"General, please report back to Your Majesty. The dog is just one month old and cannot bear the bumps. When it reaches one year old, it will be returned to Yecheng."
Li Yue neither wanted to attack Luoyang nor send his children to Yecheng.
Yecheng clearly had no good intentions.
Dogs bite when they are anxious. The strength of the dog should not be underestimated.
Fu Jian was more radical than Fu Hong.
The Black Cloud Army is recovering, and if another fierce battle breaks out, the soldiers will be filled with complaints.
Dong Run said in a solemn tone: "Then the Commander-in-Chief must be careful. Last time, the deportation of Xiongnu prisoners and prisoners of war was suppressed. I am afraid that Your Majesty will not let it go easily this time. It is a common practice for hostages to enter the court. Lu, Liu, and Wei all It’s not easy for me to object.”
Li Yue smiled and said: "I am not rejecting it, I am just delaying it for a few months."
Waiting for change, the situation in the north will definitely change in a few months.
Dong Run nodded, "I'll try my best to deal with it!"
Li Yue thought for a while and decided to write a letter to Ran Min, analyzing the current situation. Ran Wei's biggest enemy was Xiangguo and the Hu people, not Yanzhou.
"We left Xingyang in the past, and in the blink of an eye, one year has passed. Your Majesty has exerted great power and accomplished great things. This is the so-called divine warrior. However, Jie Nu is still rampant in Xiang State, and all the barbarians are not peaceful everywhere. At this time, The dust should be swept away so that the mountains and rivers can regain their brightness and China can revive. We should not let them breathe and recuperate..."
In the letter, Li Yue repeatedly emphasized that as long as Hebei was settled, the world would be settled, and dissent was of no concern. Staying in Luoyang would attract the hatred of Jiangdong.
Dong Run immediately went back with the memorial.
How he deals with it is his business.
Li Yue only believed in one thing: Ran Min would never go south to attack Yanzhou at this time.
Although Xiang State suffered heavy losses, it still had the strength to fight. After Shi Kun's defeat, he stayed in Jizhou and gathered various tribes of barbarians.
The vast majority of counties and counties in Hebei obey the orders of Xiang Guo, and the current situation in Ran Wei is still not optimistic.
After the promulgation of the three orders to kill Hu, the Hu people in Hebei united as never before.
After Dong Run returned, he seemed to have disappeared into the sea without any response.
Li Yue was also happy and at ease, it would be best not to cause trouble for him.
"Luoyang is not a place where we can stay for a long time. Fu Jian must have stationed his troops here to plot Guanzhong!" Chang Wei saw through the Fu family's plan at a glance.
Li Yue said: "What Mr. Fu said is true. The Fu family in Guandong is just a lost dog. Only by returning to Guanzhong can they have a chance to rise."
"The Fu family's stay in Luoyang makes Yecheng fearful, which is not good for me. It is better to drive them westward. Du Hong and Zhang Ju in Guanzhong are not ordinary people. In the future, Huan Wen will take this place first in his northern expedition."
Chang Wei is not very optimistic about the future of the Fu family.
After all, judging from the current situation, the chance of the Fu family's westward expansion being successful is very small.
"How to drive them westward?" Li Yue knew the general trend of history. Du Hong and Zhang Ju were not the Fu family's opponents, but the Fu family's westward march was not a bad thing for Yanzhou at present.
Chang Wei smiled and said: "As long as the edict from Yecheng is sent to Luoyang, they will definitely go west."
After Fu Hong's death, the tacit understanding between the Black Cloud Army and them disappeared. It would be better for the Fu family to leave, so that Ran Min wouldn't have to worry about it every day.
Li Yue then asked people to send the edict from Yecheng to Luoyang.
Fu Jian, however, carried out extensive construction work and built palaces in Luoyang. It is said that he also beheaded several small wealthy chiefs who persuaded him to go west to Guanzhong.
Li Yue smiled in his heart, knowing that this was just a cover-up.
The Di people's westward advance should be fast.
However, Li Yue soon lost the energy to pay attention to them. As the weather gradually became hotter, signs of plague began to appear in Hebei.
Since the beginning of this year, Hebei has been ablaze with swords and attacks on each other. The corpses are everywhere and no one has collected them. Some are eaten by birds and beasts, or they are scattered in the rivers and spread everywhere. The plague is inevitable.
In many cases, plagues are more terrifying than military disasters.
