There is no news in the Central Plains, and the news across the world cannot fly from Sili to Qingzhou like wings, and then take a boat from Qingzhou to Youzhou Liaodong Yanbei. After more than ten days after the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info made the decision to plant and repair the canal in the spring of the next year, Sun Qing took Tai Shici's mother and two servants to Wenxian County, got off the boat and rested for two days before being sent to Xiangping by carriage.

Yanbei on the side of Xiangping drove the craftsman to set up another yard next to Bingyuan's house, accompanied by good scenery and suitable for elderly people.

It seems that everything is ready, but the east wind came later than Yanbei imagined.

It wasn't until late July that the cavalry from Jizhou finally came back and brought back the news of Zhongshan and Changshan counties.

This news was nearly a month later than Yanbei's order, and Yanbei estimated the degree of chaos in Jizhou Black Mountain several times, thinking that maybe five hundred cavalry soldiers would not be able to return...... In fact, it was almost the same, the scouts scattered all over the country had lost contact with each other, and even by the end of July, only about thirty horsemen had gathered in the territory of Zhongshan Kingdom.

More than 400 riders lost contact in the chaos.

Jizhou has become a killing ground for hundreds of thousands of outlaws, and the various departments of Montenegro have conquered each other to poison the people...... In just half a year, countless Jizhou people ran to Youzhou for refuge like Zhen Yao's family.

Liaodong County Office, Yanbei gathered various ministries to ask questions. This is the first time that the generals in the county have discussed after taking over as the Taishou of Liaodong. Wang Dang and Li Damu, the commanders of the two northern and southern departments, Gao Lan and Lu Yi, the lieutenants of the garrison, Sima Zhangjaw of the other departments, Shi Tai Shici, and even Sun Qing and other county lords all gathered here.

Sitting at the top is Yanbei.

"The rider brought back the news of Jizhou, Yan wants to raise troops to conquer Montenegro...... Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think? Yan Bei asked, his face sinking as he beckoned the county bureau officials to send the copied Jizhou situation to the ministries, looking at the expressions of the generals, he didn't know if he wanted to start a war at this time, and these subordinates loyal to him would support him. Let's take a look at the situation in Jizhou. ”

The generals had different expressions, some had anger on their faces, and some looked like they had nothing to do with themselves, but Li Damu was the first to speak: "General, I don't understand this, we support you as the lord of Liaodong, so naturally you say that you will fight us, and if you say you don't fight us, you will stay in Liaodong...... But I want to know, what mistake did the Montenegrin brothers make, and the general is going to fight them? ”

"Ugh."

Yan Bei sighed, to be honest, this was the question he was most afraid of. Li Damu, Sun Qing, Wang Dang, Zhang Leigong, these four brothers who followed him first in Jizhou all came out of Montenegro, it is difficult to guarantee that they will have doubts about this use of troops, but on the contrary, what can Yanbei say about what they are wrong? Do you say that the Black Mountain thieves raided the county and killed the chief?

Joke! What are the few counties he conquered in Yanbei? It was a rebellion, and it was also his Yanbei rebellion that came earlier.

Before Yan Bei could speak, Wang Dang looked at the bamboo slips at a glance and said to Li Damu: "Don't worry, Montenegro has really done it this time...... General, it's a good thing that you took us over to recover the county, they are all from peasant families, even if the general doesn't ask for it like them, there will be others to ask for it in the future, but what good can we do to crusade against them? In all fairness, attacking Jizhou is not a Youzhou affair, let alone our affair, this is a thankless task! ”

Yan Bei listened to Wang Dang's words and nodded slightly, and at the same time had some praise for Wang Dang in his heart. I heard that when Wang Dang was stationed in the southeastern part of Liaodong, he invited the old Confucian of the local township to the camp, and he also practiced some literature and education on weekdays, which was regarded as enlightening himself, and Yanbei thought it was a false rumor in the army at that time, but now it seems to be a true thing.

Sun Qing, who was sitting on the side, saw Yan Bei's eyes and hurriedly arched his hand and said: "The general is kind to Sun Mou, and his subordinates are driven by the general, and there is nothing to say." ”

The generals of all armies knew the past origins of the four generals of Montenegro under Yan Bei's command, and they also knew that what Yan Bei wanted to ask for most at this time was their meaning, so naturally no one would intervene. Zhang Jaw is even more clenched in his fist, the words between the Black Mountain Calamity River in the book are very dazzling, if Yan Bei asks him, the answer definitely has nothing to do with whether to fight or not, but how to fight!

"Lei Gong, why don't you speak?" Yan Bei saw that Lei Gong was sitting down and was silent, and said, "Tell me, what do you think?" ”

"The subordinates didn't think about anything." Lei Gong's face was very indifferent, and when he heard Yan Bei's question, he even smiled with his hands, "The subordinates' legs are useless, and the war horse can't be ridden, what else is there to say and think?" The general has great ambitions, and there is naturally a reason why there are generals in Montenegro...... Lei Gong couldn't get on the horse and dance the knife, so he naturally didn't intervene in this war. ”

Yan Bei looked at each other speechlessly, but there was a bit of compassion in his eyes.

As a fellow martial artist, what could be more sad than knowing that he would never be able to get on a horse again in this life? What's more, a fighting man like Lei Gong has no lofty ambitions, it is nothing more than the pleasure of indulging in a bow and horse, and wielding a knife will determine life and death. Losing a leg alone is enough to be disheartening.

