Chapter 1132 The Current Yu Gong

Chapter 1132 The Current Yu Gong
The next day, King Qin Shao Jin set off.

He was going to inspect Longxi and Tianshui, and then return from Dazhen Pass. On the way, he would rest for two days in Yong County, Fufeng County (now Fengxiang), and finally return to Luoyang.

There were a lot more treasures in the caravan that set off, as well as Yao's troops guarding these treasures - they moved so quickly that one wondered if they had been prepared in advance.

Yao Yi Zhong sent a son named Yao Yisheng, who brought a total of one thousand soldiers and pulled three hundred carts filled with furs, medicinal herbs, honey, pepper, dried fruits, wine and other goods.

The most valuable of them is probably something the natives call "Sese Stone", which is the ornament that Yao wore on the ends of her hair when she danced that night. It is called "Green Stone" or "Jingzhou Stone" in the Central Plains, which is actually turquoise.

Yao Yizhong is very experienced and will not give you a chance to refuse. Of course, since Shao Jin is young and has been tricked, he will not hesitate to do so. That will only make him lose more points. It is better to be generous. After all, it is time to think about how to deal with the aftermath.

On his way, he also met a large number of carriages and horses heading eastward.

Most of the goods on the train were military supplies such as food and equipment, which came from Longxi and Jincheng and were sent to Yong County in batches.

This place has become a transportation hub for food, fodder and military equipment. Young men from various counties, food, equipment and even cattle and sheep are being transported here. Even the Duzhi commanders of Chang'an and Tianshui have brought their men over to personally direct the transportation.

From Yong County to the south, after leaving Chencang, you will reach the northern entrance of Sanguan in more than fifty miles.

About 140 miles southwest of Sanguan is Liangquan Town (now Fengxian County).

This is a newly established military town, governed by the old city of Liangquan of Cao Wei, and now it is garrisoned by the Silver Spear Left Camp.

Travel fifty miles west from Liangquan Town and then turn southwest for one hundred and twenty miles, and you will reach Hechi County, Wudu County (now northwest of Hui County).

After leaving Hechi, go south first, then walk southeast for 180 miles, and you will reach Wuxing Town.

This town was also newly established. Yang Dan temporarily settled here. It was located near the later Lueyang County and was a settlement area for the Di people. During the Jin Dynasty, Wuxingfan was established to conduct trade.

The distance from Liangquan Town to Wuxing Town is 300 miles, with many pavilions and planks along the way, and the mountains are very dangerous, which is simply a logistical nightmare. This is also the main reason why the Di and Qiang in Qiuchi held out for so long from Liu Han to Shaoliang.

There is a mountain a few dozen miles east of Wuxing Town, named "Feixianling". A small village was built on the ridge, with more than a hundred soldiers stationed there. This is the contact line between the Daliang Dynasty and Li Cheng.

The Cheng army built a city more than ten miles southeast of the ridge, named "Xia Taocheng", to block the road.

After passing this city and crossing a mountain, walking east for more than a hundred miles, you will reach Mianyang County, which is already located in the Hanzhong Plain.

Therefore, attacking Wudu County was still effective, at least it saved the day for the Han and Chinese Communists.

Before breakfast today, Shao Jin also talked with generals such as Jin Guan, Yao Yishen, and Chen Kui about the attack on Hanzhong. They all agreed to advance from Wudu, and Jin Zheng also thought so.

But this is destined to be difficult. If they burn the plank road, they can block you for a long time. It has nothing to do with combat effectiveness. It's just that the road is difficult to walk on.

Of course, everyone knows that they may not be the main force along this route. The emperor probably wants to follow the route of Liu Xiu and Liu Bei entering Shu and break through from the Badong direction.

However, the feint attack cannot be done without effort. The harder the attack in Hanzhong, the more it can tie down the country's army and reduce the resistance in the Sanba area. Therefore, this is destined to be a tragic battle, and it is unknown how much blood of the Hu and Han soldiers will be shed.

"Will Your Highness stay in Guanzhong?" On the desolate post road, Yao Yishen looked at his "brother-in-law" steadily and asked in a low voice.

Jin Guan smiled without saying anything, rode away on his horse to inspect.

Shao Jin cleared his throat and said, "It's not easy along the way, right?"

"It's really hard to fight." Yao Yisheng said honestly: "The road is too difficult to travel. Even if we take Hanzhong, it will be difficult to go south. But-"

Chen Kui was listening on the side. He now had a very bad impression of Yao Yisheng. The relationship between His Highness and my sister had not yet been finalized, so how come it was the turn of Yao Laoqiang's daughter?

Thinking of this, he secretly glanced at the carriage not far away.

The curtain of the carriage was half lifted, and Yao was sitting in the carriage holding a zither, secretly looking at the King of Qin.

Shao Jin was not so impatient. He always treated Yao with courtesy, even though she had already agreed. But he would not refuse Yao's tea and meals, and it was obvious that she had already accepted it in her heart.

He was a rookie who was tricked by the old rogue. He had to admit his defeat. He had to learn from his mistakes and make corrections in the future.

Besides, Yao was innocent, and taking one's anger out on her was obviously not a manly act and was too petty.

Besides, she is very pretty and her dancing skills are amazing, so she won’t be too lonely in the future.

"But what?" Shao Jin looked at Yao Yishen and asked.

"If Your Highness can lead the army, the Yao family of Nan'an will advance into Hanzhong and make Your Highness famous even at the risk of their lives," said Yao Yishen.

Shao Jin said nothing after hearing this.

And through this sentence, he also realized something: it turns out that if someone else is in charge, Yao Laoqiang will not work too hard and will just do his job.

