56, Junyi Krupp Restoration of the Old Xinjiang (Part 1)

Yan Sudang walked out of the lobby first, stood at the door, and did not take a step further.

Jia Kui, Pei Hui, and Lexiong's servant Shi, who followed him, suddenly stopped and stayed by Yan Su's side. After seeing his strong advice, his expression slightly rose. He had not yet calmed down to his usual solemn state, so he hurriedly spoke to comfort him.

Yan Su was the county magistrate in Hedong, and most of the county governments were in charge of all the government affairs. Hedong's military farming and water conservancy achievements were the first to promote it today. When Yan Xing went out many times, he was the first official to stay in charge, stayed in the rear, transported military supplies, and collected civil servants, and made great contributions.

What's more, Mrs. Lu, who was originally a female disciple of Yan and now an adopted daughter, is now even more beloved concubine in the prefect's mansion.

Jia Kui, Pei Hui, Le Xiang and other county officials, both the prefect's brother and the local talent who were respected, needed to take into account the attitude of the county magistrate Yan Su, so they all stopped and comforted the Yan Master, who had not yet fully calmed down.

The two generals Yan Xing and Yang Feng came out. One of them was Yan Xing's clan brothers, and the other was already engaged and was about to become Yan Xing's relatives. They also knew Yan Shu's status in the county government and his weight in Yan Xing's heart, so although they had a slight disagreement with Yan Shu, they were very respectful and then left.

Dian Wei, Bao Chu and other generals did not express their opinions on this matter, nor did they stop too much. After bowing to each other, they then left with great strides.

Xu Kun walked at the end, not because he didn't dare to walk out of the hall after seeing Yan Shu stopping, but because he thought about the scene just now in the hall.

Undoubtedly, Yan Suo, who was very informed of reason and himself, who was strong in using troops, formed a tit-for-tat trend.

But, in fact, can I really compete with Yan Shu, who is called the teacher by Yan Xingjing?

The answer is obviously not possible.

Although Yan Xing had a good relationship with him when he was under Xu Rong's command in the past, he now had a clear distinction between the king and the minister. Although Yan Xing treated each other with courtesy in public and was better known as brothers in private, Xu Kun understood that the two could no longer be the kind of comrade-in-arms in the military they used to be.

Just like Zhao Hong, when doing things in front of Yan Xing, he is cautious in his words and actions and dare not go beyond the slightest.

Therefore, whether in terms of qualifications, credit, or Yan Xing's reliance, I cannot compare with the current popular Yan Suo.

Then why, this controversy will become an indecisive situation.

The reason is intriguing, but Xu Kun, with the smell of a military lieutenant general who has been experienced for a long time, noticed a trace of unusualness.

I am afraid that in the heart of this former brother, he is also ready to have the idea of ​​expeditioning the Huns.

It was only because Yan Suo had too fiercely opposed the spot that Yan Xing took advantage of his own opinions and refused to post them for a long time to make the debate undecided.

Thinking of this, Xu Kun smiled slightly. From the new Dongying who was full of energy to becoming a captain who was living under someone else's roof, his situation and experience had unknowingly changed a lot of things about him. When he was in Dongying, he couldn't understand some of Yan Xing's behaviors, and now he can also carefully experience some of the feelings.

As for the existence that was regarded as a force to fight, Xu Kun didn't mind at all. Now he was like an iron cone with a cold light. As long as Yan Xing had a little idea and wanted to use him to put him in his light bag, he would immediately be able to go head-on and stand out.

So, is it the old man who was called a master by Yan Xingjing that he also saw Yan Xing's plan, so he decided to take a different approach and choose to stop Yan Xing from his own bold and risky plan?

Xu Kun was pretending to be in his mind, his pace was heavy and slow. Other generals and officials had already walked away. He had just stepped outside the hall. At this time, Yan Su also looked at him, and Jia Kui, Le Xiang and others were standing beside him.

"Xu Xiaowei, military strategy said: 'If you fight for profit for a hundred miles, you will capture the generals of the three armies; if you fight for profit for a hundred miles, you will defecate the general'. I hope you can speak carefully about the expedition and attack. Don't ignore the great foundation for temporary gain!"

Xu Kun grinned and said lightly:

"Kun should remember what Mr. Cheng said. But at this time, it depends on the Lord of the Mansion. As a minister, I should wait for the Lord of the Mansion to stop!"

After saying that, Xu Kun put away his smile, accused him of guilt and left.

Yan Su looked at the young captain with straight backs leaving with great strides, his face was solemn and silent.

It is obvious that not only did he see the thoughts of the prefect Yan Xing, but the young captain who advocated the expedition to the Huns also saw it, so he was confident and was not afraid of even saying a single extra word.

When Jia Kui and others saw that the two were unable to talk, Yan Su's face was not angry. He could only comfort him for a few words and slowly left.

