When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

Chapter 403 Tide
  "Hey, why are you here?"

At night, in a hidden reed bush, a person suddenly walked in, frightening the Ji family boy who was hiding here.

"Stop talking, Jing, I seem to be being targeted."

The young man who broke in pulled the reed and looked into the distance, with more fear and uneasiness in his eyes.

"What? Being targeted?"

Jing, a young man in the reeds, looked to the outside in confusion: "Hong, what are you talking about?"

"It's just... I always feel that someone from the Xin family has discovered our movements. In the past few days, I want to take action, but there are always some strange people around me, and they always appear around me, seeming to be staring at me. Hold me."

Jing's face looked slightly heavy: "Then when you came in this time, didn't you expose me?"

"Don't worry, you won't be exposed." He shook his head, "There is an order from above, let us go out to explore the road first."

"You mean..." Jing's eyes were filled with joy, finally he no longer had to stay here and pretend to be dead.

"Let's go." He made sure again and again that there was no one around, and then asked Jing to leave.

Jing nodded, and quickly pushed out a small raft from the reeds. Then, regardless of the fact that the straw mat he slept on was wet, he quickly took Hideo and rafted away.

Standing on a tree where they left, a young man of the Xin family who was born in Lindi squinted at the direction they left for a while before returning to the Shunyi post.

The outpost is no longer a simple outpost, but a temporary command post. There are more than a hundred people stationed nearby, all of them young and strong men.

Lin Di informed Jing and Heng of the news that they were escaping on a raft.

"Who do you think he is?"

The person who spoke was surprisingly Liu Yuan who was transferred here to serve as the temporary camp officer.

After hearing this, everyone frowned or thought, but most of them still had answers.

An elder surnamed Yao scratched his head: "The news I got is just the spread of rumors.

After being tortured, several people confessed that there was a group of people who were secretly working on these things, preparing to steal our food when the harvest was complete so that they could spend the winter alone.

Could those two people have escaped? "

As soon as the inspector surnamed Yao said this, Liu Yuan didn't have much expression, but looked at the others.

"I think these people may have gone to find foreign aid." Xin Luo's voice sounded, suppressing many thoughts, "After all, we have so many soldiers and horses here, and there are several towns nearby, so we can respond quickly.

Knowing that we have a good harvest now, no one will choose to be stupid and come to confront us head-on. They will definitely use internal and external collusion. "

"How can this be done?" Yao Zhi looked ugly, "We must stop it! Catch these bastards who are cheating on them and put them to death!"

Yao Zhi's idea was also very simple. Xin's taro was being harvested now. Before Xin Qu left, he promised that as long as he brought his tribesmen from the nearby inspection department to help guard the harvest.

After the harvest is completed, the best taro vermicelli will be given to them by the clan for all their labor, four hundred kilograms per person.

But how to distribute it is up to him.

When Yao Zhi heard this, he was overjoyed and told his tribesmen that they would be given one hundred catties if they went there. He got a kickback of three hundred catties in one go.

If Xinqu hadn't been reaping the rewards now, and could provide him with food and shelter, these people would have come to mess with him long ago.

But after seducing him, he saw so many taros being harvested, and Xinqu told him to help defend him from the enemy.

No matter what happens in the end, as long as you successfully resist, three thousand kilograms of taro starch.

That's taro starch that can be stored for a long time. When cooking meat slices, you can even mix taro starch, ginger, etc. into it to make meatballs.

The refreshing taste and overflowing fragrance made Yao Zhi's mouth water and he will never forget it.

He must successfully resist, if he fails, he will suffer a big loss.

After all, Xin Qu’s price for taro starch was six times that of millet. Just one pound of taro starch could be exchanged for six pounds of millet. Three thousand pounds of millet, how long would he be able to feed all his subordinates with this inspection?

Not to mention other gains after the war started. But he must win and reduce enough losses, otherwise Xinqu will not reward him, but will punish him.

Seeing Yao Zhi being so excited, Liu Yuan smiled and said, "Okay, Yao is on inspection. The enemy is in the dark and we are in the clear. If you attack rashly, you will only scare the grass and scare the snake. Let's investigate more carefully."

