"My lord, it's time to eat." Li Lang, the captain of Yang Changshi's personal soldiers, touched into the tent like a thief, opened the rice bucket tightly covered with a cloth, revealing a bucket full of thick wild vegetable wheat porridge, and there were many thinly chopped shredded ham in the wheat porridge, and the hot fragrance was fragrant, and then Li Lang said with a flattering face: "According to Changshi's instructions, the villain cut half a catty of shredded ham and meat and added it to the porridge. ”

"Why is it porridge again?" Yang Changshi stretched his face and said very dissatisfiedly: "Didn't I ask you to make wheat rice?" Why are you cooking porridge for me again? It's been eight days since I went back to Luoyang, except for a dry meal on the first night, the rest of the meals are wild vegetable porridge, and if you eat it, this adult will become wild vegetable porridge! ”

"Your Excellency, you can just do it." Li Lang said helplessly: "Yang Cheqi's team is about to run out of food, the soldiers eat all the wild vegetable porridge that can shine on the shadow of a person, and the fifty pieces of grain given to us are also deducted from between the teeth of Yang Cheqi, even if Yang Cheqi is willing to borrow grain next time, I'm afraid he won't be able to get food, we must also save a little bit to prevent food from running out in the future, and the long-term flow of water is the long-term plan." Besides, my lord, you still have shredded ham and porridge, such a meal, the Son of Heaven and the Queen in Luoyang City can compare. ”

"Lord Ben never knew what it meant to be a long stream!" Yang Changshi snorted, picked up the soup spoon in frustration, and complained vaguely while picking out shredded ham for dinner, "It's all your fault idiot, why did you deduct ten of the hundred hams you paid tribute to the Son of Heaven, how good would it be if you left half of them?" Now we don't have to worry about running out of food? ”

"My lord, you haven't explained that half of the deduction has been made, and the villain has deducted ten of them privately, which is already risking the risk of killing his head." Li Lang cried and asked again, "My lord, when will we go back to Xuzhou?" The villains and the brothers are going crazy if they want to go back, Luoyang, a ghost place, is really not a place for people, it is poorer and more miserable than Peiguo, and the villains want to go back to Pengcheng and Xiapi as soon as possible. ”

"When will you go back to Xuzhou? If only I knew! Yang Changshi said angrily: "Don't think I don't want to go back, the mission of the main bus agent has not been completed, don't say that there is no way to go back to the main bus now, Yang Feng and Han Xian They are not allowed to let us go!" ”

"We're not allowed to go?" Li Lang was stunned and asked suspiciously: "Why don't they let us go?" We are Xuzhou officers and soldiers, and we are not under his control, so why are we not allowed to leave Luoyang and return to Xuzhou? ”

Yang Changshi cried with a sad face and didn't speak, now Yang Changshi dares to go back to Xuzhou? The matter of driving Yanzhou with Boss Cao was made like this by Yang Changshi himself, and he returned to Xuzhou like this, and the ruthless Deputy Director Tao had to peel Yang Changshi's skin? Moreover, Yang Changshi was not very sure of Mr. Kong Ming's analysis, and he didn't dare to conclude that Boss Cao really didn't know about selling him, for fear that as soon as he left Xuzhou City, which was protected by Yang Feng's army, he would be cut by Boss Cao's team with thousands of knives, skinned and cramped! So Yang Changshi had no choice, he could only use the excuse that Yang Feng would not allow the Xuzhou envoys to leave, and stay in Luoyang City with fifty Xuzhou soldiers - but our Yang Changshi was not completely lying, for various considerations, even if Yang Changshi really wanted Yang Feng to leave, Yang Feng might not agree to let the Xuzhou envoy leave.

At this time, a soldier suddenly came to report outside the tent, saying that Yang Feng invited Yang Changshi to the big tent to discuss matters, and Yang Changshi, who was currently relying on people's snorts, did not dare to slack off, and quickly stripped off the wild vegetable and ham porridge in the bucket three times and twice, and led a few Xuzhou soldiers to leave the camp, through the streets of Luoyang, which were full of ruins, all the way to the Yang Feng camp in the east of the city, and entered the Yang Fengjun tent very smoothly. However, to Yang Changshi's surprise, in addition to Hanoi's Taishou Zhangyang, Yang Feng, Han Xian and Dong Cheng were all in the big tent, in addition to Yang Feng's henchman Xu and Dong Zhao and Dong Gongren, Dong Zhao were also in the tent, Dong Zhao also smiled at Yang Changshi, his face was full of kindness.

