At night.
In the study room of the side hall of Chengyun Hall of Prince Yan's Mansion.
Xu Yi stood upright on the windowsill with his hands behind his back.
Looking through the wide open window sill, I gazed at the starry sky in the distance.
If one looks out from Xu Yi's point of view, it is not difficult to find that the starry sky he is looking at is outside Shanggu County.
After a day of busy work, Xu Yi is now ready, all he needs is the east wind.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
Suddenly, there were several sonorous and powerful footsteps outside the study.
The moment he heard the footsteps, Xu Yi's thoughts came back from the endless prairie outside Shanggu County.
Xu Yi calmed down, closed the wide open window sill, and walked to the Taishi's chair behind the bookcase.
As soon as he took his seat, a low voice from the leader Wenxin came from outside the study door.
"Master, we've arrived." Leader Wenxin reported in a low voice.
Xu Yi looked at the study door and said calmly: "Come in."
"Yes." Leader Wenxin agreed, then gently pushed the door open and let the main entrance of the study open.
Two unusually burly men clasped their fists slightly at the leader Wen Xin, then strode into the study.
After Xu Yi looked at the two sturdy men, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
These two people were no one else. They were actually two of the three major captains in the trapped camp.
If the height of one of them was converted into later generations' measurements, it would be two meters tall.
This person's name is Xin Sixuan, and he is the most capable of fighting among the three major captains in the trapped camp.
In the twenty-seventh year of Zhengde's reign, when he accompanied King Xu Zhen of Jin to conquer the rebellion in the Western Regions, he set a glorious record of killing hundreds of people without getting hurt.
Although the other person is slightly shorter in height, he is still 1.85 meters tall when converted to later generations' measurements.
This man's name is Qu Baotian. Although his personal combat power is not as inhuman as that of Xin Sixuan, he should not be underestimated.
And this person is recognized as a lunatic in the trapped camp.
Whenever there is a war, this person will take the lead and charge at the front.
"Xin Sixuan, the captain of the camp where the final general is trapped, pays homage to the prince!"
"Qu Baotian, the captain of the last general to fall into the camp, pays homage to the prince!"
The two of them clasped their fists and saluted, then said in unison.
Xu Yi nodded slightly, chuckled and said, "No courtesy."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The two of them clasped their fists and saluted again.
This meeting was not the first time that the three of them had met. As early as when Xu Yi's carriage arrived in Yandi, the two of them took the initiative to visit Xu Yi secretly.
Xu Yi looked at Xin Sixuan and Qu Baotian, who was standing upright, and pointed at the two chairs opposite the bookcase.
He said calmly: "Sit."
When the two heard this, they clasped their fists and saluted, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving me a seat."
After the two of them took their seats.
Xu Yi took out two pieces of brand new rice paper from the book, pushed them to their sides and said, "This is the detailed map of the camp in the east of the city."
"You two will take him back to your residence tonight, and based on your experience, formulate a complete defense replacement system as soon as possible."
The army is the most important weapon of the king.
The camp is the foundation for settling down and establishing a life.
The Huns were able to quietly invade the three counties of Shanggu County and capture the three counties at lightning speed, plundering more than ten thousand people in the three counties.
Xu Yi neither dared nor wanted to gamble on whether the Huns would use the same strategy to attack Juyang City in the future.
….
Although the possibility of this is small, it is always good to take precautions before they happen.
And it won't be long before Xu Yi will officially recruit a guard camp. If you develop some habits early, you may be able to reduce some unnecessary losses.
"Follow the order!" The two of them took the map with both hands and put it into their arms solemnly.
Then again
Looking at Xu Yi, waiting for Xu Yi's next instructions.
The news that the imperial court had transported grain, grass and other items into King Yan's camp today had already spread throughout Juyang City.
In their opinion, Xu Yi's order for them to come at night today was definitely not just for a change of defense.
Xu Yi looked at the two of them and said again: "Tomorrow I will order people to post recruitment notices throughout Yan."
"Fifteen days later, Wang Camp will conduct its first formal recruitment."
"When the time comes, you and I will each lead 500 soldiers and blend in with the people who are recruiting."
"The remaining one thousand people will have to wait for the second conscription in one month."
There were 3,000 troops trapped in the camp, except for the last captain Kang Guangyan and his men who were scattered throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty by Xu Yi.
Xin Sixuan and Qu Baotian's tribe have all rushed to Shanggu County.
Xin Sixuan and Qu Baotian looked excited when they heard this and said, "Follow the order!"
For people who are used to practicing every day, once they lose the opportunity to practice horse racing, almost every day will feel as uncomfortable as the days pass.
