Chapter 0219: The First Appearance of the Shadow (Second Update)
Subsequently, Li Yi convened the generals and strategists to discuss how to proceed next.
However, before starting this topic, Xun Yu, who was in charge of the army's internal affairs, told Li Yi that the army's food was already a little tight, and he hoped that Li Yi could solve it.
This made Li Yi very surprised, just when he went to Fang County, didn't the Liaodong County Shoufu provide a batch of grain? This batch of grain should be able to last for a while, right?
After Xun Yu's explanation, Li Yi figured out what was going on. It turned out that Yang Zhong refused to provide food to the more than 100,000 captives, and Xun Yu could only provide it from the food of the army, so that the army was short of food.
Since the three counties of Liaodong were the first to return to Shun, and the Youzhou army entered Liaodong County one after another, because the cost of transporting grain and grass from the rear was too great, and the five counties in the west were not rich in the first place, and the population increased sharply from last year to this year, so there was no surplus of money and grain. So Li Yi ordered that the grain and grass needed by the army entering Liaodong should be allocated by the three counties of Liaodong, and Yang Zhong, the Taishou of Liaodong County, would plan this matter.
It was precisely because of this right that Yang Zhong easily withheld the food of more than 100,000 captives for various reasons.
Yang Taishou said, those captives, especially the Wuhuan and Xianbei people, it would be good if they didn't kill them, and they would be given two meals a day, what would they do with them? He said that these people should not have been spared in the first place, and that they should all be killed. Zhao Yun said angrily, "I said it so badly, he promised to give each person one liter of rations a day." What to eat for a liter of rations? It's not bad if you don't starve to death. ”
Li Yi was very angry in his heart, a strong man, he only gave one liter of rations a day, why didn't Yang Zhong's old dog die! You must know that this liter is not a liter in later generations, and one liter in the Han Dynasty is only equivalent to six taels in later generations, that is, three hundred grams. It is in the later generations when there are all kinds of meat and vegetables. An adult only eats six taels of grain a day, which is obviously not enough, let alone in the Han Dynasty, where there was almost no oil, water, and meat. However, Li Yi remained silent and just listened quietly.
Zhang Fei also laughed angrily and said, "Big brother, is there anything about Yang Zhongmou assassinating you in the evidence you sent someone to collect?" If there is, we'll arrest him first. ”
"A big manhunt is about to begin, but there is such a thing." Jia Xu grabbed his little goatee and said, "We didn't pay attention to this problem a few days ago. took their lies seriously, and thought that there was really no grain in the warehouses in Liaodong, but as a result, all the surplus grain in the camp was used up. I didn't expect these people to be so bold that they even dared to withhold our military rations. Wild. ”
Li Yi smiled: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, there is still a way." ”
Then he shouted loudly outside the tent, "Li Ying, come in." ”
Everyone in the tent was a little surprised, who is this Li Ying called by the lord? Why haven't you heard of it before?
Just when everyone was wondering, a woman who looked to be about twenty years old walked in.
This is a woman of national beauty. Qiao stood at the door of the big tent, looking at the people in the tent with a smile. I saw that she was wearing a tight-fitting dark blue leather coat, and the moving curves of her whole body were completely displayed in front of everyone. The plump and huge breasts swayed gently with her body and made waves of dazzling breasts. The slender waist twisted gently, and the men's minds shook with it. Feng Long's buttocks, restrained by the tight dark blue leather coat, look even more huge and thrilling.
The people in the tent had never seen a woman dressed like this? For a while, some stared at those who swallowed saliva in a daze, and some twisted their heads to the side with a blushing face. There are also those who look ahead and pretend to be indifferent, but in fact they keep looking at them carefully from the corners of their eyes...... All kinds of foreign appearances are out of the way.
A mysterious smile appeared on the corner of Li Yi's mouth, looked at the woman, and said loudly: "Okay, everyone is quiet." Let me introduce to you, this is Li Ying, the leader of the Shadow Group I formed a few years ago, and the Shadow Group is responsible for collecting evidence of the crimes of those powerful assassins in the three counties of Liaodong. ”
In fact, this woman named Li Ying is Li Yi's maid who grew up with him since he was a child. She was born in a family that followed the Li family in an era, and her parents were servants of the Li family, and they were extremely loyal to the Li family. When the Li family was exiled to Northern Xinjiang, their family followed them to Northern Xinjiang.
Don't look at this girl who looks like she is only twenty years old on the surface, in fact, she is several years older than Li Yi, she is twenty-seven this year, and she has been following Li Yi for almost twenty years. In other words, Li Yi is basically brought up by her hand, and she is a real personal maid.
Five years ago, when Li Yi first came to the Eastern Han Dynasty, he was almost seen by this girl that something was wrong. Fortunately, Li Yi herself is an outstanding agent and is the best at disguise, so she did not see through it. Then, over the next few days, he trained the girl to be a female agent.
