He led his army to Xuzhou to attack the city. In less than two months, why did these cities change so much?

Building a city is not an easy task. You must know that brick city walls are not strong, so if you want to strengthen the city, you must use stones to repair it. The most expensive part of building a city wall is to obtain materials.

It took two months to transform what was once a small earth city into these towering cities in front of us now?

Shi Le could not think of any other explanation other than a miracle.

But it was impossible for him to admit miracles.

But just because he doesn't admit it doesn't mean that his people don't think much about it. Even the Jie people believe in the existence of gods more than the Han people and are more panicked.

Just when Shi Le decided to abandon these cities and station directly at the other end of Yanzhou, countless Kongming lanterns floated towards the camp.

Shi Le was not a fool, and naturally knew that all this was Yizhou's fault. However, when he saw countless Kongming lanterns, he couldn't help but sneer. This method of burning the camp was used in books. He was not like those fools. All the food and grass were destroyed in the fire, but people knelt on the ground and shouted to the gods.

So he immediately ordered everyone to guard the granary and baggage stores, and if the lights fell down, the fire would be put out.

But who knew that after burning, those lamps fell into the camp, not just to burn the camp tents. Under each lamp is a small green leaf bundle, and there are several pieces of paper wrapped in the bundle.

There were no words on the paper, but a grid of small paintings.

Looking at those paintings, even the illiterate soldiers understood what the paintings wanted to say.

Their army has no future. This is something that everyone has a vague premonition in their hearts, so everyone lives with an attitude of having a drink now and being drunk now, so most of them are not very afraid of death, so All of them yearn for something they never had in the past and strive to grab it.

But these small paintings told them that they were originally state soldiers and ordinary people, but they chose to follow in order to survive. Now Guo Shijun is willing to give them a chance. The previous cities that have changed their appearance are the best. With proof, they can choose to continue serving as soldiers, or they can choose to be allocated a few acres of land and become ordinary people. This opportunity was the last chance given by Guo Shijun. Guo Shijun had just defeated the Xianbei tribes in Youzhou, and it was not difficult to deal with Shi Le's army. Moreover, the painting also says that both Han and Jie people can have a choice.

Shi Le also received these small paintings immediately.

His army is finished.

Shi Le knew immediately that this kind of promise gave most of their people a way out, and they would definitely be unwilling to follow him on the road to death.

He did not bother to recover the small paintings or anything else, but directly ordered his three thousand Jie cavalry who had been following him loyally to pack up their belongings and luggage, and took them to abandon the camp and go straight to the Han Dynasty.

Shi Le had already offended the nobles, and neither the Sima nor the Guo family could tolerate him, so the only person he could seek refuge with was Liu Yuan, who was also a Hu.

After Shi Le left, the remaining troops made an uproar. Some of them with ulterior motives left immediately with some people and the looted food and money, while the remaining people walked together toward the cities controlled by Yizhou.

Surrender turned out to be their dream.

In Yizhou, someone immediately took over the rebel army, registered it, or reorganized it into the Qingzhou Army and stationed it throughout Yanzhou, or returned to farming status, distributed field seeds and farm tools, and resumed farming production.

Taking down Shi Le's nearly 100,000-strong army without spending a single soldier, Lu Yun's methods finally shocked the world, completely eclipsing Wang Dun's glory, and making everyone in the world begin to pay close attention to Guo Xi, the powerful Guo family in the north. people.

Now that the four states are in hand, except for the distant Liangzhou, Qinzhou and Yongzhou occupied by Xianbei, and half of Bingzhou occupied by Liu Yuan, all the north has fallen into the hands of Guo Xi. He has become a force that cannot be ignored. A real power figure.

But everyone knows that although Liangzhou is under the name of the imperial court, it is far away and will never participate in the changes in the Central Plains. Qinzhou and Yongzhou are occupied by Xianbei and are also dependent on the imperial court. Whether they will obey or not is another matter. It has become a common rule that they will bow to whoever becomes the emperor.

Therefore, the north was already under Guo Xi's rule, and the only ones that could pose a threat to him were the Xiongnu and Han kingdoms established by Liu Yuan.

