Chapter 0362. Grain requisition in the war zone, suspicion is such as...
It is obvious that the face of King Min and his entourage is not right, and the father-in-law Xiao who passed the decree is very discerning, and he retired directly without urging him, this is an arbitrary and domineering master, and Gonggong Xiao, who almost lost his head several times, knows how to get along clearly.
Seeing that a group of Yulin 'attendants' guards followed out, the hot-tempered Scar Liu couldn't help but slam his fist on the table with a muffled voice, shouting with annoyance: "The war zone requisition grain, there will be so much at one time, what does Your Majesty think!" ”
"And that's not the most important thing!" Because of the sudden situation, Lao Yang Yi's face was even more 'gloomy', and he washed his pipe fiercely and roared in a low voice: "Two hundred and thirty thousand stone grain, this amount is exactly the grain we prepared for this campaign, how did Your Majesty know this amount, just want all our military rations, could it be that the drunkard does not mean to drink?" Does he want Fujian to continue to be so 'chaotic'? ”
"There is a rebellion and injustice, why is Your Majesty so confused?" also lit a cigar depressedly, Scar Liu Weng muttered angrily, if someone reprimanded him in the past, this time, Laiji, Di Renjie and others have remained silent, Goguryeo has made these Guanzhong veterans angry, and now in this miasma land, the court bigwigs are still coming to make stumbling blocks, how can it not make people angry?
"Your Highness, how should we deal with it?" After being silent for a while, Wang Xuance opened his mouth first, paused, gritted his teeth, and said in a gloomy voice: "Don't give food, directly guide Zhang's 'tide', after pacifying She, recruit soldiers and horses from all over the south, at least 100,000 soldiers, the imperial court is heavy, and the Jiangzuo family does not want to find the glory that once belonged to them. ”
"Guanzhong would never have thought that we could go directly to Qizhou by sea and land, His Royal Highness has a good relationship with the King of Qi, His Royal Highness has an incident, and the King of Qi will also raise troops to respond, His Majesty will conquer Goguryeo, and return in two years, the grain and grass in the country will be exhausted, the 'elite' soldiers are tired, and the prince will stir up the 'chaos' cotton textile guild, which is also unpopular, if you do something at this time, it is an opportunity!"
The candlelight in the tent was swaying, and the old Yang Yi's face was 'gloomy', seeing that everyone was silent, with Jiao Laosan's heart at the end of the year, he couldn't help beating wildly, and he also lowered his head, at this time, the feeling of scalp numbness came again, Jiao Laosan raised his head slightly with difficulty again, and just saw Li Jie's eyes staring at him sharply.
It seemed that his breath was stagnant, Jiao Laosan really felt what it was like to be like a year, time seemed to be stagnant for a second or two, and Li Jie finally waved his sleeves: "Don't mention this matter again." ”
"But Your Highness, what do we do now?" Seeing that Li Jie was about to leave, Wang Xuance couldn't help but ask eagerly again, and suddenly turned around, Li Jie impatiently said with his sleeves behind his back: "Give half of the grain, give it in five batches, drag it out, the army will still march towards Zhangdi, Luo'er, you repair the book to your father-in-law and ask what is going on?" ”
"In the end, repair the book to Lei Kecheng, this king does not accept his surrender, so that's it, let him go back and prepare for the war quickly, disperse!" After speaking, Li Jie went out without looking back, seeing his father-in-law leave, Lao Yang Yi was also silent for a long time, and after a while, everyone dispersed, but Jiao Laosan was still staring at the handsome chair where Li Jie had sat and was silent for a long time.
The march for two consecutive days was much duller, and Lei Kecheng was obviously unprepared for Li Jie's rebellion, and even held the last hope to lead his troops to stop in front of the tulou built by the Fujian State, but unfortunately in exchange for the ruthless drive of the Tang army, and finally had to desperately return to the vast mountains south of the Zhangjiang River with tens of thousands of old and weak.
The momentum of the Fujian army and the attitude of rushing to kill people once again made the Zhang's 'tide' nervous, and the 'holes' put aside their prejudices and once again united under the banner of the temporary overlord Lan Fenggao, and the barbarians of each 'hole' gathered together again and densely spread in the vast mountains in front of the Tang army to prepare for the blockade.