Everyone gradually walked away, but Yan Su showed no sign of moving. After a while, he suddenly raised his head and sighed softly.

"Whose fault is the tiger rhinoceros is born from the trunk and the turtle jade is destroyed in the trunk? Those who fall into Hedong and are in danger must be this son!"

···

It was almost the same as Yan Su and Xu Kun expected, and Yan Xing did indeed think about expeditioning the Huns.

However, unlike Lao Shi's expedition, Yan Xing's idea was to summon elite cavalry from Hedong, and then take the infantry and carry food as a successor. Without alarming foreign enemy spies or recruiting civil servants in the county, he set out from Puzi and rush to Lishi, just like the Han Han attacking the Huns in the former Han Dynasty, and fought a quick annihilation battle.

For this reason, at night, Yan Xing privately summoned Xi Zhicai, Sun Zi, Pei Ji and Zhou Liang in the side room, and discussed plans to conquer and attack the Huns with these close ministers around him.

Long-distance raids are a risky way of fighting. In Yan Xing's experience in joining the army, he had successful experiences and lessons of failure.

In the fifth year of Zhongping, when the cavalry of the Liangzhou coalition army rushed to Chencang City, they suffered a great loss, and later they fell into the long dilemma of the city of Dunjian.

In the second year of Chuping, when he led his light cavalry to attack Fengqiu in Chenliu, he attacked at night to burn the rear of the 100,000 Guandong Sourjujube Alliance, causing the originally alienated coalition forces to fall apart in just one month and collapse on the spot, and there was no possibility of alliance.

The key to success or failure lies in the suddenness of one's own side and the vigilance of the enemy. Therefore, although Yan Xing intends to use danger, he still pays great attention to information from Xihe County.

In the side room, the candlelight on the lamp stand was illuminated by the faces of everyone not far away. Zhou Liang held a few documents in his hand and carefully explained the information from Liu Qiao to Yan Xing.

"It is said that Yu Fuluo, the Southern Xiongnu, was forced to transfer into Xihe County because of the famine in Bingzhou and the high-ranking officials were unable to supply food and grass. Xihe County also suffered locust plagues and severe droughts. Such as Lishi, Zhongyang, Lin County, Gaolang had long been abandoned by the Han court. People migrated and fled, and the fields were abandoned, and no grass grew. Yu Fuluo, the Xiongnu people had nowhere to eat, so they took risks, invaded our Hedong, plundered cities and towns, collected food and cloth to survive the winter."

In the candlelight, Yan Xing opened the file made of silk in his hand. After he looked at the dense handwriting on it for a while, he asked leisurely:

"The information from Bingdi before said that Yuan Shao from Yecheng had already stated that Yu Fuluo had requested the title of Shanyu. When Yu Fuluo returned to Xihe at this time, would he have reached a compromise with the rebels?"

After hearing Yan Xing's inquiry, Zhou Liang put down the documents in his hand, and then found a letter from the documents beside him. He looked at the letter and began to say:

"This is a letter recently sent back by the caravan entering Xihe County. The letter said that after Yu Fuluo brought the Huns into Xihe County, he wandered around Yu Shi, Zhongyang, Lin County and other places, and had no sign of leaving for the Meiji Shanyuting."

"Also Lishi and Meiji had sent whistle cavalry and scouts to each other. Some nomadic tribes were quite hostile, and the Shanyu Court did not send an envoy to welcome Yufulu, the Shanyu, to return to the old land!"

Yan Xing frowned slightly and continued to ask:

"That is to say, from the current signs, Yufuluo, the exiled Xiongnu people have not been accepted by the Xiongnu people who occupied Meiji, so the other Qiang and Hu still showed hostility towards Yufuluo's."

"According to our people, it looks like this. However, according to the tradition of the Huns, every year in the first month, the famous kings and chiefs gathered in a tent at the Shanyu Court to discuss matters inside and outside the Huns. Whether to accept Yu Fuluo returns to the Shanyu Court and inherit the position of Shanyu should be seen after the beginning of spring."

After listening to Zhou Liang's intelligence analysis, Yan Xing looked at Xi Zhicai. Xi Zhicai thought for a while and began to say:

"Yu Fuluo is now used by Yuan Shao. If he is allowed to return to the Shanyu court and inherit the position of Shanyu, Hebei will have another help. Moreover, Xihe County is adjacent to Taiyuan County and Hedong County. If Yu Fuluo, who is close to Yuan Shao, gains power among the Huns, for Hedong, it will be like another potential hidden danger around him. If he wants to attack, then the faster the spring will be, the better!"

Sun Zi was writing records. After Xi Zhi finished speaking, he temporarily put down his pen and added:

"Zi has recently contacted an old friend in Taiyuan and learned from the letter that the land was famine and the senior officials were unable to take care of themselves, and they did not intend to help the Huns."

Pei Ji was the last speech, with a steady tone and bright eyes.
