Chapter 40
Taiyuan City, State Shepherd's Mansion.
A man with thinning hair and a goatee was pacing back and forth in the hall of the State Shepherd's Mansion, his face full of anxiety and boredom.
He is Xu Yichuan, the shepherd of Mozhou.
Not long after, a servant ran over: "Lord State Shepherd, a letter from Cangzhang County Magistrate!"
"Bring it!"
Xu Yichuan quickly took it to check it, and saw that the Zhenbei Army did not capture Cangzhang County, but only surrounded Daohulu Mountain with a large army, and he was slowly relieved.
"Your Excellency, are you a little scared?"
A soft voice came, and Xu Yichuan looked up. The speaker was dressed in a Confucian shirt and had a gentle face. It was his chief aide and son-in-law, Chen Zipeng.
Chen Zipeng was walking in from outside the hall, Xu Yichuan took two steps to hold his hand.
He asked the messenger to leave, leaving only two people in the hall.
"My son-in-law, the Northern Army, Su Yuan, is so worried about me!"
Xu Yichuan is over fifty this year, and it is already the year of knowing his destiny.
He has been cautious all his life, and he managed to get the state shepherd's seat with great difficulty, and the marriage affairs of his son and daughter have been settled, and his future is boundless.
The rest is to spend your old age in peace.
He just bought a batch of dancers from Beirong Kingdom a few days ago, thinking that "the old man is talking about teenagers", but a letter from Zhang Yuandong directly made him wilt.
Su Yuan, the son of Su Tufeng, the King of Zhenbei, suddenly raised his troops to rebel, occupied Beifeng City, and killed Princess Jiuyang.
Since receiving this news, Xu Yichuan has not been able to sleep well.
You know, although Beifeng City is not under the jurisdiction of Mozhou, it is indeed within the territory of Mozhou.
This means that if the Holy Majesty wants to crusade against Su Yuan, he must order Xu Yichuan, the governor of Mozhou Prefecture, to raise troops!
At first, Xu Yichuan was very excited, thinking that it was time to make military achievements.
He didn't take Su Yuan seriously at all. From his point of view, Su Yuan had at most several thousand or ten thousand soldiers. At that time, Xu Yichuan only needed to send his son to lead the troops to attack Gongsun Kuo's northern camp. Su Yuan can be easily destroyed.
only……
It never occurred to him that there was no movement in the capital.
He waited for more than half a month, but he still didn't wait for the imperial edict to crusade against Su Yuan.
Second, I didn't expect that Su Yuan's momentum was getting stronger and stronger.
Especially with the news just received today, the Northern Xinjiang camp was actually breached by Su Yuan!The coach Gongsun Kuo was directly captured alive, and most of the tens of thousands of soldiers under him surrendered to Su Yuan directly!
This made Xu Yichuan unable to sit still any longer, and the initial contempt was completely gone, and now all that remained was fear.
If Su Yuan handles the Northern Xinjiang camp well, will he then attack Mozhou?
To him, the state shepherd of Mozhou, Xu Yichuan did something?
Even the elite soldiers of the Northern Xinjiang Camp are no match for him, let alone the soldiers of the Muzhou State Shepherd's Mansion...
"Hehe, why is Yue Zhang so nervous." Chen Zipeng said with a smile.
Xu Yichuan saw that he had a confident face, and asked in surprise: "Could it be that the good son-in-law has a good plan?"
"It's not a good strategy, but don't forget, my lord. Beifeng City is just a small city. How can there be so many food supplies for the army? The food and grass of the northern Xinjiang camp were indispensable in previous years. We only need to cut off the supply. The war is chaotic."
Xu Yichuan's eyes lit up when he heard the words: "That's true!"
The tens of thousands of soldiers in the northern Xinjiang camp practiced all day long and did not do production. They could be said to be professional soldiers.
But professional soldiers not only need military pay, but also food and drink, which requires a lot of energy supply.
What they eat in a day may be worth what ordinary people eat in two or three days.
With so much food consumed, only a small Beifeng City cannot supply it.
