Chapter 241: Send troops! Help Xihe!
The next day, August 29, Li He originally planned to take Xia Yangjun to Zhiyang to meet Zhai Hu first, and then discuss with Dong Liangjun with at least Liangcheng. Unexpectedly, as soon as the group was about to leave, they received news that Zhai Hu and Dong Liangjun were preparing to come to Lao Liang.
Obviously, the sincerity brought by Xia Yangjun this time made these two people unable to sit still.
Around the Si hour, Dongliang Jun and Wang Zheng arrived at Old Liang first. Without waiting for Li He to go out of the city to greet him, they hurried into the city and came to Li He's residence.
After everyone met and saluted each other, Dongliang Jun glanced at Li He and asked Xiayang Jun seriously, "Xiayang Jun, yesterday I received a letter from Ziliang, which stated that Wei State was willing to go to the county and city and asked me to send troops to expel Xihe. I wonder if this matter is true?"
Xia Yangjun smiled and said, "Do you, Dongliang, don't believe Ziliang, or you don't believe me?"
Dong Liangjun shook his head and said, "The benefits are serious. I must ask clearly. Please forgive me, Mr. Xia Yang."
“Where do it.”
Xia Yangjun waved his hand with a smile.
Of course he understood why Dongliang Jun was so surprised. After all, even Li He was shocked by his Wei State's big money yesterday.
Of course, he was also shocked by Li He later - the three thousand young Liang's strange soldiers, tsk tsk. Although he had long guessed that Shao Liang would definitely expand the strange soldiers, he never expected that the expansion speed would be so fast.
Soon, Zhai Hu also came hurriedly and asked Xia Yangjun exactly the same question, which made Xia Yangjun feel inexplicably refreshed again.
After confirming that the matter was not false, Dong Liangjun exchanged a look in private and said to Xia Yangjun: "Please forgive me, Xia Yangjun. I want to talk about this with Zi Liang first."
"Of course." Xia Yangjun was very elegant and said with a smile: "I happened to visit Liang's residence... I have been here so many times, but I have not visited it carefully."
Dong Liangjun smiled and nodded, then winked at Zhai Hu and Li He. The three of them went straight to the study, leaving Xia Yangjun and Hui Shi standing in the corridor of the front house, looking at the tree in the courtyard.
He glanced at the direction where Dongliang Jun, Zhai Hu and Li He left, Hui Shi smiled and said to Xia Yangjun: "Xia Yangjun is like being proud this time..."
"Hahaha."
Xia Yangjun, who was carrying his hands on his back, smiled.
That's right? The times he came to Shaoliang in recent years have been extremely aggrieved. The King of Wei refused to listen to his advice. Although Shaoliang understood his difficulties, he refused to give in. This made him feel uncomfortable.
Now, the King of Wei was gradually moved by him, and Shaoliang was shocked by the sincerity he brought. Just as Hui Shi said, he finally felt a kind of cheerful pleasure.
Perhaps he was idle, so he asked Hui Shi casually: "Hui Shi, what have you done during your time in Shaoliang?"
"Shame."
Hui Shi did not hide it and said truthfully: "It mainly studies Shaoliang's ink method and various policies, and sometimes debates with the ink practitioners."
Xia Yang Jun nodded slightly and asked, "Is there anything I can learn from in Wei State?"
"this……"
Hui Shi thought for a while and said, "Shao Liang's Mo's method is too different in national conditions, so it is difficult for us, Wei State to follow, but some government orders can still be learned from us."
"National conditions?" Xia Yangjun thought about this word, then suddenly realized it and sighed: "Yes, Shaoliang... is actually an alternative. If our Wei Kingdom also imitated Shaoliang to adopt the country of Mo Law, I am afraid that the princes, nobles and clans in the country would rebel..."
