The king behind the empress

Chapter 379 The War Will Begin
In Xiangcheng, Pingzhou, Mo Zizai took Tang Weilu to find a small lake with a nice view outside the city to fish.

Of course, as the nominal controller of Dazhou, it is impossible to travel in such a shabby way. Besides the two of them, there are about two hundred guards. These people are to protect their safety on the one hand, and to arrange for convenience on the other hand. Take a look at their travel trivia.

However, Mo Zizai did not let them face the martial law under the sun like in the TV, but let them disband and play by themselves. After all, it is so close to Xiangcheng, and there is Tang Weilu, it is impossible for anyone to hurt them. To him, so there is no need to let these people suffer this outside.

"Damn it, what are those fishermen trying to figure out every day?"

Mo Zizai was holding a fishing rod made of dragon grain wood with both hands, and he almost broke the fishing rod, but he didn't see a single fish.

In the previous life, I saw those fishermen who were almost crazy about fishing one or two. I thought that there must be something interesting in the sport of fishing. As a result, he came here all morning and didn't even see a single fry. On the other side of the lake, Big fish kept jumping out of the water, as if they were provoking him, which made him even more depressed, who was unable to catch fish in the first place.

"Xiaolu, why do you think I can't catch any fish?"

Depressed and very uncomfortable, he threw the dragon pattern pole aside, this bad sport is not suitable for him.

"Because there are no fish coming here."

There is a small box next to Tang Weilu, which is filled with all kinds of food. Mo Zizai is fishing here, and she is not bored while eating here and watching Mo Zizai fishing.

At this moment when Mo Zizai asked her, she gave the answer without hesitation. After all, Mo Zizai restrained her inspiration in order to experience the fun of fishing, so she couldn't feel the situation of underwater fish, but she didn't need to fish. So see clearly.

Originally, there were fish in this place, but since Mo Zizai sat down, those fish all ran away, and no one dared to approach.

According to Tang Weilu's perception, those fish were probably afraid of the fishing rod in Mo Zizai's hands?
But even though she could see why no fish came over, she didn't know how to fish and thought that Mo Zizai was here to sit and play, so she kept silent.

"???"

Hearing Tang Weilu explain the reason, Mo Zizai had a question mark on his face, "The problem with the fishing rod, can't it?"

The fishing rod I use is polished from dragon-grain wood. According to the fisherman in the previous life, this is the best match. How could it be a problem?
The so-called dragon pattern wood is a unique tree in Dazhou. After this kind of tree is cut down, the sun-dried wood has natural patterns like artificial carvings, so it is called dragon pattern wood. There is a more important feature, that is, like agarwood, it has a faint fragrance. It is the top wood and is very valuable.

Wait, Qingxiang...

Mo Zizai seemed to have thought of something, raised his hand and picked up the fishing rod, put it on his nose and smelled it, the scent of the dragon pattern wood that was soaked in water became more intense at this time.

"Is it because of the smell?"

Thinking of this possibility, Mo Zizai felt very helpless, so he brought a fish-driving guy to fish, if he could catch it, there would be a ghost.

"Forget it, forget it, stop fishing."

Mo Zizai put away the fishing rod a little depressed, "Broken fishing rod, I will give it away later."

"No more fishing?"

Hearing Mo Zizai's words, Tang Weilu, who was eating snacks, regained her spirits in an instant. She ate all the snacks in her hand, then stood up, and raised her hand facing the lake.

"Bang~"

With a sound, a small cloud of water exploded on the surface of the lake, and then a carp as thick as an adult's arm was caught by Tang Weilu from the air.

"This fish is so stupid, it just turns around here, and I've been staring at it for a long time."

Tang Weilu held up the carp that was still wagging its tail, and ran up to Mo Zizai happily, "Brother Mo, can you eat it for lunch? Grill a big fish!"

"..."

Mo Zizai looked at the big fish in Tang Weilu's hand, and then at the fishing rod in his own hand. After a moment of silence, he made a new decision in his mind, "Forget it, let's put it on the ball."

Under the skills of the accompanying chef, this two-foot-long carp was quickly roasted deliciously. Of course, since it was done, it was not just this one. After catching this fish, Mo Zizai let Tang Weilu He conveniently "caught" a bunch of fish and made the chef work a little harder, and distributed one to each of the guards who were still staying behind.

A group of people soon began to feast on the lake. If you ignore the ancient costumes they were wearing, they really looked like they were out for a picnic.

