When Uncle Gong walked into Maodun's den, Maodun was staring at the dome of the den in a daze. When he heard footsteps, Maodun took back his thoughts from his thoughts. Seeing that Uncle Gong was coming, he said, "Military advisor, you are here."

Uncle Gong bowed and asked again: "The Great Shanyu, the Northern Diao Caravan seems..."

Maodun interrupted Gongshu without saying a word: "Military advisor, you're too worried. This Bei Diao caravan has an old relationship with us. Bei Diao Wang Zhao is also an old friend of our Shanyu. Although the Bei Diao caravan has brought a lot of salt this year, it is because the original peddlers and pawns in the Central Plains have disappeared. Our Shanyu specifically asked them to increase the amount of salt sales."

Uncle Gong said, "Since the Great Shanyu has a clear idea in his mind, there will be no more."

Maodun said again: "Military advisor, this Shanyu came to you for another matter. He sent the Qingzhu to the Central Plains to inquire about the news back to the royal court. Unfortunately, last winter, King Liu Bang of Han died. After the new king ascended the throne, Guanzhong was very confused. If we were to attack Jiuyuan at that time, we would definitely be able to retake Jiuyuan."

After listening to Maodun's careful division, Uncle Gong sighed: "This is the helplessness of poor intelligence."

Maodun said again: "There is another thing. Now the two overlords of Chu and Han are desperately trying to win over Han, Zhao, Yan, Qi and other countries. One wants to form a Lianheng Alliance, but the other wants to form a Helian Zong Alliance, a military advisor. What do you think about this?"

Uncle Gong's face slightly condensed, and after pondering for a moment, he said, "Da Shanyu, this is an opportunity."

"Haha, military advisor, you have gone with Ben Shanyu again." Maodun smiled and said, "According to the tradition of our Huns, we use troops to the Central Plains when the autumn is clear and the horse is strong and fat. But this year, Ben Shanyu plans to do the opposite. What do you think suddenly using troops to Jiuyuan at the beginning of spring?"

"No." Gongshu suddenly stretched out his hand and opposed, "You can't use troops to Jiuyuan."

"Huh?" Mao Dun was a little surprised when he heard this and said in a daze, "Military advisor, do you not agree with it just now?"

Gongshu analyzed: "Last winter, the Han Dynasty was changing with new and old kings. The situation was chaotic, and it was indeed an opportunity to seize Jiuyuan, but now the power replacement in Guanzhong has been completed, and Prime Minister Bai Mo has taken over the power. I am afraid that it will be difficult for me, the Huns, to use troops against Jiuyuan at this time."

There was a reason why the Huns chose to go south to hunt grass valley when the horses were strong and fat. One reason was that most of the tribes scattered on the grasslands in the northern desert would arrive at the foot of Yanran Mountain before the beginning of winter, so the Huns could concentrate their troops. [w.w.cm

｜I&|】 Another reason is that the horses in autumn are full of energy and can march for a long distance.

But now it is spring, and each tribe has returned to their own pastures. It is not easy to complete the assembly. Another thing is that after a severe winter, the horses will lose weight seriously. If they attack for a long distance, the war horses may die in large numbers. This is definitely an unbearable burden for the Huns.

"Military advisor, what do you mean?" Maodun said unhappily, "I agree, and then I object?"

Gongshu smiled slightly and then said, "The Great Shanyu is opposing the use of troops against Jiuyuan, because the Han army in Jiuyuan was stationed heavily. Our Huns were not sure of victory. Second, even if we regained Jiuyuan, our Huns would have to pay a heavy price, and it would be difficult to get supplementary livestock from Jiuyuan."

Mao Dun was so angry that he said angrily: "Then did you have a chance just now?"

Uncle Gong smiled and said, "The Great Shanyu cannot use troops to Jiuyuan, we can also use troops to Hexi!"

"Hey, use troops to Hexi?" Maodun was stunned at first when he heard this, and then his eyes were fierce. He said with a grim voice, "Don't slaughter people, Hunxie people and Yuezhi people?"

"Yes!" Gongshu nodded and stretched out three fingers and said, "Da Shanyu, Xiu Tu, Hunxie and Yuezhi are the three minions of the Han king. If we directly use troops to the Han king, we will definitely attract the bites of these three minions, and we, the Huns, will be attacked from both sides. Therefore, before using troops to the Han king, we must first cut off the Han king's minions!"

Maodun nodded and said, "But, the King of Han won't sit idly by, right?"

Gongshu said: "Of course the King of Han would not sit idly by, but firstly, the Han State had just experienced the defeat of Mianshui, and the strong men in the country suffered heavy losses. Guanzhong was in a time when everything was in trouble, so he sent tens of thousands of cavalry to rescue Hexi; secondly, the Han State was competing with Chu State to win over the various countries in Guandong, so its strategic focus was not on Hexi, which was an opportunity to take advantage of."

"Miracle, wonderful!" Maodun said fiercely, "Then we will use troops to Hexi, and the Xiushu people, Hunxi people and Yuezhi people in Hexi all have a large number of cattle, sheep and horses, which can make up for the loss of animals during the battle, so that it will not affect the southward journey to the grass valley this autumn, haha."

