In mid-May, counties that had completed tax collection and inventory work began to transport grain to Yunzhou County one after another.
In the Yunling Mountains between Shendu and Yunzhou County, there are busy grain transport teams coming and going on the road.
Whether it is Nanli County, Woye County, or the newly acquired Youer County.
All their food must pass through this road and be transported back to the capital of Yunzhou County.
This road is an important secret channel for Yunzhou County to deal with body poisons. No body poisoners are allowed to approach here, and all transportation work can only be done by Song people.
All poisonous people who dared to approach this passage in the Yunling Mountains shut their mouths forever.
Moreover, all the poisonous people in the towns surrounding this passage were cleared out and moved to other places.
Here, only Song people and naturalized Tatars are allowed to appear. Once a pregnant person appears, he will be executed on the spot by the patrolling sergeant!
There is only one rule here, and that is, poisonous people are prohibited from walking.
This is the consensus of all Song people.
No one would offend, and even if they saw the sound of a poisonous person nearby, they would take the initiative to report it.
Because for all the Song people in Nanli County, Woye County and Youer, this place is equivalent to their own escape route.
If one day in the future they have to evacuate from this fertile land, then this passage will undoubtedly be their only way to survive.
No one will block their own way of life, and the Song people here will consciously conceal things about the Song Dynasty and the past.
In order to avoid letting the poisonous person know the true background of himself and others.
The grain from the three counties was sent back to Yunzhou County one by one through this Yunling Passage.
The endless motorcade that can be seen at a glance is amazing, shocking and even gratifying.
As the saying goes, if you have food in your hands, you will not panic.
With this kind of food, Yunzhou County can truly develop smoothly.
…
Yunzhou County, Prince Yun's Mansion.
The breeze ruffled a pool of spring water.
In front of a pond in the back garden of the palace, Zhao Jun was slowly spreading fish food into the water.
Many golden and red carp in the pond gathered one after another, fighting for the fallen fish food in front of Zhao Jun.
"Your Majesty, there is news!"
Wang Huaien, who had just hurried back to the palace from outside, still had sweat on his forehead. The sweat beads were dripping down under the scorching sun, and he looked very embarrassed.
Zhao Jun waved his hand, and a maid immediately handed him a wet wipe.
Wang Huaien took the wet wipes at Zhao Jun's signal and wiped the sweat off his face. Feeling the slight refreshment brought by the wet wipes, he felt much better.
"Tell me about it..."
Zhao Jun was still feeding the fish carelessly. He never thought that he would have such a fish. As a senior fisherman, he was actually prohibited from fishing in his own home!
The pond in this mansion was originally filled with edible fish that he asked Feiyun Trading Company to send specially.
My greatest pleasure every day is to catch two fish with my own hands and serve them to the table. This is my greatest source of pleasure.
As a result, not long after they got married, the princess actually fished out all the edible fish in her pond, made fried fish nuggets and gave them to everyone in the house to taste a piece.
He divided it for a whole day, not to mention it tasted pretty good.
But...his fish!
All gone!
Then the prodigal woman asked the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce to make great efforts to bring back a bunch of ornamental fish and golden and red carp from the south into the pond.
Why is it so famous? As a prince, how can the fish raised in the palace be edible? It must be these beautiful ornamental fish to look grand and classy!
And what's even more disgusting is that she actually doesn't allow herself to fish!
Then a generation of fishermen retired from the world and became the cannibals in the palace who only know how to feed fish and show no affection.
After calming down his little heart which was still pounding due to trotting, Wang Huaien told the news he had received.
"According to the news coming back from the grassland, the Tatar Royal Court has been fighting several small battles with the Dayue clan since the Huns mediated the war with the Dayue clan for several months. , both sides have wins and losses, and no one has a clear advantage.
But the battle was not lost, but the Tatars' logistics was a little unable to hold on.
When there were no wars, if there was a good year, the food on the grassland would barely be enough for the Tatars to live on.
However, with the successive wars with the Yueshi in the past two years, the Tatars used a large amount of grain and grain reserves that had been stored for a long time.
Now that the war is over, the food in Tatars is insufficient. In addition, last year's White Disaster was so severe that many Tatar tribes suffered heavy losses. Now the entire Tatar grassland is in a food shortage crisis.
In order to solve the food shortage crisis, the Tatar royal court ignored the obstruction of the Huns and fought several battles with the Dayue clan after the beginning of spring. In the past, they could get enough food and grass from the Dayue clan, which was richer in the Western Regions.
But unfortunately, after several battles, the Tatars did not take advantage of much. Instead, they became even more short of food on the grasslands due to the war.
The current food reserves of the Tatars were no longer enough for them to continue fighting against the Dayue clan, so they stopped.
But the food shortage in the grasslands is real and must be solved.