Perhaps, Yao Laoqiang is really capable of taking Hanzhong, it all depends on whether he is willing to spend a lot of money.

One thing can also be deduced from this: war is a very complicated matter, fighting to the death and fighting not to the death are two completely different things.

No wonder my father always said “fight hard”. I just heard this sentence before and never thought about it deeply. Now I think: You mother and slave, it turns out there is a way to fight without fighting hard!
If they were to "fight hard" and "die to the death", the casualties would be too great and most people would not be willing to do so.

He has so much to learn.

For most things, teaching is not effective, the only way is to experience more!

"I have many soldiers to protect me, so I don't need you to be by my side all the time. How about this, you go to Yingchuan quickly to find my uncle." Shao Jin looked at Yao Yisheng and said, "He is still in trouble, so be careful and go after nightfall."

"Mr. Yu, the Minister of the Central Secretariat?" Yao Yisheng hesitated. "The Minister of the Central Secretariat is now Le Hongxu." Shao Jin said, "Most of the people in the Yu family... are in mourning."

Yao Yishen was speechless.

When a member of a noble family dies, the relatives will mourn for one to three years depending on the closeness of their relationship.

Lu Songduo, the general of Huangshi Town, was about to die. His sons were appointed as the chief secretary, the military commander, and the deputy general. They were very filial and none of them wanted to be in mourning.

However, even though the son of the Yu family was in trouble, the group of Yingchuan scholars was still there, and Yu Gong's words were still effective.

Yao Yishen is also looking forward to meeting Yu Liang.

Yu Gong is very famous. Some people say that he is a rare genius who has the ability to stabilize the country. This reputation has even spread to Nan'an, but no one knows what kind of genius he is.

After giving instructions to Yao Yisheng, Shao Jin thought for a while, then looked at Chen Kui and said, "I thought about this for a long time last night. You should arrange for a few trusted people to lead five horses each and leave immediately. Go to Luoyang and find my sister."

"Princess Xiangyang?" Chen Kui confirmed.

Shao Jin nodded and said, "Tell her what happened here and let her go to the palace to see A Niang."

"Yes, sir." Chen Kui said nothing, turned his horse's head, and left.

Yao Yishen hesitated for a moment and rode away on his horse.

After everyone left, Shao Jin sighed in annoyance.

When Yu Liang received the news, he was sleeping in his thatched cottage. It was already the first day of October.

Looking at the pair of sparkling eyes in the darkness, I was almost frightened and thought that my uncle Yu Hua was alive.

The servant lit a candle, Yu Liang washed his face, then sat down and quickly understood the whole situation.

There was no change in his expression. Instead, he was very concerned about the King of Qin's performance along the way to the west. However, Yao Yishen didn't know much, so he could only give up.

"What a big deal!" Yu Liang sneered and said, "Lord Yao must have seen through this a long time ago, so he is playing some tricks. Guo De, Xin Shu, Chen Kui, and Yuan Dan are all trash, the King of Qin should not have taken them west."

Yao Yishen knelt respectfully opposite Yu Liang and looked at him secretly.

Although he is not young anymore, one can vaguely tell that he must have been a handsome man when he was young.

His every move and gesture shows an air of someone who is in charge of the country, and it seems that having been in a high position for so long, it has become a habit.

Of course, Yu Gong has the confidence to do so.

When they heard that he had defeated Zu Ti when he was stationed in Xuzhou, even General Zhendong Li Chong praised him highly, admitted to him and obeyed him in everything.

He is both civil and military, truly amazing!
Yao Yishen lowered his head humbly.

"Can you fight?" Yu Liang suddenly looked at him and asked.

Yao Yishen was stunned. Is Mr. Yu testing me?

"I have seen battles about a hundred times, but I have only led troops alone more than ten times, and at most I have commanded 10,000 soldiers at one time." Yao Yisheng said embarrassedly, "I am far inferior to Yu Gong."

The corners of Yu Liang's mouth twitched, but fortunately it was dim in the thatched cottage and no one could see it.

"It's good that you can fight." Yu Liang breathed a sigh of relief.

If there is one thing that Yingchuan scholars lack most, it must be military talent.

It couldn't be better since Yao Laoqiang's son knows how to fight.

The kings of Daliang may have to go to the army for training in the future. Without qualified generals and soldiers, they will not be able to control the situation.

Now that things have come to this, we should make full use of it. Since Lao Qiang dared to bump into him, if he didn't squeeze all the fat out of him, would he still be Yu Yuangui?
As for Yao Yi Zhong’s daughter, that’s not a big deal.

The nephew is the eldest son and should have more privileges than other princes. Unless the emperor had no intention of letting the King of Qin succeed to the throne from the beginning, this matter could be glossed over.

Furthermore, Yao Yizhong was far away in Qinzhou, far from Luoyang, and could not change the situation in the capital. Try to present this matter as a "refined matter" or "joking talk", and the emperor may just laugh it off.

The biggest negative impact may be reputation.

It may not sound good to tell others that he took a concubine before marrying a wife, but it is also a small matter.

What did Shao Quanzhong do back then? His sister was still waiting for him to marry her, but he slept with the Princess of Chengdu first, and then took in the Princesses of Fanyang and Nanyang...

Not to mention taking a concubine, he already has several children. How could he have the nerve to blame his nephew for this?

However, we still need to take precautions. There is no other reason, Wang Yan is too good at talking and has too many followers.

If the matter spreads in the capital, and the nephew becomes a lustful person, how will the scholars in the counties come to him in the future? Will he force others to come to him with a knife like his father did? The situation is different now.

"You stay in Yingchuan first and wait for my order." Yu Liang straightened the mourning hat on his head and said.
