The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 751
Xu An changed his original mind, and now the predicament of Taiping Dao in Mobei has been solved.

And all because of the arrival of this letter.

This letter was delivered from the state of Wei, to be precise, from the Wuhuan tribe in the three counties of Youzhou.

The person who delivered this letter was none other than the current commander of Wuhuan in the three counties, the marquis of Wuhuan Guiyi who was pardoned by Wei Ting——Ta Dun.

Youzhou has eleven counties in total, of which Dai County and Shanggu County are in the hands of the Yellow Turban Army, while Lelang County, Liaodong County, Xuantu County, and Liaodong Dependent States are in the hands of Gongsundu, and the remaining five counties belong to Yu Wei Ting.

Gongsundu accepted the pardon and is now the governor of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty. In fact, the Ming Dynasty has already mastered the six counties of Youzhou.

However, the five prefectures belonging to the State of Wei are all elite lands. The three prefectures of Zhuojun, Guangyang, and Yuyang are densely populated, and the people are strong, and the Han people in Youbeiping and Liaoxi are relatively small. After that, Yuan Shao moved Wuhuan of the Three Counties to this place, and the population of Wuhuan of the Three Counties filled the vacancy here.

Yuan Shao aided the battle between Xianbei in the east of Mobei and Xianbei in the west. In addition to sending a small part of his own cavalry to participate in the battle, he also recruited some cavalry from Wuhuan from the three counties to participate in the battle. At the same time, he supported some obsolete weapons for the eastern Xianbei. This allowed the Eastern Xianbei to gain a short-term advantage in the fight for the throne.

And this advantage was offset after Xu An sent Shanggu Wuhuan tribe and Duliao battalion to participate in the war, which made the situation in Mobei stabilize again.

Qianman and Kuitou are naturally not mediocre people who can be the commanders of the central and eastern Xianbei respectively. They command the army, separate one side, and stand against each other, so they are naturally capable.

External intervention can only intervene for a while, absolutely impossible for a lifetime, and now the situation in Mobei has shown signs of getting out of control.

But this silk letter secretly sent from Wuhuan, the three counties of Youzhou, gave Xu An a chance to regain control of Mobei, so Xu An changed his previous order.

In the hall, apart from Xu An himself, there were only Xu You and Yan Zhong, so Xu An naturally had nothing to hide.

"This letter is stamped with the seals of Qianhu and Zhen Fushi of Yingwei. The information is accurate. It is sealed as Marquis of Guiyi, Wuhuan of the Great Wei Dynasty, and the money is reserved—Tadun."

Xu You raised his head suddenly, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Yan Zhong was originally leaning on the chair, drinking the tea in the cup slowly and methodically, but when he heard Xu An's words, he also froze slightly, and turned his head to look at Xu An, his eyes condensed slightly.

Both of them knew very well what this meant. After all, Xu You was the official of the Zhongshu Mansion, and had always been concerned about the situation in Mobei.

Although Yan Zhong has been recuperating in Taiye Pond and has not been in charge of politics for a while, he occasionally hears a few words, and he has always been very clear about the development of the general trend of the world.

As early as the Yellow Turban Uprising, he had already seen that the world would never be peaceful in the future, and he also knew that Huangfusong's end might not be good, so he persuaded Huangfusong to take the opportunity to claim rebellion, but later Huangfusong did not agree to him.

As expected, the world has gone into turmoil as Yan Zhong expected, and peace has not been regained because of the demise of the Yellow Turban Army.

Taipingdao can go to the near future, Yan Zhong's contribution is indispensable, without Yan Zhong's advice and strategies for Taipingdao, I am afraid that the battle of Kuicheng would be difficult to win.

"Ta Dun said in the silk script that Wuhuan, the three prefectures, chose to join the Han court because they were favored by Liu Yu and respected Liu Yu, but later Gongsun Zan killed Liu Yu, and in order to avenge Liu Yu, they allied with Yuan Shao , and agreed that after the defeat of Gongsun Zan and the unification of Youzhou, Liu Yu's son Liu He would be appointed as the Shepherd of Youzhou. "

"Yuan Xi treats them like domestic slaves. They come and go as soon as they are called, and wantonly beat and scolded them. The Wuhuan tribes of the three counties have long been dissatisfied with them. However, Wei Ting conscripted soldiers year after year, first rushing to help Xianbei in the east, This time in the battle of Qingzhou, nearly [-] troops were mobilized to go south."

"Wuhuan of the Three Commanderies and Wuhuan of Shanggu come from the same lineage. Tadun asked to be merged into our Ming Dynasty as a vassal. He is willing to return to Yihou for our Ming Dynasty. When our army attacks Youzhou, it will be used as an internal response, and the internal and external forces will jointly take over Youzhou."

Yan Zhong put down the teacup in his hand, the situation in Youzhou had been settled a long time ago, and he knew the situation in Youzhou very well.

