Chapter 883 Appointing the Yizhou Aristocratic Family

Yang Hong lowered his head slightly, wondering if he was really wrong.

Going east to Jingzhou was indeed for the benefit of the Yizhou family, but Yang Hong made the assumption on the basis that Jingzhou would definitely be taken down.

Once Jingzhou cannot be taken down, everything will be a moon in the water, a flower in the mirror.

At this time, Xun You walked up to Yang Hong and patted his hand lightly.

"Master Yang is the heart of Qin, everyone knows it!"

"Right now we have a strong enemy on our side, and we really cannot accept the risk of defeat."

"Take Cao Cao as an example. It is only a matter of time before he eliminates Yuan Shao and all of Hebei. If Yuan Shao is not involved, Cao Cao will attack Guanzhong with all his strength, which will be a great threat to us."

"There are also Huns in the Hetao area. Xitao Pingyang is in our Beidi County. Once an attack occurs, they will be able to come to Chang'an within a few days!"

Yang Hong looked at Xun You with some puzzlement.

"Xun Shangshu, the Xiongnu were severely injured by Pang Junshi, how dare they come again?"

Xun You closed his eyes slightly and shook his head slightly.

"The Xiongnu killed and wounded tens of thousands of people at the hands of our army, how can there be no resentment in their hearts?"

"Our Qin army maintains a strong deterrent, and the Huns naturally dare not face up to Guanzhong. But once they fall into decline, they will definitely take the opportunity to attack."

"At that time, Cao Cao, who regards our Qin country as a great enemy, will definitely unite all parties to attack together, and then our Qin country will really be in trouble!"

Yang Hong was terrified in his heart, his whole face twisted together.

He finally understood what Jia Xu and Xun You meant, and he could affect his whole body with just one pull!

If Qin was in its heyday, it would naturally be fearless of anyone.

But now it is completely at the weakest stage, so that other forces dare not get involved, it is entirely due to the deterrent power of the past.

Once the war is lost, everyone will wake up, and Qin's powerful deterrence will disappear in an instant.

How to respond if all parties come to commit crimes?

After thinking about these things, Yang Hong realized how much trouble he had almost caused!

"Duke Qin, this humble minister is guilty!"

Seeing Yang Hong kneeling down to plead guilty, Liu Zhang couldn't help being a little surprised.

Unexpectedly, after the founding of the Qin State, Yang Hong was the first to plead guilty.

"Ji Xiu, get up. You are also for the great cause of Qin, how can Gu blame you?"

"Thank you Duke Qin for your innocence!"

With Yang Hong returning to the team, a crisis of dispatching troops was finally resolved.

Liu Zhang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Xun You again.

"Xun Shangshu, you can continue."

Xun You bowed his hands and took the order, and continued to tell where Yang Hong had interrupted him before.

"The first is to restore the formation of soldiers and horses in each battalion in the army. This needs to be appointed by Duke Qin himself, so I won't say much about it."

"The second is the strategy of guarding the pass. The minister will point out the dangerous passes one by one to ensure that our army has the right place!"

The civil servants didn't care too much about it, it hardly had anything to do with them.

But the generals all pricked up their ears, these responsibilities will definitely fall on their heads.

"In the land of Guanzhong, there used to be four fortresses, namely Hangu Pass, Wuguan, Xiaoguan and Sanguan."

"Sanguan is in our hinterland, and the Xianbei people outside Xiaoguan have almost no possibility of invading the border. We only need to send county soldiers to garrison these two passes."

"Hangu Pass has been abandoned to this day. However, the new Tongguan Pass along the Yellow River in Huayin can replace Hangu Pass and defend against the land of the Kanto."

"Wuguan is the most important thing. To guard the passage from Nanyang to Guanzhong, there must be elite soldiers and strong generals stationed."

"In addition to these four passes, we also need to guard against the coast of the Yellow River in Zuofengyi County, especially Xia Yang at Puban Ferry."

"The last is Lian County in Beidi County. This is Xitao, which is adjacent to the Hetao Plain, and is the habitat of the Huns."

"Right now, the Xiongnu have been severely injured by our army, and will not make any moves in a short time. But everyone knows that the Huns are not a stable group of people."

"These are the defenses in Guanzhong right now, please ask Qin Gong to assign them!"

Xun You bowed his hands, and then retreated into the team.

Liu Zhang immediately cheered up.

This is the first assignment since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and he will make the most reasonable arrangements.

After taking a deep breath, Liu Zhang called out the first name.

"Where is General Zhenwu?"

Soon a strong middle-aged man stepped out, it was Yan Yan.

General Zhenwu is a third-rank general, belonging to the upper-middle class generals.

"The end is here!"

"General Yan, I will leave the important task of Wuguan to you!"

Without any hesitation, Yan Yan immediately surrendered.

"The general obeys orders!"

Everyone in the hall was a little surprised by Liu Zhang's first assignment.

Although Wuguan is important, there is really no strong enemy in Nanyang.

In addition, Wuguan is located in a dangerous pass, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as the door is not opened to let people in, the front is very difficult to conquer.

As a general of Yizhou, Yan Yan's battalion of soldiers and horses are also elite soldiers from Yizhou, which also shows from the side that Liu Zhang attaches great importance to Wuguan.

Not long after, Liu Zhang spoke again.

"Where is General An Tong?"

This time, one person came out of the scribes team, and it was the counselor Zheng Du.

"The minister is here!"

"General Zheng, do you know the meaning of An Tong?"

Zheng Du smiled and nodded, with unusual confidence in his eyes.

"The minister must keep Tongguan safe!"

"it is good!"

As expected of Zheng Du, Liu Zhang is very satisfied!

"Tongguan is still under construction, and the orphan will dispatch five thousand soldiers to you! Tongguan is fully entrusted to you!"

"I obey!"

Once Tongguan is completed, it will be completely impossible for one man to guard the gate.

With Zheng Du leading 5,000 soldiers, they must be foolproof!

"General Yamen Gao Pei, where is Yang Huai?"

Everyone was taken aback for a moment again, they didn't expect even Yamen Jiang to come today!

Normally, generals at the level of General Yamen are not eligible to participate in the court meeting.

Sure enough, at the end of the crowd of generals, two figures walked out.

"The end is here!"

Gao Pei and Yang Huai are quite brave, and their personalities are relatively calm. As natives of Yizhou, there is no problem with their loyalty.

"I ordered you to lead the troops of the headquarters to Lian County and be responsible for monitoring the Huns in Hetao."

"The last general takes orders!"

The two didn't speak much, and after bowing their hands and saluting, they retreated to the team.

Although this kind of pure military commander does not have too eye-catching abilities, it is quite easy to use.

Especially monitoring the Xiongnu, responsible for guarding such things, Gao Pei and Yang Huai have absolutely no problem.

"Where is Zhang Song?"

After hearing Liu Zhang speak again, the ministers were shocked.

Finally it's the Scribe's turn!

Soon a short, ugly man came out from among the civil servants and bowed to Liu Zhang.

"Wei Chen is here!"

"Yongnian, Gu promoted you to the prefect of Beidi County and led four thousand soldiers to Fuping."

"The problem of the Huns, Guke will leave it to you,"

The prefect of a county is in charge of military and political power. Zhang Song is very satisfied with this arrangement.

In the next few years, it will be difficult for Qin to go to war.

Perhaps the only place where war can break out is in Hetao!

"My minister obeys!"
