Chapter 161: Driving the Wolf and Devouring the Tiger

Wen Ping has been following He Xian for the longest time, is familiar with the relationship between He Xian and Guo Jia, and knows that He Xian values this handsome white-faced scholar very much. During He Xian's absence www.biquge.info the clerk was basically Guo Jia. Among the three of Wenpin, Zhang Liao, and Wei Yan, Wenpin is the leader, so He Xian is not there, and the matter of transferring troops and reprimanding generals is actually arranged by Guo Jia.

"What's the trick of Feng Xiao, come quickly!" He Xian said eagerly.

Guo Jia glanced at He Xian, as if to say, "Do you think the trick is cabbage and radish?" Say it! ”

"If you want to solve the problem of the Black Mountain Army, you must first solve the problem of Youzhou Mu Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan, the commander of the cavalry!" Guo Jia continued.

"Youzhou Mu?" This time it was He Xian's turn to be dumbfounded. In He Xian's impression, the state pastor should have been proposed by Liu Yan in the fifth year of Zhongping. As a member of the Han family, Liu Yan was uneasy and kind from the beginning. He used "assassination history, too shou bribing officials, exploiting the people, and causing the people to rebel and leave." Those honest and honest officials of the court and central government should be selected to serve as local governors of prefectures and counties, and on the grounds of guarding and stabilizing the world, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty should be asked to restore the state pastoral system and invite himself to be the pastor of Yizhou. Yizhou, the land of abundance, is the most suitable for self-defense. In fact, Liu Yan did the same thing after Mu Yizhou. He sent Zhang Lu to entrench in Hanzhong, cut off traffic, and beheaded the Han envoys who came to Yizhou, and since then Yizhou has been blocked from the central road.

The history of the assassin was originally only responsible for supervision in the Han Dynasty, and the rank was no more than 600 stones. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the power of the assassin gradually expanded to all aspects such as people's livelihood and personnel promotion, and the rank was raised to 2,000 stones, which was higher than that of the county guards. The change of the history of assassination to the state pastor not only established the power of the state pastor in terms of people's livelihood and personnel, but more importantly, the state pastor has the power to recruit troops and exercise military operations!

Grab the military and political power! The state pastoral system has always been considered to be the key to the troubled times of the late Han Dynasty!

Liu Yan is the initiator, and it is unknown what role Liu Yu played in this.

"Liu Yan Mu Yizhou, Liu Yu Mu Youzhou, Liu Dai Mu Yanzhou, Huang Wan Mu Yuzhou. Except for Huang Wan, the other three are all royal relatives. And Youzhou Mu Liu Yu has now taken office! It's in Jixian County! Guo Jia continued to explain.

It seems that with the arrival of He Xian, the butterfly effect has come into play. Liu Yumu's time in Youzhou was actually advanced by one year! And Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan are completely wrong on the issue of treating foreign races. During the turbulent times at the end of the Han Dynasty, Youzhou was basically the battlefield of Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu.

"Liu Yu once served as the assassin of Youzhou, and he was lenient and benevolent, and he has always adopted a soft policy towards the Xiongnu, Wuhuan and other ethnic groups, advocating appeasement! This time towards the rebels, Liu Yu's attitude was also to negotiate, give enough benefits to the Wuhuan clan, and kill Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju. On the contrary, Gongsun Zhan, the commander of the cavalry, has always had a tough attitude towards foreign races! It is rumored that Gongsun Zhan's biological mother died in the raids of the Wuhuan clan......"

"How many troops do you have under each of them now?" He Xian asked.

"Liu Yu's command is mainly county soldiers from various counties, with more than 30,000 people, but the combat power is not strong. Gongsun Chan has 10,000 foot soldiers and 3,000 cavalry, although the number is small, but the combat power is strong! ”

"If I send Liu Yu's county soldiers to Shanggu County to contain the Black Mountain Army, and I join forces with Gongsun Zhan to attack Zhang Ju to quell the rebellion, will I have a chance of winning?"

"If the tactics are used properly, defeating Zhang Ju should not be a problem! However, with the same strength, Liu Yu's county soldiers may not be able to stop the Montenegrin army. Or, the Montenegrin army made a detour to the back of our army, and Liu Yujun may not have the courage to intercept it. And once the Montenegrin army joins the battlefield, the balance of victory and defeat is not on our army's side...... "Guo Jia's implication is that you can't hand over your back to Liu Yu's county soldiers, it's unreliable!"