"Why are you all here?" Holding a stomach full of questions, Yang Changshi politely saluted Yang Feng and Han Xian and others, everyone returned the salute, Yang Feng invited Yang Changshi to sit down very politely, and said straight to the point: "Yang Zuocheng, I invited you here today, there is bad news to tell you, Uncle Zhang Ya's grain transportation team was robbed by the army led by Cao thief generals Zhang Liao and Li Dian in the area of Licheng, and Yang Chou, the general of Hanoi Grain Guard, shamelessly surrendered Cao thief, and Uncle Zhang Ya's 20,000 grains also fell into the hands of Cao thief. ”

"Hanoi's grain and grass have been robbed?" Yang Changshi was stunned, and said heartlessly: "If you rob it, you will rob it, just 20,000 grains are nothing, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, just be careful next time, but Yang Che rode to urge Uncle Zhang Ya, and asked him to send the next batch of grain as soon as possible to alleviate the urgent need in front of him - I said that I am not afraid of Yang Che riding jokes, and I have been eating wild vegetable porridge in the next few days." ”

"Let Zhang Yang send the next batch of grain and grass as soon as possible?" The three giants of Luoyang, Yang Feng, Han Xian and Dong Cheng, almost vomited blood, and said together that you Lord Yang is really easy to speak, do you know how much concession we made to Zhang Yang in the court in order to make Zhang Yang agree to send this batch of grain and grass to Luoyang? Also, this year's Great Wilderness in the Central Plains, starving for thousands of miles, do you know how much effort and time Zhang Yang spent in order to raise 20,000 pieces of grain? Do you know that because of the news that 20,000 Hu grains were lost, Uncle Zhang Ya was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot!

"I can't take it out, Uncle Zhang Ya can't take it out." Dong Cheng shook his head and said: "For the sake of 20,000 grains, Uncle Zhang Ya's county treasury has already bottomed out, and if he is asked to send military rations to Luoyang again, he will not be able to take it out even if he is forced to death." ”

"The 20,000 grain county treasury has bottomed out?" Yang Changshi was a little puzzled and said: "Hanoi is a big county in the Central Plains, how can it be that only 20,000 grains can get to the bottom of the county treasury?" In Langya County, the poorest county in Xuzhou, the county's grain inventory is also maintained at any time more than 150,000 Hu? ”

"Sure enough!" The three giants of Dong Cheng, Yang Feng and Han Xian were all in their hearts, knowing that Yang Changshi was planning to take advantage of the wealth and prosperity of Xuzhou and encourage them to protect the emperor and move to Xuzhou. Dong Zhao, a good friend of Boss Cao's over there, was so happy that he even narrowed his eyes, and hurriedly said: "Yang Zuocheng, since Xuzhou is so rich, I wonder if Yang Zuocheng can make a little contact with Tao Yuanjun and lend Luoyang a batch of grain to alleviate the urgent need of Luoyang's grain shortage?" ”

"This is no problem, what Xuzhou has is grain, not to mention lending grain to a few generals, that is, giving a few generals 108,000 grains, and the villain can also make the decision. But far water can't quench the thirst of the near, the road is not passable, and Xuzhou can't transport grain. Yang Changshi replied helplessly, but did not take the opportunity to instigate Yang Feng and others to escort him to Xuzhou.

