Chapter 617: Decisive Victory

Making the best use of people's talents is the biggest headache for Wang Ju at the moment.

But fortunately, the people who came to defect right now are not straw bags, and the most straw bag Wei Chi Xunyu is still mixing in the guest house, quite responsible, not to mention other people?

Speaking of which, the vast majority of these people who fled east are the top talents of this era, the vast majority of them have the best education, and they all have the experience of eunuchs, some have led soldiers, and some have been in charge of the state capital, which is not a small role for His Royal Highness King Wei.

Even if the system of the Shence Army was different from that of the other Tang Army, those military attachés would enter the Fifth Army Camp except for a small number of relatively good people, and the rest of the people really couldn't find any use, so they were put in charge of public security and arresting thieves.

These people are also peaceful, not to mention any depression, after all, now is the rest of their lives, everyone knows that what they are doing now is not for the sake of the present, but for the future, the second prince ascended the throne and became the son of heaven, which is the most important.

It's just the life of Luoyang, but they are a little unaccustomed, the life here is too compact, everyone is like a spinning top, always spinning, without stopping, these people are used to being idle, even if they are officials, it is also quiet and plain, and the emphasis is on not hurrying or slow, quiet as a virgin, but this is not the case here at all.

The yamen here is not as spacious as Chang'an, not that the yamen is dilapidated, on the contrary, the yamen here is new nine times out of ten, and the decoration is also good, but the same yamen, maybe the officials in Chang'an are full of seventy or eighty people, but here, the number of people is ten times that of there, no matter how big or small, it seems to be managed, the officials below. Although they are also respectful, they do not have the kind of groveling that is completely dependent on the officials, everyone performs their own duties, and the rooms in the yamen do not interfere with each other, but the rights and responsibilities are clearly divided.

Every morning, I arrived at the Yali. I made a pot of tea by myself, and then started to work, which is different from Chang'an, Chang'an's officials, as if they are all miscellaneous officials, can be described as 'able to write and martial arts', let them serve tea and water, they are in the line, teach them to check the accounts. They also do the delivery of official documents, but here, the account books are read in the public house, the people who are in charge of the official documents are in charge of the official documents, and the people who go to negotiate with the council hall go to the council hall, and each thing is divided into countless small details, and then let the special people do it. Outcome...... There are no full-time handymen, which makes people complain. However, this person who is used to being an official in Luoyang did not complain too much, so he had to say a few words to him, it turned out that the officials of the Shence Mansion and the Five Military Mansions were all making up, and there were a lot of Yulu every year, and once they were recruited, they had to be raised for a lifetime. However, there is only so much money and food allocated by the council hall every year, and if each government recruits a few useless handymen, how many people will have to be recruited? How much money does it cost to feed each year?

Apparently...... It's a completely new system, so their words are always half-understood. It's like you're a hillbilly in town, eh...... This is true, compared with Chang'an, Luoyang's development has been advancing rapidly, it is really a giant city, Chang'an is really a small Guo compared to it.

Since there is something to do, what about the guest house, and every other day will send someone to greet a few words, it is nothing more than to ask if you are used to living in the guest house, what is the difficulty of the guest house can help, plus since it is a guest from afar, then His Royal Highness the King of Wei is the master, it is good to have a place to live here, the world is big, since you have chosen to oppose Wei, this place to stay is only Luoyang.

So...... I had to slowly integrate in.

Although there are many places that are not used to it, but slowly, I have also realized the benefits here, such as the goods here are more varied, the clothes are actually ready-made, and there are many styles, in addition, all kinds of rouge gouache is the same, but the price is cheaper, a lot of insignificant things in life, such as in the past, no matter how expensive and low, people are brushing their teeth with wicker, but now, toothbrushes have begun to be popular here, this kind of bone, horn, bamboo, wood and other materials, drill pores in the head two rows, The gadgets planted with horsetails are not only beautiful, but also very convenient, Luoyang people are said to have used them for a long time, and because of large-scale production, the price is not too expensive, and all kinds of styles are available, as long as you have money, you can also buy it if it is made of jade.

