Chapter 311 Money can make the grinder push ghosts
(Congratulations to Brother Han for becoming the second leader of this book, and thanks to other brothers for their rewards and subscriptions. Thank you for your support)
A small boat set off from Xiangyang, went up the Han River, passed through Fangling and Shangyong counties, and entered Hanzhong a few days later.
Yi Ji, who dressed up as a businessman, successfully passed the checkpoints and finally arrived outside Nanzheng City at dusk.
"Who are you from? Do you have any documents about entering the city?" Several ghost soldiers guarding the city blocked the way of the caravan, and a leader of the ghost soldiers stepped forward to question them.
"Zhang Lu is really a weirdo. He has such ridiculous official names for his subordinates as they are ghost soldiers and wine sacrificers..."
Yi Ji secretly laughed in his heart, but then he raised his hand and said with a smile: "The young man is a businessman from Jingzhou. He came to Hanzhong to do business. I hope the military master will be accommodating and allow us to enter the city."
The Ghost Chapter 311: Money Can Make Motui Ghost Soldiers glance at them a few times, then point to a large vat by the city gate, and loudly said: "My master has an order, everyone from outside the state comes to do business."
If you want to enter the city, you must first pay a bushel of rice."
Since Yiji entered Hanzhong, he has learned a lot about the customs and laws of the counties under Zhang Lu's rule, and has long been accustomed to it. He hurriedly asked his subordinates to unload a bag of rice from the mule cart and pour it into the vat.
The ghost guard guarding the gate told them to abide by the law before letting Yi Ji enter the city.
After entering the city, Yi Ji and his party found an inn and stayed there. Before it was dark, they took a few subordinates and drove a mule cart to the Dujiao Jijiu House in the west of the city.
Zhang Lu ruled Hanzhong with the Five Pecks of Rice, and the officials and people under him had various names. Ordinary believers were called ghost soldiers, those at the next higher level were called sacrificial wine, and Zhang Lu called himself Shijun.
As for this, it is all about sacrificing wine, which is similar to official positions such as military advisor and counselor.
After ascending to the upper level, several ghost soldiers stopped Yi Ji outside the door. Yi Ji raised his head and said, "Go quickly and tell your family to offer wine, and tell Yi Ji that someone under the command of Jingzhou Muyan Envoy is working for Yi Ji to ask for an audience."
At this time, Yiji no longer concealed his identity, but actually received the report and came to his home.
Yan Liang annexed Jingzhou in several years, defeated powerful enemies in a row, and was powerful in the world. Hanzhong and Jingzhou are also adjacent. Yan Liang's majestic history, Chapter 311 of the Han Dynasty, money can make such ghosts among the Motui ghosts
How can you not smell it.
When they heard that officials under the famous Yan Liang had arrived, the ghost soldiers immediately became respectful and quickly sent people to inform their master.
Not a moment later, a middle-aged man with a stout figure and rat eyes came out.
"It turns out that Jingzhou Yibo's plane has arrived. What a distinguished guest. I've been looking up to you for a long time." The man greeted Yiji with a smile, as if he and Yiji were old friends reunited after a long separation.
Yi Ji bowed his hands and said with a faint smile: "I have heard about the name of Yang Jijiu for a long time, and now I can see Yang Jijiu. I am really lucky for my whole life."
The Yang Jijiu that Yiji calls him is Yang Song, the first counselor under Zhang Lu.
Yang Song's heart was filled with joy after hearing this compliment, his face was filled with smiles, and he happily invited Yi Ji in.
After entering the lobby, the guests and hosts sat down.
Yi Ji then presented Yan Liang's handwriting, claiming that his lord had admired Yang Song's character for a long time, and after hundreds of battles, he did not forget to send him to befriend Yang Song.
"It turns out that General Yan You also knows that there is Yang Song in the world." Yang Song looked flattered.
It's no wonder, what kind of person Yan Liang is, even before he rebelled against the Yuan family, he was already a famous general who was powerful in Hebei.
