Chapter 616: The Hidden Disaster of Crossing the River Naked
The matter of fishing for gold scraps is the previous information Shangguan reported. The general story is that last summer, someone found gold scraps in the Xiangjiang River. From Lingzhou upwards, there were about 100,000 refugees. If the crucian carp crossed the river,
, in order to catch gold scraps, he crossed the river naked and went up Cangzhou.
Later, it was discovered that the instigator was a giant businessman from Chuzhou. Not long after, all the giant businessmen from Chuzhou were killed and almost wiped out.
But no one could have imagined that Fan Gu and Wang Yun were actually related to this matter.
"You two, please elaborate." Jia Zhou clasped his fists and spoke seriously. His sense of conspiracy made him suddenly feel that this matter was far from that simple.
"Six heroes, bring us another pot of hot tea." Xu Mu shouted and pricked up his ears. This method was obviously done by someone with good intentions.
"King of Shu, this is the military advisor." Wang Yun drank three cups of tea in a row before he slowly calmed down from his hiccups.
"That gold-breaking incident was originally a disaster and killed people." Wang Yun gritted his teeth, with tears in his eyes, "My distant uncle is also a figure. He is quite wealthy in Chuzhou and has many people.
With three thousand private soldiers, even when the king of Lingzhou attacked Chu, he did not dare to embarrass himself."
"That day when I went out at night, I saw a master climb into the courtyard wall and go to my uncle's house. The next day... my uncle's concubine died in the well for no reason."
"She heard something she shouldn't have heard." Jia Zhou sighed.
"Not long after, my uncle took control of the gold scraps."
"It's Zuo Shiren, right?" Xu Mu frowned, "What is he going to do? With his protective temperament, it is unlikely that he will massacre a big family."
"No, it's Cangzhou." Jia Zhou raised his head and his tone became serious, "It's not Zuo Shiren's method, it's Empress Su's method."
"I will sort it out, my lord. One hundred thousand refugees crossed the river naked. Then with the help of the Wang family of Chuzhou, they used the Wang family to come forward and used the gold scraps as a cover up to hide it from the world when they joined forces with the soldiers in Cangzhou.
My eyes entered Cangzhou."
Xu Mu looked shocked.
"Of course, it can't be 100,000. I estimate that there are at least 30,000 people, mixed in with the refugees looking for gold, and then taking the opportunity to enter Cangzhou."
"Wenlong, where did the troops come from?"
Jia Zhou smiled bitterly, "I don't know either. There are thirty states in the world. Queen Su's good tricks. If it weren't for the two old friends of the lord, I guess she would have secretly seduced tens of thousands of soldiers into Cangzhou without knowing it."
among.”
"My lord, crossing the river naked is just to hide from the sky. In this world, even if this disaster happens, no one will think that these so-called money-grabbing people are going to Cangzhou to join forces."
"I still don't know where these people come from. Zuo Shiren is not a fool. He must have kept a lot of eyes on Cangzhou's movements."
"That's why Empress Su played such a trick. As for the origin of the soldiers, let alone my lord, I can't figure it out. The whole country in the Central Plains is about to fight together. Most of the ordinary refugees recruited are old, weak, sick and disabled.
Not worth much use."
The refugees are young and strong. Whether it is Xu Mu or other places, judging from the current situation, they will find ways to gather them.
"Wenlong, you will send a letter to Bolie later and tell him about this matter."
"This is natural. I'm afraid there might be another move on the Cangzhou side."
In the palace, Fan Gu and Wang Yun, who were still sitting, obviously didn't understand. The two stared at each other, and they were afraid that Xu Mu would be angry, so they had to sit still and nod along from time to time.
"Here comes an old friend from somewhere! Could it be that he's here to treat me, Si Hu, to a drink?" At this moment, Si Hu walked in carelessly from the outside. When he saw it was Fan Gu and Wang Yun, he picked his nose and didn't even bother to say hello.
, turned around and walked out directly.
"Brother Tiger, we miss you so much!"
Fan Gu and Wang Yun ran over in a hurry, ran up to Si Hu, and each of them hugged one thigh.
"Si Hu, take two old friends for a ride. I'll help you with the money you spend."
"Brother Mu, when will you return to Shuzhou? I have the sacks ready."
Two days ago, Xu Mu heard that Si Hu specially found a few village women to sew a sack as big as a cowshed.
To be honest, Xu Mu regretted it a little because he felt that Si Hu might be able to carry it.
"It will take some time, don't worry, I will definitely give it to you as I promised you."
"Okay, I'll find someone to sew the sack bigger."
"Get out of here..."
After straightening his body, Xu Mu looked serious again and began to discuss with Jia Zhou.
"My lord, please be careful about the matter in Cangzhou. Besides, I have been counting the days, and Queen Su's son is about to be born."
Things in Liangzhou are not over yet. However, Demon Queen Su, who has been scheming, has started to make plans again. Fortunately, Yu Wen's Muyunzhou army has returned safely.
"After giving birth to a dragon son, if nothing unexpected happens, Yuan An will be killed."
"Su Demon Queen, please listen to the government behind the curtain."
Jia Zhou nodded, "The Daji state collapsed, and the princes all over the world would not obey the edict. But no matter what, the Yuan family is still the orthodoxy of the Central Plains. This kind of legitimate orthodoxy is controlled by traitors.
The disasters derived from it are the most terrifying."
Chang Silang didn't want to kill the emperor, and Zuo Shiren didn't want to kill the emperor. At the time, Chen Changqing, even though he wanted to take the emperor as his lord and command the princes, he didn't dare to overstep his way and proclaim himself emperor.
For example, as soon as Fang Ru proclaimed himself emperor, he was immediately besieged.
Xu Mu can guarantee that if one day, the Yuan family is completely exterminated and the dynasty is completely destroyed, then there may be several emperors in the world.
To put it simply, even if Yuan An is a piece of shit, he is still a piece of shit from the Di family and is different.
"Wenlong, it's time to shift the focus of strategy to Cangzhou."
"That's exactly what I meant." Jia Zhou nodded, "If possible, I will still say the same thing. I hope that my lord will not be the first person to kill the emperor."
"Wenlong, I'll try my best. Should I finish the matter in Liangzhou earlier? Then, it's time to return to Shu."
For the Silk Road, Xu Mu still had to draw up a plan. He would find a way to send out a road exploration army, recruit new guides, and first draw a complete route and map.
Under the surface, there seems to be nothing going on in the northwest states today. Xu Mu just hopes that nothing will be messed up and something will suddenly happen again.
"My lord, King Yu Dang sent a scout, saying that at the outpost outside Liangzhou, there is a cavalry group claiming to be from the Great Lun Kingdom of the Western Regions. They want to enter Liangzhou and take over Zhaowu County according to the original agreement of the King of Liangzhou."
Yin Liuxia's voice suddenly echoed in the Liangzhou Palace.
"I said..." Xu Mu rubbed his forehead. Jia Zhou, who was next to him, also sighed.
"Six heroes, tell the scout of the Yudang tribe and ask him to go back and tell Yudang Xiong that anyone who mentions taking over Zhaowu County will be treated as an enemy. If he fights, the entire Western Shu will support him!"
