Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 1029 This is already Youzhou
Liu Qun shut up as soon as he heard his father mention the words "Qipin Xianbei".

Within a few years, many tribes emerged on the northern grasslands, but there were only four that could be called a force, and the seventh-grade Xianbei was one of them.

Relying on the innate institutional advantages, the seventh-grade Xianbei can be said to have all the people as soldiers. With Youzhou as the backing and Chen Zhi's strategic thinking as the guidance, the power has expanded very quickly.

But also because of Chen Zhi's restraint, the expansion of the seventh-grade tribe still maintained restraint, and did not recklessly annex the tribe like the normal rise of tribes.

In the first two years, small tribes who coveted the fertile grassland took the initiative to attack, but they were defeated without exception.

After the defeat, the leaders of the small tribes were either killed or demoted as slaves and sent to the mines to work as miners, while their tribal population, cattle and sheep were all absorbed by the seventh-grade Xianbei.

After two years of this, there are no small tribes that dare to challenge the seventh-grade Xianbei, a tribe that looks like a giant beast in the deep sea.

But the seventh-grade Xianbei, who has begun to expand and expand in strength, will not stop there.

This tribe was created by Chen Zhi. From top to bottom, it was a system designed for promotion. Once the desire for expansion was inspired, it would be difficult for anyone to suppress it.

Therefore, in order to reconcile internal conflicts, Chen Jing, who was in charge of the seventh rank, consulted Chen Zhi and embarked on a path of active but limited expansion.

This expansion still needs to be in line with Youzhou's overall strategy, so the expansion route of the Seventh-Rank Tribe is very monotonous. It mainly involves taking the initiative to annex all the surrounding small tribes and incorporate them into the Seventh-Rank system, without going on expeditions.

In this process, they inevitably had conflicts and frictions with the surrounding big clans, but all parties were relatively restrained. After all, the Youzhou Army standing behind the seventh-grade Xianbei did not expand too much, so it still maintained its strength. The surface is peaceful.

In view of this, the reputation of the seventh-grade tribe gradually expanded, and no one dared to underestimate it.

"Do you still remember that a year ago, the seventh-grade Xianbei had a conflict with the Huns in order to hunt down a small tribe, and the Huns had no choice but to give in in the end. This shows how ferocious this tribe is, and with this tribe as its minions, even if it is The Youzhou Army is really weak because it has been immobile for several years, and it is enough to stand on one side."

When Liu Kun said this, he also made a decision.

Many of the soldiers accompanying him guessed his decision, and no one spoke to refute it.

Liu Qun was still a little unwilling and said: "At that time, Liu Cong and Liu Yi were facing each other in the Xiongnu, and the internal strife was serious. Faced with the persecution of Qipin Xianbei, they would give in. Now that the Xiongnu are unified, Liu Cong's decrees are smooth, and the whole country If we meet that seventh-grade Xianbei again, the situation will be different."

Liu Kun shook his head and said: "It's hard to say, but the Huns are not alone. There is the imperial court in the south, Xianbei in the north, and the miscellaneous Huns in the west. Even if they are unified, they will not be able to exert their full strength. Otherwise, if Liu Cong wants to attack us, why bother to pretend to attack us? Liu Yao's name? He was not worried about the interference of the imperial court and Youzhou. The reason why the Tuoba tribe was willing to take advantage of the road was because they wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to attack and kill him. The rest of the surrounding tribes were also happy to see it happen, and the small tribe even hoped that the Huns would Weaken the strength of each other with the Tuoba tribe, or with the Liu family Rouran."

Listening to this complex analysis of the situation, Liu Qun felt a strong sense of malice in it. There was no good person among the various forces and they were scheming against each other.

"You probably realize it's complicated," Liu Kun smiled bitterly, "This situation is so chaotic. Who can predict what will happen next? Just say that this time Liu Cong's Northern Expedition, beforehand, who knew whether he was going to fight Liu Yao or not Tuoba? Or just feint a shot and go back to attack Guanzhong? Some people among us also speculated that after Liu Cong took action, did the court take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, or did some miscreants from the Loop take the opportunity to invade? In the end, they came to fight. Ours! It has changed too fast, and I am a little tired as a father. The situation is like this, why not go to Youzhou." Seeing that his son still had something to say, Liu Kun waved his hands and said, "Don't be anxious, as a father. I have not lost my ambition. When my ancestors and I heard the chicken dance, we had the heart to forge ahead for the Han Dynasty. Now the mountains and rivers are broken, and the northern land has fallen into the hands of the barbarians. If we cannot expel them all, how can we be called Han ministers? But if we put ourselves You pay it in, but you have nothing. This trip to Youzhou is an opportunity to observe and learn."

"Watch and learn?" Liu Qun was stunned.

Liu Kun then said: "The Chen family entered Youyou and used the Wu Ding of Daijun as soldiers. They can fight invincibly. Everyone says that the Chen family has strong soldiers and horses, and the people of Daijun are fierce. In fact, this is not the case. People from Daijun have been there since ancient times. Why?" Can we win a great victory in the hands of Chen? In fact, Chen is good at training and mobilizing troops, and he also knows people well. Therefore, with the soldiers and generals using their lives, and the single-shooting cannon and other sharp weapons, he can be invincible! If my father is gone this time , you should learn his method of training troops, and use it to train troops when you hold an army again in the future!"

"That's it!" Liu Qun nodded, showing admiration. In his impression, his father was an outstanding person, and he would not doubt his knowledge and ability. But then he thought of some news and said worriedly: "But I heard that the military camps in Youzhou are all closed and no one can enter easily. Even if you want to see ordinary soldiers, it is very difficult..."

"There is no airtight wall in the world. If my father goes to Youzhou, he will not be anxious and can wait for the opportunity slowly." Once Liu Kun made the decision, he quickly had a comprehensive plan in mind, "What's more, going to Youzhou , it’s not just about surrendering, nor about borrowing troops without interest, you must first fight steadily and show your ability. The father of training soldiers and fighting may not be as good as Chen Zhengbei, but he still has no problem in managing a place. Although the Chen family is powerful in military affairs , but there may still be some shortcomings in the business area, so this trip will be a good opportunity for him to show off his skills..."

As they talked, the mood of the group improved a lot.

At this moment, the guarding soldiers not far away suddenly made a gesture, and there was an anxious cry.

Immediately, someone came over and reminded: "The Huns' war dogs have discovered this place. Mr. Fu, I have to leave as soon as possible!"

"Okay, I've rested for a while and regained my strength. Now I'm going to march into Youzhou with all my strength!" Liu Kun stood up with strong energy. He was not from the military. Even though he had practiced martial arts since he was a child, his body was not weak, but he was still not as good as the army. The soldier was already tired, and this moment of rest was not enough, but he knew that he could not stop here, so he gathered his strength and moved with the others.

The group hurriedly cleaned up, messing up the traces, and hit the road again.

This movement, after traveling for about three or four miles, was finally discovered. Immediately, a huge crowd surrounded them, which was another thrilling experience.

Whoosh!
The long arrow shot straight through the head of a soldier.

This man was blocking an arrow for Liu Kun. When he fell, blood spattered on Liu Kun's face. The face of the long-tested old governor couldn't help but change. Looking ahead, he saw that the way forward had been blocked by enemy soldiers. The enemy is slowly approaching!

"No! The Huns guessed our route and sent people to ambush just now. What should we do!" The big man who was also the guide and pioneer exclaimed, at a loss what to do!

"Don't panic!" Liu Kunqiang calmed himself, "How far is this place from Youzhou?"

Hearing this, the guide looked around and said with an ugly expression: "This is already within Youzhou territory!"
