Above the court, Duan Yiming was generous, showing the bearing of a great country when Song Shicheng came to borrow grain, and by the way, Luo Hongmin was also pardoned.

Although some of the ministers in the court were not very satisfied with this result, most of them were able to accept it. There was only one civil official of the fifth grade, who sighed softly when he retreated from the dynasty, and said to others: "Yue Shao'an only took a verbal contract to transport away 200,000 loads of grain from my Dali. If this batch of grain is used for the military rations of Song Shicheng, it can be worth a year. Song Shicheng has many strong soldiers and brigades, but there are few military food and equipment, so it is like a tiger with wings......"

Although the folk customs of Dali are now open, the people are talking about royal affairs, as long as they are not too excessive, they are also accustomed to it. However, as an official of the imperial court, he naturally can't speak at will like the people, and of course he can't say too thoroughly. However, just these words also made people hear what he meant. This is clearly to say that Song Shicheng is a tiger on the side of Dali's couch, and now not only does not use sticks to drive away the tiger, but he wants to give the tiger food, and he still cuts his own meat. If you raise a tiger with your own flesh like this, sooner or later you will be eaten by the tiger.

In fact, he is not the only one who understands this truth, but no one else is willing to say it, but he just says it bluntly. The so-called low thunder in the silence of the crowd, when everyone did not speak, he suddenly said this, but it made Gao Chong notice him. Gao Chong's first priority in coming to Dali City this time was, of course, to paralyze Duan Yiming and take his military rations by the way. In addition to this, Yue Shao'an didn't explain anything to him, but Gao Chong himself paid attention to the ministers of Dali, in his opinion, these people are the foundation of Dali, even if Dali is taken down in the future, these people will be enabled. Song Shicheng only focused on force and commerce, but there were very few ministers who ruled the world, so Gao Chong paid more attention to the civil ministers. Listening to this man's words, Gao Chong began to pay attention, and knowing that the man was gradually moving away, he glanced at the subordinates beside him. The subordinates understood and quietly followed......

Gao Chong looked at the sky in the distance, took the reins handed by his attendant, turned over and rode towards the post house. Just above the court, everything has been negotiated, he proposed to let Shicheng County send grain, although Duan Yiming was slightly puzzled, but he was not embarrassed, and agreed. In this matter, Gao Chong's understanding of Yue Shao'an's plan didn't understand why he wanted to send food from Shicheng County, and Duan Yiming couldn't guess it. In Duan Yiming's view, although the place was designated by Yue Shao'an, the transfer of personnel was in his own hands, and he was not afraid of Yue Shao'an's tricks. Moreover, before Song Shicheng started a war with the Great Song Dynasty, he didn't plan to let Gao Chong leave, Yue Shao'an valued this student, he naturally understood, and it was naturally useful to detain it.

Gao Chong also understood this deeply, so he did not propose to leave in disappointment. On the contrary, he lived safely, and seemed to be very interested in everything in Dali, some of the meaning of not thinking about it, all day long, he visited all the scenic spots in Dali, and the only thing that did not go was probably only the Qinglou in Dali.

This is really strange for a normal man, so in order to add to the reasonableness of the conversation, those ordinary people gradually spread such a statement. said that Gao Chong was actually a eunuch, and after he was caught by Yang Fan and brought to Bianliang Kaifeng, he was severely punished, so that some parts lacked the performance they should have, and completely became an ornament, so he was not interested in Qinglou, to be precise, it was not that he was not interested, but to lose the capital of interest.

This rumor spread far and wide, and it didn't take long for it to spread throughout Dali, and combined with the noble behavior, people were deeply convinced. I didn't think anything was going to happen before, but now it's a foreshadowing. Even the five big and three thick guards beside Gao Chong were blindly imagined by people to be his "husband". When the news reached the ears of Gao Chong's men, they were so angry that they almost caught a few people and killed them to set the record straight. However, after Gao Chong found out, he smiled faintly, not thinking that there was anything wrong with this. On the contrary, he even breathed a deep sigh of relief. In the days that followed, he settled down a lot, and rarely went out again, but the more this happened, the more curious it became, and many people even came to wait for him in front of the post house, wanting to see what this one-armed "eunuch" looked like......

