Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 134

[Chapter 134]

“Who did it!”

In front of the boundary marker between Yuanyang County and Shuyang County, Yuan Li had a gloomy face.

After getting the news, he came here the next day to see what happened.

Yuan Mu, a son of the Yuan family who manages the farm, knelt on the ground, trembling with fear.

“It was so dark that we couldn’t see what they looked like. When they saw us, they beat them without saying a word. Hundreds of people were wounded on the farm. At dawn the next day, we found that the rice was gone. ”

“We heard that King Yan led troops to Yuanyang County the day before yesterday, so they must have done it.” Another Yuan family child said.

Guo Tu was dumbfounded. It was obvious that King Yan was retaliation.

He thought to himself, this King Yan is really capable of being both a gentleman and a villain, amazing.

Hearing this, Yuan Li turned his ferocious eyes on Yuanyang County. The general beside him said, “Tonight you lead your troops across the border, cut off their rice, and burn everything that can’t be cut.”

One night, he Yuan How could he endure the disappearance of the 8,000 mu of rice in his family.

“Yes, my lord,” said the general.

After his words fell, he suddenly saw a group of people coming from Yuanyang County.

The leader was actually Chang Wei.

When he came to the boundary marker, Chang Wei did not cross the boundary, but just sneered and took out a sickle from behind.

Then he waved his hand, and Chang Wei and the soldiers started cutting rice along the boundary marker.

Follow-up soldiers kept coming, each with a scythe.

Behind the soldiers are the mob of common people.

They distributed to various places and cut off the rice near Shuyang County one by one.

Finally, he saw Zhao Xu riding leisurely over.

“King Yan, you are really despicable.” Yuan Li angrily scolded Zhao Xu when he came to the boundary monument.

“In terms of despicability, this king wants to worship Yuanzhou Mu as his teacher, burn wheat, and let soldiers pretend to be bandits to rob merchants. What else is there in the future? The next step is to pretend to be Beidi people and attack Yan County.” Zhao Xu sneered.   Yuan Li was furious, “King Yan, don’t talk nonsense

, without proof, be careful that I impeach you for slander.”

Face, is it a shame?” Guo Tu sneered, at this time he naturally wanted to help his master.

“You have to divide people into tasks. To deal with a lowly person, you have to be even more lowly than him. As for the face of the royal family, if you can’t avenge your subjects, you lose the face of the royal family and make people laugh.” Zhao Xu scorned. Looking at Guo Tu anxiously, “You must be the one who came up with these low-level methods?”

“You…” Guo Tu’s face turned pale with anger.

Yuan Li gritted his teeth, “What a sharp-mouthed King Yan, I lost this move, but I want to see how His Highness can crack the business route.”

At that moment, King Yan made people cut all the rice on the border , he is naturally unable to retaliate.

Otherwise, if his people went deep into Yuanyang County, they would be ambushed by King Yan’s people, and the gains would outweigh the losses.

Therefore, he intentionally angered King Yan with business matters.

“I have also issued an order to the sheriffs of other counties that merchants will not be allowed to enter and exit Yan County. Hehe, Your Highness, although your wine is good, I am afraid it will not be sold, but I can be a good person. Your Highness sells the wine to the Yuan family at a low price, and the Yuan family can buy it for His Highness’s sake.” Yuan Li said again.

“Daydreaming, even if this king pours out all the wine, it won’t be cheap for your Yuan family.” Zhao Xu frowned.

Compared with Rice, this incident was indeed more of a headache for him.

Seeing that Zhao Xu could only suffer a secret loss in this matter, Yuan Li was even more proud.

But what Zhao Xu said next made him furious.

“But Zhang Kang’s death, the Yuan family will cut off the trade with Beidi.” Zhao Xu said lightly.

“King Yan, let’s wait and see.” This matter has always been a concern for him.

The Yuan family’s large family business was saved by him little by little.

Especially the business with Grassland has made the Yuan family well fed these years.

Now it’s all ruined by King Yan.

Zhao Xu snorted coldly, ignored him, and went down to the field to cut rice.

Last night, he not only mobilized all the soldiers, but also organized many common people to cut and transport rice.

All the rice was given to the families of the people whose rice fields were burned.

