In March, Huang Fu came to Wuhan City and moved into the house on the west side of Buzhuang. On the surface, he was a merchant who came to buy furs and had nothing to do with Buzhuang.
The two adjacent houses were excavated underground. At that time, Yao Yu saw Huang Fu through the tunnel and reported the meeting with the bald-haired Huiqing.
Huang Fu said with a smile: "This bald queen has deep resentment and wants to avenge her father. She will cooperate with a little guidance. However, have you ever reminded her not to reveal her words to Mrs. Zuo?"
Before coming to Panhan, the lord specially confessed that the bald Madam Zuo was different from the bald Queen. She only wanted to please Qifu Chipangu's favor and did not care about her father's hatred at all. The news should not be revealed to her.
Yao Yu visited the palace many times and saw that the relationship between the bald queen and the sisters was good. She smiled and said, "The bald queen and Madam Zuo are biological sisters. Madam Zuo will never harm her own family."
Huang Fu's expression changed and he said: "Yao Yu, as a spy of the Department of Commercial Affairs, you should know the importance of keeping secrets. If there is a slight breach, your life will be in danger. Beware of the bald Mrs. Zuo. This is what the Lord has repeatedly told me. How can you be a child's play." "
Yao Yuqiang smiled and said: "I have already mentioned it to the Bald Queen, but it seems that the Bald Queen does not trust me. I don't know if she has taken it into her heart."
Huang Fu's face softened and he said to the frightened Yao Yu: "My lord knows that we are in danger and life and death are hanging by a thread. He is very worried about our safety. He has told Yu many times that preserving the lives of our sons is the most important thing. Chief Yao, you should be more careful."
Yao Yu became excited and said in a choked voice: "This slave was originally a lowly slave in the Guangping Palace of the Qin State. He had no guarantee of food and clothing and was humiliated. When the Lord ruled the Qin State, he asked the Secretary to rescue the slave and let him live like a human being. "
Huang Fu remembered that when he first met Yao Yu, the woman was in ragged clothes, with a sallow complexion and dull eyes. She was locked up in the woodshed and left to die for breaking a plate.
When Yang Anxuan broke into Chang'an, Huang Fu led his men into the palace of Guangping Gong Yao Bi and rescued her. This woman has been with him ever since. Later, she joined the Department of Commercial Affairs and made many meritorious deeds. She was soon promoted to the rank of seventh-rank chief registrar. , and became his right-hand man.
This time, Yao Yu came to Panhan to lurk, and took the initiative to ask for help. He opened up the relationship with the palace through Buzhuang, met with the bald queen, and conveyed the lord's intention.
"With the master's rescue and Huang's attention, this slave will be able to serve his master and die without any resentment." Yao Yu raised his eyebrows and said.
Huang Fu sighed lightly: "Don't talk about life and death. My lord will rule the world in the future, and you and I will share the glory. You are still young. After this battle, I will allow you to leave the Commercial Affairs Department, find someone to marry and have children, and go to There are still days to come. As far as Yu knows, there are many men in the Commercial Affairs Department who have taken a fancy to you. If you have someone you like, I will tell you for you."
Yao Yu's face turned red, she became a little nervous, and said in a low voice, "Let's wait until Qin is destroyed."
Yang Anxuan treats the staff of the Commercial Information Department generously. Not only can they receive double salaries, but promotions are never ambiguous based on meritorious service. After five years of stay, they can choose to leave. Men can serve in the military or serve as officials in counties and counties. As for women, the choices are smaller and they can continue. If you stay in the Department of Business and Information as an instructor, you can also marry and raise children, but you can always keep your original salary.
Yao Yu is full of beautiful visions and expectations for the future.
…………
Yang Yi, who was going on a trip for the first time, was so happy that he couldn't help but smile from ear to ear. He took the fifty personal guards carefully selected for him by Jie Bohe and Yang Anxuan and wished he could fly to Tianshui with his own wings. He didn't care at all about Yin Hui who saw him off. Jane's eyes were filled with tears and worry.
Yang Anxuan said to Yu Fei, who accompanied Yang Yi to Tianshui, "Brother Zizhuang, I'm begging you."
Yu Fei was also very excited to go to Tianshui and said with a smile: "Don't worry, my lord, I will take good care of Young Master Yi."
Standing at the top of the city and watching the ships crossing the river, with the shadows of the sails getting further and further away, Yin Huizhen could no longer hold back her tears.
Yang Anxuan put his arm around Yin Huizhen's shoulders and whispered comfort: "The young eagle will eventually spread its wings, and the son of the Yang family will inevitably kill the enemy on the battlefield. As long as his son is strong, Yi'er will be fine."
Er Xing Qianli's mother was worried, but Yin Huizhen knew that Yi'er was brave and brave. If he could gain a foothold in the army before the end of the war and get the support of the generals, Xuanlang would definitely let him command the three armies in the future.