Inside Jiankang Palace.

Sima Rui was furious in the council hall: "What does Guo Xi want to do? Do you want me, the emperor, to do it for him too?"

However, the attendants around him are all illiterate palace servants. They don't understand the general trend of the world. They can only echo and say: "Your Majesty is the emperor appointed by God. That Guo Xi was originally the governor of Qingzhou, and he was appointed by the King of Donghai. Your Majesty is not the emperor." It is better to remove him from his post and send others to take over the four states."

Sima Rui glanced at the attendants around him with disgust. The slaves around Sima Zhong, the idiot, were actually smarter. Those around him who were promoted in a hurry just couldn't do it. They were too stupid.

Of course he knew that his imperial edict would mean that the southern court and the northern overlord were officially at odds with each other. Can he deal with that Guo Xi now? Definitely not. He still has this bit of self-awareness.

At this time, Wang Dun walked in and said to the guards at the door: "The servant is talking nonsense and bewitching the king. Pull him out and kill him with a stick."

Hearing this, Sima Rui's face suddenly dropped.

He despised these servants, but it didn't matter if his servants were killed by others, so Sima Rui said: "General Hussar, these people just said something to make me happy, there is no need to be too harsh."

Wang Dun was already very angry when he heard that Lu Yun outmaneuvered an army of 100,000 men without even using a single soldier. He had already scolded several guests at home. At this time, his anger had not yet been completely vented. How could he treat Sima Rui as the emperor? He looked at it and said sternly: "Your Majesty, please don't be too soft-hearted. This kind of villain It would be extremely detrimental to His Majesty to keep him by his side. The so-called good ministers should be far away from villains, which is something that Your Majesty must always remember." However, he also knew that this was a palace, so he finally changed his mind and said, "Since Your Majesty is kind, then let him go. Let's kill him with a stick. But if you can't escape the death penalty, let's change it to forty."

After saying that, he forcefully asked the guards outside the door to pull all the servants out for execution.

Sima Rui's chest was choked with anger. He turned his back to the ancient pine screen behind the throne and breathed deeply several times. Finally, he was able to speak calmly: "I wonder what happened when the general entered the palace in such a hurry?"

Wang Dun said impatiently: "Brother, I think it is necessary for Your Majesty to give the Guo Xi envoy a title. It would be better if he could marry the princess of the clan."

Sima Rui thought for a while and said: "I understand what the teacher means. It's just that Guo Xi is a branch of the Guo family in Luoyang, and it can't even be considered a third-rate family. Not to mention that now the entire Guo family has been wiped out, leaving only a few women. . If he marries his eldest daughter because of his little achievements, our Sima family will lose face."

Wang Dun was laughing at Sima Rui in his heart for not being able to see the situation. Sima Rui had done a lot of outrageous things over the years, but now he put on airs.

However, if he were asked to marry the Wang family and the Guo family, he would never agree to it.

In Wang Dun's view, Guo Xi was just a powerful leader like a meteor. Among all his subordinates, Lu Yun was the only one who made a name for himself.

But Lu Ji, the more powerful Lu family, is still in Jiangdong.

Therefore, he was sure that Guo Xi would not last long and would be like Chen Min.

Therefore, he did not force Sima Rui to marry him, but he emphasized that he must give him a title to temporarily stabilize Guo Xi: "In fact, although this person is causing trouble, he also happens to be blocking the Xianbei tribes outside the pass for the imperial court. He also held back Liu Yuan of the Han Dynasty and gave us time to run our business stably. As long as he doesn't betray him, it doesn't matter even if we give him the four states to run for a period of time. The righteousness is on your Majesty's side. Under the future imperial edict, I'm afraid He will fail internally."

It was Director Wang who proposed the title of marquis. However, Director Wang had too many affairs in his hands, so he asked Wang Dun to come to discuss with His Majesty. This also strengthened the relationship between Wang Dun and Your Majesty. ③Thinking ③Rabbit ③Net ③

Director Wang is a smart man. He has already seen that he and His Majesty still have a teacher-student relationship and have been together for many years. However, this younger brother Wang Dun is different. He feels that Sima Rui seems to be wise, but in fact he is a wise man. Weak and incompetent, they only want to live in peace and have no desire to take back the North. So he was quite dissatisfied with Sima Rui.

