The intelligence dealers of the Chu State in the Huaihe River Basin have much stronger mobility and subjective will than spies from other countries. After all, there may be some Chu people outside who have lost their hometowns, and the land belongs to the Han people.
Any hatred or resentment can only reach this level.
The country is destroyed and the family is destroyed, it is nothing more than this.
"Absolutely impossible! Absolutely impossible! This Chu man is really a beast, and he is not ignorant of the wealth of the Han country, but how can the rare beasts of 'Lu Shu' be so numerous?!"
Both sides of the Ru River and the Ying River are mostly paradises for information dealers. From Cai State to Chen State, in just a few days, anyone with a bit of connections knew about Huai Zhong City. Now there are mules and horses in droves, and deer are in Shu.
lock up.
But this news was so unscientific and unreasonable that the anti-Han elements in Cai and Chen did not believe it at all.
"Absolutely true!"
"Not only the Chu people say this, but the Wu people also prove it!"
"Thirty thousand, thirty thousand!"
Chen Ren from Wanqiu patted his thigh and said, "Your Majesty is still in Huaizhong City. I should remind you and let you inquire about it."
"In my opinion, the Huaizhong Human and Livestock Breeding Center should send capable people to learn from the director."
"We will discuss this matter later. Qi and Lu are currently at war. With these 30,000 livestock, the military morale of Lu will be greatly boosted."
As Chen Guoren guessed, the operation of the "harem group" in Huaizhong City not only frightened the spies, but also the people of Lu heard that the number of animals transporting supplies alone was 30,000. According to normal operations, then
Why don't hundreds of thousands of troops come to help?
In the past, when King Wu Wei was still alive, there were only a few thousand Wujia and strong troops in the entire army, and the remaining tens of thousands were migrant workers.
With this configuration, there are only 300 cattle in total and only more than 2,000 horses.
Now there are only 30,000 troops. If there is no army of hundreds of thousands, there must be more than 100,000 troops.
So, as soon as the Suishui migrant workers from Hanzi Kingdom organized to pass through Longji Mountain and then passed through Pengcheng, they spread the news carefully, saying that 30,000 Han soldiers had passed through Pengcheng!
Wei Yu, who arrived in Fucheng in advance, met Yang Ju, the highest local official, and immediately told the actual situation. The two hit it off and continued to play tactical deception.
"Now that the Lu people's army is determined, there are many rumors in the south of Lu. It is said that the Han army has mobilized all its troops from Huaixia, totaling 230,000 troops, to resist Qi and aid Lu!"
"Hahahahahaha..."
Hearing Wei Yu's description, Yang Ju also breathed a sigh of relief, "I was the official of Biyang State in the past year. Although I led troops, I was not good at military affairs. I may have some experience in defending the city, but I am in charge of military formations.
It’s much different.”
"Now Weishan Wei's men have gone to Nanwu City. As long as Xuecheng creates a reputation, Teng State will definitely know about it. Since Zhu State was divided into three parts, Xiao Zhu State has been close to Qi State. In the past few days, I have heard that
There is a wealthy businessman named Cao who travels to and from Surabaya. He must be from the Zhu state."
Wei Yu analyzed a large amount of intelligence. Unlike when he was in the Jin Kingdom, the Hanzi Kingdom's intelligence collection was not limited to the court, Jianghu, and would also collect even rumors from the market.
These habits and regulations made Wei Yu feel very comfortable.
It feels quite like a fish in water.
He was already good at intelligence analysis and had honed his organizational skills at grass-roots construction sites. At this time, he integrated some of the idle intelligence dealers outside and was able to get all the intelligence from both sides before the Qilu war.
The so-called Zhu State actually ceased to exist a long time ago. A few years after the feud between Qi and Lu, the Marquis of Qi was unable to resist King Gou Chen of Wu Wei. As a result, Qi State, as the hegemonic protectorate, lost its authority and was protected by Qi State.
The Zhu State was naturally annexed by hostile countries.
This hostile country is Lu.
Lu State has a long history of attacking Zhu State, but whenever Lu State used force before, someone would always jump out to stop it, usually Qi State, and occasionally Jin State and Chu State.
But because Wu State was dominant, he seized 300 cows and killed them as gifts to King Wu Wei. Afterwards, Lu State attacked Zhu State, and the old monster Gou Chen acquiesced and did not interfere.
With the support of Wu State, Qi State and Chu State were determined to roar, but they were afraid of provoking the "unity of all people", so they had no choice but to watch Lu State eat a feast.
The fall of the Zhu State was purely a betrayal between the hegemonic powers. In short, for the sake of one's own national interests, the national interests of the Zhu State were betrayed, that is, betrayed.
And the Lu State had no way to completely annex the Zhu State. Firstly, it did not dare. If it really wanted to annex the Zhu State, the Wu State would definitely not be able to sit idly by and ignore it. Maybe it would be the Wu State that would jump out and attack the Lu State.
The second is no. Although the land of the Lu State is rich and the population is large, the Zhu State is not bad. Although there are mountains and hills, generally speaking, the rain and heat conditions are excellent. There are several rivers in the territory, and the total irrigation area is not bad.
The population is small, but that is relative.
