"What's more important than this? What's the matter?" Liu Yu asked immediately after hearing this.

"Liu Kun, the governor of Bingzhou in Jin Dynasty, left Jinyang and went to Changshan County, gathering troops from Changshan and Zhongshan counties on a large scale!" Gongsun Sheng said.

"Gather the troops of the two counties?"

After hearing the news, Liu Yu frowned slightly.

He knew that Liu Kun, the governor of Bingzhou in Jin, issued a manifesto not long ago to all prefectures and counties, and agreed to jointly raise troops to siege the Huns and Han Kingdom in September this fall, claiming to meet with Pingyang and welcome the bones of Emperor Huai of Jin, Sima Chi.

Liu Yu was naturally happy to see the situation of Jintingzhou and county siege besieging the Huns and Han Kingdoms, but Liu Yu was not very optimistic about the result of this military operation.

"Didn't Liu Kun say that he would attack the Hulu in September? It's still a few months left. Why are we going to gather troops now? Could it be?"

Liu Yu immediately thought about whether there was any conspiracy against him.

"Your Majesty, Liu Kun gathered together in Changshan, but the troops of the two counties of Zhongshan were not trying to plot against Jizhou, but to lead the army to rescue Jinyang!" Gongsun Sheng's words immediately dispelled Liu Yu's concerns.

"Rescue Jinyang? What's wrong with Jinyang?"

Liu Yu was slightly surprised. The forces that could threaten Jinyang in Bingzhou had no other power except the Huns and Han countries in the south.

However, the army led by the Hun Emperor Liu Cong was still not retreating in Hanoi County, only the Huns' soldiers and horses in Henan retreated.

With the main force going on the expedition, does the Huns and Han Kingdom still have the strength to attack Jinyang?

If this is the case, the real strength of the Huns and Han Kingdoms would probably be far more than 100,000 troops.

"I heard from the secret spy that he had returned that it was Liu Kun, the governor of Bingzhou, who believed the illegitimate accusation and did not distinguish right from wrong, and killed his subordinate General Fenwei Linghu Sheng, and his son Linghu Ni fled to the Huns!"

Gongsun Sheng's words immediately reminded Liu of this major event that changed Liu Kun's fate.

Looking at Liu Kun's experience since he became an official, at the beginning, Liu Kun was a romantic and powerful young man from a high school. His mother Guo was the aunt of Jia Nanfeng's "demon queen". Liu Kun followed the trend and leaned against Jia Mi, a powerful nobleman from Jia Nanfeng. At this time, it was no exaggeration to call him "a playboy of the Jia Queen's party."

When King Sima Lun of Zhao came to power and usurped the throne, Sima Lun's prince was Liu Kun's brother-in-law, and Liu Kun took office in Sima Lun's pseudo-gong. At this time, he became the name of "Afu Rebel".

As for the subsequent kings, they did not affect Liu Kun's power and status at all, but instead became more and more prominent.

In addition to Liu Kun's personality, his frivolous political affairs and hobbies and enjoyment behavior have not been completely changed.

It is precisely because of this that this happened in history. Liu Kun favored the favored Le Man Xu Run and wrongly killed the general Linghu Sheng, which led to the later faction of Linghu Ni luring the Xiongnu soldiers and horses to capture Jinyang.

"In this case, Jinyang is probably in danger!"

Liu Yu said immediately.

"Yes, Your Majesty can tell that the Linghu clan is a wealthy family in Jinyang. The virtuality and reality of Jinyang are all in Linghu Ni's heart. Once he leads the way for the Xiongnu soldiers, I'm afraid that Jinyang will not be protected!" Gongsun Sheng continued.

Liu Yu nodded, of course he understood this truth.

Liu Kun's move will not only make his subordinates feel disappointed, but especially the Linghu family behind Linghu Sheng who was wrongly killed by Liu Kun, but will also become enemies with Liu Kun.

Since the Linghu clan was founded in the Spring and Autumn Period of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, it has been operating in Taiyuan, Bingzhou for nearly 800 years!

Although it is not listed in the top-ranking family, the clan power of the Jinyang Linghu clan is almost not weaker than that of any high-ranking family.

It is conceivable how terrible the consequences of Liu Kun, as the governor of Bingzhou, offended the Linghu family.

"In this way, it is reasonable for Liu Kun to mobilize troops in the two counties of Changshan." Liu Yu was slightly worried, not knowing whether Liu Kun could defend Jinyang City this time.

