Chapter 317 Northern Expedition Mobilization

The generals and soldiers present were all excited when they heard Liu Ye's words.

You must know that the Great Han Dynasty, whether it was the Eastern Han Dynasty or the Western Han Dynasty, adopted a tough policy towards the Xiongnu. ", the great general Dou Fan swallowed his inscription, but as the national power of the Eastern Han Dynasty weakened day by day, the 30,000 cavalry going north during Emperor Huan's time almost became the last movement of the Northern Expedition, and it also "broke the sound".

Xun You was a little worried and said, "It's not that I don't support the general's Northern Expedition, it's just that there is still peace in the country, and the princes from all over the world are stepping up to recruit troops. If the general goes northward with all his strength, there may be accidents."

Liu Ye nodded: "Gongda is right. The princes from all over the country have ulterior motives. However, the princes from all over the world are fighting for power and profit. I am afraid that they will not be able to spy on Guanzhong for the time being."

Jia Xu said abruptly, "Yuan Gonglu is afraid that he will be dissatisfied."

Liu Ye basically arranged tasks for the princes of the world, and no one would bother him if he did his own thing, but Yuan Shu was an exception, and he was entrenched in Nanyang.

Yu Jin smiled slightly after hearing this: "I don't think there is any need to worry. He Yuan Shu is so bold that he dares to send troops to threaten the emperor? What's more, his fierce general Sun Wentai has died. Our army only needs to stick to Wuguan. We only need 5,000 troops. , even if an army of 20,000 is in a hurry, it will not be able to attack."

Speaking of this, I remind Liu Ye that although Sun Jian is dead, his son Sun Ce may be worse than him.

"The land of Luoyang must not be lost. Among the generals, who is willing to sit in Luoyang for me to guard against thieves?" Liu Ye looked around, and then said.

"General, you don't sit in Luoyang, do you want to go out in person?" Xun You frowned.

"That's right, the Southern Huns are ambitious wolfs, and they are entangled with the two thieves Li Guo and others. There are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses. Naturally, I have to lead the army myself." , but to compete against a 100,000 army, the reputation is not enough, and currently only Liu Ye has the reputation of commanding the army.

Hearing these words, all the generals on the left and right were gearing up and looking forward to the upcoming Northern Expedition. Naturally, no one wanted to sit at home, so they all lowered their heads.

Liu Ye smiled and said, "Why, is there no one willing to share my worries?"

"The last general is willing to share the Lord's worries!" Hearing Liu Ye's seemingly complaining words, Yu Jin, Ma Chao and other generals hurriedly said.

Liu Ye nodded in relief, and after pondering for a while, glanced at the generals.

"Wen Ze has a calm personality and is a veteran general in our army. This time, during the Northern Expedition, Wen Ze stayed behind in Luoyang."

Yu Jin fought with Liu Ye at the beginning of his army, and his experience is profound. When he heard Liu Ye's appointment, he immediately clasped his fists and said, "Yu Jin takes command!"

Liu Ye nodded, and then looked at Xun You: "Gongda, you and Wen Ze will stay in Luoyang, and you two will take advantage of military and political affairs. If there are any important matters that cannot be decided, report them to the general."

Guan Luo is currently Liu Ye's headquarters, so naturally there is nothing to lose, so Liu Ye arranged for the most luxurious civil and military camp under his command to defend, and at the same time handed over the government affairs of the Luoyang area to Xun You, which is a great trust.

Xun You was greatly moved: "Please rest assured, General, you will definitely guard and shepherd the Guanzhong area for General."

"Wen Ze, guard Wuguan with heavy troops, and pay attention to Yuan Gonglu's movements."

"Here!"

After Liu Ye convened the alliance of the princes, he had dismissed the envoys of the princes, and Yuan Shu had no reason to stay in Guanzhong. Therefore, under Liu Ye's urging, reluctantly, he walked out of Wuguan and returned to Nanyang.

At present, there are only two people staying in Luoyang, one is Zhang Liao in Lu Bu's army, and the other is Xun Yu.

In Xunyou's mansion.

"Uncle, please sit down."

"Okay, Gongda."

Xun Yu and Xun You sat opposite each other, looking at each other.

"Gongda, when you were still in Luoyang, you had the intention to ask you to work for Cao Gong a long time ago. Unexpectedly, by chance, you actually joined the shogunate of the chariot general." Xun Yu looked at his eldest nephew, feeling quite upset. For emotion.

Originally, Xun Yu wanted to win over Xun You, but Liu Ye valued this elder nephew too much. He even entrusted him with the important task of staying behind in Luoyang, which shows that Liu Ye's trust in him is close to that of Liu Bang's. Xiao He is gone, it is the kind of relationship that is enough to support Gu, so Xun Yu no longer speaks.

Unexpectedly, Xun You wins over this uncle instead.

"Uncle, the chariot general is a hero, he is the hero of his life, he will definitely be able to establish Guangwu's career, rejuvenate the great man, the uncle's talent can be called Wang Zuo, ten times better than that of his nephew, why not serve for the chariot general?" Xun You earnestly said.

Xun Yu was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head, and said solemnly: "The chariot general is certainly talented, but his prestige overwhelms the emperor. As the saying goes, when the water is full, it overflows, and when the moon is full, it is short. How should I deal with myself? Although Cao Mengde's current situation is difficult, I believe that Duke Cao's achievements in the future will be no less than that of a chariot general. Don't forget General Xu's comment, Duke Cao is a capable minister in governing the world."

Xun You shook his head lightly: "There is still the second half of the sentence - the hero of the troubled times, the chariot general is the hero who can calm the troubled times."

The pair of uncles and nephews were loyal people, and neither of them could convince the other. After a while, they suddenly burst out laughing.

"Hahaha, I knew that my uncle would not join General Cheqi." Xun You laughed heartily.

Xun Yu sighed: "Now is the time when Mr. Cao is struggling to start a business, how can he have the heart to turn his back on him?"

Xun You suddenly stood tall and said solemnly, "Uncle, how about you and I make a gentleman's appointment here?"

"Oh, let's hear it." Xun Yu also straightened his back, and his eyes were piercing.

Xun Youlang said: "If General Cheqi can eliminate dissidents from all directions within ten years, Zhongxing Dahan, uncle and Cao Mengde will enter the court as officials, how about serving General Cheqi?"

Xun Yu frowned: "If not?"

Xun You smiled slightly: "If not, the world will be in turmoil, and it will depend on God's will whether it will be the chariot generals to protect the Han family, or the princes to change the country."

"Okay! When the time comes, no matter whether it is General Chariot or Duke Cao who will dominate the world, both of you and I will try to persuade the other to save his life, how about it?"

"It's a deal!"

The two hands were tightly held together, and a gentleman's covenant was made.

Xun You sent Xun Yu out of the mansion. Before leaving, Xun Yu turned around and said, "Gongda, is General Cheqi going to make a big northern expedition?"

Xun You was silent for a while, nodded slightly, and did not deny it.

"Please tell General Cheqi to let him rest assured of the Northern Expedition. Cao Guild will do its best to suppress the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou and rejuvenate the great Han."