The life here gives people the feeling of fine, in many insignificant places, it seems to have become a business opportunity for businessmen, and some people even joked, saying that those who have connections or strong capital giants, do business is often very rough, not mining, or exercising steel, or doing cattle and horse leather goods trading, but small and medium-sized businessmen, in this kind of big capital of business competition is not much, so they focus more on small details, such as toothbrushes, such as ready-to-wear, even shoes and socks, as well as crowns and hats, especially ready-to-wear, The clothes worn by people here are different from other places, especially ordinary clothes, especially the changes are great, because now the vast majority of ordinary people are workers, and if the workers wear large sleeves or long skirts with open crotch, they will inevitably get in the way, so this kind of tight-fitting clothes are very popular, and there is a tendency to replace the original clothing, many people call it overalls, only when they are guests or visiting relatives and friends, everyone will wear the clothes in the past.

The price of things here is actually not high, naturally thanks to the continuous large-scale production of the workshops, but the cost is not small, after all, there are too many things needed, and it is no longer the life of firewood, rice, oil and salt in the past.

The people who defected, plus their relatives, have exceeded tens of thousands, and these tens of thousands of people were once the great families of this dynasty, and now they have gradually integrated with Luoyang.

It's just that...... After this tense and calm life, many people smell a hint of gunpowder.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Fang Jing and Wang Fangyi, as well as some important military generals, had already gathered in the Wei Palace, and with the promulgation of the edict of the second prince, the situation in the world began to become delicate.

In Chang'an, there was no surprise to Qin Shaoyou, and the edict of the Son of Heaven came to compete with each other. Naturally, he accused Qin Shaoyou of being a traitor to the party, and immediately said that he wanted to beg the thief, send 300,000 troops, and be sure to get rid of the first evil Yunyun.

The imperial court and the Wei Wangfu finally completely tore their faces.

The two sides each ordered the governors of all towns in the world to raise troops to fight the thieves. It is rare to denounce each other's crimes, and as for the 300,000 troops of the imperial court, they really came, but they ...... When they arrived at Hangu Pass, it came to an abrupt end, obviously the Wei family was not crazy, and they knew that the attack on Luoyang was too risky, and they did not plan to make a hammer deal. Chen Bing was in Hangu Pass, wanting to wait for work.

Qin Shaoyou's five military camps also began to assemble, entrenched in various passes, and there was a great appearance of competing with each other, and a big war was about to break out.

Scolding in the air has obviously become the norm, and this side refuses to take the initiative to attack, and that side. It seems that they also want to work at ease, and everyone wants to take advantage of this. However, in order to strengthen their own momentum, in terms of public opinion, they each pretended that their own army was about to set off immediately, and they wanted to smash the spirit of Huanglong in one fell swoop, but they frightened the people of the prefectures and counties on both sides of the pass, and thought that the mountain rain was coming. Who knew that the thunder was rolling, and there was no rain, and the dark clouds were thick for a long time, at most, that is, the skirmishes of the two scouts when they encountered. After half a month, each of them injured seven or eight people, and there was no dead person, so I put my mind at ease, what should I do, of course why did I go, it turned out to be just a false alarm.

It's just that in this tense situation, in fact, the two sides are obviously more concerned about the attitude of the princes of each town.

Whether it was the envoys of the imperial court or the cronies of the Wei Palace, they had already gone to the towns to contact the governors of each town, and it was obvious that after the edicts of Chang'an and Luoyang were issued, the attitude of the princes was extremely delicate.

As for them, the people on this side promised well, and the people on the other side did not seem to have the intention of refusing, at least the vast majority of the governors were like this, probably meeting the envoys of the imperial court in the morning and expressing their loyalty, and in the evening they had a banquet for the people of the king of Wei in their private residences.

This attitude is completely based on one's own interests, and it is a bit of a wait-and-see attitude, which is quite a bit of a meaning that whoever eats the east eats the west, and whoever is in the court will support whom.