Now, the soldiers of Xin Sixuan and Qu Baotian's tribe have finally come out on top.
Xu Yi smiled and then continued: "In the next few days, there will be a man named Jiang Ping who will purchase war horses in the territory of Yan on behalf of the Yan Palace."
"When the time comes, when I see this token, I will hand over the war horse to him."
With that said, Xu Yi took out a round jade pendant from his sleeve.
After exerting a little force with his fingers, the round jade pendant was neatly divided into three parts in an instant.
Xu Yi handed the left and right halves of the circular jade pendant to Xin Sixuan and Qu Baotian respectively.
Leave only the middle part.
After Xin Sixuan and Qu Baotian took half of the jade pendant with both hands, they clasped their fists and saluted, "Follow the order!"
Whether it's dividing the two thousand soldiers into a guard camp.
It's better to bring the war horses to King Yan's camp in the name of trading.
The fundamental meaning of this unnecessary move is nothing more than to deceive others.
After all, Xu Yong's informants in Shanggu County are definitely not just Li Yu and Sun Daohua.
In the study room of the side hall of Chengyun Hall, Xu Yi slowly told Xin Sixuan and Qu Baotian about the follow-up plan.
About half an hour later.
Xin Sixuan and Qu Baotian stood up at the same time and saluted to say goodbye.
After the two left, Xu Yi slowly stood up and left Chengyun Hall.
He has already done everything he needs to do, and the rest will be left to time.
...
...
The next day.
When the early sun slowly rises from the horizon.
Gu Dengyun led more than a hundred cavalry and left the Yan Palace on horseback.
As soon as more than a hundred cavalrymen crossed the moat, they turned into four cavalry squads of varying numbers and headed straight in the four directions.
After Gu Dengyun and others left.
Suddenly, more than a hundred carriages poured out of Prince Yan's palace again.
The leader was surprisingly none other than Shi Lu Wensu, the director of Prince Yan's palace.
….
After more than a hundred carriages from the Old Five Trading Firms left Prince Yan's Mansion, they divided into four groups and ran in four different directions like the previous hundred soldiers.
As soon as he walked away.
More than a hundred people walked out of Prince Yan's palace again.
The leader was clearly a young man in military uniform.
Different from the previous two groups, more than a hundred people walked out at the end. There are both chariots and horses.
And after they walked out of Prince Yan's Mansion, they did not walk in four directions like the previous two groups.
Instead, he headed straight for the South City Gate with a very clear goal.
The successive changes in Prince Yan's Mansion made the people who were secretly watching as confused as Monk Zhang Er.
In desperation, the stalkers lurking in the dark had to divide their troops, divide their troops, and divide their troops again.
In the end, there was almost no one available.
...
...
Time passed quietly.
Original
The rising sun has already climbed onto the branches.
In the study room of the side hall of Juyang City County Government Office.
Sun Daohua couldn't sit still and paced back and forth in the study.
This has been the case since Sun Daohua received the news at around 12 o'clock in the morning.
Now, it has lasted for a full hour.
"What on earth is he going to do?" Sun Daohua kept asking himself.
After a few breaths.
Sun Daohua paused and couldn't help but murmured in a low voice: "The food, grass, weapons and other supplies have arrived. His top priority at this time should be to build his own guard camp as soon as possible."
"Is it necessary to build a guard camp and send out three waves of subordinates at the same time, nearly 400 people?"
"No, no, no, there is absolutely no need to send out three waves of subordinates at the same time to build a guard camp."
"He must have other purposes."
"But what is the other purpose?"
Just when Sun Daohua was puzzled.
A family of people dressed as servants quickly walked into the county government hall through the back door.
Then he walked quietly to the door of the side hall study.
"Dongdongdong."
The servant gently knocked on the study door and then said respectfully: "Master."
In the study, Sun Daohua stopped and said quickly: "Come in."
"Yes." The servant agreed, then quickly opened the study door and walked in.
After he closed the study door tightly.
Sun Daohua quickly stepped forward and asked, "Have you ever found out more about it?"
Upon hearing this, the servant hurriedly raised his hands and replied: "Go back to me, sir, and I have found out part of it."
'Part of it?' , Sun Daohua frowned and murmured in a low voice.
Then he hurriedly asked: "What have you found out? Tell me quickly."
"Yes." The servant agreed, and then quickly said: "The first wave of more than a hundred people came out of Prince Yan's Mansion."
"After leaving Prince Yan's Mansion, we went straight to the four city gates."
"After leaving the city gate, this wave of people all rode up to the official road in an upright manner."
"Because the official target was too big, the younger ones did not continue to follow it."
The servant paused for a moment and then continued: "But as per your instructions, the young men have already passed the news to Captain Pinglu outside the city."
