Chapter 467: The Fish Bites

Hearing the spy's words, Liu Weichen was overjoyed. However, for the sake of prudence, he still decided to send a few more people to inquire about the situation in Zhujuan County.

On the side of Zhujuan County, although the distance from Liangzhou is not particularly far, but because of the obstruction of Anyuan Fort and Yuanwei County, I don't think there is any danger. Anyway, it is very lively all year round, and everyone is not disturbed by the things in Liangzhou.

"On this trip back to Chang'an, you must pay attention to it, and there must be no problems. This batch of tax silver is very important, if there is any difference, you and I are afraid that we will have to go to see the general! Outside the official treasury next to the county office, Wu Hui explained to the generals who escorted the tax silver.

"Don't worry, my lord, the lower officials know how to do it! Besides, this is not the first time to escort, and the road is very familiar! "The person in charge of the escort is a school captain, with 400 soldiers and horses, to escort this batch of treasury silver back to Chang'an.

The county itself can't consume too much money, but because of the booming business here, it is making money every day. Therefore, almost every month or so, the tax silver in the treasury has to be transported back to Chang'an. This has been done many times since last year, and there are actually many people in the city who know about it.

Fifty or sixty boxes or even hundreds of boxes of silver were available at a time, and although gold and silver had already begun to be used in this era, it was not suitable for ordinary people and merchants. Generally speaking, such a large amount of gold and silver would only be used for military salaries or state payments.

After all, if all the grain is made of copper coins or cloth, the amount may be very large. Everyone knows that the county is very profitable, but they don't know to what extent. It was only after seeing these carts that many people knew that the county was so rich.

"You've been back and forth many times, but the more you do it, the more you can't take it lightly. In short, be careful along the way, go early and come back early! Wu Hui frowned and explained to him.

"Don't worry, sir! The next official is going! The general nodded, then turned on his horse and led the convoy slowly out of the city.

Naturally, it is not possible to go at night for such a thing as escorting tax silver, and it is better to set off after dawn. After all, the darker it is, the more dangerous it is!

Wu Hui sent the convoy all the way to the city gate, and then climbed the tower to look at it for a while, and then returned to the yamen to work.

The convoy consisted of about sixty wagons, each with two large wooden chests, which were carried out of the city by pack horses, and headed south under the escort of four hundred soldiers.

They had to go south along the Xiluoshui Road, and then after passing Wushi County, they would enter Guanzhong along the Longguan Road and enter Chang'an from west to east. This section of the road, after passing Wushi County, it is relatively prosperous, and there are many counties and counties along the way, so there is no big problem with safety.

The real problem, I'm afraid, lies in the distance from Xujuan County to Wushi County. Although this section of the road is along the Xiluoshui south, there is no other city in the middle, even Sanshui County is also dozens of miles east of this road.

The speed of escorting tax silver could not be particularly fast, and the group walked for a long time, and it was only more than sixty miles away from Zhujuan County.

Just as the big guy was hurrying, a "bang" suddenly sounded, and the big car walking in the middle didn't know what was going on, and it actually fell to the ground all of a sudden.

This time it's good, the wooden box on the top of the car has been turned over, and the seals on it have been directly broken. When the lid of the box was opened, piles of glittering gold rolled out of it.

"What's going on? What's going on? The general who was walking in front heard the sound, and hurriedly rode his horse and ran over, shouting as he spoke.

"Captain Qiqi, this car accidentally rolled a big stone on it just now, and the car overturned!" The sergeant next to him hurriedly replied.

"What are you doing? Why don't you pick up your things and help the car up? When the general saw this, he immediately became anxious and immediately scolded.

Although this is a wilderness, no one else passes by at this time, but after a long time, you don't know. If you let other people see so many treasures, something will happen.

When everyone heard this, they all hurriedly began to deal with it. Fortunately, the soldiers of the Huashan Army are all well-trained, otherwise, after seeing these things, I am afraid that they will all be confused.

Soon, the team was regrouped and continued on the road.

But what they didn't know was that not far behind them, a few people had been quietly following them since they left the city. The scene of the overturned car just now just happened to let them see it clearly.

"How? Seen it all, right? The leader whispered to the two beside him.

"See, a lot of gold! I'm afraid this box of gold can buy our entire tribe! The two people next to him were excited, and their eyes were shining.

