Chapter 168: Switch
The Jing family is a family driven by interests, the Jing family supported the Liu family during the Han Dynasty, and the Jing family also supported Dong Zhuo after Dong Zhuo gained power.
But they won't support Dong Zhuo, so there are very few families like the Jing family, with the relationship between Zhang Xiang and Dong Zhuo now, maybe they can't let Dong Zhuo move the Jing family, but it's okay to find some trouble.
Zhang Xiang wrote a letter to Dong Zhuo in the name of Dong Bai, in order to make some trouble for the Jing family, Dong Zhuo saw this letter, but he didn't care, and handed it over to Li Ru.
Li Ru just smiled when he read the letter, the Jingjing family has nothing to do with him, and the Jing family's support for Dong Zhuo is also dispensable, and Li Ru doesn't attach much importance to such a family.
The wall grass like the Jing family is not comparable with Zhang Xiang at all, Li Ru is willing to give Zhang Xiang a favor, and Li Ru knows that Zhang Xiang's Jingjia must have something to do with Liu Yu.
The more chaos outside is also good for Dong Zhuo, Li Ru handed over this matter to Jia Xu, Jia Xu has a good impression of Zhang Xiang, so Jia Xu will not be soft on the Jing family, and Jia Xu has always been very ruthless.
If you don't make a move, you will make a killing move, and directly on the grounds of collecting grain and grass, you will ruthlessly pit the Jing family, the Jing family is in Yongzhou, which is just within Dong Zhuo's sphere of influence, and can only endure this kind of thing.
And Jia Xu's shot was more than this time, and in the end, the Jing family couldn't stand it anymore and brought this matter to Dong Zhuo, but how could Dong Zhuo protect the Jing family? After all, he is the one who benefits in the end.
In the end, he just reprimanded Jia Xu, and the matter was over, Jia Xu temporarily restrained himself, and when Zhang Xiang heard the news, he also laughed at this Jia Xu is really a wonderful person.
Zhang Xiang became more and more interested in Jia Xu, Zhang Xiang could imagine what kind of scene Jia Xu would be like if he cooperated with Yang Xu, and immediately sent someone to secretly give Jia Xu a heavy gift, and Zhang Xiang wanted to see if Jia Xu would accept it.
In the end, Jia Xu accepted the gift, which was a great thing for Zhang Xiang, which meant that he might recruit Jia Xu, Jia Xu was a poisoner in the late Han Dynasty, and Zhang Xiang didn't want to let go.
If Jia Xu is put into someone else's command, Zhang Xiang will have a headache, no one wants to encounter such an opponent, and the Jing family has been affected, which will affect the Jing family's support for Liu Yu.
Liu Yu originally accommodated the Jing family because of the Jing family, and the Jing family's support for Liu Yu decreased, so Liu Yu did not have a good face for the Jing family, so it also caused Yu Zeng's position under Liu Xing to be strengthened.
Because of Lan Ji's move, Liu Yu got the news that Yu Zeng was a large gang of bandits, and it seemed that he was born from a yellow turban thief, so Liu Yu did not continue to investigate, and it didn't matter whether he was a yellow turban thief in Liu Yu's eyes.
The important thing is that Yu Zeng's purpose is very simple, that is, to rely on Liu Xing to get greater benefits, such a force Liu Yu feels that it has no impact on him, and Liu Yu also hopes that there are more forces like this.
So when it comes to Yu Zeng, Liu Yu also turned a blind eye, and Liu Yu didn't care about Yu Zeng's small actions, Zhang Xiang not only used Dong Zhuo, but also used Gongsun Zhan's power.
Gongsun Zhan is now fighting with Yuan Shao, so Liu Yu is so idle, of course, Zhang Xiang doesn't want Liu Yu to really die, that would not be good for himself.
Zhang Xiang just kept Liu Yu busy, whether it was the moving scenery or the use of Gongsun Chan, Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao obviously lacked stamina, and there was often a shortage of food and grass supplies.
