Yang Lian couldn't help but nod when she heard Fu Jinzhan say what she had mastered. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Yang Lian knew that Li Shouzhen would inevitably rebel, but he didn't know when. Since he sent someone to contact Fu Yanqing, presumably this time will be in the near future.

Li Shouzhen's interaction with Fu Yanqing was within one or two months, considering the time lag, Li Shouzhen is likely to have rebelled. Li Shouzhen occupies the middle of the river, and there are Zhao Sijuan, Wang Jingchong and others in the pass, among which Zhao Sihuan is the envoy of the Yongxing Festival, controlling Tongguan, if he can hold Tongguan, this battle will inevitably take a long time.

The war in the north has both advantages and disadvantages, and what Yang Lian is worried about is that Guo Wei may be in control of the army. Under the influence of Yang Lian, the Han Emperor Liu Chengyou was slightly dissatisfied with Guo Wei, and now in the Han court, the people who hold power are Su Fengji, Shi Hongzhao and others, Su Fengji is mainly in government affairs, and Shi Hongzhao is in charge of military power.

Guo Wei is still in Yedu, but he is a festival envoy, as long as Liu Chengyou does not reuse Guo Wei and does not provoke Guo Wei, Guo Wei should not rebel. Yang Lian chatted with Fu Jinzhan for a few words, then hurriedly returned to the study, repaired a book, and once again warned Liu Chengyou that Guo Wei should not be reused or provoked.

Although the rebellion in the river was expected, Yang Lian didn't want the Han Kingdom to successfully quell the rebellion, so after thinking about it, he called Chen Tie and told him to send two brothers to Hezhong to find out the news.

As the weather gets cooler, the food in Chuzhou is also stretched, which makes Yang Lian a little worried, Fei Yan has left a month ago and rushed to Bashu to raise food, calculate the time, he should have arrived in Bashu a long time ago, and I don't know how the food was prepared on Feiyun Mountain.

Dai Li, no, it should be Lu Duoxun, who has already chosen to take refuge in Yang Lian. Lu Duosun was originally from Hanoi, when he visited relatives in Xuzhou, he was kidnapped by robbers, and the owner of the cottage saw that Lu Duosun was a scholar, so he left his life and let him manage personnel. Through Lu Duoxun's introduction, Yang Lian realized that Yin Yu was not the real master of the cottage. Yin Yu was ordered to go south in order to test Chuzhou and seize grain to meet the needs of the cottage.

However, Lu Duosun doesn't know much about things, the cottage is ostensibly Yin Yu handling things, and he hasn't seen the real big boss, but he guessed some through Yin Yu's words. Yang Lian saw that Lu Duosun did not know much, so he did not investigate in detail.

Seeing that Lu Duosun was full of poetry and books, he invited him to stay. After thinking about it, Lu Duosun decided to stay in Chuzhou, and Yang Lian asked him to help deal with government affairs, which was also well organized, which saved Yang Lian a lot of trouble.

These days, Yang Lian often goes out to inspect, and sometimes he does things in person and mingles with the people. There are no people who have settled in Chuzhou who do not know Yang Lian. Inspired by Yang Lian's kindness, it is said that many people have invited people to carve Yang Lian's wooden statue and often worship them. Yang Lian knew about this, but just shook his head and did not express an opinion. However, Chen Tie felt that this was inappropriate and wanted to stop it, but was blocked by Yang Lian.

After all, the people have no malicious intentions, just like worshipping the Buddha, if they stop it, it will be a little inappropriate. Fu Jinzhan felt that in this way, the people were thinking of Yang Lian's kindness, and I am afraid that in their minds, there was only Yang Lian, and no one else.

However, Yang Lian was worried about the food, and asked Lu Duoxun almost every day if there was any news of Fei Yan. The 500,000 stone grain given by Li Jing, the Son of Heaven, has been eaten, and the rest is the grain that Yang Lian bought from Jiangnan, but with Yang Lian's large-scale purchase, the grain price in the south of the Yangtze River has risen, and there are extremely sensitive businessmen who have seized the opportunity to make a fortune and have transported grain to the north. It's just that the price they offered made Yang Lian unacceptable.

The high price is on the one hand, and on the other hand, Yang Lian's money has almost run out. Although Chuzhou also has a treasury, Yang Lian can't go too far when he takes Liu Yanzhen's land, so as not to cause Liu Yanzhen's strong dissatisfaction. Therefore, Yang Lian allowed Liu Yanzhen to take part of the money in exchange.

At the beginning of October, Yang Lian got the news that Li Shouzhen really rebelled, and Zhao Siwan, Wang Jingchong and others also responded with troops, and it is said that the Great Shu Kingdom, which occupied Bashu, was also ready to move and had the idea of sending troops. The fight in Guanzhong is in full swing, which is in line with Yang Lian's interests. However, Fu Jinzhan was quite worried, and this matter was afraid that his father would be implicated.

