Yang Jiong originally thought that Li Zhongyi would continue to delay the negotiations with Brother Hugh, but he didn't expect that he came to the door on the third day, and soon after handing over the name post, he was summoned by Li Zhongyi. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Boyo Gong, our army is about to run out of food." Li Zhongyi sat high on the handsome chair, touching his chin and aiming at Yang Jiong with bad intentions.

Yang Jiong couldn't help but be suspicious, when he was wandering around the city yesterday, he deliberately circled around the grain depot, and saw with his own eyes that the grain trucks were leaving the grain depot one after another, how could there be a shortage of grain?

"Among the thieves!" Yang Jiong scolded secretly, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, you must know that in this chaotic north, if Li Wuji really had bad thoughts, he Yang Boyu was afraid that it would be difficult for him to return to Kaifeng City alive.

"Alas, it's cold and snowy, and it's difficult for the imperial court to transport grain." Yang Jiong didn't dare to explicitly refuse Li Zhongyi's idea of asking for food, he made up his mind, first dragged it out, and when he returned to the capital safely, everything would be easy to say.

It's just that Li Zhongyi is calculating, how can he allow Yang Jiong to retreat?

"Gong Boyo, the army is short of food, if the heart of the army is shaken by this, alas...... The consequences are unimaginable! Li Zhongyi and Yang Jiong have dealt with countless times, and they know that this person is resourceful and courageous, and he is an understanding person, so after the opening remarks, he simply directly expressed his thoughts, "I don't know the hardships of the imperial court to raise food, but seeing that a peace agreement is about to be reached, if the army's morale is weakened due to lack of food, alas, Boyo Gong, I am afraid that we will die soon." ”

Yang Jiong was originally a smart person, and as soon as he heard Li Zhongyi's words, he knew that this was obviously a threat from Chi Guoguo.

When Li Zhongyi left Beijing and went north, there were only less than 20,000 troops, and now, only from the number of camps, there are at least more than 50,000.

After all, Yang Jiong has assisted Fan Zhen in handling countless military affairs, and although he is not an expert in leading troops to fight, he also knows an effective way to calculate the strength of troops by the number of tents.

Yuguan is not a big city in Tongyi, and the soldiers of the Li family army not only crowded the military camps and residences in the city, but also set up countless tents to reluctantly settle the whole army.

Yang Jiong is not a fool, how can he not know Li Zhongyi's sinister intention of taking the opportunity of the war to wantonly expand his military strength?

Since Yang Jiong went north, he secretly doesn't know how much he has lost Li Zhongyi, and he can be regarded as knowing Li Zhongyi's personality better, will Li Wuyi do anything that is not beneficial?

Yang Jiong secretly added caution, and simply closed his mouth, he wanted to see what kind of trick Li Zhongyi wanted to play?

Li Zhongyi didn't let Yang Jiong wait for a long time, he picked up the teacup, took a sip, smiled faintly, and said: "The matter involves the great plan of the country, and the safety of His Royal Highness the King of Wei, I am ordered by the imperial court, I must be exhausted, and I dare not slack off." “

Yang Jiongxin said, here, that word came, he stared widely, his heartbeat was seriously accelerated, and he held his breath and waited for Li Zhongyi to play his cards.

Li Zhongyi put down the teacup and said: "The ministers must take care of the emperor's father's worries, since it is difficult for the imperial court to transport grain, why not get grain nearby, it is much cheaper?" ”

Yang Jiong's mind was racing, and in an instant, he understood Li Zhongyi's thoughts, Li Xianggong obviously wanted to get food from Goryeo!

But the problem is that it has been a long time since the Goryeo Kingdom sent grain, grass and winter materials to Yuguan, even if Yang Jiong's news is closed, he has heard a little.

What does Li Wuji, a thief, want to do, Yang Jiong fell into deep thought.

Li Zhongyi drank tea calmly, and did not immediately urge Yang Jiong, he likes to deal with smart people the most, especially a shrewd "top person" like Yang Jiong.

In Li Zhongyi's eyes, people who know the meaning of elegance when they hear the strings and songs are many times cuter than those who are stubborn!

"Xianggong, what do you mean......" Yang Jiong thought for a long time, but he couldn't guess Li Zhongyi's thoughts.

However, Yang Jiong understands very well in his heart that Li Zhongyi's words and deeds have deep meanings, and there must be mysteries in them.

