"Bang!" With a loud bang, Peng Huang's fists slammed on the desk, his eyes were red, and his eyes were as terrifying as a beast that wanted to eat people. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The servants and singers around them prostrated on the ground one after another, for fear of being implicated and suffering an unjustified disaster.

"Taishou, what happened again? It's made you so angry. A confidant asked boldly.

Peng Huang glanced at his henchmen angrily, and said angrily: "The governor listened to Wei You's slander, and on the grounds that the current state and county taxes are beyond his means, he actually wants to dismiss a certain soldier and horse. ”

"Is it the Wei You who was scolded by General Du last time?"

"Who else could he be? This surnamed Wei is very good at figuring out the governor's thoughts, and has been trusted by the governor recently, and now he is serving as General Ning Yuan and Jincheng Taishou, and he has extended his hand to General Jiang Fei's army. ”

"Some time ago, General Jiang Fei's Sima Zhang Xiang and Guo Ya, who joined the army, were attracted by Wei You, and the two actually plotted to kill General Jiang Fei in order to annex General Jiang Fei's troops. Fortunately, the conspiracy was detected by General Jiang Fei in advance, so it did not cause a catastrophe. ”

"Even this governor didn't punish Wei You, and blamed General Jiang Fei for being troublesome. Hmph, now the governor is more and more distrustful of our old brothers in the Western Expeditionary Army, first kicked a certain family, Jiang Fei, Kang Sheng and others out of Guzang, leaving only General Du, who is known for his prestige. ”

"General Du is lonely, and under the calculations of Wei You and others, he has to avoid living in the mansion."

"Now that the governor has begun to steal the military power in our hands again, it seems that this is not leaving a way for Lao Tzu to live."

"General, since the governor is unkind, why do you bother to talk about loyalty and morality."

"Huh? What do you mean? Peng Huang asked with wide eyes.

"General, don't you understand? This is clearing the way for the Lu family to take power, unless you honestly hand over the power in your hands and return to Guzang to be a rich man, maybe the governor will open the net, otherwise I am afraid that I will die in the end. ”

"Yes...... However, if the anti-flag is raised, can it stop the Guzang army? Peng Huang asked excitedly.

"Where is there any army in Guzang? As Taishou, General Jiang, and General Kang left with their soldiers and horses one after another, only the troops under the command of the governor and General Du were left in Guzang City. ”

"After the incident, the general can secretly contact Jiang, Kang, and Du, even if the three of them do not move, the general will have the hope of repelling the governor and occupying Zhangye to stand on his own."

"If the general is still not at ease, you can secretly contact Lu Shuihu and Xianbei people, and everyone agrees to send troops together to divide Liangzhou."

"You can even contact Wang Mu, who has wandered to Jiankang County, and let him continue to play the banner of Qianliang."

"At that time, in the face of Liangzhou, which is full of flames, Lu Guang will have three heads and six arms."

"Well, that's a good plan, just do what you say. Strive to contact all parties, and at the end of the year, it will be launched at the same time, and Guzang will be caught off guard. ”

……

It was October 387 AD, months after Gaochang had occupied eastern Wusun, and the situation had gradually stabilized.

After comprehensive reform, Gaochang has also ushered in great development, with more and more prosperous commerce and trade, and the people's living standards improving day by day.

At this time, there was bad news from Liangzhou, which was adjacent to Gaochang, and Peng Huang, the Taishou of Zhangye, was plotting a rebellion because he was dissatisfied with Lü Guang's weakening of his military power.

After learning the news, Wei Shuo immediately convened Gaochang Wenwu to discuss countermeasures.

"Lord, Gaochang's opportunity has come." Song Xuan's face was full of excitement and he looked eager to try.

"Oh? Why do you say this? ”

"My lord, ladies and gentlemen, after two years of development, Gaochang now has the initial strength to compete with Liangzhou."

"Gao Chang will be able to be on an equal footing with Liangzhou?" Yang Han, Yao Hao and others didn't quite believe Song Xuan's judgment.

"It may be an exaggeration to sit on an equal footing, but with Gaochang's strength now, there is no need to be afraid of Liangzhou."

"Unless Lu Guang fights me to the death with all his might, he won't be able to help Gao Chang at all."

Song Xuan's words revealed a strong confidence, which made everyone present feel excited.

"It is not blind and arrogant, but based on the assessment of the strength of both the enemy and the enemy."

"Last month, the recruits recruited by Gaochang have preliminarily completed their training, and now all the soldiers and horses together have a total of 24,000 eight-compartment foot cavalry, which is twice as many as before the war."