"Hurry up and go back to tell Shan Yu and let him know about this as soon as possible!" After the little leader finished speaking, after seeing the escort team leave, he immediately turned on his horse and headed north.

A few days later, the Xiongnu Shan was in Liu Weichen's big tent where the court was.

"You read that right? Then the Huashan army escorted the gold and silver back to Chang'an like this? "Liu Weichen got the exact news, and he still felt a little dreamy!

"The little one can swear to the Immortal Heaven, absolutely not mistaken! The Huashan army escorted large wooden boxes back to Chang'an, and the boxes had seals on them. If it hadn't happened to turn over a car this time, the little ones wouldn't be sure that it was all gold! This time, they escorted dozens of boxes of gold and silver back, and it is said that every month or so, a convoy will return gold and silver! It's been escorted more than a dozen times! The spy swore an oath.

Hearing this, Liu Weichen finally believed it completely. When I thought of the scene that these spies had said, I felt as if everything in front of me was glittering with gold.

"I can't imagine that there is really such wealth in Xujuan County, if it can be all for us, are you afraid that the Huns will not be strong? When the time comes, we will do what we do on behalf of the country, and we will live our own lives! Since the acting king doesn't want it, let's go and get it ourselves! Pass the order, secretly gather the elite of the clan, let's have two horses alone, and when we are ready, we will immediately send troops to the county. When the time comes, before the Huashan Army in other places does not react, I will empty all the counties of Zhujuan County, and if we run away after grabbing, what can the Huashan Army do to us! After thinking about it for a while, Liu Weichen made up his mind and simply did it alone.

With the current situation of the Xiongnu, although the strength has lost a lot, it is not difficult to gather an army of 20,000 or 30,000 people.

Liu Weichen was cunning, thinking about giving full play to his mobility advantages, and immediately ran away after the fight. Moreover, in order to keep his actions secret, he deliberately used other excuses to gather troops and horses.

However, he didn't know that the spies of the Ministry Division had already infiltrated a few years earlier. Therefore, as soon as there was any action on his side, it was immediately transmitted back to Li Xin's side.

"The fish is finally biting! It seems that his patience is a little less than I estimated, and I thought that he might not make a move until next year, but now it seems that this year he will be able to solve the problem in the north! After getting the news, Li Xin couldn't help but say.

"Everything is already ready, just waiting for the general to speak! Because I don't want to move too much, so as to alarm other people. Therefore, I am afraid that the time for them to actually send troops will be even later. Tu Qi said on the side.

"It's a little too hot right now, and it's a little unbearable for people in the north. Especially their war horses, in this kind of weather, will inevitably be greatly discounted. However, it will be autumn in two or three months, and when that time comes, it will be a good time for them to act. According to common sense, September to October is generally the best time for them to go south. However, Liu Weichen should know that we are used to strengthening the vigilance of the north at this time, so in order to take it by surprise, it should be a little earlier. I reckon that he might sneak south around the end of July and mid-August! Li Xin thought about it and analyzed.

"There's still a little more than a month to go, enough for us to prepare again! However, this time the action may involve a lot, especially on the side of Daiguo, I am afraid that we will have to think about it carefully. After all, they shouldn't be willing to watch the Huns be wiped out by us! ”

"It's up to them! Besides, this time it was Liu Weichen who did it first, so you can't blame us! I would like to see if Shi Yiqian has the courage to come and fight with us. If that's the case, it's a lot more difficult, but we have to solve it! In this matter, death to those who stand in my way! Hearing this, Li Xin couldn't help but say in a deep voice.

"My subordinates understand, do you want to remind General Li that they should pay attention to this matter?" Tu Qi nodded and asked again.

"I'll write a few letters later, and you can send someone to send them at once. In short, let everyone be ready, this time, we have to do our best to achieve the original goal as much as possible. Li Xin pondered for a while and then commanded.

Liu Weichen was quietly preparing for the southward scroll, and it didn't seem to have changed from the outside. But it is impossible for his actions to be concealed from those who have a heart.

Shengle City Dynasty Palace~, Shi Yiqian also soon received relevant news.

"It seems that Tie Fu Weichen is planning to go to fight the Huashan Army!" Shi Yiqian said to Zuo Chang Shi Yanfeng!

"Let him go! Xia Guan dared to conclude that this time he would inevitably come back with a broken head! After hearing this, Yan Feng just said disdainfully.
