Chapter 148: Will Enter the City

Wei Gongshi was silent, but according to Li Bing's words, he cast the weapon that Wei Wuku arranged for himself: the iron arrowhead. Casting iron arrowheads is much more difficult than casting iron farm tools, the arrowheads are small, the shape is irregular, and casting with iron can only get a rough approximation, and to form sharp weapons, it also needs to be carefully polished in the later stage. At the end of the day, it can't be made into one or two finished products.

After Li Bing consulted Zhang Lu, he asked these Wei craftsmen to openly recruit children in Zuoyi, and allowed craftsmen above the "worker" level in each county to move to Anyi.

The work of the artisans was in full swing, and the recruitment of immigrants did not stop for a moment. After welcoming the craftsmen back to Yuancheng, Chen Si continued to lead people along the road, from near and far to publicize the trade list in various townships, and used very agitatory words to incite everyone to move to Hedong. In the past three months, Chen Si has walked back and forth several times, and he can barely lose it with his eyes closed. The business travelers who often passed by were also familiar with their figures, listened to the content of their propaganda, and some even promoted on their behalf. Through the channels of merchants, the news of the recruitment of immigrants in Hedong spread to all directions. Wherever there are immigrants, Chen Si and they bring people to help; If there is not enough food, it shall be supplemented for ten days according to the person; Those who don't want food can be converted into money. Of course, there are also local forces secretly obstructing them, and every time at this time, Chen Si and they will clean it up without mercy, usually beheading!

After Chen Si's innovative activities, more and more people moved to the Shushui River Valley. In addition, there are not many households in the road, and the road is becoming more and more empty. The Qin people were barely hindered in their movements; On the contrary, those merchant travelers were closer to these Qin soldiers: with them shuttling back and forth in the road, it was like someone patrolling the security team, and the safety of the merchant travelers along the way was more guaranteed, and the robbery was naturally gone.

When the golden wind was rising, Chen Si's preaching began to approach Yiguan. Through the Yiguan, it is a consensus reached by Hedong County and Xianyang after many rounds of negotiations.

After some careful planning, Chen Si took a hundred people with him - now they are no longer the soldiers of Shangjun, and the people of Shangjun have all returned, and these hundred people are Yuancheng soldiers trained by Mangwei. Although a large number of immigrants moved out of Yuancheng to Zuoyi, there were still more than 10,000 households, after all, Yuancheng was also an important border fortress, guarding the gate to Jin. With Captain Yuan in charge of the household and Mangwei in charge of training, after severely cutting off some mischievous heads, the people of the city can actually quickly master the tactics of military formation. The method adopted by Yuan County is to train the township chief for 10 days, and then the township chief will train the people in his own township. At this time, the township chief was not disbanded, but assisted in the training of the township as a law enforcement team. The training time in each township is not long, at least two or three days, and at most five days. The elite and strong people selected from the townships became county officials, and there were about 200 people.

Originally, the costumes of the people of Yuancheng were not in accordance with the Qin system, and they were still wearing their original clothes. But this time, these hundred people were all dressed in black Qin clothes, and only one side rolled out on the side. This is the result of the work of the female convicts in Yuancheng. The weapon in his hand is also a standard Qin-made halberd, and Chen Si wears Changchuang, these things are all mobilized from the whole Hedong, and Zuoyi's products have not yet come out. They will go to Yicheng as envoys of the Qin people in Hedong.

The most dangerous place on the road is not the walled city, but the eastern section of the road, where a mountain road is sandwiched by the peaks on both sides. The garrison of Yiguan was only 100 people in peacetime, mainly responsible for collecting taxes, and the main garrison force was Yicheng, which was fifty miles away. Yicheng is the ancient Yi country, the Yi country was originally the Ji surname Fan country, Yang Fan was given by Zhou Tianzi to the same Jin country with the surname Ji, the Fan people were not satisfied, Jin Wen Gong allowed the Fan people to leave their hometown, to build another Yicheng twenty miles away to live. Over the past few hundred years, Yicheng has become larger and larger, becoming a metropolis in the Nanyang area, and the momentum has overshadowed Yangfan. The so-called Yiguan is in the name of Yicheng.

Twenty miles outside Yiguan, there is a small town with dozens of families. After Chen Si brought the troops here, he stationed them in Yizhong and sent people to deliver documents to the defenders of Yiguan, stating that the envoys of the Qin State would pass through Yiguan.

The defenders of Yiguan were taken aback! The Qin people never reached Wei through the Yidao, and they had a more convenient way to get to Daliang: from Hangu Pass, take Luoyang, go out of the flood water, Chenggao, and go to Xingyang, from there to Daliang is a road. Even when they occupied the cities of Nanyang in the past, they did not take the road, but crossed the Yellow River. Chen Si was the first Qin to come out of the way, although he and his army were originally Wei people.

When the messenger arrived, it was nearly dusk. Guan Bo invited the envoy into the pass and placed them in the post house. The envoy reported the situation, explaining that the envoys of the Hedong of the Qin State would go out on a business trip to Nanyang. Hearing that the envoys of Hedong County of Qin State were coming, Guan Wei did not dare to offend at all. But he knew that he couldn't do this kind of thing, so he had to entertain the envoy and say that he would send the envoy to Yicheng tomorrow to report. The envoy told him that the Qin envoy was twenty miles outside the pass, and if he could not return on time, he was afraid that the Qin army would suspect that he was detained in the pass. It is suggested that Guan Wei send someone to invite the envoys into the pass. There were only 100 envoys, and one post house was squeezed down, so as not to alarm the people. Guan Wei did not dare to invite the Qin army into the pass, but promised to send someone to reward him.

