Chapter 446: No Money Again?

Imperial capital. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Ling Feng and Yang Xiong came to the imperial capital five miles away half a month later, and from a long distance, they saw that the imperial capital city was spread by raging fires, whether it was a house or a palace, they were all burned.

Since three days ago, there have been countless displaced people along the way, at the beginning there were not many, only a few hundred, or thousands of people, but gradually, along the way, there is no end in sight, the number is difficult to estimate, these people are all going south, it can be guessed that these people are all going to Ling Feng, because from the imperial capital to the south, two thousand miles away is Kaiyuan.

Seeing the scene along the way, Ling Feng didn't feel too much sadness, but was a little happy, there were people taking refuge, of course he was comfortable, maybe this was the biggest profit of this expedition.

Everyone in the world thinks that dominating the world depends on soldiers and horses and power schemes, but Ling Feng has always thought that the people are the foundation, and it is not the soldiers and horses who fight in the war, but the national strength and the people's power, and the national strength and the people's power directly determine the final result of a battle.

Yang Xiong's face was flat all the way, he didn't feel distressed at all for those people who were going to Kaiyuan, he was different from what Ling Feng thought, these people were all displaced, if you want to pacify these people, how much food would you need? How much manpower does it take?

If you have that energy, it is better to train an elite soldier well, he always firmly believes that the most important thing in the world is people, where can you not find a two-legged person? Why do these homeless people have to run out of food?

So, it doesn't matter if you go.

After setting up camp five miles outside the imperial capital, Ling Feng and Yang Xiong each took five hundred iron horsemen to the imperial capital, and when they came to the imperial capital, both of them were taken aback, the fire was raging and there was no movement to stop at all, you must know that it has been burning for almost a month, and it is still burning, the smoke is billowing and the miasma is pressing.

Yang Xiong smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid this is the biggest fire in the world." By the time the fire burned out, there would be no one left in the city. ”

"Isn't this good, you save so much trouble, and you don't have to settle those homeless people."

Ling Feng laughed and said: "General Yang, I have also seen this fire, the little emperor has indeed traveled east along the river, then there is no need for me to stay any longer, let's leave it at that, I will lead the army back to Kaiyuan tomorrow." ”

"King Qin is really true to his word, and he admires it to the fullest."

What Yang Xiong said was naturally a matter of making the imperial capital.

Ling Feng said: "That's natural, since I have promised you to give you the imperial capital, I will definitely not regret it, after I leave the imperial capital, I will not set foot on your border again, I hope General Yang will do it himself." ”

In fact, before today, Yang Xiong was still worried about whether Ling Feng would rob the imperial capital with him, although the little emperor was gone, and the imperial capital was burned to ashes, but after all, there was still a vast area of two thousand miles, except for the imperial capital city, other places were still divided into prosperous areas.

What worried him the most was a month ago, when he received the news that the little emperor was burning the imperial capital, he was just a deliberate invitation, but Ling Feng immediately agreed to come to the imperial capital with him, would there be anything greasy about this?

Now he was relieved, Ling Feng was indeed a righteous gentleman, and what he said would count.

Yang Xiong arched his hand and said, "Xiong knows." ”

Yang Xiong thought for a while and said: "King Qin, among the princes in the world, you and I are the strongest, if we work together, the unification of the world will be in another day, I have thought about making an alliance with you, we will never offend each other, how about it?" ”

"That's what I thought."

Ling Feng smiled: "Let's just give a high-five oath, we will never offend each other in the future, how about it?" ”

"Good!"

As he spoke, Yang Xiong stretched out his left hand.

Ling Feng was not hypocritical, and reached out to give Yang Xiong a high-five.

Syllable!

The two looked at each other and smiled.

After the high-five, Ling Feng turned around and went back.

In fact, for Ling Feng, this is just a show, what high-fives or not high-fives are all nonsense, Yang Xiong is a hero, a traitor, and he is careless, not to mention the tyranny and cruelty, if he thinks of the handle of the knife, he can just bring the troops to fight, but he doesn't count this palm.

In the world, except for the emperor who can't touch it casually, in Ling Feng's eyes, anyone can become an opponent, and anyone can be eliminated.

Early the next morning, before dawn, Ling Feng led the army back, and this time the battle was over, and finally ended with the little emperor withdrawing and Yang Xiong occupying the imperial capital.

In fact, the generals were not satisfied with this result, and Bai Ku and Yang Ye were even more so, they had not eliminated the little emperor and had not personally cut off the little emperor's head, which was really unsympathetic to the two.

As for Liao Yun and others, they thought that after working for a long time, they didn't get any credit, the little emperor left like this, and in the end, the great imperial capital fell into the hands of Yang Xiong, and they only felt pity in their hearts.

When I went out on the expedition, my morale was still high, but when I was in the class, the soldiers had no morale, where is this war, since the expedition, I have fought such a battle, which is no different from making a show.

The night before the class division, there were many generals who suggested that they simply start a war with Yang Xiong, destroy Yang Xiong, and take the Western Xinjiang by the way, even Han Ziyu said the same, but after Ling Feng seriously considered it, he did not do so.

Why not? Because Ling Feng also has his own ideas, the imperial capital fell into his own hands, and it was not good that it fell into the hands of Yang Xiong, as I said before, he could avoid the pen and mouth of those scribes who were loyal to the imperial court.

It's not impossible to start a war with Yang Xiong, it's just that it's not time yet.

Two months later, Ling Feng returned to the imperial capital.

As soon as he arrived in the imperial capital, Huang Linggong rushed over, as if there was something important.

In the study, Huang Ling said fairly: "Lord, the big thing is not good, there is an endless stream of displaced people from the imperial capital, this... We're afraid we'll just confiscate the ability to stay. ”

"What's wrong? Why not? ”

Huang Ling said fairly: "Lord, we don't have much food. ”

"What did you say?"

Ling Feng was taken aback, and then shook his head: "Impossible, just after the autumn harvest, 400,000 quintals of grain, why is it gone?" ”

Sounds like a lot, but it can't stand the toss.

Huang Linggong said with a wry smile: "Lord, we have exempted the people from paying taxes, and the treasury does not have any income, all supported by the Qin Wang Immortal Brew, and so the Qin King Immortal Brew is not selling very well, and it is also new to Surabaya and Huai County, and has appeased so many displaced people, and now the people of the imperial capital are coming in a steady stream, and so far, there are no less than one million, which... No matter how much food you have, you can't stand it. ”

What Huang Linggong said was true, but before that, Ling Feng hadn't thought about this issue at all, he had always thought that he was very rich, because he had just blackmailed Pang Yi and King Yu last year, how could he have no money and no food. (To be continued.) )
