues like this, who else can control it?"

Li Ru glanced at Guo Yan, and after seeing that he also lowered his head and pondered, he said leisurely:

"General Hou should not forget, Yan Yan and Gan Ling, named Jun Chen, are really like brothers, General Hou forced Gan Ling to cross east of the West River, but he and Yan Yan formed a big enmity, if Yan Yan who is sitting in the land of three rivers recuperates and grows strong, I am afraid that he will be the general!"

After listening to Li Ru's words, the generals under Guo Yan's command changed slightly, and they have also heard about the strength of the soldiers and horses in Hedong these days, destroying Zhang Yang, retreating from the righteousness, breaking Zhang Ji, including the land of the three rivers, and the elite soldiers and generals under their command, with great momentum.

Among them, Gao Shuo and Xia Yu's faces were the most abnormal, when they captured the land of the West River, they were all in a hurry, although they suffered a little loss under Yan Xing's men, but at least they took back the land of the West River without danger, and now they are stationed in the land of the West River.

Of course, there are also special examples under Guo Yan, such as Zhang Xiu. Zhang Ji was defeated by Yan Xing and Duan Xuan together, lost his teacher and lost his land, fled in embarrassment, and even suffered physical and mental injuries, and was seriously ill, Zhang Xiu and Yan Xing and Duan Xuan can be said to have a deep blood feud, his face changed color, but because if Guo Yan and Hedong were at war, then their Zhang family's uncle and nephew would have a greater chance under Guo Yan, and there would be a chance to take revenge.

Guo Yan soon noticed the change in the faces of the generals under his command, and he immediately snorted coldly, very dissatisfied with Li Ru's methods to shake his military heart, and said disdainfully:

"What if there is a great feud? Don't say that when he rests and recuperates, he will attack again, as long as my Zuo Feng Yi's army has a little rest, in the coming year, Ma will step on the east of the river, and it will be a trivial matter to destroy him Yan Yan! ”

Guo Yan's wild words were very good, but Li Ru didn't believe it, and he continued:

"The general still don't underestimate the soldiers and horses of Hedong, this time the soldiers and horses under the command of Yan Yan, destroy Zhang Yang, retreat from the righteousness, and break Hongnong, it can be said that they are fighting at the same time, the soldiers are not resting, and they still win consecutive battles, and now the trend of Hedong has been achieved, and it is better to be steady!"

Li Ru knew that Guo Yan was arrogant and arrogant, and if it weren't for the stakes, he would disdain to believe his own words, so he turned to look at Zhang Xiu under Guo Yan, and said with a chuckle:

"If General Hou doesn't believe the whispers below, why don't you ask the public, what about General Zhang Shao, who has a lot of battles with soldiers and horses in Hedong?"

When Guo Yan heard this, the scar on his face shook, his eyes turned, and he unconsciously looked at Zhang Xiu.

He also attached great importance to Zhang Xiu's courage and good fighting, so in order to keep Zhang Xiu, he not only asked the imperial court to make Zhang Xiu a loyal general, but also promised him that he would recapture Hongnong County for their uncle and nephew and avenge them.

Therefore, Guo Yan cleared his voice, looked at Zhang Xiu and asked:

"Virtuous nephew, I want to raise a large army, avenge your uncle and nephew, and attack Hedong, do you think Yan Yan may be the enemy?"

Hearing Guo Yan's question, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but be shocked, and secretly slandered Li Ru in his heart, he was now under the fence, and he was no longer the young general of the past, but this poisonous strategist still had to pull himself into this quagmire.

Zhang Xiu remembered Zhang Ji's advice in his heart, Guo Yan took in these remnants of the defeated generals on the surface, and made a gesture of revenge for them, but they had to be more careful under Guo Yan's command, so as not to inadvertently violate the taboo of Guo Yan, who has always been arrogant and domineering.

Therefore, Zhang Ji repeatedly told Zhang Xiu that under Guo Yan's command, they could only keep their heads in obscurity, and they must not eagerly talk to Guo Yan about borrowing troops for revenge, or instigating Guo Yan to raise troops to attack Hedong, only by pretending to be depressed and cautious, they will have the opportunity to rise again in these Xiliang army camps where there are constant gaps in the future.

Thinking of his uncle's advice, Zhang Xiu immediately saluted respectfully, made a gesture of consideration for Zuo Fengyi and Guo Yan, and said:

"Yan and Duan two thieves, take the land of my uncle and nephew Hongnong, and break my Xiliang army, this is a deep hatred in the sea of blood, embroidered worries and weeps blood, just to be able to get revenge as soon as possible, and kill the enemy with his own hands, but the soldiers and horses in Hedong are strong, and the supply of grain and grass is endless, and our army still needs to repair for some time, and in the coming year, the soldiers will have enough food and grain to be able to find an opportunity to destroy this giant!"

