Chapter 15 Exchange of Benefits

Fei Yan glanced at Yang Lian unhurriedly, his face unfazed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

How could Yang Lian not know what Fei Yan was thinking, sneered, with murderous intent in his eyes, came to Fei Yan's side, looked at him coldly, and said, "If you want to force me to agree, you don't have to do it!" The lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Haichu and Chu Prefectures, can you open it? ”

Fei Yan slowly put down the teacup, and he was not surprised at all by Yang Lian's anger. He also knew why Yang Lian was angry, but it was obvious that Fei Yan came prepared.

Seeing Yang Lian like this, Fei Yan pretended to be surprised and said, "Yang Jiedu, what do you mean?" ”

"Fei Yan, are you challenging the bottom line of the general?" Yang Lian looked at him and clenched his fists.

Fei Yan smiled and said: "Yang Jiedu, in fact, each other takes what they need, if you agree to my conditions, all the food will be offered, and you will not take a penny." ”

"All the grain? Ben will find only stone and sand, but no food. Yang Lian said, he guessed that Fei Yan hid the grain, but Yang Lian didn't know where he hid the grain.

"Well, the food is naturally where he should be." Fei Yan said, secretly thinking that Yang Lian was so angry, but he was controlling his emotions, this degree must be mastered, otherwise it will be self-defeating.

Yang Lian said: "Your request is fundamentally rude. Now that Chuzhou itself is short of food, you still plan to let the general send troops, where will the food come from, and where will the military pay come from? Don't soldiers need to eat to fight? ”

Fei Yan laughed and said: "Yang Jiedu, as long as you promise to send troops to contain the Han soldiers of the Han State on the Eastern Front, my master said that all this batch of grain will be given to Yang Jiedu, and as for the military salary, you can also bear half of it." ”

Yang Lian narrowed his eyes, this Fei Yunshan has such a big breath, so arrogant, he is really rich. Yang Lian deliberately paced, thought about it carefully, and said, "No, frankly speaking, in order to deal with this crisis, I am already penniless." You also know that the treasury of Chuzhou has been emptied by Liu Yanzhen in the past few years, and there is not much money left, if I send troops, the military salary is insufficient, and the soldiers will inevitably mutiny, and I am afraid that I will not be able to attract Han troops. ”

Fei Yan saw that Yang Lian's tone had been relaxed, so he arched his hand and said: "Actually, this matter is also simple, there are many robbers in Huaibei, although they don't have much food, but they have been stealing for many years, and they want to hoard a lot of gold and silver. ”

"The words are good, and the first batch of military salaries will not be paid at all." Yang Lian shook his head, he didn't mind letting people say that he had no money, at this time, it was the time to fight for interests, how could Yang Lian give up?

Sure enough, Fei Yan fell silent, and before leaving, Fei Yunshan told him that he would complete the task no matter what, use the Tang army to contain the Han soldiers, create more time for the Shu soldiers, and achieve the goal of meeting with Li Shouzhen, Zhao Sixuan, Wang Jingchong and others. With the response of the Shu soldiers, if you want to come to Li Shouzhen's action, you will have a few more chances of winning, and if you can occupy Guanzhong, the strength of Shu will inevitably be greatly improved. So as to imitate Daqin, with Guanzhong, Bashu and other places, swept the six countries, and unified the world.

Fei Yan knew Yang Lian's temper, and seeing that he was very angry at this time, Fei Yan was also thinking.

At this time, Yang Lian saw that he didn't speak for a while, suddenly snorted coldly, stretched out a hand, grabbed his collar, and shouted: "Fei Yan, where is the grain hidden?" If you don't tell Ben General, believe it or not, Ben will kill you with one stab?! ”

Where is Fei Yan's opponent Yang Lian, he was caught and couldn't move. After struggling a few times, he shouted: "If you have something to say, say it well!" ”

The subordinates brought by Fei Yan heard the sound and rushed to see this scene, and they all pulled out their sharp blades and surrounded Yang Lian.

"Hehe, dare to try if the long knife in my hand is sharp?" Yang Lian said loudly.

Fei Yan knew that things couldn't be too stiff, otherwise it would be self-defeating, so he hurriedly said: "You, you, all retreat for me." ”

"Mr. Fei......" When a subordinate heard this, he couldn't believe that Fei Yan would make such a choice.

"Didn't you hear? Stand down, step down! Fei Yan said loudly, his voice a little hoarse. His life is small, and if he can't finish Fei Yunshan's affairs, then the sin will be great.

At this time, the sound of hurried footsteps also sounded, and Chen Tie arrived with a group of people. Chen Tie saw that someone was going to kill Yang Jiedu, was this worth it? He immediately commanded loudly, saying: "Come on, arrest them all, and kill those who dare to disobey with a knife." ”

Yang Lian didn't speak, because he knew that this fight could not be fought in an instant.

