One million taels of silver is not much, and Li Yi himself has long been unaware of how much money his family has.

Ruoqing is the big housekeeper of the family, and she is responsible for the operation of the hook bar and the store, and where you need to use the money, just go directly to the account room to withdraw it.

If you can solve the problem of Wuguo with one million taels of silver, it will be a good deal, but it is a pity that the emperor of Wuguo is cowering in the palace and does not come out, the palace is heavily guarded, there are many masters, and no matter how powerful the assassin is, it is unlikely that he will succeed in this environment.

Li Yi didn't pin his hopes on those martial arts knights, he couldn't buy the head of the martial emperor, and it was enough to be disgusting and disgusting.

Xu Zheng, who is in Nanzhou, just came to the news yesterday that the governor of Nanzhou has gathered more than 20,000 troops from the surrounding four prefectures and counties, and has prepared grain and grass to carry heavy loads, and if he wants to take Cangzhou in one fell swoop, he will immediately send troops.

Nanzhou is not far from Cangzhou, and if they march urgently, they will arrive in three days, and if they are not so anxious, they should arrive here in five days.

Wei Liang and the others are already discussing the tactics of facing the enemy, in terms of numbers, they only have half of the opponent's troops, but in terms of strength, these 10,000 people are worth tens of thousands of troops.

What they have to do is to win with minimal losses.

The seventy-three states of Wuguo, which are still controlled by the Wuguo court, are probably more than half.

They just occupy the small Cangzhou, there is still a long way to go, if they are against 20,000 troops, they will have to pay a heavy price to win, how can they fight in the future?

Everyone has been very busy recently, Wei Liang, as the chief general of the city this time, needs to discuss with the generals below to knock on the enemy's strategy, the old man Wang is busy picking up the wool of the landlord's old wealth, redistributing the means of production to a certain extent, and appeasing the restless gentry who have become after being picked, so as not to cause greater chaos, in addition, it is necessary to screen some people who have read books and have the ability to come out and manage the grassroots team......

Rebellion is not a simple fight, this is a very complicated, very tedious work, fortunately, Yang Liuqing is still accompanied by a group of reliable leadership team, otherwise, I am afraid that they have not yet reached the imperial capital, and the team that has been built up with great difficulty will collapse from the inside......

After lunch, Li Yi and Ruyi Ruoqing went out for a walk.

Cangzhou and Shuzhou, or Ruyi City, are different, the people here have suffered from war, and they also know how difficult it is to come to peace.

At the moment of the great enemy, Cangzhou City is almost full of soldiers.

The people did their best, even if they couldn't participate in the war in person, they could help move the sassal wood and rolling stones to the city wall, and the streets were in a hurry, which was an alternative kind of liveliness compared to Shuzhou and Ruyi City.

Ruyi and Ruoqing both like to be quiet and don't like to move, they shouldn't like this kind of excitement in their hearts.

What they like is to settle down in one place and then live a simple and stable life, or abandon mundane things, be together as a family, and go anywhere......

In the past few years, they have been running around with them, and Ruoqing has inexplicably become the queen of heaven, carrying a heavier burden on her shoulders, which is really difficult for them.

If he can conquer the five states this time, Yang Liuqing will be able to gain a firm foothold in the northwest of this Wu country, and he is the largest force in the Wu country except for the imperial court.

Unless the Wuguo Imperial Court exerts all its forces, gathers hundreds of thousands of troops, and encircles and suppresses them in one fell swoop, if not, no one can help them.

After this time, he will be able to completely put his mind at ease, the situation in the five states will be stable, and Miss Liu Er will no longer have to worry about her precious apprentice.

Cangzhou military camp.

Wei Liang had just received a secret letter, and after opening it in front of everyone, he said in a deep voice: "The news from Nanzhou is that the enemy army still has five days to enter the urn, notify it, and the whole army will fight!" ”

……

Nanzhou, before the state city.

A general in armor rode on his horse, and an adjutant general beside him turned over and dismounted, knelt on one knee, hugged his fists and said: "General Yu, General Zheng led two thousand pioneers to escort grain and grass first, and it has reached thirty miles away!" ”

"Let's go!" The general nodded, turned around, and said in a deep voice, "Come with me to defeat the traitor!" ”

"Crusade against the traitor!"

"Crusade against the traitor!"

"Crusade against the traitor!"

……

The 20,000 army stood neatly behind him, speaking in unison, and the sound resounded for miles away, and the entire Nanzhou City could be heard clearly.

Nanzhou Thorn Shi stood at the head of the city, watching the 20,000 army gradually move away, a trace of worry appeared on his face, and muttered: "This time the cities of Nanzhou and Linzhou, the defenders are exhausted, and the city air defense is weak, if those thieves take advantage of the weakness to enter, how can it be good?" ”

An official beside him smiled and said, "Lord Assassin Shi is too worried, those thieves are just a group of rabble, just recklessly acting outside the state city, where do they have the courage to attack the state city?" ”

"What's more, the biggest thief in the east is only more than a thousand people, and the state city is so strong, without 50,000 soldiers and horses, where can it be attacked casually?" The man looked down and said, "Unless this gate can be opened from the inside......

"Even if this is the case, it should not be taken lightly." Nanzhou Thorn Shi nodded, and said: "That Cangzhou, even if it is attacked from the inside, we must not relax, these days, let people step up patrols, and send more people at the city gate to strictly prevent those thieves ......"

"Xiaguan knows ......"

Although Nanzhou is not located in the hinterland of Wuguo, it is not as remote as Cangzhou, and the life of the people is slightly better.

At the gate of the state city, 20,000 troops had just been drawn from here, and the people retreated for several miles, and after they left for a long time, the city gate returned to its former order.

Pedestrians and vendors poured in from outside the city, looking a little noisy, and after being reprimanded by the guards at the city gate, they honestly lined up and entered the city in order.

When a man carrying firewood on his back walked into the city gate, he accidentally tripped under his feet, and the firewood on his back scattered and scattered to the ground.

He hurriedly bent down to clean up.

"How to walk, hurry up and clean up, don't get in the way!" A guard came over scolding and bent down to help him collect the firewood.

The man showed gratitude on his face, held his hand, and said, "Thank you, big brother official!" ”

"Hurry over when you're done, there's still someone waiting for you!" The official waved his hand and turned to leave.

After the man with the firewood on his back left, the city gate returned to normal order, and the official stood back in place, tilted his head slightly, and made eye contact with his companion beside him.

He moved half a step to the side and handed him a note from behind.

To the east of Nanzhou, somewhere in the mountains.

Since the collapse of the Wu Kingdom, heroes have risen together, and some people are strong and occupy a city and a state; Those who are slightly weaker can only occupy small county towns, and they are very easy to be exterminated by the imperial court, so most people have no hope of occupying the city, so they can only turn into rogues and plunder everywhere......

In this mountain forest in the east of Nanzhou, there is a force of about 1,000 people, relying on the advantage of the terrain, withstanding the encirclement and suppression of the government several times, and after taking root here, it has become the largest group of bandits and thieves near Nanzhou.

The leader of this group of thieves, who calls himself "King Chuang", is extremely loud near Nanzhou, which can stop children from crying at night.

But at this moment, this "King Chuang", who is also a well-known person in the eyes of the Nanzhou government, is not at all like the king of a mountain, looking at the young woman sitting above with a flattering face, and asked tentatively: "Eldest sister, the Nanzhou garrison has set off just now, and the city is empty, when will we start?" ”
