Chapter 539;

"This Lord Zhen is really a villain."

Twenty miles north of Beiluo City, there is the Beichu Army Camp.

Lieutenant General Ma Yuan cursed and looked unhappy, while the general Ge Zhao who was sitting in front of him this time had a calm expression on his face.

"It was agreed at the beginning, let's pretend to send troops, and he will be responsible for all expenses, and will also offer three cities around Beiluo."

"What about now? We didn't tell you the cost, and even the city is still going to be fought by ourselves."

"General, what does the king mean? This time we obviously suffered a loss, why is he not angry at all?"

Hearing this, Ge Zhao glanced at him lightly and said, "It's not that I'm not angry, it's that it's not yet time."

"Let's let him be proud first, let's not confront them with all our strength, just fight and stop like before, save our strength, and talk about it later."

Regarding Duke Zhen Guo's original promise, to be honest, Bei Chu didn't fully believe it at all.

The reason why they sent troops to cooperate with him was nothing more than seeing the internal problems in Dongzhou and wanting to take this opportunity to make Dongzhou mess up first.

As for why they don't attack now, it's because the Northern Chu attacked Xirong, and they won't be able to gather too many war supplies for a while.

It takes time to prepare, and once Bei Chu is ready, it will be time to attack.

"The subordinates are very angry. When the Duke of Zhen was a well-known hero in the past, even though we have been hostile, but the subordinates also admire him as a man in their hearts. Now the subordinates know that they are really blind."

Hearing this, Ge Zhao just smiled lightly.

He and Zhen Guogong can be regarded as old rivals for many years, and he once felt that this is a character.

However, as the other party became the Duke of Dongzhou Town, he discovered that this person was very treacherous, a hero?Not at all.

He only has himself in his heart. What is the situation of Lord Zhen Guo now? He knows very well that he cannot protect himself. What can he not do to protect himself?
"My lord, what exactly does Beichu mean?"

In Beiluo City, Duke Zhen frowned when he heard his subordinates' words.

He also had some things that he didn't want to understand recently, and he was already like this, so why didn't Bei Chu make any movement?

All the things he had prepared were useless.

This doesn't look like Bei Chu's style at all.

Although he couldn't figure it out, he was still very vigilant in his heart. Bei Chu was afraid that there was a bigger conspiracy waiting for him.

"Whatever they mean, the north is now our territory, so keep an eye on it, no matter what conspiracy they have, we will not be passive."

"My subordinate understands."

"However, why is there no movement in the capital?"

Hearing this, Lord Zhen's eyes turned cold, and he was full of displeasure when he mentioned the capital.

"Does he dare to move? There are so many people in my country's hands now."

"However, the Duke of this country did not expect my good nephew to hand over the military power of Gyeonggi so easily. He is really a softie."

Speaking of King Ning, his voice was full of murderous intent. When he was in the capital, he looked at what King Ning did, and his fighting power was simply beyond the charts.

As a result, as soon as he left, King Ning withered, and directly handed over the military power to Emperor Hongwen.

Allowing the other party to completely control the capital is tantamount to cutting off his way back in the future, although it is highly unlikely that he will go back.

But if the land of Gyeonggi is not completely controlled by Emperor Hongwen, for him, the chances in the future will be greater.

Now it's a lot of trouble, and now some of his original people have turned to Emperor Hongwen.

Once he slowly builds up a defense system, I'm afraid it will be more difficult for him to get close to the capital in the future.

In the capital, Lu Yaoyao still paid attention to the information sent back from various places every day, but did not find anything special.

And the north side was also very stable. Such stability made her feel something was wrong.

The attitudes of Bei Chu and Lord Zhen Guo are somewhat unreasonable.

"Miss, King Jin has a letter."

"Huh? Bring it in quickly."

Not long after, Qiu Shuang walked in quickly from the outside with the letter.

After receiving the letter and unfolding it, after reading it, Lu Yaoyao raised his brows, and the things that he had some doubts just now were revealed in an instant.

"It turns out that this is a good opportunity."

"Qiu Shuang, take a trip to the capital and invite the person in charge of the Luo family's capital to come over."

Qiu Shuang stepped back, and she got up and went to the study, quickly wrote a letter and handed it to Qiu Yu.

"You take it and send it to grandpa, so that he must do what I say."

Qiu Yu nodded and quickly retreated with the letter.

"Hou Si."

Swish!
Immediately, a figure appeared in front of her.

"Inform Gu Jian and let him take people directly to the north. I will send some things over there, and he will be on standby there. Once King Jin takes any action, all Heiyunshou will fully cooperate."

Hou Si also retreated.

About an hour later, Qiu Shuang came back with the person in charge of Luo's capital.

"I have seen Princess Wanfu."

"Mr. Luo, there is no need to be too polite. Please sit down. I have invited you here rashly. I have a business to talk to you about."

Hearing this, the person in charge of the Luo family nodded with a smile. His Luo family also made a lot of money from the last cooperation.

"If the princess has any ideas, just ask."

"I need food, a lot of food."

As soon as these words came out, the face of the person in charge of the Luo family froze slightly, and it took him a while to say in embarrassment; "Princess, if you need food, the Luo family will naturally support it, but I don't know how much the princess needs?"

"30 taels of silver."

As soon as these words came out, the person in charge of the Luo family became even more embarrassed.

"I'm sorry Princess, we can't offer so much, and now we can only offer 5 taels of silver at most."

Lu Yaoyao frowned, feeling that this person was joking with her, there was no famine in Dongzhou this year, not to mention a bumper harvest everywhere, but there would definitely be no shortage of food.

As the largest grain merchant in Dongzhou, the Luo family can only produce 5 taels of silver, which is simply a joke.

"To tell the truth from the princess, the Luo family has goods, but they can't sell them, otherwise the Luo family will not have a good time in the future."

As soon as these words came out, Lu Yaoyao became even more puzzled, why can't the goods be released?

Life will not be too good.

Seeing that she didn't understand, the person in charge of the Luo family thought for a while and said, "The princess should know about the north, right?"

"Well, wait."

"You won't be stockpiling grain and preparing to give it to the court at that time, right?"

Lu Yaoyao's eyes widened. She had seen this kind of money-making for the country during the severe drought.

"No, no, princess, you misunderstood. My Luo family didn't mean that, and my Luo family is in a long-term business. Although I can do this kind of thing, it still has time."

"But Dongzhou is not only my Luo family, there are many others."

Now Lu Yaoyao understood that the Luo family was afraid that they would release too much grain, which would cause problems in the price of grain in the future, and they would offend many aristocratic families and businessmen.

If so many people are offended, the situation of the Luo family will be terrible in the future.
