Chapter 640 The mysterious woman
Although Wu Nian made a decision, he first captured Wang Zhongbi's Nanhai Mansion and then fought against the Mongols and Goguryeo.
Use foreign wars and plunder to solve the problem of internal food shortages.
But according to the news from Chen Jiagui, the situation is not good. The Meng Yuan people and the Goguryeo people seem to have reached some kind of tacit understanding and are working together to guard against him.
As long as he dared to attack Wang Zhongbi, the Meng Yuan people and Goguryeo people would dare to gather heavy troops and go south to attack his rear.
And the foundation laid by Xiong Wuwo was too solid, and Wang Zhongbi's army still had strong combat effectiveness.
Wu Nian was at a loss for a while.
It's funny to say that the Chu State's rule in Nanhai Mansion actually requires the protection of the Meng Yuan people. And the Meng Yuan people are obviously powerful enemies that invade Liaodong.
Although all the civil and military officials were present, no one answered Wu Nian for a while. Everyone's expressions were very solemn. They were really in a dilemma now, and they were trapped in the city of sorrow.
In the end, this meeting did not discuss a practical solution. We must send troops, and we cannot sit back and wait to die.
But how to send troops to Nanhai Mansion?
"Huh!!! It's really difficult. Now that Chunyuan has taken action, it will be difficult to resolve this matter without paying the price."
Wu Nian exhaled, shook his head slightly, and smiled bitterly.
Frontal combat is not impossible, but the casualties must be huge.
............
Huanglong Mansion, Anding County.
The drought also affected Huanglong Prefecture. The imperial court also distributed rice grains for disaster relief, but Chunyuan refused to release them, turning many Han people into refugees and attacking Yingqing Prefecture and Guangchuan Prefecture.
Now that it was almost done, he also opened a porridge factory outside the city to provide relief to the victims.
In the pavilion in the backyard of the palace.
Chunyuan and Qin Zhen were sitting face to face, holding tea cups and chatting, with very happy expressions and tones. There were four beautiful maidservants beside them.
"Master Qin, that's a really good plan. Now Wu Nian is in a state of despair. I don't think he can last long." Chunyuan put down the tea cup and said to Qin Zhen with a smile.
Really proud.
They fought against Wu Nian and never got any advantage. This time, it was so pleasant to see Wu Nian being overwhelmed by the refugees.
"Please, Your Majesty, please be patient. If you haven't completed the final blow, you have to be careful about Wu Nian's comeback." Qin Zhen was calmer and was not afraid of offending Chun Yuan, so he said with his hand.
"Master Qin is right. In this march and battle, the most fearful thing is to miss the mark." Chunyuan immediately turned serious and said to Qin Zhen, cupping his fists.
"Wu Nian will definitely counterattack if he can't hold on any longer. Wang Zhongbi, Goguryeo, and even Guangyang Prefecture and Huanglong Prefecture will become the targets of his attack."
"We must hold on."
Chunyuan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
"Yes."
Qin Zheng nodded heavily, with a smile on his face. As long as he maintained such vigilance, Wu Nian was just catching a turtle in a jar.
.........
Guangyang Mansion.
Yangwu County.
In the main hall of Wanhu Wanyanxian's mansion, Wanyanxian sat casually on the main seat, exuding a lazy atmosphere.
He was not an impetuous person to begin with, but he became agitated and unbearable because he fought against Wu Nian and was defeated continuously.
Now they have not fought with Wu Nian for a long time. He has adjusted his body and mind and regained his composure.
"Sun Tzu said it well in the Art of War. It is about attacking with troops and planning. Wu Nian occupies a favorable location and it is really a bad idea to fight head-on. This time, take advantage of his drought and lack of food to support him to death. What a clever plan."
"but."
Having said this, Wan Yanxian raised his head and looked at the ten captains sitting in front of him, his face became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "We are just one step away. You bastards, all cheer up.
"
"We must stop Wu Nian's dying counterattack. Defeat him once first, then defeat him again and again, and finally defeat him completely. Destroy him and occupy Liaodong."
"Yes." The captains responded loudly, stood up and said goodbye and left.
