Chapter 208: Asking for Medicine
"It's not true, it's just that just now you mentioned that Zhang Xianzhong actually invaded Henan, I was thinking about how many people he had, originally he had an army of 100,000 to invade Huguang, and I had taken precautions."
Li Yue said with a solemn expression.
Hearing this, Zhou Yangbo immediately understood that the rebels in Henan seemed to be choosing to go east instead of south because Li Yue had organized strong resistance in Huguang.
"According to what the Protector said, that giant Zhang Xianzhong, he didn't want to invade Henan, but wanted to go south to seize Huguang and take the southern capital."
Zhou Yangbo suddenly realized.
Hearing the other party's remarks, Li Yue couldn't help but smile.
I feel that the person in front of me is not brainless as I imagined, but there are not many eyes in this heart.
"Yes, when the autumn harvest was originally taken, Zhang Xianzhong gathered 100,000 people to invade Huguang and other places, but they were all repelled by our soldiers and others."
Li Yue looked entangled and continued.
"But it's a pity that when Zhang Xianzhong broke through Wuchang, the whereabouts of Chu Huayao, the king of Chu, were unknown, and he didn't know what happened."
It seems that there is an unshirkable responsibility for Chu Huayao's disappearance.
As soon as he heard this, Zhou Yangbo was also shocked.
After all, the wealth of the King of Chu is well known, and if he is caught by Zhang Xianzhong and other thieves, it will be extremely dangerous for any place.
At that time, Zhang Xianzhong wanted people, money, and money, and he would beat whoever he wanted, and he had no scruples at all.
At this time, the bandits in Henan are definitely not just temporary.
At that time, it is possible that Runing Mansion and the Zhou family, the largest family, may be destroyed.
"I have heard about the capture of Wuchang City, but I have not heard the news that the King of Chu was captured, and it is possible that he has fled from Huguang."
Zhou Yangbo said worriedly.
"Nowadays, Huguangnan is very difficult, especially Huangzhou Mansion and Wuchang Mansion, there is no place for Ansheng, since you are here, then I will also make it clear to you, the same is true of Huainan Mansion now."
As soon as Li Yue changed his words, he immediately sold miserably, and he was still entangled in his face, but then he became very miserable.
It looks like there's a lot of difficulty on my body, and I can't breathe.
As soon as he saw Li Yue like this, Zhou Yangbo gasped.
I thought I could ask for some help, but I didn't expect the other party to sell so badly.
"Why can't you live in peace and make it so difficult for the Protector?"
Zhou Yangbo asked in a low voice with a curious expression.
There were only two people in the room, and there was no other person to accompany them, and they could be heard no matter how small the voice was, but Li Yue pretended not to hear it.
"What? Zhou Gongzi, what did you just tell me? ”
Li Yue asked with a puzzled expression.
Hearing such an answer, Zhou Yangbo was not a fool, and immediately knew that the other party didn't want to say it, so he just smiled.
"Protector of the country, let's get down to business first, I came all the way to Huainan Mansion, mainly for the sake of my hometown, since Zhang Xianzhong, the head of the thief, came to Henan, there have been constant disasters and plagues, and no less than 50,000 people have died of illness."
Zhou Yangbo said with an indignant face.
Hearing this, Li Yue also felt the same way, knowing that this plague was brought by those rogues from the hardest-hit areas.
As long as the rogue goes, it is a place where the plague breaks out.
"Zhou Gongzi, you also know that our Li family's generation of traditional Chinese medicine family, as early as the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, has been hanging pots to help the world, practicing medicine to save people, if the world is so serious as you said, I will definitely visit Runing Mansion."
Li Yue's expression was solemn, and he said with a firm face.
Hearing this, Zhou Yangbo was first overjoyed and then shocked.
The good thing is that Li Yue can really help himself, but what is surprising is Li Yue's family history, which makes people sigh.
Everywhere they went, they united with the victims of the disaster, directly overthrew all the local wealthy families, and established their own forces.
In addition to the known Huainan Fu is the foundation of the Li family, the current Huangzhou Mansion, Wuchang Mansion and even Huaining Mansion have all become Li Yue's sphere of influence.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yangbo broke out in a cold sweat, and at this time, the whole person fell into a dilemma.
If you agree, it will be to lure the wolf into the room, if you don't agree, just wait for Zhang Xianzhong to take root in Henan, and then the Zhou family will be destroyed.
"Lord Protector, in fact, I came here mainly to ask for help from medicines, and some funding for grain and grass."
Zhou Yangbo said timidly.
Li Yue, who heard this, couldn't help but sneer, feeling that the man in front of him was not only heartless, but also very thick-skinned.
In these turbulent times, medicine and food are definitely more attractive items than gold and silver.
After all, gold and silver cannot be eaten, but medicine and food can save people's lives and make people live.
"Zhou Gongzi, Henan has always been the granary of the Ming Dynasty, why do you want to ask me for grain, isn't this an extra move?"
Li Yue asked with a puzzled expression.
"Don't hide it from the country, since Zhang Xianzhong led 100,000 people to invade Henan during the autumn harvest, it has led to more than 50% of the grain harvest, coupled with the continuous plague disasters, the amount of the treasury has bottomed out."
Zhou Yangbo burst into tears as he spoke, so pitiful, as if he was a little daughter-in-law who had been insulted.
It is said that the name was ruined, but in fact, the body was hurt even more.
Hearing this, Li Yue pondered for a long time, frowned, picked up the wine cup and drank it all, the warm wine warmed his throat but was spicy.
"Ahh This wine is warm in the mouth, but it is hot and spicy when it enters the belly, which makes people unblessed and unbearable, and it is difficult! ”
Li Yue sighed with emotion and said with a bitter face.
Hearing this, Zhou Yangbo showed an uncertain look, and he didn't seem to know what Li Yue meant by what he said.
"Haha, the Protector is young, but his body is weak, and he is not suitable to drink more spirits."
Zhou Yangbo echoed on the side.
Hearing this kind of unsalty and indifferent words, Li Yue suddenly frowned, feeling that the person in front of him would not do business at all.
If you want this kind of sought-after material, and you don't want to bleed heavily, it's just a dumbfounded.
"Medicine, food are the current liquor, if you drink it, although it moistens the throat and relieves it for a while, but then the spicy will make the body uncomfortable!"
Li Yue had already made his words clear, and looked at Zhou Yangbo again, as if he wanted to find a trace of an answer in the other party's eyes.
Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, the other party still looked puzzled.
"What the Protector said is extremely true, the liquor is greedy for a while, and it is really uncomfortable afterwards, and you should not drink more, let's talk about this aid first!"
Zhou Yangbo was already very anxious, and it seemed that he was a little anxious about medicine and food.
As soon as he heard this, Li Yue was not calm.
Looking at the man in front of him, he felt that he couldn't directly pick out the price when he said it all to the point, which was too embarrassing.
