Chapter 121: Maniac
"Bang!"
The sound of smashing things came from Daxing Palace in Chang'an. This was followed by a roar from Tang Emperor Li Yuan: "Bastard thing, deceive people too much!" It's so deceitful. Four million stones of good grain, 1.5 million taels of gold, and he has to answer within ten days, why didn't he rob it. ”
Yang Tong's price code has been passed from Pei Ju Pegasus to Li Yuan's hands!
But at the same time, the whole Chang'an City also knows everything.
There is no need to guess, Li Yuan knows that it is the ghost of the Northern Sui. But what about him? This is again a conspiracy that forced him to obey.
If there were no rumors that he was going to trade with the Northern Sui, everything would have passed. But now it has become widely known that everyone regards him Li Yuan as the life of the soldiers, and he is a good emperor who does not hesitate to be humiliated. If he sat back and watched the soldiers die because he was unwilling to bleed, his situation would be even more dangerous.
When he entered the customs, when the major Guanlong magnates were giving money and food to support him, they were afraid that Li Yuan would be reluctant to give important positions, and they were all high-profile, and they all publicized the amount of money and grain donated by their families.
The Guanlong magnates are satisfied, and Li Yuan is also satisfied!
Everyone is happy!
But now that Yang Tong is playing this play, the number reported by the major families before has become the reason why Li Yuan has to trade.
If Yang Tong is insatiable and his mouth is too wide, he still has a reason to refuse. But the amount he asked for was just a big stab in his heart, and it was within his bearing.
Now the people of Guanzhong know that their hundreds of thousands of soldiers are subjected to inhuman treatment in Bingzhou, and they have all been arranged to go to the Bird Mouse Valley to open mountains and build roads, this work is undoubtedly the hardest, most tiring and most dangerous thing in the world, and what is even more pitiful is that they worked for ten hours a day, and barely ate a bowl of rice porridge with soup and water! And it has to be cultivated for ten years, this kind of inhuman life, can your relatives last for ten years?
Thinking of their sons, husbands, and fathers living a life that is worse than death, the petitioners cry loudly outside the Taiji Palace every day.
It has turned Taiji Palace into a funeral home.
Li Shentong, Li Shenfu, Li Shuliang, and Li Shuliang's family members even directly took advantage of the clan privileges and cried to the palace.
"Father, what should we do?" Li Jiancheng looked ashamed.
Li Yuan's originally green face turned iron blue again, he opened his mouth, and he couldn't say a word, and now not only Guanzhong, but even the whole world was watching him laugh.
Yang Tong was obviously cutting his flesh. But he knew he wouldn't do it if he didn't.
If they didn't agree, the morale of the army collapsed.
It's a fart in the world.
Li Yuan pondered for a long time and said, "There is still some time, you can contact Pei Ju at speed to see if he can cut it in half." ”
"It's useless!" Li Jiancheng said with a wry smile: "Erchen has thought about it, Yang Tong knew that we were fighting with Xue Ju, so he deliberately opened his mouth, and the people of the world reported that the morale in front was affected by this and was extremely sluggish, and now he didn't dare to take the initiative to attack!" It will not do us any good if it drags on, and what is even worse is that for every day it is delayed, there will be an extra 500,000 stone of grain and 100,000 taels of gold. And no matter how we delay, we will eventually admit it. ”
"Then we don't need to eat?" Li Yuan's two blood-red eyes glared at Li Jiancheng, he didn't blame Li Jiancheng, he only blamed Pei Lin for being too incompetent, with nearly 100,000 troops in his hands, as well as Taiyuan Jiancheng, which was actually taken by Li Jing at once, there were also countless food and armaments, and now they all fell into the hands of Yang Dong, and those soldiers became a sharp weapon against themselves in the blink of an eye.
Li Jiancheng was speechless.
"You say, can we hide troops in the grain and take the opportunity to take Hedong County." Li Yuan suddenly thought.
