Since they have been appointed by Yue Shigong, 6 Yao and others can be regarded as returning to the sequence of the Great Jin Dynasty official army. (Please search, the novel is better and faster!) At that moment, the two took He Yun back to the camp with Liu Kun. The army's own medical officer He Yun treated.

He Yun saw 6 Yao, and naturally complained. It is indeed depressing, his speech and demeanor are not flawed, but he can't stand the Hun rangers being too fierce. He Yun was tied up all day, and he didn't know how many beatings he received, he was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, if it wasn't for Yue Shigong to save him, this half of the children would have been frightened and crazy.

Compared to He Yun, the villagers are even more miserable. Not only were the goods accumulated over the years looted, but two young men were killed and one was seriously injured, fearing that he would be disabled in the future. Such a loss was simply unbearable for that small mountain village. But even in troubled times, this is unthinkable. 6 Yao and Xue Tong were soft-hearted, so they secretly left some portable weapons for them, which could barely be used for self-defense.

At this time, Liu Kun's base camp was stationed in Huguan City. Huguan was sacked by the Huns just a month ago, and at this moment the city was in shambles, and many places were burned to the ground. The mansions of many high-ranking officials and dignitaries have been looted. Some of the people fled to the mountains during the war, and now they are coming back in pieces. Many of them are struggling to dig through the rubble, trying to find the bones of their family members and friends, and there are occasional outbursts of mourning.

There are too many corpses in this city that have not yet been disposed of, and if a large army enters the city, they are afraid of causing epidemics. Liu Kun's troops had to camp in the wasteland a few miles outside the city, reorganizing their horses and raising vehicles and grain and grass. Originally, it was said that the trip would start immediately, but in fact, it was already five days before everything was finally completed.

It turned out that when Liu Kun was ordered to take over the post of assassin of Bingzhou, the Xiongnu army had already raised troops to the south to coerce Luoyang. The two counties of Hedong and Hanoi are full of smoke, and the river bridges in Puban Mengjin and other places are cut off, and the roads are impassable. He was worried about the situation in the state, so he abandoned his vehicles and baggage, led hundreds of light horsemen to cross the Yellow River at night in small boats, and hurried all the way to the river.

Who knew that the situation in Bingzhou was even worse than Liu Kun expected. After the defeat of Daling, Sima Teng, who was sitting in the party, saw that the Xiongnu were powerful, and feared that he would be defeated, so he abandoned the city overnight and fled, and went to Yecheng. More than 20,000 military and civilian households in Bingzhou followed, and on the way, they were chased and killed by the Hun generals Liu Cong, Hu Yanyan and others. The people were dead and wounded, and the water was completely red. For the rest of the month, the situation in the state collapsed completely. The Xiongnu army swept through the north and south, and the soldiers were in the direction, and the famous cities and counties all fell. The people were scattered, and there was nothing left. And Jizhou actually caused trouble, there was a drama called Jisang, gathering tens of thousands of people to capture Anyang, Neihuang, Handan, Guantao and other cities.

Liu Kun originally planned to recruit soldiers in Shangdang and enrich the grain and straw, but how did he know that all the counties in the southeast of Bingzhou were burned to the ground by the Hu people, and the people were either taken captive or fled to the mountains, where could there be soldiers to recruit for a while? He had to go back and forth in Tunliu, Changzi, Xiangyuan and other places, and went to the mountains several times to visit the homeless sect marshal, and it took a lot of effort to finally recruit a team of thousands of people. However, there are only more than 1,000 strong people, but more than 2,000 are old, weak, sick and disabled. The food supplies he carried were already insufficient, so he was even more strained.

On this day, Liu Kun raised his account to gather people to discuss matters.

"General 6, please come with me." A bearded man greeted each other solemnly under the gate. This big man is one of Liu Kun's personal generals, who once used a sword to chop a horse in Xiangyuan and 6 Yao to make a move, surnamed Wang Xiu Zihao. This gentleman is a martial idiot, since the fight with 6 Yao, he admires 6 Yao's martial arts very much, and often uses the excuse to find 6 Yao to compete, so the relationship between the two is quite close.

6 Yao saw Wang Xiu coming to greet him, hurriedly walked a few steps in parallel with him, and solemnly returned the courtesy: "Don't dare to be, there is Brother Lao Zihao." When he first participated in the military conference, he couldn't help but be a little apprehensive, and he was sorting out his armor and robes along the way.

After passing through the two majestic armoured soldiers with halberd wings, they entered the tent. The tent ignited pine wood, exuding bursts of fragrance. In the middle of the tent is a very delicate case table made of solid wood, and after a few crossings, there is a huge screen that is four zhang wide, and the screen is the geographical map of the mountains and rivers of Hebei Prefecture. On both sides of the tent is where the officials are standing, and Liu Kun has not yet appeared at this moment, and several officials and generals are waiting. In a few moments, more than a dozen people arrived, and everyone greeted each other with a few words.

Although the tent was not small, with nearly twenty people standing, it seemed a little crowded. 6 He knew that his official position was lowly, and he only stood at the end of the left side. Listening to the greetings of a few people in front of me.

