Jia Xu smiled slightly and spoke softly, but the words he spoke made Li Jue and Guo Si almost unable to sit still.
"Looking for the Yang family of Hongnong...to ask for food and grass?" Li Jue couldn't believe his ears. He turned around and looked at each other with Guo Si. They both saw suspicion and shock in each other's eyes.
You must know that although the Hongnong Yang family did not openly oppose Dong Zhuo like the Yuan family, both Li Jue and Guo Si knew that in fact, the Hongnong Yang family did not lessen the stumbling blocks and cause trouble for Dong Zhuo. Otherwise, this would
The Yang family's Wubao on the south bank of the river would not have been completely raided by Li Ru's people. What's more, Li Jue and Guo Si were also involved in the attack on Yang's Wubao...
It is enough that the Hongnong Yang family can nod and agree to pass the Hongnong territory without sending troops to cause trouble for themselves. They also want to ask the Yang family for food and grass. Even if Li Jue and Guo Si are shameless, will the Yang family be so easy to talk to?
What's more, Li Jue and Guo Si secretly sent envoys to the Hongnong Yang family before, expressing their willingness to respect the Hongnong Yang family as their master, but the Hongnong Yang family didn't respond at all, just saying "I know."
Then there was nothing more to come...
"Two generals, whether Jia's words are true or not, you will know after a try..." Jia Xu bowed and said, "...other than that, there is no other way."
Is there really no way?
Jia Xu said hehe.
It's just that the way out we are talking about now happens to be a happy one for everyone.
Even though Hongnong seems to be in a state of ruin now, the Yang family of Hongnong has settled in this county for two or three hundred years. How can there be no place for private storage?
What's more, before the government and the opposition fought against the Western Qiang, they continuously sent grain and grass supplies from Shandong to Sanfu. Hongnong happened to be the place they had to pass through. This didn't happen in a month or two, but lasted for more than ten years.
, almost ten days and a half later, a large amount of grain, grass and weapons were transported to Sanfu. The Hongnong Yang family controls many grassroots official positions in Hongnong County. Is it possible that all of them are free-spirited?
You must know that since the period of Emperor Heng, the government and the public have been extremely corrupt. Buying and selling officials is a normal phenomenon. It has become more prominent during the period of Emperor Ling. Even if these grassroots officials in Hongnong do not reap benefits, why should the county magistrates and township heads
Do you still have to pay for your boss’s offerings from your own pocket?
The conquest of the Western Qiang by the government and the public cost billions of dollars in various military supplies. A huge amount of materials passed under their noses. It is said that the Yang family in Hongnong did not do anything about it at all. Hehe, haha, then those large and small Yang family forts in Hongnong
, all fell from the sky?
Of course, Jia Xu knew these things very well after seeing the transfer documents approved by Li Ru. Back then, when the army requested supplies from the court, only 90% of them were left after leaving Taicang, sometimes only 80%, and some were even mixed.
They have to buy rotten old things, and then they are like this, and they have to be deducted in various ways along the way. Only one out of ten can reach the front line after passing through the third assistant.
And not only are the materials withheld, there are even those who steal good materials and turn them into junk goods, and some even withhold the wages of the levied laborers who are transported on the road!
The civilians worked hard all the way and had their wages deducted. Although they would not rebel like the rebels, did they not have some small actions? At least they must be lazy when they can, and walk as little as possible. They even need to do something at that time.
Liang Jun escorted the military academy to beg their grandfather and grandma, shouting hoarsely. How many kind words can they say to ensure the timely transportation of food and grass.
Kill one person as a warning to others?
Don't be kidding, these are all recruited civilian husbands. They are civilian laborers who are responsible for transportation between county towns and between one place and another place. They only have an employment relationship and no superiors or subordinates. As long as you dare to kill one, the rest of the civilian laborers are guaranteed to be killed immediately.
If everything is gone, then the troops, food and materials cannot arrive in time, and the one who loses his head will be the escort to the military academy!
