The group continued along the mountain road. (Please search for the fastest novel website!)

Most of the north-south roads connecting Daidi and Jizhou are steep, and even though they have been vigorously repaired, they are still not so easy to walk. The roads suitable for cavalry were no more than a foot wide, and in many places the roads were covered with collapsed earth and rock, and the horses had to be led to cross them on foot. In an extremely steep place, everyone even had to wrap their waists with ropes, just in case. On both sides of the road are cliffs, the bottom is not deep, looking up, the sky seems to be only one line, and the giant trees and vines are growing in the middle, and there is a tendency to cover the sky and the sun.

I don't know when, the mountains are pouring rain. The knights who opened the way in front shouted loudly, reminding the people in the queue not to slip under their feet, and the voices of the knights behind responded one after another, drifting far away in the empty abyss valley.

The rain gradually soaked the robe, and Wei Cao had to roll up the corners of the robe and tuck it into the inside of the belt so as not to hinder his movement. What Team Leader Liu said was not bad at all, if he went out later, it would be too dangerous to walk on such a narrow road when it was dark.

Just thinking of this, Team Master Liu hurried over from the front and handed the hat in his hand to Wei Cao: "Duke Deyuan, please bring this." Bypass the mountain pass ahead, and you will almost reach Guangchang County! ”

Sure enough, after another half an hour, everyone's eyes were cheerful. The mountains receded like a picture, revealing the Daiji Plain surrounded by mountains. Through the rain and fog generated by the convergence of cold and hot air currents in the mountains, Wei Cao saw that the plains were full of flowers, rivers and belts, farmers were coming and going, and there were dock forts standing in the key passes between the mountains and rivers, sanitating the city in the center. Under the city, there are soldiers in the training team, although the number is small, but the queue is tight, and the sound of shouting and cheering is suppressed. On closer inspection, there seemed to be a few more masonry towers at the four corners of the city than he had seen when he left a few days ago, and a deep ditch had been carved out under the city, as if it was intended to be used as a moat by cutting through the river.

Gwangchang is just one of many counties under Daijun, but this beauty has fully demonstrated how vibrant the Daijun regime is.

From here, go downhill to Guangchang County and it will be a flat river. Shao Xu drove a few steps to catch up with Wei Cao. He raised his whip and pointed forward, and asked loudly, "What does Duke Deyuan think of me as a county?" ”

Wei Caozhen: "The land has been desolate for a long time, but it has flourished for a few months. The ancestral brother is really good at governance, and his reputation is well deserved. ”

He changed his words and continued: "However, after all, Daijun is only a county on the border, although the land is wide, it is only a square inch in the northern frontier, and although there are many soldiers, it is still difficult to compete with the Hu people's tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of iron cavalry; And 6 Daoming is only a county Shouer after all, a few months ago he was not a single army lord in a single state, and his power is still far from the hussar general Wang Jun and the Liaoxi public section Wu Buchen...... Why do you dare to seek Youzhou? And why did it induce Duan Xianbei's cooperation? ”

He stared at Shao Xu, and said slowly with a gloomy face: "In recent years, the Xianbei people have become more and more greedy and arrogant, and they are excessively demanding, even if Wang Pengzu is also struggling. I don't understand, what conditions did you agree to? ”

Shao Xu was stunned, and suddenly laughed out loud, looking very happy.

"Deyuan Gong is too worried, too worried...... We did intend to Youzhou, but we did not deliberately induce Duan Xianbei to echo. From beginning to end, it was Duan Bu who took the initiative to contact us and took the initiative to betray Wang Pengzu. ”

"What? How can it be? ”

This news was absolutely unexpected, and Rao is Wei Cao Chengfu was deep, and he was not only taken aback. And Shao Xu's face almost glowed: "Duke Deyuan, you are a wise man who knows the truth and reality of Hu and Jin, but you may have been an official in Tuoba Xianbei for too long, so that you habitually overestimate the courage of Hu'er and underestimate my lord." You haven't thought about what the rise of my lord represents in the eyes of the Xianbei powerhouses in the east. ”

"Brother He, you might as well talk about it."