Nowadays, Yan Liang sits in the seven counties of Jingxiang and controls millions of people. Even powerful opponents such as Ma Chao, Yuan Tan, and Sun Quan have been defeated by him. To describe Yan Liang as "powerful and domineering" is not an exaggeration at all.
Although Yang Song is Zhang Lu's number one counselor, he is still in this ravine and is not taken seriously by the world.
Now that he heard that Yan Liangdu valued him so much, how could Yang Song not be flattered?
"My lord often told me that if Yang Jijiu hadn't come up with the advice, how could Master Zhang have been able to dominate Hanzhong for more than ten years? If we talk about the most resourceful people in the world, no one can match Yang Jijiu."
Yiji took advantage of the situation and flattered Yang Song again.
Yang Song was greatly benefited from what he heard, as if he had eaten honey. He only said a few words of courtesy and humility, and soon he looked proud.
"Actually, I'm not going to hide it from Yang Jijiu. One of the reasons why Yi is here is to pay homage to Jijijiu on the order of the Lord. Secondly, she has a small matter that she wants to ask Jijiu for help with."
After the compliments in the scene, Yi Ji saw that the time had come, so he introduced the topic.
"General Yan, you're welcome. I don't know if there is anything Yang can do for me, but it doesn't matter." Yang Song waved his hand generously.
Yi Ji glanced at his left and right, and Yang Song understood, so he screened the servants on the left and right.
With no ears or eyes present, Yi Ji Fang lowered his voice and said: "That's it, my lord is currently fighting Cao Cao in Nanyang. He must also know about this section of the wine ceremony. My lord wants to invite wine sacrifices to advise Zhang Shijun and ask him to send out troops."
Qinling, threaten Chang'an to help my lord force Cao Cao to retreat."
Yang Song is also a smart man. When he heard Yi Ji's words, he understood his true purpose here.
"It turns out that Uncle Ji is here not only to visit Yang, but also wants me to send troops from Hanzhong to help your General Yan relieve the siege."
Yang Song's tone was sinister, and his words seemed a bit displeased.
Yi Ji didn't think it was strange, but said sternly: "Cao Cao is ambitious and has the ambition to devour the world, and the Guanzhong he holds is adjacent to Hanzhong. If Cao Cao defeats my lord, his strength will definitely increase greatly. From Jingzhou and Guanzhong
It is not impossible to invade Hanzhong from both sides. The invitation is not only for my lord, but also for the vital interests of Master Shijun and Yang Jisa."
Yi Ji said this premeditated statement in such a solemn way, and Yang Song immediately showed a look of surprise.
After pondering for a moment, Yang Song's expression gradually turned from gloomy to clear, but he also showed a bit of embarrassment. "What Boji said is quite reasonable. It's just that my master has always respected the imperial court. I'm afraid it's not easy to persuade him to send troops to Guanzhong."
ah."
As soon as these words came out, Yang Song was obviously moved.
Yi Ji took advantage of the situation and said: "Yang Jijiu is Zhang Shijun's most trusted adviser, and he always obeys his advice. As long as Yang Jijiu explains his interests to Shijun, I believe that with Zhang Shijun's wisdom and his trust in you, Jijiu will definitely succeed."
I will agree."
Yiji took advantage of the situation and praised Yang Song again.
Yang Song looked proud, but still looked embarrassed. He hesitated for a long time and refused to nod.
At this time, Yi Ji clapped his hands and asked his followers to lift up the few large boxes he had brought beforehand.
"My family doesn't dare to overwork the wine offering, so we have specially prepared some small gifts, hoping that the wine will be accepted." Yi Ji said and opened the large boxes with his own hands.
Yang Song's eyes instantly filled with infinite greed, and his mouth shrunk into an exaggerated round shape in surprise.
There were several large boxes filled with gold, silver, pearls and jade.
Yan Liang was familiar with the Three Kingdoms, and of course Yang Song, Zhang Lu's counselor, was so unjust for his own benefit. In the novel, he even betrayed Zhang Lu repeatedly for the sake of money.
