"Hehe, Zhou Situ came from afar, Yang did not greet him in time, and hoped to forgive and forgive his sins. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info After welcoming Zhou Zong into the city, Yang Lian smiled very happily, but this smile was very hypocritical in Zhou Zong's opinion.

Zhou Zong now has something to ask for, so he has to smile and say: "Yang Jiedu, this time to attack Wu Yue, Yang Jiedu has made great contributions, and after returning to Jinling, Your Majesty will have a generous reward." ”

"I borrowed Zhou Situji's words." Yang Lian said and brought Zhou Zong into the county office.

The soldiers had already prepared the best tea and brought it up.

"Zhou Situ, please!" Yang Lian was very polite.

Zhou Zong nodded, knowing that this matter was in a hurry, he slowly took a sip of tea, and said with some surprise: "Good tea, I didn't expect Yang Jiedu to be one of them." ”

"Hehe, Zhou Situ also has some research on tea? In this way, when Hangzhou is pacified, I will send Zhou Situ some good tea to ensure that Zhou Situ is satisfied. Yang Lian said.

"In this way, there is a festival of Lao Yang." Zhou Zong said.

The two exchanged pleasantries, and Zhou Zong saw that Yang Lian didn't mention the matter of food at all, and became a little anxious. He didn't want to beg Yang Lian, but the development of things made him a little uncontrollable. The grain roads were robbed, the three armies were short of food, and such a big thing could not be hidden from everyone.

Coupled with the lack of food, Zhou Zong ordered a reduction in the supply of food, and some soldiers were dissatisfied. They shouted for Zhou Zong to improve their food, otherwise they would each have to go home. Zhou Zong didn't take things seriously at first, most of his subordinates were forbidden soldiers, there were old and young in the family, if they became deserters, the family would suffer.

Zhou Zong originally thought that the matter was under his control, but he soon discovered that once these soldiers were unreasonable, they could not say anything at all. For several days the soldiers were noisy and noisy in the big tent. Zhou Zong originally wanted to kill the chicken to show the monkey and deter Xiaoxiao, but Yao Feng persuaded him. If they do kill the soldiers, I'm afraid they will rebel.

Zhou Zong thought that there was such a possibility, so he had to appease the soldiers, saying that he could get food, and after thinking about it, Zhou Zong finally decided to go to Yang Lian. Zhou Zong came for food, and when he saw Yang Lian talking, he didn't mention the matter of food at all, so he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

"Yang Jiedu, now that the grain road has been robbed, our army is short of food, and I hope that Yang Jiedu will help, Zhou is grateful." Zhou Zong thought about it, and finally said this passage with difficulty.

"Huh? Zhou Situ, Yang was distracted for a while just now, and he didn't hear Zhou Situ's words. Yang Lian smiled faintly and put down the teacup in his hand.

Zhou Zong slandered, a smile appeared on his face, and said: "Yang Jiedu, Zhou was disrespectful in the past, but now he is working for the Son of Heaven, and in terms of food, I hope that Yang Jiedu can support one or two." ”

Yang Lian smiled and said, "Zhou Situ, this war to destroy Wu Yue lasted for half a year, and speaking of which, my food consumption is also very large, especially if the grain is transported from the north, the cost is not small. ”

Zhou Zong understood that Yang Lian wanted benefits, Zhou Zong thought about it, and the three armies had also made a lot of money recently, which was just used to buy food.

"As long as Yang Jiedu has food, buy as much as you want!" Zhou Zong said. He felt that Yang Lian didn't have much grain to sell him.

"Hehe, it's easy to say. Zhou Situ, what do you think of this, I will provide 10,000 stone of grain to Zhou Situ first, what is the price......" Yang Lian kept silent, picked up the tea and drank it.

Zhou Zong hurriedly smiled: "Yang Jiedu, the price of rice in Jinling is fifty buckets of rice, considering that Yang Jiedu's grain transportation is not easy, Zhou added twenty dollars, seventy buckets of rice, what does Yang Jiedu think?" ”

Yang Lian slowly put down the teacup, and said slowly: "Zhou Situ, these rice grains are all transported from the waterway, thousands of miles away, the cost of labor, the wear and tear of the grain ship, are a lot of expenses, not to mention that now the war is still frequent, the price of rice and grain in various places has risen, my batch of grain, when I bought it, I was already fighting eighty rice, and Zhou Situ was only seventy, Yang couldn't afford it." ”

Zhou Zong was stunned for a moment, scolded in his heart, thinking that Yang Lian was sitting on the ground and starting the price, thought about it, and asked, "Yang Jiedu, how much is the cost of transportation?" ”

Yang Lian stretched out his finger, pretended to calculate, and said: "Calculate it, the price of doumi is one hundred and sixty-nine, so let's do it, how about giving only one hundred and sixteen?" ”

Zhou Zong's face twitched, one hundred and sixty yuan, if it was placed in the war era, it was not expensive at all, at the end of the Tang Dynasty, Yangzhou, Jinling and other places were in turmoil, and there was a record of 50,000 yuan of rice, but today's situation is different, one hundred and six dollars of rice is too expensive. The Tang army has tens of thousands of people, and every day is a huge consumption, even if a lot of property has been plundered these days, it can't support it.

"Well, that's a fair price, isn't it?" Yang Lian asked.

