What is "Viyan Thinking"?

It is a person who is in this wealth hub city, who may be as depressed as a beggar one second, and may be rich the next second. Money comes and goes faster, Yangzhou prospers faster and destroys faster, so the people in this city have long become "light", living a life that today does not know tomorrow, they bear the heaviest taxes in the entire Tang Empire, and also live the most indulgent and extravagant days in the entire Tang Empire.

In order to preserve their wealth and entertainment, they did not hesitate to do anything that trampled on the law.

Pei Zhou was also recommended under the festival, and Yuan Zai's eldest son also died in Yangzhou, presumably Yang Yan would never let go of the festival. But don't worry about it, most of the officials in the capital are looking sideways at Yang Yan's domineering, and I have a few friends...... In addition, Li Taibao (Li Zhengji) of Ziqing also ......" Saying that, Gu Xiu took the opportunity to hand over several secret letters to Chen Shaoyou.

Huainan Jiedu made Chen Shaoyou decide to take risks!

At the same time, Chang'an City is troubled by something else.

Zhu Jun mobilized 20,000 troops to set off from Fengxiang, but when he arrived at the border with Jingzhou, he was suddenly reluctant to go forward - and then Zhu Jun asked Wei Gao to write and present a seal to the imperial court, which roughly means:

The Anxi camp was uneasy, and the imperial court could not suppress it by forceful means, and the consequences might be unimaginable;

Li Huaiguang was not guilty of killing several generals of Shuofang, and the camp in Anxi was very jealous and afraid of him, so it was not suitable for Li Huaiguang to be the envoy of the four towns of Anxi and the camp in Beiting;

But if I am given the right authority, I am confident that I will be able to appease the camp of Anxi;

Fengxiang 20,000 soldiers and horses, lack of food and clothing, and crossed the border to fight, the soldiers and soldiers have great opinions, hoping that the court will be sympathetic (otherwise we will not move forward) to boost morale.

"Zhu Zhu is coercing the original army in Jingyuan, taking the opportunity to ask for power, food, and clothing." When Li Shi saw the seal, he was angry.

Then he stared at Yang Yan, meaning "This matter is getting to this point, how to solve it."

Yang Yan was also irritable in his heart, he felt that the current situation was far from being as simple as he had imagined, faintly Zhu Zhu, Cui Ning, Liu Yan and others seemed to have formed an offensive and defensive alliance, resisting themselves, and in addition, he had to admit that he was completely powerless when these numbers were linked.

But the more this happens, the more inconcede now, and if it does, it will be tantamount to self-destruction: not only will you lose the trust of the emperor, but you will also be met with a frantic counterattack from the enemy.

Yang Yan already regretted it a little, he seemed to realize that the "little brother" Gao Yue in the green shirt probably had a grudge against him, after all, he broke his promise when he was in the Red Peony Pavilion.

Could it be that Gao Yue picked up Cui Ning, protected Liu Yan, and wooed Zhu Jun?

No, it's impossible, he's a little Qipin, where does he get the courage and energy to confront my dignified servant......

Yang Yan wanted to be sure, but he didn't dare to be sure.

The most urgent task was to answer the emperor's questions.

So Yang Yan simply slandered again: "Your Majesty, the leader of the rebels in Jingzhou is Liu Wenxi, and the condition he offered is to ask the court for a festival, if Your Majesty agrees, what is the difference between it and the previous generation?" Blindly connived at and appeased Fang Zhen, and then those who were strong and strong could ask His Majesty for the festival, and everyone despised His Majesty at all times, how could the wealth be re-entered into the treasury? Your Majesty must not be merciful for the moment and jeopardize the future plans. ”

This persuaded Li Shi again, "That's right...... Famous weapons can't be dummies, how can you give them if you want to give them to the court? ”

Yang Yan continued: "Now Zuozang still has a lot of money and silk in reserve, which can allow Feng Xiang and Shuo Fang's army to eat food out of bounds!" ”

Li Shi's heart moved, "Didn't you say before that all the wealth in the world has gone into my big profit treasury?" Why do you now say that there is still money in the left treasury? Inconsistencies. But Li Shi didn't say anything on the surface, and let Yang Yan continue to talk.

