He secretly made a trip to Xuecheng. On the observation deck, County Magistrate Li saw through the telescope that a large number of Song troops began to withdraw from Peiyi.
The troops on the banks of Surabaya should be transferred to Heshui. The main defense is still from the State of Lu.
This time, the Lu State did not attack the Song State. This is not because the Lu State's conscience found out, but because the Qi State was advancing eastward, and the area east of the Taishan Mountains had changed from a sphere of influence to actual control.
The large and small "governments-in-exile" in the upper reaches of Zi River also disappeared during the Second Biyang War.
The border between Qi and Lu expanded more than three times at once.
The State of Lu had to transfer a large number of garrison troops from the south to Mount Tai and Wenshui. Naturally, it had no intention of caring about how miserable the State of Song was.
"General, I heard that the Song Dynasty people want to change Pei Yi to Pei County."
"Oh? The Song Dynasty wants to establish counties?"
Captain Jia, who had a flattering look on his face, reported to Li Jie seriously, "I have some knight-errant friends who travel between Danshui and Heshui. They are the disciples of the Song Dynasty scholars all year round. They are fairly well-informed."
"I didn't expect that..."
County Magistrate Li's eyes lit up. Captain Jia was a bit ugly, but he had a lot of crooked ways. Moreover, he was more "noble" than ordinary gentlemen, and was very deceptive.
"Thank you, General." Captain Jia smiled, not daring to take credit, and said sincerely, "It's all under the guidance of the General that my subordinates made such a small contribution."
The wording and grammar are in line with Li Jie's requirements. This Captain Jia is a talent!
County Magistrate Li was very satisfied, patted him on the shoulder and said: "With your talent, you can still go one step further."
"Yes! I am striving to become the general's eagle dog!"
"..."
Damn it, why are you always fighting to be a dog?
Thinking of being a dog, County Magistrate Li thought of his brother-in-law Sha Diao. This little eagle always wanted to work hard to become a big eagle, but life was really difficult.
"Peiyi was changed to Peixian, has anyone found out who is in charge?"
"That friend of mine said that Dai Zi, the 'Prime Minister' of the Song Dynasty, was responsible for the new policy."
"Dai Ju?"
Li Jie was obviously taken aback. He knew that Dai Ju, a loyal minister of the Song Dynasty, would be re-employed soon, but he never expected that he would come so quickly.
And there is a detail that Li Jie discovered, that is, what Captain Jia said was "the Prime Minister".
You must know that on the "Second Ring Road" construction site of Biyang Kingdom, absolutely no one inquired about this news. They just defaulted to Dai Ju as the Prime Minister or Shangqing of the Song Dynasty.
Now it seems that a lot of things happened within the Song Dynasty.
"Prime minister?"
"My friend said that in addition to the 'Grand Prime Minister', there are also several 'Secondary Prime Ministers' who serve as auxiliaries."
"What the hell is this weird thing... After the fight, do you want to sit in a row and eat fruit?"
"..."
Captain Jia was confused and didn't understand what the boss was saying.
But it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand, Captain Jia has a way to follow along and chat.
"The general is wise!"
When he said this, Captain Jia looked flattering and smiled sincerely and obscenely.
Li Jie immediately became happy when he saw it: "You are such a fucking talent!"
"Thank you for the compliment, General!"
"Hahahahahaha..."
Li Jie, who was in a good mood, continued to observe with the telescope. After confirming that the Song army had indeed evacuated in accordance with the treaty, he also began to think about how to manage Xuecheng.
The entire Biyang Kingdom has more than doubled its territory, and its total population is second only to the Gusu Wangji area. It is impossible for the Wu Kingdom to give up such a big fat piece of meat now.
Even if we tighten our belts, we still have to pull the Subei brothers over, not to mention that they have all gone to Shandong.
These days, anyone who can enforce laws across provinces is an international giant!
In order to prevent the Song State from playing tricks, County Magistrate Li is going to find something for the Song State to do. The first thing is to provide them with some international assistance from countries that exist in name only like the Gao State and the Ji State.
The Wu Guongo organization is obviously filled with love...
From Biyangcheng to Heshui along Surabaya, transportation is convenient, and the assistance effect is very good.
In addition, Wu people are good at sailing and do not suffer from night blindness, so it is not impossible to take a stroll in the water at night.
As long as things can pass through Huling, the rest of the road will be easy to walk. Even if we take a detour to Lu State first, it won't be a big problem.
How many "righteous men" they summoned to fight against the Song Dynasty in a small country like Gao Kingdom and Ji Kingdom were probably only two or three kittens. But with the assistance of the International Justice Organization and this international gold dollar, even if they were mentally retarded
, it can also disgust the Song Dynasty.