"Montenegro, in Yan's heart, is to beg. This has nothing to do with national affairs and ambitions, it is nothing more than kindness. Zhongshan Zhen is kind to me, the eldest brother Zhen Yan set himself on fire for the coercion of the Black Mountain thieves, this is a personal enmity between Montenegro and Yan, this is one of them; The matter of Jizhou is not the matter of Liaodong, but Yan's soldiers are not the soldiers of Jizhou? How many people from Jizhou are there? This is the second one; Yan Yu Mengyi, hit Gongsun, all the soldiers of the Han family were broken, and the troops sent to Jizhou were the Kou of the Ping Han family, which was the third; ”

Yan Bei didn't finish his words, but who below couldn't hear what he meant, what he actually wanted was to let the world's understanding of him from a rebel general to a Han general through this war of counterinsurgency...... Therefore, it is not much honor to sharpen the knife to Montenegro this time, but it is just forced by selfishness.

"Therefore, Yan not only wants to send troops to Jizhou to conquer Montenegro, but also to leave the soldiers in Jizhou's families, as long as they are still alive, all of them will be moved to Liaodong." Yan Bei saw that the four generals of Montenegro did not have much resistance to this battle, so he naturally put his mind at ease, and said with his hand: "Gentlemen, are there any opponents?" ”

Even Li Damu didn't say anything, and the generals and officials in other people naturally wouldn't say anything, as for the thorny head like Lu Yi, who had been waiting for a foreign war for too long, he almost jumped up and asked for a fight, so naturally he wouldn't have a second word. The officials in the county were speechless when they saw the frustration, who would disobey Yanbei in this kind of matter?

No one put forward a different idea, Yan Bei nodded lightly and said: "Then, this is the matter of sending troops to Jizhou to quell the rebellion, and Yan then sent a letter to the state government to ask for war." After the monarchs went back, they asked the subordinates and soldiers, and wrote down the families who were still in Jizhou, and submitted them to the county government within a month. This time in Jizhou, the Captain of the Koji School, the Yanzhao Warriors, and the Zhang Junyi Commanders will jointly fight, and the High School Lieutenants and Fu Taishou will defend Liaodong. ”

There are more than 2,000 people in the school captain department of Lu Yi, and the Zhang Jaw Department has only made up for 1,000 people, and the Yanzhao warrior staff has 2,800 people, a total of more than 6,000 soldiers and horses.

Hearing this, he arched his hand and said, "General, can you be sure that 6,000 soldiers and horses will enter Jizhou?" ”

He felt that Yanbei was a little too big, and the chaotic Black Mountain thieves in Jizhou had been fighting for more than half a year, but there were still more than 100,000 people scattered all over the prefecture and county. What's more, the combat strength of the Montenegrin army should not be underestimated, and the soldiers and horses of the state capital fought against the thieves in Zhuo County and Dai County many times, but they were defeated and unable to achieve results. No matter how elite Yanbei's soldiers and horses are, 6,000 people will penetrate Jizhou, where more than 100,000 black mountain thieves are rampant, but they are afraid that they will be swallowed up if they can't even fight a splash.

"It's okay, in addition to the headquarters, I want to recruit another 2,000 from the Wuhuan other troops to attack, and ask the state capital soldiers Cao to enter Jizhou with the state soldiers." Among these soldiers and horses, the Wuhuan people are relatively easy to levy, but the conscription of state soldiers needs to look at the face of the state capital, Yan Bei said these and said to Sun Qing: "How many boats are there in Wenxian Shuizhai now, if you want to pass Jizhou, can there be a waterway?" ”

Sun Qing folded his fists with an embarrassed face and said: "General Hui, there are forty-six boats and nearly 100 small boats in Shuizhai, but there are no big ships and fighting ships. Although the water and land of Tongji Prefecture can be walked, it is necessary to pass through the two ports of Quanzhou in Yuyang County and Haiyang in Liaoxi County to go back and forth from Wenxian County to Bohai Sea. ”

Yan Bei frowned and pondered for a moment, "That's it, there is still your fleet on the island in Qingzhou, right?" ”

Seeing Sun nodding lightly, Yan Bei said: "Well, if you send troops, just wait for the news, and you may transport some things to Liaodong by land and water." ”

Yan Bei didn't think about anything else, naturally it was the weapons and armor that sank into the Julu Continent and the nearby mountains when he was in Jizhou during the rebellion, and I am afraid he will forget those things in a few years. Now, if there is a suitable opportunity to get it back, even if it is not needed for the time being, it is better to replenish the arsenal than to sink in the mire.

There are not a few of those armors!

However, there are not many generals who know about this matter, and the two cronies of Wang Yi and Jiang Jin have been sent to southeast Liaoning and Goguryeo, so the generals don't know what Yanbei wants to send back, but they can guess what kind of unsightly things they are.

Otherwise, why not take the land route from Youzhou?

"Gonghe, it is up to you to write the request to the state capital, and it is clear to Liu Gong that the thieves in Montenegro will be able to solve their urgent needs with the grain they have harvested this year, and they may join forces to attack Youzhou in the north, and invite the soldiers of Youzhou to quell the rebellion in preparation for the attack. It was written, and someone was sent to the state capital. Yan Bei said, and suddenly said emphatically, "Let's not say that Yan is asking for war, if Liu Gong wants to fight, the first thing that comes to mind must be Yan...... He didn't want to beat Yan and go to the state capital to persuade again. ”

At this time, Yanbei really can't think of anyone Liu Yu can use in addition to himself if there is a war against Linzhou in Youzhou. Not to mention that the state capital can fight against Montenegro is the Xianyu brothers, that is, counting the Fenwu generals who are recruiting troops, these two armies together are not as many troops as Yanbei can use.

Of course, this does not rule out that Liu Yu's brain is hot to reorganize the people fleeing from the two prefectures of southwest Qingdao and Hebei into a 'Xizhou army', but what combat effectiveness can the newly integrated soldiers and horses have?

In Yanbei's view, if he wants to fight, he Yan is the first choice for Youzhou to move soldiers, as for Fenwu Bogui? Lean back!
