When he sat down, Zhang Mingjun pushed Li Mao to take a seat, Li Mao let Zhang Mingjun sit on the top in the way of host and guest, Zhang Mingjun sighed in his heart, and felt a little ashamed, so he took the initiative to ask Li Mao about the intention of this trip.
Li Mao didn't go around in circles, and directly said his hidden worries, Xingyuan Mansion and Shannan West Road are the places where the four-way army must pass, and the task of raising food and clothing is very heavy. Zhang Mingjun sighed: "The people have been peaceful for too long, and when they encountered the fire, they panicked for a while, and rumors spread around, and they hid their belongings one after another. The high-ranking commander marched to the rule of law, the officials were afraid, and they fled one after another, and there was no one in their hands, how to raise it for the old man? ”
Li Mao said: "The supply of food and clothing cannot be interrupted, so three points will be added to the regular parity price, and the list will clearly show the people." ”
Zhang Mingjun said: "I did it, but the people didn't believe it." ”
Li Mao said: "Because of rumors? ”
Zhang Mingjun said: "Liu Pi sent the disciples of the Five Courtyards to spread rumors everywhere, and the Tubo people also took the opportunity to make waves and sent a large number of people to disturb the audio-visual. ”
Li Mao said: "Liu Bi wants to mess with my rear, the Tubo people are fishing in troubled waters, and the longer and harder the Tang Dynasty fights, the more beneficial it will be to him." I immediately dispatched a group of people to punish these spies severely, and in addition, they spread rumors, and we can also spread them, which are even more false and ridiculous than theirs, so as to help the people distinguish right from wrong and reduce the adverse effects caused by rumors. ”
Zhang Mingjun was shocked: "Pacifying the envoy is exactly what the old man has to do but can't do it, he has a plan to go through the wall, I have a ladder to go up, I will also put you fake news, if you put too much, people won't believe it." It's a pity that the old man has no one in his hands, and he can't do it if he wants to. ”
Li Mao smiled faintly, changed the topic, and said: "In addition, the transaction must be fair, this must be strictly supervised, and those who cheat, raise prices, and make a fortune in the country, no matter who they are, must be severely punished. Zhang Mingjun praised: "This idea is good, I will supervise it immediately." ”
Li Mao said again: "Withdraw all the officials who went to the countryside to urge grain, go down to raise grain, and ruin the reputation of the government, the government must show sincerity in extraordinary times, do not oppress the people, give people a handle, and resolutely eliminate those black sheep. ”
Zhang Mingjun was very interested in Li Mao's idea of purging officials, and he was keenly aware that he could make a splendid article on this matter and take advantage of the extraordinary period to seek extraordinary benefits for himself. So he generously said: "Please reassure and rest assured, Mingjun will be strictly supervised, and will never let those black sheep cause a big deal." ”
You Du Zhi asked: "If all the grain is purchased and the government treasury is insufficient, can the tax be used to offset the price of grain?" ”
Li Mao said: "I will report the money to everyone immediately and pay it to the account as soon as possible." If you want to win the hearts and minds of the people, you must show sincerity, and it is better to settle the money in cash, and there will be no arrears. ”
Everyone rejoiced: "In this way, we will have the bottom in our hearts." ”
Li Mao said to Zhang Mingjun again: "I left two lieutenants with Luan in the house, and when there were big families with connections with Chang'an who resisted, I handed them over. ”
This remark is very much Zhang Mingjun's heart, the most troublesome thing about being a magistrate is to deal with those big families who have people in the imperial court, and if you are not careful, you will be burned. Li Mao was considerate of the situation, helped him solve his worries, and greatly improved Zhang Mingjun's perception of Li Mao, and immediately ordered to convene all the staff officials in the palace, announced Li Mao's decision in public, and introduced the two lieutenants left by Li Mao to the officials.