However, it is obvious that although Fu Yanqing is only a martial artist, he is not an ordinary person who can stand for a long time, he is still in Xuzhou, thinking that it is a war in Guanzhong, and Liu Chengyou does not dare to make enemies everywhere and force Fu Yanqing to rebel.

Just when the grain was about to be warned, Fei Yan led a caravan composed of fifteen merchant ships and arrived in Chuzhou, this batch of grain is really life-saving food for Chuzhou, Yang Lian immediately organized people to distribute food, and at the same time asked Chen Tie to prepare a batch of grain and send it to Haizhou, Lin Renzhao must also be short of food, and the shortage of food should be more serious than that of Chuzhou.

Watching the bags of grain being transported down from the merchant ship, Yang Lian breathed a sigh of relief, arched his hand towards Fei Yan, and said, "This time the people of Chuzhou were saved, all of which were the credit of Fei Gongzi. ”

Fei Yan smiled and said: "Yang Jiedu's words are serious, before the villain leaves, the master told him that this batch of grain must be sent to Yang Jiedu's hands, and now that he is fortunate not to be dishonored, the villain is relieved." ”

"Dai Ben will thank Fei Gongzi!" Yang Lian smiled.

Fei Yan looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, thought about it, arched his hand towards Yang Lian, and said, "Yang Jiedu, take a step to speak." ”

Yang Lian glanced at him in surprise, what is so mysterious? But after inheriting Fei Yunshan's favor, this face still has to be given. He nodded, and the two of them talked about things in a secluded place on the edge of the dock.

Fei Yan arched his hand and said, "Yang Jiedu, don't hide it, my son-in-law is not an ordinary person. ”

"Hmm!" Yang Lian nodded and motioned for him to continue.

As soon as Fei Yan saw it, he knew that he was a little more sure of this matter, so he carefully explained the reasons for the matter one by one.

Yang Lian couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows when he heard this, although he had long felt that Fei Yunshan was different from ordinary businessmen, but Yang Lian couldn't imagine that this Fei Yunshan was actually a relative of the emperor. Fei Yunshan's sister is the most favored concubine of Meng Chang, the son of heaven of the Great Shu Kingdom, Mrs. Hua Rui.

Fei Yunshan ostensibly came to Jinling to do business, but in fact he came to find out the news. As early as half a year ago, Li Shouzhen had an objection, he sent people into Shu, contacted Meng Chang, the son of Shu, and asked Shu to send troops, if the Han State was destroyed, then Li Shouzhen was willing to learn from Shi Jingjiao and be the emperor, and at the same time cut the Guanzhong area to the Great Shu State.

When Meng Chang heard this, he was immediately moved, but the Central Plains Imperial Court has always been the best in the world and its strength is strong. Meng Chang's father, Meng Zhixiang, was a courtier of the Later Tang Dynasty, and in his heart, he had a feeling of inferiority. In the fear of the Central Plains Imperial Court, although Meng Chang was tempted, he was a little afraid.

Meng Chang's thoughts were known by the minister, and some people said, saying that the Han State has a vast territory, and it is not a country that can be destroyed by the Great Shu State, if it can unite the Tang Dynasty, and then with the help of Li Shouzhen and others, one east and one west, it will inevitably make the Han Dynasty suffer from the enemy, and if the Great Shu can occupy Guanzhong, then the process of unifying the world will be one step further.

The responsibility of liaising with the Tang Dynasty fell on Fei Yunshan's head, and Yang Lian had a good relationship with Li Jingsui, the younger brother of the Tang Emperor, so Fei Yunshan pressed all the treasures on Yang Lian. Fei Yan said that he could do without a penny for these grains, but there was one condition, that is, Yang Lian sent troops to attack Xuzhou, Suzhou and other places in the Han State to contain the forces of the Han State. In this way, the forces invested by the Han State in Guanzhong will inevitably be greatly reduced, which will also increase the possibility of victory between Shu and Li Shouzhen and others.

As soon as Fei Yan's request was raised, Yang Lian fell into deep thought. The relationship with the Han State Yang Lian cannot be destroyed, otherwise it is not in the interests of Yang Lian, and now he needs a relatively peaceful time for him to resettle the displaced people, resume production, and accumulate strength. However, he has fallen into a food shortage, and he needs this batch of grain very much.

It's a dilemma, and no matter how you choose, there are pros and cons. Yang Lian made an excuse, said that he wanted to think about it, and left.

Fei Yan was not in a hurry, and let Yang Lian eat it. However, he told Yang Lian that if he wanted to get more food, it would depend on how Yang Lian chose this time. Even if Yang Lian didn't give money to this batch of grain, Fei Yan would admit it.

Yang Lian put things simply, Chen Tie was very excited, since Fei Yan said so, what can he do if this batch of grain is robbed? Chen Tie resolutely advocated robbing this batch of grain.

Lu Duosun was resolutely opposed and it was necessary to maintain good relations with Dashu. Even if the batch of grain sent by Fei Yan is enough for the people of Haichu and Chu Prefectures to survive the winter, what about the New Year? After the new year, it is impossible for winter wheat to ripen, and if the hundreds of thousands of people in Haichu and Haichu prefectures are starved to death, this period of hard work will be in vain.

