Chapter 147: Catching a sheep and pulling it hard
Now that the New Chu Army is growing stronger, the daily consumption is also rising.
Fortunately, most of the resources can be supplemented by robbing the Yan Army, but a small part of the silver has to be paid out of He Yunxiao's pocket. Most of the silver paid out of He Yunxiao's pocket came from Tingfeng Tower.
He Yunxiao always felt that he couldn't just grab Nangong Jin and take advantage of him. He had to let him rest. Now that he finally came to Qingmu City, he couldn't come in vain.
The first thing He Yunxiao did when he entered Tingfeng Tower was not to find the owner of the building, but to go to the pharmacy first and pack a portion of medicinal materials for the beautiful master. During the war, medicinal materials were already in short supply, and Tingfeng Tower in Yanyang City didn't have much money to squeeze.
On the eaves outside Tingfeng Tower, Qing Yuzi silently watched He Yunxiao buy medicine for her, with an inexplicable meaning in her heart.
Whether it was the secular life before entering Taixu Gate, or the daily interactions with senior brothers and junior brothers after entering Taixu Gate. Qing Yuzi didn't like to stay with men. Sometimes she also thought that it was because of her physical condition that she couldn't get along well with men. But this was innate and could not be solved, so she could only be content with the status quo.
The first person who changed her view of men was Chu Fan. Chu Fan didn't seem to be affected by her physical condition, and he was a decent person, but he was dull and unpleasant.
The second person who changed her view of men was He Yunxiao in the opposite Tingfeng Tower. He Yunxiao was a much more complicated person. Sometimes he was not serious, sometimes he was very serious, sometimes he could make people hate him, and sometimes they thought he was not bad.
For example, now.
…
He Yunxiao didn't know that his every move was monitored by the beautiful master. If he knew, he would have to popularize what "privacy rights" were to Qing Yuzi.
On the top floor of Tingfeng Tower, He Yunxiao successfully met the owner of Tingfeng Tower in Qingmu City. A middle-aged man with a fat body.
Tingfeng Tower is well-informed. The owner of the building, Wang, has long heard of He Yunxiao's name and has mocked Nangong Jin many times. He didn't expect that this King of Hell would come as he said.
Tingfeng Tower did have the intention of tacitly allowing He Yunxiao to borrow money, but unlike Nangong Jin, the owner of the building is an outsider compared to the Nangong family. If He Yunxiao can't pay back the money in the future, the main building will have to take the blame. Nangong Jin's future will be damaged at best, and the owner of the building may lose his life.
"Sir, there is really no money in the small building." The owner of the building looked bitter.
He Yunxiao didn't care about that.
"No money? No money, but goods are fine. IOUs are easy to talk about. My He family is big and powerful, and we will not default on the debt. If you don't believe me, ask Nangong Jin."
The owner of the building continued to be bitter.
"Sir, there are no goods."
"Where are the goods?"
"Isn't this the King of Southwest here..."
"Oh I'll go ask him if he has taken your things. You can't joke about the affairs of the princes and nobles. You will be beheaded if you talk nonsense." He Yunxiao stood up and left.
"Ah, alas, please stay!" The owner of the Wang Tower hurriedly pulled He Yunxiao back. "Let's talk, let's talk."
He Yunxiao sat down again and looked relieved. "Tingfeng Tower is well-informed. You know some things even if I don't say them. Recently, the Qi army held an alliance and re-demarcated the garrisons of each army. Unfortunately, the King of Southwest will send troops forward soon, and Qingmu City will be under the jurisdiction of my rear army in the future. I, He Yunxiao, have always been easy to talk to and won't make things difficult for you. Is it okay for you to lend me 5,000 sets of equipment?"
Qing Yuzi looked at the arrogant He Yunxiao at this time, and remembered his polite appearance when buying medicine just now, and sighed faintly.
…
What He Yunxiao said was quite right. After the layout of the four armies of the Qi army was determined, many armies needed to adjust their garrisons.
The garrisons of the New Chu Army, or the rear army, would be taken over by the Right Army. The rear army was ranked after the three armies. But whether it was He Yunxiao or Ruobao, they would definitely not do such a thing as following behind others.
The New Chu Army was originally a guerrilla war, and now it is even more guerrilla.
Tens of thousands of troops were scattered in the mountains and forests and between the three Qi armies like beans. The ones in the west pretended to be the Left Army to fight the Western Army of the Yan Army, the ones in the east pretended to be the Right Army to fight the Eastern Army of the Yan Army, and the ones in the middle pretended to be the Central Army to fight the Southern Army of the Yan Army.
This way of fighting not only annoyed the Yan Army, but also confused the Qi Army. The Yan Army was occasionally attacked, and the Qi Army was always retaliated by the Yan Army.
When the King of Southwest asked about the situation of the rear army, Ruobao used the King of Spirit to take the blame. The King of Spirit could not bear it, and the pressure came to He Yunxiao. He Yunxiao directly didn't know anything.
"I'm not here. What's the situation? What does it have to do with me?"
The frequent attacks cost the New Chu Army a lot of supplies. Fortunately, thanks to the expansion of the territory, the rear army can contact more Tingfenglou. This has made more kind-hearted people willing to lend money to He Yunxiao.
Tingfenglou in various places are suffering from being beaten by He Yunxiao.
...
With the joining of the King of Southwest, the combat power of the Qi army has been greatly enhanced. Even the Qi army in Yinjing City has recently begun to take the initiative to attack and no longer stay in the city.
From these signs, Ruobao concluded that the war is coming soon.
The rear army organized a meeting, and all the senior officials were present. As the leader of the rear army, the King of Spirit naturally took the lead.
King Ling: "The King of Southwest has been coming to me recently. I told him that the things in front have nothing to do with our rear army, but he didn't believe it. It doesn't matter if we don't believe it. We just need to be safe. Don't cause trouble and cause trouble to other friendly forces. Military Advisor, what do you think?"
Ruobao stood up and walked to the map, saying: "Your Highness King Ling is right, we must take the initiative to attack."
King Ling:?
All the generals nodded in agreement.
Ruobao added: "The decisive battle between Qi and Yan will be held soon, and our rear army should prepare early. The Yan army may not fight the Qi army around Yinjing. If they fight here, they have the Qi army in Yinjing City above them and the army of the King of the Southwest below them, and the situation of being attacked from both sides is worrying. His Royal Highness Ling Wang believes that the Yan army should withdraw to the large flat terrain between Yinjing and Luoyue Pass, and seek an opportunity to fight a decisive battle with the Qi army."
"Ling Wang is wise!" said the generals again.
Ling Wang was praised by Ruobao, and he didn't know whether to respond or not. He had to say: "Military Advisor, don't just talk about my ideas. What do you think our rear army should do?"
Ruobao bowed, "Zi Ruo also thinks that His Royal Highness Ling Wang is right. We should indeed take the initiative to attack and make arrangements in advance on the plain Gobi west of Yinjing and south of Luoyue Pass. In order to gain the upper hand."
Ling Wang was stunned.
Have I ever thought about this?
He Yunxiao took the opportunity to act as the atmosphere group, "King Ling is wise!"
Everyone shouted again: "King Ling is wise!"
Of all the people present, only King Ling could not laugh, "Military Advisor, our rear army took the initiative to attack. If the King of the Southwest asks me about it, how should I answer him?"
Ruobao said calmly: "The troops have not moved, but the food and grass have gone first. Some people went first, but they were just transporting food."