"Presumably Colonel Pinglu must have arranged for manpower to continue tracking at this time."
Sun Daohua took a deep look at the servant, and then said without sadness or joy: "Continue talking."
"Yes." The servant agreed, and then continued: "The second wave of people who came out of Prince Yan's Mansion spread out as soon as they left Prince Yan's Mansion, and posted notices in the streets and alleys of the city."
….
Before the servant could continue to speak, Sun Daohua asked hurriedly: "The content of the notice is a recruitment notice?"
"The master knows things like a god." The servant Yang pretended to be surprised and flattered him: "The content of the notice is just as the master said, it is a recruitment notice."
Sun Daohua once again took a deep look at the flattering servant, and asked, neither sad nor happy, "When will we start recruiting troops?"
The servant quickly replied: "Sir, the notice states that the Yan Palace will officially start recruiting troops in fifteen days."
"In addition, the notice specifically stated the amount of food and salary and other benefits for the Yanwang Mansion guard camp."
After the servants came out with details such as the amount of food and salary, Sun Daohua couldn't help but frown slightly.
The food and salary of the Prince's Guard Battalion was already 10% higher than that of other troops in the fiefdom.
If it were just that, Sun Daohua would never frown.
The key to the problem is that the salary stated in the recruitment notice of Prince Yan's palace is more than 15% more than that of other troops in the fiefdom.
If compared with other prince's escort camps, the treatment given by Xu Yi is at least half a percent higher than the normal treatment.
And this extra part was used by Xu Yi in various names to avoid the risk of being impeached by others.
In this case, wouldn’t it mean that most of them have
Any man from Yan who wants to eat military food will be attracted by Xu Yi.
If there are a large number of people, Xu Yi can naturally choose the best among the best.
By that time, the strength of Xu Yi's army will definitely grow at an extremely terrifying speed.
This move is definitely good news for the people of Yandi.
After all, the stronger Yandi's military is, the safer they will be.
But this move is tantamount to huge bad news for Sun Daohua and other enemies.
However, Xu Yi managed to avoid the risk of impeachment brought by the extra half of the salary in various excuses.
This undoubtedly left Sun Daohua and others with no place to vent.
"Master, Master?" Seeing Sun Daohua stunned for a long time, the servant couldn't help but call out softly.
Sun Daohua quickly came to his senses after hearing the servant's voice.
"Keep talking." Sun Daohua said expressionlessly.
"Yes." The servant agreed, and then continued: "The third wave of people who came out of Prince Yan's Mansion, as soon as they walked out of Juyang City, dispersed into several teams of different sizes, heading towards the city along the path outside the city. Running in all directions."
"What?!" Sun Daohua's eyes widened when he heard this.
The servant was unclear, so he had to repeat: "Sir, the third wave of people coming out of Prince Yan's Mansion, as soon as they walked out of Juyang City, they dispersed into several teams of different sizes, running in all directions along the paths outside the city. go."
Sun Daohua pondered for a moment, and then continued to ask calmly: "Continue."
The servant paused slightly when he heard this and said: "Because the last wave of people dispersed too quickly, we were short of manpower, so we could only follow the two groups with the largest number of people."
Sun Daohua sighed in his heart, then waved his hand and said, "I understand, please step back."
"Yes." The servant bowed and slowly left the study.
After the servant left, Sun Daohua turned to the darkness and whispered, "Shadow, silence."
"Follow the order!" A low response suddenly came from the darkness of the study.
When you are the only one left in the study.
Sun Daohua walked slowly to the Taishi's chair behind the bookcase.
After sitting down, I kept thinking about all the information about Prince Yan's Mansion today.
After a while, Sun Daohua murmured in a low voice: "Where on earth did you get so much financial resources?"
Whether it is purchasing war horses or recruiting and raising soldiers, a large amount of money is needed.
The imperial court gave Xu Yi a lot of grain, horses, and ordnance. These things had already been spread throughout the Zhou Dynasty along with Xu Yi's document regarding the feudal land.
In addition, Sun Daohua also has a complete wedding list of King Yan.
According to what Sun Daohua saw, even if Xu Yi sold all the gifts and even Princess Yan's dowry, it would be difficult to raise a large number of elite soldiers.
After all, the treatment given by Xu Yi was really great.
Just relying on gifts, dowry, and what the court gave you will definitely not be able to sustain you for too long, and even if you count the food, it will definitely not be enough.
He, Sun Daohua, can understand the facts, but Xu Yi can't understand them?
Sun Daohua raised his head and looked at the palace of Prince Yan in the east of the city, and murmured in a low voice: "Where does your confidence come from?"