Liu Kun, the governor of Bingzhou in Jin Dynasty, was never good at fighting, or was very bad at fighting. He relied on his subordinates to repel the northern invasions of the Huns several times.

Now that the unjust killing Linghu Sheng will definitely lose the support of some soldiers from Jinyang. In addition, Tuoba Xianbei Shanyu Tuoba Yilu is also busy fighting with Qiang and Hu to compete for the pastures of Jiuyuan County's former land, so he may have no time to take care of Liu Kun.

At this time, Gongsun Sheng smiled slightly.

"Your Majesty, now that Liu Kun has transferred the troops of Changshan and Zhongshan counties, the two counties will definitely be empty and unprepared. It is better to wait until Liu Kun returns to Bingzhou and send troops to attack the two counties of Changshan. In this way, the key place of the eastbound Taihang will be under the control of Your Majesty!"

Gongsun Sheng said this, in fact, it is not rigorous, because the territory of Zhao and Wei occupied by Jiehu and the others is also a neighbouring person.

If Changshan was occupied, the two counties of Zhongshan would be completely cut off Liu Kun's power in Jizhou.

However, Liu Yu refused the suggestion without thinking.

"No, I was sending a letter to the world to fight against the Huguan. If the Huguan besieged Jinyang and I sent troops to attack Liu Yueshi's rear, wouldn't I have become a clique of the Huns' Huguans!?"

"It will inevitably be despised by the people of the world. Even if you get the land of two counties, you will lose the hearts of heroes. It is not advisable!"

After hearing Liu Yu's rejection, Gongsun Sheng was obviously prepared, and he continued.

"Liu Kun used Changshan and Zhongshan counties to supply the Bingzhou army and confiscate the soldiers and the people. If Your Majesty is unwilling to be ruled by the world and does not take the two counties, I have another plan!"

"Just send someone to imitate the powerful men of the two counties and promise to be well received, then the powerful men can offer themselves to the two counties, which will save the troubles that His Majesty is worried about!"

"Just like the affairs of the Cui clan of Boling!"

After hearing Gongsun Sheng's words, Liu Yu was a little surprised at the beginning, but after thinking about it carefully, he immediately understood.

In Liu Yu's thinking, there is always a difference in ethnicity. Although Liu Kun is a minister of Jin and does not belong to his own people, Liu Yu felt that he was in the same spirit when fighting against the Huns.

However, in Gongsun Sheng's heart, even Gongsun Sheng hated the Hu Liuyi very much, but it did not affect his chance to embezzle Liu Kun's territory.

Liu Yu was a little helpless and began to explain patiently to Gongsun Sheng.

"If Liu Kun had drawn troops from Changshan and the two counties to Jinyang, I would definitely not take the opportunity to attack the two counties. Even if the teacher said that the method of using the powerful and intelligent way to gain power, I would not agree with it."

"If there is a great chaos today, although Sima Jinshi still has several states, the people's hearts in Zhongzhou have long been lost. Whoever can defeat the barbarians and then solve the various forces and barbarians who are in the middle can regain the hearts of the people and establish the Central Plains!"

"Under such a situation, we only need to re-cultivate farming and fight, and it is entirely possible to defeat the barbarians!"

"As for loyal ministers in the Jin family like Liu Kun, everyone is too busy to take care of themselves. The Jin family's energy will only weaken day by day. Even the barbarians cannot resist. How can they block the soldiers of the powerful Han Tiger Ben in the future!"

"What's more, when these remaining parties in the Jin Dynasty are unable to resist the barbarians, they may come to surrender in person!"

"The towns in Jinshi are just dry bones in the tombs, not worth laughing at!"

After listening to Liu Yu's words, Gongsun Sheng thought about it seriously and then said.

"Since Your Majesty insists on this, I won't say more! However, if Liu Kun gathers troops from two counties to defeat the Hulu, he might really attack the thief Chao Pingyang. In that case, the Jin Dynasty may have a renewed momentum!"

When Liu Yu heard this, he immediately laughed.

"Haha, in my opinion, sir is overly worried. The five Xiongnus have been in the Bingzhou area for more than a hundred years. Most of them regard them as their hometown. With the power of Liu Kun, it is absolutely difficult to see Pingyang."

Liu Yu said this and his brows frowned slightly.

"On the contrary, I am worried that Liu Kun will not be able to protect Jinyang, lose the land and defeated soldiers, and only increase the power of the captives!"

