150 Return to fief
"Report to the Lord——" Zhao Hua bowed his hand and replied: "There are nearly 200,000 Chu troops under the command of Prince Mi Heng, and they have joined forces with 30,000 Song troops and 10,000 Yue troops, and a total of 240,000 people."
"Going north to attack Qi, and you will be victorious all the way!"
"First break [Qiyang], [Yangdu], and then seize the important town of Qi State [Chengyang]."
"A few days ago, the army surrounded [Jucheng]!"
Xiong Wuliang was amazed.
Facing Qi Guo, who was unable to fight back, Mi Heng's movements were fast enough.
How long has it been?
It has swept hundreds of miles of land in the southern part of Qi State.
Song and Yue were also clever and came over to hug their thighs and then beat the dogs in the water.
It is estimated that these two small countries will definitely benefit a lot in this counterattack.
"How did Qi State respond?" Xiong Wuliang asked again.
"Qi State gathered troops from all over the country, and at the same time, it bought the rangers with a lot of money. The exhausted people became soldiers. In just twenty days, it gathered 300,000 troops..."
Xiong Wuliang was stupid.
What kind of mobilization ability is this?
It's really money-making ability, right?
Zhao Hua said in a breath: "Recently, Prince Mi Heng has decided to withdraw his troops. The temporary army of Qi State pieced together did not pursue it, but followed the three-country coalition forces of Chu, Song and Yue, silently regaining the lost territory..."
Xiong Wuliang nodded.
Mi Heng retreated his troops was a wise move.
After all, Qi is a big country. Although he has given more than 100,000 heads, his vitality is still there.
Judging from the situation where Qi State summoned 300,000 troops in one breath - if Qi State is really frightened, the whole country may be mobilized to create 500,000 and 600,000 troops.
It is correct to stop when you see it is good!
This time, the State of Chu had already won a great victory - the more than 100 miles of land seized by Qi, although it did not border the State of Chu, could not be transformed into the territory of Chu... but the population and wealth that were plundered must be an astronomical figure.
When the country was conquered and destroyed the poor Yue Kingdom, the State of Chu, which had been very rich in civil strife, made a fortune from it.
With the wealth of Qi, this battle will inevitably bring great rewards.
Of course, because the land seized by Qi does not border with Chu, these lands cannot be taken for themselves by Chu. Having said that, Mi Heng must not dare to invade such a large piece of land as Qi.
I was afraid of attracting crazy revenge from Qi State!
In short, this battle has been successfully completed.
Everything on the battlefield has been settled, and the next step is the confrontation and disputes at the negotiating table... Of course, those dealings have nothing to do with Xiong Wuliang.
Xiong Wuliang waved his hand: "Get back to the fiefdom!"
So many days have passed, and trivial matters such as disaster relief and clearance have actually been completed long ago.
The reason why Xiong Wuliang has not withdrawn his troops was because the front line was still fighting - if he, the vassal king, returned to the fiefdom with his troops at this time, he would be suspected of desertion.
Therefore, he took advantage of the excuse of "sweeping the remaining Qi army" and stationed in [Gaoping] with the three thousand troops.
Now that Mi Heng on the front line has withdrawn his troops, Xiong Wuliang can finally return to his fiefdom!
With the order to withdraw troops and go home, everyone is excited about the Three Thousand Tribes!
This battle lasted for several months.
...
Quyang County.
"The Lord is back! The Lord is back!" The amazing news reached the study room in Quyang Jun's mansion.
Behind the piles of documents, Qu Yuan poked his head out.
Looking closely, Qu Yuan's forehead was covered with wrinkles and his hair turned gray.
"Is Xiong Wuliang back?" Qu Yuan suddenly stood up, his tone changed: "I want to go and welcome him!"
Three months! Do you know how I came here in these three months?
Not to mention the government affairs that Qu Yuan and Zhao Hua were dealing with, now they are all piled up on Qu Yuan alone...
The population that Xiong Wuliang brought back was so anxious that Qu Yuan was overwhelmed!
Refugees north of Xia Pi and refugees downstream of Huai River... under the instigation of Xiong Wuliang, all ran to the fiefdom, and together, they had a population of more than 100,000!
Damn you!
Qu Yuan was so busy that he kicked the back of the head!
Fortunately, the Ping'a County Magistrate Hu Cong was also very talented and was summoned by Qu Yuan to Quyangjun's Mansion to assist in resettlement of refugees, so he barely survived the difficulties.
Qu Yuan was in a state of grief and anger—
Now he also understood that Xiong Wuliang just wanted to treat himself as a donkey!
...
Xiong Wuliang looked at Qu Yuan, who had been aged several years in front of him, and felt a little guilty and smiled embarrassedly.
Qu Yuan took a deep breath and glanced at Zhao Ga.
Just caught the gloating expression that flashed across Zhao Hua's face—
"Mr. Zhao, don't rest, let's work together." Qu Yuan said expressionlessly, pulling Zhao Wai down as soon as possible...
However, the soldiers of the three armies accepted the cheers from the people in the fiefdom and returned straight to Quyang City.
"Quyang and Shaohu soldiers will rest and rest. The rewards will be made as soon as possible according to the amount of the credit." Xiong Wuliang said.
Zhong Hua and Shao Hu passed the orders, and the three thousand Quyang Army and the soldiers of Shaohu Army were naturally happy...
Back in the study room in the mansion, Xiong Wuliang sat in the main seat.
Next, sitting Qu Yuan, Zhao Hua, Shi Er, Zhong Hua, Shao Hu, Song Zhe...
The fiefdom today is full of talents.
Xiong Wuliang began to ask: "How has the fief developed after several months of separation?"
Qu Yuan and Shi Er respectively explain—
Now there are nearly 200,000 people in the fiefdom!
Moreover, the production capacity of the industrial park has been further improved with the support of funds.
The business shop has been established. Under the leadership of the newly-employed employee Song Zhe, a chamber of commerce called "Quyang Business Shopping House" was established. More than ten large caravans affiliated to the government were organized to smuggle bulk goods such as ceramics, white paper, lacquerware, and cloth, bringing huge trade profits to Quyang County.
In addition, business travelers from all countries frequently...
It can be said that Quyang County has now vaguely replaced Linzi and has become the center of world commerce.
The wealth of the seven countries is gathering towards Quyang County.
If you can stand from the perspective of God, you can see golden coins gathered from all over the world, gathered in Quyang, and exchanged...
After some summary, Xiong Wuliang was very satisfied.
Xiong Wuliang took out a wrinkled piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Qu Yuan: "Send some people to Yingdu and get the money from Gongzilan's mansion."
"It's another huge sum of 20,000 gold!"
This is the compensation Zilan gave to Xiong Wuliang at the beginning...
Qu Yuan was shocked - his son, he is so good at making money!
How did this be done?
He could actually pry out such a large amount of money from Zilan!
...
After a moment, all the confidants left one after another.
Xiong Wuliang got up and stretched his body - it was great to go home.
Just as I was about to return to the bedroom, I looked for Xiaoyi, a maid whom I haven't seen for a long time, to study poetry and songs...
But I saw Qu Yuan turn back in a hurry—
"Master, there is another strange thing in the fiefdom, I want to share it with you."
Xiong Wuliang was thinking about the more important things in the bedroom, and seemed a little absent-minded for a moment: "What's wrong?"
Qu Yuan's face turned upright and he was very serious: "Master, have you offended the Qin people?"
Xiong Wuliang was stunned, and only heard Qu Yuan amplify his voice and said, "Why have there been so many Qin spies caught in the fiefdom in the past few months??"
Xiong Wuliang:?
This is actually happening?!
Chapter completed!
