After a few days of investigation.
Finally, he found out the source of income of the Zaojiao Company.
Why did Cai Wu cut off the noble market in the Monarch's Mansion, but he could still make such a huge profit?
So that was the case.
So that was how it was!
It was too late now. Everything was too late.
The business of the soap opera company had already expanded. Even if they tried to restrict those nobles, it would be useless.
What a ruler!
You really tricked me!
Cai Wu's face turned pale as he pushed the servant aside.""How infuriating!"
What was called Incompetent Rage?
This was it.
Cai Wu had thought that by cutting off the noble market, the soap store would lose its profits.
But who knew?
Chen Wei built a plank road in the open and secretly built a warehouse in the dark.
He actually let a servant pretend to be a black market merchant to sell soap to those nobles.
Now that the soap opera company was operating smoothly and its business had gone overseas, no matter how powerful Cai Wu was, he could not control the nobles abroad.
Alas,
It's too late to regret!
Silence. A long silence.
Cai Wu finally waved his hand and dismissed the manservant.
He propped up the table and pondered for a moment. Then, he picked up a roll of bamboo slips and started writing.
He wanted to tell his little brother, who was fighting with Ying Xiao at the border, about his encounter.
As mentioned earlier, during the Spring and Autumn Period, only nobles could fight.
The Cai Clan was passed down from Cai Wu's generation.
One of them was an official, and the other was a soldier.
Now, Cai Wu was a high official and his brother had become a general in the army.
His name was Cai Tao.
In the letter, Cai Wu scolded the actions of the Monarch's Residence.
The heavens pitied him and explained his experience of being ostracized by the monarch.
He was far away from the center of political power, and he could feel the crisis that the Cai Clan was about to face.
At the same time, he hoped that Cai Tao could adapt to the situation on the border battlefield and think of a way to fight for Cai Wu's chance.
What opportunity?
A defeat.
That's right.
Cai Tao served as the left wing of the army and was considered a core member of the military.
It would be too easy to defeat him.
And now, only by losing at the border could Cai Wu obtain the opportunity to seize power.
Cai Wu wasn't stupid. He knew what it meant for the Monarch's Residence to grow stronger.
This meant that the young monarch no longer relied on these old ministers.
He had to take advantage of the fact that the young monarch was still young and act quickly.
This letter…
They were sent out of the capital by a fast horse overnight and headed straight for the border.
Cai Wu was already deeply controlled by anger, jealousy, and greed for power.
……
Time flew.
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed.
On the border of the State of Chen,
The Yue people of the Southern Barbarians began to stir again.
Ying Xiao led a troop of over two thousand people. They were fully equipped and ready to go.
At this moment,
The wind was getting stronger. Ying Xiao stood on top of the city gate and looked at the southern wilderness.
The flag of the Chen Country fluttered in the wind.
Ying Xiao had already defeated the Southern Yue tribes dozens of times at the border.
"General Ying, the scouts at the front line have reported that the Vietnamese have sent out another two thousand armored soldiers to our lungs.”
Soil in the lungs.
The State of Chen was located in a small city in the south.
The place Ying Xiao was guarding was called Nan Pin.
Nanmu was fifty miles away from Feitu, and the army would arrive in less than half a day.
Ying Xiao narrowed his eyes." Inform the entire army. This time, I will personally head to Feitu to defend the city!"”
"Yes!"
Very soon,
The army was ready, and Ying Xiao led the army out.
He wore leather armor and a bronze helmet, looking mighty and strong. A bronze sword hung at his waist.
The horse he was riding on was once gifted to him by the late king, and he had been with Ying Xiao for ten years.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, riding a horse alone would be looked down upon, but in this world, there was no such thing.
For the sake of the Chen Nation, Ying Xiao would do his best until his death.
For Little Chen Jun, Ying Xiao would not hesitate to sacrifice his life.
This time, he wanted to fight the Yue people again.
Rumble!
The city gates opened, and Ying Xiao led the troops to the lungs.
Before he left, he naturally wouldn't leave Nan Pin empty, because the Yue people were cunning and might launch a sneak attack on her.
Therefore, before he left, Ying Xiao left his left wing to guard the Nanpin city gate.
That was Cai Tao.
There is no party in the army.
This was the rule set by the ancestors of the Chen Nation since it was established.
And Cai Tao was Ying Xiao's enemy in the military.
He represented the Cai Clan, the most prominent clan in the Chen Nation.
As the left wing, Cai Tao had many trusted aides in the army.
Sometimes, they would have disagreements with Ying Xiao on military and political matters.
However, once the war started, Ying Xiao, as the general of the army, had absolute leadership.
If anyone dared to disobey military orders during wartime, Ying Xiao had the authority to act first and report later.
Therefore, Ying Xiao wasn't afraid of Cai Tao playing any tricks.
Even if he did something, he would never abandon Nan Pin and let the Yue people take advantage of him.
After all, there was still the righteousness of the country above the party struggle.
The Southern Barbarians were still enemies, and they had the same goal.
Therefore, Ying Xiao was very assured to let Cai Tao guard the city.
Although he didn't listen to his orders, he was very capable.
If he were to defend the city, Nanman would not stand a chance.
……
After the army left the city, they arrived at Feitu in less than half a day.
The scouts reported that the southern barbarians had set up camp twenty miles away from the lungs.
At this moment.
All the generals were gathered in the tent.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, the military positions of each country were different.
The Chen Kingdom was like this:
Win Xiao Ren chariot general, under the left and right wing, division will be two, brigade will be four.
"The Southern Barbarian Army has a total of 2,000 people set up camp 20 miles away. I wonder if you have any good ideas to repel the enemy?”
