Juyongguan is covered with snow, but the plains of Ueya-gun are not covered with thick snow, so secret weapons such as snowboards and sleds are not available for the time being. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Fengxiao, how did you know that Zou Jing must have Liu Yu's spies by his side?" He Xian asked Guo Jiadao, who was riding side by side.

Guo Jia stretched his waist, soothed his muscles, and replied lazily: "It's very simple!" Politicians like Liu Yu are not accustomed to handing over their power to their subordinates without reservation, and among them, there must be people who check and balance. This person, perhaps more than one person, was originally prepared for Qi Zhou. However, Qi Zhou was accidentally killed by us, and Zou Jing inherited the county soldiers left by Qi Zhou, and the target of the spy was naturally changed to Zou Jing. ”

"Do all of you big families say this?" He Xian scoffed.

"This is the so-called way of the Emperor! When the power of a family develops to a certain extent, the head of the family uses a strategy in order to better control the overall situation and prevent the situation of a big tail! Guo Jia was not ashamed, but proud, "Liu Yu is a prince and nobleman, and his bloodline is inherited from Liu Qiang, the son of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Qiang, the son of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, and he is naturally very proficient in these methods!" ”

"Don't be suspicious of employing people, don't use suspicious people! Why bother? He Xian was dismissive of this action.

Guo Jia glanced at He Xian and said, "That's because your He family has not been inherited for one generation, and you can't understand the various problems brought about by the huge family." People's hearts are separated from each other, even if they are blood relatives, there are still intrigues, how can you ensure the loyalty of outsiders to you? The most unpredictable thing in the world is the human heart! Therefore, those in high positions believe more in the way of checks and balances rather than the ethereal emotional bonds. ”

What Guo Jia said seemed to make sense, but He Xian couldn't find too good reasons to refute it. But in his heart, He Xian is still willing to believe in emotions a little more. He prefers to believe in loyalty, friendship, affection and love. Because whether it is in the past life or in this life, He Xian is a dick in his bones.

He Xian, who couldn't find a reason, had to look up at the sky at forty-five degrees, today, there is no snow in Shanggu County.

It is said that Elder Hou Qu under Zou Jing left Juyong Pass in the starry night, and rushed all the way to Ji County, Guangyang County, to meet Liu Yu and inform him of this important news.

Hearing the news that He Xian was preparing to lead an army to raid the Wuhuan King's tent in the cold winter, Liu Yu immediately wondered if the old marquis in front of him was crazy? Since ancient times, no soldiers have been raised in the cold winter season, especially the Han army, which has not entered the grassland even if it is killed. Then how can He Xian and He De risk the world's disapproval?

So, Lao Hou showed him He Xianjun's full set of cold-proof clothes! Especially the boots wrapped in animal skins on the outside and lined with cotton on the inside, especially suitable for the northern winter! There are also a pair of thick cotton gloves, the warmth effect is first-class, and you can handle the weapon smoothly! Liu Yu realized that He Xian had been prepared for a long time! At least, months ago, he was ready to send troops in the winter!

However, just in case, Liu Yu still sent a large number of fast horses to confirm the itinerary of He Xianjun's army along the counties along the line from Shanggu to Youbeiping. I don't know if I don't know, I'm shocked when I explore! He Xian led 5,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and after leaving Shanggu County, he did not follow the established route all the way to the east, but suddenly turned north and entered Yuyang County.

Liu Yu hurriedly informed Qiu Liju, the Wuhuan Lord of Liaoxi County, of this news through his own channels!

Liaoxi County, as fat as a city, was once the county guard, and now it is the nest of the rebels.

The brazier in the hall was burning vigorously, and there was no sense that it was the cold winter season in the Northland. Since the first snow fell today in Liaoxi County, the rebels of Feiru no longer sent troops to harass Youbeiping County, and they are in a state of recuperation. Hiding in the fortified city to drink and have fun has become the main theme of the life of the generals under Zhang Chun and Qiu Liju. And the unlucky Zhang Ju, as early as three months ago, led 30,000 soldiers under his command to attack Liaodong, but has not succeeded so far. Every time there was a banquet, Zhang Ju became the target of insults from Zhang Chun and Qiu Liju, scolding him for being incompetent and not understanding military strategy. If you lead the troops yourself, how to fight, how to win. In short, it's fun to play with mouth guns, and everyone will.

