Liu Bei said: "Third brother, don't talk nonsense. There are hundreds of thousands of Xianbei people in the entire Khantan Mountain. How can it be easy to kill the king who is even a Xianbei? If we are not careful, our entire army will be wiped out."
Jian Yong also followed up and said: "It's easy to get burned. He Lian originally wanted to deal with Lei Gong, but after being killed like this by Yide, he might turn around and deal with us!"
Even Guan Yu shook his head, saying that the risk was too great. Even if the two of them were ten thousand enemies, it was impossible to kill hundreds of thousands of Xianbei people, find Helian and behead them.
Liu Bei said to Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping: "Please go to Khantan Mountain to inquire about the situation of the Xianbei people and see their future movements, so that our Tuntian Xiaowei Mansion can be prepared!"
Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping often sold Han goods to the grasslands, and sold horses from the grasslands back to Youzhou. Naturally, they had many old acquaintances among the Xianbei people, otherwise this business would not be possible at all, and now Liu Bei wanted to use them
This relationship!
Su Shuang, Zhang Shiping: "I will never let you down!"
He Lian's actions not only frightened Liu Bei, but also frightened the governors of the entire border counties of Youzhou. They were really worried that He Lian's hundreds of thousands of cavalry would attack their counties now. If there were 10,000 or 20,000 Xianbei people, they would still be able to defend themselves.
, but with hundreds of thousands of Xianbei people, even dangerous passes such as Juyong Pass and Lulongsai may be breached. The terrain of Youzhou is also determined. Most of the counties and counties are bordering the Xianbei people. In other words, they are
Anyone could become the target of the Xianbei attack, so they asked Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou, for reinforcements, weapons, and food and wages one by one, for fear that the hundreds of thousands of Xianbei cavalry would rush towards them.
Although Liu Yu had some soldiers and food in his hands, how could he satisfy so many prefects' requests for help? He could only report the movements of the Xianbei people to the court and ask for help. At the same time, he brought 5,000 soldiers to Daijun to support Liu Bei.
He believes that Daijun is the most dangerous place! After all, they are facing Helian, and there are 100,000 field soldiers in Daijun. If Helian rushes in and incites these field soldiers to rebel, the entire Youzhou will suffer.
"Did Helian attack?" Liu Yu asked immediately after he came to Daijun and found Liu Bei.
Liu Bei shook his head and said: "Not yet!"
Liu Yu then breathed a sigh of relief, dismounted unsteadily and said, "Do you know what happened to the Xianbei people? When did He Lian have such a high reputation that he could command hundreds of thousands of Xianbei people? I thought Tan Shihuai
Resurrected."
Liu Yu had been an official in Youzhou for several years, and had experienced the Xianbei people under Tan Shihuai's rule. At that time, the Han Dynasty was beaten to the point of being exhausted by Tan Shihuai's attack. If Tan Shihuai hadn't died suddenly,
The situation of the Han Dynasty will be even more dangerous. However, He Lian, the son of Tan Shihuai, is greedy for money, lustful, stingy and mean. The Xianbei tribes do not accept him as the Great Khan at all. He can only follow tens of thousands of tribesmen in the Khan Court, and has no prestige to command.
There were so many Xianbei tribesmen, so Liu Yucai was surprised.
Liu Bei thought for a while and said: "The specific situation is not clear yet, but Helian probably wants to attack the Lei Gong headquarters in Mayi!
Since Lei Gong came to Mayi, he not only reclaimed more than 3 million acres of land, but also opened workshops and made a lot of money. It is said that Lei Gong's tribe has millions of cattle and sheep, and Mayi has become the largest village outside the Great Wall.
It’s a prosperous city. Only such a fertile land can attract so many Xianbei people!”
When Liu Yu heard this, he sighed: "This Lei Gong is indeed a talented person, but it is a pity that he has gone astray."
Liu Yu served as an official in Youzhou for several years, but he could only manage to maintain the situation in Youzhou. However, Lei Gong went to Mayi for only a year, but he was able to make the poor city of Mayi, the Pearl of the North, a hundred times more talented than him.
It's a pity that such talents cannot be used by big men!
After sighing, he continued: "However, we cannot be careless. If Helianzhen attacks Daijun, are you sure you can prevent the attack of hundreds of thousands of cavalry?"
Liu Bei said: "There are 100,000 field soldiers in Shanggu, Daijun. As long as they are armed and stationed in Gaoliu, Macheng and Ning counties, as long as each county has 10,000 troops, the Xianbei people will not be able to fight even if they are all exhausted."
Entering Youzhou."
Liu Yu smiled bitterly and said: "Even the entire Youzhou arsenal cannot provide equipment for 100,000 people. I have brought weapons and equipment for 20,000 people this time, and I will give them all to you. I will think of ways to deal with the subsequent equipment, but
You also need to allocate 40,000 field troops to support Yuyang County and Youbeiping County! This is a blessing in disguise. Without this group of field soldiers, the entire Youzhou would have no soldiers available!"
Youzhou naturally has troops, as many as 30,000 to 40,000 people, but the entire Youzhou has a 4,000--5,000-mile defense line. This amount of troops is just like spreading sesame seeds. It can only defend key passes and dangerous passes. The entire Youzhou
The mobile force is the 5,000 men in Liu Yu's hands, plus the 3,000 white horses in Gongsun Zan's hands.
Among them, the 5,000 infantry in Liu Yu's hands supported the entire western counties of Youzhou, while Baima Yicong supported the entire four counties in Liaodong. Unfortunately, Youzhou was too big at this time, occupying half of Hebei, an entire Liaoning Province, and
Half of Korea spans 5,000 miles from east to west. Without this distribution, we simply cannot take care of it.
When Liu Yu wanted to station 100,000 troops in Youzhou, he was opposed by the entire Youzhou, from the prefect Cao Li to the powerful nobles, to ordinary people and Hu people and herdsmen.
This is simply ridiculous. Youzhou's finances are almost bankrupt in supporting these 30,000 to 40,000 frontier troops. Every year, the imperial court has to support Youzhou with 200 to 300 million yuan in food and salary. This allows Youzhou to barely survive. This time, it needs to support 100,000 more.
Even if their treatment is not the same as that of the Han army, it is impossible for Youzhou to support them given the financial situation.
Not to mention that the entire Youzhou only has a population of one million, and now one-tenth of the population is suddenly squeezed in. Food for these soldiers in the field will become a big problem. There is no way to solve this. The officials in the entire Youzhou think that their
The governor was so excited about his success that he couldn't tell the difference between the sky and the earth.
The eunuchs were worried that these Yellow Turban bandits would rebel again and affect their careers. The powerful people were worried that reclamation would infringe on their land. After all, land was needed for reclamation, and the better land in Youzhou was occupied by them. The people and herdsmen were worried that these Yellow Turban thieves would revolt again.
The rebellion made Youzhou become as war-ridden as Jizhou. It can be said that if Fu Bian hadn't spent a lot of money and food support, the settlement of Youzhou would not have been possible.
But this large-scale invasion by the Xianbei people immediately reminded the governors of Youzhou of the 100,000 field soldiers in Liu Bei's hands. They were simply a life-saving straw for these governors. All these field soldiers were the first request for help.
Liu Bei smiled and said: "Xiaguan is naturally willing. Only if these frontier counties are defended and Xianbei people cannot enter Youzhou, all that Xiaguan has done will be meaningful."
