Chapter 116: The sound of the east and the west, the sword is pointed at Goguryeo
Mr. Yuan Hao reminded. After the army was reorganized, it was transferred to the garrison. Yuan Xi said.
"The lord just said that he should resist Xianbei, and the minister has an idea." Guo Tu stepped forward.
"Oh?" Yuan Xi picked up the tea bottle: "What do you think?" ”
Guo Tu said: "Xianbei is powerful and difficult to eliminate, but it can be said to be peaceful." Didn't Jixian County build a market, exchanging grain for their horses, which not only weakened their strength, but also solved the famine in Xianbei, they.... ”
"Shut up!"
Yuan Xi's face was slightly gloomy, and he said: "The Xianbei clan is a murderous person, and they have slaughtered the people on my border many times. In the first battle of Daijun, corpses were everywhere, and rivers of blood flowed, even women, children and the elderly were not spared. The people of the counties are also nine out of ten. How can I make peace with them? ”
"Uh..."
Guo Tu looked surprised and stepped aside.
He muttered in his heart: "Aren't Wuhuan and Xianbei the same?" It's all alien. Why did you accept Wuhuan but not Xianbei? Isn't it also Yuan Xi's idea to establish a market in Jixian County and exchange grain for horses, why don't you agree with it? ”
He wanted to follow Yuan Xi's train of thought and take a good picture of the horse, but he didn't expect to be reprimanded.
Tian Feng watched the joke from the sidelines.
He said slowly: "The lord understands the righteousness and thinks about the people on the border, which is really a blessing for the people. However, every year of the war, the people are overwhelmed, and if they raise swords again, it is the people who suffer. The minister reconsidered Mr. Yuan Hao's words, and ordered Tian Yu and Tian Chou to guard the border, Xianbei had suffered a big loss, and he would not dare to commit it in three or five years. ”
"This is not discussed in advance."
Yuan Xi already had a plan, but he didn't want to say it clearly: "The matter of reorganizing the army is a matter for the generals to worry about. I hope that within a month, I will see the foot riding of the two states of Jiyou and Youzhou, with a new look. After that, Yan Liang and Gao Ran, commanding 70,000 infantry troops, entered Hanoi. Zhang Jaw, Yu Ban, and Ju Yi commanded all the cavalry and chariots, and stationed in Jixian County. ”
"Let's all retreat."
Yuan Xi said his decision, and without explanation, he brushed his sleeves away.
"Congratulations to my lord..." The civil and military were suspicious. Yuan Xi transferred all the infantry troops to Hanoi. What is the purpose of transferring all the cavalry and chariots to Jixian County in Youzhou? Is it to attack Xianbei?
Frustration remained.
He followed Yuan Xi to the study and asked his doubts: "Lord..." ”
"Are you trying to persuade me not to attack Xianbei?" Yuan Xi asked with a smile.
"Yes."
"After the Battle of Guandu and the Battle of Yushui, our military strength is not as good as before. The people begged for peace, and the soldiers were so tired that it was not appropriate to move troops. The minister suggested that he take a year off, first annex Zhang Yan's Montenegrin army, strengthen the army, and then go north to conquer Xianbei, it is not too late. ”
"Hehe..." Yuan Xi smiled vigorously and said, "Even you didn't see my intentions, so the enemy couldn't see it?" ”
"Isn't the lord going to ask for Xianbei?"
"Of course not."
"That's?" Frustrated with some surprises.
"Recently, have you heard about the envoys of Goguryeo coming to ask for marriage?" Yuan Xi asked.
"The minister heard about it, and Lord Guo Tu consulted with the Goguryeo envoys many times, but to no avail. I don't know what the lord means? ”
Yuan Xi said: "I don't want to marry the Goguryeo princess, let Guo Tu try to delay." When he could not delay any longer, our armies were reorganized. The envoy returned to Goguryeo to report on his work and explain the truth. Sir think about it, what will Goguryeo do? ”
"My Liaodong troops are empty, and they are unbearable, so they will bring a large army here." Frustrated.
"That's right. At that time, I will personally lead the iron cavalry to meet the Goguryeo army, and destroy its main force on our land. In one fell swoop, he recovered his land and sent him back to his hometown in Buyeo. In this way, the border can be peaceful forever. Yuan Xi said.
"The lord is wise..."
Fu Zhu looked thoughtful: "The terrain in Goguryeo is complicated, if you attack Goguryeo, the casualties will be too great, and it is indeed a clever plan to lead the enemy to the territory of Liaodong and gather and annihilate it." It's just that.... ”
"Just what?"
Frustrated replied, "It's just.... Liaodong's troops are empty, and our iron cavalry and chariots are stationed in Jixian County, and I am afraid that it will be too late to rescue. If Liaodong is really lost, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”
"Mr. Fu doesn't have to worry, He Mao and Cui Yan will guard Liaodong. From Jixian to Liaodong, although it is thousands of miles, our cavalry is fast, and it can be reached in three days. Besides, I put the cavalry and chariots in Jixian County, not only to gallop to Xiangping, but also to go to Xuansu County. The north of Xuansu is the old nest of Goguryeo, and a sneak attack will be successful. ”
"I see..."
Frustrated with relief.
It was as if he could already see the dawn of victory.
"Mr. Fu, this matter is top secret, you must not leak it. If it leaks and lets Goguryeo know, they will be prepared. Not good for my expeditionary army. Yuan Xi admonished.
"Yes. The minister will never mention it again. "Frustrated, bow and leave.

Return to the Assassin's House.
The Zhen brothers and sisters sat together and chatted.
"What are you talking about?" Yuan Xi walked in.
"The lord (husband)." The three stood up and saluted.
"Sit all down, sit down..." Yuan Xi pressed his hand, also found a place to sit down, and said: "In the future, in the mansion, don't have too much etiquette, I'm not used to it." I heard Mi'er say, you want to buy a mansion, but can you buy it? ”
"Back to my lord, I've already bought it. Just behind the Thorn Mansion, next to four streets, easy to pass. There are trees and bamboo forests next to it, which is very good. Zhen Yan said.
"Yes, yes..."
Zhen Yao also said: "I didn't find it before, there is such a good place in Yecheng." I knew that I should have moved the Zhen family to Yecheng, and I didn't have to find someone to help now. ”
"The concubine will retire first."
Zhen Mi was inconvenient to listen to, so she led the maids away.
Yuan Xi nodded at her, and then looked at Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao: "You came to the Thorn History Mansion for the Xi Paper and Qiong Jelly Jade Liquid Bar?" ”
"The Lord is wise. Exactly for this. ”
"Jizhou has just been recovered, and all kinds of ruins are waiting to be built, and paper mills and distilleries have not been built. If you want to wholesale Xi paper and Qiong Jelly Jade Liquor, you can only go to Jixian County. I have already said hello to Mr. Xun, and from now on, I will only wholesale to the Zhen family. The price has been raised to 800 yuan per bottle. After you get it, you can increase it by 100 yuan and then wholesale it to other families. As for Hee paper .... Not many people know about it now, and it's not famous. I originally wanted to spend some time to make Xi Paper's business bigger, but I really don't have time, so I'll leave it all to you. Its price is 80 yuan a piece, and each sheet is three feet in size. You guys have no opinion, right? ”
"No, no, no..."
Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao couldn't keep their mouths together.
With Yuan Xi's support, their Zhen family's business will get bigger and bigger, and there will be more and more money, plus Zhen Mi is favored and Yuan Zhuo is the eldest son. They didn't dare to imagine what glory the Zhen family would be in the future.
For this reason, they are willing to pay any price to help Yuan Xi achieve great things.
