The reason for attacking Cai at the beginning was for Xu Guo. Now, even the dogs in Baiyi know that this is a nonsense reason. But Commissioner Li thought that even if he held a tube of washing powder in his hand, he said it was Cai Guo's hidden treasure.
Weapons of mass destruction...what does it matter?
At least now international public opinion is still on Li's side.
Huaishang is weak. Those who were destroyed and those who are being destroyed must first agree with Li Jie. Otherwise, what will happen? Only by following the likes of the Tang Dynasty and aligning with Li Jie's interests can there be room for survival, otherwise they will be defeated by Chu sooner or later.
The country is dead.
Although Li Jie is not a good person, at least Li Jie does not have enough fresh troops to maintain the "colonial" rule in the Huaishang area. From Suiguo's point of view, Li Jie must compromise and use local snakes.
The development of things, because the former "big men" such as Doctor Shangcai, Pingyu Sikou, Zhoulai, etc., indeed satisfied the kings and ministers of the country.
Li Jie's cooperative attitude seems to be very sincere now.
"Come in, doctor."
"Can the story of 'Dragon Son' be spread in Baiyi?"
"There's been a lot of talk about 'Long Zi' in Bai Yi, but..."
Zeng Shan was a little surprised when he saw his relatives hesitating and said: "Just say it bluntly."
"It's just that there are many rumors among the rebels that Jiangyinzi said that 'virtue lies in people and not in things'. Nowadays, those who pursue 'Longzi' are mostly residents in the city, righteous men, and captains of the righteous brigade. Most of them don't care much."
"this……"
Zeng Shan was really surprised. He never expected that Sui Guo's treasure was brought out at great risk, but when it got to the ground, the other party didn't value it?
"Virtue lies in people and not in things... Is this really what Jiang Yinzi said?"
"My subordinates got information from the military government. Some people said that Dr. Shang Cai was very moved at that time and persuaded Jiang Yinzi to treat each other with courtesy. Then Jiang Yinzi said that if he got the 'Longzi' pearl, he would give it to Dr. Shang Cai.
.”
"..."
The doctor in Sui State was immediately shocked. This barbarian from Wu State was really beyond his imagination.
"When I saw the mobilization of soldiers in the city, I thought it was caused by 'Dragon Son', but I never thought that it was not the case."
Zeng Shan, who was very emotional, suddenly became more confident about this visit to Li Jie.
He is not a pedantic person, otherwise he would not shoulder this important task. Whether Sui Guo can receive assistance from Li Jie or even Wu Guo in the next period of time depends on the outcome of this visit and negotiations.
Sui Guo actually has no way out. If Li Jie really bullies the "gentleman", Sui Guo really has no good solution.
But now it seems that Li Jie is a bit particular.
"Then... why are the soldiers in the city mobilized now?"
"There are many righteous activities in the streets of the city. Announcements have been made inside and outside, saying that Xincai will be captured in the near future."
"ah?!"
Zeng Shan was shocked, "It has only been a few days since the floods flooded Xincai, and Li Jie has finished fighting with the Dou Shi. How can the exhausted troops get stuck in the mud?"
The ground environment after flooding Xincai will be very bad, but for the defender, it can still persevere.
The attacking side is disgusting, and it is quite disgusting. Even just marching will be very troublesome, and may even cause a large number of non-combat attrition.
In Zeng Shan's opinion, it is impossible for the world-famous Li Jie not to know this kind of common sense.
"Come in, doctor."
The personal attendant hesitated for a moment and whispered, "The attack on Xincai this time happened for a reason."
"Oh?" Zeng Shan thought for a moment and said, "But the Xincai sheep tongue and humerus angered Li Jie?"
"It's not Xincai Yangtongue, but Cai Hou's younger sister who wants to return to Xincai, so Jiang Yinzi promised to Cai Ji..."
"..."
The mood of Zeng Shan, the great official of the country, was very complicated, very, very complicated.
There are three key points. First, the fucking Princess Cai fell into the hands of Li Jie? Second, the fucking Princess Cai was so shameless that she let Li Jie attack the capital of her country? Third, the daughter here...
What to do?
