Outside the city, in Huangfu Hui's camp, Huangfu Jixun was announcing the matter. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Huang Fuhui, who was drinking tea slowly, listened carefully, and at the end, asked, "So, Yang Lian successfully arrested the stewards of each village and is rushing to Chuzhou City?" ”

Huangfu Jixun nodded and said, "That's right, the child watched them leave, so he hurriedly came to say goodbye." ”

"Hey, hey!" Huang Fuhui stood up and paced in the tent, although the news was provided by him and he also had some confidence in Yang Lian, but Huang Fuhui didn't expect Yang Lian to arrest the owners of the village so smoothly. Moreover, from the perspective of intelligence, Yang Lian and his party did not suffer any casualties at all, which was even more unexpected than Huang Fuhui.

The soldiers did not solve this matter bloodlessly, so that Huang Fuhui's evaluation of Yang Lian to a higher level, originally just with the mentality of giving it a try, at this moment Huang Fuhui had a little bit of the mind to take refuge in the Tang Dynasty, Yang Lian or King Qi.

Huang Fu Hui is old, and he has no ambition to dominate the world, what he hopes most now is that his family is peaceful, especially the life of his son Huangfu Jixun can be stable. However, the Northern Dynasty was turbulent, and the Jin State was taken by the Khitans in just a few years, and the newly built Han Dynasty was also in turmoil, which made Huang Fuhui have a heart of betrayal and did not want to continue to stay in the Northern Dynasty. Datang is one of the best forces in the south, and in the past few years, there has not been much war, so Huang Fuhui decided to take refuge in Datang.

However, before deciding to defect to the Tang Dynasty, Huang Fuhui felt the need to test it, so he asked his son Huangfu Jixun to secretly inform Yang Lian and provide information. If Yang Lian can successfully resolve this matter, then it proves that Datang is worth taking refuge in. If Yang Lian can't solve it, Huang Fu Hui will have to think about it again and decide the future of the Huang Fu family.

Huangfu Jixun saw that his father was silent, and said, "Father, do you really want to take refuge in the Tang Dynasty?" ”

"So it was decided." Huang Fuhui made a loud noise, thought about it, and said: "I won't be busy these days, and when Yang Lian has dealt with things, my father will go to see Yang Lian in person." ”

In Chuzhou City, Liu Zheng saw a large group of people gradually approaching, and immediately raised his vigilance. He felt a little bad in his heart, after all, Yang Lian's night attack had a low success rate, and the defenders at the head of the city told him that he didn't hear the sound of fighting outside the city at all last night, nor did he see the fire, so it can be judged that Yang Lian's action failed.

In this way, Yang Lian is not worth taking refuge in, and Liu Zheng has a trace of happiness in his heart, so that the Liu family's industry in Chuzhou can be preserved. At the same time, under the pretext that Jiedu was killed by the rebels, his uncle was able to send troops to avenge Yang Jiedu, and if he made such a great achievement, his uncle would inevitably be rewarded. It is also possible to get promoted.

At the thought of being promoted, Liu Zheng was full of joy in his heart.

However, Liu Zheng's dream was soon shattered. Under the city, Yang Lian approached and shouted: "The defenders at the head of the city open the door quickly, this will be the envoy of the Shuntian Festival!" ”

This sound was like a hammer, shattering Liu Zheng's illusion, he looked at it fixedly, and sure enough, it was Yang Lian, and Lin Renzhao, Chen Tie and others were also there. They escorted a group of people, more than 100 steps behind them, and followed a group of people, at least more than 300 people. Obviously, Yang Lian captured the leader of the rebels outside the city, followed by their subordinates.

"It worked?!" Liu Zheng had this thought in his heart, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a while.

Under the city, Chen Tie saw that Liu Zheng did not react, so he shouted a few more words. Liu Zheng's body shook, came back to his senses, and immediately asked people to open the city gate and put down the drawbridge. Yang Lian and others rushed in, more than 100 people entered the city, the city gate was closed, and the more than 300 people who followed looked at the city wall helplessly, but they were helpless. The leader was captured, and these people did not dare to make a move.

Yang Lian entered the city, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, and when he entered the city, the matter was completed.

Liu Zheng hurriedly ran down the city wall and said, "Yang Jiedu, is the matter done?" ”

"Naturally, it was done. These people, who are temporarily imprisoned in the barracks, would have had something to do. Yang Lian commanded.

"Whoa!" At this time, Liu Zheng admired Yang Lian a little more, because he felt that if this matter was handled by him, it would definitely not be possible.

Entering the barracks in the city, Yang Lian sent people to watch the captives firmly, and asked the soldiers to rest and regain their strength. And he took Lin Renzhao straight to the Assassin's Mansion, and as for Chen Tie, he went to inform Fu Jinzhan , Zhang Qili and others that the matter was done.

