It's nearly noon.
As the sun becomes more intense.
Meng Shaoping, the third lieutenant of the trapped camp and the commander of the Red Blood Guards, wanders outside Wang's camp all year round.
Following the footsteps of leader Wen Xin, he slowly walked into the study of the side hall of Chengyun Hall.
"The red-blooded guard Meng Shaoping, who is finally trapped in the camp, pays homage to the prince."
Meng Shaoping took two steps forward, then bowed deeply and bowed.
"Shaoping is exempt from courtesy."
"Give me a seat."
Xu Yi waved his hand slightly with a smile on his face, and then motioned to the leader Wenxin who was standing aside to give him a seat.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Meng Shaoping once again bowed his hands and thanked him.
Then the leader Ziwenxin took a chair from his hand.
However, he was not in a hurry to take his seat.
Instead, he faced Xu Yi again and bowed deeply.
Then he reported: "Your Majesty, the three groups of thieves who rebelled against the country and sought glory and brought disaster to the Yan land have all been brought to justice."
"The thief fought stubbornly in the wilderness for the first season, but was executed on the spot by the Red Blood Guards."
The words are over.
Meng Shaoping paused for a moment, then took out a thick account book from his arms.
"This is the thief's ill-gotten wealth. Please take a look at it."
Meng Shaoping held the thick account book level with his forehead with both hands, and then reported again.
"Thank you, Shaoping."
Xu Yi's smile grew stronger when he heard this.
at the same time.
Leader Wenxin stepped forward and took the account book from Meng Shaoping.
Then he quickly walked a few steps and presented it on Xu Yi's writing desk.
Xu Yi lowered his eyelids and glanced at the thick account book placed on the desk.
Then he looked at Meng Shaoping again and asked, "Where did Shaoping find Ji Yuye?"
As early as a few months ago, Meng Shaoping and the Scarlet Blood Guards almost dug three feet into the ground in Shanggu and Yuyang counties.
However, despite such an intensive search.
There was still no trace of Ji Yuye and the last group of thieves.
After searching to no avail, Meng Shaoping wrote a letter to Xu Yi.
Then he left Yandi with a group of Red Blood Guards to continue searching.
That's why.
The place where Ji Yuye subdued the law is quite important to Xu Yi.
"Go back to your lord."
"Ji Yuye went to the Huamanlou in the city to hide his law."
"Before that, my subordinate paid a lot of money to buy a turtle man from Huamanlou."
"Nagui Gong said that Ji Yuye has rarely gone out since he entered Huamanlou in late October."
"And every time I go out, I turn back in about two quarters of an hour."
"My subordinates followed the clues provided by Mr. Turtle and investigated in secret."
"Finally, three of Ji Yuye's subordinates were found in a residence five miles away from Huamanlou."
"After some severe torture, the remaining thieves were finally found."
"To prevent Ji Yuye from noticing the clues."
"That night, Mo Jiang organized his men and sneaked into Huamanlou."
"We want to arrest Ji Yuye and bring him to justice."
"However, Ji Yuye was too cautious."
"In desperation, the general had no choice but to lead his troops to attack."
"But because the resistance was too fierce, after four red-blooded guards were injured."
"The general had no choice but to order him to be shot."
Meng Shaoping paused for a moment, and then reported again: "Afterwards, Huamanlou will be searched."
"Wait until there are no more clues in the building."
"General Mo and others quickly evacuated Huamanlou before the government officials arrived."
"Except leaving ten people hiding in the dark to observe the effects."
"The rest followed the general and rushed to Xu Wucheng overnight."
"Finally in a barren mountain more than fifty miles east of Xu Wu City."
"Bring the rest to justice."
"Afterwards, after a lot of torture, we found out that the gang of thieves were outside Xu Wu City.
He intercepted and killed the soldiers in my camp. "
"The general will not dare to deal with it without authorization after learning about it."
"Therefore, all one hundred and thirty-three captured thieves were escorted to Juyang City to await the king's fate."