In previous years, Su Tufeng had to buy a batch of grain through the five major families, mainly three foreign families headed by the Zhang family.In addition, Mozhou is also responsible for supplying a batch.
Only in this way can we support the huge consumption of the northern Xinjiang camp.
Now everything has changed, the five major families have all been captured by Su Yuan, and Mozhou will no longer provide him with food and grass.
"The food problem of tens of thousands of soldiers is enough to give this kid a headache, haha!" Xu Yichuan felt much better after thinking about it.
"Yue Zhang, don't be too happy." Seeing Xu Yichuan's complacency, Chen Zipeng poured another bucket of cold water.
"What does your son-in-law mean by this?"
"Yue Zhang knows it when he thinks about it. So what will Su Yuan do if he has no food to supply his soldiers? He will definitely send troops to invade and plunder the city of Mozhou. Just as Yue Zhang worried before, then Su Yuan's next attack target may be It is the cities of Mozhou."
"This..." Xu Yichuan's heart sank, "Can I, Mozhou, resist? There are also seventy to eighty thousand soldiers in Mozhou's prefecture. If there are more forceful conscripts, tens of thousands more can be pulled out."
"If you take precautions in advance, it will not be a problem to resist Su Yuan."
"With the words of my virtuous son-in-law, I feel at ease!"
Xu Yichuan was very relieved of Chen Zipeng.
Not only because Chen Zipeng is his right-hand man and has an extraordinary mind.Even more because they are a family, Chen Zipeng married his second daughter, who is the son-in-law of his Xu family.
Moreover, the Chen family is also a rich and noble family in Mozhou, and Chen Zipeng is a leader of the younger generation of the Chen family. Xu Yichuan is naturally very satisfied with having such a son-in-law.
He took Chen Zipeng's hand and said, "Son-in-law, it's up to you to resist Su Yuan's invasion this time."
"My son-in-law will do his best."
"Well, Zipeng, you are the number one talented person in Mozhou, and you are quite easy to deal with a little Su Yuan."
Chen Zipeng smiled wryly when he heard the words, and shook his head: "Yue Zhang, my son-in-law is not the most talented person in Mozhou."
Xu Yichuan was surprised when he heard the words: "Who else can it be if it's not a good son-in-law?"
Chen Zipeng thought for a moment, and said seriously: "In terms of talent and learning, in this Mozhou, my son-in-law only admires one person. That is Lu Wuyou."
"Lu Wuyou..." Xu Yichuan thought for a long time before he remembered, "Is it that unfilial son of the Lu family?!"
"This...exactly." Chen Zipeng nodded in embarrassment.
In this Mozhou, there are many powerful families, among which Xu, Chen, Lu, and Che are the top families, and there are dozens of families under them.
The top rich families all have officials and nobles, so Xu Yichuan is a scholar from the Xu family, and with the support of the Xu family, he sat on the seat of Mozhou State Shepherd.And Chen, Lu, and Che also control Mozhou in their respective fields.
Among them, the Lu family is a family of merchants, and the "Lu's Banks" opened throughout Mozhou. The Lu family has a huge amount of money and a wide range of financial resources, which is unimaginable.
But in this generation of Lu's clan, there is one Lu Wuyou.
Xu Yichuan showed a look of disgust: "My son-in-law, you are talking nonsense. Then Lu Wuyou disregards his family fortune, spends his days in the land of love and moon, and drinks like his life, so he will soon be expelled from the Lu family. Such a libertine, Or the number one genius in Mozhou?"
Chen Zipeng smiled wryly and didn't explain much.
He knew that in the eyes of an old man like Xu Yichuan, an unfilial person would not be talented. Unfilial piety and talent are almost incompatible characteristics.
Just at this time, the government soldiers sent a letter from the capital.
When Xu Yichuan saw the black peach blossom inkpad on the envelope, his heart shuddered.
The black peach blossom ink pad is exclusively used by Fu Chengyang, who is nine thousand years old. This letter came from the capital, so it was naturally sent by him.