Now the three prefectures of Wuhuan are scattered in Youbeiping County and Liaoxi County, just south of Xianbei in the east.

If Tadun is really willing to lead the three counties Wuhuan to surrender, then it doesn't matter if the eastern Xianbei defeats the central Xianbei.

Xu An arranged for Lu Bu to go north, no matter how bad it was or how bad the situation was, the central Xianbei could retain about half of its combat power.

The upper hand held by Xianbei in the east will be wiped out because of Wuhuan's participation in the war.

Tadun could lead Wuhuan, the three prefectures, into the hinterland of the eastern Xianbei's rear, causing the eastern Xianbei to lose a large number of people, cattle and sheep, making it difficult to look after each other head to tail.

At this time, Lu Bu can lead the Ming army to attack the eastern Xianbei from west to east, and Shanggu Wuhuan, located in Daijun and Shanggujun, can also attack the eastern Xianbei at the same time.

A three-way attack can directly divide the Eastern Xianbei into three scattered tribes, so the victory or defeat on the Mobei battlefield is no longer important.

Ta Dun's attachment gave Ming Ting more choices.

Since we can get a weaker Xianbei who is better controlled, why risk the backlash and let that disobedient Qianman lead a strong Xianbei?

"How credible is this matter?"

Yan Zhong wasn't impatient. The matter of attachment was not something that could be determined in a single letter. It took a comprehensive consideration of all aspects to determine whether it was true attachment or Wei Ting's strategy.

Xu You also pricked up his ears at this time, looked at Xu An, and waited for Xu An's reply. The question he wanted to ask was the same as that of Yan Zhong.

If Ta Dun really surrendered, then Mobei's predicament would be solved easily, and he could finally have a good night's sleep.

If the Mobei issue is resolved, the Ming Court today will not have any worries.

Monan is stable, the four prefectures have dangers to defend, the three military regions are impenetrable, the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, the army is fine and the generals are brave, the momentum of strengthening Qin has already been achieved.

The probability of unifying the world will increase by another [-]%.

It only takes a few years to hide your strength and bide your time, and Beike can gather tens of thousands of elite cavalry, and countless righteous congregations will sweep the entire Hebei and secluded land.

In the south, you can go down the river, and attack Jingzhou with two routes, and take all the land of Jingchu.

The world can be determined!
"The Eagle Guards of Youzhou have found out that Yuan Xi, as the shepherd of Youzhou, treats Wuhuan of the three counties as if he were a domestic slave. Sometimes there are even incidents of Youzhou soldiers harassing the Wuhuan Department of the three counties."

"From the Battle of Dongjun in the second year of Chuping (191) to the present, in the four years, Yuan Shao recruited soldiers from Wuhuan in the three counties several times, and went south to fight. These are all facts, especially this time. , and recruited more than [-] cavalry to go south, and Wuhuan and the various tribes of the three counties also complained about it, and what Yuan Xi did was to punish all those who complained and were dissatisfied."

Xu An paused, glanced at the silk script on the desk, and added.

"Liu Yu's son, Liu He, is now in the Bohai Kingdom. He is enfeoffed as the Marquis of Le Cheng and has eight hundred households. He is only an idle official and has no real power."

"Ta Dun has another request, that is, he hopes to save Liu He's life as much as possible."

"The Wei army is at a disadvantage in the battle of Qingzhou. Tadun may not be optimistic about Yuan Shao. This silk letter is the determination to make the tribe stronger."

"According to the evaluation of Eagle Wolf Guard, the reliability is above [-]%."

"After Yuan Xi became the shepherd of Youzhou, he has always been the same with Wuhuan's policy in the three counties, and he is relatively contemptuous. Among the Wuhuan tribe of the three counties, there is a spy from the Eagle Wolf Guard who also confirmed this point."

In fact, Xu An has already determined that Ta Dun really wants to belong to him. Taking all the information into consideration, it is only normal for Ta Dun to react like this.

The Wei army was defeated on the battlefield. In four years, only Luoyang was expanded. Other than that, it lost troops and lost an inch. In these four years, Wuhuan, the three counties, suffered losses on the battlefield. Many soldiers.

Moreover, Yuan Shaoke didn't pay any money, it was completely oppressive.

Wuhuan, the three prefectures, was sandwiched between Xianbei and Wei in the east, so they had no choice but to submit to Yuan Shao.

If it is said that this is Wei Guo's strategy, it has been planned for four years, all details have been considered, and it has been completely hidden from the secret agents of the Eagle Wolf Guard. Xu An will never believe that the fake show has really achieved this level.

"For the sake of safety, Lu Bu can be asked to delay the time as much as possible, at least to stabilize the situation in Mobei until next year."

Compared to Xu An who is a little more radical, Yan Zhong is still much more conservative, and his countermeasures should be more cautious.

