Chapter 261: Inspecting the Secret Merger
Although Xu You is greedy for money, he is still very strategic in his chest: "Lord, it is now late autumn, and in the winter future, although the Yellow River will freeze, but the freezing period is very short, and I don't know when, we currently have a large number of soldiers and horses, and the money and food accumulated in the past days are limited, which is not enough to support such a huge army for too many days, if the military food is exhausted, and the Yellow River is not frozen, at that time, we will fall into passivity, Lin Sen has been entrenched in Jizhou for about ten years, and the reserves are sufficient, but he consumes it, but we can't afford it. The subordinates suggested that we should withdraw from the army, and focus on the development of internal affairs, as long as we also hold the Yellow River, Lin Sen will also not be able to pass, and wait for the situation to change in the future, and then use troops to Jizhou. ”
"My lord, no." Wang Qiang immediately stood up and disagreed, and said: "Now that Lin Sen Qingzhou has been defeated, and the morale has been greatly reduced, if we can't take the opportunity to completely defeat Lin Sen and occupy Jizhou, then we have lost this God-given opportunity, and I am afraid it will be very difficult to have such an opportunity in the future." ”
Guo Tu agrees with Wang Qiang's point of view, he wants to kill Jizhou again and let the people of Jizhou see that he is a great talent, and it was a big mistake for Lin Sen to depose him because of something: "Lord, what Wang Qiang said is extremely true, Liu Jingsheng of Jingzhou is famous for his elite sailors, and he also has a deep hatred with Lin Sen, so it is better for us to invite him to send a navy to help in the war, and the sailors who want to come to Lin Sen are definitely not his opponents, so we can cross the Yellow River safely and recover Jizhou." ”
Feng Ji obviously held the same view as Xu You: "My lord, even if we can cross the Yellow River, can we really defeat Lin Sen?" The most important thing in marching and fighting is money and food, and Lin Sen is obviously much better than us in this regard, and Jizhou is his territory. If he sets up defenses in one city and one county, the battle line will inevitably be lengthened. The war will drag on indefinitely, and our grain and grass reserves will certainly not be able to support it. The lord should think twice! ”
"Lord ......"
Guo Tu obviously wanted to continue arguing, Xu You preemptively said: "Lord, we have achieved our goal, occupy the entire Qingzhou except for Pingyuan County, we should develop internal affairs and accumulate money and grain, this is our top priority at present, as for what Guo Gong said, we should wait until we accumulate enough money and food before we can exercise it." ”
Yuan Shao was originally an indecisive person. This is a well-known thing, at this time, seeing that the two sides are arguing, his original confidence in firmly attacking Jizhou has also disappeared, obviously Xu You and Feng Ji's views dominate his thoughts, although he said that he trusted Wang Qiang, but he didn't think so in his heart, Qingzhou is now nominally his, but he still needs to sort out Qingzhou's internal affairs, especially Wang Qiang. Wang Qiang has been entrenched in Le'an Country for many years, and he is actually the emperor of Le'an Country, if he does not completely clean up, he will never feel at ease in his heart.
"What Ziyuan and Yuan Tu said is reasonable. Now is not the time to attack Jizhou. ”
"My lord." Guo Tu and Wang Qiang still wanted to argue, but Yuan Shao waved his hand and said, "Alas, I have made up my mind. Gao Lan, Zhang Jaw, and Lu Yi, the three of you led an army of 500,000 to garrison the south bank of the Yellow River. Observe Lin Sen's movements at any time, and the other soldiers and horses will retreat with me tomorrow. ”
Lin Sen waited peacefully on the north bank of the Yellow River. However, for several days in a row, Yuan Shao did not find that the army was coming, and he did not know the movements of the other party, so he felt very uncomfortable.
Soon, the news of Yuan Shao's withdrawal was conveyed to Lin Sen's case: "Yuan Benchu withdrew from the army, and it seems that he is not ready to fight us in winter." ”
"But he still has hundreds of thousands of troops left, and if we cross the river, we will inevitably be hit head-on, which is not good for us, so it is better for us to stop our troops for the time being and wait for the times to change."
"What he said is true, it should be so, but don't worry, in case Yuan Shao just dangles a shot, take advantage of our negligence to lead the troops back, or observe the situation first."
A few days later, Wu Tong came back and came to Pingyuan County.
"Tongtong, you know everything, right?"
"Hmm." Wu Tong nodded and said, "Wang Qiang is really too hateful, too untrustworthy, we haven't suffered losses, right?" ”
"Fortunately, I noticed it in time, and I didn't lose anything, since Wang Qiang can be treacherous, then I can't show mercy to my subordinates, and my previous agreement with him will be invalidated, but I'm afraid that he will retaliate in reality, so I changed places to live and won't go back for the time being."
"My dad told me to let you change places, my dad was also very angry when he learned the news, and was tricked by the Wang family, but I heard that Wang Qiang has a good relationship with the daughter of a big family, and it seems that he is ready to get married, so my dad has no choice, he asked me to tell you to try not to let Wang Qiang find you, although it is not fatal, but everything in the game will be lost is inevitable, let you be careful."
"It's okay, this place is very private now, Wang Qiang won't be able to find it for a while, I'll change another place after a few days of stability, I won't go back if I don't collapse the Wang family."
