Chapter 8 Arrow on the Bow Section 1 Gongsun Zhan's death reached Jizhou ten days ago, and the general was worried about affecting the morale of the army, so he never told the generals in front.

Gongsun Zhan had a natural hatred for the Hu people, although the imperial court and the general repeatedly warned him to ask him to garrison Lulongsai and Feiru before the end of the Jizhou War, and to block the rebels in western Liaoning.

But the jealous and hateful Gongsun Chan couldn't listen to it at all, he first sent troops to Lu Longsai to attack and kill the Karasuma tribe in Youbeiping, and drove Wuyan, the king of Khan Lu, to the north of Dayan Mountain, and then sent troops to change Liucheng to attack and kill the Karasuma tribe in Liaoxi, and fought bloody battles with Badun and Su Fuyan.

Since the death of Qiu Liju, the king of Bailang, Bang Dun has led the three great tribes of Karasuma in Youbeiping, Liaoxi, and Liaodong, and his relationship with the Youzhou Prefecture has always been good.

Regarding the rebellion in Liaodong, he sent people to explain to Gongsun Zhan, Wang Ze, and Yu Peng on many occasions, saying that the situation in Liaodong was very complicated, and that the Xianbei people, Karasuma people, Fuyu people, Gaoguryi people, Lulou people, and Han people in Liaodong were fighting each other, and who provoked the war and who wanted to take the opportunity to occupy the border counties, it was not clear at present, and he hoped to gain the trust of the Han people and was willing to help the Han people quell the rebellion in Liaodong.

Gongsun Chan thinks that Badun is talking nonsense. He is strong in Liaoxi and Liaodong, and he doesn't know the situation in Liaodong, so who else knows?

If the Karasuma people resolutely stand on the side of the Han people, with the border armies of the three counties of Liaodong, Xuansu, and Lelang and the iron cavalry of the Karasuma people, the Xianbei king Kirbi Xiong and the Fuyu king Wei Qiutai will not be able to make waves at all, and the Goguryi people and the Lulou people will be even more vulnerable.

The culprit of the rebellion in Liaodong is the Karasuma people, that is, Bandun, kill these Karasuma people, and the rebellion in Liaodong will be quelled.

Wang Ze and Yu Peng tried to dissuade them many times, but Gongsun Zhan was stubborn and refused to accept it. He is the general of the expedition to the north, and he has the final say in the military affairs of Youzhou.

Wang Ze and Yu Peng were helpless. Gongsun Zhan has been fighting in the frontier for decades, and the lack of food and grass is a very common thing for him, without food and grass, he can run thousands of miles to kill the enemy.

Gongsun Zhan took 3,000 iron horsemen all the way to burn, kill and plunder, and there were no chickens and dogs left everywhere he went. The Karasuma people were enraged, and the hatred that had been there for many years was rekindled.

Badun then teamed up with Kirby Bear and lured Gongsun Chan to White Wolf Mountain. Gongsun Chan and his 3,000 iron cavalry were all wiped out.

Three days later, the Karasuma people sent Gongsun Zhan's head to Feiru City. The death of Gongsun Chan and the deterioration of the situation in Liaodong washed away the joy of Jizhou's victory.

"Who is the culprit of the Liaodong rebellion? What really happened in Liaodong? Ju Yi handed Yu Peng's letter to Zhang Yan beside him, and looked up at the general Li Hong.

"Why hasn't Bourham (Yu Peng) figured it out yet? What is he doing in Youzhou? ”

"Boham has been getting some news one after another." Li Hong hesitated for a moment and said slowly,

"Recently, many people in Liaodong have fled by boat to Youbeiping and Yuyang to spread some rumors, but because these news are unconfirmed, Bohan does not dare to play at will."

"General, can you tell me?" Yan Rou put down her hands covering her face and asked sadly,

"What's the news?" Li Hong pointed to Sima Yi and motioned for him to explain in detail.

"According to various rumors, we found that there is a problem with Liaodong Taishou Gongsun Du." Sima Yi said cautiously,

"Of course, this is just our guess." In one of the earliest reports, Gongsun Du said that the Xianbei people, Karasuma people, and Buyeo people joined forces to attack the three counties of Xuansu, Liaodong, and Lelang, and because Xuansu and Lelang counties were taken by surprise, the Taishou of the two counties were killed, so his army was divided into two routes.

went all the way north to kill Xuansu County, and all the way south to attack Lelang County, but the question is, does he have such strength?

If he had the strength to start a war on three battlefields at the same time, would Bian Jun Zhuhu dare to invade rashly? As far as we know, Gongsun Du has governed Liaodong very well in recent years, but we have never heard that he has expanded his army without authorization.

