Chen Gong walked and thought about Yuan Shao's possible reactions and made sufficient plans.
If Zang Hong escapes, half of his mission is accomplished.
The remaining half is how to get out.
As for whether he could persuade Yuan Shao to stop his troops, he had no hope at all. It could even be said that the emperor had no hope either.
Otherwise, Yuan Shao would not be directly called the Bohai Prefect in the edict.
If Yuan Shao wanted to kill him, of course he couldn't show weakness and had to die bravely. Yuan Shao's momentum was weak, so he just went down the road and changed his position from the Ming Dynasty to the leader of the alliance.
As for explaining the situation in the northwest to Yuan Shao, this was also planned. It was not just to save his life, but also a tacit understanding.
This tacit understanding does not belong to him alone, but to the entire Kanto people, including some non-Kanto people.
For example, veterans like Shi Sunrui and Zhao Wen.
The emperor established a capital in Anyi, but stayed in Meiji instead of returning, favored Bingliangwu people, and intentionally or unintentionally excluded the Guandong gentry, which made many people worried.
If the imperial court is no longer a court of nobles, then even if the Han Dynasty is resurrected, what is the point?
The big men under Huan Ling were not the big men they wanted.
This is something no one will say out loud, but they will think in their hearts.
Yuan Shao hosted a banquet for Chen Gong, with Wang Ling Jie Feng, Ju Shou, Tian Feng, Shen Pei, Feng Ji and others accompanying him.
Tian Feng and others did not know that Jushu and Chen Gong had jointly staged a play to deceive Yuan Shao. They only knew that Zang Hong abandoned the city and Dongwuyang returned to Yuan Shao's rule. They no longer had to waste manpower and material resources to attack the city. Everyone was happy.
They also showed great interest in Chen Gong.
Chen Gong and Zhang Miao joined forces to invite Lu Bu to Yanzhou, which was an interference to Yuan Shao's plan. But from another perspective, they did not hate Chen Gong.
Firstly, the reason why Chen Gong turned against Cao Cao was because Cao Cao was unpopular by killing famous people and making concessions; secondly, now that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were at odds, they were about to cross the river to take Yanzhou. Chen Gong opposed Cao Cao, so naturally he could become Yuan Shao's guest to show the popular support of Yanzhou.
In Yuan.
At the banquet, everyone exchanged glasses and enjoyed themselves happily.
It's just that both parties intentionally or unintentionally ignored Chen Gong's identity as an envoy.
Chen Gong introduced to Yuan Shao what he had learned during his trip to the northwest.
Although he did not go on an expedition with the emperor, he was close to Lu Bu and heard a lot of valuable news.
First of all, the emperor did have only three thousand cavalry when he set out from Hedong, but when he fought against the Xianbei and the Huns, it was not three thousand. In addition to the one thousand elite cavalry from the Hun royal court, there were also horses coming from Liangzhou
Teng and Han Sui had a total force of nearly 40,000.
Secondly, except for the Battle of Shaling Lake where the right tribe of the Xiongnu was killed, most of the elite cavalry led by the emperor were used to lure the enemy. The real task of defeating the opponent was completed by Ma Teng's troops.
As for the last battle outside Shuofang City, Fulahan tribe was a remnant of the defeated generals who had gathered together after the defeat. They seemed to have a lot of troops, but they were actually vulnerable. Furthermore, Fulahan set up a formation with his back to Shuofang City, putting himself in a
The unfavorable position of being attacked from the front and back also violates common sense in military use.
Yuan Shao originally didn't believe in the emperor's almost miraculous achievements, but after hearing Chen Gong's explanation, he felt relieved.
This is not bad, the emperor is just a young man who is just sixteen years old, how can he have such a brilliant military talent.
But what Chen Gong said next was not so happy.
The emperor stayed in Meiji and did not return to Hedong, but he might go east and enter Youzhou at any time.
Daijun in the west of Youzhou, Shanggu, and Yanmen, Dingxiang, and Yunzhong counties in the north of Bingzhou are geographically connected without any barriers. After the emperor defeated Xianbei and surrendered the Xiongnu, he had a large number of war horses and marched quickly.
