Chapter 13221322: Borrow food? I’ll give you my personal (medium)【Please vote for me】
"Is it absolutely true?" Shen Tang went to the meeting to confirm the loan, 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 could Yu Hai sit still after receiving the news?
He immediately rushed to inquire whether it was true or false.
Zhai Le was holding a letter from Zixu in his hand: "Of course it is absolutely true. If you don't believe it, Gui Long can read it for himself."
He handed over the secret message.
Yu Hai hesitated and read ten lines at a glance, for fear of missing a key word. He chewed every word carefully, then paced back and forth in the camp, hesitating, and murmured: "Something is wrong, this is really wrong."
Zhai Le also felt something was wrong.
"...With such a long grain line, I don't know how much time it will take to go back and forth. The land route is full of dangers and the loss of food is endless..." To send a stone of grain to Qu State, the human and animal power on the way back and forth may consume thirty or forty stone. 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 Hai said: "Can't she see that this is a test?"
This is impossible, right?
Others are pigs, and Qi Yuanliang will not be one.
Zhai Le didn't want to dwell on this issue. Borrowing food would be the best thing and 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 cause them to die, 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 were done beautifully and carefully, and there was not a single mistake to be made.
Zhai Le needs food, and it will definitely be delivered 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 mature 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 and solve their problems, but reality did not allow it. 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 solution themselves.
Of course, the Lord can also push himself 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 extremely high.
Zhai Le said: "As long as it's not a bad thing for us."
Yu Hai calculated the approximate time when the grain team would arrive. If everything went well, they would be able to arrive before summer. Qu State's harvest would remain stable this year, and there would be little need to worry about this year and 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 what worries me the most.
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 the intelligence information from external agencies, Southwest will not be able to hold on anymore... 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 contain her. In the central countries, she secretly recuperated."
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 with a pen: "Okay."
In fact, it doesn't make any difference whether to replenish or not. It takes 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.
If you go back, wouldn't it mean that you took off your pants and farted?
Shen Tang really couldn't refuse.
After receiving the letter, the incarnation Zixu tutted: "As long as I'm 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 killed.
Xia Houyu: "This plan definitely came from Yu Hai's hand."
Relying on his many super connections, Xia Houyu gradually learned who Zhai Le's close advisors, including Yu Hai, were over the 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.
Transformed into Zixu, he 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!"
Xiahou Yu said: "My lord, do 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 and put it on his head, taking a picture of himself in the mirror.
Needless to say, wigs are very good once you get used to them. You can change your makeup and hairstyle every day. You don’t have to get up early and sit for an hour to wash and tie your hair. You can have different styles of buns by taking them off and wearing them. 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, which would make me look like a girl.
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 you mean that Kang Guo’s colleagues are all right and wrong?
"So fast? It's not fast. How many days do two or three hundred people want to grind away?" Incarnate Zixu put the balm on his hands as a styling paste and scratched his broken hair, "Zikuan wrote a letter for me to reply, just talk about Xiaofang's request. They all agreed to let him wait to collect the grain."
Let Zhai Le see Kang Guo's speed.
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 smiled faintly and said, "We'll know when the time comes."
At the same time, Wu You also answered the same answer as Gong Yang: "Know yourself and your enemy and you can fight a hundred battles. You will know by then."
"...I sometimes want to report to the official."
However, the government office was opened by Shen Tang, so he had no choice but to give up.
He turned into nothing and said: "Why report to the official? Hiring children is child labor. What should you call your age?"
Gongyang Yongye: “…”
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.
During 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 Yuan Fujun and the county government 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 was a good classmate of hers.
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, Gongyang Yongye told him a piece of news: [You are being watched. 】
[Enemy or friend? 】
【Neither enemy nor friend. 】
Nothing malicious but no kindness 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!
It was 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 she was an enemy with whom she 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's smile twisted: [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 didn't expect her to react so strongly.
He restrained his laughter: [It's boring, not like you. 】
The thorny head who could meet after school even if they disagreed was actually cowed.
Miao Ne is flexible and flexible: [Can you change the location and see again? 】
Li Wan: […]
Their 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 Wan in advance. They also wanted to see if the two would quarrel 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 his ears were hallucinating.
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 the officialdom for many years. Even if you make mistakes, I will not make them. 】
For the sake of benefit, Miao Ne didn't care about her.
Li Wan helped with the preparations, and the originally planned seven-day trip took only one day to return. Before leaving, Li Wan had someone pass a message to Miao Na: [The situation in Yuan Fu County is complicated, don't lose your life. 】
Miao Ne was almost assassinated 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. When he arrived, he was traveling in a light vehicle, but when he left, he was returning home with a full load. It was quite difficult for a newcomer like Li Wan, who had little support from his family, to have so many people.
So Gongyang Yongye asked: "Are you two having an affair?" 】
Miao Ne was astonished by Gong Yang Yongye's terrifying brain circuitry, and said sarcastically: [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 and had few students. Students attended classes according to the subject progress, 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 strike lightly or harshly. 】Miao Ne felt guilty, vaguely remembering the cause of the incident, 【She was the one who provoked me! Even though he is a student, he has actually laid a good foundation for cultivation, so his injuries will not be a problem. Didn't I almost get blinded by her? 】
The sharp blade almost grazed his eyelids.
It's half a pound, and no one owes anyone.
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 men. happen to you.
New wine in old bottles also has a different taste.
Miao Na was gearing up to deal with Yuan Fujun.
Gongyang Yongye didn't care what she did, but she was cunning and had to take Xiang Zhao with him wherever he went. This also made him unable to relax and could only follow her in the dark, not far or close. 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 gone, and the next day Gong Xiqiu and his entourage 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.

It’s shocking. I looked at the calendar and saw that it will be 25 years in 11 days. Oh my god!
