"Master, do you still need to pay for Wei Xingzhe's transportation to Qufu?"
Yang Ju, who is in Xuecheng, is quite confused now. It's not that he doesn't know that Wei Yu now has a heavy responsibility, but the power of this heavy responsibility does not come from Li Jie, but from Huaizhong City.
If it were anyone else, Wei Ziyu would be ignored.
But Yang Ju was different. He knew very well that Li Jie had not changed the owner of the passing room in so many years.
There is only one owner of Li Jie's road house, and that is Mrs. Dan of Yinxiang.
Therefore, as long as there is no clear and intense situation regarding the decision made by Mrs. Yinxiang, Yang Ju will definitely support it just like the former master forced Yangzi Yubao!
But now, Yang Ju is really unable to bear it.
Before, Wei Ziyu went to persuade Yue Linggu Ge to surrender, which cost him a lot of money.
In addition to the expenses of the entire mission in Qufu, in addition to the application, they also have to maintain the intelligence system, which is consumed every day.
Just ten days of lumi distribution, the intelligence personnel are of the highest standard. In the past, they were equivalent to countrymen.
The entire mission has more than two hundred officers, that is, more than two hundred villagers. In addition to the brave man's expenses, the reimbursement must be reimbursed. According to the rules, after Fu Cheng pays first, Huaizhong City will be certain in the future.
It needs to be made up for.
From Fu Cheng's point of view, there must be no loss at all, everything is for the sake of the overall situation.
But damn Wei Ziyu comes up and asks for one or two hundred gold, which is really scary to death.
"Luck! Wei Ziyu dares to speak, then give it to him!"
"yes!"
After thinking about it, Yang Ju also felt that he still had to trust Wei Ziyu on this matter.
This guy's behavior is completely different from that of Jin people. He has the style of a Hanzi country.
To be able to persuade a Qi official like Ling Guge to surrender, the previous expense was really nothing.
You must know that in the five capitals of Qi State, no matter what their background, Lang Guan belongs to the upper class.
Even if the wealthy families despise Linggu Ge, who was born in Yue people, the small and medium-sized nobles will not hesitate to donate their daughters if they have the opportunity to marry Linggu Ge.
Such an officer with an establishment quota of 5,000 would have an extremely bad impact on the entire Qi Allied Forces.
Since Ling Gu Ge was not killed immediately, after the influence spreads, the Qi State Allied Forces will definitely have to pick up those officers who are not from the Qi State.
This will inevitably lead to a situation where everyone is in danger, and may even further encourage more nobles not born and raised in Qi to defect.
What follows is a vicious cycle that has to be repeated again.
Yang Ju only hesitated for a moment, and after thinking about it, he immediately organized a team and transferred some food, dried meat and other expenses from Xuecheng to Qufu.
After that, he ordered people to quickly allocate gold and silver precious metals from Fucheng's treasury. In addition to the previous "Ying Yuan", there was also a new gold and silver coin.
These models of gold and silver coins are only found in Huaizhong City, and they belong to the highest technology of the Han Dynasty.
On the front of every gold and silver coin, there is the word "Emperor", and on the reverse, there is the head portrait of the emperor "Gouchen".
Around the head of the emperor's crown, there are also the words "Kaiyuan".
The founding system of the Han Dynasty has this kind of meaning.
Originally, according to the normal schedule, this batch of gold and silver coins would be used to reward meritorious officials in Fucheng, Xuecheng, Weishan and other places during the autumn harvest this year.
But now, I don’t care about that much anymore.
Moreover, the molding time of this batch of gold and silver coins was two months earlier than President Li held a big sacrifice on the bank of Han River.
The physical gold coins appeared in the treasury of Fucheng where Yang Ju was located, one month earlier than the Hanshui Festival.
The order of time obviously has different meanings.
After Yang Ju signed the official document, he stamped it with the official seal of Fucheng County, and then handed the document to his confidant with a serious face: "Seal it tightly with wax and send it back to Fucheng Treasury immediately."
"yes!"
After his confidants left, Yang Ju said to the remaining staff, "I hope Wei Ziyu can bring us more surprises this time!"
If one more Qi official can be persuaded to surrender, the entire Qi coalition will definitely be in great turmoil.
