Chapter 690: Hedong Jiangpei

According to Huangfu Chaobo's request, the Shadow Guard also made these families the focus of monitoring, but according to the intelligence reported back, these families remained the same and did not react at all. It seemed that the change of the governor of Henei had nothing to do with them. But the more they did so, the more uneasy Huangfu Chaobo felt, but the Shadow really couldn't catch them, so for now it could only be like this.

As for Hedong, the Shadow has infiltrated it for more than a year, and has basically figured out the situation in Hedong.

The northern part of Hedong is the territory of the leader Guo Da of the Baibo Army, who currently controls the two cities of Puzi and Beiqu and the surrounding areas. It is said that there are tens of thousands of troops now. The eastern part is the territory of Yang Feng, Han Xian, Li Le and Hu Cai of the Baibo Army, but when they attacked Luoyang last time, Yang Feng and Han Xian were captured and Hu Cai was killed. Now only Li Le is left, occupying the area from Fuze Duanshi to the surrounding area of ​​Jicheng, and his troops are said to be several times that of Guo Da.

As for other counties, there are only less than ten cities under the control of Jiang Pei, namely Anyi, Wenxi, Yishi, Puban, Fenyin, Jiangyi, Linfen and Pingyang. The other cities are controlled by complicated forces. For example, Donghuan, Dayang and Hebei counties are all controlled by local clans. Although they are respectful to Jiang Pei, they are actually a country of their own and only listen to orders.

As far as we know, Jiang Pei should have about 100,000 soldiers and horses. If all the soldiers and horses in Hedong County are added, there should be 200,000 soldiers and horses.

After listening to Shi A's introduction, everyone in the hall couldn't help but frown. 200,000 soldiers and horses, although the largest group is only about 100,000, once the Sizhou army is dispatched, it is inevitable that the cities in Hedong will resist together.

However, fortunately, although Hedong has many soldiers and horses, it is not like the Sizhou army, which has hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers. It is estimated that the real elite among them is about 30,000 to 50,000. The rest of the soldiers should be about the same as the Sizhou guards, or even worse. The people present are still very confident about the elite level of their own soldiers and horses. After all, the Sizhou army has been fighting for several consecutive years. And they are all big battles, not just suppressing bandits like the Hedong soldiers.

Everyone's reaction fell into Shi A's eyes, but he was only responsible for explaining the intelligence, and what happened later was out of his control.

So after a short break, Shi A continued: "Next, I will explain to you the situation of the surrounding forces of my Sizhou and other princes in the world."

First, the war between Yuan Shao and the Black Mountain Army, which has been very eye-catching recently, has now returned to calm. One side of the warring parties has obtained territory, and the other side has obtained population and materials. It is hard to say who will win or lose. This result is the best result that Huangfu Chaobo is willing to see.

Cao Cao in the east has been dormant, and I don't know what big move he has in mind. Dong Zhuo in the west was living a life of luxury in Meiwu with Diao Chan, leaving all government affairs to Li Ru and others. After Yuan Shu arrived in Shouchun with a lot of money, food, property, soldiers and civilians, he also temporarily settled down, and he was probably reorganizing his troops. Sun Ce took the jade seal that his father had exchanged for his life to Yuan Shu and borrowed 30,000 troops. Now he is training troops with his good friends in Shu County, preparing to fight in Jiangjiang.

Liu Biao, Liu Yan, Zhang Lu, Ma Teng, Han Sui and other guys are still very quiet now. However, since Chen Gong returned to Bingzhou, Lu Bu seemed to have been inspired by Huangfu Chaobo and was training troops desperately. It seems that he is preparing to send troops to Yanmen County. Liu Bei also stayed in Dai County honestly. In addition to training troops, he went to Liu Yu to ask for various supplies.

It was the last piece of news that caught Huangfu Chaobo's attention. Liu Yu seemed to be increasingly dissatisfied with Gongsun Zan. Moreover, it was said that this news came from Huangfu Chaobo and Gongsun Zan after they went out of the Great Wall. Some people also rumored that Liu Yu once complained to others that Huangfu Chaobo was the General of Pingdong. When did the court give him the power to send troops to the northern border?

Could it be that Liu Yu was really going to attack Gongsun Zan as in history? Thinking of this,

Huangfu Chaobo ordered Shi A to closely observe the situation in Youzhou and report any unusual movements at any time.

Although Shi A did not understand, he still took the order and left.

Seeing Shi A return to his seat after leaving, Huangfu Chaobo stood up, looked around, and said: "Everyone, how to arrange the affairs of Hedong, please speak freely!"

For a while, everyone in the hall fell into deep thought, and the originally slightly lively meeting room suddenly became quiet.

At the same time, in Wen County, north of the river, in a mansion in the east of the city, a middle-aged man was talking to his two sons. It was Sima Fang, the former Luoyang magistrate and Jingzhao Yin, who had retired to his home, and his eldest son Sima Lang and second son Sima Yi.

"Father, what is the matter that General Pingdong summoned the four county chiefs to discuss this time?" It was his eldest son Sima Lang who spoke. Sima Fang is now nearly fifty years old, and his eldest son is only in his early twenties. Because the current situation is unclear, he is not allowed to serve as an official. How could the scholar families in Sizhou not know about the matter that General Pingdong summoned the four county chiefs to discuss matters.

Sima Fang looked up at his eldest son and thought to himself that although his eldest son was smart, his talent was far beyond that of his second son. But it was okay, the eldest son stayed at home, and the second son went out to explore. Thinking of this, he turned his head to look at his second son, and saw a faint smile on his face.

So he said: "Zhongda, have you thought of anything? Explain it to your brother!"

The underage Sima Yi bowed and saluted his father and said: "Returning to my father, my son feels that General Pingdong just wants to take action against Hedong. In this meeting, whether Jiang Pei comes or not, he will He fell into the trap of General Pingdong. If he comes, he is afraid that General Pingdong will let him go. If he doesn't come, he will just stay in Luoyang and give General Pingdong an excuse to disobey his orders."

Sima Fang stroked his beard gently, nodded and said, "In your opinion, how will this matter develop?"

"Jiang Pei will rebel!" Sima Yi replied with determination.

"How should we act?" Sima Fang asked again;

"Father, call in the leaders of the families in Hanoi! The Li family of Pinggao, the Chen family of Yewang, the Song family of Heyang, and the Zhao family of Qinshui should tell those idiots that this time is our only chance. Otherwise, once General Pingdong pacifies Hedong, we will become fish on the chopping board and be slaughtered by others. "

"That's right." Sima Fang looked at his second son with approval, stood up and said, "Boda, please go make arrangements and ask several family heads to go to our Sima Family Courtyard in Jicheng in the evening in three days. "Remember, don't let Luoyang's spies find anything wrong."