At the end, Zhang Mingjun dropped a few cruel words: "The crusade against Xichuan is the first battle of the new dynasty, and Xu Sheng is not allowed to lose." Zhang Mingjun, the meritorious deeds of his colleagues, did not dare to plunder the United States, but if anyone disregarded the overall situation and dragged his feet in the rear, he would blame Zhang Mingjun for not being merciful and stumbling with him to the end. ”
Zhang Mingjun was able to say such a thing, and Li Mao was deeply grateful.
Su Zuoming heard that Li Mao had come to Xingyuan Mansion and asked to see him, and Li Mao replied: "It's better not to see it." Su Zuoming then dismissed the idea of meeting in private, and just chatted with Li Mao in front of everyone at the reception banquet.
Yan Li heard that Li Mao went to Xingyuan Mansion in Lizhou Daying, and he didn't understand what he meant, and he was uneasy, and later heard that Li Mao was going to stabilize the rear, not for him. I felt a little at ease, and when I found out about Li Mao's stabilization measures, I was shocked, and said to my son Yan Qin: "It is said that he can be a pacifier, relying on the favor of the Son of Heaven, it seems that this person still has some means." Yan Qin disagreed: "There are many talents in the court, as long as you are not very pedantic and can accept advice, you can get it even if you are a dog." ”
Yan Li has always wanted to enter the court as an official, but no one recommended him, and over time, when he mentioned the court officials, he was angry, and after listening to Yan Qin's two angry words, his heart was very smooth, and he scolded with a smile: "You, you, you are all old, and you are still so childish when you speak." ”
Seeing that his father-in-law was happy, Yan Qin took the opportunity to say: "My son just got the news, Wen Dezhao and Yin Mu are not on good terms, and want to relieve their military power, Yin Mu is strictly guarded, and the two are on the same footing, Wen Dezhao will deploy the main force on the cross slope in the east of the city to defend Yin Mu, if I send strange soldiers to raid Jianzhou, the chance of victory is very great." ”
Yan Li's troops had 12,000 troops, the largest number of soldiers in each department, and the morale was the strongest, but his own attitude was the most negative.
After listening to Yan Qin's words, Yan Li said disapprerovitically: "Brothers fight at home, they can break their heads and bleed, and when outsiders bully them, they can donate their previous suspicions, unanimously with the outside world, and slow down, let them coax away, we will not move, maybe they can really get angry." ”
Yin Mu was originally a general of the Ziqing Qing Navy, and Li Shigu wanted to split the Qing Navy, thinking that it was in the way, and squeezed him out of Xichuan. Wei Gao used it to defend the border, and later saw that Yin Mu was quite talented, so he reused it as a general of the Jiedu tooth, stationed in Shuangliu, and guarded Chengdu. After Liu Pi attacked and occupied Dongchuan, he sent Yin Mu to guard Jianzhou, and then listened to Lu Wenruo's words, and sent Wen Dezhao as the assassin to contain him.
Wende Zhao and Yin Mu do not agree, and they often have contradictions.
Yan Qin wanted to take advantage of the discord between the two to attack Jianzhou, and several requests for battle were rejected by Yan Li. Last night, he received an eyeliner placed in Jianzhou and found out that Yin Mu and Wen Dezhao had made a fuss, and he was overjoyed, and he wanted to invite cavalry to attack the city, but he didn't want to be vetoed by Yan Li again. Feeling frustrated for a while, he was unhappy when he came out, and took the guards to the wine shop outside the camp to drink.
As soon as the person sat down, he suddenly heard someone nearby say: "Yesterday, the official army broke a stockade in Jizhou, captured and killed more than 500 Tibetan spies, and the blood of the killing was like a river, so it was not majestic. ”
"Nonsense, how can there be so many spies, I heard that there are fifty spies, not from Tibet, but from the south."
"I heard that the pacification envoy from the imperial court called...... Something, it also appeared in Jizhou, mighty. ”
"Mighty fart, no matter how mighty you are, can you have our handsome and majestic?"
