"Click!"

Fanyang City, Yuan Mansion.

Yuan Li pulled out his sword from his waist and slashed hard on the desk in front of him.

"Zhao Heng, how dare you treat my Yuan family like this!" Yuan Li was furious.

He had just received the news that Emperor Zhao Heng gave Shanggu County to the King of Yan.

This means that among the seven counties in Yanzhou, he can control only five counties.

For him, it was tantamount to cutting his flesh on him, how could he not be angry?

"It's all Zhang Kang's fault." Guo Tu has always disliked Zhang Kang.

When Zhang Kang was there, Yuan Li always ignored him and got close to Zhang Kang.

Zhang Kang thought he was in power and disrespectful to him several times.

So Zhang Kang was killed by King Yan, and he was happier than anyone else.

Now even if he dies, he still has remnant in his heart, wanting to slander Zhang Kang to show his intelligence.

Of course, he also wanted to let the dead Zhang Kang take the blame.

After all, King Yan now has Shanggu County, and can completely bypass the counties controlled by Fanyang and the Yuan family and rebuild a commercial road.

The idea he gave Yuan Li was not useful for a long time and was afraid that it would not work.

Thinking of this, he continued: "It was his crime that made the emperor and the ministers afraid of the emperor, and he intended to use the King of Yan to restrain the emperor."

Yuan Li narrowed his eyes, "They are really good at making plans, but I just won't let them go."

King Yan is now a thorn in his eyes and a thorn in his flesh.

Every day when he wakes up, he thinks that the Yan King's fief is next to Fanyang, and he feels no longer tastes when he eats.

Now the King of Yan has another county of territory, with more than 60,000 troops under his command.

There is one thing, there must be two. If the King of Yan makes contributions in the future, wouldn’t the emperor still take the land from his Yuan family and hand it over to the King of Yan?

"You must not continue like this." A layer of cold sweat broke out in Yuan Li's palm.

His Yuan family finally became the number one rich family in Yanzhou.

It can even be ranked alongside the eight major tribes of Dasong immediately.

He cannot be trapped in the hands of this King of Yan.

"Guo Tu, don't you call yourself a poisonous strategist? Now you are talking about what to do now?" Yuan Li came to Guo Tu and stared at him.

Guo Tu was secretly happy, and Yuan Li valued him.

He gently shook the paper fan, and he looked to the north and then to the west, saying, "Your Majesty doesn't have to be too upset. Shanggu County, like Yan County, are among the most poor counties in Yanzhou. It is not easy for the King of Yan to support Yan County through trade. Now, with the addition of Shanggu County, I am afraid that it will be difficult."

Yuan Li nodded when he heard this.

Officials from all over a county need to be supported, and expanding the army also needs to be supported.

Because his autumn hunt did not stop the Beidi people this time, Shanggu County suffered a deeper disaster than before.

Now that King Yan takes over, it is like taking over a mess.

"Also, Beidi Qiushou often traveled to Yan County, while Shanggu County was adjacent to Jinzhou. In the past two years, Xiliang had the ambition to embezzle Jinzhou. At that time, the King of Yan would be attacked on both sides. Perhaps the King of Yan would die without the need for adults to do anything." Guo Tu sneered.

Yuan Li nodded slightly and felt much more comfortable.

"In addition, if the King of Yan arrives in the north to Beidi and fights against Xiliang in the west, the adults can enjoy the benefits of the fisherman and plan for Yanguan. As long as Yanguan is in the hands of the adults, it will be like pinching Dasong's throat."

Yuan Li slapped his thigh, "That's right, yes, I am confused by the matter of King Yan. Yanguan is the top priority."

Then, he was frowning again, "It's just that Yanguan returns to Yanguan. Should I wait for Beidi and Xiliang people to deal with the King of Yan now?"

"Of course, we can't wait. We must let the King of Yan and Xiliang fight to the death, both sides will suffer. At that time, the Lord will get it with one blow." Guo Tu said, "First, the Lord can order the soldiers under his command to disguise as the King of Yan to attack the caravans of the people of Xiliang. The people of Xiliang will definitely hate the King of Yan secretly. Second, the younger one is willing to go to the Black Iron King's tent to provoke the people of Beidi to revenge, and then talk about the two companies' resumption of trade."

"Okay." Yuan Li was overjoyed when he heard this, "Your plan is so deep that I am."

Although the current situation of Da Song is chaotic, the remaining power of the royal family remains.

It was not the time for him to raise troops to get rid of the King of Yan.

So we can only use a plan. If Guo Tu's plan can succeed, it will at least continue to weaken the power of the King of Yan and make him half-dead.

In this way, it will be much easier to deal with yourself.

...

The palace.

After leaving three thousand soldiers in Yuanyang County, Zhao Xu chose to return to Yancheng after helping the people continue to harvest rice.

Now his territory has another Shanggu County, so he naturally needs to plan.

At the same time, the royal family's personal army also needs a new round of recruitment.

What we have to do is to appease the merchants in the business and let them know that there is another way to go.

"If it was Pingjun, it would be much better than Shanggujun."

In the meeting hall, Liu Fu was still struggling with the affairs of Shanggu County.

Everyone around Yan County knew that Shanggu County suffered heavy losses in this autumn hunt.

At the same time, Jinzhou to the west of Shanggu County is not peaceful.

"Oh, my ears are called out. It's better to have one than not. I sigh every day." Chang Wei took out his ears. For him, the larger the land of King Yan, the better, unlike Liu Fu who thought about it more.

Zhao Xu looked relaxed, and he said, "Crisis, crisis, chances in crisis, I think Shanggu County is good."

The location of Shanggu County is equivalent to the contemporary northeast of Taihang Mountain and the area around Zhangjiakou, Hebei.

Contemporary people should know exactly where Taihang Mountain is, that is, the coal province, Jinzhou, which is the Song of Dasong.

In other words, after obtaining Shanggu County, there will be no shortage of coal in the future.

As for the problem of Xiliang, because the Taihang Mountains, a natural barrier, is only one mountain road from Jinzhou to Shanggu County, and is guarded by the relevant passes.

As long as he defends this pass, he can attack and retreat.

"It's good, but because of the war in Jinzhou, I don't know how many refugees have arrived in Shanggu County, and these people have to have a meal."

"As far as Xiaguan knows, Shanggu County is now in chaos, with bandits everywhere, and these bandits are all refugees in Jinzhou who cannot survive."

Liu Fu shook his head and complained to Chang Wei, "You know that training and fighting are really not the main business. I don't know that the firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive. Although the wine in the royal palace has made a lot of money, it consumes a lot. Now, with a Shanggu County, I'm afraid I'll drink the northwest wind."

Zhao Xu smiled, and Liu Fu was considering it right.

The business of the royal family makes money, but it can't stand the big business.

Some time ago, he was worried about business trips because of this problem.

But now he is not worried. As long as the trade route is smooth, he will have a way to make money.

So he said, "Don't worry about this issue. You should think about the problem of silver if you accept Shanggu County, I will consider it."

"Yes, Your Highness." Liu Fu replied yes, it wasn't that he, the housekeeper, who was talking too much, after all, it was his duty.

The three of them were discussing, and Feng'er knocked on the door and said a few words to Zhao Xu.

"Let them enter the city." Zhao Xu said.

"Your Highness, has the imperial edict arrived?" Chang Wei and Liu Fu showed expectations.
