Chapter 113: Xiao Xiao Autumn Color

Shi Yufeng walked in the vast wilderness outside Pingshan Fort, the autumn in Liaodong came early, and the time to enter late autumn was also early.

As far as the eye can see, the grass and trees are withered and yellow, showing a scene of decay.

Although Shi Yufeng is not a pure literati now, he has been exposed to it since he was a child, and the feelings of literati, he is not half a point short of ordinary literati.

Undoubtedly, it is easy to breed sadness in such a scene. All things in heaven and earth are harvested in this season, and at the same time, they are also rapidly decaying in this season.

"This scenery reminds me of a Tang poem." Shi Yufeng looked at the withered yellow grass and trees and said.

"Leaving the grass on the plain, one year old and one withered." He Tengxiao accompanied Shi Yufeng to walk, and this scene also reminded him of Bai Juyi's poem "Farewell to the Ancient Grass".

Shi Yufeng smiled: "I thought you only read military books, but I didn't expect you to memorize Tang poems, I really don't know what you have in your head." ”

"This poem by Bai Juyi is a farewell poem, don't you plan to stay in Pingshan Fort for a while and go back to Jinling directly?" He Tengxiao asked with a smile.

Shi Yufeng's expression was gloomy, and he smiled helplessly: "I can't hide anything from you He Tengxiao." ”

"You've been sullen from beginning to end when you come to me this time, and you're blind?" Shi Yufeng was a little abnormal this time, and he was a little depressed, He Tengxiao guessed that Shi Yufeng should have encountered some problem, "If it is a problem to help me purchase an ordnance warship, Brother Yufeng will open his mouth, Teng Xiao is not the kind of person who embarrass people." ”

Shi Yufeng shook his head and said: "The Shi family has been in the business world for more than ten generations, if these little things can't be done, what face does it have to gain a foothold in the business world?" ”

He Tengxiao let out a long sigh and said sadly: "Brother Yu Feng, if he can stay in Pingshan Fort for a few more days or stay in Pingshan Fort for a few more days, maybe this is the last time Yu Feng will set foot on Pingshan Fort." ”

"What? Are you so optimistic about the form of Liaodong? Shi Yufeng sat on the ground, the grass was soft, and it was a little more comfortable than laying out a mat.

He Tengxiao sat down opposite Shi Yufeng, and the Liao State now had no threat from its wings. The puppet emperor of Goryeo was the only one who looked forward to the Liao State, and he was eager to give his empress and concubine to the Liao State to please the Liao State. With this puppet emperor, it was easy for the Liao State to collect strategic materials from the Goryeo State.

On the other hand, the Great Zhao State was indifferent to the fate of the old and young of the Goryeo Kingdom. There was no substantial support for these anti-Liao forces.

Liao's military strength was already above Zhao's, and now Liao's worries are free and well-supplied. Sooner or later, the ambitious Liao State will swallow the remnants of the Liaodong Empire of the Great Zhao Empire.

"Brother Yufeng is not the kind of nerd who doesn't listen to anything outside the window and only reads sage books." He Tengxiao took off the water bladder on his waist, opened the cork, raised his head and took a long sip, "You still have to do business in Liaodong, you have a black eye on the situation in Liaodong, I don't believe it." ”

Businessmen attach great importance to business opportunities, although Shi Yufeng looks more like a personable Confucian on the outside, he is an out-and-out businessman in his bones. Businessmen value business opportunities, and the basis for judging business opportunities is largely the degree of understanding of a place. It's not good, Shi Yufeng, who seems to be an outsider, understands the form of Liaodong more thoroughly than He Tengxiao.

"The situation in Liaodong is so erosive, and now I'm afraid that a capable minister like Peng Chaodong can't go back to the sky." Shi Yufeng took the wine bag handed over by He Tengxiao and poured a sip of wine. The wine drunk by the northern soldiers was relatively strong, Shi Yufeng was not used to drinking such spirits, and swallowed the wine in his mouth with a frown.