Since he didn't have so many troops, where did the army he used to fight against Hu come from? In the second report, Gongsun Du said that he was fighting fiercely with the Hu iron cavalry, and then there was no more news, and it was during this time that the people who escaped from Liaodong said that Gongsun Du and the Hu people had joined forces to rebel and wantonly hunt down the Liaodong wealthy clans who opposed him.

From the analysis of the above two situations, we can be sure that Gongsun Du did not have enough troops to fight against the Hu people, but he was able to occupy three or four border counties in a short period of time, and there is only one explanation, that is, Gongsun Du and the Hu people joined forces to rebel.

If Gongsun Du really rebelled, Bun Dun would definitely have a part in it, and even if he didn't participate, he would definitely have received the benefits of Gongsun Du, otherwise Gongsun Du would not have dared to launch a rebellion so blatantly, and Bun Dun would not have dared to deceive us so blatantly.

As for the killing of the Karasuma people by Lord Gongsun, the reason was precisely because the Karasuma people blocked the way for Lord Gongsun to enter Liaodong.

If the Karasuma people were really willing to help us and were willing to send troops to fight into Liaodong with Gongsun-sama, Gongsun-sama would never disregard the overall situation and wantonly kill the Karasuma people and provoke the Karasuma people at such a critical moment.

Gongsun Du rebelled, and the Karasuma people helped him openly and secretly, so what did Gongsun Du and Badun rely on?

Aren't they afraid of the Great General and our Iron Cavalry Army? We guess it has something to do with the Xianbei King Kirby Bear.

After the Jizhou War, Hebei was unable to raise troops again in the short term, but in the face of this situation in Liaodong, it could not be abandoned, especially after the death of Gongsun in battle, this battle had to be fought if it was not fought.

However, the number of troops we conquered in Liaodong was not too large, and although we sent troops, because our opponents were not only rebels, but also Xianbei people, Karasuma people, as well as Buyeo, Goguryi and Zhulou people, we may not be able to quell the rebellion.

After we put the limited troops and financial resources we can use into the battlefield of Liaodong, Kirby Bear's Xianbei Iron Cavalry will be able to enter the desert immediately.

The crisis of the Han Dynasty today is known to the whole world, and everyone knows the difficulties faced by Hebei. This is indeed the best time for the Xianbei people to retake the desert.

If the Xianbei tribes in the desert respond to Kirby the Bear, we will soon lose the desert. At this moment, Hebei's vitality has been greatly damaged, and the limited forces are trapped in the battlefield of Liaodong, and we can only watch Kirby Bear take away the desert.

Once the desert is lost, Kirby Bear can threaten Hebei from the north, so we can only withdraw from Liaodong and surrender Liaodong to Gongsun Du and Karasuma people.

And this is exactly what Gongsun Du and Badun relied on when they dared to join forces with the Xianbei people to launch a rebellion. Liaodong is nothing more than a decoy, a bait for Kirby Bear to try to recapture the desert.

This decoy included the rebellion of Gongsun Du, including the survival of the Karasuma, Buyeo, Goguryi, and Zhulou people in Liaodong, but this decoy was not very attractive to us at first.

But after Lord Gongsun Chan died in battle, this bait is a bait that we have to devour, a bait that we know will be bait.

There was silence in the tent.

"Lord Sima, what you said is all your speculation, or is Kirby Xiong ......" Koji Yi frowned, and asked suspiciously.

In his opinion, it is impossible for that kid Kirby to have this intelligence.

"I hope it's speculation too." Sima Yi smiled bitterly,

"But you adults can think about it, in the Sunset Plains War, before Murong Feng died, he neither handed over the Central Xianbei to Micah, nor did he hand over the Central Xianbei to Xiongba, but to the young Kirby Bear. This shows Murong Feng's trust and appreciation for Kirby Bear. This year, Micah not only handed over the Eastern Xianbei to Kirby Bear, respected him as the King of Xianbei, and helped him rebuild the Xianbei royal court, which is enough to show Kirby Xiong's ability. I'm sure that Kirby Bear aims to be in the desert, not in the tiny Liaodong. ”

"Bang ......" Yan Rou glared at Li Hong angrily and smashed his fist on the case.

"He should have been killed back then." Li Hong's face froze, and his expression was very complicated. Zhao Yun gently pulled Yan Rou and persuaded in a low voice: "Brother Ziyu, you don't know the situation back then, how can you kill him when both sides were defeated?" Aren't you embarrassing the general by saying that? "Kirby Xiong's relationship with the general, and Mrs. Fengxue, and the generals of the Northern Frontier all know that Yan Rou's words are really not timely.

