"How's it going?" As soon as he returned to Feng Yi, Wei Shuo couldn't wait to learn about the latest situation.

"Back to the lord, it has been more than a month since the war, and Qingzhou, with the help of Shao Thorn Shi, has temporarily stabilized the situation, and the two sides have launched a fierce battle around the two counties of Le'an and Qi."

"Huh? I didn't expect Cao Wei to be very powerful! On the way, I was worried that Cao Wei would not be able to withstand it. ”

Wei Shuo was telling the truth, when Shi Hu attacked Qingzhou in history, Cao Wei's performance was very unbearable, and the Qingzhou army was basically defeated at the first touch, so that Hou Zhao easily took Qingzhou.

And in history, when Shi Hu attacked Qingzhou, Liu Kun, Wang Jun, and Shao Xu had been defeated one after another, and Later Zhao had replaced the Xiongnu Han State to become the overlord of the Central Plains at that time, occupying the land of the secluded and Ji Yanshu states, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers, plus Cao Wei had not been in battle for more than ten years, and he had long lost his sharpness.

At present, the outstanding performance of Qingzhou is inseparable from the current situation. Since the rise of Weishuo, the power of the Hu nationality is not as good as the next day. After the Battle of Guanzhong, under the influence of the Qingzhou family, Cao Wei chose anyway without hesitation, which is very revealing.

Moreover, Cao Wei is now in the prime of life, and has not completely lost the courage to fight, coupled with the support of Shao Xu and the family, it is not surprising that the Qingzhou army used the advantages of the city to block Shile's attack.

"Hehe, in recent years, Cao Tingshi has reaped a lot of benefits from Laoshan Trading Company, some of which have been squandered by him over the years, and some of them have been replaced with weapons and armor, and the Qingzhou Army is much stronger than Shile in terms of equipment alone. Although the will to fight is not as good as that of the Qian, it is not a problem to rely on the city to defend. ”

"Well, that's fine, it just bought us a lot of time! What's going on in the state? Did Liu Sikong send someone to ask for help? If the state comes to ask for help, no matter how difficult it is for me in Liaodong, I will have to draw troops to rescue Yangqu. The Huns were never allowed to unify and annex states. ”

Wei Shuo just asked casually, but everyone present was silent, and turned to look at Wen Qiao with an embarrassed face.

"Huh? What are you all looking at Tai Zhen for? Wei Shuo was a little puzzled.

Wen Qiao hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Eh...... Back to General Zhenbei, Liu Sikong has not yet asked for help from Liaodong? ”

"Oh? Don't have a call for help? That must be the Yangqu battle going well! That's fine, now that my Liaodong Army is tired, I just take this opportunity to rest. ”

Wei Shuo had a look of surprise on his face, and since the beginning of spring, the Liaodong Army has been fighting constantly. It's long overdue to take a break. Now that it has only been more than a month since the end of the Guanzhong War, the soldiers of the Xiangxiang army and government in various localities are seizing the time to carry out rectification and training, and if the situation of the Qingzhong War does not matter, he will not be in a hurry to send troops.

It's just that as soon as the words fell, Wei Shuo found that the embarrassment on Wen Qiao's face was even stronger, and he couldn't help asking, "What's the matter?" Could it be that there is something else in between? ”

Wen Qiao knew very well that there must be someone making trouble in the middle, which made Liu Kun hesitate to ask for help from Liaodong. In Liu Kun's shogunate, there was no shortage of people like Wen Qiao who had a good impression of Liaodong, and there were a large number of people who were dissatisfied with Wei Shuo. In the past, when Wen Qiao was there. You can also suppress each other.

Now that Wen Qiao went to Guanzhong, some family officials in the shogunate who were dissatisfied with Liaodong jumped out one after another, trying to get Bingzhou rid of the influence of Liaodong, which caused the current situation. Yangqu was already in danger, and Liaodong was also ready to help, but the annexed states were slow to ask Liaodong for help.

"Bastard! The family is really selfish! How dare you ignore the overall situation for your own selfishness? No, I will not allow them to succeed, and I will give my command: the army will go out to conquer the state immediately! I will send them all to the Great Heavenly Venerable. ”

Get the inside scoop on the details. Wei Shuo was furious. He didn't expect that the Bingzhou family would sacrifice everything in order to prevent Liaodong from entering the state.

But. From this incident, it can be seen that the families in various places have listed Liaodong as their biggest enemy, and they would rather the world be seized by Hulu than see the Liaodong policy implemented in the world.

"My lord, it's almost November, and the weather is starting to get colder, once winter comes. It would be significantly detrimental to military operations. In my opinion, since Liu Sikong doesn't want my Liaodong Army to be stationed in Yangqu, why do you want to force it? It is better to take this opportunity to put the soldiers in order and make a decision after the spring of next year. ”

Mo Han's words seem to be well-intentioned, but in fact, they are hidden mysteries. He also has no good impression of the Bingzhou family. I wish it was all in the hands of the Huns, so I wouldn't have to trouble Liaodong to deal with it myself in the future.

