Lu Su was also excited, and a strange flush appeared on his face. Yuan Shu's vision was no longer just in the small place of Dahan, but faced a broader world. Lu Su was willing to devote his whole life to such a vision.
Power.
"Okay, since the future of such a big man depends on you, go down and prepare, and then go north with the army."
After looking at the three young faces, Yuan Shu nodded. When they grow old, the big man will have to rely on these young people to support him.
"promise."
"promise."
"promise."
The three of them clasped their fists together and left Yuan Shu's state pastoral residence together.
"Lord, do you really want to set up a staff group?"
Jushou also heard Yuan Shu's thoughts and asked him directly.
"Well, I have thought a lot about the setting up of the staff. The existence of the staff can help the marching generals to check for leaks and fill in the gaps, and can also help them make suggestions. This is beneficial to the long-term development of the army. A good staff can even decide a decision.
The direction of the battle."
Yuan Shuchong nodded to Jushu, there was no doubt that he must implement the staff system.
"My Lord, the essence of a staff officer is actually a staff. If it is really implemented in the entire army, it means that every general will have the right to open a government. In this case, I am afraid there will be problems."
Compared with what Yuan Shu said, Ju Shou was more concerned about the problems that may arise after the implementation of the staff system. In this case, it is likely that the general will have private staff to fill the staff, which is detrimental to the rule.
"It's okay. There are advantages and disadvantages. For a thoughtful person, even if there is no staff system, he will still support his staff privately, but for loyal ministers, it is good, so just do what I say."
Since Yuan Shu was able to propose the staff system, he has already considered what Ju Shou said. In the long run, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Otherwise, modern society would not allow the staff system to continue to exist.
"Now that my lord has thought it over clearly, Ju Shou won't say anything more. Then I will go down and make arrangements for dispatching troops."
Jushou glanced at Yuan Shu again. Since he had thought of it, there was nothing to say. Just as Yuan Shu said, you cannot guard against someone with evil intentions. If someone really has evil intentions in the future, he will have staff and staff, but loyal ministers will not.
, this will actually lead to disadvantages.
"Well, go ahead."
Yuan Shu nodded to Jushu, and when he saw him leaving, he turned around and left to see his newborn children.
Preparations for the army's expedition had already begun when Yuan Shu was preparing to go north. Three days later, Yuan Shu swore to fight for the northern expedition in Xindu, and an army of hundreds of thousands left in a mighty manner and headed towards Youzhou.
During Yuan Shu's Northern Expedition, Dong Zhao, the envoy to Bu Dugen, was escorted by a thousand cavalry and finally came within Bu Dugen's sphere of influence.
As soon as they reached Bu Dugen's range, Dong Zhao's team was discovered by the Xianbei people, but they had too many cavalry. A thousand men were equivalent to the soldiers and horses of a small tribe. But as they went further and further north,
There were more and more Xianbei cavalry around them.
"Sir, there are quite a few wolves around us. Do you want to fight one?"
The accompanying captain Yuan Peng looked around. In fact, he had noticed it as early as when the Xianbei people were around them. Now with more and more people around, Yuan Peng felt a sense of crisis. If
If this continues, it is very likely that we will be directly annihilated by the enemy, and such an envoy plan will be impossible to implement.
"No, order the army to stop advancing temporarily. If you destroy them now, it will inevitably cause the Budugen Group to be hostile to us. Unfurl the flag and wait for them to come."
Dong Zhao thought for a while and rejected Yuan Peng's proposal. If a war was really going to start now, it might have a negative effect on future negotiations. Rather than doing so, it would be better to temporarily stop progress.
By setting a clear banner, I believe the Xianbei people will not attack rashly when they see this. After all, they are currently at war with Kebi Neng. If they offend themselves, it will be uneconomical for them.
"promise."
After hearing Dong Zhao's analysis, Yuan Peng had nothing to say and could only nod his head and act according to his instructions.
A thousand cavalry stopped to guard Dong Zhao's chariot in the middle, while the banner of the Han Dynasty fluttered in the sky with the strong wind.
Seeing Dong Zhao's cavalry pause, the Xianbei cavalry around them were also confused, and the leaders of several tribes also gathered together.
"What's going on on the other side?"
One of the leaders heard that the other party had stopped advancing and asked directly.
"I don't know, but they came from Bingzhou and should be Han cavalry."
The tribal leader who first observed Dong Zhao also frowned. He only knew that Dong Zhao was from Bingzhou and knew nothing else.
"Their flags are those of Bingzhou. I don't think they are here to start a war. Why don't you go and see them?"
The other leader looked at the other person, then in Dong Zhao's direction, and made such a proposal.
"Well, let's go and have a look. It seems like they don't have any malicious intent now. Let's see what they are going to do."