Liu Yu and Gongsun Sheng said as they walked, they soon arrived at the conference room in front. As soon as they went in and sat down, a waiter came in to report that it was Xi Jian, Hua Xiu, and the Grand Secretary Cui Yu who came to pay their respects.

After Xi Jian and others came in, Liu Yu immediately received another news.

"Your Majesty, I just received the news from Liaodong that the chief of the Xianbei Murong tribe, Murong Kung, is preparing to join forces with the Dongyi tribes, intending to attack Lelang in the south and lead the two counties!"

Cui Yu, a senior general, has been in charge of contacting Dongyi Captain Cui Wu, and the various information in the Liaodong area are also the most informative.

"Murong Xianbei?" Liu Yu immediately felt irritated when he heard this.

Since the Cao Wei period, the Gongsun clan that dominated Liaodong was eliminated, since the Han Dynasty, many Han clan forces that had reproduced in Liaodong for hundreds of years have also been severely weakened. A massacre that boasted about Cao Wei's martial arts almost cut off the Han people's absolute dominance in Liaodong.

The subsequent Xianbei tribes, Goguryeo, and Liang Bi, who were from the Fuyu tribes, and Liang Bi, who were from the Sushen tribes, took advantage of the opportunity to enter, showing an increasingly growing momentum in the Liaodong area.

"How strong is the Murong Xianbei today? How many people have? How many soldiers are there?" Liu Yu asked immediately.

After hearing Liu Yu's question, not only Cui Yu, but also Xi Jian, Gongsun Sheng and others shook their heads silently.

Seeing this, Liu Zhou pondered for a moment and said.

"What about Murong Xianbei, compared to Duan Xianbei?"

After hearing this question, Hua Xiu thought for a while and said.

"The Duan tribe is a large number of soldiers. Although western Liaoning has the convenience of approaching the Central Plains, most of the refugees are unwilling to rely on Duan tribe. Instead, they live in the Murong tribe in Liaodong. They have always had a reputation for admiring education and treat scholars with great courtesy."

"So, in this way, the Duan army may be slightly better than Murong, but the Murong people Dingkou are better than Duan army!"

"However, Murong Chief General Murong has long received the official position of the Jin Dynasty and is quite prestigious in Liaodong. If he can join the Dongyi tribes in Pingzhou, the troops he assembled must be no weaker than Duan tribes!"

After hearing this analysis, Liu Yu immediately gained an intuitive understanding of Murong Xianbei's strength.

Except for Liu Yu, the people present did not regard the Duan tribe and the Murong tribe as any great potential threat.

After all, since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the barbarians in Liaodong have always been very weak. Not to mention comparing with the threats on the grassland, even the Qiang and Hu threats in the northwest are greater than theirs.

What's more, these barbarians in the Liaodong area are often very respectful to the Central Plains regime.

However, Liu Yu knew that it was from Duan's army and Murong's army that the power of the Central Plains was repeatedly threatened by the Central Plains regime in the Liaodong area.

"So, if Murong Xianbei really led his army to attack the south, it would be difficult to resist with Zhang Tong's military strength!" Liu Yu was a little worried.

Today, although the strength of Lelang and the two counties in the Defang County has not been greatly enhanced, the farming and production can be at most self-sufficient.

However, with the continuous support of materials, the Han forces in the two counties quickly got rid of the threat of Goguryeo attack.

After several military failures, Fuyu Baekje gradually became a servant, helping Zhang Tong, the governor of Dongpingzhou of Han, to plunder even more backward Mahan, Chen Han and others as slaves, and then resold them to Qingxu area as farm slaves.

Therefore, if you lose the two counties of Daefang and Lelang, Liu Yu will not only lose tens of thousands of Han households in the two counties, but also lose a very good channel to obtain farm slaves.

You should know that nowadays, military operations in the Han Dynasty are becoming more and more frequent, and almost all the lands of the military soldiers have to rely on the farming slaves to work. If the military soldiers’ families are farming alone, they will definitely not be able to support a full-time military man.

"The two counties of Lelang are covered with hills. As long as you guard the forts and cities, then strengthen the walls and clear the fields, you will definitely withdraw your troops after the invading Dongyi has nothing to gain."

Not long ago, Gongsun Sheng had just gone to Dianfang County for Liu Yu and appointed Zhang Tong as a marquis. He was quite familiar with the mountains and geography there.

"If you have a strong wall and clear the fields, you will definitely destroy many things. The two counties of Dongpingzhou are already poor. If this happens, even if Murong and other barbarians retreat, the two counties will be greatly damaged!"