Shao Xu waved the whip in his hand and talked eloquently: "The confrontation between the Hu people in Northern Xinjiang and the Central Plains regime has been recorded in historical records to this day, and it has lasted for thousands of years without end. When the Hu people in northern Xinjiang were strong, they invaded and plundered in the south, burning, killing, and plundering everything; And when China is strong, it will be able to lead the army to the north, expel the Hulu, and hang the barbarian mansion on the street to show that the man who commits a strong man will be punished even if he is far away! Zhao has Li Mu, Qin has Meng Tian, Han has Wei Qing, Huo Quzhi, Chen Tang, Dou Xian, even in the late Han Dynasty funeral, Emperor Cao Wei Wu conquered Wuhuan and Tuliucheng, making the strong Wuhuan who had been roaring north for hundreds of years collapsed from then on. Even if the border armament has been sluggish since the Wei and Jin dynasties, the Hu people are subject to the control of famous ministers and fierce generals, and even if they succeed for a while, they will inevitably fail after all. There is a Xianbei handsome man who is more capable than Ke, although he controls tens of thousands, but he has repeatedly been defeated by Tian Yu, Zhao Zhao, and Liang Xi, and finally died at the hands of assassins. There is a Hexi tyrant who is said to be a bald tree function, even though he ravaged Qin Liang, but he was defeated by the sharp edge of Ma Long's 3,500 warriors, and he was destroyed in a battle, and collapsed like an avalanche. Not to mention that just last year, Liu Kun, the assassin of Bingzhou, retreated from the enemy and shot away the 100,000 army of the Huns! In this way, the Hu people are afraid of China, just as China is afraid of the Hu people. ”

"The lord of my family is outstanding and small, entrusted by Ji and the two states, to pacify the land and the dam, and wherever he goes, Rong Di looks at the wind and descends, and is willing to be the forerunner. Wang Pengzu was a jackal, and raised tens of thousands of Hu Jin to attack the territory, but it was difficult to stop the generals from leading the crowd to attack, and they should be dispersed. This kind of military might is rare in modern times, and it not only frightened Youzhou, but also deeply shocked the Xianbei ethnic groups in the east. They must and must regard our Daijun as a powerful force to contend with...... Does Deyuan think so? ”

Shao Xu did not emphasize that the 6 expedition to the north was a good opportunity to take advantage of the civil strife in Tuoba Xianbei, but there is no doubt that this military operation in northern Xinjiang was enough to deter the Hu people, and it was indeed a feat in modern times. After repelling the Youzhou Army with Duan as the core and occupying the vast land north and south of Yanshan, Daijun's strength also swelled. With the elite soldiers and strong generals that have been miraculously tempered in the past few months, they are enough to make the Hu people feel fearful!

Wei Cao was slightly vigilant, maybe he was old and his thinking had become rigid, so he was accustomed to Tuoba Xianbei's strength, and underestimated the lightning-like rise of Daijun. He chuckled, "Yes, it is. ”

Shao Xu continued: "Let's analyze the Xianbei tribes in the east again. Although they have a large number of troops, they have competed with each other for decades, containing each other, and each has its own unique dependence. The strength of the Murong Department was the strongest, as early as the tenth year of Taikang, its leader Murong Diao was appointed as the governor of Xianbei by the imperial court, and their sphere of influence was east of Changli, bordering Goguryeo, Buyeo and other countries, and the direction of expansion also lies in him. Although the name of the Yuwen Department is Xianbei, it is actually a Xiongnu species, and its leader Xun Yanyan is the son-in-law of Tuoba Lu Guan, and his power is east of Weiyuan and west of Liucheng. Compared with these two, the sphere of influence of the Duan Department is in western Liaoning, and the region is the most narrow; Although it claims to control 50,000 strings, its strength is also the weakest. May I ask De Yuangong, what does the Duan Department rely on to confront the Yuwen Department and the Murong Department? ”

