Chapter 10 won the Central Plains 17th Festival April, Yanzhou, Dingtao, the general Xingyuan. After the general was ordered to take charge of the military affairs of Qing and Yanzhou, he became busy again.

The laid-back days of the past few months have become fond memories for him. In order to take care of him, Fengxue did not return to the post house in the city, but lived in Xingyuan.

Because of the wind and snow, the general did not deal with official business day and night as in the past. Fu Gan, Wang Ling, Zhao Xing and others always reminded him at the right time that it was time to go back to accompany his wife to dinner.

Or tell him that it was already late at night, and that Madame was still waiting in the military tent, so as not to exhaust Madame's body.

Li Hong just needs to hear

The word "madam", even if he was busy with official business, he resolutely put it down or instructed Fu Gan and others to continue to deal with it, and hurriedly returned to the military tent to accompany Fengxue to eat and talk.

Sometimes at dusk, they also gallop along the banks of the Jishui River with wind and snow. The eldest princess and Mrs. Xiaoyu were obviously also worried about the wind and snow, so they specially sent a female official and maid from the palace and the general's mansion to Xingyuan, so that they could take care of Fengxue's daily life.

Feng Xue originally had four little junior sisters from Buyeo Country by his side, but because of his age, he returned to Saiwai one after another, and now there are only two maidservants from the Niutou tribe left.

Although everyone is very concerned about the wind and snow, except for being with Li Hong, she is depressed at other times, often wandering alone by the river on a horse, looking at the distant sky, silently thinking of her relatives in the desert.

Whenever Li Hong saw the bleak back of the wind and snow and saw her sad eyes, his heart ached faintly.

Although she has always been by her side, her heart is in the desert, on the boundless prairie that belongs to her.

"When the world is calm and the society is stable, I will take you back to the desert." Li Hong hugged her tightly, looked at the blue sky in the north, and swore secretly.

We came out of the desert together, and we will go back to the desert together in the future. In recent years, the Han Dynasty should concentrate on conquering the Central Plains and pacifying the world as soon as possible, so as to maintain the continued stability of northern Xinjiang and become the focus of the imperial court.

At present, only Kirby Bear poses a threat to the security of northern Xinjiang, and in order to ensure that the army has no worries when attacking Luoyang, the imperial court urgently ordered Xian Yufu, the general of the left chariot cavalry sitting in northern Xinjiang, to appease Kirby Bear as soon as possible.

After Xian Yufu received the holy decree from the imperial court, he ordered Xian Yuyin, Li Su, Yu Peng and other generals in northern Xinjiang to immediately send people to Daxianbei Mountain to find Xianbei people.

After spending a cold winter in the Great Xianbei Mountain, Kirby Xiong, Micah and others began to prepare to fight in the south with thousands of Xianbei tribes in the central and eastern Xianbei Mountains.

But with their current strength, they can't fight back the area of Huoyun Yuan and Wuhou Qinshui. Just when they were at a loss, the people of Buyeo suddenly sent a message to say that the Han people were looking for them and wanted to discuss with them about appeasement, and asked them to contact the Han people as soon as possible.

After careful deliberation with Mika, Xiong Ba, Split Wind, Que Kun and others, Kirby Bear decided to surrender to the Great Han.

Now for them, survival is the number one priority. When the entire desert Hu tribe fell at the feet of the Han Dynasty, continuing to fight against the Han Dynasty would undoubtedly bring about its own destruction.

"Before his death, Dashuai once said that to use the power of the Han people to strengthen his strength, be patient, and wait for the right time." Kirby Bear said remorsefully,

"I was too impulsive, too impatient. Look at Shooting Moci and Tuoba Tao, look at the Karasuma people Loulu and Bundun, look at the Huns Liu Bao and Liu Ming, how fast have they developed in recent years? On the contrary, no matter how much we walk, we don't care, but because we didn't see the situation clearly, we still blindly rushed to kill on the desert with the idea of the past, and as a result, we were defeated again and again, and we were forced to a desperate situation, and even survival became a luxury. I have failed to live up to the trust of the handsome, and I have made everyone suffer a lot with me. I decided, ten, ten years, I will follow Uncle Leopard, listen to him, I will do whatever he tells me to do. Ten years later, we made a comeback. "Cracking the wind and the fat man Su Li were ordered to go south to Dayan Mountain and surrender to the Han Dynasty.

When Xian Yufu saw the cracking wind, he immediately asked him to write a letter to the general and Mrs. Fengxue to report his safety.