"We can arrive at the king's camp around noon tomorrow."
"Because the coffins of the three Paoze corpses need to be built, it may take three days to arrive."
The words are over.
There was silence in the study room of Chengyun Hall.
Xu Yi, who was sitting on the Taishi chair behind the desk, slowly closed his eyes.
I secretly murmured in my heart: "Time is also fate."
if?
There is no if.
Even if Meng Shaoping had killed all Ji Yuye and other thieves a month or two earlier, the four soldiers guarding Anqu, Li Changshan, Pei Jin, Guan Rongchang, and Bi Fujiang who died outside Xu Wu City, would still have died.
It comes down to it.
Even if there is no Ji Yuye, there will still be Zhao Yuye, Zhang Yuye and Ji Yuye.
"Ji Yuye arrived in Dangcheng in late October."
In the study room of the side hall of Chengyun Hall.
Xu Yi frowned slightly for a moment and murmured secretly in his heart.
The snowstorm in Liaodong started in mid-October.
By late October, the situation was getting worse.
At that time, the well-informed people in Youzhou should have received the news one after another.
Ji Yuye sneaked into Pingcheng at this time.
Is it to avoid the pursuit of Meng Shaoping and the Red Blood Guards?
Or do you have other plans?
It should be noted that Pingcheng of Daijun and Yancheng of Shanggu are only about eighty miles away from each other.
And at the junction of the two cities, there is a remnant of Yanshan Mountain that separates them.
He wanted to avoid the pursuit of Meng Shaoping and the Red Blood Guards.
Yanshan Yumai is far more hidden and safer than Pingcheng.
What's more, its hiding place is a place of never-ending fireworks with people coming and going.
Therefore.
It is basically certain that he was hiding in the flower-filled building in the city to plan something.
And what he planned was certainly not as simple as intercepting and killing five soldiers trapped in the camp.
Thinking about this.
A rather familiar figure gradually appeared in Xu Yi's mind.
"Xu Qi."
Xu Yi lowered his eyelids slightly and murmured secretly in his heart.
Use yourself to push others.
At that time, Ji Yuye needed to "plan a big plan" on the one hand, and on the other hand, he needed to avoid the pursuit of Meng Shaoping's Red Blood Guards.
Under such circumstances.
He would never take the risk of exposing himself for no reason and send people to intercept and kill Gong Quanshan and others outside Xu Wu City.
Even though he has a blood feud with Xu Yi.
As long as they have no gain or loss, they will not do this.
Therefore.
It is very likely that someone else forced Ji Yuye to intercept and kill Gong Quanshan and others at the risk of exposing himself.
And that person is most likely the person he "conspired" with.
The only person in Dai who had the motive to force Ji Yuye to intercept and kill the soldiers trapped in the camp was Dai Wang Xu Qi.
Thinking about this.
A chill that could chill both body and mind suddenly burst out from under Xu Yi's drooped eyelids.
"Xu Yong, Xu Qi, what are the goals of these two people?"
Xu Yi lowered his eyelids and thought secretly in his heart.
Although he didn't know what Xu Yong and Xu Qi were planning.
But based on his understanding of Xu Yong, what he planned must be aimed at him.
Nothing else.
If he does not die, his heart will be uneasy.
Of course.
Since Xu Yi became a vassal, he has quickly established a foothold in Yandi.
But everything he does is secretive and obscure.
And all kinds of actions are tenable in the Dazhou Dharma.
Therefore, no matter how difficult it is for Xu Yong to tolerate Xu Yi.
Based on legal principles, there was nothing he could do to stop Xu Yi.
Therefore, there was a "black glove" like Ji Yuye conspiring with Xu Qi.
Thinking about this.
Xu Yi gradually got a clear picture in his mind.
"Xialuo City."
Xu Yi's drooped eyelids instantly lifted.
"Meng Shaoping obeys the order!"
