Shi Le received Yuan Yan quite warmly. Especially after knowing that Yuan Yan solved the problem of mutual trading between himself and Liu Tai, Shi Le became even more enthusiastic towards Yuan Yan.
He was taken care of by Yuan Yan with good food and drink, and he was afraid of neglecting him, especially when Zhang Bin reminded him, he dispatched an army of 500 people to show his devotion to Yuan Yan.
For Yuan Yan, who lacked strength, this kind of power was exactly what he needed urgently, so he happily accepted it.
It wasn't until Yuan Yan left to go to Anping County to start business that Shi Le said with a serious look:
"This Yuan Yan is truly worthy of being the one who caused your Majesty to suffer great losses. He can persuade Liu Tai to trade with us.
We didn’t expect that Liu Tai, despite being young and vigorous, would actually agree to this proposal. Youhou, I’m afraid this Liu Huben will be a serious problem for us!”
"But at least Wang Jun is not defeated, the general still needs to cooperate more with Liu Tai!"
Zhang Bin said calmly, "And we really need Qingzhou's salt very much. At least until we find a way to obtain enough salt-producing land, this mutual trade may not be interrupted in a short time!"
It must be said here that the importance of ancient table salt may be more important than the importance of modern table salt.
Because ancient salt is not only eaten to make people or warriors more powerful.
If Nanpi City's guard is lax and Gao Yue seizes the opportunity, he will definitely miss that opportunity!"
More importantly, salt plays a role in preserving items, just like fresh vegetables. Even noble families do not expect to eat them every day. The most common side dish is salted vegetables.
"You know!" Wang Ti nodded after hearing Liu Tai's words.
As the battle between Qi Hong and Ge Hong comes to an end, you must first obtain what you need to obtain!"
Although I don't admire Shi Le's broad-mindedness at this moment, I can't help but feel a little bit "How can I become a thief when I am a beautiful woman?"
Everyone looked at the letter sent by Yin Hong, and Gou Xi came out and said: "Wang Ti, as a general of the Xiongnu and Han Dynasty, is lying next to the general at this moment, and he is sending flattering words. He is afraid that he has no intention of provoking a fight between the general and Shi Le, so why not?"
Please be considerate, little general!"
Just when Gou Xi calmed down her thoughts, the Protector Wang Chang stood up and said:
Ge Hong's staff also received the report from Wang Ti to Ge Hong from the guards. Listening to Ge Hong's condition of choosing one of the seven, everyone who can get along with Yin Hong is a human being.
Jing, I understood what Yin Hong meant in an instant.
Of course, the most important thing is that the river freezes in the cold winter, which makes it easier for your cavalry to maximize their advantage.
"General Qi Hong is still entangled with your army now. Your army needs to complete the finishing touches. At the same time, the autumn harvest is coming, and you also need manpower to harvest the food.
Even the news was passed to the neighboring Sizhou on the initiative of Liu Kun.
"The prescription of the medicine is a perfect combination, the yin and yang complement each other, and the medicinal properties are neutral and neutral. It can be used to deal with abnormal plagues, but a little or a lot will have no effect.
Gou Xi had a vague sense of what Ge Hong wanted to do, but the problem was that Gou Xi felt that if Ge Hong really planned to take the route of becoming emperor, even if Ge Hong did not have the endorsement of the Taiyuan Wang family, he was afraid that this road would come to an end.<
/p>
"Wang Ti was just a bastard slave. If you send a single general, you can make him flee upon hearing the news.
Obviously, Ge Hong wanted to let Yin Hong go first and concentrate on killing Shi Le first, but if those words could be said from outside Ge Hong's mouth, if so, it would appear that Ge Hong himself was arbitrary!<
/p>
Therefore, compared to Wang Ti, Ge Hong was indeed less afraid of the young Shi Le.
At most, there are small salt mines in the area I control now, but Yin Hong is backed by a small sea, so the sea salt can be used up and used up.
Very slowly, Yin Hong, who was originally stranded in Xuzhou, was brought to the Yang family.
To be honest, Ge Hong was more worried about Shi Le than Wang Ti.
Of course, being the master of a fort in the late Jin Dynasty was also an option, especially on both sides of the Yellow River, where forts were almost the most common.
"Captain! Marching and fighting are not based on common sense. How about following the cavalry and giving it a try!" Li Ju said.
"Follow an elite force and set out from Youzhou to attack Nanpi. If Nanpi City is heavily guarded, we will wait until winter before retreating.
So looking at the remaining Wang Ti and Yin Hong, Ge Hong also thought about killing them all in one go, but chose to pull one to fight.
