———— the following text————

In the early morning two days later, the Marquis of Luyang and Zhou, as well as Zhao Yin, Zhao Yu and Jingnu, the five of them had dinner together in the North House.

After using it up, the Marquis of Luyang said to Zhao Yin: "Yin'er, you will tell Mr. Ram later, today, my father and your mother will take you to Yuncheng to visit your grandfather." ”

"Grandfather?"

Of course, Zhao Yin remembered his grandfather, nodded when he heard the words, and had no objections, but asked curiously: "Is it just the three of us?" What about Brother? ”

Luyang County glanced at Zhao Yu, and did not elaborate, and said perfunctorily: "This time, Yu'er will not go." ”

The majesty of his father made Zhao Yin dare not ask more, and at the signal of his father, he went back to his house to clean up and salute.

Seeing this, Zhou asked Zhao Yu: "Yu'er, don't you really go to Yuncheng with your father and mother to visit your grandfather?" Your grandfather liked your brother. ”

Grandfather, popularly known as grandfather, according to the Luyang Township Marquis and Zhou's statement, Zhao Yu couldn't help but fantasize about the image of an old man who loves his grandson in his mind.

He shook his head with some regret: "Mother, next time." …… The child has some ideas in his heart that he wants to verify. ”

"Okay then...... Then you should be careful these days, Jingnu, and take care of the concubine. ”

Zhou nodded, and did not persuade again, obviously there were some things that the Marquis of Luyang had already greeted his wife.

"Yes, ma'am." Jingnu bowed her head and agreed.

After a while, the Luyang townsman walked out of the house with his son.

At this time, he said to his son: "This time for my father and your mother to go to Yuncheng, you may need to stay for a few days, the affairs of the house, then Zhang Chun and Cao Ju will take care of it, if you have any needs, you can find the two of them, I will take care of the two of them before leaving." …… Remember, treat both of them as uncles, and don't be rude and offensive. ”

"Dad, don't worry." Zhao Yu said with a smile.

The Luyang townsman looked at it meaningfully, nodded, and didn't say anything more.

The night before yesterday, on the way back to Luyang, Zhao Yu's simple words made the Luyang townspeople quite surprised.

Even he didn't expect that his second son would be bold enough to deal with Wang Shangde.

As the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, although Wang Shangde is not a king, but he is also a general with more than 100,000 or 200,000 troops, his power is much greater than that of the Ruyang Marquis.

It is precisely for this reason that the Marquis of Luyang himself does not want to deal with Wang Shangde, and even avoids it.

But his son is so confident, he can't stop it, so he can only tell his son to be careful in everything and think twice.

After chatting for a while, Zhao Yu took Jingnu back to his room.

After the two rested for a while, Cao An, Zhang Ji, and Ma Cheng came to Zhao Yu's house one after another, and the three of them all roughly knew Zhao Yu's purpose, thinking that the group was going to do a big thing this time, and their interest was high.

After the three of them arrived, Zhao Yu summoned the three of them to the front and said his arrangement: "This time, Zhang Ji and Ma Cheng will go to Wancheng with me, Cao An, you stay in Luyang ......"

Hearing this, Cao An was stunned for a moment, and then his face showed a look of anxiety, and he hurriedly said, "Young master, how can you leave me behind?" I am ...... to you, young master."

He was really panicked, after all, he claimed to be Zhao Yu's closest servant, how could he let himself be pulled down?

Seeing that he was panicked, Zhao Yu pressed his hand and said, "I know, I know, wait until I finish speaking." …… I kept you in Luyang because I wanted you to do something. ”

Cao An was relieved and swore solemnly: "Young master, rest assured. …… But what is it? ”

Hearing this, the smile on Zhao Yu's face gradually retracted, looked around at Cao An, Zhang Ji, and Ma Cheng, and said in a low voice: "The day before yesterday, the Marquis of Ruyang and his party, the three of you were all present, I can't swallow this breath......"

Cao An, Zhang Ji, and Ma Cheng also tensed their faces when they heard this, after all, the day before yesterday, the three of them still have a belly fire when they think about it.

At this time, Zhao Yu turned his head to look at Cao An, lowered his voice and said: "Cao An, you go to Zheng Luo and ask them to instigate Rushui counties to cut off the matter of funding my Luyang, and strive to spread it all over Luyang." ”

Cao An suddenly understood, grinded his teeth and sneered: "Don't worry, young master, I promise to stink the reputation of the Ruyang Marquis Mansion, but it's just ...... Does that make sense? ”

Zhao Yu chuckled lightly and said: "Wang Shangde is preparing to build a military market, this is a profitable matter, it won't be long before the Rushui counties will also know, even the Marquis of Ruyang, and my Luyang is the gateway between Henan and Nanyang County, from Henan to Wancheng, the nearest road is from our Luyang...... But now that the two sides have torn their faces, he is unkind and unjust, so I will block his way first. …… Remember, be smart when you send the news, and tell the refugees that my father is trying to find another way to stabilize the refugees so that they don't end badly. Besides, if there is a caravan from the Rushui counties passing by at that time, there is no need to clash with them head-on, and the road surface will be dug for me, anyway, we are not building a canal, so use this as a reason! ”

"I understand, don't worry, young master, I will do it properly."