Li Ying definitely has an outstanding agent talent, not inferior to Li Yi in his previous life, and may even be even better. This can be seen from the fact that it took her only three years to become a teacher. You know, this is when she started training, she was already twenty-two years old, and her body was basically fixed. If he had been trained in this area since he was seventeen or eighteen years old, like Li Yi at the beginning, he would definitely be even better.
Li Yi asked, "Li Ying, how is the investigation?" Is there any evidence about Yang Zhong? ”
Li Ying nodded and said, "Report to the son, I have already investigated clearly, there are probably more than 100 families involved, and Yang Zhong is also among them. ”
"What? There are more than 100 families involved?! When Xu Maogong and the other strategists heard this, they almost jumped up on the spot. With their resourcefulness and political vision, it is natural to know what this means. This means that almost all the families in the three counties of Liaodong are involved. If these people are arrested, then the entire three counties of Liaodong will be shut down.
Li Yi was also a little speechless, Nima has so many people who want to die by themselves, it seems that these people really hate themselves.
Xun Yu got up and said to Li Yi: "Lord, this matter is very important, and it must be done carefully." ”
Tian Feng also said: "Yes, my lord, if all these more than 100 powerful families are arrested, Liaodong will really be in chaos." ”
"Uh...... This one...... I forgot to mention that not all of these more than 100 families are Haoqiang, and some are ordinary families that belong to Haoqiang. Li Ying smiled and said.
Everyone breathed a long sigh of relief, but Li Yi glared at Li Ying, and said angrily: "I said Li Ying, can you finish your words in one breath?" ”
Li Ying pretended to look pitiful and said, "Son, you didn't ask clearly." ”
With Li Yi's understanding of the girl, I didn't know what she was thinking, waved her hand and said, "Don't pretend in front of me." Let's talk about it, how many Haoqiang families are involved? ”
Li Ying didn't care either, and said: "There are thirty-five in Liaodong County, nineteen in Lelang County, and seven in Xuansu County, for a total of sixty-one. ”
After listening to the accurate figures reported by Li Ying, everyone was finally completely relieved. Things are not too bad, and the Haoqiang family involved in this matter is only about half.
However, Xun Yu spoke again: "But my lord, this food problem has not been solved!" ”
There was silence in the tent.
"Yide, what's going on over there in the prisoner camp?" Li Yi asked Zhang Feidao, who was in charge of the prisoner camp, "Do the prisoners know about this?" ”
"The prisoner camp is peaceful." Zhang Fei replied, "Although I eat two meals a day now, I can still be full, and there will be nothing for the time being." Gongsun Wen looked for us several times, but we prevaricated. At the moment they do not know about the lack of food in the army. ”
"Lord, since they dare to detain grain in violation of the order, we will go and rob his grain depot, what do you think?" Zhang Baiqi suddenly stood up and leaned into Li Yi's ear and said.
"No." Zhao Yun immediately stopped, "The troops of Liaodong County are also stationed outside Xiangping City, and if we go to grab grain so blatantly, we will definitely have a conflict with them." ”
"I really can't do it, I have to rob it." Han Dang said, "According to the current grain stock in the camp, 150,000 people can only eat two meals a day, and they can only last for four or five days. Do you force the captives to rebel? ”
Li Yi thought for a long time and said: "Zilong, you take the Jieyue given to me by His Majesty and go to the Taishou Mansion, and let Yang Zhong immediately transfer grain and grass, I don't believe that he dared to refuse after seeing Jieyue." No matter how difficult it is, we have to support the news from Fang County. As long as the rebels agree to be appeased, we have no worries and can let it go. ”
"What if even if I see Jieyue, Yang still won't give it?" Han Dang asked, "Lord, in a few days, if we don't rob it, we will be hungry." ”
When Li Yi heard this, he was also a little sitting. All he needs now is time, but it doesn't seem like there's much time left for him.
………………
In the end, things still did not develop in the worst direction, this section of Yue represents the majesty of the Son of Heaven, Yang Zhong is not ready to rebel, this food still has to be provided, otherwise it will be a rebellion.
Li Yi and everyone were overjoyed, this most fatal thing was finally solved.
Subsequently, Li Yi instructed everyone to act according to the plan.
Zhao Yun and Xu Maogong, the two leaders of Li Yi's generals and advisers, immediately summoned the rebel leaders Gongsun Wen and Gongsun Yu, took out the festival given to Li Yi by the Son of Heaven, pardoned them in the name of the Son of Heaven, and allowed them to leave with some of the rebel officers.
In Li Yi's opinion, the abilities of these two people are very average, and they have a lot of ambitions, and they don't have much use value, so it's better to let them go, which can also buy some people's hearts.
In this regard, what else can Gongsun Wen and Gongsun Yu say?
The next day, they hurriedly left the Xiangping camp with more than 1,000 men and returned to the subject state of Liaodong. (To be continued.) )
