Chapter 316 316
"If it really comes to that point, you can only lobby the Chu State!" Qi Xiaobai looked at Tian Ji and said.
Once the state of Chu sent troops, the state of Wei was basically unstoppable, and the king of Chu Huai marched into the Central Plains to join the forces of the three Jin dynasties in order to keep the state of Chu in the south.
If the state of Chu sent troops to march into the Central Plains, it would be difficult for the state of Wei alone to stop the army of the state of Chu.
Of course, after Xiong Su succeeded to the throne, the current Chu State is not the Chu State of the year, Xiong Huai can give full play to the national strength of Chu State, but Xiong Huai can give full play to Chu State to the extreme.
Although Xiong Su cleared out his political enemies and successfully inherited the throne of Chu, many scholars did not have the same loyalty and reverence for him as King Chu Huai.
The main Xiong suspected that he did not have the same prestige as King Chu Huai, and all the major scholar clans were afraid of King Chu Huai back then, even the three major scholar clans of Chu State were deeply afraid of King Chu Huai, and of course they also respected him.
is willing to serve King Chu Huai, but the current Xiong is suspicious that he does not have the kind of domineering of King Chu Huai, and he cannot gather all the national strength of Chu State.
Although Xiong Su was unable to gather all the national strength of Chu, it was not a problem for Xiong Su and Qin and Zhao to work together to defeat Wei.
However, where is the prestige of the Chu State, not to mention that the Central Army of the Chu State is in the hands of Xiong Suke, and the Central Army of the Chu State is fighting in the south and the north, and its combat power is also extraordinary.
To deal with Wei, as long as Chu dispatched the central army and combined the strength of Qin and Zhao, it would not be a problem to defeat Wei.
After all, the Wei State is strong, not yet strong, to the point of sweeping the world.
If Xiong Su can gather all the strength of Chu State, it is possible to defeat Wei State by Chu State alone, of course, if Xiong Su can gather all the strength of Chu State, Qi State's strategy will have to change.
At least the State of Qi will not let Wei and Zhao fight, but will let Wei and Chu fight, after all, the State of Chu, which can exert all the national strength of the State of Chu, is much more dangerous than the State of Wei.
"Duke Huan, Le Yi has sent an excerpt, I hope you can give him food!" Wei Dexian took out an excerpt at this time and said to Qi Xiaobai.
After Qi Xiaobai built a large number of buildings, where Leyi sold wood, forage or something, people everywhere in Leyi were very prosperous in planting trees, and the fertile land was wasted.
After all, people everywhere think that they are from Qi and have money, so where can they go to Qi to buy food? You can also make a small profit.
It's just that Qi Xiaobai blocked the northern Hebei region, where people only go out, but they can't enter, and when they come out, don't think about returning to northern Hebei.
Because of Qi Xiaobai's blockade, coupled with Qi Xiaobai's policy of building and purchasing wood, many people made a lot of money, because the fertile land was abandoned and they needed to eat, so they all came out to buy food.
This time it came out, it was not sent back, and a year later, the entire fertile land in northern Hebei was deserted, but there was a lot of wood.
Qi Xiaobai is no longer buying wood, which cut off the financial route of northern Hebei, which made Le Yi panic, but fortunately, many people in northern Hebei have Qi coins in their hands, and they have escaped from northern Hebei and come to live elsewhere in Qi country.
Relying on Qi Xiaobai's policy of building a large number of buildings, they have made a little money, and in other places, they are buying some fertile land, and they still have some spare money in their hands, and their lives are considered to be in the past.
Of course, many people also want to go back, after all, where is home, where is the house, but Qi Xiaobai's order is there, once someone dares to break into northern Hebei, it will be killed.
And although Le Yi has money in his hands, it has become a problem to buy grain, the north is Donghu, Donghu is the grassland, he has to rely on other countries for relief, not to mention the enemies who have helped him for many years, the south is the Qi country, and after his people leave the north of Hebei, there is no news.
At first, Le Yi didn't care, but it was too late to care later, and now Le Yi has 300,000 heavy soldiers and iron horses, but there is a lack of food and grass.
This is a lack of food and grass, which makes many iron knights have some voices, but Le Yi relied on his prestige and some food in his hands, so that nothing big happened.
Because of the lack of food, Le Yi had to write a letter to Qi Xiaobai, hoping that Qi Xiaobai would give food and grass to help, of course, he also knew that Qi Xiaobai would not give it to him, but it was more or less a glimmer of hope.
At this time, the Qingzhou Army of Qi Jiao had also surrounded the entire northern Hebei.
Qi Xiaobai looked at Wei Dexian and said, "He Le Yi has never paid tribute to me, and now that he is short of food and grass, why should I help him?" ”
Qi Xiaobai also knew Le Yi's strategy, that is, to rely on the policy of large harvesting of civil engineering to make the fertile land in northern Hebei wasted.
Without food and grass, even in a strong army, he will not be able to exert his combat effectiveness.
Qi Xiaobai looked at Wei Dexian: "Write a letter to Le Yi, as long as he comes to Yingqiu and pleads for me, then I will send him food and relief!" ”
Of course, once Le Yi came to Yingqiu, it was basically impossible to leave, and Qi Xiaobai's wish to subdue Jibei was completed.
When Qi Xiaobai's letter arrived in Le Yi's hands.
Le Yi looked at the letter, his eyes red: "I really didn't expect that all this was a scheme!" ”
Jiang Qu looked at Le Yi and didn't speak, and now, he also knew that they had stepped into the trap set by Qi Xiaobai.
Because Qi Xiaobai bought a lot of civil engineering, so that the people in northern Hebei stopped farming, the fertile land was deserted, and there was no food, although he sold wood and made a lot of money, and he could theoretically buy grain and grass, but Qi Xiaobai carried out a blockade, and they couldn't buy granaries if they had money.
Le Yi looked at Jiang Qu and asked, "Sir, what do you say I should do?" ”
Jiangqu was silent for a while: "Master Hou, now we only have two ways to go, one is to raise troops to resist, and the other is to go to Yingqiu, although we will not have power, but our lives can be guaranteed!" ”
"Without food and grass, even if we have 300,000 of the Empire's first iron horsemen, what can we do?" Le Yi looked at Jiang Qu and said.
Jiangqu is silent, resistance is basically a dead end, if it is when he first took refuge in Qi Xiaobai, resist, he still has hope for Leyi, defeat Qi Xiaobai, but now there is no food and grass, and Qi Xiaobai is against him, saying that it sounds good, it is called resistance, and if it is ugly, it is to die.
Le Yi clenched his fists, he was unwilling, he finally gained independence, autonomy, and became a prince, but he didn't expect that it would eventually become like this.
"Master Hou, you have to make a decision quickly, when our granary is completely used up, there will definitely be a mutiny in the Northern Hebei Army, and we are afraid that we will ...... by then" Jiang Qu looked at Le Yi and said.
"I'm afraid it's more than lucky, right?" Le Yi looked at Jiang Qu and asked.
Jiang Qu just nodded and didn't speak.
"I don't know if it was right to conspire with Qi Xiaobai to overthrow the Yan family back then!" Le Yi regretted that he had conspired with Qi Xiaobai at this time.
I thought that after overthrowing the Yan family, with 300,000 iron horses, I could be an independent party and be a marquis, but I didn't expect it to become this situation in the end.
"Hou Ye, from the original point of view, this is right, after all, Hou Ye has been given the autonomy of one party, isn't it? It's just that we were negligent in our struggle with Qi Xiaobai! Jiang Qu looked at Le Yi and said.