Under such chaotic order, if the process is smooth, it will not be a problem. After all, the civilian laborers recruited are only responsible for the transportation between counties. They are like passing batons to the front line one stop at a time, which not only saves the civilian laborers the pain of long distances.
, it can also prevent local farming and other things from being greatly affected, but the civil servants responsible for allocating these civilians often say that the civilians are not uniform, or the last batch of materials they were responsible for transporting has not arrived.
Before the errand has been completed, the military supplies have to be queued up...
Naturally everyone understands the tricky nature of this.
Such a chaotic military supply requires Xiliang soldiers to constantly suppress the Qiang rebellion. But what to do if there is no military rations and no materials? The generals leading the battle can only think of their own solutions. So those Qiang tribes, or "suspicious"
"It's a Qiang tribe, so naturally it's bad luck...
Even if you surrender, you can't live well, so you might as well resist, at least you can live happily for a few days and fight for a chance of survival. Therefore, the Qiang people in Xiliang surrendered and then rebelled, and then rebelled and surrendered, and the ups and downs were unpredictable.
And among the officials in Hongnong, aren’t they all very fat?
Will all these buckled supplies be displayed on the outside?
Therefore, Jia Xu concluded that the Hongnong Yang family must have many things hidden in the valley, but they are just not known to outsiders...
Seeing that Li Jue and Guo Si were still hesitant, Jia Xu said: "Two generals, although there are disputes in the court, but the army is approaching the city, how can the court sit idly by and ignore it? Therefore, there must be an army coming... By then our army will
If we run out of food, we may be in trouble..."
As soon as Jia Xu finished speaking, he heard a commotion outside the tent. A scout, covered in sweat, rushed to the tent and reported: "Chang'an City soldiers and horses are dispatched! About five thousand troops are coming towards our army!"
Li Jue and Guo Bang stood up in a flash, their faces a little pale, and they looked at Jia Xu with wide eyes. They were not surprised. Jia Xu had just said that the imperial court might send troops, but the next moment they
Received the report from the scout.
"Wen He, you said before that Chang'an's troops and horses are not to be feared, what do you say now?!" Guo Si pointed his finger and asked impatiently.
Of course, it is not impossible to fight, but if they really want to go head-to-head with the defenders in Chang'an City, Li Jue and Guo Bang still don't have the courage.
Jia Xu still looked calm, as if the news he just heard was as ordinary as eating porridge with preserved meat or wheat rice, "Generals, there is no need to worry, this is the vanguard..."
That's easy to say, Pioneer?
So of course there is still a rear army?
Even Li Jue's face sank a little now.
Jia Xu seemed invisible and continued to speak slowly: "Have not congratulated the two generals yet..."
Could this Jia Xu have lost his mind and gone crazy? Li Jue frowned and said: "The armies of the government and the public will be here in a moment. Wen He, please don't joke..."
"Because the imperial court is sending troops, the two generals have a happy event... Haha, the troops and horses in Chang'an are under different orders, and the military orders are unclear. It only takes a little talk to disturb the morale of the army. It will be like a strong wind blowing against a candle flame, and it will happen in the blink of an eye.
They can be annihilated... When the imperial army is in chaos, the two generals can cover up and recruit them all the way, and great things will naturally happen... Therefore, the two generals need to prepare more food and grass, otherwise they may not be able to use it..." Jia Xu waved his sleeves
, spoke very casually, as if the incoming imperial army and horses were like dust stained on the sleeves, which could be easily swept away.
After hearing this, Li Jue and Guo Bang couldn't help but look at each other, and then turned to look at Jia Xu, who seemed to have done a trivial thing. Although they felt that what Jia Xu said did make some sense, they felt slightly in their hearts.
He felt a little calmer, but for some reason, even though he was looking at Jia Xu with a smile on his face, he seemed to be able to feel the coldness beneath his smile...
During the Chang'an Rebellion, Dong Zhuo did the first grade, and Wang Yun did the fifteenth. Of course, the remaining Shandong nobles, led by Yang Biao, did the thirty... Don't think that the ancient transshipment of grain and grass was just a waste of money for the common people.
