"What does Shizhong Li mean? Yan Yanming from Hedong is across the river, and he still has to come over to attack me Zuo Fengyi?"

After Guo Si was slightly surprised, he immediately realized that this was very likely just a mysterious and mysterious statement to the counselors such as Li Ru. He sneered repeatedly, and then he was shy with his stomach, as if he was disbelief.

Li Ru was not in a hurry to argue with Guo Si, and said thoughtfully:

"Hedong Yan Yan is like Duan Wei from Huayin, and is good at tolerance. At that time, in Dongying, Rus could only see that this person is extremely brave and capable of using his claws. But who could have expected that this person's heart was far beyond ordinary people. Even if he became bigger, Hongnong, Hanoi, and Henan had been defeated one after another. If this continues, who can control it?"

Li Ru looked at Guo Si, and after seeing him bowing his head and pondering, he said leisurely:

"Don't forget the latter general. Yan Yan and Gan Ling are called kings and ministers, but they are actually brothers. The latter general forced Gan Ling to cross the east in Xihe River, but they formed a great hatred with Yan Yan. If Yan Yan, who owns the land of the Three Rivers, was able to rest and grow stronger, I am afraid that in the future, what the Hedong soldiers are referring to will be the general!"

After hearing Li Ru's words, the generals under Guo Si's command changed slightly. Over the days, they also heard about the power of the Hedong soldiers and horses, destroying Zhang Yang, retreating Que Yi, defeating Zhang Ji, and covering the three rivers. They all had elite soldiers and generals under their command, with great momentum.

Among them, Gao Shuo and Xia Yu looked the most abnormal. When they captured the Xihe Land, they were all vanguards. Although they suffered some losses under Yan Xing's men, they at least took back the Xihe Land without any danger. At present, they were stationed in the Xihe Land. If Hedong raises troops westward, the first thing they will be to bear is their troops.

Of course, there are special examples under Guo Si, such as Zhang Xiu. Zhang Ji was defeated by Yan Xing and Duan Wei, lost his troops and fled in a panic, and even suffered physical and mental injuries. He was seriously ill. Zhang Xiu and Yan Xing and Duan Wei had a deep revenge on his face, but his face changed color because if Guo Si fought with Hedong, their uncle and nephew of the Zhang family would have a greater chance under Guo Si, and they had an opportunity to avenge him.

Guo Si soon noticed the changes in his faces. He snorted coldly, and was very dissatisfied with Li Ru's means of shaking his morale in the army. He said disdainfully:

"What if you have a big grudge? Don't say that you can wait for it to rest and then attack. As long as my army of Zuo Fengyi has a little rest, it will be a trivial matter between destroying him, Yan Yan, and destroying him!"

Guo Si said his crazy words very well, but Li Ru didn't believe it. He continued:

"Then the general should not underestimate the soldiers and horses of Hedong. This time, Yan Yan's troops destroyed Zhang Yang, retreated Que Yi, and defeated Hongnong. It can be said that they fought at the same time, and the soldiers were too busy to rest, and they still won consecutive victories. Now that the momentum in Hedong has been achieved, it is better to be steady!"

Li Ru knew that Guo Si was arrogant and arrogant. If it were not for the interest, he would not believe his words. So he turned to Zhang Xiu, who was under Guo Si, and said with a chuckle:

"If the latter general doesn't believe the complaints and doesn't ask in public, what about Major General Zhang, who is fighting with most of Hedong soldiers?"

When Guo Si heard this, the scar on his face shook, his eyes turned, and he unconsciously looked at Zhang Xiu.

He also valued Zhang Xiu's courage and good fighting. Therefore, in order to keep Zhang Xiu, he not only submitted a letter to the court to grant Zhang Xiu the title of General Jianzhong, but also made many promises to him that he would retake Hongnong County for their uncle and nephew and avenge them this great revenge.

Therefore, Guo Si cleared his throat and looked at Zhang Xiu and asked:

"My nephew, I want to raise all the troops to avenge your uncle and nephew's blood and attack Hedong. Do you think Yan Yan may be comparable?"

When Zhang Xiu heard Guo Si's question, he was shocked and secretly whispered Li Ru in his heart that he had already lived under someone else's roof and was no longer the major general of the past, but this savage-tongued strategist still wanted to pull himself into this quagmire.

Zhang Xiu remembered Zhang Ji's advice in his heart. Guo Si took in them, the defeated generals, and acted as if he wanted to avenge them. However, under Guo Si's command, they should be more careful, so as not to accidentally violate the taboos of Guo Si, who had always been arrogant and domineering.

Therefore, Zhang Ji repeatedly reminded Zhang Xiu that under Guo Si, they could only keep a low profile and not bear it. They should not be anxious to talk to Guo Si about taking revenge or instigating Guo Si to raise an army to attack Hedong. Only by pretending to be depressed and cautious will they have the opportunity to rise again in these Xiliang Army camps that are constantly fraught with each other.