"As long as there is no war with the Liao army, Peng Chaodong integrates the Liaodong Town Army to operate the Liaoxi Corridor, and builds the Liaodong Corridor into a solid defense line with strategic depth, and the situation in Liaodong is still possible." He Tengxiao smiled, "The Liao army will not be able to gnaw the hard bone of the Western Liaoning Corridor at that time, and it will inevitably come to gnaw the He family's Gaifu Jin Sanzhou, how long can the strength of the He family resist the powerful Liao State, and at that time the He family's road is nothing more than two." ”

"Either raise the clan to fight to the last man, or surrender Liao to protect the He clan." Shi Yufeng said in a sad tone, the imperial court had already had a lot of complaints about the king, the prince and the two uncles of Liaodong. After the Yu clan descended to Liao, the imperial court was even more jealous of the remaining three families.

The He family was exterminated by the Liao State, and I am afraid that those bigwigs in the court will secretly cover their mouths and snicker.

"I don't want to die, and I don't want to descend to Liao, neither of these two paths is what I want."

Perhaps Peng Chaodong had predicted the fate of the He people, and Peng Chaodong personally promoted He Tengxiao as a battalion general, or he may have encouraged He Tengxiao to fight with the Liao army to the end like He Shijie.

"So you're spending a lot of money on things from me now, and you're already planning to retreat to Changsheng Island and Nakajima?" Shi Yufeng said with a smile.

"Always leave a way out for yourself." He Tengxiao shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm not interested in being a big Zhao Zhongjie martyr, the king who crawls alive in the mud is better than the dead king who is enshrined in the temple." I have limited resources at my disposal, and with my current capabilities, I can't afford to develop these two large islands, and I need your help. ”

Changsheng Island and Nakadao are not as good as Yunguam Island, just in terms of area, Changsheng Island and Nakashima are dozens of times the size of Yunguam. In addition, He Tengxiao's development of Yun Guam is centered on Yun Guam Wharf, focusing on building Yun Guam into a center of gravity for the distribution and transfer of materials.

In the future, the southeastern half of Liaoning will not be secured, and He Tengxiao's plan is to move the soldiers and civilians under his command to Changsheng Island and Zhongdao. A large number of people need a huge amount of food and grass to survive on the islands. To develop Changsheng Island and Nakajima, it is necessary to reclaim the wasteland on the island as farmland. The island's water storage capacity is poor, and water conservancy facilities must be built to meet the irrigation and domestic water needs of farmland. Coupled with other miscellaneous needs, there are too many materials to be needed, and He Tengxiao has no way to solve them all by himself.

In everything, it is better to plan ahead.

"I'm a businessman, and I'm trying to make a difference in everything, what's in it for me?"

"My local business in Liaodong can't only do it with you Shi Yufeng?" He Tengxiao didn't have a good airway.

"That's pretty much it." Shi Yufeng snatched He Tengxiao's wine sac, closed his eyes and swallowed a sip of spirits.

"Tell me, why have you been sullen all this time?" He Tengxiao asked Shi Yufeng.

"This time, my cargo ship went north and was attacked by a group of pirates, to be precise, it should be a group of pirates who robbed two ships." Shi Yufeng told the reason for his depression and unhappiness this time.

The Shi family is wealthy, although it has been declining in recent years, after all, it is still the leading heroic person in Jingling City. The loss of two cargo ships is not enough for the Shi family to break their muscles and bones, and Shi Yufeng has no reason to be depressed about the loss of two cargo ships.

"Isn't the point that you lost two cargo ships?" He Tengxiao frowned and asked.

"In order to hide people's eyes, the fleet went north without the flag of the Shi family's fleet. The people who plundered our fleet don't know who we are, and I know the leader of this bandit. ”

"Who?"

"Liu Ze, the backbone of the Liu clan who rebelled in eastern Zhejiang ten years ago, before the Liu family rebelled, he had a lot of dealings with our family, so I know Liu Ze."

"I also know a little about the rebellion in eastern Zhejiang ten years ago, when the imperial court Tang newspaper said that the three major clans in eastern Zhejiang had rebelled against the law. In this way, the imperial court Tang newspaper is just a false report, and the remnants of the three major clans in eastern Zhejiang are still there? He Tengxiao analyzed that falsely reporting military exploits is not a new thing in Dazhao.

"Yes." Shi Yufeng nodded, "I also suspect that in recent years, the Japanese and Haikou have become more and more intense, and they have nothing to do with the remnants of the three major clans in eastern Zhejiang.

Wildfires burn inexhaustibly, and spring breezes blow and regenerate.

These two lines of poetry suddenly popped up in He Tengxiao's mind. (To be continued.) )
