On the second day, the second prince was at Bihu Qingting.
"A bunch of trash, people from a palace have disappeared, and you don't even know what happened!" Second Prince Song Hongwen almost roared.
"Second Prince, there is no news about the people we sent out yesterday. They must have been cleaned up by the other party!" A man in a blue shirt sitting next to him said shivering.
"Cleaned up?" The second prince frowned and realized that something was not right. If it was just an ordinary action, Song An would not have done it so cleanly. If this happened, something must have happened that he did not want others to know.
"Go and invite General Yu Chenghu!"
The man in green shirt was called back just as he was about to leave.
"Wait a minute, call the fourth prince and fifth princess over, and tell them that Song An... has probably left the city!" Although Song Hongwen didn't know what Song An wanted to do, but for such a big move, the other party would most likely be gone.
Within the city.
"Yes!" The man in green shirt nodded and hurriedly turned around and went out to do some work.
The second prince stared at the fish in the lake with a gloomy face. It was not like they had done nothing these days. In fact, they had been planning a conspiracy. However, they did not expect that before they could launch the conspiracy, Song An directly played a trick and disappeared.
, catching them off guard.
Let all their preparations during this period be in vain.
In the imperial study room of the imperial palace, Song Jiancheng also received the news.
"Song An left the palace through the south gate?" Song Jiancheng was also confused. What was Song An doing leaving the imperial capital at this time?
"Where have they gone? Are they looking for Bai Yuanzhou?"
"Back to the emperor, we still don't know that after the prince left from the south city gate, all the spies who were chasing him were cleared away, and none of them could send back the news. The prince's current whereabouts are a secret!" Sun Hai looked at him with a full face.
Helplessly, their prince is really good at playing.
"There are still some tricks. Just keep an eye on the Luoshui camp. No matter what he wants to do, he will always bring someone with him!" Song Jiancheng waved his hand, not very interested in this. Now there is one thing that makes him even more interested.
Painful thing - Dongcang is interested in a marriage and will send a delegation of envoys to Daqi in the near future to discuss the alliance.
Marriage and alliance have been a method since ancient times, but choosing it at this time, Song Jiancheng always felt that Dongcang did it deliberately.
…
After reuniting with Long Qie, Song An continued to lead his troops northward without stopping at all, heading straight for Cang County.
At the same time, a turmoil is breaking out in Cang County, which is located at the junction of Youzhou, Jizhou, and Yongzhou. It is not yet the autumn harvest time, but suddenly a large number of businessmen are pouring into Cang County to purchase Cang County's grain.
.
The food in Cang County has always been sold to the military as military rations. Several county magistrates around Cang County did not dare to mess around. However, the merchants all offered prices that were nearly half higher than those of the government. The common people and wealthy merchants
They were all excited and wanted to sell food to them.
Seeing that something was wrong, the magistrate of Cang County hurriedly asked the governor of Youzhou for help and asked what should be done now. However, all the messages he sent were met with silence and there was no response. Recently, Magistrate Liu Changchou of Cang County's hair has turned white!
Just because Cangxian County is so important, Youzhou left a thousand garrison here to ensure that Cangxian County's food and grass supply would not have problems. However, recently, the leader of the garrison disappeared inexplicably. The thousand-man garrison was leaderless and they didn't know what to do.
Deal with the current chaos.
The only restaurant in Cang County has recently been crowded with some businessmen who don't know where they came from. Hua Yin directly booked the entire restaurant. In a guest room at the back, there were three people discussing something unknown.
"Sir, the dam on the upper reaches of the Chunlan River has been repaired. If nothing can be done, we will directly order people to dig out the dam. Cang County and several surrounding counties will be flooded. Not to mention food, even people will be looked for.
Less than one person alive!" A thin man said sarcastically.
"Unless it is absolutely necessary, this food cannot be destroyed. If it is transported back to Beimang, it will be enough to feed the army!" The middle-aged fat man at the head shook his head, somewhat disapproving of the flooding of Cang County.
Seeing this, the thin man did not continue to persuade. After all, what he said was a last resort. But judging from the current situation, their action went very smoothly.
"Lao San, how are things going in Yongzhou?" The middle-aged man then looked at the third person present. If he wanted to take over Cangxian County, they alone might not be enough.
"Don't worry, brother, the governor of Yongzhou is already under our control. On the day of the autumn harvest in January, Yongzhou will come from the north and south with grain and grass, catching Youzhou off guard. When the Khan's army breaks through the three northern states,
Once we get grain and grass supplies from Yongzhou, we can directly send our troops southward. Will Jizhou be captured by then?" There was a sneer on the third person's face. They had been planning this for a long time.
It's a pity that Tuoba Hong's mission to occupy the three northern states failed, otherwise they would be more relaxed under the attack from the north and the south.
"Okay, please calm down the people of Haocang County and surrounding counties recently and don't let them cause trouble!" the middle-aged man said with a smile.
"Brother, Liu Chang must have discovered something is wrong. He has sent seven people to deliver letters recently, but I stopped them all." Xiaoxiao frowned and said worriedly.
"As long as he can't contact the outside world, Liu Chang can't stir up any trouble. How about the penetration of the garrison?" The middle-aged man was a little unconcerned. He really didn't take a small county magistrate seriously.
.
"The infiltration of the garrison has been completed. If there is an uprising, they will be the first to cause trouble!" the thin man sneered again.
"Okay, then continue to lurk. Wait until the autumn harvest day in one month, which is the day when my Beimang army will march south!" The middle-aged man's face was full of anticipation. They had been waiting for this day for too long.
At this time, a group of people from outside Cang County slowly walked towards the county. Along the way, Song An saw a large number of fertile fields planted with rice, which would be 90% harvested in a short time. And these rice were also used by the northern garrison.
Half a year's worth of food.
"My lord, this place is really fertile and fertile. If my lord wants to conquer the world in the future, this place must be in his hands." Guo Jia looked at the fertile fields outside the window and couldn't help but sigh.
"Well, the granary in the north is worthy of its name. It is really a treasure. It's no wonder that my second brother chose Youzhou. Controlling Youzhou is equivalent to holding Cang County in his hands, which is equivalent to controlling the entire
We have the north in our hands, it seems that my second brother also has expert guidance behind his back!" Song An couldn't help but sigh, those who have made it this far are definitely not fools.
But as he looked at it, Guo Jia's face showed a trace of sadness and a look of pity.
"Why does Fengxiao look worried?" Song An asked in confusion.
"Lord, Cang County is close to the Chunlan River. Although it is convenient for irrigation, if someone builds a dam on the upper reaches of the Chunlan River and releases the water southward, the flood will spread thousands of miles. The ten thousand acres of fertile farmland in Cang County may be destroyed overnight!"