Hearing Yang Changshi's answer, Yang Feng, Han Xian and the others looked at each other, Dong Zhao was dumbfounded, and after waiting for a long time to see Yang Changshi have a following, Dong Zhao couldn't help but ask cautiously: "Yang Changshi, is this the end?" ”

"Done? What else does Mr. Gongren want to hear? Yang Changshi was more puzzled than Dong Zhao, and said triumphantly: "I am not talking cheap words to do empty favors, if the road is smooth, I can send someone back to Xuzhou immediately, and let Xuzhou immediately send 50,000 grains to Luoyang to send to the three generals!" Chen Yuanlong spent eight years in Tuntian, Xuzhou, repairing dozens of water conservancy and digging canals, and reclaiming 100,000 acres of wasteland! In the past, the traitor said that it cost thousands of dollars to do a Buddhist event, set up a table for fifty miles, and let the people eat, drink, and eat! If Xuzhou claims to be the second in the world in terms of grain production, no state capital dares to call it the first! In the next, he can be regarded as an important minister in Xuzhou, with only tens of thousands of grains, and he has also done the main thing in the next. ”

After waiting for a long time and not seeing Yang Changshi's follow-up, Dong Zhao was completely confused, and said in his heart that such a good opportunity, why didn't this despicable villain take the opportunity to persuade Yang Feng, Han Xian and other thieves to move? Could it be that this despicable villain wants to put a long line to catch a big fish, waiting for Yang Feng, Han Xian and other thieves to take the initiative to beg him? Next to him, Yang Feng, Han Xian and others looked at each other, and said together that the rumors were deceitful, and Xuzhou had no intention of welcoming them? Otherwise, at this time, Yang Hong should take the opportunity to persuade us to escort and move to Xuzhou?

Holding the doubts in his stomach, Yang Feng deliberately said again: "Yang Zuocheng, the current situation in and out of Luoyang City, presumably Yang Zuocheng already knows about it......"

"Don't blame the general of the chariot, I don't know." Yang Changshi was a little shy and said honestly: "In addition to worshipping the Son of Heaven every morning, I basically don't listen to things outside the window at other times, I only read the books of sages and sages, and I don't care much about the surrounding situation in Luoyang, and I haven't taken a step out of the city in the eight days since I arrived in Luoyang, so I really don't know the current situation in Luoyang." ”

"Don't know? What the hell does this guy eat? Yang Feng almost spurted out another mouthful of old blood, and Dong Zhao snorted coldly in his heart: "Good thief, sure enough, he is in Luoyang City, and there are soldiers around him who can be sent, since you dare to say that you don't know anything about the situation in Luoyang?" Pretending to be like it! ”

In desperation, Yang Feng had no choice but to give Yang Changshi a general introduction to the current situation in Luoyang, Cao Lao Tun soldiers Gong County refused to withdraw his troops, and constantly divided troops to plunder Hanoi and destroy Luoyang granary Hanoi County; Li Dao Guo Yan also did not hesitate to send troops to Hanoi to loot supplies, and at the same time Yang Feng admitted that he was on the big dang of Li Dao Guo Yan, before Li Dao Guo Yan promised that as long as he obtained the edict of forgiveness of sins and official canonization from the Son of Heaven, he joined forces to repel Cao Ying's retreating troops and returned to Chang'an, as a result, after the Luoyang Four Giants sent troops to help Li Dao Guo Bi break Cao, they received the news that Chang'an had been controlled by Zhang Ji, Li Dao and Guo Bi were actually homeless for a long time, and it was naturally impossible to keep their promise to withdraw their troops - as for the news that Cao Boss sent troops to seize Liang County and Li Dao divided his troops to seize Yique Pass, Yang Feng deliberately did not introduce to our Yang Changshi.

After introducing these, Yang Feng sighed again: "Sheji is unfortunate, the Son of Heaven is in trouble, the city of Luoyang has collapsed, there is a shortage of food, and there are hungry wolves around, although Uncle Zhang Ya's Hanoi is close at hand, but the Central Plains has been drought for many years, and the disaster in Hanoi is very serious, and it has been plundered by Li Dao, Guo Yan, and Cao Ying, and then it is impossible for Uncle Zhang Ya to worship the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven and I are already in a dilemma, defending Luoyang is death, not guarding Luoyang is also death, I really don't know how big the world is, where is the place for the Son of Heaven and me?" ”

