Xie Xun opened his mouth and came, "My second brother and I have had a tacit understanding since we were young."

Lin Heli, "..."

Feng Yu couldn't help but glance at him, and thought to herself, the second young master doesn't want to have a heart-to-heart with you.

Lin Heli was really curious about why Xie Xun could receive the news. No matter how he calculated the time, Tingfeng should not be in Zhongzhou, unless Xie Xun sent the news back to Ningzhou when he knew Tingfeng's life experience.Tingfeng had time to plan, but how did he spread the news? When he wrote to Ningzhou, all the city gates in Jiaozhou were closed.

How to spread the news?
Lin Heli's eyes fell on Feng Yu. The third girl knew that Lin Heli had a strong sense of oppression, so she acted as an invisible person beside Xie Xun. She and Xie Xun's secrets were not afraid of being leaked. Several people close to her knew the reason. Xun has given death orders, they must strictly abide by them, and they don't need to talk about them at ordinary times.Lin Heli will not know their secret.

The three of them were silent, and no one spoke. The matter had come to an irreversible situation. Whether it was Lin Heli or Xie Xun, they all knew that it would be useless to talk too much.

Xie Xun has made up his mind.

Lin Heli said, "Zhixu, if you don't kill me, the twelve prefectures will be happy for themselves this winter. The imperial court has already issued strict orders, and commerce and food will be cut off."

When Feng Yu heard that the river transportation in Zhongzhou was cut off, she thought that the food in the Twelve Prefectures would be cut off. Now she was not shocked. Xie Xun asked with a sneer, "So, the imperial court plans to give up the Twelve Prefectures?"

"Because of the geographical location, it is easier for the Ningzhou iron cavalry to control the twelve states than the imperial court. If a peaceful agreement cannot be reached, the imperial court will either run out of food, give up completely, or send troops. As you know, neither Ningzhou nor the imperial court can send troops in the current situation. , no one wants a civil war, it is better to give up than to spend money and material resources to fight for the twelve states with you."

"It's so easy to say, the country is abandoned as soon as it is said, and the Ningzhou Iron Cavalry has been stationed at the border for so many years. Why can they fight for decades, and the northern barbarians cannot enter the country? It is because the Ningzhou Iron Cavalry has a firm belief that if we violate our border, we will be punished even if it is far away. We will not yield an inch of land in our country." Xie Xun said lightly, "The imperial court will give up the twelve states, and we will never!"

"Zhixu's words are so good and unreasonable. If you want the Twelve States, you can't ask the imperial court to support them?" Lin Heli said mockingly, "If the Twelve States are under the control of Ningzhou, Yanyang and Ningzhou will be separated by the Beihe River. Commerce and trade are independent. It is impossible to supply food from the south to the twelve states all the time, after all, the imperial court also needs to prepare for war and needs food."

Feng Yu lowered her eyes, the twelve prefectures have been abandoned for so many years, if the commerce and trade were cut off, how many people could be retained, a large number of wealthy gentry might flee from Jinzhou, leaving the poor and white twelve prefectures to Ningzhou iron cavalry.

Yanyang occupies the most affluent Jiangnan in the world, and the most dangerous Zhongzhou. It has arable land and cash crops. The twelve prefectures are already barren, so they have to give up. The imperial court does not need to support grain every year, and the treasury does not need to allocate funds. As far as the imperial court is concerned , maybe still let go of the burden.Lin Heli should know from traveling around the world that the Twelve States are not a burden.

Many years ago, the Twelve States were very rich and had the most abundant mineral resources in Yanyang. If the Twelve States were really burdensome, Lin Heli would not risk his life to come to Jiaozhou.

Without commerce and food, the Twelve States will have a few years of suffering, but in the long run, if you kill one thousand enemies, you will lose eight hundred.

Lin Heli was just fooling around.

"Then each depends on his ability!" Xie Xun was also very tough, "If I can't feed and clothe the citizens of the twelve states, I don't deserve to own it."

Feng Yu held Xie Xun's hand comfortingly, and gently rubbed against his palm, don't worry, there are me and Second Young Master!We'll get through this.

Lin Heli closed his eyes and stopped talking to Xie Xun. This was the first time he resisted talking to Xie Xun.

Zhongzhou.

When General Chen Ming received Xie Xun's letter, he was furious, "He actually held Lin Heli hostage? How dare he? Xie Jue is not in my hands, what can I exchange for him?"

Lin Heli was about to die, and Zhongzhou's officialdom would also be implicated.

"Send troops to find Xie Jue right away, and dig three feet to find Xie Jue!" Chen Ming sent people to search from house to house, and he must find Xie Jue. He even suspected that Xie Jue was not in the city at all, but the smoke bombs released by the Su family business. .

"The people who rounded up the Su family firm that day did indeed see Xie Jue. They participated in the battle in Ningzhou and recognized the second son of the Xie family. They were absolutely right. He is in the city and he came to prepare food and grass. Now he must be Where are you hiding?"

General Chen Ming frowned. He had searched the city, but couldn't find Xie Jue. Where could he be?

"General, Little General Fang and Xie Jue grew up together and have a very strong relationship. Could it be..." Some people tentatively mentioned Fang Chuning. Fang Chuning has a special status, and they dare not talk about it without conclusive evidence.

"Have you searched his mansion?"

Chen Gui said, "I searched, but found nothing."

"Go and search again!" General Chen Ming said in a deep voice, "We have dug three feet into Zhongzhou, if Xie Jue is in the city, I don't believe he can grow wings and fly, the only one who is most likely to hide him is Fang Chuning. "

"But Fang Chuning is the handsome son after all, if..."

"What are you afraid of? The commander-in-chief will blame me. I will take care of it!!" General Chen Ming had a firm attitude, "When Xie Xun's troops approach the city, we must find Xie Jue."

If he couldn't find it, Xie Xun thought that Xie Jue died in Zhongzhou, and the consequences would be disastrous.

"Yes!" General Chen Gui took the order and took people to search Fang Chuning's mansion.
