The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family

Chapter 777 Closing the Net

 Huju?

Isn't this a suicide attempt?

Wei San asked: "You read that right?"

"I'll wait and confirm again."

"What does this caravan sell?" Yan Yu asked with narrowed eyes.

"food."

"Let's see if there are many caravans going to Huju recently?" Yan Yu ordered.

"Got the order!"

Wei San instantly understood what she meant.

"Do you think the Xizhou Army will pretend to be a businessman and sneak in?"

"It's very possible." Yan Yu silently thought about the possible food transportation route of the Xizhou Army.

Caravans must be inspected all the way through the customs.

Documentary documents can be faked, but the goods that can be sold, namely food, cannot be faked.

It is impossible to have all food. At least a small part of it must be real food, so that it can successfully pass the inspections at the borders of each city gate.

Such a team is either big or small. If it is too big, it will attract too much attention. Huju has been actively purchasing food. There is no big city in Guanzhou that is not short of food. If it is small, it will not be able to sneak in too many people and it will not be effective. .

Therefore, if the Xizhou response team enters Guanzhou in this way, the number of grain selling teams will definitely increase in recent days.

"Report! There are indeed many food caravans, either going to Yongning or to Huju."

"A grain transport convoy has at least a hundred people mixed in, as well as horses. It is inconspicuous to pull the cart, and it is easy to hide weapons." A glint flashed in Yan Yu's eyes: "Such a lot of effort, just for the sake of support Prince Qi’s concubine, mother and son?”

"They want to..." Wei San thought of a possibility.

“Bold assumptions and careful verification.”

Yan Yu took out the map.

Wei San quickly looked over.

Every time he saw Xiaoer's map, he couldn't help but sigh, it was so detailed!

"If you want to come to our Guanzhou from Xizhou, you can only pass through Huju, Gufeng, and Leshan Prefecture. It is impossible to enter from Huju. We are near Gufeng City now. We want to know if they suddenly appeared and asked people to go to Guanzhou. Just ask Feng County Government."

Yan Yu called Sitie to come and explain to him. Sitie nodded to express his understanding and immediately rode away.

"The most likely Leshan Prefecture is still under the prince's rule for a short period of time. He is still the same official as before. We only sent troops to suppress bandits and did not interfere with other things. Half of Leshan Prefecture is mountains, and our defense at the junction is not enough." Yan Yu I also understand that this is an unsolvable problem.

"Mountain roads are difficult to walk, especially for grain transport convoys. Walking is even more difficult and time-consuming," Wei San said.

"Not bad." Yan Yu's fingers traced from Xizhou to Gufeng where they are now.

"Divide into small teams and choose different routes, but what remains the same is that they will always gather at a certain point, and you can tell one or two things from the direction they are traveling."

Yan Yu took out the charcoal pen he had with him and drew lines directly on the map.

But Wei San was heartbroken.

But he knew the importance, and this was not the time to feel sorry for the map.

Yan Yu's team will not move forward for the time being and rest in place.

Messengers came and went.

Through continuous message aggregation.

The thin lines left by the charcoal on the map gradually converged towards a point.

"Are they really going to Huju?"

Sitie returned and brought a reply from the Yamen Master of Gufeng County.

Master is a meticulous person.

A detailed search was made of all the grain teams that had recently visited Gufeng.

What Yan Yu wants to know is which government seal these grain teams had before they passed through Gufeng City, or in other words, before entering Guanzhou.

In Linhai Prefecture, we need to check the port to stop the boat, so let it go first.

No more and no less from Leshan Prefecture.

Qishan Mansion!

Yan Yu was amused.

There was a drought in Qishan Prefecture last year, and it will be another drought this year. Will the food supply exceed Qishan Prefecture? Which grain merchant got kicked in the head by a donkey?

Yan Yu probably guessed that it was probably because the management of Qishan Mansion was more chaotic and difficult to verify.

"They all came from somewhere. No convoy appeared out of thin air near Gufeng. This just shows that they entered the country from Leshan Prefecture." Yan Yu drew another straight line on the map.

"Since the end point is Huju, starting from Xizhou, we have to avoid these mountains that cannot be passed by the convoy. The only way we can take is these few roads, and we exclude the places where Gu Feng's city guards are stationed, and those who transported coal last winter. Those are the two places.”

"Wei San, send a message to Wei Si and Wei Liu, asking them to lead their troops to block here and here. If they encounter a convoy, whether it is transporting food or something else, they will capture it. If they resist, kill them!"

"Got the order!"

Yan Yu thought for a while and felt that he still needed to add one more sentence.

"You know how to clean a battlefield, right?"

Last hit and erase all traces.

"I know." Wei San said.

The people in Xiaoan Village are all fools of the Yan family.

Everything the Yan family does is good.

The outstanding achievements of General Yan and Little General Yan have been spread countless times.

Go to Xiaoanying and ask if anyone has heard of it.

Even the people who took refuge in Xizhou have more or less heard about the achievements of the Yan family's generals.

The Wei brothers were born as generals, and they were among the best in various training results at Xiao'an Camp. When they were divided into teams, their performance was even more outstanding. The boy scouts had Yan Yu as the leader, and the others were not convinced at all, and they even shook her little foundation. .

Among them, the Wei brothers learned a lot about how to clean the battlefield.

"Let Wei Xiaoqi start. His five hundred people will have no problem eating the food team with Prince Qi's concubine, mother and son."

"Let's go here." Yan Yu pointed to a point on the map.

"I feel like there will be big fish here."

"Operation closing the net, begin!"

…

Ding Jiao personally led the team across the border.

There are many generals in Xizhou. He is young and has little experience. Why can he be in a high position and be respected by the prince?

It's because he and the prince grew up together!

It was because of the friendship between him and the crown prince when they were young.

Although some people suggested that the prince should give up the crown prince and no longer be controlled by Guanzhou.

But Ding Jiao knew that in the prince's heart, the prince's status was much higher than that of other princes.

Not only was he born as a direct descendant, during his years in the capital, the prince had become well-known in the capital and was good at dancing. He secretly helped the prince to win over many people. He was a guest in a high-ranking position, associated with the dignitaries in the court, and spent money like water to support talented people. …

One by one, the prince remembered them all.

Without the prince, Xizhou would not be in the great situation it is today.

How could the imperial court know nothing about the private mining in Xizhou without the prince in Beijing to cover it up?

If someone hadn't reported it...

Now it seems that after all the events, only Guanzhou will benefit, and there is no doubt that Guanzhou will expose the private mining issue.

"How many people have arrived?" Ding Jiao asked.

He decided on the plan to coordinate with the army both internally and externally.

In order to save the prince, he also launched a large-scale attack on Guanzhou and broke through the Huju defense line.

The tiger's entourage was broken and Yongning was entered. The two border towns of Longxing and Fengming were beyond reach.

Guanzhou will be controlled by Xizhou.

This battle will determine the northwest!

"General, there are more than 1,500 people."

"How come there are so few?" Ding Jiao was dissatisfied.

"Respect the general's order, 30% of the food and 70% of the sand and soil. The sand and soil are very heavy, so..."

"Are they all stupid? You won't throw down the sandbags after passing Gu Feng?" Ding Jiao stared at them.

As soon as he thought about it, he knew that these elm-headed people didn't know how to adapt, and they would do such stupid things without even a word of explanation.
