Da Da Da ......

Yangzhou.

The city, which is connected to the Grand Canal, is clearly in a tense mood.

From Luokou to Yangzhou, just go down the water, it is just a dozen days of waterway, a large ship with a very heavy draft can load goods to arrive here, and then transport countless goods to everywhere.

At this time, Yangzhou was already a prosperous giant city, because it connected the south of the Yangtze River and the north of the Yangtze River, and opened to the canal, so it became one of the important stations of the merchants in the Kanto region.

Two years earlier, countless merchants flocked to the area to transport shiploads of goods for distribution, so much so that many people here had a Kanto accent.

And Ningwu Town, where Yangzhou is located, was also the governor of the Wei family's cronies, Li Yi Chengdu Governor and the Wei family have long been in-laws, and this Li Yi Chengdu Governor himself has a good family background, he comes from the Zhao County Li family with five surnames and seven families, the source of the Zhao County Li family is the second largest branch of the Li surname, second only to the Li family in Longxi. Its founding ancestor was Li Mu, the second son of Li Ji, the Taifu of Qin. Li Ji is the fourth brother of Li Chong, the ancestor of the Li family in Longxi. Li Mu is a famous military general during the Warring States Period, for the prime minister of Zhao State, Feng Wu Anjun, to the Wei and Jin dynasties Zhao County Li and Longxi Li, Qinghe Boling Cui, Fanyang Lu, Xingyang Zheng, Taiyuan Wang has been and the Central Plains five high-ranking scholars, Li tribes are numerous, the culture is prosperous, the official position is prominent. Over the years, there have been seven prime ministers.

In order to appease the Li family, Wei arranged Li Yicheng here, after Li Yicheng arrived, he was not as arrogant as other governors, he attached great importance to the people's livelihood, and he was quite popular with large-scale water conservancy in office. In addition, a large number of businessmen have recently poured in, making Yangzhou more prosperous, but now, Li Yicheng has encountered a big trouble.

A month ago, the edict of the second prince had been delivered, and after Li Yicheng read the edict, he immediately found several of his relatives to discuss. In the end, they all wanted to see the direction of the wind, after all, Yangzhou and Qin Shaoyou's territory did not border, but it would not burn their eyebrows. Li Yicheng is certainly a generous and humble person, but if he wants him to easily merge Ningwu Town into the Shence Mansion, he may not be willing.

At this time, the express report came and went straight to the Ningwu Military Mansion in Yangzhou, Li Yicheng received the express report, and was already shocked, and then ordered someone to invite a few of his henchmen.

He sat behind the desk. After everyone circulated the express, he immediately smiled bitterly: "The Wei army attacked Zhang Xian in one fell swoop with lightning speed, and now Zhang Xian has been escorted to Luoyang, this Qin Shaoyou seems to be iron-hearted, hey...... How can there be so much distraction in this world, hey......" He pursed his lips, reluctant to say more, in fact, in essence. Li Yicheng is an indisputable person, and if it really comes to that point, he is willing to give up, but the problem is. He knew that he represented the Li clan of Zhaojun, and if the people in the clan saw that he gave up so easily, he was afraid that he would ......

Most of the friends here are Li's protégés. After reading the emergency report, his face changed suddenly.

Qin Shaoyou still did it.

originally thought that Qin Shaoyou would be distracted to deal with Guanzhong. But now it seems that people are sharpening their knives against the towns at all, and some people even muttered in their hearts, so it seems that this Qin Shaoyou didn't transfer the soldiers and horses of Hangu Pass, which is even more strange, why didn't the Wei family move?

In any case, Qin Shaoyou stood up for power, and someone sighed: "Qin Shaoyou's soldiers are strong and strong, and now he has more than 400,000 armor, and the soldiers are prosperous, who in the world dares to be his edge?" That Zhang Xian is also a hero, and there are 30,000 military horses, but so what, under the surprise attack of the Wei army, it was suddenly collapsed, it has only been a few days' work, according to me, Ning Wuzhen is by no means the opponent of the Wei army, Qin Shaoyou took Zhang Xian, he must kill the chicken and set an example of the monkey, Du Du, if anyone is not convinced, it is estimated that Zhang Xian is the end, the lower official is not to increase the morale of others and destroy his own prestige, but now, there is quite a little lack of skills. ”

As soon as the speaker's voice fell, someone sneered: "Why did Mr. Zhao say this, then Qin Shaoyou is really so powerful?" He is just a surprise attack, although he has a large number of generals, and the Ningwu army is only 30,000 people, but the governor is quite popular in Yangzhou, besides, the princes of all towns in the world are certainly suspicious, but if at this time, the governor is willing to repair books and unite the towns, then Qin Shaoyou is not afraid at all? Qin Shaoyou has an army of 400,000, but there are also millions of heroes in each town, how can he be afraid of him? He is just a scare, he can't attack Zhang Xian today, and he will attack our Yangzhou next time. ”