"Walk."
The leaders of four or five small tribes nodded together, and then set off with nearly 3,000 cavalry, running wildly in the direction of Dong Zhao.
"coming."
Looking at the smoke and dust in the distance and feeling the trembling of the earth, Yuan Peng came directly to reply to Dong Zhao.
"I see."
Dong Zhao directly opened the curtain, stood on the carriage and looked up into the distance.
After a while, three thousand cavalry arrived and faced Dong Zhao and others.
"who are you?
Why do you come to our grassland?"
A muscular Xianbei leader rode out on horseback and asked questions in the direction of Dong Zhao.
"We are envoys sent by the Han Dynasty. We want to see Bu Dugen Chanyu."
Yuan Peng stepped out of the cavalry, looked at the people in front of him, and directly stated his purpose.
"Want to see our Budu Genchanyu?
What do you want to do?"
Hearing Yuan Peng's words, the tribal leader on the opposite side was also stunned. He didn't understand the purpose of Dong Zhao and the others' coming. Why did they want to see Bu Dugen?
"You don't need to know this. You just need to tell Bu Dugen that we have no ill intentions. I can't tell you what the specific purpose of coming here is yet."
Yuan Peng shook his head. What they wanted to do could not be told to a small minion like the other party. They just had to let him bring the words to them.
"Wait a moment."
After Yuan Peng said this, the people on the opposite side also hesitated for a while, and directly clasped their fists at Yuan Peng, and then went back to negotiate with several leaders. In the end, the result of their negotiation could only be to send people to monitor Dong Zhao and the others as they went north, and to send people to Bu.
Dugen reported the news about Dong Zhao.
The Xianbei people went all the way north and came directly to Budugen's base camp.
"Chanyu, the envoy from Bingzhou has arrived, and is now slowly heading north under the supervision of Ekana."
The scouts who went north directly told Bu Dugen about Dong Zhao's situation.
"The envoy from the Han Dynasty is here?
Did they say why they came here?"
When Bu Dugen heard what the scout said, he was immediately stunned.
"They said there was no malicious intent and they would not tell me the specific purpose of my visit until I met Shanyu."
The scout shook his head. Yuan Peng didn't tell them his purpose, so he could only answer Yuan Shu truthfully.
"no offence?
Okay, I understand, just go down and wait."
Bu Dugen waved the scouts down, then looked at the tribal chiefs around him.
"You said that the Han Dynasty has sent an envoy here. If there is no malicious intention, he should have seen the fight between us and Cobineng. Now that Tadun has unified the Wuhuan people and begun to infiltrate the Han Dynasty, he must be afraid that we Xianbei will be united after the unification.
, it will be difficult for a big man to resist."
A thin old man with shining eyes looked at Bu Dugen and directly expressed his thoughts. His name was Anka, and he was an old man who survived from the Tanshihuai era.
"According to your opinion, the big man is here now to help us fight against Kobe?"
Hearing Anka's words, Budugen was also excited. Now he was already a little unable to face the aggressive Kebineng.
Seeing this situation, the small tribes that were originally attached to his command were also shaken and unstable.
If he can really gain the support of the big man now, it will definitely do more good than harm to him.
"But the Han people have a saying that those who are not our race will have different minds. If we really act according to their ideas, after they solve Tadun, will their next target be on us?"
Just as Bu Dugen finished speaking, a muscular man frowned and spoke.
"It's okay. If we have Yuan Shu's support, we may be able to capture Kebineng in a short period of time. To say the least, even if he can really wipe out Tadun before we capture Kebineng, then it won't be a big deal.
We won’t be too harsh on us, because a weak Xianbei is the most suitable for a big man."
Anka looked at Bu Dugen and spoke the next words confidently.
"Well, Anka is right. A weak Xianbei is most beneficial to the big man, so let them do it. I want to see what they want to do."
Although Bu Dugen is not very talented, he still respects the old man Anka because this is the wealth left to him by his grandfather.
"Chanyu, we can't wait here, because what we have to do now is to compete with the big man for time. If we can buy one more day, we will have one more day to deploy. And since the big man wants to unite, we must have our own attitude.
Now that we go south, we can achieve unity faster and maintain goodwill."
Anka glanced at Bu Dugen. To be honest, he was very optimistic about Kebineng, because he saw the shadow of Tanshihuai in Kebineng, but he had no choice but to make him a minister of Tanshihuai. It was absolutely impossible.
Now turn your back on Budogen and join Cobinon.
"Well, let's do it this way. Anka will follow me south to meet the Han envoy, and the rest of the people will prepare their troops and prepare to fight with Kobi Neng."
Since Anka said so, Budugen had nothing to say and just went south.
