On June 30th, Grand Sima Zhang Yun and Situ Xunyou urgently received Liu Qi's order in Jingnan, and immediately summoned all the generals in the court to discuss how to deal with the invading enemy from Hebei.

"His Majesty sent back news from Jingzhou that Yuan Shao is about to mobilize his troops in the near future. Your Majesty is in Jingzhou at the moment and cannot rush back to the court to preside over it immediately. He can only assist the Grand Sima to mobilize troops and generals to respond to the overall situation!"

Speaking of this, Xun You looked at Zhang Yun and said: "Da Sima, your Majesty has decreed that you have full authority to handle Luoyang's military affairs. What should be done now?"

Zhang Yun was actually very nervous.

When it comes to military talent, Zhang Yun still has it, but for his military talent, you can let him lead an army alone, but you want him to be a great commander who can command the entire army and dispatch troops... To be honest

, he is still a little behind.

It is said that it is Da Sima, but in fact, the person who is really in charge of the national army has always been Liu Qi.

At this moment, Liu Qi suddenly delegated power and gave Zhang Yun full authority to handle it. He was really panicked and couldn't play anymore.

What kind of rule should this be?

Zhang Yun looked at Huang Zhong for help.

"That...General Huang!"

"The end will be here."

"Please explain the current situation to everyone."

Although Xun You did not publicize Liu Qi's edict to all the generals, he still consulted with several important figures in private.

Huang Zhong is naturally the most important one among them.

Seeing Xun You asking about him, Huang Zhong immediately stood up and said to everyone: "Everyone, the Guards Office has made inquiries in Hebei. Yuan Shao seems to be ill at the moment. Although it is not known whether it will threaten his life, I think the illness is not serious. According to Huang

Someone has judged that when people of our age reach a certain age and the end is approaching, they must be thinking about how to complete their ambitions as soon as possible so that they can live up to this life... Yuan Shao agrees with me on this point, Your Majesty

That’s the same guess.”

Everyone present was not a mortal. After Huang Zhong said this, they naturally understood what he wanted to express.

"In order to fulfill his long-cherished wish, Yuan Shao may take action against me." Tai Shici summarized Huang Zhong's words.

Kuai Yue touched his chin, seeming to be thinking about something.

"May I ask General Huang, is there any news on Yuan Shao's side right now?"

Xun You smiled and said: "Taichang's words are on point. Our army's scouts have already heard the news. There is indeed something strange happening in Hebei, but it has nothing to do with our country for the time being."

"What's the strange movement?"

"Speaking of which, the current situation in Hebei has nothing to do with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao... It is Tadun, the three kings of Wuhuan, who had friction with Xianbei at the border. Because there was no proper mediation, the two royal courts

A direct conflict arose, and the Southern Xiongnu royal court seemed to have taken this opportunity to transfer the power of its tribe to Yunzhong and Dingxiang, seemingly intending to get a piece of the meat soup."

When everyone heard this, their faces showed joy.

The power of the Three Kings Tribe is not particularly strong, and there is still a certain gap compared with Xianbei. However, because it is backed by the big tree of the Yuan family, it dares to compete with Xianbei.

Compared with the Southern Xiongnu and Wuhuan Tribes, Xianbei's power has developed quite rapidly in the past few decades. Of course, when it comes to population base, Xianbei is more than ten times different from the Han people, and when it comes to productivity and technology, Xianbei and the Central Plains have

There is still a big gap, but after all, all Xianbei people are soldiers. Regardless of men, women, old or young, as long as they are given a horse and a scimitar, they will dare to ride south and go into battle to kill the enemy. This is really a headache for the Han people.

And compared to the Xiongnu back then, Xianbei's current territory is really too large.

How big is it... It can be said that the territory now controlled by the Xianbei leaders, in terms of land area alone, is almost larger than the combined total of the prefectures and counties of the Han Dynasty from the north of the Yangtze River.

Of course, most of these territories were grasslands, pastures and deserts, and no effective civilization had been established. However, this boundless grassland area gave the Xianbei people great strategic depth.

