On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, in Bei'an Fucheng, in the South Gate Wengcheng.
Liu Enfu's guards and more than 20 carts brought food, and a large number of troops and young men were waiting to receive the food.
These grains are supplied to the Beidi Dusi.
At this moment, Liu Enfu and his men lined up to the south, and Luo Lun stood in front of the line holding the edict in his hand.
Liu Shili and a group of his subordinates were kneeling on the ground listening to Luo Lun read out the edict.
"If you have the heart to be a minister, you should be loyal to the imperial court and obedient to the prince..."
"The Governor of Longyou has asked the royal family to send a teaching team. How can you, An Neng, remain indifferent?"
"I only hope that you will understand the general trend and follow the laws of nature, so that you can live up to Gu's kindness!"
"This edict...the eleventh day of the first month of the twenty-sixth year of Tai'an!"
After listening to the imperial edict and reading it, Liu Shili was not in a good mood.
Sure enough, the food in Prince Yong's Mansion was not free, and Prince Yong now began to reach out to the military power.
Prince Yong's Mansion sent a training team to Longyou Dusi. The training is now in full swing in the city, and the news has been passed back by the scouts.
While Liu Shili was thinking, he heard Luo Lun remind him: "Liu Du, please accept the imperial edict!"
"Um...exactly, exactly!"
Liu Shili said a few words, then stood up from the ground and respectfully took the edict into his hands.
Before Luo Lun could continue speaking, Liu Shili said, "Master Luo, you can unload the truck now!"
Without waiting for Luo Lun to answer, Liu Shili just told the left and right: "Unload the truck!"
The soldiers who had been waiting for a long time all rushed up to the truck and carried the food down from the car bag by bag.
"Mr. Luo, the young men and several thousand families who went south with you are waiting inside the city gate. After unloading the grain truck, you can take them away!"
"By the way, I still have something to do at the Yamen, so I won't stay with you any longer!"
After talking a lot, Liu Shili laughed, and then left with the others.
The scene was busy, but Luo Lun's face turned gloomy.
At this time, Liu Enfu walked to Luo Lun's side and whispered: "Master Luo, I'm afraid this person will be difficult to surrender!"
"We are transporting food here, but he is acting like a guard against thieves. Look at the entire Wengcheng. He has sent thousands of people here. Do we need so many people to transport food?"
Liu Enfu didn't say these words, Luo Lun felt the same as Ming Jing
Luo Lun said calmly: "It's hard to surrender... After some time, when the soldiers and civilians accept His Highness' kindness, I'm afraid he won't be able to make mistakes!"
The cannibalization of the Northern Capital was carried out both overtly and covertly at the same time.
Luo Lun was in the light and Zhang Guangshi was in the dark. The two cooperated with each other and the errand went smoothly.
Among the soldiers and civilians under Beidi's rule, news about Longyou was spreading, which would invisibly weaken Liu Shili's rule.
The longer the delay is, the more disadvantageous it will be to Liu Shili. After all, the food is in the hands of the palace. This is a complete conspiracy.
In fact, the original purpose of negotiating with the Northern Capital Division was just to stabilize them and prevent them from joining forces with the Forbidden Army.
Now it seems that this basic purpose has been achieved.
However, the real situation is that people's hearts float like water, Liu Shili also has other ideas, and the two parties are actually scheming against each other.
When Liu Shili entered the Yamen, he saw Wang Chengan waiting in the hall.
Although he conspired with the Forbidden Army, Liu Shili obviously did not want to be discovered, and Wang Chengan's appearance here made him very unhappy.
"What's the matter?" Liu Shili asked coldly.
"Sir...someone wants to see you!"
…………
In the dead of night, at a house on the east side of Beidi Dusi, several knights stopped outside the gate.
"Who?" the guard yelled.
"Guest from the East!"
Upon hearing this, the guard opened the courtyard door without asking any further questions.
Only one of the knights outside the courtyard entered, and the others were waiting outside, all on guard with their swords drawn.
After entering the courtyard, the man took off the bamboo hat from his head. This man turned out to be Zhu Jihong, the commander of the Xiaowu Left Guard.
