Tanshihuai is a man's nightmare.
The Han soldiers went out for more than a thousand miles in three groups and returned in disastrous defeat. Those Han troops who were able to return did not retaliate for ten.
However, this person was different from the Xiongnu. He did not want to marry the Han Dynasty at all. He only wanted to go south.
During the Three Kingdoms period, it would still be acceptable if Kebineng was just the most powerful among the many tribes on the grassland.
He didn't have the ability to go south anyway.
He can even play a role in containing Wei in the north.
But if he really wants to unify the grassland and become the second Tanshihuai, that is another story.
"Bu Dugen and Ke Bi Neng have a feud. How could Ke Bi Neng make Bu Du Gen abandon Bingzhou's good life and join Ke Bi Neng just by talking about it?"
Governor Feng asked with some disbelief.
If that's the case, wouldn't my title of "quick words, commanding beauty" have to be given up?
After all, although Bu Dugen is slightly weaker than Ke Bineng, he can still be regarded as a master of the grassland on par with Ke Bineng.
Coupled with the grievances between the two, is it Kebineng who has opened up the aura of subduing wisdom, or is it Bu Dugen who has been hit by the halo of brain damage, and Bu Dugen will let go of his good life and come to rely on Kebineng?
"That was before." Han Long said with a wry smile, "In the past, when Liang Xi was the governor of Bingzhou, he treated the barbarians with both kindness and power."
"So the Hu people not only surrendered sincerely, but even listened to his orders. Who knew that a few years ago, the governor of Liangzhou was replaced by Bi Gui, who was too arrogant."
"Not only did they oppress the Hu people, plundering their cattle, sheep, wives and daughters, but they even beheaded their heads to gain military merit. Therefore, in the past few years, there have been many complaints from the Hu people in Bingzhou."
"I have inquired a lot in Bingzhou. The situation of Bu Dugen's tribe in the past two years is far worse than when Liang Xi was appointed governor."
"He even had disputes with border officers from time to time. Therefore, the rumors of being attached to Kebineng may not be groundless!"
Bingzhou is connected with Hetao. Since Feng Yong had sent Zhao Guang and Shi Bao to Hetao, he would naturally have inquired about the governor of Bingzhou.
Bi Gui was the son of Bi Zili, a military commander in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Dian Junxiaowei was one of the eight Xiyuan Xiaowei of the Eastern Han Dynasty. He was in charge of the imperial army and was a close confidant of the emperor.
He may not necessarily be from a noble family, but he will certainly not be lower than a wealthy family.
Bi Gui had a rare reputation for talent. When Cao Rui was granted the title of Prince, he was the literary and long-term historian of the Prince's House.
As soon as Cao Rui ascended the throne, he was appointed Huangmenlang and married the princess to Bi Gui's son.
With such a background and qualifications, it would not be surprising at all for him to do such a thing when he went to be the governor of Bingzhou.
After all, the Liangzhou Qiang and Hu Rebellion greatly damaged the vitality of the Later Han Dynasty, and the powerful Liangzhou family behind the scenes played a major role.
In the eyes of the aristocratic and wealthy families of this era, they are all two-legged animals.
As for the Hu people, they are not as good as two-legged animals.
When you want to kill them and eat them, then you can operate on them whenever you want.
As for the chaos caused by the barbarians within the country, and the barbarians from abroad entering the country to plunder and so on, isn't that something that the court should worry about?
What does it have to do with them?
Wang Xiong, the governor of Youzhou, allowed Kebineng to annex the small tribe, and Bi Gui, the governor of Bingzhou, forced Bu Dugen, who was originally restraining Kebineng, to Kebineng's side.
Think about Cao Cao's attack on the Wuhuan, quelling the Qiang rebellion, and dividing the Xiongnu, and then look at Wei's current policy towards the Hu people.
Governor Feng couldn't help but want to complain: It's so awesome!
Perhaps this is some kind of change that the noble family will unknowingly bring about after taking power.
If there were major changes in the Hu people in the two states, then there would be a reasonable explanation for General Guan Da and Zhang Xiaosi to send troops to Yanze in advance.
