Chapter 831: Continue to Send Troops
"Your Highness, Prince Qin, do you think there is anyone else who can make me, Yuan Tiangang, say something I don't want to say?"
Yuan Tiangang crossed his arms, showing his arrogance.
His look made Li Cunxi silent for a long time.
He felt this was a huge problem.
"Could it be that you have been influenced by Emperor Taizong, Emperor Gaozong, and His Majesty?"
"No, no, no, it should be that His Majesty was influenced by me." Yuan Tiangang was very proud.
"That makes sense. But have you ever thought about this: if we really kill all the noble families in the 19 states of Jiangdong, wouldn't every noble family in the world be in danger?"
"Your Highness Prince Qin, do you mean to kill him yourself?"
"You old man, you deserve a beating, but I have to admit that you are right. I don't need to kill them one by one. I have a group of people who have infiltrated the Nineteen Prefectures of Jiangdong."
Luo Binwang felt a chill on his back. Looking at Li Cunxi and Yuan Tiangang, he felt unwell.
These two people together are really in cahoots!
He always talks about killing all the noble families in the 19 states of Jiangdong. If he really did that and it got out, Li Cunxi would become enemies with all the noble families in the world.
Thinking of this, Luo Binwang quickly stood up and clasped his fists.
"Your Highness, Prince Qin, you absolutely cannot do this. If this gets out..."
Li Cunxi smiled faintly and said, "No one in this world will know that it was me, Li Cunxi, who did this."
Luo Binwang swallowed his saliva in disbelief.
There are so many aristocratic families. If we don’t mobilize the army to wipe them out, who can kill them one by one?
"Your Highness the Prince of Qin, isn't this too dangerous?" King Luo Bin broke out in a cold sweat.
"These aristocratic families have been occupying farmland and harboring people since ancient times. Just kill them, what's the point of saying that?" Li Cunxi crossed his arms. "Besides, I will only kill the aristocratic families from the 19 states of Jiangdong who are plotting treason. Any aristocratic families from other states who oppose me are rebelling, so I can continue to deal with them."
After saying that, Li Cunxi picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.
He then said, "Besides, these people died under the rule of the pseudo-Wu regime. No one can prove that I killed them."
Ma Rong just came in from outside and bowed to Li Cunxi.
"Your Highness, Long Feng and the members of the Iron Snake Group have been settled in Cuiping Mountain, Huzhou."
The hiding place of King Yue’s treasure is Cuiping Mountain in Huzhou.
There was not only Li Cunxi's capable subordinate Pei Xianxian, but also Zhao Wanquan and more than a hundred skilled fighters.
"Let them gather together. Pei Jun will make the plan first. Let's start in Huzhou. Remember to go from house to house. Don't leave anyone behind. Move everything into Liujiazhuang. Tao Gan will become an imperial merchant in the future, and he will need a lot of money."
"clear."
"This is..." Luo Binwang was stunned, "Pei Rongxian is actually your Highness's man?"
"Is this strange?" Li Cunxi asked back.
Ma Rong turned around and left, mounted his horse and headed for Huzhou.
"Your Highness the Prince of Qin's ability is truly rare." Luo Binwang had nothing to say. He praised him and sat down again.
"Then what about the aristocratic families in Yuezhou? If they grit their teeth and squeeze hard, they can still raise some private armies." Yuan Tiangang raised his eyebrows.
"Since we've decided not to attack Shanyin for now, let them live a little longer while we go to Changzhou and cause chaos."
"Changzhou?"
……
Yuezhou, Shanyin County.
In the palace.
Wu Sansi smashed everything he could see to the ground.
He was breathing heavily, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was filled with murderous intent. At the moment of his rage, he killed the messenger who came to report the news with a sword. The messenger's body fell on the throne room, and the smell of blood and anger were intertwined.
"Fang Ruhai, you are such an incompetent person!"
“You are incompetent!”
He was filled with resentment.
A whole 50,000 elite troops of the Zuo Yingyang Guard were completely wiped out!
Their Great Wu had only 200,000 battle-hardened soldiers. Not only did they lose 50,000 of them, but they also failed to completely eliminate Li Kaigu.
If Li Kaigu had died, the 100,000 or so Yuqin Guards would have been wiped out, but Li Kaigu was still alive, and there were still tens of thousands of Yuqin Guards among the 100,000 or so.
If we want to deal with these people, we can only continue to send people to fight.
"Prime Minister, His Majesty is angry. Why don't you wait a little longer?"
"Even if Your Majesty is furious, this Prime Minister will still see you! This is a matter of life and death. How can I protect myself just because Your Majesty is angry?"
"Prime Minister!"
"Get out of my way now!"
Wu Sansi suddenly raised his head and looked outside the hall.
Lin Yongzhong kicked the young eunuch aside and then ran in holding his robe.
The Prime Minister of Wu, who was "loyal" to him, rushed in fearlessly even though he had to face his wrath.
"His Majesty!"
Lin Yongzhong came up to Wu Sansi and bowed.
"Your Majesty, please calm down your wrath for a while!"
"I have already learned that the General of the Cavalry was defeated and died!"
"But right now, the most important thing is not to discuss whether General Fang Ruhai is incompetent. What we need to consider is how to stop Li Kaigu's victorious army of tens of thousands!"
Wu Sansi dropped his sword, feeling extremely powerless.
He fell to the ground and looked at Lin Yongzhong dejectedly.
"Yongzhong, tell me, what's your plan?"
"Your Majesty, I don't have a plan, but I know that General Fang Ruhai has taken away a large amount of food and fodder. Our reserves are running low. If we want General Zhao Dacheng to lead the army, we must ask the noble families for more food and fodder."
When Fang Ruhai left, he took away half a month's worth of food and fodder for the 50,000-strong army.
After his defeat, all the food and supplies were used by Li Kaigu.
Although Li Kaigu won a miserable victory over Fang Ruhai, he obtained a large amount of food and grass and had sufficient supplies. If he bypassed Li Xiaoyi and headed directly for Shanyin, Wu Sansi's throne would be over.
"My dear, what do you think I should do?"
"Order General Zhao Dacheng to take the remaining food and immediately rush to the Wenzhou border with General Li Xiaoyi to guard against Li Cunxi, Zhang Renyuan, and the thief Li Kaigu!"
"Okay, I'll give the order now!"
But a quarter of an hour later, Zhao Dacheng rushed into the palace.
At the emperor's instruction, the cavalry general of the Great Wu regime was about to embark on a journey to conquer Li Kaigu.
However, the remaining food and grass in the national treasury was only enough to feed Zhao Dacheng's 50,000 Right Eagle Guard troops for less than a month, and Li Xiaoyi of Jianzhou also needed food and grass.
Therefore, as soon as Zhao Dacheng left, Wu Sansi summoned all the officials and asked them to borrow grain.
For the sake of their future careers, these children from aristocratic families in the 19 states of Jiangdong began to donate grain to Wu Sansi.
Even those who regretted inviting Wu Sansi had no choice but to reluctantly give up and donate some military rations to Wu Sansi to support the 150,000-strong army.
However, with an army of 50,000, the daily consumption of food for men and horses is an astronomical figure, and these aristocratic families are also anxious.
