Chapter 131: Actions of the Parties
"Driving~"
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! ”
Pedal Pedal Pedal ~
On the streets of Wujian City, Zhao Ti, who was in armor, kept patting the war horse under his crotch, his face was full of anxious looks, and hundreds of black-armored knights behind him followed him and quickly galloped out of the city, and in front of him was a cavalry galloping in front of him without stopping.
On the same day, the battle of Fuhushan Mountain, the army of the three towns was defeated, Zhao Wencheng also died in the middle of the escape, Fengning Town was quickly included in the command of the Yangwu Army, and Zhao Lei also surrendered to Sima Yu.
In the process of incorporating the Three Towns Army, Sima Yu learned of Zhao Lei's situation and immediately promoted him to the rank of military candidate, responsible for integrating the army of the Three Towns.
With the continuous advancement of the expansion of the Yangwu Army, after taking Wujian County, Zhao Lei was also dispatched by Sima Yu to Wujian City, serving as the commander of the Wujian County Guard, responsible for the establishment of the Jinyi Guard Station in Wujian County, under the jurisdiction of two thousand households.
At this time, Zhao Lei's heart was extremely anxious, and he urged the war horse under his crotch to run out of the city.
Because of Sima Yu's trust, Zhao Lei served as the commander of the Jinyi Guard in Wujian County, and it can be said that he has stepped into the high-level core of the Yangwu Army, and with the special status of Jinyiwei, he has been equivalent to Liu Shiyu, Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao and other lieutenants of the first battalion of the army.
Since taking office, Zhao Lei has also been conscientious, based on the henchmen of the original Fengning Town, and quickly set up the Jinyi Guard Office in five counties, and the two thousand households under its jurisdiction are basically full.
Just when Zhao Lei was full of ambition and the matters in his hands were progressing smoothly, a distress message he had just received almost frightened him.
The woman of General Yangwu Sima Yu, the chief deacon of the Shang League, Liu Yunling, was attacked outside the city!
Although Zhao Lei has not been serving Sima Yu for a long time, and he still doesn't know much about the women around Sima Yu, he definitely has a clear understanding of Liu Yunling's status in Sima Yu's heart.
Judging from the fact that Sima Yu has always taken him with him on this expedition and is also in charge of the power of the business alliance that affects the economic lifeline of the entire Yangwu General's Mansion, Liu Yunling's status by Sima Yu's side is definitely not low.
And now someone dares to assassinate Liu Yunling in the territory under his direct control, as the highest person in charge of the Jinyi Guard under Sima Yu's direct management of the pro-army in Wujian County, he has an unshirkable responsibility.
At the moment, Zhao Lei could only hope that the dozens of guards around Liu Yunling would be able to hold on.
"Quick! Get out of the way, it's Jinyiwei! ”
"What's wrong with these brocade guards? One by one, they are murderous, I'm afraid something big will happen! ”
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! ”
A group of hundreds of murderous Jinyi guards galloped out of the city desperately, causing chaos on the streets, and hundreds of people on both sides gave way, looking at the Jinyi guards who were galloping quickly, they talked one after another.
For the Yangwu army, the people in the five cities have gradually become familiar with it, and it is the first time they have seen an army dare to march so unscrupulously in the city.
On the Ruyi Restaurant on the side of the street, a middle-aged man dressed as a businessman was sitting quietly by the window drinking wine, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes as he looked at the brocade guards who were hurrying outside the window.
The middle-aged man's name is Xu Dong, the original Ming Dynasty in the middle of the Shu people, came to this world very early after the investment in the Qilin City, with the continuous rise of Sima Yu, gradually became a wealthy merchant in the Qilin City, mainly engaged in cloth, grain and other businesses, is one of the sixteen main members of the establishment of the business alliance.
Under the rule of the Yangwu Army, Sima Yu always encouraged the people in the territory to do business, but every time he went out, a large number of caravans would accompany him, specifically targeting the disposal of materials captured in the army, as well as the basic development of the newly occupied areas.
This time, Sima Yu led tens of thousands of troops to the north to conquer Wujian and other counties, the scale was far greater than before, and the scale of the accompanying caravan was unprecedentedly huge, and the Xu family in Qilin City was one of the important forces in the accompanying caravan.
