At the beginning, I became a county magistrate with greed of 500 million. The empress asked me to be

"My Lords, I have a plan that will definitely make Xia Yun lose face in Gansu! Who knows, His Majesty might be so angry that he will issue an order to dismiss him from his position as Marshal!"

Huang Wen, the governor of Gansu, rolled his eyes and suddenly said something that shocked everyone present.

"Master Huang, what are your plans?"

The Shaanxi Governor's eyes lit up and he immediately became excited. If someone could drive Xia Yun out of Shaanxi and Gansu at this time, he would naturally be more than happy to do so!

However, just when Huang Wen was about to blurt out his thoughts.

Suddenly, Pei Xingyuan, who had remained calm until then, reached out to stop Huang Wen.

"My Lords, this is not the place to talk."

While Pei Xingyuan was speaking, he glanced vigilantly in the direction of Shuodong City.

"How about this, all the lords go back to Nanmo City with me first. If Lord Huang has any plans, we will discuss them with him."

At this point, Pei Xingyuan finally revealed his ambition hidden under his calm expression.

Among the people present, if we were to ask who was the most dissatisfied with Xia Yun, it would undoubtedly be Pei Xingyuan.

This time, the 300,000 barbarian troops invaded Shuoxi. Logically, it should have been led by the Governor-General of Shaanxi and Gansu.

However, the imperial court directly sent Xia Yun to serve as the Grand Marshal of the Imperial Court, and he was in charge of all the troops inside and outside the imperial court.

This alone was enough to make him dissatisfied.

Not to mention that half an hour ago, they were in the lobby of the county government office in Shuodong City, where they experienced Xia Yun's various orders.

"Master Pei is right. This is not the place to talk. We will follow Master Pei to Nanmo City first!"

"With the help of Lord Pei, I guarantee that this matter will be successful immediately!"

"..."

As Pei Xingyuan expressed his opinion, the other officials present showed excitement on their faces.

……

After a while, Pei Xingyuan left with an army of 50,000, and the large group of people headed straight for Nanmo City.

same moment.

On the city wall of Shuodong City, Xia Yun was watching Pei Xingyuan and his army leave.

Behind him, Qin Tianye, wearing a black helmet and black armor, had endless murderous intent in his eyes.

"General, in my opinion, Pei Xingyuan is narrow-minded. Even if he agrees to send troops to destroy the bandits, I'm afraid it's just talk."

Looking at the rolling dust raised by Pei Xingyuan's army as they marched away, Qin Tianye spoke in a deep voice.

Unexpectedly, when Xia Yun heard this, not only did he not show any worry in his eyes, but a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Pei Xingyuan is nothing but a pile of dried bones in a grave. I already know what he is thinking."

"Now the only thing we have to do is wait, wait for Pei Xingyuan to show his hand. By then, the law of heaven and kings will be in place, and I will not allow him to continue to occupy the position without doing anything!"

Xia Yun sneered.

Pei Xingyuan's various behaviors in the lobby have already made him understand Pei Xingyuan's character.

In his opinion, after Pei Xingyuan returned to Nanmo City, he would have no choice but to send troops to wipe out the 20,000 barbarian troops in Guihua City.

In the final analysis, Pei Xingyuan will definitely do some small tricks behind the scenes.

At that time, I will have a legitimate reason to remove him from the position of governor.

At that time, Xu Miao, Xu Jinsong and others were thousands of miles away from the capital. Even if they wanted to intervene in Shaanxi and Gansu provinces, there was no way they could do so!

……

In the blink of an eye, a day passed.

Xia Yun, who was in Shuodong City, finally received detailed information from Shuoxi.

Chong Heihu had already led his troops to the vicinity of Shuoxi, and the messenger he sent back appeared in the lobby of the Shuodong County Government.

"Reporting to the commander, the four walls of Shuoxi are still intact. The number of barbarian troops surrounding Shuoxi is about 250,000."

"The barbarian troops launched a strong attack on Shuoxi day and night, but the troops led by General Chen Jingzhong are very tenacious. So far, they still maintain a strong combat effectiveness and have not allowed any barbarian troops to enter the city."

"However, due to the high frequency of attacks by the barbarian troops, our army has not yet established contact with General Chen Jingzhong in the city..."

In the lobby of the county government office, the messenger soldier spoke for nearly a quarter of an hour.

Finally, when he finished speaking, Xia Yun had a relatively comprehensive understanding of the current situation in Shuoxi.

"Pass on my order. Have Chong Heihu continue to wait and see what happens in Shuoxi. The 100,000 cavalry must not move lightly. They must keep harassing the enemy at a high intensity over the next few days. Apart from that, if Shuoxi is about to fall, you can let them decide on their own plans of advance."

After pondering for a moment, Xia Yun made a new decision with a very serious look.

As the saying goes, a kind person cannot command an army, and a righteous person cannot command wealth. Now the Daliang Dynasty troops in Shuoxi are the bait to attract the enemy!

The longer this bait lasts, the more time he has to deploy his troops.

Just wait until hundreds of thousands of troops complete the encirclement and completely besiege and kill the 250,000 barbarian troops!

"Yes, handsome!"

After receiving the order, the soldier immediately left the hall and disappeared into Shuodong City.

Not long after, Zhao Wuji came to Xia Yun again.

"Reporting to the commander, the relocation of the people in the prefectures, counties and cities west of Shuodong has already begun. It will take at most two days to complete the relocation."

"However, according to my estimation, there will be millions more civilians in Shuodong City in the next few days. How should we deal with these people, Marshal?"

After entering the lobby, Zhao Wuji immediately asked with a worried look on his face.

The progress of the people's relocation work was much faster than he expected.

Naturally, Shuodong City, which could only bear the burden of accommodating one million relocated people, suddenly faced tremendous pressure.

You have to know that the food, clothing, housing and transportation of millions of people are no joke. If it is not handled properly, it is very likely to cause large-scale starvation among people.

By then, even if Xia Yun was the decision maker of the entire plan, and Zhao Wuji, as the actual executor of the plan, would inevitably be confiscated and exiled.

Of course, for Zao Wou-Ki, what he cares about is not just his own interests, the livelihoods of millions of ordinary people are the top priority.

"Call Qin Tianye in."

Xia Yun pondered for a moment after hearing this.

Soon, more than ten minutes later, Qin Tianye appeared in the lobby of the county government.

"How many military tents did the army bring?"

Xia Yun asked directly to the point.

This is what makes Xia Yun’s army different from other armies, as it is an army whose goal is to build a modern army.

The army under Xia Yun's command has all kinds of facilities.

Of course, military tents are indispensable.

"In reply to the Marshal, there are currently about 100,000 military tents brought into Shuodong City."

Qin Tianye didn't understand what was going on and responded immediately.