Thinking of his uncle's advice, Zhang Xiu immediately saluted respectfully, and acted as if he was Zuo Fengyi and Guo Si, and said seriously:

"Yan, Duan Er Thief, seized the land of my uncle and nephew Hongnong, and destroyed our Xiliang army. This is a deep hatred for the sea of ​​blood, and wept with pain and blood. Just to get avenge as soon as possible, killing the enemy with his own hands. However, the soldiers and horses in Hedong are strong and the supply of food and supplies are endless. Our army needs to repair it for some time. When the next year comes, the soldiers are strong and the food is sufficient, so we can find an opportunity to destroy this giant bandit!"

Although Zhang Xiu's words were very obscure, Guo Si could understand the general idea, that is, he would have all his troops and attack Hedong, and he had no chance of winning. Unless he would wait until the next year, his troops were strong and his food was sufficient, and Hedong had the opportunity to take advantage of it, so he could have a large army and attack Yan Yan.

If Li Ru's words were still alarmist with other purposes, Zhang Xiu, who had fought with Hedong soldiers, was a real and sophisticated statement.

Speaking of attacking Hedong, Guo Si believed that among the generals present, Zhang Xiu had the strongest thoughts, but even he thought that he had no chance of winning by attacking Yan Yan. This means that the strong neighbor behind him was really strong enough to be worthy of his fear.

Maybe, I really should have peace talks with Li Jue from Chang'an and free up my hands to deal with Hedong, a rapidly rising strong neighbor?

Guo Si muttered in his heart, stared at Li Ru, and said:

"Okay, I have already understood the kindness of the officials in the court. I wonder if there is anything else that the servant wants to convey?"

Li Ru smiled. He had seen through Guo Si's heart that was beginning to shake. He took advantage of the situation and said directly:

"There is a command from General Cheqi and Cavalry. General Cheqi is willing to reconcile with the Later General and personally lead the army to regain Hongnong County for General Zhendong!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the seat was shocked!

···

Xihe County, Li Shicheng.

Yu Fuluo and Huchuquan walked around the outskirts of the city. The grass outside the city had become bare, revealing a slight crack on the surface. A strong wind blew, and then a large amount of wind and sand were rolled up, making the pedestrians unable to open their eyes.

Yu Fuluo spat out a mouthful of sand and dust, looking at Lishi City, which had already become ruins, standing on his horse, silent.

This grassland man who entered the middle age had a vicissitudes of face and pale temples, as if he had been aged for decades. He was no longer the Luantiyufuluo, who looked at the world of flowers and was ambitious to do something great in order to restore the supreme glory of the Luanti clan of the Xiongnu Shanyu.

Like the Huns, the Han Empire was in a state of fragmentation. The heroes rose from all over the world, and the authoritative crown of the Han emperor also fell to the ground. However, the local princes who had independent troops and separating the prefectures and counties were not just a down-and-out Hun prince, and thousands of Huns could leverage them.

He once wanted to rely on the Han court, but because of the large-scale invasion of the rebels in Liangzhou, the Han court had no energy to care about him, the Hun prince. He wanted to unite with the Baibo army in Hedong, but Baibo from Hedong was defeated by elite soldiers from Xiliang.

He later wandered in Taiyuan, Shangdang and other places, relied on Yuan Shao, and betrayed Yuan Shao. He was defeated by Queyi and defeated Geng Zhi. Later, he saw that Yuan Shu was in great power and joined forces with Heishan to seek refuge with Yuan Shu. As a result, he was beaten by Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's coalition forces and were defeated again and fled.

As Yuan Shao's power gradually expanded, Yuan Shao also made a free move to let his nephew Gaoguan manage Bingzhou. Faced with the situation of powerful enemies around him who cannot be violated lightly, the Xiongnu prince had to lower his noble head and choose to surrender to Yuan Shao and Gaoguan.

In return, Yuan Shao, who had already named himself a general of cycling and cavalry and had also wanted to establish a new emperor, waved his hand without hesitation and gave Yu Fuluo his coveted title of the Xiongnu Shanyu, and gave it to Yu Fuluo together with the fake Shanyu golden seal.

But how much significance can these false pretenses on names have?

The reason why Yu Fuluo had hoped that the Han court could grant him the title of Shanyu was that he wanted to use the reputation and strength of the Han Dynasty to help him quell the rebellion within the Huns and truly ascend to the throne of the Huns.

Now Yuan Shao waved his hand and gave himself the reputation and golden seal of Shanyu, but he could not dispatch a large army to help him quell the rebellion within the Huns. He was just superficially noble. In fact, he was still the prince of the Huns who lost his tribes and went into exile.

