The Rebellious Officials and Traitors of the Late Han Dynasty

Chapter 368 Yan Rou
In the big tent, Qin Shou looked at the information in his hand with surprise.

Kebinen and Budugen actually wanted to come and see me. When did the enemy become so bold? I wanted to destroy them, but they actually dared to come to me. Do they want to die?
He looked at Jia Xu, who shook his head and said, "My lord, I'm afraid the two of them don't know what you are thinking. They still think you only want to deal with Wuhuan and Gongsun Kang, and have never thought that your goal is to unify the grassland."

"What should we do now? Call them over and kill them. Six thousand cavalrymen can't cause any trouble." Qin Shou thought about it and a look of joy suddenly appeared on his face.

"My lord, since the other party has come, they must be fully confident and may even come with great fanfare." Pang Tong shook his head.

"So, he can't be killed." Qin Shou immediately understood the interests involved.

It is easy to kill these people, but after killing them, the imperial court’s impression in the hearts of these foreigners will be ruined. No one will believe in the imperial court anymore, and no one will submit to the imperial court anymore.

"The reason these two people can appear at this time is, on the one hand, because they have a grudge against Wuhuan and want to use us to eliminate Wuhuan and then divide the grassland; on the other hand, it is also to spy on our military intelligence." Jia Xu said.

"Hmph, if these two people are not killed, they will become a great threat to the Central Plains in the future." Qin Shou's eyes flashed with murderous intent after hearing this. From the actions of these two people, Qin Shou could see what they were thinking.

He was so bold as to want to use me and the cavalry to eliminate the Wuhuan. This is simply an unforgivable crime.

"My lord, most of the foreign tribes on the grassland are like this. As long as our Central Plains is strong, why should we be afraid of these villains?" Jia Xu sensed the murderous aura from Qin Shou and hurriedly persuaded him.

If killing could solve the problem, Jia Xu also thought that all these people could be killed, but in fact, killing could not solve the problem. Kebi Neng and Budugen came to Youbeiping with great fanfare. At this time, I am afraid that the whole grassland knew about it.

If you kill the other party at this time, not only will you gain no benefit, but you will also be ridiculed by the world.

"Hmph, am I just going to be used like this?" Qin Shou was very annoyed.

"My lord, as long as the Wuhuan are here, the Xianbei will not be able to control the grassland. I think that to deal with the Wuhuan, we just need to defeat them. When we recover our strength, we can annihilate them in one fell swoop." Pang Tong said.

"It's just supporting one and fighting the other. When the Xianbei is strong, we support the Wuhuan. When the Wuhuan is strong, we support the Xianbei. Just like now, aren't we supporting the Xianbei and attacking the Wuhuan?" Jia Xu said indifferently.

This method has been used in all dynasties.

Qin Shou snorted coldly after hearing this.

"Call two men to Youbeiping to see me."

Since it has already become a fact, it is impossible to kill the two people, so he might as well let them come to see him openly and let the Wuhuan people know.

Jia Xu immediately understood the reason and said, "My lord, I would like to recommend someone who may be able to resolve the issues concerning the Xianbei and Wuhuan."

"Oh, who can make the military advisor pay so much attention to him?" Qin Shou was very surprised. You know, Jia Xu seldom recommends people. The fact that the person in front of him can be recommended by Jia Xu can only mean that this person is really talented.

"My lord, this man is Yan Rou, with the courtesy name Jianzhi. He is from Youzhou and has served Liu Yu and Yuan Shao and fought against Gongsun Zan. He is very familiar with the grassland, and the situations of Wuhuan and Xianbei are under his control." Jia Xu introduced.

"Yan Rou?" Qin Shou suddenly recalled this person in his mind. Although he didn't know much about him, people who could leave their names in history were definitely not simple. Moreover, he was recommended by Jia Xu, so he must be quite good.

"Where is this person now? I want to meet him." Qin Shou immediately decided to meet Yan Rou to see if he was a talented person.

"Yes." Jia Xu did not dare to delay and quickly sent someone to pick up Yan Rou.

It was already the afternoon of the third day when Qin Shou met Yan Rou. The other party had a lot of experience, but he was actually not very old, only in his thirties. "Yan Rou of Youzhou pays homage to the Prime Minister."

Yan Rou's face looked weathered, but her eyes were as sharp as torches and she was full of energy, without the slightest fear in her heart, which made Qin Shou nod secretly.

"Jianzhi, please stand up and sit down."

Qin Shou pointed to a soft mat on one side and said, "I have heard of Jian's name for a long time and wished I could meet him earlier. Now that I have met him, I am very happy."

"I have heard of the Prime Minister's name for a long time, but I have been in the north and have never had the chance to meet him. I am very sorry. Today, the Prime Minister summoned me. I have to travel day and night and dare not bring anything with me."

Yan Rou said quickly.

"This is a letter sent by Kebinen and Budugen. The two learned that I was going to conquer the Wuhuan, so they each led three thousand cavalry to help. I heard that Jianzhi is in Youzhou, and he must know the strengths and weaknesses of the two. Therefore, I would like to invite you to come and have a chat. I hope Jianzhi will give me some advice." Qin Shou said, pointing to the letter.

After Yan Rou read the letter, he said, "Prime Minister, the biggest purpose of this letter is to test the waters. On the one hand, the two want to use your help to destroy the Wuhuan and eliminate their enemies. On the other hand, it is to spy on the Central Plains."

"How to deal with it?" Qin Shou nodded. He also understood the reason.

"Prime Minister, I think we can pretend we don't know and use powerful military forces to destroy the Wuhuan, intimidate the foreign races on the grassland, and then divide and govern them, either for attack or to win over, so that the Xianbei, Wuhuan and even other foreign races can reach a balance. Only a chaotic grassland is the grassland we need. There can be no peace on the grassland."

Yan Rou said quickly.

"Is Jianzhi familiar with the grassland?" Qin Shou asked again.

"I dare not deceive the Prime Minister. I was once captured by the Xianbei and Wuhuan people. I returned to Youzhou through my own efforts. When I followed Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou, I came into contact with foreign tribes on the grassland, whether it was Kebi Neng, Suli, or even Budugen. I have come into contact with them all." Yan Rou said quickly.

"Sir, you will temporarily be the commander of the Wuhuan Guards, and in a year you will be the General of Du Liao. If you can manage the grasslands properly, you can be promoted to the General of Zhengbei and become a marquis. What do you think?" Qin Shou made the decision immediately.

The person in front of him was so familiar with the grassland that he was both civil and military. Just by the fact that he could fight his way back to Youzhou from the grassland alone, he was extremely impressive. Qin Shou felt relieved to have such a person in charge of the north.

"I thank you, my lord."

Yan Rou did not expect that Qin Shou would trust her so much.

"You can form the Whirlwind and Gale camps, serve as generals, and guard Youzhou."

Qin Shou gave another order.

"I will definitely live up to the trust of my lord and stabilize the grassland."

After hearing this, Yan Rou immediately fell to the ground.

He knew that, except for the Huben Battalion, the other generals each commanded one battalion of troops, but he commanded two battalions, which showed how much they valued him.
