Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 95

[Chapter 95]

“I asked you to come today because of the invasion of Beidi.” The

business of some merchants is a trivial matter after all.

Let Liu Fu and others complain, vent their anger, he spread the map of Yan County on the desk, and ordered all the county magistrates to come forward.

“This king has received the news that Beidi will go south soon, and the front cavalry will appear in Yan County in ten days at most.” Zhao Xu said.

Whether it was Yanwei’s secret security or the personal guards’ investigation, they all brought him basically the same news.

Large-scale troop movements are difficult to hide.

Or Bei Di didn’t intend to cover up at all.

During the autumn hunting in previous years, they also entered Yanzhou with great fanfare, looted, and left with great fanfare.

And Yanzhou has no power to stop them.

The Yuan family, who only cared about their own Fan Yang, disobeyed the imperial court in the matter of encircling and suppressing the Beidi people, and tried their best to preserve their own strength.

The most important duty of the Yanguan garrison was to guard Yanguan, so they could only send a small number of cavalry to drive out the Beidi people.

One year, before Mo Di arrived at Yanguan, the guard at Yanguan really couldn’t stand it.

Half of the troops were sent to fight fiercely with the Beidi cavalry in Qiushou in the counties of Yanzhou.

He never wanted to be seized by Beidi, and a large army came suddenly, almost throwing away Yanguan.

At this time, the guard of Yanguan realized that Qiushou from Beidi was not a purposeless plunder.

On the one hand, they are plundering people and supplies.

On the other hand, it is forcing Yanguan to move its troops out of Yanguan.

Once the number of Yanguan defenders decreases, they will launch a thunderous blitz.

After that, Emperor Zhao Heng was furious and sent the Yanguan guard to prison, and sent Mo Di to go to Yanguan.

At the same time, Mo Di was strictly ordered not to dispatch Yanguan soldiers to participate in Beidi’s autumn hunting unless ordered by the emperor.

The Yuan family is only required to deal with the Beidi people’s Qiushou.

But this allowed the Yuan family’s power to expand wantonly in Yanzhou.

However, Mo Di is worthy of being a famous general.

With the example of the former guard, he would not dare to send troops in Yanzhou to deal with Beidi people.

But he adopted the strategy of attacking instead of defending, and fought back once.

After Beidi assembled soldiers and entered Yanzhou, he immediately led 50,000 troops and went straight to Beidi king’s tent.

Upon hearing the news, Beidi immediately withdrew most of its troops to respond.

But when they went back, Mo Di withdrew back to Yanguan.

Since then, the people of Beidi have also dared not come out in full force every autumn hunting.

Invisibly alleviated Beidi’s damage to Yanzhou.

“Ten days, so fast.” The faces of the county magistrates were ugly.

Especially the magistrate of Wu’an County.

There are seven counties in Yan County, and Yan County, which is where Yan City is located, is located in the center.

Of the remaining six counties, three counties are in the north of Yancheng and three counties are in the south.

Among them, Wu’an County is the northernmost, and every year Beidi people cross Yanshan Mountain and will always be the first to appear near Wu’an County.

Therefore, Wu’an County is the poorest county in Yan County.

The remaining two counties in the north, Zhu County is in the southeast of Wu’an County, and Yishui County is in the southwest, forming a corner with Wu’an County.

“What? Scared?”

Zhao Xu saw the faces of the county magistrates.

Liu Fu has always told him that Yanzhou people’s fear of Beidi is deeply rooted in their bones.

This time he believed it.

However, he did not blame these officials, because they cannot be blamed.

“I’m not afraid of Your Highness’s jokes, but my subordinates are indeed afraid.” Wei Yang, magistrate of Wu’an County, said.

He is a child of a poor family and was arranged by Liu Fu in Wu’an County.

Sighing, he said: “It’s not just the lower officials, but most of the people in Yanzhou are afraid. Every year Beidi invades, and everyone in Yanzhou is in danger. The cavalry always arrive late after the Beidi people have plundered, and they even kill the good and take the credit, Your Highness, no one can protect the people of Yanzhou.” The

other officials were silent when they heard this.

They have experienced this, and they feel the same way as Wei Yang.

“So, in fact, what we are afraid of is not Beidi people, but being abandoned again and again.” After Wei Yang finished speaking, he finally looked at Zhao Xu with burning eyes.

Yes, Yan County has indeed undergone great changes since King Yan came.

This change made them happy, and it was also the reason for them to follow King Yan.

It’s just that there is one last doubt in their hearts.

After all, King Yan is a prince, just a vassal sent here by the court.

If the situation takes a turn for the worse this time, will King Yan stick with them to the end?

Still the same as the Yuan family, abandoning the people, and pretending to rule here again after the Beidi people left.

“Hahaha…”

Zhao Xu suddenly laughed, he was very happy, at least Wei Yang told the truth.

Before the war broke out, it was good to expose the trust problem of Yan County.

The laughter stopped, and he said seriously: “Isn’t this king abandoned and thrown to Yan County? It can be said that this king has nothing but Yan County. Abandoning you is different from abandoning yourself. Since you are worried, This king will issue a military order with you, and anyone who escapes before the battle will be killed with this sword.”

After finishing speaking, Zhao Xu took down the saber hanging on the wall.

This is King Yan’s exclusive sword.

“Liu Fu, I will leave this sword to you.” Zhao Xu put the sword in the hands of Liu Fu who had been silent all this time.

“Your Highness, this…” Liu Fu’s hands trembled slightly.

His eyes were slightly red, and he suddenly knelt in front of Zhao Xu, “Your Highness, I’m guilty of a crime, you shouldn’t doubt Your Highness.

” It is indeed too bitter, the powerlessness of the imperial court in Yanzhou, and the domineering Yuan family in Yanzhou make people feel a little chilled, it is normal for you to have doubts at this critical moment of life and death.” Zhao Xu said.

Liu Fu usually looks like a sycophant in front of him.

But Zhao Xu knew very well that this kid had great ambitions to make a living for the people.

This time his silence was the same as that of other officials, with anxiety and suspicion.

Now he gave the sword to Liu Fu, giving him the power of life and death.

He can definitely kill the escaped officials, if he really escapes, with the courage of this kid, he would really dare to kill him.

Because his original intention of following him is the beautiful blueprint he drew.

If he really escaped, his faith would collapse, and he would definitely go crazy.

“Your Highness is righteous, and the officials and others will swear to follow His Highness to the death.”

Zhao Xu’s actions shocked the hearts of all the county magistrates.

From ancient times to the present, he has never heard of or seen a vassal king cutting off his rights to his subjects.

Even if King Yan is like this, what else can they say.

The fear in each of their eyes dissipated, slowly revealing a firm determination.

Liu Fu stood up, with guilt still on his face, “Your Highness, after the autumn hunt, I will leave the officials to His Highness to deal with.”

Zhao Xu frowned, “Stop talking nonsense, do you think this king is really because you know how to deal with it?” Did you become Wang Fu because of flattery? Or are you the best flatterer in Yan County? Now let’s talk about how to resist the people from Beidi, you’re so verbose like a bitch.”

Liu Fu’s forehead was sweating instantly . Out.

He nodded again and again, “Yes, Your Highness.”
