Almighty Nongmen Phoenix

Chapter 716; Preparation

That night, King Jin ordered [-] soldiers and horses, and secretly left Feihu Pass.

The founding marquis was not idle either, and asked the soldiers to sort out the grain and grass in Feihu Pass overnight, and mobilized the common people to help move the grain and grass at dawn the next day.

At the same time, he did not forget to let people spread the news everywhere.

At noon that day, Lord Zhen Guo, who was located in the deep mountain camp, learned of the news, and his face immediately became very dignified.

"Is the news true?"

"The subordinate has sent someone to investigate, and it is estimated that there will be no reply in the afternoon."

Lord Zhen nodded and said, "Regardless of whether the news is true or not, we still have to make preparations just in case."

"Prince Li must not be allowed to enter the Northland. This old fox has been planning for many years, and he is not so easy to deal with."

Although he looked down upon Prince Li, he couldn't underestimate him.

After all, this old fellow has endured it for so many years, and no one can tell what he has arranged in the past so many years.

But just because he was able to escape from the capital under the strict surveillance of Emperor Hongwen, and escaped the pursuit, it was enough to see that this guy was capable.

The current situation in the Northland is not optimistic, especially on his side, if he is not careful, he will be reduced to the bottom.

After the battle of Feihuguan, Prince Li's son suffered a lot. He originally wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, but he didn't want to kill Prince Li halfway. Now the situation is going to be reversed.

"My lord, could this news be false? You must know that it is not easy for Prince Li to escape from the capital. Even if he escapes the pursuit, there are probably only a few defeated soldiers around him at this time."

"The founding marquis must have also got the news, and he will definitely stop it. Let them fight? Why do we want to get involved?"

Hearing this, Lord Zhen Guo glanced at his general, shook his head and said, "Regardless of whether the news is true or not, what should be prepared must still be prepared."

"As for the founding prince, he didn't bring many people here this time, and Feihu Pass is so important, even if he wanted to stop it, he would be at a loss."

"So it may not be the opponent of Prince Li."

"At the same time, regardless of whether the people brought by Prince Li are remnants or defeated generals, he will definitely prepare a lot of food and grass. This is the most important thing."

Today's Feihu Pass in the north has been controlled by the imperial court, and the food in the hands of the local people has also been robbed by them and Prince Li's son.

In the future, there will be a three-legged confrontation on the Northland side, and it will be a protracted war, so the food and grass will be the top priority.

Having food and grass can not only guarantee one's own strength, but also absorb many new recruits.

Moreover, he knew that Prince Li and the Fourth Prince of Northern Chu had close contacts. When necessary, who knew if he would reach some cooperation with the Fourth Prince of Northern Chu and borrow some food from there?
What about him?There is only one Xirong rebel who is in danger by his side, and it is fine if the other party does not ask him for something, how can he expect them to support him?

He also talked about the purchase of grain by Northern Chu. To be honest, he was not too optimistic. After all, there was the Fourth Prince of Northern Chu on the border of Northern Chu.

Even if he could allow it, he would have to pay more. After thinking about it, he would end up being the weaker side.

So why not plan ahead?
"Besides, we are not going to fight, we are going to rob."

"If the news is true, Prince Li's son will definitely mobilize people to respond. At that time, if we are in a situation, if there is something we can do, we will directly attack Prince Li and grab food and grass."

"If nothing can be done, we will turn around and attack their rear, and also grab food and grass."

His focus is food and grass, which is the key to raising soldiers.

Now the middle-aged general understood.

"You let some people go out, stare at the rear of Prince Li's son, and at the same time inquire about the place where Prince Li may land, and pay close attention to the situation."

The general retired to work, Duke Zheng contemplated for a long time, got up and gathered his troops, and began to secretly move out of the mountain.

This is a battle that must be fought.

Although he knew very well in his heart that this news might have been deliberately released by the founding marquis, even if he wanted to lure him into the battle, he had no choice but to go.

After all, if he doesn't go here, his life in the Northland will become more and more miserable in the future, and he will even go to perish.

If the idea is successful this time, firstly, it can get rid of a strong opponent, and secondly, it can also attract some resources from Prince Li to supplement itself and prepare for the future.

"My lord, should we also arrange for someone to go over to Feihuguan to keep an eye on it?"

Hearing this, Duke Zhen pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Don't worry about that side, it's impossible for the Duke of the Kingdom to give up Feihu Pass."

As the largest granary in the north, there is a lot of grain and grass in it, and Feihu Pass is also a pass that is relatively easy to guard.

As long as you stay there, there is no shortage of food and grass, you can sit and watch the situation, and then decide what to do in the future.

In the capital, Emperor Hongwen's temper has not been very good in the past two days. The Prince Li who he regarded as a soft-shelled turtle ran away in such a blatant manner.

It was literally slapping him in the face.

"Your Majesty, the situation in the Northland is becoming more and more serious now, do you want to arrange more troops to go there?"

Wen Songtao is also very busy recently, the situation in the Northland is very serious, and the two or three troops brought by the founding prince may not be enough.

"Naturally, it is necessary to arrange. I have already ordered the camps on the two nearest continents to send [-] troops to support them."

"However, the national treasury is tight now, and Wen Aiqing still needs to work hard."

"The minister will definitely fulfill his mission."

"Sister princess, are you worried about Beidi?"

In the half-mountain villa of Chengyuan Villa, Lu Yaoyao sat on the balcony on the second floor, looking to the north.

Hearing Cheng Lixue's question, she turned her head and smiled and said, "No, I believe Prince Jin can handle the matter well."

The current situation in the Northland is indeed very serious, but it is not impossible to resolve it.

She has already received the news that Emperor Hongwen ordered [-] troops from the two continents to support them.

And she also prepared some things for King Jin, which had already been delivered two days ago.

It is estimated that these things will arrive in the Northland in a short time. With the help of these things, although it cannot be said that the Northland will be suppressed directly, King Jin's safety will be guaranteed.

"I was wondering, what's going on in these people's minds?"

"Whether it's Duke Zhen or Prince Li, which one of them doesn't enjoy endless glory and wealth?"

"Why can't I enjoy it peacefully, instead of making a fuss like heaven and earth?"

"This will not only put yourself in danger, but also make the people of the world suffer."

Hearing this, Cheng Lixue fell silent, and Wen Miaomiao beside him was also thoughtful.

Indeed, it's already like this, why can't it be stable, and still have to toss?What the hell are they thinking?