Xu Yi quickly stood up from the Grand Master's chair and immediately looked at Meng Shaoping not far in front of him.
"The general will obey your orders!"
Meng Shaoping's body trembled when he heard this, and then he quickly clasped his fists and saluted.
"From now on, send two hundred Red Heart Guards to secretly garrison the Xialuo City Workshop!"
Xu Yi ordered in a deep voice with a solemn expression.
"The general will obey your orders!"
Meng Shaoping's expression became serious, and then he clasped his fists and saluted again.
The words are over.
Xu Yi turned his head slightly and looked at the leader Wenxin who was standing one step away from Meng Shaoping and said solemnly: "Wenxin listens to the order."
Upon hearing this, the leader of Wenxin quickly clasped his fists and saluted: "Wenxin obeys the order!"
Xu Yi ordered in a deep voice: "With the order of King Gu! Go to the ordnance workshop! Adjust three hundred and twenty repeating crossbows, two hundred ten crossbows, and thirty thousand featherless arrows, and go to the Xialuo City workshop!"
"Three hundred and twenty consecutive crossbows and twenty thousand featherless arrows are handed over to the workshop guards."
"Two hundred and ten crossbows and ten thousand featherless arrows are given to the Red Blood Guards."
The words are over.
The leader of Wenxin quickly accepted the order: "Wenxin obeys the order!"
The figures of the leader to be asked, Meng Shaoping, both disappeared outside the Chengyun Hall.
Xu Yi just sat down on the Taishi chair again.
If Xu Yi's prediction is correct.
What Ji Yuye and Xu Qi planned was definitely related to the Luocheng workshop.
Nothing else.
The Xialuocheng workshop is one of Xu Yi’s economic lifelines.
Let’s not mention the reputation and hidden benefits that newer products such as briquettes and coal stoves can bring to Xu Yi.
A medicinal jade workshop alone is enough to make Xu Yong and Xu Qi jealous to the point of heartache.
The first batch of medicinal jade shipped to the capital Chang'an happened to arrive in Chang'an City at the end of September.
And because of the characteristics of medicinal jade and the sales strategy specified by Xu Yi.
As soon as the medicinal jade from Xialuo City arrived in Chang'an City, it became completely popular in Chang'an in just a few days.
Although Xu Yi put on various "disguises" for him.
For example, the medicinal jade comes from the Western Regions, the caravans from the Western Regions are specially found, the shop assistants are all from the Western Regions, etc.
This kind of disguise can deceive ordinary people or ordinary dignitaries.
But for the real powerful, this kind of "disguise" is really full of flaws.
but.
Notice.
There is an idiom in this world, which is called knowing well.
Therefore.
When medicinal jade became popular in Chang'an.
Xu Yong will definitely receive the news, and even directly receive medicinal jade ornaments from others.
Until then.
Xu Yong did not need to go to great lengths to learn the "ins and outs" of medicinal jade.
And because of Xu Yong's temperament.
He must not be able to tolerate Xu Yi holding such a cornucopia.
Therefore.
After following the clues, Xialuocheng Jade Workshop will inevitably become a thorn in his side and a thorn in his side.
Naturally, Xu Qi, the duplicitous king, also couldn't tolerate his neighbor holding a cornucopia and growing stronger step by step.
But nothing.
Xu Qi is cautious by nature.
Therefore, Ji Yuye and Daijun Dangcheng lived together for more than a month.
Think about it.
If it weren't for briquettes, coal stoves and other heating objects, the effect would be amazing.
If it weren't for Mr. Pan and others being intercepted and killed outside Liaodong County.
If it weren't for the information "revealed" by Xu Yan, King of Liao.
Perhaps Qi Xu would never make a final decision so quickly.
He also secretly set up a scheme to frame Xu Yan, the king of Liao, in order to stimulate the conflict between Xu Yi and Xu Yan.
Then sit on the mountain and watch the tiger head.
Such a "cautious" person.
All have one characteristic.
