After a long time, the conversation between Xue Tong and Shao Xu continued.

Shao Xu said slowly: "The lord is an old family in Nanxia. Although he has a family, he is a survivor of the country. He also started his family in the army and went from a subordinate general to the side in several months. He was not only due to military power, but also fortune. It is not a right way to promote the promotion and reincarnation, and it is inevitable that he will be despised by the nobles of the Central and North Korea. With time, he may not be able to live in the Dramatic territory."

Hearing this, Xue Tong snorted coldly. The Xue family in Hedong, who was born, was also a descendant of the martial arts family. He empathized with Shao Xu's words and was quite resentful.

But Shao Xu continued, "General Xue, don't look down on Luoyang. Although the high-ranking officials and high-ranking officials have no power to tie up chickens and their size, they can use their pens to kill people with words. I ask General Yingyang's name is as heavy as General Ningbei? Although the prefect of the county is responsible for responsibilities, what is the governor of Jizhou? Even if a high position and power are like Ding Shulun, he will be attacked by villains for details, and it is almost inevitable that Lu Daoming is merely Lu Daoming? Therefore, even if we do not want to cause trouble, the times come to force us. This is true as the lord said, sailing against the current, if we do not advance, we will retreat."

Xue Tong frowned and thought for a while, and asked in a deep voice: "Shi Shi, where should the so-called forced situation be?"

Shao Xu responded: "Changshan."

Changshan County has eight counties with 24,000 households, located in the northwest corner of Jizhou. It borders Dai County in Youzhou to the north, and is separated from Leping, Xinxing, Yanmen and other counties in Bingzhou to the west, and is connected by mountain passages such as Jingxing and Feihu Xing.

The day after Lu Yao went south to Guangzong, a part of the Jinyang Army led by Liu Yan appeared in Changshan.

Since the Huns and Han Kingdom were frustrated in Jinyang last year, the northern part of Bingzhou has basically maintained a state of peace and there was no large-scale war. Liu Kun used this rare opportunity to rest and reclamate and took deep roots in Yanmen, Xinxing, Leping, Taiyuan and other places. At the same time, he used the name of the court to appease the various tribes in Hexi, expelled the hostile Xianbei forces of the Bai tribes, and recruited elite troops from the surrendered people to serve. By March and April, the Bingzhou army not only made up for the trauma of last year's war, but also expanded quite a lot. After the ceremony of the Danhan Mountain Sacrifice, although the grassland was once in chaos, Tuoba Yilu, an important ally of Bingzhou, was finally able to basically control the various tribes of the Xianbei tribes, leaving the Jinyang regime without any worries.

Liu Yueshi was a very talented and stubborn figure. Since the political situation was stable and the military strength was sufficient, he started a new round of confrontation with the Huns and Han countries. The counties under Bingzhou were already waiting for the battle, and this time he even collected food, fodder and supplies to rectify the troops.

While he was busy, news suddenly came that Ding Shao, the governor of Jizhou, suddenly came. Considering the possible changes in the military and political situation in Jizhou, Liu Kun was eager to protect his clan village, so he ordered his nephew Liu Yan to lead three thousand troops from Jingxing to the east and take Zhongshan and Changshan.

Liu Yu and Liu Kun were from Weichang, Zhongshan, and were descendants of the former Han Dynasty. Liu Sheng, the King of Zhongshan Jing, was known for his extravagance and debauchery, had 120 descendants, and had a large number of descendants. The Liu clans were distributed in northern Jizhou and southern Youzhou. For example, Liu Bei, the former lord of Shu Han, came out of Zhuo County. Although this move exceeded the rules, it was really restrained in the name of protecting the clan relatives compared to the unscrupulous actions of the Yanzhou army.

But for Dai County, any changes in northern Jizhou are worrying.

