Chapter 244 What can be solved with money is not a thing

Li Yuan in April of the third year of Wude, his heart seemed to be on a roller coaster, because Luoyang was too close to Chang'an, the news was not delayed much, and at the latest, what happened in Luoyang would reach Li Yuan's ears without a trace.

Chen Ying, Qu Tutong, An Xing, and the three of them were placed on Li Yuan's desk almost in order, as if you had discussed the three of them. all stated the battle of Luoyang, and finally threw the thorny question of how to deal with Wang Shichong to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan: Actually, Li Shimin is very. This Li Xiaoer likes to play at every turn, how was it last time in Longmen Canyon, and this time it is the same. If it weren't for Li Shimin being captured, then the matter would be much simpler, Li Yuan wouldn't even think about it, and directly beheaded Wang Shichong, as for Wang Shiyun, he couldn't bother with any more strength.

But now, Li Shimin was captured, but Li Yuan was thrown into a trap.

Li Yuan was also very entangled, on the one hand, he hated Wang Shichong to death, and he wanted to kill him. But because of Li Shimin, it was difficult for him to make a choice. In desperation, Li Yuan had no choice but to throw this headache to his henchman and strategist Pei Lian. Li Yuan said to Pei Lin very explicitly: "If you don't kill Wang Shichong, it will be difficult to solve the hatred in my heart, if you refuse to give him the title of Wang, Shizhen Luoyang, I'm afraid Erlang will have to worry about his life again." I'm in a dilemma right now! ”

"Your Majesty, in fact, this problem is not difficult to solve!" Pei Lin thought for a while and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, why not use Wang Shichong to guard Luoyang, Chen Ying as the Henan Provincial Economic Strategy to pacify the army, and Dugu Xiude as Luoyang Yin Auxiliary Government, even if Wang Shichong gets the name of King Zheng, he can't fall into any real power, Your Majesty is still worried about what Wang Shichong can turn over?" ”

Li Yuan said: "Wang Shiyun wants more than that? ”

"The prince can give it to him, and he can also give him the food, not to mention 10,000 households, even if it is 30,000 households, so what's the matter?" Pei Lin groaned: "The title and the food are all empty anyway, Wang Shichong's brothers, all of them are appointed as officials in Chang'an, and he Wang Shichong is the meat on the pallet!" ”

Li Yuan said solemnly: "Li Mi, Wang Shichong and the like, will not be subservient, now he is just defeated, but he is only oral, unconvinced, I am afraid that the Central Plains will regenerate the twists and turns in the future, or not do it, if you want to do it, you will do it thoroughly, hesitate at both ends, and eventually harm others and yourself, and regret it too late!" ”

Pei Lin said: "Wang Shichong is obscene and suspicious in life, and he has no kindness in doing things and administration, and he is cold and weak by nature, and he is unkind. With him, don't talk about me, none of these old ministers who fought the world together back then will not end well. In fact, His Majesty is just concerned about the chaos, Wang Shiyun will never dare to be unfavorable to His Royal Highness King Qin, after all, Wang Shiman's lifeline is pinched in the hands of His Majesty, His Majesty let him live, he will live, let him not survive, he can't die, he will be better than dead! ”

"Then come up with an idea and put it to death, so that you can hit it with one blow!" Li Yuan gritted his teeth and said: "Under the premise of ensuring Erlang's life, we must not let Wang Shichong live to Chang'an!" ”

……

Qingfeng Ridge, Wuzhi County, is located on the bank of the Qingfeng River. There are 15 transit rivers in Wuzhi County, which belong to the Yellow River and Haihe River water system, the main transit rivers are the Yellow River, the Qin River, the Luo River, the Ji River and the Lihe River, the Dasha River, the Qingfeng River, the Jianggou Dashi River and so on, although it belongs to the Yellow River and the Hebei Territory, however, it is like the water town in the south of the Yangtze River. However, this Zhangjiabao is not like an ordinary dock fort, in fact, it is more like a small dock.

Half of the village was built on the bank of the Qingfeng River, with the Qingfeng Ridge in its back. However, it is very simple, even the house of the rich man in the countryside is more majestic than this Zhangjiabao, these villages do not have a wall, and the wooden railing with the thick mouth of the bowl is encircled, it is considered a house, and the whole Zhangjiabao can be seen almost at a glance.

"This is Qingfeng Ridge Zhangjiabao?" Chen Ying looked at Sun Jingchu in disbelief and asked, "Are you sure you didn't take the wrong path?" ”

It's better to be famous than to meet, and meeting made Chen Ying feel extremely disappointed. Legend has it that the bearded guest Zhang Zhongjian is strong and has a violent temper, and Chen Ying is not confident enough to shake up the tiger's body, and the bearded guest Zhang Zhongjian bows his head. In order to avoid being fucked by pretending to be unsuccessful, Chen Ying called several masters in the army, Luo Shixin, Ashina Simo, Gao Feiyang and more than 100 soldiers of the Modao Army, continuously guarded, and more than 2,000 people took Sun Jingchu's fleet, crossed the Yellow River, and came to Wuzhi County.

However, what Chen Ying didn't expect was that the self-fortified warriors of Zhangjiabao in Qingfeng Ridge saw more than 2,000 elite troops coming in fifty or sixty large and small ships, and actually opened the gate of the fort and knelt on the pallet of the dock to surrender. There were two or three hundred people, kneeling on the ground and trembling.

"You are Zhang Zhongjian?" Chen Ying looked at a strong man with a beard and a beard and asked.

