In the winter in Shangjun, it came earlier than Shaoliang. It began to snow when it was approaching late October. By the end of November, the areas around Chiyi and Baiyi were covered with white snow.

Fortunately, the Yuanli army led by Zheng Hou and Hua Jia had already built a camp next to Baiyi City, so it would not be affected by the ice and snow.

Speaking of the Yuanli Army, we have to mention the grudge between this army and the Wei Wushu. Since the first time this army arrived in Baiyi, they have had some unhappiness with the Wei Wushu led by Fang Han. In the final analysis, it was because of the King of Wei - who asked the King of Wei to redeem more than 4,000 Wei Wushu in Changbai, but allowed the Yuanli soldiers who were still captured by Shaoliang at that time to continue farming on the Zhichuan Plain?

Although the soldiers of the Yuanli Army have now joined the nationality of Shaoliang, they still have considerable resentment towards the King of Wei and the Wei Wushou.

The King of Wei was far away in Daliang, and the soldiers and generals of the Yuanli Army could not see it, but the Wei Wuzhang now lives with them in Baiyi, and they are bound to have some friction when they are together day and night.

Of course, no matter how friction is, it has not yet risen to the point where it is always fighting. After all, the soldiers of Yuanli also understand that they may not be the opponents of Wei Wuzhu, not to mention that they have been a farmer in Shaoliang for more than three years, and their skills as military soldiers are abandoned. If they have any battle with Wei Wuzhu, they will definitely not be the opponents.

Therefore, the soldiers from all over the Yuanli Army were restrained. Seeing Wei Wushou at most, they would mock each other, but they would never attack each other, so as not to be embarrassed and lose the formation in the end.

Fang Han, the general of Wei Wuzhang, noticed the signs and told Xia Yangjun that this matter was made. So Xia Yangjun found Li He again and complained: "Look at the good things you did that day!"

Li He pretended to ask the King of Wei to redeem the Wei Wu soldiers to separate the relationship between the Wei Wu soldiers and the Wei army. He wanted to win over the captured Wei Zheng soldiers to his Shaoliang country. However, he did not expect that he would fight side by side with the Wei army today. After a smile and an apology without any practical significance, he sent Xia Yang Jun away.

Maybe he thought Li He was unreliable, so Xia Yangjun found two former subordinates, Zheng Hou and Hua Jia.

After learning about Xia Yangjun's purpose, Zheng Hou spread his hands and said helplessly: "This matter is not because one or two soldiers have prejudices against the Wushang. From Wu Ying, Wang Shu, Duan Fu and other generals to ordinary soldiers, they all have a deep resentment towards the Wushang, and the last generals can do nothing."

From the side, Hua Jiayi smiled and said, "This is the fault of the King of Wei in the past, and I have nothing to do with it."

"Stop!" Xia Yang Jun was very unhappy and said with dissatisfaction: "In short, you two want to restrain the soldiers. Don't deepen the conflict between the two armies, whether for the relationship between Wei and Shaoliang, or for the joint fight against Lin Hu this time!"

As Xia Yangjun's former old subordinates, without involving Shao Liang's interests, Zheng Hou and Hua Jia were naturally willing to sell their face to the old boss, and agreed with a smile: "Okay, Xia Yangjun, don't worry, I will train those little kids hard now, so that they don't have the energy to provoke Wu Zu."

So, since late October, the Yuanli Army began to resume training. Even though the wind and snow weather did not stop, they practiced in the camp and outside the camp every day, trying to make up for the vacancies that were farmers in the past three years.

When he learned that the Yuanli Army was undergoing restoration training, Zhai Hu's nephew Zhai Zhang also joined him with more than a thousand Pi's soldiers.

During this period, the cavalry of the coalition forces were also intensifying training, and the three thousand Liang Qi soldiers were gradually transformed into crossbow cavalry. The heavy cavalry, which was regarded as a "fatal hammer" by Li He, was also strictly trained under the supervision of the left guard Hu Hai.

In addition, the 1,500 Hu cavalrymen in Hu Hai's hands, after the spring of next year, the coalition forces will have almost 7,000 crossbows and heavy cavalry.

