Chapter two hundred and sixty-fifth, Xiahou Junjie's means
September 18th, don’t forget the national humiliation. Keep improving yourself! I was busy all day yesterday, but after coming back in the evening, I didn’t have any inspiration. I wrote it until 11 o’clock, and I just made it out and updated this morning. I’m really embarrassed.
~~~~~~~~
"The presumptuous plot was detained in Taiyuan Prefecture? Xiahou Junjie, Zhuge Ting, okay, very good, why do you want him to go to Taiyuan Prefecture? Xiahou Junjie is Zhuge Ting's confidant. Don't you know? When I was not here, what were you doing as the chief general?" Lei Dongfeng said angrily.
For a long time, except for relying on military rules, Lei Dongfeng is generally very relaxed in his treatment and rarely gets angry outside the battlefield. However, today he can't curb the anger in his heart and explodes.
Chuck, that was the first brother of the original master who lived and died with him. After coming to this world, Lei Dongfeng accepted it.
Now, he was actually detained by Xiahou Junjie, who was obviously surrendered to Zhuge Ting, so how could he not be in a hurry?
Of course, his anger was not only for Li Yan, but for Xiahou Junjie who detained Zhang Ce and Zhuge Ting who had ulterior motives behind Xiahou Junjie.
"If you don't return, this matter is not good. Xiahou Junjie is too villain!" Sima Nan explained hurriedly.
"Well, go to the city first, let's talk about it." Li Changlin also smoothed out the situation.
Lu Zhenzhi and Guan Nubai looked at each other, but they understood that Chuck must be someone Lei Dongfeng attached great importance to it, otherwise he would not have lost his composure.
Li Yan was listless and looked regretful. When Lei Dongfeng left, he entrusted the Kuanglan Army to him and Zhang Ce. He was in charge of military affairs, and Zhang Ce was in charge of internal affairs and was in charge of military affairs. However, in fact, Li Yan respected Zhang Ce very much and would consult Zhang Ce's opinions in everything. This time, Zhang Ce was going to Taiyuan Prefecture. He was dissuaded, but in the end he was persuaded by Zhang Ce.
Li Ruoxi glanced at his brother in the crowd, but said nothing, and said in his heart: "Zhang Zhengmou is wise and cautious, so he should not do such a risky thing? My brother also has strategies, so why can't he see the danger? There must be something I don't know..."

"If you don't want to leave Tongguan, after you make a great reputation in the imperial capital, our Fenwu Army and your Kuanglan Army get along well with his Xiahou Junjie's Benlei Army, at least there is no superficial friction." Sima Nan, in the residence of the Sichuan and Chongqing Governor of Chang'an Prefecture, saw that Lei Dongfeng had recovered his peace and began to introduce what happened to Lei Dongfeng that day.
"Later, it was reported that you were involved in the rebellion and assassination of Yuan. Of course, we did not believe it, and the righteous brothers also strengthened the guards of the Kuanglan Army. However, a month later, Xiahou Junjie sent someone to send an order from the imperial capital, saying that because you were suspected of rebellion, the imperial capital military department and the National Assembly had ordered the cancellation of your corps commander and the revocation of the Kuanglan Army's organization, and also asked me to reorganize your Kuanglan Army's armed forces first. The righteous brothers judged that this was Zhuge Ting's plan to kill people with a knife, but because I was waiting.
They are all emperors, and without you in charge, they do not want to act rashly, but they cannot directly resist the military orders of the imperial capital. So, the brothers of the righteous deliberate rejected Xiahou Junjie's request on the grounds that the Kuanglan Army was personally under the jurisdiction of the British Marquis, and there was no British Marquis' transfer order, but they did not obey the order. They thought that two months ago, Junjie suddenly announced the military exercises and led a 100,000 troops from the Daying of Yanbei Province into the Central and Southern Province. I sent someone to inquire, and he showed the military order and the exercise permit of the State Privy Council. But this company
The guy named the exercise, but in fact it blocked Central South University 6 and strictly prohibited Sichuan and Shaanxi provinces from continuing to transport grain and grass to our Zhongdu Longyang. You also know that the food and grass in Central South Province over the years were all plundered by the Western coalition forces before the Battle of Longyang. In this way, our army has difficulty in supplying. Unless Longyang is abandoned, major events will definitely happen. I wrote a letter one after another, but the imperial capital ignored it. A month ago, Xiahou Junjie proposed that the person in charge of the Kuanglan Army should go to Taiyuan Prefecture to talk to him, and said that as long as the talks are done, it will be over.
