Chapter 92 The Wind Rises

"Aki hunting is ahead of schedule?"

In Zhang family's secret room, Zhang Kang was slightly surprised after reading the secret letter Tuoba Lie threw on the table. ReadМ

Tuoba Lie drank tea leisurely and said calmly: "It's not about that trade. Now both the King of Yan and Yanguan have stepped up patrols at the border, and the merchants have become less courageous. This makes the people on the grassland this year The supplies are much less than in previous years, and the longer King Yan takes to prepare, the more disadvantageous it will be for us. "

Zhang Kang nodded.

Indeed, what happened last time not only caused losses to the Yuan family and Beidi, but other businessmen were also frightened.

The most important thing is that this season used to be the most frequent time for trade between the Yuan family and Beidi.

However, fearing that the King of Yan would seize the opportunity, the Yuan family had to suspend private trade.

"Well, King Yan is becoming more and more conspicuous now, and now Emperor Dasong allows him to expand his army. If this continues, he will be in trouble." Zhang Kang's eyes narrowed, "Now, all the dead soldiers have been killed. Once we enter the city, as soon as the armies of the nine kings arrive, they will be able to cooperate with each other and open the city gate."

When Tuoba Lie heard this, he felt happy.

Originally, he had everything going smoothly in Yanzhou, but everything was disrupted when this King of Yan appeared.

But this Qiu Shou, as long as he kills King Yan, Yanzhou will return to his control again.

At that time, you can continue to the next step and pave the way for Beidi to go south.

"Zhang Kang, we must not make any mistakes this time, otherwise my life will not be saved, and you will not survive either." Tuoba Lie's tone suddenly rose.

Zhang Kang shuddered, gritted his teeth and said: "I will definitely not make another mistake this time. The Nine Kings and the Yuan family all want King Yan to die, so he must die if King Yan does not die.

"That's good." Tuoba Lie put down his teacup, "When King Yan dies, the next step will be the Yuan family, you know."

Zhang Kang rolled his eyes.

This was part of his and Tuoba Lie's plan.

The first step is to control the Zhang family and Yan County.

This is equivalent to planting a nail in Yanzhou, which is the most basic.

The second step is to instigate rebellion against the Yuan family.

This plan is bold and risky.

However, Beidi will benefit the most if it succeeds.

After all, once the Yuan family surrenders to Beidi, the Yuan family's military strength can completely cooperate with Beidi to capture Yanguan.

At that time, the Beidi army will be able to march straight in, and the great Song Dynasty will be at their fingertips.

"As soon as King Yan dies, I will find an opportunity to test Yuan Li." Zhang Kang said.

Tuoba Lie nodded with satisfaction, "Also, what are you doing in the countryside recently?"

When mentioning this, Zhang Kang also looked confused.

The current situation in Yan County is very special. The wealthy family sold their land to Queen Yan.

The King of Yan controlled most of the land in Yan County.

These people in the land of King Yan are the citizens of King Yan, but they are also tenants of King Yan.

Therefore, Prince Yan's Mansion does not need to issue decrees through the government office to make these people do things.

Instead, he directly asked a government office in the palace, controlled by Liu Fu, to dispatch officials.

As a result, he had no idea what was going on in the countryside and only heard fragmentary information.

For example, messages like "dig holes to hide food".

And the people he sent out to inquire came back and said the same thing.

"They are digging holes to hide food," Zhang Kang said.

"Hiding food? Hahaha, they are indeed rats." Tuoba Lie laughed after hearing this, "Then it depends on how good they are at hiding it, or whether our iron hoof in Beidi is better."

…

Pumice Village.

Liu Fu and some officials were in front of the stove of a family.

The people of this household lifted the pot, revealing a deep tunnel underneath.

Lifting up the hem of his gown, Liu Fu and the officials descended the ladder into the tunnel.

He bent forward and walked forward for a while, arriving at a wide place.

This place is higher than the tunnel and is high enough for a person to stand.

There are also tables and chairs here.

Although I didn't get any armor or weapons from King Yan yesterday.

But he still had to do what he had to do.

"Master Wang Fu, the security guards are here." Feng Zheng led the security guards from Fushi Village over from another tunnel.

"Everyone, sit down. His Highness said that the weapons and armor will be delivered to you in a while. But His Highness said that from now on, you have to train in your free time and study how to use these tunnels to fight." Liu Fu said, " Tomorrow, His Highness will personally bring troops to fight with you."

"Ah, a fight?" Chief Youbao was startled.

"It's not a real fight, but they are just pretending to be Beidi people. Your Fushi Village is the first one, and they will go to other villages next." Liu Fu said with a smile.

He came here in person today because he didn't want to make King Yan laugh at the first village, so he asked in person.

When Fushi Village is ready, the security chiefs of other villages will be asked to come and take a look, so that it can be quickly promoted to the entire Yan County.

Thinking of something, his face suddenly became serious, "Also, the map of the tunnel must be kept secret, and you must also be more vigilant. This is the time of year when the enemy is most active, so be wary of people coming from outside the village."

After a pause, he emphasized his tone and said, "You must supervise each other. If anyone spreads the true purpose of the tunnel, I will definitely convict him."

Liu Fu has always been close to the people and very kind to the people.

Now that everyone saw Liu Fu being so solemn, their hearts trembled.

This is definitely not a joke.

"Yes, Master Wang Fu." everyone said.

Liu Fu nodded, "Don't blame me and His Highness for being cruel. If one of you makes a mistake, tens of thousands of people may be killed or injured. The Northern Di invades the south every year. How long can you hide? Now that His Highness the King of Yan has the courage, he wants to fight with the Northern Di. He frightens them and they dare not set foot in Yan County again."

The young and strong guards listened and nodded heavily.

"Please tell His Highness that we will never drag down the palace. Your Highness has allowed us to live a comfortable life, and everyone cherishes this life." Feng Zheng rolled up his sleeves, "Although I am old, I will never hesitate to fight the Northern Di."

Liu Fu looked relieved.

In the past, in Yan County, the Northern Di went hunting in autumn every year, and the nobles only cared about themselves, and the people were just a mess.

When the Northern Di came, the people could only flee for their lives.

But now it is different. Under the governance of the King of Yan, the people have been organized.

As the King of Yan said, a flock of sheep that are united will not fear any jackals, tigers or leopards.

This autumn hunting of the Northern Di people, they will not let the Northern Di people kill them as in previous years.

Spreading out the blueprint, Liu Fu discussed with the officials and the chiefs.

Plan how to fight, because the King of Yan will bring people here early tomorrow morning and suddenly attack Fushi Village.

After discussing until the evening, Liu Fu returned to the palace and reported the matter.

"Well, then I will see what they are like."

At the moment, the palace's personal army is fine, everything is going according to plan.

Only this village he is a little worried about, after all, it was he who proposed digging the tunnel.

If it doesn't work, then he will be scolded by the people.
