At the end of August, the stewards sent by the Yuan family visited the tribal kings of Wuhuan in the three eastern counties. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The Wuhuan King of Shanggu County had a close relationship with Gao Shun's strength and enjoyed the rewards of the imperial court exclusively, so the Yuan family did not contact him.

The king of the Wuhuan tribe of Youbeiping County is Wuyan, called the King of Khanlu in 168, with more than 800 tribes under his jurisdiction, living in the north of Junmi County, Youbeiping County, grazing outside the Great Wall.

And Zhang He was stationed in Xu Wu County, just blocking the road to the south of Wuyan, he knew that the soldiers of the Captain of Wuhuan were strong, so he refused the request of the Yuan family on the spot, and he did not dare to directly confront the Han court at present.

The king of the Wuhuan tribe in Liaodong County was Su Fuyan, known as the king of Qiao in 168, with more than 1,000 settlements under his jurisdiction, and refused the request of the Yuan family on the grounds that the distance was too far, in fact, he was afraid of the retaliation of the Han court.

Only Qiu Liju, one of the tribal kings of Liaoxi County, responded positively.

At present, only Wuhuan in Liaoxi is still in a decentralized state and has not yet been unified.

The western part of Liaoning is vast, long and narrow from east to west, inhabited by more than 5,000 Wuhuan settlements, the strength is very strong, and it is divided into three large tribes and some scattered small settlements.

The strongest Wuhuan king is Qiu Liju, occupying Liucheng and having nearly 3,000 lands; He was ambitious and wanted to complete the unification of Wuhuan in Liaoxi.

There are two Wuhuan people outside the Great Wall, respectively stationed in the White Wolf Stone City and Qinglong City, each of which is nearly more than a thousand falls, and the Wuhuan King Wuyan of Beiping County has the closest relationship, they form a horn trend, resist the annexation of Qiu Liju internally, and resist the pressure of the Xianbei tribe externally.

Among them, the Wuhuan tribe stationed in Qinglong City is the closest to the territory of the Han Dynasty, has the best relationship with the Han people, often trades, and the pasture is located in the river valley area, which is less affected by the drought, and the people live a good life.

The Wuhuan people, Xianbei and Xiongnu people living in the Great Wall, after Zou Jing paid a high salary, actively joined the army, so that their families obtained a stable source of livelihood, for these people, their hearts are towards the Han court, gradually integrate into the life of the Han people, and will never do anything to rebel against the Han Dynasty.

This is also one of the reasons why King Wuyan rejected the Yuan family.

The reason why Qiu Liju actively responded to the call of the Yuan family was mainly to plunder materials, develop strength, and then unify the Wuhuan departments; And this year's civil strife in the Han Dynasty and the damage to his strength are a good opportunity for him to enter the fortress and plunder.

After the envoy of the Yuan family left, Wu Yan immediately sent personnel to inform Zhang He, and after Zhang He rewarded the envoy, he immediately sent someone to inform Zou Jing.

Zou Jing received Zhang He's letter, his heart was overjoyed, but he didn't pay too much attention to Qiu Liju, in his opinion, this is a good opportunity to get the merits of the war, and replied to Zhang He: Qiu Liju tribe is only more than 2,000 Luo, at most can organize 5,000 cavalry, away from his lair to raid, as long as the two join forces, they can definitely leave most of Qiu Liju's men and horses, he doesn't want the lord to send people to divide the battle achievements.

Zhang He doesn't think so, in his opinion, safety comes first, and gaining military merits is second; If the low grade is not stopped, and it is a trivial matter for the county seat to be breached, then the western part of Liaoxi County, Youbeiping County, and even Guangyang County will be tragically plundered by Qiu Liju, and the people will be ravaged, then he will be responsible for a hundred deaths.

Deng Mao also did not advise Zhang He to report to Gao Shun, otherwise, it would be difficult for them to obtain enough combat achievements.

After careful consideration, Zhang He ruled out public opinion and sent someone to inform Gao Shun, and along the way, he informed Cheng Pu, the captain of Guangyang County, and Zhang Yan, the captain of Zhuo County, to prepare to resist the raid of the Wuhuan cavalry.

He is making preparations with both hands, if Gao Shun can send a large army to come, he will strive to annihilate the Wuhuan cavalry, if Gao Shun does not send reinforcements, then he must hold the city to ensure that it is not lost.

