Chapter 224 Easy to Solve

Zhao Sheng learned that Chen Da, the general stationed in Langya, had colluded with Zhang Xiaosi, a remnant of the Zhang family army, to accumulate strength in the local area and actually wanted to attack Yizhou.

Zhao Sheng looked serious and walked quickly into the room of Intelligence Bureau Director Zhao Yongsheng.

"Yongsheng, this is an emergency!"

Zhao Yongsheng quickly stood up and bowed respectfully: "Your Majesty, please speak."

"I've received accurate information. Langya's garrison commander, Chen Da, has colluded with Zhang Xiaosi, a remnant of the Zhang family army, to secretly gather strength in the area in an attempt to attack Yizhou!"

Zhao Yongsheng looked terrified and said, "My Lord, what should we do?"

Zhao Sheng's eyes were determined as he paced back and forth. "You and I need to come up with a plan as soon as possible. We must not let their conspiracy succeed."

Zhao Yongsheng lowered his head slightly and said carefully, "My Lord, in my humble opinion, the most urgent task is to first find out the strength of their troops and their specific action plan."

"Then you should immediately arrange for reliable personnel to infiltrate Langya to investigate. Are there any difficulties?"

Zhao Sheng stopped and looked at Zhao Yongsheng, who quickly replied, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best, even if it means going through fire and water!"

Zhao Sheng nodded slightly. "Okay! I'll arrange for the troop assembly in the city. But time is running out. I wonder if we can prepare before they take action."

"Don't worry, my lord. I will fulfill my mission and obtain the information as soon as possible."

"Also, allied forces in the surrounding area must be informed secretly, just in case."

"Yes, I will obey your orders."

"Then act immediately, don't delay!"

"Subordinate to obey!"

After Zhao Yongsheng left, Zhao Sheng frowned and continued to think about various possible situations in the room.

Soon, the spies sent by Zhao Yongsheng set out one after another and headed towards Langya.

Zhao Sheng also began to gather and deploy the troops in the city. He personally inspected the barracks to boost morale, and the soldiers were all ready to fight and meet the enemy.

Two days later, Zhao Yongsheng returned to Zhao Sheng in a hurry.

"My Lord, something bad has happened!" Zhao Yongsheng said, gasping for breath.

Zhao Sheng's heart tightened: "What's going on? Tell me quickly!"

Zhao Yongsheng's face was filled with anxiety. "The spies reported that Chen Da and Zhang Xiaosi's forces far exceeded our expectations, and they seem to be preparing to act in advance."

Zhao Sheng's eyes narrowed: "What should I do?"

At this moment, Ma Biao of the First Special Division walked in, clasped his fists and said, "Sir, I am willing to obey your orders!"

Zhao Sheng looked at Ma Biao and said, "General Ma, the situation is critical now. Do you have any plan to deal with it?"

Ma Biao pondered for a moment and said, "Sir, in my opinion, we can take advantage of the terrain of Yizhou and set up an ambush."

Zhao Yongsheng thought for a moment and said, "My Lord, how about we ask for reinforcements from the neighboring city?"

Zhao Sheng shook his head. "We're running out of time. Let's do as General Ma says. General Ma, quickly arrange the ambush."

Ma Biao took the order and left.

He took the Special 1st Division to Langya, but not to fight, but to intimidate Chen Da. After all, they were his own team, and Zhao Sheng wanted to give them a chance.

In Luancheng, Zhao Sheng discussed the situation with Zhao Yongsheng with a serious expression.

The troops led by Ma Biao were well-disciplined and had an imposing manner.

When Chen Da learned that Ma Biao was coming, he was shocked.

"What does this mean? Is the prince consort going to attack me?" Chen Da was terrified.

His advisors advised: "General, why not send someone to explore the situation first?"

Chen Da hurriedly sent someone to contact Ma Biao, who righteously stated his purpose: "General Chen, please do not make any mistakes. I hope you will stop colluding with Zhang Xiaosi immediately."

