Chapter 333: Premonition of Change
Xinto was reminded by Li Yu that how to set off a bloody storm within the Hayi tribe, Li Yu did not pay much attention to it, nor did he intervene inquire about it.
At present, his main energy is concentrated on land development.
People generally believe that the land is black, but it is not.
Black soil is an extremely valuable resource.
Take Li Yu’s modern life in the past as an example. There are actually only three black soils in the world.
One is in the Ukrainian Plain, one is in the Mississippi Plain in the United States, and the other is in the Northeast Plain in China.
What surprised Li Yu was that the northern forests of the Hayi tribe and even the surrounding areas were actually black soil.
Compared with ordinary land, black soil is more fertile, has the reputation of a golden granary, and is extremely suitable for planting.
How could Li Yu let go of such a large piece of black soil in the Hayi tribe?
At present, Li Yu has spent a lot of money to organize Zhou people, Su Nu people and Ha-yi to clear the land near the northern forest.
What he thought was to first reclaim all the black soil outside the northern forest into fertile fields. In this way, the reclamation speed will be faster, the efficiency will be higher, and the danger will be lower.
Even though people know that the northern forests are dangerous, there must be brave men under heavy rewards.
There were still many Zhou people, Su Nu and Ha, who came to the northern forest to form a large army of clearing the land.
If so many people gather together, of course they cannot live in the wilderness and mountains in dispersion, which is too dangerous.
Under the organization of Li Yu, people built a temporary gathering place near the northern forest.
The houses inside are simple and simple, but the defense on the outside is very tight.
People first built earth walls more than two meters high with rammed earth, and then built wooden walls based on the earth wall.
In this way, the external wall of the gathering place is more than five meters high, which can completely resist the invasion of wild beasts in the northern forest.
Li Yu named this gathering place Beifang Town.
On this day, Li Yu was patrolling the city walls of Beifang Town.
A fast horse galloped to the gate of the northern town.
Li Yu, standing on the city wall, looked down.
He knew the visitor, and he was the Feiwei who often traveled between the capital and Pyeongchang County to convey messages to him.
Li Yu came down from the city wall.
The flying guard hurriedly dismounted, quickly walked to Li Yu, intervened and bowed, and said, "Your Highness!"
Li Yu asked with a serious expression: "But something happened in the capital?"
Under normal circumstances, when I was no longer in Pingchang County, Feiwei who came to report the letter would either put the letter in his palace or convey the news to Zhang Hong, and then pass it on to him, without chasing him to the Hayi tribe.
Feiwei was covered in dust, with a thick layer of dust on his face and body.
Seeing that he was tired and his lips were swelling, Li Yu asked Jinwu to hand him a bowl of water.
Fei Wei thanked him and took it, drank all the water in the bowl in one breath.
Then, he said to Li Yu: "Your Highness, the capital army defeated the Xifan army in Wanguo. At present, the main force of the Xifan army approaching the capital of Wanguo will be repelled more than a hundred miles!"
When Li Yu heard this, his eyes lit up, he slapped his jaw heavily and said, "That's great!"
After saying that, seeing Fei Wei's face was solemn, he realized that things might not be that simple.
He asked, "There is anything else?"
Feiwei looked at Li Yu carefully and whispered: "This battle... In this battle, His Majesty was shot in the arm by a loss..."
Li Yu, and even everyone around him, were all gasping for breath.
Meng Liao couldn't help but take a step forward and asked anxiously: "How is Your Majesty's injury now?"
He was Li Hui's personal bodyguard. He followed Li Hui for more than ten years and had a deep relationship with Li Hui.
Feiwei said: "Your Highness, the accompanying imperial physician has already treated His Majesty the wound. The news sent back is that His Majesty has no worries about his life for the time being!"
No worries about life...
This sounded like a half of the heart that made everyone's throat reach their throats, and there was a faint ominous premonition.
Li Yu frowned and didn't say anything for a long time.
Lu Fang touched his beard thoughtfully and reminded: "Your Highness should rush back to Pyeongchang County earlier to... in case of an accident!"
Li Yu was shocked and immediately turned to look at Lu Fang and asked, "The real person thought that something unexpected would happen?"
"This... I don't know. In short, Your Highness needs to prevent problems before it happens."
Ziweixing is the Emperor Star.
Lu Fang had already seen that the Ziwei Star was declining and was dull. He had already had a foreshadowing that something big would happen in Zhou State, but he was not easy to say this.
It is a death sentence to criticize the emperor behind his back.
Li Yu looked at Lu Fang, pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "Today, we will set off for Pyeongchang County!"
As he spoke, his eyes turned and said, "Zhang Yan, Han Rui!"
Hearing his call, the two of them immediately walked out of the crowd and both intervened and saluted Li Yu.
Li Yu said seriously: "When I was not in Beifang Town, the government affairs of Beifang Town were fully handled by Zhang Yan, and the military affairs of Beifang Town were fully handled by Han Rui."
Han Rui was originally the commander of a battalion of the capital army. Because of his repeated military achievements, he has been promoted to a general by Li Yu, controlling three battalions, totaling 3,000 people.
Zhang Yan was the chief clerk of Zhang Hong, the prefect of Pingchang County. Since Li Yu was developing the northern forest and many matters needed to be handled, Zhang Yan was temporarily seconded.
Upon hearing Li Yu's order, Zhang Yan and Han Rui intervened and bowed, and said in unison: "I accept the order!"
Li Yu left in a hurry and didn't even bother to go to the main tribe of the Hayi tribe and quit his leave with Beshana.
The people led by Li Yu rushed back to Pyeongchang County from the Hayi tribe.
Seeing Li Yu return to the palace with great care, Tao Xiying and Hua Meier were quite surprised.
Li Yu went to take a shower first, changed his clothes, and then walked out of his bedroom.
Tao Xiying and Hua Meier, who were waiting outside, both came forward and asked with concern: "Your Highness, is something wrong?"
Li Yu said: "The Zhou army won a great victory in Wanguo!"
Upon hearing this, Tao Xiying and Hua Meier were both stunned.
Isn't this a good thing?
Zhou State supported the war in Wan State and invested a large amount of troops, manpower, money and food. It can be said that this battle was directly related to the fate of Zhou State. Now that the Zhou army is victorious in Wan State, isn’t this a great joy for Li Yu?
But when I looked at him carefully, there was no joy on my face.
Li Yuqing sighed and said, "But in this battle, my father was also injured and shot by the loss."
Hua Mei'er's eyes flashed clearly.
But soon, she lowered her head and tried not to let Li Yu see the changes in her expression.
Tao Xiying had the same expression and asked with concern: "How is Your Majesty's injury?"
Li Yu shook his head and said, "It's not clear yet. The specific situation is waiting for the Feiwei's follow-up report!"
After saying a few simple words to Tao Xiying and Hua Meier, Li Yu hurried to the front yard to discuss government affairs with Lu Fang, Chen Fang and others.
During the discussion, Lu Fang suddenly said: "I think that your highness should recruit another 50,000 troops on the grounds of clearing land in the northern forests to prepare for emergencies."