Moreover, in order to take the lead in this huge newly occupied area as soon as possible, Xu Dong personally rushed to Wujian City on this trip, and like him, there were also the helmsmen of several major families such as the Dong family of Qilin City.
As one of the caravans accompanying the army, the Xu family naturally had frequent contact with Jinyiwei, and had already met Zhao Lei several times.
Through previous contact, they have already understood that Zhao Lei is a very calm and calm person, and he is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, with 2,000 Jinyi Guards under his jurisdiction, and what can make Zhao Lei so shocked must be something big.
"Pedal Pedal ~"
"Oh no, master!"
Just when Xu Dong was puzzled and pondering, there was a sound of hurried footsteps on the wooden floor outside the restaurant's box, and Guan Xu, Xu Dong's housekeeper, pushed the door with a solemn face and entered the road.
"What happened?"
Seeing this, Xu Dong's heart sank, and he asked out loud.
"The head of the family, Dong and Xiang secretly sent dead soldiers to attack the carriage of Liu Yunling, the chief deacon of the Shang League, on the galloping road a few miles outside the city, and now they are fighting fiercely outside the city, just now Zhao Lei has already led people out of the city to rescue!" Guan Xu approached Xu Dong and whispered in his ear.
Perhaps because the news was too shocking, Guan Xu's voice still had a light tremor that could not be concealed.
"What? Bastard! Damn, these guys who are blinded by interests, are they trying to throw our entire business alliance into the water! ”
Xu Dong was shocked when he heard this, slapped his palm on the table in front of him, got up and scolded angrily.
As the head of a family who is crawling in the business world, Xu Dong was also shocked by the news.
A few days ago, he did not attend the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce held in the town of Hexing, but he knew very well what had happened at the meeting.
When he first heard the news, Xu Dong had a faint sense of something bad in his heart, and the ambitions of Dong and Xiang also made him feel very shocked.
But in any case, Xu Dong didn't expect these people to be so bold as to unite with members of several business alliances to assassinate Liu Yunling.
This is simply trying to pull the entire business alliance and Liu Yunling to argue, and Sima Yu to argue.
Could it be that in the name of the entire business alliance, Sima Yu can't take them? Xu Dong's heart was furious.
As one of the oldest merchant families in Qilin City, Xu Dong knew more about the heritage of the Yangwu Army and the character of the Yangwu general Sima Yu than Dong, Xiang and other later families, and even experienced the merchant rebellion set off by Wang Zhiyuan and others a few months ago.
In this bloody storm, how many old merchant families in Qilin City have fallen, and the upper merchant families in the entire Qilin City are almost empty. If it weren't for this, it would not be the turn of the Xu family, which was originally a second-rate business family, to rise.
Therefore, Xu Dong clearly understands in his heart that although General Yangwu's Mansion has been ordering to encourage and promote the development of commerce under his rule, it has never relaxed the management and restraint of commerce, and there is zero tolerance for anyone and family who dares to involve the bottom line.
Dong and Xiang thought that by virtue of the special status of the Shang Alliance in the Yangwu Army, they wanted to break away from the control of the Yangwu Army and vainly tried to control the management rights of strategic materials such as iron ore and ordnance.
In front of the butcher's knife of the Yang Wu Army, their plan is like a joke, and I am afraid that it will make Sima Yu angry with the entire Shang Alliance, which is what Xu Dong is afraid of.
"Immediately send someone to monitor the movements of Dong and Xiang, and if there is a slight change, immediately report to the Jinyi Wei Yamen and the county government! At the same time, immediately mobilize other members of the business alliance to find out all the people involved in the case as soon as possible, and report truthfully once someone asks! ”
After being silent for a few seconds, Xu Dong immediately gave an order.
Now that things have happened, we can only try to make amends.
At the same time, several other major merchant alliance member families in the city also received the news, and spies from all walks of life were dispatched one after another, closely monitoring the movements of Dong and Xiang, and the five county and county governments were also exhausted, quickly controlling the entire five cities, only allowing them to enter but not to leave.
The entire Goken Castle was soon enveloped in an atmosphere of unease. For mobile phone users, please browse and read,