The Lord must not raise an army out of anger. In fact, essentially, it is not necessarily because of anger, but all emotions should not be brought into waging war.
War launched on impulse or excitement will often have various sequelae, and even various defeats and defeats.
And now, Li Jie's reason for attacking Xincai must be because of women!
Cai Hou's younger sister said she wanted to go home and have a look, so why the hell did you knock down her house?
Dr. Zeng Shan suddenly became entangled again. Was this meeting correct or incorrect?
Is Li Jie a particular animal, or not?
Confused, really confused...
"Doctor?"
"I want to be alone and quiet."
"Hi."
After leaving, Zeng Shan felt his head was a little swollen and rubbed his temples. He couldn't mobilize his emotions. He felt that he was completely unable to grasp the context of Bai Yizhong, let alone the negotiation with Li Jie.
If nothing else, Sui Guo will definitely be led by Li Jie.
"What can I do..."
Sighing again, Zeng Shan collected his thoughts and immediately made up his mind to make some changes to his original plan.
At this time, Li Jie, Sha Heng, and Jia Gui were standing in front of the map, accompanied by the livestock dealer Wu Chan.
This time Wu Chan felt that he had become completely prosperous. He had been in the business of selling cattle and horses for many years, but he could not have made as much money as he did now.
Although after meeting Li Jie, he was shocked at first and spoke awkwardly, but Li Jie was actually quite kind to him and rewarded him with a lot of gold, silver, wealth and silk. This alone was given to his old friend Jia Gui
The investment was fully recovered and a huge profit was made.
Now, you are still qualified to stand next to Shaheng and Jiagui and follow the map, which means you are one of your own.
Thinking of this, Wu Chan was suddenly excited. Even though he knew nothing about military affairs, he didn't need to figure out how to fight. He only needed to understand that his status had undergone earth-shaking changes.
"Wu Jun, is there a suitable road in the small northwest town of Xincai?"
"Yes, yes!"
Wu Chan nodded and bowed, then stepped forward to kowtow. He was excited and nervous at the same time, "General, there is a small river to the north. There are many camphors and willows on both sides. If you are familiar with the terrain, you can sail."
The reason why we don’t talk about the land route is that the sequelae of flooding in Xincai have emerged. It is basically impossible to find the original road. There is sand, soft soil, mud everywhere, and it is covered under vegetation and debris.
A large number of swamps were formed.
There is no way that Dr. Shang Cai would suffer a great deal. It must be as easy as possible.
"Are you sure?"
"General, yes!"
Wu Chan is not stupid. This may be the only time in his life that he has anything to do with military merit. After passing this village, there is no chance.
With military merit, even if he does not join the army and continues to sell livestock, will this still eliminate his orders?
"If you deliver Doctor Shang Cai safely to a small town in the northwest, I will count you as a meritorious service."
"Thank you, General, for the promotion!"
"During this period, you have made many contributions. Without your help, Sha Huan and Jia Gui would also be in great difficulty. You are able to brave the risks and follow from Zhuma City to Xincai. You have done a great job for your hard work."
"Don't dare, don't dare..."
Even though his whole body was about to float, Wu Chan still forced himself not to float, and he tried his best to put all his money in. Of course, it must have a beautiful ending, right?
Leave a good impression on the general, there will be many orders in the future, and the "Ying Yuan" will be big, wouldn't it be beautiful?
“It’s good to take credit without being arrogant!”
Li Jie patted the hunchbacked snake and said, "From now on, you will be allowed to sell mules produced in Jiangyin on both sides of the Huai River."
He had long heard that there was a "new version of the boat" in Jiangyin City. When he heard Li Jie's promise, Wu Chan was immediately overjoyed: "Chuan, thank you, General, for your cultivation! Thank you, General, for your promotion..."
When he spoke, his accent already had a vibrato, and it wouldn't work without it. Wu Chan felt that he was completely unable to control himself.
"Before evening, Dr. Cai will be sent safely and safely outside the small town in the northwest!"
"yes!"
This time, Wu Chan answered categorically, and his mouth almost reached the back of his head. He obviously forced himself not to drift, but I really couldn't control how much I sent!
