Chapter 1340: Time is out of my mind (Shangyin’s rewards are updated) (Page 1/1)

Xun Yan advised Yuan Shao on behalf of Que Yi, and agreed to Que Yi to pay tribute to Han Fu on the grounds of urgently following the power of the matter, and reconciled with the Han family in Yingchuan, but he did not inform Yuan Shao of Xun Chen's service for Sun Ce. He believed that Guo Tu would not say this at this time. He would wait for the war to end and the victory or defeat was scheduled. Xun Chen was just a prime minister, and did not involve military affairs, and did not have much contact with the outside world. The possibility of Yuan Shao getting news from other channels is not high. Now reporting this matter to Yuan Shao will not only put Xun Chen in a dangerous place, but also destroy the opportunity of Ru Ying people in charge of troops.

He didn't expect that Huang Wan also got the news and used this to threaten him. It seems that He Xian has made great progress in recent years, and this assassination has been doing a very good job.

Xun Yan raised his head, looked at He Kui for a moment, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. "Honest Huang is too nervous? The two armies are fighting, and they are real. Who knows whether the news received is true or false? If you don't have any screening, you will not be able to get busy even if there are ten Guo Gongs around the leader. Besides, my brother is only a talented man. When he is playing under the leader, he is only Er's. He wins less and loses more. What if he can play for Sun Ce, he is more useful than Guo Fengxiao?"

He Kui shut up. Xun Yan's words were made very clear. It is common for aristocratic families to surrender to the enemy and us. The Xun brothers would not be the first or the last. Yuan Shao could tolerate Guo Jia being the leader of Sun Ce and trust Guo Tu so much, so he would not have any disadvantages to Xun Yan because of Xun Chen. Even if they could inform Yuan Shao of this news, if Guo Tu was freed from Xun Yan, Xun Yan would not have anything to do, but they offended Xun Yan and tore him apart.

The Xun family not only had Xun Yan, but also Xun Yu in Chang'an.

Xun Yan turned to He Xian again. "Brother Zi, can you meet your younger brother? If so, please tell me a word. Guo Youdao once said, "Whose house is to stop? All the knowledgeable people in the world know that the destiny of heaven is in the leader, and it is difficult to violate the destiny of heaven with his own strength. If you make a living, there is no need. The Xun family can still support a few idle people. If you want to be grateful and seek perfection, you should endure it and wait for change and don't worry."

He Xian frowned. Although he had no knowledge, he could understand the threat in Xun Yan's words. He was not in harmony with Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao would not believe him. He could not hurt Xun Yan, but he would cause him a murder.

With just a few words, he suffocated He Kui and He Xian, and Xun Yan smiled enthusiastically again. He pulled He Xian's clothes. "It's so hot, and you still wear such thick clothes. Are you not afraid of heat? I haven't seen each other for many years. Today I meet again. I have a gift for Brother Gao and Zitong. We have recently got some Yue cloth, which is the kind of thing we do. It's sweat-absorbing and not sticking to the body, and it's thick. One piece is enough. Don't worry about being rude to expose your body."

He Kui had seen Xun Yan's clothes for a long time, but he didn't know the origin. When Xun Yan said it was Yue Bu, he felt a move in his heart and asked quickly: "Is it a cloth produced in Wu and Yue?"

"Yes, you know, too?"

"Xiuro, do you know how much trouble this Yuebu has caused recently?"

He Kui asked He Xian to tell what he knew. After hearing this, Xun Yan realized that Yue cloth was so intimate that in the Chen and Liang countries, it was sold for about 2,000 yuan per piece, which was equivalent to the price of silk, several times the price of ordinary cloth. Although it was still far less than the price of silk, for the lower-middle-sided families, this kind of cloth was already a rare high-quality cloth. In terms of comfort and convenience, it was even better than silk. Therefore, not only ordinary people were eager to be so eager, but even the good family liked to wear it, so that this Yue cloth was robbed as soon as it was launched, with no market price.

Xun Yan became more and more nervous as he thought about it, and his scalp became numb. He believed that this kind of Yue cloth would not only be sold in Chen and Liang countries, but sooner or later it would be introduced to Jizhou. If it was also so popular in Jizhou, then the cloth chamber of commerce in Jizhou would be greatly affected. The most prominent example is the paper shop. Jizhou paper was pressed by Nanyang paper and could not be raised, so he could only be forced to suppress it by Yuan Shao's order. Despite this, the paper used by the gentry of Jizhou was still Nanyang paper.

