The servants of the Duan Mansion were threatened by Shen Yi and were not allowed to escape. If anyone dared to escape and was discovered by her, they would be sent down to accompany their master.
Therefore, although the servants of Duan Mansion were frightened and extremely afraid of her, they still stayed in the manor to serve her, and no one dared to escape.
After Su Rong woke up, she heard Fengling say that Shen Yi had agreed to go to Nanchu with her. She nodded and wrote a letter to Yan Huisheng.
If Shen Yi follows her, the precious concubine in the imperial mausoleum will naturally die violently.
The dinner was very sumptuous, and the chefs in the kitchen showed off their skills to serve the master who now lives in this residence.
Fengling was enjoying the meal and gave Shen Yi a thumbs up, "Senior Sister Shen, you are amazing, you are very good at controlling your subordinates. Look at how you managed the servants in this house in such a short period of time, just like yourself. Just like the servants."
Shen Yiqing chuckled, "I have been in the palace for more than ten years, working in different palaces."
"That's right." Fengling nodded.
The palace is a place for cannibalism. Being able to control everything and dote on the Sixth Palace in that place makes the Queen and the Queen shun her. This ability is not something everyone can have. Especially the current His Majesty, who is actually a dog, and he is doting on him. It's not easy to deceive him.
"If it's delicious, eat more." Shen Yi looked at Su Rong, "You seem to have lost weight."
Su Rong was already slender. She used to look weak, but now she looks like she could fall over if the wind blows.
Fengling answered, "My sister was seriously injured once. She almost died when she was chased by Nangong Yu. Now she has just recovered from the injury, but she has not fully recovered yet."
"If you are tired, why not stay here and rest for two more days before leaving?" Shen Yi asked after hearing this.
"Let's go, walk more slowly on the road. I'll ride in a carriage with you instead of riding a horse." Su Rong shook his head, "Since there is no trouble in Jibei City, there is no need to stay any longer."
Shen Yi nodded, "Okay!"
Anyway, since she is not waiting for Duan Xiao here, she is not happy to stay.
So, early on the next day, Su Rong and Fengling, two carriages, left Jibei City.
After they left, the servants of Duan Mansion were also liberated and left Duan Mansion one after another.
After walking a hundred miles out of Jibei City, the journey was very smooth. Fengling asked Su Rong: "Sister, do the people in Nanchu feel that no matter how many people they send, they can't kill you, so they simply give up on killing you?"
"It's impossible, I just don't plan to send people to Daliang to kill me. I know that I can't be killed in Daliang, so I don't want to lose it. I reserve my strength and wait for me!" Su Rong said: "When we step from Daliang into the border of Nanchu, you Let's see, the killers will probably swarm us by then."
Fengling thought about it and it was right, "Then their wishful thinking was wrong. According to the wishes of the old prince, they can only watch when the time comes."
Su Rong narrowed his eyes, "If we borrow troops to go to Nanchu, maybe we can do something more than just let them watch."
"What to do?" Fengling suddenly became interested.
"Pull out the hidden stakes in Nangong's house," Su Rong said.
Fengling chuckled, "What a good idea."
He rubbed his hands and thought for a while, "As for hidden stakes, the person who is best at it is Zhang Yun. Let him do it when the time comes."
Su Rong nodded, "Yeah."
Shen Yi listened to the two chatting and decided on one thing in a few words. She asked: "What are you borrowing troops from?"
Fengling immediately told her that the old Duke suggested that his sister take 200,000 troops to Nanchu, firstly for her use, and secondly to relieve the pressure on Daliang.
"Three hundred thousand." Su Rong corrected.
Fengling changed her mind: "Yes, my sister said it would be better to just give it 300,000."
Shen Yixiao said, "The old Protector is very foresighted and very powerful, otherwise he would not have been feared by His Majesty for so many years."
She asked Su Rong, "Will the prince borrow it? Aren't you afraid that you will not return the troops if you borrow them?"
"Isn't that true?" Su Rong is quite confident in her own character. Will Yan Huisheng not believe her?
Shen Yi reminded her, "You have accepted so many people to go to Nanchu. I can't guarantee that the prince will not think about the possibility that you will take them for yourself in the future."
Su Rong thought for a moment and said "Huh", "Then if he doesn't believe me, there's nothing he can do. Anyway, he can't afford to raise so many soldiers at the moment."
"Indeed." Shen Yi knew very well that the Daliang treasury had little money, "Then how do you raise 300,000 soldiers and horses? If the prince agrees to lend you soldiers and horses, will you take 300,000 soldiers and horses to attack the Southern Chu Kingdom?
Treasury? You have just arrived in Nanchu, so I’m afraid you won’t be able to touch the Nanchu treasury.”
"I have money." Su Rong said, "It's not a problem to support him for a year and a half."
After a year and a half, she had established a firm foothold in Nanchu and was able to use the money from the Nanchu treasury.
"Actually, the Zhang family still has some money. Although Zhang Ping has raised 450,000 soldiers and horses, over the years, in addition to asking the court for military pay, he has also made money in northern Hebei. As far as I know, he illegally mined a salt
Mine, reselling fine salt, Zhang Mao and Zhang Yun, the two young masters of the Zhang family, should know best where the money is." Shen Yi said: "There are only a few in the warehouse of General Pingxi's Mansion. A large amount of money should be stored properly.
The place where silver is hidden.”
"Is that gold-hidden cave in the mountain behind the Great Buddha Temple Zhang Ping's?" Su Rong asked.
"Yes, but you gave it all to Donggong." Shen Yi looked at her.
"The East Palace needs money. Your Majesty has suppressed her a lot these years, and the prince has no way to make money." Su Rong replied to Yan that she was willing to give up. After all, she still needed him as a backer. What could he do if he didn't stand firm? If you give it, you won't regret it.
"Then ask the two brothers of the Zhang family. Since they have taken refuge in you, they should be willing to give up." Shen Yi said: "If they are not willing to give up, they are not sincere enough."
"It's sincere enough. It doesn't matter if you don't want to give it up." Su Rong didn't care, and she didn't force it. Money is the foundation of a life. Anyone who has money will feel at ease. Anyway, she herself is not without money. And those people under her,
She also knows how to make money. As long as she doesn't start a war and spend a lot of money on military pay, she can afford it.
Shen Yi looked at her twice, couldn't help but smile, and said nothing more.
The carriage went all the way to the border, where they met and stayed at a hotel. While the three of them were walking slowly and leisurely, Zhou Gu had already arrived at the border with one hundred thousand soldiers and horses.
A secret guard reported, "There is indeed a movement of troops in the Wei Dynasty. Three hundred thousand troops have been secretly deployed. They are just waiting for an opportunity to move in the border city of the Wei Dynasty."
Since the two sides signed the peace treaty sixteen years ago, it has been stipulated that the border between the two sides shall not exceed 100,000 troops. The old protector was seriously injured in that battle and was about to be raised. His sons were all killed in the battle, and his grandson had not yet grown up.
Therefore, Your Majesty asked the old Protector to return to Beijing with 300,000 troops to garrison, and also dispatched Zhang Ping to garrison in Northern Hebei with 100,000 troops. Northern Hebei is not far from the border. Within a few days' journey, Northern Hebei will become...
At the cordon, only 20,000 soldiers and horses were left on sentry posts at the border.
Seeing that Daliang was like this, the Wei Dynasty made almost the same military arrangements to show the friendship between the two countries and not to engage in military war within the peace treaty. After all, the battle sixteen years ago was too severe, both sides suffered heavy losses, and both needed to recuperate.
But now that sixteen years have passed, Wei's ambitions have resurfaced.