Hui Shi heard the sigh in Xia Yang's words and comforted her with a smile: "Ha Yang Jun does not need to worry. Although he cannot imitate Shaoliang's Mo Law rule, our Wei State itself governs the country by legalism. As long as he learns Shaoliang, he pays attention to the people's hearts and opinions, it is actually not much different. Our Wei State can also promulgate and implement Shaoliang's various policies..."
"Including the official business of salt and rice?" Xia Yangjun turned to look at Hui Shi: "All the mountain mines are owned by the country?"
Hui Shi smiled bitterly when she heard this: "I'm afraid..."
Xia Yangjun smiled as if he was not embarrassed by Hui Shi, and then asked again: "What did you argue with the Mozhe just now?"
Hearing this, Huisch was immediately excited and said with great enthusiasm: "There are so many debates. Astronomy, geography, and world wonders.... One day I argued with Mo 's heaven and earth are low, mountains and zodiac signs', and one day I debated with Mo Xing's 'Japanese side China looks down on it, things live and die'..."
“…”
Xia Yangjun looked at Hui Shi with a strange expression, and after a while, he said: "I heard that Liang Mo was debating the pros and cons of the various policies of our Wei State, and why it even turned from prosperity to decline..."
Hui Shi immediately realized that the Xia Yangjun in front of him was not interested in the debate topic he mentioned just now. He was a little disappointed and changed his mind awkwardly: "Also, there are also debates involving various political and political orders in our Wei State. Liang Mo did not restrict outsiders from participating in the debate, and he was very welcome to me for participating in the debate..."
Seeing Hui Shi suddenly looked depressed, Xia Yang Jun immediately guessed what he thought and hinted: "Gongsun Yan's life will not be long. I am just a meritorious person. Although I can see that the good fortune of Liang is beneficial to our Wei State, I am unable to restore our Wei State to its former strength. You are well-read in poetry and books and have the talent to govern the country. I intend to recommend you to serve as the prime minister in the future..."
Hui Shi was surprised and then happy, and then Ai Ai said immediately: "I am just a civilian from the State of Song. I am really afraid to ask for such a thing as a prime minister..."
Xia Yang Jun could certainly see the insincere words of the young man in front of him, and said with a smile: "You have the talent to govern the country, and I will clear the obstacles for you... You also know that Gongsun Yan's "Three Jin Alliance" has failed, and now the king can only adopt the "Little Three Jin Alliance" strategy you advocate... When Gongsun Yan is dismissed from the prime minister, I will recall you to Daliang. You should take the lead in the first place. After a year or two, the king gradually sees your talent, so I recommend you to serve as the prime minister. I believe no one will object."
Hui Shi was very happy, and repeatedly said yes, bowing and saying, "Thank you, Mr. Xia Yang."
"As long as you can contribute to our Wei State."
Xia Yangjun smiled and shook his head, then sighed: "My Wei Kingdom... can't waste time any more..."
Hui Shi's expression became solemn when she heard this, and nodded in agreement.
At the same time, Dongliang Jun, Zhai Hu and Li He were discussing the assistance of Xihe County in the study.
Support must be supported. After all, for the purpose of easing the conflict between the two countries, the Wei State hired him, Shaoliang, and sent troops to help the cities and towns of the above counties. This is like "half-hiring and half-giving" - almost giving the cities and towns and land to him for free. How can Shaoliang not seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
Of course, although it was given for free, Shaoliang also had to put in a lot of energy, manpower and material resources. After all, Lin Hu was not so easy to pass on, otherwise King Wei would not have been persuaded by Xia Yangjun.
But in general, Shao Liang took advantage of it.
The problem is that he sent a few troops from Shaoliang, and after he succeeded, he asked Wei for the cities in Shangjun as rewards.
In response to this, Zhai Hu frowned and said, "It will take a lot of time to expel Lin Hu from Xihe and Shangjun, right?"
"Hmm." Dong Liangjun nodded.