That is, before making a decision, you will definitely hesitate and hesitate.
After making a decision, such people often refuse to give up until they achieve their goals.
Therefore.
Now Ji Yuye has already surrendered.
But the crisis in Lower Luo City did not come to light.
On the contrary, it is very likely that it will become more and more serious as Ji Yuye commits suicide.
That's why.
Only then did Xu Yicai send two hundred Red Heart Guards to the Xialuo City Workshop to set up defenses secretly.
Before the world is completely in turmoil.
Two hundred red heart guards and three hundred soldiers guarding the camp.
In addition, there are two hundred ten-shot crossbows, three hundred twenty-shot crossbows and thirty thousand featherless arrows.
It is enough to deal with all incoming enemies.
...
...
In the study room of the side hall of Chengyun Hall.
Xu Yi shook his head slightly, as if to get rid of all the messy thoughts in his mind.
After counting the interest.
Xu Yi calmed down for a moment, then slowly opened the blood-stained letter that had been placed on the desk for a long time.
As the blood-stained letter slowly unfolds.
What happened to Song Yuanfu, Xu Qiancheng and others and Liaodong emerged one by one in Xu Yi's eyes.
It was roughly the same as what Xu Yi had guessed.
Song Yuanfu, Xu Qiancheng and others brought briquettes, coal stoves and other heating items to Liaodong County.
In an instant, there were waves of turbulence in the land of Liaodong.
Nothing else.
In fact, coal briquettes and coal stoves are the most lethal weapons, and they are extremely lethal to Liaodong families and powerful people.
A letter from the Song Dynasty and Yuan Dynasty stated that without the Yanzi Wang Banner, the Song Dynasty's merchant business would be unable to move forward in Liaodong County.
And it is very likely that he will be torn to pieces by the Liaodong family and powerful people, or even eaten alive.
later.
Song Yuanfu, Xu Qiancheng and others passively contacted several owners of Liaodong trading houses.
The two gradually discovered something unusual.
After noticing the abnormality, Song Yuanfu and Xu Qiancheng continued to sell briquettes, coal stoves and other heating items quietly.
On the other hand, the scouts guarding Anqu from the trapped camp were sent to secretly investigate the unusual things.
Shortly thereafter.
After synthesizing the scouts sent and what they saw and heard along the way.
Song Yuanfu finally came to a conclusion.
That is to say, there is a pair of huge black hands secretly controlling the snow disaster in Liaodong.
Moreover, in the entire Liaodong County, at least half of the businesses that hold large amounts of firewood, charcoal and other heating supplies are puppets of the mastermind behind the scenes.
And in the entire Liaodong County, there are no more than one person with this ability.
After Song Yuanfu, Xu Qiancheng and others noticed this.
He immediately wrote to Xu Yi to inform him.
So that they can be prepared and make early arrangements.
after all.
The "destructive power" of briquettes, coal stoves and other heating items in Liaodong is really astonishing.
That's why.
It was just now that Gong Quanshan and others were intercepted and killed.
After a while.
Xu Yi slowly put down the letter in his hand, and a sneer appeared on his lips.
"It's exactly what I thought."
Xu Yi murmured secretly in his heart, and then raised his head to look at where Liaodong was.
The letter submitted by Song Yuanfu undoubtedly further confirmed yesterday's speculation.
Those big hands that controlled the snow disaster in Liaodong were none other than Xu Yan, King of Liao.
But it's a pity.
Liao Wang Xu Yan never calculated that there would be anyone in this world who dared to disturb the situation.
And Xu Yi this time
There is no doubt that Xu Yan, the king of Liao, was completely offended.
but.
How could Xu Yi be afraid of offending Xu Yan?
If you are afraid.
It will not sell briquettes, coal and other heating items in Liaodong.
If you are afraid.
It will not allow people to continuously transport heating items to Liaodong, Liaoxi and other places.
And every caravan going to Liao land was given the king's flag with the word "Yan".