Yang Feng has already said this far, and it is naturally easy for our Yang Changshi to persuade Yang Feng, Han Xian and others to escort Xuzhou, but our Yang Changshi does not do this, and mutters in his heart: "Is it my business whether you are dead or alive?" The Son of Heaven has nowhere to stay, and it concerns me about birds? Although Mr. Kong Ming taught him to protect the Son of Heaven by taking the road of Yingchuan and Runan to Huainan, Lao Tzu is not so stupid, that road is dangerous and there is no food supply, I am afraid that Lao Tzu will starve to death before he reaches Huainan! What's more, there are Cao Thief and Li Dao Guo Yan may send troops to chase and kill, once they catch up with the Son of Heaven Luan, Lao Tzu, the culprit who persuaded the Son of Heaven to move, will have to be skinned and cramped! Don't do it, such a dangerous thing to help others is not good for yourself, Lao Tzu will never do it! ”

After waiting for a long time, I still didn't see Yang Changshi speak, and seeing that Yang Changshi had a gloomy expression on his face, Dong Zhao, who was shouldering the heavy responsibility of exposing Yang Changshi's crime of hijacking, was in a hurry, and couldn't help but say again: "Yang Zuocheng, the matter has come to this, don't you want to solve problems for the Che Cavalry General and help the Che Cavalry General solve the immediate urgency?" ”

"Yang Feng is not my son, why should Lao Tzu help him? Besides, Lao Tzu is not an immortal, can he conjure up army and food? Yang Changshi quietly rolled his eyes, shook his head and said: "Mr. Gongren, don't laugh, how can Yang Hong be virtuous, and what ability does he have to solve problems for the Cheqi general?" Besides, the situation is so bad that macro has the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, and there is nothing to be done. ”

"This guy, is there really no way, or do you want to put a long line to catch a big fish?" Han Xian, Dong Zhao and the others were all confused, and Yang Feng and Xu Huang, who had a good impression of Yang Changshi, nodded secretly in their hearts, "It seems that we misunderstood Mr. Zhong Ming, if Mr. Zhong Ming was really such an ambitious villain, he should have persuaded us to escort him south, Dong Gongren was really suspicious, and repeatedly instigated us to test Mr. Zhong Ming, and first to eliminate hidden dangers, it is really a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain!" ”

Seeing that he was about to cross this dangerous hurdle by mistake, our Yang Changshi suddenly moved in his heart, and couldn't help blurting out: "Slow! Seems to have a way! ”

"What's the method?" Yang Feng, Dong Zhao and the others, who were anxious, asked in unison, and at the same time, Dong Zhao couldn't help but smile at the corners of his mouth, and the short-tempered Han Xian also quietly touched the hilt of the sword on his waist, but our Yang Changshi's next words made the five people present spray old blood - our Yang Changshi waved his hand and said, "Everyone, slow down, and Rong Hong think about it carefully, can this method work?" ”

Yang Feng, Dong Zhao and the others waited quietly for a long time, and our Yang Changshi finally showed a smile and said to Yang Feng: "General Che Cai, I have already thought of a plan to resolve the current crisis and turn the Son of Heaven into safety, so that Cao Ying, Li Dao, Guo Yan and others dare not peep at the Son of Heaven." ”

"What's the matter?!" Yang Feng asked quickly, and at the same time, Yang Feng gritted his teeth and said in his heart: "If you dare to persuade Lao Tzu to move to Xuzhou, boy, you will wait for death!" ”

"Please move the Son of Heaven to ......" Yang Changshi replied very cheerfully, but when Yang Feng, Dong Cheng, and Han Xian pressed the hilt of the sword together and Dong Zhao smiled, our Yang Changshi popped out two words in his mouth, "Jizhou!" ”

"Please move the Son of Heaven to Jizhou?!" Dong Zhao jumped up on the spot, and his little face became extremely pale - if Yang Feng, Han Xian and others really escorted north to Jizhou to vote for Yuan Sangong, then Boss Cao couldn't cry anymore!

