Ao Lie's comfortable and sweet days only lasted for one day, and Xun Yu came to the state pastor's mansion early in the morning with Cui Yan's watch fold to inform him of the news of the invasion of foreign races in the frontier.

There is still more than a month to go until the New Year, and a sudden heavy snow has covered the entire northern Xinjiang in silver, just as Ao Lie copied the poems of the great men of his previous life. It is precisely because of this heavy snowfall that the alien races in northern Xinjiang have fallen into an unprecedented difficult situation, and the alien races who rely on nomadism for a living are often so fragile in the face of natural disasters. In order to survive or to satisfy the ambitions of some of them, every winter, as long as it snows heavily, the alien races will invade the counties and counties in the northern part of the Han Dynasty on a large scale, plundering money, food, population, and daily necessities, everything that can be plundered is within their goals.

"Lord, the heavy snow a few days ago has caused countless cattle and sheep grazing by foreign races in northern Xinjiang to freeze to death, and the birds and beasts active in the mountains have not been able to find a trace, so those foreign races have begun to move again and are ready to invade the south." Xun Yu handed Cui Yan's fold to Ao Lie, and at the same time attached his own opinions. After living in Youzhou for nearly ten years, Xun Yu already knows the habits of different races, and if they move a little, Xun Yu can roughly guess what they want to do.

After reading the table fold, Ao Lie pondered for a while, then raised his head and instructed Xun Yu: "Wen Ruo, call everyone here, and everyone will discuss how to decide." Xun Yu took the order and left.

Since the rebellion of Yuyang Zhangju, the king of Wuhuan was assassinated by Wei Yan, and the Wuhuan people have fallen into a long-term leaderless situation, several powerful and ambitious big leaders, for several years, they have been fighting openly and secretly, intending to seize the throne, making the entire Wuhuan black miasma, and the strength of Wuhuan has been greatly consumed in the civil war, and it is no longer a matter of concern; The Xiongnu, who were entrenched in the northwest of Bingzhou, were no longer as powerful as they were at the beginning. Even if they had the courage to come and plunder, Cui Yan and Gao Shun, who were guarding the annexed state, were enough to drive them back to the desert; Only the Xianbei people, who have risen rapidly in recent years, have made Ao Lie a little worried.

Xianbei was extremely powerful decades ago, and its leader Tanshi Huai unified the entire Xianbei, occupying a large number of apprentices outside the two states of Youji and the Sili Assassin History Department, but soon after Ao Lie came to this world, Tanshi Huai died, and Xianbei fell into a divided situation again, and hundreds of clan leaders, large and small, did not obey anyone. Attacking back and forth, there has been no time to launch a large-scale southern invasion in the past ten years, which is also the reason why Ao Lie and the Xianbei people have fewer confrontations. However, in the incessant infighting and attack of the Xianbei people, after more than ten years of civil war, the situation gradually became clear, and three large tribal alliances were slowly formed.

These three tribal alliances, according to the geographical division, are called Western Xianbei. Central Xianbei and Eastern Xianbei. The western Xianbei is led by Budugen and occupies a large amount of grassland outside the northern part of Bingzhou; The central Xianbei was led by the son of Tanshi Huai and Lian. Entrenched in the border of seclusion and merger, at any time to the secluded and tiger's eye; The eastern Xianbei is the most powerful, claiming to have a million people within the tribal alliance, entrenched in the northeast of Youzhou. Its leader's name is Kebineng. The eastern Xianbei also colluded with the Buyeo, Goguryeo and other ethnic minorities in Youzhou to communicate with each other, which was actually a time bomb in Youzhou. Ao Lie had long had the intention to conquer Xianbei in the east, just because of the perennial war. The soldiers under his command were already exhausted, so the matter of conquest was delayed until now.

