After Zhao Hu arrived in the Northeast. First of all, the intricate relationship between the various ethnic groups here was understood, and then the secret investigation was carried out on Gongsun Du's Yang Yi, Liu Yi, Han Qi, Liu Yuan, Guo Xin, Liu Pu, Li Min, Wang Lie and other advisers and generals.

Zhao Hu found that the two forces that posed the greatest threat to Gongsun were Goguryeo and Karasuma, and that Goguryeo had a bad relationship with the three northeastern tribes (Wofu, Lulou, and Fuyu), and that the remnants of Xianbei and Karasuma in western Liaoxi were in contact with the Fuyu tribe, and there seemed to be signs of merger.

As for the Tatam tapir tribe on the Korean Peninsula, they have no intention of encroaching on Lelang County for the time being, and the threat to Gongsun Du is small, but the Samhan at the southern tip of the peninsula has the intention of gradually integrating and advancing northward.

Zhao Hu suggested in a secret report sent back to Crouching Tiger City that the original Southern Xiongnu and Wuhuan people in the Yaoxing clan should be disguised as Karasuma people and cross the border into Liaodong County to raid Gongsun Du, secretly inciting the hatred between the Karasuma clan and Gongsun Du, so that Gongsun Du was determined to solve the hidden danger of Karasuma. Because the area where the Karasuma tribe is located is north of Youbeiping, once Gongsun Du's army crosses the border a little, it will find a reason and interface for the Youzhou side to start a war.

At the same time, he created ethnic friction in the area connected to Goguryeo in Xuansu County, pretending to be Gongsun Du's subordinates to assassinate the royal descendants of Goguryeo, and leaving pointing clues to detonate the war between Goguryeo and Gongsun Du.

During this period, the public opinion of the Jin State should unanimously pay attention to the situation in the Great Northwest, especially the use of troops in the Western Regions. According to Zhao Hu's intentions, it was better for the Jin state to create some false news that the war in the northwest was unfavorable, and then Zhao Xing became angry and gathered and mobilized troops from the east into the western regions on a large scale, so as to convince Gongsun Du that the Jin state was now unable to look eastward, and could confidently and boldly start a war with Karasuma and Goguryeo at the same time.

Once Gongsun Du had fought two wars in succession, the Jin naval division mobilized a large number of troops from the Yuzhoushan military port, crossed the Yellow Sea to the east, and attacked Benhan, the weakest force at the southwestern tip of the Korean Peninsula, and completely wiped it out in the shortest possible time. After the landing army has gained a foothold, it can calmly pack up Ma Han and Chen Han. Once the Jin State integrated and occupied the Samhan region on the peninsula, it could send troops to Lang County and completely cut off Gongsun Du's back route.

According to Zhao Xing's instructions, many forces currently entrenched in the northeast will all be eliminated in the future. Therefore, regardless of the war between Gongsun Du and Karasuma and Goguryeo, which side won a phased victory was a good thing for the Jin Kingdom.

With the energy of the two forces of Karasuma and Goguryeo, it is impossible to completely eliminate Gongsun Du, and Gongsun Du wants to kill Karasuma and Goguryeo cleanly and beautifully, but he is afraid that he does not have the ability. In this way, the three parties fought for life and death in the northeast region, but they consumed the living power in vain, and cheapened the Jin Kingdom behind Huang Que.

As for the sparsely populated tribes in the more northeastern regions of Wofu, Lulou, and Fuyu, as long as the Jin state completely pacified the threatening forces such as Gongsun Du, Goguryeo, and Karasuma, Zhao Xing could appoint a pair of capable civil and military officials as the governor and chief historian to govern and develop the northeast. At that time, there must be countless people in the Jin Kingdom who want to go to the Northeast to earn meritorious deeds, as long as they are steadily recommended to the north and east, they can completely occupy the Northeast region in less than ten years.

After Zhao Hu's covert investigation, he also found that Gongsun Du's internal forces were not stable. First of all, there is a disagreement between the civil and military factions on who will take over Gongsun Du's class in the future, and the civil and official forces tend to favor the eldest son Gongsun Kang, while the military generals are more willing to support the second son Gongsun Gong. At the same time, in the civil official line, Li Min, the Taishou of Le Lang County, seems to be secretly dissatisfied with Gongsun Du's intention to cut off the alleged king and split the Han Dynasty.

