"Master Imperial, I have something I must say." Huangfuxing couldn't stand it anymore and stood up, "The food supplies in the three counties are already low, and we have more than 10,000 soldiers.
If you return the money and food to the wealthy gentry, the remaining money and food will not be able to sustain you for a long time. The people in the county town have to live, and once you exhaust the money, the three counties will probably riot in an instant..."
"General Huangfu is right, you just need to worry about the war." Du Ge smiled and put away the cane, "I will solve the rest of the things, and I have already solved them. I will not treat you badly if you follow us."
of the soldiers who are fighting.”
"Solved?" Huangfuxing was stunned.
Luo Shuang also looked over.
"While collecting food from the people, I have already sent people to Beihai and Dachu to seek support from them, and explained the current power and ambitions of the four princesses."
Du Ge smiled, with an air of certainty of victory, "Those two countries are adjacent to Chongming. As long as their monarchs are not stupid, they will definitely be happy to see a divided Chongming Kingdom, and they will be happy to see a war that may break out at any time.
of the Qingwu Kingdom.
Now that we have the opportunity, they will definitely be happy to provide us with financial and food support, and maybe even send us some more talents.
With their money and grain, we can return the money to those wealthy households at a price higher than the market price, without having to return the grain to them.
We can also pay some money in advance to those people who have donated money and food to us, so as to reassure them and win more public support for the Fourth Princess. There will be opportunities to donate food in the future. I believe those who hesitated before,
You will be more enthusiastic."
As he said that, he looked at Luo Shuang and said with a smile, "How could I really let the princess' reputation be damaged? I won't let the rumors of the three-to-seven split spread. The most that will be spread is the money and food of those rich families.
Bought at a high price, right?"
Luo Shuang breathed a long sigh of relief and looked at Duge with gratitude.
really.
Master is still considerate, Master still cares about her.
"..." Huangfu Xing was horrified. He suddenly stood up, "How could you do this? He Xu, are you really going to mess up Chongming Kingdom? If you do this, I will not help you even if I die...
"
"Is there chaos?" Duge looked at Huangfuxing strangely, "I did not commit any crimes against the three county towns I captured. I did not burn, kill or loot. The people live and work in peace and contentment, tax revenue has been reduced, and even girls have received education.
Opportunity.
I borrowed some money and food from them. It won't take long before I will return it to them in double the amount.
General Huangfu, the food and grass for the soldiers has been solved; the common people and wealthy households have no shortage of money and food, the four princesses have their own territory, and everyone has benefited from it, where is the chaos in Chongming?"
"..." Huangfuxing was stunned. He vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong specifically.
According to Dugger, everyone really benefited.
Moreover, Beihai Kingdom and Dachu Kingdom, thousands of miles away, were also willing to provide financial and food support.
Why is this happening?
How could this be?
"General Huangfu, you don't still have to worry about the treasury of Beihai Kingdom and Dachu Kingdom, right?" Du Ge looked at Huangfu Xing and said narrowly.
Huangfu Xing's face turned red. He raised his fist towards Du Ge and said, "Master, it's my subordinate who has lost his composure. Master is planning strategies, and my subordinates are not as good as him."
"General Huangfu, I am a man of my word. General, you don't have to worry about the future." Du Ge smiled and said, "Counting the time, the people from Langpingguan should arrive. I don't understand combat matters.
You go and guard the pass with General Gao, and use the fastest speed to control Langping Pass in our hands. It is too dangerous to only hold one Yutang Pass. Control both fortresses in our hands, and you will have one.
Strategic buffer zone.”
"Yes." Huangfuxing clasped his fists and stepped back.
"Thank you, Master." After Huangfuxing went out, Luo Shuang looked at Duge with a red face, "Without Master here, I really don't know what to do."
"Princess, you're welcome, this is my duty." Duge sighed, "We don't have much time, so we have to fight in danger!"
The princess still wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Duge. He looked at the door: "Since Mr. Liu is back, why don't you come in?"
Liu Yi'an's hearty laughter came from outside the door: "I haven't seen you for two days. Mr. He's cultivation has become more and more advanced."
Don't look at what a big deal I've done.
Equality between men and women has gone from slogan to concrete implementation. It would be strange if its attributes do not advance by leaps and bounds.
Unfortunately, although his attributes have increased a lot, he is still ranked second.
I wasted more than ten days and let the guy who occupied the Prime Minister's body raise his attributes too high.
