"Hmm." After handing the battle report back to Jia Xu, Lu Bu frowned slightly and said, "This Xianbei man, who is causing a lot of internal strife, actually has the idea to come to our Bingzhou to cause trouble."
Jia Xu was speechless and could only smile bitterly.
Lu Bu was obviously just talking. They had already understood the situation of the Xianbei people, and the civil strife was actually coming to an end. It depends on the outcome of the battle between Kuitou and Qianman, but there are more than just the two forces in Xianbei, and with the current situation
situation, it is obvious that the two of them do not care whether
No one can convince those powerful and ambitious leaders. Bu Dugen is naturally one of them, so it should be said that it is reasonable for some of them to take action. It is just the time chosen.
It's not very beneficial to them.
Lu Bu rubbed his brows and felt a little troubled. This was where Lu Bu and the others failed to think carefully before. They only thought about Wuyuan and Yanmen as the main battlefield facing the desert. They stationed heavy troops for defense and could also defend Yunzhong.
The personnel allocation was naturally tilted towards those two places, but Yun Zhong was greatly negligent.
Or it can't be said that he didn't expect that Jia Xu had planned to remind Lu Bu before that he had always been uneasy about Feng Ji and Wang Cheng's Yunzhong. Of course, these two people were not incompetent. In fact, Lu Bu's subordinates could currently rank among
No one who holds the position of military and political officer of a county is mediocre. In a place like Sili, perhaps the network of human connections can play a big role, even if Dong Zhuo's attack
Attacks cannot uproot the intricate chain of interests. After all, they have a foundation that has lasted for hundreds of years. However, in Bingzhou, especially in the north, these Central Plains rules do not apply. Although there are inevitably powerful people in various places, they cannot fight with the government and the army.
, let alone have the chance to get involved, and can rely on Lu Bu's meritocracy, but putting these two people in one place is obviously a failure.
Failure to deal with the military and political chiefs may be a wonderful tool of checks and balances in the mainland of the Central Plains, but in this frontier area, it will have the opposite effect. Of course, it would not have been a big problem before, but in this place itself, we cannot just think about it.
In normal times, the shortcomings of invasion by foreign enemies have been greatly exposed.
If the military and the government are unified, and orders are issued from above, and the entire county can't be managed, Bu Dugen will not even think about taking any action, because once he takes action, he will be discovered early, such as Wuyuan and Yanmen counties.
, one is completely controlled by Gao Shun, who has a solid iron connection, and the other Ji Zhao has a good relationship with Lu Cui, and is an old man who follows Lu Bu. They have division of labor and cooperation, complementing each other. It is absolutely impossible for Dugen to be so easy in these two situations.
Such progress has been made.
At this time, Bu Dugen may not be very clear about the internal relationship between these three counties. He just saw that Yunzhong's defense force was obviously weaker than the other two counties, so he took advantage of this. But being able to achieve this step in such a short period of time, Yunzhong's military and political affairs
Separation and lack of contact, that is, the inability to respond strongly enough immediately, are a very important reason.
However, in Lu Bu's opinion at this time, if you really think about it, this is just a small trouble.
The battle report may not be detailed, but people in the dark had sent news much earlier, which was more specific and complete, and the number of enemies was also very close.
Although three counties were lost in a few days, and the battle seemed very tragic, the actual losses were not much. The loss of personnel may have shocked Yun Zhong, but in the entire Bingzhou, Yun Zhong's personnel allocation was originally biased.
A small amount is not enough to damage the muscles and bones.
Another very important point is that Yunzhong itself is sparsely populated, and even the entire four northern counties are sparsely populated. After all, the geographical conditions in Mobei are not suitable for the development of the agricultural economy. The loss of these places means that
More importantly, it is in terms of strategic value.
From an overall strategic perspective, Bu Dugen's move seemed like a brilliant move, but it also amounted to him falling into a quagmire.
