Chapter 190 Battle of Shizhou
The furious Gu Xuanli immediately called in his confidant Qiao Kuangren.
"Send someone to investigate the situation at the base immediately!"
"Also, send a large number of spies to infiltrate Changshan County."
A day later, the bad news came.
"Governor, the base has been completely looted. All the tobacco goods have been burned, and all the buildings and facilities have been destroyed."
Gu Xuanli's face was distorted with anger. He had been hoarding goods for so long, and if he sold them all, he would get at least 2 billion.
The entire Governor's Office depended on this little bit of repayment to save its life, but in the end, he didn't get a penny and even lost his most important hemp tobacco base.
In addition, he also owed the Qin Group a huge sum of more than 50 million, as well as 35 million given away for free.
It's a huge loss.
To be honest, Gu Xuanli has been in the empire for so long and has never seen such a person.
He even had an illusion that he had a patricide vengeance against the new county chief of Changshan County.
Otherwise, there is no way to explain what he did. Changshan County is now weak and should make friends everywhere and look for supporters. At the very least, it should not offend anyone easily.
Unless there is a blood feud, it is really incomprehensible.
Lin Wen's file is public, and because his experience is too simple, it was quickly found out.
It has nothing to do with it.
Gu Xuanli, in a rage, immediately ordered Qiao Kuangren: "Immediately give orders to the Huaiyan Army's spies to kill that little beast, kill everyone in Changshan County, and kill everyone they see!"
Upon hearing the order, Kuangren Qiao's face turned bitter and he did not obey immediately.
"Gu, Governor Gu, I, this..."
His hesitant look further aroused Gu Xuanli's anger.
He pointed at Crazy Joe's face and said, "What do you mean? You want to disobey me too, don't you?"
Crazy Qiao immediately said, "Governor, my subordinates are incompetent. The spies we sent to Changshan County were completely wiped out and there is no news from them."
The office fell silent for a moment.
A moment later, Crazy Joe was beaten out with a stick by the furious governor.
"Send as many people as you can! Send as many as you can! I don't believe a state can't defeat a county! Drown them with a sea of men! If you can't drown them, I'll drown you!"
Afterwards, Gu Xuanli immediately called a meeting of his confidants.
At the meeting, he declared Changshan County a mortal enemy, immediately cut off all ties with Changshan County, terminated all trade relations with Changshan County, and launched a comprehensive attack on Changshan County's commerce and economy.
However, after investigating for a long time, the group found that there was no business in Changshan County.
In the past, the only exports were tea and tobacco, but these were also interrupted after the flood.
All of Changshan County’s economy comes from large-scale purchases and recruitment, but these are expenditures, and it is unknown where the income comes from.
Song Ziyuan, the economic director of Shizhou, said helplessly: "I have never seen such a strange structure. I don't know how to destroy their economy."
Gu Xuanli cursed, "This damn county is full of weird things."
If the economy and business cannot be destroyed, then the only option is to destroy trade.
The group searched for a long time before they found the only trade between Shizhou and Changshan County.
food.
Because they are neighboring regions with convenient logistics and transportation, Changshan County and Shizhou signed a large grain trade order.
Now, more than 80% of Changshan County’s food comes from Shizhou.
After Gu Xuanli learned about this, he immediately ordered: "Tear up the order! Stop the transaction."
Although everyone was reluctant, they still carried out the governor's order.
At the end of the meeting, Gu Xuanli issued an order: "Wu Daxiong, mobilize the top assassins of the Raven Guard to attack all important towns and villages in Changshan County. We must completely destroy that little bastard!"
——
Southwest District.
Supreme Command.
Qin Gang received a secret report that his close ally, Gu Xuanli, the governor of Shizhou, had a worsening relationship with Changshan County and was planning to take action against it.
He was silent for a long time in the smoke-filled office, then ordered his adjutant, "Have the 1st Brigade of the 7th Ace Division send out an elite battalion to await an opportunity to support Governor Gu."
"Yes, Commander Qin."
The adjutant saluted and left.
Qin Gang watched his adjutant walk away, extinguished his last cigarette, and whispered to himself, "Xiaoxiao, if it really was you, you should be able to easily annihilate them, right?"
——
Qin Luoshuang had a terrible headache.
Ever since Lin Wen asked her to be in charge of the Foreign Affairs Bureau, she is currently handling all of Changshan County's foreign relations.