After all, during the Tanshihuai Dynasty, from Liaodong to Dunhuang, the entire area north of the Han Dynasty was a nomadic land for the Xianbei people.
If Kebineng really wants to annex Dubugen, then his next target will naturally be Xianbei in the west, which was the first to split off after Tanshihuai's death.
The main activity area of Xianbei in the west happens to be bordering Liangzhou.
When Xianbei from the west enters Liangzhou, Juyanze is one of the most important passages.
General Guan Da and Secretary Zhang Da marched into Juyanze in advance not only to prevent unexpected situations.
At the same time, if the northern grasslands are reunified, then Liangzhou can capture Juyanze one day earlier, and the initiative will be greater when facing Kebineng.
"It's too far. Liangzhou is too far from Bingzhou, separated by Guanzhong."
Governor Feng sighed and said, "What we can do now is to go north from Ju Yanze to deal with problems that may arise in the future."
Of course Han Long knew this was reality.
His biggest hope when he came over was that Governor Feng would use his reputation among the Hu people to influence the Hu people in the north through certain methods.
The current land of China really cannot afford another sandalwood locust tree from the north.
After talking about business with Han Long, Governor Feng still wanted to ask:
"Mr. Han has been away for so long. When he comes back this time, does he still have somewhere to go?"
No matter how powerful a person's martial arts is, it will not be of much use on a large-scale battlefield.
But it's different in skirmishes.
For example, sentries used to gather intelligence on the battlefield and cover the battlefield.
There are also special operations battalions such as the Dark Night Battalion, and the Guards Battalion.
In these battalions, personal ability is extremely important.
With the presence of a master like Han Long, the capabilities of the soldiers in these battalions can be greatly improved.
Governor Feng naturally wanted to keep him by his side.
"If the monarch does not give up, I am willing to follow the monarch."
Over the years, Han Long followed from Youzhou to the Central Plains, then from the Central Plains to Guanzhong, from Guanzhong to Liangzhou, and then from Liangzhou to Hanzhong.
Finally, he ran back to Youzhou, then to Bingzhou, and then back to Liangzhou.
It can be said that wherever a large number of barbarians live, the big man has already traveled back and forth several times.
But it was Governor Feng who really gave him hope of curing the Hu people's problem.
Whether it's differentiation or appeasement, how can it compare to Feng Jishi's way of swallowing up barbarians?
Within two generations, they were completely converted into Han people, and they still flocked to them in droves.
This is called the royal way!
If you want to fulfill your family's mission, is there any better choice than right now?
Governor Feng did not expect that this master would actually agree to it.
I was overjoyed at the moment:
"With my husband by my side, I don't have to worry about my family's safety!"
After talking to Han Long about the matter, Feng Yong looked at Shi Bao who had been sitting there politely:
"What happened in Guanzhong?"
The letter from Wuwei made it very clear that Liangzhou was to be completely consolidated in advance. In addition to taking the initiative against the barbarians in the northern grasslands, there seemed to be movement in Guanzhong.
"Back to the king, the Wei thieves in Guanzhong seem to be making moves against the barbarians in the north of Beidi County."
Shi Bao quickly replied, "Hu Bo was ambushed and killed by the Wei people while working in Beidi County, and most of his clan members were killed."
"Hu Bo's job?"
Feng Yong raised his eyebrows and his expression changed slightly.
Hu Bojuzhi was originally appointed as the Great Protector of Xiongnu Anding by the Wei thieves. After the First World War in Anping, he surrendered to the Han Dynasty.
Their tribe is nomadic outside on weekdays, and in winter they enter Xiaoguan to stay safe for the winter.
Feng Yong planned to use him to build a bridge with the Hu people in the Hetao area in preparation for the Battle of Guanzhong.
Unexpectedly, Sima Yi actually made a move first, causing himself to lose an important chess piece.
"This Sima Yi is indeed not simple!"
Feng Yong's face turned gloomy.
Sima Yi has been preparing for war here, and Sima Yi has never been idle.