When the rebels come, people can run or hide. When the plague comes, it kills people invisible, and they can neither run nor hide.
During the reign of Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, the population of the Eastern Han Dynasty reached its peak of more than 56 million. However, only twenty or thirty years later, Emperor Ling's Yellow Turban Rebellion led to a melee between the Three Kingdoms. China's population plummeted, and many people died from the Great Plague at the end of the Han Dynasty.
"The tribes in Hebei are engaged in a vendetta, and millions of people have died. There will be a great plague this summer. The governor must prepare early!" Chang Wei has always cared about the common people.
Based on the corpses, various places roughly estimate that the Hu people suffered casualties of 200,000 to 300,000, but these were those killed by swords, not counting those who died of starvation, being bitten to death by wild beasts, and those who died of injuries.
Many of the six million barbarians in Hebei were frightened by Ran Min and returned to the Western Regions. Many of them killed each other along the way.
The millions of people Chang Wei said were by no means empty words.
"Immediately expand the medical camp and recruit those with quick hands and feet, both men and women. Then recruit doctors from all over the world and collect all kinds of medicinal herbs!"
With previous experiences, Li Yue responded calmly, ordering all regions in Yanyu to report any traces of the plague immediately.
South of the river, the most stable place is Yanzhou.
The local officials were quite competent and actively prepared according to Li Yue's orders.
More than ten days have passed, and no plague has broken out in Yanzhou, but Qingzhou next door has been infected.
Topographically, Qingzhou is more closely connected with Hebei.
From Yanzhou to Qingzhou, Mount Tai blocks the road, as well as the Yellow River, Jishui, and Qishui, making the road inconvenient. However, entering Qingzhou from Hebei is much simpler.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Qingzhou and Youji merged with Hebei and were known as the four states of Hebei.
After Ran Min issued the order to kill Hu, the Hu people did not dare to flee to Yanzhou, but mostly fled to Qingzhou, so the plague was also carried away.
Several counties close to Yanzhou have sent people to ask for help.
However, Chenliu City was divided into two factions.
"In my opinion, this plague has come at the right time. Once the barbarians are extinct, we can easily take over." Chen Duan was the first to object.
Bo Wudao: "There are not only barbarians in Qingzhou, but also many common people. Are they just ignored?"
Rescue Qingzhou is not a simple matter.
The situation in Qingzhou is also quite complicated.
There are those who yearn for Yanzhou, and there are also those who yearn for Yecheng and Xiangguo, and rescue also requires a certain amount of material and manpower.
The barbarians in Qingzhou will definitely not sit back and watch the Black Cloud Army reach out.
In addition, even if Qingzhou is captured, Ran Min will definitely not be happy.
"Captain..." Chang Wei stopped talking.
Li Yue stretched out his hand to stop him from speaking, walked a few steps, thought for a while and then said: "The people of Qingzhou are also the people of China. If you save one more person, you will have more strength. Send an order, and the Southern Army and Yanzhou Army will escort three thousand medical battalions in." Qingzhou, help them quell the plague and lay down their roots in Qingzhou."
This time may not be an opportunity to gain a foothold in Qingzhou.
Chang Wei cupped his hands deeply.
"I have some popularity in Qingzhou, so I will do my best to do this." Bo Wu cupped his hands and said.
After the birth of his son Bo Xing, Bo Wu seemed to have a second youth. He drank less and acted less with women.
As soon as Bo Wu stepped forward, no one could compete with him.
"Then General Lao Bo!" Li Yue agreed.
The main force entering Qingzhou this time is the Southern Army. Bo Wu is brave and resourceful, so he is naturally the most suitable candidate.
It's rare that he takes the initiative to ask for help.
After everyone dispersed, Li Yue left Bo Wu alone, "How will uncle deal with the barbarians in Qingzhou?"
He is from Wuhuan, so he only needs to take in Qiang, Di and Wuhuan people, but he is afraid that he will also take in Jie people.
"Don't worry, Commander, my subordinates know how to deal with it!" Bo Wu's eyes flashed with coldness.
Li Yue said: "This time we focus on rescue and win over people's hearts, not on conquering cities and territories. Uncle, don't be too pushy."
Bo Wu nodded.
In two or three days, a thousand medical battalions and more than 26,000 Southern and Yanzhou troops were assembled. With this small number of troops, it would be difficult to capture Qingzhou.
