"Let me ask General Wei." Wei Jian was still undaunted. "You won all three battles and surrendered in total. How many white wave thieves did you defeat?"

"More than eight thousand!"

"Then we go down to Xiangling. If there are three to five thousand people in front of us again, what will the general do?"

Gongsun Xun immediately came to his senses.

"Let me speak frankly." When Wei Jian saw that the other party had woken up, he quickly explained. "The general is going down the Fen River. In front of him are Pingyang, Jiangyi, Linfen, Jicheng, Pishi and many other cities occupied by Baibo bandits...

If Mrs. Guo still avoids the war and leads 50,000 to 60,000 people to take refuge in the Luliang Mountains in the north, how should the general respond? There are nearly 20 counties in the east of the river, and the land is vast and densely populated. If the general leaves them alone and rushes straight into Guanzhong, won't he be afraid that the logistics will be disrupted?

"If we set up defenses along the way, how many troops should be left in so many cities? The general's only strategy is to completely clear the east of the river, so that he can safely cross the Yellow River and fight the Dong thief boldly!"

Gongsun Xun was deep in thought for a moment.

However, Lou Gui suddenly raised his hand on his horse and asked: "Lou Gui of Nanyang, may I ask Mr. Bo Xi, why are you so sure that Guo Tai will avoid the war, and why do you want our army to stay here in Yang County? Could it be that stopping here will force Guo Tai to take the initiative?"

A decisive battle?"

"I've met General Zhonglang, the Zuo Army Advisor." Wei Jian asked rhetorically without losing his courtesy. "I dare to ask General Zhonglang, do you know the situation in Hedong?"

"Isn't it because the noble families gathered on the south side of the Sushui River to protect my senior brother Wang Taishou from being lost in Anyi? Isn't it because the powerful and good family members live on both sides of the Fen River, so they gathered together to become bandits?" Xi Zhong interjected.

"It's roughly like this, but there are flaws." Wei Jian pointed to the Fen River in the north and said calmly. "In fact, the east of the river is divided into three parts by the Sushui River and the Fen River... Most of the famous families live in the south of the Sushui River and the north of the Yellow River. The ancient capital An

You are right that the city is the foundation; and as for the powerful, it is true that the good people live on both sides of the Fen River, but the powerful people live in the south of the Fen River and in the north of the Sushui River, while the good people mostly live in the north of the Sushui..."

Gongsun Xun's face moved slightly.

"But further north, in the Luliang Mountains, due to the previous chaos in Guanzhong, many people fled from Guanzhong, Liangzhou, and Bingzhou." Wei Jian continued. "On that day, Guo Tai raised an army with the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, and first gathered the hungry people in the mountains to the north.

, went all the way south, first coerced the Liangjiazi on the north bank of the Fen River, and went to the Baibo Valley on the edge of the Fen River to officially start the uprising. Then they crossed the river to capture the city and captured the territory, attracting countless powerful families to follow... At this time, those who blocked General Wei in various places were actually

It was the wealthy and powerful families from all over the country who did it without permission, but Mrs. Guo and the people of Fenbei had some arrangements at this time, and they repeatedly backed away..."

"I understand what you mean." Gongsun Xun suddenly interrupted the other party directly. "You mean that Guo Taiben can't command those powerful Fennan people... If I go south all the way, with thunderous power, he will have reason to avoid the battle.

And take advantage of the situation to abandon those powerful people; but if I stop here and send cavalry everywhere to harass, like a sword hanging on the top, these Fennan powerful people can have time to join forces and force Mrs. Guo to come for a decisive battle."

"That's exactly what I mean." Wei Jian bowed his hands and said sincerely. "General Wei... I don't understand the art of war. I just live here for a long time and have a slight understanding of the situation in the east of the river. General, why don't you stay here temporarily? As I said.

By the way, take advantage of the situation and fight decisively to eliminate future troubles. If what I said is wrong, just wait for a few days and it won't affect the overall situation!"