In addition to constantly building fortresses and reinforcing turtle shells in strategically contested areas, they also stepped up their efforts to gather grain in the fields.
Now they are taking the initiative to try their best to eliminate the hidden dangers in the north.
It seemed that although Sima Yi had never fought against him, he had already taken care of himself.
After all, who doesn't know that Governor Feng has a way of taking advantage of the Hu people?
Thinking of this, Governor Feng's eyes flickered and he motioned for Shi Bao to continue.
"Hu Bo was attacked by Wei thieves at his post, and his tribe was wiped out overnight, which shocked the Hu people."
"Coupled with the fact that Guo Huai, who is known as a god in the eyes of the Hu people, came out to appease them, I'm afraid the Han will have to put in more effort if he wants to use the Hu people in Beidi County again."
Will the entire clan be wiped out overnight?
The methods can be said to be ruthless, and the movements can be said to be as fast as thunder.
This is quite in line with Sima Yi's military style.
Using troops is like wind and fire, with no force and no form. If you don't strike, it will be done. One strike will definitely hit.
Unless you meet a certain old demon, your style will change drastically.
Seeing Feng Jishi deep in thought, Shi Bao opened his mouth, hesitated, and finally said:
"Hu Bo's family, the Yan family, led the remaining clan members and fled back to Anding, crying about the evil deeds of the Wei thieves. The prince should handle this matter carefully."
"Otherwise, if we lose the hope of the Hu people, the Han's arrangements in Beidi County in the past two years may fall short."
Feng Yong's eyes flashed and he looked at Shi Bao.
Shi Bao looked a little embarrassed.
Well, it seems that the Yan family, where Hu Bo lives, is giving this guy another thumbs up.
"I'll leave it to you to handle the people who escaped from Hu Bo's Juzi tribe. Don't make any excuses."
Shi Bao breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly: "I understand."
Then he continued:
"Your Majesty, I believe that Sima Yi may have another purpose in taking action."
"Tell me."
"When the Hu people in Bingzhou moved, Sima Yi took action against the Hu people in Beidi County. He may not have had any intention of guarding against Bingzhou."
When Governor Feng heard this analysis, he couldn't help but glance at Shi Bao in surprise.
Is he really worthy of being compared to Deng Ai?
He still has such strategic vision.
In the end, all Sima and Jin generations were hated by future generations.
But if you really have to choose someone who can do it, it would be Sima Yi, the founder of Jin Dynasty.
Although the Sima family was the historical choice of aristocratic families to govern, Sima Yi promoted many poor families to his advantage, and he was a rare understanding person.
Sima Yi's actions in Beidi County can affect the future Battle of Guanzhong in the long run, and can affect the situation in Bingzhou in the immediate future.
In the medium term, it can also damage Governor Feng's reputation among the Hu people.
Because from this incident, the barbarians in Beidi County could see that the big Han had no way to protect them.
On the contrary, it is Wei State that can directly threaten their survival.
At that time, the barbarians will naturally have doubts about the big Han.
Sima Yi's move is indeed effective.
Now General Guan Da and Secretary Zhang Da propose to control Yanze as soon as possible in order to exert influence on the Hu people in the northern grassland desert. In fact, they are also playing a game with Wei.
It seems that this wave is actually General Guan Da and Zhang Xiaosi teaming up to fight Sima Yi from a distance. At the same time, both sides are preparing for the worst outcome in the northern grasslands.
After thinking this through, Governor Feng couldn't help but smile: "Interesting!"
This probably means that victory or defeat often lies not within the chessboard, but outside the chessboard.
Obviously, the Hu people are an uncontrollable factor.
Sima Yi also did not want to repeat the mistakes of the Battle of Longyou.
The situation had changed, and Zhang Gong was buried, so Feng Yong did not stay in Dunhuang any longer.
Since Zhang Gong had made some arrangements for Dunhuang before his death, Feng Yong naturally had more excuses to keep Liu Liang and Liu Hun in Dunhuang.
Knowing that Feng Yong was planning to return to Wuwei, Zhang Hua, still wearing linen mourning clothes, came to Feng Yong's courtyard:
"Your Majesty, are you ready to return?"
