"Your Majesty forgive me, the villain deserves to die!"

After slapping himself hard twice, the steward quickly explained the reason.

"The villain just saw that when His Royal Highness Jin Wang returned from this trip, he brought a full 120 carts!"

"120 carts are 120..."

As he said that, Xie Yaochang subconsciously felt something was wrong, and quickly asked: "How many guards and soldiers did Prince Jin bring with him?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, King Jin only has six hundred personal guards during this trip!"

"Six hundred personal guards? But they took away 120 carts..."

As an old fox, Xie Yaochang suddenly understood and his expression changed drastically.

"The big thing is bad!"

With a yell, he ran out and yelled at the same time.

"Quickly summon the children of the family and the soldiers in the city, and follow the king to intercept the king of Jin!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The steward of the Xie family hurriedly responded, and then ran to the side.

In less than a moment, a large group of Xie family guards and children ran out in a hurry, followed behind Xie Yaochang, and ran out.

However, all the way to the gate of the city, I still didn't see the Jinwang motorcade!

Standing on the city wall, Xie Yaochang and others could barely see the thin black line in the distance.

"King Jin runs really fast!"

A child of the Xie family said with emotion.

Xie Yaochang stared at the distance with a sullen face, without saying a word.

At this moment, all the Xie family disciples realized something was wrong.

"Patriarch, what happened?"

Xie Yaochang let out a long breath, then turned to look at the steward beside him.

"You can figure out what exactly King Jin took away?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, 20% of the gold, silver and jewels in the Tuyuhun Palace were taken away. Eighty percent of the gold, silver and jewels were taken away from the more than [-] powerful and wealthy merchants in the city. In addition, the property in the shops in the city was also taken away. Take away [-]%!"

"What a ruthless King Jin..."

Hearing this, Xie Yaochang couldn't help but his eyes darkened, he quickly supported the city wall, and looked at the Jinwang motorcade that was already invisible in the distance, his eyes were full of tears!

On the side, after being stunned for a while, all the Xie family's children were full of resentment and their eyes were red.

Logically speaking, these are all the property of their Xie family!

"What a cunning King Jin!"

"Shameless You!"

"Patriarch, we will definitely report to His Majesty King Jin's shameless behavior!"

"Hateful..."

After slowly taking a few breaths, Xie Yaochang said angrily: "Okay, King Jin is the younger brother of His Majesty, and he has made such a great contribution, how could His Majesty punish King Jin for such a big matter?

Not to mention whether His Majesty will punish King Jin, even those aristocratic families will not wait for this matter for me to blame King Jin!

Well, King Jin just took away some property, at least the food in the city is still in the city, as long as the city and the people in the city are there, it won't take long for these property to be earned back! "

"The master is wise!"

Hearing this, all the disciples of the Xie family also recognized the reality, and immediately complimented him.

The steward at the side was full of anxiety, hesitating to speak.

Xie Yaochang frowned slightly, and asked: "Xie Wu, what else is there? Tell me quickly!"

"My lord, it seems that the food in the city is only enough to last for another month!"

The steward named Xie Wu said cautiously.

"what?"

Xie Yaochang and the rest of the Xie family's children all changed their expressions once again, staring at Xie Wu closely.

"Tell me, what's going on here? How can the majestic Tuyuhun capital have only such a small amount of food reserves that it can't even survive the winter?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I heard that after the Crown Prince and the King of Jin conquered Fucheng City, they only left three months' rations for the people of the entire Fucheng City, and the rest of the food was collected into the army!"

Xie Wu hurriedly reported.

Hearing this, Xie Yaochang almost spurted a mouthful of old blood from his belly, he shook his body, and hurriedly asked again: "Where are the other cities?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the entire city of Tuyuhun is like this!"

The deputy general of the defenders of Fucheng City on the side said directly.

"What a ruthless King Jin!"

The strength of Xie Yaochang's whole body seemed to be sucked away, and he was weak.

Seeing this, the deputy general of the defenders of Fucheng City curled his lips. The king, the prince and others led the army, and they attacked such a big city from thousands of miles away, and took away some of your property and food. Stingy search?

Sure enough, what the king said is right, these aristocratic families are all a group of misers, iron cocks, and pennies!

However, thinking of the current situation of the army, he sighed helplessly in his heart, and slightly arched his hands at Xie Yaochang.

"I also ask King Fuqi to raise food as soon as possible. Otherwise, if there is no military food, I will wait for these defenders to withdraw back to Chang'an by themselves."

"General Zhang, how can you be like this..."

Hearing this, Xie Yaochang was taken aback, and subconsciously looked at Lieutenant General Zhang Changfeng!

"King Fucheng, there is no food in the army, and the last general can't wait to die with his son.

Moreover, we are the frontier army of the Tang Dynasty, and we came this time only to conquer Tuyuhun. Now Tuyuhun has surrendered to our Tang Dynasty. As for Tuyuhun Khan and other famous kings, they have long been escorted to Chang'an of our Tang Dynasty. It's not that His Majesty has ordered me to assist King Fuqi in guarding Fuqi City again. I will go back to Datang with His Royal Highness King Jin long ago! "

Zhang Changfeng, deputy general of Fucheng City, said with a straight face.

"Ugh!"

Xie Yaochang's face became anxious.

