Royal Road - Chapter 250

[Chapter 249 | City]

“Don’t let Chen lose again. Your Excellency, it is not advisable to fight on behalf of the county again. Otherwise, the people will be separated, and there will be a famine in the spring.”

They didn’t take advantage of the fact that they sent troops to attack Dai County.

Because Dai County is located in Youzhou, but it is on the west side of Taihang Mountain. If you want to transfer troops, you must go to Junduxing instead of Feihukou.

Xing Dao was inherently difficult. It was a cold winter, and Duan’s Xianbei were mostly cavalry. It was extremely difficult to conquer Tuoba.

Worse yet, once the war begins, the people will flee to other places.

If it was a few years ago, even if Youzhou was bitter and cold, many people came to settle down.

But after Liang Zixi took control of the state, this place of four battles that everyone feared turned into a paradise on earth.

Many of the refugees who went to Youzhou changed direction.

People living near Dai County would not brave the severe cold to climb over mountains and mountains, and in all likelihood, they would flee into Bingzhou along the Yanmen Gate.

As a result, not only did they fail to retake their own territory, but instead they wasted a lot of lives, food and forage, and even the people under the control escaped, and they lost their money.

Rao is Youzhou rich and powerful, and has made a lot of profits in the past two years, but it still cannot withstand such losses.

On the throne, Wang Jun looked gloomy and said nothing.

He never imagined that this battle would end like this.

The gains and losses of Dai County are second, and the change in Yecheng is so embarrassing!

Who would have expected that idiot Sima Teng would be so vulnerable?

Originally, Wang Jun just wanted Sima Teng to put pressure on the imperial court and withdrew the reward to Tuoba.

In the blink of an eye, he abandoned the city and fled, allowing Yecheng to be captured by Bingzhou troops.

Hearing this news, Wang Jun was so angry that he almost led his troops to retake Yecheng himself.

As a result, before the soldiers were dispatched, the imperial court had already resorted to a plan of alienation, letting the Jie general under Liang Zixi guard Yecheng and the military governor of Hebei.

This time, Wang Jun was not easy to send troops.

Now that Yecheng has just changed its guards, that kid named Yi is also in power for the first time.

He is the governor of Youzhou, how can he attack?

Moreover, after fighting like this, Yi Boyuan will probably return to Liang Zixi’s account in eighty-nine times, so he might as well ease the situation and throw the mess near Yecheng to the opponent.

But such a decision still makes people feel suffocated.

After a long silence, Wang Junfang said: “Order Duan to retreat and guard Feihukou. After the spring ploughing, make plans.”

This is also the most sensible way.

Wang Ying breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could speak, Wang Jun said again: “Strictly order all counties in Youzhou not to use Bingzhou charcoal!”

Wang Ying was stunned: “Sir…”

Youzhou has a long winter, and it has not yet passed three years. Nine, it is cold time.

How is it possible not to use charcoal?

Wang Jun snorted coldly: “How many years of burning charcoal has been used, why should I buy Bingzhou goods! Do you think I don’t know? It’s just like Rui charcoal, how much food is spent! Now that the war between You and Peace is imminent, Liang Zi must not be allowed to Xi has to go to the benefit! That stoker is imitated and must not be purchased from Bingzhou!”

Wang Ying was suddenly speechless in embarrassment.

Not to mention the Youzhou nobility, even his mansion was replaced by Rui Tan.

This thing is really smokeless and airless, and the heat is hard to put out.

Just one pot is enough to keep the room warm as spring.

Although it is much more expensive than charcoal, which one can’t afford this expense?

This ethos has all gone to the account of the Xianbei nobles. Does that mean that it can be banned?

Change to the original charcoal, not to mention whether everyone can get used to it, but the merchants below will lose a lot.

Charcoal stoves are even more worrying.

The utensils produced in Bingzhou all bear the name of the Buddha, which is said to be able to detoxify and prevent diseases, and avoid the smoke-killing disease that occurs every winter.

What’s more, other people’s stoves are really cheap, and there are not no people who have made an idea below. It is really impossible to keep the cost down.

It’s even harder to stop.

But when his father said something, what could Wang Ying do?

He had to bow his head obediently: “Baby, do it right away.”

Seeing his son’s unwilling expression, Wang Jun was secretly annoyed.

At the beginning, he really shouldn’t have thought to win over Liang Zixi, and now he has a deep feud, and it is difficult to ride a tiger.

But in the final analysis, there is still a Jizhou between the two states, and it only depends on how to compete for the land of this state.

“General, the army is about to run out of food. Where are we going?” a confidant sighed sadly.

Back then, in order to attack Wei County, they took out their old money.

Armaments, food and grass are well prepared, just looking forward to conquering Ye City and having a fertile winter.

Unexpectedly, it took a lot of effort to bring down Yecheng, but was overturned by the people who were killed by Bingzhou soldiers and horses.

