Chapter 1195 Jinguancheng, Wen's (Second Update)
Jin Guancheng.
The ten-zhang city wall is like a tiger entrenched in the Shuzhong Plain, looking at the trend of the world, solid as gold.
Contrary to the bloody and bloody war in Jiangbei, Jinguan City is full of traffic, peace and joy.
As the imperial capital of Shu Kingdom, on both sides of the street, there are many shops, teahouses, restaurants, pawnshops, workshops, open spaces, and many small traders with board cars.
The street spreads from west to east, leading directly to the palace, the closer to the palace, the more upscale the restaurant, the more majestic the building, row upon row in the pavilion, it is the place of pleasure and poetry.
Due to the blockage of the Eastern Jiange Mountain Range, the Shu Kingdom is separated from the Eastern Wuyue Chu Cai, and the Yangtze River in the north is ensured to ensure that the Shu Kingdom is not threatened from the north.
Therefore, the statue of Shu is isolated from the world and is not affected by the war in the east and north.
The soldiers are strong, and there are many scribes.
As the imperial capital, Jinguancheng is a rich place in commerce, rich in agriculture, and strong soldiers and horses in Gyeonggi, which is a rich place in the south and a rich land in Shu.
Recently, because Jiangbei is in full swing, the imperial court is secret, and ordinary people are difficult to know.
However, a small number of merchants fled back to Jinguan City from Jiangbei, and all kinds of gossip continued, and the atmosphere in the city was tense.
Therefore, many shop owners take to the streets, go to the streets, talk to each other, in restaurants, or in teahouses, to inquire about the news, and want to respond.
Central Street East, close to the Royal Palace, Penglai Inn,
In Jinguan City, the most prosperous restaurant, guests, dignitaries and nobles, businessmen and chaebols, scribe leaders, and ordinary people are not eligible to stay.
Here, you can enjoy the excellent service of the maids, and you can also enjoy the delicious food from all over the Shu country.
More importantly, because of the haunting of officials and merchants, it is also a very important place for the exchange of information.
In the hall of the inn, the guests and friends are satisfied, there are businessmen talking loudly about the journey, and there are scribes chanting poems softly, learning from each other, but it is also lively.
Although their status is far less noble than that of the guests in the private room, those who can enter and exit the Penglai Inn are either rich or expensive.
At this time, a businessman dressed as middle-aged walked in, his face full of tiredness.
I found a place at random, summoned a waiter, hurriedly ordered two side dishes, a pot of warm wine, and sat in the position.
The seat was not yet warm, and in the seat next to him, a businessman got up and walked up, and said with a smile: "Boss Li, it's better to meet by chance and go over and drink together!"
The businessman surnamed Li reluctantly raised his head, glanced at the other party, and gradually showed a smile on his face: "Okay, Boss Yang!"
Immediately, I got up and moved and sat down at the table next to me. The three people in front of him were all people who looked at each other in the past, Li Yue was not polite, picked up the wine jug, poured himself full of wine, and drank it full.
At this time, the businessman sitting on the other side clasped his fists and said happily: "Boss Li, congratulations, this trip should be a lot of money, right?"
This merchant named Yang Mu is most familiar with Li Yue, and knows that Li Yue went to Jiangbei half a month ago with three ships of special products in Jinguan City, ready to sell them to the northern nobles.
However, the war in the north continues, and it is also very dangerous to go to the north.
Hearing this, Li Yue grabbed the wine jug, poured it full of wine, and poured a full wine cup for Yang Mu, with a declining look, and said: "I'm not afraid of your jokes, Jiangbei is in full swing, this trip, it's all a loss!"
"No, if you remember correctly, Brother Li went to Jiangbei and never went to the territory of Yan Kingdom, and was he also affected by the war?" These merchants, each other, informed each other of the news, the merchants in Jinguan City, had already known about the war in the north, and the merchants surnamed Wang next to them asked.