Although Zhang Xiu's words were very vague, Guo Yan still understood the gist, that is, he now has a large army and invades Hedong, and there is no chance of victory, unless he stays until the next year, when the soldiers are well fed and Hedong has an opportunity, he can raise a large army and attack Yan Yan.

If Li Ru's words are still alarmist mixed with other purposes, then Zhang Xiu, who fought with the soldiers and horses of Hedong, is really an old man.

Speaking of attacking Hedong, Guo Yan believed that among the generals present, Zhang Xiu's thoughts were the strongest, but even he thought that he had no chance of winning by attacking Yan Yan with all his might, so it showed that the strong neighbor behind him was really strong enough to be feared.

Perhaps, it is really time for him to negotiate peace with Li Dao in Chang'an, and free up his hands to deal with Hedong, a rapidly rising and powerful neighbor?

Guo Yan muttered in his heart, stared at Li Ru with his eyes, and said:

"Okay, the kindness of the courtiers has already been understood, I don't know if there is anything else to convey in the waiter?"

Li Ru smiled, he had already seen through Guo Yan's heart that was beginning to waver, and he took advantage of the situation and said directly:

"Confucianism is here, and there is also the order of the Che Cai General, the Che Cai General is willing to make peace with the Hou General, and personally lead the army to recapture Hongnong County for General Zhendong!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked!

···

Xihe County, away from Stone City.

Yu Fu Luo and Hu Chuquan walked on the outskirts of the city, and the grass on the outskirts of the city had become bare, revealing a faint crack on the surface, and a strong wind blew, and then rolled up a large stream of wind and sand, blowing so that passers-by could not open their eyes.

Yu Furo spat out a mouthful of dust, looked at the stone city that had been reduced to ruins, and stood silent.

This middle-aged grassland man, with vicissitudes of life and pale temples, as if he has aged dozens of years, he is no longer the Luan Ti Yufu Luo who looked at the world of flowers and flowers and wanted to do a great career when he first entered the Central Plains land of the Han people, in order to restore the supreme glory of the Xiongnu Shan Yu Luan Ti family.

Like the Xiongnu, the former Han Empire also fell into a situation of fragmentation, with groups of heroes rising in various places, and the authoritative crown of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty also fell to the ground, but those local princes who supported their own troops and divided the states and counties were not able to be leveraged by a down-and-out Xiongnu prince or thousands of Huns.

He once wanted to attach himself to the Han court, but because of the large-scale invasion of the rebels in Liangzhou, the Han court had no energy to care about him, the prince of the Huns, and he wanted to unite the Baibo army in Hedong, but the Baibo in Hedong was defeated by the elite soldiers from Xiliang.

After he wandered in Taiyuan, Shangdang and other places, attached to Yuan Shao, also betrayed Yuan Shao, was defeated by Lu Yi, and also defeated Geng Zhi, and later saw that Yuan Shu was powerful, and united with Montenegro to seek refuge in Yuan Shu, but was beaten by Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's coalition army, and fled in defeat again.

With the gradual expansion of Yuan Shao's power in Hebei, Yuan Shao also freed his hand and let his nephew Gao Gan run the state, facing the situation that he was surrounded by strong enemies that could not be taken lightly, the Xiongnu prince had to bow his noble head and chose to surrender to Yuan Shao and Gao Gan.

In return, Yuan Shao, who had already proclaimed himself a general of the cavalry and had also tried to establish a new emperor by himself, waved his hand without hesitation, and gave Yu Fuluo's coveted Xiongnu Shan Yu the title, along with the fake Shan Yu Jin Seal.

But how much significance can these false guins play in the name?

The reason why Yu Fuluo still hoped that the Han court would grant him the title of Shan Yu was to use the prestige and strength of the Han Dynasty to help him quell the rebellion within the Xiongnu and let him really ascend to the throne of the Xiongnu Shan Yu.

Now Yuan Shao waved his hand and gave himself the title and golden seal of Shan Yu, but he was unable to dispatch a large army to help him quell the rebellion within the Xiongnu, and he was only a superficial honor, and in the field, he was still the Xiongnu prince who lost his subordinates and went into exile.

Yuan Shao also hoped that the surrendered Hun cavalry would help his nephew Gao Gan stabilize the situation in the state, but at this age, Gao Gan was unwilling to even feed such a foreign army, or he couldn't.