The days have passed like this, and the matter here has come to an end for the time being. Of course, Yue Shaoan sent people to pass information to him every day, and he would not pay less attention to this side.

On this day, Yue Shaoan and Zhuo Yan were pacing in the garden of Song Shifu, and the two were chatting but they couldn't leave business.

"Chu Broken Soul should be very happy these days, right?" When Yue Shaoan said the word "happiness", he accentuated his tone, as if he had a deep meaning.

Zhuo Yan, who has always been unsmiling, was more casual in front of Yue Shao'an, listening to what Yue Shao'an said interestingly, he smiled and said: "I am really happy to have a woman with me all day long, but he doesn't seem to be satisfied with his current happiness, just yesterday he asked me when I was going to do it, and it seems that he doesn't want to stay in Xu Cheng's mansion anymore." ”

Yue Shaoan replied with a smile: "Let him stay in peace, it's not time yet." After Jin Mao went to Shicheng County, what happened there? ”

Speaking of Jin Mao, Zhuo Yan put away his smile and said, "Jin Mao is indeed a talent. Originally, I was a little worried that he would not get along well with Zhang Chusan, after all, he was from the emperor's side before, and for Zhang Chusan, obeying orders under his account, he would definitely not accept it now. However, that Jin Mao didn't know what method he used, but he actually made Zhang Chusan very honest, although he couldn't say that he was very convinced, but he didn't reject it. Moreover, the soldiers sent in the past have been quite effective under Jin Mao's rectification, and they should now be able to take charge on their own. ”

Yue Shaoan nodded and said, "At the beginning, I was worried about this, Shicheng County is very important. At first, I was a little apprehensive when I decided to use Jinmao, but now that I have it, I have used it correctly. Is there any news from Dali? When will the grain and grass arrive? ”

"It should arrive early next month." Zhuo Yan counted the days and replied softly.

Yue Shao'an's eyes were slightly closed, and after thinking about it, Huo Ran turned his head and said, "Let your people move, investigate the path of grain and grass clearly, tell Jin Mao, and let him prepare to rob the grain." ”

Zhuo Yan was shocked when he heard this, all along, the people and horses on the side of Shicheng County, he and Yue Shao'an planned to hide deeply, and then use it as a surprise soldier when they sent troops to Dali. Now that Yue Shaoan suddenly asked them to rob the grain, this means that the word "strange" of this strange army will be greatly discounted, which is not a big change for the entire plan. Therefore, Zhuo Yan was a little surprised and said, "Mr. Yue, is it okay to let them be exposed so early?" ”

Yue Shaoan shook his head and said, "Actually, I've thought about it. Even if they are saved for the end, they will at most take down the Kunadian, and with their little strength, they will definitely not be able to cross the Wumeng Mountain. Therefore, it is better to add some troubles to Shicheng County now, so that we can disrupt the arrangement on Dali's side, which is more beneficial to us. ”

Zhuo Yan nodded lightly, he didn't seem to agree with Yue Shao'an's decision very much, however, he had always respected and admired Yue Shao'an, and he didn't refute his words, he agreed, and went to arrange.

After Zhuo Yan left, Yue Shao'an returned to the study, and behind the screen in the study, a geographical map of mountains and rivers made by Zhu Chongyi was placed. It is now covered with small flags of various colors. Yue Shao'an stared at the direction of Shicheng County, and slowly moved the chess pieces representing Jin Mao and Zhang Chusan a few points forward, approaching Wumeng Mountain. Then, he pulled out a small flag from Song Shicheng and planted it on their right side.

After doing this, he thought about it with his eyebrows in his eyes, and then pulled out two small flags from Song Shi City, one was inserted in the Jining Mansion, and the other was actually inserted directly into the west side of Wumeng Mountain, close to the edge of the Shicheng County Mansion.

If this situation is formed, then Shicheng County and Zining Province can be said to be at their fingertips. However, anyone who understands knows that it is simply impossible to achieve such a situation. But Yue Shaoan did this, but he didn't know what tricks he had.

After placing the small flag, Yue Shaoan stared at it for a while, gently patted the sand particles on his hands, and fixed his eyes in the direction of Dongchuan County. said to himself: "Whether you can do this step or not depends on you......" Combined with his gaze, it is not difficult to imagine that the word "you" refers to Chu Broken Soul......