Li Yue raised his head, glanced at the scribe who was chanting poetry not far away, and said cautiously: "In Jinguan City, some miscellaneous pieces deliberately whitewash the peace, how can it be clear that the Shu army is losing and retreating in Jiangbei, and the Yan army is attacking the city and pulling out the village, and the four counties of Lianke.
When I returned from Jiangbei, the Yanguo Iron Cavalry had already broken into Heyang County, and it seemed that it was a matter of time before I went to Haishan County to change hands."
Hearing the sound, at the dining table, Yang Mu's three businessmen, their faces were full of surprise, and they didn't believe it.
Up to now, the people in Jinguan City know that the Shu army is fighting bloodily in Jiangbei, but Jiangbei has neither sent back good news nor bad news, so they are slightly suspicious of Li Yue's words.
At this time, Yang Mu approached Li Yue and reminded softly: "Brother Li, if you talk nonsense, you will be arrested by the imperial court for spreading rumors, don't talk nonsense!"
"Yes, King Yong, the general who protects the country, the general who defends the country, leads hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers and fierce generals, gathers in Jiangbei, can't you stop the Yan army?" The merchant surnamed Wang asked incredulously.
Since the imperial court sent King Yong, Ni Chenjun led 100,000 elite soldiers to Jiangbei, and in addition, the court publicized in Jinguan City that King Yong and Ni Chenjun led the troops and would easily defeat a million Yan cavalry.
Even if the situation cannot be reversed, it will not be easy for the territory of Shu to be seized by the Yan army.
"Yes, before King Yong led his troops to the battle, didn't he have a strategy to break the enemy?" The slightly wealthy merchant next to him asked.
At this time, Li Yue squinted his eyes and swept the three people in front of him, and said with a little disdain: "So what, if you go to the west and see the scene of the wild wolf chasing the yellow sheep, that is the battle situation of the two armies of Yan and Shu in Jiangbei, the Shu army has nearly 300,000 troops, almost all of which have been lost, and it is estimated that there are only tens of thousands left when they are in Heyang County."
Hearing this, Yang Mu was surprised and warned again: "Boss Li, if this is the case, don't talk nonsense, like this, mislead the people, affect the morale of the soldiers, and even be arrested red-handed."
"Don't worry, which is more important, how dare I talk nonsense, when I buy some goods in the near future, I will go to Jiangbei quickly." Li Yue said with a smile.
For a while, the eyes of the four bosses present were all focused on Li Yue, and Yang Mu asked: "Why is this, the war in the north is in full swing, why do you still go to Jiangbei to do business, aren't you afraid of losing all your money?"
"You don't have to worry!" Li Yue said with confidence.
At this time, Yang Mu's face suddenly turned gloomy, and he shouted: "Boss Li, you dare to be an enemy, do you want to live for a long time?"
Hearing this, Li Yue stood up abruptly and shouted, "Yang Mu, don't talk nonsense, who is the enemy?"
In the angry words, attracting the attention of all the guests in the Penglai Inn, Li Yue hurriedly sat down and said softly: "Yang Mu, Emperor Yan is in the eight counties of Jiangbei, promulgating preferential policies, and the official accepts goods at a price higher than the market, I go to Jiangbei, what's wrong?"
Hearing this, Yang Muzhen said: "It's not too early, please have a drink another day and say goodbye."
Li Yue arched his hand, and immediately, his mind was all on the food in front of him.
Leaving Penglai Inn, Yang Mu hurriedly took a sedan chair to Wenfu.
Wen's is the gate lord of Shu, with strong financial resources, and in the military and political circles, there are clansmen who control it, and Wen's is second only to the gate valve of the royal family in Shu, and he is also the leader of the business community of Shu.
Recently, the Wen clan has suddenly lowered their profile a lot, Wen knows that the Jiangbei army is defeated, and everyone in Jinguan City knows it.
Many people, fearing that the Yan State Iron Cavalry would enter the Shu Kingdom, claimed that the Wen family canceled the marriage contract with the Yan Emperor, which attracted the Yan army to retaliate.
