Not only did the Pingyi Marquis Min Kan not understand, but many people couldn’t understand why all the princes went back, but the emperor only left Min Kan.

The chariot general Banden was wondering whether the emperor liked the old ones. Zhang Fen, the stamina man with outstanding image, looked at his new Jinyi, and felt very depressed. He didn't know why the emperor was so enthusiastic about an old guy like Min Kan, but turned a blind eye to him, a young boy.

They had little knowledge of young things and had no political acumen, but the Han Dynasty has always been a place where personal essence gathers. Some sensitive ministers have seen the signs from it. I am afraid that the emperor is not as simple as he is reluctant to let Min Kan down.

Gengkuang, Hou of Guangning, had moved out of the building and moved into his new house in Chang'an. This house was spacious and large, with a lot of courtyards, and it was worth a lot at first glance. The emperor's actions were generous enough.

Geng Kuang was good at socializing and was able to make friends with Wang Mang's cousin when he was young, which opened the history of Geng's success in Shanggu. Now that he returned to Chang'an, the capital of the Han Dynasty, Geng Kuang was even more like a fish in water. Although he had moved for less than a month, Geng's house was already a town, and most of the visitors were powerful people in Chang'an.

This Tianpingyi Hou Minkan visited his mansion.

In ordinary times, if the princes were all in the country, the court would almost guard against them like a thief, and they would have strict management. It would be difficult for the princes to go out to fend for a country. Once they had contact with other princes, they might be labeled as secretly conspiring. However, in today's Chang'an, this problem does not exist at all. It is normal for the princes to interact with each other.

Geng Kuang warmly welcomed Min Kan in, and the two walked and talked with each other. At first glance, they felt like they were old friends of many years. They never thought that there was actually a big holiday between the two.

When Bao Yong attacked Dai County, the two men fought side by side. At that time, Min Kan was very grateful for Geng Kuang's help. However, later, Geng Yan went south from Dai County to Taiyuan. Min Kan was sadly caught in the middle and suffered a lot of cowards. As a result, the two families turned against each other. Min Kan took the lead in surrendering to Chang'an, cut off Geng Yan's retreat, causing him to fall into Taiyuan County and become an isolated army, almost losing his life. The two families' ties were formed.

When Gengkuang also surrendered to Chang'an, Gengmin and Min's families were ministers in the same dynasty, and Shanggu and Daijun were neighbors, it became more embarrassing.

Min Kan came to visit and had some meaning to repair the relationship, because he helped him back then, and he later broke the other party, and Min Kan was somewhat indebted. Moreover, Min Kan had no relatives and friends in Chang'an. The one who was more familiar with Geng Kuang, who had fought side by side, also wanted to take this opportunity to find out some news.

After the two greeted each other, Min Kan said, "Your Majesty respects Geng Gong very much. A pillar of the country like Geng Gong can take charge of the border counties, protect the country's territory and share the worries of the country. Geng Gong left Shanggu and moved to Chang'an. Could it be that he was confused by the prosperity of Chang'an and forgot his ambition to fight on the battlefield? Geng Gong, do you want to be a rich man in Great Chang'an?"

Geng Kuang smiled and waved his hand and said, "I'm old! I'm old! Duke Min, I'm going to tell you that Shanggu is too cold. My waist and legs can't stand it. Chang'an is warm, I live here with a comfortable life."

"Mr. Geng is just five years older than me, so where is he getting old? If you are old, I should leave Dai County and return to Chang'an to retire."

Geng Kuang's face turned right and said, "Don't think so. The last time he chatted with Your Majesty, Your Majesty praised Eunuch Min for being loyal to the country and being the commander, saying that he wanted to use Mr. Min more than he wanted to use Mr. Min! Otherwise, why did all the princes leave and Mr. Min only leave?"

"Oh, to be honest, Min is also wondering why His Majesty left me alone. I believe His Majesty thinks Min is unbearable and wants to change to the prefect of the county. Min was about to learn from Gong Geng, so he also submitted a memorial to come to Chang'an to enjoy his happiness!"

"Mr. Min is capable and has outstanding political achievements. How could he not bear the responsibility? As far as I know, Your Majesty praised Duke Min more than once, maybe he would have to entrust important tasks."

Geng Kuang leaned forward and his voice lowered a little, "Min Gong, I think that perhaps Your Majesty wants to make a difference in Youzhou, and he may have to create a mission to the Ding County, the Puqi Cavalry of Shanggu, the Wuyuan, and the Shuofang soldiers and cavalry of Shuofang, and to guide Youzhou."

Min Kan's heart moved, which was exactly in line with his speculation. It was obvious to open up a battlefield in the north and increase the pressure on Handan, which was a good step. However, whether from Taiyuan or Shangdang or Hedong, you have to pass the high Taihang Mountains. The mountain road is too long and difficult to walk, and there are many levels in the middle, which is difficult to break through.

More importantly, the direct attack on Jizhou is basically impossible to attack. It will be known to see Tian Kuang’s strong attack and finally be beaten back. Near Handan, the Jianwu court’s military delivery and logistics support capabilities are very strong. It is too difficult to make a difference in the center of it.

Nowadays, the results achieved by Jianshihan are basically south of the river. Only once did they take advantage of the great victory in Luoyang to advance to the north of the river, but they were immediately driven back. It can be seen that Liu Xiu's defense in Hebei is so strong. Therefore, it became Liu Yu's best choice to surround Jizhou from Youzhou to the north. From Youzhou to the south, there is neither high mountains nor big rivers to be separated by a large river. It is flat and the terrain is open, which is most suitable for rushing and rushing.