It is unlikely to fall apart, but there are continuous defections, which shows that the team is in chaos and the people are very divided.
Even if the Marquis of Qi was extremely capable, how could he dare to rest assured that his army would swarm up and attack Qufu?
Even if the Marquis of Qi issued such an order, how many officers of the Qi army dared to say that when they were fighting life and death in the front, did Pao Ze in the back suddenly surrender to the enemy?
When two armies are at war, as long as one side is not aligned, big problems will arise.
If you don’t dare to advance and succeed, how can you conquer the city?
At this moment, the Marquis of Qi ordered his troops to be divided and take a detour to the traditional direction of attacking Lu, Yangguan. This was not just a sudden rage.
Because the traditional route to attack Lu was from here, as long as the Qi army found a familiar feeling, it would naturally be easier to think of the friendship between Pao and Ze again.
Furthermore, what the Marquis of Qi was actually worried about was not Qi's own troops. He was more worried about whether Wei, Zheng, Cao, Song and other countries would suddenly cause trouble?!
If Lu could bribe a Yue Linggu Ge, he could bribe a Song, a Zheng, a Wei, or even a Cao.
Even though Cao State does not have the strength to invest troops, Cao State has money. Cao State's "鈥 coins" are very fragrant, but the most popular ones in Fucheng now are "Yin Coins", "White Sand Linen Cloth", and "Big Red 01"
, "Da Zi 01"......
The scholar-bureaucrats of Cao State would definitely feel that "Chixia" and "Zixiao" are particularly fragrant, although they did not have the courage or strength to cause trouble.
But the wealthy merchants of Cao State were different. They had enough capital to arm their stragglers.
In addition, the Qi State has a long-standing tradition of "martial arts" going out to work. If Cao Guo's wealthy merchants knew the "martial arts" to cause trouble, they would not talk about defecting or anything, but secretly poisoned and secretly peeed on the grain.
Soak in shit.
It can disgust people to death even if it doesn't kill them.
The Marquis of Qi had to defend, he had no choice.
Therefore, there is also this underlying reason for dividing the Qi army at this time and dividing some troops.
Directly attack from the front, whether it is to level the land or somewhere else, who knows whether the allied countries are leaking information?
Only for this traditional offensive route, the alliance countries do not have many resources here. Even if they want to leak information, they have to work quickly.
It's not that the Marquis of Qi looked down upon them. The entire Wenshui River was now filled with Qi's boats. In spring, the roads were muddy and even the thousand-mile horses were useless.
While Qi State was dividing its troops, the Marquis of Qi also issued orders to the country. The garrison north of the Great Wall of Qi State began to increase its troops to Yangguan in an orderly manner.
This part of the Qi army that was divided into Wuyanyi was equivalent to the vanguard force, while the defenders who originally stayed at Qi's Great Wall became the reserve force.
It's just that these reserve teams no longer take the water route, but the mountain route.
It is muddy in spring and the mountain roads are not easy to walk, but at this moment, as long as it creates a situation where Qi State is continuously adding troops to the front, it can quickly reverse the morale of the army.
Moreover, the Marquis of Qi also did this to "save a hand" for the alliance countries. Later, when the alliance countries knew that Qi State actually had such a strong military force, they would feel nothing but shock.
"Master! We have arrived at Yangguan!"
"Send an order to the garrison in Guanzhong to come immediately to collect the Han woven bags."
"Hi!"
At this time, there were not many Lu defenders in Yangguan. Because it was known that Qi was meeting an alliance in Wuyan, and due to the weather in spring, Lu only retained about 500 soldiers in Yangguan.
There are thirty chariots, plus the local young and strong civilian men. If they are temporarily recruited, they can also pull out more than ten thousand strong men. It is more than enough to be used in case of unexpected events.
The topography of Yangguan Pass is similar to that of Hangu Pass, both of which are designed to be adjacent to rivers and mountains.
Qi State broke out from the Great Wall of Qi State and passed through the Taishan Mountains. Except for Wenshui River, there was no good place to gain a foothold across the river.
Because Henan is Liangfu Mountain. The mountain is not majestic, but it is disgusting. It is like a big plate. It just blocks Wenshui River on the north bank. Then you have to go around Liangfu Mountain before you can set foot on the flat land again, and finally go all the way around Surabaya to get there.