Cao An smiled, and with his appearance of sharp-beaked monkey gills, there was a vague illusion of a treacherous villain.

On the side, Zhang Ji hesitated and asked, "Second son, is this appropriate?" Liu Gong's side ......"

"Gong Liu won't care."

Zhao Yu shook his head and said: "The Marquis of Ruyang instigated the counties of Rushui to cut off the funding of my Luyang, and Duke Liu was also full of anger, and he couldn't wait to go to Ruyang in person to confront the father and son of the Marquis of Ruyang. …… Cao An, if Liu Gong sends someone to ask you, you will tell you the truth, I guess Liu Gong will not only not stop you, but will also secretly help you, using the voice of the people in Luyang to put pressure on Rushui County. Remember? ”

"I remember." Cao An nodded.

"Go ahead."

"Yes, young master."

At Zhao Yu's suggestion, Cao An left with a sigh of relief, and at this time, Zhao Yu also stood up and said to Jingnu, Zhang Ji, and Ma Cheng: "Let's also set off." …… Zhang Ji, is the carriage ready? ”

"Ready."

"So, what about the drinks I asked you two to prepare?"

"It's ready, too."

"Okay, let's go."

With Jingnu, Zhang Ji, and Ma Cheng, Zhao Yu came to the outside of the mansion.

However, when he looked outside the mansion, he was stunned, because there were two carriages parked outside the mansion, and there were five guards of the mansion standing by the carriage waiting.

Seeing Zhao Yu's inquiring gaze looking at him, Zhang Ji clenched his fists and said: "This is a long way to Wancheng, the second son trusts me and Ma Cheng, but the two of us always feel that it is really unsafe to have only the two of us as guards, so I called five brothers in the house to give me more protection." …… The second son is not strange. ”

"This Zhang Ji is a very subjective person......

Zhao Yu thought secretly in his heart.

His original intention, just him, Jingnu, plus Zhang Ji and Ma Cheng, the four of them went to Wancheng to see Wang Shangde, but Zhang Ji felt that this matter was inappropriate, so he called some people.

Although it is only a trivial matter, it can also be seen from this that Zhang Ji is not Cao An's subordinate who obeys his master's words, and this young guard has his own judgment.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with this, on the contrary, a person like Zhang Ji who has his own judgment will be the pillar of his township mansion in the future, just like his father Luyang Township's right-hand man - Wei Chang Zhang Chun and chief steward Cao Ju.

"Let's go."

Smiling and nodding at Zhang Ji, Zhao Yu took Jingnu to board the carriage.

The experience on the way, there is nothing worth recounting, and the several counties that passed through during the period, such as Pheasant County, are still half-dead atmosphere.

After traveling for two days, Zhao Yu and his party arrived in Wancheng.

When he arrived in the area of Wancheng, Zhao Yu saw that in the fields around Wancheng, there were countless soldiers turning the soil in the fields, as if they were preparing for spring plowing in the coming year.

A rough count shows that there are not thousands of people.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu nodded secretly.

As he said, Tuntian is the most crucial, and in contrast, the military market is just the icing on the cake.

If an army has mastered the tuntian and has enough food, it is quite terrible.

It's just that ordinary generals don't dare to do this, because it's taboo - the general who is only responsible for leading troops to fight actually has a stable channel to obtain money and food, what do you want to do?!

Only a general like Wang Shangde, who was born in a wealthy family, was powerful and powerful, and had a figure such as Taishi Wang Ying as the backstage in the court, dared to risk this kind of taboo.

Of course, this is just Zhao Yu's speculation, maybe Wang Shangde has already reported the matter of Tuntian and the military market to the imperial court at this moment, after all, there is an uncle of his clan in the court, Wang Ying, on the grounds of 'urgently needing to raise money and food to destroy the rebels', it may not be impossible to persuade the current Son of Heaven to allow this matter - after all, the treasury of the imperial court is currently empty, and it is better to allow him to raise money and food by himself than to send money and grain to Wang Shangde again and again.

Merely......

"If this is the case, then General Wang's power in Nanyang County in the future will be too terrifying, just like a 'small court'......

Zhao Yu secretly thought, weighing whether to have a good relationship with this General Wang.

Coming to the gate of Wancheng, Zhao Yu personally got out of the carriage and said to the soldiers guarding the city gate: "Several elder brothers, Zhao Yu, the second son of the Hou of Xialuyang Township, visited General Wang with my father and my county commander Liu Gong of Luyang County a few days ago. ”

Several soldiers guarding the city gate looked at each other.

After a while, one of them said suspiciously: "You wait and stay here, and I will report it." ”

"Thank you." Zhao Yu bowed his hand.

Soon, Wang Shangde, who lived in the city, learned about this and was a little puzzled.

He asked the soldier who came to report, "Is that kid alone?" His father Zhao Gongyu didn't come? Luyang's county commander Liu Wei didn't come either? ”

The soldier who came to report shook his head and said, "It seems that the kid is alone, with a young maid and some attendant guards. ”

"Just that kid?"

Wang Shangde stroked his beard, and a little surprise and curiosity flashed in his eyes.

"Go, bring him in."

"Yes!"
