Chapter 777 Closing the Net
Huju?
Isn’t this a way to die at your doorstep?
Wei San asked: "You read that right?"
“I’ll wait and confirm again.”
“What does this caravan sell?” Yan Yu asked with narrowed eyes.
“Grain.”
"Let's go and see if there are many caravans going to Huju recently?" Yan Yu ordered.
“Get the order!”
Wei San instantly understood what she meant.
“Do you think the Xizhou Army will pretend to be merchants and sneak in?”
"It's very possible." Yan Yu silently thought about the possible grain transportation route of the Xizhou Army.
Caravans must be inspected all the way through the border.
Documentary documents can be forged, but the goods that can be sold, namely grain, cannot be forged.
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 inspection 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 caravans carrying grain, 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."
With that said, 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 groups and choose different routes, but what remains the same is that they will always gather at a certain point, and one or two things can be judged from the direction they are traveling.”
Yan Yu took out the charcoal pen he had with him and drew lines directly on the map.
This makes Wei San very distressed.
But he knew the importance, and this was not the time to worry about 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 converge 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.
Made a detailed search of all grain convoys that have recently passed through grain harvests.
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.
Linhai Prefecture, you need to check the port to stop the boat, let it go first.
Leshan Prefecture is no more and no less.
Qishan Mansion!
Yan Yu was very happy to see it.
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, and 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 grain or something else, capture them all. If they resist, kill them!"
“Get the order!”
Yan Yu thought about it and felt that he still needed to add one more sentence.
“You know how to clean the 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.
The Yan family is good at everything they do.
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 heard more or less about the achievements of the generals and generals of the Yan family.
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, how to clean the battlefield gave the Wei brothers a new understanding.
“Let Wei Xiaoqi start, his five hundred people will have no problem eating the food team with the Queen of 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 his son grew up together since childhood!
It is because of his friendship with 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 heart of the prince, the prince's status was much higher than that of other princes.
It’s not just the fact that he is a legitimate son. During the years he has been in Beijing, the prince has become well-known in the capital. He is good at dancing. He has secretly helped the prince to win over many people. He is a guest in a high-level position, associates with the dignitaries in the court, spends money like water, and supports talented people. …
The prince remembers everything one by one.
Without the crown 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 strategy of coordinating the internal and external cooperation with the army.
In order to save the world's son, he also launched a large-scale attack on Guanzhou and broke through the Huju defense line.
The tiger camp was broken and they entered Yongning. The two border cities of Longxing and Fengming were beyond the reach of the whip.
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.
“I respect the general’s order, 30% of the grain and 70% of the sand. The sand is very heavy, so…”
"Are they all stupid? You won't throw down the sandbags after passing the grain harvest?" Ding Jiao stared at them.
He knew as soon as he thought about it that these elm-headed people didn't know how to adapt, and they would do such stupid things without even a word of explanation.
