Chapter 300: Slander
Yu Wenhua and carrying a pot of liquor named Longcheng Feijiang, standing on the west gate tower of Tongding City, blowing a fierce cold wind, the more he drank, the more hot he became.
Luo Cheng took his three thousand soldiers away, and now this Tongding City finally belongs to him Yu Culture.
Three thousand town soldiers took over the defense of Dingcheng, but he always felt uncomfortable.
Taishou Li Jing is also gone, so now Tongding City is almost an empty city, except for his 3,000 town soldiers, there is no one.
On the contrary, it is Xiangping New Town, which is twenty miles away, but it is in full swing, not to mention that Luo Cheng led 3,000 county soldiers to garrison, and he also pulled more than 10,000 people over there, in addition, Li Jing recruited many merchants and set up a market there to trade all kinds of materials. Even many Hu merchants who originally wanted to go to Huaiyuan to trade now went directly to trade there.
The pot of Dragon City Flying General worth thousands of dollars in his hand now was bought by his subordinates from there.
Li Jiancheng sat behind him with one arm hanging, but his good hand was roasting.
"This Dragon City Flying General is really not cheap, just a pot of wine, but it is only a small half bucket, but it sells for a thousand dollars." Li Jiancheng roasted the mutton, because his hands were not good, so Li Jiancheng did not move to Tongding County in Xiangping New Town to take office.
"I heard that the wine-making people only sold it for five hundred, and those profiteers dared to sell it for thousands after it changed hands several times."
Yu Wenhua scolded those profiteers with a bit of alcohol. But in my heart, the most unhappy thing is that the wine is not controlled. In the past, the largest share of the border market transactions in western Liaoning was controlled by his Yu Culture and his brothers. Whether it was tea or silk, horses or slaves, iron tools, wine and medicine, he was a monopoly.
Every year, the transaction in Huaiyuan Town alone does not know how much benefit it will bring him.
But now Xiangping City has not been built, but Li Jing's bazaar has greatly affected the border market of Huaiyuan Town, which is still three hundred miles later, which is no longer considered a border market, and Xiangping has become a new border market.
The emergence of a new market affected his interests in Huaiyuan City, but he failed to control the Xincheng market. Guy because of that damn Xiangping border city, which is now controlled by a few military leaders.
Among them, the most powerful and the largest proportion is naturally Li Jing, the Taishou of Liaodong, and then Luo Yi, the head of the First Army, and Song Laosheng, the head of the Second Army.
And because he had a bad deal with Li Jing and Luo before, the two of them gave him Tongding City and built another new city, he got an empty city, but they built a cornucopia.
Although most of the Central Plains merchants who supply to Xiangping New City still have to be transferred from Huaiyuan, he can also draw a lot of profits from it, but watching people eat large pieces of meat, he can only drink soup, how can he be willing to do this.
"County Lieutenant, although your wine was bought from a profiteer, I heard that the person who made the wine, I heard that it was Na Luo Cheng."
"Are you sure?"
"What is uncertain, although Luo Cheng is relatively secretive and has fallen a few times in the middle, it is not so difficult to really check. This wine is brewed by Luo Cheng, Liaobianbao and Xiangping Camp, the winery is directly in his two military camps, using wine made from sorghum transported from Huaiyuan, although I don't know why he can make such a good wine from sorghum, but this is the case. Luo Cheng used the soldiers and auxiliaries to make wine in the military camp, and then sold it in bulk to Luo Yi, Song Laosheng, and Li Jing at a price of three to five hundred yuan per bucket, and then they distributed it and sold it to the merchants of the Central Plains of Huaiyuan, or the Hu people in the north. ”
It is precisely because of the money to be made that whether it is Li Jing, the Taishou, or the generals Luo Yi and Song Laosheng, they are all covering for Luo Yi's winemaking.
If it weren't for this, although Luo Cheng was the new Marquis of Xiangyang, he was a person with no roots, how could he keep such a cornucopia cash cow?
"Li Jing, that old horseman." Yu Wenhua and scolded.
