Chapter 437: A Sudden Disaster (Part II)

After receiving Xi Zhong's request for help, Xu Huang rushed back to Lunu City with 10,000 cavalry as soon as possible.

At this time, Lunu City had already lost most of the merchants, and the rest were not determined and could leave at any time.

On the one hand, Xi Zhong personally led his subordinates to appease the merchants, and on the other hand, he asked Xu Huang to enter the city to blockade Lunu, and only by combining soft and hard could he be regarded as leaving some of the merchants.

But Anguo Wuji's side is a little miserable.

A suspected plague caused eighty percent of the merchants in the two counties to be lost, and it almost became an empty city.

Naturally, these lost merchants all went to Zhuo County.

There is the newly opened border trade center of Youzhou Mu Liu Yu.

While Xi Zhong stabilized the situation, Pegasus reported to Guo Jia.

The changes in things are beyond Xi Zhong's control, and at this time, he can only hope that he and Guo Jia will come back soon.

……

Let's say that after Guo Jia settled everything, he immediately took the army to Jizhou.

Jizhou is the biggest gain this time.

With this land, Yunzhou's strategic space has been extended, and more importantly, its fertile land has provided Yunzhou with food security.

Jizhou Thorn Shizhi is located in Ye County, Wei County, not far from Luoyang.

In a few days, the army drove to the city of Yexian.

Under the deterrence of the army, the new Jizhou assassin Xu Shu smoothly handed over his position.

Wang Fen was sent to Jiaozhou by a piece of paper, but she saved her life.

With a large army there, Jizhou Haoqiang naturally didn't dare to say much, and they all embraced the new assassination history.

That night, the Assassin's Mansion rewarded the army.

As the lord, Guo Jia naturally became the focus.

"Lord!"

Xu Shu was very excited and drank a few more glasses.

"Xu Shu is a poor scholar, and he was recommended by Mr. Shui Jing to enter the academy to study. At the beginning, Xu Shu's greatest wish was to be a small county magistrate and benefit one party. But now I didn't expect it to become a thorn in history. ”

He raised his glass.

"All this is the fulfillment of the Lord."

Hehe!

Guo Jia raised his glass and touched him, and the two sides drank it all.

The reason why Xu Shu has been able to get to where he is today is not only his support, but also his own efforts.

In Yunzhou, in addition to Xi Zhong, he trusts Xu Shu the most.

"Yuanzhi, Jizhou is our backyard, we must stabilize and encourage farming."

Subordinates understand!

Xu Shu nodded.

Commerce is thriving, but food is fundamental.

The reason why Guo Jia did everything possible to get Jizhou was to have a grain base.

The people live on food!

Xu Shu is still very clear about this.

In the future, Yunzhou is the money bag of Jizhou, and Jizhou is also the granary of Yunzhou, and the two sides complement each other to achieve long-term results.

"Wen Zhi!"

Guo Jia suddenly shouted Yu Ban's name.

Lord!

Yu Ban stood up.

Once he led his troops into battle, he never drank alcohol.

"Jizhou is new, the internal is unstable, and the outside is also eyeing the tiger. A general must be left behind to guard it. You are one of the few generals in my Yunzhou who can take charge on your own. Now this official will order you to lead an army of 10,000, supplemented by Zhou Cang, and garrison Ye County to help Yuan Zhi run Jizhou. ”

Promise!

Yu Ban didn't have any expression.

It seems that in his eyes, as long as it is Guo Jia's order, there is no difference.

What a pamper, not surprised!

Guo Jia nodded secretly.

Jizhou is very important, and it must be guarded by a steady general, and Yu Ban is the best person to find.

Over the years, he has been able to cultivate Yu Ban, and now he is finally able to take charge on his own.

Hearing that his former boss was able to lead an army alone, several generals were happy for him, and they were also envious in their hearts.

It is the wish of these generals to be able to lead an army alone.

Now Yu Ban has taken the lead in achieving this wish.

This time, Guo Jia led 30,000 troops to the expedition, and lost nearly 5,000 men in the two battles, but after the war, the prisoners recruited by the officers and soldiers in Mengjin were full of strength. In addition, there were nearly 2,000 more craftsmen.

These craftsmen are all talents, how can Guo Jia let them go easily?

Yu Banzhen guarded Jizhou, and Guo Jia left him two cavalry and 8,000 infantry.

This 10,000 soldiers and horses to defend Jizhou is more than enough.

The rest of the infantry was taken over by Gao Shun.

He is also a rare general in Yunzhou, and he is qualified to replace Yu Ban as the new commander.

Just when everyone congratulated Yu Bandao, a figure suddenly broke in outside the door, and it was indeed Dian Wei.

He just received a message from Skynet and gave it to Guo Jia as soon as possible.

After Cai Yu stayed in Beijing, the terminal where Skynet delivered the message arrived at Dian Wei.

I saw Dian Wei hurriedly hand Guo Jia a secret letter, and Guo Jia's face immediately changed when he saw it.

"Lord, what's going on?"

Xu Shu keenly sensed that something was wrong.

Guo Jia has always been a person who talks and laughs freely when the sky falls, and now that he sees Mixin's face change greatly, something terrible must have happened.

"Give me the order, and the army will depart. Zilongshuai's cavalry was one step ahead of me, and Gao Shun's infantry came with his wife. ”

Guo Jia handed the news to Xu Shu, and he didn't have time to explain it to Xu Shu.

Something really happened this time.

Seeing the information that came, Xu Shu immediately gasped.

This time, the plague in Zhongshan came strangely, and the border trade promotion of Liu Yu in Youzhou was also so timely?

With Xu Shu's wisdom, he immediately figured out the connection.

"Yuan Zhi can also see it!"

Guo Jia said with a sneer.

Xu Shu nodded.

"At this time, someone wants to take a salary from the bottom of the kettle!"

Border trade is the foundation of Yunzhou, once the border trade is gone, Yunzhou will be finished.

This plague must have been deliberately done by someone, the purpose was to collapse the order of Yunzhou, as for who it was, just look at who benefits in the end.

Liu Yu!

This person took the opportunity to stab him in Yunzhou.

It's deadly.

It is the nature of businessmen to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

Yunzhou is in danger, and they naturally have to move to other places.

If it is not handled properly, Yunzhou may be in a state of collapse from now on.

"Lord, you must deal with the affairs of Yunzhou."

Xu Shu said in a low voice.

The stability of Yunzhou is an important condition for the formation of border trade, and if you want to recover those merchants, you must stabilize Yunzhou.

"I see!"

Guo Jia nodded.

This time the crisis is very serious.

The enemy is also very powerful.

At a glance, I saw the flaws in the Yunzhou model.

Fatal with one hit!

What worries Guo Jia even more is that the surrounding Youzhou took the opportunity to open up Zhuo County and take over the merchants of Yunzhou.

Merchants are born for profit.

Once it is stabilized in Zhuo County, it will be a disaster for Yunzhou.

Seeing Guo Jia like this, everyone also knew that the situation was serious.

Zhao Yun immediately went to the barracks to prepare for the expedition.

In addition to the 3,000 cavalry left for Yu Ban, the remaining 7,000 immediately set off back to Yunzhou.

Guo Jia explained a few words to Cai Yan and immediately rushed to Yunzhou with the cavalry.

He had to rush back in the shortest possible time.

In addition, Gao Shun took over 12,000 infantry and 2,000 craftsmen to protect Cai Yan and quickly chased after him.