He knew that the Yuan family would retaliate when they found out, so he asked Ge Dong to organize the people of Yuanyang County to help the people near the boundary markers cut rice and form an open area.

Yuan Li made fun of himself, and didn’t take advantage of it, so he snorted coldly, turned and left.

the following few days.

Zhao Xu did not leave Yuanyang County.

While urging the establishment of township soldiers, he led the troops to help the people of Yuanyang County continue to harvest rice.

“Our soldiers come from the common people, and we must be able to return to the common people. We must be able to fight and harvest wheat.”

Sitting on the ridge of the field, Zhao Xu rolled up his sleeves and held a sickle in his hand.

He has harvested rice in contemporary times, and he still remembers the posture of harvesting rice, and he does not lose to the common people at all in his work.

Chang Wei straightened up and laughed loudly, “Your Highness, the general admires you more and more now. I didn’t expect to grow up in the imperial city and cut rice so neatly.” The

nearby people all looked at King Yan with admiration.

In the past, they only heard that King Yan was kind and amiable, but now they have really seen it.

I am afraid that the only prince in the world who can go to the fields to cut rice with the people is King Yan.

“It’s really a blessing for us to have His Royal Highness King Yan.”

“Yes, we have been wronged a little, and His Highness will make up for us, and we will not suffer from following His Highness like this.”

“Hey, that’s right, we will have a good day in the future.”

“…”

Several peasant women sat Under the shade of the trees on the ground, with a basket of food in their hands, they came to deliver food.

Now they kept looking at King Yan, but they forgot about delivering food until their husband yelled loudly.

“Tat Tat Tat…”

At this moment, there was a sound of horseshoes.

Everyone in the field looked up.

I saw a silver armored cavalry coming from Shuyang County on the opposite side.

“Chen Hu!”

Chang Wei covered the sun and looked towards the road, exclaiming in surprise.

Zhao Xu looked over, and it really was Chen Hu.

At this time, the cavalry led by Chen Hu seemed a little puzzled seeing so many people in the field, so they slowed down.

He was even more surprised when he saw King Yan in the field.

Immediately dismounted and ran to King Yan.

“Chen Hu sees Your Highness.” In front of Zhao Xu, Chen Hu knelt down on one knee.

Then he saluted Chang Wei again.

Zhao Xu helped Chen Hu up, and said with a smile, “You guys are finally back.”

Chang Wei said, “Did you encounter anything on the way back?”

Chen Hu was surprised, and said, “How did the general know? Enter After Fan Yang, we were not allowed to enter Fan Yang’s city, and the general was afraid of accidents, so he could only travel day and night, and today we finally got to enter Yan County.”

Zhao Xu and Chang Wei looked at each other, and Yuan Li really stumbled again.

Fortunately, there are roads everywhere in Fanyang County.

If there are dangerous passes, Chen Hu’s trip will be troublesome.

Chang Wei then talked about the Yuan family’s revenge today.

“So that’s how it is.” Chen Hu frowned, but soon relaxed, and said with a smile: “Your Highness, don’t worry too much, this time the emperor has given His Highness great benefits, and now Shanggu County is also His Highness’s seal, and His Highness is also allowed to expand the army to 60,000.”

“Really?” Chang Wei was even more surprised than Zhao Xu, his eyes widened like a bull’s-eye.

What he cares most about is military expansion.

Generally speaking, a vassal king can have a maximum of 30,000 soldiers in one county, and another 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers can be expanded by one more county.

The emperor gave 30,000 directly, which shows the importance he attaches to King Yan.

Chen Hu emphasized heavily, “The imperial decree will arrive in Yancheng soon.”

Zhao Xu rolled his eyes, and suddenly felt relieved.

His first thought was not about military expansion, but about trade.

Shanggu County is adjacent to Jinzhou. When you go out of Jinzhou, you will arrive at Sizhou. After Sizhou is Yuzhou, and after Yuzhou is Ningzhou where Jinling is located.

The most important thing is that you can reach Jinzhou from Feihuguan in Shanggu County, then go straight down the Yellow River from Jinzhou, and follow the southward water network to the foot of Jinling City in Ningzhou along the Yellow River.

As a result, trade routes were opened.
