The central capital is south of Fengyang City, which is different from the east of the prosperous market. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The people who can live here have a noble status, standing on the street and throwing a brick casually, no matter how big or small, it must be an official.

The luxurious mansion of Fengyang Prefect Yan Rongxuan is located at the corner of the most obvious Nancheng street, which can be described as an excellent location for feng shui.

In the extravagantly decorated bedroom of the house, the charcoal fire is flourishing at this time, in order to dispel the coolness of the first month that has not yet dissipated, the prefect's face is full of comfort, and he lies on his back on the soft knees of the newly accepted concubine to take a nap.

Sitting on the side and carefully serving the prefect's concubine, she looked no more than fifteen years old.

She is dressed in a full-shoulder persimmon-shaped Xiangfeng shirt, with fair and moving skin, eyebrows like flowers, and she is a rare beauty.

Suddenly, a rush of footsteps broke the original calm, and the person who came was Lu Liang, a thousand households of the guard.

Lu Liang knew very well that the prefect hated the person who disturbed his rest the most, but everything was in power, and if such a big thing happened, he naturally couldn't wait for Yan Rongxuan to wake up before reporting it.

Anxious, Lu Liang kicked over the servant who was about to block him from entering, trotted all the way into the bedroom with a knife, and suddenly frightened the beautiful concubine.

"What's the panic, the sky can't fall!" The prefect Yan Rongxuan reprimanded.

Yan Rongxuan glared at Lu Liang fiercely, slowly got up with the support of the concubine, and forcibly pressed the displeasure in his heart.

For several days in a row, this delicate concubine was waiting by her side, and she was already sleep-deprived, but she didn't expect that the cleanliness of the original nap was disturbed.

However, this Lu Liang, as a thousand households in the guard, is also his confidant, and he usually does things very safely, and there must be something big happening when he rushes in so recklessly today.

"It's a big deal, Lord Prefect," Lu Liang said eagerly, "Our department is located in the west of the city, and the camp where grain and grass are hoarded was occupied by Zhang Tanghuai's troops not long ago!" ”

"What, what a guts!"

Hearing Qianhu Lu Liang's words, Yan Rongxuan was suddenly shocked.

Although he had already guessed that Zhang Tanghuai would make a move in the near future, there were only dozens of people under him, and he really couldn't make any big waves.

There was no other way than to escape, negotiate, and surrender, and some people advised Yan Rongxuan that Zhang Tanghuai should be eliminated immediately, lest he take the first step to defect to Zhang Xianzhong, the Kou army dozens of miles away from the city.

Yan Rongxuan naturally scoffed at this ridiculous statement, and at present, Zhang Xianzhong is the person who wants to kill Zhang Tanghuai the most.

It's just that he never thought that Zhang Xianzhong led dozens of people under his command to control the entire Fengyang City army's grain and grass hoarding place.

It can be said that grain and grass are one of the keys to maintaining the morale of an army.

Some people may ask that the trade in Fengyang, the capital of China, is developed, there are many merchants coming and going, and the grain and grass for trading should be sufficient, so there is really no need to be so nervous about Zhang Tanghuai's control of the granary.

That's true, but it's not entirely true.

The grain in the central capital is indeed sufficient, but most of the grain and grass are in the hands of the relatives of the gentry and the relatives of the emperor.

These people are in high positions of power, and there is a backstage of the real power faction in the DPRK and China, and they completely do not pay taxes at the top and ignore officials at the bottom.

Yan Rongxuan is the prefect of Fengyang, but he is a high-ranking local official, but it is not worth mentioning to them at all, and he is not even qualified to enter the mansion.

These powerful factions not only annexed and forcibly expropriated land, but also controlled the market grain trade, and hoarded large quantities of grain at home, preferring mold and rot to relieve the people.

So even if Yan Rongxuan goes out in person, don't want to ask for a grain of grain, you can only buy it at the market price if you want food.

Moreover, the relatives of these Beijing officials are well-informed, and this kind of news cannot be concealed at all.

Once they learned that the officers and soldiers had lost all their grain and grass, they would inevitably hoard futures and raise prices to amass wealth, and they would not care whether it was the common people or the officers and soldiers who starved to death.

At that time, I am afraid that the money that Yan Rongxuan had just sent to appease the soldiers would not be enough to buy one or two bags of rice, which would inevitably cause a mutiny.

Therefore, Yan Rongxuan was afraid that Zhang Tanghuai would jump off the wall in a hurry and burn the stolen grain and grass.

