"Master Hou, there is Wancheng ahead."

Yang Xian sent an envoy to Qingyang County and invited Cai Tong to Wancheng for a while. Cai Tong only took more than ten horses, and set off from Qingyang County, only one day and night, he saw the city of Wancheng.

When I got closer, I saw the head of Wancheng, and the Shu flag fluttering high was very eye-catching.

Cai Tong didn't know what Yang Xian had in mind, but the scene of Wancheng at this time was far beyond Cai Tong's imagination.

When he came, Cai Tong learned from the intelligence obtained by the spies of the Chu army that Yang Xian was moving the materials of Wancheng. But he didn't expect that Yang Xian's movements would be so big.

The gate of Wancheng City was opened, and the endless convoy carrying grain and grass materials set off in the direction of Yuxian County without stopping. There was a large amount of grain, grass, and supplies piled up at the door, and there were many laborers waiting in groups at the door.

Looking at this scale, Yang Xian mobilized most of the people in Wancheng.

Cai Tong continued to advance, and there were already officials from Shu waiting for him. After a false courtesy, when the official led Cai Tong to see Yang Xian, Cai Tong found that Yang Xian was not in Wancheng Huanzhong's mansion, but in the granary.

Yang Xian was shirtless and unloading. At this time, the sky was clear, and there were several piles of rice outside the granary. Some were being loaded into the car, and some were sent to the people of Wancheng who helped nearby.

100,000 laborers, 3,000 horse-drawn carts, 2,000 ox-carts, and countless other vehicles and vessels. Yang Xian used Huan Wu's money, but he was not distressed at all. The Shu army exchanged a large number of chariots, horses and ships from the people of Wancheng, resulting in the price of cattle, horses, mules and other livestock and large and small vehicles in Wancheng skyrocketing.

It's just that he worked so hard, but Yang Xian didn't lose a little notoriety. Due to the imperial court's conscription, he was only responsible for two meals a day, and when the year was good, he might be given a few copper plates.

But Yang Xian is different, as long as the people of Wancheng who participate in the transportation of materials, one person will be given ten stones of grain. You must know that these ten stones of grain can be used for half a year for a family of five. For the people of Wancheng, nothing is more important than food.

Yang Xian used Huan Wu's money to save his reputation. These days, near this Wancheng, the reputation of Yang Xian and the Shu army is rising.

"Yo, it's Master Hou!"

Yang Xian was shirtless and waved his hand to Cai Tong. Under Cai Tong, Yang Xian under the sun was like an innocent teenager, with a pure smile and full of vitality.

Cai Tong also had such a time, when the world was still so peaceful. But in a blink of an eye, time flies, and Cai Tong has come to this day, leaving only an old body.

Slightly distracted, Cai Tong regained his vigor and bowed.

"The prime minister is really interested!"

Yang Xian smiled and led Cai Tong and the others to the mansion of General Zhengnan in Huan Zhong of Wancheng.

"Hou Ye fought in the Lei River, turned defeat into victory, killed 30,000 Liang troops, and forced Huan Zhong to flee in the wilderness, which is really admirable."

Cai Tong sat on a small bench in the room where Huan Zhong usually summoned the generals

It was supposed to be a solemn and magnificent Zhengnan General's Mansion, but Cai Tong found that the mansion had become empty, and the furniture, antiques, and servants were all gone. The walls were gilded, and the gold dust was scraped off. Now even the cup used to serve me tea is missing a few mouthfuls.

Yang Xian really scraped the ground, leaving not an inch of grass!

The prime minister laughed, Benhou fought several bloody battles, and only got Qingyang. Where can the prime minister's soldiers surrender without a fight, and they can win more than ten counties in Nanyang. ”

"Hou Ye said this, which really made him ashamed. If it weren't for the Hou Ye who dragged the Huan Zhong army on the front line, and defeated the Liang army in Boling, how could Xian be able to get these more than ten counties. In the battle of Nanyang, the greatest credit should belong to the Hou Ye and the soldiers of the Chu army. Presumably, the Son of Heaven in Shendu knows, and he should be glad that I have such a warrior in Dazhou! ”

Well?

Cai Tong sighed lightly in his heart, and secretly said Yang Xian, how can this kid praise people? Cai Tong was used to seeing Yang Xian's arrogant and domineering appearance, and he was really a little uncomfortable when he was cold.

What does this kid mean?

"This land of Nanyang originally belonged to Jingzhou, but over the years, it has been allowed to be stolen by thieves. Xian has already given the Son of Heaven and reassigned this land of Nanyang to the rule of the Marquis of Chu. ”

The generals who were following behind Cai Tong were shocked, never expecting that Yang Xian would spit out the city in his hand again. But Cai Tong was not so easy to deal with, he narrowed his eyes, thinking in his heart.

Yang Xian, this kid is definitely not so kind, he is so eager to shoot the more than ten counties around Wancheng, there is only one possibility.

Huan Wu is coming!

After figuring out this section, a smile changed on Cai Tong's face.

"Thank you Prime Minister for your kindness, it's just that our army has been fighting with the Liang thief for a long time, and I'm afraid that we won't have the ability to take over Wancheng in a short time."

Of course, this is just a pretext, Cai Tong just wants to see Yang Xian's reaction. But seeing that his face changed abruptly, he became very anxious.

"After all, Nanyang is the territory of Jingzhou, and my Shu army can't stay for long. The Chu army is weak, is it possible that the hundreds of thousands of people in more than ten counties in Nanyang will be abused by the thieves again? ”

Yang Xian's face became compassionate, his tone was full of innocence, and he was about to cry.

"In this way, what can the common people do, what can the world do!"

Cai informed Yang Xian that he was very shameless, but he didn't expect him to be so shameless. Yang Xian has only one meaning, you Cai Tong don't want it, and I can't ask for it.

If you want to watch the Liang army reoccupy Wancheng, you can do it!

Cai Tong looked at Yang Xian's appearance, and he already hated it in his heart. After Yang Xian made all the materials that Huan Wu had hoarded in Wancheng, the value of Wancheng had declined in Cai Tong's eyes.

For Yang Xian, this city is of little use for the time being, but for Cai Tong, it has great significance.

Now that the Liang army is coming, after Yang Xian takes advantage, he doesn't suffer a little loss, and wants to let the Chu army take the front. But Cai Tong couldn't say no, Yang Xian calculated this point accurately, so he dared to pretend in front of him.

"Prime Minister Gaoyi." Cai Tong arched his hand and said against his will, "It's just that our army has fought several battles, and there is a shortage of food and horses." I don't know how much grain is still in Wancheng now? ”

Yang Xian sighed slightly and said, "Wancheng is a rare rich place in the world. But over the years, he has been abused by thieves, all industries have withered, and people's livelihood has been poor. At present, the grain stored in this treasury is afraid that it is only enough for 100,000 troops for two or three months. ”

A mouthful of turbid air surged up from Cai Tong's chest! Two or three months? Huan Wu has stored five million stones of grain and grass in this Wan City, which is enough for an army of 100,000 for several years.

Seeing Cai Tong like this, Yang Xian sighed leisurely: "Huan thief is tyrannical, this splendid land has been ruined like this by him, and Hou Ye should be sad." Remembering the hardships of friendly troops, Ben Xiang is willing to offer 5,000 stone of grain and grass for military supplies. ”

Cai Tong stared at Yang Xian with red eyes. Five thousand stones, you send it to Hanako!