Hebei had to guard against Gongsun Zhan's army, to wipe out the remnants of the forces that had expelled Montenegro, to eliminate Tian Kai and Kong Rong and others in Qingzhou, and to send soldiers and horses to Dongjun to deter Lu Bu and Zhang Miao, who were fighting with Cao Cao for Yanzhou.

Yuan Shao used troops everywhere, where could he still raise the Huns.

However, the high-ranking cadres of Bingzhou also can't afford to raise this Hun cavalry that eats horses and chews at this age.

The merger of states led by Gao Gan, just like his nominal merger of states, is a shrunken existence. In fact, only Taiyuan, Shangdang and a small part of Yanmen County can be governed by Gaogan, and others such as Shuofang, Yunzhong, Xihe, Wuyuan, and Dingxiang have either abandoned the county and migrated people in the last years of Emperor Ling, or they were occupied by Xianbei, Xiongnu, and Zahu, and were unable to recover it.

With such a dilapidated territory in his hands, he had to deal with the invasion and plundering of Zhang Yang in Hanoi before, and Gao Gan, the assassin of the state, deserved it, but in fact, it was not as beautiful as it seemed on the surface.

Especially at this age, there is a drought and a locust plague, and there is no harvest in many places in the state, the grain and grass are not enough, and Jizhou is unable to support.

So the senior cadres were half gifts, half coercion, and let Yu Fuluo's Hun cavalry return to Xihe County to eat.

However, after returning to Xihe County, the Hanjia County here has been abandoned, and the pastures that have suffered from drought and locust plagues are bare, which is not enough to raise horses and livestock.

The internal division of the Southern Xiongnu has been very obvious, Tuge, Tiefu, Jihu and other Xiongnu tribes have established their own Hao chieftains, some of them are only the descendants of the Hutu people who were conquered by the Huns in the past, some are the descendants of the mixed Hu who intermarried with the Wuhuan, and some are the mixed-race Qiang Hu who live with the pious Qiang and the like.

However, these Xiongnu other species, for the decay and decline of the Shan Yu Headquarters, are still only the existence of strong branches and weak cadres, and the Xiongnu left nobles who originally separated from the Shan Yu Division, such as the Julong Division, the Fuqu Division, and the Xue Division, have become the henchmen of the Xiongnu Shan Yu Headquarters, like the Che Niu of the Julong Division, they have established themselves as Shan Yu, united the Fuqu Division, the Xue Division, and vigorously attacked the Shan Yu Division.

Located in Meiji, Nandan Yuting is still in the hands of the Xiongnu on the left, and Yu Fuluo is unable to recapture Shan Yuting with his men and horses, so he sent his uncle to Beibei to contact the most powerful Tu tribe among the Xiongnu races.

Of course, Yu Fuluo knew that Tu Ge was actually a potential threat, and he was no less than the Xiongnu on the left. These descendants of Xiu Tu, who were once conquered by the ancestors of the Luanti clan, have gradually regained a certain strength with the passage of time, and they are also salivating for the declining power of Shan Yu Headquarters, and they are eager to replace them.

But Yu Fuluo had no choice, he had to use the tribal strength of Tu Ge to suppress the opposition forces of the Julong Division, the Fuqu Division, and the Xuan Xuan Department on the left, so that he could return to Shan Yuting and successfully ascend the rickety Shan Yu throne.

His own uncle was humiliated, mixed with the blood of the Huns, and Yu Fuluo sent him, hoping that he could say that he could slaughter all kinds of people, change his position, and support him to return to the position of Shan Yu, even if he had to pay a huge price for this, he Yu Fuluo did not hesitate to do it for the glory of the Luan Ti family.

Hu Chuquan looked at Yu Fuluo looking at the ruins of the city wall, looked at it for a long time, and thought of the gradual decline of the Luanti clan, as a man of the Luanti clan, his heart was also full of bad feelings, he sighed, and said:

"Shan Yu, I believe that Uncle Qubei, he will definitely be able to persuade Tu Ge to help us, and we will be able to return to Shan Yuting soon!"

Yu Fu Luo glanced at his younger brother, the Huns pursued the inheritance of brother and brother, father and son, if in the past, the position of Shan Yu between brothers and sisters, it can also be called fierce, in order to prevent the brother in the prime of life from mutilating his young offspring, Shan Yu will generally give his younger brother land, people, livestock, and divide them out.

It's just that now Shan Yu's headquarters is declining, and they, the fugitives, can't even return to Shan Yuting, and the brothers can only defend themselves against foreign enemies here.

Yu Fuluo also believed that their uncle was humiliated, just to let Tu Ge raise troops to help, how much price did they have to pay for the Luanti family?
