Chapter 123: Alliance
"The spies at the forefront of the battlefield reported that the union of Xiqiang and the Northern Xiongnu was not a temporary idea, and there was an article before, and a long article was written at the beginning, the purpose of which was to drive straight into Hanzhong, and after taking the middle area, go straight to Luoyang."
"The Yuan clan in the north still hasn't made any moves, but in the fight against the Northern Xiongnu, the imperial court gave them military orders and asked them to send people there, but at present, they haven't replied, maybe today and tomorrow, maybe it's like a stone sinking into the sea, and they won't reply."
"The ten permanent servants have been very low-key in the past two days, and the palace suddenly became peaceful, and I don't know if it was the eve of the storm, but it was a good thing, the news of Chundie and Qiuhong finally came out, both of them were fine, and they were ready to return to the Queen Mother."
After the two finished speaking, they looked at Cheng Liu at the same time.
Cheng Liu closed his eyes tightly, and only after the last sentence was finished did he slowly open his eyes.
"In this way, He Jin's deployment of troops and horses is still based on Luoyang, even if the front line is tight, he will not send troops to go, only let the soldiers and horses on both sides of Liangzhou and Jizhou dispatch, indicating that even if the heroes and horses on the land of Hanzhong receive the news, I am afraid they will not take it too seriously, the collection of troops should be collected, and the land should be requisitioned."
Yu Yukui asked, "So what do we do?" ”
Cheng Liu moved his body for a moment, and only after slowing down did he say, "Turn a blind eye and do our own thing." Prepare the carriage and return to Jianye. ”
Sweet Potato and Yu Youkui stood up at the same time, and asked with some concern, "But Childe's body ......?"
Cheng Liu waved his hand and replied, "It's not a big deal, maybe it's because I'm too tired from the road, and I haven't rested well." It's all right, you go and get ready, and I'll be out in a moment. ”
The two of them walked out, closing the door at the same time.
Cheng Liu got up slightly, and the power he had lost before seemed to have returned to his body, and this mysterious feeling made him scratch his head.
However, because it is not too frequent, Cheng Liu can only temporarily put this matter down.
After changing into clean clothes, Cheng Liu opened the door, and the team was already ready, and after seeing Cheng Liu come out, they immediately greeted him.
Zhao Yun was already able to walk freely on the ground, and the wound was already scarred, so he did not take the carriage, but rode a horse alone.
From Xiapi to Jianye, without detouring to Luoyang, you can only take the route of Ziqiugang.
Cheng Liu, who was sitting in the carriage, suddenly asked, "What about Gu Guan?" ”
"He likes to be alone, he's already at the forefront, and if anything happens, we should be able to see his signals."
Cheng Liu had long been used to it, but he originally wanted to confirm one thing with him, but seeing that he was not there, he had to leave this matter behind for the time being.
"There are too many of us to cross the line in Luoyang, and after passing through the mountain on this side of Ziqiugang, we will go directly to Jianye. It's still early, and there should be plenty of time. ”
Sweet potato took the map and said, "Childe, Mu Taoqian of Xuzhou Prefecture caught a group of people and said that it was related to you. ”
Immediately after that, she took out a list, and Cheng Liu just glanced at it, and then handed it to Yu Youkui.
Yu Youkui looked at it and frowned slightly.
"It's not our people, maybe it's a dark line sent from the north, do you want to keep it?"
Cheng Liu shook his head: "Just leave it to Tao Qian to do, we don't have to come forward." In addition, the recent spies should be less active first, so as not to be caught, if someone in Jingzhou and Yizhou provokes, don't worry about it for now, we can't be the first to strike. ”
This is similar to Tian Feng's previous guess, Cheng Liu really chose to forbear first.
After all, thinking of the old love of the Empress Dowager He, at this time, the geographical location of Yangzhou is too critical, and the war must not be led to this side.
After being silent for a long time, Cheng Liu spoke again: "What is the situation in Yuzhou?" ”
"The current situation in Yuzhou is the most chaotic of all states and counties, small forces and powerful people from all walks of life emerge in an endless stream, but there has not yet been a big person, maybe there is, but now it is not enough to threaten us."
Yuzhou is on the north side, and when it was used as a defense line before, Yuzhou was deliberately divided into a key defense line, but now it seems that if Yuzhou wants to become a climate, I am afraid that it will have to be after the end of the Xiliang War.
In this way, Cheng Liu's time seems to be a lot more.
"Then Yuzhou will let the dark line pay attention to it first, no need to control it, just keep an eye on it, what is the wind and grass sent to Xuzhou Tao Qian first, now he has not enough soldiers and horses, and there is no surplus of grain and grass, but it will be our partner later."
Sweet potato hurriedly asked, "Childe wants to ally with Tao Qian?" ”
Cheng Liu just replied lightly: "If the timing is right, it should be." ”
If you want to ally with Tao Qian, then Liu Bei of Runan must become his own person, this step is very likely to be wrong, Cheng Liu can't be sure now, but it doesn't hurt to keep one hand behind.
Just looking at the map for a while, Cheng Liu felt that his eyes were not very comfortable, so he put the map away.
"How long will it take for Xu Shu to come back?"
"It's here in the near future."
Cheng Liu nodded and slowly closed his eyes.
In the evening, the convoy finally arrived at Ziqiugang, Cheng Liu smelled the fragrance of flowers, slowly opened his eyes, and immediately lifted the curtain of the carriage.
The scenery in front of you is beautiful, with grass and flowers covering the road, and birds chirping in the branches.
If there is a paradise in this era, perhaps this is it.
It's just that it's sparsely populated, and no one has mentioned it in historical records except for the local geographical records.
It is no wonder that in troubled times, in addition to the problem of food and clothing, this kind of leisure and elegance is not even interesting to the literati, let alone the local farmers.
After lowering the curtain again, Cheng Liu glanced at the two fish and sweet potatoes in the car.
One was studying the map, the other was looking down, not knowing what he was thinking.
"What do you think?"
Cheng Liu asked directly.
"There's something this girl hasn't been able to figure out."
Cheng Liu rolled his eyes.
"Then don't think about it, it may be beyond your intellectual range, and you can't think of it if you want to break your head."
Yu Youkui snorted coldly, but replied lightly: "That's better than someone jolting on a horse to death or alive!" What this girl can't figure out, you can't figure it out! ”
Cheng Liu smiled: "This is not necessarily, let's talk about it." ”
After a while, Yu Youkui originally planned not to say anything, but after all, he couldn't suppress it and asked, "Is this current situation still under your control?" ”
Cheng Liu was stunned, and his smile stiffened on his face.
"What do you mean by that?"
Yu Youkui then said: "Although the soldiers and horses in the Jizhou area will not go south, but there are too many princes from all walks of life in the south, if they are left alone, they will develop and grow sooner or later, and if you want to solve them again at that time, I am afraid it is not so simple, these people will have endless troubles, and the harm of letting them go is too great." ”
