When Yang Ji returned to the Prefecture Mufu, he immediately met Du Ruhui, who was tired of life.
After asking, Yang Ji couldn't help but be ecstatic about the result.
Du Ruhui lived up to expectations. He met with Prince Yang Zhao, who was also the shepherd of Yongzhou, in Daxing. After explaining their strong relationship, Yang Zhao promised to assist Liangzhou with 200,000 shi of grain and 30,000 sets of weapons and equipment. As long as the road conditions are slightly better, civilian power will be used to transport these materials from Guancang, Shanggui County, Tianshui County to Huangshui County, Xiping County.
Yang Zhao also asked Du Ruhui to tell Yang Ji: Yang Guang has appointed him as the general manager of the rear army in the Tuyuhun battle; in this battle, Yongzhou is the rear area and logistics center of Liangzhou, so they can just fight with peace of mind. Don't worry about food supplies.
In short, Yang Ji just freed up his hands and feet to annihilate Tuyuhun. As for food and supplies, Yang Guang would never hold him back.
But what makes Yang Ji, Yang Shanhui and others very depressed is that Yang Guang's promise has not been made public. In the entire Xijing left-behind mansion, only Yang Zhao knows about it, and only he has the order arrows to adjust grain and food. If Yang Zhao hadn't let it slip by himself, and Du Ruhui was keenly aware of it and asked questions, Yang Zhao would have concealed it.
What does this mean?
This shows that Yang Guang was afraid of Yang Ji, a debt collector, and was afraid that he would never stop asking for money and things, so he hid it.
Fortunately, I went to cry poverty and let Du Ruhui pass. Otherwise, a person with a slower response would have been given away by this "mere" 200,000 stones of food and 30,000 sets of weapons and equipment, and he would have been flattered afterwards.
After listening to Du Ruhui's story about the trip, Yang Ji laughed happily: "Keming, you have made great contributions to Liangzhou; you are specifically responsible for this matter. In a word, you just change your tricks to make things prosperous and cry poverty, until Until you can’t squeeze out a grain of rice or a penny.”
Du Ruhui didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he cupped his hands and said: "I obey my orders!"
After Yang Ji got excited, he looked to the south expectantly and said to himself: "I don't know if Yan Shigu has arrived in Yizhou. I hope they will return with a full load like Keming."
Everyone: "..."
.
At the same time, the Liangzhou envoy, who had high hopes from Yang Ji, had arrived at the capital of Shu County, thousands of miles away.
The envoy Yan Shigu and the deputy envoy Li Xuandao knew that Liangzhou's mission was important and had far-reaching influence. They did not dare to neglect it for a moment. After receiving the order, they slept in the open and rushed to Shu County. After arriving in Chengdu, they immediately rushed to Shu County. Went to see Shi Wansui, the governor of Yizhou.
Yan Shigu handed the letter written by Yang Ji to Shi Wansui and said in a hoarse voice: "Historical governor, Liangzhou is surrounded by enemies on three sides. To the north is the powerful Eastern Turks, to the west are the four Turkic tribes and the countries of the Western Regions, and to the south are the Tuyuhun is a poor and powerful country. Now the imperial court has asked the king to fight against Tuyuhun with the power of a state, and also to defend the foreign races in the north and west. It is very difficult. The king hopes that you can contain Murong Fuyun's father-in-law Tuoba Chici. .”
"Oh? Really?" As the governor of Yizhou in charge of more than 20 counties, Shi Wansui naturally knew about the upcoming war, but Yang Ji's request for help was unexpected. He took the letter, read it ten lines at a glance, frowned and thought for a long time, looked up at Yan Shigu, who was dusty and unshaven, and said: "I understand what King Wei means; Yan Shijun will go to the post house to rest. "...Yan Shigu hesitated for a while, then raised his hands and said: "Assassin Shi, it's not that he is being arrogant or disrespectful because of his humble position, but that the war is urgent and there is no need to delay. He wants to know when the governor will send out troops, otherwise he will not be able to rest assured. !”
Their mission to Yizhou this time was, to put it bluntly, a misfortune; they hoped to drag Yizhou into the war so that Liangzhou could reduce the pressure from the party.
Before leaving, Yang Ji specially lectured Yan Shigu and Li Xuandao, saying that as long as the goal was achieved, it would be fine even if they described Liangzhou as a bunch of trash.
