The large-scale changes in the wolf clan have successively alerted the snare spies and shadowguard spies lurking in the wolf clan.

It's just that the Shadow Guard has not been established for a long time, and even with Ying Zheng's power support, its background is still far behind that of Luo Sheng.

The time to get the news is much later than Luowang.

After Cheng Xi came to power, Luo Wang's vision became even wider, including the barbarians from the southeast, northwest, and northwest.

The Six Kingdoms of Shandong are naturally the main targets for infiltration, the northern grasslands and the Baiyue Mountains and Forests are secondary targets, and the east and west sides are the least important.

The east and west sides mainly collect intelligence from various forces along the way, and the degree of penetration is very shallow.

Baiyue has Tianze who is familiar with the local area to give guidance, and the penetration effect is quite good.

Tianze has already returned to Baiyue with the men he recruited, and is doing something secretly.

If nothing else happens, by the time the Qin State destroys the Chu State, it should be able to pull together a team to stab the Chu State in the butt.

The northern grassland has the help of Touman, and in the name of Touman, the penetration is smoother.

Touman was originally the leader of the five major tribes of the wolf tribe. With the support of Chenglong, the strength of the tribe was already one of two.

There are not only people from the Central Plains, but also locals from the Wolf Clan who are trapped in the wolf clan.

In these days, the consciousness of the nation and the state is very indifferent on the grasslands. Anyone who can stutter can be fooled, and there is no psychological burden in selling out.

Not long after the wolf clan moved, pieces of information came from north to south through various channels, and Touman also sent two letters.

The first letter is to inform the wolf clan of the strange activities, and the second letter is his plan.

It's not that Touman is a kind-hearted person, but he is not allowed to send letters to show that he has no different intentions.

Of course Touman knew that there were many spies in the wolf clan, and if he didn't express his attitude, he would definitely be in trouble.

The day the information was delivered was the day when the women of Yonghou Mansion gathered together to communicate with each other.

In the dining room of the main courtyard of the Yonghou Mansion, not only were all the women gathered, but Cheng Yu's mother, Mrs. Han, was also there.

Everyone sat together around a specially built large round table, eating steaming shabu-shabu, and the various aromas mixed together, making people salivate.

Cheng Yu originally wanted to eat hot pot, but most of the women were pregnant, so they could only eat the lighter shabu-shabu.

It would be boring to eat hot pot with clear soup.

The large round copper table is larger than a bathtub. The thick brass chimney emits a rich white color. The table is filled with various meats, vegetables, fruits, and juices.

Although it is winter, with the black technology of this world, as long as Chengyu has a little bit of advice, he can eat some fruits and vegetables in winter.

Mrs. Han is in the center at the top, with Chengyu on the right, and below her is the Frightened Salamander. Concubine Yan is on the left, and below is the Moon God.

The other women sat down one by one according to the time they entered the house.

In addition to the dishes placed on the table, there are also dishes placed around the round table. There is a circle of maids wearing various brocades standing around, waiting for orders at any time.

Although it is just a dining room, it is still paved with floor coverings, making the dining room warm as spring.

Through the translucent glass window of the dining room, you can see the snow falling outside. Sitting in the dining room eating shabu-shabu, a sense of happiness arises spontaneously.

Especially when everyone is sitting together, chatting casually, laughing and joking, the feeling of happiness is even stronger.

Didn’t the smile never break without looking at Mrs. Han’s face?

Family happiness is nothing more than this.

It can be foreseen that it will be even more lively after the grandchildren are born. Thinking of the future scenes makes Mrs. Han very happy and looking forward to it.

Cheng Xi was also very happy. The family was harmonious, the people were blessed, and the heirs were long.

Although many women are not fuel-efficient, with Mrs. Han, Cheng Xi, and Yan Fei in charge, they don't dare to do anything.

As time passed and the sky became darker, Zhong Qian, the general manager of Yonghou Mansion and the head of the underground network, came out of the snow wearing a black cloak.

Seeing that dinner was not over yet, I didn't dare to interrupt rashly. Although the matter was serious, it was not urgent.

When the bright lights came on and the maids were cleaning up, Zhong Qian used his internal energy to clear away the coldness from his body before entering the dining room.

"Greetings to the old lady, Lord Marquis, madam, ladies and gentlemen."

After entering the dining room, Zhong Qian bowed and bowed his hands in a respectful gesture.

