Youzhou, Yan country.

Yang Hu stood on the city wall and looked at the soldiers practicing in the distance.

Since Yanghu came to Hebei, in addition to appeasing the locals, he has been training the army with all his might.

He couldn't participate in the war between Shu and Wu, after all, the distance was here, but Yanghu didn't feel frustrated, because he also had enemies to deal with.

Originally, Biqiu Jian led the expeditionary force all the way to the Korean Peninsula, and almost all the enemies in the north were subdued, and few dared to jump out and grin with the Great Wei.

But that was more than a decade ago, after all.

During these years, a lot has changed in the north.

Xianbei is becoming more and more powerful, but the Wuhuan and other tribes in the past have completely declined, and several tribes in the north of Xianbei have made Yanghu feel an inexplicable threat.

At present, the three major Xianbei tribes in the north are the Tuoba Division, the Duan Division, and the Murong Division.

They know Da Wei very well, but Da Wei lacks knowledge of them.

In the past ten years, they have developed rapidly, and they only know that the Tuoba Department has nearly 200,000 combat strength, of course, it is not excluded here that they themselves boast.

As for the other two, although they lived in the Liaodong and Liaoxi regions of the Great Wei, Yanghu found that the Great Wei did not have an accurate understanding of them.

Probably because there have been a lot of major events in the temple over the years, and no one has the heart to see the situation in Biansai.

Or maybe it's because of contempt, feeling that the other party has already been submitted, and there is no need to stare at them anymore.

This can't help but make Yanghu a little alarmed.

Yanghu, like Deng Ai, felt that these Hu people outside the plug might be a threat.

No matter how peaceful the current situation is, His Majesty will never allow a foreign force to entrench in and outside his territory, and the indoctrination policy implemented in Yongliang and Bingzhou in the future will definitely be carried out in Youzhou.

However, the Xianbei people were not as completely dependent as the Xiongnu and Qiang people.

They had established their own kingdom outside the city.

It is probably not easy to persuade them directly like the merger of states.

This must be fought, Xianbei's combat effectiveness is much higher than that of the Qianghu and the Huns.

In the past, the five Xiongnu departments were exhausted, but they couldn't beat the Xianbei Tuoba Department, and now the Tuoba Department is many times stronger than before.

Yanghu stood on the city wall, looking at the soldiers training in the distance, but in his heart he was thinking about the strategy for the future.

Yanghu now has more than 30,000 elites under his command.

After arriving here, Yang Hu screened the soldiers under his command.

He dismissed those high-ranking disciples who came to mix military merits, and the place where the most people came to mix military merits was the Chinese army.

However, as the temple strengthened its control over the Chinese army, the number of times the Chinese army went out to fight also increased significantly, and there were people like Ma Long who implemented new training methods in the Chinese army, which suddenly made a large number of high-ranking disciples flee from the Chinese army.

They didn't dare to stay there, and after thinking about it, Hebei became a good place for gilding.

Because there is no war here.

There are still wars in the rest of the areas from time to time, but there is no war here, it is very peaceful, and it is very suitable for those who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and have achieved nothing.

And the original commander here, He Zeng.

He didn't care at all if someone was under his command, he could do anything, he only cared about himself.

This led to the very low combat effectiveness of the Hebei Army.

After Yanghu arrived, he first dismissed those who were in trouble, and then laid off many old, weak, sick and disabled, and he thought that the entire army of Great Wei should be reduced.

The size of Wei's army was simply too large.

After the destruction of the Shu Kingdom, the number of troops exceeded 500,000, and it came to an unprecedented point, that is, there was no army of such a scale at the peak of the Later Han Dynasty.

Yanghu felt that the number of troops could be appropriately reduced and the elite among them could be promoted, just like the emperor's reform in the temple to make it more efficient and lighter.

He first made similar cuts in Hebei.

Now all that is left are elite, among them there are nearly 10,000 cavalry, which is enough to deal with a lot of things.

Yanghu was looking into the distance when he suddenly saw a cavalry galloping in his direction.

The corners of Yanghu's eyes twitched.

He recognized the cavalry.

There were about 400 of these people, and the momentum was so extraordinary that even the soldiers who were training couldn't help but look sideways.

Wen Yang rode a horse and led everyone directly into the fort.

As soon as he broke into the castle, he jumped off his horse, and with a few of his cronies following, he walked briskly up the city wall and appeared in front of Yanghu.

This is the first fort of the Yan State Border Fortress, and it is also an important fortress to face the enemy outside the Cypriot Fortress.

"Meet the General!!"

Yanghu looked at the young man in front of him, was silent for a long time, and still did not open his mouth to reprimand.

"Ah Yang, you're not busy with your business in Bingzhou, why did you come here?"

