Chapter 1298 Yuan’s Movement!
At the same time Liu Bian, Zhao Yun and Shi A entered the city, several young men dressed as servants at the city gate quickly ran towards the city.
When Shi A saw this scene, he was ready to chase after him, but was stopped by Liu Bian.
"They are just a few boys who tipped off the news," Liu Bian shook his head and said calmly, "There is no need to waste time."
Liu Bian knew very well that as the eldest prince of the current dynasty and the person most likely to secure the position of prince in the future, his every move attracted much attention.
This time he mobilized the Changshui Battalion to move south in a large scale and arrived outside Runan County. I am afraid that the forces in Runan City had received the news as early as when he set off from Luoyang.
These boys placed at the city gate are just pawns used to deliver messages so that the forces in the city will not be caught off guard.
He never thought about a surprise attack from the beginning. After all, it would be too much for a majestic prince to do it secretly even if he raises an army to investigate crimes!
"Zilong," Liu Bian turned to look at Zhao Yun and said in a deep voice: "First take Gu's order to the government office and ask the Runan governor to transport the grain out of the city and deliver it to Changshui Camp."
With that said, Liu Bian took off a token from his waist, handed it to Zhao Yun, and said sternly: "If the Runan governor doesn't understand, Zilong can handle it on his own!"
After all, Runan is the base camp of the Yuan family, and Liu Bian cannot guarantee whether the Runan governor has been bribed by the Yuan family, so he is prepared for the worst.
Once the Runan County Sheriff is bribed by the Yuan family and uses various excuses to refuse to send food and grass supplies to Changshui Camp, then let Zhao Yun directly deal with the Runan County Sheriff!
"Don't worry, Your Highness," Zhao Yun shook the spear in his hand and said with a smile, "If the Runan County Sheriff is really bribed by the Yuan family, Yun will teach him how powerful the silver spear in Yun's hand is."
"You can rest assured about Zilong's martial arts." Liu Bian laughed when he heard this. He immediately looked at Shi'a and said in a deep voice: "Shi'a, you go and stay at the post house with me. Wait for Huang Xu to take over and come back tomorrow." Go to Yuan’s door to ask for an explanation!”
Shi A nodded lightly and escorted Liu Bian toward the city's posthouse.
Zhao Yun took Liu Bian's command talisman and rushed towards the government office in the city.
…
The lobby of the main house of Yuan's old house.
The lights in the lobby were brightly lit, illuminating the entire lobby. The lobby was crowded with people, but no one spoke, and the atmosphere seemed very solemn.
An old man who looked somewhat similar to Yuan Wei sat on the main seat and said solemnly: "Everyone, now that Prince Bian has brought an army to accuse me, the Yuan family, what should we do?"
The old man is Yuan Kui's brother, Yuan Feng, who once held the position of Sikong. Later, he became an official due to illness and rested in the Yuan family's old house. At the same time, he taught the Yuan family's descendants.
"Third uncle, I thought that this matter was planned by my fourth uncle alone. Now that my fourth uncle is dead, as long as my Yuan family refuses to admit it, even if Prince Bian comes with an army, he will not dare to come because he is afraid of my Yuan family's influence. You can easily attack me, Mr. Yuan."
A middle-aged man wearing a Confucian shirt and a long beard suddenly spoke up, with a hint of undisguised pride in his eyes.
This man was the son of Yuan Feng's elder brother Yuan Ping, the former Shanyang prefect Yuan Yi. Because of Yuan Wei's incident, Yuan Yi resigned from his post and hurried back to the Yuan family's old residence.
"Bo Ye is right," the old man beside Yuan Feng nodded and said with a smile: "The attempt to argue against the prince was just a momentary confusion of the fourth brother, and I, the Yuan family, have never participated in it.
Now that the fourth brother is dead, as long as I, the Yuan family, refuse to acknowledge me until death, even if Prince Bian is unwilling to do so, there is nothing he can do to us. "
