sweeping the world

Chapter 53 How the bright moon shines on the ditch

There was a major BUG, ​​deleted and re-uploaded.

……

Does panic work?Useless.

For the retaliation, Liu Yan had already been mentally prepared. It should be said that he had been waiting for Hou Zhao to respond to the events in Buqicheng and Guixian.What worries him the most is that a large army is coming from Xiangguo. If this is really the case, there is nothing to say, just pack up and go to the island, waiting to play guerrilla warfare.

Ji Chang and others may feel flustered in their hearts, but the group of people who have been well ventilated for a long time, no matter how flustered they are, they will not show it in front of Xiqian Bailiao and Su Lewan.

Very calmly, they chatted about what countermeasures to take, but their composure bluffed Xiqian Bailiao and Su Lewan.

"The new round of taxation will be done by Bai Liao, and I can assist when it is finished." Liu Yan assigned the task: "As for the warriors and laborers, feel free to send them if you want, and add them to the tax if you don't want to." .”

In fact, there are not many people from the families in Guixian County that can be sent, even if all the families have people, the total is less than five hundred.

Xiqian Bailiao and Su Lewan looked at each other many times.They seemed panicked when they came. One was the new No. [-] family in Guizhou County who had been supported, and they were relatively involved, and they were afraid of reprisals;

Now, seeing that Liu Yan and all the civil and military officials of the Han Dynasty are very calm, they feel at ease.

"My lord, but the tribe will have a large army coming?" Xiqian Bailiao didn't seem to regard himself as an outsider?He asked earnestly, "I don't know how many reinforcements there will be?"

Liu Yan just smiled and motioned for Ji Chang to answer.

Ji Chang laughed "hehe": "Of course there will be reinforcements coming. The tribal armed forces will not be less than [-], and the tribal warriors will exceed [-]."

"That's good, that's good..." Xiqian Bailiao really breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "It's just that we still have to send people to the court. If the money is insufficient, the Xiqian family is willing to support the Lord."

After Su Le finished, I quickly expressed my opinion: "Su Le's family is also willing to support the Lord."

Liu Yan didn't show much gratification or emotion, and nodded flatly without making any additional comments.The more he is like this, the more at ease I feel about Xiqian Bailiao and Su Lewan.

Before Xiqian Bailiao left, he expressed his desire to send the family lineage to the resettlement place, saying: "The defense of Guixian County is full of loopholes, and Bailiao also needs to serve the Lord. I am afraid it will be difficult to guarantee that the family will not be disturbed. Also ask the Lord to protect you."

Only then did Liu Yan give Xiqian Bailiao a good look.He knew that this was Xiqian Bailiao's real bet, and it was a sign that he would not get off the boat.

When others show sincerity, Liu Yan can't be too cold, so he has to comfort him with kind words, and then give some seemingly more trust.

There was movement in the surrounding counties and counties, but there was no news from the secret agents sent by Liu Yan.This is quite alarming.Later, it proved that some thought too much, and the detailed work quickly sent back the information.

"Your Majesty, it has been confirmed that Xiangguo ordered officials at all levels in the surrounding counties to operate on their own." Ji Chang actually had a smile on his face: "In this way, although it is a little troublesome, considering that the counties and counties can only He acted on his own and gave us every opportunity to break through."

Right!The number of Liu Yan's repeated dispatches of troops was not too many. Although it was impossible to conquer the city without leaving any chickens and dogs behind, he also took down Guixian County, but he really did not show a strong appearance. It is normal for the Zhao court to despise it later.

"One more month will be the rainy season again..." Ji Chang pondered: "Your Majesty? You sent Zhang Shi to Xiangguo to establish relations. What can Zhang Shi do in return?"

It is strange to say that Zhang Shi has been away for nearly a month and a half, and no news has been sent back.If Liu Yan could not see the green mark representing his own people on the side of Xiangguo from the map, he would really think that Zhang Shi and others were killed on the way, or ran away with money.

Considering that the long-distance contact basically relies on people to pass back and forth, if something happens to the contact person and the message cannot be sent back, it will have to wait for a while, which is really a headache!
Seeing that Liu Yan didn't answer, Ji Chang seemed to understand something.He looked at Xu Zheng and Lu Tai who were honestly staying aside and didn't say a word easily, and frowned.

[But there are too few people who can use it...]

It's not that Liu Yan didn't carry out talent mining. Since talents are talents, they are not something that can be found everywhere.

It is now AD 340! In an era when 90.00% of people with nine or more are illiterate, how can we expect talents to crawl everywhere?
In fact, Ji Chang already felt that Liu Yan was lucky enough to be able to recruit such a team. It must be understood that some large tribes with tens of thousands of people are nothing more than that.

"Now...the plan is to pay attention to the surrounding trends and see who is the most active. Your Majesty should take him out!" Ji Chang bowed to Liu Yan and said, "We should try our best to show our strength and act with thunderous swiftness to shock the rest of us." people."

Changguang County is not too big, and there are only a few counties. Most of them are actually similar to Gui County, and only a few counties have a larger population.

What's weird is that it doesn't necessarily mean that the population of the county seat is more concentrated. Some tribes that still maintain nomadic grazing, and even the places where they form villages for self-protection, have more population than the county seat.

In terms of administrative efficiency, every court official, tribe, or family that received an order from Xiangguo will have different preparation speeds, so the time for assembly, including dispatching troops, will be different.In this way, there will be opportunities to defeat each one.

In the next step, Liu Yan should also order preparations for war, including supplies, civil servants, etc.

"Your Majesty, recruiting new recruits is unavoidable." Ji Chang's expression was a little stern: "The information from both sides, the scouts and the spy, shows that almost all the Hu people in the surrounding area have taken actions, and even the families that Gui County surrendered earlier have also changed."

So, if the Jie tribe is still the overlord of the Central Plains for one day, it definitely has a natural appeal to the Hu people.As long as you move your mouth, there are plenty of people who are willing to serve and die for it.

The next day, Liu Yan had already received the news from Zhang Shi.

What happened in Xiangguo and Changguang County did not have much repercussions... At least the reaction from the court was relatively flat?

Not obtrusively, the Jie tribe is the overlord of the Central Plains, but the Jie tribe's control over the place is really not high.In fact, this is also the limitation of today's era. The Jin court in Zhengshuo is like this, so what can the Jie people do?
It may not be right to say that there was no reaction, because Shi Hu lost his temper, but after venting, he did not issue any instructions.

It was Shi Jian who gave orders to officials and people of all ethnic groups around Changguang County.He is the son of Shihu.

Shi Hu has many sons, most of whom have no right to speak.Shi Jian has the right to speak because he has the support of some people such as Ran Min (Ran Min) and Li Nong.

So in other words, Liu Yan wanted to make friends with Ran Min, but Ran Min encouraged Shi Jian to increase his weight in Shi Hu's heart by exterminating Liu Yan, so as to win a smooth path to the crown prince?
Liu Yan felt a little dumbfounded when he heard the news.Obviously, Zhang Shi was lucky not to be killed by Ran Min when he went to visit... Maybe it was because of the nearly fifty catties of gold, a piece of armor, and a sword?Ran Min didn't take Liu Yan's power seriously at all.

"Zhang Shi failed in his first mission and is trying to curry favor with the great Confucians in the imperial court." Liu Yan was not particularly emotional: "The matter of making friends with the great Confucians went smoothly unexpectedly. However, the great Confucians in the later Zhao court did not have military power and the right to speak Not high. They said that only when our side shows strength...or value, is it suitable to speak to Shihu."
