Chapter 64 Guo Yan's Secret Room Poison Offering Plan Pei Shiju acted as ordered
In this era, the tailoring industry was a technical job that relied on absolute craftsmanship. The master tailor is also quite respected, and his skills are almost always passed down from family to family. Every tailor has a lot of understanding, and generally does not need to look at the drawing, but only needs to make a ready-to-wear for the guest according to the needs of the customer. The old tailor in this house is the top figure in this industry, carefully looked at the clothes that Yang Er gave him, and in combination with the content of Yang Er's dictation, he stroked his beard and nodded frequently, and said: "Although the prince's clothes are weird, they are always changing, the production is also very simple, and the materials are also very economical. ”
"Double-sewn with an appropriate amount of down in the middle, so you can keep warm when worn close to the body. This down can be --- fine fluff on the duck's body, and it is the most warm thing. If there is no one, it can also be replaced with fine chicken feathers. Yang Er wanted to say that wool was used, but he knew that it needed sheep wool from the grassland, which was unlikely to be achieved for tailors in the mainland.
After hearing this, the old tailor thought for a while and said: "Please rest assured, the most difficult part of this dress is the collection of eiderdown, I don't know how much eiderdown is needed for this dress, oh, it is the "vest" in the prince's mouth?" The little old man will try to make it first according to the requirements of the prince, and in two days at most, the little old man will definitely be presented with ready-to-wear clothes. With that, he said goodbye, turned around and walked out the door, not even the clothes painted by Yang Erhua didn't need it. Yang Er thought to himself, are people who have the ability to do it like this in this era? It's like a top martial arts master can't look down on the beginner martial arts cheats at all.
In a few days, it will be the day of the autumn hunt in the royal paddock, and the prince's mansion also looks like a victory, and every princeling has a relaxed face. The gate of the Prince's Mansion is even full of people entering and exiting every day. It is said that today, the crown prince Yang Yong took the guards of the palace out of the city gate early in the morning, and needless to say, this is another trip out of the city to hunt in the nearby mountains and forests. All this is preparing for the upcoming autumn hunt, so as to behave in front of the officials and foreign history.
The last few days of the Yue Wang's Mansion have not been as relaxed and comfortable as Yang Yong's Prince's Mansion, and Yang Su, the Yue King, has not only to keep abreast of the details of the forbidden army's defense on the periphery of the established enclosure in the mansion, but also to choose a valley where the assassins are hidden. At this time, Yang Su was also studying the mountain map with Guo Yan, a doctor of Guanglu.
"There are a lot of vast valleys in the east of the city, and the three places listed in this map are all optional hidden and quiet places, but how to mobilize the King of Jin to go to the valley of the preset ambush alone, this needs to be thought of separately!" Guo Yan looked at the map and pulled his beard and said softly.
"Yes! Now it can be said that everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, just think of a way to let the king of Jin take the initiative to enter the palace, and the big thing will be done! Yang Su said with a sneer on the side.
"I heard Yue Gong say that the son of Xuangan sent a letter the day before yesterday and has hired more than 20 knights from the rivers and lakes. The king of Jin was powerless, but there were two young guards around him, a man and a woman, and his kung fu was not weak. According to the lower officials, these 20 people must be placed in one place to attack, and it should be certain to besiege and kill these three people. Guo Yan said as he made a gesture of clenching his fists in front of Yang Su's eyes.
"My son will return to Beijing in three days, and everyone can blend in with the guards who go hunting with His Royal Highness the Prince, and enter the city at night by night. After everything was arranged, they scattered out of the city and infiltrated the designated valley to ambush each night before the autumn hunt, and it could be done in one go. Yang Su said as he poked his finger at the location of a valley on the map a few times.
"Okay, Xia Guan has a clever plan to lure the King of Jin into our preset place." Guo Yanyin smiled and shook his head and whispered.
"Oh? The meter will be settled. Yang Su was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly walked to Guo Yan's side.
"The prince only needs to be like this on the day of the autumn hunt, like this... That's it, what does the prince think? Guo Yan whispered in Yang Su's ear in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"Good, wonderful! Guo Gong is really alive Zhuge also, this plan is wonderful! Hahahaha! The two laughed loudly in the study.
Military Intelligence Department of the Jin Prince's Mansion.