At this moment, Liu Shili stood at the door and said softly: "I didn't expect that you would come here in person!"
Zhu Jihong walked up the steps, stopped when he was three steps away from Liu Shili, and said, "Since I'm here, I won't talk nonsense with you!"
After a few breaths of silence, Liu Shili stepped aside and said, "Please!"
Zhu Jihong walked directly into the main hall without being polite.
"I won't say any more nonsense. Lao Xu asked me to come here just to ask you one last time whether you want to start a fight together!"
Zhu Jihong said in a serious tone: "Now that the Yong Army troops are advancing, many of the monsters on the north side of Pingshan Mansion have been killed by them. If we don't take action... we will have no chance to take action!"
These days, the two sides have been talking back and forth, but they have never set a time to start, and the negotiations have made no substantial progress at all!
"This..." Liu Shili hesitated.
Thinking of the contents of King Yong's edict today and the rumors circulating in Junzhong City, Liu Shili knew that Zhu Jihong was right. If he didn't take action, he might not have a chance.
But this was a matter of life and death after all, and it was difficult for him to make a decision for a while.
Zhu Jihong said coldly: "Others have a way out... but you don't. The matter of King Xijing's family is just a knife on your neck!"
These words made Liu Shili's heart ache. This was the thing he wanted to cover up the most.
In the autumn of the 24th year of Tai'an, in order to steal food to survive, he targeted the wealthy King of Xijing in the city, and sent troops to massacre hundreds of people in the palace.
Other things may be forgiven, but the murder of the clan and prince is unavoidable under any circumstances.
"There is also news that a traitor named Zhu Jinzhang appeared in Longyou and killed everyone in the Xingyuan Prince's Palace... This man and his family members have all been killed by King Yong, and there is no one left alive!"
Zhu Jihong's words were like giving Liu Shili another blow, making a big hole in his heart.
Picking up the teacup on the side, Zhu Jihong said calmly: "Old Liu, your whole family is in Bei'an Mansion. If you don't think about yourself... I'm afraid you have to think about your family too!"
Next, there was dead silence in the room, and neither of the two people spoke.
After being quiet like this for a few minutes, Liu Shili slowly raised his head and said, "Then what do you think...what should we do?"
Zhu Jihong replied: "Raise your troops as soon as possible, attack Yong's army fiercely, and defeat them in one fell swoop!"
"When will the troops start?"
"The sooner the better. If I give you three days, can you mobilize an army of 30,000?"
There are 40,000 people in the Northern Capital Division. It is not easy to transfer 30,000 people, and it must be done within three days.
Seeing Liu Shili shaking his head, Zhu Jihong asked: "Twenty thousand...is that okay?"
Unless the main force of the Bei'an Prefecture is sent away, they will not be able to mobilize so many troops in three days... Liu Shili thought to himself.
The large amount of grain in Bei'an Prefecture required heavy military garrison. Liu Shili relied on this food to control his subordinates, so the main force of Bei'an Prefecture could not move lightly.
The Forbidden Army had also calculated this point, so they wanted to let him use the main force of Bei'an Mansion, so that Xu Longsheng would be more likely to succeed in the raid.
This is what Zhu Jihong said: "Twenty thousand people can never be less...We are risking our lives. Now is the time to look forward and backward?"
Seeing that Liu Shili still did not express his position, Zhu Jihong said again: "Don't delay any more, this is our only chance!"
Taking a deep breath, Liu Shili said solemnly: "Okay... twenty thousand is twenty thousand!"
"So good!"
"When will we do it?" Liu Shili asked.
Zhu Jihong replied: "On the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, you and I will attack Pingshan Fucheng together!"
"In three days, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, our army will transfer the main force to Hongxi County. You can also transfer troops one after another. You must cover up others' eyes!"
It takes three days to mobilize troops and fight the main force of Yong's army in Pingshan Prefecture. This is tantamount to a desperate move.
Zhu Jihong continued: "Don't worry, our cavalry will help you lure away the monsters during the attack, and you won't encounter too many obstacles!"
Liu Shili asked again: "When will we attack on the 17th?"
"How about noon on the 17th, when Yong Jun is eating?"