"Walk."
"yes!"
After observing the progress of the Song army's retreat, Li Jie already had an idea in mind.
The large forces of the "Justice League" will definitely have to evacuate, but because of the prestige and reputation they gained during the Second Forced Sun War, there are many more "righteous men" who are willing to come and make a living.
Nowadays, County Magistrate Li, a bastard who holds high the banner of "benevolence and righteousness", has 40,000 to 50,000 people like him from all over the world wandering between Song and Lu.
Then about 20,000 of them became regular volunteers of the "Yi Danying" with an iron rice bowl, and the identity cards they were issued had to be special.
As for the "righteous men" that various countries wanted to take home, although Li Jie had his head twisted, his mentality was very peaceful. It was best if he could trick them, and it didn't matter if he couldn't.
Only by adding double insurance to the west of Surabaya can Li Jie feel free to "abuse Cai".
At this time, Xuecheng was obviously not lively enough compared to before, and looked very depressed. But this was just a street market scene. In fact, the newly opened market not only did not have a decline in transactions, but instead rose against the market trend.
The main reason is that after becoming a "country of righteous men", nobles from nearby countries chose to enter the hometown of Xue State in order to take refuge, or directly moved into Xuecheng.
This group of people themselves can bring a considerable consumer market. In addition, the defeat of Song State has greatly increased the confidence of nearby small countries and they are very willing to contact Biyang State.
Direct trade might be a bit excessive, so I chose Xuecheng.
Countries such as Zou, Teng, and Ni now sell grain to Xuecheng. The price of grain has increased tenfold, and the profits are considerable.
Moreover, in Xuecheng, there are three or four main currencies in circulation on the market. In addition to the copper shells of Cao State, there are also two kinds of silk cloth of Wu State and a round round hole coin cast in Jiangyin City.
No matter which one it is, it is hard currency for the small country of Surabaya. If you choose to trade in Xuecheng, you will naturally be more proactive.
So even if Xuecheng is looking at depression now, it is only because it has just gone through a turbulent period and has not officially started to resume production.
"Jia Gui."
"My subordinate is here!"
"I am going to experience the 'Yi Dan Camp' and go south to attack Cai. Are you willing to go with me?"
"It's expensive, but you can be dispatched by the general!"
"Okay! You're fine!"
County Magistrate Li suddenly laughed, patted Captain Jia on the shoulder repeatedly, and then said, "I'll give you a task!"
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
"The Xu people in Biyang said that besides them, there are other Xu people who went out to ask for help. Find out and tell me."
"yes!"
When Jia Gui heard this, he immediately understood that the boss did not intend to let him go to the battlefield, but planned to let him gather information.
Thinking of this, Jia Gui was trembling with excitement. As a descendant of the Jia family, he naturally thought that this was a test for him by the general.
If he passes the test, he will be the general's confidant, and the job of sorting out intelligence may fall into his hands in the future; if he fails, he will probably have to continue to make a living in Xuecheng, and it will take time to see when he can show off his achievements.
Pull it up.
"Within ten days, I will assemble the army and set off."
"yes!"
"I'm in Yangcheng, waiting for news from you."
"yes!"
Jia Gui was very excited. Although he was not good at fighting and the only thing he could do was to defend, he had a wide network of contacts to get information. Otherwise, why would he, an ugly guy, become the captain of the brigade if there were so many "righteous men"?
Can others only be squadron leaders or even squad leaders?
There was a person whom Jia Gui admired very much and took him as an example. He was one of General Li Jie's right-hand men, Ba, the Young Master of the Six Kingdoms, whom he had met once and never spoken to before.
This man was also ugly, but he still managed to prosper. He was definitely one of the best under the command of the powerful man named Wang.
Now that Prince Ba has returned to his homeland in the name of "Xia Liu", the kings and ministers of the six kingdoms must treat each other with courtesy and go out of the city to welcome him.
In Jia Gui's opinion, this is what a real man should be!
After sending Li Jie away, Jia Gui immediately summoned his men. He did not explain the details, but asked his men to immediately contact the rangers in the nearby Song and Lu cities to inquire first based on their past friendships.
Two days later, the two team leaders returned to Xuecheng from Jishui via Heshui.
"Captain!"
"There was news about Qufu before, but many people met with Lu Gong. What do you want to report?"
A small captain stepped forward and clasped his fists: "Captain, I am in Weiguo, and it seems that I have an engagement."
"engagement?"
"Wei Jun's sister was originally going to marry Xu Guo this year."
"good!"
Captain Jia clapped his hands: "You two, follow me to Biyang City!"
