Four hundred and ninety-four crusade against the Xianbei is the best policy
War broke out in Yizhou and Yangzhou, but Jingzhou, which was sandwiched in the middle, had not yet made a decision.
Liu Biao's power was not enough to launch a war. The powerful people of Jingzhou firmly grasped local power, leaving Liu Biao nowhere to do it. If Liu Biao wanted to be the King of Chu, he had to get the support of the locals in Jingzhou.
In fact, Cai Mao and others knew that the so-called riding alone into Jingzhou was just a nice saying. Without their support, do you see if Liu Biao can be the governor of Jingzhou!
There is no such good thing in the world. It is nothing more than exchange of interests. Leaving actual power in exchange for honor and leadership. It does not involve core interests. Everyone should cooperate with it. When it comes to issues involving core interests, everyone should try their best not to cooperate.
Liu Biao was so embarrassed.
If you want to be the King of Chu, but you don’t have the strength, your subordinates won’t let him do it.
Liu Biao was itchy and asked his wife Cai to go to Cai Mao and his son Liu Qi to go to Kuai, he needed support.
The result was not clear. Neither Cai nor Liu Qi brought back a clear recovery. Cai even persuaded Liu Biao not to be the King of Chu to avoid losing the demographic.
Liu Biao finally broke out and scolded Cai, which made him so hard that he was so scared that he was so scared that he cried.
After learning the news, Cai Mao's face looked very bad.
Liu Biao had no interest in exchange for everyone to support him, but now he bullied his sister. Cai Mao was very angry, so he made up his mind not to let Liu Biao be the King of Chu and let him realize who is the real master of Jingzhou!
So when the other seven countries were established through various methods, only Liu Biao could not establish a Chu State.
Liu Biao was very angry and said that the consequences were serious, but the masters of Jingzhou ignored him and instead used the reason for fraud to make excuses him, but refused to support him.
Liu Biao was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.
By mid-December, when Guo Peng straightened out government affairs in Bingzhou and returned to Yecheng slowly, many people had already wanted to ask Guo Peng about such a thing and see if he had a solution.
Forget it if one country is enfeoffed, Guo Peng is still legitimate to accumulate merits. What are the others?
I heard that some people didn’t even abide by the three words and three reluctances, so they couldn’t wait to accept it.
Yes, that's right, it's Liu Yao.
It's really ugly.
Isn't this a mess?
So for this matter, Guo Peng convened a meeting of prominent figures under his command to try to unify his understanding.
"I have also learned about this matter, but how should I object to it? How can I not be justified in the seal of the emperor, the emperor's edict, and the emperor's gift of the emperor? They are also granted by the emperor. If the emperor wants to grant the emperor, can the emperor's gift of the emperor still refute it?"
Guo Peng told everyone about his situation, explained his embarrassing situation in this matter, and said that he was actually in a dilemma and didn't know how to express his opinion on this matter.
I know this is not good, but as the same monarch, I don’t know what position to evaluate this matter. Should I provoke a war for this?
Guo Peng shook his head repeatedly for this.
Cai Yong, the most anxious, didn't know how to answer this. Should Guo Peng go south to eliminate these shameless people, or advance to Hongnong to rescue the emperor?
Cai Yong knew that these things were not something he should have interfered with, but seeing that the Liangzhou people were going to ruin the whole world, he really couldn't watch them.
Despite this, he just objected and could not think of a solution.
This kind of thing has never happened before, and the last time it happened was a thousand years ago. Do you have to find a solution from the classics from thousands of years ago?
Guo Peng asked them to come up with a solution, but they really didn't know how to solve this problem, and there was no precedent at all.
Although many officials also submitted a memorial to express their hope that Guo Peng could stand up and say something, what should Guo Peng say?
The emperor gave the title to him, and it was justified. Unless they were plotting against him, what would I do?
And Guo Peng didn't want to talk.
For Xun and others who were eager to make a dozen points of memorials, Guo Peng directly burned their memorials and thought that this did not exist.
Everyone was silent and didn't know what to do, so Guo Peng took advantage of the opportunity to transfer the conference center to the construction of Bingzhou.
At the same time, the staff station began to discuss according to Guo Peng's request whether it was better to attack the Xianbei in the Northern Expedition or to attack Gongsun Du in Liaodong.
That's right, Guo Peng has finished fighting the Bingzhou Huns, and he is about to start planning the next battle.
Guo Peng doesn't plan to waste too much time.
Guo Peng's reasons are very good.
The Xianbei people did not surrender to the Han Dynasty and repeatedly went south to invade. They had to conquer and wipe out them, so that they could maintain peace in the northern border.
Gongsun Du was similar. He did not get permission from the court. He established the Second Ancestor Temple of Han, established an altar in the south of Xiangping City, worshipped the world in the suburbs, used fields, managed troops, rode on the phoenix road, nine tassels, and feathered cavalry. He had ambitions and should be attacked.
Guo Peng gave the Staff a choice of two choices, so the Staff forgot to discuss the issue of whether to fight or not, but discussed the issue of whether to attack Gongsun Du or the Xianbei people.
After a while of discussion, the staff basically unified the opinions.
It is the worst strategy to attack Gongsun Du, and it is the best strategy to attack Xianbei people.
Everyone did not agree with Guo Peng's attack on Gongsun Du, but suggested that Guo Peng's attack on the Xianbei people.
The Gongsun regime in Liaodong was held for 50 years, and it was not unreasonable that it was not pacified by Sima Yi until the late Three Kingdoms period.
First of all, the Central Plains warlords themselves were the problems of the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu. The mutual enemy was the biggest enemy of each other. The Gongsun clan in Liaodong was not an important goal, so it has been ignored. This is an important reason why the Gongsun clan in Liaodong could last for fifty years.
If we say that we can be sanctioned, we will definitely be able to be sanctioned. The bitter and cold land lacks population, productivity, and war mobilization power cannot be compared with the Central Plains. Even if it is consumed, they can be consumed to death.
However, the Liaodong Gongsun regime explained the truth that as long as I became a piece of shit, no one dared to step on me.
It may not be appropriate to describe this place as shit, but in the eyes of the powerful, the land of Liaodong at this moment is still very useless and has no value or meaning of existence.
According to the traffic conditions at this time, even if Zhuo County, which is also Youzhou, it will take at least 60 days to arrive at the Liaodong battlefield. It is not because the distance is too far, but because of the existence of Liaoze, the territory occupied by Gongsun Du has a natural barrier.
There are a large number of swamps in the middle and lower reaches of the Liaohe River, called Liaoze. Later, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty made a headache because of the existence of Liaoze during the eastern expedition.
The carriage arrived at Liaoze, and the mud was more than 200 miles away, and the people were unable to connect. It can be seen how much impact the existence of Liaoze had on the army's advance.
This was even the case in the Tang Dynasty, and even more so in the late Han Dynasty.
Many times, dynasties were not unwilling to go to war, nor were they persevering and unwilling to expand, but the difficulties and obstacles that were invisible on the map that could not be seen hindered the attack.
On such a terrain, every step you take is a waste of money. The so-called cannon is lit and ten thousand taels of gold is too expensive.
Moreover, it may not be very good to win. Although the poor and remote Youzhou moved a large number of people due to the chaos in the late Han Dynasty, the large number of people was not only in Liaodong, but also in other parts of Youzhou. Gongsun Du's territory is estimated to be only 300,000.
For the sake of 300,000 people, spending a large amount of troops, money and food, and expeditions for hundreds of miles to seize a land that has not been developed. Isn’t this to waste the foundation and end?