"Not bad! Go to Jizhou and vote for Yuan Shao! Our Yang Changshi finally came up with a brilliant idea, his face turned red with excitement, and he couldn't wait to nod and said quickly: "Jizhou Yuan Shao Benchugong not only has a large number of generals, but also has enough grain and grass, going to him can not only ensure the safety of the Son of Heaven, but you can also get the protection of the Primordial Prince, Cao, Li and Guo, the three thieves dare not peep at the Son of Heaven and the generals anymore!" Moreover, Jizhou is extremely far away from Luoyang, and the generals only need to protect the Son of Heaven through Hanoi County, which is controlled by Uncle Zhang Ya, to reach Jizhou and obtain the protection of the original duke, which is far better than voting for others! ”

Dong Zhao was completely dumbfounded, Yang Feng and Han Xian over there were dumbfounded, but they were also moved, and said in their hearts, why didn't we think about going over to vote for Yuan Shao? Yuan Shao's strength in the world is strong, and we escort the Son of Heaven to him, not only to ensure that the surname is safe, but also to establish meritorious service for Yuan Shao, and to be rewarded and reused by Yuan Shao, and to enjoy endless glory and wealth, which is far better than sitting and waiting to die in Luoyang, where there is no food and no help?

"No!" Dong Cheng, who was most loyal to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, jumped out at this time, shook his head and said: "Don't go to Yuan Shao, although Yuan Shao is strong and strong, and the grain and grass are sufficient, but this thief once supported Liu Yu as the emperor, and no one consciously escorted the Son of Heaven to join him, not only putting the Son of Heaven in danger, but Yuan Shao may not take in the Son of Heaven and me!" ”

"Uncle Guo's words are wrong." Our Yang Changshi hurriedly shook his head and said: "Although Yuan Benchu had supported Liu Yu before, it was all because the Son of Heaven was held hostage by Dong Zhuo, rewarded and punished crimes, appointed officials, and all the power was controlled by Dong Zhuo, and he couldn't do it, and he regretted it very much!" This time, the Son of Heaven took the initiative to go to him, and the original public will definitely make up for the crime, and the courtesy of the deacons and ministers will respectfully welcome him, and build a palace for the Son of Heaven in Jizhou, and rebuild my Han foundation! ”

"No! Never! Dong Zhao was completely panicked, and said without hesitation: "Zhao was once a subordinate of Yuan Shao, and he knew that he was arrogant and conceited, and disrespected the Son of Heaven, if the Son of Heaven went to vote for him, he would inevitably suffer from it!" And Zhao also knew that last year, he also suggested that Yuan Shao welcome the Son of Heaven to Yecheng to build the capital, but Yuan Shao listened to the words of Guo Tu and Chun Yuqiong, and felt that welcoming the Son of Heaven to Jizhou must ask for instructions on everything, which is troublesome and restrained by the Son of Heaven, so he refused to adopt the words of the Son of Heaven! If the Son of Heaven goes to him, will he not bring shame upon himself? ”

"Please take care of the first prince and wrap it up on Hong!" Our Yang Changshi patted his chest and said unashamedly: "When Hong sent an envoy to Jizhou to meet Ben Chu Gong before, Ben Chu Gong admired Hong very much, not only personally received Yu Hong, but also listened to Hongzhi's persuasion, and was in a hostile relationship with my lord Tao Envoy Jun turned war into jade silk, reconciled and formed an alliance, and even married his beloved daughter Yuan Fang Xu to my lord Tao Envoy Jun as his wife!" Yuan Shanggongzi, the beloved son of the original father, is even more intimate with Hong, and respects Hong like a teacher! Hong only needs to send a letter to Ben Chu Gong, and he will definitely persuade Ben Chu Gong to send troops to Qin Wang and welcome the Son of Heaven in Jizhou! ”

"Mr. Zhongming, are you really sure of this?" Dong Cheng finally began to move.

