After my rebirth, I became the white moonlight in the Beijing circle

When night fell, they took advantage of the darkness to exchange the brothers of the Li Ren Gang with the laborers mobilized by the Ye family, and made some temporary arrangements. Early the next morning, Fu Guiyun and the Ye brothers and sisters led this unique grain transport team to set off from the Ye family.

The 20,000 people led by the Lord of Huayi City were disguised and dispersed to various places to gather information.

Transporting 150,000 shi of grain consumes a huge amount of manpower. Although the more than 20,000 civilians who delivered the grain were all loyal and brave men carefully selected by the Ye family, compared with those fierce and organized pirates, Fu Guiyun was still worried that they would become a burden in a critical moment.

Now that they have all been replaced by members of the Li Ren Gang, she feels more confident that she can win.

This time, we must wipe out the pirate forces in one fell swoop.

The huge grain transport team traveled on the official road for five consecutive days, and the weather was calm the whole time. Fu Guiyun deduced that there were several places where pirates could set up ambushes, but there was no sign of pirates. This made the Ye brothers and sisters and Fu Guiyun himself hesitate.

"Could it be that the pirates are concentrating their forces to attack Liyang City?"

In the carriage, Ye Zhan frowned and looked at Fu Guiyun, reminding her, "Cousin, Princess Zhaoyang's subordinates are all elite soldiers of the Lu family army who have fought with her for many years. They are responsible for transporting grain this time. Hu Yesheng will never dare to confront her head-on. At present, only Liyang is weakly guarded."

"Although the defenses of Liyang City are weak, the pirates led by Hu Yesheng are an isolated force. He does not dare to attack the city rashly."

Fu Guiyun said: "And I asked the mayor of Huayi City to disperse his troops to various important intersections. If the pirates really went to attack Liyang, we should have received the news long ago."

Fu Yan, who was sitting next to her, suddenly spoke up: "Eldest sister, could it be that the spies from Huayi City are coming and going frequently, alerting the pirates and making them dare not come?"

After his reminder, Ye Qiong immediately reacted: "Yes, cousin, you had previously let the assassins of Huayi City hide in the dark, why did you suddenly let them show up."

"The army from Huayi City was known to the world when it rushed to help Liyang. I didn't ask them to show up before because the people who were escorting our grain were all civilians. If they were in danger, they would definitely be unable to withstand the attack of pirates."

Fu Guiyun explained calmly: "So I want Hu Yesheng to be a little afraid and let him guess where the assassins of Huayi City are hiding. He doesn't know our details, so he dare not act rashly. Even if we can't guarantee the annihilation of the pirates, we can ensure that this batch of grain can be transported to Liyang smoothly."

Ye Qiong curled her lips in confusion: "Why did my cousin-in-law change her mind at the last minute?"

Fu Guiyun did not give a direct explanation for this, but Fu Yan guessed her intention.

"Miss, have you forgotten that what our team is transporting is not real food?"

Fu Yan smiled and reminded, "Right now, the leader of the Qingsu Gang is leading the people to transport food by water. Even if the Liren Gang's water transportation method is very sophisticated, it is possible that the pirates will find out. We should return from the official road with great fanfare and order the Huayi City's death squad to escort us. Only then will the pirates believe that we are transporting real food."

Ye Qiong suddenly realized: "So that's it."

Previously, she thought that Fu Sinian, the grandson of the old patriarch of the Fu family, was a well-known figure among the nephews and nephews of the Fu family, but he was snatched away by Princess Zhaoyang. She was a little depressed in her heart. Today, she noticed that the person next to her cousin's wife seemed to be no worse than Fu Sinian.

Fu Guiyun watched silently from the side, and seeing Ye Qiong secretly staring at Fu Yan from time to time, he guessed that this girl must have chosen the fiancé that he and his father had chosen for her.

Although Fu Yan was only the illegitimate son of the fourth branch of the Fu family, Fu Guiyun always thought that he was the most intelligent son of the Fu family, so he persuaded his father to adopt him.

Although Fu Yan has been studying abroad in recent years, he has been in frequent correspondence with her. His mother passed away early, and the mistress of the fourth room was not a kind person, but this cousin never complained to her about any unhappiness in his life in his letters. Instead, he always wrote letters to comfort her.