If it weren't for Li Jing's deliberate shelter of Luo Cheng several times, he would not have endured it in one breath until today. The old guy sent someone to deliver the message several times, making it clear that he wanted to cover Luo Cheng, saying that he had accepted Luo Cheng as a disciple, although he was put on a position by Luo Cheng, he didn't dare to force it.
Li Jing's name is there, although the family background of the Li family is not as good as Li Mu, Li Hu, and Li Bi, the three Li wealthy families, they are also quite strong.
After all, those who can become the generals of the Twelve Guards are not idle people, although his father is favored by the emperor, but it is his father. In this Liaodong, on his own, he didn't dare to scold Li Jing, not to mention that there was a Luo Yi who also protected Luo Cheng.
Yu Wenhua turned his head and glanced at Li Jiancheng's hanging arm.
"Da Lang, you never thought about avenging the broken arm that day?"
Li Jiancheng flipped the roasted dripping mutton, "If you have revenge, you won't take revenge, it's not a gentleman." ”
Someone broke his arm, of course Li Jiancheng would not let go of this matter, in fact, he had already sent several letters to his father Li Yuan. He didn't have the ability to overturn Luo Cheng himself, so he could only ask Li Yuan for help. In addition to complaining, he also encouraged his father to find a way to cut off Luo Cheng's ordnance supply.
His father is now Wei Weiqing, who accompanied the emperor in Zhuo County, and was in charge of the ordnance supply of the million-dollar Eastern Crusade army.
"It's not enough to cut off his ordnance supply, then the dog day is not on the front line to fight now, and now it is the county of Liaodong, and when the army comes, this dog day may continue to be his county in the rear, what if there is no ordnance supply at that time?" Yu Wenhua gritted his teeth, with Li Jing and Luo Yi taking care of Luo Cheng, he didn't have a good way to fix Luo Cheng in Liaodong alone. Especially Luo Cheng still has 6,000 men and horses under his hands, if he really has to work hard, his 3,000 town soldiers can't beat them.
"We have to find a way to get Na Luo Cheng to cross the river."
"Crossing the river?" Li Jiancheng asked.
"Well, but how can there be a chance in the river, there are two old immortals, Li Jing and Luo Yi, just the two of us, and Luo Cheng can't kill this bastard. Think of a way to let your father and my father make a statement to the emperor and send Luo Cheng to be a pioneer. Didn't the army set out on the first day of the first month? It will take at least a month or two for the army to come from Zhuo County, just in time for Luo Cheng to cross the river first. ”
Although Yu Wenhua is only a lieutenant of Liaodong County, his father is Yu Wenshu.
It is useless for him to speak directly to the emperor, but if it is his father who speaks to the emperor, the emperor will listen to it nine times out of ten.
Here, he can't do Luo Cheng, there is nothing he can do with him, but as long as his father says a word, Luo Cheng can cross the river, there are 150,000 Goguryeo troops on the other side of the Liao River, Luo Cheng can fight again, thousands of soldiers and horses can do more than 150,000 people?
After Yu Wenhua went back, he wrote a letter to his father, asking his father to take this breath for him.
Quickly whipped back to Zhuo County in a few days, Yuwenshu only smiled slightly after reading the letter.
It's just a nonsense between young people, but Yu Wenshu is the most favored and this son, how can he be so wronged outside, isn't he Luo Yi's step-heir, Li Jing's optimistic young man, what is it.
When he was accompanying the emperor in the palace that day, Yuwenshu took the time to mention Luo Cheng, a young man, to the emperor, saying that the army would officially set out in a few days, so it was better to let Luo Cheng, a brave young general who performed well in the battle of Tongding City, lead his headquarters as the vanguard and go out to reconnoiter the enemy before crossing the Liao River.
"Crossing the river? Will it be too early? ”
"It's not early, the million-strong army is about to set out, and it's time to send a forward to cross the river. Although this Luo Cheng is young, he is brave and good at fighting, and he has the style of Luo Yi. ”
Emperor Yang Guang has always been very fond of Yuwenshu, and after listening to his suggestion, he just thought about it and said, "Okay, then add Feng Luo to become the general of Huyalang, grant the Liao vanguard general seal, and let him command the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, and cross the river into Liao on the first day of the first month of the eighth year of the Great Cause!" ”
