When Bu Dugen set his eyes on Yanmen,
The Vermilion Bird Emissary of the Brocade Guard had found Yang Yu.
"My lord, I found some Han people in Mayi County who were sending information to the Xianbei people. What do you think? Do you want to…"
The Vermilion Bird Emissary made a cutting gesture in front of her chest.
Looking at the protruding curve of the Vermilion Bird Emissary, Yang Yu was stunned.""Cut that part?"
The Vermilion Bird Emissary's valiant face suddenly blushed.""How can my lord tease me like this? This subordinate said decapitation!"
" That's right, I'm talking about decapitation. Do you actually think…" Yang Yu immediately became serious.
The Vermilion Bird Emissary immediately pouted to show her dissatisfaction.
Yang Yu smiled and retracted his thoughts. After pondering for a while, he suddenly revealed a sly smile."Continue to send people to monitor the people in Mayi. Try your best to find all the spies in this area. But don't alarm them. I have my own arrangements.”
After the Vermilion Bird Emissary left, Yang Yu sent someone to call Li Jing.""Tonight, bring twenty thousand soldiers with you and station them outside Mayi City. Try not to be discovered. If the Xianbei people attack Mayi City, just pass through the city and kill your way out.”
Li Jing frowned." My lord, I was drinking with the Green Dragon Envoy today. He said that there are many Xianbei people in this area. They have eyes everywhere. Even if we leave in the middle of the night, we might be noticed." I think it will be very difficult for the Xianbei people not to notice.”
Yang Yu nodded." You're right. However, whether this plan works or not is beneficial to both of us." If the Xianbei people don't fall for it, we'll harvest the crops and consolidate the situation here. If they were tricked, they would be caught off guard and suffer a huge loss. In short, I can take advantage of it."
Li Jing understood and immediately went to prepare. That night, he led his troops and left.
Not long after, Wei Zheng was summoned by him again."How is the security in the counties now?”
Wei Zheng shook his head. "However, the minions who used to rely on those large clans have now cut off their sources of income and are thinking of taking revenge on us. There are also some commoners who have been incited. Things are more complicated. I was just thinking about whether to capture and imprison the main active people on a large scale, or even directly execute them!”
Yang Yu thought for a while and sneered,""Leave this matter to the Embroidered Uniform Guards to do secretly. However, don't touch Mayi. I still have use for these people in Mayi.”
Wei Zheng looked at Yang Yu in confusion and suddenly had a look of realization."My lord, do you want these people to confuse the Xianbei people and make them think that Mayi is in chaos so that they can take the opportunity to attack?”
Yang Yu nodded. That's right, I called Luo Cheng and the others over a while ago to secretly take over Mayi's army. I also asked Li Jing to lead the army and ambush outside Mayi City! The Vermilion Bird Emissary has told me that there are many spies in Mayi City. If these people tell the Xianbei people about Mayi City, perhaps the Xianbei people will march south this year! At that time, killing them by surprise would be a great merit!”
Wei Zheng was stunned for a moment before clicking his tongue."My lord's thoughts are really unrestrained! If this plan succeeded, not only would the Xianbei people suffer heavy losses, but the key was that there would be no food this winter. Many people might starve to death, and there might even be internal strife for food! Amazing!"
It was already past September, and the autumn harvest had already begun in some places.
Bu Dugen also stepped up his investigation of Mayi.
In the past few days, there had been an endless stream of scouts from Mayi, and the news they reported was almost the same!
Firstly, Mayi had yet to have a county magistrate. It was a mess!
Secondly, County Governor Yang Yu had offended the Wang Clan of Taiyuan. Now that the Wang Clan was no longer providing food, Mayi was short of food!
Thirdly, the county magistrates had colluded with the local prominent families to oppress the commoners. Now that the county governor, Yang Yu, had cut off their sources of income, the various places were surging with internal strife!
Fourthly, Yang Yu, the county governor, did not care about Mayi and moved all the wealth of the county magistrates to the Yin Mansion. He was obviously a greedy and short-sighted mediocre person.
When Bu Dugen heard this news every day, he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth."All kinds of evidence show that Yang Yu is a good-for-nothing. It seems that God is helping me this year and wants my clansmen to have a good winter!”
Thus, Bu Dugen began to gather his clansmen from the surroundings and select the young and strong ones, as long as they were twelve years old or above. It was as if he was going to go to Old Jin.
By the middle of September, Bu Dugen had already gathered 200,000 troops and entered Yunzhong from the depths of the grassland.
While Bu Dugen's scouts were constantly spying, the Embroidered Uniform Guards were also secretly operating on the grasslands. They soon discovered the tracks of the Xianbei people and found out that most of them were gathered in Yunzhong.
Soon, the Vermilion Bird Emissary came to Yang Yu's place.""My lord, the Xianbei people have already sent 200,000 cavalry to Yunzhong and are resupplying. They will attack Mayi at the end of September!”
"Could it be that our plan is flawless?" Yang Yu asked in surprise. They didn't even realize that this was a trap?”
The Vermilion Bird Emissary hesitated for a moment and whispered,""After all, there are 200,000 people! Perhaps, even if he knew, he would still have the confidence to break through the city!”
Yang Yu looked at the Vermilion Bird Emissary in surprise.""Vermilion Bird Emissary, not only are you beautiful, but your thoughts are also very clear!”
When the Vermilion Bird Emissary heard Yang Yu praise her, she was instantly overjoyed. She lowered her head and bit her red lips, trying her best to hold back her laughter.
"However, you still don't understand the habits of the Xianbei people. If they have any doubts, they will definitely investigate. They won't take any risks. Since the army is gathered in the clouds, they must be unaware of our arrangements! Go tell Luo Cheng, Huang Zhong and the rest to control Mayi's original soldiers. They must obtain the loyalty of the soldiers before the Xianbei people arrive and form a reliable fighting force!”
"This subordinate will go now!" The Vermilion Bird Emissary immediately left happily, looking ten times more enthusiastic than before.
" Women..." Yang Yu shook his head and sighed. Then, he called Wei Zheng over.
"Wei Zheng, other than Mayi, how are the other 11 counties?”
Wei Zheng had a rare smile on his face today."Finally, we didn't let down the lord's trust. With the help of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, we have already assassinated all the remaining rebels in the counties. Those large clans now know how powerful we are and don't dare to openly incite the people to fight against us. What does the lord plan to do next?”
Yang Yu smiled and took out Qu Yuanli's blueprint."Send people to the various counties and hire carpenters from all over the country with a lot of money. Bring them all to the Yin Mansion and tell the outside world that they will build an official residence for me. The more, the better!"
