Chapter 286: Raising Food
Early in the morning of the second day, Yelu Jackie Chan took the dozen henchmen Liao soldiers he had brought back before to Zhongjing.
After Yelu Jackie Chan left, Empress Dowager Xiao and Empress Xiao naturally asked a group of black-armored guards to closely monitor the every move of the lord of Liao State and hundreds of civil and military officials.
When the soldiers and horses stationed in Zhongjing saw the talismans in Yelu Chenglong's hands, they naturally all belonged to Yelu Chenglong.
After Yelu Chenglong collected the soldiers and horses in Zhongjing, he couldn't help but say to his henchmen Liao soldiers: "Although this time the prince has already collected the soldiers and horses in Zhongjing, Yelu Huo and they have already relied on slaughtering war horses to maintain it!" This time, the grain, grass and war horses are a big problem, so you just have to lead these soldiers and horses to detain all the grain and horses of the untouchables in Zhongjing! ”
When the henchman Liao Bing heard Yelu Chenglong's words, he hurriedly said: "It's just that your Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered the burning of the mansion of the rebellious ministers and thieves in Yelu Gulu before, and those untouchables were affected, and the queen mother and the queen mother have already said a lot to your Royal Highness the prince!" If we openly loot the grain and horses of those untouchables in Zhongjing again this time, those untouchables will make trouble in Yanjing, I am afraid that the queen and the queen mother will not give up with His Royal Highness the Prince! ”
When Yelu Chenglong heard this, he couldn't help but be furious, "You guy shut up the prince, how can the prince you said just now not know!" It's just that this time there are only hundreds of thousands of troops without food, grass and war horses, what will this prince do to break through the three levels! ”
Seeing Yelu Chenglong's anger, the henchman Liao Bing couldn't help but say, "Please also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to temporarily calm his anger!" Although we can't openly snatch the grain and horses of the untouchables in Zhongjing, we can have another way for the untouchables in Zhongjing to give us ........ of grain, horses, gold and silver! ”
Without waiting for the henchman Liao Bing to finish speaking, Yelu Jackie Chan shouted, "Those untouchables are so lowly and tricky, if you don't rob them, I'm afraid they won't even give us a grain or a piece of horse hair. This time, you are not ashamed to talk to Prince Ben here, just go and go as soon as possible to grab all the food and horses of the untouchables in Zhongjing to Prince Ben according to what Prince Ben just said! Originally, the prince did not have many horses left for Yeluhuo, but this time the prince has been delayed for so long, I am afraid that if it is delayed any longer, Yeluhuo and they will become cannibals! ”
When the henchman Liao Bing heard Yelu Chenglong's words, he couldn't help but wave his hand: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't worry first, and listen to the little general!" I'm afraid that if we are clearly detaining food, seizing horses, and robbing gold, those untouchables are bound to go to Yanjing, if the queen and the queen mother learn that His Royal Highness the crown prince can't get along with those untouchables, and if you don't get along with those untouchables, you will be released in a fit of anger! Therefore, the crown prince can use the reason that he needs food, horses, gold and silver to attack the three passes, and post a list to collect food, horses, gold and silver from those untouchables in Zhongjing! Moreover, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must also indicate on the list that the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, if the daring to have food, horses, gold and silver is not handed over, it will be punished according to the crime of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country! The little one believes that after those untouchables saw His Royal Highness the Prince's example, they could only obediently hand over the grain, horses, gold and silver in their hands! ”
After hearing this, Yelu Jackie Chan couldn't help but be overjoyed, "What you said is not bad at all!" Although the prince posted the list, he also detained grain, horses, and gold from those untouchables, but this list gave the prince a reason to kill those untouchables who secretly hid food, horses, gold and silver, even if the queen and the queen mother learned about it, they had nothing to say! Since this solution was conceived by you, then you should go and handle this matter for the prince! But you must know that there is no time to delay this time, so within three days, you must ask the untouchables of Zhongjing to hand over 100 stone of grain, 100,000 horses, 10,000 gold and 100,000 silver to the prince, and if necessary, you can take some of the big families in Zhongjing to come and kill chickens and monkeys! ”
When the henchman Liao Bing heard Yelu Chenglong's words, he couldn't help but say, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, can you just rest assured!" When it gets dark on the third day, the little one will definitely give His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a hundred stone of grain, 100,000 horses, 10,000 gold and 100,000 silver! ”
After Yelu Jackie Chan's personal Liao soldiers led everyone to post a list in various places in Zhongjing, all the people knew that Yelu Jackie Chan was fighting on the list to detain grain, seize horses, and rob gold, but what was written on the list was clearly that if there was food, horses, and gold and those who did not pay it, they would be punished for collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country! What's more, no one in the entire Daliao knows that Yelu Jackie Chan is notoriously ruthless, and the people can only dare to be angry and dare not speak, so they can only hand over horses and grain at home.
In only two days, Yelu Jackie Chan's henchman Liao soldiers gathered 100 stone of grain and 100,000 horses, and after the big families in Zhongjing learned about it, they hurriedly invested 10,000 gold and 100,000 silver for Yelu Jackie Chan, hoping to send Yelu Jackie Chan, the plague god, away as soon as possible.
Yelu Jackie Chan's henchman Liao soldiers gathered all the food, horses, gold and silver, and hurriedly returned to Yelu Jackie Chan to ask for credit, "The little one said that it is better to recruit Zhang Bang than to rob it openly, His Royal Highness the Prince, you see, in just two days, those untouchables in Zhongjing have gathered the food, horses, gold and silver you need for Your Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
When Yelu Chenglong heard this, he couldn't help but say, "Your guy is really neat, since that's the case, then you guy, take 500 citations from the gold and silver handed over by those untouchables in Zhongjing as a reward!" I didn't expect these untouchables in Zhongjing to be so rich, I knew that Prince Ben would ask them for more, but I'm afraid that Yeluhuo and they can't wait any longer, this time you just go to order the whole army to rectify everything, and go to the Yanbei Forage Farm with Prince Ben early tomorrow morning! ”
When the henchman Liao Bing heard Yelu Chenglong's words, he hurriedly hugged his fists and bent down to Yelu Chenglong, "Thank you for the reward of His Royal Highness the prince, the little one will go and order the whole army to rectify everything!" ”
Yelu Huo saw that the war horses in the camp were becoming scarce day by day, so he couldn't help but call Yelu Lin, and Yelu Mountain came to discuss, "After so many days, the war horses in the camp have been almost slaughtered by us, and the remaining war horses this time are afraid that they will not be able to maintain even three days!" And His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been gone for so long, and there has been no movement until now, in my opinion, we should take measures as soon as possible! If the horses in the camp are cut off, even if the small ones don't mutiny, I'm afraid we won't be able to return to Yanjing on foot from here! ”
When Yelulin heard Yeluhuo's words, he couldn't help but say, "Although Yeluhuo's worries are not unreasonable, but the temper of His Royal Highness the Prince, Yeluhuo, you don't know, if we return to Yanjing without waiting for the order, I'm afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not be resigned to us after learning about it!" And the war horses we have left this time are no longer enough for so many of us to return to Yanjing together! ”