However, the Tang army was fast and resolute against the usual soldiers, and as soon as they crossed the Zhangjiang River, they were busy building a large camp and shrinking up, and even the 'elite' elite of the mountain army that had been scattered out were all recruited back, and their attitude was not like coming to crusade, but like they were coming to defend.
The strange attitude has lasted for more than ten days, Li Jie has been holding himself in the tent of the Chinese army and not coming out, none of the generals dare to attack rashly, the battle situation is deadlocked here for a while, on the other hand, Xiao Gonggong took less than one-tenth of the rice grain of the edict and went north without any complaints, and there was no reprimand from the imperial court.
"Old Changshi, you should still persuade the King of Min, if you want to fight, you will fight, if you want to withdraw, you will withdraw, hold it here every day, and I Lao Liu will hold back a bird." Early in the morning, Scar Liu and a few inferior goods were entangled in the old Yang Yi's tent, listening to the chatter, the old Yang Yi's already wrinkled brain 'door' couldn't help but wrinkle deeper, and he smoked deeply and said helplessly.
"Your Highness must have his considerations in doing this, and if you have time to pester the old man, you might as well take the recruits who have never been on the battlefield to familiarize yourself with the atmosphere of the battlefield."
"But ......" was full of unwillingness, Scar Liu still wanted to entangle two more sentences, I didn't want to suddenly make a big hooves outside the tent at this time, and the military camp was not allowed to ride a horse and gallop, unless there was an emergency military situation, this is an iron law, and now Lao Yang Yi couldn't help but sit still, lost his pipe and hurried out of the 'door'.
Looking at the dozen or so messengers who had 'planted' the red flag on their backs and went to the king's tent, Scar Liu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and muttered easily: "The messenger of Chang'an has arrived, and now His Highness should have a decision!" ”
There was no need to be notified, all the important civil and military generals spontaneously gathered over, and after listening to the messenger's report, everyone couldn't help but relax and make a false alarm.
The locust plague in Henan, the Goguryeo War consumed too much grain reserves in the imperial court, and Li Shimin, who lacked materials, simply issued an edict to all provinces across the country to recruit grain, not only Li Jie, but also the former prince Li Chengqian, who was far away in Haidong, received a conscription order, but only Li Jie's Fujian land was the most 'handed over', and even if the rest of the roads were 'handed over', it was only a few thousand stones, which was just a drop in the bucket.
"It's actually for this reason, I still think that Your Majesty is confused!" Listening to the messenger's narration, Scar Liu, the inferior thing, couldn't help but grinned, Xue Qing, Qin Huaiyang and others on the side also laughed easily, Li Jie himself stood up with a chuckle, raised his hands and pressed down against the generals: "Be quiet, be quiet, listen to this king." ”
"Since the imperial court has no intention of targeting our Fujian country, then the world is peaceful, you go back to restrain the soldiers of the army, and tomorrow we will retreat back to Quanzhou."
"What? Don't fight? As soon as Li Jie made a decision, Scar Liu's eyes widened and his voice shouted, and Li Jie, who heard it, couldn't help but stare and said: "Now tens of thousands of shes are hiding in the mountains waiting for a sneak attack, Lao Liu, if you have this ambition, you can fight, I won't go to this king." ”
Thinking of the sultry person who didn't let go of the cold arrow, Scar Liu couldn't help but shrink his head with a numb scalp, and his cowardly appearance made the generals laugh for a while.
After making trouble for a while, the generals who were relieved also dispersed, and only the old Yang Yi seemed a little worried at the end, the old guy went through the great 'chaos' at the end of the Sui Dynasty, read countless people, and the generals who were rough and leafy did not pay attention, but he noticed it, pinching the letter from the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Jie even had a trace of annoyance on his brow when he smiled.
Moreover, a very critical issue has not been solved, how does Your Majesty know how much military rations there are in Fujian!
"Jiao Laosan, you stay for a while!"
Jiao Laosan, who was about to walk out of the tent, was obviously stiff, and Lao Yang Yi was also obviously surprised, and glanced at Jiao Laosan, who was walking stiffly, and didn't look back.