Wu Tong said angrily: "The hateful Wang Qiang, he is really a complete villain, he is angry with me." ”
"Hahaha, Wang Qiang won't be able to live a good life in the game for a few days, and this time it's not over if they don't let their family plant a big heel."
"Well, I'm sure you'll do it."
Originally, Lin Sen was still suspicious of Wu Tong's father, after all, he was also present at the collegiate meeting, but Wu Tong didn't mention a word, nor did he explain, Lin Sen knew the reason, thinking about it before and after, Wu Tong's father must not have participated, otherwise he would not have walked out of the community and escaped safely.
Anyway, this catastrophe finally escaped safely, and he didn't lose anything, but he was like a lost dog, he couldn't go back to his home, all thanks to Wang Qiang's favor, he needed to repay this kindness.
More than ten days later, the news came back that Yuan Shao had led the army back to Linzi, Lin Sen was completely settled, all the money and grain had arrived, and the army was still stationed here, he led several special troops back to Wei County, this year's battle is over, just wait for next year, see if there is a chance to attack Qingzhou again.
Lin Sen returned to Ye County, and immediately told Lin Sen about the development of Hebei, Youzhou, and the three states this year, in addition to natural disasters, the development of various places is normal, especially the players in the state and Youzhou have tasted the sweetness, although they have lost their military power, but it seems that it doesn't matter anymore, and the money is the happiest when they are in their pockets, and they don't seem to be so resistant to Lin Sen's master, but they hope that Lin Sen's rule will last longer, and Lin Sen's method of buying things with money is still very effective.
He is an idle man, although there is no war in winter, but he can't show off in reality at the moment, and his whereabouts must be hidden, so he wants to go to the various places in Bingzhou and Youzhou to see if the local area is really as the report says.
The second time the micro-server went on patrol, but now the players all recognize his appearance, even if he carefully disguises himself, the player will recognize it as long as he observes carefully, which is no way to do it.
This time he didn't bring Dian Wei, Dian Wei is too obvious, it's not better than him to dress up, and he brought Geng Wu, Li Damu and Zhang Leigong instead, the three of them don't often appear in the player's field of vision, and they don't have too high fame, just right, in addition, Yulin Shenwei and Crazy Thunder Daoist are all disguised and scattered, scattered around Lin Sen, and go out on patrol together, unaware.
First of all, I went to Merge State, and the resistance of the Merge State players to him was the fiercest, not to mention that the local form was very complicated, and there were also several trade fields with the Xiongnu and Xianbei in the border pass, and these places were all places that Lin Sen wanted to inspect.
The administrative office of the state is located in Jinyang, Taiyuan County, in addition to a few border passes, the main soldiers and horses of the state are all gathered here, and the money and grain required by the Jiguan Chen to the department are also transferred from here, in addition to going out to inspect, Zang Hong usually also deals with the affairs of the state in Jinyang.
Taiyuan, Shangdang, Xihe three counties are the richest places in the state, so there are many heroes, since the complete defeat of the Si Li player, Huangfu Song threatened with force, Zang Hong soothed with good words, the local system NPC gradually attached to the Lin Sen camp, Zang Hong took the opportunity to use the thunder means to completely eliminate a few families who had committed crimes, these powerful families became frightened, co-authored not only to say, people are really good at killing, and slowly admitted this fact.
Lin Sen was unimpeded along the way, although there would be battles between players from time to time along the way, but all of them went outside the city to solve, almost three or five groups of fights, and the large scale was only a dozen or twenty people on one side, and there was no big impact, it was winter, and there were no good projects, so the mercenary union and the ring match were a place where players gathered, and it was right to compete and make money.
For the people of the system, the winter resource management office is the most lively, many people work hard for a day, and in the afternoon, one by one they come to the resource management office with their harvest, or wood, or stone, or iron ore, or some fur medicinal materials, all of which are exchanged for food or money.
This winter doesn't seem too cold for them, the reason is that under Lin Sen's welfare policy, the big guys are well fed and warmly dressed, and their bodies are energetic, and their wives and children don't have to worry about food and clothing for a year, which is the happy life they want.
Along the way, Lin Sen just stopped for a while to see the situation of the resource management office, and then to observe the local people's feelings.
Along the way, although the people of the state and county are not as comfortable and happy as the people of Jizhou, they have not heard of any officials who have done anything to harm the people, and the resource management office is also proceeding normally.
When he came to Jinyang, he did not continue to serve slightly, but came directly to the Thorn History Mansion, and summoned a group of civil and military officials, Li Wei was also here, in the past, there were any major and minor incidents in the state, Li Wei would report to Lin Sen by phone in reality, of course, Lin Sen Qingzhou was a disaster, Li Wei also pinched a sweat, and after getting the news that he was successfully out of danger, he was a little relieved, so he paid special attention to the situation of the players in the state, and was afraid of causing complications at this time.
"Ziyuan, you have worked hard in the past two years, and along the way, the local people's livelihood and conditions have been greatly improved, and the development is quite good, you have put a lot of thought into it."
Zang Hong immediately saluted and said: "These are all officials at all levels who use their lives, and their subordinates dare not take credit." ”
"Hahaha......" Lin Sen laughed a few times and said: "It will be the end of the year again, and officials at all levels in the state will issue bounties according to the rule of officials, Ziyuan has worked hard this year, in addition to the normal bounty, a special reward of five hundred gold." ”
"Thank you for your grace." ……