Yang Lian didn't want to see such a result. So he had to insist on taking this batch of grain. Several people deliberated for a while, but never found a better way. At dusk, Lu Duosun and Chen Tie dispersed. Yang Lian returned to the backyard with a worried look.

When Fu Jinzhan saw him like this, he asked with concern: "Young Master Yang, I heard that Fei Yan has already sent food, why are you still frowning?" ”

Yang Lian knew that Fu Jinzhan had always had some ideas, so he told the matter, and Fu Jinzhan also shook his head, this matter is a little tricky.

"Young Master Yang, it's better to do this, the concubine cultivates a book, and asks my father to send some gold and silver."

"Fu Jiedu is also nervous over there, don't do this." Yang Lian shook his head, Xuzhou was more seriously affected than Chuzhou, and there was a greater shortage of food.

Fu Jinzhan smiled and said: "Young Master Yang, Xuzhou is also short of grain, so let Xuzhou pay a sum of money to buy grain from Fei Yan, part of it to meet the needs of Xuzhou, and part of it to stay in Chuzhou." In this way, it not only satisfies the needs of both sides for food, but also solves the problem of Fei Yan. Fu Jinzhan also knew that it was impossible for Yang Lian to break the alliance with the Han State, at least for now, he would definitely not be able to tear up the alliance.

Yang Lian listened to Fu Jinzhan's words, pondered in a low voice, shook his head, and said, "Fei Yan's grain, I want to decide." Moreover, I decided not to spend a penny. ”

Fu Jinzhan widened his eyes and said: "No, Bashu has always been the country of abundance, if you can establish a good relationship with Dashu, you can buy food from Dashu for future needs." Otherwise, it will take at least four or five years to raise enough food. ”

Yang Lian understood what Fu Jinzhan meant, after all, his purpose was not pure, Haichu and Haichu were his foundation, so he naturally needed time. In the shortest possible time, gathering the hearts of the people and accumulating enough food is Yang Lian's most important task. However, the grain production of Haichu and Chu is relatively low, and there will be no grain in the coming year, so the relationship with the Great Shu State is the most important link. If you buy a large amount of grain from Shu, you can save a lot of time.

Yang Lian was moved in his heart, but he smiled and said, "I already have an idea about this matter." Although it does not need to pay for the festival, it needs to be made by the festival. If it happens, I will send forty percent of the food, what do you think? ”

Fu Jinzhan was stunned for a moment and said, "What, you really have an idea?" ”

"It's really there, don't worry, I'm not forcibly taking Fei Yan's food." Yang Lian said.

Fu Jinzhan put her mind at ease, and she didn't want Yang Lian to do it.

While the two were talking, Lu Duoxun hurriedly walked in, and happened to see Yang Lian grabbing Fu Jinzhan's hand, and immediately felt very embarrassed, and couldn't help coughing twice.

Yang Lian heard the voice, let go of his hand, and said, "Master Lu, do you have something?" ”

Fu Jinzhan stood up, bowed slightly, and left.

Lu Duoxun walked over quickly and said in a low voice, "Yang Jiedu, something is wrong. I found out just now that most of the food brought by Fei Yan was stone sand. ”

"What?!" Yang Lian was taken aback, immediately stood up, and hurried towards the dock.

At the docks, countless sacks were piled up, and the ground was sprinkled with rice grains and mud. Yang Lian snatched the long knife from Chen Tie's hand and stabbed it fiercely towards the sack.

"Wow!" The grain of the white flowers flowed out.

Yang Lian frowned, walked quickly to the other side, the long knife stabbed at the sack again, and it looked like about two or three inches in it, Yang Lian stirred it vigorously, and when he pulled it out again, he saw that it was not a grain of rice with white flowers, but stone sand.

Yang Lian didn't say a word, and poked two or three more sacks, which were still full of stone sand.

Chen Tie came up to say goodbye and said, "Yang Jiedu, there are about 500 sacks that have been moved down from the ship, only a very small part of them are filled with grain, and the rest are all stone and sand. ”

Yang Lian frowned and asked, "Where is Fei Yan?" ”

Chen Tie pointed to the largest merchant ship and said, "I'm drinking tea on the ship." ”

"Hmph, he still has the heart to drink tea? Ben would have liked to see what he was going to do! Yang Lian snorted coldly, threw down the long knife, got on the boat violently, and ran towards Fei Yan.

Along the way, the boatman saw Yang Lian's vigorous momentum, looking like he was going to kill, he lowered his head and dodged one after another, for fear of touching the moldy head.

Yang Lian walked quickly to Fei Yan's cabin, saw that the door was closed, snorted coldly, raised his foot and kicked towards the door. After a loud bang, Yang Lian kicked the door with a mighty kick. glanced at the room, and saw Fei Yan drinking tea leisurely, and there were two maids serving beside him.

Yang Lian strode in and shouted, "Fei Yan, what do you mean by this?" (To be continued.) )
