Chapter 1014: Dilemma
"Sure enough, I have a high opinion, and I have no end to the Tao...... That's a lot of food. bangs, and then go and prepare some fragrant meat. Zhang Cheng originally wanted to praise a few words, but when he looked down, he saw that only half a pot of fragrant meat was left.
Tianya is chatting while eating, for Tianya, who is addicted to dog meat for the first time, this taste is too fragrant, Tianya's meal is originally large, and there is no pressure on him for this little thing. The fragrant meat and shochu go well together, and after eating a bite of meat, I want to drink it, but after drinking it, I feel that the taste of my mouth is weak, and I want to eat a piece of meat again.
The method of this meat is between stewed and braised meat, and it is more braised with a taste that is not light but not so salty. This practice also makes Tianya like it very much, it should be stewed in the clear soup pot until it is eight ripe and then changed to braised in the pot, and the soup used in the braised is also in the clear soup pot, so the original flavor is maintained, and the taste of braised is also added.
Zhang Cheng's bangs were originally good at this, so this method was also created by them. It's just that I didn't expect this master to be too good at eating, not only eating a lot but also drinking a lot. Originally, one pot was enough for two people, but now they have gone down to half a pot, and neither of them has eaten much......
"Let's go, I bought a whole dog during the day, I didn't finish it in the first place, as long as I like it, if I don't have enough to eat, the two of us brothers will go out and steal one immediately to satisfy the Wuyazi Taoist." ”
Zhang Chengdao: "There is so much nonsense, hurry up." ”
Tianya didn't mind, and continued to eat the fragrant meat in the pot, with a lot of bones in front of him. Wine is good and meat is good, and this night is pleasant. In fact, Tianya feels that this kind of life is not bad, it is a little lonely to go south and north alone, and it is quite comfortable to occasionally be accompanied by someone to drink and chat.
Soon Liu Hai brought another pot, and by the way, he added some charcoal, and when he ate the dog meat pot, he had to burn it, so that the soup in the pot would keep it boiling, so that it would taste more delicious.
After a full meal, Tianya wiped his mouth with satisfaction. Zhang Cheng and Liu Hai felt that they hadn't eaten much, and they hadn't even drunk much.
Tianya is also the first time to eat dog meat, of course fresh. No matter the taste and texture, I have never tasted it before, and I didn't hold back for a while and ate a little more.
Tianya is not the kind of person who likes superficial work, and he has never known what politeness is. When eating, of course, it is a competition for speed, and whoever grabs it has to eat.
Of course, it's also a matter of whom. There is no need to be polite in front of these two brothers, they don't care about their impression. But if the two sides switch positions, these two are the top masters, and Tianya needs them to teach martial arts...... Tianya is also very confident in his kung fu of pretending to be a grandson.
After eating, Tianya went back to his room to sleep. Unlike others, no matter how much Tianya drinks, it will not affect his current work, but only to protect Li Hongmao's safety, as long as the other party is not too much more skilled than himself.
After waking up, the housekeeper ordered someone to send the food to Tianya's room for him to eat alone, and Tianya's treatment in the palace of the king of Chu was second only to Li Hongmao, which was also the privilege he gave Tianya. Except for Zhang Cheng's bangs, the people in the entire Chu Wangfu thought that Li Hongmao's taste had changed and he liked men.
Tianya temporarily settled in the Chu Wangfu, although it was different from the life he imagined, but Tianya felt quite satisfied, and felt that such a part-time job life should also be experienced to be a perfect life.

Jinling
Li Jing was depressed, and now Shouzhou can still hold it for the time being, but because Liu Yanzhen's straw bag is so arrogant, all the grain, grass, soldiers and horses that were originally sent to Shouzhou are outside Shouzhou.
To say that he is a straw bag is simply an insult to the great adjective straw bag, and Liu Yanzhen is simply an idiot. The difference between straw bales and idiots is that straw bales are still saved, and fools are completely hopeless.
Even if the news of Liu Yanzhen's death came, it couldn't completely eliminate the anger in Li Jing's heart, and he really wanted to dig up Liu Yanzhen's body and behead him again.
No, it's not enough to behead him once, even if this kind of person cuts him with a thousand knives, he will be sorry for the soldiers who sacrificed for no reason on the front line, and sorry for so many supplies, grain and grass. How many people saved money and paid taxes? This batch of materials, grain and grass was enough to kill him a thousand times.
Although the surname of Nantang Jiangshan is Li, Li Jing himself has never been so extravagant, how much is that? Liu Yanzhen, that bastard, actually gave these things and the lives of thousands of soldiers to the enemy in vain...... Angry, so angry that killing is no longer enough to describe Li Jing's mood, he is so angry that he almost commits suicide.
Li Jing also hated himself, why would he give this important task to Liu Yanzhen to do.
At that time, the ministers were promoted, even though Li Jing knew that some of the people with relatively high official positions would protect him because they had been bribed by Liu Yanzhen, and the other part was to go with the flow, even if they didn't collect money, they didn't want to fight against others, so it would form a situation where the palace of civil servants and military generals would protect one person.
Being the emperor is also very helpless, this is simply forcing Li Jing to make a decision. Li Jing could not accept it, and he could send other people, but he didn't want to offend the Manchu civil and military forces.
