"Fighting a war is to ask for money, the Yunzhou treasury originally stored military rations that could be used for five years, but it rained heavily in June last year, and one of the warehouses leaked, causing more than 300 stone of grain to be damp and mildew. The marshal actually listened to him.

Jia Zhiyan continued, and the "that" he said naturally referred to Li Shidao.

"As soon as the war started, I asked for grain and money everywhere, and the inventory was quickly exhausted, at this time, the internal and external grain roads were cut off, Xuanwu needless to say, Wei Bo was also wary of me because I went north to attack Dizhou, and refused to sell grain. In the past, Zhang Jianfeng died of illness, and his son Zhang Su came to ask for an ice coffin, but a short-sighted person actually refused. In the past, he refused to make it convenient for the dead, but today he refuses to save you, a living man. ”

"The purchase of grain was fruitless, and the profiteers took the opportunity to raise it, and the price of grain in Yunzhou changed several times a day, doubling in ten days! In order to buy grain, the bank treasury was quickly depleted, and there was no money and no food, how could this battle be fought? Since then, the temper of the handsome has become more and more irritable, and the Ziqing marshal who is cautious and does not leak anything is gone, and the situation in Ziqing is rotten day by day.

"When the ruler arrived, he did not hesitate to grovel and pay compensation to Xuanwu for peace. Han Hong's old fox, he will take the money if he sends it, but he will never give peace, Ziqing is to lose his wife and break his soldiers, and laugh for the world. A general is incompetent and exhausts the three armies, and those who are subdued inside also see the hope of turning the tables, and they rush to see Han Hong one by one, wagging their tails and begging for mercy, and they do not hesitate to sacrifice their wives and daughters, just hoping to turn the tables with their strength. ”

Overnight, Ziqing became stormy, and in order to stabilize the situation, he could only repeatedly cede power to the four surnames and the right wing. Dizhou gained and lost, not to mention the loss of soldiers, lost morality, and lost friends. Wang Wang Li Fang's four surnames secretly colluded with the right wing, took the opportunity to make waves, and hollowed out the cornerstone of Ziqing, and now the tail is too big to fall, and it has become a malignant tumor that is difficult to get rid of.

"It's just that the heavens are not beautiful, either waterlogging or drought, not locust plague or **, these years of resting with the people, raising people are lazy, pulling the flag and rebelling at every turn, and the government is exhausted. In the early years, we had a good life, and the rule of officials was not strict, especially the local officials were violent and incompetent, which made matters worse. But I didn't fight and let people take the handle...... Many things came together to cause the handsome to carelessly capsize the boat and fall into their way. ”

Jia bluntly said that he has been in a high position for many years, he has won the trust of Li Shigu, and knows many insiders, he is now notorious, if he wants to make a comeback, there must be a strong person to pull him, Li Mao may be the person he was waiting for, so this analysis is from the bottom of his heart, but he did not make a special concealment.

Judging from Jia Zhiyan's analysis, Li Shigu actually lost his power long before he fell into a coma on the polo field, and the reason for his loss of power was that after he monopolized power, he acted willfully, rejoiced in his achievements, and even stepped into the void step by step, and personally ruined the rich foundation he had earned for ten years of conscientious work.

Li Shidao's military admonition only deepened Ziqing's suffering, not the source of Ziqing's suffering. Or it can be said that Li Shidao inadvertently carried the black pot for his brother.

The words are not clear, the reason is not clear, after Jia said this bluntly, the two of them were suddenly enlightened, and everything was clear in their hearts.

"When the moon is full, it is a loss, and when the people are full...... It is easy to act rashly. ”

Li Mao hesitated, but still slandered his boss in front of Jia Zhiyan, but this sentence suddenly shortened the distance between the two a lot, after all, Jia Zhiyan also complained a lot in front of Li Mao.

"Ziqing's current predicament, what is Jia Gong's magic way to solve?"

