It has to be said that Yang Qian almost completely cut off the information about Goguryeo. Even the king only knew that Goguryeo was integrated into the Xia Kingdom, but did not know the specific details.
Even the population is only an approximate figure, let alone other vassal states.
When envoys from various countries came to Fuyan to attend the enthronement ceremony of Prince Rei, although the major vassal states did not take any special actions, what could be seen was that the supply of grain, grass, copper, iron, and salt was slowly tightening. .
In Yuntong County, in Lord Wu'an's residence, it was rumored that someone got so angry that he threw several jade cups.
Yuntong County.
A huge motorcade stopped at the city gate.
The guards came to the city gate with their identity documents and handed them to the county soldiers. It wasn't that they didn't want to jump in line, but there was no crack at all and the convoy couldn't get through at all.
Not long after, the guard came back.
"Sir, that's not possible. Those rough county soldiers didn't let us in at all. Instead, they made us line up and parked a large number of carriages outside the city."
"Is it done?"
"We are already queuing up. If all the carriages stay outside, they have to pay. Of course, they said that they can also pay for it on a monthly basis. I think it is more cost-effective to pay for it on a monthly basis..."
"I've got you covered, get out!"
"promise!"
A young man at the head spat hard with a sinister look in his eyes.
"Damn Yang Qian, he blocked the road outside a county town with his horse, which made us stay here."
"Sir, please be patient. After entering Mr. Wu An's territory, everything is weird."
Another well-dressed man shook his head, "Caravans, officials, petty officials, soldiers, tenant farmers, and common people all use one door to enter and exit, so that's all."
"But, there is a city that dares not to let our Wang Xie family's carriage enter. Are they crazy?"
"Brother Wang, you don't know something. All the noble families and aristocratic families who opposed him here have been exterminated, so we have to be on guard."
"Hmph, so what, something without a backer. This time we are sent by a serious court official. He dares to kill the court official. He wants to die."
"Hey, no matter what, my Xie family is safer here."
"Hmph, your Xie family is so powerful. It's really amazing that we can retreat completely unscathed here in Yuntong County. My Wang family has suffered heavy losses."
Just a few words, but the smell of gunpowder between the young masters was still strong.
After the Tianshou Division had continuously instigated the rebellion of the Wang and Xie slaves, even if Yang Gan paid money, he still caused trouble in the territory of the two powerful families.
If we say that the two families were as close as one family in the past, after being cheated on by Yang Qian, although there was a rift, in the end, the senior management were all related by marriage.
But after Yang Qian made such trouble for several years, the relationship between the two families was not as good as before, and even became vaguely hostile.
It is because the Wang family is always the unlucky one, and the Xie family is always the gainer.
But this is what the Wang family thinks.
The Xie family doesn't think so. In the past few years, the Xie family's children have died one after another, and the direct descendants have been attacked by various disasters for no apparent reason while they were away.
The elders of the Xie family finally discussed it and felt that this was probably the work of the Wang family.
Anyway, both families felt that they were at a disadvantage.
They were originally planning to have a big fight between the two families in the court, but unexpectedly, they learned that Lord Wu An actually destroyed Goguryeo.
Seeing that the atmosphere was dull, some officials laughed and changed the topic, "This time, if we can be promoted to an official position, our territory will be even larger in the future."
The prince surnamed Wang sneered, "Territory? Your layout is just like that."
"The land of Liaodong cannot be explained by just a territory. It is a kind of status. The family heritage is far more important than the territory."
Seeing everyone chatting happily, Young Master Xie calmed down and started talking.
"Liaodong is a fertile wilderness. There are not many records from other vassal states, but what we, Wang Xie, have recorded is no less than what your Majesty knows."
The Wang Xie family has inherited it for a long time, and they have enough information to look up. It is said that the land there is fertile and the water veins are smooth. It can be said to be a geomantic treasure land.
Young Master Wang was stunned and immediately said, "Liaodong is backed by Mount Buxian and is rich in products. If our people occupy such an important position, it will not only further increase the family's power, but also contain Lord Wu'an's strength."
Everyone nodded, and it had to be said that no one knew how strong Wu Anjun was now.
If it were someone else, whatever space they occupied and how many good things they had, whether it was to show off or intimidate, more or less would be exposed.
But Yang Qian is a good boy. No matter the good or the bad, he covers it all and doesn't expose any cracks. Many wealthy families are speculating on Wu Anjun's strength and almost spend a lot of money. But what's the result? Didn't even touch a fart.
As for the prediction of Wu Anjun's strength, the intelligence at hand of wealthy families is always more speculation than intelligence.
Thousands of miles away, they conquered a country that was not inferior to the vassal states of the Central Plains, but the Central Plains did not receive any news at all.
People from wealthy families almost can't sleep every time they think of such a situation. It's so terrifying.
