Chapter 1887 Strange Duo City
Its big forehead was right in front of King Peleus's eyes, and its ruthless eyes made him sweat profusely.
"I am the Lord of Yu, the God of War!" As soon as the giant lion opened its mouth, its snake tongue almost licked King Peleus' face. "Didn't you often pray to the Lord God for blessings over the years?"
"Ah, yes, yes!" King Peleus remembered and spoke incoherently, "So what should I do now, God? What should I do now..."
"A few days ago, you expelled the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce according to the words of the Heavenly Lord. The Heavenly Lord was pleased, so he sent me to negotiate with you." If King Pelius had not obeyed, there would be no meeting today. In other words, this opportunity was fought for by King Pelius himself. "Recently, rumors of a fake Dragon God have spread in the Shining Gold Plains, and the gods are unhappy! Do you know who the so-called 'Nine Nether Emperor' is? Oh, you have not only heard of his name, but also seen him in person!"
"Ah? I've seen it before?" King Peleus was surprised. "Please show me, Lord God!"
The legend of the Dragon God killing Miao Zhantian had certainly reached his ears. But Yu Shen said that he had seen the protagonist of the rumor, Emperor Jiuyou?
When did it happen?
The name that God Yu said immediately afterwards made King Peleus so unbelievable that he almost came back to his senses.
"He, He Xiao? Master of Yangshan Island? How is this possible!"
The blue lion snorted.
These stupid mortals, whether it was Situ He or King Peleus, all looked in disbelief when they heard the truth.
"You guys are really being played around by He Xiao." The blue lion growled, "Listen carefully, the Heavenly Lord wants you to do one more thing. As long as you do it, the Peleu Kingdom will be the only one to receive the favor of the Heavenly Lord in the future!"
King Peleus was surprised and delighted.
But when the God of Yu conveyed Bai Zhantian's wishes, King Peleus hesitated visibly again: "Ah, this..."
"If he refuses to deal with He Xiao, even if he has gone astray and betrayed the gods, do you still want to follow him?" God Yu sneered, "What vital interests does He Xiao have with your country of Peleus that is worth your full protection? You are unwilling to take action against him, but how do you know that he doesn't covet your territory?"
"He also wants to 'sweep the Shining Gold'? Hey, is the land you are standing on the Shining Gold Plains?"
King Peleus' eyelids kept moving.
This "trance-like" conversation lasted for more than half an hour, and then the doors and windows of the imperial study were opened.
The billowing green smoke almost scared the palace servants nearby.
However, there was no fire in the imperial study, and there was not even a smell of smoke.
Send the gods away.
……
Thirty days after Miaozhantian's fall, in the north of Yaojing, in the suburbs of Duocheng.
It was already dark, and Yuwen Yong stood on a low hill and looked at Duocheng. It was only a small city, but the north of the city was full of lights after nightfall, forming a sharp contrast with the darkness in the south.
Behind him, there were only about 800 people left.
Yuwen Yong was once a general guarding the northern border of Yao State. He had always been at the front line to resist Luodian. However, he did not expect that the rear was attacked by Baitan Qingyang, the King of Yao was killed, and his homeland was destroyed.
After Bai Tan occupied the capital, Yuwen Yong had to retreat to the northwest. On the way, he reunited with Tu Han and Shan Zezhong, and then turned back to fight the rebellion.
However, after several months of tug-of-war, the last few battles were all disastrous defeats. Tu Han was beheaded, Shan Zezhong's whereabouts were unknown, and more than 4,000 soldiers were killed.
The Baitan army was in hot pursuit, so Yuwen Yong had to flee all the way to Yaojing with the remaining troops. More than a thousand people were lost along the way, some died or escaped.
This is called a crushing defeat.
After finally shaking off the pursuers, Yuwen Yong also fled to the vicinity of Duocheng. The entire army was hungry and tired, and urgently needed to find food.
He had to find a way to feed these 800-plus mouths, otherwise mutiny would be the only thing waiting for him!
At this time, his confidant received a secret report from his fellow villagers that there was food in Duocheng, a lot of food!
It's such a small town, but there are several large warehouses in the north. You can always see carriages and horses coming in and out. A few times, the sacks leaked and all the grain spilled on the ground.
So, Yuwen Yong led the team to sneak over here.
As everyone was eagerly waiting, the scouts who had entered the city to scout the area returned with good news:
"There are four large warehouses and five warehouses in the north of the city. There seems to be a cellar. They are all guarded."
With such a large scale, it is impossible for them to be just a bunch of idiots. "Which faction are they from?"
"Ziwu Guild," the spy continued, "but I saw the flag of Yangshan Guild flying on the carriage."
"Yang Shan?" Yuwen Yong scratched his head, not quite surprised.
The Yangshan Chamber of Commerce did not develop very well in Yao Country, but it flourished everywhere in the Shining Gold Plains except Yao Country. It was said that they did all kinds of business. The businesses of many small countries and even many free cities were closely related to Yangshan.
Yuwen Yong had dealt with Yangshan's master He Xiao many times in Yaodu and knew that he was a very capable man. King Yao even entrusted the construction of Tianshui New City to an outsider like him. His own brother would often drink and have fun with He Xiao.
Perhaps the Ziwu Association also has dealings with the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce.
"How many guards are there?"
"It's hard to estimate, probably more than a hundred."
Yuwen Yong counted the number of people on both sides and waved his hand: "Go!"
Yangshan Chamber of Commerce is a large and powerful company, so they probably don't need this little bit of food. He will just take some, and hopes that the people under him will understand.
Yuwen Yong's army drew their weapons and rushed into the city.
Although they were only the remnants of a force, he knew in his heart that in order to fight a war one must have a strong momentum to take the lead, to be like a tiger rushing down a mountain, and it would be best if one could scare the enemy away directly, thus minimizing losses on one's side.
So the army shouted in unison, making a deafening roar in the middle of the night.
The guards at the north of the city were indeed shocked. The seven or eight people guarding the gate had no time to raise the alarm before they were pushed open by the army.
The Yao people rushed into the warehouse, raised their knives and slashed at the sacks, and what spilled out was indeed all grain, white grain!
Wheat flour, millet, and even sweet potatoes that are very sweet after being cooked!
In several other large vats, there were neatly stacked pieces of dried meat in a beautiful smoky color!
A rough estimate is that there are several hundred kilograms of dried meat and meat jerky alone.
The Yao person is like a mouse that falls into a rice jar, so happy that he doesn't know where to go.
The soldier leader kept giving orders: "Take it away, hurry up, carry it away - wow, there are even yacon fruits!"
The sack the soldier was carrying loosened, and several brown sweet potatoes rolled out of it. One of them broke when it hit the ground, and its cross-section was surprisingly mango-colored and juicy.
This is not sweet potato, but yacon, which can be broken apart and eaten directly as fruit. It is very rich in water and has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying.
When Yuwen Yong came in and saw the situation, he was overjoyed at first, but then he was full of doubts.
He was not like the hungry soldiers under his command, who only wanted to have a full meal when they saw the food. Why did such an inconspicuous town like Duocheng store so many supplies?
Rice, flour, fruit, meat and vegetables, everything is available here. According to his rough estimate, it is enough to supply an army of 20,000 to 30,000 people for more than half a month.
Thinking of the carriages and horses outside flying the Yangshan flag, did he tamper with the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce's material transfer warehouse?
Otherwise, how could an unknown Ziwu Society have such abundant supplies?