Following the orders of Yang Ji and other high-ranking officials of the Prefecture and Mufu Government, they made a scene very lively when they entered the city. Not only did everyone know about it, but many, many people knew that the Liangzhou envoy was coming. Judging from the judgment of Liangzhou Prefectural Mufu officials and the current situation, it is obviously more beneficial for Shi Wansui to send troops. Unfortunately, Shi Wansui has the final say in everything. And regardless of whether Shi Wansui agreed or not, they had to return to Liangzhou as soon as possible and give the state pastoral office a clear reply.
So even though he was exhausted and sore at the moment, he didn't dare to go to the post house to rest as he was told.
"King Wei has made it very clear in his letter." Shi Wansui glanced at Yan Shigu and said very calmly: "But I don't have the final say in Yizhou alone. I need to discuss it with the officials of the governor's office."
When Yan Shigu heard this, his heart went cold. He and the deputy envoy Li Xuan looked at each other, raised their hands and asked, "But I wonder when the governor will be able to give a clear answer to the humble post?"
Shi Wansui frowned and thought for a while, then said slowly: "At the latest, before dark today!"
His good relationship with Yang Ji started in the 19th year of the founding of the Emperor. If he had not been hinted and influenced by Yang Ji and promptly took refuge with the crown prince Yang Guang, he would have followed in the footsteps of Wang Shiji and become a victim of the dispute between the crown prince. How would he be where he is today? glory?
It is for this reason that Shi Wansui was deeply grateful to Yang Ji.
In response to Yang Ji's invitation to jointly send troops, Shi Wansui decided to send troops out of both emotion and reason, and he did not want to miss this sudden military success; however, he had only been in office for less than three months, and he did not understand the power structure in Yizhou. There are many, and the control over the army is not strong.
"In this case, I will resign from my humble post and wait for good news from the governor!" Yan Shigu and Li Xuandao stood up, saluted Shi Wansui, and left with an official from the Cao Cao.
Shi Wansui looked at the backs of Yan and Li with complex eyes, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and ordered the Zhiri official on standby: "Give me Zhao Changshi, Yang Sima, Guo Zhubo, and Pang Bingcao Please come."
Yang Guang assigned several powerful subordinate officers to Shi Wansui, including the chief minister Zhao Chuo, Sima Yang Wutong, chief Bo Guo Xingfang, and soldier Cao Pangyu whom he mentioned.
Zhao Chuo was from Hedong. He was upright, resolute, fair and honest. During the reign of the late emperor, he was famous for his strict law enforcement, respectfulness and diligence. Soon after, he was promoted to the Prime Minister of Dali Temple for his "fair handling of laws and the best performance". , and in the eighth year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign, he served as Shangshu of Southwest Daoxingtai and Mincao of the province, and now he is the governor of the governor's office.
Yang Wutong was a member of the Yang family of Hongnong. He had a strong personality and was good at galloping. He was one of the famous generals during the founding and Renshou years of the Sui Dynasty. He led troops to attack the Southwest Xiu people as the commander-in-chief of Yizhou's march many times, and each time he achieved great military exploits. The reason why Zhou Fashang was able to win many great victories in Meishan County was indispensable to Yang Wutong, who was later awarded the title of Duke of Baishui County and General Zuowuwei for his merits.
Lord Bo Guo Xingfang was a native of Shu County, and he was also a man of both civil and military talents. He served successively as a military officer in the Shangshu Province of Southwest Daoxingtai, as the prefect of Luchuan, and as the prefect of Ziyang. He defeated the rebels in southern Yizhou many times.
Bing Cao Pang Yu was from Lintao, the son of Pang Hui, the late General Yitong and Duke of Didao County. Pang Yu was tall, powerful, and well versed in military law. He served as the general manager of Yuexun County and Linqiong County successively. During his tenure, he also made great contributions.
These four "local snakes" were loyal, honest, and had great military exploits. Yang Guang appointed them as senior officials of the Yizhou Governor's Office. He not only hoped that they would help Shi Wansui establish a complete framework for the Yizhou Supervisory Prefecture as soon as possible, but also to restrain Shi Wansui. After all, although Shi Wansui was a famous general, he was also a man with a bad record in the past. He had committed corruption and perverted the law, forced the people to rebel, killed good people and took credit for their merits, and other bad things.