There were thunder cavalry in Daijun and Shanggu. In addition, Bingzhou soldiers and cavalry, it was a very fatal thing for Liu Xiu, because his cavalry is getting fewer and fewer at present. In the battle of Luoyang, the cavalry he brought was almost bald, and Wu Han's cavalry in Huainan also suffered losses. Now, Jianshi Han has an absolute advantage in the number of cavalry.

Min Kan said: "Everyone in the court knows that Your Majesty is interested in the talent of the son. If you fight in Youzhou, the son must be the unique leader and will definitely take on the great responsibility. Min will congratulate you first."

Geng Kuang sighed, "The dog son had just suffered a big defeat and his spirit was frustrated. It is difficult for him to be entrusted with such an important task at once. If he wants to use it, he is probably a partial army and cannot lead the army suddenly. Your Majesty favors him because he is young and is both young, and he always talks about each other. However, when it comes to fighting for the country and taking charge of the army, it is still more reliable to be older and older!"

Geng Kuang said that, he didn't look at him, but just lowered his head to drink water, but Min Kan's heart was pounding. Could it be that Your Majesty would leave him in Chang'an and use his own battle in Youzhou?

Min Kan was not a mediocre person. He was not the official prefect of Dai County, but a local wealthy family. When the world was in chaos, Dai County was almost in a state of masterlessness. Min Kan contacted another wealthy family in the county, Shi family, and raised an army to separatist forces. He repeatedly defeated foreign enemies and maintained the stability of Dai County, making it a peaceful place outside the Central Plains chaotic.

Min Kan was very proud of his talent in commanding the army. At that time, Bao Yong's army was in a predicament, and the number of troops was several times higher than that of him. At the beginning, almost occupied the entire Dai County. However, in the later period, Min Kan used a trick of surrendering to take advantage of his unpreparedness to defeat Bao Yong in one battle and recaptured Dai County. The battle was also quite beautiful.

Therefore, although Geng Kuang did not explicitly say that the emperor wanted to use him, Min Kan himself unknowingly thought about it. After coming out of Geng's mansion, his heart was up and down along the way. He thought that Geng Kuang didn't tell the truth, the emperor would definitely use Geng Yan. Old Geng just gave himself a soul-stirring soup, and he thought that he was so talented, and he couldn't say that His Majesty would use it again, otherwise why not let himself go back?

No matter what, when Your Majesty’s decree comes, everything will be clear. So, should I write a letter to ask for war and tell Your Majesty your strategic concept of Youzhou?

After he left, Geng Kuang called his two sons to his side and said to Geng Yan: "Min's family is not willing to advance or retreat, so he may not be happy with Your Majesty. Originally, His Majesty would have used him as a general to lead the army eastward together. But Min Kan wanted to keep his family business in Dai County and let the court let him go out for war. How could Your Majesty feel at ease? In this way, you are the general who fought against Youzhou. When you are in Youzhou, you should take more precautions against Dai County. It is best to station there for a while and occupy the key points to observe the changes. If Geng's family has any mistakes, you can take the opportunity to do some work."

Geng Yan was cheated by Min Kan last time, and at this time he was a little bit gritted, "Min Kan villain! When I lead the army northward, I will need to attack and destroy the Min clan!"

Geng Kuang scolded: "Min is an official of the court. How can you let your marquises be granted by your Majesty? Don't ask Hu Xing to bring disaster to Geng!"

Geng Guo said in confusion: "There are many princes in the world. Dou Rong in Hexi is several times more powerful than Minkan. The princes of Jiaozhou are even farther away from Chang'an. If Your Majesty wants to collect the border counties, you can leave them all. Why only Minkan of Dai County?"

Geng Kuang said: "It's not just Your Majesty. No emperor can tolerate anyone separating the border counties. However, the world has not yet been unified and it is time to conquer the border counties. At this time, we should strive to fight eastward. To maintain the stability of the country's borders, we should not do it more easily. Dou Rong has great prestige in Hexi. With him, Hexi will be stable. He can resist the Hu people outside and stabilize the people inside. If someone changes, it may not be possible. But Dai County is different. If you want to attack Youzhou, you need to start from Shanggu. Behind Shanggu is Dai County. The troops and horses must go from Dai County. Last time your brother went to Taiyuan, Min Kan cut off his retreat. If he attacked Youzhou again, Min Kan still pinched his retreat. Dai County is in such an important position, and Min Kan refused to surrender with his heart and still had the ambition of independence. Your Majesty must take action. We just need to wait and see."

The emperor was dispatching troops and generals. He ordered Bao Yong, the governor of Bingzhou in the border county, to return to Chang'an, and appointed him as the captain of the Sili School, as a detachment. Bao Yong had basically integrated Bingzhou border counties in recent years, with remarkable results, but his military talents were too mediocre. Although he had powerful Bingzhou soldiers and cavalry under his command, he could not fight.

The position of prefecture and prefect is not permanent, but is only temporarily set up during special periods. Because this position has great power, a prefecture and prefecture holds the military and political power of several counties, just like a small emperor, and it is easy to form separatist over time. At this time, the court had already formed an effective rule over the Bingzhou counties, and the position of Bingzhou governor was no longer needed.

The infantry and cavalry of Shuofang, Wuyuan, Yunzhong, Dingxiang and Yanmen counties continued to go eastward and entered Daijun and Shanggu one after another. At the same time, the food and grass in Hedong and Taiyuan were also mobilized northward, and Daijun and Shanggu both gathered large troops.

The frequent mobilization of troops and food in the north is obviously a big move, but the candidate for the main general has not been announced for a long time, and everyone is speculating.

At this time, the Marquis of Pingyi, Min Kan, wrote a letter to describe Ping Youzhou's strategy. From strategy to tactics, he analyzed it in detail, and wrote tens of thousands of words.

This book was placed on the desk of Emperor Jianshi.
