Chapter 513 Frontier (1 more)
The servants of the Duan Mansion were all threatened by Shen Yi and were not allowed to flee. If anyone who dared to flee was found by her, she would let them go underground to accompany their master.
So, although the servants of the Duan Mansion were terrified and terrified of her, they still stayed in the mansion to serve her, and no one dared to run away.
After Su Rong woke up, she heard Feng Ling say that Shen Yi had agreed to go to Nanchu with her. She nodded and wrote a letter to Yan Huisheng.
Shen Yi goes with her, the precious concubine in the imperial mausoleum will naturally die suddenly.
The dinner was very sumptuous, and the chefs in the kitchen showed their skills to serve the master who now lives in this section of the mansion.
Feng Ling enjoyed the food, and gave Shen Yi a thumbs up, "Senior Sister Shen, you are amazing, and you are very good at controlling servants. Look at the servants in this mansion that you have ordered in a short period of time, just like your own servants."
Shen Yi said lightly, "I have been in the palace for more than ten years, a mere section of the palace."
"That's right." Feng Ling nodded.
The palace is a place where people can eat people. It is not for everyone to be able to dominate the sixth palace in that place and make the empress shy away from her. Especially the current His Majesty, who is actually a dog, it is not easy to be pampered and coaxed by him.
"Eat more if it tastes good." Shen Yi looked at Su Rong, "You seem to have lost weight."
Su Rong was originally slender, and she used to look vulnerable, but now she looks like she could fall down when the wind blows.
Feng Ling answered, "My sister was seriously injured once. She almost died. She was chased and killed by Nangong Yu. Now she has just recovered from her injury and hasn't fully recovered yet."
"If you're tired, why not stay here and rest for two more days before leaving?" Shen Yi asked after hearing this.
"Let's go, walk slowly on the road, and take a carriage with you instead of riding a horse." Su Rong shook his head, "There is no trouble in Jibei City, so there is no need to stay any longer."
Shen Yi nodded, "All right!"
Anyway, since she is not waiting for Duan Xiao here, she is not willing to stay here either.
So, on the second day, early in the morning, Su Rong and Feng Ling left Jibei City in two carriages.
After they left, the servants of Duan Mansion were also liberated, and left Duan Mansion one after another.
Walking out of Jibei City for a hundred miles, the journey was very smooth. Feng Ling asked Su Rong: "Sister, does Nanchu think that no matter how many people they send, they can't kill you, so they simply gave up killing you?"
"Impossible, I just don't plan to send people to Daliang to kill me. I know I can't be killed in Daliang, so I don't want to lose it. I'll save my strength and wait for me!" Su Rong said: "When we step into the southern Chu territory from Daliang, you will see, the killers will come in droves."
Feng Ling was right when he thought about it, "Then their wishful thinking was wrong. According to the old man, they can only watch."
Su Rong narrowed his eyes, "If we borrow troops to go to Southern Chu, maybe we can not only let them watch, but also do something."
"What are you doing?" Feng Ling suddenly became interested.
"Pull out the hidden stake of the Nangong family." Su Rong said.
Feng Ling let out a hey, "Good idea."
He rubbed his hands and thought for a while, "About hidden piles, the person who is best at it is Zhang Yun, let him do it when the time comes."
Su Rong nodded, "Yes."
Shen Yi listened to the chatting between the two, and in a few words, she decided on one thing. She asked, "What borrowing?"
Feng Ling immediately told her that the old man suggested that his sister should bring 200,000 troops to Southern Chu, firstly for her use, and secondly to relieve the pressure on Daliang.
"Three hundred thousand." Su Rong corrected.
Feng Ling changed her words: "Yes, my sister said it might as well be 300,000."
Shen Yi smiled, "The old Huguo Lord has great foresight and foresight, otherwise he wouldn't have been feared by His Majesty for so many years."
She asked Su Rong, "Will the prince borrow it? Aren't you afraid that you will borrow troops and not return them?"
"Isn't it?" Su Rong is quite confident in her own character, will Yan Huisheng not believe her?
Shen Yi reminded her, "You have taken so many people to Nanchu, there is no guarantee that the prince will not think about the possibility of you taking it for himself in the future."
Su Rong thought for a while, then said "Hmm", "If he doesn't believe me, there's nothing he can do. Anyway, he can't afford so many soldiers at the moment."
"That's true." Shen Yi knew best that the Daliang treasury didn't have much money, "Then how do you raise 300,000 soldiers and horses? If the crown prince agrees to lend you soldiers and horses, why don't you take 300,000 soldiers and horses to eat the Nanchu treasury? When you first arrived in Nanchu, I'm afraid you won't be able to tolerate the Nanchu treasury."
"I have money." Su Rong said, "It's not a problem to raise him for a year or so."
After a year and a half, she has gained a firm foothold in Nanchu, and she will be able to use the silver taels of the Nanchu treasury.
"In fact, the Zhang family still has some money. Although Zhang Ping has raised 450,000 soldiers and horses, he has not only asked the court for military pay, but also collected money in northern Hebei. As far as I know, he has secretly mined a salt mine and resold fine salt. The two sons of the Zhang family, Zhang Mao and Zhang Yun, should know where the money is." "
"Is that hidden gold cave in the mountain behind the Great Buddha Temple belonged to Zhang Ping?" Su Rong asked.
"Yes, but you gave it to Donggong." Shen Yi looked at her.
"The East Palace needs money, and His Majesty has suppressed it a lot these years, and the crown prince has no way to make money." Su Rong echoed Yan willingly, after all, she still needs him as a backer, so what if he doesn't stand still? You won't regret it if you give it.
"Then ask the two brothers of the Zhang family? Since they have taken refuge in you, they should be willing." Shen Yi said: "If they are not willing, they are not sincere enough."
"It's sincere enough, it doesn't matter if you don't want to." Su Rong doesn't care, and she doesn't force it. Money is the foundation of living and living. Anyone who has money can feel at ease, anyway, she doesn't have money. Moreover, those people under her also know how to make money, as long as they don't start wars and spend a lot of military salary, she can afford it.
Shen Yi looked at her twice, couldn't help but smiled, and didn't say anything else.
The carriage was going all the way to the border, and when they came across a shop to stay in, while the three of them were slowly on their way, Zhou Gu had brought a hundred thousand soldiers to the border.
A secret guard reported, "There is indeed a change of soldiers and horses in the Great Wei, and 300,000 soldiers have been secretly deployed, and they are just waiting for the opportunity to move in the border city of the Great Wei."
Since the two sides signed a peace treaty sixteen years ago, it has been stipulated that the border between the two sides should not exceed 100,000 troops. The old Huguogong was seriously injured in the battle that year, and his sons had died in battle, and his grandson hadn’t grown up yet. Therefore, His Majesty asked the old Huguogong to bring 300,000 soldiers back to Beijing to garrison, and Zhang Ping sent 100,000 soldiers to garrison northern Hebei. Northern Hebei was not far from the border. A few days’ journey turned northern Hebei into a cordon, and only 20,000 soldiers and horses were left at the border.
Da Wei saw that Daliang was like this, and he also made almost the same military arrangement to show the friendship between the two countries and not to fight in the peace treaty. After all, the battle was fought 16 years ago too hard, both sides suffered heavy losses and needed to recuperate.
But now that sixteen years have passed, Wei's ambitions have resurfaced.