Exercise. After the Zhengming brothers found out, they asked to go. Our urges were ineffective. Moreover, the Zhengming brothers said that they would definitely be safe from their worries. So under the escort of Jing Mingyang, Zhengming went to Taiyuan Prefecture, but he has not returned until now. I urged Xiahou Junjie only said that some conditions had not been reached. Unless the Kuanglan Army took the initiative to place weapons and wrote a letter to the imperial capital to ask for the original military jurisdiction, Zhengming and Mingyang would be released, and they also said that they would revoke your wanted and continue to appoint you as the commander of the legion." Sima Nan introduced.
"Don't let the ball go!" Lei Dongfeng slapped the desk in front of him, and his face became very gloomy.
"It seems that Zhuge Ting and the others must have forced the British Marquis to agree to any conditions. As long as we agree to be under their jurisdiction, the British Marquis will give up us." Li Ruoxi said.
"The adoptive father would not do this." Jiang Zhuying couldn't believe it.
"Now is the critical moment for the confrontation between the Empire and the Westerners. It would be fine if we sacrificed our Kuanglan Army for the sake of the overall situation!" Lei Dongfeng suddenly said.
"I'm not saying that the British Marquis is not good. This matter involves too much, don't worry." Lei Dongfeng hurriedly comforted Jiang Zhuying when he saw that Jiang Zhuying looked sad.
"Sister, don't worry, I'm just guessing. Judging from Xiahou Junjie's current actions, it's more like he borrowed the order of the imperial capital to do his own business. He didn't let Sichuan and Shaanxi transport grain to Zhongdu. I think he might be short of food, but he didn't say it clearly. The righteous plan must be to delay time. The longer the time delay, the more anxious Xiahou Junjie is, because the food and grass cannot be transformed out of thin air. The righteous plan has added an extra mouth to eat for him, but he is not worth the loss." Li Ruoxi said lightly.
"Well. Yanbei Province has been drought and rainy since last year. In addition, due to the war, grain production has dropped sharply, but Mu Tong can see clearly!" Li Changlin nodded. He was the governor of a province, but he was clear about the money and food issues of each province.
"If you want food, he can take out the conditions for exchange; but if you want to threaten me with the person who detains me, it is that he made the wrong plan." Lei Dongfeng sneered.
~~~~~~~~
On September 17, 999, Lei Dongfeng and others, who had some rest in Chang'an Prefecture, rushed back to the temporary headquarters of the Tongguan Kuanglan Army overnight.
Tongguan at this moment is very different from Lei Dongfeng and others who first arrived that day. Not only has the scale more than doubled, but the city defense has also become stronger.
Liu Renze, the governor of Sichuan and Chongqing, lived up to the foreword and supported the Kuanglan Army strongly.
Musahe, who was responsible for raising military funds for the Kuanglan Army at Dasan Pass, made money and worked together with Lingjiyang, Sichuan Prefecture. Under the leadership of Lingjiyang, wealthy merchants in Sichuan also had money to pay for money and grain. In this turbulent era, people with military power and trust were the best partners in the eyes of these merchants. Especially after they saw that Lingjiyang had cooperated with Lei Dongfeng, their business was becoming increasingly prosperous. Not only did the daily purchases of Kuanglan Army and Dasan Pass belong to Lingjiyang, but Musahe also cooperated with Lingjiyang to turn the original Ugo horse gang into the largest horse gang in Sichuan.