The letter of the eldest grandson Wuji was re-unfolded in front of him, staring at the shocking warning above, Li Jie was speechless for a long time again.
The name of the prosperity of Fujian is known in Guanzhong, and the Jiangnan officials only know King Li Min, but they don't know the Khan, and they have more than 10,000 hegemons in the southeast who are famous all over the world. Don't you know that since ancient times, the strong feudal clan has withered!
There are seven or eight books under the letter, all of which are impeached for their own lawlessness and even the accumulation of armor soldiers to plot rebellion, and the twists and turns of all dynasties are sensitive matters, even if the eldest grandson and the old fox can't steal it, it undoubtedly comes from his father Li Shimin, Li Shimin's hand, the smell of warning is full.
After a while, Li Jie raised his head again, on the ground, Jiao Laosan had been kneeling for a long time, and when he saw Li Jie's eyes, he hurriedly leaned down again, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, it's not me!" ”
"Alright, there's no other meaning, get up." Raising his hand tiredly, Li Jie leaned on the back of the chair with his hands relaxed, and raised his head and shouted, "Fan Lijia, bring up the green ant wine." ”
After a while, a handsome young man who was also wearing a 'fine' beautiful and light leather armor came out from behind the tent with a wine jar, seeing the young man's slightly impatient appearance, Li Jie laughed self-deprecatingly: "Prince Linyi, haven't you always wanted to learn the way to be a king?" I haven't taught you anything, this is a lesson, the king also needs to endure all kinds of helplessness, perhaps, only the real emperor can have less helplessness. ”
After taking the wine jar, Li Jie casually threw the letter of the eldest grandson Wuji and the fold to Fan Lijia, the young man quickly picked it up and retreated to the back, listening to Li Jie's helplessness, Jiao Laosan's eyelids jumped again, but he still took the initiative to step forward and help Li Jie put the wine bowl on the table, just like a long time ago, when he was still a ranger in Chang'an.
"Haha, come, let's have a drink together, I haven't drunk together for a long time, I still live comfortably in Chang'an, where are there so many to worry about, I'm afraid that when my father asked you to follow me, I didn't think that there would be such a complicated situation now."
didn't wait to drink, Li Jie seemed to be a little drunk, listening to his emotion, Jiao Laosan seemed to be reminded of a little memory, sighed and picked up the wine bowl and said: "Indeed, when Your Majesty asked me to follow Jiulang, I once said that the nine sons of my family will not be able to do anything, and they will cause trouble, you want to follow him, don't let him poke out of the basket, but now, His Royal Highness poked out the basket, Your Majesty never expected it." ”
Surprisingly, all the nervousness just now seemed to be thrown out of the clouds, and Jiao Laosan also picked up the wine bowl by himself like an old friend, and said while tasting it with a smile, listening to Li Jie's strange eyes.
"No, didn't you run into the palace 'girl' changing hall that time, as for that, do you remember that?"
"His Royal Highness not only saw the palace 'girl' that time, but also looked at Mrs. Hu Guo, and Duke Hu Guo scolded his mother in the end, haha, how can Your Majesty not remember clearly?" After drinking a little in a hurry, Jiao Laosan said aloud with a smile, 'making' Li Jie wipe his nose in embarrassment.
After drinking a meal of old wine for a long time, the big jar filled with a few catties was empty, Li Jie seemed to be drunk 'chaotic', lying on the table, Jiao Laosan was not much better, he was full of drunkenness and shook his head and walked out, but as soon as he walked to the 'door', Li Jie's voice behind him suddenly came.
"The third child, I want to develop Ryukyu, do I want to entrust you to be the governor?"
Obviously stunned for a moment, Jiao Laosan turned his head in astonishment, lying on the table, Li Jie was still very drunk, staring at him but not drunk at all, stunned, Jiao Laosan smiled and shook his head in a daze: "Your Highness is drunk." ”
Shaking out of the 'door', he took a sharp breath of cold air outside the 'door', the drunkenness in Jiao Laosan's eyes actually faded, looking at the bright moon in a foreign land, suddenly, he seemed to have made some kind of decision......
