Chapter 520(1/2)
"Now the places occupied by Gou Xi are all fertile lands with abundant water and plants. Naturally, he cannot be allowed to maintain it for a long time, otherwise his unfavorable intentions will arise!"
"We should let those bandits and Qianghu fight a few more tough battles, and then consume their troops, and then we can avoid hidden dangers."
Liu Yu had already had some ideas about Xi Jian’s method.
However, if you do this, you are afraid that Gou Xi will cause trouble again.
After all, this Tu Bo surrendered before because of the situation, now he has a large group of bandits and Qiang and Hu troops. If he controls him like this, Liu Yu is a little worried that he will force him to rebel.
The surrounding Yongzhou and Bingzhou were all ruined and were not saved enough to deal with the rebellion.
"Your Majesty, don't worry about this!"
After listening to Liu Yu's concerns, Xi Jian didn't care much at all.
"Ran Long from Daizhou commands tens of thousands of troops, and is also the best general of the Yuan Dynasty. His military strength is not inferior to Gou Xi. With Ran Long here, why should I worry about Gou Xi?"
"But Ran Long still has to be on guard against the Xianbei people in Daizhou. If there is something wrong in Henan, wouldn't it be easy to lose one thing?"
"Your Majesty, the Suolu in Daizhou has always regarded Qiang and Hu as enemies. It has been a hundred years since the attack and killing each other. If there is chaos in Qiang and Hu, then let Ran Long recruit the Suolu to attack Qiang and Hu. The young and strong Suolu went to fight, leaving only the elderly, weak, women and children behind. Why worry about chaos?"
Liu Yu suddenly realized.
I always forget that I have now taken control of the power of recruitment.
For the subdued servant tribe, it is normal to recruit their troops to fight.
Moreover, the Soto Xianbei has always been very enthusiastic about attacking the Qiang and Hu.
"Now Ran Long is still in Meiji City?" Liu Yu asked immediately.
He remembered that Ran Long had led his army to eliminate the Tiefhuns before, and he had always been in Meiji City.
"Report to Your Majesty, Ran Long should still be in Meiji." Xi Jian said.
"Then send someone to tell Ran Long that their father and son will be stationed in the US and keep a staring at Gou Xi."
"Where is Your Majesty planning to let Gou Xi go to the expedition?" Xi Jian asked again.
Liu Yu and the others discussed for a long time, but they had not decided where to fight Gou Xi.
"Gou Xi's soldiers are all with their families, so they will definitely not move quickly. It's better to let them continue to go west and first try to calm down Helan Mountain." Liu Yu thought about it and said.
Although the Helan Mountain area in the upper reaches of the Yellow River is a good place with abundant water and grass, it is definitely a mud pond.
The Xianbei, Western Qiang, Zahu and other tribes gathered here, attacking and killing each other constantly, but they often joined forces. Even if they were in it, they might not be able to clarify their relationship.
If Gou Xi wants to settle the Helan Mountain area, he will definitely need to spend a lot of effort.
"When Gou Xi tries to pacify Helan Mountain, my Daizhou and Yongzhou should be almost restored."
"At that time, I will send Ran Long, Liu Yan and others to lead the army to follow."
"It's really comfortable to accept Gou Xi's strategy ahead, Ran Long and the others behind."
When Liu Yu thought of this, he couldn't help but feel happy.
"Then Gou Xi will definitely have resentment in his heart, so he must be more careful."
"It's okay, Gou Xi has already lost his power and is helpless. Zhang Shi from Liangzhou and Sima Bao from Qinzhou are both extremely afraid of him and will definitely not dare to rebel easily."
Liu had a brief thought and continued.
"However, you can't just let Gou Xi be a coolie, otherwise he will get the sweetness."
"What is your Majesty's plan?"
"I want to grant Gou Xi a title of priest and give him the power to open a palace, and control all military affairs west of Daizhou."
"West of Daizhou?"
When Xi Jian heard this, he was immediately surprised.
To the west of the newly established Daizhou, that is, the vast grassland to the north of Liangzhou.
This is a vast area that reaches thousands of miles. Although it is sparsely populated grassland, it is compared to the Central Plains.
For example, in the area around the northern part of Mo, these places are the country of Tianfu.
"Aren't Your Majesty afraid that Gou Xi will become a new Hun again?" Xi Jian was a little worried.
"Not afraid, the Huns have tribes. In addition to fighting skills, Gou Xi does not have the solid foundation as much as the Huns' Khanyu, let alone him being followed by Ran Long."
Liu expected that the Helan Mountain area was already chaotic enough, and the one that went a little further northwest was even more chaotic and had no edges.
Even if Gou Xi has great abilities and no strong logistical support, it is absolutely impossible for him to conquer those nomadic barbarians. Being able to control Helan Mountain is already Gou Xi's ability to go against the will of heaven.
