Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Chapter 369 Attention from Xia Kingdom

Zhongqing City in Yunguo, in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Guo Xie and Feng Bao, the two heads of Yunguo's great secret service, stood in the hall with their bows together, silently waiting for Xiao Cheng's questioning.

At this time, Xiao Cheng, looking at the urgent report that Wu Zixu had just sent from Dejiang County in his hand, frowned slightly, tapped the imperial case with his knuckles, and muttered to himself:

"Yixian..."

After pondering for a while, Xiao Cheng's voice sank, and he suddenly said:
"Wang Zhi!"

Next to Xiao Cheng, on the position where Feng Bao had been serving, stood a handsome young eunuch at this time.

Hearing Xiao Cheng's words, the young eunuch immediately stepped forward and replied respectfully:
"The servant is here."

...]

Xiao Cheng said in a deep voice:
"Draft the decree and order the Ministry of Industry to recruit personnel to go to Yixian County to help Zheng Guo dredge the waterway in Yixian County. The required materials and supplies will be provided by Shicheng County Chief Secretary Xiao Yu with all his strength, and there must be no mistakes!"

"In addition, send a decree to the Lujiang River to prepare three animals and three animals to worship the Dragon King of the Lujiang River. Let him go to Yixian County and use the power of the Lujiang River to dredge the river roads in Yixian County as soon as possible!"

Xiao Cheng believed in Zheng Guo's talent in water conservancy. Since he felt that Wu Zixu's plan was not nonsense, Xiao Cheng naturally asked his subordinates to fully cooperate!
When Wang Zhi heard the words, he immediately bowed and said yes.

Xiao Cheng raised his eyebrows, and suddenly said:
"There is also news from the place where the stick sticks. Before Xia Guochaotang, Emperor Xia Yu Zhaoling and a group of civil and military personnel also discovered the importance of Yixian County and began to use the troops of Anshun and Shaoyang counties , I want to try my best to stop it. I think the two countries will fight again, and it is just around the corner!"

Having said that, Xiao Cheng looked solemn, looked at Feng Bao who was waiting in the hall, and said in a deep voice:
"Xia Guo's various responses and arrangements, if Zhong Zizhuo inquires and contacts too much, it will easily arouse suspicion. The money I allocate to you in Dongchang every year is no less than that in Shangyu's spare place, so at this time, Your Dongchang should not let me down!"

Speaking of which, although Zhong Zizhuo has now been promoted to the second-rank embroidered clothing envoy, he is not as clear about the information on the operation of military supplies and the movement of soldiers and horses as when he was the deputy envoy of the Southwest Transit Department.

After all, the county magistrate is not as good as the current one. The Southwest Transshipment Department is responsible for the transportation of materials, soldiers and horses, and military information is readily available.

As for the Embroidered Clothes Envoy, although he was extremely powerful in the Xia Kingdom, he could not intervene or inquire about the military in an open and honest manner.If you show too much concern for these information, it will inevitably lead to suspicion over time.

Zhong Zizhuo's current identity is extremely important, so naturally he has to try his best to hide his identity.

If Xiao Cheng had asked this question a few months ago, Feng Bao would have felt a little guilty.

After all, Dongchang's strength in all aspects of Jinling City is not comparable to that of Sticky.

Previously, the focus of Dongchang had been on Yunguo and Li Dynasty.It wasn't until after the surrender of the Li Dynasty that Dongchang mobilized and dispatched capable personnel to enter Xia Kingdom and start planning.

Moreover, in the kingdom of Xia, Dongchang did not have the help of Zhong Ziyan, a high-level embroiderer, so his strength did not develop fast, and many performances have always been inferior to sticky poles.

But today's Dongchang, after half a year of development, has a sufficient foundation.

Even some time ago, Xiao Cheng randomly found a reason and arranged for Bian Liuyun's master to work in Dongchang, completely bringing the information network composed of Yin family disciples under Dongchang's command.

So at this time, after hearing Xiao Cheng's inquiry, Feng Bao looked proud, and immediately said:
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty! Nowadays, many dignitaries' residences in Jinling City have staff from our East Factory. It is more convenient to inquire about military arrangements than Shangyu's spare place."

Most of the disciples of the music family used the status of "lejiaoxue" and "lekeqing" to enter and leave the mansions of the powerful and nobles, and to sit at the banquets of the powerful and powerful.Bits and pieces of news are more convenient than embroidery envoys.

Hearing this, Xiao Cheng nodded and said in a deep voice:
"Next, you have two things to do separately!"

Guo Xie and Feng Bao bowed together and said:
"Your Majesty please order!"

