The King of Qi was very ambitious and it was expected that he would not refuse Gu Feng's proposal.
According to his circle, the boundary of Xizhou was expanded eastward, while the land bordering Gufeng and Leshan was pushed southward, and the two worked together to bite off a piece of land in the northwest corner of Leshan Prefecture.
He only saw the obvious benefits of moving the boundary stone, swallowing up the land of Leshan, and achieving the same goal as his ambition to conquer the country. It also shortened the distance from the canal directly leading to the capital from Leshan Prefecture, and he could make a more calm layout, and even advance the army to
At the newly determined border, the mountains there are suitable for hiding troops...
But they ignored that Gufeng's border was pushed southward. Although it was still some distance from the open-pit coal mine, once Gufeng arranged for manpower to be stationed at the border, the area would no longer be an uninhabited and desolate place...
Xizhou almost pushed the border to the official road leading to Gufeng in Leshan Prefecture.
Relatively speaking, the abundance of grain is not excessive. As they said, it only occupies a few more mountains.
The agreement between Yan Huaiwen and Mr. Gu Feng was that the latter would come forward to persuade Xizhou.
Huju happens to have someone in Xizhou who can act cheaply and help Gu Feng.
Including but not limited to moving boundary markers, drawing maps, etc.
Let Gu Feng choose a suitable place as soon as possible to station guards.
Internally, Mr. Gu Feng needs to actively respond to the accountability and response of the government and the city. Hu Ju will not stand by and watch. He is willing to advance and retreat with Gu Feng. This is not just talk.
Hu Juhui exposed the location of two private mines in Xizhou successively. Firstly, Xizhou was in a state of distress. Secondly, it put the coal mines they planned on the table. Thirdly, they had an explanation for the city. Although they acted beyond the rules, they could focus on the matter.
Zhou Mou’s original intention is good.
From small villages and towns to large counties and even major government offices, no one has ever had a dispute over the border issue.
It's not unusual for boundaries to be blurred.
Some of the boundary stones were washed away by rain, some were covered by mudslides, some were not found due to subsidence, and some were destroyed by lightning...
Just arguing with each other.
Before Yan Yu and his party, Xizhou had already moved the boundary stone.
The work was rough.
Just dig out the boundary stones and dig a new hole to bury them.
There is no technical content at all.
Yan Yu would not do this.
The official road is thirty miles and one post, and Gu Feng is advancing southward. If it is like Xizhou, then how to deal with this post station on the official road? The essence of wrangling is to have something to talk about, not to tell lies with open eyes.
Besides, what does Gu Feng want to do with the post station and occupy the official road?
Their goal has always been clear - coal mines!
In the "construction drawing" drawn by Yan Yu, official roads were not the focus and were simply bypassed.
Using mountains and peaks as markers to delineate boundaries is the most common method.
This is the case between Gufeng and Leshan.
When villagers in the two places give directions, they will probably say that after passing this mountain, you will reach Gufeng/Leshan.
Therefore, what they have to do is to try to find similar terrain as far south as possible, and then artificially modify it to make it similar to the original version.
There are so many mountains in Leshan Prefecture.
It didn't take Yan Yu long to find a place. Most of them couldn't be said to be exactly the same. The only difference was that there was a low mountain next to it, which made it a bit unsightly.
But it doesn't matter, if there is no mountain, we can do it all.
I believe that the maps left by Gu Feng did not draw each mountain too finely. Hey, there is plenty of room for manipulation in terms of size.
They carefully selected several stones.
It was the kind of thing that was difficult for ordinary people to move, but just within the strength of her, Uncle Qi, and Uncle Qi.
The iron bars in their hands were not very useful as crowbars. They pried the stones onto the sledge and then pulled them to the designated position. Fortunately, there was thick snow on the ground, which saved them a lot of effort.
After moving in, Qi Da and Qi Wu even had the physical strength to help Yan Yu concave her shape...
…
Manager Zhou has been worried about something recently.
The two teams that went to trade with Beirong were nowhere to be seen.
The coal was lost, and so were the people. Several groups of people had been sent to look for it, but there was still no news. It was more likely to be bad than good.
Logically speaking, he should be suspicious of Guanzhou.
After all, they have the motive to take action and have enough manpower.
Good guy, the people from Guanzhou traveling to and from Xizhou are so busy at first. He paid a little attention to them at first, but later he found out that these people were focused on digging cinders, and they were quite happy...
Then he took his hands back.
Dig! I'll let you dig!
It’s almost gone anyway. What’s good is just rubbish. Is it worth it?
However, this also dispelled his suspicion. If it was Guanzhou that did it and robbed so much coal, how could he care about the cinders?
He feels more like Beirong.
Black eats black!
I secretly cursed these Tatars for being so insidious.
A formal transaction at first to make them relax their guard, and then they made a backhand move...
Prince Pian also wanted to use Beirong to contain Guanzhou's troops.
They may have tried to cross-examine to no avail, and they didn't know where or when the accident happened. The heavy snow had wiped away all traces, and they couldn't find anything.
But just admitting it like this... Not to mention how aggrieved I feel, it is not conducive to future cooperation. Whether it is Xirong or Beirong, the Tatars are rude and ignorant, and only recognize their fists. If they give in this time, they will let those
The barbarians bullied him in his face.
He had been lucky and never reported the matter.
Seeing that after some time, there was still no news, Manager Zhou knew that the matter could no longer be hidden, so he walked all the way to the prince to confess.
"...My lord, it was probably Beirong who stole our coal, and the people who escorted it probably also..." Manager Zhou had a sad face, lowering his head and not daring to raise it.
Just as he was about to explain a few more words, he suddenly heard rapid footsteps outside.
"Your Majesty, I have a letter from you, urgent letter!"
"Bring it here quickly." King Qi stepped forward.
The visitor quickly stepped forward and handed it over with both hands.
King Qi Zhanxin frowned deeper and deeper, and at the end, his eyes began to burn.
"Where is the messenger? Bring him here. I have something to ask."
"My lord, the horse was galloping all the way, and the rider never stopped to change the horse... I couldn't stand it, and I fainted after saying a few words."
"Wake up!" King Qi ordered coldly.
The person who came to deliver the letter took the order and left.
Manager Zhou next to him shuddered.
If a person is fainted, how can he wake him up? He can only use extraordinary measures.
This shows how eager the prince is.
The prince is in the capital, under the pretense of studying, but in fact he is secretly communicating with various parties and inquiring into the affairs of the court in order to assist the prince's grand plans.
They have a more secret way of sending messages, and sending messages at such a speed is too eye-catching.
Something big must be happening!
And for Xizhou, it is very urgent.
Soon, Manager Zhou heard something that frightened him from the conversation between the prince and the messenger.
Their private mine in Xizhou was exposed!
No wonder, no wonder the prince wants to take such a risk.
Manager Zhou suddenly thought of another thing.
He...may have chosen the most inappropriate time to inform the prince about the disappearance of the coal transport convoy.
Adding insult to injury!
…
There were two choices before King Qi.
One is to take advantage of the situation and rebel, and the court will blame you? I have already rebelled, so why do I still care about this?
The second is to introduce a scapegoat to take all the responsibility for the private mine. He is an innocent person who was kept in the dark. The people the prince made in the capital moved and turned this matter into a minor matter...
The private mine has been exposed, and the culprit has been eliminated. It is nothing more than turning into a government mine, and it is still under his rule in Xizhou. If you like the book life of the Xianyu family, please save it: (www.sodu777.net) The book life search of the Xianyu family