Just as Ao Lie was pondering. Xun Yu had already called dozens of civil and military officials under Ao Lie's command, and everyone sat down according to their positions, looking at Ao Lie with the same eyes. Seeing that the people had arrived, Ao Lie cleared his throat and took the lead in speaking: "Everyone, I received the news from Cui Changshi today, and the western Xianbei outside the state is ready to move, let's talk about it, what do you think of this matter?" ”

In the column of military generals, Lu Buteng, who was closest to Ao Lie, stood up and arched his hand and said: "Junhou, I know the habits of Xianbei in the west, they are insatiable, if we take a step back, they will definitely go further." For Xianbei people, there is no connivance. A certain petition led the headquarters to return to the state and fight to the death. In the parliament or in other public places, Lu Bu could neither call Ao Lie's second brother nor his lord, so he came up with such a compromise title and called Ao Lie a prince.

With Lu Bu's invitation to fight, the rest of the generals also stood up, echoed Lu Bu's proposal, and asked Ao Lie to fight. In the Wenchen column, Xun Yu, who was in second place, stood up and said to the generals: "Generals, please calm down, the current situation is a little chaotic, and I need to sort out a clear context before we can decide what to do." ”

Ao Lie looked at Xun Yu and asked, "Does Mr. Wen Ruo have any specific ideas?" ”

Xun Yu sorted out his thoughts, and then replied: "Lord, a heavy snow covered the entire north a few days ago, and it must be not only the western Xianbei people who intend to invade the south, but they are the most uncomposed, so they are the first to move." If the lord dispatches a large number of men and horses to attack Xianbei in the west, and Xianbei in the central and eastern parts of the country hears the news, they will definitely take advantage of the emptiness of Youzhou and lead their troops south, and at that time, our army will become very passive. Therefore, Yu advocated that our army should divide the priorities and choose the most threatening and at the same time the most certain victory of the Xianbei Xianbei first, and the other two roads should be mainly defensive before the main force has not divided the victory or defeat. ”

Xun Yu's words made most people nod their heads and agree. After all, many of the newly recruited soldiers have not yet been on the battlefield, and they cannot be considered real warriors if they have not experienced the test of blood and fire. At present, the main force of the Youhe army is still those veterans who survived on the battlefield. The number of veterans, after the first battle of Shaxian, the elite was lost, and in the entire Youhe army, it could only account for three or four percent, and with the current combat effectiveness, it was indeed difficult to complete the all-round war of resistance.

Nodding slightly, Ao Lie looked at Zhuge Liang and asked, "Kong Ming, what do you think?" Since studying the thirteen chapters of Guigu with Zhuge Liang, Ao Lie has known that he still underestimates Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang's overall view and detailed arrangement, although it will not be as recorded in the romance, "Zhuge Zhizhi is more than a demon", but it is not like the Three Kingdoms Chronicles described in the governance of the country and the army and not good at strategic deployment, perhaps because Ao Lie's arrival changed Zhuge Liang, or maybe the description of Zhuge Liang in the history books is biased. The current Zhuge Liang has not yet reached the level of turning his hands into clouds and covering his hands into rain in the romance, but he is far more clever than what is written in the history books. Ao Lie knew that Zhuge Liang's talent, called the first person in the Three Kingdoms period, is worthy of the name. Whether it is the Luo family who wrote the deduction or Chen Shou who compiled the history books. There is no doubt about this. What Zhuge Liang lacks now is only the accumulation of experience, give him a certain space and time, and he will definitely give the world a perfect answer. Therefore, Ao Lie is always used to asking Zhuge Liang what he wants, "Kong Ming, what do you think?" Ao Lie's approach is not only a deliberate cultivation of Zhuge Liang, but also can stimulate Zhuge Liang's deeper thinking.

Zhuge Liang's location is opposite Lu Bu. Ranked first in Wenchen. After hearing Ao Lie's question, Zhuge Liang stood up, first bowed to Ao Lie, and then spoke: "Lord, everyone, Liang also agrees with Mr. Wen Ruo's proposal. Liang thought that although Xianbei in the middle was the son of Tanshi Huai and the commander of the company, he Lian had no ambitions and was rough in strategy. There is no need to be afraid, and if you send a general, you can turn him away; The western Xianbei Budu is brutal by nature and likes to whip his subordinates. His subordinates have long held a grudge against him, and because of his obscenity, they dare not speak out, and the lord can send people who are articulate. went to spread rumors within his tribe, and bought off Budugen's cronies with a lot of money, and it didn't take a long time. There will definitely be a mutiny in the root of Budu, and at that time, General Gao Shun can be attacked, and the western Xianbei can be broken; The only one who worries Liang is the Eastern Kebi Neng Department. Kebi can be familiar with the historical books of Hanshu and is proficient in strategy, which is really a big problem for our army. The lord should personally lead his troops north to quell this great trouble. ”