I heard that Fengxue has been worried about the safety of his relatives day and night for more than a year, and his body is getting worse, and the cracking wind can't help but shed tears.

"Is my sister okay?"

"The general has been with her all the time, nothing serious. You write the letter immediately, and I will send it out on a fast ride of 800 miles. Li Hong saw Xian Yufu's urgent book, thought that something big had happened in northern Xinjiang, and hurriedly opened the soap sac.

In addition to a roll of bamboo slips, there are also several pieces of wood carved into the soap sac, and many simple lines are engraved on the wooden slabs.

Li Hong only glanced at it, then jumped up, and rushed out of the big tent in the shocked eyes of everyone in the tent.

Wang Ling, Wang Chang, Zhao Xing and the others didn't know what was going on, so they rushed out after them. Fu Gan hurriedly ran to the side of the desk and picked up the letter sent from Northern Xinjiang.

Cao Yi, the thief under the door, was taken aback when he saw the general's galloping figure, and hurried after him with dozens of guards.

"Xiaoxue...... Xiaoxue ......" Li Hong rushed into the military tent, hugged Fengxue, and shouted excitedly,

"Xiaoxue, Brother Storm has sent a letter, Kirby Bear and Que Kun are back, and they are going back to Huoyunyuan." Fengxue was surprised and delighted, hugged Li Hong with his backhand, and cried with joy.

When the two maids saw the general and his wife hugging each other in broad daylight, they couldn't help but blush, and they were dumbfounded.

Then the two realized that they should not stay in the military tent now, and hurriedly ran out hand in hand and panicked.

The guards outside the tent are densely packed, and one by one is like a great enemy. Arbitrary, Wang Ling, Zhao Xing and others were about to go in, when they suddenly saw two beautiful maids running out of the military tent, and they were all stunned for a moment.

These two maids are too beautiful, with delicate appearances and elegant temperament, although Any, Wang Ling and others often see beautiful women like Feng Xue and ordinary beauties, but this time they also widened their eyes and looked at it intently.

When did two little beauties pop up in the general's military tent? This is the one who just sent from Jinyang to serve the lady?

It seems that there are not many beauties in the palace, and any two of them are so beautiful. When the two maids saw a bright array of swords and guns, they were immediately frightened, screamed repeatedly, and instinctively turned around and ran.

But the general and his wife were hugging each other in the tent, and the two were worried that they would be seen by the soldiers outside the tent, so they retreated.

"What's wrong with the General?" Arbitrarily asked softly,

"Are you alright?" He has always been cold, but this time he is rarely unusually gentle, and there is even a few smiles on his face.

Zhao Xing next to him inadvertently saw an arbitrary expression, and couldn't help laughing,

"Ball, why did you change your face today?" He glared at him arbitrarily, and was about to speak, but he saw one of the older maids and said in horror: "The general is in the tent, with his wife." Everyone knew that the general was fine, and their nervousness immediately relaxed.

This relaxation was down, and the eyes immediately stared at the two beauties, and there were more words in their mouths.

The two little maids had probably never seen such a scene, their faces were red, their heads were bowed, they were frightened, and their delicate bodies began to tremble.

"It's all scattered, it's all scattered." Fu Gan's voice suddenly came.

"What to do, don't gather around here." The guards didn't care about the beauties anymore and hurriedly dispersed.

"What's going on?" Approaching Fu Gan arbitrarily asked,

"General, what's the matter?"

"The general of the left chariot has sent a letter to his wife." Fu Gan whispered,

"Kirby Bear is back again, the general is in the tent......" His hand pointing to the tent suddenly stopped, and his eyes involuntarily looked at the faces of the two maids standing at the door of the tent,

"What's going on?" The two maids also saw Fu Gan. Fu Gan is tall and handsome, and has served in the two governments for many years, so he is naturally quite powerful.

When he asked so casually, the two maids became even more nervous and hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

"This is what the eldest princess just sent from Jinyang." Wang Ling explained.

"Are all the ladies in the palace so beautiful?" Zhao Xing approached Fu Gan and asked in a low voice. Fu Gan glared at him,

"Go back to work."

"Big brother, you have two expectant wives, both of them are big beauties, of course you can't look down on them." Zhao Xing said cheekily,

"Big brother, after my sister-in-law got married, remember to ask me if she has a beautiful sister. Last time, Zhong Da (Sima Yi) said that his sister had raced one by one, and they were all ......"

