Chapter 1322 1322: Borrow food? I’ll give it to you personally (Part 2) [Please give me a monthly ticket]
"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 wasn't that Zhai Le's communication and intelligence network was incredible, it was purely because Shen Tang himself passed the news through his incarnation Zixu. It's past.
How could Yu Hai sit still after receiving the news?
He immediately rushed to inquire whether it was true or not.
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 see for himself."
He handed over the secret message.
Yu Hai was hesitant and read ten lines at a glance, fearing that he would miss a key word. 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 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 manpower and animal power on the way back and forth may cost thirty or forty. Shi 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 for Shen Tang to refuse to borrow food, or to bargain and borrow less. The two countries were too far apart. This was an objective fact that could not be changed. He was not surprised that Shen Tang would use this as an excuse. , surprisingly they 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 did not want to struggle with this issue. It was best to borrow food, which would also greatly relieve the pressure on him. Qu Guo's participation in the melee itself was also hindered by many obstacles within the court, but he held military power, and those who opposed it There is nothing you can do.
These people no longer voice their objections, but they can secretly add friction to small details and express their protests silently.
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 grind down the work. If it is either a headache or a cold, it will definitely not be done today if it can be postponed until tomorrow.
The grain harvested last year 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 be delivered on time, but the final delivery time is stuck. Zhai Le is not a very patient character, and he gets angry every time he goes back and forth.
He held him to account, and the courtiers in charge of this area complained to him about poverty. The treasury was already under great pressure, so instead of resuming farming when it was time to recuperate, the Lord wanted to mobilize troops against the central part of the country.
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 even the government's tax collection progress is seriously slowed down. If the tax revenue does not 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 urge his subordinates to strive for delivery within a time limit without delaying the main task. If allies can borrow some, the pressure on the country will be much lessened. Whether Kang can borrow it is not something they should consider. …
The allies will find a solution on their own.
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. The current situation was already a compromise by the other party. 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 a dead Taoist friend will not die a poor Taoist, 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. The harvest of Qu State will remain stable this year, and there is basically no need to worry about this year and next. His mood improved: "Your Majesty, it is best to ask when Where to go to pick up the enemy? The news should not be spread outside for the time being, lest the central government takes the opportunity to cut off food supplies."
This is what worries me the most.
If the enemy sees ahead and blocks it, isn't it just to replenish the enemy's military supplies? No matter which food line Kang Guo plans to take, Yu Hai hopes that Kang Guo can tell the truth truthfully, so that his own side can prepare in advance. This is not the reason for the two sides to fall out. A while.
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: "Human hands?"
"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. 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. Containing 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: "Okay."
In fact, it doesn't make any difference whether to replenish the grain line or not. There are a lot of soldiers and horses to protect the grain line. Yu Hai asked Zhai Let to mention this as a preventive measure. When the grain transport troops and horses arrive, Zhai Le will be able to naturally take care of these troops. They captured the elite troops and pushed them to the battlefield. Whether they made great contributions or were used as cannon fodder, what they were fighting for was 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 the state of Qu. The state of Qu intervened because of the state of Kang. In other words, the state of Kang should be responsible for this battle itself. Isn’t it natural for the state of Kang to send people? All the elite grain transporters ran away. When we get to the front line, we'll fight as soon as they come.
If you go back, wouldn't it mean taking off your pants and farting?
Shen Tang really couldn't refuse.
After receiving the letter, Zixu, transformed into 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 many super connections, Xia Houyu has gradually learned who Zhai Le's close advisors, including Yu Hai, are in recent years. He must be cautious when cooperating with Qu Guo, for fear that Yu Hai might dig a big hole for himself. He was accidentally buried alive.
Incarnate 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!"
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, put it on his head, and took a picture of himself in the mirror.
Needless to say, it’s good to get used to using wigs. 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. I have more than ten years of experience. In 2017, except for special festivals where she would simply make a slightly complicated bun, at other times she would just grab her hair and make 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 is not even enough food and manpower to prepare for these days.
Or do you mean that all of Kang’s colleagues are really 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 helped me write a reply, just talk about Xiaofang's request. Everyone agrees to let him wait to collect the grain."
Let Zhai Le see Kang Guo's speed.
Xia Houyu was confused: "Two or three hundred people???"
How much food can two or three hundred people escort?
Your Majesty wiped 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 government."
However, the government office was opened by Shen Tang, so we 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 as 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 documents and arrived at the territory early without informing Yuan Fu County in advance. If the situation is not optimistic as expected, Miao Ne needs to contact all parties and further maneuver if he wants to take back control of Yuan Fu County. The top priority is to shake off the situation.
People, first gathered a reliable team, and then went to look for neighbors non-stop.
The previous director of Linjun was a close classmate of hers.
She asked her classmates for some letters early in the morning.
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 Na:【???】
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 are you——Li Wan!】
How could it be Li Junquan?
Literary scholar's memory was already outstanding, not to mention that she was an opponent who had had a group fight with her on campus. Miao Ne almost recognized the mature woman in front of her as her enemy back then. Thinking of the grievances between the two, her face changed.
Things have 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 timid.
Miao Ne can bend and stretch: [Can you change the location and see again?]
Li Wan:【……】
Their mutual friends also wanted to watch the show, so they deliberately did not tell Miao Nelin County who was in charge of it, but gave the spoiler to Li Wan in advance, hoping 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 hospitality 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 benefits, Miao Ne didn't care about her.
Li Wan helped with the preparations, and the originally planned seven-day trip was able to return in just one day. 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 and died in his previous term.
Once she takes 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 came with a light carriage and left with a full load. It was quite difficult for a newcomer like Li Wan, who had no family support, to have so many people.
So Gongyang Yongye asked: "Are you two having an affair?"
Miao Ne was shocked by Gong Yang Yongye's terrifying brain circuit, and said: [When I was a student, I almost lost her hand...]
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 progress of the subjects. Different grade students may attend classes in the same classroom. Students also had small groups, and there would naturally be conflicts between different groups. It was not an irreconcilable conflict at first.
, at most it’s grades or other trivial things.
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.
It hit Li Wan's right arm.
【How much hatred?】
[Students don’t attack lightly.] Miao Na felt guilty and vaguely remembered the cause of the incident, [She was the one who provoked me! Even though she is a student, she has actually laid a good foundation for cultivation. This injury does not matter. I don’t think so either.
Was she almost blinded?】
The sharp blade almost grazed my 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 people.
Happens to men.
New wine in old bottles 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 caused him to have no leisure and could only follow him in the dark, not far or near. Then, he found a lone man
, a character who shouldn’t appear 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 expect her to be just passing by and her destination would not be disclosed.
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.

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