After receiving Shuliduo's order, Ruzhou, Guizhou, Youzhou, Tanzhou, Shunzhou, and Jizhou mobilized immediately. However, food and grass became the biggest problem.
The envoys sent by Zhuozhou, Yingzhou and Mozhou to Wu to negotiate for the purchase of grain and grass were directly detained, and all the people who secretly sneaked into Wu to buy grain and grass disguised as caravans were also searched out by Wu.
The loss of money was small, but Wu Guo's firm attitude was really shocking.
The plan to obtain grain and grass from Wu State failed, and Shuliduo's side was suddenly sitting on a treasure mountain without any use.
What about the Longquan treasure? After all, it cannot be used directly as food.
Faced with Yelvbei's efforts to drain the firepower, the grain and grass supplies of the generals in various states who supported Shuliduo were directly reduced by 70%, which was simply fatal.
The rest of the places are fine. They can forcefully levy grain within the state, and they can still scrape together enough food and grass to go out.
Only in Youzhou, people were panicked after experiencing a massacre. Later, Yelu Abaoji adopted the Huairen policy. Although those people who had the conditions to escape were unable to escape, they also fled to other state capitals one after another, leaving only some bitterness. There are no ordinary people who have no means to escape.
Yelu Laogu searched back and forth three times, but he just couldn't get enough food and grass for the expedition.
No matter how much trouble he continued, he would waste food and grass in vain. He simply led all the defenders to go directly to Yuzhou. Fortunately, Youzhou was not far from Yuzhou, and it would only take a few hungry meals.
With Yelu Laogu setting an example, the others could no longer sit still and began to seize grain and grass. They mobilized troops and rushed to Yuzhou, Wuzhou, Xinzhou and other places to beg for grain and grass.
Even Xiao Hendu and Lu Wenjin, the generals stationed in Zhuozhou, Yingzhou, and Mozhou who had not received Shuliduo's order, could not sit still. Their supplies of food and grass were also reduced by 70%, and they also led nearly half of the garrison to rush. Go and ask for food and fodder.
Shuliduo, on the other hand, received news from Shi Jingtang from Taiyuan.
Daizhou has been taken over by Li Xingyun. Li Xingyun proposed that 60% of the people in Yanyun's sixteen states move south in exchange for Yelu Yaoguang and Yelu Zhiwu.
Shuliduo could tell with just one glance that this was just a pretense.
To make such a request, unless he, Li Xingyun, doesn't want Yanyun Sixteenth State anymore.
is it possible?
No matter what others think, she thinks this is impossible anyway. If Li Xingyun really doesn't want the Sixteenth State of Yanyun, why bother to arrange the layout of Yunzhou? Why ignore all the conditions she had previously proposed?
But after seeing the next sentence, Shuliduo was moved again.
Let the people of Shuozhou, Huanzhou, Yingzhou and other three states move south to Daizhou, and Shi Jingtang can return to Khitan with Yelu Yaoguang.
Just like Li Xingyun's ambition is not for the people of the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun, the Khitan's ambition is not for the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun, but for the whole world.
Out of her confidence in the Khitan cavalry, Shuliduo did not care about temporary gains and losses. Her willingness to exchange the land of the five states for Yelu Yaoguang and Ao Gu was not just a simple talk.
If Li Xingyun is willing to exchange, she can really get it.
Now the people of the three states only need to move south to get back Yelu Yaoguang. Shuli Duo didn't believe it for a while, subconsciously feeling that Li Xingyun's move was a fraud.
But then I thought about it, what if Li Xingyun was deceitful? As long as she can get Yao Guang back, she will make money no matter what.
Although she has some means, she is ultimately not good at leading troops in combat, and she really has little experience in this area.
The battle in Hunyuan County where she was severely damaged by the Yunzhou Army reminded her that if Yunzhou hadn't had too few troops, the army in Yunzhou might not be afraid of her.
Therefore, it is imperative to exchange for Yelu Yaoguang!
However, how to get Yelu Zhanlie and Yelu Diqi to release them obediently is a question that must be considered.
These two people are die-hard supporters of Yelvbei. At this juncture, it is impossible for them to obey her orders.
What's more, this is also related to the matter of replacing Yelu Yaoguang. How could these two people let Yelu Yaoguang come back to compete with Yelv Bei for the throne?
Not to mention obeying her orders on this matter, just not obstructing or stumbling upon her.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Shuliduo's mind.
This picture reminds me of a person.
The guy disguised as Xiao Agu almost deceived her with his performance in the Chinese army's tent.
As soon as he thought of this, he immediately summoned the white horse guard and asked him to bring over the guy who was pretending to be Xiao Agu.
The efficiency of the White Horse Guards was quite high, and soon they arrived at the Chinese army's tent with the restrained Sanqianyuan.
When I met with the envoys from various states and used Sanqianyuan, I didn't kill him. I imprisoned him and prepared to take him to Yunzhou to sacrifice the flag, but he didn't want to be useful at this moment.
"name!"
Shuliduo looked at Sanqianyuan, his eyebrows were as sharp as a knife's edge, and his voice was cold and powerful with the power of a superior.
"Tongbunkan, Barr!"
Sanqianyuan struggled to sit up. His condition was not good, his hair and clothes were messy, his body was covered with stains, and many of his skin were cracked by the cold.
"Are you from Shatuo?"
Shuliduo asked again, with the same condescending attitude and tone.
"yes!"
It is true that Sanqianyuan was from Shatuo. If he had not been from Shatuo, he would not have been Li Cunli's confidant.
"Do you want to live?"
Shuliduo continued to ask, the question still simple and concise.
Sanqianyuan curled his lips: "Who would want to die if they can live?"
"I can give you a chance later!"
As soon as Shuliduo finished speaking, Sanqianyuan categorically refused: "No need!"
Hearing this, Shuliduo's eyes couldn't help but condense, and his palms clenched slightly, then relaxed again.
"You might as well listen. Your Highness wants to exchange Yelu Yaoguang for this queen. The people of Shuozhou, Huanzhou, and Yingzhou moved south. However, Yelv Chanlie and Yelu Diqi of Shuozhou and Huanzhou are supporters of Yelvbei. You don’t obey my orders!”
"You want me to disguise myself as Yelu Abaoji and ask them to let them go?"
Almost instantly, Sanqianyuan saw through Shuriduo's intentions.
"clever!"
Shuliduo raised his hands to applaud, and then asked: "How?"
"No!"
Sanqianyuan refused to enter. After refusing, he sneered: "Haha, don't think that I don't know what your plan is. As long as I show up disguised as Yelu Abaoji, it means that Yelu Abaoji is not dead. Then your order This is the order of the Great Khan, and we can completely seize the opportunity to unify and control the Khitan's southern army."
After saying that, Sanqianyuan was suddenly stunned, recalling Jiang Yunqing's words in his mind.
"If His Highness agrees to negotiate with Shuliduo, and Shuliduo asks you to pretend to be Yelu Abaoji at this moment, don't refuse."
"Of course, if you are killed by Shuliduo as soon as you arrive in Yingzhou, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Taking advantage of Shuliduo not expressing his position, Sanqianyuan quickly changed his mind: "However, if you can let me go afterwards, I can disguise myself as Yelu Abaoji!"
Shuliduo looked at Sanqianyuan suspiciously. She was not a fool. There was definitely something wrong with such incomprehensible words.
But then, a smile appeared on her lips, and although she was a little cold, she agreed to Sanqianyuan's request.
"Can!"