"That's very well said." Gongsun Xun held the reins in his hand and nodded slightly while looking at Fenshui in the north. "It's true that I was careless... It's just Mr. Bochu, this is none of your business. You don't want to sit in Anyi."

Seeing success or failure, but risking war to come here alone, what is your purpose? According to what my subordinates just said, you are a young adult, your family is the best in Hedong, and your reputation is known as the best in Hedong, but you have never been an official. Why are you alone and in danger now?

, are you here specifically to help me?"

Wei Jian shook his head: "When the world is not in chaos, can't I concentrate on my calligraphy of laws and regulations? But now that the world is in turmoil, as a scholar, isn't it natural for me to bring order to the chaos?"

"Having said that, the world is in turmoil and all heroes are rising up. Why do you think I am the one who brings order to the chaos?" Gongsun Xun looked down on him, half-smiling. "I am not a polite person."

"I am not a flattering person, but when I saw General Wei moving his troops and horses after spring plowing, I also understood that General Wei was by no means a wasted person, and he also had a heart to appease. Not to mention that at this time, Dong Zhuo was violent and violent.

We need heroes who can suppress him!" Wei Jian raised his head and replied solemnly. "If I don't come to find the general at this time, how can I expect these bandits in the county to quell the chaos?"

"How about my senior brother Wang Yi? Isn't he your commander-in-chief?"

"The prince has the support of everyone in the county." Wei Jian replied calmly. "And Corporal Li Xian only doesn't know how to use soldiers, and he doesn't have any soldiers... At this time, what can we expect from him?"

Gongsun Xun couldn't help chatting, but got off his horse in embarrassment, and then slightly raised his hands towards the other party: "I am suspicious and mistakenly mistook the national scholar for a talker... I dare to ask Mr. Bochun, since the situation in Hedong, two rivers and three places is different, what is the difference?

Why level the east of the river?"

When everyone in the Chinese army saw this, they quickly dismounted.

"North of the Fen River, there are all innocent people." Wei Jian did not take advantage of Qiao at all. Instead, he just handed over his hand and told everything, even impatiently. "If Guo Tai can be captured and killed, the general should not pursue the case anymore, but should comfort him.

Let them go home and work."

Gongsun Xun's heart moved and he became more serious.

"As for the wealthy and powerful people in Fennan, these people actually have no ambitions. It's just that they often gather thousands of households and hundreds of guests, which is due to their strength. In addition, there are turmoils, so they

One by one, they raised troops to occupy the cities and towns. It was called rebellion, but it was actually a separatist regime, just living in peace and contentment. However, the people of Hedong were strong, and they were good at fighting, so they had to be restrained... If the general could frighten Hedong in one battle, he might as well take advantage of it.

Incorporate these people into the army during the war, select the good and shameless among them as generals, use military law to get rid of the ignorant and immoral among them, and then annex them all! In short, we cannot let them stay in the east of the river, otherwise in the event of turmoil, they will be devastated.

The marrow knows the taste, and sooner or later it will turn against you!"

Gongsun Xun looked at Wei Qi with admiration at this time!

but……

"Then let me ask Mr. Bo Chu." Gongsun Xun couldn't help but urge him when the other party said this. "What should we do with the Hedong family in Anyi?"

"It depends on the person." Wei Jian replied in a deep voice. "The Hedong family has people with both ability and political integrity... For example, the Jia family has a boy with tied hair named Jia Kui, who is now a county official in Anyi.

, I thought this person could be ten times better than me!"

Gongsun Xun couldn't help but laugh: "A young man with tied hair may have some talents and can be cultivated, but how can he compare to you, Mr. Bo Chu? Just because his surname is Jia?"

"Because he saw that the world was going to be in chaos very early. When he was a boy, he led his friends from the countryside to practice military affairs and taught him the art of war." Wei Jian said sternly. "And he is a well-rounded person... Although he is

He was born in a noble family, but his family was poor. Before he became an official, he only had one pair of trousers. His brother-in-law, the Liu clan, was rich, so he went to visit wearing torn trousers, stayed overnight, and left early the next morning wearing his brother-in-law's trousers..."