Hu Yan looked anxious and was walking back and forth in the big tent. Seeing Bi Shu still had leisure and Yizhi playing chess record, Hu Yan couldn't help but be anxious and stepped forward and advised: "General, are you going to find Lou Jing again? I heard that Bai Mo, the Prime Minister of Han, has passed the exam and is about to arrive in Linzi."

Bi Shu said calmly: "How can this old fox Lou Jing hide in his arms?"

"Then you can't wait, right?" Hu Yan said anxiously, "We have to find a way to make the alliance work."

"Hey, this matter cannot be urgent." Bi Shu waved his hand and said calmly, "Because of Zhao Yan's death, King Han He of Qi is now fighting against heaven and man. If we act too anxious, it may still have a counterproductive effect. Although Han He is a little tender, he is not an idiot after all. He is still a little judgmental and cannot be looked at."

Hu Yan said: "But when Bai Mo arrives, it will be difficult to form an alliance."

"That may not be true." Bi Shu waved his hand again and said, "No matter how powerful my senior brother is, I am afraid he can't act against the will of heaven."

"Doing against the heavens?" Hu Yan asked in confusion, "General, are you the alliance between Qi and Chu? Is it the destiny of heaven?"

"The people's hearts are the will of heaven, and what the people's hearts are the will of heaven are the destiny." Bishu nodded and said, "These days, I will not go to Lou Jing but let you go to the countryside to promote the kingly way of the Great Chu. There is no reason."

Hu Yan disagreed and said, "But the last general doesn't believe that these rural villagers can still control the government?"

Bi Shu smiled and shook his head and said, "Of course, rural villagers cannot control the government affairs, but they can influence the noble families, and the noble families are the groups that can truly influence the government affairs."

Hu Yan said: "But Bai Mo is coming soon, so you have to find a way to deal with it?"

"Haha, don't be impatient." Bi Shu smiled and waved his hand, then waved Huyan forward, pointed to the chessboard and asked, "Huyan, can you recognize this chess game?"

Hu Yanluo connected to the chess path and asked immediately: "Is this a game between the general and the military commander Fan?"

"That's right." Bi Shu nodded slightly and said thoughtfully, "I can remember the scene at that time. I have been studying this chess game for more than ten years, trying to find the chess path of Mr. Fan's military. Hard work pays off. Recently, I finally gained something, what I gained a little."

Hu Yan scratched his head and said, "General, what are you doing in a good game?"

Bi Shu smiled slightly and replied to the question: "Since my former master parting, I haven't played chess with my senior brother for 16 years. I finally met in Qi this time, so I have to ask for advice."

Two days later, Bai Mo rushed to Linzi.

Bai Mo entered the city directly from the northern gate of Linzi, so he did not meet Bi Shu, who was stationed outside the south gate.

After entering the city, Bai Mo and his party fell into the inn and washed them all. Zhou Guanfu, who was inquiring about the news first, walked in with a serious expression and said in a deep voice: "Prime Minister, the situation in Linzi City is very complicated."

Bai Mo wiped the water stains on his face with a towel and said calmly: "Concrete."

Zhou Guanfu nodded and continued, "First, after Zhao Yanjun's suicide was sentenced, King Han He of Qi issued an edict to punish himself and sentenced him to stay in the door for half a month, and it has only been five days. Second, all the civil and military officials and generals led by the Prime Minister Lou Jing hid, clearly not wanting to get involved; Third, the Chu envoy Bi Shu has not left yet, but he has no intention of rushing; Fourth, Linzi City is discussing the alliance, but the advocates of the alliance are far more than Lian Heng!"

Bai Mo sighed and said a little lonely: "Oh, this is also expected. The people are determined, and the people are determined. The people in Qi are tired of war and displaced, so they tend to form an alliance with the powerful Chu State. This is understandable, because only by forming an alliance with Chu State or even incorporating it into Chu State can they live a stable and good life."

Zhou Guanfu groaned and said murderously: "Hmph, these are all rural villagers who don't know how to live or die!"

Bai Mo waved his hand and sighed: "The key is not these rural village men. They cannot affect the Qi State Bureau. They can affect the Qi State Bureau as a noble family. From the moment, the aristocratic family members are obviously inclined to form alliances with the Chu State. This is really not good news for us, the great man."

Zhou Guanfu said: "Prime Minister, then there is no way to save the situation?"

"That may not be true." Bai Mo shook his head and said, "It is certainly not OK to act against the will of heaven, but it is OK to go with the flow."

"Push the boat with the flow?" Zhou Guanfu was confused and said in confusion, "What water should I follow? What boat should I push? How to push?"

Bai Mo smiled slightly, and was about to answer, suddenly a Han military academy came in to report: "Prime Minister, General Bi Shu of Chu had just sent someone to send an invitation, and invite you to the Sanli Pavilion in the east of Linzi City to attend the banquet."

"Go to the banquet?" Zhou Guanfu said without hesitation, "Don't go!"

"Let's go." Bai Mo quickly stopped Zhou Guanfu and said, "You have an appointment, how can I not go to the appointment?" After that, Bai Mo ordered the Han Military Academy, "Tell me to come back and I will go to the banquet on time."