As far as he knows, foreign tribes often invade the Central Plains before the autumn harvest, plundering food, capturing women and children, for a short period of half a year, and return to their tribe before the summer of the next year, and... it is impossible to say that if the Central Plains do not send troops to expel them, those grassland ethnic groups may migrate the entire tribe south.
According to past experience, this war against foreign races often lasts for one to two years. Only when the foreign races are hurt will those foreign races be willing to retreat to the north honestly until the next time they gather to plunder the Central Plains.
After one to two years, Shaoliang naturally could not have been able to dispatch its entire army, otherwise it would be too late to return to the rescue. Therefore, Li He pondered: "...I led the strange army camp and the trap camp to support Xihe. After the autumn harvest, I would merge nearly 20,000 Jianjian soldiers from Zhichuan into the Yuanli Army... The Jianjian soldiers of Zhichuan were originally soldiers of the Wei State Army. They performed well in the past two and three years. They can take advantage of this time to incorporate them into the Yuanli Army..."
Dong Liangjun hesitated: "The Kenjian soldiers have not experienced war for at least two years, and have not trained during this period. You can take them to Xihe..."
"It's just right to use Lin Hu Yiyi to exercise." Li He said with a smile.
Ken Jianzhu is not a real farmer. They are all from the former Wei army. Even if they have been abandoned for more than two years of training, at least they still have experience. If they train a little on the battlefields of Xihe and Shangjun, they can almost recover to a level of 70%. The effect is much better than simple training.
"...In addition, we will transfer the Dongliang Army to the first battalion."
Li He continued: "In short, the two thousand mile army, Zheng Hou and Hua Jia led 10,000, and I personally took 10,000. In addition, three thousand strange soldiers, five thousand Dongliang crossbow army, and one thousand trapped soldiers, totaling 29,000."
"Come 30,000." Zhai Hu suggested, "Call my nephew Zhai Zhang to collect a thousand people from Pi's family and go with you, so that you can take this opportunity to exercise."
"Okay." Li He nodded.
After the three of them discussed, Li He ordered someone to invite Xia Yang Jun into the study and inform the latter of his Shaoliang's troops.
When he learned that Shaoliang wanted to raise 30,000 troops to rush to Xihe, it was not included in the Dongliang Army, which had the strongest combat effectiveness. Xia Yang Jun could understand that this time, Li He was in charge of the troops and sent three thousand Shaoliang soldiers, which was enough to prove Shaoliang's sincerity.
However, when you think of the 30,000 Shaoliang army, more than 20,000 people were once soldiers of his Wei State, Xia Yang Jun couldn't help but feel a little emotional and sighed.
On the afternoon of the same day, Li He drove to Zhichuan Camp in person and ordered Wu Ying, Duan Fu, Wang Shu and other generals to summon military soldiers and announced in public the matter of rushing to Xihe County.
Originally, the Kenjianzhan in Zhichuan Camp had a short period of more than half a year of criminal service, and they would not be able to obtain freedom until May and June next year, and one or two years longer. However, Li He promised that any Kenjianzhan who had the remaining two years of "criminal service" would be able to join the Yuanli Army after the autumn harvest this year, gain freedom and become a member of Shaoliang's army.
For a moment, the entire Zhichuan camp cheered and everyone rushed to join the Yuanli Army.
On the first day of September, Li He ordered three thousand outstanding soldiers to be summoned to the old Liang, and used the eight thousand kilograms of mutton and two thousand kilograms of wine to reward the outstanding soldiers and the 1,000 soldiers led by Li Ying, as well as other dishes such as fried fish, stew, chicken and other dishes.
After nearly 3,000 surprise soldiers and 1,000 soldiers who were trapped in the battle, he officially announced the rush to Xihe County. He then took Xia Yangjun and Mo Jian and more than 200 Mo family disciples across the river bridge in the north of Fanpang, which had not yet been completed, to Pi's town, and then crossed the road to Xihe County of Wei.