Not to mention grain and treasure, even the main camp was breached.

The leader Ji Sang also died unexpectedly, and now the head is still outside the city.

The complacent rebels immediately became the bereaved dogs with their tails tucked.

Fortunately, Shi Le gathered the defeated soldiers and pulled up a team of five or six thousand people.

But people are there, but food cannot be found.

If you don’t decide where to go, everyone will starve to death in the wilderness.

How could Shi Le not know the current situation?

His brows were furrowed. He thought for a long time before he said, “Attack Zhao County.”

Zhao County belongs to Jizhou, but it is very close to Ye City.

The command came out, and the thieves below jumped for joy.

The General Shi they followed was extremely ruthless.

Even a fortified city like Ye City can be captured, so what is Zhao County?

But the joy of those people did not move Shi Le.

Just because he knew that he was facing a dilemma.

The soldiers and horses under his command are really too few.

The mere five or six thousand people wanted to take refuge with the Huns, which was too shabby.

I’m afraid it won’t be taken seriously by the Huns.

But he couldn’t find any other way to gather the people.

He is a Jie, which means that those who can listen to his orders are all hustlers.

Jin rebels like Li Feng can join Gongshifan or a Han leader like Ji Sang, but they may not be dispatched by Jienu.

The best choice is to think of some ways from the Jie people, the Xiongnu, and even the Wuhuan people or the Qiang and Di.

But if you put it a year ago, this method is still feasible.

By now, it’s just a daydream!

Bingzhou has been pacified, and the governor of the state has the name of the son of Buddha!

In his hometown Shangdang, I don’t know how many Jie people voted under the command of the Buddha.

The Xiongnu rebels were emptied, and the Wuhuan bandits were also beheaded.

In the entire Bingzhou, there is no one available at all!

The previous Bingzhou soldiers shocked Shi Le too much.

He never thought that Jin would still have such a powerful combat power.

No wonder Bingzhou was able to defeat the Xiongnu and Baibu Xianbei in one year.

Compared to that iron cavalry, his bandit soldier is not enough to stick his teeth between his teeth.

It is precisely because of this that he never thought of making trouble in Wei County again.

What if they just captured Zhao County?

How to increase troops?

Swallowing his irritability, Shi Le made up his mind.

Anyway, there are refugees everywhere. When Zhao County is captured, let’s think of something about the refugees.

The most important thing now is to stir up more states and counties to strengthen their strength.

When he gathered enough troops again, he defected to Han.

At that time, he will not lose to that Bingzhou army again, right?

The shame of fleeing in embarrassment that day came to my mind again.

Shi Le gritted his teeth and made up his mind secretly.

Yecheng, he will strike again.

One day, he will also become a person who can’t be ignored by others!

“I heard that the rebels have fled to Zhao County?” Wang Ping was still thinking about the previous rebels.

From time to time, I will invite Yi Yan to talk a few words.

Now that I heard that the rebels had left Wei County and went to attack Zhao County, Wang Ping was greatly relieved.

Zhaojun is not far from Yecheng, but after all, it is the boundary of Jizhou.

Fight, fight, it’s none of his business.

Yi Yan nodded: “It’s going to Zhao County. However, Zhao and Wei are close to each other, so they should be in charge.”

Unexpectedly, a Jiehu could say such a sentence, Wang Ping couldn’t help but say: “The general supervises the army in Hebei, and you should be the guard. It’s all the counties in Hebei. Jizhou still has Ding Shishi in charge, and there is also the help of the king’s capital’s army and horses

.

It’s really that Yi Yan’s face is too cold and suffocating, and it makes people terrified to look at it.

After laughing twice, Wang Ping added another sentence: “Even if you want to fight, you have to add some troops first. With these

soldiers in the general’s hands, it’s a little difficult to defend Wei County, how can you care about the business of other states?”

Not wrong.

But what Yi Yan wanted was not just Wei Jun.

He said coldly: “Fu-kun, don’t worry, until the spring day, there will be 5,000 troops at the end of the army, and then some more troops will be drawn from the military households, which is enough to deal with the crisis.”

Hearing Yi Yan’s words, Wang Ping’s eyes lit up: “It’s so good! I have also invited grain to the imperial court. It’s not a problem to raise 10,000 people.”

Because it was Wang Yan’s confidant, Wang Ping was extremely generous when it came to food and salaries.

In troubled times, the more troops and horses you have, the better.

As General Yi said, if the rebels attacked Zhao County and turned around and came back, wouldn’t it be worse?

With a sense of security, looking at the overly cold and somewhat ugly face of the barbarian, I also felt much more pleasing to the eye.

Wang Ping said with a smile: “By the way, there was one more thing I forgot to ask General Yi. I heard that you haven’t married a wife yet. If you are interested, this official is willing to refer you to a relative…”
