"Wu Wuchen has lost again. My lord, Dai County should not fight again. Otherwise, the people will be scattered, and there will be a famine in the spring." Just after Zhengdan, Wang Xuan's expression was not very good.

They didn't even take advantage of sending troops to attack Dai County.Because although Daijun is located in Youzhou, it is on the west side of Taihang Mountain. If you want to transfer troops, you have to go to Feihukou or the capital of the army.Xing Dao was already difficult, it was cold winter, Duan's Xianbei were mostly cavalry, it was extremely difficult to conquer the Tuoba tribe.

What's worse, once the war starts, the people will flee elsewhere.In the past few years, even though Youzhou was bitterly cold, many people came to settle here.But after Liang Zixi took control of the state, this place that everyone feared in the Fourth World War turned into a paradise on earth.Many of the refugees heading to Youzhou changed directions.The people living in the vicinity of Daijun will not brave the severe cold to cross the mountains and ridges, and nine out of ten escape along Yanmen to Bingzhou.

In this way, not only failed to regain their own territory in one battle, but also wasted a lot of life and food, and even the people under the rule escaped cleanly, almost losing all their wealth.Even though Youzhou is rich and powerful, and has made a lot of profits in the past two years, it still cannot withstand the loss.

On the main seat, Wang Jun's face was gloomy and cold, and he didn't say a word.He never thought that this battle would end like this.Daijun's gains and losses are second to none, and the changes in Yecheng are the most embarrassing!

Who would have expected that fool Sima Teng to be so vulnerable?Originally, Wang Jun just wanted Sima Teng to put pressure on the imperial court and withdraw the reward from the Tuoba tribe.Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, he abandoned the city and fled, allowing Yecheng to be captured by Bingzhou soldiers and horses.Hearing this news, Wang Jun was so angry that he almost led his troops to retake Yecheng himself.As a result, before the soldiers were dispatched, the imperial court had already resorted to a divorce plan, and asked Liang Zixi's Jie general to guard Yecheng and supervise the Hebei military.

This time, it was not easy for Wang Jun to send troops.Now Yecheng has just changed its defenders, and the boy surnamed Yi has also taken over the military power for the first time.He is the governor of Youzhou, how can he attack?Moreover, after fighting like this, Yi Boyuan will return to Liang Zixi's account in all likelihood, so it's better to ease the situation and throw the mess near Yecheng to the other party.

It's just such a decision that still makes people feel suffocated.

After a long silence, Wang Junfang said: "Order Duanbu to retreat and guard Feihukou. After the spring plowing, we will make plans again."

This is also the most sensible way.Wang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, but before he opened his mouth, Wang Jun said again: "Strictly order all counties in Youzhou not to use Bingzhou Ruitan!"

Wang Xuan was taken aback for a moment: "My lord..."

The winter in Youzhou is long, and it is cold now before March [-]th.How is it possible not to use charcoal?

Wang Jun snorted coldly: "How many years have been used for burning charcoal, why bother to buy Bingzhou goods! Do you think I don't know? It's just the same as Rui charcoal, and it costs so much money! Now that the war is about to start, we must not let Liang Zi Xi has to take advantage of it! That Liao furnace has been imitated by others, so it can no longer be purchased from Bingzhou!"

Wang Xuan was suddenly speechless in embarrassment.Not to mention the Youzhou gentry, even his family was replaced by Rui Tan.In fact, this thing is smokeless and gas-free, and the heat is hard to extinguish.Just one pot is enough to make the room warm like spring.Although it is much more expensive than charcoal, who can afford this expense?This trend has all run into the tents of the nobles of Xianbei, so it can be banned if it is banned?

Switching to the original charcoal, not to mention whether everyone can get used to it, but the merchants below will lose a lot.The charcoal stove is even more worrying.The utensils produced in Bingzhou are all bearing the name of Buddha, which is said to be able to detoxify and prevent diseases, and avoid the disease of smoking and killing that occurs every winter.What's more, their stoves are really cheap, and there are not no people below who have made up their minds. The cost is really unstoppable.It is even more difficult to ban it.

But what can Wang Xuan do when his father sends a message?I had to obediently lower my head: "I'll do it right away, baby."

Seeing his son's unwilling expression, Wang Jun was secretly annoyed.At the beginning, he really shouldn't have tried to win over Liang Zixi, but now he has a deep grudge, and it's hard to get rid of it.But in the final analysis, there is still Jizhou between the two states, and it only depends on how to compete for the land of this state.

"General, the army is about to run out of food. Where are we going?" A confidant sighed sadly.

Back then, in order to attack Wei County, they took out their capital.Armaments, food and grass are well prepared, and they are only looking forward to conquering Yecheng and having a fat winter.

