Possessed by Luffy's fruit, I went crazy in ancient times

Xu Yihuan sighed and said: "In that case, let's get down to business first."

Magistrate Liu and Ye Shang nodded.

Magistrate Liu said: "With the number of people we have, it is too slow to go to the next two places. I have inquired about it. Your Majesty's Imperial Guards are at least three thousand. In total, there should be five thousand people."

Yeshang added: "The number of people in this important place in the capital is not too large. The point is that I guess your majesty has discovered that we are going to rebel. There are 80,000 soldiers brought back by Marshal Xue outside the city."

Magistrate Liu suddenly said: "It would be great if there were reinforcements at this moment."

Xu Yihuan interrupted: "According to the food and grass we prepared, the food for the 80,000 soldiers should have been used up by now. Plus it is freezing cold now, the soldiers may not be willing to come out."

Magistrate Liu smiled slightly and said: "Yes, with His Majesty's attitude towards soldiers, he may not be able to control people outside the city, but the one we must guard against now is the Xie family."

Yeshang said: "Yes, Xie Jia"

Xu Yihuan was overjoyed after listening to the analysis of Magistrate Liu and Yeshang. After pondering for a moment, he said: "I heard that the treasury was empty two days ago. I guess His Majesty will not be able to come up with money for a while. The soldiers do not have enough to eat. Those who are willing to fight Very few, let alone those who are hitting us.”

In the days since Banshi returned to the court, Ye Shang and Xu Yihuan have become famous in the army, not only because they provided winter clothes and food for the soldiers, but more importantly, they love the soldiers and are not like the three princes who cursed and insulted them. Soldier.

In terms of appeal, Xu Yihuan and Yeshang's influence is naturally more far-reaching. It is rumored that Marshal Xue is now terminally ill, so the army outside the city will have no one to lead it.

Xu Yihuan began to think about this team. As long as there is this team, it will only be a matter of time before the Xie Mansion and His Majesty are captured.

"I forgot to ask, how many people are there in the patrol camp?" Xu Yihuan raised his eyes and looked around. The black gold was rising in the east. The originally dark night was now as bright as day.

Xu Yihuan clenched her fists, it seemed that today was still a tough battle.

Yeshang said: "The patrol camp is divided into two parts. One part is inside the city, with about five thousand people. This part is distributed at the city gate, city wall and various streets for patrolling, including the main street at the entrance of the palace."

He thought again and calculated: "About 20,000 people."

When Xu Yihuan heard this, she was shocked. She suddenly realized that today's battle was a fight to the death. Either you die or I die.

Yeshang continued: "Originally, today is the day when the mother-in-law asked me to take you into the palace." He looked around and sighed slightly.

Xu Yihuan consoled her: "It's okay. It won't be too late to see you again after Concubine Tao is rescued."

Ye Shang was comforted, so he squeezed out a smile and looked at her tenderly.

Vice General Du said: "Your Majesty has no food and grass, but neither do we. Your Majesty, your troops are all outside the border city. It is too late to mobilize troops."

Xu Yihuan said confidently: "This is Magistrate Lao Liu."

Xu Yihuan looked at Yin Yi and Yin Er and said, "The gold I gave you from the border town is still there."

Yinyiyin's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Yes, yes, Miss Xu has a clever plan, and even this point has been solved."

Xu Yihuan cursed in her heart: It's not her scheming, but Magistrate Liu's scheming. I don't know what he is thinking at the moment?

This little money can indeed be used for emergencies. As long as she can buy food in the city, she can successfully stimulate the morale of the 80,000 soldiers. Naturally, it will be used by her. Xu Yihuan still has lingering fears when she thinks of the number of people in the Gyeonggi army that Ye Shang revealed just now.

She was indeed sloppy.

"Okay, okay, you collect all the gold and give it to Magistrate Liu. Magistrate Liu will lead a team to buy grain from rich households in the city." "Prince Jin, I need you to come with me. Let's go see Xue marshal"

King Jin agreed after only a brief thought.

Xu Tai was sweating profusely as he listened. It was not like he had never experienced such a thing.

Just fifteen years ago, like His Majesty today, he followed his instructions and personally led troops to raise food and funds to attack the city.

Xu Tai looked at Xu Yihuan and Yeshang awkwardly, with regret and hatred in his heart.

Xu Yihuan did not continue to hand over Xu Tai to County Magistrate Liu, and the group set off in two groups.

Magistrate Liu took some Yin guards and his own guards to the city to collect food, while Xu Yihuan took Yeshang and Yin guards to find Marshal Xue.

Xu Yihuan guessed that Marshal Xue was pretending to be ill, and the most legitimate way to successfully control the army outside the city was to get the Tiger Talisman from Marshal Xue.

As long as they have the Tiger Talisman and food and grass, this army is basically in Xu Yihuan's pocket.

Yeshang saw all this, and his emotions became excited. He had thought about this matter countless times over the years, but he never dared to do it because of his mother and concubine.

Today, Miss Xu gave him a push, which burned like a winter flame in his heart, filling his whole body and mind with warmth.

He thought of the civilians and slaves in every border town he conquered. In order to deal with His Majesty's suspicion, he always had no choice but to send some prisoners to deal with it.

And those prisoners were human beings, even though they were just enemy troops, but every time he saw the prisoners being used for fun and entertainment by the royal family and nobles in the arena, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

Therefore, he had soldiers guard every city he captured. The civilians and nobles in the city needed to follow his orders to farm, build roads, and start families.

But unlike other places, Yeshang divided the taxes collected into three parts. One part was used to pay court taxes, the other part was used to store grain, and the last part was used to feed and drink food for the people and soldiers in the city. .

In this way, he built strong barriers in the counties around the border towns of Jin State and continued to develop agriculture.

Although it is not considered wealthy, the life of the people in his territory is not difficult.

As for the people under your Majesty's rule, as we saw on the way back from Xiaocheng, they have no basic human dignity at all. The lives of civilians are like ants, and women and children are just tools provided to the gentry for the civilians to reproduce their labor force. .

As for the Flower House in Yuncheng, it is even more filled with yellow and coldness. Under the flesh-and-blood business, women live in dire straits.

Ye Shang did not continue to think about it. He rode behind Xu Yihuan and followed her towards Marshal Xue's house.

Vice General Du followed closely behind him emotionally, and Xiaochun and Mo'er were also excited to learn that Miss Xu was trying to overthrow the regime.

Over the years, they have lived in fear every day. If they had not met Miss Xu, they would still be fish on the chopping board. Xiaochun was grateful to Miss Xu. Although Mo'er was young, she felt better after listening to Miss Xu's words. Followed by excitement.

On the street at dawn, Xu Yihuan and a group of people were walking smoothly.

"Miss Xu, just turn right and you'll be there." The steward has been following Xu Tai for so many years and knows all about the mansions of the big shots in the capital. He made up his mind after he knew what Xu Yihuan was going to do. He and Ding Da Miss.