It borders Yunzhong, Dingxiang and other places in the south, while the Xianbei border in the north, according to later geographical calculations, almost reaches Lake Baikal, while the Mongolian Plateau, Ulaanbaatar and other places in the middle have undoubtedly become

The back garden of the Xianbei people.

Therefore, since the Eastern Han Dynasty, Xianbei has been the greatest threat to the Han Dynasty in the north. This is not a random statement. They do have this potential.

Although the Wuhuan and the Southern Xiongnu were attached to the Han Dynasty, they were not completely trusted by the people within the Han Dynasty. Now they and the Xianbei began to compete for grazing rights in Dingxiang and Yunzhong areas. This was a problem for the Han people.

, is naturally a good thing.

"It seems that chaos broke out in the northern part of the Great Wall. Although Yuan Shao wanted to fight against us, he had no time to look southward for a while."

Xun You nodded and said, "That's exactly it."

Lu Bu, who had been silent until now, suddenly said: "Although Yuan Shao can't come for a while, he will come eventually. It would be unwise if we didn't make any preparations."

"What Marquis Wen said is very true." Xun You turned to look at Zhang Yun: "Please also ask Da Sima to dispatch troops and generals."

Zhang Yun was interested in assigning generals, but he really didn't have a clue for a while.

Moreover, the people present were all masters of military operations. He made random assignments in a hurry. If something did not go well and others found a flaw, he would probably be laughed out of his head later.

The Great Sima of the Han Dynasty still had to save his face.

Zhang Yun looked at Huang Zhong and said: "General Huang is the leader of our army. If Han Sheng arranges the matters ahead, there will be no mistakes. Situ is the first minister in the court. The food, grass, ordnance and military supplies are all important."

In order to arrange all matters, Situ should communicate properly with Taicang and make arrangements in various places."

What he said was that the strategic layout and grain dispatching were all handed over to Huang Zhong and Xun You, and he himself became the hands-off shopkeeper.

But it has to be said that Zhang Yun took this step in the right direction. When it comes to experience and strategic vision, these two are indeed above him.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Huang Zhong turned around and ordered his men to bring the precision sand table made by Chao Zhongxin to the main hall and place it.

He said to everyone: "Your Majesty is still in the south. This order only asked us to make preparations in advance, but did not say that we would send troops. According to Mr. Huang, your Majesty wanted to defend first and then attack, just like the corpse village."

It’s like fighting.”

After that, Huang Zhong pointed on the sand table: "According to the current situation, Yuan Shao will not come for the time being, but it gives us enough time to prepare. According to the future, if Yuan Shao wants to invade Luoyang, he must still cross the Yellow River natural chasm.

, but like last time, a large-scale deployment of troops swept across the invasion. He should not make such a mistake again. Thinking about it, he will seize several main areas of use, compress the space of Luoyang, and then gradually devour it.

So it was all done."

"According to the general's opinion, which areas of use will Yuan Shao seize?"

Huang Zhongdao: "I'm afraid Yuan Shao shouldn't even think about the Taihang Mountains to the north of Luoyang. It's Zhang Yan's territory. He can't get in even if he wants to, and he can't figure it out even if he gets in...According to Huang's opinion, Huai County, Hanoi

, Wen County and Xinxiang should be the main targets of Yuan Shao's next southern invasion."

Everyone immediately turned their attention to Hanoi.

Huang Zhongyan said: "Regionally, Yuan Shao has Hebei and the Central Plains as his foundation, which can be regarded as a condescending suppression of our army. As for Luoyang, if Hebei and the Central Plains want to raise troops from two directions, the most important thing is to open up the

The border between the North and the East. Although these three counties are all north of the Yellow River, they are all close to the intersection of the three rivers. Everyone knows that the Yellow River has three major branches. The first branch goes west through Luoyang.

The northern branch goes straight to Guanzhong, the second branch goes northeast through Puyang, goes straight to Jibei, and goes to Le'an out of the Bohai Sea. The other branch goes eastward to Guandu, passes through Chenliu, and then goes north... But this
