Chapter 191: Su Yuanjing Visits
In this way, not long ago, Wang Qing and Tian Hu jointly sent people to put pressure on Liangshan, asking them to pay a 'benefit fee' of 50,000 yuan to each side every month, otherwise they would make Liangshan's people look good.
Where would the leaders of Liangshan take this threat in their eyes, they also killed it all the way instead of being scared, and naturally ignored the envoys of both ways.
But then Wang Qing and Tian Hu sent people to attack, they did not send a large army to fight, but only sent a small force to harass, of course this point of men and horses could not defeat Liangshan, their target was actually Liangshan's various caravans.
In less than a month, Li Ying's side had already received a lot of bad news, at least one-third of the caravan was hit by the teams on both sides, and the lucky ones were only robbed of money and goods, and the bad luck was simply the whole team was killed.
Perhaps in order to give Liang Shan enough pressure and deterrence, the harassment teams on both sides were extremely vicious and cruel, killing all men, women and children, and some even deliberately stripped away the clothes of the corpses, leaving naked corpses for demonstration, and their methods were far more brutal than those of the officials and soldiers!
At this moment, Liangshan suddenly exploded, and all the leaders were furious, and they all rolled up their arms and sleeves to clean up these bastards, but after all, the high-level leaders led by Wu Yong did not lose their minds, and they couldn't really send an army to conquer Wang Qing and Tian Hu, right? This is really unrealistic, let alone facing two at the same time?
After the final discussion, there are three countermeasures, Song Jiang proposed to discuss with the two parties, whether they can pay less protection fees, everyone values harmony; And Gongsun Sheng proposed to take back the caravan first and observe it for a while; Wu Yong hoped to send troops to deal with the small forces sent by Wang Qing and Tian Hu.
The rest of Lin Chong, Guan Shengchao Gai and other high-level leaders of course support Wu Yong, but it is also very difficult to implement, if too many guards are sent to protect the caravan, on the one hand, the cost will be greatly increased, and on the other hand, it may not be effective - after all, the initiative of the attack is in the other party, it is not difficult to catch the thief, the difficult thing is to prevent the thief, especially the thousand-day anti-thief.
So everyone really had no choice, so on the one hand, they had to take Gongsun Sheng's suggestion to temporarily withdraw the caravan, and on the other hand, they immediately asked Dai Zong to go to the capital, informed Ye Ling of the news, and asked the lord of Dazhai to decide the matter.
At this time, Yue Fei, Shi Xiu, Shi Qian and others were also sitting in Ye Ling's new mansion, and when they heard the news from Dai Zong, they were all furious, and Shi Xiu immediately took the initiative to ask Ying to go back to deal with these birds who dared to covet the cottage.
And Yue Fei, who has always been calm and calm, actually recommended himself at this time, and was willing to go for Ye Ling, and Ye Ling of the province went back to waste time, and also wasted the good situation in the court now.
It turned out that although Yue Fei was already dissatisfied with the imperial court at this time, it was still a little difficult for him to directly fight with the imperial court immediately, after all, Zong Ze and the others had treated him well before, but let him deal with Wang Qing and Tian Hu and other traitors, then there would be no psychological pressure.
Ye Ling is naturally extremely angry about Wang Qing and Tian Hu's robbery, but after all, he has a more long-term vision and will not be impulsive immediately - this is easy, but as Yue Fei said, the good situation that he finally got from the imperial court here will be wasted, but it will not work if he is completely left alone, it will undoubtedly encourage the arrogance of the other party, and if he can't get the old traitor behind his back, he will take the opportunity to do something.
Ye Ling stood up and walked back and forth in the mansion, thinking about countermeasures by the way, Yue Fei and the others didn't dare to disturb, they all sat there and waited quietly.
At this time, a doorman suddenly came to report that Lord Taiwei had come to visit.
Ye Ling couldn't help but be stunned: "Gao Yu? ”
Hearing that Ye Ling unceremoniously called Gao Yu's name, the doorman was also a black line, but he still obediently pretended not to hear it, and immediately replied: "Lord Qiqi, it's not Gao Taiwei, but Su Taiwei." ”
Ye Ling suddenly realized that the Taiwei is not like an official position that can only be held by one person at the same time, such as the Shangshu of the Ministry of War, but can be held by many people, for example, there are more than ten Taiwei in the current dynasty, but there are three people with the heaviest real authority, it is Su Yuanjing, Gao Yu and Yang Jian, because Cai Jing and other people from the turbidity current faction have been extremely enveloped to him recently, so Gao Yu and Yang Jian have also met a few times, and when he heard the report, he immediately thought it was Gao Yu, but he didn't expect it to be another giant Su Yuanjing.
Su Yuanjing naturally will not be in the same stream with Gao Yu and others, on the contrary, he is one of the leaders of Qingliu, although Ye Ling has officially become the two important positions of Jinwu envoy and Honglu Temple sacrificial wine for more than a month, but he has never taken the initiative to make friends, after all, most people think that Ye Ling is a person on Cai Jing's side, and everyone is a different furnace of ice and fire!
And Ye Ling also didn't take the initiative to visit Su Yuanjing, he also didn't want to befriend others, anyway, he had another purpose in the imperial court, just to stay here temporarily, so why bother to drill the camp?
However, when he heard that Su Yuanjing took the initiative to visit, Ye Ling naturally couldn't ignore it, and hurriedly greeted him in person, and the other party was still above him in terms of official position.
After the two sides met and exchanged a few words, Ye Ling invited Su Yuanjing to the inner hall, and someone had already sent a fragrant tea and snacks, and then they all retreated, leaving only the two adults to talk.
Ye Ling has never liked to go around in circles, so he went straight to the point and said: "Lord Su is an important minister of the imperial court, and he has every opportunity, and he must have some advice when he comes to the contemptible place today. ”
Hearing that Ye Ling was so bold and Su Yuanjing was also impressed, of course he didn't come to play, he actually came to Ye Ling for two purposes, first, to observe this new favorite of Huizong, what kind of character is the popular fried chicken in the imperial court, is it a disciple of Cai Jing through and through, or does he have a chance to win them over? Second, there are important things to consult.
Therefore, seeing that Ye Ling opened the skylight as soon as he came up and said bright words, instead of talking nonsense, this made him feel that there was still a chance to win him over, so he put down the teacup and said unhurriedly: "Lord Du is really fast-talking, young people should be like this, there is indeed something about this official's visit this time, I don't know if Lord Du has heard of the recent turmoil in Qingzhou?" ”
Ye Ling was suddenly slightly startled, Qingzhou? Disturbance? Could it be that Wang Qingtian Hu and others made it up? How could Su Yuanjing suddenly mention this, could it be that he doubted his identity and deliberately came to test himself?
However, Ye Ling had already experienced strong winds and waves, although he was shocked, he was not chaotic, he just said calmly: "Oh? Is there such a thing? After all, Xia Guan has just arrived at the imperial court, and he knows very little information, so I hope my lord will explain it in detail. ”
