Cheng Bao focused on the key points. He knew the importance of grain in Cang County. Judging from the current situation, I don’t know how many eyes stared at the grain in Cang County.
Whether Song Hongwu and Song Hongwen had long wanted to attack Cangxiang's grain, the other party might have been restrained in the past, but now Song Hongwu has lost the battle, who knows if the other party will be anxious?
Only by receiving the food in his hands can Song An feel at ease, and the food in Chongzhou will also start to be harvested.
Even if all the grain is collected, Song An still has a certain amount of food shortage. The shortage depends on whether the seeds given to him by the system can be replenished, otherwise the food and grass here may not be able to last next year!
"Lord, now Dongcang and Xiling have intervened in the battle situation of Daqi. I think we should prepare early!" Guo Jia said with a serious face. The battle situation in the south is more complicated than they thought. Since Dongcang and Xiling are both good, they have both good intentions.
If you decide to intervene, there will definitely be no result in a short period of time.
If this is the case, the most dangerous one is Song An. There are Beimang in the north and Song Hongwu and Song Hongwen in the south. Once any problem arises, it is that they are attacked from both sides.
"I understand, I will be watched by someone in Youzhou!" Song An felt a little headache. The current situation is really complicated!
Song An had been in Taizhou City for two days before he had arranged all the big and small things in the seven states. Although three 100,000 golden civil officials had been summoned, Song An still felt that it was not enough.
But now it is indeed like spending money. Especially when I went to Beimang to get more than 10,000 war horses, Song An knew what it means to spending money like flowing water!
Re-made armor and weapons, select personnel, and war horses need to be managed and cultivated. Daqi does not have such a pasture... All of this requires money. Originally, Song An planned to summon another 100,000 generals to guard Youzhou.
Yes, but Song An thought about it and still didn't do it in the end. Let's keep the money to support his cavalry!
"Lord, an envoy came from Beimang and said he wanted to consider negotiating with us!" Song An was about to take a break, but Guo Jia walked in and said with a smile.
Hearing this, Song An suddenly felt energetic. It seemed that Beimang was still afraid of him in the end!
"I understand, let Yang Xian talk about this matter. Tell Yang Xian that the ultimate goal is to not fight Beimang for now!" Song An showed a smile on his face. The reason why Yang Xian talked about it was
First, the other party is in charge of Qingzhou and can receive Beimang's envoys; second, Yang Xian is also a ruthless person, and it is difficult for Beimang people to gain advantage in Yang Xian's hands.
"Lord, there is no problem with Yang Xian going to talk. I have seen this person before. Qingzhou manages very well, has the ability and courage, but I think it should give Yang Xian a bottom line." Guo Jia nodded and said to Yang Xian.
The candidate is still very satisfied.
"What bottom line?"
"Jishan and Longdun Mountain must be controlled by our own hands. Pushing the front beyond the Daqi will inevitably lead to war with Beimang in the future, but with these two bridgeheads, we can occupy it
Many advantages!"
"In addition, we also need the iron ore of Longdun Mountain. Although Tai'an County has iron ore, its output is not enough. The amount of 100,000 armaments is too much!" Guo Jia said with a heavy face. Even if it is a negotiation, Beimang will definitely fight for it.
Go back to Longdun Mountain.
Song An thought for a while, and felt that Longdun Iron Mine could not be returned for the time being.
"Okay, then let's do as Fengxiao said. Fengxiao will notify Yang Xian of this matter!" Song An nodded. Although he knew that it might be a bit difficult to keep Longdun Mountain in his hands, it depends on Yang Xian's ability to do it.
To what extent?
"There is one more thing for lord!" Guo Jia's face darkened and he said again.
"What's up?"
"Jia Xu just now heard news that Xiling had a trend of gathering troops, at least 300,000 troops!" Guo Jia said with a heavy face.
Although the 300,000 army is not enough for Song An now, it can definitely drag him into the abyss!
Song An's face gradually became heavier. Xiling's strength was beyond imagination. Not only did the north and south resist Beimang and Nanli, but it could also mobilize so many troops. Xiling's strength made Song An feel frightened!
If Song Hongwen had been destroyed by Song Hongwu before, the 300,000 troops would probably be here to deal with him.
"Send three thousand wolf teeth guards to assist Jia Xu and tell him not to act rashly for the time being. Song Hongwu suffered a loss on Song Hongwen and would not give up easily. They would definitely fight again and let both of them consume it!" Song An's face turned out to be
It's not very good-looking. Although he said this, he was still very scared. If Song Hongwu and Song Hongwen both felt that his threat was very high and he rushed north at the same time, he wouldn't know how he would die.
"Let Du Ruhui spread all the Jinyiwei out for me and always pay attention to the details of the Southern War!"
Guo Jia nodded. The current situation is really not optimistic, so he can only take one step at a time!
"Okay, I'll do it now!" Guo Jia nodded, then left Song An's room.
Song An thought for a while, and finally shook his head helplessly. The current situation was a little beyond his control. No matter how much he wanted, he could only take one step at a time!
"Chang Yuchun, let's go to Tai'an County to see my father!" Song An rubbed his brain, and Song An felt that he had no choice but to change his mood.
Taking advantage of the fact that there is no war in the northern border, he has to take the time to meet Song Jiancheng first.
...
The next day, Song An rode a horse and took Chang Yuchun into Tai'an County again and returned to this place again. Song An was filled with emotion. The prince who was once regarded as a fool now has almost control.
With an army of 400,000, the fate of the entire northern border is now in his hands.
When you walk into Tai'an County, Song An only sees busy figures everywhere. During this period, due to the war, many places in Daqi were living in miserable life, but when you walk into Tai'an County, Song An sees a different scene, here
People talk and laugh, and their faces are filled with happy smiles.
"The salary paid by Shuanglongshan is really quite high. If I worked there for the first half of the year, I think I can save enough money to withdraw my wife!"
"Hehe, work hard. My family asked me to buy some meat today. Recently, I heard that many people in other places can't even eat it. However, in our north, we can still eat meat.
Thank you, Prince!”
"Yes, if it weren't for some problem with this foot, I would have been in the army long ago!"
...
When Song An came back, in order not to cause unnecessary trouble, he wore a hat on his face, so these people didn't know that the person riding a horse was Song An. However, he could hear that the people of Tai'an County lived a good life, Song Anxin
I was satisfied.
As the saying goes, those who win the hearts of the people will win the world. If Song Hongwu had not been supported by Xiling, Song An would not have taken Song Hongwu seriously.