Liu Yu will not support Gongsun Zhan, but Liu Yu has hoarded a large amount of grain and grass, which makes Gongsun Chan very greedy? But Liu Yu hid these grains and grasses very tightly.
Even if Gongsun Chan wanted to rob the army and grab food, he couldn't find a place, and Yu Zeng was by Liu Xing's side, and he was very clear about Liu Yu's situation.
Liu Xing's cowardice has become cautious and meticulous in handling political affairs, which makes Liu Yu very satisfied, and his perception of Liu Xing is getting better and better, so the things that Liu Xing comes into contact with are becoming more and more important.
The location of the grain and grass was known by Yu Zeng from Liu Xing, and Yu Zeng's knowledge was equivalent to Zhang Xiang's knowledge, and Zhang Xiang gave these news to Gongsun Zhan, although Gongsun Zhan was estranged from him because of the relationship between Zhang Xiang and Dong Zhuo.
But Gongsun Chan will not push out the things that are given for nothing, and Gongsun Chan is also very careful, sending scouts to verify the news sent by Zhang Xiang, but in the end it confirmed Zhang Xiang's news, so Gongsun Chan sent cavalry to loot Liu Yu's grain and grass.
At first, Liu Yu didn't pay attention to it, thinking that it was just an accident, and Gongsun Zhan was not worried about his grain and grass for a day or two, and did the blind cat also encounter a dead mouse? But when Liu Yu's granary was broken by Gongsun Chan one after another, Liu Yu felt that something was wrong.
Liu Yu immediately realized that there must be something wrong with him, Yu Zeng chose to defile himself for the sake of his innocence, and there are many ways to prove his innocence, not how clean he is to prove his innocence.
Self-pollution is a good way to do the opposite, of course, this method was not thought up by Yu Zeng, but Zhang Xiang had long expected such a thing, so Yu Zeng took advantage of the chaos to grab food.
With Liu Yu's power in Youzhou, his spies quickly found out about Yu Zeng's body, Liu Yu immediately sent someone to bring Yu Zeng up, Yu Zeng saw that Liu Yu was very calm, as if the matter of grabbing grain had nothing to do with him, "My subordinates visit the lord." ”
Liu Yu: "What a good sentence, how can the old man take on it!" Yu Zeng is not right, you should be called Yu Qushuai, you are no longer a yellow turban thief, you dare to take advantage of the chaos to grab food, how bold you are! Do you have anything to do with Gongsun Chan? ”
Yu Zeng's face suddenly showed a hint of panic, "The lord admits that my little brothers are a little dishonest, but we definitely have nothing to do with Gongsun Zhan, please don't wronged the good people." ”
In fact, Liu Yu didn't doubt Yu Zeng too much, and calling him this time was just to warn him, "Can you also be called a good person?" There are some things I don't want to care about, but it doesn't mean that I don't know, I hope you can do it yourself in the future. ”
Yu Zeng naturally showed a thousand thanks, after Yu Zeng left, Liu Yu couldn't think of who leaked the news of grain and grass, and even if Liu Yu strictly controlled it in the next few days, the news still leaked out.
Gongsun Zhan's cavalry was still raging on Liu Yu's territory, and just when Liu Yu had no clue, Yu Zeng found Liu Yu, "My lord, I know who leaked the news, but." ”
"Don't talk about it quickly, you need to take care of anyone, don't forget that your real lord is me Liu Yu." Liu Yu has been so busy these days that he has lost his patience.