The previous person hurriedly said: "This is a mistake, although there are millions of heroes in each town, but they are in the south and north of the world, even if the governors of all towns are willing to unite, but Qin Shaoyou's disaster is in front of him, if he really uses troops, even if the towns next door are willing to rescue, what about the towns of Jiannan and Longxi?" They can't save the fire from far water, even if they have the determination to break the kettle and sink the boat, and are willing to conspire with the governor, but when their military horses arrive, Yangzhou is afraid that it has fallen. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, this is an eternal truth. I have to increase the popularity of others, it is really a last resort. That Qin Shaoyou has already made it clear, the seven towns of the Wei family, and those who have surrendered now still have the title of governor, Qin Shaoyou has not made it difficult, even the Wei family Qin Shaoyou is still willing to accept it, let alone the governor? And Zhang Xian, who refused to surrender, is now being wiped out, how miserable it is, isn't this lesson enough? Governor, please think twice, don't take this big risk, or you ......"

Li Yicheng was a little irritable, he felt that both sides made sense, but now it was obviously very unwise to continue to delay, he said: "Unity? This is more difficult than ascending to the sky, now all the towns in Hebei are at the mercy of Qin Shaoyou, Zhang Xian has become a prisoner, and the towns in Shandong are only afraid that they will be shaken, and the governors of the east and west roads in the south of the Yangtze River are counting on it? Hey, the governor of Pontus is really embarrassed, let's go, let's go, let's go to Luoyang, if you don't go, it's too late. ”

He said that he was going to Luoyang, and the others looked at each other.

But many people think about it carefully, and they also feel that this is the only safe way, and when it comes to this, there seems to be nothing to say.

Li Yicheng sent everyone away, and then ordered people to prepare to set off.

In fact, Li Yicheng was in a hurry to go, but he had to do it as a last resort, the Wei army could almost go directly to Yangzhou from the canal, if they did it again, the next one might be Ningwu Town, after all, Ningwu Town is an important place connecting Jiangnan and Jiangbei, and if you control here, you can make the towns in Jiangnan come into order, if it is one step later, it is not certain that the real Wei army will come to the city.

He set out the next day and arrived at Luokou by water.

He has been to Luokou many times, just like when Wei named him the governor of Ningwu Town, Li Yicheng took a boat down to Yangzhou from here, but now he is still shocked by revisiting his hometown.

At the beginning, Luokou, of course, was the key place of the Grand Canal, when the imperial court still controlled the world, almost all the grain in the south and north of the Yangtze River was escorted to Luoyang from this golden waterway, so although Luokou was only a subsidiary of Henan Mansion, but it was still prosperous at the beginning, although it was not as good as Yangzhou, but it was also better than the general state city.

But when he revisited his hometown and arrived here, he was still shocked by the prosperity of this place.

The endless warehouses are located on both sides, the embankments on both sides have obviously been reinforced, along the embankment for more than ten miles, are densely packed with people, countless trestle bridges stretch out of the riverbed, there are cargo ships going back and forth everywhere, and the nearby lakes have become docks for mooring ships, and when they enter the docks and land on the shore, behind this warehouse, there is a huge city.

At this time, when going ashore, it is already dark, and it is about to fall into the night, but this city, obviously the city that never sleeps, at this time the lights of ten thousand homes have been lit, and the shouting sound is more lively than the market in Yangzhou, there are almost no private houses here, there are just countless inns, these inns can not see the end at a glance, almost all of them are merchants and merchants' servants, so although the inns are as many as the stars, but almost this hour has been overcrowded, in addition, there are countless wine shops, tea shops, green buildings, warblers singing and dancing, so lively.

As soon as Li Yicheng was on the case, a local envoy brought someone to meet him, and arranged for Li Yicheng to stay in the county central governance office for a while, and then Li Yicheng set off towards Luoyang.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

If you have to say that Luokou is a huge city that is only for people to rest and pass, then Luoyang can almost be said to be the largest city in the world.

The prosperity of Luoyang is not only ten times that of Luokou, countless exquisite mansions, bright people on the streets, and endless streets, so that Li Yicheng, who was an official in Luoyang at the beginning, couldn't help but be stunned at this time.

Because he found that he had lived here for seven or eight years, he was now very unfamiliar with Luoyang, and he couldn't even find his former residence.

And here, the garrison is obviously more strict, and when they enter Luoyang, they order someone to go to the Shence Mansion to report. He thought that someone would come to pick him up tomorrow and take him to the Shence Mansion, but who expected that just after settling down, a group of people and horses came to the place where he lived.

Qin Shaoyou came in person.

Li Yicheng never expected that Qin Shaoyou would be younger than he imagined, and after the two glanced at each other, Qin Shaoyou pursed his lips and smiled, "But Li Dudu of Ningwu Town?" ”

Li Yicheng hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "I've seen Your Highness." (To be continued.) )
