After all, he is also a literate person, and has served as a prefect and a nine-level minister. He is said to have seen flowers at the gate of Luoyang City, raced cars outside Handan City, built a canal in the south of Xiangguo County, and escaped disaster in the west of Yunzhong County.
...such a person, at least his perspective of seeing things is higher than that of ordinary people, and the information he brings is naturally of a certain standard.
In fact, after Gongsun Xun thanked the local elders and transferred the Pingcheng County magistrate who took the initiative to open the city to welcome him to Zhongshan, and then appointed an older man from Yi Cong as the Pingcheng magistrate, he was also directly dismissed by Lou Gui.
Tian Feng and Xi Zhong blocked him in his house in Pingcheng.
"So the enemies facing Bingzhou are the Xiongnu and the Baibo bandits?" Gongsun Xun, who was sitting on the couch in the house under the candlelight, did not look surprised after hearing the report. "Approximately how many people are there?"
"There are about 100,000 Huns." Lou Gui responded in a deep voice. "There seem to be more Baibo bandits..."
"The whole Xiongnu clan rebelled and brought chaos to the entire Bingzhou, but there were only a hundred thousand of them?" Gongsun Xun frowned slightly, feeling that the number of Xiongnu rebels was somewhat small.
"The main reason is that when the Xiongnu rebelled, Yu Fuluo, the son of the former Chanyu recognized by the court, Hu Chuquanju led troops in Hedong according to the decree of the court, preparing to deal with the Baibo bandits." Xi Zhong quickly added. "So the military strength was divided.
, and there are still a few solemn old kings stationed at the Xihe Royal Court, and the two are not helping each other."
"That's it." Gongsun Xun nodded slowly: "Then where are Yufuluo and Huchuquan now? They should have come back to compete for the position of Shanyu, right?"
"Now in Shangdang, it is said that at first he was planning to ask General He to issue a decree and seal to him, and then ask for reinforcements to come back and seize Shan Yu's throne. But how could the government control him in the situation before? So he was asked to stay in Shangdang, Hedong
A generation is waiting..."
"If you wait and wait, the world will be in chaos." Gongsun Xun sneered. "Even the noble families and scholars can separate states and counties. He is a noble Xiongnu who has lasted for hundreds of years. How can he not be ambitious? Zhang Yangneng
He deserves a share of the credit for establishing a foothold in the Shangdang Party, right?"
"The Baibo thieves also have a share of the credit." Tian Feng replied in a deep voice. "After the turmoil in the past few months, the Baibo thieves who were entrenched in Shangdang and Hedong repeatedly tried to invade Guanzhong. Dong Zhuo regarded them as a serious problem, so he sent out others.
His son-in-law Niu Fu led troops to Hedong to suppress it, and Zhang Yang was the first to raise his flag to challenge Dong..."
"I understand!" Gongsun Xun nodded immediately. "In this case, the enemies of Bingzhou are called two places, but they are actually three places! One is crossing the Yellow River and invading Yanmen, Dingxiang, Yunzhong, and Taiyuan.
The leader of the 100,000 Xiongnu rebels in the north is the fake Shan Yu Guduhou whom they supported; one is the coalition of Zhang Yang and Yu Fuluo who are entrenched in Shangdang; and the other is naturally Guo Tai and Yang Feng
The leader of the Baibo thieves...is that right?"
"Not bad." Tian Feng responded immediately.
"That's not right." Xi Zhong followed closely, but shook his head slightly.
Tian Feng's face moved slightly when he heard this, but he did not refute for a while, while Lou Gui remained silent in response.
"That's right." Gongsun Xun also suddenly came to his senses. "Bingzhou is in chaos and order has collapsed. Most of Taiyuan has been preserved, but Yang Zhong, the governor of Taiyuan, has never heard of anything extraordinary. It must be a big family in Taiyuan.
They used their strength and relied on the terrain to gather people to protect themselves, leaving the Baibo thieves and the Huns powerless. Moreover, there were many clans in Taiyuan, including Yang Quguo, King of Jinyang, King of Qixian, Linghu of Yangyi, Wen of Qixian, Sun of Zhongdu... Guang
The only thing I can think of directly is that there are so many great Taiyuan clans with a birth of two thousand stones. Since they want to annex three counties, Taiyuan, the heart of the three counties, must deal with it well!"
"The tribes in Taiyuan may not be enemies of the general, right?" Tian Feng asked helplessly. "If nothing else, the prefect Wang Ze is still in the army. Even if the general wants to clean up and subjugate him, he might as well wait for a while, because of this
At this time, we should put military affairs first, defeat the remaining three troops and horses first, and then attack Dong and enter Luo, and then discuss other matters."
"Then we have to be deterred." Gongsun Xun turned to look at Tian Feng, confidently. "The terrain in Bingzhou is complicated and supplies are difficult. Once we pass through Taiyuan and join Shangdang, we will no longer have a passage connecting Youji. Yuan Hao, I asked
You...how can a man entrust his life and death to others?"
I don't know whether Gongsun Xun was too assertive and Tian Feng knew that he couldn't change the other person's mind, or whether it was because his words made sense. Anyway, Tian Yuanhao did not continue to argue.
"But that's the next step. The top priority is to fight against the Huns rebels in the north." Gongsun Xun took the initiative to change the topic. "Zi Bo, Yuan Hao, Zhicai... do you have anything to teach me?
