Feng Gouqing, after abandoning, walk alone in the world

Chapter 330 Do You Have Something To Tell Me?

Not to mention that the three of Su Mianyue traveled all the way to Huizhou City where Shangguan Pei was located. Shangguan Pei, who was watching the art of war, was interrupted by his own soldiers asking to see him. Fortunately, he was wearing a mask so he couldn't see the frowning expression .

After the soldiers spoke quickly and reported the fact that Wan Yanlin's royal conquest, and that he would arrive in Jianzhou City in five days, he also reported that many caravans were transporting food and grass towards Jianzhou City recently. inform.

Hearing this, Shangguan Pei leaned forward slightly, tapped his fingers on his knees a few times before asking: "Can you find out the details of those grain and grass merchants? How much grain and grass have they brought into Jianzhou City?"

In order to avoid the panic of the people of Hengyuan Kingdom, after occupying the city, Shangguan Pei never prohibited the passage of business travelers and ordinary people, but the inspection was stricter in this respect.

But grain and grass are always sensitive items during wars, so few caravans dare to resell grain and grass at this time, and if they are not careful, they will be accused of spies or traitors.

Mu Ting also supported Shangguan Pei's actions, and the Qingliu faction officials sent by Mu Ting were stationed in the several cities won by the battle. This is also Shangguan Pei's deed of not getting involved in power, so he never interfered in these matters.

"According to the soldiers guarding the gate of Linzhou City, more than 20 tans of grain have been transported to Jianzhou City in the past month, and the transport has become more frequent in recent days. There were also cases of reselling grain a month ago. Caravans have been in and out, and there are more than [-] loads per month." The soldiers replied.

"How is the situation in other cities?" Shangguan Pei frowned and asked again.

"For the time being, there is no news sent over." The soldier replied.

"Pass down the order and quickly notify Linzhou City, Mengzhou City, and Huaizhou City that no food, weapons, horses, ironware, etc. should be circulated in the direction of Hengyuan Kingdom from now on. If there are private indulgences, they will be dealt with according to military law. The officials need to fully cooperate with the general and be ready to go to battle at any time, and if there is any objection, you can submit a letter to the emperor to report the imperial court." After Shangguan Pei issued the order, the deputy general came to discuss with everyone about the battle.

It is absolutely impossible for Wanyanlin to go to the Jianzhou city without sending troops to give the Tianlan army a chance to recover. What Shangguanpei is most worried about is that he can only take the lead in one city. Before the battle, Wanyanlin decides to He will know where he is, and if he attacks the other cities, he will have no time to preside over the overall situation.

And even if Shangguan Pei can rush there in time, who can guarantee that it wasn't Wan Yanlin who caused suspicion?
It's not that Shangguan Pei has no generals who can stand alone, but these cities are not the territory of Tianlan Kingdom after all, and not all the people are willing to submit. In order to avoid panic among the people, there are still officials from Hengyuan Kingdom in the city.

When Su Mianyue and Ji Xun arrived at Jianzhou City, Shangguan Pei had already issued three military orders in a row. Not only did he appoint a few capable lieutenants to garrison the other three cities, but he also divided the 20 troops that he brought over into one. Fourth, and ordered that the soldiers' cold resistance should be strengthened in the past few days.

Shangguan Pei's transfer order naturally received the active cooperation of his subordinates, but at the same time it also brought panic to the four cities. What the people look forward to most is to live a stable life, but now they are the only ones who suffer when the war resumes.

"I think Wan Yanlin will choose to attack the city where Shangguan Pei is stationed." After hearing Shangguan Pei's arrangement, Su Mianyue said slowly. Seeing that Shangguan Pei and Ji Xun were looking at her, she had to explain : "Whether Wan Yanlin is a villain or a hypocrite, he will not lose face in the face of the big situation. If even the general Shangguan dares not challenge, even taking back the city will be a shame for his life. This has nothing to do with his actions. The style doesn't match."

"I support Mianyue's point of view, but I have to guard against Yan Lin's other arrangements. This time he came prepared, I'm afraid it will be a tough battle." Shangguan Pei's face was heavy, but he only You can see his expression through his eyes.

After a moment of silence, Ji Xun said: "For this expedition, Wan Yanlin replaced all the followers around him with his cronies who were born and died with him in Tianlan Nation. It is not easy to find out the news about him. I am worried about which city he will attack, but I am afraid that the cooperating person behind him will use obscene means."

Ji Xun's words made both Shangguanpei and Su Mianyue cautious. Although Shangguanpei knew that the delivery of food and grass must have something to do with Wanyanlin's daring to go to war, he didn't know about Wanyanlin's cooperation with others.

Seeing Shangguan, Su Mianyue asked herself with her eyes and then explained something. Shangguan was silent for a moment and asked: "I think it has something to do with Yulin Kingdom. The country they want to invade most is Tianlan Kingdom. If you support Wanyan The battle between Lin and Tianlan Country will hurt both, and Yulin Country will benefit the most."

Ji Xun and Su Mianyue nodded. They also guessed this point on the road, but they didn't make a conclusion without real evidence.

Regardless of whether Yulin Country or other countries cooperate with Hengyuan Country, it is not a good thing for Tianlan Country, and even the next one will affect Ji Xun's plan.

"I once asked my brothers in the rivers and lakes to investigate the Yulin Kingdom. All I know is that a coup took place in the Yulin Kingdom. Wealthy, the current monarch of Yulin Kingdom only cares about cultivating the art of immortality, and now the crown prince controls the government and focuses on the military." After hesitating for a moment, Ji Xun informed Shangguan Pei of the news he had secretly obtained, and it was the first time he mentioned it in front of Su Mianyue. , "Not only that, this seventh prince has just taken control of the government, and he has established friendship with the rulers of many small countries around him, and even faintly has the intention of becoming king."

"Is that Gu Changqing the son of the Seventh Prince?" Su Mianyue raised her eyebrows and asked.

"Yes." Ji Xun nodded, glanced at Su Mianyue, but didn't say anything.

Su Mianyue understood and changed the subject: "A small country, even if the Seventh Prince has the ability to earn a lot of wealth, it will not be enough to make a group of small countries willing to be headed by Yulin Country. I am afraid that the Seventh Prince has been secretly operating for many years. The relationship network, just like Gu Qinglin back then, is actually his lackeys. But money alone is not enough to impress these powerful people to work for him. Didn’t Gu Qinglin collect money for the Yulin Kingdom back then?”

"These are unknown." Ji Xun shook his head, although he had some clues, it was inconvenient to tell them.

Shangguan Pei didn't bother to ask, after all, this was a matter of Yulin Kingdom, and it was normal for Ji Xun to know that it was ominous, he closed his eyes and meditated for a long time, but he didn't say a word.

Seeing this, Ji Xun and Su Mianyue bid farewell together and returned to the temporary residence. Su Mianyue closed the door of the room and sat and talked with Ji Xun.

"I once rescued a pair of sisters from the Yulin Kingdom. Later, they voluntarily pledged their allegiance to me and revealed that they were the daughters of the abolished prince. Now they are placed in a small town in the Tianlan Kingdom. They are always ready to return home to take revenge. But there are not many useful clues for me. It is your subordinate Si Jingjie who had a very good relationship with a woman named Mingzhu. This woman named Mingzhu is the concubine's daughter of the abolished prince, but her two elder sisters say she is an accomplice who killed the abolished prince, do you have anything to tell me?" Su Mianyue looked at Ji Xun with her chin in her hands, waiting He puzzled himself.