Yuan Shao also hoped that the surrendered Xiongnu cavalry could help his nephew, senior officials, stabilize the situation in Bingzhou. However, by this year, senior officials were reluctant to support such a foreign army, or they could not.

Hebei must guard against Gongsun Zan's army, eliminate the remnants of Heishan, eliminate Tian Kai, Kong Rong and others in Qingzhou, and send troops to Dongjun to intimidate Lu Bu and Zhang Miao who fought with Cao Cao for Yanzhou.

Yuan Shao used troops everywhere, but he could not raise the Huns.

However, the senior officials in Bingzhou could not afford to support this group of Hun cavalry that were chewed by horses this year.

The Bingzhou, led by the senior officials, was shrunk like the Bingzhou governor in his nominal form. In fact, only Taiyuan was left, Shangdang and a small part of Yanmen County, and others such as Shuofang, Yunzhong, Xihe, Wuyuan, and Dingxiang, either abandoned the counties and migrated people in the late years of Emperor Ling, or occupied by the Xianbei, Xiongnu, and Mihu, and were unable to repay them.

There was just a little broken territory in his hand, and he had to deal with the invasion and plunder of Zhang Yang from Hanoi. The senior official, the governor of Bingzhou, deserved it, but it was not as glorious as it seemed on the surface.

Especially this year, there is a drought and a locust plague. There is no grain harvest in many places in Bingzhou, and the food and grass are not sufficient. Jizhou is unable to support it. The food and grass collected by the high-ranking officials will only be given priority to the trusted generals and relatives like Xiang Guo Yuan and Gao Rou, and their relatives, how can they care about Fuluo, a team of idiots?

So the high-ranking officials were half gifts and half threats, and they asked Yu Fuluo's Hun cavalry to return to Xihe County for food.

However, after returning to Xihe County, the Han counties here were abandoned and suffered from drought. The grasslands of the locust plague were bare and were not enough to herd horses and raise animals. What's even more terrible is that other tribes within the Huns hated each other and were wary of foreigners, trying to attack Yu Fuluo, and attempted to annex Yu Fuluo, a branch that entered their territory.

The internal divisions of the Southern Xiongnu were already very obvious. Tuge, Tiefu, Jihu and other Huns had already established wealthy chiefs. Some of them were the descendants of Xiuturen who were conquered by the Huns in the past, some were the descendants of Mishu who intermarried with Wuhuan, and some were the mixed-race Qiang and Hu who lived with Qianren and Qiang.

However, these different species of the Huns were just strong branches and weak trunks for the decline of the Shanyu Division. The left nobles of the Xiongnu who had originally left the Shanyu Division, such as the Julong tribe, Juqu tribe and the Saizu tribe, became the main concerns of the Xiongnu Khan. Like the Che Nu of the Julong tribe, they once established themselves as the Shanyu Division, united with the Juqu tribe and the Saizu tribe, and attacked the Shanyu Division in a large number.

The Southern Shanyuting located in Meiji is still controlled by the left Xiongnu. Yufuluo is unable to retake the Shanyuting with his troops. For this reason, he sent his uncle to contact the most powerful Huns, the Huns.

Of course, Yu Fuluo knew that the various potential threats of Tujia were not smaller than those of the Xiongnu in the left. These descendants of Xiutu, who were once conquered by the ancestors of the Luanti clan, have gradually recovered a certain degree of strength as the years went by. They were also salivating for the weaker Shanyu headquarters and wished they could replace them.

But Yu Fuluo had no choice. He had to use the strength of Tuge's tribes to suppress the opposition forces of the Julong tribe, Juqu tribe and Sae tribe in the left tribe before he could return to the Shanyu court and successfully ascend to the shaking Shanyu throne.

His uncle went to the throne, and his other species of Huns were mixed with bloodlines like the Tu tribes. Yu Fulu sent him there in hopes that he could persuade Tu tribes to change his position, and support him to return to the position of the Shanyu. Even if he had to pay a huge price, Yu Fuluo would spare no effort for the glory of the Luanti clan.

Hu Chuquan looked at Yu Fuluo at the ruins of the city wall. After looking at it for a long time, thinking about the gradual decline of the Luanti clan, as the man of the Luanti clan, he felt uncomfortable. He sighed and said to him:

"Shanyu, I believe that if he goes to Uncle Bei, he will be able to convince all kinds of people to help us. We will be able to return to the Shanyu court soon!"

Yufuluo glanced at his younger brother. The Huns pursued the inheritance of brothers and brothers, fathers and sons. In the past, brothers and sisters were also cruel to the position of Shanyu. In order to prevent the young brothers from harming their young descendants, Shanyu would generally give their younger brothers land, tribes, and livestock to enfeoff them.

However, now that the Shanyu headquarters is in decline, they are fleeing people, and they cannot even return to the Shanyu court, and their brothers can only join forces to resist foreign enemies.