In addition, based on the original horse gang, the business types were expanded, and the original simple transportation of basic materials such as salt and iron was added, as well as protection caravans, and intelligence transmission projects were provided. The personnel were actively organized to open grain bases in the plains of Sichuan-Shaanxi Province and Qinghai-Ganxi Province in accordance with the plan previously given by Lei Dongfeng to ensure the future supply of grain and grass for Kuanglan Army. The farmers who farmed were recruited from refugees from central Sichuan and various provinces due to war, and gave a large number of preferential policies. Anyway, the local imperial government had already moved due to war, and everything was taken over by Kuanglan Army in the name of military control. The person responsible for the protection of the grain base was the horse thief Wu Ming and Wu Qingxiao who was recovered by Jing Zhan on the border of Sichuan-Shaanxi Province that day.
It turned out that it was only April when Lei Dongfeng left Tongguan. Lei Dongfeng heard Jing Zhan and Ling Yun say that in Sichuan, Shaanxi, the Hetao Plain at the junction of Sichuan, Shaanxi, Qinghai-Gansu Province, there was a large area of fields desolate due to war and desolation. Local people were either killed by Western coalition forces or fled to the mainland. As the Hetao Horse Farm, one of the four major military and civilian fields of the empire, there were even large grasslands with abundant water and grass. Now the horse farm is destroyed and the grassland is deserted, which is suitable for reclamation.
Lei Dongfeng asked someone to return to Sichuan at that time. After consultation with Liu Renze, he recruited residents in Sichuan to go to Hetao to clear the land. The ploughing tools, cattle and sheep, and seeds were all provided by Kuanglan Army. Within three years, one-third of the grain and grass produced by the Shanghai Stock Exchange, and three years later, the land reclamation area exceeded a certain amount, and only one-tenth of the grain and grass was collected.
Although Sichuan is rich and its land is first-class and fertile, it is too small after all, and the large number of people and small land has always been a problem that has troubled Sichuan. Nowadays, there are good pastures that can be opened as arable land, and there are also large areas of unowned arable land to plant. In addition, Lei Dongfeng was at the time of prestige, and under the promotion of Liu Renze, tens of thousands of mountain people in Sichuan wanted to sign up for migration.
Liu Renze selected a group of young and strong people who were either in the mountains and had no land to plant, or were single and had no family to be burdened by the burden. There were about 10,000 people. Under the organization of Musahe, they went to Hetao to open up land.
These farmers arrived in Hetao at the end of May, but they happened to catch up with the sowing of summer grains. The Hetao grassland has not been reclaimed for many years. The land is so fertile that it is beyond imagination. In addition, the rain is abundant. Now more than five months have passed. This time, Lei Dongfeng returned to Sichuan and Shaanxi from Sichuan and Chongqing Road. It was the autumn early rice harvest, and Musahe gave him enough food and grass for 100,000 people to eat for half a year.
When Lei Dongfeng and others passed by Chengdu Prefecture this time, when Lei Dongfeng and others returned to Tongguan, he secretly visited Liu Renze, the governor of Sichuan and Chongqing. Liu Renze said that the situation in the imperial capital is now very chaotic, and the various forces are in a delicate balance stage, so no one dares to break it easily. He must be patient and wait for the changes in the current situation.
After seeing Ars and others, Liu Renze sighed that Lei Dongfeng was in danger. If he were ordinary Han generals, even if he had a mutual understanding with Ars, he would never use people like this.
After all, this includes the confrontation between the Han and the foreign races, especially in such extraordinary times. But when Liu Renze thought about it carefully, he had to admire Lei Dongfeng's courage to identify and use people.
You should know that people like Als, Lehagel, Gareth, and Steira are all generals who can stand alone. If they can truly help Lei Dongfeng, Lei Dongfeng will be like adding tens of thousands of people.
What's more, there are nearly 5,000 elite troops from Zhennan Pass and more than 10,000 civilians from various countries, which are indispensable resources in the war.
What's more, Lei Dongfeng was not that reckless man. After he told Liu Renze the backhand he had prepared, Liu Renze nodded repeatedly, thinking that Lei Dongfeng was doing this business.
