Chapter 1075: Yang Hong's Visit (2)
According to Zhao Feng's understanding, Li Changzhi came over last month, and although Yangzhou was short of food, he only needed to cope with it for a month.
One million stone of grain is enough for two million people to eat for a month.
What's more, with the current situation in Yangzhou, the land of Jiangdong is now in the hands of the Sun family.
With the territory currently occupied by Yuan Shu, it is unknown whether there are a million people.
In other words, 500,000 stone grains should be able to solve Yuan Shu's troubles.
Of course, this is also a rhetoric.
Yang Hong waved at Zhao Feng: "King Zhao is reasonable!" ”
Zhao Feng nodded: "Yang Shangshu came here on purpose, is there anything else important?" ”
Yang Hong waved at Zhao Feng: "Return to King Zhao!" ”
"There is indeed one thing, and I hope that King Zhao will approve it."
Zhao Feng said bluntly: "Let's hear it!" ”
Yang Hongnuo said: "Your Majesty has found out the news, saying that the Jiangdong Sun family has secretly appointed Sun Quan to succeed to the throne. ”
"Lujiang Taishou Li Shu openly rebelled, Sun Wei tried to seize power within the Sun family, Danyang Taishou Sun Yi and the clan's important minister Sun He were killed, and tens of thousands of Shanyue in Yuzhang, Huiji and other places also waited for an opportunity to make trouble."
"On this occasion, Your Majesty wants to go out of Jiangdong!"
Zhao Feng smiled: "Do you need my permission for this kind of thing?" ”
"Is Yang Shangshu old and confused!"
Yang Hong stopped: "The matter of sending troops is decided by His Majesty. ”
"Your Majesty means that although Yangzhou has begun to harvest spring grain one after another, these grain taxes are not enough for the army to go on the expedition."
"I hope that King Zhao can help five million stone grains!"
Zhao Feng frowned: "Five million stones? ”
"How do I get it?"
"Even if you try your best, you can only get together a maximum of two million stone grains."
Yang Hong waved at Zhao Feng: "Then two million stone grain!" ”
"With two million stone of grain, we can also cope with the war in the early stage!"
Zhao Feng was speechless for a while, feeling like he was being pitted.
From this feeling, Zhao Feng thought that even if he said that he could only make up one million stone of grain, Yang Hong would gladly agree!
Although Zhao Feng is not at odds in his heart, with his current status and status, he obviously can't go back on what he says.
What's more, if Yuan Shu really wants to take advantage of this opportunity to send troops to Jiangdong, it will be quite beneficial to Zhao Feng.
He groaned for a moment and pretended to be embarrassed: "It's okay! ”
"Two million stone grains is not a small amount for me."
"When the northern land is finished, the winter wheat is harvested, and the taxes are collected, I am collecting two million stone grain to hand over to Your Majesty!"
Yang Hong waved at Zhao Feng: "Then thank you King Zhao!" ”
"However, in order for the war to start smoothly, I hope that King Zhao can send grain to Shouchun as soon as possible."
Zhao Feng thought for a moment: "It's just that I can still think of a way to deliver food." ”
"But even if we have all the food, our food team will not be able to pass through the defense line of Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan brothers."
"In this way, how can we transport grain to Shouchun?"
"I don't know if Yang Shangshu has a way?"
Yang Hong smiled: "This matter is easy to do. ”
"After I go back, I can persuade Your Majesty to order General Ji, who was originally stationed in Shouchun, to lead an army of 30,000 to defend Shouchun and send them to attack Guangling County and Xiapi County."
"Finally, we gathered troops with King Zhao in Donghai County, and together we surrounded and suppressed the 50,000 troops of Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan brothers!"
Then the conversation changed: "It's just that Shouchun is the imperial capital of the Son of Heaven, and it is easy to mobilize the garrison army, but I am afraid that there will be some turmoil in Shouchun." ”
"Your Majesty needs to release some benefits to appease Shouchun's family and Haoqiang."
"In addition, the mobilization of General Ji's army also requires a lot of military rations."
"I hope that King Zhao can scrape together another million stones of grain and give His Majesty the heart of Shouchun to buy the hearts of the people!"
After Zhao Feng heard this, he was stunned for a moment.
It turned out that Yang Hong had this idea.
This move not only helped Yuan Shu to send troops to Jiangdong, but also allowed Yuan Shu to occupy Guangling County and Xiapi County.
After all, Liu Biao's idea of preserving his strength, even Zhao Feng felt it, and Yuan Shu, who was the opponent, must be very clear.
So in this case, Liu Biao will definitely not interfere.
As far as Yuan Shu is concerned, the land of Jiangdong conquered by Sun Ce was originally the Yangzhou of Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu had to recover the land of Jiangdong no matter what.
To put it simply, even if Zhao Feng didn't help Yuan Shu with food, Yuan Shu would inevitably have to think of making up food to attack Jiangdong.
It would be even better if you could get food support from Zhao Feng's side!
So as soon as Zhao Feng said two million stone grains, Yang Hong immediately agreed, for fear that Zhao Feng would return.
As for Guangling County and Xiapi County, it is completely taking advantage of Zhao Feng.
According to Zhao Feng, Ji Ling's army, even if it converged with Zhao Feng's army in Donghai County and besieged Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan's army together, it would definitely not be able to contribute.
After all, whether Donghai County is returned to Zhao Feng or Yuan Shu in the end, Zhao Feng and Yuan Shu's governance will officially border.
Yuan Shu was suspected of cheating Zhao Feng in this matter, so he definitely didn't want to border Zhao Feng so soon.
There is an army of Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan, isolating Zhao Feng and Yuan Shu, it is perfect!
Of course, the premise is that these plans of Yuan Shu can be fully realized.
Zhao Feng knew Yang Hong's plan and shook his head: "I have done my best to be able to make up two million stone grains. ”
"After all, I just won the land of Zuo Fengyi, Hongnong County, Henan Yin, Dong County, Taishan County, and Langya County, and I also need a lot of food to appease the people."
"Otherwise, don't talk about collecting food taxes in the coming year, I'm afraid we will need additional subsidies!"
Of course, what Zhao Feng said was just rhetoric.
It's clear that you don't want to give!
I saw that Yang Hong was thinking about how to deal with it.
Zhao Feng continued: "That's it. ”
"Xiahoudun deployed defense lines in Lanling, Xiangben, and Tanxian, and Xiahouyuan arranged defense lines in Zhuqi, Ganyu, and Licheng."
"I can let the grain team go from Nancheng in Taishan County to Hexiang, Changxi, and Yinping in Donghai County."
"Your Majesty only needs to arrange a general at will, lead the troops to set up a defensive line in Chengxian, and receive grain in Yinping, and that's it!"
"Otherwise, if Xiahoudun sends troops to rob two million stone of grain, it will be cheap Cao Cao."
What Zhao Feng meant by this was that I was at most responsible for letting the grain team bypass Xiahoudun's defense.
The rest of the matter is up to you.
If you don't send troops to meet you and the food is taken away, then it doesn't matter to me.
Even, even if I don't send someone to bring food over, and directly say that the grain has been robbed, you can't say anything.
So, if you want to get two million stone of grain, you have to send troops to meet the food team!
Yang Hong pondered for a long time, and waved at Zhao Feng: "Since this is the case, then thank you King Zhao!" ”
"When I go back, I will definitely persuade Your Majesty to do what has just been discussed."
After speaking, he turned around and withdrew from the Chinese army's big tent.
