    Dividing Xiliang equally was a matter of great importance, and Yuan Shang did not dare to take it lightly. After the banquet, the third son resisted the urge to return to the big bed, took two counselors, Shen Pei and Feng Ji, and invited Yan Liang,  Generals Wen and Chou came to the secret room of the mansion together to discuss countermeasures!

    Open the sheepskin map and look at the twelve counties and cities on it. Five people and ten pairs of eyes are all shining with hot light. The most important thing for the princes in the world is the territory. With land and cities, there will be countless wealth, and there will be endless wealth.  The power, let me ask, who wouldn¡¯t be moved by it?

    "In the land of six counties, half a golden mountain is a huge temptation!" Feng Ji expressed everyone's aspirations with his fist, who wouldn't want to hold the great rivers and mountains in their hands!

    "The land of six counties, half a golden mountain, is also a huge trap!" The judge said with a calm expression, he expressed everyone's concerns, how could the bait thrown by 'Ghost Face Xiao Lang' be so delicious!

    "It's a matter of success or failure. Even if there is a hidden steel hook, I will take the bait. You two gentlemen are very resourceful. I hope you can teach me!" Yuan Shang gritted his teeth and stared at the map. For him, this was more than just  It is the gain and loss of the six counties and cities, and it is also related to the ownership of the four states in Hebei!

    Yuan Shang has a heavy responsibility in this expedition to Xiliang. It is also a great opportunity for him to establish his merits and enhance his personal prestige. Being able to share the land of twelve counties equally with Xiao Yi is definitely a glorious thing in front of the people of the world, which is enough to prove his own power.  Of course, it would be great if he could defeat this 'greedy wolf' and annex the entire Xiliang!

    "Give Xiao Yi weapons, food and grass, and ask him to send troops to the west to fight to the death with the Jie people. If the Jie people win, Xiao Yi will undoubtedly die. If Xiao Yi wins, haha" Feng Ji pointed to the Hexi Corridor on the map.  , forcefully said, "Let's cut off the return route and cut off his supply line of food and grass. In less than half a month, his army will be dispersed and our army will win without a fight!"

    "Xiao Lang is as cunning as a fox and as brave as a wolf. We must not underestimate him. Providing weapons is not enough. It is best to send a team of people to go out together. On the one hand, we can monitor their movements nearby and understand the inside story. On the other hand, we will  With the bargaining capital, it is only natural and right to send troops together to divide Xiliang equally!" Shen Pei is cautious by nature, and it is not easy to defeat Xiao Yi. It would be great if we can evenly divide the situation!

    "Jiang Qi is loyal, brave, talented, and flexible. He is qualified for this job!" Yan Liang and Wen Chou looked at each other and recommended a general under their command. Not everyone can do the job of dancing with the 'wolf'  !

    "What you two gentlemen said makes sense. I will send Jiang Qi to lead 20,000 troops to accompany the army on the expedition, and then let the two generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou garrison the key points and wait and see the success or failure. If it succeeds, I will dominate Xiliang. If not, I can also get a share."  Six counties and cities, why not do it!" Yuan Shang looked up to the sky and laughed, it was a pleasant thing to be able to reap the benefits of the fishermen and plot against the world-famous 'Ghost Face Xiao Lang'!

    "Sima Yi is resourceful, has extraordinary appearance, and comes from a famous family. The master can keep him and entertain him. Firstly, he can be used as a hostage to prevent Xiao Lang from sudden changes. Secondly, he can be bribed to win over the entire Sima family and treat the master.  It will also be of great benefit to our dominance!" After pondering for a moment, the judge added another blow, and recalling the conversation in the lobby, this young man is by no means an ordinary person!

    "Da Shan, I also admire this person very much. He speaks eloquently and has a graceful demeanor. He is known as a young hero. Xiao Yi uses him as an envoy, but it is a sign of humiliation. Let me subdue him!"

    The next day, Yuan Shang wrote a letter in his own hand and sent an envoy to Jincheng to discuss the dispatch of troops by the two coalition forces. Sima Yi stayed in the mansion temporarily and wanted to entertain him to show his sincerity!

    In contrast, Sima Yi did not object and lived in Yuan Shang's mansion generously. He was originally a son of a noble family and had been nurtured since childhood. In addition to learning, he could also play music, chess, calligraphy and painting, shoot, hunt, fish, and watch flowers.  Everything is masterful and everything is perfect!

    In just a few days, Sima Yi became Yuan Shang's best playmate. The two were inseparable, sitting on the same bed and going out in the same car. Their generous treatment made a group of Yuan's family members extremely jealous, but there was nothing they could do about it.  , people can also crush people like them!

    During the trip, Yuan Shang naturally solicited in every possible way, promising gold, silver, jewels, stunning beauties, high officials and generous salaries. To this, Sima Yi smiled and did not answer, neither denying nor agreeing!