Assassinating the History Mansion, before Yang Lian entered the mansion, Liu Yanzhen got the news that more than 100 people, unscathed, successfully captured the leader of the anti-thieves, which made Liu Yanzhen very surprised. Especially when Liu Yanzhen knew that the connector outside the city did not send someone to support Yang Lian, but only reported some information, Liu Yanzhen had already made a decision in her heart.

can't be an enemy of Yang Lian, not to mention that Jian is in the emperor's heart, just his ability, or luck has been improved to the extreme, Liu Yanzhen can't be an enemy of Yang Lian, and there is only one result of being an enemy of him, that is, like death.

Not long after strengthening this belief, Liu Yanzhen got the news that Yang Lian had come to assassinate Shifu. Liu Yanzhen immediately stood up, called over to the soldiers and gave a few words, and then went to the gate to greet him. After waiting for a stick of incense, Yang Lian rode a war horse and hurried over.

"Yang Jiedu, Liu has been waiting for a long time." Liu Yanzhen said with a smile.

Yang Lian turned over and dismounted, arched his hand at Liu Yanzhen, and said, "Liu Tingshi knows that he is coming?" ”

Liu Yanzhen smiled and said, "Yang Jiedu successfully captured the leader of the anti-thieves outside the city, Liu already knows. Now that the leader of the anti-thieves has been captured, what is now in front of him is how to appease the anti-thieves. Liu thought, Yang Jiedu is here to borrow someone, right? ”

A hint of discoloration flashed in Yang Lian's eyes, and he had a sense of vigilance in his heart, not that what Liu Yanzhen said was wrong, but that what he said was too accurate. A person who can guess his own mind is naturally terrible, and if this person is an enemy, it is even more terrifying.

Before Yang Lian could speak, Liu Yanzhen bowed deeply at him and said, "Yang Jiedu, in the future, Liu's nephew will be taken care of by Lao Yang Jiedu." ”

This is a gesture of goodwill, how could Yang Lian not understand the meaning, so he nodded and said, "Liu Tingshi rest assured, what he will promise will naturally be done." ”

Liu Yanzhen smiled slightly and said, "Yang Jiedu, please." ”

Yang Lian shook his head and said, "That's it, there will be still things to do, and at this time, there is something to ask for." ”

"Yang Jiedu's words are serious, and now Yang Jiedu is the envoy of Shuntian Jiedu, in charge of Haichu and Chu Prefectures, if there is a sending, even if Liu is going to the soup, he will not give up." Liu Yanzhen said.

Yang Lian understood that Liu Yanzhen must have known what happened last night, and it was precisely because he knew his own means that Liu Yanzhen let go of the last glimmer of hope in her heart and no longer became an enemy of Yang Lian. smiled and was about to speak, Liu Yanzhen spoke again.

"Yang Jiedu, Liu has already notified the officials and officials in Chuzhou to come to the Assassin's Mansion to stand by for Yang Jiedu to send." Liu Yanzhen said with a smile.

A glimmer of light flashed in Yang Lian's eyes, although Liu Yanzhen was showing kindness, but at the same time reminded Yang Lian that this person should not be underestimated.

After Yang Lian thanked him, soon, the officials and officials in Chuzhou rushed to get the news, and there were as many as 100 people.

"That's not enough." Yang Lian shook his head.

Liu Yanzhen said: "Soldiers can be requisitioned from the army. ”

"This is a very good idea, in addition, Ben Jiang wants Liu Zheng to assist Ben Jiang in handling things, what do you think of Liu Tingshi?" Yang Lian is also expressing goodwill.

"Thank you, General Yang!" Liu Yanzhen was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked her.

With the help of more than 100 officials and officials, plus Yang Lian selected some soldiers from the army, things became much easier. The victims outside the city had no leader, so they had to accept Yang Lian's arrangement, and Huang Fuhui set an example very cooperatively, and there was food to eat, and the victims were happy and grateful to Yang Lian. At this time, Yang Lian naturally did not put the credit on Li Jing, but accepted it with a smile. These victims will be the backbone of Yang Lian.

During the day, the men were organized to work to clean up the silt of the Huai River and dredge the waterways to prevent the Yellow River from flooding. However, according to the news from the Han State, Liu Chengyou, the emperor of the Han State, is also actively organizing the people to dredge the waterways, and if he wants to come to Chuzhou, there should be no more trouble.

However, dredging the waterways is also inevitable, only when the water recedes, can the production of Chuzhou be restored, Yang Lian needs to deal with the affairs of Chuzhou as soon as possible, in order to rush to Haizhou, continue to help the victims.

At the same time as dredging the waterway, Yang Lian sent people to build wooden houses for the people to live in, so that the original structure of the people was broken up, instead of using the original village as a unit. Although it was resisted by some people at the beginning, in the face of the tough Yang Lian, the most important thing for the people at this time was survival, and after the resistance was fruitless, the people accepted the reality.

While the reconstruction of Chuzhou was proceeding in an orderly manner, Yang Lian sent Lin Renzhao to Haizhou with grain for disaster relief. Thanks to the experience of Chuzhou, things in Haizhou went very smoothly.