As the saying goes, flies don't bite seamless eggs, and fortresses are often breached from within. Zhao Hu believes that these hidden dangers within Gongsun Du's forces are likely to be the root cause of their complete destruction in the next step.

While Zhao Hu was patiently waiting for the direction of Crouching Tiger City to give the Shadow Squad's next orders, he accidentally discovered a very astonishing secret.

It turned out that since Deng Zhi represented the imperial court as an envoy to the Jin Kingdom and reached a series of overt and covert agreements with Zhao Xing, the imperial court finally eased up. When the "Jin Daily" came with the news that Zhao Xing went to Yumen Pass to march for the soldiers of the Western Expedition, Zhuge Liang's first reaction was to turn his head and look in the northeast direction.

Although until now, Zhuge Liang has not been able to deal with Zhao Xing and Jin Guo, his analysis of Zhao Xing's style and personality obviously exceeds that of many people. In fact, there have been many people who have suffered from Zhao Xing's trick of "repairing the plank road in the open and secretly crossing the Chen Cang". Back then, Zhao Xing ran to Youzhou to suppress Zhang Chunyuyang's rebellion with great fanfare, Dong Zhuo thought that his opportunity had come, but he was soon overshadowed by Zhao Xing, who was waiting for him to do it.

Later, Zhao Xing went to Yuyang to attend Zhao Yun's wedding with great fanfare, and the imperial court suddenly launched a salt ban campaign, as a result, Yuan Shao had just killed the merchants of the Jin State in Jizhou, and the Protector Army came out with a three-way army, and it took less than half a year to drive Yuan Shao out of Jizhou.

Zhuge Liang thinks: Since this time Zhao Xing no longer ran to the northeast as before, but ran to the northwest to build Dunhuang New City, then there is only one result, Gongsun Du of Liaodong is only afraid that he will be unlucky!

Although Zhuge Liang was clear about Gongsun Du's intention to claim the throne in Liaodong, in line with the basic principle that the enemy's enemy is an ally, he immediately suggested that Liu Bei send a powerful henchman to secretly sneak to the Liaodong region to contact Gongsun Du and ask him to be careful of the calculations of the Jin State.

Regarding Zhuge Liang's analysis, Liu Bei also thinks it is very reasonable. After suffering several losses under Zhao Xing, he now knows more and more about this dangerous element. Liu Bei accepted Zhuge Liang's suggestion, but thought that it was obviously not enough to send only one henchman, so he was ready to send two secret envoys to Liaodong at the same time.

After repeated selection, Liu Bei finally sent a little-known newcomer Xiaolian Guo Huai as the main envoy, so that he could pretend to be another deputy envoy Liao Hua's escort who was also not well-known, and went to Liaodong together.

Who is Guo Huai? In the official history, a famous general of the late Wei State during the Three Kingdoms period was also a famous person! This person was known for being good at planning and acting precisely. Du Fu has a poem to sing about Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty: "Three times to worry about the world, two dynasties to help the hearts of the old ministers." He died before he left the school, which made the hero cry. Among the people who let Zhuge Liang "fail to succeed", in addition to Sima Yi, the old fox, there is Guo Huai, a famous general of Wei who is both wise and brave.

In the official history, the famous general of the late Shu Kingdom during the Three Kingdoms period was also! This person experienced the whole process of the rise and fall of the Three Kingdoms and was known for his courage and resoluteness in battle. The vast number of people in later generations bullied Liao Hua and said, "There is no general in Shu, and Liao Hua is a pioneer", which really wronged him. In fact, Liao Hua, Huang Zhong and Yan Yan are known as the "three veterans of Shu Han", which shows that they are still very capable.

After the top talents were gradually excavated and recruited by various forces, even Zhao Xing couldn't think of any "growth period" calves that could be focused on cultivating. But Liu Bei has this ability, and among the mixed filial piety and honesty reported to the imperial court in various places, he secretly selected talents like Guo Huai and Liao Hua.

Although the two of them are not well-known now, it is precisely because of this that it is easier for them to infiltrate Liaodong to help Gongsun Du fight against Zhao Xing.