Changshan County was established in the Han Dynasty and was named because it included the northern mountain Changshan. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhao Jianzi, a powerful minister of Jin State, once intended to test the talents of his sons, so he told them: "I have treasure talismans on Changshan, and those who get it first will be rewarded." The sons rode their horses to Changshan, and everyone asked for it, but they had nothing to gain. Only after the sons of my concubine, Zhao Wuxiang, who had the lowest status among the sons, came back and reported: "'I have obtained the talismans. From Changshan to Changshan, I can take advantage of the dynasty, and the three families can be taken to Jin. After Zhao Jianzi's death, Zhao Wuxiang succeeded to serve as the doctor of Jin. As expected, he used Changshan's geographical advantages to send troops to attack and destroy Dai State. This move greatly enhanced the strength of the Zhao family and laid the foundation for the future attack and destruction of Zhibo and the three families to divide Jin.

It can be seen from this that Changshan has a condescending momentum for Dai County and has an important strategic suppression effect. If Jinyang controls Changshan, Zhongshan, and controls all the channels for Daidi to exchange materials outside, this is definitely not a situation that Lu Yao would like to see.

Xue Tong sighed. Perhaps in the eyes of others, it is a good thing that the power of the former benefactor extends and approaches. However, the identity of a general under the command of Yue Shigong is very different from the identity of his own responsibility, and the judgment angle is of course different. In Lu Yao's view today, Liu Yan's actions are just a threat.

"So... how does the Chief Secretary plan to deal with it?" At this time, how could Xue Tong not understand? He blurted out, and then thought: Although the court's reputation is low now, most of the Muslims and Shou in various places do their own thing, Lu Yao has only been in office for less than half a year, and the only one who really controls is Dai County, and there is no reliable aid in the court. If he openly interferes in Jizhou affairs, once he cannot grasp the degree, the foundation he has obtained through hard work is probably to be cheaper for others. Therefore, some things can be done by Youzhou, Yanzhou, and Bingzhou, but Dai County cannot do; and some things can't be done even if they can do them.

"Stop, let's not ask more. I think the chief will be responsible for his actions." Xue Tong stood up to help the case and looked at Shao Xu deeply: "I'm disturbing Mr. Shao today. If nothing else, Xue will say goodbye."

Xue Tong only knows how to kill enemies and make meritorious contributions on the battlefield. He doesn't think he needs to understand anything other than that, nor is he willing to understand. Thinking that Shao Xu's plan was his brothers in the Jinyang Army who fought side by side in the past, his feelings were even more complicated. But since Shao Xu must have taken measures in accordance with Lu Yao's intention, Xue Tong knew that there was no point in this.

Xue Tong walked neatly, just like Tathagata's decisive behavior.

Shao Xu sent it outside the door, watched Xue Tong and his group ride away before returning to the yard.

Just now, after the screen, someone turned out to be Zhu Sheng.

This yellow-faced man has been transferred from scouts to intelligence for several months and has gradually left the military system. However, with Lu Yao's attention, the power he has in his hands has increased instead of reducing, and his personality has become more gloomy and sophisticated. When Xue Tong talked about Zhu Sheng's whereabouts, he never thought that this person was hiding behind a wall.

"Shishen, our plan is not aimed at Liu Yan, nor is it aimed at Yue Shigong. Do you mean to make General Xue worry?"

"It's just a small temptation, and he will understand my intentions in the future." Shao Xu tweaked the red coral beads in his hand for nothing, making a slight rustling sound: "Just as General Xue has doubts about my loyalty; I also want to know which is more important, in his heart, his loyalty to his lord and his friendship with his former colleagues."

Zhu Sheng's eyes flashed and he did not respond. So the hall was silent for a while.

Shao Xu poured a cup of tea for himself and asked, "Did Fang Qinzhi behave smoothly?"

"Everything is ready. Youzhou army will only be deployed today and tomorrow. In addition, he also said that he met Jiang Lun, the chief of Jizhou, in the army. If he could tell this king to open his eyes for us, he would be more sure."
