Chapter 334 Do You Have Anything to Tell Me?

Not to mention that su mianyue and the other three traveled all the way to Huizhou City, where Shangguan Pei was. Shangguan Pei, who was watching the art of war, was interrupted by his own request. Fortunately, he wore a mask and could not see the frown on his face.

His own soldiers sped up and drove Wanyan Lin into battle. And in five days' time, they would be able to arrive in Jianzhou City. He also informed them of the recent movement of many caravans in the direction of jianzhou city.

Shangguan Pei leaned forward slightly and tapped his fingers on his knees before asking, "Can you find out the details of the grain dealers? How much grain has been transported into Jianzhou City in total?"

In order to avoid the fear of the people of the Hengyuan, Shangguan Pei did not ban commercial travel and ordinary people after occupying the city, but he was more strict in this area.

However, grain and grass were always sensitive items during the war, so few caravans dared to sell grain and grass at this time. If they were not careful, they would be arrested as spies or traitors.

Mu Tinng was also supportive of Shangguan Pei's actions, and several of the cities that he fought in were occupied by the officials of the pure stream faction sent by Mu Tinng, which was why Shangguan Pei did not interfere in these matters even if he did not involve himself in power.

"According to the soldiers guarding the city gate of Linzhou City, more than 200,000 tons of grain have been transported to the direction of Jianzhou City in the past month, and the transport has been more frequent in recent days. A month ago, there were also caravans selling grain in and out, and each month there were about 10,000 tons or more."

"What about the other cities?" Shangguan Pei asked with a frown.

"No news has been sent," the soldier replied.

"Pass down the order and inform Linzhou City, mengzhou city and huaizhou city at once. From this moment on, no grain, grass, weapons, horses, iron and other weapons shall be circulated to the Hengyuan. If there is a private licentious person to be dealt with according to military law, all state officials shall cooperate fully with this general and be ready to go to war at any time. If you have any objections, you can submit a letter of complaint to the emperor." After Shangguan Pei gave the order, the deputy general came to discuss the battle with the crowd.

Wanyan Lin marched on his own and would never reach Jianzhou City without sending out his troops to give the Tianlan a chance to restore their vitality. What Shangguan Pei was most worried about was that he could only stand in one city. Wanyan Lin would know where he was before the war started, and if he attacked several other cities, he would not be able to take charge of the whole situation.

And even if Shangguan Pei could make it there in time, who could guarantee that it wasn't Wanyan Lin who put up the suspicion?

It was not that Shangguan Pei did not have a single general, but these cities were not the territory of the Tianlan after all, and not all the people were willing to submit. In order to avoid the panic of the people, there were still officials of the Hengyuan in the city.

When su mianyue and Ji Xun arrived in Jianzhou City, Shangguan Pei had already issued three military orders, not only appointing several capable deputy generals to garrison the other three cities, but also dividing the 200,000 troops that he had brought into the city into four, and ordered to strengthen the training of the soldiers' cold resistance these days.

Shangguan Pei's order was actively coordinated by his subordinates, but it also brought panic to the four cities. The people were most looking forward to a peaceful life, but now the only ones suffering from the war again were them.

"I think wan yanlin will choose to attack the city where Shangguan Pei is stationed." After listening to Shangguan Pei's arrangement, Su Mianyue spoke slowly. Seeing Shangguan Pei and Ji Xun looking at him, he had to explain: "Whether Wanyan Lin is a villain or a hypocrite, he will not lose face in front of the overall situation. If even General Shangguan does not dare to challenge him, even if he takes back the city, it will be a disgrace for his life. This does not fit with his style of doing things."

"I support Mianyue's point of view, but I have to be careful that Wanyan Lin has other plans. This time he's prepared, I'm afraid it's going to be a tough fight." Shangguan Pei's face was heavy, but the masked man could only see his face through his eyes.

Ji Xun remained silent for a moment before saying, "On this expedition, Wanyan Lin has replaced all his entourage with his close confidants who had been through life and death with him in the Tianlan. It's not easy to find out about him. I'm not worried about which city he's going to attack, but rather about the dirty methods of the person behind him."

Ji Xun's words made Shangguan Pei and Su Mianyue cautious. Although Shangguan Pei knew that the delivery of food and grass was bound to have something to do with Wanyan Lin's daring to start a war, he did not know that Wanyan Lin was cooperating with people.

Su Mianyue explained to himself when he saw Shangguan Pei looking at him. Shangguan Pei remained silent for a moment and asked, "I feel that they have nothing to do with the Yulin. The country they want to invade most is the Tianlan. If they support Wanyan Lin and the Yulin, it will be most beneficial for them to fight against each other."

Ji Xun and Su Mianyue nodded, which they had guessed on the way, but there was no evidence and no conclusion before.

Regardless of whether it was the Yulin or other countries working with the Hengyuan, it was not a good thing for the company, and even the next one would affect Ji Xun's plan.

"I once asked my brothers from all over the world to check the Yulin. All I knew was that there was a coup at the Yulin and that Seventh Prince, who had not been taken seriously since the crown prince was deposed, was crowned crown prince. In one night, he became rich from a poor country, and that the current monarch only focused on the cultivation of immortality. Now the crown prince is in charge of the government and is mainly in the military." Ji Xun hesitated for a moment before informing Shangguan Pei of the information he had secretly obtained. It was also the first time he had mentioned it in front of Su Mianyue. "Not only that, but this Seventh Prince has just taken over the government. He has a firm relationship with the heads of many small countries around him, and even has a vague intention of becoming king."

"Is that Gu Changqing Seventh Prince's son?" Su Mianyue asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Yes." Ji Xun nodded and glanced at Su Mianyue, not saying anything.

Su Mianyue took the hint and said, "A small country, even if the seventh prince has the ability to make a lot of money, he won't be able to make a small country willing to take Yulin as the leader. I'm afraid that Seventh Prince's network of connections, which he has been operating secretly for many years, is just like the original Gu Qinglin. In fact, they are all his lackeys. But it's not enough money to get these powerful people to work for him. Wasn't Gu Qinglin still trying to restrain money for the Yulin?"

"I don't know." Ji Xun shook his head. Although he had some clues, it was inconvenient for him to say them.

Shangguan Pei did not pursue it. After all, it was the Yulin's business, and it was normal for Ji Xun to know that something bad was going to happen. He closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, but he did not say another word.

Seeing this, Ji Xun and Su Mianyue left together and went back to the temporary residence. Su Mianyue took the door and sat down with Ji Xun to talk.

"I once saved a pair of Yulin sisters, and they volunteered to serve me and declared that their identity was the daughter of the abandoned prince. Now they are settled in a small town in the Tianlan. They are always ready to return to revenge, but there are not many useful clues for me. However, your subordinate, Si Jingjie, had a very good relationship with a woman named Mingzhu. Biwu was injured by Si Jingjie, and he also abandoned a secret post for me. This woman named Mingzhu was the son's daughter, but her two older sisters said she was an accomplice to the prince's death. Do you have anything to tell me? Su Mianyue held his chin and looked at Ji Xun, waiting for him to explain himself.