Before the strong man could answer, Sun Jingchu explained: "General Huiyu, he is not Zhang Zhongjian, that one is!" ”

Chen Ying looked in the direction of Sun Jingchu's finger, but saw a young man wearing a Confucian scarf, this person was born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, originally a handsome person, but a water snake waist, his head always hung down on his chest, and the back spine was raised high, which turned out to be a Luo Guo appearance, which completely destroyed the literati temperament and the demeanor of a good son.

The water snake waist said with a smile on his face: "So that the general knows, it is not Hanoi Zhang Zhongjian." ”

With just one glance, Chen Ying knew that this Zhang Zhongjian would definitely not be a bearded guest. Suddenly, the crowd stepped forward, and behind the waist of the water snake, there was a person with his head down, which attracted Chen Ying's attention.

Chen Yinglang said: "You, raise your head!" ”

The guards behind Chen Ying who didn't move for a long time subconsciously took their arrows and aimed them at these self-consolidating warriors of Zhangjiabao. The man was helpless, just raised his head, only to see a few strands of long hair fluttering on his chest, and a pair of very divine triangular eyes on his slightly dark face, although he was not wearing armor, it was awe-inspiring and inoffensive.

Chen Ying seemed to understand, and said with a slight smile: "If Chen's expectations are not bad, it should be Zhang Zhongjian at the foot, right?" ”

The water snake said hurriedly: "So that the general knows that it is Zhang Zhongjian!" ”

"Shut up!" Chen Ying glared fiercely at the water snake waist, and the body of the water snake waist trembled, and he almost fell to the ground.

Chen Ying then said coldly: "Zhang Zhongjian Zhang Daxia, is it your Excellency's habit to hide your head and show your tail?" Don't let someone look down on you. ”

Zhang Zhongjian slowly got up and faced the hundreds of archers behind Chen Ying, as if he had no gamble. This courage alone proves that it is extraordinary. Zhang Zhongjian said lightly: "I don't know what happened when General Chen arrived?" ”

Chen Ying said straight to the point: "General Ben has a batch of goods to be transported to Chenjiabao in Qinglinli, Wannian County, Chang'an, and at the same time, there is also a batch of goods to be transported from Chenjiabao to Luoyang. ”

Zhang Zhongjian smiled and said: "I have a thousand-mile boat, but why should I help you?" ”

Chen Ying was dumbfounded.

Gao Feiyang roared angrily: "What kind of thing are you, you dare to talk to my general like this, it's just boring." Why, with our 2,000 men, is it enough? ”

"It's not enough!" Zhang Zhongjian said with a smile: "These people want to take Zhangjiabao, it's far away!" ”

Zhang Zhongjian put his fingers in his mouth and whistled.

With the loud whistle sounding, three puffs of wolf smoke rose in the originally seemingly simple house. There is no need to ask, but I also know that this is Zhang Zhongjian calling for reinforcements.

The smile on Chen Ying's face became stronger and stronger: "Interesting, it's really getting more and more interesting!" ”

Chen Ying's brain was running rapidly, thinking about how to deal with it.

Zhang Zhongjian said: "Does General Chen really think that 2,000 men and horses can level my stockade?" ”

"I think Zhang Daxia, you have misunderstood, I don't want to set foot on your stockade!" Chen Ying said lightly: "The general heard that Zhang Daxia's martial arts are famous all over the world, as long as Zhang Daxia's banner is displayed, the safety of the goods can be guaranteed." I really didn't expect Zhang Daxia to be a short-sighted person, forgive Chen for not accompanying him! “

As the so-called sedan chair is carried by everyone, Chen Ying complimented Zhang Zhongjian, these words fell in his ears, and he felt very comfortable! Seeing that Chen Ying was really leaving, Zhang Zhongjian said hurriedly: "Wait! ”

Chen Ying smiled coldly: "Zhang Daxia really wants to keep Chen? However, with your little talent, I'm afraid you can't keep Chen. ”

"The general is just renting my ship, not robbing it?"

"Yes!" Chen Yingdao: "Ten million dollars!" ”

"What ten million dollars?" Zhang Zhongjian said: "Commission? ”

"Not bad!" Chen Yingdao: "Zhang Daxia's commission, according to the rules of the industry, the general will pay three percent first, and the goods will arrive in Qinglin, no shortage, no damage, pay half, five million dollars, and transport another batch of goods from Luoyang South, and successfully arrive at Luoyang Cijian Mengjindu, you can get all the final payment!" ”

Zhang Zhongjian thought deeply, since the defeat of Li Tang and Zheng Wang Shichong, there has been no commercial transportation for more than four months, and he has already been empty, but the temptation of tens of millions of dollars is not a small amount for him.

Zhang Zhongkan shook his head and said, "Now Tang Zheng is fighting!" ”

"Twenty million dollars!" Chen Ying didn't even think about it, and said directly.

Zhang Zhongjian said again: "General Chen, now the transportation of goods, you must take a big risk!" ”

"Thirty million dollars!" Chen Yingcai said arrogantly: "Thirty million yuan commission, this is a lot!" ”

In Chen Ying's heart, what can be solved with money is not a matter of looking for it.

A ruddy luster appeared on Zhang Zhongjian's face: "General Chen ......"

"One price, fifty million dollars!" Chen Yingdao: "As long as Zhang Daxia can transport the goods to Chang'an Qinglin within twenty-four hours, and then transport the goods in Qinglin to Luoyang, 50 million yuan, every rhythm of an hour, then reward 1 million yuan!" ”

Zhang Zhongjian said: "I don't know when General Chen will set off?" ”

Chen Ying said: "Right away!" “
