Chapter 266 The prelude was successfully completed
The confidant sent by the Nancheng Governor to gather information quickly brought back the news:
"A few days ago, Pancheng and Shengcheng did send soldiers to Fengdu, but they weren't sent all at once, but in several batches."
The governor of Nancheng was thinking:
The number of garrisons in Pancheng and Shengcheng is not much different from that in Nancheng, but the military forces of each state are not concentrated in one place.
In addition to the 30% to 40% of the troops gathered in the central city of the state, the rest of the garrison is scattered throughout the prefectures and counties under the state. It is not surprising that they are sent out in batches.
"Is there any news from Fengdu?"
"Not yet."
"Keep asking."
Three days later, the confidant brought back the latest news:
"Over the past few days, Pancheng and Shengcheng have been sending troops to Fengdu. Judging from the movements of the troops, the total number of troops sent by the two cities is around 40,000. I also heard that Chamdo will also send troops."
This is the credit of Yao Guangzhi and others.
Yao Guangzhi and his men had been fighting against the North for many years, so it was not difficult for them to create the illusion of a march to deceive the South City soldiers who had no actual combat experience.
The governor of Nancheng asked, "What about Fengdu?"
"There was also noise from Fengdu. The Fengdu city gate, the Yuwen clan's ancestral hall, the treasury, and the granary were all blown up."
The Southern City Governor was shocked. "You said the Fengdu city gate, the Yuwen clan's ancestral hall, the treasury, and the granary were all blown up?"
"Yes, this news is true. It was the explosives that blew up the city gates on the day of the new emperor's rebellion."
If it were just tens of thousands of soldiers, the governor of Nancheng would not have taken it seriously, because the total number of garrison troops in Fengdu exceeded 50,000.
But if the enemy had bombs, the 50,000 soldiers in Fengdu would be no match for them.
The Nancheng governor's mind started working quickly.
If he sent 15,000 soldiers to support Fengdu as requested by the Grand Tutor, these 15,000 soldiers might never return.
But if he did not send troops to support Fengdu, if Fengdu fell, Master Yuwen would definitely vent his anger on him.
After weighing the pros and cons, the governor of Nancheng made a decision: he would still listen to the orders of the Grand Tutor!
If Fengdu really fell, he would flee to the island with his family and confidants.
He has been to the island and seen that food, vegetables and fruits can be grown on the island. The island has not been built yet, but once it is built, it can become a country of its own.
The Qi Dynasty currently has no ships that can cross the sea and is unable to reach the islands.
After thinking it through, the governor of Nancheng asked someone to bring Ye Wuwei over.
Ye Wuwei has been staying in the Nancheng Governor's Mansion for three days, and someone has been watching him during these three days.
He pretended not to know and ate and drank as he pleased.
The Nancheng Governor handed a sealed letter to Ye Wuwei: "This is my reply to the Grand Tutor. You should give it to him personally."
Ye Wuwei took the letter and responded without asking any extra questions.
After leaving the Nancheng Governor's Mansion, Ye Wuwei realized that someone was following him. He pretended not to know and continued riding towards Chamdo.
Only when the tail disappeared from behind him did Ye Wuwei turn back and sneak into the South City again.
The letter written by the Governor of Nancheng to Master Yuwen only replied that 15,000 men would be sent to support Fengdu.
……
After returning to Nancheng, Ye Wuwei sent people to monitor whether Nancheng had sent troops to Fengdu?
After receiving the news that Nancheng had sent 15,000 troops to Fengdu, Ye Wuwei handed over the letter and token written by Qi Guangren to the governor of Huishui to Lei Dahong and the other two.
"Go and ask the governor of Huishui for help. Ask him to send at least 10,000 soldiers to the southern coast as soon as possible to provide support. If he delays, have him return to Qamdo to face punishment."
The reason for not contacting the Huishui Governor before was that we were afraid that he would secretly pass on information to the Yuwen family and alert the enemy. Now, even if the Huishui Governor passes on information to the Yuwen family again, it will be too late for the Yuwen family to return to defend.
After Lei Dahong and the other two left, Ye Wuwei took Yao Guangzhi and the others as well as the explosives and quietly went to the beach at the southernmost end of South City.
Together with Ye Wuwei and the others were Lin Haisheng, Chunsheng and Nizi.
At this point, Ye Wuwei showed his true face, and he no longer concealed his identity from Lin Haisheng and the other two:
"We are imperial officers and soldiers from Chamdo. We received a report that 30,000 abducted civilians were being forced to do unpaid labor on the island south of Nancheng. The purpose of our trip is to rescue these 30,000 civilians from the island.
The people on the island have ships, and I only asked you to sail them."
After knowing Ye Wuwei's true identity, Lin Haisheng breathed a sigh of relief:
Their lives were saved!
As long as the other party is not doing anything secretive, they will not be killed to silence them.
Moreover, Ye Wuwei himself is really good at gaining favor. Unless you are Ye Wuwei's enemy, it is difficult to dislike him.
Lin Haisheng's disease is what is called "hyperthyroidism" in modern medicine. Because he had lived on the sea for a long time, the low iodine content in the water and food caused the disease.
After these days of treatment, Lin Haisheng's condition has improved a lot. He can stand normally and walk a short distance.
After lying in ambush on the beach, Ye Wuwei met Ye Hongxia.
"Why are you back?"
"I'm just worried that something might happen to you, kid!
Don't worry, I've taken care of everything in Fengdu for you, and the people I brought with me are on their way back."
Ye Wuwei wanted to say something else, but Ye Hongxia said:
"Is there anything to eat? I ran all the way back and didn't eat a single grain of rice on the way."
Seeing Ye Hongxia like this, what else could Ye Wuwei say? He silently handed her the water bag and food.
Ye Hongxia finished her meal in just a few bites, then said, "I'm going to take a nap. Don't call me unless it's important."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Hongxia fell asleep while sitting.
Looking at the sleeping Ye Hongxia, Ye Wuwei's mind was in turmoil.
Yao Guangzhi whispered beside Ye Wuwei: "Your mother treats you very well."
Ye Wuwei nodded.
Ye Hongxia was indeed very nice to him.
Although this kindness was mixed with the guilt of losing him in childhood and the fact that Ye Wuwei was General Ye's son, no matter which one it was, Ye Hongxia's kindness to Ye Wuwei was real.
