Chapter 210: Enemies on All Sides

Liu Tai is the main account, "Lord, is the person who comes as a guest, or listen to Lord Liu tell me what Gongsun Du wants, and then make a decision?" Xi Zhicai's hand waved constantly, and he said to Liu Tai with a very flat face.

"Humph!" Seeing Liu Yi's uncompetitive appearance, Liu Tai snorted coldly, waved his hand to Xi Zhicai, and said lightly: "Let's say, what is Gongsun Du's bottom line, General Ben doesn't want to spend more time with you." ”

Xi Zhi was able to realize that he crumpled the letter paper that had just written a few words in his hand, crumpled it into a ball of twist, threw it aside, and then said to Liu Yi in a loud voice: "Lord Liu, the lord has been in a bad mood recently, you better be straightforward, you annoy the lord, and the military division can't help it." ”

"Thank you, the military advisor, for knowing that you were wrong." Liu Yi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, straightened up, and said to Liu Tai: "Shenhou, the meaning of my lord is very simple, that is, I hope that the lord of my family can let go of the families of my lord and officials, and leave the northern Xinjiang after recovering the assets of the Gongsun family in Liaodong. ”

"It's as simple as that?" Liu Tai's expression was slightly stunned, he originally thought that Gongsun Du would open his mouth, but he didn't think that Gongsun Du only wanted to protect his family, and he couldn't agree to this condition.

"Well, there is one more one, I hope the god can allow it." Liu Yi secretly glanced at Liu Tai's expression, and after finding that there was nothing unusual, he said in a low voice.

"Oh? Say, what are the conditions. Liu Tai saw Liu Yi's expression like a thief, and couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"Well, that" Liu Yi's words were a little similar, for fear of angering Liu Tai, but after thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and said: "My lord and General Gongsun Chan hope that the general will allow him to take away the family's private soldiers. ”

A cold light flashed in Liu Tai's eyes, and he didn't speak, his expression was indescribably cold.

"Gongsun is too guarded with a big appetite and takes away the private soldiers? Is it possible to take all 250,000 troops with you? Joke, this condition is also too unrealistic. Xi Zhicai said sarcastically.

"No, no, my lord and General Gongsun Zhan only want to take away their own soldiers, and there are not many of them, only about 10,000." Seeing that Liu Tai and Xi Zhicai had misunderstood, Liu Yi suddenly said nervously.

"There are only more than 10,000 people, are you sure?" This time it was Liu Tai's turn to be depressed, in Liu Tai's imagination, at least Gongsun Du and Gongsun Zhan could take away 30,000 border troops, otherwise when they arrived in Yizhou, how could they play with Zhang Jiao?

"It's OK, my lord took away only 6,000 Liao troops, and General Gongsun Zhan took away 3,000 white horses under his command. Liu Yi looked up at Liu Tai and said with a very sure expression.

"This" Liu Tai frowned, he didn't understand what kind of trick Gongsun Du and Gongsun Chan were playing, although the current situation was very unfavorable to the two Gongsun, but it didn't come to such a point, Gongsun Du and Gongsun Chan still had 250,000 troops in their hands, of which 150,000 were the elite of the border army, and they had the power to fight, and it was even possible to turn defeat into victory, but Gongsun Du and Gongsun Chan gave up so completely, it was a bit weird.

"General Rong Ben thinks about it again, Lord Liu will retire and rest first." Liu Tai waved his hand and said with a gloomy face.

"Yes, Shenhou, retire under the next" Liu Yi saw Liu Tai's disbelieving look, and exhaled in his heart, it's good if you don't believe it, if you believe it directly, I'm afraid that Gongsun Du and Gongsun Chan will be in danger.

With the wisdom of Gongsun Du and Gongsun Zhan, how can you not see that such a low condition is too simple, with the strength of the two families, even if you can't recapture Xiangping, you can still divide the three counties of Xuansu, Lelang, and Daifang, which can completely make Liu Tai's rear unstable, with such conditions in hand, if you want to take away forty or fifty thousand elite border troops, it is like playing.

But the two did not make such a request, because they knew very well that this matter could only be dealt with as soon as possible, and there could be no delay, if Yuan Kui and his family gave any orders to resist stubbornly before Gongsun Du fully surrendered, then the Gongsun family was really in danger.

After Liu Yi respectfully withdrew from the camp, Liu Tai looked at Xi Zhicai and asked with deep doubts: "Zhicai, look, is there any conspiracy in Gongsun Du's move?" ”

Xi Zhicai shook his head, with a confident smile on the corner of his mouth, and said: "Gongsun Du will never have any conspiracy, because he understands that in the face of absolute strength, conspiracy and trickery are just jokes, and the reason why Gongsun Dukai's conditions are so low is because he is worried that the Yuan family will be in trouble, which will lead to the dilemma of the Gongsun family." ”

"Yuan's" Liu Tai nodded, he understood Gongsun Du's intentions, and now the Gongsun family can be said to be completely under the support of the Yuan family to survive, if the Yuan family asks Gongsun Du to continue fighting, what should Gongsun Du do?

"That being the case, then agree to Gongsun Du's conditions, although it is a pity to go to the Liao Army and Baima Congyi, but to get the entire territory of Liaodong, at least in the next few years, there is no fear of the imperial court." A smile hung on the corner of Liu Tai's mouth, and he said with a slap.

Needless to say, it is almost known that it is Gongsun Zhan's personal guard troops, Gongsun Chan is a good white horse, since the battle of Hushan Pass, three thousand white horses from righteousness were almost all lost, in Changli, Gongsun Chan pulled up a team of white horses from righteousness, although the combat effectiveness is not as good as before, but there is always a day, under the leadership of Gongsun Zhan, once again bloom the original glory.