"Wu Nian. Wu Nian. This time, we won't fight without a single blow." Wan Yanxian sneered, feeling very relaxed and happy.
It's finally time to take revenge.
After sitting for a while, Wan Yanxian went to the study again. He wrote a letter and sent someone to send it to Goguryeo to ask the Goguryeo people to also strengthen their defenses.
Whether on land or at sea.
Wu Nian is a fierce tiger in Liaodong, and his counterattack on the verge of death will definitely be extremely violent.
If they were a little careless, Wu Nian would break through, occupy Nanhai Prefecture, invade Guangyang, Huanglong, and Goguryeo, and steal the food.
That would be a failure.
He would never allow it.
"Wu Nian, Wu Nian, you have today too." Wan Yanxian sneered again and looked up in the direction of Yingqing Mansion.
...........
As time goes by, the grain storage capacity of Yingqing Prefecture and Guangchuan Prefecture has dropped to a dangerous level.
For a time in the year of Wu, there was no third way except being enemies with Chu, Meng, Yuan, and Goguryeo.
Fortunately, during this period, Li Tianbao trained the navy well. There will definitely be problems in naval battles with the regular army, but there is no problem in cleaning up pirates, transporting troops, and landing in Goguryeo.
The leading military officers, thousands of households, hundreds of households, and soldiers were all ready for battle. For a time, a murderous atmosphere filled the entire Yingqing Mansion and Guangchuan Mansion.
But soon, things took a turn for the better.
In the port in the southern part of Jinghai County, there are very few merchants and very few docked ships. Some dock workers sat on the ground and sighed, unable to start work.
"What is that?!!!" At this moment, a dock worker shouted loudly.
All the dock workers looked up at the seaside, and then looked dumbfounded. They saw countless large ships suddenly appearing on the calm sea.
Every large ship has a deep draft, and you can tell at a glance that it is filled with cargo.
"Come on. There's work to do." The dock worker soon became happy and stood up quickly, getting ready to work.
But after the ship docked, the people on the ship did not allow the dock workers to approach. No matter how much the dock workers begged, they couldn't.
Until Li Tianbao and the prefect Lu Sheng led the army to the scene. Li Tianbao's army almost filled the entire port.
Li Tianbao and Lu Sheng personally boarded a large ship.
Kyogoku Yuki, who was dressed in a light yellow background and colorful kimono, stood on the deck, bowed to Lu Sheng and Li Tianbao and said: "Master Lu, Colonel Li, I have been sending you my regards for a long time. I hope you are well."
"Miss Kyogoku." Lu said. Li Tianbao's eyes kept glancing towards the cabin, eager to take a look. However, due to etiquette, he first greeted Kyogoku Yuki with fists in hand.
"Ms. Kyogoku. Thank you for your concern. We are all well."
After Lu Sheng finished speaking, he couldn't wait to say: "Miss Kyogoku, please forgive me for being rude. Miss Kyogoku sent someone to tell you that Miss Kyogoku transported six million kilograms of rice. Is this true?"
"It's true. The Kyogoku family has put in a lot of effort for this batch of rice. This batch of rice is the first batch, coming from Chu State. The second batch is still on the way, coming from Fuso."
Kyogoku Yuki's delicate face showed a smile, bowed and said.
Lu Sheng and Li Tianbao looked at each other and suddenly felt ecstatic. With these six million kilograms of grain, they could last for a long, long time. There was no need to rush into a war with the three parties.
Immediately, the two couldn't wait to enter the cabin to visit. When they saw the warehouse full of rice, their hearts dropped steadily.
Immediately, doubts arose in their hearts.
This Kyogoku Yuki, what is her background?
They were not surprised that the Kyogoku family could obtain rice from Fuso. But it was shocking that the Kyogoku family could obtain so much rice from Chu State.
Now the State of Chu has strictly sealed off its ports and prohibited grain from going out to sea.
Those who dare to commit crimes against the wind must either have great hands and eyes, or they may be barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes or death.
And if you are "barefooted", you obviously won't be able to get so much food.
And when Xiong Wuwo wanted to use Long Qie to deal with Wu Nian, Kyogoku Yukiri also got a vague information.
What is her real background? What is her purpose?
