Chapter 338 Youzhou is in danger
"Report, urgent news from Youzhou!"
Just as Jia Xu was worried, a player messenger broke into the Government Affairs Hall and shouted loudly.
Chen Xi, who was originally drowsy, woke up instantly. A thin layer of sweat appeared on his body. He was suddenly awakened while he was in a daze.
"Tell me, what's the matter!"
"The northern kingdom of Goguryeo has invaded, and General Xue Rengui has been seriously injured. Please ask the court to appoint a general to provide support!" the player's messenger answered loudly.
"Huh?" Jia Xu was suddenly startled and quickly recalled the layout of Youzhou.
"Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, and Gan Ning are still in Qingzhou, and Xue Rengui is seriously injured. So there should be Gongsun Zan, Gao Lan, and Zhang He stationed there. Why is there a sudden emergency?"
"How many troops are there in the invading army?" Li Ru asked with a frown. Logically speaking, Youzhou should be quite powerful, so how could they be so weak?
"According to Youzhou's intelligence report, Goguryeo has mobilized a million soldiers to directly attack the pass. General Xue Rengui fought alone to turn the tide, but he was seriously injured and collapsed only after reinforcements arrived. Currently, Goguryeo has a general named Yeon Gaesomun. Generals Gao Lan and Zhang He are no match for him, so they can only hold on and ask for help!"
"Goguryeo should not have resolved the issue of confrontation between the North and the South, so why would it suddenly attack Youzhou?" Chen Xi frowned and thought of something deeper .
To be precise, Goguryeo in history was a purely independent kingdom in Northeast Asia. Its people were mainly Buyeo and Mohe. Later, it absorbed a part of the remnants of ancient Korea and the Samhan people. In fact strictly speaking, it has no much connection with South Korea and North Korea.
However, in the game, Goguryeo was divided into the game areas of South Korean and North Korean players, and the two sides in the North-South confrontation were also a game between two real countries. It seemed impossible that there would be any action of raising an army to invade.
"Thank you for your hard work! Please tell the Dragon Team to pass on more specific information. We need to make some preparations in advance."
After the player left, Li Ru asked, "The only idle troops in the country now are those from Qingzhou and Jizhou."
"Although I don't know the specific situation, we must send troops to support now. I suggest that you let Qu Yi and Sun Ce move to the Youzhou area, and at the same time transfer Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Yuwen Chengdu to support Youzhou." Xun Yu reviewed the military intelligence and spoke.
"It's not that simple. If I'm not mistaken, the coastal areas should have also suffered a blow, and Sun Ce and his men may not be able to get through." Jia Xu shook his head and rejected Xun Yu's suggestion.
Xun Yu's main focus was still on domestic government affairs. He had more intelligence information and he was familiar with the intelligence of the country of Goryeo.
The navy, no, the navy is one of their major features.
I heard before that there was a giant Kun occupying the road in the eastern sea area. Now that Goryeo has sent troops to invade, I am afraid that the giant Kun has already left the eastern sea area. Otherwise, Goryeo would not have to risk its own life to invade Youzhou.
However, the departure of Ju Kun means that the eastern Fuso Kingdom may attack together with Goryeo, which is not good news.
"Hehe... It seems some people can't sit still!" Chen Xi sneered. He had already guessed what drove the two countries to attack.
It is nothing more than because of the so-called epic event. While other regions are hesitating about one event, the Chinese region has already completed three events. I am afraid this has aroused the hatred of some people with ulterior motives.
"Then should we transfer troops from Bingzhou?" Although Xun Yu didn't quite understand what Chen Xi meant, he still made another suggestion.
"No need. In autumn, the Hu people also have a peak period of blocking the passes. It is not easy to mobilize the Bingzhou army. We should transfer people from Yuzhou and Yanzhou." Jia Xu still shook his head. The Northern Huns in the north are a big trouble. It is more reassuring to have Lu Bu guarding Bingzhou.
"It's not appropriate. Yanzhou and Yuzhou have just been pacified and are currently in a period of high incidence of natural disasters. It is not appropriate to mobilize the garrisons in the two places." Li Ru looked at Jia Xu strangely, always feeling that Jia Xu was hiding something.
However, he did not intend to get to the bottom of it. Jia Xu must have his own reasons for not saying anything. There was no need for Jia Xu to deliberately hide anything unless there was a big secret behind it.
"It's difficult to mobilize the Bingzhou Army? To guard against the north? The northern barbarians? Could it be..."
Li Ru suddenly looked at Jia Xu in horror. Jia Xu noticed Li Ru's look and shook his head darkly.
"Then we should first dispatch Qu Yi, and at the same time transfer Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Yuwen Chengdu, Xiong Kuohai and others. The border counties of Youzhou have strong military strength, so it would be most reasonable for us to dispatch several military commanders."
Chen Xi finally made a decision. The people of Youzhou were tough and numerous people were willing to join the army. It was expected that Goryeo's million-strong army was gathered from all over the country. With nearly 100 million people in Youzhou, it would be no problem to stop Goryeo.
They just need to strengthen the upper-level power, and they should be able to handle the rest of Gongsun Zan. Besides, there is Liu Yu in Youzhou to preside over government affairs, so the situation should not collapse.
"Let's do it this way for now. Send someone to contact these people. It's a troubled time!" Xun Yu was very distressed. The Central Plains was clearly moving forward at an unprecedented pace, so why was there always such troubles?
After simply turning the page, Chen Xi suddenly thought of something.
"That's all for now. By the way, what are the emergency preparations for the winter in the north? If the construction of Jiuding doesn't go smoothly, there may be another heavy snow in the north this year!"
"As usual, we have thick velvet blankets, braziers... everything. I don't think it should be a big deal." Xun Yu said casually. They had already arranged this kind of thing, so Chen Xi didn't need to worry about it.
"I thought of a kind of building facilities, a fireplace and a kang. Let's find someone to build one for every household in the north!" Chen Xi said with a twitching eye. If they hadn't suddenly talked about natural disasters today, he would have ignored this thing.
It's true that the encyclopedia is useful, but without keyword search, he can't finish reading it. There are many things that he can't remember unless they appear in front of him.
Chen Xi explained it quickly. This kind of thing is actually very simple, and everyone will understand its importance after a brief explanation.
"Zichuan is truly a genius. This thing can save a lot of work for the north to resist the cold. Zijing should like it very much!" Xun Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head. Chen Xi always makes people feel powerless. There really are people who are born with knowledge in this world.
Chen Xi couldn't help laughing when he thought of Lu Su, who was shivering due to his natural coldness. After all, not everyone would wrap themselves in a quilt when it rains. The fireplace and the kang would indeed be Lu Su's favorites.
"Let's postpone it and first solve the problem of merging the villages. It will be much more convenient to build them together when the time comes."
Although he understood the kang and the fireplace, Xun Yu still decided to postpone this work. After all, the village merging proposed by Chen Xi had not been resolved yet, not to mention that for such a people-benefiting project, it would be easier to build it in a unified manner.
These tasks are not difficult, but the workload is indeed extremely staggering. We should save as much trouble as possible.