Li Jiancheng was speechless, such a simple truth, wouldn't people be guarded? But he didn't want to hit his father, so he said a little tactfully: "Hedong County first had Pei Renji's 50,000 troops in charge, and now Li Jing's nearly 100,000 troops have arrived in Linfen, which adds up to more than 100,000 troops!" I'm afraid it's hard. If Yang Tong is angry, he will take these more than 100,000 captives to get angry! In the end, it is we who suffer. ”
Li Yuan's body shook violently, he was stunned for a moment, turned around, and looked at Li Jiancheng with a helpless face, and his shoulders collapsed weakly.
"Go and prepare! At the very least, we can get an army of more than 100,000 and regain people's hearts. Li Yuan comforted himself.
"Whoa!" Li Jiancheng retired.
"Yang Tong ......! I, Li Yuan, swear to be incompatible with you! ”
Li Yuan's eyes were torn, his face was distorted and hideous, his body was shaking, his eyes were full of resentful and vicious light, and he screamed, and the poignant and sharp voice was like a sharp blade scraping through steel, piercing Li Jiancheng's ear drums.
Li Tang occupies a very small Guanzhong, only Feng Yi, Jingguang, Fufeng, Beidi four counties, the land here because of overdevelopment, has been very barren, the yield per mu is very low, but Guanzhong has a large population, when the Sui Dynasty was stable, has been relying on the canal to transport the southern grain to support, now the front is rising, Cao Yun has long been cut off, seeking a new grain production area is the most practical problem that Li Yuan needs to face, the previous four-party campaign, in addition to Li Yuan's blind respect, expanding the living space is also a big reason, after the failure of the two fronts, Li Yuan took the lead. Under the persuasion of Li Jiancheng, Liu Wenjing and others, they aimed their firepower at Xue Ju and Li Liang in the west. Once these two warlords are defeated, they will not only obtain horse breeding land and good war horses, but also have a vast grain production area, which is also the first national policy.
The second step is to attack Liang Shidu and Guo Zihe of Guannei Road, after all, compared to Bashu, which is in dangerous terrain, the flat Guannei Road is easy to fight, and this is the Dahetao area, the land is fertile, and it is an important place for grain production. However, Liang Shidu and Guo Zihe had the support of Shibi Khan, and each had a large number of cavalry, so the premise for Li Tang to win the two was to obtain enough war horses.
However, when Yang Tong came out like this, he not only asked for four million stone grain and 1.5 million taels of gold that he regarded as his life, but also caused turmoil in the territory, and even the morale of the troops fighting on the front line was greatly damaged.
At the same time, Li Yuan also knew that once he fulfilled Yang Tong's wish, there would be more rumors, for example, Li Yuan was weak, Li Yuan was incompetent, Li Yuan was timid, and other rumors were absolutely indispensable. No!
Absolutely not
The family gatekeeper, who has always been profit-oriented, will immediately introduce a new spokesperson to replace him Li Yuan when he can't see hope. Any marriage and family affection are all deceptive nonsense.
As the master of Li Tang, Li Yuan only felt that he had let Yang Tong slap countless times.
Instigating Wang Wei and Gao Junya to empty the Taiyuan Treasury and Jinyang Palace's money and military equipment is the first slap, the canonization of the eldest grandson is the second slap, the third slap to take away 30,000 elite soldiers, the fourth slap to snatch Yang Yu, and the fifth slap to announce the letter he wrote to Shibi Begging is the fifth slap...... Up to now, if Li Yuan didn't know that Yang Tong was targeting him, he would really be a ghost.
Today, it was Yang Tong again, robbing him of a lot of food and gold......
Yang Tong was like a maggot on the tarsal bone, disgusting him everywhere, squeezing him, and making Emperor Li Tang lose everything he should have......
Li Yuantie blushed, thinking about the many grievances with Yang Dong, in addition to hatred or hatred in his heart: he didn't think about why he wanted to make the Yang family's rebellion, but he felt that it was Yang Dong's fault, and it was all his Yang Dong's fault.
Even the necessary breathing, drinking, eating, and peeing every day are Yang Tong's fault......
Such a person should not live in the world......
Fight with him?
This, I really don't dare.
"Maniac. He's a madman! Li Yuan's face turned pale, thinking about suffering losses everywhere, thinking about Yang Tong's amazing achievements, and thinking about letting such a madman stare at him, Li Yuan had a fear that came to his heart......