Crossing the river from Xiangyang to Fancheng, and heading north from Fancheng to Xinye, Yang Yi went first to meet his grandfather, grandpa and relatives from his mother's clan.
Yin Xi is old, his beard and hair are all white, and his hearing power has declined. You have to raise your voice when talking to him. However, Yin Xi's eyes were still bright, and he agreed with Yang Yi to go to Tianshui to join the battle. Yin Xi also promised to gather 500 tribesmen from Yin, Cen, and Deng families in one month, and then rush to Tianshui County to follow Yang Yi's command.
When the Yin friends met their heroic grandson, they told him to humbly seek advice from the generals in the army, and not to rely on their status to make the soldiers feel alienated.
The governor of Qinzhou and the Marquis of Xinning, Kuai En, was a close confidant of his father and was very loyal to his father. This time he went to Tianshui to show special respect to Kuai En. If he could be recognized by Kuai En, it would be a great help to him in the future.
Yin Youqi secretly told Yang Yi that the three families of Yin, Cen, and Deng were closely related, and Ningshuo General Cen Minghu could be relied upon and should be treated with uncle courtesy.
After staying in Xinye for two days, Yang Yi went north to Nanyang, then turned northwest through Shangluo and entered Chang'an City. Entered Chang'an to meet Meng Longfu. Meng Longfu had received the news and knew that Yang Yi was going to Tianshui, so he sent Qianqi to protect him.
After arriving in Chang'an, Jie Bohe took fifty cavalry and ten carts of goods and set off for Tianshui County. He wanted to summon tribal warriors to join the battle before Yang Yi arrived. Yang Anxuan promised that if he could summon more than a thousand cavalry, he would let Yang Yi temporarily He was appointed as the school captain, and Jie Bohe was appointed as the commander of the department.
Jie Bohe followed Gao Changqing and knew the structure of the Yong army. The Sima subordinates were below the captain and above the military marquis. He could command four hundred troops and horses, and was considered a middle-low level general in the army. Yong's army has more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, but only a few thousand can hold official positions above Sima.
Of course, Jie Bohe would not let go of such an opportunity, and Yang Anxuan promised that in addition to the settlement expenses of ten stones of corn per person, the tribal warriors who were recruited into the army would also be given weapons, leather armor, the same treatment as the Yong army, the same rewards for meritorious service, and the same casualties. Yong Jun pension.
Jie Bohe saw that when Xiangyang was recruiting troops, there was a huge crowd of young people who came to apply. It was not easy to become an official Yongjun soldier. Following Gao Changqing to Xiangyang, Jie Bohe saw the prosperity of the Central Plains and wanted to change the fate of his family and even his tribe. This battle with Qin was an opportunity to change his fate.
On August 24, Yang Yi and his party arrived at Yixian County, Tianshui County, and learned that five days earlier, Kuai En had led 30,000 troops to the west to attack Nan'an County. Yang Yi was very anxious after hearing the news and wanted to chase him to join the battle immediately.
Han Yanzhi, the new governor of Tianshui, advised: "Master Yilang is coming to Tianshui for the first time, so he may not be accustomed to the climate and climate. He might as well stay in Ji County for a few more days to get used to it. Moreover, I just heard Master Yi mention that he has sent people to summon the Xiongnu, Qiang, Di, The warriors from Jie and other tribes are coming to join the battle, why don't you wait for them to arrive before setting off?"
Han Yanzhi, General Jianwu, was the former ruler of Jingzhou. He was dissatisfied with Liu Yu's military expedition to Jingzhou, so he fought against Liu Yu with Sima Xiuzhi, the governor of Jingzhou. After his defeat, he defected to Yang Anxuan.
After Sima Xiuzhi died of illness, Yang Anxuan united the generals of Jingzhou to defend themselves, and appointed Sima Guofan as the governor of Qinzhou Wudu, Sima Shufan as the governor of Changguang, and Sima Wensi as the chief administrator of Nanyang; Han Yanzhi, Wen Kai and others served in the army. After Sima Chuzhi was assassinated, the Sima family was no longer in a good position, so Yang Anxuan appointed Han Yanzhi as the prefect of Tianshui.
In her free time on weekdays, Yin Huizhen would comment on the civil and military affairs of Yang Anxuan with her two sons. Yang Yi heard her mother mention Han Yanzhi, and Yin Huizhen called him "honest and loyal." When Liu Yu was angrily rebuked by him, he also praised him, "That's how things should be done." When he was in Xinye, his grandfather Yin Youqi also mentioned this person, saying that Han Yanzhi was a good candidate for governor, so he might as well make friends with him.
Yang Yi followed Shan Ruliu and agreed immediately. Seeing that Yang Yi listened to the advice, Han Yanzhi secretly nodded in approval.
Thirty thousand Yong troops had already advanced into Nan'an County. Kuai En ordered Cen Minghu to lead 14,000 men to attack Xinxing City, and he led 16,000 men to attack Zhongtao.
