Chapter 1406: You Can Go Back
Ten thousand stone grain is equivalent to more than one million catties, this is definitely not a small number enough for tens of thousands of people to eat a month, as for whether Zuo Liangyu will be shoddy and short of catties, these are still heavy, of course it doesn't matter.
The most important thing at the moment is to empty and martial law the docks.
Soon a detachment of officers and soldiers went out of the city and began to blockade the wharf, ordering all ships to leave the wharf immediately, and all idle people were not allowed to approach, which naturally attracted the complaints of the coolies and merchants who made a living on the wharf, but after hearing the news, they were suddenly full of anticipation.
Hundreds of grain ships had to dock, and a large number of coolies were needed to carry them...... There's money to be made.
Half an hour later, the end of the fleet had arrived at the wharf outside the city, and the first large ship had a large number of people coming down and carrying weapons with them, but they were immediately disarmed by the officers and men on the shore.
The door of Wangjing was wide open, Chang Yu and his party galloped to the dock, and they noticed the young man in brocade on the shore from a distance, and he was also looking at Chang Yu at this time.
"It's Zuo Mengeng" said in a low voice, Chang Yu sighed: "It's very young."
The history books are missing information about Zuo Liangyu's father and son, the date of birth is unknown, and in the eleventh year of Chongzhen's Xuzhou mutiny, Zuo Liangyu was killed, and Duzuo Mengeng survived with the army, so he may be the eldest son but not necessarily the only son.
But Zuo Liangyu is already old at this time, and it is estimated that he is about fifty or sixty, the ancients got married and had children early, if Zuo Mengeng is his eldest son, he should be at least thirty years old.
For the sake of the plot, it is positioned in the early twenties.
He looked at this waste warlord of the second generation closely, and Zuo Mengeng's eyes had long been locked on him, and his heart was extremely shocked, he had never seen Chang Yu, but at first glance, he recognized that the young man must be the legendary Dongchang eunuch who killed gods and ghosts.
Because the aura is too strong, it seems that he will stand there at will, but the murderous aura on his body is overwhelming, which makes people afraid to look at him directly, and he is even a little weak.
On the way here, Zuo Mengeng had already imagined countless scenes of seeing the little eunuch, thinking about how to deal with it so that he could not appear humble or arrogant, but now he just wanted to kneel.
In his imagination, the little eunuch will definitely give him a dismount, the people of Dongchang, he likes this set the most, and the eunuch needs this kind of psychological comfort the most.
However, Chang Yu didn't do anything, just rode a horse and watched him quietly.
And he was stupid, he didn't know how to deal with it for a while, and he only felt that his body had been penetrated by Chang Yu's gaze and was so full of holes that he couldn't stand steadily.
It was still a personal attendant who touched him lightly, and Zuo Mengeng finally came to his senses, and hurriedly walked to Chang Yuma and bowed down and said, "Little Zuo Menggeng, meet the Lord Overseer."
Chang Yu snorted: "You can go back"
Yes!
As soon as these words came out, I was surprised not only by Zuo Mengeng, but everyone including Li Yan was a little confused, of course, the most confused was Zuo Mengeng, this is what I am doing, I have run hundreds of miles with fear, you have to let me go back after taking a look, blind date, I didn't like it.
"By the way, I'll give you two words for this governor" Chang Yu looked at Zuo Menggeng, who was confused and confused, and smiled, Zuo Mengeng hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Lord Overseer, please speak."
"First, let him immediately send troops to recover Jingzhou, and if he doesn't fight the governor, he will beat him."
Zuo Mengeng's face changed immediately, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
"Second, Ben Du is invincible, he is free!"
Poof, Yuan Jixian, who heard this, almost spurted out a mouthful of blood, your words are too empty-eyed, even if you know that you are trying to scare Zuo Liangyu, you are too good at blowing, who knows that he looked sideways at Li Yan, Huang Degong and others, but found that they were expressionless, in their opinion, the little eunuch is just stating a fact.
Zuo Mengeng's face was blue for a while, pale for a while, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
"If you don't leave, don't you still want to have a meal?" The corners of Chang Yu's mouth twitched, Zuo Mengeng was excited, and hurriedly arched his hand: "I will definitely relay the words of the Overseer to my father and say goodbye" After speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, but Chang Yu stopped him: "Do you have any silver on you?" ”
Zuo Mengeng was stunned again, he was about to go crazy, what tricks was this eunuch going to play.
"You're dumb, ask if you have any silver on you" Gao Jie saw him stunned, and couldn't help but drink, Zuo Mengeng knew him, and quickly hummed, and took out the silver bag from his body: "Some, almost a hundred taels."
