Chapter 1178: The Most Beautiful Man in the World's Road to Power (9)
What's more, now the people under their rule are all moving towards Gujiabao.
——Because the food was taken away by Gujiabao, and Gujiabao would keep them full for a whole year, but in the hands of the Jie people, they would have nothing.
Therefore, the Jie people cannot win against Gujiabao, and they gain nothing every time.
Forget it, Gujiabao's troops became stronger and began to harass the Jie people in turn.
In the past, the Jie people's officers and soldiers would go south to harass them from time to time, but now Gu Mo takes people to the Jie people's camps from time to time to poke them.
After stabbing and stabbing, the Jie people in Gujiapu's radius of several hundred miles were wiped out.
Some people ran away, and some became prisoners of Gujiabao. Gu Mo enslaved them for a while, making them build fortifications and do hard labor, and when the work was done, he let them go.
As a result, these people enjoyed the well-fed and clothed days in Gujiapu and refused to leave. They even insisted on changing their surname to Gu to show their determination to return to the Han Dynasty.
Gu Mo, "..."
What is this??
Subjugate the enemy's army without fighting?
Over the past few years, Gujiabao has developed into a local force with strong combat effectiveness.
They have even mastered an iron ore and coal mine themselves, as well as the corresponding mining technology.
Even the officials in the prefecture and county did not dare to confront Gujiabao head-on, so they could only spend money to buy grain and weapons from Gujiabao.
The Gu family is like a dark horse that emerges from nowhere, and its reputation in Yingchuan gradually grows, which also makes the Yingchuan family feel a crisis.
There are only so many resources in society, and if a Gu family suddenly appears to compete with them for resources, it's strange that they can tolerate it.
But because of the family's reputation, they naturally would not come forward to fight with Gu Mo directly, and would only continue to make a fuss about the comments that Gu Mo had received from the tasting master in Jiankang City.
It's a pity that Gu Mo doesn't follow the path of celebrities anymore, and he doesn't care about reputation at all.
She now has to rely on her own strength to gain a foothold. Most of the people who work for her are lower-class people, and he doesn't need fame.
And those who rely on the food and weapons in her hands, how can they not buy what she has in hand just because of their reputation?
This is why she is so high-profile now and not afraid of the aristocratic family at all.
As long as these aristocratic families don't take action, she will destroy one of them.
Seeing that she had no scruples, the aristocratic family couldn't help but take action.
But before they could take action, something big happened in Yuzhou.
The smallest regional administrative unit in the Jing Dynasty was the county, which was under the jurisdiction of the county magistrate.
Above is the county, which is under the control of the prefect.
Further up is the state. The highest official of the state is the governor or the governor. The governor has the administrative power of the state, and the governor has both the administrative and military power of the state.
Yingchuan belongs to Yuzhou. Now the Jie people suddenly attacked Yuzhou. Li Xuan, the pastor of Yuzhou, led his troops to fight back.
However, the Jie people had strong soldiers and strong horses, and the attack was fierce. Yuzhou was defeated by the Jie people and asked the imperial court for help several times.
But the imperial court was busy fighting among themselves and fighting for power and profit, so how could they care about Li Xuan?
Li Xuan was seriously injured when he was besieged by the Jie people, and he died within a few days.
His daughter Li Xiu was appointed to temporarily take over Li Xuan's duties when he was in danger. She fought with the Jie people and narrowly won several times. However, due to reasons such as food, grass, weapons and lack of backup, she gradually lost...
Seeing that something was wrong, the wealthy families in Yuzhou had packed up their belongings and prepared to leave the city with their families to avoid disaster. They had no intention of fighting the enemy together.
However, the dignitaries of the aristocratic families can leave, but ordinary people cannot. They will experience war and death wherever they go. They can only wait in Yuzhou City for the Jie people to attack, and they become just the two-legged sheep of the Jie people.
Under this situation, Li Xiu couldn't hold on any longer and had no choice but to turn to Gujiabao for help.
Gu Mo now has many capable and practical staff under him, and they all expressed their opinions on Li Xiu's request for help.
"Master of the fort, my subordinates thought that if Yuzhou was lost, the Gu family fort would not be able to escape, and it would inevitably become the prey of the Jie people. So why not send people to support Yuzhou and drive away the Jie people first."
"The officers and soldiers can't fight, so aren't we going to die? What's more, this is supposed to be a matter for the court, and the court doesn't care. If we intervene, we are afraid that if we really win, those aristocratic families will react, and Gujiabao will be the first to be killed.
Cleaned up."
"In my opinion, Yuzhou is close to Jiankang City. If the Jie people really attack, the imperial court will not be able to sit idly by and do nothing. We should wait for the imperial court to take action."
"The imperial court has long lost its fighting spirit and just wants to settle down in a corner. Since the Jie people have really conquered Yuzhou and are healthy, the worst the imperial court can do is continue to move south."
Everyone discussed for a long time, and after finishing all their opinions, they looked at Gu Mo.
"Fortmaster, how do you decide?"
Gu Mo straightened his clothes and said, "Gujiabao wants to help with this, and we need to help immediately without delay."
She raised her gaze and said, "It's not for the imperial court or the aristocratic family, but for the people of Yuzhou City and the future of Gujiabao."
These Wuhu people are ignorant, barbaric and cruel. They usually massacre a city immediately after conquering it.
Therefore, once Yuzhou is lost, there will be blood and rivers.
She didn't build Gujiabao to live in seclusion. The reason why she hasn't taken any action is just waiting for an opportunity.
And now, this opportunity has come.
What could be more famous than standing up to repel the enemy when the city is in ruins to protect the country and the people?
Although there is some thought behind the title of the picture, it is just incidental.
The real purpose is to protect Gu Ziji's wish - to protect the country and the people.
"But our gang cannot risk the lives of you and everyone in Gujiapu."
If you take out the knife and do it directly, you obviously won't win.
Gu Mo's eyes were firm and he looked at his staff, "It takes a thousand days to raise an army, but it takes a while to use it. It's time for you to use it."
"But it depends on the Lord's orders."
Gu Mo and his staff determined the support plan, glanced around the room, and found that Xie Zhao was not there, so he said, "Go and call Xie Zhao."
After a while, Xie Zhao came in from outside the door.
At this time, the setting sun melted gold and the dusk clouds gathered around. He walked out of the door with a faint brilliance.
The boy who is only thirteen years old is now a weak young man, with a majestic and fierce aura, like a sharp sword about to emerge from the sky, waiting for an opportunity to show off his fists.
Gu Mo said to him: "Take your people and send food and weapons to Yuzhou City. Tell them that Gujiapu will not accept any cents from the food, grass and weapons this time, and the people of Yuzhou will also receive three months' worth of food."
Xie Zhao asked: "What does this mean?"
He has been learning the art of war from Gu Mo, and every time he doesn't understand something, he will immediately ask.
Gu Mo said: "The Jie people went south. They had no defense projects and no equipment or food. They relied on looting during the march, so they fought quickly. They attacked Yuzhou City so quickly. If Yuzhou had food and weapons, strengthened the city defense, strengthened the walls and cleared the fields, it would be natural.
If we can drag down the Jie people who are going south, they will be unable to work hard in one go. They will be exhausted physically and mentally, and their morale will naturally decline. They will either have to fight with their backs or leave in despair. No matter which one, it will be good for Yuzhou City."
Xie Zhao nodded, received provisions and weapons, and went to the Yuzhou city gate with the other two aides.