Yang Jiong didn't want to come in vain, he couldn't resist the greed of saving the father and son of King Wei after all, so he made a miraculous achievement, he planned to pinch his nose and admit it, and make a deal with Li Zhongyi with tears.

Li Zhongyi saw that Yang Jiong was relieved, and couldn't help but smile slightly, and said lightly: "The imperial court can't transport grain over, if the soldiers of the Northern Expedition can't eat enough, uh-huh, Sensei said that they can't smoothly take back the father and son of King Wei, I'm afraid that the army's morale will be in chaos, and your and my lives will be worried." ”

Threat, this is definitely Chiguoguo's threat, although Yang Jiong is extremely unhappy in his heart, he must also face the harsh reality: whether it is to take back the father and son of King Wei, or his own safety of Yang, it is actually in the palm of Li Zhongyi's hand.

"Xianggong is the minister of the first emperor to entrust Gu, Gu Youyun, handsome outside the monarch's life is not subject to ......" Yang Jiong was very clever to avoid sensitive topics, and went around the bend to find out Li Zhongyi's true intentions.

Standing in Yang Jiong's current position, he must not only make meritorious service but also be safe, but how to deal with it, he must first know Li Zhongyi's wishful thinking, right?

"The army has no food...... Li Zhongyi sighed heavily, drank tea with his head bored, and no longer paid attention to Yang Jiong.

Yang Jiong felt bitter in his heart, he had been deliberately pretending to be stupid, just because he didn't want to say the key point of Goryeo's food from his mouth.

However, Li Zhongyi pinched Yang Jiong's lifeline, and he had to wait for him to personally put forward a proposal for Goryeo to get grain, and then he was willing to borrow the slope to get off the donkey.

As a result, Yang Jiong's situation has become extremely dangerous!

Stretching out his head with a knife, shrinking his head or with a knife, Yang Jiong can be said to be a mouse falling into the bellows, and the two ends are angry, and they are in a dilemma.

Yang Jiong refused to give in, but Li Zhongyi was not in a hurry at all, he had time to rub Yang Jiong or Yelu Huge.

The weather is getting colder day by day, Li Zhongyi's 50,000 troops are nested in Yuguan, well-fed and warmly clothed, bows and crossbows are piled up like a mountain, and even the iron basin charcoal for the winter is sufficient, so why be afraid?

On the other hand, the situation of Yelu Hugo is not so wonderful, more than 200,000 Khitan troops are gathered under Yuguan City, even if there is a food supply from Youzhou, the consumption of this person's eating and chewing will be in the sea.

Objectively speaking, if Brother Yelu Xiu is ruthless and simply loots the officials and people in Youzhou, it will not be impossible to hold on.

But the problem is that after killing the chickens and collecting the eggs, the next year's life will not be able to continue!

The reason is obvious, Li Zhongyi is entrenched in Yuguan, more than 500 miles of fertile and fertile fields east of Youzhou to the west of Yuguan, all under the deterrence of Li Jiajun's soldiers, and it is completely unknown whether he will be able to sow well in the spring of next year.

This is a strategic advantage, and it is also where Li Zhongyi's confidence lies!

Yang Jiong once considered suggesting that the imperial court issue an edict to Li Zhongyi, ordering him to give up Yuguan to avoid a catastrophe.

It's a pity that the public opinion of Shilin from Kaifeng is one-sided and supportive!

The high-level officials of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty did not have the slightest good impression of Li Zhongyi, and they all wanted to get Li Zhongyi back to Kaifeng City as soon as possible, and then cut his military power.

However, the bureaucrats who have read poetry and books, everyone is not stupid, it is the will of the first emperor to recover Yanyun's hometown, and this banner is now in the hands of Li Zhongyi, who dares to refute the irresistible righteousness?

Yang Jiong knew how powerful it was, so under Li Zhongyi's coercion and temptation, he finally had to pinch his nose and write a handwritten letter to Fan Qian.

Li Zhongyi unequivocally sent an urgent delivery to the prime minister's mansion in the capital at an expedited speed of six hundred miles.

Hehe, Goryeo, Lao Tzu has decided. Li Zhongyi glanced at Yang Jiong, who was dejected, couldn't help smiling, and subconsciously curled the corners of his mouth.