?”
"I think that the so-called hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu are a serious threat, but they are not something to be afraid of!" Lou Gui did his duty, got up and walked around the house and said. "But it is a huge trouble."
"Tell me in detail."
"The big problem is that the Huns are skilled in bow and horse, and their royal court is surrounded by rivers on three sides and protected by deserts. It is extremely difficult to defeat them. This time, we can only try our best to drive them back to Hexi." Lou Gui
Nian Xu talked eloquently. "If we want long-term peace and stability, we need to stabilize Guanzhong and the three counties of Bingzhou. Only then can the military and political affairs be under control."
"This is a plan for the country." Gongsun Xun thought about his understanding of the Huns when he was a commander in Yanmen, and he agreed very much.
"When it comes to not being fearful, it means that the Huns' fighting power is not necessarily terrible." Lou Gui continued. "I once asked Wei Zidu (characterized by Wei Yue), and he said that the Huns are not much different from Wuhuan and Xianbei.
It’s even because the bows and horses that have lived in Han for a long time are a little weak. And the hundreds of thousands of people who have joined the north this time are not elite cavalry, but those who have bows and horses in the clan can call themselves soldiers, and then there are old and weak young people, and some
Miscellaneous, disorderly Qiang, collectively called only one hundred thousand... This kind of military strength, even if the whole army can be gathered together, here in Yanmen, although we only have 20,000 soldiers, we can still be in a majestic formation, face to face, and fight.
Destroy his army."
"That's good." Gongsun Xun still affirmed the other party's judgment. "But the trouble is, they just can't get together... Is that what you meant?"
"Just as the prince said." Lou Gui sighed. "One hundred thousand people...from Yunzhong to Dingxiang, from Yanmen to the north of Taiyuan, scattered in all directions, making a mess...even if they are fake Chanyu
Marquis Gudu may not be able to summon them. But if it is to drive them away, how can we drive away 100,000 people with 20,000 soldiers and horses? Even if we can drive them away, what if we leave and they cross the river to invade Yanmen again? We have to fight.
Only by killing once in a battle can one be shocked for several years."
"Don't you have any good strategies?" Gongsun Xun also frowned for a moment.
Lou Gui, Tian Feng, and Xi Zhong are all embarrassed... Xi Zhong is okay, he doesn't want to talk about military affairs anymore, while Lou Zibo and Tian Yuanhao take military planning as their own responsibility, and the other has always been quite arrogant.
Fan was also awarded the title of Zhonglang General, the military adviser to the left and right, but he was speechless after leaving.
"That's true." Gongsun Xun couldn't help but laugh. "You are all new to Bingzhou. Even Zibo only stayed there for a few days after returning from Danhan Mountain. If we really talk about the humanities, geography, customs and customs of this place,
On the contrary, I know the best... Where is that fake Chanyu?"
"Dingxiang, Luo County (later near Qingshuihe County, Inner Mongolia)."
"I remember that there was General Ren Duliao in the imperial court...who was he and where was he?"
"Jia Cong, Duke Jia, is in the underworld, but he is already dead."
"Who is the governor of Yanmen?"
"Han Zhuo Han Zishu."
"What about the situation in Dingxiang?"
"The whole county was destroyed... The governor has not had anyone to take up his duties for more than half a year."
"Zhang Yi died in battle, Ding Yuan abandoned the defense, and Dong Zhuo did not come to take office." Gongsun Xun, who was already lying sideways on the couch, shook his head helplessly. "I came to sue Dong, but instead I had to clean up the troubles they caused..."
"That's why we can win over the people of Bingzhou." Xi Zhong couldn't help but interjected. "Let's not mention military affairs. In this name, we can send a message calling on Yanmen Prefect Han Zhuo and other county magistrates to take the initiative to see the general."
"How can we gather people together if we don't fight a battle?" Gongsun Xun shook his head even more. "In any case, Dingxiang County Zhishanwu (later Zuoyun and Youyu counties) was east of Pingcheng and drove away the Guduhou.
Let’s talk about opening up the road in the clouds, and then send a message to gather the officials from all over Yanmen and ask them to go to Shanwu and see me.”
Lou Gui and the other three had nothing to say.
On October 11, just ten days after Gongsun Xun's westward expedition, his soldiers and horses fought with the Xiongnu Xiutu tribes in Shanwu, Dingxiang. The Xiongnu Xiutu tribes, who were unorganized and were attacked, almost collapsed in one battle and fled south one after another.
Jumping to the west, Shanwu was handed over to Shanwu. However, the Xiongnu pseudo-chanyu Xubuguduhou, who was more than a hundred miles west of Shanwu, was panicked for a moment, like a frightened bird.
——————I am the dividing line who has lived in Shaanxi for a long time and immigrated to Shanxi————
"I held the corpse until I drove the chanyu to Fuluo, and established him in the fifth year of Zhongping. The people of the country killed his father and then established the xubuguduhou as the chanyu. Then he sued himself at Fuluo Yique. Emperor Huiling died.
The world was in chaos, and Shanyu combined thousands of his cavalry with the Baibo thieves to attack the counties in Henei. At that time, the people were all gathered together, and the plundering was not profitable, and the soldiers were defeated. He wanted to return to the country, but the people did not accept it, so he stopped east of the river and went to Shangdang.