Yu Zeng: "This person was also discovered by his subordinates by accident, because he was also by the side of the son, and the subordinates found that this person was always sneaky, often looking through the things of the son, the subordinates thought it was just a petty theft and didn't care about it at first, but I found that he would leave the state capital every day for a period of time, so it aroused the suspicion of his subordinates, a subordinate should not go out often, and the subordinates sent someone to follow him and found that he did not go far but put a note under a big stone." ”
Yu Zeng handed over the note, and Liu Yu was furious, because what was written on the note was the location of the grain and grass, "Yu Zeng, you did a good job this time, I will reward you heavily, you go and bring that person over." ”
After Yu Zeng received the reward, he went back to arrest people, Liu Yu heard that Yu Zeng was the first to receive the reward and then arrest people, and he also laughed at him, he was not afraid of Yu Zeng's greed, often such talents are better controlled, and Yu Zeng came back after a while, "The lord is a dead soldier, and the force is not bad, although he was caught by us in the end, he bit his tongue and committed suicide." ”
As soon as he mentioned the dead soldier Liu Yu immediately thought of the Jing family, although it was just a suspicion, but a seed appeared in Liu Yu's heart, Liu Yu let Yu Zeng leave, and he was a little upset now.
There have been too many things that have happened recently, Liu Yu always feels that there is a black hand acting behind his back, Liu Yu is originally a person who is good at forbearance, and forbearance people don't like to leak themselves.
Liu Yu felt that he had been seen through, Liu Yu also thought about Zhang Xiang, but Zhang Xiang was not suspicious at all, if he was swallowed by others, it would not be good for Zhang Xiang, Liu Yu thought about it all night, and his hair turned white several times, and finally Liu Yu had to use a stupid way to restore the original situation and not promote Liu Xing, there were not so many things before.
Zhang Xiang didn't make any moves after that, and it didn't do Zhang Xiang any benefit to tease Liu Yu too much, but now that Liu Yu's side stopped, Zhang Xiang began to do his own thing.
The benefit that Zhang Xiang got from there was the relationship between the Xianbei people, since these Xianbei people could be friendly with Liu Yu, then naturally they could also be friendly with Zhang Xiang, and Zhang Xiang was a state pastor.
The territory of these Xianbei people is close to the state, who is superior and who is inferior They should know how to choose, Zhang Xiang has something indispensable for the Hu people in his hands, that is, cotton and cotton cloth.
The grassland climate is harsh, especially in winter, the Hu people will freeze to death a large number of livestock every winter, which is why the Hu people will raid every spring, because they are hungry.
Hungry people can do anything, let alone grab things, from the perspective of the Hu people, they are not wrong, just to survive, so cotton cotton cloth is very popular with the Hu people.
This is the stepping stone for Zhang Xiang to break the defense line of the Xianbei people, because of Liu Yu's relationship, Zhang Xiang soon came into contact with these Xianbei people, in fact, the relationship between Zhang Xiang and the Xianbei people is very delicate.
Because the two sides were direct opponents, Zhang Xiang's people were naturally treated badly, but when Zhang Xiang's people took out cotton cloth, Xianbei people changed their appearance, because they felt warmth on cotton cloth.
In the end, Zhang Xiang exchanged a large number of war horses from the Xianbei people through these cotton cotton cloths, which were used to expand his Xiangfei army.
In the past, Ding Yuan's subordinates had too many bad habits, and after Zhang Xiang's training, they also became decent, and now Zhang Xiang has more than 50,000 people, which has directly expanded several times, but the cavalry is only a few thousand.
These war horses of the Xianbei people just solved Zhang Xiang's urgent need, and the cavalry finally expanded to 10,000 people, and once the cavalry exceeded 10,000, the whole momentum had a big change, which made Zhang Xiang more confident.
Many things in the Han Dynasty can be sold at sky-high prices in the Hu people, and they used to be controlled by the imperial court, but now the imperial court exists in name only, Zhang Xiang does not need to look at anyone's face when he holds the state, and opens the pass.
No matter how chaotic the situation is, the common people have to eat, and the grain does not fall from the sky, many people have ventured to the Hu people to do business, in order to make huge profits, Zhang Xiang set up a tax at the pass.
The more people who come and go, the more taxes Zhang Xiang gets, of course, Zhang Xiang's side is not everything can pass the customs, weapons are absolutely not good, of course, there are people who will take risks, and finally Zhang Xiang used to kill chickens and monkeys. (To be continued.) )