"It doesn't sound like 24,000 people, but don't forget, my Gaochang soldiers are all professional soldiers, which are different from the county garrisons of Liangzhou, which are half civilian and half soldiers."

"Moreover, the real elite under Lu Guang is only more than 30,000 people, and most of them are still the Western Expeditionary Army back then."

"It's just that today's Western Expeditionary Army is no longer as strong as when it swept the Western Regions, and as Lu Guang continues to suppress the heroes of the Western Expedition, the combat effectiveness of the Western Expeditionary Army has dropped again and again."

"Therefore, in terms of military strength alone, Gaochang is only weaker than Liangzhou."

"But the key to determining the outcome of a war is not only the strength of the military, but also the people's will and financial resources of a place. Needless to say, since the implementation of the new policy, there has been no one in Gaochang who has not praised the government. ”

"As for financial resources, although Gaochang as a whole is not as good as Liangzhou, don't forget. Gaochang is only a county, how can it compare to Liangzhou's vast territory and large population? But even so, if there is really a war, the financial resources mobilized by Gaochang may not be much less than that of Liangzhou. ”

After such an all-round comparison by Song Xuan, Yang Han, Wei Shuo, Yao Hao, Yin Jing, Li Wei, Xu Zhao and other talents found that Gaochang was already as strong as this.

"Sports, and don't be busy boasting, you first talk about what is 'opportunity is coming'." Wei Shuo pointed at Song Miao with his finger.

"No, the opportunity mentioned below is to take advantage of the civil strife in Liangzhou, and Gaochang sent troops to capture Dunhuang, Jiuquan, Jinchang and several other western counties of Liangzhou in one fell swoop."

"What?! Sending troops to Liangzhou? ”

Song Xuan's suggestion caused an uproar at the scene, and many people looked at Song Xuan in amazement, completely unable to believe that this young man, who was highly used by Wei Shuo, would come up with such a bold plan.

"Isn't Song County Ling worried that this move will lead to all-out retaliation from Lu Guang?" A Gaochang civil official asked.

"Revenge? Lu Guang also has to have that strength, and now is when Lu Guang's strength is the weakest. ”

"Inside, due to the struggle for power between the Lu clan and the Western Expedition Hero Group, the combat effectiveness of the army declined; Outside, families from all over the country disobeyed Lu Guangyin, and there were opposition forces everywhere. ”

"In this case, how can Lu Guang start a full-scale war with me? Unless he wants to burn all the jade. ”

Speaking of this, Song Miao stood up and said generously: "Lord, as the saying goes: the opportunity must not be lost, and it will not come again." Once the opportunity is missed, and Lü Guang successfully cuts off the hostile forces and clears up the internal troubles, Gaochang will have no chance to expand eastward for at least a few years. ”

"Don't be excited, the painstaking work is clear. However, the stakes are high for the expedition to Liangzhou, and the decision cannot be made lightly. I have to take into account the views of all parties before I can make a decision. Sit back and listen to what the others have to say. ”

Wei Shuo calmed Song Xuan, glanced at everyone present, and said loudly: "Everyone, everyone has listened to Song County's plan just now, and if you have any opinions, you might as well talk about it." ”

"If Lu Guang is really as he says, it is indeed a rare opportunity for Gaochang to meet in front of him, and the old man also agrees to send troops."

Taishou Yang Han was the first to stand up to support Song Xuan, and when he saw everyone looking at him in surprise, he spread his hands and said with a smile: "The old man supports the sports industry, not only because Lu Guang has a false appearance, but also because the big families in Dunhuang and Jiuquan have long been dissatisfied with Lu Guang. ”

"As long as Peng Huang raises troops to rebel, coupled with Zhang Dayu's remnant Wang Mu, who fled to Jiuquan last year, he will definitely be able to turn the western part of Liangzhou upside down. At that time, Gaochang held high the banner of counterinsurgency, and with the support of the local clans, occupied several counties east of Yumen Pass, was it not an easy task? ”

"Well, in this case, the old man can also help a little."

Listening to Yang Han talk about the local clans, Yao Hao, Yin Jing and other celebrities expressed their willingness to contact the familiar family in advance, thinking that they should respond.

Seeing that everyone's opinions were gradually unified, Wei Shuo got up and said, "Okay, since everyone has unanimously decided to send troops, then this matter is decided." Next, Gao Chang was tight inside and loose outside, and first secretly sent scouts to Liangzhou to inquire about the news, and once he heard of any trouble, the army immediately secretly opened to Yumen Pass. ”