Fei Yan's face changed, sweat broke out on his forehead, and he said, "Didn't you hear?" Retreat, retreat! ”

The men clenched their blades and looked at each other, but no one moved, but they wondered in their hearts whether the chief manager had eaten something bad last night, so that he became delirious.

The subordinates did not move, but Chen Tie moved, he quickly led people and surrounded the cabin, this time, Fei Yan's face turned even greener, he glanced at Yang Lian, and said busily: "Yang Jiedu, this matter is not non-negotiable, I hope Yang Jiedu is calm and calm!" ”

Yang Lian smiled, this Fei Yan didn't seem to be afraid of death, but in front of interests, he seemed a little bolder.

"I really don't shed tears when I don't see the coffin." Yang Lian said lightly, and suddenly his cuffs shook, and a dagger fell into his palm.

Fei Yan's face was flushed, he was caught by Yang Lian, his breathing was a little difficult, and he had to open his mouth wide and breathe hard.

Yang Lian looked at him, calculating in his heart, he knew very well that this game with Fei Yan should be said to be psychological warfare, because he didn't want to stiffen the relationship with the Fei family, not long ago, he also told Fu Jinzhan that he planned to use Fei Yunshan to actively store grain.

"Chen Tie, you go down first." Yang Lian suddenly spoke, and at the same time let go of Fei Yan.

Fei Yan took two steps back, clutched his neck and gasped for air.

Chen Tie hesitated a little and said, "Yang Jiedu, your safety ......"

"You don't have to worry about this, with Fei Yan's skills, how can you help me?" Yang Lian waved his hand.

Chen Tie hesitated slightly, and retreated with the people, but he was still waiting outside the door, and the subordinates brought by Fei Yan glanced left and right, and they all retreated.

Yang Lian waited for Fei Yan to breathe better, snorted coldly, sat on the soft couch, and said, "What, I still want to invite you?" ”

Fei Yan didn't dare to slack off at this time, so he hurriedly walked over and said, "Yang Jiedu, the villain also knows that this incident will indeed make Yang Jiedu angry, but I have no choice but to do it." ”

"If you don't need to say anything more, you sit down and talk to me, what are you going to do next?" Yang Lian pointed to the other side of the soft couch, and at the same time took a clean teacup and poured tea for himself.

Fei Yan sat down, but only half of his ass was sitting. Yang Lian was vicious just now, which made him feel a sense of self-danger, this Yang Lian did things unexpectedly, if he offended him again, I am afraid that his life would be lost. remembered that when he was in Jinling, Yang Jiedu was enthusiastic and helpful, and the contrast with today was too great, which made Fei Yan feel a sense of panic. thought in his heart, after all, Yang Jiedu was a martial artist, and it was reasonable to be short-tempered.

Fei Yan thought for a while and said, "Yang Jiedu, this batch of grain can be supplied to Yang Jiedu for free, and a batch of grain will be delivered to Chuzhou next month." But that matter, please consider Yang Jiedu. ”

Yang Lian groaned slightly, and said: "Actually, you and the generals are just trying to contain the forces on the eastern front of the Han State and make it impossible to support the war on the western front. In this way, Ben will naturally design to make it impossible for the troops in Xuzhou, Bozhou, Suzhou and other places of the Han Kingdom to be transferred westward. What do you think? ”

The way things are handled differently, but the effect is the same. But if Yang Lian does not send troops, how can he contain the forces of the Han State? Fei Yan secretly glanced at Yang Lian and asked cautiously, "I don't know how Yang Jiedu will design?" ”

"A few days ago, the flood was rampant, and now although the water has receded, the bandits and robbers entrenched in the mountains have also run out, snatching food everywhere, and will repair a book, about Xuzhou of the Han Kingdom, Suzhou Jiedu envoy, assassination history, together to suppress bandits, what do you think?" Yang Lian asked.

Fei Yan lowered his head and thought about it carefully, this plan is not bad, although it can't make Han and Tang turn against each other, but it can also contain the Han army, and it is also possible. It's just that he was still worried in his heart, and said: "Yang Jiedu, the guards of Xuzhou and Suzhou, will they agree to suppress the bandits?" ”

"It's simple, as long as Ben will do a little tricking, these are not difficult things." Yang Lian said lightly.

Fei Yan bit his lip and thought seriously, will you agree to this plan? After thinking about it for a while, Yang Lian had already drunk two cups of tea and seemed to be in good spirits. While Fei Yan looked at Yang Lian, Yang Lian also narrowed his eyes and looked at him, with a pair of eyes that seemed to be smiling, as if he had seen through himself.

Fei Yan vaguely felt that he had fallen into Yang Lian's trap, but he could still accept the condition proposed by Yang Lian. After pondering for a moment, Fei Yan said, "Then what do you need me to do?" ”

"Two million stone of food. You can rest assured, these two million stone of grain are not a small amount, and they can be transported in batches, and in addition, Ben will not ask for nothing, Ben will plan to exchange gold and silver and refined salt with you, what do you think? Yang Lian said.

