Chapter 613: Emperor Yang returns to the city
Emperor Yang of Sui was going back to Luoyang, and the news of the mobilization of the army was quickly spread, and the 30,000 Xiao cavalry guards who remained in the generals were ready, and at this time, a shocking plan was being prepared.
Xiao Mo and Li Mi did not explain the matter to Zhang Quancai in the end, and the situation continued to be tense, and at the same time, Xiao Mo introduced Zhang Zhongjian to Li Mi, and the three reached a consensus in the early stage.
The Xiao family's property was all sold to Zhang Zhongjian, and a large amount of money was obtained to run their plans.
"Your Majesty will leave Jiangling in half a month, what considerations does the head of the Xiao family have?" Li Mi asked.
"Of course there is, the time to do it is not now, if you send someone to attack the Xiao Cavalry Guard now, it is tantamount to killing yourself, I hope you can consider the overall situation."
Xiao Mo is good at planning and doing things, and he is also very stable, he can see that the other two seem to be prepared to do it in advance, but the 30,000 Xiao cavalry guards are all elite, not to mention that Emperor Yang of Sui has Tianbao General Yuwen Chengdu by his side, even if they pull out 50,000 people, it will not be good, and it is even easy to lead to defeat.
"Of course we know that now the financial resources of the three of us can pull out 50,000 soldiers and horses, as long as we occupy Jiangling, what can Your Majesty do now." Li Midao.
"Master Li, our purpose is to seek the world, occupying Jiangling is just a place to raise troops, if you manage local affairs as hard as Li De, even if there are many soldiers and horses, you will be trapped in a cage and unable to get out, but you can't be like him." Zhang Zhongjian reminded.
"What Brother Zhang said is that the governor of Youzhou occupies a side to specialize in business, if Brother Zhang is replaced to lead the soldiers and horses, I am afraid that most of the Sui country will be defeated in the past few years." Li Midao.
"Yes, with Zhong Jian's ability, there is no doubt that at present, our biggest opponent will be Li De of Youzhou, if we revolt, he will inevitably become an opponent, and it is not impossible to win the world with the vanguard soldiers and horses, I am afraid it will be very tricky at that time, and we must plan early." Xiao Milling.
The union of the three families was carried out in secret, but how could everything of the Xiao family escape the attention of Red Peony, Zhang Quancai never relaxed his vigilance.
He knew very well that the head of the Xiao family couldn't fully believe it after all, although the affairs of the Xiao family were going towards their good plan for half a month, but Li Mi didn't say anything about coming to the door.
If it weren't for the cat, how could it be deliberately concealed.
Red Peony has been staring at the Xiao family, and there are even secret agents lurking in the inner courtyard of the Xiao family, and the news of the secret agents has proved that the Xiao family is planning the general trend of the world.
Zhang Quancai sent the news directly to Li De through the general's intelligence network, which was an emergency plan after discovering important news.
"Xiao Mi, Li Mi, Zhang Zhongjian, what the power of the three families is going to do is really exciting." Li De said lightly after reading the letter.
"These three people are all ambitious, with the prestige of the Xiao family in Jiangling, the financial resources of the Zhang family and a calculating person like Li Mi, I'm afraid that Jiangling is going to be in chaos, do you think they will assassinate Emperor Yang of Sui?" Zhang Chuchen asked bluntly.
Li De shook his head, he was sure that the three families would never do such a self-defeating thing.
"I think their plan should be to wait for Emperor Yang of Sui to leave Jiangling and arrive in Luoyang, and then occupy Jiangling and develop power like Yang Xuangan and Lai Hu'er." Li Dedao.
"Why, wouldn't it be more advantageous to want to rebel and take down His Majesty directly." Zhang Chuchen wondered.
"They are not stupid, there are Xiao Cavalry Guards and Yuwen Chengdu, how many soldiers and horses do they need to be able to leave the emperor behind, and besides, even if the east uses soldiers and horses to leave people behind, have you ever thought about it?" Li De asked.
Zhang Chuchen really didn't think about it that much, she just thought about it and asked with the simplest thoughts.
"It turns out that there is a servant, and now there is a Laihuer to occupy Penglai, plus a Jiangling, the war in the world will start, how will we deal with Youzhou?" Zhang Chuchen asked suddenly.
Li De is very indifferent, when the world's major events are turbulent, Youzhou will inevitably be unable to leave things out of the way.
"Of course, it will continue to develop, if it really comes to that day, I believe that the sixteen states of Youji will usher in a period of rapid development." Li Dedao.
Zhang Chuchen didn't really understand.
"What the husband said is, out of the dust, you think that if the world is in turmoil, the people will definitely suffer because of the war, and there will be a lot of people who will flee by then, and now the sixteen states of Youji are developing rapidly, but there is still a lack of population, and when the time comes, the people of the world will go to the sixteen states of Youji, what do you say." Pei Qingxuan explained.
"I see, let's just say that the husband is still smart, but how to deal with the affairs of the Xiao family, who is the person who is secretly targeting the Li family?" Zhang Chuchen continued.
Li De is really unsure, through the surveillance of Red Peony, the only people who have dealings with the Xiao family after the incident are Zhang Zhongjian and Li Mi.
Li Mi was the object of his attention, thinking it was too much of a coincidence.
"Okay, don't talk about these things, let's talk about it when it happens, the top priority is to let Youzhou keep asking, the winter will be over in more than a month, and the most important thing at that time is spring ploughing, and the cattle and horses used for ploughing should be ready." Li De instructed.
"Don't worry, husband, these things are now done by the people of the City Lord's Mansion, and they are already familiar with them." Zhang Chuchen said.
"Izuchen is right, like this year's harvest is much better than last year, the vanguard reserves of military food are enough for five years, and the people have surplus food, this year's Shangyuan Festival believes that the business of the sixteen states of Youji will rise sharply." Pei Qingxuan said.
Li De has long known the situation of the autumn harvest, and hesitated that the scale of the fertilizer workshop is large, and the amount of organic fertilizer in the reserve is enough to make the crops grow so well.
There are enough food people to live and work in peace and contentment, which is exactly what Li De wants to see, and at the same time, it is also necessary for the sixteen states of Youji to continue to carry out construction, otherwise the people will come and settle down where there are so many houses for them to live in.
Today's projects are all funded by the city guard's government, and a large number of people migrate every year, and a group of soldiers' families happened to settle not long ago, resulting in a small number of properties left.
It is not easy to build in winter, and after spring ploughing, we will start to build a large project.
Half a month passed quickly, and Emperor Yang of Sui had already set off from Jiangling, and the restaurant on the street was full of people, just to be able to see the team when the emperor left.
Many people came out to greet and send off, Emperor Yang of Sui liked this feeling of responding to a hundred calls, and he thought in his heart that the more people who came, the better.
The sense of superiority as an emperor has exploded.
In the upstairs private room of a restaurant closest to the city gate facing the street, Li Mi was watching the team leaving from the window, and many people in the upstairs private rooms of the same restaurants had chartered the room.
Xiao Mo and Zhang Zhongjian watched Emperor Sui's carriage leave from the upstairs of the Xiao family's restaurant, and they couldn't wait to speed up the convoy.