"Report~" Just as the wine had passed three rounds, the dishes had passed five flavors, and the alcohol was on the head, a terrible alarm sounded outside the house.

The gate of the county guard's mansion was pushed open, and a knight dressed in Wuhuan costume, with the cold wind and residual snow, walked into the hall quickly, his face was extremely unsightly, as if the sky was about to fall!

Everyone in the mansion couldn't help but shiver, I don't know if it was because of the cold air brought by the Wuhuan Knight, or the ominous feeling that suddenly rose in their hearts.

The Wuhuan knight trotted all the way to the front of Qiu Liju, knelt down on one knee and hugged his fists and said, "My lord, my subordinates have important military intelligence reports!" “

"Report it!"

"My lord, it's about the Wuhuan Royal Court!" The Wuhuan Knight hesitated.

"What?" Qiu Liju was immediately shocked. The so-called Wuhuan royal court is actually a thing that Wuhuan imitated the Xiongnu Shan Yu royal court. There has been no great unity between the Wuhuan tribes, and now among the Wuhuan tribes in the border grasslands of the Han Dynasty, Qiu Liju, the Wuhuan Lord of Liaoxi, is the most powerful, with nearly 9,000 subordinate accounts. A tent of the grassland people is a household, that is, a family. The population of a household is large and small, with an average of about 3-6 people. There are more than 1,000 accounts (households) in large tribes and hundreds of accounts (households) in small tribes. In other words, Qiu Liju has more than ten large tribes under his command, with a population of nearly 40,000, and is definitely the most powerful tribe in Wuhuan.

In addition to the Qiuli residence department in western Liaoning, there is also the Wuhuan Lord Nanlou of Shanggu County, with more than 5,000 subordinate accounts, claiming to be the king of the difficult building; Liaodong subordinate state Wuhuan Lord Su Fuyan, subordinate to more than 1,000 accounts, self-proclaimed King Qiao, right Beiping Wuhuan Lord Wuyan, subordinate to more than 800 accounts, self-proclaimed King Khanlu. Qiu Liju did not claim the title of king, but faintly took the other three parts, and regarded himself as the king of kings. His tribe occupies the most fertile area of water and grass outside the Saiwai: Red Mountain!

Wuhuan people, the transliteration of Ulan, Mongolian "Ulan" is the meaning of "red", so in the "Hou Han Shu Wuhuan Biography" also called Wuhuan Mountain as the Red Mountain. After the Wuhuan people died, they burned their clothes and killed dogs to martyrdom, so that the gods of the dead returned to the Red Mountain. Chishan should be the origin of Wuhuan's ancestors, and the history records that it is "thousands of miles from the east and west of Liao", which is now the Harbin generation. Later, due to the defeat of the Xiongnu by the Han Dynasty, Wuhuan expressed his submission, so he moved south to the Xilamulun River Basin, and set up a red mountain to commemorate, which is now the Chifeng area of Inner Mongolia!

Since Qiu Liju is the king of kings in Wuhuan, he naturally occupies this blessed land and holy land and sets up his own royal court! Now, Qiu Liju has led more than 10,000 Wuhuan in his headquarters, and 5,000 cavalry from the other three kings, a total of 15,000 cavalry stationed in Feirucheng to rebel. If in other seasons, the tribes under his command are still scattered in the valley of the Xilamulun River, so as not to be served in one pot. But now it's winter, and all the forces under the command of Qiu Liju are gathered in Chishan. The Red Mountains are used as a barrier to shield from the cold winds from Siberia. And now most of the people left in Chishan are the old and weak women and children in the clan, and there are less than 5,000 strong soldiers. Once attacked, the consequences are unimaginable! I can't tolerate Qiu Liju not being able to change color!