After arranging these, Liu Yu finally got rid of his thoughts.
He thought proudly in his heart that he used the Qiang, Hu and Xianbei in the northwest to consume checks and balances, and then used Yuwen and other departments to suppress the Murong tribe, which would at least ensure that there would be no border troubles within a few years.
Of course, there is a prerequisite for this, that is, they should not decide the winner too quickly, otherwise the winning party is likely to grow into a new disaster.
It is precisely because of this reason that Liu Yu was unwilling to do his best to encircle and suppress the Murong tribe in Liaodong.
The Sanshan County in the southern part of the Liaodong Peninsula is to play a balanced role.
After all, the Murong Xianbei is really too fierce now. Even if it is surrounded by Yuwen, Duan, Goguryeo and Dongpingzhou, it is still easy to do so.
It really made Liu Yu very afraid.
Facts have also proved that Liu Yu's fear is absolutely reliable.
Liaodong, Pingzhou City.
As a prefecture city far away from the Central Plains, the scale of Pingzhou City is undoubtedly very small.
It is not only reflected in the small size of the city, but also the population is far from comparable to that of the Central Plains.
However, for people in Liaodong, the safety of Pingzhou City is still very guaranteed.
Although there have been various rebellions over the past decades, no one has done much damage to Pingzhou City. Even the battle to attack the Dongyi Captain Cui Liyan not long ago was completed in a short time.
Therefore, the Pingzhou City in Murong Wei’s hands is now full of vitality.
As the warm wind blew in early spring, Murong Wei, the prince of Liaodong, the Great Jin Dynasty, personally led officials to hold a spring plowing ceremony to show his concern for agriculture and sericulture and his attention to the people's livelihood.
This is definitely not a barbarian style, but a true style of the Zhongyuan Fengjun.
Therefore, as soon as this move was made, the scholars and clans in Liaodong County praised Murong Li, who were a great wise ruler.
Although Murong Wei was still a minister of the Great Jin Dynasty, he was already the prince of Liaodong and a truly lord who had broken the land and boundaries.
After a busy day of spring plowing ceremony, Murong Wei returned to Pingzhou City, immediately removed his solemn expression and changed into an angry look.
"The thief in Qingzhou is simply too much!"
Murong Wei slapped the table hard and cheered all the pens and inks on it to the ground.
The sons and brothers next to them also looked angry.
"King, the Qingzhou thieves have repeatedly driven the sect torture us before, and now they have directly crossed the sea to seize Ma Shijin. We must not tolerate it anymore!"
A young man with a strong body said first.
This person is Murong Han, the eldest son of Murong Wei. Although he is only in his early twenties this year, he is already the largest general among the Murong Xianbei.
In just a few years, Murong Han had already led his troops to defeat the attack of the Yuwen team, and some people were hiding through the woods and hidden in the mountains.
"Father, although Ma Shijin is poor, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If the Qingzhou thieves have built up defenses in a timely manner, it is probably difficult to attack again."
A young man of sixteen or seventeen next to him said.
This person's appearance is somewhat similar to Murong Han, but he is more handsome and a little less brave and agile.
It was Murong Wei's second son, and his legitimate son Murong Wei.
After hearing the words of his two sons, Murong Ling nodded with relief.
Now Murong Wei is in Liaodong, and he is surrounded by enemies on all sides.
Under such a dangerous situation, the Qingzhou thieves went to the scene again. If ordinary people had been frightened and panicked all day long.
Both of his sons were fearless and wanted to express their indulgence. This courage made Murong Ling very satisfied.
"Yes, I think so too."
Murong Ling said slowly.
"Thinking that for several years, we have no grudges with Liu Yu in the past and no grudges, but we have been repeatedly forced and plotted against him. First, the Yuwen Department was harassed and the Duan Department was invaded, which was all Liu Yu's instructed."
"It's been hard to get rid of these sluts, but now Qingzhou thieves have actually occupied the land of Liaodong, which is absolutely unwilling tolerate."
After hearing Murong Jie's clear statement, Murong all expressed his troops to strangle the Qingzhou thieves and avenge the dead soldiers.
"However, although the Qingzhou thief is hateful, his troops are strong and he must be dealt with rigorously." Murong Wei said again.
"Father, how should we deal with it rigorously?" Prince Murong Xian asked hurriedly.
"Now we only have one place in Liaodong. If we lead troops south, there will inevitably be Yuwen, Duanmen, and Goguryeo who will harass the rear. The first thing we need to do is to deal with these people." Murong Wei said.
"King, the Qingzhou thieves in Ma Shijin have only been heard of only two or three thousand people. How could they use such a mobilization? Only five thousand soldiers and horses are needed to flatten them!" The eldest son Murong Han said boldly.
"No, haven't you seen it? The Qingzhou thieves killed the Huns for only a few years. How could such combat power be so powerful?" Murong Wei said with dissatisfaction.
