Chapter 1230: Action is worse than intention

A day later, Li Xu and Cui Zai arrived at Luyi Prefecture.

Luyi is the administrative center of Lu'an Dao and also the largest city in Lu'an Dao.

The entire Lu'an Dao is under the rule of Akiyama Jun.

This is also the confidence of Akiyama-kun in fighting for the throne.

Soon, the two met Akiyama-kun.

Listening to the two people's reports and looking at the gold bars they brought, Akiyama-kun couldn't help but have a hint of greed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and lowered his head in thought.

Of course, he had ideas about the newly discovered gold mines in Zhenhe.

However, sending troops to Zhenhe and seizing the gold mines from Beihuan is no small matter.

Although Beihuan was defeated by Daqian, it was not something that could be manipulated by anyone.

He needs to consider whether Beihuan will go to war with him after seizing the gold mine.

If he goes to war with Beihuan, what are his chances of winning?

Also, is it Beihuan who is secretly mining gold now, or is it Beihuan who is helping Daqian to mine gold?

If Beihuan is stealing gold, can he unite with Daqian to deal with Beihuan? Then, he can cooperate with Daqian to mine the gold?

Akiyama-kun kept thinking and weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

He would definitely want to take possession of such a gold mine.

If he gets the gold mine, he will have more money to recruit soldiers and continuously expand his power.

His feud with the Great King Chi was hardly a secret.

If the Maharajah succeeds to the throne, he will definitely take action against him!

Whether it is to fight for the throne or to protect himself, he must expand his power!

Looking at Qiu Shanjun who was thinking with his head lowered, Cui Zai and Li Shu couldn't help but feel anxious.

I don’t know what Akiyama-kun means.

After a long while, Qiu Shanjun looked up at Li Xu and asked, "Do you think the words of the man who stole the gold are completely credible?"

Li Shu: "Your Highness, do you suspect that there are more guards at the gold mine than just those few?"

"That's not true."

Qiu Shanjun nodded slightly, "We haven't seen the gold mine at all. All we know is what that person said. Whether it is true or not remains to be verified."

Even if he really wanted to rob the gold mine, they couldn't rashly send troops based on that man's few words.

Sending troops is a big deal!

It is necessary to fully ascertain the situation of the gold mine before deciding whether to send troops to seize it.

Cui Zai immediately took over the conversation: "Your Highness can send someone to follow Huliha to sneak into Zhenhe territory and use the small path to go to the vicinity of the gold mine to investigate!"

"Correct!"

Li Shu immediately agreed, "Since that man escaped from the gold mine, it shouldn't be difficult to ask him to take a few people to check the situation of the gold mine!"

Qiu Shanjun thought for a moment, then immediately called four guards and told Li Shu: "Take them back immediately and find a way to sneak into the vicinity of the gold mine to investigate. Make sure you find out the true situation of the gold mine! Do everything in secret and don't alert the guards of the gold mine!"

"As ordered!"

The two men immediately obeyed the order.

……

a few days later.

"Your Highness, Huliha has secretly entered the mountain with a few people!"

Yun Zheng received a report from the scout.

"very good!"

Yun Zheng smiled with satisfaction and waved his hand to signal the scouts to retreat.

Jia Yao pursed her lips and smiled, "It seems that your plan was successful!"

When Yun Zheng made the plan this time, Jia Yao participated in the whole process.

This time, she truly witnessed Yun Zheng's caution.

Take the matter of Heshelie going to the other side of the Dan River to buy food. If she had planned this matter, she would definitely not have thought of breaking the silver into small pieces to pay the bill.

She would definitely not have thought of deliberately showing people Daqian's weapons.

But Yun Zheng was almost comprehensive, deliberately concealing everything and perfectly taking advantage of human nature, making people fall into his trap step by step.

Thinking about how she had been defeated by Yun Zheng several times, she suddenly felt that it was not unfair at all.

Not to mention that when she accepted the military power of Beihuan, Beihuan had already suffered heavy casualties and suffered several defeats.

Even if they fought with equal strength, she would definitely not be a match for this bastard.

This bastard is the nemesis of Bei Huan and himself.

"uncertain."

Although Yun Zheng was happy, he was not yet at the stage of getting carried away. "This is just the first step! Even if this step succeeds, it depends on what the enemy thinks. We have to be cautious until we truly defeat the enemy."

"Ah."

Jia Yao nodded slightly, looking at Yun Zheng with eyes full of admiration and love.

"Should we retreat a little further?" Miaoyin was a little worried. "If those people discover our army, your plan will probably fail."

"Need not."

Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled, "There are so many people guarding the gold mine, and the enemy only has a few people, how dare they pass through the gold mine and come to our side!"

Their two thousand men plus the one thousand men temporarily recruited by Hesheli made a total of three thousand people over there.

Moreover, there are scouts closely monitoring the surrounding situation.

If a few more people were allowed to pass through the gold mine's defense zone and come here, many people would have lost their heads.

"When do you think the enemy will attack if the plan succeeds?"

At this time, Jia Yao asked with a smile again.

"do not know."

Yun Zheng shook his head slightly. "The initiative is in the hands of the enemy. Anyway, if the enemy does not attack before the end of this month, we will have to find another way."

They still have some time to waste.

But it is impossible to just sit there and wait for the enemy to be fooled.

Jia Yao smiled and tilted his head to ask, "If I'm not mistaken, if the enemy army is slow to send troops, you will ask Hesheli to buy food and leak some information to make the enemy think that our food escort team will arrive soon, creating a sense of urgency for the enemy, so that the enemy can launch an attack before our food escort team arrives, right?"

"Why are you so smart!"

Yun Zheng laughed and pinched Jia Yao's chin frivolously.

Isn't releasing the news of escorting grain in advance a preparation for later?

If the enemy still didn't fall for it, he would send people to spread the news of the discovery of the gold mine throughout the Le Dynasty.

See if Akiyama-kun is anxious!

Jia Yao shyly slapped Yun Zheng's claws away and sighed sincerely: "Whoever fights with you will be unlucky!"

Every step of this is full of pitfalls.

After crossing this pit, there is another pit to come!

No wonder my mentor was angered to death by this bastard!

She is still young.

If she was older when she led the troops to fight Yun Zheng, she would probably have been angered to death.

Just as they were talking and laughing, Shen Kuan walked in and grinned at Yun Zheng, "Your Highness, Hailanduo wants to see you."

Shen Kuan's smile looked like he was gloating over someone else's misfortune.

"Bring her in!"

Yun Zheng resisted the urge to kick Shen Kuan on the butt and gave a wink to Jia Yao and Miao Yin.

The two women also looked at Yun Zheng with a gloating look, and at the same time, they came close to Yun Zheng, pretending to look at the map with Yun Zheng and discuss the battle plan.

Yun Zheng was indeed annoyed with Hailanduo.

But right now, they still have to get Hesheli to cooperate with their plan, and it’s not good to be too cold to Hailanduo.

I really hope the enemy will come here quickly!

If there is a war, then Helandra won't have to pester him like this...
