In the people, it is a small matter that cannot be small to borrow a way between neighbors, but among the princes, borrowing a way is undoubtedly a major problem.

Qin borrowed Han Wei to war, which led to the first defeat of Qin after the Shang Dynasty changed the law - the Battle of Guanze; The Marquis of Wei took advantage of Zhao's attack on Zhongshan, which triggered Zhao Li's classic exposition that he could not defend after attacking the country.

Throughout the ages, there have been countless political disputes caused by the use of the Tao, the most famous of which is the allusion to the use of the Tao. Because it was so classic, this allusion later became one of the thirty-six strategies, which has been passed down through the ages and sought after by strategists all over the world.

And this is exactly what Zhang Yan is worried about.

"There are nearly 20,000 people in Yulin in Wei County, plus auxiliary soldiers, I am afraid that there will be no more than 50,000 or 60,000 people, which has exceeded the total number of our army. With so many people passing through the territory, if they suddenly turn their faces to each other, how can we resist? Everyone, consider this matter carefully! Zhang Yan said earnestly.

"If I want to say, it's not a big deal."

Wang Dang sat cross-legged and said lazily: "This territory was assigned to us by the hussar general himself, does he need to take it by force?" If you really want to take it, wouldn't it be easier not to give it at all? In the past two years, it is clear who will govern the local area and bring more benefits to the villagers, so why bother with this effort? If he wants to take it, he just takes it, and it will be sooner or later anyway. ”

Zhang Yan raised his eyebrows, he deliberately chose to govern Julu at the beginning, he was worried about this, he was afraid that the leaders would be too deeply influenced by Qingzhou, and he would come to whatever was terrible, with the increase in contacts with Wei County, there were more and more people who had similar thoughts to Wang Dang.

"A certain person said at the beginning that a certain person is not greedy for authority, so he can't go to the stack, but he doesn't want everyone to be involved in the whirlpool of competition for world dominance! From the first year of Zhongping to the present, including the great sages and good teachers. How many people have died? Numerous! It's easy to live a few days of peace, and who is willing to live a life of licking blood with a knife? ”

Zhang Yan's voice was painful, and he said sincerely: "That's right, the hussar general has a good way of governing the government and has a brilliant record, but didn't we say it at the beginning?" Before the general trend of the world is clear, do not get involved in any war. Now you see Wei County full of flowers, like a fairyland on earth, but don't you see the surrounding heroes eyeing each other? Wait for the flames of war to ignite. No matter how good a place is, it will be in ruins! ”

"Wait for the general trend of the world to be clear?"

Wang Dang pursed his lips and snorted coldly: "Swallow, what you said is light, when is the general trend clear?" Wait until the hussars swept Hebei. Unify the Central Plains? But have you ever wondered why people believe in you and wait for you? After this battle, Youzhou is pacified, which is the deadline for our Montenegrin army to go from here, do you really have to wait until that time? ”

Zhang Yan said awe-inspiringly: "A certain conscience is clear, why not?" ”

"A clear conscience. Hey, do you really think that if you go on like this, you can be worthy of the villagers who have suffered with us? If you look at Lao Han and Lao Yang, they are all yellow scarves. See what kind of life people are living now? ”

"The rich and noble cannot be lewd, the mighty cannot be bent, and the poor and lowly cannot be moved, so he is a big husband. Dangdang, you say this. Don't you feel like you're a little forgetful? ”

"Lao Tzu forgets his righteousness when he sees profit, I think you are Li Lingzhi faint!"

"You ......"

In the Yellow Turban Army, the distinction between the top and bottom is not very strict, and at the beginning, Bai Bo was a gap in the generals, and was slightly guided by Wang Yu, so they split up. Although the Montenegrin army was stronger than other military lines, it did not reach the level of the Han army's hierarchy.

Wang Dang is also one of Zhang Jiao's personal disciples, and there are tens of thousands of subordinates under him, who used to obey Zhang Yanyan's words and recognized the latter's means, but now the two have different views, and he is not afraid to scold Zhang Yan on the table.

This meeting is not rare, but it is not unique, all the leaders are accustomed to it, taking advantage of the two leaders to scold each other, and talk about each other.

Anyway, they know that the fight will definitely not be able to fight, because Dang Shuai can't beat Yan Shuai, which has been verified after nearly 100 challenges, but as long as there is a little hope, Wang Dang will not fail to win once. Besides, at this time, someone will soon play a round.

"Okay, okay, they're all their own brothers, what's not to say?"

Sun Qing really appeared in time, he stood between the two of them, and said to the two of them respectively: "Dangdang, this matter is not right for you, General Wang didn't mention the matter of surrendering, what kind of coaxing do you have?" Swallow, you too, don't you just borrow a way? General Wang is such a bold and righteous person, will he still hack us? Shout less and discuss the right thing. ”

"Humph! I'm either coaxing, or I can't get used to seeing some people being too selfish! Wang Dang snorted, shook his hand, and walked away angrily.

Zhang Yan ignored him, suppressed his anger, looked at Sun Qing with a very serious gaze, and asked word by word: "So, Brother Sun, you also approve of borrowing?" ”

"Uh......" Sun was slightly stunned, thought for a while, and replied softly: "Yanzi, everyone knows what you are worried about, when what he says is just angry." However, you must also know that there are some things that are the trend of the times, and you can't stop them if you want to. If you insist on stopping it, it may make your brothers turn against you, so why bother? ”

"I ......" Zhang Yan worked hard to prevent the Montenegrin Army from being involved in the war again, but he couldn't get the understanding of his companions, and he was so angry for a while.