"The more stable the situation in Mobei is, the better it is for us. After all, our army now occupies the land of the four states, and it is the time of development and growth. It is the Han and Wei countries that are in war, not us."

"I also agree with Yan Gong's opinion."

Xu You thought for a while, and agreed.

"Even if Wuhuan of the three counties sincerely surrenders, but the impact of the famine this time, as well as the previous use of troops in Yizhou, the household department still has some money, but the granary has almost bottomed out. This time, General Lu Bu led the Xiaoqi Battalion, and In the original southern Xiongnu, recruiting volunteers will consume a large amount of food, and our army's food reserves are no longer able to afford large-scale army mobilization."

Yan Zhong considered the overall situation, while Xu You considered logistics and internal affairs. After all, he is now the official of Zhongshufu.

The present Taipingdao is indeed at its poorest time. The powerful families in Yizhou killed a group, but there are still a group that were saved by Xia'an for the sake of stability to stabilize southern Xinjiang.

Although Yizhou has obtained some food reserves, the mountains in Yizhou are high and the roads are far away, and the water is difficult to quench thirst. It is okay to mobilize food from Yizhou to Chang'an, but it is definitely impossible to mobilize military rations from the mountains of Yizhou to Bingzhou , so the loss on the road has been several times more than that.

"The situation in Mobei should be kept as stable as possible. Over the past few years, various parts of the state have built water conservancy projects and reclaimed wasteland. It only takes a year or two to hoard a large amount of food for military use."

"A letter from Dunhuang County some time ago, General Guo Tai has led the army through the Yumen Pass and entered the territory of Shanshan."

"After the commercial roads in the Western Regions are established and the financial situation of our army is eased, it is the right time for our army to send troops. At that time, our army can exchange for the greatest benefit at the smallest cost."

Xu You is the official of the Zhongshu Mansion, although he is not the Minister of the Household Department, but he is still in charge of the finances. Xu You was born in a powerful family. When he was in Jizhou, he was always lavish and didn't care about expenses.

But since he became the official of Zhongshufu, Xu An forced him to become extremely thrifty.

Because it is really necessary to be diligent and frugal, it is really not alarmist that the army marched on the silver pavement.

Seeing that Xu An wanted to fight again, Xu You couldn't sit still.

"Building high walls and accumulating grain widely are the policies established by the Ming Dynasty shortly after the Opening of the Kingdom. At this time, it is not appropriate to resort to swordsmanship. It is not the Mingjun's actions to change the order of the court. Please think twice."

If you are not in charge, you don’t know that money is expensive. Xu An has been fighting north and south, building water conservancy projects, repairing roads, building workshops to build military equipment, and learning workshops, all of which are big spenders.

Although through the confiscation of the family property of the powerful family, as well as the huge amount of money that Dong Zhuo left behind during his lifetime, and a lot of gold, silver and copper mountains, Taipingdao's finances are still a little tight at times.

If it weren't for the fact that Taipingdao still implements the franchise of salt, iron and wine, and there are materials such as cattle and sheep in the southern tribes, and the business has also prospered because of the replacement of work, and various measures have prospered a lot.

The commercial tax collected in the Ming Dynasty is extremely considerable, and I am afraid that such expenses of Taipingdao have already gone bankrupt.

From the founding of the country to the present, due to the impact of the famine, most of the food reserves have been consumed. Although the money has also been consumed, the remaining three states have still collected a lot of business taxes. Now they have finally gained some wealth and must keep it. in case the emergency.

"Now it's really not appropriate to go to war anymore, and you should cultivate with the people. Most of the years of war have exhausted the soldiers and the generals. Now the place is still stable, and the weather is smooth. Minggong may consider letting the soldiers of the armies go back to their hometowns to visit their relatives. It was fine when we were away from home for a long time and were fighting everywhere, but now that we have settled down, I am afraid that the homesickness among the armies is becoming more and more serious."

Yan Zhong also disagreed that there was an accident in Mobei regeneration at this time, and the main thing should be to maintain stability at the moment.

Moreover, the Yellow Turban Army has indeed not rested for too long. In the past ten years, most of them were on the way to fight. Emotions are bound to slowly superimpose.

Although Yan Zhong doesn't manage politics very much, and he doesn't know the specific situation of each army at present, the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army are all mortal bodies and have their own emotions. They are also human beings, and they all feel tired and miss their hometown.

"What Yan Gong said is reasonable, I really forgot..."

Xu An was slightly taken aback. All kinds of heavy affairs had been pressing on him all this time, causing him to ignore many details.

"After so many years and walking for so long, I really should take a good rest..."

　You can skip to Chapter [-]: Taking the wrong path, and Chapter [-]: Wuhuan of the Three Counties, foreshadowing.

　　I feel that I have broken through the bottleneck. It is updated at [-] o'clock these days. With a little manuscript, it should be able to evolve next week.
