What Huangfu Changqing said made Qin Shaofu stunned, and then asked: "How could this happen?"

The Dongyi and the Tang family in Liaodong have been fighting, which is well known to everyone, but for many years they have only attacked each other and have never really occupied the other's territory, nor have they directly raised the banner of full war.

As for the Yong Kingdom and the Qin family, it was similar. Small-scale battles never stopped, but let alone the full war, even the degree of Dongyi and Liaodong was far inferior.

Now that the Dongyi is attacking a large-scale attack, Yongguo stations troops on the border, this practice is a bit strange.

Huangfu Changqing frowned: "It's strange, come and take a look."

The map had been set up on the shelf on the side. Huangfu Changqing pointed to the map and said: "Except for the southwest Shu area, the southeast Heng Kingdom, the northwest Yong Kingdom and the northeast Dongyi have already reached an offensive and defensive alliance."

Qin Shaofu nodded: "I know this, is there any movement in Hengguo?"

"It should be, but the information has not arrived yet."

Huangfu Changqing frowned, and his eyes were full of doubt: "There is no doubt that the Three Kingdoms want to join forces to encircle and suppress our Great Han Dynasty. But judging from the current situation, it is unreasonable."

"Look!" Huangfu Changqing pointed to the Northeast: "There has been a fight here."

Pointing to the northwest again: "It's just a threat to garrison troops, and there is no war. And the southeast must be the same, otherwise it would have been passed over. Have you ever seen such an offensive and defensive alliance? One side has a bloody battle, and two sides have watched the show... People in Dongyi cannot be stupid enough to suffer such a loss."

I had never thought about this place before, but when I was reminded by Huangfu Changqing, Qin Shaofu also found it intriguing.

"What's even more strange is that you should take action at this time..." Huangfu Changqing shook his head and said, "It's less than half a month left to be the New Year, and the timing is very bad."

It's really bad... Qin Shaofu also thinks so. With Luo Dazhuang's efforts, he has also learned a lot of things to lead troops.

Just talk about these recent times. If you really want to send troops, the best time is the New Year's Day. You may be able to relax while the other party's holidays and attack them inadvertently.

The second is after the New Year, which is a normal attack. The worst thing is before the New Year. Once the target cannot be captured within these ten days, the festival will inevitably lead to the soldiers' homesickness.

Behind the guards of the city is their own relatives. If they unite and attack the city, the morale will inevitably decline, and they will be in a dilemma. Even myself and Huangfu Changqing can think of such things that those veterans who have been through the battlefield for a long time cannot be unaware of.

Especially... Dongyi cannot conquer Liaodong in more than ten days.

Looking at the map, looking at the direction of his own team, he frowned: "Do you think their move is because of us?"

Huangfu Changqing nodded: "That's what I think, so I called you over. After all, you are more familiar with Northland than us."

Pointing to the north of the map, he said: "In the past, nomadic peoples would harass the border and plunder material every two or three years, but it has not appeared in recent five or six years."

Qin Shaofu corrected: "To be precise, it's six and a half years!"

He knew better at Tongling Pass than Huangfu Changqing. The last appearance of the nomadic people was half a year after his mother's death. He followed Luo Dazhuang up the city wall and killed people with a spear.

"If, in these six and a half years, the nomadic peoples were gathering their strength and only launched an attack until this time, and the purpose would be so simple if it was not a very robbery..."

Huangfu Changqing pointed to the map: "In the past, they had about 60,000 troops. If it was 100,000, or even 150,000, this time it was 100,000, or even 150,000."

It must be said that this fourth prince is by no means a playboy and knows a lot about the situation in the north.

Qin Shaofu also moved for a moment and stepped forward and said, "Leave 60,000 to 80,000 troops to entangle the border, and the remaining 50,000 to 60,000 troops crossed the defense line and headed south."

"That's right!" Huangfu Changqing nodded: "How long does it take to get from Tongling Pass to the southern part of the Jibei Plain?"

"See when!" Qin Shaofu said: "In summer and autumn, lightly ride fast horses and go all the way, about twenty days. In winter and spring, it will take one and a half months."

Huangfu Changqing was stunned: "Why?"

Qin Shaofu smiled and said, "Unlike other places, the Jibei Plain is in winter flood. You have also noticed that it rained more than half a day every day in the past two days, and the frozen soil melted, which will become muddy and not suitable for rushing. You see, we have been traveling for nearly a month and have walked 70%, but we have to walk for about so long for the remaining 30% of the road."

"If this is the case, it would be strange!"

Huangfu Changqing frowned and looked at the map and said, "I still wondered if this team of people traveled south for more than twenty days, they could rob Jibei, attack the hinterland of the north, and even threaten the capital."

"Under normal circumstances, this team will die if they come in, because Liaodong and northwest can quickly send troops to encircle them and easily wipe them out. But now, both of them are restrained, so you can show your strength."

"But if it takes one and a half months to go south, it will be impossible. Such a long time is enough for the Ministry of War to respond, dispatch the troops from the Xuanwu God General's family to help, and even ask Fu Longpo's Daxia Long Bird to send troops..."

Qin Shaofu was stunned: "Daxia Dragon Bird cares about this?"

"It depends on your mood!" Huangfu Changqing smiled: "This army is indeed not in line with the rule of the empire, but it is indeed great. However, over the years, it has changed a lot. At first, it was to protect the human race, but later it did not use force against the descendants of Yan and Huang, but now it does not take the initiative to send troops."

"If the northern nomadic peoples are not descendants of Yan and Huang, and have violated the territory of the Great Han Dynasty and threatened the people, it is still possible to take action."

Qin Shaofu couldn't help but shook his head and smiled: "Changes are changed again and again, subtle. Although there are external factors, it seems that one day this team suddenly announced that they would compete for the world to be prosperous!"

"That's true! So it's hard to be the emperor of the Great Han Dynasty!" Huangfu Changqing smiled and said, "After all, our God General family used to have a similar identity, loyal to the Yellow Emperor and guard the human race. Isn't there a Great Han Dynasty now?"

Qin Shaofu originally wanted to make a joke, but he didn't expect that the other party was not shy about it. He was slightly surprised and then smiled and said, "Do you decide what to do next?"

Huangfu Changqing looked at the map: "Maybe I was worried too much. If it took so long, the nomadic peoples at most robbed the Jibei Plain. And if they had prepared for it, there would not be much receipt. Then the gains would not be worth the cost, and they would not be so stupid."

"That's right!" Qin Shaofu nodded: "So they usually choose summer and autumn when they go south."

Huangfu Changqing nodded: "No matter what, we will never look back, otherwise the old royal family would not know what they would think, and the world would say that our Huangfu family was mean to the Si family... In short, even if it is truly powerful, it would be difficult to block this long mouth!"

Qin Shaofu laughed: "I don't want to look back either, I have to apologize to others when I go back!"

He asked again: "Is there any map left? Give me a picture. I haven't looked at the map of the north carefully yet, so I can study it carefully."

Huangfu Changqing unraveled the map and handed it to him: "You take this picture away, Yao Qiang has a few more."

"Thank you!"

Qin Shaofu took the map, said goodbye and made a good debt.