At the same time, he sent someone to inform Liu Zheng, the Taishou of Beiping County, to prepare to meet the enemy.

In mid-September, Gao Shun received Zhang He's letter and Zou Jing's transcribed letter, and felt that Zhang He was much more mature and had the potential to be a famous general.

First of all, Li Qiang was recruited to negotiate.

Li Qiang was overjoyed after reading the letter, and said with a smile: "Haha, lord, I'm worried that I have nothing to do, I'll be coming to the food soon, God help me." ”

Gao Shun smiled: "Hehe, don't be too happy, I didn't plan to send you." ”

"Lord, don't you want to leave all these Wuhuan people behind?"

Gao Shun explained: "I just want to leave Qiu Liju, those cavalry he brought, it would be good to be able to wipe out half of them, if they are all annihilated, it will push Liaoxi Wuhuan into the arms of the Xianbei people, if the strength is weakened too much, it is easy to make other Wuhuan tribes cheap, it is best to let Liaoxi Wuhuan continue to be in a state of division, and must not let other tribes or strength take the opportunity to make money." ”

Gao Shun's inner thought was that now his strength was relatively weak, even if he wiped out all the Wuhuan in Liaoxi and Wuhuan in Youbeiping, he would not get the benefits, and let the Xianbei people in the east go south to fill the gap of the Wuhuan people, which was not conducive to the implementation of his long-term plan, and it was easy to make Wuhuan in Shanggu County feel afraid.

To eliminate the Wuhuan people, the first step is to first eliminate the Wuhuan King Nanlou in Shanggu County, and then eliminate the Wuhuan in the three eastern counties; Now it is also necessary for the Wuhuan people of the three eastern counties to resist the eastern Xianbei people outside the Saiwai.

"Isn't that too cheap for them?" Li Qiang was unwilling.

"If we wipe out all the alien races, we will lose our value, and we won't get any benefit if we let others earn it."

Li Qiang carefully recalled it and felt that Gao Shun's words were reasonable, and now he couldn't eliminate the Wuhuan people in Liaoxi, otherwise the benefits would be earned by the Xianbei people in Liaoxi County and the east; And without external pressure, the court would not pay much attention to them; So he agreed with Gao Shun's opinion and said, "Lord, then find an opportunity to compensate me." ”

"Haha, there are many opportunities, next year will start to fight the Xianbei people, if I don't have a chance to play, you will lead this group of people to fight."

After getting Gao Shun's promise, Li Qiang was overjoyed and said: "Thank you, lord, I can now miss the feeling of galloping on a horse in the prairie." So who will be sent to fight this time? ”

Gao Shun asked rhetorically, "What is your opinion?" ”

Li Qiang thought for a moment and said: "If you send Guan Yu, Yan Liang and Zhang Fei to the battlefield, you will have to annihilate all the cavalry led by Qiu Li's residence, which is likely to destroy the lord's plan; I suggest sending Wen Chou to lead Zhao Fu and Pei Yuanshao, a total of 23 cavalry, 12 infantry to escort grain and grass, plus Zhang He and Zou Jing's cavalry, which is enough to deal with Qiu Liju; This can also be regarded as an opportunity for Zhao Fu, Cheng Huan and Pei Yuanshao to make meritorious contributions. ”

Gao Shun thought for a moment and said, "In this case, I'm worried that Qiu Liju will run away." ”

Li Qiang said disapprerovingly: "If you run, you will run, it doesn't matter, you should be a soldier, after this solo leader, no matter how you win or lose, I believe that Gonghuan will have a great improvement." Besides, after this blow, it will definitely deter all the Wuhuan tribes, we only send a small part of the cavalry, and we can beat them, and they will definitely not dare to go south in the future. ”

Gao Shun thought to himself, Wen Chou is another Sima, and he should exercise his ability to be independent, otherwise it will be difficult for everyone to grow up; And after this blow, even if Qiu Liju escapes back, his strength will be greatly damaged, and it will be difficult for him to unify the Wuhuan departments in Liaoxi in a short period of time, and it will not have much impact on his plan, so he agreed to Li Qiang's suggestion and said: "Okay, tomorrow morning, gather everyone to come to the meeting; Set off the day after tomorrow, let them first go to the Guangyang Army barracks to station, and the rest of the things will be decided by Wen Chou according to the dynamics of the development of things. ”

"Yes, my lord, I'll arrange it."