Pei Wei, Feng Yi, You Ziyuan, and Wen Qiao are all highly intelligent, how could they not hear the meaning of the words, most people tend to do it according to Mo Han's advice.

Only Wen Qiao's face changed, he glanced at Wei Shuo with some concern, and stopped talking: "General Wei, there are still more than 200,000 people in Yangqu and Dingxiang, once the Huns break through Yangqu, with the tyranny of the Hu people, I am afraid that none of them will be spared." ”

This is exactly what Wei Shuo is worried about, to be honest, don't say that the Bingzhou family is Liu Kun's life or death, he didn't care about it, but the 200,000 ordinary people in Dingxiang could never fall into the hands of the Hu people.

"What Taizhen said is very true, I don't care if the family lives or dies, but 200,000 people can't help it! However, Liu Sikong still needs to dredge it up, how about leaving Taizhen to you? ”

"No! Please rest assured that the general will live up to his trust. Wen Qiao hurriedly got up and agreed.

"Taizhen, I hope you will return to Dingxiang as soon as possible to meet Liu Gong, and strive to make Liu Gong change his mind! In addition, I will ask Shao Yuniang, who is stationed in Shanbei, to cooperate with you. ”

However, Wei Shuo didn't know that today's arrangement just gave Shao Yuniang the opportunity to show her skills and make her the most high-profile celebrity in the whole of China in one fell swoop.

……

On the surface, it seems that it was Changshi Li Hong who prevented Liaodong from entering Yangqu, but in fact, the masterminds behind it were the Yangqu Guo clan and the Jinyang Wang clan. Guo and Wang were dissatisfied with the policies being implemented by Liaodong, and would rather let Yangqu and Dingxiang fall into the hands of Hu Lu than let Liaodong interfere.

In fact, whether it is in the Xiongnu Han State or Shi Le's subordinates, there are a large number of Guo and Wang clans who work for the Hu people, and their official positions are not low, and some are even Liu Cong and Shi Le's henchmen.

For example, Guo Ao was originally the great-nephew of Guo Huai of Yangqu Guo, and later met Shi Le by chance and became one of the eighteen horsemen, and now he has gradually become Shi Le's henchman. Under his leadership, a large number of Guo children such as Guo Tai and Guo Shen joined the Xiangguo camp.

In the early years, Liu Yuan, as the leader of the Southern Xiongnu in the last years of the Western Jin Dynasty, was a proton in Luoyang, and at that time he had close ties with the high-level of the Western Jin Dynasty - the representative of the Jinyang Wang clan - Wang Hun and Wang Ji.

On the surface, the bond of this connection seems to be a continuation of the township party relationship, but in fact the relationship between the two is based on a certain mutual dependence: Liu Yuan needed to use the Wang family's position in the court to ensure the security of the family and win space for the development of the Southern Xiongnu; The Wang family needed Liu Yuan's military strength to ensure that the family's interests were not violated.

Moreover, today's Shile has changed his harsh treatment of the scholars in the past, and instead set up a 'gentleman's camp' to show preferential treatment, and also selected the scholars among them to serve as prominent figures. In addition, Shi Le respected the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, affirmed the privileges of the scholars, and did not allow internal insults to the well-dressed scholars, which made a large number of families change their attitude towards him.

Speaking of which, Liu Kun and Guo are still related, his grandmother was born in Guo, but Guo still abandoned Liu Kun for the sake of family interests, which shows that in the eyes of the family, only the interests of the family are concerned, and everything else is not taken into account.

In Dingxiang City, Liu Kun and many staff members gathered together to discuss the current situation. Liu Kun stared at Li Hong and the others with some annoyance, if it weren't for the unpredictable consequences, he really wanted to cut Li Hong's head with a knife.

It wasn't until today that Liu Kun discovered that the entire Bingzhou Assassin Mansion was not under his control. After the outbreak of the war, he wanted to ask Liaodong for help, but the staff led by Li Hong insisted on refusing, and adopted non-violent and non-cooperative behavior, openly setting up Liu Kun.

In the past, Liu Kun still didn't understand why Wei Shuo hated the family so much, but when he saw with his own eyes that the Bingzhou family did not hesitate to sit back and watch Yangqu fall for his own selfishness, he was angry and regretted it! knew that the family was this virtue, and it should have been allowed to forcibly annex Liaodong and annex the state.

It's a pity that at this point today, Liu Kun is too late to regret it, he has actually been deprived of leadership by the family, although he has not been placed under house arrest, but he has also lost contact with Liaodong. If it weren't for the family's fear of the forces loyal to Liu Kun in Dingxiang and Yangqu, I am afraid that he would have been sacrificed to the Hu people as a gift for his life.

Liu Kun could only pin all his hopes on Guanzhong Wei Shuo, hoping that Liaodong would find out what was wrong as soon as possible and take countermeasures as soon as possible, otherwise when the forces loyal to him in the army were eliminated by Li Hong, Li Hong and others would open the city gate and surrender to the Hu people.
