Chapter 113

For the next two days, Shao Shang passed the time in the Changqiu Palace as usual. Every time the queen asked about the battle ahead, the old man looked calm and calm. Unexpectedly, on the seventh day of the army's opening, a report was sent back from the front, and the emperor was half-dead with anger. It is said that he scolded the emperor for half an hour at the Shangshutai, and the Changqiu Palace and the Yue Concubine did not go anywhere.

When Shao Shang was ordered to deliver the porridge and snacks, she was a little trembling. She held Yuan Shen at the corner of the palace alley and asked what was going on.

Yuan Shen frowned and said, "The magistrate of Tongniu County has surrendered to the enemy."

In terms of geography, Shao Shang is confused and can only ask: "Is that a land used by troops?"

"Although it's not far from Shouchun, it's not a major military town." Yuan Shen said, "But the magistrate Yan Zhong came from a poor family, and was personally promoted by His Majesty."

Shao Shang understood in seconds, the old man was beaten in the face.

"This guy named Yan is sick! This time to conquer Shouchun, even those who don't have eyes know that the court will win, but the difference is whether the army can rush back before Zhengdan." Shao Shang said, "At this time, to surrender to the enemy, The brain is definitely not working well."

Yuan Shen put his hands in his sleeves and looked at the sky: "Maybe the magistrate of Yan also has some resentment. I heard that your majesty asked him to lead a county prefect a few years ago, but he was too prudent when he purged the law. With soldiers, the family behind will be forced to turn against him. Your Majesty can only ban him to Tongniu County for the sake of appeasement and for the sake of safety."

Shao Shang pouted and said disapprovingly, "Now that the mighty army is heading to Shouchun, the surname Yan uses this method to vent his anger, and it is no different from seeking death."

"Not necessarily. Yan Zhong still has some talent, otherwise His Majesty would not have promoted him." Yuan Shen smiled, "Tongniu County has a rich copper mine and a huge copper smelting yard. In preparation for the Battle of Shouchun, the imperial court has not levied copper from Tongniu County for the whole year this year and plans to fetch it on the spot. I made a rough calculation, and the county has accumulated 2,000 catties of refined copper."

Shao Shang didn't react: "You mean that the magistrate Yan is greedy for these fine coppers? Why does he want fine coppers? If he wants to be greedy, he should be greedy for gold..."

"Stupid! Holding collecting gold will attracts attention! Those fine coppers are finished products that have already been prepared, as long as the copper is melted, there will be countless coins immediately!" Yuan Shen said angrily, "The report said, a few days ago, Zhong fled with the 2,000 catties of fine copper with his wife and children. Before he left, he pretended to surrender and gave to Peng Zhen of the Tongniu County, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, but he himself did not know where to go. Hmph, Peng Zhen also asked him to put it together."

"Then where did he go? Is there a king in the world..." Yuan Shen interrupted Shao Shang before she could finish her sentence.

"Now the land of Shu is not the land of the king, I heard that Yan Zhong is going to the land of Shu. Even if His Majesty wants to conquer Shu, it will take at least a few years to prepare. By then, Yan Zhong will already disappear completely! "

Shao Shang glanced at Yuan Shen's dignified expression: "He is from the Han family, and he is not afraid of getting involved. It would be good if he went to follow the king of Shu, and the day when His Majesty's army broke through the land of Shu would be the time when he gave his head. But if he changed his name, If he changed his surname and go to the countryside to become a rich man, it will be totally hard to find."
