Chapter 13221322: Borrow food? I'll give it to you personally (Part 2) [Please vote]
"Is it absolutely true?" Shen Tang went to the meeting to confirm the loan of food, and Zhai Le received the exact news on the afternoon of the third day. Of course, it's not that Zhai Le's communication and intelligence network is so good, it's simply that Shen Tang himself passed the message through his incarnation as Zixu.
How can Yu Hai sit still after receiving the news?
He immediately rushed to ask whether it was true or false.
Zhai Le is holding a letter from Zixu in his hand: "Of course it is absolutely true. If you don't believe it, Gui Long can see for himself."
He handed over the secret message.
Yu Hai was hesitant and read ten lines at a glance, for fear of missing a keyword. He chewed every word carefully and paced back and forth in the camp, hesitating and murmuring: "Something is wrong, this is really wrong."
Zhai Le also felt that something was not right. Satisfied.
"...With such a long grain line, I don't know how much time it takes to go back and forth. The land route is full of dangers, and I don't know how much food is lost..." One stone of grain is sent to Qu State, and the manpower and animal power on the way back and forth are said. It may take thirty or forty stones. Zhai Le has carefully studied the grain transportation routes between the two places. Kang Guo may be able to reduce costs by taking the most important ports in the southwest.
Just, not much.
Zhai Le was also mentally prepared that Shen Tang would refuse to borrow food, or would bargain for less. The two countries are too far apart. This is an objective fact that cannot be changed. He was not surprised that Shen Tang used it as an excuse. What was surprising was that he actually agreed.
Yu Haidao: "Can't she see that this is a test?"
Isn't this impossible?
Other people are pigs, and Qi Yuanliang will not be either.
Zhai Le didn't want to worry about this issue too much. It was best to borrow food, which would also greatly relieve the pressure he was under. Qu Guo's participation in the melee itself was met with many obstacles from within the court, but since he held military power, those who opposed him were helpless.
These people no longer vocally oppose, but they can secretly add friction to some small details and silently express their protest.
These details will not lead to death for them, but they can make Zhai Le one head and two big. A typical operation is to deliberately slow down the work. If you have a headache or a cold, you will definitely not finish it today if it can be postponed until tomorrow.
The grain harvest from last year’s autumn will not be cleared until next year.
The accounts are done beautifully and carefully, and there is not a single mistake.
Zhai Le needs food here, and it will definitely arrive on time, but the final delivery time is stuck. Zhai Le is not a very patient person, and he gets angry every time he goes back and forth.
He held him to account, and the courtiers in charge complained about his poverty. The treasury was already under great pressure, so instead of resuming farming when it was time to recuperate, the Lord decided to launch an attack on the central region.
There is a serious shortage of young and strong labor in the country.
Every household lacks labor, and the burden of the fields naturally falls on other members. The labor efficiency of the old, weak, women and children is too low, and the government's tax collection progress is also seriously slowed down. If taxes don't come up, his side will naturally be affected.
It is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.
He also wanted to spare no effort to support the kings, share their worries and solve their problems, but reality did not allow it, and he could not produce food out of thin air!
All he can do is to keep urging his subordinates to strive for delivery within a deadline without delaying the boss's important work. If allies can borrow some, the pressure on the country can be much lessened. Whether Kang Guo can take it out is not something they should consider...
The allies will find a way to solve it themselves.
Of course, the Lord can also jerk himself off to the end.
Zhai Le would not do this himself. He knew clearly that the other party's starting point was also for the country of Qu, but some policies and strategies between the monarch and his ministers were completely different. It is now a situation where the other party has compromised. If not, the other party would not just be a foreigner.
Zhai Le heard the hidden meaning.
Borrowing food can, firstly, test how much strength Kang Guo still has left, secondly, it can also calm the domestic doubts and conflicts in Quguo, and thirdly, it can also relieve Zhai Le from some pressure. Adhering to the principle that dead Taoist friends should not die but poor Taoists, Zhai Le immediately wrote a letter to Zixu.
Zixu passed it to Shen Tang himself, and the information efficiency was maximized.
Zhai Le said: "As long as it's not a bad thing for us."
Yu Hai calculated the approximate time for the arrival of the grain team. If everything goes well, they can arrive before summer, and the harvest of Qu State will remain stable this year. , you basically don’t have to worry about it this year or next. His mood improved: "Your Majesty, it's best to ask when and where to respond. The news should not be spread outside for the time being, lest the central government takes the opportunity to cut off food."
This is still the most worrying thing.
If we are blocked by the enemy's insight one step ahead, isn't that just replenishing the enemy's military supplies? No matter which grain line Kang Guo planned to take, Yu Hai hoped that Kang Guo would tell the truth truthfully so that he could prepare in advance. This is not the time for the two families to fall out.
Zhai Le said: "Yeah."
Yu Hai added: "It's best to bring more people."
Zhai Le's hand that was about to write a letter paused: "Manpower?"