But not long after they ate, Yang Yanzhang came to find him.

"Well, Yanzhang, why are you here?"

Mo Zizai looked at Yang Yanzhang in surprise. He was fishing by the lake to be lazy. As early as a few days ago, the new officials selected by Yang Weishang were already in place. After they took office, they began to implement the New Deal in an orderly manner. It's all up to them.

And the most important thing is that among these new officials, there is a big boss, that is Li Ao, the left servant of the Ministry of Officials. He was sent to Pingzhou to control the overall situation.

And it was with his arrival that Mo Zizai had time to get out of those messy things in Pingzhou, and go out to fish or something.

"Sit down and eat some grilled fish first."

Mo Zizai knew that something serious must have happened, otherwise Yang Yanzhang would not have come to look for him in person, but he was not in a hurry, he first asked Yang Yanzhang to sit down, and then asked, "What happened?"

"It's a question of taxes."

Yang Yanzhang glanced at the stone on the ground. Although it wasn't dirty, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. After hesitating again and again, he decided to just stand here and talk.

"Yuanling County was the first to collect all the taxes a few days ago, and then transported them to the capital with great fanfare. As a result, halfway through the journey, the money and food were suddenly robbed."

"Have been robbed?"

Mo Zizai laughed instead of anger, he is the only one who robs people these days, and there are still people who dare to rob him, it's really reckless!
One must know that Yang Yanzhang had broken through to the Golden Body Realm a few days ago, and now he is considered number one among the top generals, which can be regarded as making up for the last shortcoming of the Yuzhi Army not having a top general.

Of course, just after Yang Yanzhang's breakthrough, Mo Zizai also used the disconnection and reconnection function to upgrade himself to the golden body state.

In other words, in terms of strength alone, there are now two top generals in the Yuzhi Army, six first-rate generals, and the five thousand bone-forging Chiyan Dragonriders can barely be regarded as second-rate generals. As for the remaining [-] A soldier of the Royal Imperial Army who is famous in the refinement realm, he can barely be regarded as a third-rate general.

In such a situation where all the members are military generals in terms of strength and there is no soldier, Mo Zizai feels that he takes care of the overall situation and is conscientious enough not to bully others. Is there any reason for this?
"Which grandson robbed it?"

Mo Zizai said murderously: "Dare to touch my money, I want to let him know how many eyes Prince Mo has!"

"Forehead……"

Yang Yanzhang paused for a moment, and then said: "You did the robbery, at least that's what Yuanling County said..."

"Ok?"

Mo Zizai was taken aback for a moment, but then he quickly reacted, and his tone became even more annoyed, "You mean, Yuanling County wants to use this method to get rid of the tax?"

"more than."

Yang Yanzhang shook his head, and said, "According to the spies from Yuanling County, a new young man has arrived in Yuanling County, who has directly replaced the sheriff of Yuanling County in charge of the military affairs of Yuanling County. According to the investigation by the spies, this There is a hidden force behind people."

"It turns out that someone is behind the scenes. I said why Yuanling County is so bold all of a sudden."

Mo Zizai thought for a moment, and then asked, "Is that hidden force the one that attacked Uncle Tang back then?"

In Mo Zizai's view, only the person who designed to deceive Tang Shuyu back then had the ability to control a whole county silently.

"Probably."

Yang Yanzhang nodded, confirming Mo Zizai's guess, and then said: "According to Bai Changqiu, who was in command of the Iron Guard Army before, and this person who newly appeared in Yuanling County, some clues to this force have been found."

"Who's behind them?"

Mo Zizai showed a look of ferocity on his face, "You have repeatedly shot at the imperial court, but you can't kill him. Do you really think we are vegetarians?"

From when Tang Shuyu was ambushed before, to the Iron Guards before and now Yuanling County, Shan Mozizai knew that this person had shot three times. to kill him.

Seeing Mo Zizai with killing intent on his face, Yang Yanzhang looked a little embarrassed, "It's Situ Yao from Qianjiang County."

"Oh, Qianjiang County."

The killing intent on Mo Zizai's face froze for a moment, and then his expression returned to normal, "That's all right..."

If it was any other place, no matter how far away it was, Mo Zizi would dare to lead his troops straight in and fight there, but Qianjiang County, a poor place, really couldn't do it.

