That's right, these people want to take the opportunity to plot against Jizhou. Lu Yao looked at Shao Xu's face, which had become more and more clear because of his hard work for days, and gasped and understood what he meant.

Ding Shao is a rare feudal official who is sincerely loyal to the king. He embraced Dong Zheng's ambition from all over the world, and in Jizhou for several years, he not only appeased the people, persuaded the peasants, but also rectified the armament, killed thieves and caught thieves. Although the Shile thieves were rampant, with Ding Shao here, the Jizhou army was like a boulder, so that they could only run along the line of the big river, and they could not break through. On the other hand, Ding Shao's status as a general of Ningbei and the military of Jizhou can be maneuvered between Wang Jun and Gou Xi, and when King Xin Cai died and Yecheng lacked a powerful figure to sit in charge, Ding Shao was undoubtedly an indispensable cornerstone for the imperial court to stabilize Hebei.

Lu Yao couldn't help but sigh deeply, he could imagine how Ding Shao, who was over fifty years old, worked hard day and night in order to fight against the fierce and cunning Shi Le thief, so that his body could not support it. However, as soon as the news of his serious illness came out, You, Yan'er Town, which should have worked together with Jizhou, couldn't wait to act, these two fierce beasts armed to the teeth never did anything that was not profitable, and Jizhou had become a fat meat that caused the giant beasts to salivate at this moment......

"Wang Jun, Gou Xi." Lu Yao muttered.

Lu Yao will not see Wang Jun clearly because he is a defeated general. Lu Yao was able to defeat Wang Jun by 10,000 or 20,000 people, but this hussar general commanded many Hu tribes in the northeast and had terrible war potential. You must know that in the second year of Yongxing, Wang Jun, who fully mobilized the Youzhou Iron Cavalry, led the army south from Jicheng, captured the prefectures and counties along the way, defeated the famous generals, and finally joined forces with the King of the East China Sea to reach the city of Chang'an and take Emperor Hui back to Luoyang!

The fiasco at Bashang Grassland would undoubtedly greatly shake Wang Jun's prestige, and even more problematic his control over the Hu tribes. It is precisely because of this that the injured beast is even more eager for prey, Wang Jun desperately needs a victory to maintain his position, and needs some harvest to satisfy the greedy Hu'er, the news of Ding Shao's critical illness undoubtedly made Wang Jun see the direction, but such a result really doesn't know whether to make Lu Yao feel proud or sad.

As for Gou Xi...... Lu Yao had never dealt with this gentleman, but his prestige was already like thunder. Gou Xizi Dao General, a native of Shanyang, Hanoi, was originally recommended by the King of the East China Sea to serve as the general secretary of Lingshi and Yangping Taishou, and has always been regarded as the descendant of the King of the East China Sea. During Gou Xi's tenure as the assassin of Yanzhou, he led the army to conquer the east and west, and successively defeated Jisang, Lu Lang, Liu Bogen, and Gongshi Liang, so he was recognized as a general who was proficient in the art of war and could be called the current Han Bai.

It's just to exterminate the thieves, and compared with Han Bai, it is too famous, but Gou Xi is extremely strict in governing the army, and his subordinates are like arms and fingers, and he does have the demeanor of a famous general in ancient times. It is said that once, the son of Gou Xi's aunt asked to join the army as a general, and Gou Xi said: "If I don't use the king's law to lend people, I will have no regrets?" But his aunt's son insisted on serving in the military, and Gou Xi had no choice but to appoint him as a guardian. Later, he really violated military law, and Gou Xi beheaded the place according to the routine, although his aunt cried and begged for favoritism. Later, he cried and mourned and said: "The one who killed the Qing Dynasty assassinated the history of Yanzhou, and the one who cried his brother Gou Dao will also." "Such people, if they are not saints, are evil people who are contrived to the extreme.

Gou Xi's troops are all elites who have been in battle for a long time, and their power is extremely strong; Over the years, there have been many killings with his army, and he has won the terrifying name of "Butcher". The king of the East China Sea made a brotherly alliance with him, and never regarded him as a subordinate. And Gou Xi himself is not a subordinate person, and his actions are not only not subject to the constraints of the King of the East China Sea, nor can they be restricted by the imperial court. In recent years, it has been rumored that he has unspeakable ambitions, although absurd, but it does reflect Gou Xi's arrogance.

If the forces of these two people enter Jizhou in a big way, there will be a Shile thief who has been running rampant in Hebei for many years, and Jizhou will have to be troubled from now on. Can we only sit back and watch Jizhou fall into the competition of several forces? Without Jizhou as the rear, Daijun will lose its most important allies and the most important suppliers of grain and materials. Such a situation is definitely something that Lu Yao does not want to see. But what can Dai Jun do? In the months since he went north, Lu Yao has faced tremendous pressure from the Hu people, and it took dozens of battles to open up the situation. Although he has expanded the land for thousands of miles and repeatedly defeated strong enemies, the foundation is still unstable. What Daijun needs to do now is to integrate the grassland on the dam, which will not only take a considerable amount of time, but also involve considerable manpower and material resources. Before truly unifying the Hu and Jin tribes in the grassland, it is not suitable or capable of being involved in the turmoil of Jizhou with the power of only a small number of counties!

Lu Yao's brows furrowed. Even though he had expanded his power to the greatest extent possible, in the face of the great changes in the political situation in Hebei, he still felt that his means were lacking, and his chest was once again filled with a strong sense of powerlessness. The good mood brought to him by those victories on the steppe has completely disappeared.

He paced slowly, thought for a while, and asked, "What's going on over there in Yecheng?" What about Xuchang and Luoyang? ”

The Yecheng side in his mouth refers to Shang Shu, General Ningbei and Yu, who supervised Yecheng to guard the military after King Xincai. Xuchang and Luoyang refer to the king of the East China Sea and the center of the imperial court, respectively.

"After the last war, Yecheng was mostly desolate, and He Yu was just a courtier of graceful officialdom, and it was still difficult to clean up people's hearts, so naturally there was no movement on this. And Xuchang and Luoyang are a little far away, I'm afraid that I have just received the news that Ding Shao is critically ill at this moment. ”

Yecheng is like this, which is expected by Lu Yao. And even if Xuchang and Luoyang make some moves, no matter how confidential the affairs of the East China Sea King Shogunate and the court are, it is not something that the Daijun who created everything can grasp in time. Lu Yao also knew that he was asking, he waved his hand self-deprecatingly, and suddenly smiled a little dejectedly: "Wen Hao and I are brothers who were born and died together, and Ding Shulun is also my father's elder. At the moment, he is afraid that he is in danger, but I only think that Jizhou's grain and material support will change...... Alas, compared to the king Jun Gou Xi and the like, it is only fifty steps and a hundred steps. ”

Shao Xu shook his head, and was about to say something, but he heard Lu Yao say slowly: "Ding Shulun is critically ill, and there will be great changes in Jizhou." Sending someone else as a messenger is not enough to show the sincerity of my condolences and to clearly express my intentions. Shao Gong, I intend to go to Guangzong in person, how about it? ”

Shao Xu was silent for a long time, and said with a slight bow: "If the general can do it, it may be effective." However......" His voice grew softer and softer, revealing a hesitant expression that wanted to say something.