Unexpectedly, it took a lot of effort to bring down Yecheng, but the people who were killed by Bingzhou soldiers turned their backs on their backs.Not to mention food, fodder and treasures, even the big camp was breached.The leader Ji Sang also died unexpectedly, and now the head is still on display outside the city.The self-satisfied rebel immediately became a bereaved dog with its tail between its legs.

Fortunately, Shi Le collected the defeated troops and pulled up another team of 6000 to [-] people.However, there are people, but no food can be found.If you don't decide where to go, everyone will starve to death in the wilderness.

How could Shi Le not know the current situation?Frowning tightly, he thought for a long time before saying: "Let's attack Zhaojun."

Zhaojun belongs to Jizhou, but it is very close to Yecheng, and it will not take a few days to fight all the way there.This command was exported, and the bandits below jumped for joy.The General Shi they were following was formidable and ruthless.Even a strong city like Yecheng can be captured, so what is Zhao County?

But the joy of those people did not move Shi Le in the slightest.Just because he knew that what he was facing was a dilemma.

His soldiers and horses are really too few.There are only five to six thousand people, and it is too shabby to seek refuge with the Huns.I am afraid that he will not be taken seriously by the Huns.But he couldn't find any other way to gather people.

He is a Capricorn, which means that those who can listen to his orders are probably Hu.Jin rebels like Li Feng could serve as Gongshi Fan, or a Han leader like Ji Sang, but they might not be sent by Jienu.

The best choice is to think of ways from the Jie people, the Xiongnu, and even the Wuhuan people or Qiang and Di.But a year ago, this approach would still be feasible.At the moment, it's just a daydream!

Bingzhou has been pacified, and the governor of Zhizhou has the name of Buddha's son!In Shangdang, his hometown, I don't know how many Jie people have voted under the command of Buddha.The Xiongnu rebels were wiped out, and the Wuhuan bandits were also killed.In the entire Bingzhou, there is no one available!

The previous Bingzhou soldiers shocked Shi Le too much.He never thought that Jin would have such a powerful combat power.No wonder Bingzhou was able to defeat the Xiongnu and Baibu Xianbei within a year.Compared with that iron cavalry, his bandits are not enough to get between his teeth.It was precisely because of this that he never wanted to cause trouble in Wei County again.So what if Zhao Jun was captured?How to increase troops?

Swallowing his irritability, Shi Le made up his mind to pay attention.Anyway, there are refugees everywhere, wait until Zhao County is captured, and then think of ways to deal with the refugees.The most critical thing now is to stir up more states and counties and strengthen their strength.When he gathered enough soldiers and horses again, he defected to Han.By then, he won't be defeated by that Bingzhou soldier again, right?

The shame of fleeing in embarrassment that day came to my heart again.Shi Le clenched his teeth and secretly made up his mind.He will conquer Yecheng again.One day, he will also become a superior person that no one else can ignore!

"I heard that the rebels have already fled to Zhao Jun?" Wang Ping was still thinking about the rebels these days.From time to time, Yiyan would be summoned to have a few words.

Now that he heard that the rebels had left Wei County and attacked Zhao County, Wang Ping was really relieved.Zhaojun is not far from Yecheng, but it is the boundary of Jizhou after all.Just hit it, it's none of his business.

Yiyan nodded: "I went to Zhao County. However, Zhao and Wei are dependent on each other, so we should take care of it."

Unexpectedly, a Jiehu could say such a sentence that his lips and teeth depend on each other. Wang Ping couldn't help saying: "The general supervises the army in Hebei, and he is guarding the counties in Hebei. Jizhou still has Ding Shishi in charge, and the king's governor is there to help. It must not be a big deal. hinder……"

Halfway through the conversation, I couldn't continue.It's because Yiyan's complexion is too stern, with an awe-inspiring aura, which makes one feel chilled just looking at it.After a few dry laughs, Wang Ping added: "Even if we want to fight, we need to add some soldiers first. The generals have such soldiers that it is difficult to defend Wei County, so how can they meddle in the affairs of other states?"

This is not wrong.But what Yiyan wants is not just Wei Jun.He said coldly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, by the spring, there will be 5000 troops at the end, and some will be drawn from the military households at that time, which will be enough to deal with the military crisis."

Hearing what Yiyan said, Wang Ping's eyes lit up: "It's so good! I also invited the food from the imperial court. It's not a problem to support ten thousand people."

Because Wang Yan sent his confidant, Wang Ping was extremely generous in terms of food and salary.In troubled times, the more troops you have, the better.As General Yi said, if the rebels attacked Zhao Jun and then turned back, wouldn't it be worse?

With a sense of security, looking at that overly cold and somewhat ugly face of a barbarian, I feel much more pleasing to the eye.Wang Ping said with a smile: "By the way, there is one more thing I forgot to ask General Yi. I heard that you have not married a wife yet. If you are interested, I would like to point out a relative for you..."