In fact, this is excusable, now the situation is not clear, the Wei family, of course, is angry and resentful, but after all, it represents the court of the Eight Classics, the Son of Heaven is still there, after all, the Son of Heaven is still the father of the second prince, where is there a son who wants to beat his father. As for the Wei Palace, it seems that it also occupies the righteousness, but ...... Why do you work so hard?

These people are obviously much more slippery to some people in the temple, and they have now become the real rentiers of the Tang Dynasty, and all considerations are already their own territory.

But...... There are also some people who are resolutely against the second prince, when the Wei family was divided, there were as many as eight or nine children of the Wei family who became governors, which was naturally to curb Qin Shaoyou's considerations, and at the same time, there was also an opportunity to go public through the backdoor, so that the Wei family could make a profit from it.

These people, naturally, can't be at both ends of the snake and mouse, and they will never be able to get the 'forgiveness' of the second prince, since Qin Shaoyou wants to oppose Wei, the anti-nature is himself, at this time...... Naturally, he responded to the call of the imperial court and drove away the envoy sent by Qin Shaoyou, looking like he was incompatible.

In particular, the three mighty towns in the south of Henan Province, they occupied the area of Xuzhou and Huainan, and united with several Wei governors in Chu to fight fiercely, and there was an atmosphere of being a pioneer for the king.

Wei Chen Liang, the governor of Weiwu Town, is Wei's cousin, and his fief is in Xuzhou, where the land is fertile.

Now...... 100,000 elite soldiers have been gathered, and in addition, there is a steady stream of reinforcements involved, this person is quite arrogant, and has repeatedly let small soldiers and horses invade the border of Henan Province and attack caravans.

This kind of attack is obviously just an appetizer, but fortunately he is not crazy, although he continues to attack, he does not send troops to attack with all his strength, his self-confidence only comes from the fact that the vast majority of the troops of the King of Wei are used in the official army of the embankment Hangu Pass, and he is really lacking in skills, and he can't fight on both sides at all.

As for taking the initiative to attack Luoyang, he didn't have too much confidence, but in the face of this kind of attack, Qin Shaoyou's attitude made him a little proud.

Qin Shaoyou did not get angry, but sent envoys every now and then, announcing the policy of the second prince, it is nothing more than a cliché, His Royal Highness the second prince only avenges his brother, and the target is only Hou Wei, as for the rest of the Wei family, it will never be targeted, I hope that several governors can abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and wait until the second prince succeeds to the unification, and the Wei family will definitely be better than today.

Wei Chenliang just thought it was funny when he heard it, how could he believe this kind of nonsense, the so-called skin will not be attached to the hair, the Wei family is gone, the Wei family is a disaster, who doesn't understand this truth? It's just that Qin Shaoyou and Li Chongfu are still playing such a crude trick, do they really think people are fools? It is impossible for him to make peace with Qin Shaoyou, this Qin Shaoyou and Li Chongfu are working in vain.

But...... Qin Shaoyou's low posture still shocked the spirits of the governors gathered in Xuzhou, it was obvious that Qin Shaoyou did not necessarily want to make peace with them, he must have been unable to fight separately, and wanted to use all his energy for the imperial court, so he used such a delaying tactic, nothing more than to stabilize the coalition army in Xuzhou, so as to go west with all his might, in order to break Chang'an with one drum.

In this way, Qin Shaoyou not only had to divide his troops to guard his Henan Mansion and more than 100 counties in more than 30 prefectures to prevent the surrounding princes from encroaching on and annexing his territory, but also to gather a large army and confront the imperial court...... He knew that the possibility of peace was very small, but he still kept trying, which showed that he really had no choice.

In this way, Qin Shaoyou's mind gave great encouragement to the governors of the Wei family, that is, even a few distant relatives of the Wei family who were hesitant seemed to have made up their minds at this time, and directly sent troops to help, more and more armies began to gather, Wei Chenliang was not in a hurry to fight a decisive battle, but slowly accumulated strength, and at the same time increased the intensity of the attack on Qin Shaoyou, a letter of sealing, and also went to the direction of Chang'an, the purpose is self-evident, this is to hope that the imperial court can draw more military horses and horses, and can contain more 'rebels'.