"First, inquire about many news and information in the Southwest, as detailed as possible. This matter has just been mentioned, and the East Factory is more convenient, so the East Factory will be responsible for inquiring!"

"Second, look up that man named Gong Yingzong! He is now an embroiderer, and it will be easier for Shangyu to check through Zhong Zizhuo."

Xiao Cheng had heard of the name Gong Yingzong twice.

Once, I heard it from Zhang Yue, the political strategist.Another time, it was known from the information on the stick.

Originally, Xia Guochaotang didn't care about the loss of Yi County.Because of limited knowledge, everyone in the Xia Kingdom didn't think about Wu Zixu's desire to dredge the Yixian waterway at all.

On the contrary, Gong Yingzong, even though he was in the Jiangcheng mansion, was able to see through Wu Zixu's plan at a glance, and quickly gave advice through Feng Chu, which attracted enough attention.

Xiao Cheng keenly felt that if such a person was left alone, sooner or later he would cause him a lot of trouble!

Upon hearing Xiao Cheng's order, the two immediately bowed and said in unison:
"Your Majesty, please follow His Majesty's will!"
-
At this time, it was thousands of miles away in Anguo Mountain Luo County.

On the mountain road that few people walked in the past, there are many Anguo martial arts people wearing strong clothes and with different attitudes.

A group of martial arts people clasped their hands and saluted each other. While greeting familiar people, they headed towards the mountain peak ahead. The atmosphere was very lively.

Shanluo County, relying on the dense mountains and forests in the county, is easy to hide, and it is now the place where the famous rebels in Anguo are entrenched.

In particular, Rong Yichun, the leader of the Fuli army, who was regarded as the number one rebel by the Anguo court, scattered his soldiers and horses in the mountains, and often organized troops to attack everywhere, harassing counties and counties, which made the soldiers and horses of the Anguo court unbearably disturbed.

But people in the martial arts are more courageous.Naturally, they are very dissatisfied with the current situation where the imperial court is attached to Yun Kingdom, loses the title of country and king, and accepts the canonization of Emperor Yun.

Assassinations of officials of the Anguo court, generals of the Yun army, and even Yang Dayan and Anwang Lihu happened from time to time, most of which were done by these people.

After Yang Dayan was assassinated once, he said angrily that even if ten of these people in the Anguo martial arts were caught and nine were killed, there must still be rebels who slipped through the net.

And in Shanluo County, the stronghold of rebels, it is obviously very unusual for so many martial arts people who are regarded as unstable factors by the Anguo court to suddenly appear!

In front of the group of martial artists, several Fuli soldiers in armor were leading them towards the mountain.

Walking through the winding mountain road, and walking for a long time in the dense forest that makes people somewhat confused, a camp hidden in the valley suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

In the camp at this time, quite a few people had already gathered, all of them were from Anguo Wulin with different costumes.

Seeing someone coming again, Rong Yichun, who was wearing the official uniform of the previous Li Dynasty, immediately went up to greet him, bowed his hands to the martial arts people who came from afar, and said with a smile:
"Rong Yichun, I have met all the righteous men. I am very grateful that you can come to my National Restoration Conference today!"

The National Restoration Conference, the name is concise and clear, it is obvious that these people who cherish the Li Dynasty and the country are called to attend the conference and discuss how to drive away the soldiers and horses of the Yun Kingdom!
A group of people from the martial arts world saw Rong Yichun salute at this time, no matter whether it was a famous martial artist in his sixties or a young boy who had just come out of the rivers and lakes, they all hurriedly returned the salute, saying that they dared not dare.

As the leader of the rebel army with the most famous name in Anguo, and when he was in danger, he returned to Shenglong Mansion alone to kill the traitor who betrayed the righteous. scary.

Rong Yichun uttered a few more words in a gentle voice, and greeted all the martial arts people in front of him, and then arranged for someone to lead them to the camp.

After seeing off everyone and only a few of his confidantes were around, Rong Yichun removed his smiling face, frowned, and said in a low voice:
"Why are there so many people! One by one, are they really not afraid of death?"

On the surface, Rong Yichun is the leader of the rebel army, but in fact, he is the spy of Yunguo East Factory.It was under the multiple layouts of the East Factory that he was able to obtain such a prestige in less than two years.

And since he led the rebel army, he has continuously consumed the most loyal remnants of the Li Dynasty. At the same time, with the tacit cooperation of Dongchang, he deliberately let him capture several cities, making his reputation more and more famous.

Today's National Restoration Conference was due to the deliberate arrangement of Dongchang, led by Rong Yichun, taking advantage of the emptiness of the Anguo court, "recovered" Shanluo County for three days, and seized a lot of food and supplies.