Qufu.
In a straight line, it's just a little way, but a small Liangfu Mountain requires a detour of four to five hundred miles. What's even more disgusting is that Liangfu Mountain does not only have one hilltop.
Few, maybe a dozen or twenty, but there are still some.
Over the years, if the Qi army tried to steal chickens from Liangfu Mountain, most of them failed because of the disgusting terrain.
Therefore, comparing the two, when the Qi army left the Great Wall and several groups of troops passed through the Taishan Mountains from the east and the north, they would not choose to set foot on Liangfu Mountain, but directly knock on the pass.
It is impossible not to fight at Yangguan. The Qi and Lu families are too familiar with each other. If the Qi army really breaks through directly and rushes to Qufu.
The Lu army dared to cut off the Qi army's retreat. The location of Yangguan is so good.
The Qi and Lu families have been fighting for more than ten generations. This is the first time that the Qi State has such a good excuse and offensive posture.
Wuyan is located in the north of Lu State, far away from Yangguan, and across the Wenshui River is the Yima Pingchuan.
Coupled with the support of the allied princes, as long as the Lu troops are killed head-on, the entire Lu country will definitely be doomed.
It's a pity that such a good opportunity, because of Wei Ziyu's cunning operation, directly caused internal instability in the Qi Allied Forces, and they had to retreat and settle for the next best thing.
In the past, the Qi army attacked Yangguan from east to west.
But this time, it was a bit subtle, from west to east, which forced the Lu State garrison to consume more city defense resources.
Fortunately, Wei Yu, the envoy of Hanzi Kingdom, went to Lu State this time and brought not only hope but also resources.
One of the good things is the woven bag.
Zihe, the official of Zouyi, had seen this kind of woven bag from the Han Dynasty. It was rough in workmanship, but easy to use.
It is extremely efficient for filling soil, and most importantly, it is cheap, very cheap.
"Master! We have ordered people to go to Yangguan to recruit civilian husbands!"
"Build a small city first today!"
"Hi!"
The "small city" of the Lu people is equivalent to the nails planted by the defenders outside the city. They are about forty or fifty paces each. They are not too big, but they are very convenient for archers to shoot.
The defenders of Yangguan can also cooperate easily, and they can cooperate in defense wherever their bows and crossbows can reach.
Then there is one "small town" followed by another "small town". A large number of "small towns" form intervals, which can not only separate the attacking enemy forces, but also kill them more effectively.
It's just that building such a "small town" took a lot of time in the past, but this time it was different. With a large number of woven bags, the efficiency was greatly improved.
Moreover, those who followed Zihe, the great master of Zouyi, to Yangguan were also filled with farm tools in their carriages.
Shovels and shovels are both good things. Although they are used, they are better than nothing.
The mud in spring is also beneficial at this time, because the soil is soft and digging is naturally easier.
This is not the first time that the people have encountered this kind of situation. When they saw the doctor coming from Qufu, they all obeyed the orders honestly.
The countrymen and samurai were also busy organizing manpower. It was a great achievement to defend well this time.
"We should build more arrow towers on the river embankment!"
"Hi!"
"The chariots should be in the urn city."
"Hi!"
"How about a crossbowman?!"
"There are only five hundred soldiers in the city. Now we have recruited civilians and have added two thousand crossbowmen."
"good!"
The local area of Yangguan has such advantages. Because they have been fighting all year round, or they have fought with the Qi people for a long time in the past, most of the local residents have the habit of hunting.
There are actually more people who can shoot arrows than those who can use crossbows.
When Zihe came to Yangguan this time, he brought all the slaves and guests from his family, as well as friends, relatives and family members from Zouyi, as well as some scholars who were willing to follow him. The total force was actually quite impressive.
Those who could be pulled out directly to fight, including the defenders, actually numbered more than 800 people.
After arriving at Yangguan, Zihe first dispersed a wave of wealth and asked the local people to work and contribute, and then made a promise to the defenders and the temporarily recruited civilians. As long as the Qi army was defeated, they would go to Qufu together to receive the reward.
Accept the king’s audience!
With this promise, the morale of the entire Yangguan was high, and they were not afraid of the Qi army that might come at any time.