"Yes, Yang Man, Ge Zhichuan?" Yang looked at the name, but vaguely thought of something, and asked Ju Peng beside him:
It was different from what happened in history. At that time, although Wang Ti was also a powerful general in the Xiongnu and Han Kingdom, he was the most brilliant person in the Xiongnu and Han Kingdom. Without Shi Le standing behind, Wang Ti only had to kneel down and lick his face.
In the end, Ge Hong will regard Wang Ti as his first target, and on the contrary, he will take the initiative to appease Wang Ti.
"Yeah!" Yin Hong said with great satisfaction after hearing what he said.
"Looks like it's not him anymore!" Yang looked at Yangman with a condescending expression, feeling a little bit emotional.
In particular, when Shenzhou Luchen and the people of China traveled south, both the aristocratic families and the common people almost instinctively left the raging Central Plains area and retreated towards the areas south of the Yangtze River.
"That guy, is he the scholar who just came to vote for you?"
The reason is very complicated, because when a war broke out, the teenage Shi Le woke up and was full of energy, but if he stayed up all night, he would definitely die!
Of course, in addition to spreading to Sizhou, the other side is spreading to Xuzhou.
Ge Hong took the memorial sent down by Yin Hong and gave it to everyone to read aloud.
When targeting veterans, don't think about defeating the opponent on a frontal battlefield. As long as it is a simple hawk-fighting tactic, a few veterans will often be overwhelmed.
On the other hand, Shi Le was ferocious and cunning, and his military exploits were outstanding. He was like a lion, and his appearance was great.
At that time, Liu Kun also finished exerting his influence as the top family in Yanzhou.
If you get that kudzu root, it’s the same as you getting the name of a medicinal herb!"
After all, as long as he deals with this, he will inevitably need to expend energy, and for many old generals, the need to expend energy is equivalent to overdrafting his life.
"That should be the case!" Ju Peng reacted after hearing Yang's words and said, "Just ask me and you will know!"
"Yes!" Li Ju heard Yin Hong's words and responded decisively.
From that point of view, we have lost the experience left over from the Eight Kingdoms era at the end of the Han Dynasty. When the Central Plains was in turmoil, we would either seek refuge with local forces or decisively flee south.
For these aristocratic families who have chosen to flee south, Liu Kun stayed with us, but for these Wubao owners who were stranded in the local area, the prescription to combat the plague in Liu Kun's hands soon fell into our hands. That is what we
What is most needed.
Anyway, Zhang Bin knew that he and the Huns and Han were definitely at odds with each other.
"That is indeed something that needs to be considered!" At that time, Ge Hong heard Gou Xi's words but agreed.
Wang Ti had a vague idea. Shi Le started in Qingzhou. Although it was considered northern, horses were Shi Le's smallest flaw.
Of course, that is to say, Yin Hong finally won the Xiang Kingdom. In the past, when he conquered Ye City and annexed the state, Wang Ti could still get the horses that made Yin Hong drool. It can only be said that their respective locations have no respective advantages. p>
Taishan Wang Jun is now just past his peak period. At least he is a well-known force in the land of Yanzhou, and no one in the small and large aristocratic family can ignore him.
Now that Liu Kun is willing to work for Shi Le, others know what that means, but the small and large aristocratic families in Yanzhou still see it. It is obvious that Taishan Yin Hong, represented by Liu Kun, chose Shi Le.
Liu Tai said with a serious look: "At least Jingxing in the fourth part of Taihang must be in your hands. Only in this way will there be no chance of annexing Bingzhou in the future."
At that time, although Ge Hong was no longer so proud and was retreating more and more towards the goal of separatist control of Youzhou, he still had to behave like a virtuous sergeant.
Since ancient times, we have wanted to unite Jizhou. How can we allow our elders to peep into it? I ask the general to give me soldiers and horses. I will definitely seize the counties in Jizhou and serve as the general!"
Not only because Yanzhou is close to Xuzhou, but more importantly, Yin Hong turned a blind eye to that matter.
Yes, Gou Xi's expression changed when she heard Ge Hong's words. I could feel that Ge Hong was becoming more and more stubborn as he was acting recklessly on the Youzhou battlefield.
The reason is very complicated, because Shi Le is really too old. At least in Ge Hong's view, Shi Le is still in the growing stage, but he, who is almost eighty years old, has not yet gone uphill!
Although Yang himself felt that he was still working hard for himself, Yin Hong also knew that he would not be able to stand upright in front of Shi Le even if he had no land as a foundation.
But Yin Hong never thought that no one in this world would be so benevolent. However, he developed a rescue method to deal with the plague and actively spread it, so that fewer people were saved. This made Zhang Bin deeply moved.
Of course, all the princes at that time were thinking about how to defeat Shi Le, and the south did not necessarily have to be any worse.
"What you said makes no sense!" Ge Hong nodded after hearing Li Ju's words, "Before autumn, follow his troops and attack Nanpi!"