"According to foreign According to the intelligence information from the agency, the southwest will not be able to hold on... Shen Youli probably didn't take the initiative to mention this to you, and it's not easy for her to mention it. If she did, she would be afraid that you would urge her to send troops. There is no reason for us to help her contain the central countries. , she recuperated secretly.”
Borrowing food and borrowing people are all temptations, which will drag down Kang's national strength.
Zhai Le came back to his senses and added: "Okay."
In fact, it doesn't make any difference whether to supplement or not. There are a lot of soldiers and horses to protect the food line. Yu Hai asked Zhai Let to mention this as a precautionary measure. When the food and troops arrived, Zhai Le would be able to seize the elite troops and push them to the battlefield. Whether he makes great contributions or is wasted as cannon fodder, what he is fighting for is not Qu Guo's own family fortune.
This is an invisible cold knife.
Shen Tang couldn't even refuse the aboveboard conspiracy.
This battle was not planned by Qu Guo. Qu Guo intervened because of Kang Guo. In other words, the battle itself should be borne by Kang Guo. Isn’t it natural for Kang State to have people come out? The elite grain transporters have all gone to the front line, and we will fight when they come.
Wouldn’t it be better to take off your pants and fart if you go back?
Shen Tang really couldn't refuse.
Hua Zixu received the letter and said: "If I am a sane person, wouldn't I be tricked to death by Xiaofang's move?"
The food was given out, and the soldiers and horses were also killed. No more fighting.
Xia Houyu: "This plan definitely came from Yu Hai's hand."
Relying on a lot of super connections, Xia Houyu has gradually learned who Zhai Le's confidants headed by Yu Hai are in recent years. You have to be careful when cooperating with Qu Guo, for fear that Yu Hai will dig a big hole for you unexpectedly and be buried alive accidentally.
Hua Zixu touched his scratchy head: "It doesn't matter whose hand it is, the bait is salty and the hook is straight, don't be fooled!"
Xia Houyu said: "My lord, you want to refuse? ”
Wouldn’t it be contrary to one’s promise to refuse now?
Qu Guo will not give up.
Zixu chose a wig, put it on his head, and took a picture of himself in the mirror.
Should I say it, it’s good to get used to using wigs. Makeup and hairstyle can be changed every day. You don’t have to get up early and sit for an hour to wash and hold your hair. You can have different styles by taking them off and wearing them. bun. For more than ten years, except for special festivals where I would simply make a slightly complicated bun, at other times I would just grab my hair and make it into a high ponytail.
Incarnation Zixu has been asking her to shave her head for a long time, but I refuse to accept it: "Refuse? How to refuse? The food and soldiers have already been on the road, so we can't change the order overnight."
"Already on the road? So soon?"
There was not even enough food and manpower to prepare for these days.
Or do those colleagues in Kang State really think they are all right and wrong?
"So fast? I'm not happy. How many days will two or three hundred people want to grind?" Incarnate Zixu put the balm on his hands as a styling paste and scratched his broken hair, "Zikuan wrote a reply for me, Let’s just say that we agree to Xiaofang’s request and let him wait to collect the grain.”
Let Zhai Le see the speed of Kangguo.
Xia Houyu was confused: "Two or three hundred people???"
How much food can two or three hundred people escort?
Did the Lord wipe out the amount of grain borrowed from Qu State by two zeros? ? ? The Avatar Zi smiled and said: "You will know then."
At the same time, Wu You also answered Gongyang with the same answer: "Know yourself and the enemy and you will be able to fight a hundred battles, and you will know then."
"...I sometimes want to report to the government."
However, the government office was opened by Shen Tang, so he had no choice but to give up.
Incarnate into nothingness and he said: "Why report to the official? Hiring children is child labor. What should you call your age?"
Gongyang Yongye: "..."< br>
It was also unexpected that he would meet the Incarnation of Wuwu here.
This matter happened not long ago when Miao Ximin went to Yuanfu County to take office. Xiang Zhao entrusted his great-grandfather to Chu Shangshu. Without any worries, he also followed him. Gongyang Yongye could only move along with him. .
He had some premonitions when he set out on the road.
On this trip, he will be used as a free thug by Kang Guo Shen Youli.
Miao Ne brought the appointment document and arrived at the territory early without notifying Yuanfu County in advance. If the situation is not optimistic as expected, Miao Ne needs to contact all parties and make further maneuvers if he wants to take back control of Yuan Fu County. The top priority was to recruit people and gather a reliable team first, so he went to look for neighbors non-stop.
The previous director of Linjun County was her close classmate.
She asked her classmates for some letters early.
With these letters, you can definitely invite people to come out.
However, it is not as good as God. As soon as he entered Linjun, he was informed by Gongyang Yongye: [You are being watched. 】
【Enemy or friend? 】
【Neither enemy nor friend. 】
Nothing malicious but no good intentions either.