This is already a very powerful force.

If Alu, the leader of the Yunshui Tribe, kept his promise and moved his tribe's tribe members to Baiyi, then his coalition forces would be happy to win nearly a thousand Hu Qi.

On the contrary, it doesn't matter. Seven thousand cavalry is enough to complete Li He's strategy of expelling Lin Hu from Xihe and Shangjun.

In mid-November, two young Liang soldiers who sent a letter to Li He rode back to Baiyi in the wind and snow, and handed a thick bag of letters to Li He.

These letters were all given to Li He, including Dongliang Jun, Zhai Hu, Hu Lao, Wang Yi, Fan Hu and many others, as well as Liang Ji and Hu Yue.

Li He took the lead in dismantling Dongliang Jun's letter.

The letters of the old man Dongliangjun were as rigorous as his personality. There was no nonsense in the whole article, and they roughly wrote four things.

First, everything in Shaoliang is in good condition and the development is very smooth, so Li He doesn't have to worry about it.

Secondly, the merchants of Qi had transported most of the food worth 30 million Qi's sword coins to Shaoliang, and these merchants were very satisfied with the "Shaoliang Wine" brewed by the old Liang.

Third, in view of the sufficient food in China, Dongliang Jun decided to stop the rationing system nationwide and switch to the salary system as planned.

Fourth, when Zhao Hou passed away, his son Zhao Fu refused to submit to the crown prince Zhao Yu and launched an army to rebel. At present, Zhao State was in civil strife.

The first three things were all things in Shaoliang. Suddenly, the civil strife in Zhao State was involved, which surprised Li He.

But after thinking about it, he understood: Dongliang Jun probably learned that he intended to win over the Lin clan of Zhao, so he informed him of this matter. After all, when Zhao was in civil strife, it was basically difficult for Lindi to get support from Taiyuan County and even Julu County. In this case, if Lindi wants to recover the lost territory and expel Lin Hu, he has to rely on the power of Shaoliang and Wei. It depends on whether Li He can seize this opportunity.

Having vaguely guessed the meaning of Dongliang Jun, Li He immediately ordered Hu Ben, who was part-time as the chief guard, to say, "Hu Ben, go and invite Dr. Lin Yuan to come."

"Okay." Hu Ben nodded and left.

Before Lin Yuan came, Li He demolished the letters from Zhai Hu, Wang Yi, Fan Hu, and Old Hu one by one.

Unlike Dong Liangjun's letters, Zhai Hu's content in the letter was basically not nutritious. In the letter, he first praised the sweetness of "Shaoliang Wine", and then entrusted Li He to take care of his nephew Zhai Zhang more, and finally said, and finally said that before the spring of next year, he would bring wine and food to reward the army and congratulate the coalition forces on their great defeat of Lin Hu in advance.

"Don't you just want to see your nephew?"

Li He shook his head speechlessly, put Zhai Hu's letter aside, and took Wang Yi's letter.

As the eldest son of Dong Liangjun, Wang Yi naturally did not have the same content as Zhai Hu. In the letter, he mainly mentioned the subsequent impact of "Qi State lending".

After all, the eight or nine million stones of grain sent by Qi State to Shaoliang passed through Wei State, Wei State, Han State and Qin State on the way.

Wei State has nothing to say. Wei State was once a powerful country in a small country and was comparable to Lu. But now seeing that Dongliang Jun had not yet established diplomatic relations with Wei State, we know that Dongliang Jun did not take Wei State seriously at all. Of course, the more important reason was to take Wei State's emotions. After all, the King of Wei State hated Wei State's past betrayal. If it weren't for the protection of Qi, the King of Wei State would have sent troops to divide the Wei State with Zhao State.

In addition to Wei, the other three kingdoms of Qin, Wei and Han have to explain.

Fortunately, South Korea has no inevitable conflict of interests with Qi. Therefore, after learning that Shaoliang had obtained a loan from Qi, Han Hou sent someone to ask casually.