    Among the princes competing for hegemony, Cao and Yuan are the strongest. If he had not met Yuan Shang, Sima Yi would have considered joining the Hebei Group. However, after seeing the character of this third son, he can be very sure that the overlord of the Central Plains must be the Cao family.  As a smart person, I naturally want to be on the winner's side!

    Only by standing on the side of the winner can you have a chance to become the final winner!

    ?¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­?¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    In Jincheng, Xiao Yi is actively preparing for the expedition. The land of Xiliang stretches for more than two thousand miles. The further west, the worse the environment. Strong winds, yellow sand rolling, water sources are extremely scarce, and it is so hot during the day that it can kill eggs.  It's roasted, and it's extremely cold at night. The dripping water turns into ice. Walking in it is like falling into hell!

    Marching in such a harsh environment is by no means an easy task. In order to maintain the physical strength of the soldiers, a large amount of materials must be prepared, such as tents, dry food, drinking water, clothing, medicine, firewood, horse feed There are all kinds of things, and nothing is missing!

    In fact, it is not difficult to raise supplies. Jincheng is rich and has a large population. As long as you are willing to spend money, you can get everything. What really troubles Xiao Yi is the transportation problem. The two thousand miles away, the mountains, Gobi, and deserts, the roads are rugged and difficult to travel.  How difficult it is to transport so many heavy loads to ensure the daily consumption of the army!

    Hundreds of years ago, Huo Qubing, the "Champion Marquis", conquered the Xiongnu in the west and plundered the Qilian Mountains. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty supported it with all the strength of the country. In order to transport grain and grass, he used as many as 100,000 cattle and levied 500,000 civilians.  The masses, shoulder to shoulder, were able to ensure the logistical supply of 100,000 soldiers. The losses were so great that they almost shook the country!

    Xiao Yi was also preparing to lead an army of 100,000 to the west, but there was no Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to rely on him. He had to plan everything by himself and be self-sufficient. For this reason, he racked his brains, visited everywhere, and finally found a transporter.  The fetish - the camel!

    The size of a camel is much larger than that of an ox or horse. It can carry six to seven hundred kilograms of weight and travel long distances. After millions of years of evolution, this animal has completely adapted to the harsh environment of the desert. Its hooves have fleshy pads and thick skin, so they can travel in the desert.  It can walk freely in the middle, and its nostrils can open and close, which can effectively block the wind and sand. The best thing is that the two humps of the camel can store nutrients. After eating and drinking enough at one time, it can go without food for half a month. It is simply a god-given beast - the desert.  Boat!

    There are no camels in the army. If you want them, you have to recruit them from everywhere. After some consideration, Xiao Yi handed over the important task to Liang Xing. This man is a local snake in Xiliang and a mixed race of Hu and Han. He has a treacherous character and is unscrupulous. He is the most powerful person.  The beauty has been chosen, but if you want a fox to work hard, you must give it some sweetness!

    "Recruit 50,000 camels within a month. After that, you will be the master of Jincheng!" Xiao Yi waved his hand, and a big seal of Jincheng County Governor flew out. Jincheng is the administrative seat of Liangzhou and controls this place.  It is equivalent to sitting on the throne of Liangzhou Mu!

    "Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief, I will do my best to live up to my mission!" Liang Xing hugged Da Yin tightly and trembled with excitement. The fate of the two was now connected. Only when Xiao Yi won the Western Expedition could he become the commander-in-chief.  Liangzhou governor!

    With temptation, there is motivation to move forward. Liang Xing mobilized his manpower and began to desperately collect camels and camel drivers. Generally speaking, there are three ways:

    First, recruitment. Xiliang people have a tradition of raising camels, especially in the hands of local powerful men. They all have camel herds ranging from thousands to hundreds. Liang Xing relied on his own connections to come forward to recruit camels, using both soft and hard tactics. No one  Dare you agree?

    Second, purchase, money can make all the difference, let alone camels. Open the treasury, put out the real money, clearly state the price, and buy camels from the herdsmen!

    Third, robbery. Liangzhou is connected to the Central Plains and the Western Regions, and there are frequent business trips. In order to pass through the desert, these people will also bring a large number of camels. Liang Xing seized the caravans and confiscated all the camels in the name of "searching for spies"!

    In this way, all kinds of methods were used, and a large number of camels gathered outside Jincheng. They screamed continuously every day. Looking around, the humps were undulating, which was spectacular. Soldiers from various ministries also began to become familiar with these 'desert boats', training and feeding them.  , ride, and prepare for the Western Expedition!

    At the same time, an urgent message from Hong Ling set off from Jincheng and went straight to Xuchang. Xiao Yi did not have a talented Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty behind him, but there was a prime minister who was as good at civil and military skills as any emperor. With such a backing, it was natural to use a  used!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
