"General Hou, how are you doing?" Lu Bu lifted the curtain and asked with a smile.

Hou Cheng felt a little embarrassed, but he didn't expect to worship the wrong carriage.

"General, please enter the city, there are many people outside the city." Hou Cheng hurriedly stepped forward and said.

"General Hou, this place is a merger, it's okay." Returning to the boundary of Bingzhou, Lu Bu was in a good mood, and looking at Hou Cheng's familiar face, he also felt very cordial.

"General Hou, let's let the lord go into the city for treatment, a thief injured the lord before." Dian Wei stepped forward and reminded.

"Where a thief dares to be so bold." Hou Cheng was suddenly furious, and the bulging green tendons on the back of his hand showed the anger in his heart.

"Okay, it's all a little thing, hurry back and yell out outside the city what it looks like." Lu Bu scolded.

"No." Hou Chengtie blushed, dozens of cavalry, guarding the carriage in the middle, anyone who injured the general, in his opinion, was unforgivable, he decided to ask Dian Wei for specific information later, to see if those thieves were so bold.

"Why are there so many ragged people outside the city?" After returning to Huguan, Lu Bu asked.

"The general is really for the people in Jinyang, and it has been spread all over the nearby states and counties, resulting in a lot of people passing by Huguan every day, most of them are some people who go to Bingzhou, and they are also in order to survive, and the soldiers guarding the pass are not embarrassed." Hou Cheng explained.

"Well, although this move is good, you still have to be careful, Huguan is very important for the state, there is no room for mistakes, you must distinguish it carefully, and strictly prevent the spies of the princes from mixing among the people." Lu Bu admonished.

"General, I've already arrested more than a dozen spies before." Hou Chengdao.

"Oh, who sent all these people?" Lu Bu said curiously.

"Yuan Shao of Jizhou, Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Cao Cao of Yanzhou, Yuan Shu of Yangzhou, Liu Yu of Youzhou, and Chang'an City." Hou Cheng was like a few treasures, and basically told the princes all over the place.

"Cao Cao? Liu Yu? "The others are okay, these two people sent spies to Bingzhou, so some can't say it, although Lu Bu secretly also sent someone to investigate the news, he thinks that his relationship with Cao Cao is not bad, and the Bingzhou army has rescued Cao Cao, Liu Yu is Youzhou Mu, and the well water of both sides does not interfere with river water.

It seems that I still think too simply, these princes are not simple, although the state is barren, it covers a vast area, and there is a lot to do, plus their big move in the state, the princes will definitely pay great attention to it.

"Carefully check the passers-by, and when you encounter suspicious people, secretly send people to follow them to see what these people are doing." Lu Budao.

Guarding Huguan is boring, although the distance from Jinyang is not far, it is still far from the center of power, Lu Bu comforted Hou Cheng and Cheng Lian, and set off from Huguan to Jinyang two days later.

After nearly two months, Lu Bu finally returned from Chang'an, in Lu Bu's opinion, the trip was a success, not only brought back the famous strategist Jia Xu, but also the great Confucian Cai Yong and Xiu'er at that time, and it was nothing to be injured.

During the period when Lu Bu left, Li Su lost weight again, especially since the actions of the Huns since the beginning of the spring, so that he had to act cautiously, although the army in the city of Bingzhou was expanded by 30,000, except for these soldiers who joined the army for a short time, there were less than 10,000 people who really had combat effectiveness, and the territory of Bingzhou was vast, and 20,000 people were used to defend the city.

In today's situation, the state seems to be stable, but in fact there is an undercurrent, and the attitude of officials in various places towards the state is not clear, and no one wants to let go of the power in their hands and be constrained by the state government.

After all, before the appearance of the position of state pastor, the thorn history of a state was very small, and the ordinary Taishou would not buy it, and the grade was there, and if the thorn history was changed to the state pastor, they were naturally unwilling to lose the power in their hands.

After the Huns moved to the territory of the Han Dynasty, they have been near Meiji in Xihe County, this Xiongnu is called the Southern Xiongnu, although they took refuge in the Han Dynasty, their living habits have changed, but the habits of the grassland are passed down from generation to generation, on the horse for the warriors and dismount for the people, although the art of riding and archery has dropped a lot, for the Han people, the Hun cavalry is still elite.

However, the Han people also looked down on these Huns, and the Huns were also people with their tails between their legs in the Han Dynasty, and they did not dare to act excessively, even if they suffered losses, they endured it.

At this time, the internal stability of the Huns was not stable, since the death of Lao Shan Yu, the tribes have been busy fighting for power, Lao Shan Yu's son Liu Bao asked for help in the imperial court, but at that time the Central Plains princes crusaded against Dong Zhuo, can only delay, Liu Bao has also been staying in the Central Plains.

Later, Liu Bao found Yuan Shao, the leader of the princes, in his opinion, since Yuan Shao is the leader of the princes, he must be a well-known figure in the Han Dynasty, and the power in his hands is definitely not small, as long as he shows an attitude of support for himself, why not get the support of the Huns, the influence of the Han on the Huns is still very great.

The Huns asked to see, at first Yuan Shao didn't care, what happened to the Huns, if it weren't for the mercy of the Han people, they were still eating sand on the grassland, how could they have a comfortable life now.

After Xu You got the news, he thought about it and said: "Lord, the Huns live in the territory of Bingzhou, why not win them over, and Lu Bu, who is new to Jizhou, if the Huns make a fuss, won't it make him anxious." ”

Yuan Shao's eyes lit up, for Lu Bu, he didn't have any good feelings, if it wasn't for Lu Bu, I'm afraid Gongsun Zhan had been defeated by him, for the matter of sending troops to Jizhou, he was angry, "Ziyuan, is there a good plan?" ”

Xu You glanced at Feng Ji proudly, and said slowly: "Lord, although the Huns moved to the territory of my Han Dynasty, the place where they live is not satisfactory, and they are discriminated against by the Han people. ”

Yuan Shao suddenly nodded and said: "What Ziyuan said is not bad, that Liu Bao is a descendant of Shan Yu, although he has lost power, his influence among the Huns is still not to be underestimated." ”

"The lord is high-minded, the lord is the lord of the alliance of the princes, powerful and famous outside the world, promising benefits, or can unite the Huns." Xu Youdao.

"Youzi is far away, why worry about Lu Bu." Yuan Shao laughed.

Feng Ji's face on the side was a little unsightly, Xu You could think that as a strategist, how could he not have imagined that he was just colluding with the Huns, and his reputation was ruined, although Lu Bu did not deal with Jizhou, it was an internal matter of the Han Dynasty, if it was mixed with the Huns, what would it become.

Feng Ji can endure it does not mean that Tian Feng can endure it, he directly scolded: "Xu Yu Xiaoer, shameless, the Huns are a foreign race, and the heart of the Han will not die, and now you are bewitching the lord and colluding with the Huns, which is a great crime." ”