If Yan Guotie rode across the Yangtze River, all the Wen clansmen would be escorted to Emperor Yan in exchange for peace between Yan and Shu.
The Wen clan understood that the source of the rumors must be related to political opponents, so they restrained their edges a lot.
At this moment, the Shu Kingdom, regardless of the officials or the common people, is mostly concerned about the war in Jiangbei, for fear that there will be any accidents, and the Yan army will cross the river to the south, and the Wen family will be in great trouble.
Wen Mansion, in the study.
Not long ago, Wen Zhenyan and his family Wen Qingyun had just discussed how the family should deal with the pressure from the imperial court and how to fight against Yan Junbingfeng.
It's a pity that after thinking about it, the result was unsatisfactory, at least, before the war in the north was clear, very unsatisfactory.
Wen Zhenyan secretly pondered that he had discussed with the head of the family and severed his marriage with Emperor Yan, which was really a hidden danger for the decline of the family.
However, who would have expected that Emperor Yan was the lord of the heroes and swept through the north in just a few years.
In contemplation, outside the study, the anxious voice of the housekeeper came, and said, "Master, Yang Mu has entered the mansion and has something important to tell you!"
Wen Zhenyan put the book in his hand on the bookcase, and said in a tepid voice: "Please let him in."
Soon, Yang Mu walked into the study, saw Wen Zhenyan's bitter expression, and hurriedly saluted: "Villain Yang Mu, have you seen an adult?"
Wen Zhenyan's eyes swept over Yang Mu, and he asked impatiently: "Yang Mu, what is the matter with the Jiangbei War?"
The Wen clan shared intelligence with the merchants of Shu State just to expand their business, but the war in the north was in full swing, and the intelligence of both sides also included reconnaissance of the military situation in Jiangbei.
Yang Mujaw, his face was slightly worried, and replied: "My lord, the war in Jiangbei is not satisfactory,"
"What the hell is going on?"
An unsatisfactory sentence made Wen Zhenyan feel anxious in his heart, and he couldn't help but ask anxiously.
The more unfavorable the war in Jiangbei, the deeper the resentment of the people in Jinguan City towards the Wen family, waiting for the Yan army to jump across the Yangtze River, and the stronger the people's condemnation of the Wen family.
Even if the emperor is clear about Wen's attitude, even if Wen's is deeply rooted in Shu, in the condemnation of the people, for the sake of the overall situation, the emperor may sacrifice the Wen family and calm the people's grievances.
Yang Mu didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly told the news he got in the Penglai Inn.
When Wen Zhenyan heard this, his face gradually became heavy, and his expression became serious, as if he was suddenly much older.
At present, the court has not received any defeat in Jiangbei, and the taste of war in Jinguan City is not very strong. If what Yang Mu said is true, the war in the north is lost, and the seriousness of the matter will be unprecedented.
Wen Zhenyan hurriedly got up and asked, "Yang Mu, whether the news is reliable or not, there is no room for any mistakes."
"My lord, the villain has been sure again and again, the information will never be fake." Yang Mu cut the railway.
At this time, Wen Zhenyan's face became more and more ugly, and he hurriedly instructed the housekeeper: "Fu Bo, prepare the car, the official will discuss with the head of the family, and immediately go to the palace and report to the emperor. Yang Mu, you choose a capable nursing home in the mansion, go to the Penglai Inn, capture the boss of the salute, and take it outside the palace, at that time, you may need to meet with the emperor,"
"Yes!" The housekeeper and Yang Mu left one after another,
Wen Zhenyan got up and walked towards the book of the head of the family, and as he walked forward, he couldn't help but sigh secretly, could it be that in order to protect the interests and honor of the family, the Wen family must give up the Shu Kingdom, secretly show favor to Lin Feng, strive to obtain Lin Feng's understanding, and quietly move the clansmen to the Yan Kingdom, so as to ensure that the family will not fall for a hundred years.
