Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 242

[Chapter 242 The Eyes of the Crowd]

Fan Yang.

Yuan Li is inspecting the Fanyang camp.

Turning around, he found that there were many familiar Yuan family generals missing in the camp, and he couldn’t help but feel ruthless towards King Yan.

These generals are the core children of the Yuan family.

In the battle of Yanguan, one-third of such generals died in battle.

Of the 100,000 elites of his Yuan family, there were only more than 60,000 left, and the miscellaneous soldiers other than the elites ran and died, and almost the entire army was wiped out.

Even these days, the rich family of Yanzhou supported many private soldiers of their own.

But these private soldiers are not even as good as his miscellaneous soldiers.

In this battle, the Yuan family lost almost half of their strength.

While he was gnashing his teeth, Yuan Xiu came over and whispered something to him.

“Six hundred people are enough. Let them sneak into Yan County and wait for orders.” Yuan Li narrowed his eyes.

Shizu and Zhao Heng hoped that he and King Yan would check and balance each other in Yanzhou.

This is just their wishful thinking.

How could he, the Yuan family, be willing to become their pawn and be manipulated by them like a dog?

For him, this Yanzhou can only have one master, either King Yan or him.

They are incompatible.

After all, although the three south counties of Yanzhou are richer than the four north counties.

But having lost so much land and population, his Yuan family could not recover to its heyday at all.

This makes him how to bear.

“Patriarch, King Yan has always been scheming, will he succeed this time?” Yuan Xiu expressed concern.

During the Yanguan battle, he was frightened by the army of the royal family.

“It’s best if it succeeds. If it doesn’t succeed, I want to make Ping County and Liao County mess up, and I won’t give King Yan the chance to govern these two counties safely.” Yuan Li said.

After a pause, he continued: “Besides, sometimes cleverness is misunderstood by cleverness. This time I considered the possibility that King Yan would find out about this matter, so I set up this plan.”

Yuan Xiu nodded.

Eight hundred dead men from Beidi were responsible for assassinating King Yan at the banquet.

This is based on the fact that King Yan was not aware of their strategy.

If King Yan noticed, then the 600 dead soldiers of the Yuan family would come in handy.

They will set up an ambush on the way back to the palace after King Yan kills the Beidi dead men.

At that time, King Yan must have neglected to take precautions, and the chance of success is very high.

Of course, even if the two ambushes ended in failure, he was not without some benefits.

He achieved the goal of destroying Pingjun and Liaojun.

It doesn’t matter whether the two pawns Xue Pan and Zhu Rong live or die.

The rich families of the two counties would surely be afraid that King Yan would use this to cleanse them, and fled to Fanyang with their private soldiers and wealth.

In this way, the two counties would have no officials, and King Yan could not govern at all.

And he benefited from these wealthy families who fled, and his strength is bound to recover a little.

In short, no matter what he does, he will not lose money, which is why he encouraged Xue Pan and Zhu Rong to assassinate King Yan.

What’s more, there are Beidi people supporting him behind this matter.

Like his idea, Beidi people also want to use all means to hinder the growth of King Yan.

Make him use any opportunity to deal with King Yan.

…

Yanwang Mansion.

When Zhao Xu came back, he called Liu Fu and Chang Wei over.

Tell the two about the Hongmen Banquet.

“It turns out that these days, they have been pretending to numb us. It’s really hateful.” Liu Fu pinched his waist, feeling extremely annoyed.

Thinking of Xue Pan’s flattering face when he was in Pingjun, he suddenly felt sick.

Chang Wei frowned, “They are nothing more than Yuan Li’s two dogs, and it was Yuan Li’s fault in the end. The emperor and powerful clans left Yuan Li to check and balance His Highness in Yanzhou. It’s a shameful move.

” Raising his fist, he continued: “The Yuan family will not be destroyed. I’m afraid I will continue to think of ways to deal with His Highness.

” It is the soldiers who come to block the water and cover them with earth, and sometimes they should be given color, so they must be given color.” Liu Fu looked angry.

Zhao Xu nodded. In the past, he was saving a little face for Dasong Chaotang and the emperor.

But they are so insane, there are some things, he doesn’t have to pay attention to their feelings.

This Yuan family, he must clean it up, so he will not pay attention to their checks and balances.

“The Yuan family will naturally have to deal with it. This king will always keep an eye on the Yuan family and attack whenever there is an opportunity. But right now, since they make the first move, we will follow up first.” Zhao Xu said.

Hearing this, the two looked at each other and smiled.

Chang Wei looked at Zhao Xu at this moment, “Just using the royal family’s army, it will definitely scare the snake, and I’m afraid that the Yuan family will stare at the royal family’s army at this time.”

“Well, this is indeed a matter.” Zhao Xu said.

Without the royal family’s army, he went to the banquet, basically tantamount to going to die.

But if Xue Pan is frightened away by dispatching the royal army, the affairs of the two counties will have to be dragged on.

After pondering for a while, Liu Fu suddenly said: “Your Highness is confused. Didn’t there be a common way to deal with the Zhang family before?”

Zhao Xu immediately understood, Liu Fu’s meaning was still to use the method of stealing.

The people transporting grain and grass went in, and a group of soldiers came out.

He naturally thought of this, and he snatched it up in advance.

“Exactly, in this way, both people and armor and weapons can be brought out.” Chang Wei said, he also thought of this old method.

Zhao Xu nodded. He called Liu Fu over this time for other purposes.

“Leave the soldiers to Chang Wei, and you have other tasks. Now you immediately send some officials to the countryside to let the people watch the road. If there are unfamiliar faces, report them immediately.” Zhao Xu said.

The Yanwei had limited personnel, and he was worried that Tsui Hark could not count the number of assassins and neglected some details.

So prepare to mobilize the common people to follow.

For the people on his land, he is going to launch the spirit of “hundreds of millions of people, hundreds of millions of soldiers, thousands of miles of camps”.

In his view, only by allowing the common people to fully participate in the defense, construction, and development of Fengtu can the four northern counties become prosperous and powerful in such a harsh environment.

To put it simply, he has no one to rely on except the people of the four counties.

“Yes, Your Highness.” Liu Fu replied yes.

In the last autumn hunt, the people were fully mobilized to fight tunnels, and many Beidi soldiers were killed.

The relationship between the palace and the people has become closer.

And we will continue to strengthen this connection with the people in the future.

The three agreed on this matter and acted separately.

The next evening.

Yancheng went east to Li Village, Li Er stopped at the entrance of the village, looking thoughtfully at the three people who left in a hurry.

As night fell, the hustle and bustle of the day disappeared without a trace, turning into silence, with only a few dogs barking in the village.

The moon hung on the treetops, and under the silver moonlight, it left mottled light on the ground. When the whole village seemed to be asleep, three black figures sneaked past the path in front of the village.

“My mother, it’s so late, and there are still people rushing on the road, something will happen.” Li Er, who was hiding in the haystack, muttered.
