In June of the third year of Jianxing, Wei Shuo convened his confidants and border generals in the Zhenbei General's Mansion to hold a joint meeting of the military and government before the expedition.

First of all, in terms of internal affairs, Youzhou Mu Weishuo demanded that the pastoral government must make persistent efforts to raise this year's fiscal revenue to a new level on the basis of a bumper harvest of industry, agriculture, and commerce for three consecutive years.

Especially after the recovery of Changli and Liaoxi, in order to build economic integration in Youping as soon as possible, the pastoral government is determined to implement the 'Five-Year Plan' from the second half of this year.

The 'Five-Year Plan' gathered the wisdom of a large number of talents from Liaodong, such as Wei Shuo, Pei Wei, Gao Zhan, and Mo Han, and took countless painstaking efforts to formulate, and it is the governing guide and goal of the pastoral government in the next five years.

First, in order to bring Youping's agriculture to a higher level, the pastoral government plans to build nine more water conservancy projects in various places to fully utilize the water resources in Youping and build Youping into a granary like the Central Plains.

Second, with the gradual completion of the Taoist teachings in various counties, the medical security system that Wei Shuo had been planning for a long time could finally be fully launched. The first batch of scholars to graduate from medical school will be responsible for the implementation of the system, along with Taoist priests who are skilled in medical skills. The purpose of the health care system was to improve the health of the population, prevent the outbreak of plague, and reduce the frighteningly high infant mortality rate in ancient times.

Third, we will continue to encourage the development of industry and commerce and maritime trade, and encourage families and merchants to invest in the construction of various workshops.

Fourth, within five years, we will overhaul roads, bridges and other infrastructure in Youyan, and according to the plan, in the second half of this year, we will start to build the main artery from Jicheng to Xiangping, which runs through the east and west.

After talking about political affairs, we moved on to military issues, and this meeting was nominally a joint military-political meeting, but in fact the focus was still on the military, and since Wei Shuo had already decided to move troops into the customs, this meeting could also be regarded as a pre-war mobilization meeting.

Wei Shuo sat on it and said, "Let the secretary and supervisor Feng Yi introduce the situation to you first!" ”

Feng Yi, the secretary and supervisor, quickly stood up and said: "Let's talk about Guanzhong first, Liu Yao led his troops out of Hedong from Pingyang in May of the third year of Jianxing. First Ke Feng Yi, then trapped Feng Yi, and then forced Chang'an, all the reinforcements in Guanzhong were afraid of the Xiongnu and did not dare to move forward, fortunately, Liu and Wen two generals threatened Liu Yao from the rear, which temporarily stabilized the situation in Guanzhong. ”

"Next, let's talk about Hedong. Since General Beigong came to vote, Liaodong has strengthened its surveillance of Hedong. Recently, Liu Cong did another ridiculous thing, he married Jin Zhun's two daughters, Jin Yueguang and Jin Yuehua, and respectively established Jin Yueguang as the queen, Liu Guifei as the left queen, and Jin Yuehua as the right queen. ”

Liu Cong's absurd move after the establishment of the third was strongly opposed by Chen Yuanda, a veteran minister, and others. Chen Yuanda even asked Liu Cong to depose his queen on the grounds of Jin Yueguang's misconduct, but he didn't expect Jin Yueguang to be strong, so he committed suicide in shame and resentment, which made Liu Cong resentful of Chen Yuanda. ”

And Jin Zhun relied on his daughter to take the throne and gradually won the trust of Liu Cong and Liu Cang's father and son. According to reliable intelligence analysis. Jin Zhun is an ambitious person, and once he grasps the power of the Han Kingdom, he will definitely bring disaster to Pingyang. It can be said that Jin Zhun's ascension to the throne and Chen Yuanda's loss of power marked the decline of the Xiongnu Han State, and buried the hidden worries of civil strife. ”

Hearing this, Wei Shuo couldn't help but speak: "Everyone, it can be seen from this that even if the main force of the Liaodong Army enters Guanzhong in the west and protects itself with the current strength of the Xiongnu and Han Kingdoms, it is powerless to threaten Liaodong. The only one who can be worried is Xiangguo Shile, since the killing of Wang Jun. Shi Le was assisted by Zhang Bin to run Jizhou, and now its momentum is growing and increasingly threatening the safety of Youzhou. ”

"It's not for nothing that the lord is worried. According to the scout's report, Shile has frequently moved troops to Changshan County recently, and his intention is unknown! ”

Gao Zhan touched his chin and said with a determined expression: "From the point of view below, Shi Le's concentration of troops in Changshan is not to get involved in Youzhou, as we all know, from Changshan to the north, you must climb over the entire Heng Mountain, the only shortcut is to guard the Flying Fox at the junction of Heng Mountain, Taihang Mountain, and Yan Mountain." Now the Flying Fox is under the control of my Youzhou. With the wisdom of Shi Le and Zhang Bin, they will definitely not forcibly attack the Flying Fox. ”

"Well, I also agree with Jing Qian's opinion, the cost of attacking the Flying Fox is too great, and if you don't fully grasp Shile, you will definitely not take the risk, on the contrary, I am a little worried about Shangai County on the west side of Taihang Mountain."

