When everyone heard it, this was a typical Gao Yue style. Once the formal meeting is held, there is no nonsense, and everyone is used to the straightforward routine, so they hurriedly pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

"As everyone knows, in the past two years or so, our army has not had any major wars, and it has just been bent on seeking vigorous development. At present, the land of the Hetao, in addition to Xiazhou is already a rock, the land of the Hetao, has also been completely under the control of our army, half a year ago, has been prepared to build a state, and now the widow has officially decided to go to the Hetao area, with the land of four counties, the establishment of Shuozhou, the state of Mancheng. But in the past six months, Liu Hu seems to have gasped again, and often went south from Mobei to harass and plunder at my border. Therefore, the state officials such as Assassin Shi must not only stabilize the situation in the state, but also find an opportunity to take the initiative to attack Mobei, and must completely exterminate Liu Hu and truly return Qingning to the north. Specific candidates will be appointed at a later date. ”

Everyone's hearts jumped together. Consciously qualified, prestige, and skills are impossible to meet the standard, with the psychology of watching the excitement, curious guessing, which one can become the third assassin of the Qin State; Thinking that he was a little reliable, his mind was turbulent and tumbling, and he was worried about whether he would be chosen, and it was when he was thinking about the gains and losses that Gao Yue opened his mouth again.

"Second thing. In the past few years, Shi Le defeated Duan Xianbei in the northeast, took Youzhou as his own, and went south to defeat the opposition Cao Wei, and took Qingzhou into his pocket again. Now, he began to plot to seize Liu Yao's land in Henan, and it is reported that not long ago, Shi Hu was just dispatched to capture the Tiger Pass. Where is Liu Yao willing to give up, personally led 80,000 elite soldiers, stationed in Luoyang, between the two sides, there is no doubt that a big war will break out soon. ”

Below, Yang Ke got Gao Yue's signal, and stood up and continued: "What the lord said is very true. Ladies and gentlemen, at present, Shi Le is taking advantage of the death of Zu Yuzhou not long ago, and is bent on attacking Yuzhou and Huainan, so Shi Zhao's troops in Luoyang are not very strong, and he is currently guarding the Tiger Prison and not attacking for the time being, so that Liu Yao can gain the upper hand. It is precisely because Erzhao is holding each other in the east of Luoyang that this gives our army a good opportunity to take advantage of the weakness to move, and the lord plans to take the opportunity to take the entire territory of Yongzhou. ”

Gao Yue nodded and said, "In the near future, I plan to personally lead 20,000 horses and horses to the garrison of Qianxian County in Fufeng County, and work with Hu Qing in Yongzhou to formulate a specific military plan. ”

Hu Song heard it in his ears, it was really a big matter related to him, and he couldn't help but straighten his body. But I heard Gao Yue say again: "That's right. In the past two years, I have not had any war with him Liu Yao, so I am bored to develop my strength, and he is also seizing the time to expand eastward, and now in addition to occupying the entire Sizhou, he has also conquered Xiyu Prefecture, so he and Shile broke out face-to-face. The reason why I kept Liu Yao for the time being was that I wanted to keep him to consume Shile and erode the future enemy for me, and secondly, because our army did not have the strength to destroy him in one fell swoop at that time. Now that he Liu Yao has made his family business bigger, then I must properly curb him, so as not to jump up in the future and be persecuted by him from time to time. ”

Gao Yue's gaze found Hu Song, and nodded to his approving general, "Attack the specific military of Yongzhou, and talk to Qing separately later." Now let's talk about the third point, which the widow considers to be the most important task at present. ”

Facing everyone's awe-inspiring gaze, Gao Yue said solemnly: "Some of them have causes and consequences, let the widow talk about them carefully." ”

It turned out that not long ago, the assassin of Jinliang Prefecture suddenly died of illness in office. Zhou Wannai was a famous general at that time, resolute and resolute, quiet and wise, for the Eastern Jin Dynasty to resist the southern invasion of foreign races in the north, to destroy all kinds of thieves and rebels in the territory, outstanding achievements, leading the Liangzhou Assassin History to sit in Xiangyang, for the imperial court to pacify Jingxiang and the land of Liangzhou in the west. He is like a needle in the sea, not only is the situation in the jurisdiction stable, but even the arrogant and domineering minister Wang Dun has never dared to make trouble because of his concern for Zhou's reputation and strong military power.

Liangzhou under the jurisdiction of Zhou visited Qinzhou to the north and Chengguo of Bashu to the south. Gao Yue and Zhou visited and exchanged letters, and because they were both feudal towns that supported the imperial court to resist aggression, the relationship between the two families was not bad, and they had been peaceful. Now that Zhou Wan has died, leaving a huge vacuum, it has caused a chain reaction from all sides.

The powerful minister Jingzhou assassinated Shi Wang Dun, and immediately annexed Zhou's army with both soft and hard measures, and completely took the Jingbei area as his own, moved the town of Xiangyang, and completely controlled the upper reaches of the Yangtze River in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. And the land of Liangzhou, Hanzhong Prefecture, was ownerless for a while, but it was quickly occupied by an unexpected person, but it was Chen An, who had disappeared for a long time.