Wei Cao muttered: "The relationship between the Duan Department and the imperial court has always been close, in the Youzhou Army, the strength of the Duan Department accounts for half, and there are many Zhu Hu as generals, so Murong, Yuwen and other Hu people dare not confront the Duan Department head-on. Come to think of it, Duan Bu relies on Wang Pengzu's support? ”

"It was Wang Pengzu who married his daughter to Duan Wu Bechen, it was Wang Pengzu who promoted Duan Bu Hao to a large number of generals, and it was Wang Pengzu who gave Duan Bu the title of righteousness and gave Duan Wu Bechen the status of the Duke of Liaoxi. What Deyuan Gong said is extremely true, Wang Jun, the assassin of Youzhou, did give Duan a huge support. However, this time, the history of Youzhou Thorn is no longer an object worthy of Duanbu's reliance. ”

"Brother Si means ......"

"After Wang Pengzu's defeat in the battle of Weiyuan, his strength and prestige have declined. Because he was well aware of Hu Er's habit of respecting the strong, and was afraid of losing the authority to command Hu, he risked sending troops to Jizhou regardless of a single step to turn the situation around. But he didn't notice it when he was anxious, and at the same time, the pressure on Duan was even greater. Their forces suffered heavy losses in the defeat of the Huiyuan, which was enough to change the balance of power between the Xianbei tribes in the east. ”

"The Murong Department and the Duan Department are originally feuding, and the Duan Department has been sheltering Murong Nai's son Murong Longcheng for more than ten years, constantly harassing the Murong Ministry, which has made the Murong Department extremely dissatisfied. Murong Diao, the leader of the Murong Department, is a rare British lord, and he will never let go of the opportunity to take advantage of the situation to overwhelm his old opponent. Shao Xu raised his arms and signaled to the cavalry who had reached the bottom of the gentle slope, and then urged the horses to go down the mountain road: "On the other hand, before the defeat of the Yuyuan, the Duan Department induced the Yuwen Department to fight with the Wulu Hui Department in an attempt to monopolize the grassland on the dam, which in turn aroused the fury of the Yuwen Department. It is said that Yuwen Xun Nick Yan is fighting hard and vowing to take revenge, but the Duan Department was defeated by the thunderous blow of my lord on the grassland, and after the loss of the army, what will be used to resist the revenge of the Yuwen Department? The Liaoxi Public Section is known for his resourcefulness and good judgment, but unfortunately although his plan is big, he has calculated himself to be in danger. ”

Shao Xu smiled mockingly: "In order to deal with the crisis, Duan Wu Buchen went to Jicheng to visit Wang Jun in person, regardless of his old age. But Wang Jun had no intention of meeting Duan Wu Buchen at all, but instead went south to Jizhou with the army under his command, and even took away the only remaining powerful army led by Duan Wenyang. When it was, everyone in Duan was frightened, and Duan Mobo, who was captured by our army on the grassland, returned to Lingzhi at this time and brought the goodwill of Daijun to the Duke of Liaoxi. ”

Wei Cao sighed deeply: "Sure enough, Hu Er's wolf heart is the most untrustworthy, I probably know what will happen next......"

"That's right......" Shao Xu also sighed: "Duan Bei needs to find new supporters, and we need Youzhou, these two goals are one and two, two and one, and they can be regarded as one." In comparison, what are the grudges forged in the Weiyuan War? In the next two days, Duan Bu arranged all the qiē. We're just going with the flow......"

At this point, everything that should be understood has been understood. Wei Cao was originally a resourceful person, and after thinking about many details, there was no doubt.

The reason why the Youzhou army raided Changshan was obviously because of Fang Qinzhi's bewitchment, which made Wang Jun think that 6 was here.

And blaming Liu Yan for Wang Jun's death can involve Liu Kun, the assassin of Bingzhou. In order to speak for his nephew, Liu Kun must denounce Wang Jun's behavior to prove that he is extremely guilty and innocent.

