Xun You stood up: "Your Majesty, I think the troubles of the Huns are not enough to be afraid. The Zuoxian King of the Southern Huns has been destroyed by His Majesty. Judging from the current strength of the Southern Huns, it is probably the limit to be able to dispatch 70,000 to 80,000 cavalry. This time, I came to plunder Beidi County. I think it was difficult to make a living in Mobei, so I had to return to our Han territory to collect food."

Liu He nodded and said, "Well, this is right. But how can we stop this blood debt when they killed many of our Han people? Since the Southern Xiongnu dared to come back, I would just take this opportunity to wipe them out in one fell swoop and eliminate them."

Xun You said: "The treasury is still not abundant. Although the harvest has just been good, the tax grain is put into the treasury this year. It will take the end of the year. In the near future, only the grain from the military farm will be included in the treasury. After the expenses are removed, it is still only enough to spend more than 100,000 troops in about half a year. Now Han Sui and Liu Yan have not yet wiped out, so the court should not send troops easily."

Cui Jun also agreed: "I agree with Gongda's words. The Hun cavalry wandered in the desert and grasslands and it was difficult for them to find out where their royal court was located. The army was outside, and daily food and grass expenses were a huge amount. If it took several months, I was afraid that the treasury would be empty again, then Han Sui and others would become more and more rampant."

"Yes, the Southern Xiongnu suddenly came back. The timing was so accurate. It may not be because someone urged him behind his back. If this were the case, Your Majesty would not be able to fall into his treacherous plan."

Xun Yu also persuaded him.

When Liu He saw that all three of them were opposed to sending troops, he became a little annoyed.

"Can you just let these Hun thieves run rampant on my Han territory? I..."

Before he could finish his words, a voice suddenly came from outside the hall.

"Report to Your Majesty, Xuzhou Five Hundred Miles urgently..."

Liu He was stunned: "Xuzhou urgently reported? Didn't Tao Gongzu just returned to Xuzhou half a month ago? Why did he report it so quickly, or would he be rushing to 500 miles?"

In the court under Liu He's current jurisdiction, reports from various places are divided into three levels: 300 miles, 500 miles and 600 miles. Because the Han Dynasty had not yet been unified and the post station was missing, the most urgent 800 miles of rush was limited to Bingzhou and Sili areas, and even Jizhou was not yet available.

Ordinary retribution is 300 miles or 600 miles to rush, which is extremely rare. It can only be used unless it encounters major disasters such as the previous Yellow River floods, or if there is a powerful enemy invasion. In most cases, 500 miles to rush, it is already a very urgent retribution.

Xun Yu walked out of the hall, took the memorial, and walked in again.

"What's the matter with Tao Gongzu?" Liu He asked.

Xun Yu opened the report and took a look, his brows frowned instantly.

"The four bandits of Taishan Sun Guan, Wu Dun, Yin Li, and Chang Xi suddenly led 80,000 bandits to invade the territory of Langya in Xuzhou, burning, killing and looting, causing a sea of ​​fire in Langya, causing heavy casualties. The governor Tao sent troops to resist, but the other party did not entangle and went with the battle. Then he came to attack at night. The Xuzhou army suffered a lot of losses and begged the court to send troops to help."

"Taishan Corps?" Liu He was a little surprised.

"Although the Taishan bandits are powerful, they are enough to compare with the former Black Mountain Army, where did they have the courage to oppose the court? Tao Qian came to Luoyang to congratulate him, which has already shown the ownership of Xuzhou. They had only wandered around the land of Xu, Yan and Qing to fight the autumn wind, but now they have the courage to directly attack the city?"

Xun Yu thought for a while and said, "This matter is indeed a bit strange, I think..."

Without saying a word, another person outside the hall shouted.

“Five hundred miles of Yangzhou are expedited…”

"What's going on?" An urgent report came one after another, and Liu He couldn't sit still.

After receiving the report, Xun Yu replied: "Shanyue barbarians appeared in many places in Yangzhou, looting grain and women, setting fire to destroy countless houses. The new governor Liu Yao personally led a large army to chase and kill them. However, Shanyue was scattered in various places and wandering among the mountains. The officers and soldiers went on a war. Not only did they find nothing, but the chief clerk of Yangzhou was attacked and killed by bandits. Liu begged the court to send troops to conscript them."

Liu He frowned and said, "What happened? Why did these jumping clowns seem to have agreed to it, and they went out together, something was wrong..."