But Gongsun Zhan's death greatly stimulated Yan Rou, and Ma Yi analyzed it just now, as if the key to the bait set by Kirby Bear was to kill Gongsun Zhan, which made Yan Rou furious, and he couldn't wait to jump back to Youzhou now.

"I'm going to Youzhou." Yan Rou arched his hand and said to Li Hong,

"Please give the order immediately." Li Hong smiled bitterly,

"Don't be in a hurry. At this moment, even if you rush to Youzhou, you won't be able to kill Liaodong before the heavy snow comes. The main purpose of this military meeting is to agree on countermeasures. After the discussion, if you insist on going to Youzhou, I can report to the court for you. Yan Rou knew that Li Hong was right, so she sighed sadly and bowed her head silently.

"Lord Sima, Kirby Xiong is determined to be in the desert, and Badun and Wei Qiutai are probably trying to survive, but what benefits can Gongsun Du get from it?" Koji Yi thought for a moment and asked again,

"What is the purpose of Gongsun Du's rebellion?"

"I don't know him, so I can't speculate." Sima Yi smiled apologetically,

"Back then, Gongsun Du was the long history of Lord Xu Rong, and he was a fellow villager with Lord Xu Rong. Gongsun Du was able to serve as the Taishou of Liaodong, or Lord Xu Rong's efforts. It is said that at that time, Lord Xu Rong asked Dong Zhuo for a holy decree, and Gongsun Du took office with this holy decree. As soon as Sima Yi said this, the generals in the big tent suddenly looked nervous, and even Yan Rou, who was sad and indignant, looked up at the general in surprise.

How did this matter get to Xu Rong's head? If there is a fact in the future that Gongsun Du has indeed betrayed the imperial court, then Xu Rong will definitely be implicated.

"Gongsun Du's matter is just speculation at the moment." Tian Chou hurriedly explained,

"Maybe now Lord Gongsun Du is fighting fiercely with the Hu people, so this matter is over, don't discuss it. The top priority at the moment is not to quell the rebellion in Liaodong, but to stabilize the desert and prevent Kirby Bear from joining forces with the Xianbei tribes in the desert to launch a mutiny. ”

"You wait......" Koji stood up abruptly. Sima Yi suddenly said that Gongsun Du was Xu Rong's long history at this time, there must be some kind of hint.

How many years of friendship between Lu Yi and Xu Rong, how could he not ask clearly.

"General, did the imperial court decide that Gongsun Du had rebelled and pointed the finger at Zilie (Xu Rong)?" Li Hong sighed.

Jia Xu, Tian Chou, Fu Gan and others looked worried. Lu Bu was shocked, then stood up and looked at Li Hong and said, "General, is this matter true or false?" Li Hong closed his eyes painfully and shook his head again and again,

"I want to split into four now...... Jinyang, Jizhou, Damo, Liaodong...... Okay, okay, the matter in Jizhou is settled, and I'll go back to Jinyang immediately. ”

"Great General......" Koji Yi was very excited and had to speak. But Li Hong interrupted him,

"There are too many things involved in the court, you don't know. Zilie will be fine. ”

"General......" Lu Bu shouted in panic

"As long as I'm still a general, no one can move Zilie." Li Hong waved his hand vigorously,

"Don't talk about it anymore." Koji shook his hand angrily and sat down. Lu Bu showed a hint of murder in his eyes, quietly snorted coldly, and slowly sat down beside Lu Yi.

Tian Chou continued his topic. He carefully analyzed the situation in Northern Xinjiang and the desert, and then said: "Judging from the current situation, Kirby Xiong's move is obviously after a long period of careful planning. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, think about last year, Budu first took the initiative to provoke a war and killed Qianman, and then Kirby Bear came forward to mediate back and forth in the Hu tribes, left and right. It not only showed his strength, but also won over the Xianbei tribes. And the reason why Budu has persisted until autumn is because of his secret support. This year, because Qian Man has died, Budu has also been driven to the extreme north of the desert, and there are no descendants of the royal court of Danhan Mountain, so Kirby Bear, with the support of Micah and Xiong Ba, successfully got the support of all the Xianbei tribes in the central and eastern regions, and sat on the throne of the Xianbei King without dispute. With his current strength, if he has the support of the Xianbei tribes such as Tuoba and Wuye, it is also possible to reoccupy the desert. Tian Chou looked around at the generals in the tent,

