"What's going on? Why didn't the people inside come out?"

Outside the city, a group of people stood in place and waited.

"Do you want to wait? Nothing will happen in there, will it?"

"Probably not, right? Chang Yuan didn't react at all."

"But now the people really haven't come out, and the time agreed with them has long passed."

"Could something have been delayed, or has something else been stopped? Taixi County is now strictly in and out."

"Look!" The crowd stopped talking and looked in the direction the man was pointing.

I saw thick smoke billowing out of Taixi County, and black smoke rising everywhere.

The crowd was excited, "It's on fire, it's on fire!" The plan has begun! Taixi County must be in chaos now!"

"Why haven't people come yet? Shall we wait?"

Listening to the sound of turmoil coming from the city, you can vaguely glimpse the chaos inside.

The man at the head thought for a moment, "I can't wait! We've got to get back the news! The plan is ongoing, and they can go back if they come out on their own, and there must be no time to take care of them over there in Taixi County, so they are probably entangled in something."

Several people made a decision and hurried away.

The news was brought back, and several people and horses worked together to besiege the major cities of Changyuan.

……

Liu Jianxing prepared to lead the soldiers straight to Yuzhou and their border defenses.

"Your Majesty, we are the closest to Taixi County, as long as we take the entire Yuzhou, we can go straight to Taixi County, and Changyuan will be in our pocket at that time!"

"Hahaha, that's right! What kind of palm thunder does he have, we can also get it, who in the world can match us when the time comes? Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, please lead the men and horses to attack the city first!"

"Your Majesty! The ministers are willing to lead people to attack the city!"

Everyone was celebrating and asking to fight, as if as long as they dispatched their men, the other party would fall like tofu.

But in fact, in their eyes, this is indeed the case, now that Taixi County is on fire and there is a shortage of food, the people in the city will definitely be in turmoil, Chang Yuan himself has no time to take care of, how can he beware of their alliance of soldiers and horses?

Liu Jianxing was silent, not as excited as these people under him.

"I always feel that something is wrong, and Chang Yuanzhen also understands it, it is impossible to fall for our plan so easily, but he just fell for it."

"It went too well."

His subordinates said enthusiastically, "Your Majesty, this time it is our several major families and several major forces who have joined forces to trap them, and it is normal for them to be unable to break free, if you want me to say, Your Majesty thinks highly of him."

"Although Chang Yuan has the ability, he has only heard that he is very good at fighting, if you want to talk about resourcefulness, how can you be able to defeat so many of us?"

"There aren't even many people around him who are reading, and it's normal that he can't see through the strategy, I heard that Ning Changrong, the one he trusts the most, is still a mud-legged man who doesn't even have a reputation, such a person, let's use a little tricks, and they don't play tricks?"

While they were deliberating, a herald approached, "Meet Your Majesty."

Liu Jianxing raised his hand to let the other party speak.

"King Yong has sent troops to attack Huaixi Mansion, and Emperor Nanchen has sent people to fight Shaanzhou."

Liu Jianxing waved his hand to step back.

Subordinates have made suggestions.

"Your Majesty, they've already done it, and we have to act now."

"Your Majesty, please lead the troops!"

While they were discussing, the heads of several great families broke into the tent and bowed down, "I've seen Your Majesty."

It's like walking a form, the movement is in place, but there is no sense of respect.

Liu Jianxing's face did not change, as if he didn't notice anything wrong, and he didn't accuse them of suddenly breaking in, "Everyone, what is the important thing to discuss when you suddenly come over?"

The head of the Wang family said, "The old man has received news from all sides, the north has begun to move, the little emperor of the southern city has also sent troops, and other places are also starting to set off, I don't know when Your Majesty is going to send troops?"

Other family heads also inquired, "This is the best time, Your Majesty must not miss it."

Liu Jianxing frowned and thought for a while, and finally could only sigh helplessly, "Okay, pass on my will, and send troops immediately."

Then he assigned the siege generals and ordered 200,000 horses.

……

The boundary line of Yuzhou City, when Yuzhou was conquered together, Yuzhou was thus divided into two, and on the border, Chang Yuan built a long cement city wall, which has now become a line of defense against the enemy.

Looking at the dense enemy army in front, the general defending the city was not in a hurry, and the soldiers on the city wall were also preparing for the defense of the city in an orderly manner.

"Woooooooo This is the sound of the siege trumpet.

Liu Jianxing's soldiers and horses sent thousands of soldiers to charge and test.

"Brush, brush!"

When they approached the firing range, they were greeted by an overwhelming rain of bows and arrows, and the soldiers were wiped out before they could get a hundred steps close to the wall.

The crossbows alternated between projectile and flat fire, and the shields of these soldiers barely blocked them.

The bow and arrow are extremely penetrating, and it doesn't need to be like a bow and arrow, and it will take so long to prepare for the next launch, and it can almost complete the rain of arrows.

……

Confirmation that the news had spread, the black smoke in the city was gradually extinguished, and the city returned to its orderly appearance, and a new shop was opened to sell cheap grain, which was the grain that Ning Changrong transferred from their own grain depot.

Ten pieces of rice, limiting the amount of money that could be bought per person, and prohibiting trading, was the price before the plague occurred.

Although after this training, it is not completely certain that no one will be greedy for this kind of advantage, buy at a low price and sell at a high price.

……

Several major grain stores have already been thoroughly investigated, and it is the turn of the last Wang's grain store.

"No silver?" Ning Changrong asked with a frown.

The soldier shook his head, "Mr. Ning has searched inside and outside here, and he hasn't found any silver."

It is impossible not to have it, how much silver they have earned in the past few days Ning Changrong sent someone to keep an eye on it, the amount that the other party transported out was obviously wrong, and there must be most of the silver hidden here.

He was knocking around, but he didn't really notice anything wrong.

He came to the courtyard, looked carefully at the ground on the ground, and suddenly his eyes fell under a large tree, and he crouched down and twisted the dirt with his hands.

The dirt in this place is old mud, but it feels softer than in other places.

Summoning the soldier, he pointed to the dirt in front of him, "Dig here a few times and try it."

The soldiers took shovels and dug around the place under the big tree, digging for a while, but they didn't find anything wrong, just when Ning Changrong thought he had guessed wrong, the shovel hit a hard object and made a collision sound.

The soldier exclaimed, "There's something down here!"

Then they dug even harder, and in less than half an hour all the large boxes under were exposed.

When they were brought out, there were five large boxes side by side.

Ning Changrong looked at the big pit that was dug out, it was at least four or five cubic meters, and it was really deep enough.

When I opened the box, it was silver that I hadn't taken away.

"Carry them all back to the county office to count." And the money came into the account.
