Chapter 230: Liu Yan's Decision

As the saying goes, the police always appear at the end of the film, when the Luxian Family Alliance and Lu Peng fought to death, Liu Yan, the Taishou of Youzhou, had already received detailed information and was anxious about this matter.

Liu Yan's official reputation in Youzhou is not good, greedy for money and arbitrary, and all families and families are also disobedient to him, and they do not support him, so in his heart, Liu Yan can't wait for Lu Peng to teach these things that he doesn't know how to do it.

But at the same time, he deeply felt that Lu Peng was like a wild horse that had escaped from his control. For example, this time, in the battle between the two sides, Lu Peng didn't even send a messenger over, even to ask for his opinion, which made him feel a deep loss, so he also had a kind of alliance with the big family to hit Lu Peng's mind.

In the officialdom, what is important is a balance, so that those in high positions can suppress the left and right, and let different forces use them for their own use.

The flowing front-line intelligence was transmitted to Liu Yan's desk with rare efficiency, and Liu Yan's order at that time was that the battle report on the front line must be transmitted to his own hands within an hour.

Luxian County is 300 miles away from here, and the fast horse is only half a day, but it is just a pain for those who pass the message, but it is too orderly, even if it kills a few war horses, it must complete the task assigned by Taishou, otherwise the future of the family will be worried.

"It's too much, it's too much." Liu Yan took the latest battle report and complained to Zou Jing, who was in a hurry in the lobby, and he didn't know whether he said that the family was too much, or that Lu Peng was too much.

"This is a riot, this is a direct contempt for the government, and I ask Lord Taishou to allow me to send troops to quell the rebellion." Zou Jing clenched his fists and angrily quarreled with the tepid Liu Yan in the lobby.

When the war broke out, Zou Jing, who was worried about his niece, son-in-law and niece, was ready to light up his soldiers and prepare to reinforce Lu Peng.

Now Zou Jing has 5,000 old and weak officers and soldiers in his hands, and another is the 3,000 white horse battalion brought by Zhao Yun and trained here. He knew that Lu Peng had strength in his hands, but he didn't know the true number, and he wanted to return the three thousand white horse battalions to Lu Peng no matter what.

But this request to send troops was suppressed by Taishou.

"Don't be impatient, we'll have to see what happens." Liu Yan comforted Zou Jing as his partner without impatience.

The reason why Liu Yan arranged it this way, while wanting to find the balance of the two forces, actually had a fear of Ding Yuan.

Youzhou and state are connected, and Ding Yuan is at the same level as himself.

But Ding Yuan himself can be literate and martial, and he is higher than himself in talent, and at the same time, because Ding Yuan has fought with the Northern Xianbei for many years, although he has not achieved an advantage, he has not been defeated. In the years of conquest, a large number of generals who can fight well have been trained. Among the people, Lu Bu is invincible in the world, and the fierce general Zhang Liao Gaoshun is good at training soldiers, and his subordinate camps are famous all over the world. Hou Cheng Wei Xu is a pioneer in cavalry warfare, and each of them is a hundred times stronger than Zou Jing, who is like a sick cat under him. And Gongsun Zhan, who is capable of fighting, can't command at all, and now Lu Peng is also hard-winged, and he is not very easy to manage.

In terms of turf, he can't be compared with Ding Yuan. Ding Yuan controlled the entire state, and himself, west of Youzhou City, was controlled by the ambitious Gongsun Zhan, and most of the east of Youzhou City was in the hands of the traitor Zhang Ju Zhang Chun, as well as the Wuhuan alien race who colluded with Erzhang to go south. To the east of Liaoxi, it is in the hands of Gongsun Du, and the place that can be under his jurisdiction is only around a Youzhou City, as well as several counties that have been dilapidated.

At this time, Lu Peng and Ding Yuan's clan had a conflict, and if he didn't mix, he could still make Ding Yuan have some scruples about the rules of officialdom, once he sent troops to help Lu Peng, Ding Yuan would make a move, under Ding Yuan's iron horse, could he still sit in the position of Youzhou?

Thinking of this, he had a headache, and once again strengthened Liu Yan's determination to leave Youzhou, a land of right and wrong, as soon as possible, and go to Yizhou to find his son to be the emperor.

Since you can't control the competition between the Ding family and Lu Peng, then be a spectator, let's not help each other, and in the end, both sides or one won, or both will lose, and then come forward to clean up the mess, so it is the best policy.

Without Liu Yan's support, Zou Jing could only be as helpless as a trapped beast, in fact, he also knew that even if he went, with the five thousand old and weak under his command, he would not be able to play any role at all, and he could only cry out in vain.

Just when the two of them were anxious and struggling here, another messenger rushed in and reported loudly: "Report - Lord Qi Taishou, Lord Captain, the battle between Lu Peng and the family alliance has come to an end. ”

The hearts of the two people immediately rose to their throats, and they asked nervously, "How is the battle?" Who wins and who loses? ”

The messenger immediately reported: "In the battle of Yanchang, LΓΌ Peng led tens of thousands of people to break through, both sides were defeated, Luxian was conquered, LΓΌ Peng's army was reinforced, and Xu Jie lobbied each family, causing the family alliance to fall apart, and finally defected before the battle, and the family alliance was completely defeated. Then Xu Jie led the victorious troops south to intercept the remnants of Ding Li, and completely annihilated the family alliance army in Duyugang, and now, Lu Peng is leading a large army to kill the Ding family. ”

Although the report is short, the ups and downs in it make people thrilling when they think about it.

Zou Jing breathed a sigh of relief, his nephew and son-in-law won, and the foundation of Luxian County was preserved, so he didn't have to worry about everything anymore.

However, Liu Yan was shocked, not the result of this war, but one of the details, that is, Lu Peng's reinforcements.

Lu Peng has 4,000 headquarters in his hands, as well as 3,000 white horse battalions trained in Youzhou, this is 7,000 tigers and wolves, how can he still have reinforcements in this war?

"How many reinforcements does Lu Peng have?" Liu Yan asked the messenger nervously.

The messenger thought for a moment: "At least four thousand." ”

"How's the equipment?"

"It's the same as his original headquarters, but it's already equipped with armor."

"Hiss-" Liu Yan immediately felt a cold wind rush into his teeth, which completely made him have a toothache.

I really didn't expect that Lu Peng left a hand for himself right under his nose, hiding such a strong army, with this sudden appearance of four thousand, does that mean that he has other things to hide?

Now it's okay, there is a disobedient Gongsun Zan in the west of him, this Lu Peng does this, and he will definitely not be willing to listen to his command anymore, look at Zou Jing who has become quiet, it seems that this kid is absolutely devoted to Lu Peng, and he will no longer return to himself, himself, this time he has really become a loner.

When the little daughter-in-law was feeling sorry for herself, Guan Quan suddenly appeared, and mentioned nervously: "Since Lu Peng wins, he will definitely have a grudge against the family, and with his character, the family families around Luxian County will definitely suffer this time." Then he looked at Liu Yan nervously: "Especially the Ding family, once Lu Peng destroys the Ding family, then Ding Yuan of Bingzhou must not give up." ”

Being reminded of such a loss, Liu Yan was suddenly shocked, and immediately jumped to his feet: "Hurry up, you go to Lu Peng immediately, pass on my words, this battle will be over, and you must not do anything to the family again, especially the Ding family, go quickly." ”

Guan Yu directly lifted his robe and rushed out.