"General Zhang, please don't worry. Although the Xie family in Zhao County is not a big family, we have a lot of food in our family. The food in the three cities in this area can still be provided by my Xie family!"

Zhang Changfeng's expression also immediately eased, and he cupped his hands at Xie Yaochang.

"Please don't blame the king Fuqi, the last general also needs to consider the brothers under his command. I also ask the king Fuqi to establish his own private army as soon as possible, and I will withdraw back to the Tang Dynasty sooner!"

Xie Yaochang: "..."

Even these frontier soldiers don't want to stay in Tuyuhun so much?

However, it is also a big family in the south of the Yangtze River, and Xie Yaochang is not that kind of person who stares at the gains and losses in front of him.

After looking at the direction of Datang in the distance, my heart ached for a while.

Xie Yaochang calmed down and stopped thinking about the shameless and treacherous King Jin. Instead, he summoned a group of children from his family to quickly take charge of the entire Fuqi City, as well as the government affairs of the surrounding Zhiguang and Xiling cities.

Afterwards, he quickly dispatched a group of disciples to Datang to buy grain, and at the same time transport grain here from Chen County.

A few days later, in the family motto of the Xie family in the entire Chen County, there was also an additional one: descendants of future generations, be sure to be vigilant to King Jin!

As for the king of Fuqi, Xie Yaochang, after straightening out the government affairs of Fuqi City, he threw Fuqi to his family's heirs, and then returned directly to Chen County to enjoy his luxurious life!

These are all things to talk about later.

……

Chapter 752 Li Xuan: Want to catch a son-in-law?

On the other side, after Li Xuan's convoy was more than 20 miles away from Fucheng City and could not see Fucheng City, the huge convoy also gradually slowed down.

"Your Majesty, these belongings were all seized by our army when they entered the city. Why are you so afraid of the Xie family?"

Zheng Fu, who was sitting in front of the car, couldn't help but wondered.

"Pooh!"

Li Xuan scolded with a smile: "These properties were seized by the king dignifiedly leading his troops, how could he be afraid of that mere Xie family!"

"It's just that Xie Yaochang has just been conferred the title of King Fuqi by His Majesty. This king brought so much property out of Fucheng City in such a grand manner, it is tantamount to shitting on someone's neck. It is really an insult to him!

And this king's detour in this way is to give Xie Yaochang a face. "

As he spoke, Li Xuan looked at Li Baoding and Wang Xuance.

"You guys have to remember that the rivers and lakes are not about fighting and killing, but about the ways of the world! This king has made such a detour, and those who see Xie Yaochang next time, he will never mention it again!"

"Master is wise!"

"Your Majesty Yingming!"

Li Baoding, Wang Xuance, Zheng Fu and others quickly bowed their hands in admiration!

"Okay, hurry up and march, and return to Datang as soon as possible before the next snowfall!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

……

Just after Tuyuhun went from the outside to the inside, the whole country was beaten on the ground by Li Xuan, Cheng Zhijie and other six-way army.

Therefore, at this time, Tuyuhun is the safest time.

The happiest person in the Tuyuhun dance was beheaded by Li Xuan and others.

As for the honest group of young men, they were escorted by Cheng Zhijie, Li Chengqian and others to attack Tubo.

And the small tribes around Tuyuhun were frightened by the master of the Tang Dynasty, and they wished that the whole family would move away from Tuyuhun.

My favorite is Tubo, who often goes down the mountain to plunder Tuyuhun. This time, Li Chengqian, Li Jing and others led tens of thousands of Tang troops and more than [-] Tuyuhun captives.

Therefore, hundreds of carts filled with gold, silver and jewels, guarded by only [-] soldiers, walked on this vast grassland for thousands of miles, like pearls walking at night, and there were no horse bandits who dared to rob them along the way.

The boring journey along the way made Li Xuan very depressed.

ten days later.

A convoy of Li Xuan and others entered the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

Once entering the territory of the Tang Dynasty, the surrounding area became prosperous as far as the naked eye could see.

After resting for a night in Hezhou City, the group of people found the nearest concrete road and headed for Chang'an again.

"Ok?"

Walking, walking, Li Xuan felt a little strange.

"Master, what's wrong?"

Wang Xuance and Li Baoding both looked tense and asked quickly.

"No need to be nervous!"

Li Xuan laughed lightly, "This is in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, where the Cement Avenue is located. Every fifty miles, there is a large inn managed by old soldiers. Although my convoy has a lot of property, there are six hundred armored soldiers escorting it. Which life-or-death person dares to rob Dao!"

"The master is this?"

Wang Xuance and Li Baoding sat up and then slowly lay down.

"Didn't you notice that there are many horse-drawn carriages and even some pedestrians on this road, all heading towards Chang'an along the concrete avenue?"

Li Xuan pulled up the car window and said slowly.

Hearing this, Wang Xuance and Li Baoding could not help but subconsciously open the car window, and looked outside through the glass.

Sure enough, every time they walked a certain distance, several figures, or a carriage, were overtaken on the road outside the car.

"Master, there are so many cities on the cement road, how do you know that these people are all going to Chang'an?"

"In half a month, it will be Chinese New Year. Apart from Chang'an, where else do you think these people can travel away from home?"

Li Xuan glanced at Li Baoding speechlessly, no matter how he felt that Li Baoding was a little silly.

"..."
