Chapter 229 No one wants to be a slave of another country

This did not sound wrong. After all, Yuan Qi had just mentioned His Majesty and even accused the other party of attempting to proclaim himself king while defending the city.

Such a big hat is almost equivalent to "treason".

Even if the guards were unwilling, they had to give way and let them pass...

Looking at this series of logic, there seems to be nothing wrong.

But Yun Jiyou always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put it into words for the time being!

The imperial guards escorting the relief silver and grain this time are the elite troops in the capital, with a total of 500 people, just to prevent the news from leaking out and some daring enough to take action halfway.

With five hundred elite guards and the experienced Lieutenant General Yuan Qi beside the eldest prince, there seems to be no problem with the personnel for this trip. Even if someone really wants to take action, they have to weigh the cost of offending the court and the royal family.

but...

The biggest oversight on this trip was the sudden outbreak of war, and the city of Xianyang was completely controlled by Western Chu without any movement!

The city of Xianyang soon received the news that the relief team was about to arrive. When this news reached Qi Jianshu's ears, he stared at the north gate that had been difficult to capture for a long time, and smiled in a rare good mood.

"You've come just in time. As long as we seize this batch of goods, we will have enough food for the next month. Even if we have to waste it, we can kill Han Yaojun and the others!"

Qi Jianshu had figured out early on that there were not many reserve grains and medicinal materials in the city of Xi'an. This disaster relief team sent by the Great Zhou court must be Han Yaojun and his men's greatest hope.

Once Qi Jianshu withholds this batch of disaster relief grain, the situation will change drastically!

Qi Jianshu had already set his sights on the disaster relief team. He was in a good mood and ordered, "Go, tell them to do everything they can to seize this batch of disaster relief grain for me."

“…Should we kill those people or…?” The confidant made a gesture of wiping his neck, his eyes cold.

When he said this, people who didn't know would think he was just killing cats and dogs without any emotion involved.

Qi Jianshu looked calm and shook his head, "Don't worry, just detain them all first."

The confidant didn't understand why General Qi didn't order the killing, but out of loyalty to Qi Jianshu, he had no doubts about the order he gave and instinctively nodded and carried it out.

"Yes."

As for Chu Xi, who had already set out at this time, he suddenly remembered that the court might have done something. If the court arranged a disaster relief team to come down.

When passing through Xianyang City, Qi Jianshu will definitely attack the disaster relief team!

Whether for the purpose of increasing the reserve of strategic resources or to completely block the news of the rebellion in Xianyang City from the outside world, he would "eliminate" the disaster relief team or take control of it.

Thinking of this, she immediately sent her most trusted loyal and brave Marquis Mansion secret guard back to Xi'an City and said, "Tell General Han to find someone to sneak into Xianyang City and hide there by all means to wait for the arrival of the disaster relief team!"

“Once the relief team really enters Xianyang City, we must get in touch with them as soon as possible and tell them not to struggle too hard. They should pretend to surrender first and save their lives first. Only when they are there can we make long-term plans!”

Death is not scary, meaningless death is scary.

The Great Zhou has now fallen into a situation of fratricide. If more blood is shed, the only ones who will benefit will be countries like Japan who are sitting on the sidelines and watching the fight.

Chu Xi thought about it and decided that if the Eighth Prince and Xi Chu really joined forces, they would definitely not want Zhou Yichen to return to the capital, and this news would most likely be told to Qi Jianshu.

For Qi Jianshu, this batch of relief grain was just icing on the cake, but for all the soldiers and civilians in Xi'an City, this batch of relief grain was a timely help and the hope of everyone.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, she still hopes that Han Yaojun can find a way to transport people out of the city...

Of course, she also knew the difficulty of this matter.

Zhou Yichen's gaze lingered on her jade-like, extremely elegant profile for a long while, without refutation. Indeed, there was no better way than for Qi Bai to say it out loud.

"As for the food...if we can't successfully transport it out of Xianyang City and send it to Xi'an City, then we should find a way to burn it. We must not add any more to Qi Jianshu's arsenal!"

Chu Xi's eyes were firm. He said this without much hesitation, and finally said, "Tell General Han that the most people in Xianyang City are not soldiers, but civilians. Now Qi Jianshu has pulled tens of thousands of defenders in the city to the outskirts of Xi'an, leaving Xianyang City without troops..."

"Find a way to let the people know that it is no longer General Wang who controls Xianyang City, but the people of Western Chu. This will be a good starting point, and perhaps it will help the disaster relief team regain control of Xianyang City."

Zhou Yichen's eyes lit up instantly, and he immediately understood what Qi Bai meant, "You are right. Xianyang City is short of troops now, and is divided into two camps, the Western Chu people and the Great Zhou. There is definitely room for us to take advantage of the situation!"

This is indeed a great opportunity.

Even if Qi Jianshu reacted and wanted to turn around and go back to support Xianyang City, he would still need to allocate a certain amount of troops.

The only problem in the operation is that the officials sent down to carry out disaster relief work must not be from Zhou Hanjin's faction.

Otherwise, no matter how much the other party could not bear the internal division of the Great Zhou, they would probably not be able to make a decision on their own because they had already joined the Eighth Prince's camp.

"What if the official sent down is Lao Ba's man? " Zhou Yichen frowned, looking serious.

He believed that Lao Ba would fight to the end for such a dangerous and meticulous plan and keep the disaster relief matters under the control of officials from his own faction.

Of course, Zhou Hanjin did fight to the end at the beginning...

However, due to the flood, the news was not well-informed, so Zhou Yichen still doesn’t know that the matter has fallen on Yun Jiyu.

Chu Xi was also temporarily stumped by Zhou Yichen's question. After a moment of silence, he said to the secret guard, "Then let General Han send Chu Er to sneak into Xianyang City, tie up the enemy, and make the news that tens of thousands of defenders in the city have rebelled public. I believe that the people of the Great Zhou have a scale in their hearts!"

Zhou Yichen pursed his lips into a straight line, and then whispered, "No one wants to be a slave of another country. I think the people of Xianyang City should be the same."

He knew that Qi Bai's choice was right.

However, when it comes to execution, the greatest danger and variables are on Chu Er. Qi Bai is putting his most trusted right-hand man in the most dangerous place.

Chu Xi didn't say anything else. As for the secret guard, after receiving all the information she told him, he turned around and plunged into the darkness without looking back, and left quickly in the opposite direction of them using light skills.

She watched the secret guard leave, her eyes darkening, "I hope it's not too late."
