Chapter 53 The Huns Invade
Three days later, Han Wu once again summoned his generals in the state pastoral mansion, and this time the matter was more serious.

"Everyone, the Southern Huns invaded Bingzhou. General Yuwen has sent scouts to send a message. I hope I can lead troops to support."

"King Zuoxian's army has a full [-] cavalry. It can be said that this time the Southern Huns are out in full force."

"Three of the Four Great Kings of the Southern Huns led troops to attack Bingzhou. This is not a small matter. I think someone must have deliberately done it."

Han Wu frowned, he glanced at Guo Jia, he must be able to guess why the Southern Huns aggressively attacked Bingzhou.

The original Huns were the largest ethnic minority in the north, but because they were split into two parts, the strength of the Huns declined.

Karasuma, Xianbei, and Xiongnu are nomadic clans entrenched in the northern part of Bingzhou, Jizhou, and Youzhou, and they are very powerful.

Although the Qiang people are also considered a minority, their rebellion in the past few years was suppressed, so they have not yet recovered.

After Guo Jia heard what the lord said, he smiled slightly and said: "My lord, don't be too impatient. The Southern Huns are just clowns."

"Although the Southern Huns have strong troops, they are not good at attacking cities and can only fight in the field. If they grasp this weakness, they will retreat."

"However, the lord should be careful about Ma Teng and Han Sui from Xiliang. They have surrendered the forces of Li Jue and Guo Si. Now is the time of their heyday."

Guo Jia pursed his lips. He thought it was definitely not a coincidence that the Southern Huns raised their troops to attack Bingzhou.

Although the Xiongnu would plunder the people of Bingzhou, it was because there were no generals guarding the northern part of Bingzhou, making the enemy feel like they were in a land of no one.

Now that Yuwen Chengdu, a strong general, and Chen Qingzhi, who is like a soldier like a god, are guarding Bingzhou, the Huns should not act rashly.

The only possibility is that they have something to rely on, and the only people who can reach a consensus with them are Ma Teng and Han Sui.

"My lord, Han Sui was expelled from Bingzhou. He will definitely not swallow this breath. Presumably what happened this time was his scheme."

Ju Shou has been silent all this time, and now he just said something lightly.

Han Wu could also guess that what happened this time was the trick of Han Sui and Ma Teng. They couldn't beat Yuwen Chengdu, so they used this method.

Both Ma Teng and Han Sui had more or less relationships with foreign races, so it was not difficult to recruit the Southern Huns.

As long as there is enough remuneration, the Southern Huns will never refuse to send troops, and they also want to develop themselves.

Han Wu sighed: "The current Jizhou could have recuperated, but unexpectedly there will be a big battle."

"Since this is the case, then Jizhou can only send troops. Although General Yuwen is strong enough to guard Bingzhou, Ma Teng's side is not easy to deal with."

"If they take the opportunity to attack Bingzhou, I'm afraid it will be really troublesome."

After hearing what the lord said, Guo Jia smiled lightly, he already had a plan.

To deal with the barbarians, what is needed is not to fight against them with one's own ability, maybe another way would be better.

Guo Jia glanced at the lord confidently, and said, "My lord, if the lord is willing to use part of the grain to invite reinforcements, I think it would be better."

"There are two big tribes in Xianbei in Bingzhou. Ke Bineng and Budugen are not weak. They may be able to help the Lord."

"But the lord must invite only one person. After all, Ke Bineng and Budugen don't have a good relationship. If you invite two tribes to help at the same time, I'm afraid there will be civil strife."

Guo Jia suggested something to Han Wu, but Han Wu frowned. He personally didn't want to win over the barbarians.

After all, these northern nomads are foreigners, and Xianbei also harassed Jizhou and Bingzhou.

From this point alone, Han Wu disliked these Xianbei people very much, and at the same time he didn't want them to help.

What's more, this kind of help still needs to be paid. Although Jizhou is rich enough, Han Wu doesn't want to have such expenses.

Seeing that the lord hesitated, Ju Shou quickly added fire: "My lord, what Feng Xiao said is very true. It is better not to mobilize troops on a large scale in Jizhou now."

"Although the Xiongnu and Xianbei are both barbarians, it is a good thing to let them fight each other."

"And in this way, General Yuwen can spare his troops to defend Ma Teng and Han Sui, killing two birds with one stone."

There is nothing wrong with using the Xianbei to resist the Huns' army, and their combat effectiveness is also sufficient.

But it is not easy to recruit the Xianbei people who have reached [-] elite soldiers.

After Han Wu hesitated for half a minute, he said slowly, "Okay, then do as Feng Xiao said."

"But...among Ke Bineng and Bu Dugen, I choose Ke Bineng! Bu Dugen is a double-faced man."

"Although Ke Bineng's troops are smaller than Budugen's, they are all elite. If this person can be used by me in the end, it would be great."

Han Wu squinted his eyes and nodded lightly. He read some past criminal records a few days ago and had a preliminary understanding of Ke Bineng.

Although this person also went to Bingzhou and Jizhou to plunder, there were few casualties wherever he went.

In other words, this person is not bloodthirsty, and has a very good reputation among his Xianbei clan, and has a reputation of not being greedy for money.

Geng Wu and Dian Wei have not spoken all the time, they are just generals, and never expressed their opinion on this matter.