Thinking of his ranking, Duge sighed secretly again. He was really not used to not being number one!
Liu Yi'an pushed the door open and walked in, saluting the princess: "I've met the princess, I've met Mr. He."
"Yes." Luo Shuang nodded to him and asked calmly, "Do you need me to avoid it?"
"No need." Du Ge said, "Princess, you will be the king of a country in the future, and you should have control over all the activities of your subordinates. Last time, after Mr. Liu and I spied on each other, the princess didn't even ask.
In fact, I am a bit remiss. Later, I will ask the princess to come to my subordinates to get two canes to deepen my memory."
"..."
Luo Shuangmei's heart beat a few times and she looked at Duge strangely.
She now had every reason to believe that the beating whip created by her master was just to beat her.
Is this... a fetish?
Luo Shuang swallowed softly and couldn't help but twist her body.
She grew up in the imperial palace and studied at the Qinglan Sword Sect. She was immersed in it and knew that many people had special hobbies.
Maybe she should make some small mistakes from time to time in the future to satisfy her master's hobby. Master has always been helping her, and she should give something back...
"Mr. He, the prince has agreed to your terms." Liu Yi'an glanced at Du Ge and went straight to the point, "I promised to secretly support you with some money and food, and the dragon's teeth will also be allocated to you."
"The prince is indeed a wise man." Duge smiled, "Mr. Liu, I think the prince has seen what He has done these days. I wonder if the prince is satisfied?"
"Not very satisfied." Liu Yi'an said, "The prince said that Mr. He is too well-behaved. There is no sign of chaos in the three counties..."
"That's because the prince didn't see it thoroughly enough." Duge looked at Liu Yi'an and shook his head, "There is a saying that you should take a long-term approach to catch the big fish. The three counties are controlled by the four princesses. Even if it turns into a mess, the Chongming Kingdom will also be in trouble.
It won’t hurt your muscles and bones. But the fourth princess has gained a good reputation and occupied more territory. At that time, once it gets out of control, even the prince may not be able to bear it!"
"Your Majesty is not afraid that he will not be able to bear it, but he is afraid that the chaos will not be thorough enough." Liu Yi'an said.
"Mr. Liu, you might as well go back and tell the prince that the temporary silence is to give the prince more time to prepare." Du Ge smiled and said, "Now, what we are doing is taking risks, borrowing food, cheating food, and tearing down the east wall to make up for it.
Western Wall, one day, when this hole cannot be blocked, we will take all the money, food and troops and fight all the way back to Qingwu Kingdom, leaving a mess. At that time, people in Chongming will be filled with resentment, and the prince will take the opportunity to attack
It’s time.”
"Will public resentment boil over?" Liu Yian asked.
"Yes." Duge nodded, "The territory governed by the four princesses will promote equality between men and women. When we withdraw, those who do not agree with equality between men and women will definitely rebound, and those who have benefited will protect the results of the reform. The contradiction between the two sides is not at all
It may be reconciled, but at that time, it would be impossible not to think about it.
And I have also prepared two plans for the prince to resolve the chaos and ensure that the prince can achieve success in one fell swoop. Even if he cannot overthrow the current majesty, he can still successfully take over the territory established by the four princesses, fight against his majesty, and rule across the river."
"What plan?" Liu Yian asked.
"One plan is called hiding; the other is called transferring conflicts." Duge smiled, "I will write to the prince about the specific implementation method when the first batch of resources are delivered. Now you only need to tell the prince. Four
The extent of the land that the princess has conquered will determine the stability of the prince's future retreat, that's all.
With the wisdom of the prince, he will definitely understand. Mr. Liu, could you please go there again, we don’t have much time, and the sooner we can get financial and food support, the better.”
"Okay, I'll report back to the prince right now." Liu Yi'an glanced at Duge again, turned around and left.
in the room.
Du Ge and Luo Shuang were left alone.
Luo Shuang looked at Du Ge in surprise and said, "Liu Yi'an belongs to the Fourth Prince? Is the Fourth Prince going to rebel?"
"Yes. The fourth prince is our last piece of the puzzle. Water from afar cannot quench our thirst. The money and food support from Beihai and Dachu are too far away. Only the money and food sent by Gu Shiming can solve our urgent need!"
Duge sneered and thought to himself, he just didn't have a feather fan, otherwise he would have been slapped a few times no matter what. So it turns out that being a military advisor is not that difficult!