"Macro is 100% sure!" Our Yang Changshi clenched his fists, and said with a smile in his heart: "Ben Chu Gong, I gave you the Son of Heaven, you should reward me heavily, right?" Tao Ying is a thief, Lao Tzu gave the Son of Heaven to Yuan Shao, and became an official under Yuan Shao, I think you can do what you can do with Lao Tzu? ! ”

"Mr. Zhongming, you are the minister of Xuzhou, how can you persuade the Son of Heaven to move to Jizhou?" Dong Zhao almost didn't go crazy, and simply said: "You are the minister of Xuzhou, you should persuade the Son of Heaven to move to Xuzhou, right?!" ”

"Mr. Gongren's words are ridiculous!" Our Yang Changshi shook his head neatly, and said in a heartfelt manner: "It is true that Yang Hong is the minister of Xuzhou, but Yang Hong is the minister of the Han Dynasty!" The Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty was in trouble, Hong Zi should sacrifice his life and forget his death to protect him, and he should also be the most secure place for the Son of Heaven to think about the most secure place to control the dragon, Jizhou is the closest to Luoyang, the road is flat and safe, and there are grain and grass supplies along the way, Hong is a courtier who does not persuade the Son of Heaven to move to Jizhou? Do you still want to persuade the Son of Heaven to give up the easy and take the difficult, and move to Xuzhou after all kinds of difficulties and dangers? If the Son of Heaven makes a slight mistake on the way, Hong will die 10,000 times, and it will be difficult to atone for his sins! ”

Dong Zhao was speechless, looking at Yang Changshi's eyes full of despair. There was only one thought left in my heart, "Misunderstanding!" Misunderstanding! Meng Degong and I both misunderstood Mr. Zhong Ming! If only I had known that Mr. Zhongming didn't have the intention of cheating the south, if I had won Yang Changshi's support, I could have joined forces with him to move to Yanzhou! ”

"The rumor is false, we must find out who spread this rumor, and what is the intention!" Dong Cheng gritted his teeth in his heart, and then turned to Yang Feng and Han Xian and said: "Yang Cheqi, Han Zhengdong, according to Chengzhi's opinion, Yang Zuocheng's words can be considered, I might as well ask Yang Changshi to send a letter to Yuan Shao first, to test Yuan Shao's intentions, if Yuan Shao can really send troops to Qinwang, we will escort the north to Jizhou, it is also a good choice!" ”

"I'm going to write a letter here!" Without waiting for Yang Feng and Han Xian to make up their minds, our Yang Changshi couldn't wait to say: "I will write a letter to Ben Chu Gong first, and ask Ben Chu Gong to send troops to Qin Wang to meet him, if Ben Chu Gong agrees to send troops to Qin Wang, the generals can escort north to Jizhou, if Ben Chu Gong refuses to meet him, it is not too late for the generals to find another strategy." ”

After discussing with Han Xian in a low voice for a while, Yang Feng finally nodded and said, "This matter needs to be told to the Son of Heaven and ask for the consent of the Son of Heaven, but Mr. Zhongming can write the letter first, if the Son of Heaven agrees to move to Jizhou, we can immediately send an envoy north to contact Yuan Benchu." Gongming, prepare a silk pen for Mr. Zhong Ming, and prepare a wine and dinner for Mr. Zhong Ming, I want to personally thank Mr. Zhong Ming for his advice! ”

After the dizzy Dong Zhao hurriedly sent the news to Gong County, our boss Cao really vomited blood, and roared wildly when he patted the case, "Villain Yang Hong, I swear to kill you!" I swear to kill you! Yuan Benchu was already moved by the matter of welcoming the car, and then read your letter, what if you have the heart to rob the driver?! Tao Ying thief, a good courtier you trained, this kind of thing that harms oneself and others only your courtiers can do it! Only your favorite Yang Hong villain can do it————! ”

"My lord, we must divide our troops in Hanoi just in case!" Xun You warned loudly: "Although Yuan Benchu is indecisive and has no foresight, there is no shortage of resourceful people under his command, not to mention anything else, if the two of them see Yang Hong's villain's letter, they will inevitably persuade Yuan Shao to send troops to meet him and enjoy his success!" Our army must immediately send troops to Hanoi to cut off the road, be prepared in case of emergency! ”

"How is Jizhou? How can it be Jizhou? It was the ghost genius Guo Jia who really vomited blood, and after coughing in disbelief for a long time, poor Guo Fengxiao finally opened his mouth and spewed out a mouthful of blood, muttering in his mouth, "How is Jizhou?" Unreasonable, unconscionable?! ”

(To be continued)
