Chapter 608: Looting Youzhou
In the main hall, Yelu Dashi's face was calm, holding an account book in his hand, and he read aloud: "Lord, now there are 100,000 taels of gold in the treasury of Youzhou City, 2.3 million taels of white clouds, 15 million taels of money, and other silk, porcelain, etc. are estimated to be about 150,000 yuan, and there are many weapons, grain and grass. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info "There are no civil officials around Li Jing, Yelu Dashi acts as a civil official, leading the Khitan vassals, and taking care of the money in the treasury well.
"The money will be shipped immediately, and the order will be sent to Yunzhou and Taiyuan, and troops must be sent to respond, and we will seize Youzhou, isn't it for this money?" Li Jing did not raise his head, and the army fought in Youzhou, losing as many as 50,000 soldiers and horses, including 10,000 guards, which made Li Jing feel distressed, although he knew that people would die in battle, but the loss of 50,000 troops still made Li Jing breathless for a long time.
Now that there is money from the Khitan people, Li Jing breathed a sigh of relief, the only regret is that the foundation of the Khitan people is in Shangjing, and Shangjing has fallen into the hands of the Jin people, and all the money of the Yelu family in Shangjing is obtained by the Jin people, which makes the strength of the Jin people greatly increased, compared to Shangjing, the money in Youzhou City is much less, and the money obtained is at most to supplement the losses of this war with the Jin people, and it does not earn much. It was the armor and food that gave Li Jing a lot.
"Yes, someone has been sent to inform the Taiyuan side." Yelu Dashi hurriedly put down the account book in his hand, he has been familiar with his identity in the past few days, according to Li Jing's instructions, he is now the Qilin Pavilion walking, temporarily presiding over the affairs of the Youzhou camp, and after returning to Taiyuan, he will serve as a scholar of the Qilin Pavilion, for, after Zhao Ding, Li Fu, Zhang Xiaochun, and Wang Pu, he can be regarded as one of the important figures under Li Jing.
"Cai Jing has already settled down? How was he at the inn these two days? But is anyone going to see him? Li Jing didn't raise his head, looked at the inquiry in front of him.
In the past two days, he didn't see Cai Jing, but let him stay in the post house, dealing with the aftermath of Youzhou by himself, on the one hand, he thought that he hadn't figured out how to deal with Cai Jing, and secondly, he really wanted to see what kind of decisions Cai Jing, the old fox, could make in front of him.
"No, Cai Jing has only been in the pavilion for the past two days, asking people for paper and pencils, or writing, or painting, and he hasn't even left the door of the pavilion." Yelu Dashi hurriedly said.
"You need to be calm when there are big things, Cai Jing is a veteran of officialdom and knows what to do and what not to do at this time. However, in a situation like his, either he has accepted his fate, or he has already made sure of it. Li Jing stood up, walked around the main hall, and said, "Dashi, which situation do you prefer?" ”
"The subordinates are naturally inclined to the latter, but I really don't know what Cai Jing's backhand is?" Yelu Dashi said with a frown.
"No matter what, just keep the same for all changes." A coquettish voice came in from outside, but I saw Xiao Puxian holding a tray in her hand, and a trace of fragrance slowly bloomed in the hall, she said with a smile: "The Lord has worked hard these days, I specially stewed a bowl of lotus seed soup." ”
"Hmm!" Li Jing nodded with satisfaction, reached out and took the lotus seed soup, tasted it, and then said, "It tastes good, is there anything else?" Give a bowl to the big stone Linya. ”
"Yo! Isn't this mine, quick, what are you still doing in a daze, haven't you heard what the Lord said? Give Lord Jerod a bowl. Xiao Puxian smiled coquettishly and waved her hand to the palace maid behind her.
"Thank you, Mrs. Xie." The corners of Yelu Dashi's mouth showed a trace of bitterness, and he quickly thanked him and said.
"Guess what, what Cai Jing wants to do, even I know that the Song family is ready to canonize me as Hehuang's envoy and King Wu, and the hole cards have already been known, why are you still stunned now!" Li Jing was also surprised in his heart, he didn't believe that Cai Jing didn't guess it, but what he didn't understand was that Cai Jing knew the result, why didn't he come to see him until now, and at the beginning, he didn't even mention it.
"The lord knows and knows, as long as he doesn't say it, the Song family still has a chance, and his subordinates think that Cai Jing may be waiting for something." Yelu Dashi thought for a while and said.
"What are you waiting for?" In Li Jing's mind, it was like a flash of lightning, as if he could see something, but unfortunately, there was a fog in front of him, covering his eyes.
"Lord, Yu Zhongwen, the envoy of the golden people outside the city, asks to see you." At this time, Boyan's voice sounded outside.
"Golden Man?" Li Jing and Yelu Dashi glanced at each other, and finally said: "If this is the case, then it can also be figured out, Cai Jing is waiting for the Jin people, he has already made an agreement with the Jin people, and the two sides will attack Youzhou City together, but he doesn't believe in the Jin people, so he hopes to unite with us, he is borrowing the Jin people to force us, and he wants to borrow us to deal with the Jin people, this old fox." ”
"Wasn't it the same when we were dealing with the Khitans? and the Jin people colluded with each other to carve up the Khitan, but unfortunately, the Song Dynasty laborers went on an expedition, but in the end they lost their troops and lost their generals, and they didn't get anything. Yelu Dashi said disdainfully.
"Maybe it will, maybe it won't." Li Jing shook his head and said: "Because of the situation, with the help of strength, Cai Jing's hand is playing very well, Ah Gu is killed, this time he lost 20,000 troops, and he has just obtained a lot of land in Liao, I am afraid that he will not do anything to us in the near future, Cai Jing's hand is probably playing." ”
"The possibility of them joining forces cannot be ruled out." Yelu Dashi touched his beard and shook his head and said.
"Again, I think we should respond to all changes with the same, it is a fact that the Lord wants to sell Youzhou, no matter what the final result is, what we have to do is to empty Youzhou." Xiao Puxian said with a smile, but there was a glimmer of danger in her eyes.
"Well, some valuable things in Youzhou City have to be moved, I heard that the Buddha statues in the temples in Youzhou City are made of gold?" Li Jing looked at Yelu Dashi. Since the Khitan got the Song Dynasty coins, the relationship with the Song family has been normalized, there has been no war for nearly a hundred years, and the Khitan nobles have also lived a life of poverty and luxury, the Khitan all believe in Buddhism, and built a large number of temples, some temples and Buddha statues are made of pure gold, Li Jing has lost too much this time, and naturally swept his eyes to these Buddha statues.
"Lord, this?" Yelu Dashi couldn't help but say, "Lord, this is preparing to destroy the Buddha?" ”
"Where is it as terrifying as you say, I just borrow gold like the Buddha for the time being, and return it to him after calming the world in the future. Besides, the pure gold Buddha statue is not too extravagant, I believe the Buddha will forgive. Li Jing glanced at Yelu Dashi with some dissatisfaction, how could such a smart person say such a thing.
"Yes, yes, the subordinate understands." Yelu Dashi looked at Li Jing's eyes, slightly annoyed in his heart, and hurriedly responded, and for a while, he didn't even notice the lotus seed soup sent by the palace maid next to him.
