Chapter 745: Act according to plan and issue military orders

Although sealing Tongshan Pass violated the original treaty, King Chu Jiang already had the heart to rebel. Who would care about that ghost treaty?

Once Chujiang County's finances suffered losses or were severely damaged, King Chujiang would not dare to act rashly even if he wanted to rebel.

As a time traveler, Lin Yun knows the power of economic coercion better than anyone else.

After all, in this feudal dynasty, the common people have not yet been able to solve the problem of food and clothing. Therefore, even if there is a slight problem in the economy, the people at the bottom will be most directly affected.

The people are the basis of a political power. As long as King Chu Jiang is not an old fool, he will definitely understand this simplest truth.

Shi Bao cupped his fists and said, "General, I will go back to order the troops later. Does Lin Zhongtang have any other instructions?"

Lin Yun stood up and came to him, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile: "General Shi, can you give me another face?"

Shi Bao couldn't figure out his true intention at all, and said with a guarded look: "The last general only knows how to lead troops to fight, and I'm afraid he can't do anything else!"

"Hey, of course I won't make things difficult for General Shi! I just hope that General Shi can turn their hostility into friendship with Xiang Chong..."

The door on one side was opened and Xiang rushed out.

He knew very well how much Lin Yun held grudges. If Shi Bao didn't know the depth and said something treacherous, Lin Yun might not say anything now, but he would definitely put on some shoes for Shi Bao next.

"Is it him? No! I can agree to everything else, but I can't forgive Xiang Chong! This old man is a bastard. If he hadn't escaped so quickly last time, I would have taken his head long ago!"

He has always claimed to be smart, but last time he was used as a spearman by Xiang Chong, and he inexplicably intensified his feud with the Chu family.

"Clap clap clap!"

Lin Yun was secretly happy and raised his hands to applaud.

When Lin Yun returned to Yun Mansion last night, he had been waiting for this challenge for a long time.

It is said that you should never hit someone with a smiling face, and the Eight Wise Kings did not want to lose face. For the sake of the prince, he could submit to Lin Yun, but he still cares about Xiang Chong?

Lin Yun didn't ask him to do this, but Xiang Chong had been hiding in the door just now and eavesdropping. With his intelligence, how could he not understand Lin Yun's intention of asking him to show up?

It was also Xiang Chong who told him that the Eight Sage Kings would definitely visit in person today.

Xiang Chong knelt on the ground with a pop, clasped his fists and said, "Eighth Prince, General Shi, I will apologize to you two!"

No one likes to be treated like a monkey, especially a commander with a bad temper like Shi Bao.

This shows that this Chong is indeed a capable counselor.

At this time, the Eight Wise Kings said displeasedly: "Okay, Shi Bao, let's forget about that!"

In fact, the former Wu Di was also the most promising person of the Eight Wise Kings, but unfortunately he failed to save him in the end, which also made him aware of Lin Yun's grudge.

Shi Bao glanced at the Eight Wise Kings blankly, and could only submissively say: "Since Lin Zhongtang and the Eighth Prince have spoken, then the general should be more respectful than obey his orders, and no longer argue with that conflict!"

As he spoke, he knocked his head to the ground.

His face softened slightly and he said: "Mr. Xiang, please get up! I said last time that I won't argue with you anymore!"

And this Shi Bao was a confidant that the Eight Wise Kings had cultivated for many years, and he couldn't bear to be harmed by Lin Yun.

As soon as the Eight Sage Kings and Shi Bao saw Xiang Chong, there was a hint of murderous intent in their eyes.

Xiang Chong smiled awkwardly and looked at Shi Bao, who was still silent.

Lin Yun saw this and secretly sighed that this charge was bad enough.

The Eight Wise Kings asked him to get up, but he watched Shi Bao's reaction. If Shi Bao refuses to give in at this time and dares to say anything, it will hurt the face of the Eight Wise Kings.

And with the cleverness of the Eight Wise Kings, he naturally saw through Xiang Chong's intentions and immediately frowned.

But fortunately, Shi Bao's reaction was not slow, and he said in a deep voice: "Since the Eighth Prince doesn't care about you, then I have nothing to say, General! However, Xiang Chong, I, General, can warn you, this time you are watching Between Lin Zhongtang and the Eighth Prince, if you dare to harm this general again, you will be killed!"

"That's right! Thank you to the Eighth Prince and General Shi for not remembering the villain's fault! I will definitely not do stupid things again!"

Lin Yun said with a smile: "Okay! Now that the previous grudges have been resolved! I now announce that General Shi Bao will be the commander of the blockade of Tongshan Pass this time, and Xiang Chong will be the military advisor! If you two can't defend Tongshan Pass, you can Don’t blame me for turning against you!”

Shi Bao and Xiang Chong quickly knelt down to accept the order.

"As ordered!"

Afterwards, the two stood up and left.

Although they still despise each other, military orders are more important than anything else, and they can only put aside their previous grudges.

Without the outsiders, the Eighth Sage King said: "Lin Yun, why don't you discuss it with the emperor? Just order the blockade of Tongshan Pass? That is the chokepoint of Chujiang County's trade, and the other side will never give up!"

Lin Yun joked: "Don't worry, Eighth Prince! I will give an order on a certain day to have Niubei Village transport a batch of arms capable of arming 30,000 people. Unless he, the King of Chu Jiang, is crazy, he will definitely ask for help." And!”

If he didn't have this confidence, he would not participate in the fight between the emperor and the queen mother.

The raid on Prince Gong's Mansion last night was a helpless move for him, but the decision to block Tongshan Pass was something he made up his mind after careful consideration for a long time.

If you don't do this, how can you force King Chu Jiang to negotiate?

How could he sell arms privately without negotiation?
Without allowing King Chu Jiang to taste the sweetness of hot weapons, we cannot promote the overall military reform of the Daduan Dynasty.

Once this policy is implemented, Lin Yun's Niubei Village will make a fortune.

All forces that want to reform their military and expand their armaments must spend money with him.

This is Lin Yun's ultimate goal.

Only when he became rich enough to rival the country would Lin Yun be qualified to touch the supreme throne.

The Eight Wise Kings stared at him with a scrutinizing face and murmured: "Something's wrong! Lin Zhongtang, are you hiding something from the outside world?"

Lin Yun said playfully: "Eighth Prince, can you stop being so prejudiced against me? I am doing this because I am dedicated to serving the court, and I am sharing the emperor's worries!"

"Huh, that's the best! I will always keep an eye on you. If you harbor evil intentions or have other shady intentions, I will definitely not let you go!"

He wanted to tell Lin Yun directly not to covet the power of his Li family.

But when the words came to his lips, he didn't dare to say them out.

He said that it wouldn't hurt Lin Yun much now, but it would make Lin Yun hate him, which would be of no benefit in the future.

Lin Yun nodded and smiled: "Okay! Now that the Eighth Prince is staring at me, I will be safer with the emperor!"

"Forget it! Let's not mention these things! Lin Zhongtang, we are the only ones here, so stop pretending. Now everyone can guess that you sent someone to do what happened at Prince Gong's Mansion last night! Honestly, Have you developed a new weapon?"

Lin Yun smiled mysteriously: "Don't the Eighth Prince know me very well? Can't you guess it?"

"I do know you, but I'm not sure! If it's true, are you willing to sell it?"