"One hundred taels is a little less" Chang Yu looked at the fleet in the river: "Your father sent so much grain, but he didn't give the freight a little unauthentic, and it was a lot of freight to go back and transport it to the city, could it be that this silver had to be paid by the governor."
Zuo Mengeng gritted his teeth so that he didn't vomit blood, and hurriedly asked his subordinates to take out all the silver on his body, and he actually made up nearly five hundred taels, and then left quickly, he didn't want to stay for a second, he was afraid that he would go crazy.
And Yuan Jixian pinched himself even harder, but it wasn't a dream.
Zuo Mengeng took the boat for two days, went ashore with half incense, and went back before seeing Chang Yu before he could make tea! But this meeting, which was less than a cup of tea, is said to have given him nightmares for months.
Li Yan and Li Muxian could still understand his actions to some extent, but Yuan Jixian was confused throughout the whole process, and he was really puzzled, and after Zuo Mengeng left, he wanted to consult Chang Yu: "Wouldn't it be better to keep him as a hostage?" ”
"Leaving this waste here and wasting food can only cause Zuo Liangyu's jealousy, but letting him go back can play a role in deterring Zuo Liangyu" Chang Yu smiled slightly, but Yuan Jixian still couldn't understand: "Why let him go back can scare Zuo Liangyu."
Li Yan explained for him: "It can be a hostage, but let it go, showing that the overseer is full of disdain, false and true, true and false, Zuo Liangyu will definitely be chaotic, suspicious and suspicious and become constrained, plus the two sentences that the overseer let Zuo Mengeng carry are full of domineering, few people are not afraid of listening to it, after all, the overseer's achievements are all there, not unsubstantiated."
Yuan Jixian suddenly realized when he heard this, but he couldn't say a word for a long time, with his thinking, he always felt that Chang Yu's move was out of place, and it was difficult to accept it, but he couldn't refute it, and he couldn't understand how Li Yan figured it out.
How did he know that Li Yan had been in contact with Chang Yu for so long, and his way of thinking had been silently changing, plus he knew that Chang Yu was gifted and had a lot of magic in his body, and he was a strange person, and what he did seemed to be nondescript but could always receive miraculous results.
Zuo Mengeng left, the grain ships docked one after another, Chen Suole led an officer and soldier to maintain order at the wharf, and hired the coolies at the wharf to unload the grain from the ship and transport it to the granary in the city.
Chang Yu had already returned to the city and continued to eat the unfinished lunch, but Yuan Jixian couldn't eat it, it was a good thing that Zuo Liangyu sent people and food at the request, but the little eunuch was not satisfied and gave another dose of fierce medicine, this time he was only afraid of ......
Li Yan saw his thoughts: "Lord Yuan, long pain is better than short pain, even if you stabilize Zuo Liangyu at this time, what if you keep Zuo Mengeng hostage?" Lord Overseer has now seized Zuo Liangyu's vein, and there will be no big mess."
"Everything is afraid of what if, what if" Yuan Jixian shook his head with a wry smile: "In the old man's opinion, it is still too risky, but since the Lord Overseer said it...... Let's hope so."
Chang Yu knew that this old man's mind was too heavy, and he would not be able to get rid of it for a while, so he changed the topic: "This governor has thought of who to let be stationed in Jiujiang, Wang Tizhong"
Yuan Jixian sighed again: "The fierce general under Bai Wang, can he rely on the important task soon after he surrenders......?"
"Although the new drop is more reliable than Jin Shenghuan, Lord Yuan can rest assured" Chang Yu said and turned his head to ask Li Yan and Li Muxian: "What do you think?"
Li Yan nodded: "Hang it first."
Li Muxian smiled: "Hang him for two months first."
Yuan Jixian rubbed his head vigorously, it's over, it's over, I'm old, I can't understand what they're talking about.
Later, Chang Yu ordered the various departments to rest in place for three days, and after three days, the central part of the royal body opened the Jiujiang River, and the rest waited for orders at Hukou, and ordered the generals of the various departments to go to Xingzi County immediately.
Lord Yuan is confused, what are you doing in Xingzi County.
Of course, it's a team building tour, and after a few months of fighting, these generals should always be relaxed.
But Yuan Jixian is not happy, you just poked Zuo Liangyu's ass and turned his head, and no one went out to travel, so what if he sent troops to fight, how could you stop me as a bad old man.
Chang Yu reassured him, first of all, Zuo Liangyu would not do this kind of move, and secondly, even if he wanted to fight, it would not be possible to mobilize soldiers, horses, food, grass and baggage in three or five days, and he would be nearby at any time to lead troops and horses to help...... It's good to say that Yuan Jixian is not so afraid.