This time they also came with a mission. In order to get a suitable position in Goguryeo, they were taking a big gamble, because if they didn't take the gamble, they were afraid that once Lord Wuan became powerful, it would be the end of the powerful family.
Judging from Lord Wu'an's treatment of Yuntong County, it can be seen that this man showed no mercy to wealthy families and frequently killed people and ransacked their homes.
The young man surnamed Wang said harshly.
"Younger Yang Gan, I must give him a good bleed this time, but he has made my Wang family fall into trouble many times."
"Tch, that's not because you are useless."
Mr. Xie's face was full of sarcasm.
"Ah~~~Good boy, our Wang family has lost so many people, tell me! Is it your Xie family who did it? I now suspect that your Xie family is colluding with Yang Qian."
Young Master Xie jumped up, his expression as ugly as if he had eaten a fly.
"Fart, our Xie family will conspire with Yang Gan? How is it possible? You are not so useless. Four to five hundred people can't kill one person. I even suspect that the people you recruited are ordinary tenant farmers."
"fart......."
"You! #￥@#Mom%......%￥%￥"
“Fuck%￥￥#￥#草&……%%”
Suddenly there was a lot of noise in the carriage.
At this moment, a group of soldiers ran over.
"Who is here making a noise for no reason?"
Young Master Wang was leaning on the edge of the carriage, his face full of defiance.
"Asshole, we are from the Wang family, I..."
The leading county soldier interrupted directly.
"What's the Wang family? You bastard, I don't care about you old Wang Lao Li. As long as there is no urgent military situation or Wu Anjun's approval, you have to wait in line for me."
"You can't make loud noises or disrupt order."
The young master of the Wang family was stunned for a moment, and then became furious.
"You bunch of border people, what qualifications do you have to talk to me, ah~~~~"
"I am a direct descendant of the Wang family. The people on the carriage behind are all dispatched officials. In the future, those people may all be county guards, county magistrates, and county lieutenants."
"These people are beyond the control of a mere county soldier."
The leading county soldier gradually tilted his head.
"Who do you think you are? Let alone foreign officials. Even if the Prime Minister comes in person, when you come to Yuntong County, you must abide by the rules of Yuntong County."
As he spoke, his eyes gradually became dangerous.
"If you don't comply, according to the rules of Yuntong County, those who make noise for no reason at the city gate will be given a warning. Those who refuse to change after repeated admonitions will either have to fight or be imprisoned for ten days. It's your choice."
"Hahahahaha."
Mr. Xie's son immediately laughed and patted Mr. Wang's shoulder, almost crying.
"It seems that the power of your Wang family is not enough."
Young Master Wang's face was so gloomy that water could drip from his face.
Prince Xie looked at the county soldiers and said with a smile, "I am the Xie family..."
"Thank you sister, I haven't heard of you. And no matter how awesome you are, you still have to follow our rules in Yuntong County. Don't make any mistakes when the time comes. I'll catch you and you can go find some connections. I’m telling you, it’s useless to look for anyone.”
The leading county soldier's face was full of impatience. He was already very patient. He hadn't seen anyone hanging like this for a long time.
Regardless of whether they are officials, petty officials, tenant farmers, common people, or merchants, when entering or leaving the county, they all behave in a safe manner, do not jump in line, and follow the procedures.
You must know that there are many tents placed at the gate of Yuntong County City. People with different identities have different inspection windows.
At this rate, the speed is very fast, and almost no one has any complaints.
Because Mr. Wu An indicated that there is a window specifically for the disabled or sick, which highlights humanistic care, so people who enter Yuntong County have few complaints and feel that this place is very advanced.
Hey, these two dung beetles suddenly appeared. They don't bite, but they are disgusting.
If it weren't for the fact that this group of people were both rich and noble, and had great backgrounds, the county soldiers would have surrounded them long ago.
"you you......."
The young master of the Xie family was so shocked that he almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
The leading county soldier waved his hand, and hundreds of county soldiers poured out from Chengmen in an instant.
These county soldiers were all wearing steel armor, and their hands were all weapons and strong bows and crossbows.
In just a few dozen seconds, this huge convoy was surrounded.
"Drink!"
A siege-type military formation was immediately deployed.
"One last warning, if you are still disrupting order outside, arrest you immediately and we will never tolerate it!"
When they saw that the county soldiers were about to take action, the young masters of the Wang and Xie families turned pale in an instant.
It's true that they came from a wealthy family, but they had never been on the battlefield. Seeing such elite county soldiers, they all felt numb.
It's like a person who plays chicken every day and knows all about firearms. When someone actually points a gun to his head one day, he is so scared that he pees out.
"Okay, okay, you are awesome, we are convinced, we will not disrupt the order anymore!"
The leading county soldier said calmly, "Well, that's pretty much it."
