Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

In mid-July, Zhao Yun and Gongsunxu led the remnants of the Youzhou Army to convene the young and Zhuang men of Han to fight against hundreds of Wuhuan soldiers and win a great victory.

More than two hundred Wuhuan soldiers fled in embarrassment. After Nanlou learned of this, he was furious and personally led thousands of cavalry to hunt down. However, Zhao Yun and Gongsun Xu immediately led the people to escape. The local people knew the location and the terrain, so Youzhou soldiers and people were able to move.

After the news came out, the people of Youzhou, especially the people of Shanggu and Yuyang counties all yearned for it, and went to defect one after another, and for a while, Gongsun continued to claim tens of thousands of soldiers.

As the governor of Youzhou, Yuan Xi was naturally shocked when he heard about it, and hurriedly summoned his subordinates to discuss the matter.

You Beiping, Council Chamber of the Provincial Government.

Yuan Xi frowned, looked around the civil and military, and sighed.

"Everyone, Wuhuan entered the bandit, and Gongsun continued to resurrect. What should this governor do?"

"Second son." Chang Shi Han Heng took a step forward. He was Yuan Xi's confidant. The family was poor and there was no way to provide for the elderly. Yuan Xi gave a hundred gold to Yuan Xi when he heard that, so Han Heng was loyal to Yuan Xi.

Han Heng said bluntly: "It is the master's established plan to ask Dan Yu to lead the army south, and it is normal for the Wuhuan people to harass the people. The governor does not care about this. The key lies in how to curb Gongsunxu's development."

Yuan Xi sighed when he heard the words: "Although my father made this move to understand the siege, what is wrong with the people? Alas..."

Among Yuan Shao's three sons, Yuan Tan thought that he would be the eldest son to inherit his father's position, so he was brave and violent, while the youngest son Yuan Shang was spoiled and arrogant, but Yuan Xi was kind, but weak.

"Then how to stop Gongsun's resurgence?" Yuan Xi looked at the questioning gaze to the first on the left, the middle-aged Confucian with a square face, it was Tian Feng.

"Why does Mr. Yuan Hao teach me?" Yuan Xi said respectfully.

Tian Feng stood up and said to Yuan Xi, "Second son, this matter is a bit difficult."

"The lord personally ordered Wuhuan Shan Yukindun to lead troops and horses into Kou Youzhou, but Wuhuan people's habits are difficult to change and rob the people."

"Gongsunxu seized the opportunity, and under the guise of rebelling against the Wuhuan people, he took the opportunity to raise his troops, and the people went back in time."

Tian Feng frowned and said: "The united Wuhuan people are the master's plan. The original master's application for the golden seal for the three of Yidun, Su Puyan, and Wuyan was for this purpose. If the second master advocated against Wuhuan People inevitably contradict the master's established strategy. If they don't resist the Wuhuan people, the people will naturally surrender to Gongsun Xu's command."

United Wuhuan people have long been Yuan Shao’s political inclination. When Cao Cao asked Yuan Shao how to take the world, Yuan Shao replied: My south is based on the river, the north prevents the swallows, the generation, and the people of Rongdi, the south is to fight for the world. Among them, Rong Di’s people are not referring to others, but the barbarians such as Wuhuan and Xianbei. Their cavalry is indeed very elite, after all, they are a nation on horseback.

"Could it be that you just watched the people of Youzhou surrender to Gongsun Xu's thieves?" Yuan Xi frowned. My father appointed himself to be the provincial governor of Youzhou. Of course, he must guard Youzhou for his father.

"Hmm..." Tian Feng groaned for a while, and said slowly: "It's not that there is no way to deal with it, but it may be a little bit of popular support."

Yuan Xi beamed with joy and hurriedly said, "It's okay, as long as it can prevent the people of Youzhou from returning to Gongsunxu's thief, please Mr. Yuan Hao to teach me.

Yuan Xi stood up and bowed deeply. Tian Feng nodded and then spoke.

"First, set up checkpoints at the main roads to prevent the movement of people. When they saw the people who had defected to Gongsunxu, they suppressed and brought them back to their places. However, the current shortage of troops is afraid that some of the people will be evaporated."

Yuan Xi nodded: "Well, this is the way."

"General Gao."

"The final general is here, please give the second son." Gao Lan stood up. Although he was defeated, he was still the number one general that Yuan Xi relied on the most.

"General Gao." Yuan Xi said sternly: "Please lead two thousand soldiers and horses and set up checkpoints at various important roads to prevent people from flowing to Gongsunxu."

Gao Lan clasped his fists with a "pop", and said loudly: "Second son, please rest assured, you will definitely live up to your expectations."

Yuan Xi gave a "um" and looked at Tian Feng: "Mr. Yuan Hao, what else?"

"Second." Tian Feng continued: "Wuhuan people often looted weakly prepared villages, but less attacked the local Jiancheng. Please the second son to order the local people to strengthen the walls and clear the wilderness in the name of preventing the Wuhuan people, so that they can take in the people. ."

"Strong walls and clear fields?" Yuan Xi frowned, "As a result, my Youzhou's loss would be great."

"A stopgap measure is a last resort." Tian Feng also frowned. Even if he is a famous figure in Hebei, he cannot always have countermeasures. Especially the Wuhuan people were invited by Yuan Shao himself. Can't expel the Wuhuan people, and openly contradict Yuan Shao, right?

Tian Feng said solemnly: "There is one thing someone is worried about right now. What if Gongsun continues to gather troops and attack the hinterland of Youzhou?"

"This..." Yuan Xi's expression also changed drastically when he heard the words.

Yes! What if Gongsun Xu gathered the people of Youzhou and transferred the Minzhuang organization into the army, so what if he attacked southward?

Shanggu and Yuyang counties are in the northern part of Youzhou, and Yuan Xi’s control belongs to Zhuojun and Youbei Pingping counties in the south. It would be difficult for Gongsun Xu to mobilize the army to go south. You must know that Gao Lan just led the elite of Youzhou. Lost in the war and most of the casualties were when morale was low.

What's more, Youzhou is the old place of Gongsun Jun. Yuan Shaoping has settled in Youzhou for a few months. The local people still support the Gongsun family. In case Gongsun continues to lead the attack, I dare not say that it is the respondent, but some people will inevitably speculate. ...

"Tell me the order." Yuan Xi said in a deep voice: "Order the cavalry to take a walk in the counties to check out the enemy's sentries, and report to Peking if they are intercepted."

At this moment, Yuan Xi was unable to send troops to quell Gongsun Xu, so he had to send more outposts to take precautions.

"Second Young Master, there is a plan here." Han Heng suddenly said.

"Oh? What's the plan, let's hear it." Yuan Xi asked.

Han Heng arched his hand and said coldly: "Then Gongsun Zan conquered Wuhuan, and the two sides formed a deep hatred. At this moment, if Wuhuan learns that Gongsun Xu is the son of Gongsun Zan, he will definitely refuse to let them go."

"Now the Wuhuan people are all ally of our army. Our army can send people to invite the Wuhuan people to kill Gongsun Xu. This is a plan to kill people with a knife."

"Oh?" Yuan Xi was overjoyed: "This is a good strategy, General Gao Lan, you will arrange for the manpower, and later a handwritten letter will be sent to Dadun Shanyu."

Hearing this, Tian Feng sighed secretly. In fact, he had thought of this strategy a long time ago, but... alas!