The geographical location of this bird place is very similar to the Shu land in Mo Zizai's previous life in ancient times. Li Bai once said that the road to Shu is difficult, and it is difficult to go to the blue sky. How difficult it is.

In Mo Zizai's view, Qianjiang County is even worse than Shu, and even more exaggerated.

Entering Qianjiang County, there are only a few mountain roads, and even in key places, these mountain roads will merge into one. On that kind of precipitous mountain road, let alone a large-scale march, even passing by a single person is risky. To be more exaggerated, even when the monkey passed through those dangers, he had to be full of energy.

And the most important thing is that on top of these mountain roads, many grand passes were built. In ancient times, the Jiange in Shu was guarded by one man, and no one could open it. Now there are seven grand passes in Qianjiang County, which are as important as Jiange’s geographical location. .

How do you hit a place like this, with your head?

Thinking of the environment in Qianjiang County, Mo Zizai felt a bit of a toothache. No wonder this bastard didn't show any trace at all. It turned out that he was hiding in Qianjiang County, and it was indeed quite secretive there.

Now with the strength in his hands, all the Red Flame Dragon Riders who are in the forging state can walk on the mountain roads of Qianjiang as usual. Of course, the premise is that they don't ride horses.

But just because they can leave, doesn’t mean that the food transport team can also leave. There are only 5000 people in total. If they rely on them to transport food and fight at the same time, that’s a fart.

So even with his current strength, Qianjiang County will be a big deal for a while.

"Damn, old turtle."

Mo Zizai cursed angrily, and then thought about it for a while. Conservatively, he estimated that if he wanted to capture Qianjiang County, either all of the [-] Yuzhi troops had cultivated to the bone-forging level, or all of the [-] Red Flame Dragon Riders would be defeated. Cultivate to the level of marrow washing.

However, the latter would take much longer than the former, so Mo Zizai felt that it would be more reliable to let the Yuzhi Army go to the Bone Forging Realm.

Of course, Mo Zizai could use his life to fill the gates of Qianjiang County regardless of the loss. With an army of [-] warriors, as long as he was not afraid of losses, he could destroy Qianjiang County directly if more than half of them died at most.

But in Mo Zizai's view, there is no need for this. Most of the Yuzhi Army is already at the refinement level. With the addition of the accelerator, these people can improve in a few months at a short time, and in a year or a half at a long time. Go to the Bone Forging Realm, and then attack Qianjiang County.

After all, with an accelerator in hand, wouldn't it seem that the accelerator is useless if it is forced to be filled with human life in a war?

"Forget it, Qianjiang County will leave him alone."

Mo Zizai shook his head, and said, "We are not strong enough now. When we become stronger, we can free up our hands to crush him to death."

"Then how to solve it in Yuanling County?"

Hearing Mo Zizai say that Qianjiang County should be left alone, Yang Yanzhang breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued to say, "Everywhere now thinks that we have robbed Yuanling County's taxes. Even if we explain it, no one will believe it."

"So this matter..."

"Explain, explain what?"

Mo Zizai snorted coldly, "It's all on my head, what more explanation do you want?"

Mo Zizai, who was a little upset because he couldn't enter Qianjiang County for the time being, said directly: "Let the army prepare, prepare food and grass, and march to Yuanling County."

"Didn't he say that I robbed their taxes? Okay, I'll let them know that I not only rob taxes, but also kill people!"

Mo Zizai's face was a little cold, "I left some buffer time for shameless things. I wanted to take my time, so as not to lose too much. In the end, I was forced to do it now."

"Since you want to die so much, then I will fulfill you."

Seeing that Mo Zizai was really angry, Yang Yanzhang didn't say anything more, and responded with cupped hands: "Here!"

"and also……"

Mo Zizai suddenly remembered something, and said, "Isn't the new guy from Yuanling County related to Qianjiang? Keep an eye on him!"

"Last time, I didn't pay attention and let Bai Changqiu run away. This time, this person must stay."

Although Mo Zizai didn't know what relationship this person had with Situ Yao, since he was sent by Situ Yao to take charge of the overall situation in Yuanling County, he must be valued by Situ Yao. Let's talk about one arm.

"Don't you just want to use the power of the family to consume the power of the Yuzhi army? Okay, let me let you take a good look at what it means to support war with war."

Mo Zizai looked in the direction of Qianjiang, and said silently in his heart: "I hope that when I go to Qianjiang County with an army of all bones forging, you bastard will not be scared to death!"