Qin Zuoxiang, who was in charge of the original Daocheng of Nan'an, ordered the two cities to stay behind closed doors. He led 15,000 light cavalry to attack Yong's army.
Kuai En wanted to fight the Qin army decisively, but Qifu Tanda did not accept the challenge. He took advantage of the quickness of Qingqi and relied on the three cities of Yuandao, Zhongtao and Xinxing to tire out the Yong army.
The three cities are only twenty or thirty miles apart from each other and can be reached in half an hour by Qingqiu. It is very fast to support each other.
After being harassed several times by the Qin army's light cavalry, Cen Minghu realized something was wrong and took the initiative to withdraw his troops to join Kuai En. Thirty thousand Yong troops were stationed in one camp outside Zhongtao City.
On August 28, Yong's catapults began to throw stones into Zhongtao City, and the siege began.
…………
It has been two days since Jie Bohe returned to his tribe. He was accompanied by fifty soldiers and ten carts of gifts.
His tribe has only more than 300 people. It is a small Xiongnu tribe that makes a living by herding and hunting.
Jie Bohe brought back thousands of kilograms of rice, white flour, tea, porcelain, silk, and cotton. Some of the things were piled in a tattered tent, which dazzled the tribesmen who came after hearing the news.
Someone had bad intentions and gathered more than 20 horsemen to rob them, but they were defeated by the Yong soldiers brought by Jie Bohe. The scimitars in their hands were also cut off. Jie Bohe tied these people outside the tent with ropes.
The leader who was waiting for the news, Yuruga, hurriedly arrived and saw his son with his arms tied and squatting on the ground dejectedly. Most of the twenty or so companions he had brought with him were there.
Fortunately, no one was killed. Yu Lujia breathed a sigh of relief, put on a straight face and shouted with the power of a leader: "Jie Bohe, what are you doing, you don't let people go? You went to the Central Plains, I will treat your My family takes good care of me.”
Jie Bohe's eyebrows twitched twice. He heard his mother and brothers talk about the leader's "care" and that the number of cattle and sheep in the pen was 20% less than before. The strong are respected on the grassland. When Jie Bohe came to recruit warriors this time, he wanted to borrow Yu Lujia's help, but he had to make the decision himself.
"Uncle Yulujia, please go to the tent first. I have prepared tea from the Central Plains and slaughtered two sheep. Let's talk while drinking." Jie Bohe said with a smile on his face.
Yu Lujia looked at Jie Bohe. In three years, this boy had grown a lot taller. He was wearing Han leather armor, with a knife on his waist. His face was clean and he looked like a noble man.
With a cold snort, Yuruga stepped into the tent and immediately saw the porcelain, silk and other items piled on the carpet, and the food was piled high in the corner. Yu Lujia was itching in his heart, thinking about how to take these good things away from Jie Bohe.
There was a fire burning in the middle of the tent, and the large iron pot brought by Jie Bohe was cooking mutton. The teapot on the side was spraying hot air, and the rich aroma of tea spread throughout the tent.
Yu Lujia swaggered and sat down in the middle. Jie Bohe's wife hurriedly picked up the pot and poured a bowl of tea and offered it with both hands. Yu Lujia took a sip and praised: "This tea is good. It is better than the tea I bought from the merchants of Jin last winter." It tastes good, bring me two baskets later."
Jie Bohe was too lazy to pay attention to him. He stood in front of Yu Lujia with his chest puffed out and said, "Uncle Yu Lujia, my lord Yong Gong of Jin State has mobilized an army of 80,000 to destroy Qin State. He asked his servants to come back and recruit warriors to join the war."
Yu Lujia's hand trembled, and the tea burned his lips. During this period, there was a continuous flow of vehicles transporting baggage from the east. In the past few days, tens of thousands of Yong's troops from Ji County marched westward. It seems that this guy Jie Bohe was talking about Really, the Jin army is ready to destroy Qin.
Yu Lujia sat up straight and asked, "What conditions did Duke Yong of Jin promise?"
Jie Bohe smiled and said: "Except for Anjia's ten stones of corn, the warriors who participated in the war were treated the same as Yong's army."
Gao Changqing's promise to recruit warriors was fulfilled last time. Yu Lujia's eyes lit up and he said: "It's not bad. I'm willing to spread the news for you and recruit warriors to join the war."
After taking a look at the goods piled high, Yuruga said greedily: "Give me half of these things."
Jie Bohe laughed loudly and said, "Uncle Yuluga, you are probably in a trance. These things are gifts given by servants to the leader of the tribe to recruit warriors. How could they be given to you?"
Yulujia's expression changed, he stood up and shouted: "The wolf cub is so big that he actually dares to bite people. I want to see how you can recruit people without my help."
Jie Bohe put his hand on the handle of the knife and said in a cold voice: "Take two pieces of silk back and send your daughter over in the evening. From today on, I will be the leader of the tribe."