"What? You said that Guanglu doctor Guo Yan stayed in Yang Su's mansion for more than an hour, and didn't leave until the time when he was in charge of the lamp? Yu Wenhua asked a detailed household who came to report. This detailed Baihu official is Yu Wenhua and his personally promoted cronies, who are specifically responsible for monitoring the situation of the Yue Wangfu, and what Yu Wenhua brought at this time is the news of Guo Yanmi's visit to the Yue Wangfu.
"What did they conspire to do?" Yu Wenhua's expression was extremely serious, and he asked his subordinates in a cold voice.
From the maid serving tea, the fuzhong only found out that there was a mountain map on the desk of the two people's study. I didn't know what the two of them were secretly talking about. The fine work of the hundred households replied softly.
"Alright, let's go down! Continue to monitor closely. Tell Li Baihu, who is monitoring the prince's mansion, how many of the prince's guards go out of the city for hunting? How much to go back to the city? Are there any living people? Be sure to probe carefully. After listening to the reports of his subordinates, Yu Wenhua didn't know what to do for a while, so he had to make a more detailed monitoring plan. Because he knew that if the killers hired from Jiangnan wanted to infiltrate the city, it was the best way to enter the city with the prince's hunting guards, and no one dared to block the inquiry at the city gate of the forbidden army, including his second son Yu Wenhualong.
It was getting late, and nothing particularly noticeable or suspicious was happening on this day. Yu Wenhua and it was inconvenient to go to Liu Wenjing to discuss this matter, so he only waited to talk to him in the future. But Yu Wenhua was still a little uneasy in his heart, he knew that Guo Yan's ability, Guo Yan was definitely a far-reaching figure among the princelings, and his status was no less than that of Liu Wenjing, the commander of the Military Intelligence Department of the Jin Palace, and he was the first strategist in the hands of Yang Su, the king of Yue. What did they discuss? A mountain map on the table? Well? It should be a map of the mountainous area of the autumn hunting paddock. What are they plotting against this picture? No way.
Thinking of this, Yu Wenhua hurriedly shouted at the guards outside the door, "Go and find Wang Deqianhu for me, even if you sleep, you have to get me here, hurry!" ”
Hedong County Luzhou Mansion Yamen.
Pei Shiju, Pei Yun, Liu Xuan, Zheng Xu, Li Jing's civil and military gathered together, Pei Shiju held a letter sent to Luzhou, Hedong by Sima Yuwenshu, the great Sima Yuwen of the Jin Wangfu in the capital 4 days ago, this is a letter that sorted out the dictation of His Royal Highness the King of Jin, with the seal and signature of Yang Guang, the king of Jin. The letter detailed many matters that require the cooperation of the Luzhou government, and today I just received the military adviser Sima Pei Shiju urgently convened all the civil and military personnel to discuss the implementation.
"Everyone, the day before yesterday, Yuwen Chengdu and Wu Yunzhao led the army to Taihang Mountain to recruit heroes, and returned to my Luzhou for a short stay and rest, you and I both know that now the Taihang Mountain is hundreds of miles away from my Royal Highness the King of Jin. This is a letter from the King of Jin, the book wants to maximize the development of Taihang Mountain, as an important base for His Royal Highness the King of Jin to fight for the world, Taihang Mountain is close to the east of my river, and many of my Hedong cooperation matters are involved during the period. You can read this letter. After that, Pei Shiju handed the letter to Pei Yun, the master of the nearby Jin Palace.
"His Royal Highness said in the letter that the human, material and financial resources of Hedong County will be vigorously transported to the Taihang Mountains, so that the Taihang Mountains will be built into a military, economic and logistical base within three years, and the status is no less than that of Hedong today. Among them, the military cooperation is that Hedong County provides a ration of no less than 100,000 troops, including armor, ordnance, food and military salaries; In terms of economic cooperation, the resettlement of displaced people in Hedong will be suspended, and in the future, displaced people, both men and women, will be sent to the Taihang Mountains for resettlement, so as to increase the number of households in the population, with the overall goal of reaching 850,000 households. Before these people could not be self-sufficient, the food they needed needed to be supported by Hedong; In terms of logistical construction, we were required to support the potato and sweet potato crops in Hedong to the Taihang Mountains, and to transfer thousands of farmers who were familiar with planting to go into the mountains to teach the mountain people how to cultivate. Let's discuss the above three things! When everyone was circulating the letters, Pei Shiju said to everyone unhurriedly.