The next day, Guan Wei sent a car to send the envoy to Yicheng. In summer, the day dawns early, and Guan Wei sends a car to send the messenger into the city as soon as it dawns, and when he arrives at the foot of the city, it is only breakfast time.

After observing the sad festival charm and confirming that it was indeed Qin Hedong's envoy, he invited the envoy to breakfast and asked, "Your envoy, what should be the matter?" ”

The messenger said: "I heard that the people in the city had little food, and I came to share my worries with you. ”

Yi Shou was stunned when he heard this. Anyi is easy for salt with grain, Nanyang bears the brunt, a large amount of grain is purchased by businessmen at a high price, these big businessmen have the background of big bureaucrats, and the price is indeed difficult to refuse, Nanyang, especially when the mouth of the road of Yicheng, grain decreased rapidly, grain prices soared. Wei Daliang is known for its lack of land and many people, Nanyang should add the word "more", many displaced people who have lost their land have to rely on buying grain in the market to survive, food prices have soared, their livelihood has become a problem, there have been several incidents of hungry people making trouble, although it has been strongly suppressed, but the defense has been a little anxious! When he heard that he was going to solve the problem of less food and more people, he was naturally happy and asked, "How can we solve it?" ”

The envoy said: "My envoy is the order of Hedong County, and I want to discuss his way with Shou. Now outside the gate, I am willing to accept it! ”

Yi Shou said: "We have no contact with Hedong, and Hedong wants to help, why not?" ”

The messenger said: "Qin and Wei, alliance." Hedong, so Wei Anyi is also adjacent to Nanyang, and if you are in a hurry, you will help each other, and you will be in the right alliance. ”

Yi Shou said: "What will help him?" ”

The messenger said: "Anyi, so Wei land, Wei people are exhausted, and its land is desolate." Although Qin moved all the dwellings in Guanzhong, the land was vast and sparsely populated. Therefore, Qin has a list of talents, and he also guards his news. Now I want to recruit the people of Anyi in the past, and the displaced people to live there, plan to give the field, gather the people into a city, not only to make the Wei people return to their homeland, but also to relieve Nanyang from hanging upside down, and to benefit both in one fell swoop, isn't it happy! ”

Yi Shou said: "The ministers are also guarded, and they are not allowed to enter the customs without an order." So that Qin does not enter the customs, and we recruit people and send them away, but what? ”

The messenger said, "This is also a matter of agreement with the Imperial Decree. ”

Yi Shou said: "I hope that Qin Shu will not enter, but let him enter alone, but what?" ”

The envoy thought for a while and said, "Qin pawn can't leave the general, I'm afraid it will be disadvantageous." If you go to the pass and discuss with the order, you will be very lucky. ”

Yi Shou said: "Yi, the big city is also, I'm afraid it will be difficult to leave." ”

The envoy said: "The city and the pass are only fifty miles, and the light car travels, but it is only half a day, is it better than the imperial order to enter the city?" ”

Yi Shou said: "Good, let it be discussed by the people!" He sent the envoy to the pavilion to rest, instructed him to entertain him well, and convened the lieutenant and the lieutenant to discuss.

The lack of grain in Nanyang and the instability of the people's will are common problems at present, and all counties have a headache about it. Qin allowed the Wei people to immigrate to Anyi, which was naturally a way to solve the problem of less land and more people. In the face of this big pie falling from the sky, all officials said that they could agree, but the premise was that the Qin army was not allowed to enter the Yiguan, otherwise it would be easy to treat guests and difficult to send them off. The discussion was decided, and Yi Shou sent Yi Cheng as a negotiator and drove back to Yiguan with the Qin envoy. By the time we arrived at Yiguan, the sun was already setting. Yi Cheng ordered Guan Wei to accompany the envoys to Qin Ying to ask Chen Sitong to negotiate with Yi Guan.

The two of them walked another twenty miles, and entered a city. The soldiers on patrol took the two to Chen. The messenger introduced Guan Wei to Chen Si, and Chen Si asked Guan Wei to rest. The envoy reported to Chen Si about the negotiation process of his entry into Yicheng to meet with Yishou, as well as the requirements of Yishou: Wei Min could leave the customs, but the Qin army was not allowed to enter the customs.

Chen Sidao: "I want to enter the way to watch it, why not?" ”

The messenger said: "It is not difficult for you to enter, but only with your ears." If he doesn't want to enter, he is afraid that there will be changes overnight. If you let the gentleman personally enter the refuge and take his body as a hostage, I am afraid that he will increase the amount with his hands. ”

Chen Sidao: "In this way, if you want to occupy the nest, it is difficult!" ”

The messenger said, "Although it is difficult, there are still gaps. There are many gaps in its victory! ”

Chen Sidao: "Good! He felt that his talent was extraordinary, and asked, "What is Qingqiyuan?" There must be scholars, too. ”

The messenger said: "The ancestor of the minister lives in Anyi, Gaozu Leopard, Shiwen Hou, and Zhiye." Qin occupied Anyi and moved his family to the wall. In order to recruit talents, there are resettlers. The minister's mother was weak and could not afford to travel far away, so she was still at home. ”

Chen Sidao: "What about the Ximen family? ”

The messenger said, "Yes." I don't want you to know Simon's clan. ”

Chen Sidao: "Ximen Leopard governs Ye, and the world is also virtuous." Zhang Punctual reads it from time to time, so he can know it. After that, there will be something to see, and after the city is finished, I am willing to recommend it to guard, and I will see it. ”

The messenger said: "He Cheng hopes for this." The mother is in Yan, and she doesn't dare to leave, Yu Yuan is enough for a small official! ”

Chen Sidao: "It's okay." On top of my recommendation, I am afraid that Zhang Shou will gallop and discuss with Qing. ”
