Chapter 578

Although 100,000 stones are still a big number, Jiang Shixun finally agreed to Wei Wuji's request.
This is not only because Jiang Shixun is under heavy pressure, but also because throughout the conversation, Wei Wuji is giving in.
If Jiang Shixun didn't agree at this time, then he would not be able to guarantee Wei Wuji's reaction later.
Anyone who is rejected three times in a row will feel extremely unhappy, which will inevitably lead to Wei Wuji's anger.
But at this time, Jiang Shixun was not ready to break with Wei Wuji, or Yanshan and Lingbei Camp were originally related to each other, and no one could do without anyone else.
Jiang Shixun was also a man of the officialdom for a long time. This led to a glance between him and Hu Qian. Although he had accumulated his wisdom over the years, he also lost the courage to sacrifice everything.
But this is the case in the world. You will never be able to achieve perfection. Even Wei Wuji himself paid the "price" in his growth.
He now masters the army and becomes more and more proficient in playing power, but he also loses some of his courage...
Because if Wei Wuji had been the first time, when Jiang Shixun rejected him, he might have drawn his sword to him.
Walking outside the military camp of Lingbei Camp, Jiang Shixun's mind was still in the situation in the military tent just now, and even the small scar on Wei Wuji's forehead flashed in front of him at this time.
"Sir, why don't you give in to the young master just now? At least the words shouldn't be so intense!" Ran Xiayun said to Jiang Shixun in parallel.
Fortunately, he had mediated from it before, otherwise the situation would have developed into what it would have been.
Jiang Shixun said in a deep voice: "Wei Ran, do you also think that this official has selfish intentions?"
Ran Xiayun couldn't help but sneer in his heart. It would be strange if he wasn't like this. How could he not know the tricks within the aristocratic clan?
Although Ran Xiayun would also obey the will of the aristocratic clan, he was not the Wu'an clan. So... he was still separated from Jiang Shixun.
For Ran Xiayun, no matter what the grudges between the Wu'an clan and Wei Wuji were, Yanshan's comfort was the most important.
Although they are also among the aristocratic clans, if the interests of Jingbei and Wu'an are contrary to each other, then Ran Xiayun will also follow his own choice of interests.
This is true in Yanshan County, and in various parts of the Wei State... The contradiction between poor families and aristocratic families, the contradiction between the central and local governments, are common.
Not only Wei, but also powerful countries such as Qin, Qi, Chu and Wu, there are even more internal conflicts than Wei.
There are even more vivid examples in front of Qi State. The huge conflict between the monarch and his subjects has made Qi State at this time suffer from an enemy from both sides and a loss of city and territory.
Seeing that Ran Xiayun did not answer, Jiang Shixun continued, "Although there is surplus grain in Jingbei City, it is only 170,000 to 180,000. How can we spend 200,000 stones?"
"Now that the 100,000 military rations are spent, the relief for the people is too short of their ability!" Jiang Shixun sighed.
But Ran Xiayun disagreed with his words... As for the poor people, they will die if they die. The most important thing Wei State lacks is mud legs.
And this is a question that Jiang Shixun should worry about. Ran Xiayun just needs to take care of the soldiers. If the mud-legged men dare to do whatever they want, he will send a large army to suppress it directly.
Ran Xiayun clearly stood on the standpoint of the aristocratic clan and ignored the life and death of poor families.
Perhaps Jiang Shixun also realized that the two could not reach an agreement on this topic, so he couldn't help but sigh again.
"In the future, there will be more dealing with this young man..."
After looking at Ran Xiayun, Jiang Shixun continued: "Ran Wei, I am responsible for raising military rations, but the supply of military supplies is on your head, so you don't think you can stay out of the matter!"
After Jiang Shixun finished speaking, he stopped and, with the help of the servants, got into his carriage.
Seeing Jiang Shixun's convoy leaving, Ran Xiayun stood there in a daze.
What Jiang Shixun said is true. Who can guarantee that Wei Wuji would not make things difficult for him at that time?
So, Ran Xiayun's mind changed again at this time, and he still needed to be on the same front with Jiang Shixun.
This agreement can also be intuitively reflected, the seemingly solid but loose alliance between the aristocratic races, how could they truly achieve unity?
…………
After Jiang Shixun and the others left, a messenger came to report to Wei Wuji, saying that for three days, all the departments involved in the martial arts exercise were in that position.
What Wei Wuji is most concerned about is whether Hu Qian's troops have completed the character.
Although the soldiers who sent the order were not trusted by Wei Wuji, the current messenger was selected by Wei Wuji from his guard to serve as one of them.
Therefore, Wei Wuji was not afraid that the news that was sent back would be false and he would be deceived.
What made Wei Wuji slightly disappointed was that Hu Qian's troops arrived at the pre-ordered position on time and were now waiting for the next order.
After asking the messenger to send someone to invite Du Xiu and Yuan Ming, Wei Wuji waved his hand to let the messenger go out.
Wei Wuji was also cruel enough to say that in order to differentiate the power of the aristocratic clans in the Lingbei Camp, he could be said to be unable to practice.
In the name of martial arts, he transferred all four generals from the aristocratic clans from his original garrison, and Hu Qian was even transferred outside the Great Wall.
However, the army of Yuan Ming and Du Xiu was only moving in a small area within their defense zone.
What made the aristocratic clan even more dissatisfied was that the former Xiangxun troops were now directly under Wei Wuji. With the garrisons in Guihua City, Wei Wuji's directly under the army has now exceeded two.
The Lingbei Camp originally had only 80,000 people and eight armies... Now, four cavalry troops were directly driven by Wei Wuji.
But the aristocratic races still have only two infantry and two cavalry troops in their hands, not to mention that their control is still not absolute, and they cannot control the thoughts of the underground lieutenants and marquises.
This situation is precisely the confidence of Wei Wuji to arrange martial arts in a drastic manner. As long as he has an advantage, he should use this advantage to expand his advantage.
Transferring these troops from the defense zone is a good means of differentiation.
After Yuan Ming and Du Xiu arrived, Wei Wuji discussed with the two of them again and discussed the determination of the locations of the various departments.
In this small-scale discussion, Wei Wuji insisted on one decision, which was to let Hu Qian temporarily stay outside the Great Wall and build a camp in a suitable location.
This decision made Yuan and Du very puzzled, and even acted in opposition.
After all, Lingbei Camp has now damaged its vitality, so the Great Wall is the top priority. To be safe, it is naturally safer to garrison within the Great Wall.
But Wei Wuji insisted on his opinion and expressed his strategic intentions to the two.
When they learned about Wei Wuji's true purpose, even though these two people had experienced the storm for a long time, they had to sigh at the height of Wei Wuji's appetite.
It is precisely because this step was taken too much that Wei Wuji had to ask these two elders for advice to make up for his shortcomings of insufficient experience.
Of course, Wei Wuji still hopes that he can convince these two people because he needs their support.
But the strategy of the Hu people cannot be formulated simply. All of this requires Wu'an to make a decision, and the Lingbei Camp cannot be overruled.
In other words, Wei Wuji's idea still convinced the two of them, but Wu'an needed to agree.
This made Wei Wuji breathe a sigh of relief, and convincing these two people was the most important thing.