Standing on the left side of the generals is a veteran, square face, long gray hair, very majestic appearance, many officials in the account have saluted him, and he only nodded slightly, which shows that this person has a very high status, should be Yue Shigong's deputy, the general of the guard army appointed by Sima Ying, the king of the East China Sea, Ling Husheng.

The next person is Ding Miao and Ding Wenhao, one of the most brave generals under the command of Yue Shigong. This man seemed to be in his twenties, with a round face and slight hair, and his eyes were shining like lightning.

Many people under 6 Yao couldn't recognize it for a while, just with the momentum of standing upright, they were undoubtedly fierce generals who could conquer and fight.

The generals knew each other well and talked to each other. 6Haruka stood alone for a long time, but no one spoke to him. It is also understandable to think that Yue Shigong has led the army to the east and west for several years, and the generals under his command are invincible, and I don't know how much credit he has made, and he can really be called "proud soldiers". In the eyes of such fighting men, only those who are brave and good at fighting are good men. What kind of thing is the state army that was defeated by the Huns? As a defeated general in the Bingzhou army, he will naturally not be taken seriously by them.

In such a situation, I am afraid that it is a little embarrassing to change others. But 6 Haruka was very well cultivated, and only stood calmly at the end of the queue. However, Wang Xiu was a little embarrassed, and turned around and said to 6 Yao: "Daoming, your new military position, everyone is not familiar with each other. Come, and I will introduce you to the generals. ”

6 Yao was about to answer, when he suddenly turned out from behind the tent, and held a scepter on the ground for a meal, and shouted in a deep voice: "The lord has arrived." ”

The crowd was immediately stunned.

Liu Kun sat down after stepping into the case with staggering steps, and there was no expression on his sharply contoured face.

After everyone bowed down together, he took out a letter from his bosom and said straight to the point: "Everyone, today Wen Changshi sent an urgent report: the imperial court army and horses have been fighting against the Xiongnu, and the three counties of Hedong, Hanoi and Pingyang have fallen into the hands of thieves, and the Xiongnu vanguard has crossed Mengjin and threatened Luoyang. ”

The faces of the military generals only tightened slightly, and the civil officials suddenly became agitated. An official stepped out first, his sparse beard trembling, showing the extreme panic in his heart: "My lord, like this, the shape is in danger!" The connection between our army and Luoyang has been completely cut off, and it has become a lone army! ”

Liu Kun threw the letter on the table with a snap, nodded and said, "That's true." Hu was blazing, and the imperial court was busy mobilizing troops to defend Luoyang, and it was not possible to take care of the situation of merging states for the time being. We are alone in the tiger and wolf, there are no reinforcements outside, no food and grass inside, and the shape is critical! ”

The official exclaimed, "How can this be good?" Lord, do we still want to go to Jinyang? ”

Another official said: "In such a situation, how can Jinyang get it!" For today's plan, it is better to follow the example of Dongying Gong to go out of Fukou and go to Jizhou or Yecheng to take refuge temporarily. ”

Another person said angrily: "The mouth is steep, and it is the easiest to be pursued by the Huns, don't forget that the bones of tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians are not cold!" Are you trying to make me die? ”

Immediately another person came out and quoted scriptures to refute it. At the moment, the officials were arguing with each other, and no one mentioned the matter of going north to Jinyang, and they were only discussing how to escape from danger.

The generals on the left only showed disdain on their faces at first, and then the more they listened, the more angry they became, and finally one of them shouted: "You are sour, none of them have the blood of a man, they are all greedy for life and afraid of death!" ”

"Exactly!" Another general shouted: "Even if that Jinyang is surrounded by enemies on all sides, we are not afraid, shame and other bookworms!" ”

Another general said: "Why do you need to go to Jinyang? Isn't it good to keep the party? Before the words fell, some people supported and some refuted.

A group of civil officials and military generals quarreled with each other, and there was an uproar in the tent. And Liu Kun held his chin and watched the noise of everyone, showing an interesting expression.

The civil servant never spoke, and at this time he coughed lightly, and slowly stepped out of the column and shouted: "Stop! What kind of system is it in such chaos! The officials hurriedly confessed. But seeing that this man was forty years old, born with a face like a crown of jade, eyes like stars, five locks of long beard fluttering, and extraordinary spirit, he bowed down to Liu Kun and said loudly: "I wish to hear the lord's high opinion." ”

"Xu Zhonglang doesn't have to be polite." Liu Kun stretched out his hand to help him, so that Xu Zhonglang retreated into the column, it turned out that this person was engaged in Zhonglang Xu Run. Xu Runzi Zhiquan, a native of Weichang, Zhongshan, is Liu Kun's fellow villager. He has a rare reputation for talent, and is well-known for Confucianism, and Liu Kun is engaged in Zhonglang for the history of the state assassin. Because he not only has the ability to judge things, but also is good at music and rhythm, and plays the piano well, he is highly trusted by Liu Kun and is not comparable to others.