The senior officials of the Fuli Army were very excited about this, and urged Rong Yichun to hold this so-called National Restoration Conference. Firstly, to announce the achievements of his own Fuli Army, and secondly, to boost the people's growing resistance to the Yun Kingdom. .

Rong Yichun was naturally reluctant in his heart, but with the repeated insistence of the Fuli Army's senior management, he had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

Now that he saw that this conference had attracted so many martial artists, he couldn't help feeling a little heavy in his heart.

Could it be that An Guomin's heart is really resisting Dayun's rule in this way?
The confidantes around Rong Yichun were all recruited by Dongchang.

Hearing Rong Yichun's dignified tone at this time, someone replied in a low voice:

"There are so many people, not all of them have the remnants of the Li Dynasty in their hearts. People in the martial arts world like to invite friends and companions, to strengthen their courage, and attach great importance to face. I think many of them can't hide their faces and refuse, and are rejected by relatives and friends. Brothers brought it here. In fact, in my heart, I may not dare to be my enemy..."

Hearing this, Rong Yichun couldn't help but nodded, and said in a low voice:

"It's true. The people are very grateful for General Yang's implementation of benevolent government. Not to mention anything else, but before that, many people in the army fled secretly. I'm afraid they were attracted by the land distribution policy."

Although people in the martial arts world always like to make some noise, it is very troublesome, but as long as the people do not resist the rule of the Yun Kingdom and are not easily agitated by others, that is enough!

At this time, the sound of footsteps came from the mountain road ahead.

The voices of several people chatting suddenly stagnated, and they quickly put on smiling faces again, and began to welcome everyone.

After a while, several capable voices appeared on the mountain road, walking quickly towards the camp.

Before those people approached, a Dongchang fan next to Rong Yichun suddenly pointed to one of them, lowered his voice, and reminded:
"My lord, looking at the figure and pace of the man walking, it seems that he was born in the army!"

Rong Yichun and the others were spies, and they were doing latent work, so they were very sensitive.

Those who were born in the army, and those who were still brave, had gathered under Rong Yichun's subordinates early on, and most of them had already died on the battlefield.

At this time, a few people from the army suddenly came, and their first reaction was to think that these people were probably sent by the Anguo court!

Among the Anguo court, they didn't know Rong Yichun's identity as the East Factory, and they really regarded Rong Yichun as the number one rebel.

"Born in the military?" Rong Yichun frowned.

At this time, another Dongchang fan continued to remind:

"Look again, my lord. It's the skinny man who deliberately hides behind others. Although he pretends to be innocent, his eyes are always looking around. The aura on his body makes me feel that he seems to be our colleague!"

Hearing this, Rong Yichun's face tightened, and he immediately looked at him carefully.

Then I saw the few people who came, all of them were strong and strong, with different temperaments.

Some people are full of quackery, while others have wandering eyes and habitually dodge.

And especially the leader is the most conspicuous, with a look of leanness and resoluteness, the military aura rushes towards his face, and there is no intention of hiding it at all.

Although the Anguo court is incompetent, and most of them are dead and vegetarian, but it is not incompetent. They sent this group of people who looked extremely suspicious in front of them, and wanted to infiltrate the Fuli army...

Just when Rong Yichun was secretly wondering, those people had already arrived in front of Rong Yichun, and without saying a word, they bowed and saluted, saying:

"Great Xia Southwest recruits the Si Yamen, Captain Feng Zhan Han, met General Rong!"

"Great Xia Embroidered Clothes Envoy Li Kan, met General Rong!"

"Daxia Zhongmeng, I met General Rong!"

Rong Yichun was slightly taken aback when he heard this.

Previously, he was still suspicious of the identities of these people, but he never expected that these people would report themselves when they came up.

Xia Guojun, Xiuyi envoy, and Wulin people, three people of different backgrounds, unexpectedly came before Rong Yichun together.Not to mention anything else, just saying that they were all born in Xia Kingdom is enough to make Rong Yichun more vigilant!

Rong Yichun narrowed his eyes, looked at the people in front of him and cupped his hands, and said in a deep voice:

"I never expected that this conference of mine would attract people from Xia Kingdom..."

Several people heard the words, but they said in a deep voice:

"I didn't invite myself, and I asked General Rong to forgive my sins! But I was ordered to come here only to help General Rong and repeat the story of the Saji Ancestral Temple of the Li Dynasty!"

Hearing this, Rong Yichun and the others froze their eyes and looked at each other, silent.

Xia Guo's hand actually reached here...
