Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 361 The World Situation 2
Regarding the situation in the Central Plains, Gongsun Xu also feels that his head is too big after he understands it. Just the things on the Hetao and the grasslands are enough to worry Gongsun Xu, otherwise he would not have brought the two major military divisions around him from the beginning Come out, if it weren't for the incident in Jizhou, even Guo Jia should be handling government affairs in Hetao now.

The situation in the world is unpredictable, and Gongsun Xu feels that his strength and ability can only deal with matters in the northern border and the grassland for the time being.Gongsun Xu doesn't want to intervene in the affairs of the southern part of the Han Dynasty, the key is that he himself does not have enough ability to intervene.

Otherwise, he would definitely find a way to intervene in Liu Biao and Sun Jian's affairs.For the time being, Gongsun Xu can only do this. For Gongsun Xu, the most important thing at present is to deal with the affairs of the Hetao and the grasslands, and after that, he has to arrange the migration of the refugees.

Excluding the refugees stranded in Beijiang and Wuyuan, Gongsun Xu still has to find a way to solve the problem of the refugees from Heishan. The number of soldiers of the Heishan Army officially incorporated into the Northern Xinjiang Army has now reached 10,000+. If the refugees from Heishan cannot be resettled , I am afraid that most of these Montenegro soldiers will cause trouble.

In order to completely solve the hidden dangers in northern Xinjiang, Gongsun Xu must now spend a lot of energy focusing on the migration of refugees. Moreover, there are many hidden dangers on the grassland. Gongsun Xu also had to send a large number of cavalry to guard against threats from the deep grassland. The power should not be underestimated, they may bite back at any time.

After Xia Houlan led the cavalry to go south, the Great Wall's defense line appeared empty. Gongsun Xu also realized the danger of this matter. There may be no problems on the Great Wall in a short time, but after a long time, coupled with the migration of refugees in the future Refugees had to pass through the Great Wall during the period, so the safety of the Great Wall was very important.

Before the Northern Expedition, Gongsun Xu once recruited 8 recruits from among the refugees. After the Northern Expedition, the [-] recruits now have the posture of elite soldiers. Except for the dead and disabled, there are only recruits left. More than [-] people.

In this series of battles, Wei Yan, Meng Fu and many other recruits stood out one after another. These generals will become the pillars of the army in the future, and Gongsun Xu also paid enough attention to them.

Since Meng Fu's soldiers were good at fighting on the plains and fighting against cavalry, and Meng Fu's military talent was appreciated by Gao Shun and others, Gongsun Xu finally decided to transfer Meng Fu's troops back to the Great Wall to deploy defenses. The border is about to start the migration of refugees. Only when the refugees gradually migrate into the Hetao, Gongsun Xu's rule here will be stabilized.

While Gongsun Xu was busy working on the grassland, Jizhou had ushered in a great change.

In recent years, Gongsun Xu and his son have been guarding the frontier fortress in northern Xinjiang, blocking the attacks of foreign races in the grassland, and guarding the great rivers and mountains in the northern border of the Han Dynasty. However, no matter how hard Gongsun Xu and his son work hard, their reputation is only in the northern border. This piece of reciting is very powerful, but when it comes to Jizhou, it starts to look a little weak.

Yuan Shao started as a prefect, and now he is considered to have a small fortune. With the help of the reputation of four generations and three princes, Yuan Shao has gathered a large number of civil servants and generals around him, and Yuan Shao is also very shrewd in his work.

When Huimeng was attacking Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao had seen Dong Zhuo's strength and Gongsun's father and son's difficulty. From then on, he knew that his own strength was still not enough, especially when he suffered losses in the battles with the Xiliang Army. Since then, Yuan Shao has already started to think of ways to enhance his own strength.

As for his team members, Yuan Shao was unwilling to disclose to outsiders, even if it was Gongsun Xu's spies, the information he could find out now was nothing more than a simple sentence about Yuan Shao.

Poor Han Fu, Jizhou Shepherd, originally occupied the most affluent territory of the Northern Xinjiang Army, and he also has a group of elite soldiers under his command. Even if he can't expand his territory and strength, he should stick to his old territory. Not much of a problem.

Han Fu is a literati, so he also prefers a group of advisers around him in major matters.Coupled with the fact that Yuan Shao has already bought most of his subordinates by a series of means, generally speaking, Han Fu is really confused now.

Guo Tu has now become the most active adviser under Han Fu's command. He has been working hard for Yuan Shao. The funniest thing is that Han Fu is now being sold and counting the money for others.

At this time, in Han Fu's residence, Guo Tu was waiting anxiously with a piece of information. The spies had already inquired about the situation of the Northern Xinjiang Army. It was already known that Gongsun Xu ordered so many cattle, sheep and horses to be sent back to Bingzhou. There was an uproar in the clothes, and Yuan Shao also guessed that Gongsun Xu was about to settle the matter in the north, so he had to order Guo Tu to move faster.

Guo Tu is also taking the time to persuade Han Fu these days. Han Fu really has no idea. The overall situation in Jizhou is basically controlled by Guo Tu. All these news in Jizhou have been inquired by Guo Jia. Jia also realized the criticality of the situation, if not, he would not have come to Jizhou in person.