Turning around, Liu Kun suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to 6 Yao, who was standing on the outermost side, and called out in a loud voice: "6 Yao, you have been in Bingzhou for a long time and are familiar with the local situation." If you have an insight, you may want to speak freely! ”

6 Yao is thinking about it, at this moment, the Xiongnu army is gathering in the two counties of Xihe and Hedong at the junction of Bingzhou and Sizhou, and if Liu Kun, the assassin of Bingzhou, does not return to Luoyang, he will have to settle in the northern counties of Bingzhou. However, Leping, Yanmen and other places are limited by the geographical environment, which is obviously not suitable for the establishment of governance offices. Therefore, the only places that can be considered are Shangdang and Jinyang.

Suddenly hearing Liu Kun's call, 6 Yao couldn't help but be stunned. Fortunately, he already knows the advantages and disadvantages of these two places. So after a little muttering, he stepped forward: "The last general's view is not weighed. If there is anything inappropriate, I hope that the lord will forgive me. ”

Liu Kun waved his hand casually and said, "Why be polite, speak." ”

6 Yao bowed to Liu Kun, turned to the civil officials and asked: "In recent years, the world has been in turmoil, 6 Although a certain person is humble, he does not dare to forget the heart of worrying about the country, and often thinks about a question: What are the patients of the imperial court?" ”

A civil official sneered: "Why do you need to think about this? The patients of the imperial court are naturally Hu people. ”

6 Yao responded: "If the patients of the imperial court are Hu people, then it is not the trouble of the imperial court that Li Te, Li Xiong and others of Xishu are not the troubles of the imperial court?" Could it be that Jiangdong Chen Min, Du Tao and others are not the trouble of the imperial court? Could it be that Jizhou Jisang and others are not the troubles of the imperial court? Could it be that the traitor Zhang Fang and others who burned down the temple of this dynasty are not the trouble of the imperial court? ”

Xu Run muttered: "In this case, the patients of the court are those thieves who make trouble. ”

"What Xu Zhonglang said is extremely true!" 6 Yao clapped his hands and said: "The patients of the imperial court are thieves, not Hu." Now there is Wang Mijisang on the left of the Shangdang to disturb Jizhou, and there is the Xiongnu army on the right, and Li Ting, not far from the south, is where the main force of the Xiongnu ate a few months ago. This is really a Jedi who is attacked on the back and thieves on the left and right. ”

"What's more, the thieves in the north are in the same spirit, and there is a lot of collusion with each other. If the thieves of the merger plan to join hands, the party will become a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of the two of them. Although our army is brave, after all, there are few soldiers, how can we resist the enemy? Jinyang is different......"

The veteran Ling Husheng has been arguing with everyone in the audience without making a sound, and interjected at this time: "Jinyang is a side stopper, and there are a lot of Hulu. It is also a place where the five Xiongnu tribes gathered, but I am afraid that it is more dangerous than the party, right? ”

6 Yao shook his head and said: "I am in the four seas of the Great Jin, and the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister." Han, Hu, Qiang, Di, Barbarian, Yi, all such races, are the people of my Great Jin. Jinyang is indeed a border stopper, and there are Hu on all sides, but the west of Jinyang is Qiang Hu, and the species is different from that of the Xiongnu, and it is not a thief; To the north is Tuoba Xianbei, who was invited by the Duke of Dongying to fight the Huns, and he was not a thief; To the east is the section of Xianbei, this generation is friendly with the Anbei general Wang Jun, and he is not a thief. These three sides of the beard can be caressed and raised. If the lord is based in Jinyang, he slowly builds and recovers, and at the same time invokes the Hu on three sides to fight against the Xiongnu in the south, and steals that the annexation of the state can be determined, and the Xiongnu can be destroyed. Lord Fu Wei is a wise judge! ”

"Good!" Liu Kun took the case and couldn't help but say happily: "What everyone said today is reasonable, but only 6 clear words are deeply in line with my intentions!" ”

He paced back and forth a few times in front of the desk, pointed to the huge screen painted with mountains and rivers, and said in a deep voice: "Gentlemen, please see, the name of the state is called Bianjiao, in fact, its status is no less than that of the states in the heart of the Central Plains, and it goes south through Hanoi to Luoyang; It is adjacent to Jizhou to the east; To the north, many species of Hu Di can be brought to the aid of aid; On the west side, it was the battlefield of the fierce battle with the Xiongnu. At this time, here and now, it is the place where the warriors hold the bow and the horses and establish immortal achievements, which is not known to ordinary Confucian scholars! Since I am entrusted by the imperial court, even if there are hardships and dangers, I must not give up halfway; Wait to defeat the Huns, and then triumph with the kings! ”

As soon as the words fell, Xu Run came out and said in a loud voice: "Zeng Yun, the former Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: If you have extraordinary merits, you must treat extraordinary people." We are not talented, and we are willing to do our best to follow the Lord's public and extraordinary work! ”

Liu Kun laughed and raised his voice: "The generals will listen to the order!" ”

The tent Chinese Wu shouted loudly: "In!" ”

Liu Kun's eyes were like electricity, and he swept everyone in the tent one by one: "Tomorrow, pull out the camp and raise troops, and go north to Jinyang!" ”

Everyone agreed: "Yes!" ”