It was with this in mind that Yan Liangcai ordered Yi Ji to bring a large sum of money and come to Hanzhong to bribe Yang Song heavily, asking him to encourage Zhang Lu to send troops.
Yan Liang's trump card in persuading Zhang Lu was this greedy man.
Just as Yan Liang had predicted, when Yang Song saw the money, he immediately became greedy and rushed towards Yi Ji in front of him. He picked up the gold and jade treasures in the box one by one and played with them, and they couldn't put them down.
Yi Ji secretly sneered, but then said: "These are just my lord's little thoughts. After the event is completed, my lord will have a heavier thank you gift."
When Yang Song heard "heavier thank you gift", his heart beat wildly with excitement, and he almost burst into laughter.
After being excited for a long time, Yang Song reluctantly put down the gold jade in his hand. While he was ecstatic, a bit of solemnity finally appeared on his face.
He coughed a few times and sighed: "I didn't expect that General Yan is such a generous person. It is really an honor for Song to make friends with a person like General Yan. Please ask Boji to go back and tell General Yan that the matter will be taken care of by Song."
, within a few days, our Hanzhong army will surely march out of Xiegu."
Yi Ji was overjoyed and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. He quickly held up his hands and said, "My general is indeed right. Yang Jijiu is really a righteous man with extraordinary resourcefulness. I thanked him on behalf of my general."
Saying that, Yi Ji bowed deeply.
Yang Song was happy and proud at the same time. He quickly helped Yi Ji up, held his hand and laughed heartily. He immediately called for a banquet to entertain this like-minded friend from afar.

Nanyang, Cao Jun’s camp.
In the Chinese army's tent, Cao Cao was holding a bowl of steaming chicken soup, but he looked like he had no appetite.
It has been nearly a month since we stationed troops west of Li City. Even Guo Jia couldn't think of a strategy to defeat Yan Liang despite all his efforts.
As time went on, the elite soldiers of the three armies were gradually exhausted. At this time, Cao Cao was already in a dilemma.
If you retreat, not only will Zhang Liao's army be abandoned and ruined, but you will also be ridiculed by your own son-in-law.
If we don't retreat, and there is no way to defeat the enemy, tens of thousands of mouths will just waste food and grass here.
"Alas~~" Cao Cao sighed secretly, steeled himself, and picked up a piece of chicken ribs in the bowl.
At this moment, Cao Ren stepped into the tent, cupped his hands and said, "Prime Minister, it's going to be dark soon. Please tell me the slogan at night."
Cao Cao glanced at the chicken ribs in his chopsticks and responded casually: "Weak ribs, chicken ribs."
"Tasteless..."
Cao Ren secretly felt strange, wondering how Cao Cao could be a good man and why he could think of such a strange code.
Cao Ren wanted to leave, but he hesitated for a moment but did not leave.
Seeing that Cao Ren was still there, Cao Cao asked, "Zixiao, do you have anything else to do?"
Cao Ren secretly gritted his teeth, cupped his hands and said, "Prime Minister, Ren has something to say, I don't know whether to say it or not."
"But it doesn't matter."
Cao Ren then said: "Prime Minister, I think it is already a bad idea for our army to continue to fight Yan Liang. We are wasting food and grass here. Why don't you think about it..."
"I have made up my mind. I will not destroy Yan Liang, and I will not stop fighting!"
Before Cao Ren could finish speaking, Cao Cao's face darkened and he interrupted him decisively.
Cao Ren was shocked, but he didn't expect Cao Cao to be so decisive. He sighed secretly and did not dare to persuade him again.
Just when he was about to surrender, Guo Jia hurried in, with a hint of urgency on his face.
"I'm reporting to the Prime Minister that something serious has happened. An urgent report from Guanzhong has been sent from Guanzhong. Zhang Lu has sent troops to Xiegu. The soldiers have invaded Guanzhong."
"What!"
Cao Cao exclaimed, and the chicken ribs in his chopsticks fell out of his hands.!!!
