Dressed like a deadly enemy

Outside the south gate of Yaodu is a flat crop field, just a few days after harvesting, there are still dry branches of beans in the field, rattled by the horses, and the dry soil is trampled to dust.

Yuanzhou soldiers came aggressively and with vigor.Yuanxi's carriage passed the front army and rushed directly to the city.

"Close the city gate!" Jun Ji ordered to prevent him from entering the city, and then signaled Mu Cheng with his eyes to send Wen Shang into the city tower.

Yuan Xi stood on the carriage, raised his hand to stop the army behind him, the Yuanzhou military order prohibited it, even the horses stopped, and the tens of thousands of troops were silent.

He took off his battle helmet, his face was handsome, his narrow eyes were cold, and he looked up at the closed gate and the people on the city wall.

"Marquis of Yuanzhou, Daxuan treats you well, why did you lead the troops to attack?"

Junji opened his mouth and asked the first question, staring at him so hard that he almost gritted his teeth.

"Son of Heaven, the tax in Yuanzhou is three times that of other states. Isn't that not thin? Forcing my eldest sister to enter Taicheng 17 years ago is not thin? It is also called to force Yuanzhou to cut off the first five cities of Quancheng ten years ago." Not thin?"

His voice was not loud, but his words were clear.

After hearing what he said, Lu Junzhuo figured out why Yuan Ji stole him out of the ancestral temple and sent him out of Taicheng. It turned out that she was unwilling to be forced into the palace.

He looked at Junji. When these things happened, Junji hadn't ascended the throne, and Mu Shuo had always whitewashed the peace, so he naturally didn't know it. It was just that the tax was tripled. The pressure is also great, no wonder it has to be reversed.

"How come the triple tax? Last year's Yuanzhou flood, didn't this year's grain tax be exempted?" Junji occasionally cares about political affairs, and the Sangui will make important matters into a list, and order someone to organize them into a book for him to read. All the officials of the Qingshiliao checked and checked, and the quantity was verified accurately before the report came to his desk.At the time of the spring tax, Qin Zhuolan was also rewarded for it.

The two of them shouted in the city for so long, only to realize that something went wrong, and both of them were kept in the dark.

If this battle is fought, it will really be muddled.

Yun Feitan turned around and wanted to speak, but Lu Junzhuo grabbed his hand, looked at him and shook his head, "My lord, wait a little longer."

With a little force, Yun Feitan was pulled behind the wall of Yuqiang by him, and Lu Junzhuo asked him: "Your Excellency also knows that the supervisors in Yuanzhou are from the Qi family, and the Qi family has always been good at making accounts. Why can Qin Zhuolan see the problem of the spring tax?" , and Yuanzhou is exempt from tax and grain this year. What is the problem he sees? Where did the grain paid by Yuanzhou go?"

"Are you suspecting that Young Master Qin has a deal with the Qi family?" Yun Feitan remembered this after hearing what he said. If this is not the case, could it be that the Qi family did it on purpose?

The decrees sent by Yaodu are generally presented to the supervisors first, and then conveyed to the Marquis of Zhou. The letters of the Marquis of Zhou are also sent directly to Yaodu by the supervisor through the post station. At first, the supervisors had great power, but there have been some changes in recent years. However, some letters from state marquises can also reach the emperor's desk. For example, the letter about the flood in Yuanzhou last year would have been concealed if it had been more than ten years ago.

"I wonder why Qin Taibao suddenly became close to Taifu this year, breaking the previous balance."

The two hid behind the wall of the universe and analyzed it, temporarily ignoring what Junji said over there.

Yuanxi got a little impatient at the foot of the city, the horse pulling the cart snorted, and stepped on the stone road in front of the city gate, there was a rattling sound.

His long and narrow eyes narrowed. Not long ago he received news that Wen Shang had been forced into Yaodu. If it wasn't for this reason, the army would not have rushed to the city so quickly. He ordered the army to march for several hours without even water on the road. Take a sip, now that he didn't see Wen Shang at the top of the city, and worried that something was wrong with him, his patience was almost exhausted.

Suddenly the gate of the city opened, several people came out on horseback, and there was a carriage behind, Jun Ji was the first person, staggering a horse's distance from the people behind.

This little emperor is quite courageous, and now he dares to go out of the city gate.

Yuan Xi raised his eyebrows and stood still on the carriage, waiting for them to approach.

"Yuanhou." Yun Feitan stopped his horse and walked to the front of the carriage to salute. Behind him, Lu Junzhuo was driving the carriage, and Mu Cheng was escorting Wen Shang, who was in a state of distress.None of them brought any followers.

"Master Yun has good means." Yuan Xi could tell Wen Shang's strangeness at a glance, and meeting the Yun family must be a bad thing.He narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked over Wen Shang carefully, making sure that his injury was not serious, before he was relieved.

"There is a reason for treating General Wen like this."

Yun Feitan walked over, held Wen Shang's hand with a little force, released his internal strength, turned around and said: "This is the sincerity from the emperor to Marquis Yuan, please enter the city."

"Wait." Yuan Xi raised the corners of his lips, looked at the army behind him, and then looked straight at Junji: "Will the emperor allow my army to enter the city?"

"You!" Jun Ji glared at him angrily, did he regard Yaodu as Yuanzhou Island?

Previously on the tower, Yun Feitan persuaded him to go out of the city to meet Yuanxi, if he could explain the misunderstanding clearly and not go to war, there would be room for Yaodu to turn his life around.

Junji thought to himself that his grandfather was not around, and there were not many people he could trust. If he fought with Yuanxi now, he would lose troops and generals, and if some of the courtiers had different intentions, the situation would be bad.

After all, he had never been on the battlefield. He was provoked by Qi Zai just now, and he went to the top of the city in a flash of enthusiasm. He was still a little terrified when he saw the Yuanzhou army in front of the city gate.But he is thin-faced and dare not show it.

Yun Feitan happened to give him a step to go down.

Mu Cheng originally disagreed, but was dragged aside by Lu Junzhuo and muttered for a while, and reluctantly agreed.

"You'd better tell the truth, or I'll kill you too!" He threatened Lu Junzhuo by the collar.

Yuan Xi's troops came to the city, firstly because of tax issues, and secondly because of bringing back Yuan Ji and Wen Shang, if he could achieve his goal without fighting, it would be great, he is not a belligerent person.

"Wen Shang, you lead the army to set up camp five miles away, and I will enter the city."

He pondered for a moment, then ordered to his subordinate general.

"Master Hou, it's too dangerous for you to go alone, I can't trust them." Wen Shang quickly walked up to him and stopped him, with pleading eyes.

Yuan Xi stretched out his hand to pat him on the shoulder, and walked past him, "You obey the order now, how can I not hold you accountable for making claims."

He pushed Wen Shang's shoulder down with a little force, and the two looked at each other, his eyes were firm, without flinching, and after a while, Wen Shang was defeated.

He said unwillingly, "I'll just wait outside the city for one day. If you don't come out, I will invade Yaodu and flatten Jinlongtai!"

Everyone has felt his determination and will not underestimate him.

Lu Junzhuo took a horse and handed him the rein, "General, don't worry, no one will harm Yuanhou."

Feeling a little confused, he took the reins, took a deep look at Yuan Xi, then got on his horse and galloped towards the Yuanzhou army.
