"how's it going?"

That night, when Qianhun returned to his temporary residence, he faced the inquiries of several Yuwen people, who were all blood relatives close to Yuwen Yidougui.

After all, it was discussing the matter of joining the clan, and there were still opponents in the clan. How could Yuwen Yidougui be relieved that Mo Qianhun was responsible alone? If he could come here in person, he might have been here. However, considering the issues of security and power control, he did not dare to leave the clan after all, so he only sent close people to supervise.

There was a man named Yuwen Kai in the bloodline of Yuwen who was considered the leader. He listened to everyone's discussion and immediately suppressed the chaos. He came to Mo Qianhun and asked politely: "Sir, will General Zhengbei have a reply? Are you willing to let us station in the hinterland of Pingzhou?"

"The specific stationing issue has not been discussed yet." Facing the inquiry, Mo Qiankun thought about it for a moment and said with a key point: "General Zhengbei has not really agreed to our request, and it is not yet time to discuss where to station."

"Didn't agree?" Yu Wenkai became worried, "You have been in there for a few hours and have been talking for so long. I thought there was a finalization, but I didn't expect that I didn't agree. Could it be that I was unwilling to do this? What should we do? We migrated all the way, and we didn't bring many cattle and sheep. The east is barren and it's not easy to rob. It's okay now. If it's winter, I don't know how many people will die!"

Mo Qianhun quickly comforted: "Don't worry so much. The Han family will definitely not be so straightforward in their work. They have to consider too much. Moreover, General Chen also invited me to have dinner with him. It seems that he was willing to absorb me and wait, but he still had to put forward some conditions. I will prepare for it next time."

When he heard that Chen Zhi invited Mo Qianhun to dinner, many people, including Yuwen Kai, showed envy.

"General Chen is a hero. He can eat with you at the same table, obviously he respects our Yuwen Department!" Yuwen Kai's face improved, "Aren't the leaders of Duan Department often invited by Wang Jun? This is a good sign."

One sentence calmed everyone's anxiety and uneasiness, Yuwen Kai asked Mo Qianhun again: "In your opinion, since there is still a calculation, how long will it take to settle down? My nephew is in the east of Pingzhou, which is the most bitter and cold place. Every extra day will be tormenting the tribe. If he can settle down as soon as possible and let him lead his people to the hinterland of Pingzhou, he will be safe. If he really delays it until winter, it will be bad."

"This matter is really hard to say, and..." Mo Qianhun hesitated for a moment, but thinking that Chen Zhi's attitude today could not be hidden, so he still reminded him a little: "From General Zhengbei's words, even if he finally agreed, we may have to pay a little price. He may make a big fuss in listening to the order."

"How can I tell?" Yuwen frowned, "There is no room for action?"

"We must fight for it!" Mo Qianhun said, with a serious expression. "I think the opportunity is quite great. First, there is a seventh-rank Xianbei here, which means that General Zhengbei is willing to use the power of other clans when his troops are insufficient. Second, Pingzhou is in chaos, and the power of the Murong tribe, the power of the court, and even our tribe and that division are full of them. In addition, many small tribes, the situation is complicated. To sort it out clearly, General Zhengbei must have a helper. As long as he fights, General Zhengbei is very likely to agree."

"That's good." Yuwen Kai finally felt relieved, but couldn't laugh. "We have to fight for it, it's best to occupy a piece of land in central Pingzhou. In this way, even if the General of the North Envoy needs to control his troops and have Murong's troops in the northwest of Pingzhou as an excuse, we can delay and delay. There is no need to worry about not meeting Murong."

Mo Qianhun nodded and said, "That's right, my goal this time is in the central part of Pingzhou. Too west and close to Youzhou, then it will be completely controlled. If it goes too east, it will be barren and poor. In the past, I don't know how many tribes migrated from there, how can they return? Let Duan tribes become kings and domineering there, and I'm sure General Chen would not be assured to put us too close to him."

When Yuwen Kai heard this, he finally laughed and praised: "You are still thoughtful!"

The two of them were talking, while Chen Zhi was listening to Zhang Kang's advice.

"The Hu people like Yuwen's Ministry are already capricious, and surrendering and rebelling again are like eating and drinking water for them." Zhang Kang looked loyal to the country. "I heard that the general was in danger in Shanggutun City before. The two Hu chiefs of the seventh-rank Xianbei just saw that the situation was not good, so they fled first, and then led the army. They clearly had some plans. What about the seventh-rank Xianbei, let alone the Yuwen Xianbei with a deep foundation? The general should not be fooled by these Hu people."

Chen Zhi listened, just nodded without responding. After a while, he asked Yang Yuan without saying a word: "Yang Jun seems to have something to say, but he also wants to persuade me?"

Yang Yuan hesitated for a moment and nodded, "The Yuwen Xianbei and the seventh rank are different surnames. The seventh rank are combined by generals. They are unstable. The big and small tribes are originally big and big tribes, each with their interests, restraining and balancing each other. However, the Yuwen tribe is different. Wang Jun was defeated, and Duan tribe and Yuwen tribe fled eastward. Their troops were not attacked by the Dai County headquarters. Instead, they had conflicts with the garrison under Wang Jun and were robbed by all directions, which was damaged. In fact, their vitality is still there. The reason for being so depressed is that the sequelae of besieging Murong tribe has not yet been neatly improved, which leads to retreat. They should not tolerate traitors, and they should not be despised."

After saying that, both of them were looking at Chen Zhi.

"I know what you mean," Chen Zhi stood up, "Yuwen's request is more about fighting for living space for himself and seeking stability. But in other words, even if I don't promise them and don't agree to their request, will they not survive? Just as you said, the vitality of the Yuwen's department has not been damaged. I don't agree, but I just lost supervision of them and let them go. Maybe they will join forces with others, but the interesting part here is that they sent people, not Yuwen Qide, but Yuwen Yidougui, which has the opportunity and space to squeeze."

Yang Yuan and Zhang Kang probably guessed Chen Zhi’s plan.

Chen Zhi said: "It is not something that cannot be tolerated to bring Yuwen's department into the system. After all, we beat them away, not the other way around. Besides, the situation in Pingzhou is complicated. In a short period of time, I don't want to use the east as the direction of expansion. I still have to develop Youzhou with peace of mind. Since we want to develop, someone has to do something outside. This is enough. There is also a reason and an excuse to send troops to take over naturally. The Yuwen's department feels that I have calculated my thoughts, but I don't know that I have not seen the general trend."

As he was talking, Chen Zhi suddenly felt aroused in his heart.

He suddenly realized that if Youzhou wants to develop and stabilize, the surrounding area needs to take advantage of the situation and have peripheral organizations as an auxiliary. If Yuwen surrenders, Pingzhou in the east has a focus, and there is no need to say much about the north. The seventh-rank meaning is fundamentally the peripheral guards shaped by Chen Zhi.

But what about the south and west?

Speaking of the south, he immediately thought of the few people sent by Zuti, as for the west...

"I heard that Liu Yao went north to the grassland and contacted Rouran. Rouran was also famous in history books. I wonder what Liu Cong, the Huns king, had thoughts."

Thinking of this, the general strategy for the next five years has already taken shape in Chen Zhi's mind.
