After thanking Feng Yuan, Yuan Chengzhi did not stay here, and soon left with Wen Qingqing and the people of the Mountain Sect.

"Little Wangye, although this Yuan Chengzhi's martial arts are powerful, but he was born in the Huashan faction, he will inevitably defect to Li Zicheng, and he will be an enemy or friend in the future, why be so polite to him?"

Jiang Yingjie asked a little puzzled.

Feng Yuan smiled and didn't explain too much.

Now who would have thought that Li Zicheng, who is about to seize the world, would collapse in just a few months?

The current Huashan faction and Yuan Chengzhi are the enemies of the Ming Dynasty, but when the Qing soldiers enter the customs, they will become the enemies of the Qing soldiers.

......

Two days later, a piece of news quickly spread all over the world.

Yuan Chengzhi, a disciple of the Huashan faction, united with the bandits on the green forest road in Shandong, and actually defeated the Cao soldiers under the command of Ma Shiying, the governor of Fengyang, and also robbed more than two million taels of silver.

As soon as this news appeared, whether it was the Jianghu Martial Arts or the Ming Dynasty, it was like an earthquake. It caused the shock of countless people.

The difference is that the people in the martial arts were greatly admired by Yuan Chengzhi's move, and they couldn't wait to follow Yuan Chengzhi to attack the officers and soldiers that day.

And the Ming court, up to Emperor Chongzhen, down to the local governors, all gritted their teeth against the Huashan faction and Yuan Chengzhi. Resentment is hard to bear.

However, no matter which side of the people they were, they all remembered Yuan Chengzhi's name deeply.

Yuan Chengzhi's reputation spread all over the world, and he became a young man admired by countless people on the rivers and lakes, and a hateful traitor in the eyes of the Ming government.

In the Ming Dynasty, the tax income for a whole year was more than 10 million taels of silver, and there was basically not much left after the salary of the Jiubian Military Town and the salary of the hundreds of military officials in the world.

Especially in these days, the world is in turmoil, there are wars everywhere, and there are people everywhere, and they can't collect taxes if they want to.

More than two million taels of silver were used to save the lives of the Ming Jingshi.

When the silver was snatched away, the situation in Jingshi immediately deteriorated.

The officials of the various ministries in the capital who could have been able to float or deduct a sum of silver, after the opportunity to make money was lost, they were all resentful in their hearts, and they wished that the officers and soldiers would directly suppress the Huashan faction and break Yuan Chengzhi's body into thousands of pieces.

Of course, there are also some officials with good vision and wisdom who can feel that this matter will not be as simple as it seems.

A mere reckless, with a group of bandits, can defeat thousands of elite soldiers?

If you think about it a little deeper, you can feel that something is wrong.

Lu Zhenfei, the right capital of Huai'an Mansion and the governor of Caoyun, is a clear-eyed person with a skeptical attitude.

He quickly turned his suspicious gaze to Feng Yuan, who occupied Pizhou and kept moving.

Pizhou is an important place in the northwest of Huai'an Prefecture, adjacent to Xuzhou, and is an important node of the Grand Canal, which used to be very prosperous here.

In recent years, because of the continuous flow of homeless people and bandits, as well as the passage of thieves and soldiers, a prosperous town has become desolate.

That is, Lu Zhenfei had just arrived in Huai'an, otherwise he would have sent someone to take over the defense of Pizhou.

As a result, before Lu Zhenfei could act, Pizhou was occupied by Feng Yuan and his people. And after the occupation, there were frequent actions, whether it was cleaning up the military fields and training troops in the tuntian, they all showed enough ambition.

Near Yanzhou Mansion, there are forces that have the strength to swallow thousands of officers and soldiers and Caoyin, and the only one who occupies Pizhou is Zhu Lunsheng.

After Lu Zhenfei became suspicious in his heart, he immediately contacted the spies planted in Pizhou to find out Feng Yuan's movements during this time.

If it is determined that it is really the Pizhou army's hand, he will definitely not ignore it.

A few days later.

In the official office of Pizhou, Tan Youdao and Jiao Gongli were reporting the situation, and this time they bought more than 100,000 stones of grain and grass from Jiangnan, as well as a large number of materials, and immediately filled the empty warehouse in Pizhou.

With so many supplies, Tan Youdao and a group of scribes were busy for two or three days before they finished counting the things.

Just after counting the materials they bought, everyone thought they could breathe a sigh of relief, but they never thought that Feng Yuan and Jiang Yingjie had snatched thousands of people and horses and more than two million taels of silver.

"Little prince, although more than two million taels of silver can bring us great benefits, it is also easy to attract the hostility of the officials and soldiers, in the opinion of the villain, even if the crime of robbing Cao Yin is pushed to Yuan Chengzhi, it will not be hidden from someone with a heart!"

After reporting the inventory of materials, Tan Youdao said.

"Yes, in recent days, there have been a lot of spies in Pizhou City, including those from Jinling, the Huaiyang Governor's Mansion, and the Fengyang Governor's Mansion...... are all inquiring about the situation in Pizhou!"

In the hall, Zhao Heng also had a trace of worry on his face, and said loudly.

After Zhao Heng became the owner of the Evil Tiger Valley, his reputation became louder and louder in Shandong.

According to Feng Yuan's instructions, he began to send many spies to Huai'an, and together with the people of the Golden Dragon Gang, he set up an embroidered guard specializing in intelligence.

Compared with the famous brocade guard, the newly established embroidery guard is still very immature.

But with the two big sitting tigers of the Evil Tiger Ditch and the Golden Dragon Gang, it is not too difficult to find out the information, especially in Pizhou, the base camp of Fengyuan, and the operation is not leaky.

After the spies from other places come in, they will be discovered by the embroidered guards in less than half a day.

As long as Feng Yuan gives an order, all the spies will be swept away.

"Hehe, don't worry, now that the north is in chaos, Li Zicheng has already sworn in Shaanxi, or it won't be long before he will send troops to attack the capital, who will have the time to take care of us!"

At this time, it was close to the end of the year, after Sun Chuanting died in battle, Li Zicheng did not take much effort to take Shaanxi, the founding of the country Dashun, and in another month or two, he would go east to Beijing.

Emperor Chongzhen is afraid that he will not have the time to pay attention to the robbery of Caoyin.

If Feng Yuan's plan succeeds, even if Emperor Chongzhen knows about this in the future, he will treat it as if it has not happened.

Feng Yuan asked Yuan Chengzhi to resist the black cauldron, that is, to make a time difference, so that he could divert the attention of Emperor Chongzhen and spend this time.

When Feng Yuan said this, everyone in the hall was shocked.

"The thieves want to attack the Jingshi, this is to destroy the Ming Dynasty!"

Tan Youdao's face was a little complicated, as a scholar, he naturally knew that after Li Zicheng founded the country and became the emperor, he would inevitably attack the capital and destroy the Ming Dynasty.

But at this time, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, the Ming Dynasty was founded for more than two hundred years, and the mark in everyone's hearts was not so easy to eliminate.

And Jiao Gongli, Zhao Heng and others didn't have so many feelings, they sighed in their hearts at most, Li Zicheng This is the ultimate dream of countless years of green forest heroes.

"Little prince, I think that Lu Zhenfei, the governor of Caoyun, is not a good person, and Ma Shiying, as long as the two of them get the news, even if there is no emperor's holy decree, they will send troops to deal with us!"

After Tan Youdao calmed down, he continued to remind.