"It's not your turn to call the shots." Fu Gan shook his head again and again, interrupting him,

"Your grandfather is still here, who dares to speak?" Zhao Xing was stunned for a moment, suddenly raised his hands high, looked up to the sky and sighed,

"God, give me a beautiful woman." Wang Ling, Wang Chang, and Arbitrarily saw Zhao Xing put on a desperate expression, and they all laughed wildly.

The two maids kneeling on the ground also couldn't help laughing, hiding their faces and snickering. Feng Xue's mood is much better, and he often rides horses with a group of guards in the General's Mansion.

The two maids were inseparable from the lady, and sometimes learned to ride horses and shoot arrows at the instigation of the wind and snow.

At this time, the guards rushed up and rushed to do it

"Flower Messenger", a mess. The laughter on the river embankment is like the bright spring light on the land of the Central Plains, which makes people feel warm.

As the spring ploughing in various places gradually came to an end, the preparations for the imperial court attack were also in full swing, but the final decision of the general was delayed.

The eldest princess and the prime minister Cai Yong, the imperial lieutenant Xu Rong, Shang Shuling Li Wei and other important ministers of the court repeatedly urged the general to make an immediate decision so that the imperial court could quickly launch an attack and deployment.

Taiwei Xu Rong advocated attacking the middle of the country first, while Guangluxun Zhang Yan advocated attacking Luoyang first, and these two attack strategies had their own advantages and disadvantages, and it was difficult for Li Hong to make a decision for a while.

The first capture of Luoyang has a huge role in promoting the great cause of Zhongxing, and the benefits are self-evident. If Guanzhong is fought first, then the time to attack Luoyang will be postponed, and the longer the time left for Yuan Shao and other rebels to recover, the more difficult it will be to fight Luoyang, which is obviously not in line with the main purpose of the imperial court to quickly pacify the world.

Therefore, Xu Rong's strategy was not approved by the eldest princess and many ministers in Jinyang. Li Hong and Liyi, Zhao Yun, Yushi, Fan Li, Xun You, Fu Gan and other civil and military officials repeatedly discussed and weighed, and the debate was very fierce.

But as in the case of Jinyang, opinions are too divided. Li Hong wrote to Xian Yufu and asked for his opinion.

Xian Yufu replied simply, hit Luoyang, but Li Hong tended to hit Guanzhong first. He originally wanted to get the support of Xian Yufu, but now it has become the consensus of the civil and military officials of the imperial court to fight Luoyang, and only a few people insist on fighting Guanzhong first, which makes it difficult for Li Hong to make a decision.

The imperial court was obviously worried that Li Hong's decision was not conducive to the advancement of the great cause of Zhongxing, so after the beginning of spring, it hurriedly sent Huangfu Li to Chang'an again, and urgently transferred iron cavalry to Xiliang to meet Pang De, forcing Han Sui to make a decision as soon as possible to join forces with the Northern Xinjiang Army to attack Luoyang.

In the latest letter, the imperial court said that it had received a response from Huangfu Li, saying that Han Sui's tone had been relaxed, but the conditions were a little harsher.

Late at night, the Chinese army's tent was bright. The general stood in front of the huge map, looking at Guanzhong on the map, silently pondering.

Fu Gan walked lightly behind Li Hong.

"General, it's about to be time, you better go back, Madame is still waiting for you."

"I'm not going back." Li Hong shook his hand,

"I've already told Madame arbitrarily." Fu Gan knew Li Hong's temper, so he didn't persuade again,

"General, attacking Luoyang is a matter of expectation, why do you ......" Fu Gan wanted to speak and stopped,

"General, is there anything wrong with deciding to fight Luoyang?"

"Do you know who the ministers who oppose the attack on Luoyang are?"

"Lord Taiwei Xu Rong, Lord Liyi, General of the Left Guard, Lord Gai Xun, Lord Gai Xun, Lord Shaofu Qing, Lord Pang De, General Zhengxi, Lord Huaxiong, General Liwei, and you, the general." Fu Gan suddenly thought of something, and said in surprise,

"Xiliang people. Except for Lord Taiwei and you, they are all from Xiliang. ”

"Zilie (Xu Rong) has been in Xiliang for nearly ten years, and I have also known many Xiliang people, such as General Huangfu, your father, and Mr. Bian Zhang, Beigong Boyu......" Li Hong turned to look at Fu Gan and sighed softly,

"We all know what Guanzhong means to the people of Xiliang? That was the dream of the Xiliang people for nearly a hundred years, the hope of the Xiliang people to get rid of poverty and war, and the main reason why Bian Zhang and Han Sui held high the banner and betrayed the imperial court. Li Hong stretched out his hand and patted Fu Gan's back, and said helplessly: "Han Sui will never give up Guanzhong." ”

"But the court doesn't think so, and neither does the eldest princess." Fu Gan said,

"They think that with Hebei's current strength, it is enough to force Han Sui to bow down."