Very fast, heading east into Daijun and up the valley.
In other words, if Yuan Shao cannot respond in time, the emperor will control Daijun and Shanggu before him, and may enter Zhuojun and Guangyang at any time through Juyong Fortress, or enter Changshan and Zhongshan through Feihu Road.
When talking about this, Chen Gong reminded Yuan Shao that he met Zhao Yun from Changshan when crossing the river.
Yuan Shao had no impression of Zhao Yun, but he was very sensitive to the word "Changshan people".
Jingxing, one of the eight counties in Taihang, is located in Changshan, and the two counties of Changshan and Zhongshan have always been in collusion with Gongsun Zan. If the Changshan people turned to the imperial court and joined forces with Taiyuan County, the threat would be greater than Gongsun Zan.
Gongsun Zan killed Liu Yu, which greatly lost people's hearts and made it difficult for him to do anything.
The Emperor is a young man with great potential. I wonder how many foolish men and women will regard the Emperor as the hope for the resurgence of the Han Dynasty.
Chen Gong's reminder is very timely and this matter must not be taken lightly.
Chen Gong then recounted some of the emperor's government affairs in Meiji.
The most important thing here is the emperor's handling of the Xianbei and Xiongnu surrenders.
Bingzhou had an extremely short household registration, and all the counties together had only 50,000 or 60,000 households, less than one county in Jizhou. The emperor had no choice but to move the Xianbei and Xiongnu descendants to settle in Xihe and try to educate them.
Of course, imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel.
It is by no means an easy task to civilize barbarians who are accustomed to nomadic herding and create households. Without ten years, it is difficult to see results.
Hearing this, Yuan Shao couldn't help but smile and said in an almost frivolous tone: "Although the emperor is young, he has the ambition of Yao and Shun."
Jushou frowned slightly and remained silent.
Tian Feng put down his chopsticks and stood up.
"My lord, the loss of youth is urgent. The emperor is still young, but he has long-term peace and stability, which should not be underestimated. Moreover, ten years is long and short. The Yellow Turban Rebellion happened more than ten years ago, but it is unclear.
Like the sun, the aftermath is still unsolved. Suppose ten years later, the emperor has successfully enlightened and led 100,000 Xianbei, and the young Xiongnu went south. How will my lord respond?"
The smile on Yuan Shao's face immediately froze, and his face turned a little pale.
It's chilling to think about a hundred thousand men riding south.
But what Tian Feng said is by no means groundless.
In this war, the emperor surrendered more than 100,000 Xianbei people. In addition to the Huns who had originally settled in the fortress, even if it was not as many as 100,000 households, the shortage would be limited. If in the next few years we attract some people from the grasslands,
When the Xianbei people entered the fortress, there were only a few more households than 100,000.
After ten years of lessons, Xianbei is now only ten years old, and the Xiongnu boy has grown up, and it is not an empty lie to have a hundred thousand elite cavalry.
If we add people from Xiliang...
In an instant, Yuan Shao felt that all the fine wine and food on the table had lost their taste.
"Forewarning will lead to failure, failure to forewarn will lead to failure, how can you teach me?" Yuan Shao raised his head, forced a smile, and looked at everyone.
Tian Feng handed over his hand. "I think it is best for my lord to enter the court and take charge of the government."
After reviewing the match, Jushou nodded unanimously.
What Tian Feng said is indeed a good plan. When Yuan Shao came to rule the dynasty, with the help of Zhao Wen, Zhang Xi and other veterans inside, and the response of the gentry from all over the world, it was not difficult to monopolize power. In this way, no matter what tricks the emperor had, he would be able to
There is no threat to Yuan Shao.
When it comes to appeasement and comfort of the Huru, the Yuan family is the real backbone. Since Yuan An, they have always advocated appeasing the Huru rather than conquering them. Now Yuan Shao is in charge of Jizhou and has close relations with Xianbei and Wuhuan in Youzhou. Not long ago,
He married several clan girls to Xianbei and Wuhuan tribes, and granted several chanyu titles.
Yuan Shao was silent for a long time. "Yuan Hao, let me tell you the right strategy."