"You can issue an edict, after that, the army of Fangzhen will be used by the imperial court, and if you go out to fight, you will be given three times the grain, wine, and meat in the town every day, and the original money will be sent to the soldiers' homes as usual, so that once the soldiers go to war, they can get four times the usual food, and they will definitely be greatly boosted and invincible."

"In that case, will it cost too much?" Li Shi said that this "food out of bounds" discount is a bit scary.

However, Yang Yan insisted that the greater the discount, the better the effect, and boasted that as long as Fengxiang and Shuofang's army could be given "food out of bounds" according to his standards, His Majesty would be able to successfully quell the rebellion without using the army.

In the end, the emperor agreed.

The emperor remembered Guo Ziyi, the king of Fenyang, who was idle at home, and hoped to reactivate him, after all, Guo Ziyi had a very high prestige.

But Guo Ziyi's reward was: The minister is old and sick, and he is afraid of disappointing His Majesty, and he can no longer hold the flag. It is tantamount to refusing the emperor's request.

The helpless emperor had no choice but to give up.

When the edict of eating food out of the realm was quickly delivered to Fengxiang, Zhu Zhu's army finally moved, and Li Huaiguang's army surrounded Jingzhou City.

But then Zhu Zhu was very inactive in attacking the city, and Li Huaiguang and Zhu Zhu also shared the same bed and dreamed differently, unwilling to contribute alone. As a result, tens of thousands of horses and horses in the Fengxiang and Suining military camps ate a steady stream of "out-of-bounds food" every day, but they just didn't attack the city.

The front line from the capital to Jingzhou is all by land, coupled with the spring ploughing season, the surrounding areas of Jingzhou are also abandoned because of the previous tuntian, there is no grain crops that can be fed by war, all rely on the capital, Fengxiang, Gyeonggi transshipment, Cui Ning to send a stone of grain costs three times, the daily consumption of the treasury is amazing, the money is not easy to accumulate, but it is like flowing water.

The emperor kept sending envoys to urge Zhu Jun and Li Huaiguang, but the answers they got were the same:

The city of Jingzhou is strong, we must not rashly attack;

The mutiny in the camp of Anxi, I hope that Your Majesty will still take peaceful means first.

Angry, the emperor urged Yang Yan to do it again.

Yang Yan also panicked, so he wanted to make a compromise and make Jingzhou Kaecheng surrender as soon as possible, so he pleaded: "If the soldiers of Anxi and Beiting camps are unwilling to go to Wonju Tuntian, they can serve as city builders, and the imperial court will recruit people from Gyeonggi to go to Tuntian." ”

As a result, as soon as the song was released, Jingzhao Yin Yanying and Shi Du Huangshang held fierce objections, both of whom had stayed in the former Shuofang shogunate, and knew about the situation in the border area of Tuntian, so they immediately calculated the account with the emperor:

Recruit people to go to Tuntian, you have to give people money! His Majesty also hired people to farm in the inner garden and official village of Gyeonggi, and a person who planted rice and wheat would cost thousands of dollars a month, and now you are not letting people go to Gyeonggi, but Pingliang, a remote and barren Yuanzhou, so you must add money to the family to go, and if you want to open a tun in Pingliang County, you must at least employ tens of thousands of people in turn; In addition, even if you go to grow food, it will not be able to offset the cost for Your Majesty, because all the food must be supplied to the army, otherwise the army will not be able to gain a foothold in Pingliang, and it will cost money to hire people, and the food grown will also go into the mouth of the army, and it will still have to be subsidized. Back and forth, how much money Your Majesty has, it is not enough to fill it in.

Yan Ying and Du Huangshang have always had a clear reputation in the capital, and their dissatisfaction had a great impact on the government and the opposition, which made Yang Yan furious.

Yang Yan finally decided to attack Liu Yan to kill monkeys and make an example.