"That's, that's, there is Yan Shuai guarding Lizhou, alas, no one in the entire Xichuan dares to come, mighty!"
Yan Qin only felt that he couldn't cry or laugh, Yan Li's troops in Lizhou were extremely imposing, but he didn't pull out the camp and go south, even the people knew to say strange things, but who could blame him, Yan Dashuai did just eat food and didn't fight.
"Li Mao has arrived in Jizhou." Yan Qin suddenly became excited, "Why don't you ask Li Mao to come forward and say that Yan Li is marching?" ”
As soon as this bold idea came out, Yan Qin himself was shocked, he lost his parents at a young age, it was Yan Li who raised him, and he could have today, it was Yan Li who gave him, and asked for help to appease his father-in-law who was forced to have the grace of recreation, what is this?
The guards who accompanied Yan Qin to drink saw that Yan Qin's face was white and red for a while, his body trembled slightly, he was shocked, and he urgently asked if he was unwell. Yan Qin said: "I slept late last night, I'll go back to sleep for a while, if the handsome don't look for me, I won't see anyone." ”
Yan Litun's troops did not move in Lizhou, and the generals under his command were idle all day long, and it was not suitable to gather people to gamble is to enter the city ****, Yan Qin was not exempt from vulgarity, he went into the city to visit the kiln last night, and he tossed until dawn before returning to the camp, saying that he was tired and sleepy, and everyone could understand.
Yan Qin touched the hanging money and threw it on the table, and left alone, the prostitute house he frequented was familiar to everyone, so there was no need to explain otherwise. Yan Qin walked through the streets and alleys to the prostitute's house, but instead of going to sleep, he was going to do something big that he thought should be done.
Li Mao stepped out of the Jizhou Assassin's Mansion, and then said to Xiao Yu: "The burned down houses, the government should help them build them as soon as possible, don't give some money, forget it, in extraordinary times, even if it is pretended, it must be decent." ”
Xiao Yu replied again and again, and said: "The humble position will be done immediately." ”
Seeing Li Mao and his entourage ride away, Xiao Yu wiped the hot sweat oozing from his forehead, looked at Sima and Lu Shi to join the army, and the three of them looked at each other, and they all sighed, and they all had the happiness of the rest of their lives after the catastrophe.
Li Mao's men set up a stronghold of the Tubo people in a ravine thirty miles outside the city of Jizhou, captured and killed 40 Tubo spies, and these spies used this as a stronghold to be active at the junction of Shannan West Road and Dongchuan, spreading rumors, deceiving the people, killing the mountain people, creating panic, attacking the grain route, sabotaging the march, and committing many crimes.
Close under the nose, but the local officials turned a blind eye, it can be described as a dereliction of duty, Li Maoruo took advantage of this to clean the Jizhou officialdom, from the assassin history to the Xu officials, almost no one was spared.
In the past few days, everyone has followed Li Mao's ass to run errands, and they can't breathe when they are depressed, and they have waited for Li Mao for two days and two nights with trembling, and now they have finally survived the dawn, Li Mao floated away, and did not show the knife, and everyone suddenly felt the pleasure of the rest of their lives after the catastrophe.
Happiness came too fast, a little in a daze for a while, just at this time a flying horse came, was intercepted by the officials, sat on the horse and shouted: "There is an urgent message sent to comfort the Yichun Courtyard in Lizhou." ”
The officials were shocked, and hurriedly pointed out the direction and said: "The pacification envoy has just left, go quickly, go quickly." ”
When the messenger heard this, he turned his horse's head and chased after him.
The sound of horses' hooves went away, and everyone came to their senses and looked at Xiao Yu, who said innocently: "I hope the old man is doing something, Lizhou Yichun Yuan sent a letter to him, not to the old man." ”
After saying that, the old assassin Shi thought: "This person is really unpredictable, the three sects and the nine streams really have friends in every line, and even Yichun Yuan sent a letter to invite him, what other big things can happen in this Yichun Yuan?" ”