Gongsun Xun was speechless for a moment.

"General Wei, I probably guessed that it was just that the Hedong clan settled in a corner of Anyi and was at peace with the Baibo thieves. You were so stubborn that you had doubts about me and the Hedong clans... But you said, go to the poor ones.

The Hedong Jia family who changes pants at my brother-in-law's house and the Liu family who always gives up their pants, do these clans really have a false reputation?"

Gongsun Xun couldn't help but laugh: "But the longevity of Anyi makes people doubtful. The Jia family is poor and the Liu family is free, but aren't there luxury and chaotic families? You said that the powerful people in Hedong are called bandits, but they are actually separatists.

, then don’t the Hedong aristocrats have thieves who are called official subordinates but are actually separatists? Mr. Bochu, it’s not that I am being harsh, but once the aristocracy is separatist, it will be more troublesome than those powerful and powerful people without ambitions!”

"There are indeed two such aristocratic families, and there are indeed two bandits." Wei Jian's expression did not change. "Now in Anyi City, all the soldiers and horses are restrained by two people. It is nothing more than the two years since Taishou Wang has been in office.

They are their benefactors, so they did not force Shangguan, but the situation in Anyi is controlled by the two of them! If the general defeated the Baibo bandits and went south to Anyi, I think they should be incorporated or simply disposed of!"

"Who is he?" Gongsun Xun chased after him.

"One is from the Fan family, and the leader calls him Fan Xian; the other is from my same clan, the Wei family, and the leader calls him Wei Gu, and he is my younger brother!" Wei Jian's expression did not change. "If I didn't want these two people to know, why would I do it?

I ventured here alone? It’s good that many powerful people here recognize me, but am I not afraid of the chaos of war?”

The people around him looked at each other speechless, but Gongsun Xun raised his head and laughed when he heard this. After laughing, he asked again: "Mr. Wei, we are hiding from each other... You are a famous person who is rare in the world!"

"Of course I know how to hide from each other." Wei Qian, who had always looked normal, suddenly changed his expression. "But I have been at home for many years, studying laws and regulations while sitting and observing current events. How could I not know that this world is because there are no rules?

, the laws and regulations have only fallen to where they are now step by step! When the world collapses, it is the human heart that breaks down first! Only by upholding the laws and regulations for the sake of the world can we quell the chaos and calm the people! Wei Gu is the first to surpass the rules. Although I am only a white body, so what

Can the law be abolished for personal reasons?!"

Gongsun Xun suddenly admired him, but he couldn't help but stepped forward and held the man's hands: "I thought Lord Wei came here just to offer a plan to pacify Hedong, but I didn't expect that he actually came to offer a plan to pacify the world! There is a missing person in the scene to formulate the regulations.

, I wonder if Bo Xi is willing to give in?"

"I came here for this reason, why wouldn't I want to?" Wei Ji returned to his normal state and faced him proudly.

——————I am the dividing line with a clear conscience——————

"Taizu attacked Dong Linhedong, and Wei Hou was at Gaoliang Pavilion. The war was at peace, and Gao Guan went to the battlefield to pay homage. When Taizu saw Gao Guan coming, he sat on his horse and looked at him. When he was close, he bowed and bowed, saying:

"General, do you want to attack Dong? If you want, you should stop here. If you don't want to, attack the Baobo bandits quickly and go south." Taizu was stunned: "What can I say?" He said: "The Baibo bandits are known as one hundred thousand, and they are good at fighting.

There is no match, but the leader Guo Tai cannot control the various ministries. The general is an elite soldier who has fought in hundreds of battles. If he attacks quickly, Tai will abandon his ministries to the north and avoid the Luliang Mountains, thinking of future troubles. If the general is stationed here and slows down, the ministries will have a chance to breathe.

The general forced Taizu to fight in a decisive battle, but he could win in one battle. Taizu dismounted in horror, bowed his hands to thank him, and worshiped him again as Army Sima, in charge of military law." - "Xinyan Shu", Volume 75, Biography 2