What Guo Tu held in his hand was the information that Guo Jia was coming. He also realized that this was a signal from Gongsun Xu of Northern Xinjiang to attack Jizhou. The last time Gongsun Xu sent troops to Zhongshan and Changshan was just a test , because at that time Gongsun Xu didn't have that much energy, but now, the situation has changed.

Guo Tu is also very anxious now, the situation in Jizhou is basically under his control, as long as he is given another month, he can persuade Han Fu to welcome Yuan Shao into Jizhou, but one month is too long, Guo Tu has already waited It's too late.

If it was someone else, maybe they would not be so frightened by Guo Jia's arrival, but Guo Tu is different, he knows Guo Jia's talent, maybe Guo Jia's reputation in northern Xinjiang is really not very loud, and people who know him will not be too scared. Many, but as the patriarch of the Guo family, how could Guo Tu not understand this offshoot of the Guo family?

Now, Guo Tu feels that the way to solve the current predicament is to find a way to make the Northern Xinjiang Army fight against Jizhou. It is best to make the Northern Xinjiang Army hate Han Fu, so that Han Fu has nowhere to go and can only turn to Yuan Shao .

Not long after, Han Fu finally came out slowly. He saw Guo Tu waiting, so he said with a smile: "Gongze, why do you have time to come to me now? I handle all the government affairs in Jizhou. Here it is, you can't be lazy."

"My lord, I'm really busy with government affairs these days, but I received a piece of news. I think it's a bad signal, so I took time out of my busy schedule to report to my lord." Guo Tu said cautiously. replied.

Han Fu could also hear the anxiety in his tone, so he asked: "What's the matter, could it be that something major has happened, is there something you can't handle well? Could it be that the leader is dissatisfied with me now? ?"

For Yuan Shao, Han Fu still respectfully calls him the leader of the alliance. No matter what, Han Fu is a child cultivated by the Yuan family. He always remembers this kindness, so he also gives enough courtesy to Yuan Shao.

"The lord is benevolent, so naturally he won't be dissatisfied with the lord." Guo Tu replied: "However, lord, the one in the north seems to be a little restless. He is probably thinking of digging some land from Jizhou. No, he hasn't settled the matter on the grassland, and now he's sending troops to ask us for the city."

"Oh? Is this true? Are you talking about the general?" Han Fu asked doubtfully, "Probably not. I have gotten along well with the general these years. You are talking about Zhongshan and Changshan." That's okay, it's adjacent to Youzhou, and the Black Mountain Army has severely damaged it, so the Northern Border Army is only stationed there temporarily."

"Oh, my lord, you are so confused." Guo Tu said anxiously: "There is a way to know people, face, but not heart. If he, Gongsun Xu, really has nothing wrong with me in Jizhou, why is he still occupying Zhongshan and Changshan now? If he doesn’t return it to us, he just wants to use Zhongshan and Changshan as a springboard to further encroach on my territory in Jizhou, for the sake of the people of Jizhou, please think again, my lord.”

"Just tell me what happened." Han Fu waved his hand and said, "If the general does something unjustifiable, I will ask him for an explanation. Well, I respect the general and the guard Border customs for many years, but this does not mean that they can do whatever they want.

I don’t think I have anything to do to the General. When I first conquered Xianbei in the east, and now I am in the northern expedition to Hetao, I have never made a big effort. If the general really does not miss the old love, I will not let it go even if I risk my life. He had a better time. "

"The spies from the front line came to report that Guan Yu, the general of northern Xinjiang, is about to lead his troops south to attack Jizhou. Now Guan Yu has sent the forward general Gan Ning to lead the troops, and the military advisor Guo Jia is with the army. In addition, there are tens of thousands of cavalry on the grassland. Guan Yu, my lord, Jizhou is in danger." Guo Tu knelt on the ground and cried.

"What, this, this is what to do." Han Fu jumped up in fright and said, "I, Han Fu, think that I have nothing to do with the General, and I didn't say much even when he sent troops to garrison Zhongshan and Changshan. , Is this what I got in exchange for my concessions? How could the general be so unrighteous."

"My lord, now is not the time to be angry. We should take countermeasures. For the present plan, we should send troops to stop his vanguard, and then send people to negotiate with Gongsun Xu." Guo Tu concealed To the joy in my heart, Han Fu is indeed not an assertive person, and he can't figure out the situation after being so confused by himself.

Han Fu is now in a state of desperation, and if the Northern Frontier Army really goes south in a big way, he really doesn't know what to use to resist it.If Han Fu's mind is flexible enough now, Te should have thought of the flaws in it. Why did Gongsun Xu go south? Is the northern grassland so easy to settle?Also, doesn't Gongsun Xu have to worry about those people in the court?Taking ten thousand steps back, even if Gongsun Xu went south, he would be born without a name.

After thinking about it, Han Fu had no choice but to say: "Forget it, Gongze, I will leave this matter to you. You must not let the northern border army invade. Otherwise, if there is a war, the people will suffer and people will suffer."

"The minister must complete the task." Guo Tu lowered his head and replied, Han Fu didn't notice the sneer on the corner of Guo Tu's mouth, he was still fooled by Guo Tu after all.