It didn't matter whether Zhang Tanghuai and the dozens of battalion soldiers lived or died, but Yan Rongxuan couldn't afford to lose the hoarded grain and grass.

"Lu Qianhu, I remember that I allocated three hundred soldiers to guard the granary, can Zhang Tanghuai's soldiers be able to do ten things!"

Yan Rongxuan suddenly realized this and glared angrily at Lu Liang.

Lu Liang was speechless for a while, he really didn't have the face and face to explain that the occupied granary was not attacked head-on.

It turned out that an hour ago, Zhang Tanghuai led dozens of people to the granary with a swagger according to Han Yu's strategy, and pretended to be here to get grain with forged documents.

The guards guarding the granary thought that the city was very safe, and with the fact that the Kou army had been cleared, there was really no need to be tense.

It's just that I didn't expect that the dozens of people who came in turned into fierce bandits in an instant, and suddenly drew their blades and rushed into the barracks.

The guards who were gambling and drinking were completely stunned by Zhang Tanghuai and the others who rushed in in an instant, and before they could react, the sharp blades were already on their necks.

The three hundred guards were taken prisoner in a daze, imprisoned in an abandoned barn, and kept in the company of a group of squeaky rats.

Of course, Lu Liang would not have said what happened to him, and in the face of the prefect's questioning, he just looked at his nose and his nose and his heart.

Yan Rongxuan also knew that it was useless to talk more, so he got up and dressed under the service of the concubine and maid, and suddenly rushed to Lu Liang, who was restless, and ordered: "Lu Qianhu, this official ordered you to order all the soldiers and horses, prepare more bows and crossbows, and follow me to the granary later, you immediately send someone to arrest Zhang Tanghuai's relatives to come over, if the negotiation fails..."

"Xia Guan understands that he will never dare to disappoint the adults!"

Qianhu Lu Liang bowed and hurriedly retreated, Yan Rongxuan's order was very clear.

If you can talk about it, you will be killed on the spot if you talk about it, and Zhang Tanghuai is a well-known filial son, if he takes his father hostage, I believe Zhang Tanghuai will definitely give in.

Just when the prefect Yan Rongxuan led the five hundred guards of Qianhu Lu Liang to rush towards the granary.

Zhang Tanghuai, the new battalion commander who occupies the granary, is personally commanding and supervising the fortifications at the main gate of the granary.

At the beginning, Han Yu proposed that if he wanted to make Yan Rongxuan, the prefect who held the guards, jealous, the only way was to control the grain and grass, so as to have a chance to make a turnaround.

Although this violates Zhang Tanghuai's principle of being a man, it is also a last resort for self-preservation.

According to Han Yu's plan, the control of the grain storage granary of the Fengyang army and the capture of the 300 guards were unexpectedly smooth.

It's just that with less than forty people around him, it is almost impossible to guard the main gate of this granary, which is not in danger.

But the matter has come to this, there is no way back, the first time to occupy the granary, Zhang Tanghuai personally went into battle, leading a group of soldiers to consolidate the dispensable granary fortifications.

"Brother Zhang, what are you doing?"

Han Yu, who had come back from a circle in the depths of the granary, looked at the soldiers who were reinforcing the main gate of the granary, and asked with a surprised face.

"Brother Han, you don't know the prefect Yan Rongxuan, he is not a good type!" Zhang Tanghuai explained to Han Yu seriously.

"So we will never negotiate willingly, with more than 30 people including me, if we want to resist ten times the enemy, we can only strengthen the fortifications as soon as possible!"

Looking at Zhang Tanghuai, who was full of seriousness, Han Yu couldn't cry or laugh for a while.

Han Yu smiled heartily, pointed to the granary behind him and said, "Brother Zhang, Brother Fool has never said that he wants to defend this place, and he also does not plan to negotiate with the prefect. ”

"Then we..."

Zhang Tanghuai looked surprised, originally thought that Han Yu planned to threaten Yan Rongxuan with grain and grass in exchange for survival, but now it seems that this is not the case at all.

"Of course, it was transported away, and those captured guards can be returned to the prefect."

"Captain Wang, hard work!" Han Yu turned his head to look at Captain Wang on the side, and said respectfully with his fists clenched.

"Little Brother Han is polite, I'll do it!"

Captain Wang grinned, his respect for Han Yu was very useful, and he immediately led people to pull the carriage and go to the granary to load grain.
