Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Chu Ying stared at Fang Yuanjian closely, trying to confirm whether the other party was joking.

"By winter, their troops will be fully staffed, fully paid, and fully stocked. No one can defeat them unless Daqian comes forward with an army of over 100,000 men, which they absolutely cannot do."

Fang Yuanjian laughed and cried, although they had been living quite comfortably these past few days.

But the shadow of war has always hung over them.

Lu Fang brought his troops to harass them continuously, and even found out that it was Fang Yuanjian who led his men to rob the supplies.

It was because he brought this extremely important news back to report to Hua Yunhong.

Only Lu Fang, who lost Shuilian County, could be considered to have made a contribution.

And with the help of his eldest grandson or someone who said something good to him, he was able to save his life.

Having achieved success, he began to work harder to show himself.

After all, no one wants his or her path to promotion to be cut short just because of the loss of a county town.

In the past few days, his opponent's attacks have been extremely crazy.

Winter is coming soon, but they can still maintain such strong combat power. This makes Fang Yuanjian realize that something is wrong.

So he arranged some spies to enter the territory of Shenmu Kingdom to investigate, and found that the other party's reaction was much more stable than he expected.

Finally, the spies discovered that dozens of caravans had gathered in Shenmu City.

They are all people from major trading companies in Shenmu Kingdom.

They were forced to trade with the court and provide supplies.

Of course, although it was forced, the imperial court did not actually make any money from them. Basically, they settled with them according to the market price.

Among them, Tongbao Pavilion paid the most.

Because of the original smuggling cooperation relationship between him and Chu Ying.

They have been targeted by the court until now.

Even though there is a group of high-ranking officials standing behind it, constantly protecting Tongbao Pavilion.

But even so, they still couldn't bear Hua Yunhong's anger.

After this situation occurred, the top management of Tongbao Pavilion was extremely angry.

But in front of the imperial court that controlled the army, he could only grit his teeth and swallow his anger.

After learning about these situations, Chu Ying also sighed.

"I understand what you said, but it's absolutely impossible for me to enter Shenmu City directly right now. If you want to influence their procurement of supplies, you can think of a way from Tongbao Pavilion."

"Are you still in touch with them?"

Hearing that he was still in contact with Brother Tongbao, Fang Yuanjian's eyes suddenly lit up, and Chu Ying nodded slowly:

"Your Majesty has previously introduced some avenues to me. When Hua Yunhong arrived at the southern border, they all withdrew, and no one dared to continue cooperating with me."

"Fortunately, I didn't die at the hands of Hua Yunhong. The people in Tongbao Pavilion also understand my value and were in contact with me some time ago. However, we have now arrived at Yuanwang Ridge, so we won't cooperate with them for the time being."

"Are you saying that Tongbao Pavilion can help us manipulate market prices, making it more difficult for the court to gather supplies?"

Fang Yuanjian didn't know much about doing business, but he knew that Chu Ying was a capable person who could even change the market price in an area.

What he hopes now is that Chu Ying can change the prices in their market as much as possible, so that the situation may be better.

The court’s supplies would not be collected so quickly, but Chu Ying didn’t think so.

The key to doing business is not to offend both parties. If they offend people while doing business, then their business is the lowest kind.

"Of course not."

"Tongbao Pavilion has already offended Hua Yunhong. If they continue to cause trouble, they will not end well. Now I can arrange for them to continue smuggling secretly, but the condition is that they promise to slow down the transportation process as much as possible. During this period, you must seize the opportunity."

"Seize what opportunity?"

Fang Yuanjian was a little surprised. At this time, Chu Ying told him the information he had received.

"Your Majesty just sent a letter saying that Xishu will join forces with you to attack Changsun Huo."

"Is there such a good thing?"

Fang Yuanjian was just thinking, if Western Shu couldn't withstand the pressure from Changsun Huo, what would his side do if they were defeated?

It is very likely that Changsun will make a surprise attack and unite with the troops in the rear to attack him from both sides.

But he didn't expect that before he was attacked from both sides, he and Xishu teamed up to surround Changsun Huo.

"I was a little bit skeptical at the time, but Xishu did respond. In the past few days, they even opened the border to let Daqian's troops in."

"That's really great. What did your Majesty say? It can actually bring about the end of Xishu."

"I don't know about that."

With such help, Fang Yuanjian was very satisfied, so he agreed with Chu Ying's idea.

"Then let's do as you say. Let them sell as much as possible and transport the goods as quickly as possible."

After the two of them finished their discussion.

Chu Ying asked Fang Yuanjian for a group of troops, rushed to the border of Shenmu Kingdom, and started contacting Tongbao Pavilion.

Soon, a series of caravans set off from Shenmu City.

Among them, the one that takes the most goods and undertakes most of the transportation tasks is naturally the Tongbao Pavilion spread throughout the Shenmu Kingdom.

They arranged thousands of carriages.

We started marching along the route instructed by Hua Yunhong.

And the route they used to transport supplies naturally fell into Fang Yuanjian's hands.

All the movements have basically been grasped by Fang Yuanjian.

But this time they had no way to steal other people's supplies.

After learning from the previous lesson, Hua Yunhong made great reinforcements to the troops transporting supplies.

Each transport team has strong combat capabilities, and these people not only provide support materials but also support troops.

By doing so, they can also ensure that their troops and supplies can be sent to the front line without any hindrance.

As these transport teams slowly moved.

Something not too coincidental happened.

Although Hua Yunhong has spent a lot of effort to help collect supplies, the troops on the front line are still in emergency, especially Mu Liuming's troops.

They have been short of water and food for more than a month.

At noon that day, several hungry soldiers stopped Mu Liuming who had just returned from outside.

"General, when will our supplies be delivered?"

"Brothers are fighting so hard up front. We can't afford to be without food."

"What exactly does the court want? Can you give me a definite answer?"

When people have no food to eat, they are extremely hungry.

Therefore, they started to speak in a sarcastic tone and were not afraid even when facing Mu Liuming.

"How dare you! Who told you to speak to the general like that?"

Several guards immediately stepped forward, ready to capture them.

The soldiers sitting on the ground resting around them immediately focused their attention on him.

Everyone looked unhappy.