"Bow down?" Li Hong smiled bitterly and shook his head,

"In the first year of Zhongping, Bian Zhang, Han Sui, and Beiguan Boyu began to rise up, what was the strength of the imperial court at that time? Is it worse than the current imperial court? At that time, the strength of the imperial court was ten times and a hundred times that of the current imperial court, but did the Xiliang people surrender? Did you bow down? ”

"I'm very worried and scared, because today's imperial court has begun to be blindly arrogant, and has begun to think that the world is just around the corner, and the great cause of Zhongxing will also be within reach, and they have thrown all the lessons of the past out of the clouds." Fu Gan's face was heavy.

"I can say with certainty that Han Sui will soon agree to the request of the imperial court, and the Northern Frontier Army in Hedong will also enter Guanzhong immediately, but the Western Liang people will immediately turn against each other, and it is very likely that the entire Hedong Frontier Army will be wiped out. Even if Yang Feng and the Hebei Frontier Army successfully broke through, Hedong would definitely fall into war. The Northern Xinjiang Army fought on two fronts, and Hebei was unable to support it, so it could only give up attacking Luoyang and defend Hedong instead. Once Hedong is destroyed, Hebei's financial resources will be scarce, and the Northern Xinjiang Army will inevitably be in an emergency. Li Hong walked to the map and lightly tapped Guanzhong on the map,

"In this way, Han Sui's goal has been achieved, Hebei, Guanzhong, and Luoyang are standing on their feet, and we have lost the advantage of pacifying the world, and the battle behind will become more and more difficult to fight."

"Han Sui really dares to do this?"

"What do you think?" Li Hong smiled slightly,

"Han Sui has repeatedly struggled between life and death for more than ten years, and for him, peace, betrayal, and defection are as simple as eating, as natural as breathing air, and they come easily and effortlessly."

"Why didn't the general give an explanation to the imperial court?" Fu Gan hesitated for a moment and asked.

"Lord Taiwei is in Jinyang, and he will say everything he needs to say. If no one listens to his words, my speculation will be even less convincing. Li Hong pointed out outside the account,

"Except for Lord Kojiyi, how many people in this line think that Han Sui would dare to openly confront Hebei in today's situation? They are too far away from Xiliang, and they don't know much about the people of Xiliang, especially Han Sui. In other words, they don't know Han Sui at all. Back then, Lord Zhang Wen took us to beat Han Sui all the way to Jincheng, but what was the result? When I was ordered to be appeased, he was more powerful than me, as if it was not he who had lost the battle, but us. He was not discouraged under that disadvantage, not to mention that now that he occupies Guanzhong, there are strong reinforcements such as Yuan Shao and Liu Biao behind him. What is he afraid of? He has already controlled the initiative on the battlefield in Guanzhong, and he has an absolute chance of winning. As for Xiliang, he had nothing to worry about. Xiliang's mess, do you dare to ask for it? As long as he moves the Xiliang people to Guanzhong, we will have to face the front and back attacks of Han Sui and the Qiang people, how long can we stay in Xiliang? Xiliang is the people of Xiliang, and no one can stand on their feet. ”

"The advantage of the Great War in the Central Plains is that we entered the Central Plains and established the advantage of pacifying the world." Li Hong took a few steps back and forth in the big tent with his hands behind his back, and said in a low voice,

"The disadvantage is that the ministers of the court, including many generals of the Northern Xinjiang Army, think that Luoyang is already in the bag, and that the power of Hebei is strong enough to sweep the world."

"General, you must consider that if you strongly oppose the attack on Luoyang, the eldest princess and many ministers in the court may think that you have ......."

"Am I a usurper? Am I planning to do wrong? Li Hong laughed and shook his head indifferently,

"You don't think of people as mean. After so many years, I can see very clearly what kind of person I am. At this moment, whether it is the eldest princess or the ministers, the first thing that comes to mind is how to achieve stability and the purpose of Zhongxing Sheji with the fastest shortcut. As for trying to kill me, that's for the future. Since the day I entered the territory of the Great Han, there have been many people who want to kill me, but I am still alive, on the contrary, those who want to kill me seem to die quickly. Fu Gan smiled dumbly.

"Now, I want a reason, a reason to attack Guanzhong immediately." Li Hong stood in front of the map, crossed his arms, and said to himself.