Chen Da was struggling in his heart. On the one hand, he was afraid of the majesty of the prince consort, and on the other hand, he was reluctant to give up the interests he had planned with Zhang Xiaosi.

In Yizhou, Xing Shuren kept a close eye on the movements in Langya and strengthened the city's defenses just in case.

"Come here, pay close attention to the situation on all sides. Report any signs of trouble immediately!" Xing Shuren ordered.

Zhao Sheng in Luancheng was also anxiously waiting for news from Langya.

"Zhao Yongsheng, if Chen Da doesn't listen to our advice, we must prepare for the worst." Zhao Sheng was worried.

Zhao Yongsheng nodded and said, "Don't worry, my Lord, everything is ready."

Just when everyone was worried, news came from Langya that Chen Da decided to draw a clear line with Zhang Xiaosi and no longer participate in his conspiracy.

The crisis in Yizhou City has been temporarily resolved, but Zhao Sheng understands that this is only temporary peace and the future situation is still full of variables.

……

Pharmacist Guo learned that the news that Zhao Sheng was the current sixth prince had not been spread. He knew there was some secret in it, and he needed to investigate it secretly.

then,

Therefore, Pharmacist Guo began to secretly investigate Zhao Sheng's past and current whereabouts. He sent his most trusted confidant to secretly collect all the information about Zhao Sheng.

At the same time, Zhao Sheng was unaware of Pharmacist Guo's actions and was still focused on dealing with the current situation.

Pharmacist Guo's confidants inquired everywhere, even offering bribes to those who might know the inside story. Finally, they got some clues.

However, these clues only made Pharmacist Guo more puzzled. It turned out that there seemed to be many doubts about Zhao Sheng's life experience, and some key time periods and events seemed unclear.

Pharmacist Guo frowned, lost in thought: "What secret is hidden in this? Could it be related to the struggle for the throne?"

As Pharmacist Guo ponders this, his investigation draws the attention of others. A mysterious force begins to sabotage his plans, preventing him from gaining more of the truth.

Pharmacist Guo knew that he had fallen into a dangerous vortex, but he was unwilling to give up. He decided to take the risk and investigate in depth to uncover the secret behind Zhao Sheng.

But what he didn't know was that his every move was being closely watched by a pair of eyes, and a bigger conspiracy was waiting for him...

The Caoyunsi was not as smoothly controlled as Zhao Wei had thought.

After all, they are just poor laborers who need money everywhere, but these people were taken back by the imperial court and now want to be used. It is more than just difficult to describe it.

Zhao Wei paced back and forth in his study, his brow furrowed. He had originally thought that taking control of the Canal Transport Bureau would be a piece of cake, but he hadn't expected the difficulties to be so numerous.

"These coolies usually work hard to make a living. It's really not easy to get them to obey orders now." Zhao Wei said to himself.

At this time, his confidant came in and said cautiously: "Sir, the people below are complaining, saying that the court has taken away some of their benefits and now they are asking them to work, and they are reluctant."

Zhao Wei slammed the table angrily: "Humph! These ungrateful people, don't they know that this is for the court, for the greater good?"

The confidant bowed his head and said, "Please calm down, my lord, but what should we do now? We can't force them."

Zhao Wei fell into deep thought again. After a moment, he said, "Go, spread the word. Tell them that as long as they work hard, the court will not treat them unfairly and will reward them handsomely in the future."

The confidant hesitated: "Sir, will this work?"

Zhao Wei glared at him and said, "Let's try it first. It's better than doing nothing."

The confidant took the order and left, while Zhao Wei continued to think about countermeasures in the study.

But after a few days, the situation showed no significant improvement. The coolies continued to slack off, and the affairs of the Canal Transport Bureau remained stagnant.

Zhao Wei was extremely anxious. He knew that if this matter was not properly resolved, his future would be in jeopardy.

Just when Zhao Wei was at his wit's end, someone suddenly gave him an idea...