Miao Ne: [? ? ? 】
With Gongyang Yongye here, she didn't panic at all - Miao Ne didn't expect that the fellow disciple she picked up casually had such connections!
I got a slap in the face that night.
【You, why is it you——Li Wan! 】
How could it be Li Junquan?
Literary scholar had an outstanding memory to begin with, not to mention that he was an enemy with whom he had fought in a group fight on campus. Miao Ne recognized the mature woman in front of him almost at a glance as her enemy back then. Thinking of the grudge between the two, her expression changed again and again. It's hard to say for others, but Li Wan may have caused a stumbling block for himself.
Li Wan smiled twistedly: [Long time no see, Miao Ximin. 】
She almost thought she had seen the wrong person during the day.
Miao Ne subconsciously took a step back, clasping his fingers on the door frame and pressing the hilt of the sword with his other hand, as if a hedgehog had exploded all its thorns.
Li Wan did not expect her reaction to be so big.
He restrained his laughter: [It's boring, not like you. 】
The prickly head who was able to meet after school even though he had a disagreement was actually cowardly.
Miao Ne can bend and stretch: [Change the location and try again? 】
Li Wan: […]
The two mutual friends also wanted to watch the show. They deliberately did not tell Miao Nelin County who governed it, but gave the spoiler to Li one step ahead. After all, I also wanted to see if the two of them would fight each other again if they met again.
You can't tear it apart. Li Wan also received the news and knew that Miao Ne had a heavy responsibility when he went to the post. There was a master in the accompanying team who followed him: "I have already taken care of the people you want in advance." 】
Miao Ne suspected that he was hearing hallucinations in his ears.
Li Wan was laughed at by her vigilance of "showing courtesy without having anything to do is either cheating or stealing": [I joined the officialdom earlier than you. I have known what to do and what not to do in officialdom for many years, and I won't even make your mistakes. commit. 】
For the sake of benefits, Miao Ne didn’t care about her.
Li Wan helped make the preparations. The originally planned seven-day trip took only one day to return. Before leaving, Li Wan asked someone to pass a message to Miao Na: [The situation in Yuan Fujun is complicated, don’t lose your life. . 】
Miao Ne was almost assassinated and killed in his previous term.
With her taking office, the danger will only be greater.
Miao Na could imagine Li Wan's awkward look just by listening to the narration.
Gongyang Yongye glanced at the team behind him. He arrived with a light carriage and left with a full load. With so many people, it was quite difficult for Li Wan, a newcomer with little family support.
So, Gongyang Yongye asked: [Are you two having an affair? 】
Miao Ne was astonished by Gong Yang Yongye's terrifying brain circuit, and said: [I almost lost her hand when I was a student...]
The conflicts between students are nothing more than that.
Li Wan entered school later than her, one grade younger than her.
At that time, the college was small in scale and had few students. Students attended classes according to the progress of the subjects, and different grades may attend classes in the same classroom. Students also have small groups, and there will naturally be conflicts between different groups. In the beginning, it was not an irreconcilable conflict, at most it was about grades or other trivial matters.
Miao Na even forgot why he fought with Li Wan.
She only remembered that Li Wan, a school girl, was very arrogant and arrogant. Her self-confidence was inflated when she got a few achievements. Miao Ne deliberately gave her a blow. Even though she knew that Li Wan had an archery test the next day, she almost broke her body. Li Wan's right arm was hit.
【How much hatred? 】
【Students do not take things lightly or seriously. 】Miao Ne felt guilty, vaguely remembering the cause of the incident, 【She was the one who provoked me! Although they are said to be students, they have actually laid the foundation for cultivation, so the injury does not matter. Didn't I almost get blinded by her? 】
The sharp blade almost grazed his eyelids.
No one owes anyone anything.
Gongyang Yongye didn't go into details. He was just listening to the excitement to pass the time - the female queens of Kang State were indeed very different from other places. At least in other places, such stories of classmates' grievances and the disappearance of grievances with a smile would only happen between two people. Happens to men.
New wine in old bottles has a different taste.
Miao Na is gearing up to deal with Yuan Fujun.
Gongyang Yongye doesn't care what she does, but she is cunning and takes Xiang Zhao with him wherever he goes. This also makes him unable to relax and can only follow her in the dark, not far or near. Then, he discovered a lone figure who shouldn't be here.
The incarnation of Shen Tang who stirred up trouble in the southwest.
Gongyang Yongye thought she was here to clean up Yuan Fujun's mess, but he didn't want her to be just passing by and her destination would not be revealed.
He guessed that he was going to be a troublemaker somewhere.
The day before, the incarnation was sent away, and the next day Gong Xiqiu and his party came. Two to three hundred people were tired of traveling. Gongyang Yongye thought he was some suspicious person, but when he went closer to investigate, he found out that he was his enemy again. .

Shocking, I looked at the calendar, and it turned out to be 25 years in 11 days, my mom!
