Seeing this, the steward was startled, and then his face became full of fear.
"Your Majesty, forgive me, but it is the villain who deserves to die!"
After he slapped himself hard twice, the steward quickly explained the reason.
"I just saw that His Highness Prince Jin brought a hundred and twenty carts with him when he returned from this trip!"
"One hundred and twenty big cars are one hundred and twenty..."
As he said that, Xie Yaochang subconsciously felt something was wrong, and quickly asked: "How many personal guards and soldiers will King Jin bring with him when he returns from this trip?"
"Reporting to your Majesty, King Jin only has 600 personal guards during this trip!"
"Six hundred personal guards? But they took away a hundred and twenty carts..."
As an old fox, Xie Yaochang understood immediately and his expression changed drastically.
"Something is wrong!"
He yelled and ran outside, shouting at the same time.
"Quickly gather the children at home and the soldiers in the city, and follow me to intercept King Jin!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The steward of the Xie family responded hurriedly and ran to one side.
In less than a moment, a large number of Xie family guards and disciples ran out in a hurry and followed Xie Yaochang outside.
However, even when they arrived at the city gate, they still didn’t see King Jin’s motorcade!
Standing on the city wall, Xie Yaochang and others could barely see the thin black line in the distance.
"Prince Jin runs so fast!"
A member of the Xie family sighed with emotion.
Xie Yaochang, on the other hand, had a gloomy face, staring into the distance without saying a word.
At this time, all the Xie family members realized something was wrong.
"Master, what happened?"
Xie Yaochang let out a long breath and turned to look at the steward on the side.
"Can you please calculate what exactly King Jin took away?"
"Reporting to your Majesty, 90% of the gold, silver and jewelry in Tuyuhun Palace were taken away. 80% of the gold, silver and jewelry from more than 20 powerful and wealthy merchants in the city were taken away. In addition, the property in the shops in the city was also taken away.
Take away 70% of them!"
"What a ruthless King Jin..."
Hearing this, Xie Yaochang couldn't help but his vision went dark. He quickly held on to the city wall and looked at the Jin King's motorcade that was already somewhat invisible in the distance. His eyes were full of tears!
On the side, after a group of Xie family disciples were stunned for a while, their faces were full of resentment and their eyes were red.
Logically speaking, these are the property of their Xie family!
"What a cunning King Jin!"
"Shameless!"
"Master, we will definitely report to His Majesty the shameless behavior of Prince Jin!"
"It's extremely hateful..."
After Xie Yaochang took a few slow breaths, he said angrily: "Okay, King Jin is your Majesty's younger brother, and he has made such great achievements. How can your Majesty punish King Jin for such a big thing?
Not to mention whether His Majesty will punish King Jin, even those aristocratic families will not blame King Jin for this little thing like me!
Well, King Jin only took away some property. At least the food in the city is still in the city. As long as the city and the people in the city are there, it won't take long for these properties to be earned back!"
"The master of the house is wise!"
After hearing this, all the Xie family disciples all recognized the reality and immediately complimented him.
…
The steward on the side looked anxious and hesitated to speak.
Xie Yaochang frowned slightly and asked, "Xie Wu, what else is there? Tell me all at once!"
"Your Majesty, it seems that the food in the city is only enough to last for more than one month!"
The steward named Xie Wu said cautiously.
"What?"
Xie Yaochang and the other Xie family disciples all changed their expressions again and stared at Xie Wu closely.
"Tell me, what's going on? How can the majestic capital of Tuyuhun have such a small amount of food reserves that it can't even survive the winter?"
"Reporting to your Majesty, I heard that after the Crown Prince and King Jin captured Fuqi City, they only left three months of food rations for the people in Fuqi City, and the rest of the food was taken back to the army!"
Xie Wu quickly reported the report.
Hearing this, Xie Yaochang almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood from his stomach. He shook his body and asked again hurriedly: "Where are the other cities?"
"Reporting to your Majesty, the entire city of Tuyuhun is like this!"
The deputy general of the Fuqi City garrison on the side said directly.
"What a ruthless King Jin!"
Xie Yaochang's whole body seemed to have been drained of strength, and he was weak.
Seeing this, the deputy general of the Fuqi City garrison curled his lips. The king, the prince and others led the army and traveled thousands of miles for you to attack such a large city and take away some of your belongings and food. Yet you still do this?
Stingy?
Sure enough, the king is right, these aristocratic families are all a group of misers, iron roosters, and they don’t plucking a dime!
However, thinking about the current situation of the army, I sighed helplessly in my heart and slightly arched my hand towards Xie Yaochang.
"Please also ask King Fuqi to raise food as soon as possible. Otherwise, if there is no military food, the defenders will evacuate back to Chang'an on their own."
"General Zhang, how could you do this..."
Hearing this, Xie Yaochang was startled and subconsciously looked at Lieutenant General Zhang Changfeng!
"King Fuqi, there is no food in the army. The general cannot wait here with his son and son to die.
Moreover, we are the border troops of the Tang Dynasty. We came here just to conquer Tuyuhun. Now Tuyuhun has surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. As for Tuyuhun Khan and a group of famous kings, they have long been escorted to Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty.
Unless His Majesty had an edict asking us to once again assist King Fuqi in guarding Fuqi City, we would have followed His Royal Highness King Jin back to the Tang Dynasty!"
Zhang Changfeng, the deputy general of Fuqi City, said with a serious expression.
"well!"
Xie Yaochang's face turned anxious.
"General Zhang, please don't worry. Although our Xie family in Zhao County is not a big family, we have a lot of food in our family. Our Xie family can still provide the food for these three cities!"
Zhang Changfeng's expression immediately relaxed and he cupped his hands towards Xie Yaochang.
"I also ask King Fuqi not to blame him. The general also needs to consider his brothers. I also ask King Fuqi to establish his own private army as soon as possible. I hope to withdraw to the Tang Dynasty as soon as possible!"
Xie Yaochang: "..."
Even these border troops don’t want to stay in Tuyuhun?
However, Xie Yaochang is from a large aristocratic family in Jiangnan, and Xie Yaochang is not someone who just stares at the gains and losses in front of him.
After looking at the distance in the direction of Datang, I felt heartbroken for a while.
Xie Yaochang calmed down his mind and no longer thought about the shameless and treacherous King Jin. Instead, he summoned a group of children from his family to quickly take charge of the government affairs of the entire Fuqi City, as well as the surrounding cities of Zhiguang and Xiling.
Afterwards, he quickly dispatched a group of disciples to the Tang Dynasty to buy food and at the same time transport food here from Chen County.
A few days later, there was an addition to the family motto of the Xie family in Chen County: future generations must be wary of King Jin!
As for Fuqi King Xie Yaochang, after straightening out the government affairs of Fuqi City, he left Fuqi to his descendants and returned directly to Chen County to start enjoying his luxurious life!
These are things for later and will not be mentioned for now.