Liu Yueshi was the general of several cities in the East China Sea, and he also had considerable influence on the center of the imperial court. Since he came forward, with the statement of the Jizhou side impeaching Wang Jun for not patrolling and watching the Shile thieves run rampant, and the statement of the Daijun side impeaching Wang Jun for openly attacking friendly forces, and considering the psychological state of the king of the East China Sea who was furious because of the Shile thieves' big advance into the Central Plains...... I am afraid that Wang Jun and Wang Pengzu, who are afraid of the northern frontier, can only die so inexplicably.

Since Wang Pengzu died suddenly, both the Murong Department and the Yuwen Department are facing a completely different situation. Duan Bu thus got a chance to breathe, and the next step of the Daijun Army will be to rush to Youzhou to stabilize the local situation. Of course, this is all out of loyalty to the imperial court, and the Youzhou shogunate must only be grateful, and no one will make accusations.

Wei Cao felt a little emotion and a little frightened in his heart. After all, Wang Jun is a rare strong figure in the town of the Great Jin Dynasty, and he led the army into the Central Plains several times, laying the foundation for the kingship of the East China Sea. However, since he was an enemy of Daijun, he died under military and conspiracy methods, and after his death he was attacked and denied mourning. Wang Jun's own arrogance is certainly the way to death, but 6 Yao and Shao continued...... Wei Cao couldn't believe that 6 Yao was the righteous young general he saw on the grassland, and he couldn't believe that Shao Xu was the down-and-out soldier he had known for many years...... They are planning to be a hussar general, a historian of Youzhou, and a prince of Boling County! Why do they act so carelessly? Don't they have the slightest reverence for the discipline of the imperial court?

Wei Cao loosened the front of his wet robe a little more to make his breathing a little easier, his mind turned sharply, and he thought of an important place: "Brother Ancestor, I don't intend to investigate more about those details, only one thing is still unclear." ”

"Duke Deyuan, please speak."

"Brother Si's plan has caused the assassination of Youzhou to death, and there must be countless follow-up steps. However, just yesterday, Liu Shiren received an urgent report from Guangzong, and 6 Daoming disappeared after accompanying the Jizhou envoy to Chiping. 6 If there is anything in the way, even if the county is ambitious, it will be empty...... Isn't my grandfather worried about this? ”

Shao Xu smiled and shook his head: "We are too concerned about the situation in Hebei, and it is too ordinary people to imagine that almost every caravan between the north and the south is accompanied by spies sent by Daijun. Therefore, the whereabouts of my lord at the moment are not out of control. ”

"I think it's a secret, brother, I won't ask. You don't need to say more. ”

"No, no......" Shao Xu smiled: "The lord admires and trusts Deyuan Gong very much. Before leaving Daijun, Zeng specially confessed that there was no need to hide anything from Deyuan Gong. ”

When you coaxed me to Lingshou as bait, didn't you hide it from me? Wei Cao scolded in his heart, but he had to ask cooperatively: "In this case, where is 6 Daoming now?" ”

"The one we planned can only make the current Youzhou Assassin King Peng Zu conferred, but it may not be able to guarantee the candidates appointed by the imperial court. Youzhou is far away and difficult to treat, so it is very likely that the center will give another general to come to it. The lord is in Yecheng at the moment, and he will try his best to influence the judgment of the king of the East China Sea to ensure that the land is obtained from Youzhou. ”

"The king of the East China Sea is in Xuchang, what did he do when he ran to Yecheng in 6 years? In addition to a scholar and servant in Yecheng, there are no other important ministers in Yecheng, how can he influence the judgment of the king of the East China Sea in Yecheng? Wei Cao only felt a little dizzy, it seemed that every word Shao Xu said had some plausible truths, and there were many things hidden that he didn't understand.

"Ahem......" Shao Xu's face was a little strange: "This matter, don't worry about this matter, the lord naturally has a way to influence the king of the East China Sea." ”
