Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 678: Preparing to launch a war against the Wuhuan in the three counties

Sima Yi's words made everyone silent.

Especially Ju Shou, his expression was extremely complicated.

If Yuan Shao had not died, Hebei would still belong to Yuan Shao.

Perhaps, Xun Yu’s ending today will be the same as his and Tian Feng’s.

Especially Tian Feng, who had a strong and fierce temper and could not be persuaded.

Fortunately, with God's mercy, a new wise leader replaced Yuan Shao.

Although Hebei is still facing many crises, both internal and external troubles.

Inside, food and grass are not yet abundant, and various forces are still sharpening their knives, waiting to see the new Yecheng government be defeated.

Outside, there are enemies on all sides.

The Wuhuan people from the three counties in the east have been invading continuously in the past two years, trying to use the name of the Yuan family as their leader.

In the northwest, barbarians such as the Xianbei continued to wreak havoc.

In the south, Cao Cao and Sun Quan kept testing the situation.

However, in general, the new lord has a very good vision, is good at distinguishing loyalty from treachery, is good at listening to opinions, and can come up with many profound strategies.

As long as we keep persevering, Hebei's prosperity is inevitable.

Sighing and stopping Sima Yi from continuing to talk about Xun Yu, Ju Su said to Zhang Sui: "My lord, this man is gone."

"Moreover, Xun Yu, as the most capable minister under Cao Cao, is our formidable rival."

"His death is a great blessing for us."

“We can learn from him, but we don’t need to commemorate him or even mourn him.”

"Compared to Xun Yu's death, we should pay more attention to the whereabouts of Cao Cao's 70,000 troops."

"It seems that Cao Cao was broad-minded, and even used Ma Teng, the father of the rebellious Ma Chao, as a general of the rear army and rushed to Chang'an to quell the rebellion."

"In fact, we have to guard against them using this bright line as bait."

"In fact, it was a covert operation."

"Guangling Commandery played a stunning role under Zhang Liao, and Cao Cao launched this Northern Expedition out of fear."

"Now, how can we give up this Northern Expedition so hastily just because of Xun Yu?"

"Just as our most powerful enemy is Cao Cao, we have always been vigilant. We are also Cao Cao's greatest enemy."

"Ma Chao's rebellion is threatening, but compared to us, it is just a minor incident."

"Cao Cao's main focus is definitely still on us."

Everyone nodded.

Zhang Sui pinched his thick beard and asked, "So?"

Chen Deng said, "It's still the same as before. Our overall policy has not changed."

"It is summer now, and it is crucial for us to have a good harvest this year. People need to devote a lot of manpower to the busy farming."

"A big war is not good for us."

"But we have to be on guard."

Ju Shou, Chen Gong and Liu Ye all nodded.

Chen Gong said: "Based on my understanding of Cao, although he is suspicious, he is also very clever."

"It is very likely that he will use Xun Yu's death and the large army's suppression of the rebellion as bait to attract everyone's attention."

"And he deployed a large force to take advantage of the opportunity to attack the area along the Yellow River."

"therefore--"

Chen Gong, Chen Deng, Ju Shou, Liu Ye and Sima Yi looked at each other, and Chen Gong's eyes fell on Ju Shou.

Ju Su hesitated for a while, then said to Zhang Sui: "First, inform Shen Rong to strengthen the defense, do not take it lightly, and always be on guard against enemy attacks."

"Secondly, although we are not preparing for a major war this year, we can gradually transfer the 50,000 new troops trained by General Zhang He from the vicinity of Yijing, starting with the elite troops, to the Yellow River area."

"It is to prevent a surprise attack from Cao Cao's army."

"And prepare for the war next year."

"Once General Zhang He makes a move here, the Wuhuan in the three counties will definitely feel it."

"Their invasion will surely be accelerated."

"My lord, you can pull over the three cavalry units of Xianchen Camp, Flying Bear Army, and Flying Tiger Army."

"First, let the three cavalry units do the final training for the war next year."

"The cavalry of the Wuhuan in the three counties is extremely brave, and Cao Cao has used the princes in Guanzhong to train the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry in recent years. It is said that the number of them exceeds 3,000."