Since Chen An was defeated by Gao Yue, he escaped from Fufeng County, and even ran out of Yongzhou directly, and took 5,000 old troops to Shiquan County, a small city in Weixing County, south of Yongzhou, at the junction of Jingliang and Weixing County.

At that time, the history of Liangzhou was Zhou's visit. Chen An wrote to Zhou for the first time, and sincerely expressed that he was a former official of the imperial court and an old general of Nanyang. He has always been loyal to the country but his luck is not good, and now he is squeezed out by Gao Yue, the assassin of Qinzhou, and has to come to the territory of Liangzhou, temporarily live here, ask Zhou to accept, and said that as long as Zhou Yu agrees, he is willing to be the vanguard of Zhou Yu's conquest of the north and south.

Zhou Yu didn't know what was going on, and he didn't know much about Gao Yue and Chen An's past grievances. After receiving Chen An's letter, seeing that he was loyal and obedient in his heart, as if he had no way to serve the country, Zhou Yu accepted Chen An and appointed him as Wei Xing's Taishou. Not only that, because the northwest of Weixing County borders Shiping County of Yongzhou, the sphere of influence of the Qin State, Zhou Yu also wrote a letter to Gao Yue, sincerely interceding for Chen An, asking Gao Yue to see the overall situation of unanimity with the outside world, so as to let Chen An go and allow him to make meritorious contributions.

Originally, for a long time, although Gao Yue and Liu Yao did not break out into a big war, local small disputes continued one after another. Today, one county is lost, and tomorrow two cities will be attacked, and it is precisely the major event that will focus on stabilizing the situation of Yongzhou. Chen An's whereabouts after being defeated and escaping, Gao Yue inquired through the internal office, and it was not that he didn't know, but he couldn't take care of him at that time. When he could free up his hands to clean him up, he unexpectedly said that he had moved Zhou Yu with clever words.

Gao Yue was resentful of Chen An's shady tricks. However, because of the reason for the scruple of visiting Zhou, it was not good to refuse coldly, and he brazenly sent troops to the border of Liangzhou, which led to the fact that for the remnants of Chen An's mere forces, he had to tear his face with a powerful feudal town in the same camp and fight in vain, which was really worth the loss. So Gao Yue did a favor and let Chen An go for the time being.

Just as Gao Yue was wholeheartedly developing the Beihetao and sorting out all kinds of clues to prepare for the establishment of the state, Zhou Yu died of illness. Chen An reacted immediately, he took Weixing County as the foundation, and suddenly sent troops to the west and occupied Hanzhong County. So he moved to Xinzheng City, the capital of Hanzhong, and then submitted a letter of surrender to Chengguo in the south, so he succeeded the general of the Xiongnu Han State and the border county Taishou of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and became a courtier of Chengguo in a blink of an eye.

Chengguo was a secession regime established by the Li clan, a displaced person of the Di nationality in the Bashu area, in the last years of the Western Jin Dynasty. Today, the monarch of Chengguo, Li Xiong, the son of the first great leader Li Te, has been in power for fifteen years, carefully governing Bashu, and the territory is also considered peaceful, which is regarded as a pure land in troubled times. After the stability of Shudi, Li Xiong was no longer satisfied with closing the door to be the emperor, but also wanted to try and expand the territory. However, the land of Qin and Liang in the north was regarded as the feudal towns of the Jin court, and their strength was very strong, so Li Xiong had no choice but to close his door and wait and see what happened.

It happened that Chen An took the initiative to come down, and Li Xiong was very excited in addition to being surprised. Compared with Chen An, Li Xiong was even more pleased to be able to obtain the land of the two counties of Liangzhou without spending a single soldier. So Li Xiong appointed Chen An as the assassin of Jingzhou, summoned him to Chengdu first, and at the same time asked the clan Zitong to guard Li Zhi to meet Chen An in advance, and then quickly sent Li Feng, the general of the clan Pingkou, to assassinate Liangzhou, and led 6,000 troops to prepare to go north to take over Hanzhong and Weixing.

But what kind of person is Chen An, how could he honestly hand over the territory that he had finally obtained, and then go to Chengdu alone, and live a dangerous life without soldiers and power. He wrote to Li Xiong and wrote to Li Feng, anyway, all kinds of complaints, shirks, and loyalty, revealing his resolute intention to defend the northern frontier for Dacheng, in fact, it shows that he is not willing to give up the land of Hanzhong at all.

After all, Chen Anyuan came to join him, and he did not rebel, Li Xiong was not good at immediately reprimanding him, and even turned his face to crusade. And his personality itself is also generous, so on the one hand, he ordered Li Feng to temporarily suspend the army, and on the other hand, he temporarily made a false accusation. The two sides were still bargaining, and the detailed explanation of the current situation in Hanzhong had been sent to Gao Yue's desk by the internal government.

Reading the report, Gao Yue first closed his eyes and pondered, and when he opened his eyes, he had already made up his mind that this time he would be regarded as a lion fighting a rabbit, and he would completely get rid of Chen An no matter what, and then snatch Liangzhou into his hands in one fell swoop. So he quickly summoned Yang Ke, and the two talked in detail face-to-face, and then formulated a series of preliminary plans.