"Now that we look back, it's not hard to see that this was all designed by Kirby Bear with a lot of thought and a long time ago. If there is no Jizhou War this year, it is estimated that in a few years, when we go south to quell the rebellion, he will still have to do the same thing. Dominating the desert must have been his lifelong dream. Tian Chou turned his head to look at Li Hong, who was deep in thought, and raised his voice slightly,

"We all despise this young leader of the Xianbei people, he may become the second Murong Feng in the desert." Yan Liang spitted his nose,

"Zitai, how long has it been since you killed anyone? Are you a little bloody? ”

"Zishan ......" Li Hong roared sharply,

"Stand behind me. If your murderous temper doesn't change, give me a thief for the rest of my life, and don't go to the battlefield. Yan Liang saw Li Hong's murderous face, and he was a little panicked, and hurriedly ran to stand behind Li Hong, but he still looked disapproving.

Tian Chou glared at Yan Liang fiercely, pursed his lips gloatingly, and continued to speak.

"Before the Jizhou War, we had considered appeasing Budu Geng, and using Budu Gen to restrain Kirby Xiong, prevent him from becoming king in the desert, and reunify the Xianbei tribes. But because Kirby Xiong ...... "Tian Chou didn't want to praise this Xianbei man who had caused trouble to the big man, he shook his head and continued,

"Since the crisis in northern Xinjiang has formed, we intend to quell the rebellion in Liaodong at the same time, not only to concede more kings, but also to help the Tuoba tribe to become kings and the Wuye tribe to become kings."

"Lord Yan Wudaunt has already made contact with Budu, but Budu is more worried about being deceived and refuses our kindness. Considering that Budu is a descendant of Tanshi Huai and has a certain reputation in the desert, we still decided to invite Budu back. In this way, the Xianbei people have four kings, Budugen, Kirby Bear, Tuoba Tao, and Ink Shooting. ”

"Everyone wants to be a king, and after becoming a king, no one is willing to give up the king's position anymore." Tian Chou smiled slightly,

"If Kirby Bear wants to dominate the desert, he must first unify the Xianbei tribes, but now he can't unify the Xianbei tribes. If he forcibly fights, there are still Huns, Qiang and Karasuma people in the desert, and I believe that these three tribes will not want to see a powerful Xianbei tribe and a 'Tanshi Huai' who dominates the desert no matter what. ”

"Kirby Xiong's strength is much stronger than the other three Xianbei tribes, so it is necessary for the general to go to the desert at the end of this year or the beginning of next year. With the general personally sitting in the desert, Kirby Bear must not dare to touch the tiger's whiskers. At this time, as long as we put down the Liaodong rebellion, Kirby Xiong's dream was temporarily shattered. shattered Kirby Bear's dream, and it will be difficult for him to do anything in the short term, which is very crucial for us to go south to the Central Plains in two or three years. Tian Chou's strategy of stabilizing the desert has been unanimously agreed by the generals.

Li Hong asked Tian Chou to immediately submit this proposal to the imperial court.

"When will the general go north to the desert?" Zhong Xuan asked with a little worry,

"After the battle in Jizhou, the army urgently needed to take advantage of the favorable situation in front of it to expand outward quickly. In addition, the counterinsurgency in Liaodong is also very important. After the general returned to Jinyang, did he solve these two things first? Li Hong was silent.

"General, let's fight Qingzhou." Yan Liang suddenly leaned over to Li Hong's ear and said,

"It's too easy to hit Qingzhou now." Li Hong looked up at him,

"I want to fight Hanoi, but the imperial court has the same idea as you, to fight Qingzhou." Yan Liang's face changed, and he raised his body and closed his mouth.

At the request of the general, Fu Gan explained the reason for attacking Hanoi, and Lu Yi, Zhang Yan and others all agreed.

"On what grounds did the imperial court veto the general's proposal?" Zhang Yan asked.

"The court did not veto." Li Hong said,

"Because the Jizhou War has not yet ended, no one knows what the situation in the world will be after this battle, so the imperial court is only inclined to fight Qingzhou. It's up to me to decide which one to fight. ”

"Then let's hit Hanoi." Koji Yi hurriedly said,

"I'll fight, 20,000 people are enough." When he saw that Li Hong didn't say anything, he immediately changed his words again,

"Ten thousand people can do it. I can understand that the imperial court is financially tight. Li Hong smiled bitterly,

"The problem now is that if I give you the rest of the money and grain to go to Hanoi, then next year's attack on Liaodong will be delayed until May."

"General, don't listen to Li Wei crying poor, that kid must be lying to you." Yan Liang's big head appeared in front of Li Hong's eyes again,

"You go back and beat him a few times, and the money and food will be there immediately." Jump to