"I believe that fighting the cavalry of the Three Commanderies Wuhuan must have its own reference value." "Secondly, the Three Commanderies Wuhuan have always invaded the border, but they have not caused much harm to our Hebei inland areas."

"Mobilizing three cavalry units to deal with the Wuhuan in the three counties will not cause too much panic among the people."

"Third, the Wuhuan of the Three Commanderies have been fighting with us for the Yuan family's reputation. There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. Now that it is summer and autumn, we must ensure that we can recuperate and the enemy cannot."

"As one side gains, the other loses, and our strength will become stronger."

"Fourth, if we can completely wipe out the enemies in the three Wuhuan counties this time, then we will no longer have the threat from the east, and we will be able to fight Cao Cao with all our might next year."

"Of course, it's difficult."

"But you have to have this thought."

Zhang Sui looked at Ju Shou, Chen Deng, Chen Gong, Liu Ye and Sima Yi, all of whom were looking forward to it. Zhang Sui smiled and said, "Okay, let's arrange it this way."

"By the way, who do you recommend to lead the three cavalry units to Yijing?"

"That's all the cavalry we have in Hebei."

"Ordinary people can't control them."

"Gao Shun, Xu Rong, and Cheng Lian were all great frontier generals in the past, and they were very fierce."

Everyone burst into laughter immediately.

Liu Ye spat and said with a smile: "My lord, if you want to go by yourself, just say it directly. Why beat around the bush?"

"Moreover, we have to withdraw the elite troops of Zhang He's 50,000 new troops from Yijing, which will greatly hinder the new troops from farming. If ordinary people go, General Zhang He may not be willing."

Ju Su sighed and said, "Yes!"

"This time we have drawn elite troops from the new army back to the Yellow River area. It will be difficult to get them to return to Zhang He's Third Army in the future."

"This is a disguised weakening of General Zhang He's military strength."

"Although I have mentioned the significance of the Third Army before, General Zhang He may not be willing to have the fruits of his hard work for more than a year taken away."

"My Lord, it would be better if you go and have a good chat with General Zhang He. Don't let him feel dissatisfied."

Zhang Sui nodded quickly.

He was almost going crazy in Yecheng.

Everyday government affairs.

You have to go to the ground every once in a while.

Although he was born in the countryside before he traveled through time, he had not worked in the fields since he went to college.

He was really unhappy about having to go down to the ground suddenly.

However, as a prince, many things were beyond his control.

He had no way to emulate Emperor Wen of Han in going to the fields.

Now I have the opportunity to leave Yecheng, and with the three cavalrymen.

This kind of opportunity may never come again in this lifetime.

Zhang Sui was somewhat excited.

Suddenly I thought of one person: Zhang Liao.

Zhang Sui said, "I promised Zhang Liao that if he could defend Guangling, I would give him the opportunity to conquer the Wuhuan in the three counties."

"Look-"

Chen Deng continued, "This time Guangling defeated Sun Quan's army of 100,000 with only 6,000 troops. Moreover, Sun Quan also sent a request for marriage. Sun Xiaomei has also arrived in Xiapi and will be here soon."

"Plus, Guangling has already completed the recruitment of 10,000 new soldiers."

"It wouldn't be a big deal if Zhang Liao was transferred here."

"It would be feasible to send a prudent general who is good at training naval forces to replace Zhang Liao, and then transfer Zhang Liao here."

After a pause, Chen Deng continued, "I recommend Lu Su and Chen Jiao."

"Xu Dan, the former deputy commander of Guangling, was promoted to commander."

"Lu Su is the military advisor, and he and Xu Dan each wear half of the tiger talisman."

"Chen Jiao is a military officer and an assistant."

"That should be enough."

"Among them, although Lu Su and Chen Jiao are both young generals, they have experienced several wars with Jiangdong and are smart."

"If the two of them cooperate with Xu Dan and are only responsible for the defense of Guangling now, I think there won't be much of a problem."

Liu Ye hurriedly smiled and said, "I second the proposal! Zi Jing is so talented, as long as the lord gives him a chance, he will definitely not let the lord down!"
