Chapter 495: Backwards

In a sense, Wu Yi's words are not only not wrong, but also very tenable.

Chen Hao is the Guangxi Economic Strategy, he commanded the war in Guangnan, his official position is high, his qualifications are also deep, and he has the right to act cheaply, and if he wants to meddle in the affairs of Yongzhou, as long as he is crowned with a war-related name, it is naturally logical.

Even if Wu Yi secretly rolled his eyes 10,000 times, at least in terms of face, he couldn't go against Chen Hao with great fanfare, and if he didn't make a good fuss, he would be impeached for a "delay in the war", and no one could afford it.

However, Chen Hao is sick in bed at the moment, Zhang Dingya is leading the troops to help, Gu Yanzhang is just a transfer with the army, calling baggage, people, etc., but he can say a few words, once the specific matters in Yongzhou City are involved, Wu Yi has just been on the front, no matter from which aspect, there is no room for beaks.

If everything has to be done according to the rules, as long as Chen Hao can't recover for a day, Wu Yi can be the overlord of Yongzhou City for a day.

If there is really going to be a thief attacking, he wants to take over this cadre in the city, whether it is reasonable or nominal, it makes sense.

When Gu Yanzhang saw his attitude, his heart was really on fire.

Why is the grass market outside Yongzhou so lively, it was originally just a small market of more than 100 people, but in just a few months, it has developed into a large field that cannot accommodate traders for ten miles?

It's not because Wu Yi broke off the conflict between Yongzhou and Guangyuan Prefecture and Jiaozhi!

At first glance, this move seems to have restrained Jiaozhi, but in fact, where did it not hurt Yongzhou himself?

After the defeat of the crossing, the border between the two countries returned to calm, and it was not long before the field near Guangyuan Prefecture began to be established, and the more time passed, the deeper the intersection between the two countries became.

This intersection is not one-way, but two-way.

Whether it is Jiaozhi or Guangyuan Prefecture, many of the degrees can only be maintained by relying on the field, and the prefectures and counties on Guangnan West Road, especially Yongzhou and other places close to the border, also have a large number of people eating the rice of the field.

Wu Yiyong's reason was to punish Jiaozhi and warn them not to mess around at the border again.

Maybe he thought that if the people of Yongzhou didn't go to the field to do business with Guangyuan Prefecture and Jiaozhi, they would naturally be able to go to other places to do business, or maybe he didn't think about this at all-for Wu Yi, who had never done anything about crops, Shinong Industry and Commerce, the last word in business, and those who did business were naturally where it was advantageous to drill, and it was not worth wasting his energy at all.

And what does the peasants under the jurisdiction of Yongzhou have to do with the farm?

Although he has also been a pro-people official, but once he has been in the foreign office for a short time, and he does not rely on the promotion of his office, he has not bothered much to deal with these details, and naturally he does not know the things grown and raised by the farmers in Yongzhou, many of which are ordered by businessmen early, and are ready to be sent to the market to buy and sell at a high price.

For merchants, the closure of the yard means that they can't sell what they have hoarded, so why do they need to collect what they have in the hands of farmers? If you pay a fixed amount in the past, then don't set the money, and lose at most one or two percent, but if you collect it at the original price, it means that you will lose at least four or five percent, and if you smash it all in your hands, you will lose even more.

At this time, how to make a choice, a fool also knows.

For Wu Yi, closing the field is just a matter of one sentence, but I don't know how many people have survived this year.

The people had no livelihood and could not afford the commercial taxes to enter the city, so they could only set up some small stalls outside the city to earn some money for grain and rice.

Wu Yi thought that if he didn't drive out the grass market outside the city and didn't impose taxes, it would be a great help to the people, but in fact, he was the real source of the current situation.

And when the field is closed, can it really warn Jiaozhi?

Not only did it not play a positive role, but it also accelerated the speed of the thieves' troops.

Up to now, Qinzhou and Penn have not received any news for half a month, and most of the spies sent out are like sinking into the sea, and there is no reply at all, and occasionally two of them go around outside, and they can't bring back any useful news, and they say that Jiaozhi claims to have 300,000 troops and is attacking Pennzhou City, and at one time it is said that Jiaozhi only has 30,000 troops, and they originally defeated Qinzhou, but then they were pushed out again, and they are facing each other.

No matter what time or place, as long as the army is marching and fighting, the information obtained from the spies is often contradictory, chaotic and complicated, and it is all up to the decision-makers to distinguish from which one is true and which one is false.

On this item, Gu Yanzhang and Wu Yi's views are diametrically opposed.

Wu Yi judged that Jiaozhi's troops would not be too much, because of the protracted war between the Great Jin and Jiaozhi many years ago, the Jiaozhi thieves were severely injured and the national strength was greatly damaged.

In his opinion, although Jiaozhi has repeatedly committed border offenses, and has been ready to move, but it is just a small fight, and there is no intention of fighting a big war, this time there are at most 30,000 or 40,000 troops, after defeating Qinzhou and Pennsylvania, and then coming to Yongzhou, one is tired, the second is exhausted, and the third is that a large number of troops have been lost in the previous few major battles.

The thieves committed the border, Yongzhou bore the brunt, Guangnan West Road transfer envoy Liu Ping was originally in Guizhou on an errand, because Chen Hao led the troops to help, he came here to assist, he heard the news, his heart kept beating the drum, he was really relieved, so he went to find Wu Yi to ask.

Wu Yi was full of confidence, and told the news that the spies returned to Jiaozhi only had 30,000 troops, and only said that Yongzhou City was high and strong, and there were brave and brave soldiers, and there were reinforcements brought by Chen Hao to counter-insurgency.

Liu Ping is a transfer envoy from Guangxi, and he has a lot of dealings with Gu Yanzhang on weekdays, so he has to ask about this.

Gu Yanzhang only asked him one sentence back-if Jiaozhi really only had 30,000 troops, why would there be no news from Qinzhou and Penn for so long?

If it was because the state city was besieged and the messenger couldn't get out, Yongzhou sent out so many spies, why did they only come back, and there was no place to go deep into the battle.

There has not been much rain in Guangnan for a while, and there is no problem of impassable roads, but there is no news from the two groups of reinforcements, and several groups of spies have not replied.

Qinzhou and Penn combined, together with 6,000 reinforcements, there are 13,000 troops, not to mention 134 troops, and counting the bravery of the two places, the number of fleeing civilians should be several times higher, but they were charged to death like this, and the number of troops raised in this round of Jiaozhi can be imagined.

Although there is no real and definite information in hand, with the zero news he knows so far, Gu Yanzhang already has an ominous premonition.

Maybe...... There will really be a tough battle just around the corner.

By this day, it had been 17 days since Yongzhou City and Zhang Dingya's reinforcements had lost contact.