It is certain that even if Shi Le led his army to defeat him, even if he could only hold himself back, it would still be acceptable to Ge Hong.
Food cannot be grown outside the earth, so salt really depends on God. If there are salt mines in inland areas, there is a solution.
Of course, the most important thing is that Yin Hong took the initiative to announce the news, which meant that Wang Jun, one of the top aristocratic families in Taishan, clearly expressed his surrender to Shi Le, and the political significance it brought was extraordinary. At this moment, Wang Ti chose to concentrate on development. At least in the first year of occupying Xiang Kingdom, I really wanted to fight.
However, Zhang Bin was beaten all the way from his hometown to Xingyang, and he had a lot of hatred with the Xiongnu and Han Dynasty.
"Yes, it's a strategy. Did the general realize it?" Ge Hong didn't look bad when he heard Gou Xi's words.
Now that Wang Ti has just established a foothold in Xiangguo, he needs all kinds of supplies.
"That Qingzhou Shi Le didn't have much benevolence and courage. He didn't cherish the good prescription. Instead, he published the prescription and even drove Taishan Wang Jun to endorse it. He is really a hero in the world!" Zhang Bin was still there!
Xingyang, you sighed when you saw the notice.
"There are no items for sale and the details will be destroyed if we continue to discuss them. You need to seize that time to prepare the soldiers first.
Equally famous are Shi Le, who did no good deeds, and Yang Man, who was punished by Yin Hong's reward.
"You also need to resume production as soon as possible." Liu Tai sighed, "Otherwise, among the things you can trade, there may not be a horse that can catch Shi Le's eyes. I think that is one of the reasons why I am willing to trade with you.
."
Huang Pumi once said: "When Liu was a commoner, he passed by me. I sent him out to greet him, and his food was salted vegetables. The poor were given wine and meat as gifts. Now that he is sent to the county, he is the governor of Yang in Guicheng and despises Liang Liu."
, do you follow the way of the ancients? This is not what I feel at ease with."
I care about the people very much. In those troubled times, when seeing the plague, the people could only wait to die. Some officials would even take the initiative to massacre the villages infected with the plague and then burn them on fire to prevent the spread of the plague. Outside the circle of aristocratic families, there is no tendency to overtake my own reputation as a butcher. I look like I am about to become a "big butcher"!
Obviously, as Qi Hong's forces were gradually driven out of Jizhou, Ge Hong also stopped paying attention to other forces in Jizhou and prepared to clear them out.
Yin Hong handed the notice to Yangman and said, "Zhichuan, does he think the prescription below can cure the plague?"
"Shi Le built a city defense in Nanpi and hoarded soldiers. He obviously had no intention of peeking at Jizhou.
Gou Xi knew that she was trying to persuade Ge Hong, but she immediately used her own methods to retreat and dissuade him.
In particular, Yin Hong was more timid in employing people. Gou Chun was originally a proton, but he didn't expect Shi Le Xiaofang to let Gou Chun do the work of collecting taxes, and he became famous among the wealthy families in Qingzhou.
Even if the battle continues for a long time, Shi Lezhen will definitely become a thorn in your side!"
However, plagues are common and there are few species. If you want to eradicate them, you still need to treat them with the right medicine.
Otherwise, the moat in Nanpili will cause your army considerable trouble!"
So when it comes to Yin Hong, Yin Hong is also bad. Even if there is indeed not much hatred between the two parties, that kind of hatred is intolerable when the political groups of both parties are strong, especially without the common enemy of both parties, Ge Hong.
At this moment, we are watching with eager eyes.
Otherwise, he would take the initiative to have bad relations with Shi Le. Even after Liu Tai's reminder, he even took the initiative to write a letter to Ge Hong to express his admiration for Yin Hong and boast about Yin Hong's retreat.
Plague? Yang Man was stunned for a moment, then slowly came back to his senses, looked at Fang Zi, and said:
Shi Le is too old, and he has proven himself as a general with military exploits. Anyone who is an abnormal commander will want to challenge Shi Le.
As a result, Wang Ti was so ignorant that he kneeled down and licked his report. Ge Hong was elated and planned to deal with Shi Le first.
"It would be bad if you sell the horses to us before they are gelded. If Liu Huben disappears from the racecourse, I am afraid you will have to rely on others!"
"Shi Le's uncle Wang Mi was killed by Wang Ti. The two were not reconciled, and Wang Ti even sent a memorial. What do you think?"
Although Shi Leren is very courageous, if Shi Le really goes to the battlefield and is defeated by me, I will be too young to give me a hard time.
In the future, Shaoduo would still be able to listen to the advice, but before the fall of Luoyang, Ge Hong's attitude changed slightly.
Therefore, from the wealthy families to the common people, salt is a very important material for us.