After thinking twice, Li Jing handed over this task to Liu Yanzhen. Although this person is difficult to take on the important task, this task is really not difficult. The whole process was in the territory of the Southern Tang Dynasty, just transporting grain and grass from one place to another, and there were nearly 10,000 soldiers around to protect it......
Li Jing was originally worried that Liu Yanzhen would fill her pockets, after all, this is an extremely large amount of materials and expensive. The reason why Liu Yanzhen wants to fight for this position is nothing more than to get some benefits from it, which is also expected by Li Jing.
But now Li Jing understands that he would rather Liu Yanzhen fill his pockets, and even willing him to take half of it, as long as he sends half of the grain and grass materials to Shouzhou, he can be satisfied. But now all these materials have fallen into Chai Rong's hands......
Fortunately, fortunately, Li Renzhen had the foresight to send people to borrow a lot of grain, grass and materials from the neighborhood early, so now Shouzhou can be regarded as defending. As long as they delay time, they will definitely withdraw their troops at the beginning of the spring week of the next year, if they do not withdraw before the first spring rain falls...... and slew them without a piece of armor left.
Li Jing didn't have much hope for this, because Chai Rong was very jealous of the Southern Tang Dynasty Navy and had been thinking of a way. If he had a way to deal with the navy, basically the Southern Tang would have no means of attack and defense, and if that was the case, the Southern Tang would definitely be eaten away by the Great Zhou.
Now Li Jing can only give himself relief, although this time the grain and grass materials are lost in Liu Yanzhen's hands, but Li Jing has no choice, he can't go out and snatch the grain and grass back. So the current situation is only admitted, and I hope I can survive this winter......
"Father, are you still angry about Liu Yanzhen's matter?" Li Hongji suddenly appeared beside Li Jing, Li Jing was startled, why did this kid walk silently?
Li Jing nodded and said: "Yes~ In order to prepare this batch of grain and grass materials, I spent a lot of money, I didn't expect to be given to Chai Rong by Liu Yanzhen's bastard, you also know how much money this batch of materials spent, this is all silver for nothing......"
"It's not a big deal, Liu Renzhen has already collected enough grain and grass from the surrounding area, so there is no need to worry about this. Moreover, Shouzhou is extremely strong, and no one can break it even if there is no grain and grass. Unless Master Zongxin comes back to help Chai Rong attack the city, it's a pity that Master Zongxin is dead, and there is no one in Da Zhou. Although that Zhao Kuangyin has been following Master Zongxin, he is still too far behind Master Zongxin himself. ”
Li Jing nodded and said: "That's right, Shouzhou is a defensive fortress that Lao Tzu has run for most of his life, and has made many considerations, it is definitely the strongest fortress in the world, if it is attacked, Chai Rong will not want to enter it for the rest of his life." ”
Li Jing is still very confident in the defense of Shouzhou, and now Chai Rong has sent hundreds of thousands of strong men to forcibly attack the city, but the impact on Shouzhou is actually not great, as long as the city gate is not opened, and Liu Renzhen's special chronic son, it is absolutely guaranteed that no matter how many people come, it is useless.
"Father, there is no big problem in Shouzhou now, with General Huangfu and Liu Renzhen in charge, Chai Rong will definitely not be able to enter, but there is no need to worry. Now Erchen was thinking about something else. ”
Li Jing said: "Say, I probably guessed it." ”
"Erchen naturally has nothing else to do, the second brother King Chu is in a crisis now, and Tanzhou has a vital position for the treasury revenue, and the salt tax is a huge amount. Yang Ying, the king of Zhennan, has coveted Tanzhou for a long time, and now Yang Ying has been sending killers to assassinate his second brother, and something will happen sooner or later if this continues. ”
Li Hongji also plucked up the courage to dare to tell Li Jing about this matter, because he also knew that Li Jing was in a dilemma, if there was a way, how could he not save his second brother? But now the situation in Shouzhou seems to be in crisis, but in fact it is very stable, and Li Jing should also have time to think about the life and death of his second brother......
Li Jing said: "Some words are not unreasonable, how do you want to solve them?"
Of course, he directly sent someone to kill Yang Ying. He had long wanted to kill this grandson, and he dared to send an assassin to assassinate his second brother. ”
Li Hongji and Li Hongmao have the same father and mother, and their relationship has always been the best. For Li Hongji, he wouldn't mind if Jiangshan sat half for his younger brother. So after knowing that Li Hongmao was in danger, Li Hongji was also anxious all day long.
Li Hongji has no choice, although the prince's status is high, he has no real power in his hands, let alone troops. Even if there were troops, it would be impossible to send them directly to attack the king of Zhennan. Li Hongji actually didn't have much to do, he just wanted to beg Li Jing to find a way to save his second brother.
Li Jing said: "If I can kill to death, I still have to work so hard, sending so many assassins to return in vain, and a large number of them have no chance to come back." What's more, now is a critical period, and I can't give Yang Ying's family an excuse to rebel. If Yang Ying rebelled, it would be internal and external troubles, and Nantang would not be able to withstand such a blow. ”
"That's not right...... Father, how dare you send assassins to assassinate Yang Ying before?"
"I didn't fight before, if Yang Ying dared to rebel, I would kill him immediately. Now that there is a war, I can't send troops against him, so I'm afraid that he will rebel. ”