Dian Wei was in charge of guarding Han Wu and Zhou Quan of Yecheng, and so was Geng Wu, who was in charge of protecting the State Shepherd's Mansion.

These two are diehards, as long as the lord asks him to fight, they will definitely not refuse, but they will not take the initiative to ask for such a large-scale battle.

"Send the order, prepare the documents, and send a messenger to Jiuyuan County. The matter of contacting Ke Bineng will be handed over to Mr. Bing Yuan, and let him handle the matter."

Han Wu took a look at Jushou, and Jushou immediately took the order, and he was naturally responsible for drafting the documents.

In the end, at most, Han Fu's consent was obtained to stamp an official seal, which was generally not rejected by Han Fu.

In terms of military affairs, Han Fu stopped interfering at all, because he had completely realized that he was not as good as his son in this respect.

Han Wu nodded lightly: "This matter will be handled in this way, and the rest of the generals will still perform their duties and train recruits."

"After the autumn harvest, I will attack Montenegro. Give Montenegro Zhang Yan some time to think about it. The autumn harvest is their deadline."

Han Wu waved his hand and asked all the generals to go down. This time there was no need to send troops to merge the state, and they didn't need to prepare in advance.

In Yanzhou Governor's Department, Cao Cao sat in the lobby and frowned. He calmly looked at the map of the north.

"Wen Ruo, now that we have controlled the Sili area, and we have enough soldiers and food, where do you think our next target should be?"

Cao Cao looked at the map, he actually already had his own plans, he just wanted to see Xun Yu's opinion.

Xun Yu is better at internal affairs, but he is more proficient in military strategy.

Xun Yu hesitated for a few seconds, and said, "My lord has two directions for development, one is to win Wancheng in Jingzhou."

"Wan City is occupied by Zhang Xiu, Liu Biao's military strength is weak, and Jingzhou is very large, so it is difficult for him to drive Zhang Xiu away."

"If the lord wins Zhang Xiu, it will not only improve his strength, but also open up a path for going south in the future."

After hearing Xun Yu's words, Cao Cao nodded. His plan was to attack Wancheng.

However, Cao Cao was still very curious about the second strategy Xun Yu mentioned, so he asked, "Then, what is the second direction of development?"

Xun Yu replaced the map with a map of the Sili area, and said, "My lord, the second direction is the internal affairs and the development of Luoyang."

"Luoyang is after all the place where the Emperor Star is located. It was burned by Dong Thief before. If the Lord can rebuild it, it must be a great achievement!"

Cao Cao nodded lightly, but he still hesitated: "Rebuilding Luoyang requires too much manpower, and I don't have so much manpower and material resources now."

Sighing, Cao Cao naturally wanted to rebuild Luoyang, but his resources were not sufficient.

But Xun Yu smiled slightly: "My lord doesn't care about this. As long as there is an imperial decree, the princes will donate money. Even if they are unwilling, they will more or less pretend."

"Especially in Jizhou, they are the closest to the Sili area. Han Fu is loyal to the imperial court and will definitely donate money to rebuild Luoyang."

"Besides, Han Fu is a man with no big plans. As long as the lord wants an imperial decree, he will definitely send money."

After hearing Xun Yu's words, Cao Cao laughed loudly: "Hahaha! Wen Ruo didn't think carefully. He Han Fu is really a rich man, but his son is not simple!"

"That boy Han Wu, don't look at him when he was in the alliance of princes, he looked like a little milk dog, but this guy is a greedy wolf in his heart!"

"If you ask who is the hero in the world, I, Cao Cao, only obey two people, that is Jiangdong Sun Jian, and him Han Wu."

Cao Cao's eyes suddenly looked as sharp as a goshawk's. Normally, when he showed such eyes, it meant that he was very serious.

Liu Bei didn't play his role at all when he was attacking Dong Zhuo, so he didn't come into Cao Cao's eyes.

Xun Yu knew something about Han Wu, but that was a long time ago when Han Wu was a child.

Xun Yu had served some positions under Han Fu before, but he was not reused, and finally returned to Yingchuan.

At that time, Han Wu was still young, and he was not the reincarnated Han Wu, so Xun Yu naturally didn't know much about Han Wu.

Seeing that Xun Yu didn't know Han Wu well, Cao Cao said indifferently, "Han Fu's son, Tiger Wolf! Given time, he will definitely make trouble."

Frowning, Cao Cao had a very high opinion of Han Wu. This child who has not yet had a weak crown has already attracted Cao Cao's attention.

Heroes, regardless of age, Cao Cao has never cared about a person's age, to evaluate a person.

Xun Yu nodded slightly. He was shocked when he saw that the lord had such a high opinion of Han Wu.

"The development of Luoyang does not require power, and the key point is to win Wancheng. However, let the emperor draft an imperial decree, and let the princes send money to build Luoyang."

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and said something to Xun Yu, and he suddenly thought of this good idea.

It is indeed a conspiracy to use the money sent by other princes as luggage to attack Wancheng.

Yangmou, even if someone sees it, they can't decipher it, because the emperor is in the hands of Cao Cao, so he will naturally be what he says.

This is the benefit of controlling the emperor. Although Cao Cao is currently restricted in many behaviors, he occupies an orthodox position of speech.