Perhaps Han Hou might even want to follow Shaoliang to borrow money from Qi State. After all, he can borrow money for ten years, and the interest rate is not high, so he will not borrow for free if he doesn't borrow it.

In contrast, the reactions between Qin and Wei countries became more intense.

After all, Qi is a potential enemy of Qin and Wei. Shao Liang is now swaying between Qin and Wei, and secretly joining the line of Qi. How could the monarchs of Qin and Wei not be surprised?

When the first batch of Qi merchants arrived in Shaoliang, envoys from Wei and Qin arrived almost at the same time. Wei sent Prince Wei, who had a good relationship with Xia Yang Jun and Hui Shi, as the envoy, as the envoy, while Wei Yang came forward in person.

As Zong Bo, who was in charge of diplomatic relations at Shao Liang, Wang Yi tried his best to persuade him and tried his best to dispel the suspicion of Wei Yang and Wei Se. Then, the foreign friends visited Shao Liang again accompanied by Wang Yi.

"Let's not talk about Wei Zhu, right? Did Wei Yang... come a little hardworking?"

Li He frowned slightly.

In his impression, Wei Yang always liked to run towards him, Shaoliang, and he would steal a lot of things from him, Shaoliang every time.

For example, when he was in Shaoliang's land reform, it is said that Wei Yang also wanted to do it in Qin and gradually take back the land of the whole country to the monarch.

Although I don’t know whether it is true or not, Li He estimated that if Wei Yang dared to do this, he would definitely offend the nobles of Qin who died.

If Wei Yang had flexible methods and knew how to compromise and sacrifice some of his interests with those nobles, it would not have stimulated the nobles of Qin at once. But if Wei Yang was eager to succeed, Wei Yang's fate might not be too good.

Speaking of Wei Yang, the national conditions of Shaoliang and Qin were completely different. How could he copy Shaoliang's government orders?

With such emotion in his heart, Li He dismantled the letter from Fan Hu, a doctor from Dongliang.

As a retainer of Dongliang Jun, Fan Hu may have been influenced by his family. There was no nonsense in the letter, but he only told Li He two things with the joy that could not be concealed between the lines.

The first thing is that Dongliang wine brewed by Laoliang is very beneficial. He asked Dongliang Jun to set up a brewing department and appointed Hu Fei as the director, who was responsible for brewing wine.

According to Fan Hu's estimate, as long as Qi State recognized his Shaoliang's fine wine, he would be able to pay off 30 million Qi Dao's loan in ten years.

Fan Hu also made a special calculation on this.

Li He was amused and laughed: "You Fan Hu want to borrow a chicken to lay eggs, so don't you consider the mood of Qi?"

Borrowing chickens to lay eggs will offend people.

In contrast, he cared more about the second thing Fan Hu said, that is, the shops in Dongliang City were almost sold out by merchants in Qi State.

Although Fan Hu happily told Li He in the letter that Dongliang City had obtained a lot of money and stable rent, Li He did not think this was a good thing. After all, what he hoped was that merchants from all countries in the world gathered in Dongliang, rather than that the merchants in Qi were the dominant ones.

Just when he picked up the pen and was about to write a reply to Fan Hu, Hu Ben brought Lin Yuan to the house.

Lin Yuan smiled and bowed, "Doctor Ziliang is calling me to come down, do you have any instructions?"

"Don't dare."

Li He stood up and invited Lin Yuan to sit down on the chair beside him, then took out the letter from Dongliang Jun, and gave Lin Yuan the passage related to the chaos in Zhao. He asked: "I learned about this from the country, but I don't know whether it is true or false. I want to ask Dr. Lin to solve my doubts."

Lin Yuan looked at Li He in confusion, then frowned and looked at the content of Dong Liang Jun's letter. After only scanning his eyes, his face changed drastically: "How could this... be?"

"Doctor Lin didn't know before?"

"I..." Lin Yuan's face turned slightly pale, his mind was a little shaken, and he murmured: "No wonder the reinforcements from Taiyuan have not arrived yet..."

As soon as he heard him speak, Li He guessed that the chaos in Zhao was indeed in trouble.