Sima Rui was actually dissatisfied with the Wang family, but what Director Wang was worried about was not the Wang family's situation. At this time, both the aristocratic families and the royal family were completely inseparable from the Langya Wang family, so he was not worried. The Wang family will suffer disaster. But he was worried about Sima Rui. If the Wang family was dissatisfied and wanted to kill the emperor, it would not take much effort.

Compared to Wang Dun's unruliness and ambition, Director Wang preferred to maintain orthodoxy and hide behind the scenes rather than turning the Wang family into a royal family. But his control over Wang Dun has become weaker and weaker.

Therefore, he tried his best to resolve the conflict between Sima Rui and Wang Dun, hoping that everyone would work together to develop the Southland well, and then accumulate strength to return to the old capital of Luoyang.

But obviously, neither party to whom he had put his best intentions followed his script.

In Wang Dun's words, Sima Rui seemed to have a little confidence. No matter how rude Wang Dun was before, he was indeed thinking for the court, and he even talked about a bright future, which made Sima Rui very happy when he issued the decree with his seal. I am happy and feel that the future is promising.

Finally, an imperial edict to create a marquis entered Yizhou, and You Hongyin, who finally escaped from Youzhou, was inexplicably given the title of Marquis of Guanwai.

He received the imperial edict respectfully, but then he threw it into an unknown corner. Now he went into battle in person and discussed with Lu Yun and other subordinates how to deal with Liu Yuan.

Wang Mi said: "My subordinates are not afraid of fighting this Hun king."

The cavalry he has now become more powerful and elite, and many Youzhou soldiers have been incorporated. You must know that the people of Youzhou have been in contact with the Xianbei people on the grassland all year round, and the soldiers are very good at riding. There are even many Jie people and Xianbei people among them. Or mixed race. There was no way. Before the world was in chaos, many grassland barbarians could not survive and came to the border. They were all accepted by the court. The border army even had a separate army organized by barbarians, thus forming a chaos between Han and barbarians. It is normal to leave mixed-race children behind.

Qingzhou and Yizhou may be a bit repelled by the fact that Hu people are treated equally, but Bingzhou and Youzhou have long been accustomed to it.

"It is not a good idea to fight with strength." Hu Wei, as the leader of Heming, has always been involved in this kind of thing. He knows the intelligence best: "Do you still remember the envoy we sent there?"

"But the person named Yu Kui who rebelled from Wang Jun?" Lu Yundao said.

"That's right. This person's talents are limited, but his eloquence is quite good. However, due to his status, although he has made friends with powerful people in the capital of Han Dynasty, he is not taken seriously by others. However, the senior intermediaries we Heming and I arranged for him are different." Hu Wei gave up for a moment and took a sip of tea. Then he saw his master glare at him and said hurriedly: "They opened the joints and Hongyan's caravan went in."

All those who are doing this are smart people, and they all know that the Lord has two espionage organizations. One is called Heming, which is responsible for collecting intelligence on the government, power leaders, etc., and his subordinates are all spies who are proficient in various assassinations, instigation and other methods. The other group is called Hongyan, which mainly hides among the people. They are mostly merchants, rangers and other people who are well versed in disguise. They are responsible for traveling around to collect all kinds of intelligence.

Now that the caravan is in, they can do a lot more.

"In this case, Liu Yuan will not come to Yizhou, Yanzhou, and Youzhou to cause trouble for the time being. He wants to jump around in Bingzhou for a few times." You Hongyin decided: "We will take advantage of this period to sort out our own affairs. , Now that Youzhou and Yanzhou have just been acquired, you still need to pay more attention to the matter of Han Dynasty. I will make arrangements with Shilong in the future."

This is also the rule of You Hongyin's team. Generally, the kind of plan that is above board and needs to be upfront is for everyone to discuss it together and make up for the shortcomings in many aspects. If other means are used, considering confidentiality and other aspects, it is mainly You Hongyin.