"This... well, having said that, we still need to hammer it out in advance, otherwise how will we know how many rats are hiding in the ditch?" Yao Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly and said in surprise: "I said, you are also a young man, why? Don’t you have any motivation? Are you really not afraid that you will get away with the credit?”

"It's all about making plans, making decisions before acting, and thinking twice before acting. Now we can't even figure out who our opponent is, and if we act, we will easily become a target." Liu Yuan was not impatient and followed the lead, "However, since Yao's inspection If you have an idea, how about we cooperate and bring the undercurrent to the surface? When they come forward, we can do whatever we want, right?"

"What... do you want to do?" Yao Zhi raised his eyebrows and looked at Liu Yuan strangely.

Liu Yuan smiled: "They want to cause trouble, and they mostly investigate some terrain and trends. Isn't there a batch of goods ready to be shipped out recently?
  I will arrange for people to select these guys who move around frequently. I will divide them into two groups, but you will split up halfway. You will torture one group, kill one group, and then deduce what the other group said, and then let some people back... ...I will deal with it later. "

Yao Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly: "If you do this, the population loss will be considerable."

"Don't worry, it's normal wear and tear. The clan leader won't hold anything accountable." Liu Yuan said calmly, "It's not a big deal if they keep poking at you secretly. The undercurrent is most afraid of pushing hands. If you push it, the undercurrent will break through the water. Become a wave. Once you have a wave, it’s just a matter of looking for the drop of water in the center.”

"Okay, do as you say."

Yao Zhi took a deep breath, got up and went to work.

"Xin Luo, please mention the people according to the order, and say that we have to transport a batch of supplies tomorrow, but there are not enough manpower. Let them go to bed early, rest peacefully, and hit the road tomorrow."

"Yes."

Xin Luo took Liu Yuan's slip and went down to do some business.

After Liu Yuan held his chin and thought for a while, he raised his eyes and said to a young man huddled in the corner: "Aguang, take thirty good people and set up a checkpoint at Yubian Bridge, and pick up the person directly when the time comes."

"Understood." Aguang stood up, and a dozen people on his left and right followed him and left.

After finishing the arrangement, Liu Yuan slowly closed his eyes: "The clan leader just left, Xiao Xiao showed up, and although the disease of ringworm and scabies is not something to be afraid of, it is also a loss if it causes trouble.

If they really just want to escape from the rule of the Xin family, they should also be the nobles, elders, wizards, etc. of various tribes.

However, the wizards and elders were all taken to Changping by the clan chiefs. The nobles and clan chiefs immediately divided them into households and gave them enough food, cloth, cattle and sheep. Now they have no worries about food and drink, and they have nothing to do every day. Their reputation took a turn for the worse and there were many complaints.

How could such a person have the intention to destroy the harvest?
  It should be noted that the clan leader also promised them assistance and additional rewards after harvesting.

Even if you want to cause trouble, you can't do it so quickly. You have to wait until the end of October.

Therefore, so many clues strung together seem to point to one force.

Thistle's. "

Liu Yuan opened his eyes, and the expressions of the civil servants who had not left below all became serious.

Ji's? ! Could it be them?
  Liuyuan snorted softly: "I don't know about the others, but the Ji family have fought against each other several times.

Xu Zhui and Ji Shan are both smart people.

I can also deduce one or two of the Ji clan's purpose of disrupting the east side of the Youxin clan. It is nothing more than worrying that the clan leader's campaign against the Yourong clan is false and that he is trying to attack the east and attack the west. Therefore, they thought of striking first. "

"What about...the Shang clan in the south?"

"Them?" Liu Yuan heard someone ask cautiously and sneered, "They don't bother to do this, and they are far away from us, and they have not received news of their large-scale disaster.

It is true that even if they want to take action, they will lead their troops to rob it directly instead of sabotaging it secretly.

Don’t you think the secret solicitation rhetoric of this group of people sounds familiar? "

Only then did everyone remember the confessions of those who were caught: "Why do I think it's so familiar? It turned out to be the one used by the clan leader..."

After saying this, everyone suddenly understood.

There is only one person who has really been fighting with the Youxin family who has never surrendered - the Ji family!
  "Everyone performs his or her own duties. Since you have made a hypothesis, verify it carefully. If it is really from Ji's family, it can save a lot of communication costs."

"Yes!"
