Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

If there are equivalent things to supplement it, the operation of replacing weapons and armor will be much easier.

Fang Yiai thought for a moment, and soon another question came to his mind.

He asked in a gentle voice, "Miss Yin, it's only a little over a month before we store the weapons in the armory in Luoyang."

"Can the King of Wei make 10 sets of armor out of wood in such a short time?"

He didn't dare to touch the armory in Chang'an, after all, there were too many eyes watching.

In addition, Chang'an was too far away from Xiangzhou, and it would be impossible to transport so many pieces of armor there without anyone noticing.

The only things that could be mobilized were the weapons transported to Luoyang, and during the transportation process, opportunities could be found to replace the weapons.

Yin Yushan shook her head slightly and said, "Prince Consort Fang, you don't have to worry about the King of Wei not being able to handle it."

"He now has thousands of craftsmen at his disposal. It is not difficult for them to carve the shapes of weapons and armor out of wood."

Making the shapes of weapons and armor out of wood does not require meticulous carving or exquisite craftsmanship, and it is not a difficult task.

You must know that Li Tai owns three states and has the secret support of several people from big families.

If he couldn't even handle such a small matter, he would not dare to take the risky path of rebellion.

Yin Yushan continued, "You don't need to worry about the transportation of weapons and armor. The King of Wei will send people to do these things."

"You just need to cooperate with the King of Wei to exchange the weapons while escorting them, and your mission will be completed."

After listening to Yin Yushan's explanation, Fang Yiai's concerns were largely dispelled.

Originally, he thought that he would need to arrange the whole thing, but he did not expect that the King of Wei would consider it so carefully and think through many difficult issues for him in advance.

According to the King of Wei's plan, he only needed to bribe the escorting officials during the transportation process to get the job done.

Although we cannot let our subordinates change weapons openly, it is entirely possible to let them leave their weapons for a short period of time.

Fang Yiai raised his eyebrows and asked, "Miss Yin, does the King of Wei have any other support?"

Yin Yushan smiled and said, "The King of Wei will provide you with a large amount of gold and silver for you to bribe the subordinate officials of the Weiwei Temple and the imperial guards who are helping to escort the transport."

"The first batch of gold and silver totaling 1 strings of silver is on the way, and another 2 strings of silver will arrive in a few days."

"If you think the silver is not enough, the King of Wei will continue to provide you with gold and silver!"

In order to obtain this batch of armor, Li Tai spent a huge amount of money.

It doesn’t matter how much money he spends now. You can’t catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb. As long as he succeeds, the whole world will be his.

The little money he pays now will return to him in due time.

"Huh~"

Upon hearing that the King of Wei was so generous, Fang Yiai's breathing became rapid.

He swallowed and said, "Miss Yin, since the King of Wei is so generous, I feel more confident!"

Money makes the world go round. I believe that with a large sum of money, the officials of the Weiwei Temple will cooperate obediently.

Yin Yushan nodded, then turned her gaze to Chai Lingwu on the side.

Seeing that he had finished reading the secret letter, he then spoke softly.

"Prince Consort Chai, the King of Wei has also issued an order to you. I hope you can spare 1 top-quality war horses from it!"

"The King of Wei will spend a lot of money to buy it. See if you can bribe the Minister of the Imperial Household Xiao Rui."

When Chai Lingwu heard that the King of Wei asked him to sell 1 war horses, his brows furrowed tightly.

War horses are different from weapons. War horses are extremely rare, while weapons are numerous and varied.

This time, Goguryeo, Baekje and Silla were conquered, and a total of 128642 horses were seized.

Among them, 41662 horses had worn horseshoes, and nearly 10000 horses were defective.

It is basically impossible to sort out 70000 war horses from 10000 intact war horses without attracting the attention of the court.

long silence.

Chai Lingwu said in a deep voice: "Miss Yin, I will do my best in this matter, but please tell His Royal Highness the King of Wei not to pin all your hopes on me."

"I'm worried that if we can't get 1 war horses by then, it will delay His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei's important plans!"

His superior, Xiao Rui, the Minister of the Imperial Household, is on the prince's side.

In addition, Xiao Rui came from a large family like the Lanling Xiao family, so ordinary gold and silver finances did not have much appeal to him.

It is unrealistic to bribe him with gold and silver.

Yin Yushan smiled and said, "Prince Consort Chai, the King of Wei is well aware of what is going on. Just do your best."

"In addition to buying horses from horse dealers, the King of Wei will also send people to Xueyantuo and Eastern Turks to buy a batch of war horses."

Now, most of the high-quality war horses in the northern grasslands have been seized by the imperial court, and the remaining war horses are not of very good quality.

It was for this reason that Li Tai set his sights on the batch of war horses seized by the imperial court.

Chai Lingwu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Miss Yin, the King of Wei has other means, so I feel relieved."

After talking about business, the atmosphere in the lobby became relaxed.

Fang Yiai slowly stood up, clasped his fists towards Yin Yushan and said.

"Miss Yin, Brother Chai and I are quite stupid, and you are a woman who is good at strategy. Please give us some advice."

"After all, this trip is full of dangerous things. If you are not careful, you may be killed!"

The imperial court imposed a clear ban on weapons such as spears, horse lances, armor and crossbows, and listed them as prohibited weapons.

Ordinary soldiers of the Zhechoufu were not allowed to use such forbidden weapons during training, and could only train with four-foot-long swords and wooden sticks.

Unless there is a war or a major disturbance, the local governor will apply for weapons from the Weiwei Temple.

Moreover, the weapons had to be approved and signed by layers of officials before they could be distributed to the soldiers. The whole process was very cumbersome.

Yin Yushan took a sip of the warm tea carefully, and spoke slowly under the expectant gaze of Fang Yiai and Chai Lingwu.

"I will secretly inform you of this operation, so don't worry."

"But Du Chuke has tricked you two, you can fight back appropriately."

When they heard the name Du Chuke, Fang Yiai and Chai Lingwu instantly showed anger on their faces.

In the secret letter written to them by the King of Wei, the person who asked them to do this dangerous thing was the old thief Du Chuke.

"Snapped!"

Fang Yiai suddenly slapped the table hard, and then said with gritted teeth.

"Du Chuke relied on his position beside the King of Wei to plot against us time and time again. He is so despicable!"

"If we don't teach him a lesson, all our efforts will be in vain!"

Chai Lingwu also nodded with a grim face.

He clasped his fists towards Yin Yushan and said, "Miss Yin, you've also suffered at the hands of Du Chuke. Now you have to deal with this old dog. I wonder what tricks you have?"