"Master Pei, Xiaguan is in charge of the development of people's livelihood in Hedong, and these three things all involve people's livelihood. Since King Chitose of Jin has taken the huge borderless land of Mangmang Taihang Mountain, he should go all out to develop it, which will have huge benefits for King Chitose of Jin in the future. Taihang Mountain has a total of 19 villages, north to Yanyun, south to Zhongzhou, to the east can directly hit the Jizhou Plain, the west is connected with the east of my river as a whole, as the Jin King Chitose said in the book is a piece of can raise the people, store grain, garrison army, enter can attack, retreat can defend the treasure land. At present, our Hedong produces and sells salt, grain, and seafood, and has accumulated enough money and salary to support the construction of the Taihang Mountain base, which is enough to support the goal of 150,000 troops required by His Royal Highness. In addition, after months of recruitment, the displaced people in Hedong are now basically saturated with the developed land, and every day there are displaced people who pass by, they can be directly sent to the Taihang Mountains for resettlement, and the necessary grain, farm tools, and cattle are fully supported by our department. Pei Yun clearly explained his attitude to the attendees, and after speaking, he looked at Zheng Xu, an important staff member under him, and had the intention of asking for his opinion. Zheng Xu saw his chief officer looking at him, and hurriedly got up and added unhurriedly:
"Judging from the current storage situation of Heluocang in Luzhou, we have reached the goal of 5 million stone of grain storage required by His Royal Highness Chitose, most of which are mainly potatoes and sweet potatoes, and most of the original storage such as buckwheat have been bought or exchanged for horses and farming tools in Beidi, Zhongzhou, Jizhou and other places. At present, the autumn grain is about to be laid, and it is expected that no less than 2 million stone of grain will be harvested. Therefore, the part of the grain that has been stored for the longest time can be estimated at 1 million stone and sent to Taihang Mountain, part of which can be used for planting and land cultivation, and part of which can be used as military and civilian rations to survive this winter. There is also the matter of transporting horses to Taihang Mountain specifically mentioned by Chitose Ye, and now the tribes of the northern grassland are approaching because of the cold winter, and if the horses, cattle and sheep do not exchange goods with me, they will also die of cold and starvation, so don't say that transporting 50,000 war horses in Taihang, even 100,000 is also a very easy thing, and hundreds of thousands of Shichen Valley buckwheat in the warehouse can be exchanged for a large number of good horses. Zheng Xu added it in detail, and the data couldn't help but be unbelievable. attracted Pei Shiju and other civil and military officers to nod frequently, and the major generals in the seat were even more overjoyed, who doesn't want to bring more cavalry!
"Ladies and gentlemen, my Jiechi salt field has now expanded several times, in addition to the monthly ration of the part of the Jingshi treasury, the monthly production can be increased by 20,000 catties of salt without affecting the existing income, and it is not difficult to meet the salt used by the people of Taihang Mountain. In addition, the seafood farms under our salt plant can also allocate dozens of tons of kelp, marine fish, etc. to reinforce the mountainous areas. At this time, Liu Xuan made a speech on the salt production of the Jiechi Salt Farm under his jurisdiction.
"Okay, that's the case, get ready, Heluocang is ready to allocate 1 million stone grain into the mountain, and the armory is ready to transfer 20,000 sets of ordnance and armor into the mountain in advance. Hedong Horse Farm allocated 20,000 good horses to be delivered to the mountain in advance. When the governor of Taihang Mountain, Lord Hua Gongyi, arrived in Luzhou, he was handed over to him. Pei Zhushu arranged for 10,000 people to be escorted into the mountain with the Chinese governor, and the two generals Zhai Rang and Luo Song were ready to order 5,000 cavalry to escort them along the way. This official estimates that at most, the general manager of Hua and the generals of Taihang Mountain who have been assigned to garrison Wulu Prefecture will be able to arrive. General Daoxing, you have to be ready! There are a total of 30,000 soldiers in this "pioneer battalion" in this majestic sea. There are also 5,000 horses stationed in Naze Prefecture. Pei Shiju gave a series of orders and turned around to remind his old friend. You must know that the Luzhou camp in Hedong is under the full control of Li Jing, and it is strange that he Li Jing is not heartbroken if he wants to allocate 35,000 elite soldiers from the camp. I didn't look at Na Zhai Rang's unhappy face when he read King Jin's letter, but he didn't dare to speak, and the three generals Luo Song, Ding Yanping and Hou Junji, who played well, also showed unhappiness, and they had the feeling that their own children looked big but let others take them away.