Du Liao Army, about the information of the Du Liao Army, Liu Tai did not get much, only knew that the Du Liao Army was similar to the private soldiers of the Gongsun family, the equipment was very good, and all of them were selected from the elite of the border army, and it was rumored that its combat effectiveness was above the Goguryeo blood drum warriors, and the foot combat was several times stronger than the white horse Congyi, but the horse war, well, under the same number, the white horse Congyi was slightly better.

"My lord, taking over the whole territory of Liaodong is actually not a very good thing for my northern Xinjiang, and there is no peace of mind at all, the lord has thought about it, once I receive the whole territory of Liaodong, my northern Xinjiang is the land of four wars, surrounded by strong enemies, the more difficult it is to develop." I saw Xi Zhicai stand up with a worried face, walked to the map in the tent, and said in a heavy voice.

"Zhicai is worried about the four sides of Huyi?" Liu Tai stood up with a smile on his face, walked to Xi Zhicai's side, looked at the intricate forces on the map, his brows became tighter and tighter, it was obvious that Liu Tai also found that the situation was a little bad, Northern Xinjiang... Surrounded by foreigners.

"Hey..."Xi Zhicai nodded, sighed, pointed to the map, and said: "My lord, please look, my northern Xinjiang is facing Qianghu in the west, although Qianghu is weaker than the Northern Xiongnu and Xianbei, but there are also elite cavalry as many as 80,000, and they have been harassing the border of our Han Dynasty for a long time. ”

"In the northwest, my northern Xinjiang is adjacent to the Northern Xiongnu, although the Northern Xiongnu have been driven away by Tanshihuai many times, and even slaughtered many people, but with the support of the national strength of the Western Regions, the recovery is very fast, and it is rumored that the Northern Xiongnu Dadan has expanded the clan soldiers again, and it has reached 450,000 people!"

"Four hundred and fifty thousand...."Liu Tai gritted his teeth, and the anger in his heart rose sharply, if it weren't for the Northern Xiongnu controlling the countries of the Western Regions, there would be so many soldiers and horses there? In the final analysis, as long as the Western Regions are returned to the Han Dynasty, the parasite-like existence of the Northern Xiongnu can be destroyed in the blink of an eye.

"Next is the Xianbei three, although the Xianbei three seem to be split soon, but because of this time, Murong Feng was detained in the central Xianbei, He Lian destroyed the remnants of the Mobei Xiongnu, under the prestige, in a short period of time, the three will not be divided, and the Xianbei who is not divided is the biggest enemy of my northern Xinjiang, Xianbei has dominated the grassland for decades since the rise of Tanshihuai, and the three divisions have no less than 500,000 soldiers and horses, or even more, as long as He Lian rectifies the Xianbei interior, four or five hundred thousand iron cavalry goes south, how can I be the enemy of my northern Xinjiang?"

"With the Great Wall defense line in hand, how can Xianbei attack the hinterland of my northern Xinjiang and fight a protracted war at most, of course, General Ben absolutely does not believe that He Lian's ability alone can completely unify Xianbei, hum, hum, as long as Murong Feng escapes from the central Xianbei, the three Xianbei divisions will be split immediately, and now Xianbei is only because Murong Feng was detained, and it will not break out for the time being." Liu Tai smiled coldly, for He Lian's kind of waste, Liu Tai really wouldn't look at it with a straight eye, as long as the three Xianbei divisions were divided, within a few years, the northern Xinjiang could send troops to completely defeat Xianbei.

"Well, since the lord is so confident, Zhong will not say much about the issue of Xianbei." Xi Zhicai nodded, knowing that what Liu Tai said was true, as soon as Murong Feng was released, the long-standing problems of Xianbei would erupt in an instant, and then division would be inevitable.

"Lord, please see, the north of Liaodong is Buyeo, although Buyeo is suppressed by the Xianbei and Goguryeo clans all the year round, but there are still as many as 1120,000 people in the clan, Buyeo knights are extremely good at fighting, if it is only the eastern Xianbei, or only Goguryeo, the root is not the opponent of Buyeo, and now it is only because there is no male lord in the Buyeo clan, which will lead to the continuous erosion of Buyeo forces, and the most important thing is that Buyeo's attitude towards my Han Dynasty is extremely unclear, sometimes it will go south to plunder, and sometimes it will pay tribute to my Han Dynasty, Now that I live in Liaodong in northern Xinjiang, what will be the attitude of Buyeo, will it be an enemy of my northern Xinjiang or a friend of my northern Xinjiang? Xi Zhicai pressed his index finger on the map where Buyeo was located, and said with a gloomy face. No one will like Buyeo with a changeable attitude, after all, Buyeo is a tiger, a tiger that can eat people without spitting out bones.

"Buyeo, well, it seems that the next strategic goal of our army is Buyeo, what is the attitude of Buyeo, it has nothing to do with this general, but the combat power of Buyeo is obvious to all, especially the cavalry, it can be described as a must in the grassland, under the same number, Xianbei is not the opponent of Buyeo at all, as long as the Buyeo cavalry is absorbed, it will be of great use to deal with Xianbei in the future." With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Liu Tai ignored Xi Zhicai's crying and mournful face, and said out loud.

"My lord, don't you want to send troops to help Yu after Liaodong is pacified? According to Zhong's estimates, although Liaodong is under the rule of Northern Xinjiang, it will take at least half a year to a year before it is completely controlled and troops are stationed in various places. Xi Zhicai saw Liu Tai's confident look, and he was angry, gritting his teeth and glaring at Liu Tai.

"Ahem, ahem... Well, let's talk about this again, let's talk about Goguryeo in the east and Samhan in the southeast. Seeing Xi Zhicai's "fierce" gaze, Liu Tai touched his nose and said with a dry smile in his eyes.