Dividing troops will not work. In other words, if He Xian wants to eliminate the Zhang Ju rebels, he must find a way to defeat the Montenegrin army first, otherwise the rear will be unstable!

"I have a plan, but I don't know if Lord Zhonglang dares to take risks?" Seeing He Xian's chaotic look, Guo Jia finally got to the point, with an underbeaten expression.

He Xian knew that Guo Jia was telling the truth, and this plan was definitely dangerous, but he couldn't refuse. Because this is an irresistible temptation, the current chaos in Youzhou, without Guo Jia's wisdom, He Xian really can't play alone.

The next day, Jixian County, Youzhou Prefecture Pastoral Mansion.

He Xian finally met this Han clan relative, Liu Yu, Liu Bo'an, the son of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Qiang, the son of Emperor Liu Xiu of the Han Dynasty. Liu Yu is not tall, has a delicate face, and looks upright and benevolent. Seeing He Xian visiting in the name of General Zhonglang, Liu Yu waited at the door early, without the slightest shelf of the state pastor, which made people feel good. But He Xian knows that this Youzhou Muda, who is known as "loyalty, benevolence, thrift and simplicity", is not so simple. According to historical records, after defeating Liu Yu, Gongsun Chan found that Liu Yu's wives were wearing gorgeous clothes, not patched old clothes like Liu Yu showed. There is a theory that Liu Yu deliberately washed his clothes and washed them, and then won a reputation for frugality and simplicity. If that's the case, this Liu Youzhou is amazing! It can be directly rated as the first marketing master in the late Han Dynasty!

Today, Liu Yu didn't wear patched clothes, but his official uniform was also a little white.

After the two saluted, they came to the living room of the governor's mansion and sat down.

"General Zhonglang is visiting, but for the sake of the rebels?" Liu Yu was open and fair.

"I'm ashamed! It has been more than three months since the arrival of Youzhou, but the counterinsurgency has not progressed for a long time! Some time ago, I went to Jizhou and recruited some warriors, but there was no good way. I heard that the state pastor took office, so I came to ask for advice! He Xian lowered his posture, and explained by the way why he was not in Youzhou some time ago. As the former head snake in Youzhou, He Xian believed that Liu Yu had long known that He Xian was not in the military camp some time ago. Including Gongsun Zhan, he must also know about this matter.

Liu Yu didn't say anything, just stroked his beautiful hair, and said sincerely: "Don't dare to ask for advice!" Since Zhonglang will be willing to listen to the old man's opinion, the old man will also be blunt. The Wuhuan people are naturally fierce and have no fixed place to live on the grassland. The war with me was wasted on money and food, and it cost me the life of a young man in vain. It's not as good as Huairou! If he captures the first evil Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun, he will be exempted from the responsibility of rebellion, given him money, grain, cloth, and silk with high-ranking officials, and ordered him to withdraw from the Han land and return the grassland! ”

He Xian looked puzzled: "I have heard that the Wuhuan clan is stubborn and unintelligent. Is this gentle strategy likely to work? ”

As soon as Liu Yu heard that He Xian was moved, he continued: "A few years ago, the old man, as the assassin of Youzhou, had contacts with Qiu Liju, Lord Wuhuan of Liaoxi, Lord Wuhuan of Shanggu, Lord Wuhuan of Liaodong, Lord Wuhuan of Liaodong, and Lord Wuyan of Youbeiping, all of whom had dealings, and they could be strongly persuaded!" If the Wuhuan clan is stubborn and refuses to retreat, the old man still has a plan! Xianbei is a man who is loyal and righteous, and has some friendship with the old man. We might as well ask the Xianbei clan to come forward and exert pressure! This is called a plan to drive away the wolf! ”

"Chase away the wolf, a big-headed ghost!" He Xian scolded secretly in his heart, "It's easy to please God, it's hard to send God!" Ruozhen invited the Xianbei clan to mediate the conflict, so that they could see that my big man was so weak, and he picked up the weapon in his hand in minutes and joined the robbery team! Tiger and wolf together, how to resist at that time?! ”