After she married into the Liyang Palace, her cousin rarely wrote to disturb her. She always felt that Fu Yan was the same kind of person as herself.

To those close to you, do not abandon them when they are down and do not flatter them when they are rich.

She really wanted to be close to this kind of people.

In front of the Ye brothers and sisters, she decided to test Fu Yan's talent.

"Ayan, now that you have seen the mystery, but the pirates are still unwilling to fall into the trap, what do you think should be done?"

Fu Yan thought for a moment before speaking cautiously, "Sister, I think we just need to be more patient right now."

"If my guess is correct, Hu Yesheng must have believed that what we are transporting is real food, and is racking his brains to think of how to rob this batch of food. The best way is naturally to try to lure out the assassins of Huayi City, so he will definitely send people to pretend to attack Liyang. Then we might as well take advantage of their trick and let the mayor of Huayi City lead people to pretend to rescue."

"How could the Third Young Master be so sure that the pirates would only feint an attack on Liyang?"

Ye Zhan was full of doubts: "What if they really change their strategy and attack Liyang?"

"If the pirates had attacked Liyang earlier, we would have been helpless. But now we are halfway through our journey. Even if they really attacked Liyang, we could deal with the pirates who robbed our food and rush back to rescue them."

Fu Yan said calmly, "Liyang City is impregnable. It's not that easy to capture it with the strength of the pirates."

"Immovable?"

Ye Zhan raised his eyebrows: "Liyang City currently only has 2,000 Imperial Guards."

"You are wrong, young master."

Fu Yan glanced at Fu Guiyun with admiration: "When I said impregnable, I didn't mean the small number of defenders, but the support of the people. The Crown Princess is deeply loved by the people. She is thinking about the people of Liyang wholeheartedly. This time she took the risk of transporting grain in the hope that everyone would not suffer from famine. Even for their own sake, the people of Liyang will defend Liyang to the death, just like when the Tuoyue people invaded."

These words really touched Fu Guiyun's heart.

She did not expect the people of Liyang to empathize with her, but she was very confident in her arrangements.

......

In a valley near Lancheng, Hu Yesheng sat quietly on a huge rock. As spies continued to report news about the Daning grain transport team, the commanders became extremely anxious.

"Boss, the Crown Princess's grain team will be able to enter Liyang in a few days. If we don't act now, it will be too late."

"But I heard from the spies that a fleet appeared on the Li River. That's the territory of the Liren Gang. I'm afraid the Ye family's food is all on the ships."

"You're talking nonsense. We are pirates. We make a living on the water. How can we not understand such a simple truth? If we put all the food on the water, how can we escape if we are in danger?"

"In my opinion, the Liren Gang deliberately lured us there so that they could catch us in a trap and divert attention, allowing the Crown Princess's grain team to arrive in Liyang smoothly."

There was a lot of noise all around, but Hu Yesheng had already made a decision.

"That bitch from the Fu family wouldn't be so stupid as to push all the food onto the water. Otherwise, she wouldn't have let the death warriors from Huayi City escort it all the way along the official road."

Hu Yesheng half-squinted his eyes and said with great certainty: "I firmly believe that the Ye family's food is on the official road, and the fleet on the Li River is just a decoy. We must not fall into the trap."

The commanders frowned and said, "But Boss, the 20,000 assassins in Huayi City are not easy to deal with, not to mention that there are tens of thousands of slaves from the Ye family escorting them..."

Before they finished speaking, Hu Yesheng raised his hand to interrupt them: "It's okay. They only have 30,000 guards in total, and there are tens of thousands of civilians escorting the grain. Let's launch a surprise attack. The bitch from the Fu family has to call on the army to protect the grain and grass, and also has to take care of the lives of the civilians. Once chaos breaks out, they will just be a mob."

To be on the safe side, he immediately thought of a safe plan: "Hu Lian, you lead 5,000 people to feint and attack Liyang City, and lure the death squads from Huayi City to rescue them first."

Everyone was impressed by his arrangement and had no more objections. They began to organize their troops and prepare to attack the Daning grain transport team.