The population per unit of land is comparable to that of the State of Lu.
Therefore, the Zhu State was only destroyed, but the monarch's ancestral worship was still retained. Then, because there were more people who wanted to compete for the right to inherit, the entire Zhu State was disintegrated.
The disintegration of Zhu State was a satisfactory outcome for all the countries in the Jisi River Basin.
You must know that when the Zhu State threatened the Yin State, the border guards of the Wu State planned to expand the scope of their attack on Qiu Feng.
The country of Zhu was divided into three parts, and one part of it was the small country of Zhu. After merging several lands and pocket-sized countries, a slightly larger and less compact country was formed, which was the country of Ni.
Here in Fucheng, the country of Xiaozhu is the country of Ni, but in the official states of Lu and Zou, the country of Ni is the country of Ni, not the country of Xiaolu.
Having such an expression is also necessary for each individual.
The Lu and Zou states obviously cannot recognize that this is the Xiaozhu state. If they did, it would be troublesome to annex them in the future.
Fucheng here describes it as Xiaozhu State, just in case. If Lu State really wants to become bigger, he can directly attack Lu State in the name of aiding Xiaozhu State.
But there is no doubt that the current situation is very special. It is no longer a hotspot conflict, but a regional war.
With all the preparations and mobilization that are the prelude to war, the possibility of any force in the region trying to escape from the world is zero.
As long as the people of Xiaozhu are not stupid, they also want to protect themselves. In addition, Qi now dominates Jishui. No matter how much money the alliance spent, or whether it was a shame or not, at least it was successful on the surface.
.
The state of Qi is leading its troops to attack the state of Lu. This is not possible, it is ongoing.
Therefore, the elites of Xiaozhu State were all ecstatic. They were unable to compete with the surrounding places, but this did not prevent them from working hard to serve Qi State.
As long as the Qi State is happy, this matter will be easy to deal with. Not only can the small Zhu State be saved, but the scale of the Zhu State may also be restored.
Therefore, when Wei Yu was collecting intelligence, he keenly discovered that the largest increase in the number of intelligence dealers that had emerged recently was the wealthy businessman named Cao.
The wealthy businessmen surnamed Cao who have such strength in this area in the short term, without exception, are all descendants of Zhu State, or three-thirds of Zhu State.
After discovering this subtle change, Wei Yu suggested to Yang Ju that he might as well use his plan to add fuel to the fire.
Anyway, Huaizhong City has already taken the lead in playing "strategic fraud" before. It is not a bad thing for them to play "tactical fraud" on the front line.
The most important thing is that because military information waits for no one, the operations of the wealthy businessmen surnamed Cao are basically impossible to cover up, and a lot of true and false information is spread to the Allied camp through detailed operations.
It's just that intelligence spies can't tell which ones are true and which ones are false.
Since Weishan Captain Dai Fei mobilized Nanwu City, the reinforcements sent by the Han State to the Lu State have increased from 30,000 to 60,000, from 60,000 to 80,000, from 80,000 to 120,000, and finally increased
To 230,000.
This number was not shouted out by Wei Yu and Yang Ju. It was the military strength compiled by Xiaozhu and Zou themselves.
There are 230,000 troops and 30,000 livestock on the way. I don’t know if the main force of the Han army has wavered. Anyway, the news reached the Allied camp, and Qi Hou felt a heavy hammer on his chest.
He didn't believe it. He didn't believe that the Han army could have an army of 230,000 people. If there were an army of 230,000 people, Li Jie also used strategies to deceive the Chu State. In the end, the northern army was just a cover?
In the face of absolute strength, the Chu State was a fool.
However, Qi Hou thought, would it be possible?
Because according to the instructions of the spies, spies from Qi State also went to Teng State, Chai State, and Xiaozhu State to investigate the movements of Fucheng's garrison.
Then during the day, I saw a large number of troops setting off from Fucheng. Their armor leaves were scarlet and their flags were fluttering. I counted more than 10,000 troops.
The next day, I saw a large number of troops setting off from Fucheng. Their armor was black and their flags were fluttering. I counted more than 10,000 troops.
On the third day, I saw a large number of troops setting off from Fucheng. The leaves were green and the flags were fluttering. I counted them and found that there were still more than ten thousand.
The Qi spy is autistic...
"Thirty thousand soldiers——"
Qi Hou immediately complained, but instead took the bamboo slips on the case table and smashed them out, "Do you know that there are 30,000 soldiers..."
Qi Hou, who was shaking with anger, shook his fingers and finally said nothing.
What do these idiots think 30,000 soldiers are? Are they beans growing in the ground?!
As for Fucheng, no matter how rich it is, it can supply 30,000 soldiers?!
Just maintaining the armor is life-threatening, requiring more than 100,000 in support, and that doesn't include eating, drinking, sleeping.
"Your Majesty! I saw it with my own eyes! I saw it with my own eyes!"
"absurd!"
The Marquis of Qi walked away with a puff of his sleeves, but after recruiting his close followers, the Marquis of Qi had a solemn look on his face, "Gentlemen, there are thirty thousand soldiers in Fucheng alone. This Lu country... is to be attacked, or not to be attacked?!"