Jia bluntly shook his head, sighed and said, "No solution." ”

Li Mao asked tentatively: "Ten years ago, when the first marshal passed away, the situation was even more critical than today, at that time the marshal was only a fifteen-year-old boy, why is it only more than ten years later, everything is unsolvable." ”

Jia said bluntly: "If you climb too high and fall too hard, how easy is it to get up again?" ”

Li Mao was silent for a long time, and suddenly said excitedly: "Now that the army is still in the hands of the commander, if you really want to fight to the death, no one will benefit." ”

Jia said bluntly: "Maohua, I remember that you also trained in Gushan Town, and when you were a **, there were only 800 people under your command, but how many mountains did you have?" Can you really do it to your soldiers? ”

Li Mao said silently: "No." In fact, Li Mao also understands this truth, the factions in the tooth army are huge, and they have long been infiltrated by the Li family's clan relatives and the four major families. In addition to military power, Li Shigu actually has no cards to play.

"The imperial court is adding servants to the festival marshal, this is not a good sign, this is the meaning of encouraging them to do it as soon as possible. After returning to Yunzhou after this inspection, don't leave easily unless there is a major matter, and you must prevent them from hurting people with secret arrows. ”

Li Mao said: "At the beginning, Wang Shuwen took the initiative to show favor to the feudal town, and the marshal instructed me to return the favor, but as soon as he gained power, he immediately turned his face and advocated cutting the domain. The eunuchs of the inner court, who originally advocated being tough on the feudal towns, in turn advocated maintaining the status quo, am I too slow, or is the heart of the world unpredictable? ”

Jia said bluntly: "Yin is in the yang, not in the pair of yang, surrounded by yin and yang, different paths to the same end." Wang Shuwen and his ilk are ambitious and talented, and they are not capable of taking the position, but they actually have no ability and ability, so the commander wants you to sponsor him, and such a person is good for anyone on stage. As for the eunuchs, you must not underestimate them, although they are extremely greedy, they are also familiar with the world and understand the hearts of the superiors. ”

Speaking of this, Jia bluntly suddenly lowered his voice and said: "Now that I am sick and disabled, I will not enjoy the country for long, and at the moment, I see that King Guangling is the most likely to be in charge of Qiankun, how do you think this person will treat the feudal town?" ”

"Cut the domain!"

"Cutting the domain. Otherwise, Datang is in danger. ”

Li Mao bowed to Jia bluntly and said: "Jia Gong's words wake up the dreamer, thank you." ”

Bidding farewell to Jia Zhiyan, Li Mao continued his southern tour, and came to Leize County one day, the county lieutenant Li Zhongying was at Jieqiao, Li Mao dismounted and asked: "You were originally an official in Fan County, when was you transferred to Leize." ”

Li Zhong stepped forward to hold Li Mao's horse, and said affectionately: "There is a new county order in Fan County, and if you don't deal with me, I will go to Leize County." Qin sent me to my county to investigate and deal with the treachery, I have something to report. ”

Li Mao said with a smile: "What you can't handle as a county lieutenant, I have the ability to manage it as a foreign official." ”

Li Zhong said: "Don't laugh at Qincha, I'm not a fool, today Ziqing is still the handsome man, how can you not manage the things you want to manage." In fact, if it is a strong man, I am not afraid of him, but he has some connections in Yunzhou, which is not something that ordinary people can move, but he hates this fish and meat country, he does all kinds of evil, and not killing him is not enough to be angry with the people. ”

Li Mao asked who it was, and Li Zhong said: "His surname is Zhang Mingwang, and his elder brother is observing the shogunate as a secretary, relying on his power to do evil in the township." ”

Looking at this person, Li Mao had heard of it, knew that he had an average background, and expected that he was also a master who pulled tiger skin to block the banner, thinking that it was just a gesture, Li Mao agreed. I used it almost in the roadside mat shed, and then drove the horse to Zhangjiazhuang. (Dissertation College)