Zhou Zong felt pain for a while, but he couldn't refuse, so he had to say: "Yang Jiedu, so much money, Zhou can't take it out for a while." ”

"It doesn't matter, Zhou Situ can make an IOU, it's okay to draw a pledge, Yang believes in Zhou Situ's character, besides, even if he can't change it, Yang will suffer a little loss, and at most he will take Zhou Situ's house in Jinling as a mortgage." Yang Lian was still smiling warmly.

"Shameless." Zhou Zong scolded secretly in his heart, thought about it carefully, and said: "Yang Jiedu, so much money, Zhou can't give an answer for a while, and I hope Yang Jiedu can give a little time." ”

"This is natural, Zhou Situ rest assured, the food, even if I don't eat it, I have to keep it for Zhou Situ. However, I still hope that Zhou Situ will make a decision as soon as possible, maybe the price of grain in Jinling will rise again. Yang Lian kindly reminded.

"Yang Jiedu, Zhou said goodbye." After Zhou Zong finished speaking, he stood up and left in a hurry. But he was angry in his heart, Yang Lian's words just now were to remind him that the price of the grain sold to him would rise, but he made a kind reminder, how could he not make Zhou Zong depressed.

"Zhou Situ is good to go, Yang is not in good health, so he will not be sent away." Yang Lian said.

Zhou Zong arched his hand and said coldly: "Don't dare to have Lao Yang Festival!" With that, he hurried out.

Back in the camp, Zhou Zong felt that he had not recovered, Yang Lian sat on the ground and raised the price, beyond his limit, even if the soldiers took out the money, they couldn't buy much food, but Yang Lian shamelessly asked him to use the house as a mortgage, which made it impossible for Zhou Zong to accept it. He serves the country and is honest, although he has some surplus wealth at home, where can he buy Yang Lian's grain?

But if he can't get food, the three armies will collapse, and the three armies will collapse, and his career will probably be over. After Zhou Zong thought about it in the big tent, where did he get this money? Just as he was thinking, the voice of a soldier sounded outside the big tent.

"Eat, eat, eat!" The soldiers shouted in unison.

Zhou Zong frowned, walked out of the big tent, and saw that outside more than 100 departments, many soldiers were shouting in unison, Zhou Zong glanced at it, and found that some of these soldiers were Yao Feng's subordinates, some were Zhou Hongzuo's subordinates, and some were other generals' subordinates.

Zhou Zong didn't see Zhou Hongzuo and Yao Feng and other senior generals, and he didn't know if they were out, or didn't know, or pretended not to know?

The soldiers shouted these two words briefly, and let them go like a group of children, waiting to be fed. A personal soldier walked in and said, "Zhou Situ, something is wrong. ”

"The old man has seen it." Zhou Zong said with some dissatisfaction, thinking to himself that I am not blind, can't I see it?

The soldiers said anxiously: "Zhou Situ, there is a fellow villager in the lower ranks, who is under General Yao, and just now he told me a message privately, if there is no more food, they will attack the big tent." ”

"Bastards, they dare to rebel? Aren't you afraid that the Son of Heaven will kill their whole family? Zhou Zong was furious, these soldiers actually wanted to rebel, it was really bold.

The soldiers shook their heads and said, "Zhou Situ, they may not dare. If this is really the case, at that time, they can push the matter to Wu Yueren, or even Yang Jiedu's side. ”

Zhou Zong pursed his lips and stopped talking. Although he said that he didn't lead many soldiers, he had heard that what these soldiers couldn't do for the sake of profit? Tang Moya will be rebellious, for the sake of money, women, and even food, he can rebel, Zhou Zong does not want this kind of thing to happen to him.

"Does Yao Feng know about this?" Zhou Zong asked.

"I don't know, maybe he knows, maybe he doesn't." The pro-soldier replied, a bit like a tongue twister.

Zhou Zong was silent for a moment, and then the soldiers said: "Zhou Situ, the soldiers are very excited, if they are not appeased in time, I am afraid the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

"The old man understands." Zhou Zong said that after the matter was resolved, he decided to go to the fold and sue Yang Lian.

"How's it going?" In Yuhang City, Yang Lian asked with a smile.

"Yang Jiedu, in the past few days, Zhou Zong's subordinates have only eaten one meal a day, and below the generals, they are all porridge, and the soldiers are not full, so they have opinions. Protesting outside Zhou Zong's camp for several days looks like chaos is about to happen. Zhu Qi said.

"Hey, Zhou Zong is stingy, and he can't bear that little money. If he doesn't give food to the soldiers, I'm afraid he will fall to the ground. Yang Lian said.

Zhu Qi said: "Zhou Zong didn't dare to kill anyone, at this time, if he dared to kill someone, the soldiers would rebel, and the situation would be more serious." ”

"That's right, Zhou Zong can be described as a rat trap, and it's not good to do anything. If you want to blame, you can only blame him for going deep alone and being robbed of the grain road by Qian Wenfeng. Yang Lian said, suddenly remembered again, and said, "How much grain can our army withdraw?" ”

"Yang Jiedu, although our army does not have much food at present, it can also give him 5,000 stones, which can at least relieve him for a few days. Moreover, the grain on the Haizhou side has been loaded, and it will go south in the next two days, and at that time, our army "Yang Jiedu, although our army does not have much food at present, it can also give him 5,000 stones, which can be relieved for at least a few days." Moreover, the grain on the Haizhou side has been loaded, and it will go south in the next two days, and at that time, our army (to be continued. )