He didn't know the plan of the Qingzhou Army's three-way attack, but the movements and goals of Xu Huang and Yu Ban's soldiers and horses were very clear.

Xu Huang's Taishan army took the east road, on the one hand, it could guard against the invasion of Xianbei and Wuhuan in the east, and at the same time, it could also build a stronghold in Yuyang, and together with the main force of Yijing's Gongsun army, it formed a flanking attack on Jixian. The goal of Yu Ban's Western Route Army is undoubtedly subordinate to Liu Yu and entrenched in Zhongshan and Changshan.

Zhang Yan is not afraid of the royal gate, and he doesn't think that the royal gate has something to stop the ban, he is worried about the Xianbei people.

The reason why Zhang Chun was able to collude with Wuhuan and Xianbei was because of the geographical location of Zhongshan Kingdom, which was connected to Dai County in the north and Hejian and Fanyang in the east, and the strategic location was quite important. And the location of Xianbei's king's tent, the holy mountain Danhan Mountain, is three hundred miles north of Dai County!

If Wangmen saw that the war was unfavorable and brought in grassland reinforcements in a big way, those grassland aliens would not care if the Montenegrin army was simply borrowing.

In the Hebei War that year, the horror of the alien cavalry coming and going like the wind left a too painful impression on Zhang Yan, and he really didn't want to experience it again, let alone the Montenegrin Army being involved in the war.

In addition, the transit of the army also had a great impact on the three western counties.

Wang Yu wanted to build a port in Piaoyujin and transport grain, Zhang Yan already knew through some channels. Shipping may or may not work, but in any case, the forbidden Western Route Army will not be able to enjoy this convenience.

Zhang Yan wondered if Wang Yu was fighting the idea of the three western counties.

It's not that he's unfounded, or has paranoia about persecution. His policy of running the three western counties was established in accordance with some vague ideas of Zhang Jiao in those years, combined with the concept of equal wealth and poor and light taxation in Qingzhou's new policy. In addition, there have been no natural disasters in the past two years, so although the three western counties are not very rich, after two years of accumulation, there are a lot of grain reserves among the people.

The rulers collect less taxes, do not be corrupt, everyone is bored to farm, and the industry is male farming and female weaving, and there is no or little commercial circulation, which is the rule of the legendary Three Emperors and Five Emperors. Under normal circumstances, this idealized state is difficult to appear, but the special situation of Hebei, combined with Zhang Yan's stubborn mentality, has formed a unique style of the three western counties.

It's a pity that the people of the three western counties are in Baoshan and don't know it, and they yearn for the prosperity of Wei County. The people of Guangping County often take the initiative to cross the border, exchange grain for all kinds of goods in Wei County, and show off to their neighbors and relatives when they return, provoking more people to pass. However, Julu and Zhao and the residents of northern Quang Binh are far away, and the backlog of grain has no export channels.

Zhang Yan was very skeptical, with Wang Yu's shrewdness, would he fight the idea of storing grain for the people of the three western counties?

The answer is yes!

If Wang Yu hadn't fought these ideas of storing grain, he would not have achieved what he has today.

Zhang Yan doesn't want to marry others, in his opinion, Wang Yu's strategy of advocating business is completely quick success. Now are the troubled times, in the troubled times, is there anything more important than food? But Wang Yu actually allowed merchants to send grain abroad for sale, which is simply a loser!

Zhang Yan explained these truths to Sun Qing in detail, and then spread his hands and said, "Brother Sun, do you say that's the case?" We have worked hard to save food for two years, and we will not be afraid of any natural disasters in the future, but once we let the Yulin Army cross the border, ......"

"You know what? Now Qingzhou businessmen like to follow the army. In the front, they help to explore the way and collect news, and the latter ones are peddling everywhere, helping to raise food and grass, and then go in exchange for what contribution...... With the treacherous cunning of those merchants, let them pass from our territory with great fanfare, and the villagers' food reserves will not all have to be turned into military rations for the Yulin Army? ”

Zhang Yan's worries are not unreasonable, scarcity is expensive, and male farmers and female weavers can't compare to the large-scale production in Qingzhou. The grain stocks of the people in the three western counties are so large that the merchants of Qingzhou can exchange enough grain from the people at a small price, and then resell it to the Yulin army.

Zhang Yan himself can not worry about the sect, no matter what, the meat will not suffer if it is rotten in the pot, but if this advantage is taken advantage of by outsiders, then he will feel distressed.

"Yanzi, you are right, very right, you can't let them take advantage of it like this." After listening to Zhang Yan's analysis, Sun Qing nodded vigorously.

Zhang Yan's heart was relieved, tears were about to fall, and as soon as she grabbed Sun Qing's hand, she was moved: "Those who know me, Brother Sun is also." ”

Moved for such a moment, the next moment, Sun Qing stunned Zhang Yan with one sentence: "The price of grain has to rise, a bucket of corn, how can you change it to a pound of sugar or two taels of peppercorn?" What do you say, brothers? ”

"That's right, it has to go up, but it can't be too much, people are sending things to the door, the price is too high, what if people don't come in the future?"

"It's this reason, the Yulin Army is crossing, this is a great thing, we have to think about it."

"That's it, that's it!"

The leaders responded, everyone is poor, there is only food left, how can you not take the opportunity to earn some money?

Zhang Yan was dumbfounded, completely dumbfounded.