"Is something wrong?"

Cheng Xi was rinsing his mouth with some mouthwash tea, and when he saw this, he asked casually.

"Yes, Lord Marquis, there is some news from the grassland."

Zhong Qian still bowed and said.

"Mother, let Feiyan and the others accompany you. If your son has something to do, take the first step."

"Go, don't delay the business."

Cheng Yu nodded slightly, said hello to the girls, and left the dining room.

After Zhong Qian excused himself from Mrs. Han and the other girls, he quickly followed Cheng Xi.

The two of them arrived at the inner study. The maid promptly brought warm tea and retreated far away, not daring to come even half a step closer.

Then Zhong Qian took out three letters with complete lacquer seals from his sleeve and handed them to Cheng Xi respectfully.

"Sit down, don't be too restrained."

"You have been with me for so long, and you can be considered half of my family."

Cheng Xi took the letter and waved his hand casually.

"It is my lifelong honor to be able to follow the Marquis."

After Zhong Qian finished speaking, he sat upright on the chair, waiting for Cheng Qian's instructions.

What he said just now was not a casual statement, but what Zhong Qian said from his heart.

Although he cannot rise high in the eunuch system, he is still a person with real power.

Because of Cheng Yu's relationship, he was always a welcome guest wherever he went, and the powerful eunuchs in the palace were also polite to him.

Because of his seniority, the masters of various courtyards in the mansion also respect him quite a bit.

It is so comfortable to not have to fight with the eunuchs in the palace and worry about their future fate.

In terms of money, he also has a lot of savings. From the salary income given to him by Chenglong, and the gray income from others' secret filial piety, his net worth is no worse than that of ordinary rich people.

Zhong Qian also acted in a measured manner.

I know very well what can be done and what cannot be done. Some things are ruined as soon as they are touched.

Cheng Yu opened the envelope and read each one one by one.

The contents of the two letters that came were very similar. They were both talking about the wolf clan's snow disaster, the wolf clan's military rules, and the high probability of going south.

The only difference is that one letter was compiled from secret intelligence by Luo Wang, and the other letter was sent by Touman.

Regarding the high probability of the wolves heading south, Cheng Yu was not at all panicked.

Not to mention that they have a long time to prepare in advance, even if the wolves suddenly launch an attack, it will be difficult to break through the defense line on Qin's northern border.

The Qin Army is better than the Wolf Clan in terms of individual soldier quality, overall quality, or ordnance and logistics, and it also has the advantage of playing at home.

As for the wolf tribe's siege ability, it is really average, and the Qin army's field combat ability is also stronger.

If we abandon the city, we can wait to cut off the retreat, divide and surround it, and annihilate the entire army.

Why should the wolves win?

For the Wolf Clan, Qin is a much harder nut to crack than Zhao and Yan.

Of course, if you can chew it down, the harvest will be the greatest. Qin's grain and grass reserves are not comparable to Zhao Yan's.

The focus is on the third letter.

Touman actually wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the wolf tribe's march south to use the power of the Qin State to kill the old wolf king, so that he could ascend to power.

Touman said that he would try his best to persuade the Old Wolf King to attack Qin, so that the Old Wolf King and his cronies would break into Qin's encirclement network.

As for the specific plan, there is no one yet, and it will be formulated based on the wolf tribe's strategy of advancing southward.

Now we only have ideas, even if we make plans, they are just words on paper.

The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, and plans must be communicated in a timely manner.

Putting down the letter, Cheng Xi thought silently...

Nowadays, on the grassland, there are three pillars, and the wolf clan is the weakest. This situation is not suitable for the wolf clan to fall.

Otherwise, if either the Donghu or the Yuezhi annex the Wolf Clan, the situation in the grassland will be unbalanced.

The power of one party has skyrocketed, and as long as it rests for a while, it will have the opportunity to annex the other party.

At that time, a unified force will appear on the grassland, seriously threatening the safety of the north of Qin and becoming a serious concern of Qin.

The Wolf Tribe, Donghu, Yueshi, or other tribes, no matter who unified the grassland, could only be the enemy of Qin.

If the three-legged situation in the grassland continues, it will be the most powerful for Qin.

It cannot be like in history, when the Qin State unified the world, the wolf tribe also began to slowly unify the grasslands, and finally became a serious problem in the Central Plains in the early Han Dynasty.
To be continued...