Wen Yang got up, scratched his head, and looked out of tune, "General, there is Zu Wu watching the affairs over there, but I don't need it, Liu Bao and they don't dare not cooperate, I have nothing to do over there." ”

Only then did Yanghu say: "I asked you to go over there, mainly because I wanted you to learn how to do things and how to get along with your colleagues, but these days, you have caused a lot of trouble. ”

Wen Yang hurriedly said: "Those dog thieves, dare to disobey His Majesty's edict, they really deserve to be beaten, I didn't cut them down is all merciful to them!" ”

Wen Yang saw the black face of Yanghu, and hurriedly explained: "General, do you know, these dog thieves have divided a large amount of fertile land to themselves in the name of allocating arable land, and those dwellings prepared for the Huns have also been manipulated by them, and the major events of education can be used by them as a tool for profit."

Hearing Wen Yang's complaints, Yang Hu said calmly: "I know these things. ”

Wen Yang was about to continue, when he heard Yanghu's words, he was a little surprised, he looked at Yanghu incredulously, "The general knows? So why didn't the general care? Just let them do evil like this? ”

Yanghu motioned for Wenyang to follow him, and then walked up on the city wall, and the rest of the people did not follow.

"Ah Yang, the general can only focus on victory and defeat and make the right decision, but if you want to be a commander, you have to think about more things."

"Now that you have disposed of those officials, who will handle the next resettlement matters?"

"Zu Wu alone, he can't do so many things, and he has to wait for the temple to send the right person."

"This will be delayed for nearly half a year."

Hearing Yanghu's words, Wen Yang was very unconvinced.

"So, let them do evil? If such a person obstructs him, no matter how good the policy is, it will not be implemented, and in the end, it will bring about the opposite effect. ”

Yang Hu smiled, and he explained: "So we should take a compromise method, first beat them, so that they dare not make mistakes again, and wait until they are done, and then calculate their merits and faults, and deal with them accordingly, what do you think?" ”

Wen Yang grinned, "I've already beaten it." ”

Yang Hu let out a long sigh.

It seems that there is no way to make this guy grow up in the short term, but that's good, after all, he is still young, at this age, who is not so reckless and free?

Yang Hu simply did not say any more about these things, and he asked, "Then what are you coming to me for?" ”

Wen Yang then spoke: "General, when I was in Bingzhou, I recruited a lot of Huns, and we don't know a lot about Xianbei, so I want to investigate the Xianbei departments." ”

Yang Hu was stunned, "How are you going to investigate?" ”

"I'm going to lead the cavalry to their tribe and ask their tribesmen about them!"

Yanghu's eyes widened, "No! ”

He stopped, turned around, and stared at Wen Yang in front of him.

"Do you want to investigate or do you want to go to war?"

"Of course it's an investigation, I only took a few hundred cavalry to go, and now all Xianbei departments are getting along well with us, what did I do when I ran over to fight with them, just to start a war, not now, besides, we know too little about Xianbei, I will go in person, I can know what is going on with them!"

Yanghu frowned, "It's too risky, you can send someone to investigate secretly." ”

Wen Yang immediately raised his head.

"The dignified General Wei, how can he not have this courage and send someone to investigate secretly, and what can he find out? General Wei, you should be straightforward in doing things! ”

Hearing this, Yanghu subconsciously narrowed his eyes, "How does this sound like Zhong Shiji's words?" ”

Wen Yang was overjoyed, "So he told you the same?" ”

"He woke me up with a word!"

"When the Xianbei people came before, I checked their strategy by hunting, and after Zhong Shizhong arrived, he reprimanded me."

"He said, I'm too cowardly, it's obvious that Great Wei is strong, they are weak, why should I be afraid of them? It's time to do it with great fanfare, it's not us who are afraid of war now, but those Xianbei people, they don't have the courage to go against Dawei, so they choose to submit and choose to send protons, so sneaky, but lose their courage, it's better to go over and ask directly! ”

Wen Yang couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It is worthy of Zhong Shizhong, listening to his words, I thought about it for a long time, and felt that what he said was very reasonable, so I came to find the general and wanted to go out to see their situation." ”

Yanghu was suddenly a little speechless.

What Zhong Hui said is actually not bad, it is indeed them who are afraid, but right, Yanghu is worried that Wen Yang has this temperament, and it will be easy to get into trouble when he goes to the outside of the Saiwai, beating his colleagues here, and going out to beat Lord Xianbei when the time comes, so what is it??

Two countries that were supposed to live in peace could have started fighting directly.

If someone else said this to himself, Yanghu would have agreed, but it was Wenyang who said this

This is the most troublesome guy.

Yanghu pondered for a long time.

"You can go, but you can only go to the Duan Department and the Murong Department."

"Thank you, General!!"

"I'm not going to get into trouble!!"

"This"