Yang Lian was busy and met with Huang Fuhui, the two discussed for a long time, Yang Lian repaired a book, and asked Huang Fuhui to take it to see King Qi. Huang Fuhui took Fei Yan's boat and went south to Jinling. Liu Yanzhen also stepped down and went to Jinling to report on his work. Liu Zhengze stayed in Chuzhou and served as a lieutenant. Yang Lian promised that if he made military achievements, he would naturally be vigorously promoted.

Time passed quickly, a month and a half passed in a blink of an eye, and the weather was getting cooler, but fortunately the houses were built, and the people did not have to suffer from the cold in their tents.

The construction of Chuzhou is in full swing, and the same is true of Haizhou, although things are progressing quite smoothly, but the consumption of grain is extremely large, and there is not much left of the 500,000 stone grain that Yang Lian brought from Jinling. Although Chuzhou has an official warehouse, Yang Lian will not use it unless it is absolutely necessary, otherwise he will be attacked by political enemies, such as Li Hongji, Sun Sheng and others, who are all looking for Yang Lian's flaws, waiting for an opportunity to attack and defeat Yang Lian.

This time was very busy, Yang Lian felt that he didn't have a good rest, on this day, falling asleep in the yard, Fu Jinzhan asked the villain to make bird's nest, and brought it over to Yang Lian to make up for his body. Seeing that Yang Lian was asleep, Fu Jinzhan hesitated for a moment and waited on the side.

Yang Lian slept for two hours, then woke up, found that the sky was already dark, couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, it seems that this period of time is indeed too hard, but the fatigue is worth it, all the people did not starve to death, and the division of land is also in full swing.

Speaking of which, Yang Lian wants to thank Liu Yanzhen, it was his enclosure that made ordinary people lose their land, so that Yang Lian had enough land to distribute to the people. Although the landlords of Chuzhou held a considerable amount of land, Yang Lian did not move their minds at all, after all, it was unwise.

Yang Lian woke up and saw Fu Jinzhan beside him, so he smiled and said, "When did you come, don't wake me up." ”

"There's nothing to do, and I can't bear to see you sleeping soundly." Fu Jinzhan smiled, opened the food box, reached out and touched it, the bird's nest was still hot, and served a bowl for Yang Lian.

"Bird's nest?" Yang Lian glanced at it and said with a smile.

Fu Jinzhan nodded and said, "You have been busy during this time, make up for your body." ”

"You drink some too." Yang Lian said, pushing the bowl to Fu Jinzhan . I quickly filled a bowl of it myself.

Fu Jinzhan shook her head, a little sweet in her heart.

Yang Lian drank a bowl and said with a smile: "It tastes good." Seeing that Fu Jinzhan didn't drink it, he said, "Why don't you drink it?" ”

Fu Jinzhan pursed her lips, sighed, and said, "Young Master Yang, although this bird's nest is delicious, I can't drink it." ”

"Why?" When Yang Lian said this, he suddenly reacted and said, "Miss Fu, do you mean Xuzhou?" ”

"The shortage of grain in Xuzhou is already very serious, and the emperor of the Han Kingdom has no food to allocate, so the situation in Xuzhou is really very difficult." Fu Jinzhan said.

Yang Lian nodded, this time the flood was very serious, and the Han Kingdom had just been established, the country was in ruins, and there was no economic strength like the Tang Dynasty.

Yang Lian can also see the clues from Lin Renzhao's letters, and it is precisely because of this that the grain of 500,000 stones was exhausted in just over a month. Thinking of food, Yang Lian put down the dishes and chopsticks and sighed slightly.

Fu Jinzhan shook his head and said, "Although there is a shortage of food in Xuzhou, my father can barely support it, but there are more people dying every day." But the concubine is more worried about her sister. ”

Yang Lian's eyebrows twisted, Fu Ming replaced Fu Jinzhan to marry Li Chongxun, the son of Li Shouzhen, which was also kind to Yang Lian. Yang Lian saw Fu Jinzhan say this, suddenly remembered something, blurted out, and asked, "Miss Fu, isn't Li Shouzhen rebelling?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Fu Jinzhan's face changed slightly, and he said, "You, how do you know?" ”

When Yang Lian heard this, he was even more sure in his heart, and couldn't help shaking his head and said, "I didn't expect Li Shouzhen to really rebel." ”

Fu Jinzhan glanced at Yang Lian in surprise, I don't know why he is so sure? But if there was a bad question, I had to shake my head and say: "Speaking of which, Li Shouzhen's rebellion actually has something to do with Fu Ming." ”

"Oh? What does it matter? Yang Lian asked.

Fu Jinzhan glanced left and right, and said: "This is my father's secret report, saying that before Li Shouzhen's rebellion, a monk went to the river and accidentally saw Fu Ming, saying that she had the posture of an emperor and queen. Before he rebelled, he had sent someone to secretly inform his father, thinking that his father knew like this. ”

Yang Lian touched his chin, and suddenly felt that there were things that he couldn't hide. (To be continued.) )