Fei Yan was a little moved, although Bashu said that there was well salt, but the quality was slightly worse. If the refined salt that Yang Lian said can be made, and it is exchanged at the same price, this is acceptable.

"Of course, the gold, silver, and refined salt needed will have to wait for the autumn harvest of the following year. Prior to this, the deposit would have been limited to 20%. Yang Lian added.

Fei Yan said: "This is okay. ”

"Since you agree, so so!" Yang Lian said.

Fei Yan nodded mechanically and said, "That's so." ”

Yang Lian stood up, stretched out his hand, patted Fei Yan's shoulder, and said, "As long as Fei and Ben will cooperate well, Ben will be indispensable in the future." In addition, Ben will have one more thing to trouble you. ”

Fei Yan was taken aback by Yang Lian, and wanted to dodge, but found that he couldn't dodge at all, but seeing that Yang Lian's attitude was a little kind, he was relieved and hurriedly said: "What does Yang Jiedu command." ”

Yang Lian smiled slightly and said: "The next few batches of grain from Bashu will inevitably pass through Jinling, Runzhou and other places, although you have the government's guidance, but I want you to stay in Runzhou for a day or two." ”

Fei Yan was very puzzled, why was this, and wanted to ask again, Yang Lian had already strode away, leaving only one sentence, asking him to transport the grain immediately. Before Fei Yan came to Chuzhou, he hid the grain more than 20 miles away from Chuzhou, and immediately took a boat south to carry the grain. In the afternoon of the next day, the grain was sent again, this time the grain was not adulterated, Yang Lian personally opened a few bags, which contained white rice grains.

With this batch of grain, Yang Lian was in a happy mood. asked people to set up a banquet to entertain Fei Yan, and at the banquet, Fei Yan was restless, wishing that the banquet would end early. Yang Lian asked Chen Tie, Lu Duoxun and others to accompany him, and took turns to drink, Fei Yan was drunk, and Yang Lian sent someone to send him back.

With the efforts of more than 100 migrant workers, it took seven or eight days to move the grain from more than a dozen merchant ships into the granary. Looking at the mountains of grain, Yang Lian was relieved and there was no difficulty in surviving the winter.

Yang Lian asked people to distribute food, but they still didn't take a penny, which made the people of Chuzhou very grateful. Yang Lian deliberately sent people to spread the news, and the people knew that Yang Lian was using their own money to buy food, and they were full of gratitude to Yang Lian.

At this time, Fei Yan had already taken a boat south, so he naturally didn't know that Yang Lian was winning the hearts of the people again.

"Sometimes, I feel like I'm mean, too." Standing in the pavilion of the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion, Yang Lian looked at the slowly falling autumn leaves and said with a smile.

Fu Jinzhan was beside him, shook his head, and said, "Although this is a kind of deception, it is also a kindness to the people. ”

Yang Lian laughed, just now it was just a joke, to win the hearts of the people, this is the most important part of the plan, only let the people of Haichu and Haichu only know Yang Lian, but not the Son of Heaven, Yang Lian can be considered successful, no matter what happens in the future, these people will only recognize Yang Lian alone.

"Young Master Yang, the letter to my father has been sent away, presumably within these two days, I will get the news." Fu Jinzhan said again.

Yang Lian narrowed his eyes and said, "I plan to take out 50,000 stone of grain and send it to Xuzhou first, what do you think?" ”

Fu Jinzhan was surprised and delighted, although the grain of 50,000 stones is not much, but it can cope with it for a while, with this batch of food, the wrinkles on his father's face must be able to stretch a little. Thinking of this, Fu Jinzhan bowed slightly and said, "Thank you Yang Gongzi for the concubine."

Yang Lian smiled: "You don't have to be like this. Before the year, I will send another 50,000 stone of grain. Thinking of 100,000 stone of grain, Xuzhou can also cope with it for a while. ”

Fu Jinzhan nodded and said, "As long as you can save your life." ”

Yang Lian didn't speak, staring at the north, thinking in his heart, and a plan rose in his heart. This plan must succeed, so that it is more likely to persuade Fu Yanqing to send troops to suppress the bandits. With Fu Yanqing's identity, he will inevitably be able to say that the envoys and assassins of Suzhou, Bozhou and other places will be able to make great use of the history of the festival, if the Tang Dynasty and the Han can jointly suppress the bandits, it will naturally have great benefits.

First, it can eliminate the robbers entrenched in the states and restore peace to the people. Once the bandits are eliminated, the people can resume production with peace of mind and increase their strength. Yang Lian can also take the opportunity to train his troops, and train an iron-blooded army from one battle after another.

Second, it is also an extremely important part, that is, to be able to fulfill the promise to Fei Yunshan and get more food. (To be continued.) )