If it were just that, it would be fine, but Lin Wen often interfered, and the originally good relationship quickly deteriorated after he interfered.
For example, in the contact with the princess's faction, Qin Luoshuang's original intention was to pretend to be nice and try to build some friendship, but Lin Wen insisted on instructing her to ask the princess for money. It would have been fine if she had just sent it once, but Lin Wen felt the amount was not enough and sent it three times in a row.
Then when Qin Luoshuang wanted to secretly repair the relationship, she found that the Princess Faction had blocked Changshan County's phone number.
Qin Luoshuang was very depressed. She had lost a helper for no apparent reason and had also offended Li Linyue.
She had spent some time in Shenjing a few years ago and had interacted with the First Princess. She knew that although Li Linyue looked dignified and generous, she actually had a strong desire for revenge. Lin Wen's behavior had definitely been a black account in her mind.
If that were all, it would be fine. Li Linyue was extremely utilitarian, and if there was no clear benefit, she wouldn't have rashly attacked Lin Wen. Furthermore, the Princess Faction's main forces were concentrated in Shenjing, so their influence on the local area was minimal.
The key point is that Lin Wen was too aggressive in handling the relationship with Shizhou, and suddenly turned a powerful neighbor into a mortal enemy.
In Qin Luoshuang's plan, the six regions bordering Changshan County, Shizhou, Yunzhou and Lingzhou in the west, and Dongqinzhou, Zhongzhou and Xiyanzhou in the east, are all the ones that need to be established first.
Dongqinzhou did not respond to Qin Luoshuang's contact due to special reasons.
In the remaining five areas, Qin Luoshuang's work had just made a little progress when Lin Wen directly turned the relationship with Shizhou into a hostile one.
Not only did they cut off all contacts, but they also tore up all orders, causing the Finance Department to lose a huge amount of money.
Lao Xie has to look for other food suppliers, and the food budget is expected to increase by 15%-25%.
What annoyed Qin Luoshuang the most was:
During this period, a fierce battle broke out between the spies of the Shizhou Statistics Military Bureau and the agents of the KGB.
Although only the Shizhou spies suffered unilaterally, this invisibly increased the workload of the agents.
The Council's spies have never ceased to exist. After Changshan County became famous, the number of spies of unknown origin has increased dramatically, and the crows have been too busy to handle them.
Fortunately, Qin Luoshuang transferred the responsibility of supervising local officials to the strange forbidden spell magician group, otherwise the crows would have become roast ducks.
Yesterday, a Crow agent discovered a clue after eliminating a Seokju agent. Following the clues, they dismantled a spy base and seized a large number of documents, including a message:
"Special Team 1 is ordered to infiltrate Huaizhen and carry out the following missions: 1. Disrupt all production; 2. Set fire to houses; 3. Murder, whether civilian or official; 4. Create panic and spread rumors. You must cooperate and provide assistance."
Since Crow was really unable to do anything, Qin Luoshuang passed the telegram to Lin Wen and asked him to send people from the Dragon Group to resolve the matter.
Lin Wen readily agreed and immediately sent himself out.
Thanks to rescuing nearly 5,000 abducted girls and working hard on the levee during this period, Lin Wen's soul power has jumped to 110.03%.
This made Lin Wen very happy, as it meant that he could save more people, and his good karma and soul would grow faster.
The chicken-and-egg super-growth plan has begun to show results.
And a few days ago, after the Tianlong Merchant Group had contact with him several times, as soon as the consumption of [Asking the Way to Heaven] dropped to an acceptable level, Lin Wen immediately obtained all their information, and directly [Flying over the Clouds], using the infinite flash bombs of [Paper Moon Hanging in the Sky], he wiped out the base of this group of drug dealers.
I have to say that this is another rare all-black stronghold, with more than 100 people in total, providing a total of 316 points of good karma and no bad karma.
In addition to destroying a large amount of drugs, another 106 points of good karma were earned.
This greatly changed Lin Wen's impression of Shizhou, and he has listed them as kind people who he can get closer to.
Anyone who only provides good karma and does not provide bad karma is a good person.
Those who only provide bad karma and not good karma are all evil people.
Therefore, when he heard that another kind-hearted person had come to his door, Lin Wen was overjoyed and immediately went out to greet him.
Since the information provided by the telegram was very detailed, the consumption of [Asking the Way to Heaven] was reduced to a minimum, and Lin Wen directly obtained all their information.