Paper is only useful for scholars, but cloth can be used by everyone. Although Jizhou’s paper is poor, at least it can be used, Jizhou has no local cloth that can be compared with Yue cloth. Either the quality is too rough, only poor people use it, or the price is too expensive, and only wealthy families can afford it. Such Yue cloth, which can meet the requirements of most people but is not too high, once entered Jizhou, there are almost no competitors.

The Jizhou family is in trouble. Although Xun Yan has always hoped that the Ruying faction can surpass the Jizhou faction, he is very clear that the Jizhou faction is an indispensable pillar of Yuan Shao. If the Jizhou faction suffers a severe blow, Yuan Shao will not be able to compete with Sun Ce with the Ruying faction alone. What's more, this kind of Yuebu comes from the south and will be fully deployed in Yuzhou before arriving in Jizhou, and the Ruying faction will suffer a severe blow.

Didn’t Han Yao already get this kind of Yue cloth?

Xun Yan took two steps back and forth. He realized that the situation was more serious than he thought. Sun Ce not only had a good military use, but also had extraordinary economics and people's livelihood. Pang Shanmin and Zao Zhi's "Study and Interpretation of the Salt and Iron Theory" was definitely not an isolated incident. He never talked about military affairs. He put in no less effort in other aspects than training. This is a powerful enemy with a series of strange moves. If he cannot defeat him as soon as possible, Yuan Shao may not be able to control him in a few years.

Xun Yan turned to look at He Kui, and then looked at He Xian. "Brother Zigao, brother Zigao, what are the plans of Mr. Huang?"

He Kui breathed a sigh of relief. "Defeat Sun Ce as soon as possible and seize Yingchuan. If you drag it down, the soldiers will be unable to fight in the midsummer and the heat." He pointed to the Yue cloth single clothes on Xun Yan. "Sun Ce can let his soldiers wear this single clothes, but we don't have them."

Xun Yan looked down at his Yue cloth single-clothed clothes, his mouth was full of bitterness. Things were in a hurry. If He Kui hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have thought of this problem. One of the biggest problems in summer combat is that the battle robe is too thick. Not to mention fighting, it can be too hot to wear it. Now that Sun Ce has this Yue cloth, he can make a relatively comfortable single-clothed battle robe. Although he still sweats, he will not be unbearable.

In other words, Sun Ce had the basic conditions for fighting in summer. Considering that his subordinates were mostly Jiangnan people, they were more suitable for the humid and hot weather in summer than the people in Jizhou, and considering that the weapons were lighter and more solid than the commonly used weapons, he would have more advantages in fighting in summer.

He can afford to hold on, but Yuan Shao can't.

Xun Yan turned around and walked to Qu Yi and said his worries. Qu Yi frowned and pondered for a long time, but felt that the situation was not optimistic, and it would be detrimental to them if it dragged on.

"Without any further, let Han Yao get faster and prepare a month's military ration first. We will press up and force Sun Ce to fight to the decisive battle. Prepare more dry food for the cavalry to eat on the road." Que Yi said: "We divided the cavalry into four batches, raided the military farms in Xu County and Changshe area, and set fire to the wheat."

"Okay." Xun Yan agreed immediately. "But the cavalry should be highly vigilant. Sun Ce's command does not have many cavalry but its combat power is not weak. When the troops are equal, we have no advantage."

"Xuruo, don't worry, those Huns will not fight hard. When they see that the wind is wrong, they will escape faster than anyone else. If they really want to fight a tough battle, they have to rely on us Han people."

Xun Yan also laughed. "That's true. In terms of tenacity and fighting, Zhe Chongcheng, who can compete with the general's personal guard camp warriors?" He paused and said, "Sun Ce is known for his bravery. He also has two guard camps under his command, namely Wu Meng and Wu Wei. The number of people is about seven or eight hundred, and it may be worth fighting with the general."

"Ranking Xia'er?" Que Yi chuckled with a little disdain. "If I had a chance, I would like to know."