After a pause, Zhuge Liang continued: "However, before setting out for Kebineng, our army still has one thing to do. In the east, Xianbei and Buyeo and Goguryeo in Youzhou are in collusion, and Buyeo and Goguryeo have long had a heart of disobedience, and sooner or later they will definitely stand on their own feet, and our army should quickly eradicate the uneasy factors in the territory before they can feel at ease with the outside world. Zhuge Liang's opinion coincides with what Ao Lie thinks in his heart. Buyeo and Goguryeo were bred by two foreign races who migrated to the mainland in the early years, and after a long time, they have become a climate. During the reign of Liu Hong, he took out the two counties in Youzhou separately and set up a kingdom for the people of the two ethnic groups to live in, which is today's Buyeo State and Goguryeo State.

For these two kingdoms, Ao Lie has also been thinking about them for a long time, and he has not known how to deal with them. On the one hand, the two countries have long had a disobedient heart, which is a well-known thing for passers-by, but Ao Lie has no evidence, and he is also unknown if he wants to conquer. On the other hand, as a traveler of later generations, Ao Lie Zhilu Dao has a huge underground oil well in the territory of the two countries, which is the DQ oil field in later generations. In today's era, no one has yet been able to master the use of oil, if Ao Lie is the first to develop oil fields, whether it is used for military or people's livelihood, it will be much ahead of this era, this is a great temptation for Ao Lie.

Jia Xu, who had not spoken, after hearing Zhuge Liang's analysis, his eyes flashed with light, and then disappeared, but he nodded to Ao Lie secretly, silently supporting Zhuge Liang's strategy. Since Zhuge Liang's arrival, Jia Xu has rarely expressed his opinions. Originally, Wenchen's first seat should have been done by Jia Xu, but out of the mentality of Mingzhe to protect himself, and Ao Lie's deliberate cultivation of Zhuge Liang, Jia Xu automatically gave up this position and retreated to the third place. However, Jia Xu's loyalty to Ao Lie is no problem, and the work that should be done has not been left behind, and it is all done very well.

At the same time, Jia Xu also took the initiative to take on the role of Zhuge Liang's teacher, if Zhuge Liang's analysis and insights are correct, Jia Xu will not say anything; Once Zhuge Liang occasionally makes a mistake, Jia Xu will remind him side-by-side and guide him back to the correct trajectory. Having a teacher like Jia Xu has to say that it is a great blessing for Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang did not disappoint Ao Lie and Jia Xu, since sitting in the first position of Wenchen, Zhuge Liang's decision has only been wronged once, and it was quickly corrected under Jia Xu's guidance, and since then, there has never been any mistake.

Seeing Jia Xu's secret approval, Ao Lie made the most contemplative decision: "In this battle, we will fight according to the suggestions of Mr. Wenruo and Kong Ming, and our army will be divided into three ways." Cui Yan and Gao Shun were ordered to defend the western Xianbei and wait for changes. Li Ru, you choose people to spread rumors among the Xianbei tribes in the west and provoke mutinies within them; Big brother, I bother you to lead the people of the headquarters, guard the area of the upper valley, and resist and company; Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Xu Shu, with the three of you leading 30,000 troops as the vanguard, going north to meet Kebineng, temporarily focusing on defense, and waiting for a certain solution to Buyeo and Goguryeo, that is, personally lead the army north to meet you. ”

Just after Ao Lie decided on the tactics, a person suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Lord! This is absolutely impossible! Ao Lie raised his eyes and saw that the person who refuted his order was none other than Tian Feng, the newly appointed advisor to the army. (To be continued......)

PS: PS: The DQ oil field is indeed located in the northeast of Buyeo, and the name of the oil field was not written out out of harmony, and it was replaced by letters, but I believe everyone can understand it, isn't it?