Mo Han stood up and walked to the map. Pointing to one of the eight Taihang Jingcheng and said: "Starting from Jingcheng County, Changshan County, through one of the eight Jingcheng, you can cross the Taihang Mountain and reach Shangai County in the west of Leping Kingdom, as long as you take Shangai County, Shile is equivalent to opening the door to Dingxiang in the north, and Liu Gong will lose the entire Taihang Tianxian." ”

"Therefore, the minister thinks that Shi Le's concentration of troops in Changshan is not intended to be in Youzhou, and his target must be Liu Gong of Jinyang!"

After Mo Hanyi said, Wei Shuo remembered that this was not the famous Battle of Leping in history, and it was through the Battle of Leping that Shi Le completely defeated Liu Kun and drove him out of the state. And Wei Xiong and Ji Tang were also killed in this battle, and the two of them lost all the troops they brought from the Tuoba tribe.

In history, the reason why Liu Kun was defeated was that in addition to not listening to the good words of Wei Xiong and Ji Tang, which led to the elite main force being ambushed by Shi Le and losing everything, his long history Li Hong took advantage of Liu Kun's army to surrender to Shi Le.

Wei Shuo thought about the Leping War in history, and secretly made up his mind that he must remind Liu Kun and let him strengthen the vigilance of Jingcheng Pass and beware of Shile's sneak attack.

Shi Le's plot against Liu Kun was not too unexpected in Liaodong, since the Yanmen Pass Alliance, the Youhe Alliance has become a problem for Shi Le's henchmen. But Youzhou's strength is strong, and it is not a momentary profit, so it aims at Jinyang as the primary target of conquest.

In Shi Le's view, as long as Jinyang is eliminated and Liu Kun is not in charge, the alliance will disperse without a fight, and Xiangguo will no longer have to face the enemy's pressure.

"During the expedition to Guanzhong, I intend to transfer the six-compartment foot rider to Fanyang and Daijun just in case, what do you think?"

"The lord is wise!"

Although most people believed that Shi Le's goal was Shangai County, Leping County, no one dared to pat their chests and guarantee that this was not Shi Le's trick, so they all agreed that Wei Shuo would strengthen the forces of Fanyang and Daijun.

"Zizhuan, let's talk about the situation in the Central Plains!"

"No! Last month, Li Ju's troops in the Central Plains won another battle, and Guo Mo, the Taishou of Hanoi appointed by Liu Kun, was coerced by Liu Cong and had no choice but to go south to seek refuge in Sizhou's assassin Li Ju. As a result, with the help of Li Ju and Zhang Zhao, who joined the army of Sikong Mansion, the tripartite cooperation secretly sent soldiers to cross the Yellow River in small boats to attack Huaicheng at night and attack the camp left behind by the Huns, and won a complete victory, thwarting Liu Cong's attempt to occupy Hanoi and Xingyang. ”

Lu Chang sneered when he heard this: "Hiss! I didn't expect Liu Cong to be able to toss, on the one hand, he let Liu Yao's army attack Guanzhong, and on the other hand, he sent his younger brother Liu Chang to attack Xingyang, didn't he know that the reckless army was going to destroy the country? ”

"Humph! The more he tosses, the better, if he doesn't toss, how can Liaodong have a chance to regain lost territory? ”

Wei Shuo continued: "Now Liu Cong is planning to destroy Chang'an and establish a world-famous meritorious service, and pay Liu Yao the elite of the Huns, but he doesn't know that Liu Yao's wolf ambition has already planned to occupy Guanzhong and stand on his own. In addition, there are many internal crises in the Xiongnu and Han Kingdoms, if Liaodong can seize the fighter and defeat it, not only can he recover the land of Guanlong, but also conquer Pingyang and destroy Liu Cong! ”

"Guanzhong is different from the Central Plains, during which the situation of Hu and Han mixed living is complicated, and those famous people in Jiangzuo are never willing to go to Guanzhong to compete with us for territory, so there is no need to worry about causing the outside world to covet after the battle."

Everyone here is a smart and clever person, and naturally understands the deep meaning of the words, Liaodong is not in a hurry to go south to Hebei and the Central Plains because with its current strength, it is simply unable to monopolize the great benefits brought by going south to the Central Plains and recovering the old capital. Therefore, Liaodong still needs the existence of Shile for the time being, in order to deter enemies everywhere.

It is different when it enters Guanzhong in the west, which has experienced many wars, and in the eyes of the family, it is no different from the wild land on the border.

However, Wei Shuo attaches great importance to Guanzhong, although Guanzhong is tired, but the foundation is there, as long as he takes a little rest and tidying up, he will be able to reproduce the glory of the Qin and Han dynasties.

Besides, after taking Guanzhong, Wei Shuo can also spy on Liangzhou, Hexi, the Western Regions and other places, and even go south to Hanzhong and Shu through Chencang, and then become a strong Qin.

As long as he occupies Guanzhong, plus the two places, even if Shi Le takes the Central Plains in the future, Wei Shuo will not have any worries. (To be continued.) )