"Yes." Feng Yong nodded, "The governor's office is preparing to march to Juchuze in advance, so I want to go back and take charge of the overall situation."
The governor's office has taken a lot of money and food from the Liangzhou family for two consecutive years. For this reason, it also sold a batch of pastures in Juyanze in advance.
Well, period.
In addition, there won't be any large-scale military operations this time, and Zhang Hua is considered a member of the governor's army, so there is no need to keep it too secretive.
"Although the Zhang family has suffered misfortune, at this time of national crisis, I am willing to do my part for the Han Dynasty."
"Is it appropriate?" Governor Feng said hesitantly, "When Mr. Zhang leaves, your mansion will be in a state of chaos. Why don't General Zhang stay here for a while to appease people?"
Zhang Hua shook his head: "I have been on my brother's bed for several years, and the arrangements that should be made have already been made. My joining the army is also based on my brother's wishes."
"Besides, my brother's funeral has almost been taken care of now. Someone will take care of the remaining trivial matters."
After the death of the elder brother who led the rise of the Zhang family, the hearts of the Zhang family were inevitably shaken.
Holding Liangzhou's thigh tightly is the most correct choice.
"Zhang Jiazhong is a good man, I already know it!"
Although he knew that this was a way for the Zhang family to express their loyalty to themselves after Zhang Gong's death, Governor Feng still felt a little emotional when he heard these words.
"If the governor's office wants to live in Yanze, it depends on the Zhang family. Since General Zhang is willing, he can follow me back to Wuwei."
"promise."
After returning to Wuwei, General Guan and Secretary Zhang had already made plans and made peace with everything. They only had to wait for Governor Feng to nod in agreement and stamp the Governor's seal before they could be implemented directly.
"Uncle Liao is leading the army?"
Feng Yong looked at the plan in front of him and nodded, "It is indeed a good idea."
As the governor of the governor's office, Liao Hua originally had the responsibility of commanding the army.
"Huo Yi is also going to follow?"
When Governor Feng saw this, he raised his head suspiciously. Could this be the result of the deal between the two of you?
"Ju Yanze is located in the north of Jiuquan County. During this expedition, all the food and grass were gathered in Jiuquan. As a prefect, how can Huo Yi stay out of it?"
Zhang Xiaosi said plausibly.
Governor Feng glanced at General Guan, but saw that General Guan looked calm.
Well, okay, as long as you are happy.
Anyway, Huo Yi is a talented person. He can not only govern the people but also lead the army. It is also a good thing to let him train more.
Tufa Tianli led Liangzhou Hu Renyi's army as the vanguard, Huang Chong and E Shun led the infantry to suppress the rear, Liao Hua became the commander, and Huo Yi commanded the rear army.
There are old and young, new and old, Han and Hu, and the configuration is very reasonable.
A great killer like Zhao Guang should be allowed to continue running around the world looking for war horses.
As for the battle plan drawn up by General Guan Da, Governor Feng was not qualified to give pointers. He just said with some confusion:
"Where's Tonozawa? Why didn't you write it down?"
"We don't have enough manpower. Besides, this time it's a training for the new army. Let them practice once in Juyanze and then again in Duyeze. Isn't it good?"
"Didn't you say that Liangzhou should be stabilized as soon as possible? Why not just divide the troops into two groups?"
Governor Feng threw away the battle plan and said, "Send another team of troops to Duyezawa."
"There is no one left, who should I send?"
"Qiang Protector Colonel Jiang Wei, doesn't he still have thousands of troops at hand?"
Jiang Wei was both the captain of the Qiang Protector and the prefect of Jincheng. He was nominally under the jurisdiction of the Liangzhou Governor's Office.
"It's just...is this appropriate?"
Zhang Xingyi said hesitantly.
She naturally knew what it meant for Jiang Wei to lead thousands of elite troops to garrison in Jincheng.
"What's inappropriate? Let's mention it first. If he doesn't agree, then we'll talk about it later."
Governor Feng said nonchalantly, "He is also the chief historian of the Governor's Office!"
