Become a feudal king from today

Chapter 73: The oriole is behind

"The man finally entered the Zhang family's mansion, and then several others came out and kept wandering around Beidaying."

The palace.

Xu Hark reported what he saw to Zhao Xu.

"Your Highness, this matter is too strange." Xu Lie frowned, "Be careful of fraud."

Zhao Xu nodded slightly.

When Xu E told him the news, he hesitated.

After all, if the information was wrong, it wouldn't matter if it was an empty trip. If it was a trap, his losses would be great.

"There is a problem with the Zhang family letting people keep an eye on the military camp. It seems they have concluded that soldiers will be dispatched from the Beida Camp." Zhao Xu touched his chin.

If the Zhang family only monitors him, there is no need to send people to Beidaying to keep an eye on him.

This made him even more suspicious that there was a trap waiting for him.

Thinking of this, he immediately sent someone to Beida Camp and called Chang Wei and Lu Chang over.

"This is indeed very strange."

After Zhao Xu told Chang Wei the information about Tsui Hark's investigation, he frowned.

"Your Highness, are you too cautious? The Zhang family's spies are everywhere in the city. It's not surprising that there are a few of them in Beida Camp. If you miss the opportunity for this, I don't know when you will have another chance next time."

Lu Chang learned that there was a battle to be fought, and he was very excited, but now he was poured cold water on him, and he was very unwilling to do so.

Everyone was silent. Lu Chang's words were not unreasonable. So far, these were just their speculations.

"It's really troublesome, Your Highness. Let's just give the general two thousand elite soldiers. The general will raid Zhang's house and bring Zhang Kang for torture." Lu Chang suddenly became impatient.

Chang Wei glared at Lu Chang. This guy was a good general, but he was too impulsive.

Zhao Xu paced, lost in thought, and then said: "If my guess comes true, and the Zhang family has people staring at Beida Camp, they must want to see how many people I will send, so that they can arrange their manpower. In this case, Let's lie to them again just like we did with the last assassination."

For him, even if he couldn't catch the Zhang family's smuggling this time, it was still an opportunity to wipe out Qingfeng Village.

The Zhang family was afraid that the entire Qingfeng Village force would be used to ambush him.

"I'm afraid it won't be easy. The Zhang family failed last time. They will definitely keep an eye on us this time." Chang Wei said.

Zhao Xu smiled strangely, "I have my own way. In two days, Lu Chang, you will send a thousand soldiers to Qingfengkou at night, and I will secretly send another three thousand soldiers out of the city."

Chang Wei thought for a while and guessed King Yan's intention.

If this transaction is fake, then let Lu Chang lure the enemy.

When the enemy is gone, he can lead the remaining three thousand men to support.

However, he still couldn't imagine how King Yan could conceal the truth and make the Zhang family think that King Yan only sent a thousand elites.

While he was thinking about it, Zhao Xu spoke again, "Chang Wei, Beida camp is running out of food and grass."

"Yes." Chang Wei said subconsciously, suddenly stunned, and then smiled knowingly.

"Tonight, you send people to the warehouse to transport grain and grass, and I will prepare three thousand civilians to replace the soldiers."

"Yes, I will obey your orders." Chang Wei was delighted. This was true and false.

If the Zhang family can be made to relax their vigilance, he has four thousand elites at his disposal, and even the three Qingfeng Villages will not be afraid.

After discussing some details, Zhao Xu asked the two to go back.

Then he called Liu Fu and asked him to secretly send his confidants to the royal estates around Yancheng to recruit civilian workers.

Let these civilians disperse into the city without attracting attention.

Before dark.

The civilian husbands arrived one after another. When night fell, Yancheng was shrouded in darkness. The civilian husbands entered the courtyard of the palace's warehouse to gather one after another.

Not long after, a team from Beidaying arrived to transport grain and grass.

When returning, the soldiers stayed behind and replaced them with an equal number of civilians and returned to Beida camp.

Zhang family.

There was a man standing in front of Zhang Kang, describing the transportation of grain and grass in Beidaying.

"Have you seen clearly how many people went out and how many people came back?" Zhang Kang asked.

During the last assassination, King Yan used food and grass to hide his troops in the palace. He had a long memory.

"The little one counted them carefully, and there is no shortage of them." The man said.

Zhang Kang nodded, feeling a little relieved.

Then, he said: "You continue to stare, don't be careless."

Two days passed again.

The man entered Zhang's Mansion again at ten o'clock in the evening and said, "Sir, a thousand soldiers from the Prince's Mansion have gone to Qingfengkou."

"A thousand? Hehe." Zhang Kang sneered several times.

Entering the secret room, he told Tuoba Lie about what happened at Beida Camp.

In the past few days, Tuoba Lie has been in Zhang's mansion to plan this matter.

"A thousand armored soldiers?" Tuoba Lie frowned, "That's enough to deal with your Qingfeng Village."

Zhang Kang was secretly unhappy when he heard this, thinking that you look down on the strength of my Zhang family too much.

After pondering for a while, he said: "The two thousand warriors from Beidi are also coming with the cavalry this time. They should be more than enough to deal with these one thousand people."

He stood up and walked out, and said: "I have to go to Qingfengkou myself and let them ambush you. Just ask the people from Qingfeng Village to deliver the things."

Zhang Kang said in surprise: "Your Majesty, won't the transaction be terminated? What if something goes wrong?"

"What's there to be afraid of with just a thousand people? Hum, what could possibly go wrong with my Beidi warriors here? That Chang Wei's 500 cavalrymen were beaten in half by one of my Beidi scouts, you guys are praising them so much." The soldiers are nothing more than trash." Tuoba Lie's eyes were full of disdain, "When the Khan puts an end to the civil strife, he will send his troops south and destroy Da Song like a slap in the face."

"Yes, your Excellency is right." Zhang Kang showed a flattering smile, "At that time, I hope that your Excellency will not forget the contribution of my Zhang family."

"That's natural, but not only Yan County but also Yanzhou will be entrusted to your Zhang family." Tuoba Lie looked proud.

After saying these words, Tuoba Lie put on his cloak and sneaked out from the Zhang family's small door.

Looking around, he saw something quiet in the darkness, so he turned around and disappeared into the darkness.

He just left.

A black figure walked out of the darkness, looked in Tuoba Lie's direction, and followed.

After a while, a man came out of Zhang's house and disappeared into the darkness.

And another black figure appeared behind the man and followed him away.

They are Tsui Hark and his son.

at the same time.

In Fushi Village, Yancheng, the three thousand soldiers hiding here put on brand-new armor shipped from the War Department.

After giving the order, Chang Wei led his soldiers to march day and night to Qingfengkou.

Two days later, the sky was filled with stars and moon at night.

Chang Wei arrived at Qingfengkou.

This is a straight-shaped valley with a narrow mountain road in the middle and dense mountains and jungles on both sides.

Because it was night, even if there was moonlight, the woods were dark.

According to the plan, Lu Chang's men ambush on both sides of the valley, while he hid on the north side of the mountain.

Once he encounters the enemy, he will lead troops to support Lu Chang.

According to Tianxianglou, tomorrow morning will be the time for trading.

Then you can get a glimpse of the authenticity.

After staying up all night on the mountain, Chang Wei woke up at dawn the next day.

After letting the soldiers eat the dry food they brought with them for two hours, they suddenly heard the neighing of horses in the valley.