So the Tatars turned their attention..."
Before Wang Huaien finished speaking, Zhao Jun took over and said in a calm tone:
"He turned his attention to us, to Yunzhou County.
This means that they had tried to attack us before, but were repelled by us, and now they come back to take revenge.
Let us kill the chicken and scare the monkeys to show to others and establish the prestige of the Tatars.
Secondly, they can obtain part of the supplement by plundering our Yunzhou County, and then attack the Liaoyun Pass to attack the Song Dynasty, and plunder the Song Dynasty to obtain more grain and grass to plunder the current food shortage problem of the Tatar tribe.
Yes or no? "
Wang Huaien nodded: "Yes!"
Zhao Jun sighed and threw all the fish food in his hands into the pond. The water in the pond suddenly boiled because of the fish food.
The fish in the pond are vying for the fish food in the pond, fearing that they will not be able to eat at night. However, many of them have eaten early, but they are still not satisfied and want to grab the food when they see it.
After clapping his hands and cleaning away the residue, Zhao Jun sighed and then asked:
"Has the situation at Liaoyun Pass been leaked?"
Wang Huaien was silent for a moment, then nodded heavily: "Yes!"
“Where did the Tatars get the information?”
Zhao Jun asked again.
Wang Huaien's face showed anger at first, and then he replied helplessly:
"The Tartars were so angry that they spent one hundred thousand taels of silver to learn all the information about Liaoyun Pass from the Ding family.
Even the number of troops on duty at the Liaoyun Pass, defense plans, weapons reserves, and food reserves were all leaked. "
After hearing this, Zhao Jun's eyes revealed that this was indeed the case, and then he sneered and said:
"As expected, this king also said so.
Our Yunzhou County is not the only place where the Tatar Grassland is connected to the Song Dynasty. They used to like to take advantage of the Xiongnu's march south to break through the border along the Hedong Corridor and enter Guanzhong County.
At that time, most of the energy of the defenders of Hedong County was tied up by the Huns, and they were unable to defend Guanzhong County. They had always been able to easily break through and plunder.
Why do you suddenly want to break through our Yunzhou County first, and then break through Liaobei County before entering the border? Isn't this taking off your pants and farting, multiple times in one fell swoop?
It is not in the interests of the Tatars to break through two levels in a row without breaking through the easy places.
In addition, the last time their Yunzhou County stopped their first wave of probing attacks, and also defeated any tribe, it was not an easy bone to chew on.
In urgent need of grabbing food, the Tatar royal court came this way because they were crazy.
It turns out that there was an insider who leaked all the information about Liaobei County!
In this way, according to their thinking, if the army presses on the border, our Yunzhou County will definitely be unable to resist, and finally we will take the Liaoyun Pass by relying on our understanding of the Liaoyun Pass.
In this way, the Tatars could invade the Song Dynasty without having to go all the way around to the Hedong Corridor.
Just enter directly from the nearest Yunzhou County. Not only is this easy, but you can also replenish everyone anytime and anywhere in these inhabited places.
All the way straight into the Song Dynasty.
Wouldn't this be much more comfortable? "
Zhao Jun became angrier and angrier as he spoke, with a sharp look that almost wanted to kill someone flashing in his eyes.
I wish I could kill these scourges and traitors of the Ding family right now!
Just for a mere 100,000 taels of silver, they actually ignored the millions of people in Yunzhou County and Liaodong County and sold supposedly confidential intelligence information to the Tatars!
What is the difference between the Ding family's behavior and the lives of millions of people in the two counties in exchange for benefits?
These damn worms deserve to be cut to pieces by a thousand cuts!
But it's too late to say anything now. The Tatars have already decided the direction of their attack.
It's just that the time hasn't been determined yet.
Now Yunzhou County can only be forced to prepare for the battle!
And all of this could have been avoided.
The source of everything was originally because of them, but now they have become even worse!
He even dares to sell military information to the enemy, which is simply audacious!
"Your Majesty, what should we do?"
Wang Huaien asked.
"Do you have any news about how many people the Tatars are planning to send to attack us this time?"
Zhao Jun asked.
Wang Huaien thought about it carefully, and finally shook his head and said:
"No! There is no news from the Tatar side about how many people they will send to invade our Yunzhou County."
"In other words, now we only know that the enemy is coming.
But when will they come and how many will come, we still know nothing? "
Wang Huaien nodded, but Zhao Jun sighed.
"Ask the secret guards to increase their investigation efforts, and also notify Li Yi and others to come to the conference hall to discuss matters.
Now, excluding those stationed in various counties, the number of soldiers in our Yunzhou County is already insufficient to allow them to challenge the Tatars.
It's time for the Guards to expand again! "
"Yes! I understand, little one!"
