Gongsun Zan felt a little unhappy when he saw that Liu Bei was still holding back as before, but he also wanted to know what Liu Bei suggested, so he could only wait. When Liu He heard what Liu Bei said, he was already anxious.
Then he asked: "Xuande, do you have any good suggestions? Tell me quickly!"
Liu Bei smiled slightly and said: "Raise the bandits!" "Raise the bandits?" Gongsun Zan and the three of them couldn't help but say at the same time. Liu Bei saw a glimmer of light in the eyes of the three of them and nodded: "Liu Youzhou is not willing to fight, so for
The military is not repaired, and now Wei You is sent as an envoy to Wuhuan. If Wuhuan and other tribes unite with Youzhou, Youzhou will be much more stable. After all, if other tribes want to go to Youzhou, they are still separated by Wuhuan.
So Wuhuan is our biggest bargaining chip at the moment!" Liu Bei said no more. He knew that as a qualified counselor, sometimes he had to give his lord more room to perform, otherwise, he would be jealous!
Sure enough, Gongsun Zan showed a smile on his face, nodded and said: "Xuande is really a great talent!" Liu He also understood, with a look of joy on his face, he drank the wine in the cup and said with a smile: "
Okay, let’s do it like this!”
Wei You is the long history of Liu Yu and the highest official in Youzhou except Liu Yu. This time Wei You was sent to Wuhuan to seek an alliance. He originally thought that the Wuhuan people would not agree, but he did not expect that the Wuhuan people would not agree.
Very happily, he agreed to the alliance, which Wei You didn't expect. Later, when Wei You thought about it carefully, he understood that the Wuhuan people and Xianbei had been fighting for more than half a year, and it became a never-ending situation. Wuhuan people
There was originally a shortage of food and grass, and they all relied on the grassland to live. Last year, there was heavy snow, and various parts of the grassland suffered a lot of losses, Wuhuan was the most serious. Later, Liu Lin sent troops to Lulong City, and burned Wuhuan's rear area with another fire.
, which makes Wuhuan even worse. Although the Wuhuan people are barbaric and untrustworthy, as long as the war between the Xianbei people and the Wuhuan people continues, Youzhou will be safe. Besides, Youzhou has become more mature under Liu Youzhou's governance.
Seeing the prosperity, Wei You believed that in a short time, Youzhou would become the largest state in the Han Dynasty! Thinking of this, Wei You looked very high-spirited.
This time, there were many Wuhuan people who followed Wei You back to Youzhou. They were all servants of the Wuhuan nobles. They followed Wei You back this time to go to Shanggu and exchange these horses for the salt they needed.
, grain and other necessities of life. Currently, the trading market in Shanggu is in charge of two businessmen, Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping. One handles transactions in border counties and the other handles transactions in Central Plains. It can be said that various constructions in Youzhou in the past six months are inseparable from the two.
Human commerce.
"Sir, we are almost at Youbeiping. Let's take a rest!" said a guard next to Wei You. Wei You was very proud of himself when he came out this time, so he traveled very quickly along the way. When the guard said this, Wei You also felt
Feeling a little tired, he waved his hand and said: "Rest for half an hour, eat something, and then set off, try to enter Youbeiping before dark!" "No!" The guards shouted, these people are from Youzhou Prefecture.
This time Wei You sent an envoy to Wuhuan, and Liu Yu sent 500 sergeants to protect him for safety on the road. Although they were careful along the way, the Wuhuan people have already formed an alliance, and it is impossible for the Xianbei people to pass through the Wuhuan people.
When the world comes here, it can be said that this place is very safe, so everyone relaxes their vigilance.
Wei You also jumped off the horse. The guard found a cushion, let Wei You sit down, and handed Wei You some dried meat. These were sent by Wuhuan's lord Qiu Liju when Wei You left. Speaking of this Qiu Liju, Wei You
There was a sneer in You's heart. He had a son, Lou Ban, and he actually adopted an adopted son, Tadun. However, this Tadun was very capable and had the allegiance of many tribal leaders. If Qiu Liju died from now on
, this grassland is a mess, Wei You thought of this, with disdain on his face.
Wei You took a sip of water and digested the dried meat. At this moment, he heard a rumbling sound. Wei You was greatly surprised. He raised his head and looked at the sky. The sky was cloudless and clear. It didn't look like thunder.
At this moment, Wei You's heart suddenly became tense, and he stood up suddenly. The guards also heard this sound, and their faces were full of doubts. When Wei You saw it, he shouted: "Hurry up and be on guard!"
Only then did the guards think of pulling out their swords. The Wuhuan merchants also gathered together, pulled out their scimitars, and looked nervously ahead.
"Plop!" An arrow pierced the body of a guard. Wei You was shocked. Looking at the place where the arrow was shot, there was already a dark area, like thousands of people. Wei You knew that he could not be defeated today.
Although Wei You didn't know which part of the army it was, but those who could rob outside the city of Youbeiping were definitely not good, so he shouted, "Mount your horse! Let's go!" When he came back, Wei You didn't bring anything else.
, because the grasslands are also very poor, how can the things they have there compare to those in the Central Plains? But the only thing is horses, more than a thousand horses donated by Qiu Liju to Liu Yu, and some Wuhuan merchants are going to Shanggu
The cattle, sheep and horses being traded formed a huge team. When Wei You saw the large number of people coming, he did not dare to stay, so he took five hundred sergeants and ran away. Originally, these Wuhuan people wanted to compete, but when they saw Wei You
Youdu ran away, so they could only grit their teeth, glance at the thief who was getting closer and closer, and then hurriedly rode away.
But obviously these people didn't want to let Wei You and others go at all. Some of them stayed behind to gather the horses, and most of them chased Wei You and the Wuhuan people, "puchi", "puchi", "puchi"... The people who came were just
There was a burst of shooting from behind, and many of Wei You's guards fell off their horses. Wei You turned around and glanced at the leader of the thief. This man had a big beard on his face, but his eyes were particularly bright, giving him a kind of
Momentum, Wei You is a scholar. Although he once helped Liu Yu defend Youzhou, Wei You was frightened in the face of these tough bandits. He only knew how to escape to survive, so he ran away desperately, and the tough guys behind him
The bandits continued to pursue them from time to time. After chasing for dozens of miles, the group of bandits stopped and looked at the direction Wei You was escaping. A smile appeared on the face of the leader of the bandits!
"Go back and report to Bo Gui, saying that we succeeded!" The bearded man said to a general beside him. The general showed a hint of excitement, clasped his fists and said, "Xuande is indeed very capable!" It turns out that the bearded man is very capable!
It was Liu Bei, and that general was Gongsun Zan’s younger brother Gongsun Xu!
