"Go and bring me the inkstone!" Zhou Heng asked Hou Wei to bring his own inkstone.
"good."
Hou Wei turned around and took Zhou Heng's inkstone and put it in front of Zhou Heng.
Zhou Heng split the paper, then lightly smeared a layer of ink on the finger of the boss of Macheng Buzhuang, and then rolled it gently on the paper.
A few lines of small characters suddenly appeared on the paper.
The wrench looks like an exquisitely carved wrench, but there is a mystery hidden inside. The wrench in Zhou Heng's hand has the right to mobilize the secret agents of Jinyiwei.
"It seems that this person's status is not low in Jinyiwei, and he is actually a Jinyiwei." Zhou Heng said looking at a line of small characters that appeared.
Jin Yiwei's affairs, this is considered to be a fourth-rank official position.
"Unfortunately, this person was not captured alive."
Hou Wei said regretfully, if they can catch this person, they will definitely gain a lot.
"It's very good to have such a harvest." Zhou Heng said with satisfaction. It is already a very good result to be able to kill a guard in Jinyi.
You must know that arranging a spy requires a lot of effort. They must start ambush very early, and they must slowly integrate into the life around them.
It takes at least ten years of preparation for a royal guard.
Therefore, although they did not have the final victory in this matter, Nantang also paid a great price, and the two sides were regarded as a tie
In the next few days, both parties lived in peace.
Zhou Heng was not in a hurry to fight back, and Zhu Houde also stayed in Victory City.
"Marshal, what's the situation in Macheng?" Someone came to Zhu Houde's camp and asked, and it had been almost half a month without any movement.
Especially in the past few days, they have not received any news.
"Zhou Heng almost investigated Zhou Kai. All the people we placed in Macheng were tricked out by Zhou Heng's tricks. We have no one in Macheng."
Zhu Houde said disappointedly, Zhou Heng is really a very powerful person.
"Have all our people been discovered?"
The people who came here couldn't believe it. The people they planted in Macheng hadn't been discovered for ten years, so how could they be discovered suddenly.
"Zhou Heng used grain and grass as bait, and our people came out one by one, and several people were arrested by Zhou Heng. Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhou Kai withdrew and left Macheng."
Zhu Houde said lightly.
Zhou Kai gave Zhu Houde one last detail before leaving, and told Zhu Houde about the situation in Macheng. These are the only things he can do.
"This trash."
Someone said discouragedly that Zhou Kai actually left at the critical moment.
"Marshal, should we tell about Zhou Kai's matter? It is very likely that our plan failed because of him." One person suggested that since they are having a hard time, Zhou Kai will also be having a hard time.
"No, Zhou Kai is still useful to us."
Zhu Houde said seriously, Zhou Kai is the prince, and keeping Zhou Kai is more useful. In the past, Zhu Houde was just trying to scare Zhou Kai, but he was really reluctant to sell Zhou Kai.
"I'm rotten about Zhou Kai's affairs. Don't tell anyone. If anyone is found out by me and talks nonsense, don't blame me for military law."
Zhu Houde reminded everyone in front of him.
"clear!"
Everyone nodded
"Report!" A soldier walked in from outside the tent, "Report to Marshal, we have delivered the food and grass you asked for, but there are only five million tons of food and grass."
Soldiers came in to report.
"How come there are only five million dans?" Zhu Houde frowned, Zhu Houde was a little confused, he obviously asked the court for 15 million dans of grain and grass, why did he only bring one-third of the grain and grass for himself?
"When will the 10 million dans of grain and grass under him be delivered?" The lieutenant next to Zhu Houde also immediately asked how long the 5 million dans of grain and grass could last.
They must be fully prepared. Once the food and grass are in short supply, they can only withdraw their troops.
"The marshal doesn't have ten million loads of food."
Channing came in from the outside.
"Master Qian?" Seeing Qian Ning, Zhu Houde had a look of shock on his face. Zhu Houde did not expect that Qian Ning would come over in person.
"Marshal!" Qian Ning saluted, then took out the?The imperial decree was handed to Zhu Houde, "Marshal, this is an imperial edict from the emperor's subordinate officials."
Qian Ning handed the imperial decree to Zhu Houde.
"Thank you."
Zhu Houde said thank you, and then opened the imperial decree. After reading the imperial decree, Zhu Houde's expression became more dignified, as if his whole figure had been crushed by a mountain.
The content of the imperial decree is that if Zhu Houde fails to make progress, he will withdraw his troops, and the Southern Tang court will no longer have any support. The five million dan of grain and grass is the last support.
"Why?"
Zhu Houde was a little confused. Everyone knew that fighting a war was not a child's play. How could it be possible to win as soon as you said it? This is a long-term contest.
What does it mean to withdraw troops if there is no progress? Five million tons of food and grass are the last support.
"Now the court is also in difficulty."
Qian Ning said helplessly, as long as the imperial court has such a way, it will not make such a bad move.
"What difficulties did you encounter?" Zhu Houde asked hastily.
"The merchants of the Great Zhou Dynasty began to withdraw from Nantang one after another, ending my business with Nantang. In just half a month, our economy in Nantang was in turmoil, and many things could no longer be sold. Now there is a panic. If this continues, it may The foundation of the country is about to be shaken," Qian Ning explained.
No one expected that those businessmen who had always been chasing profit would become very united, and they all left Nantang together.
Many businesses in Southern Tang have been forced to suspend.
For this reason, many people in the Southern Tang Dynasty began to jointly report, hoping that the court would put the overall situation first, stop the war with the Great Zhou, and restore the Southern Tang Dynasty to its usual state.
The court is people-oriented, and now that the people are unwilling to let the Southern Tang fight, the court must take the people's minds into consideration.
Therefore, the court had no choice but to withdraw troops, but before withdrawing troops, it wanted Zhu Houde to try one last time.
After all, this time we dispatched troops, we can't go back without any gains.
"It's said that businessmen harm the country and seek profit. I never thought that the one who helped Da Zhou was actually a businessman. It's really unbelievable." After listening to Qian Ning's words, Zhu Houde also understood.
The court is also under pressure. If the court ignores the people, it will be bad if there is a greater loss.
"Yes, I heard that this incident was mainly due to Zhou Heng. Zhou Heng opened a Zhiyuan Chamber of Commerce in Chang'an, and attracted all businessmen from all walks of life. Everyone gathered together to boycott Nantang."
Qian Ning learned from Song Yunqing's information why the merchants of Da Zhou became so united, it was all because of Zhou Heng.
"this"
Zhu Houde was speechless. He didn't expect that Zhou Heng's battlefields were everywhere. Zhou Heng not only marched and fought, fought traitors, found spies, but also used businessmen to attack opponents.
