The Liaodong Army was overwhelmed on various battlefields and won victory after victory, and a large number of Hu heroes such as Murong Diao, Duan Mobo, and Liu Yao were defeated by Wei Shuo one by one.

Although Hu Lu still has some advantages on the whole, most people with lofty ideals have seen that Hu Lu has not been arrogant for long. And it has been a long time since there has been news of Hu Lu's massacre of Jin people in various places, not because Hu Lu has changed his sex, but because he is afraid of being retaliated against by General Zhenbei in the future.

Even the tyrannical Qiang people had to restrain themselves under the constraints of Shile, which shows the prestige of Wei Shuo!

As the Liaodong Army became more and more powerful, the chaos that had intensified since Yongjia gradually showed signs of subsidence.

However, even so, Shile still did not lose his ambition to dominate the world, and still firmly believed that he was destined to return.

It's just that the situation in various places is indeed not as favorable as in the Yongjia period, and the Xiongnu Han State, which was still the hegemon of the world in the first two years, has reached the end of the road, and the Han State has sent people to Xiangguo for help many times, but Shile was unmoved.

It's not that Shile doesn't miss the old feelings, but he can see clearly that the Huns are finished! There was no need to rescue at all.

Since the two battles of Shangjun and Yangqu last year, the Liaodong Army has eliminated all the elite of the Huns. Don't look at the Huns, they still occupy several counties such as Xihe, Shangdang, Pingyang, and Hedong, but they are already at the end of their strong crossbows.

Shi Le believed that as long as the Liaodong Army launched a fatal blow next year, Pingyang would inevitably be lost, and it was a foregone conclusion that Liaodong would be restored and annexed to the state.

No matter how powerful Shi Le was, he didn't think that Xiangguo could save the panicked Han State, and he didn't want to spend his troops on the meaningless battlefield of Bingzhou.

"My lord, according to the scout's report, as soon as the New Year ended, Liaodong began to move troops to Yanmen and Xinxing, hoarding grain, grass, and armor. There are all kinds of signs that as soon as the weather warms up, the Liaodong army will attack the Han State. ”

Kui An was an early follower of Shiler, a man of intelligence and talent, who was not only insightful in military affairs, but also second to none in political affairs, and became Shiler's most relied on right-hand man along with Zhang Bin.

"Hmm. What should come will come after all! Alas, I didn't expect that since the seventh year of Yongjia, the Han State captured Luoyang, and its momentum reached its peak, but only four or five years have passed, and the Han Kingdom will come to an end! ”

"At that time, a certain and Ji Sang Mu Shuai discussed the world and thought that the Hu people should be prosperous, and a certain person joined the army to follow the first emperor Liu Yuan. Who knew that when the hegemony was not successful, the first emperor Liu Yuan actually died before he left the school. Since then, although the great cause of the Han Kingdom has flourished for a while, it is difficult to hide the trend of declining day by day, and now it is even more declining. ”

Kui An was also gloomy when he heard this, no one expected that it would only be four or five years. The Han State lost the momentum and courage of the original attack on the imperial capital and the capture of the Jin Emperor. At that time, Hulu from all over the world was ready to move, and they were all ready to take advantage of the decline of the Jin dynasty to divide the Quartet.

However, just when Hu Lu was dreaming about it in various places, Wei Shuo actually started from running a cold place - Liaodong, and pacified the chaos in all directions step by step, successively defeating Duan Ji Lu Jun, Duan Mobo, Murong Diao, and Liu Yao, and now he has become a prince who makes all forces feel sideways.

"Lord, this is a letter from Pingyang asking for help. So far, thirteen groups of emissaries have arrived. In order to let Xiangguo send troops, the Han Emperor enshrined the lord as the king of Zhao. Gee! It seems that the Han Kingdom has really reached the end of the road. ”

Hum! The corners of Shiler's mouth twitched. casually threw Liu Cong's will aside, and he didn't even have the interest to take a look.

"I will clearly tell you that the strategic focus of Xiangguo next year is still in Qingzhou, and Le will never go to the troubled waters of Han. In the future, if an envoy from the Han Kingdom comes, there is no need to report to me. You have been summoned here today to discuss the future strategic development of Xiangguo. ”

Scheller's words did not cause any commotion. Zhang Bin, Kui An, Guo Yin, Cheng Yao, Xu Guang, Guo Ao, etc. are all Shi Le's henchmen, and they have always regarded Shi Le's only horse as the leader, and they didn't take the Han Emperor in their eyes at all.

"My lord, Xiangguo is powerless to rescue Liu Cong, but he can't help but prevent Liaodong from rescuing Cao Wei by sea through the sailor."

When it comes to the sailor. The faces of the people of Xiangguo were dark, and Leling Shao continued to be able to persist under the blockade, relying on the help of the Liaodong Naval Division. Every once in a while, the Liaodong Navy Division brought a large amount of grain, grass and ordnance to Leling. Now that Qingzhou is in danger, Cao Wei will definitely ask Liaodong for help.