Cui Jun reminded: "Will this matter be caused by the instigation of Liu Yan as an emperor?"

After this, Liu He suddenly woke up: "Yes, it's probably true. They just wanted to use this to attract the attention of the court and consume our army's troops and food."

However, after thinking about it, he became distressed again: "The Taishan gang, Shanyue, and Xiongnu, all three rebellions must be suppressed. Moreover, the imperial army went to Xuzhou and Yangzhou to suppress the rebellion, which was inconvenient. If the people behind the scenes interfered, it would be a big loss to our army, and this would be difficult."

Cui Jun also became embarrassed: "The three rebellions all endangered the people of our great Han Dynasty, especially the two governors of Xuzhou and Yangzhou. Tao Qian came to Luoyang to congratulate him, and Liu Yao was appointed by the court. If the court did not send troops and allowed them to die, the other princes would inevitably be disheartened by the court. Therefore, no matter how our army made a choice, it would be of great benefit to the people behind the scenes, as well as Liu Yan and others."

"Um……"

Liu He half-squinted his eyes and slowly tapped the imperial desk in front of him.

Xun Yu and others knew that this would happen every time Liu He was upset.

In the Xuzhou governor's mansion, a young scholar-like man was saying something to Tao Qian with an anxious look on his face.

"Lord, the letter of help from the court has been sent. Your Majesty is kind and righteous. There will be a large army coming to suppress the bandits soon. Why should you be anxious for a while? The soldiers and horses of Cao Cao in Yanzhou are afraid that the people who come here are not good. If you let him enter Xuzhou, it is afraid that it is easy to invite the gods and it is difficult to send the gods. Please think twice."

This person looked very anxious and urgent, and his words were a little excited.

Tao Qian looked at him and sighed.

"Oh, I know the power of the imperial court. As long as Your Majesty sends troops to come, it is not worth worrying about the mere Taishan bandits."

"Why did the lord agree to Cao Cao's proposal to advance?" the scholar said inexplicably.

Tao Qian sighed and said, "I have no choice but to do anything. Even if Your Majesty dispatched troops from Jizhou nearby, crossed the territory of Qingzhou, came to our Xuzhou, and sent orders from Luoyang to purging the army and sending troops, it would take more than half a month or even longer. After the Taishan robbers successfully plundered Langya, the leaders of the four major bandits have led their troops to attack from all directions. If they cannot attack in time to stop them, they are afraid that the East China Sea, Chengyang and other places will suffer. The food for this harvest will be captured by the bandits, so..."

Speaking of this, Tao Qian looked unbearable: "In this way, the people of Xuzhou have lost their food, how should they live? I, Yuanlong, may I understand this?"

When the scholar heard this, he had to swallow what he wanted to say.

However, he was still very unwilling to accept it, and finally spoke again: "The emperor of the government is very kind and righteous. He is so kind to care for the people. However, when he sees Cao Cao, a tiger and wolf man, once he enters Xuzhou, his misfortune will inevitably be even worse than the enemies of Mount Tai. In his opinion, it is better to go to Qingzhou and ask Kong Beihai and Liu Xuande to help him. Especially Liu Xuande, who has been in Donglai County in the past two years, and has fought with Mount Tai. He has won many victories. He is ten times stronger than Cao Cao."

Tao Qian shook his head and said, "I have always known the reputation of the three brothers Liu Xuande, so naturally I have no doubts. However, the bandits and pirates in Donglai County have caused great disasters. Now I have just pacified a little. If the three brothers are invited to bring troops here, it will inevitably cause the bandits in Donglai County to make a comeback, and the people of Qingzhou will also suffer. How can I bear it?"

Another young man with plain robe and brocade belt stood up: "Mr. Zhu thought that Chen Deng's words were very good. Although the Taishan bandits were fierce, their combat power was mediocre. However, there were no good generals in Xuzhou, so it was difficult to fight against him. Liu Xuande's three brothers were all great generals, and Your Majesty also praised him. My subordinates were willing to go to Donglai in person and ask Duke Xuande to send a general and lead troops to help. There is no need to be too many soldiers and horses. Then, entrusting the military power of Xuzhou to him. Even if the Taishan bandits cannot be destroyed, it is enough to protect themselves for a while. When the imperial army arrives, they will encircle them on both sides and eliminate the thieves. In this way, my Xuzhou is protected and will not slacke in the defense of Donglai County. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"