Wuyuan, Yanmen sandwiched Yunzhong, and Bu Dugen was entrenched here, and he would inevitably be threatened from the left and right, unless he could take down the entire Yunzhong County in a very short period of time, and even Feng Ji and Wang Cheng were still
It is not easy to achieve close unity,
After all, he has only a limited number of men, and he will be trapped here in the end. His defeat is just a matter of time. After all, neither Gao Shun nor Ji Zhao are easy to get along with. Wang Cheng is also a person who is highly regarded by Lu Bu.
A tough guy, there are some that deserve a lot of trouble from him.
So Lu Bu just thought about it for a while and didn't take it to heart anymore.
But it doesn't matter if he doesn't take it to heart. Some people don't take it to heart, but they will soon face disaster.
Bingzhou Yunzhong County, Yunzhong Prefect's Mansion.
Feng Ji, who had already secured his position as prefect, was drinking and having fun alone in the courtyard. After taking a sip of wine, he wrote a few words on the white paper in front of him.
For Feng Ji now, perhaps the biggest benefit of being the prefect is the paper he gets when he gets it, and he can't put it down as soon as he gets it. Now this is something he often does.
After returning to Lu Bu, Fengji had resisted a little at first, then obeyed, and now he has fully adapted to his role and identity. However, some people are wary of danger in times of peace, while others are full of warmth, but Fengji has not yet.
It's so mean, but compared to when he was under Yuan Shao, he is still a little unwilling to accept his current position, especially now that Lu Bu's power is rising, a remote governor is really unable to do anything.
Ambitious people often still need to have some corresponding abilities. Feng Ji is satisfied with the prefect, but it depends on the position. In this Bingzhou cloud, it is really inconspicuous, let alone compared with those in the Central Plains.
Therefore, if he had tried his best in governance at the beginning, he was tired now and was not so attentive to government affairs. Especially since Yunzhong County has a sparse population, he did not need to expend much effort.
But in terms of military affairs, which he didn't really like, he was in a complete mess.
Although except for Wuyuan County, Lu Bu's arrangements for the counties in Bingzhou were actually that the prefect was in charge of the government and the county lieutenants were in charge of the troops. However, after all, the prefect was the chief of the same place and could not be involved in military affairs at all, so it still cannot be justified.
It happened that this Yunzhong County Lieutenant, after several twists and turns, became Wang Cheng, Prince Ang, who was not easy to deal with.
Wang Chengnai was a local snake in Bingzhou and had been struggling for decades, but what Lu Bu valued more was his experience as a righteous ranger in Wuyuan, Yunzhong and Yanmen in his early years. At that time, he also had a lot of contact with the barbarians.
The exchange of experience, especially whether Wang Cheng was a wise general, was extremely important for building a defense line against the Hu people to complement the main force of Gao Shun in Wuyuan.
However, what Lu Bu ignored, or did not think much about, was that the relationship between Wang Cheng and Feng Ji became a problem for them as officials in the same county.
Wang Cheng has always been disliked by Fengji. This is because his behavior in Fengji reveals too many traces of his clan, and he is always self-conscious about his identity and is unwilling to have close friendship with people like them who are of "lower origin". Wang Cheng is not that kind of person.
They fall in love with people who speak clever words. The first few meetings between the two ended up being unhappy, which further worsened their relationship. Now they are no longer in contact with each other.
In the land of a county, in troubled times, and even more so on the frontier, with such tense relations between superiors and subordinates, big problems will inevitably occur. It's just a matter of time, whether they will happen or not.
What a coincidence that they really bumped into each other like this!
Of course, Fengji was still completely unaware of the changes on the sideline at this time, and was still enjoying his leisure time outside of official duties, until the housekeeper outside rushed in in a panic and brought news that finally made him unable to sit still: "
Envoy, envoy Xianbei has invaded. Wuquan, Beiyu, and Yuanyang counties have all been lost. Wang Junwei sent a letter to meet with the envoy!" To be continued.