"I don't have a sailor in Xiangguo, even if I know it, I can't do anything!" In the face of the elusive Liaodong Sailor, even Zhang Bin, who couldn't count Zhang Liang in wisdom, was helpless.

Shi Le has been in a very bad mood recently, in fact, since he learned that the Liaodong Army had gone south to Yangqu, Shi Le's mood began to deteriorate. Originally, everything was planned, but the Liaodong Army that suddenly appeared was all disturbed.

The Liaodong Army's move south to annex states made Shile realize that an extremely formidable opponent was about to rise, and he had to re-examine his previous development strategy.

At the beginning, Shi Le and Zhang Bin set the strategic policy of going north to seize Jiyou as the foundation, and then going south to the Central Plains to compete for deer! But now, with the rise of the Liaodong Army in the land of Youyan, Shile had to change his previous strategic plan and refocus from Hebei to the Central Plains.

"Ladies and gentlemen, no matter how Liaodong reinforces Qingzhou, our Xiangguo must seize the entire Qingzhou before Liaodong goes down to the state and merges the state. And in order to ensure that there is no conflict with Liaodong, the army should not enter the territory of Leling for the time being. ”

"What?! Lord! ”

Everyone present was shocked when they heard Shi Le's command, since the turn to the world, Shi Le He had made such a weak move.

However, Shi Le continued: "Whether you understand it or not, I will never change it! ”

Zhang Bin was silent for a while, and suddenly his eyes flashed and said, "Is the lord planning to give up the strategy of going north to Youzhou and go south to the Central Plains again?" ”

Shi Le's eyes showed a hint of appreciation, and he said softly: "Meng Sun, who knows me!" Youyan in the north will clash with the strong enemy Liaodong, and the two tigers will fight, and there will be a loss! As a last resort, neither Wei Shuo nor Le will ever go to war with each other. Not surprisingly, in the next five to ten years, there will be no major war between Xiangguo and Liaodong. ”

"During this period, the center of gravity of Liaodong will be in the remote northwest places such as Monan, Guanzhong, Shudi, Hexi, and the Western Regions, while the center of gravity of our Xiangguo will be in the Central Plains, Huainan, Jiangzuo and other places, depending on who on both sides completes the conquest first."

"Lord, you ...... How do you know the strategic direction of Liaodong? Xu Guang and the others asked puzzled.

"Tacit understanding! This is the tacit understanding between me and Wei Shuo, as long as Xiangguo does not touch the bottom line of Liaodong, they will definitely not have a big conflict with Xiangguo, of which Shao Xu is one of the bottom lines of Liaodong. ”

Schler was so confident that he had to say that he guessed the right thing. Liaodong really has no intention of starting a war with Xiangguo immediately, both Shi Le and Wei Shuo know very well that starting a war too early can only benefit other forces, so Wei Shuo will run to Guanzhong in a hurry.

"In March next year, the main force of Xiangguo will go south to Qingzhou, you must do your best to go south to Qingzhou as soon as possible!"

"No!" And the people should get up.

……

Four years after entering Jianxing, under the stimulation of the Liaodong Army last year, forces in various places were ready to move.

Zu Ti, who is sitting in Huaiyin, is no exception, and plans to send troops to the north to Xuzhou. This time, Zu Ti did not ask King Langya for instructions at all, but directly sent an envoy to Liaodong, intending to obtain the will of the Son of Heaven in Chang'an with the help of Wei Shuo.

Since Zu Youxi took Yuzhou, the connection between King Langya and Zu Ti has been completely severed. And Zu Ti also figured it out, if you want to fight Hulu and regain the lost territory, you have to learn from Wei Shuo, and it is impossible to succeed by asking for instructions in everything.

Moreover, in Zu Ti's view, the Xiongnu Han Kingdom is crumbling, and Xiangguo Shile is trapped in Qingzhou, it can be said that this year's situation is very favorable to the Northern Expedition, and he is no longer willing to wait, even if he falls out with Jiang Zuo because of this matter.

Zu Ti can make such a big determination, in fact, it has nothing to do with Wei Shuo, without assistance from Liaodong, Zu Ti has no confidence to resist Jiang Zuo. It is precisely because of the existence of Liaodong aid that the means of King Langya to balance Huainan Qunhao are not as effective as in history.

Zu Ti's choice was strongly supported by Zu Yue, on the contrary, Zu should be a little hesitant. Zu should be worried that this move would annoy King Langya, so that Huaiyin would completely fall out with Jiang Zuo.

"Fall out, fall out! As long as the Northern Expedition is successful, why should my brother be afraid of King Langya if he owns Xu and Yu Prefectures? ”

Zu Yue was very disdainful of King Langya, and all he thought about was how to divide the place and expand the power of the ancestral family. (To be continued.) )
