Tao Huang is a child of the Junwang family in the end, and he also knows the rules, and the relationship between the Tao family and the Han Kingdom is only a commercial relationship when calculated, so he has to get up at this time.

Jiaozhou produces grain and herbs, as well as salted fish, and countless grains were transported from Jiaozhou to Shu last year, which is also one of the reasons for supporting the Yanhan campaign for half a year last year.

It's just that the situation has changed greatly after Yan Han this year, but it is not what Wu Guo, an ally, wants to see.

If you study it carefully, the Cao clan of Wei State actually does not have much enmity with Yan Han, it is nothing more than a dispute between the world and a debate between the two countries, not to mention that the Cao clan is already miserable enough.

Although Sun Wu was also a rebellion, the great feud between General Guan and later Liezu was only forced by the situation and could only negotiate peace with Sun Wu, but if Yan Han revived, then Sun Wu may be difficult to please in the future.

At this time, he was playing chess with Yang Yi, but it was Liu Ling, after receiving the chess pieces, he also looked over, as a child of the family, his body shape would not be too bad, although he looked only twenty-five or sixteen years old, but he could easily control his joy and anger, and had the potential to achieve great things.

"You sit down first, what's the matter, say it slowly, no matter how urgent things are, you can't rush this moment." At this time, someone said something, but it was Ma Ting, a scholar of Hanlin.

Tao Huang saluted again, his eyes were already full of tears: "Your Majesty, that Wu thief has made a move towards our Tao family." ”

"Oh?" Yang Yi was taken aback, got up and walked a few steps: "How is the situation?" ”

Why did Sun Wu make a move to the Tao family, it was nothing more than that Sun Wu felt that the Tao family had done something wrong, but the Tao family did the same thing as many scholars on the surface, on the surface, he had been keeping to himself, but he was secretly accumulating strength, and the only thing he had done recently was to send materials to the Han State and exchange materials with the Han State.

Nearly one-third of the production of the major workshops built by Yang Yi was exchanged with Dow for the materials he needed, which was an extremely large number.

Even in order to facilitate this transaction, it has always been its own side to hand over the goods first, and then Dow to raise materials.

And last year, it was the first to hand over the materials to Dow, and allowed Dow to take credit for two months or even three months, but this year, the situation in the Han Kingdom changed, and Dow did not dare to give credit.

"Five days before I started, my family got the news, my second brother left Jianye under the pretext of collecting money, but I met the person who called my brother halfway, and the second brother had a family soldier to resist, so he never went back."

"After that, I got the news in Cangwu because my brother that the Sun thief had already copied my Tao family, a total of nine shops in Jianye City together with various states and counties, and 891 people, including my father."

"On the grounds of rebellion, the Sun thief said that we were the remnants of the Shi family back then, and we wanted to behead my family together, and asked Your Majesty to send troops to save my father and save my Tao clansmen, I would like to offer Cangwu County as a gift!" After speaking, Tao Huang knelt down again, kowtowed and said.

Yang Yi listened, groaned and said slowly: "Our country and Sun Wu are allies, Yan Han takes filial piety as the foundation of the country, besides, Jianye is thousands of miles away, even if I want to send troops to rescue, it is too late, and people are in the hands of Sun Hao, even if I send troops now, I can't save people, you calm down first, I think Sun Hao will not be like this, you wait for the family, generation of loyalty, he rashly kills him, he is not afraid that there is no way back?" ”

Although he said this, Yang Yi knew that it was already late at this time, even Cangwu County, and now I am afraid that it is not in the hands of the Tao family, Tao Huang came from the south, just in a hurry, I am afraid it will take more than ten days, such a long time, anything can happen.

If Sun Hao knew, he also had great talents, and he took over the throne smoothly not long after taking the throne, and even in order to consolidate his power, he directly killed his father-in-law who helped him ascend the throne to deter the ministers.

If you know that the remnants of the Tao family have escaped, they must have done nothing and killed them all, and now they are just copying the Tao family of Jianye, even if the Tao family has found reinforcements, it will be useless.

"Brother Xian, don't be so flustered, are you the only one?"

At this time, Li Mi was beside him, and suddenly asked.

The matter of the deal with the Tao family was supervised by Li Mi himself, and Huo Yi, the governor of Nanzhong, sent someone to assist.

"My second brother ran overnight from Jianye, for three days and three nights, notified me to take refuge, and escorted me north along the way, I have arrived in Hanzhong, but I have been running for more than ten days, and I am tired of the rain on the road, and I ask Your Majesty to save my family."

Yang Yi sat on the chair, leaned over to listen, but did not speak, waited for a moment, and said: "I will find a way to do this, it is not a matter for you to be like this now, in this way, come here, send Tao Qing down to rest for a while, and pass on the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat it, I will convene the ministers today to discuss this matter." ”

"By the way, ladies and gentlemen, this news will be blocked first, don't say more to the outside world."

Seeing that Yang Yi refused to agree to send troops to rescue immediately, Tao Huang seemed to have a fire burning in his heart, and he was about to erupt fire, and wanted to stand up and scold Yang Yi for being ruthless and unjust, but he was finally still sensible, gritted his teeth and endured it, so he had to give up his hand with hatred and go down.

Seeing him leave like this, Yang Yi was a little unhappy, Tao Huang's mood, she understood, if her biological father was captured, life and death would be the same situation.

Of course, in this life, if you dig deeper, Yang Yi's situation is similar to Tao Huang, Liu Chan was taken captive, and there are brothers and sisters, in addition, the mother of this body, who does not want to be humiliated, but committed suicide.

In this case, Yang Yi naturally did not forget the Northern Expedition, and the upper and lower levels would not stop it because of the difficulties of people's livelihood, after all, this is a family hatred and a national hatred, how can it not be revenge?

Yang Yi's revenge is also a process of seizing the world, and it is also consistent with the interests of all the ministers and generals of Yan Han, and there is a hope of achieving such a goal.

But at this time, the war against Sun Wu was still a mere Tao, and it is unknown how useful Tao's is today, besides, Sun Wu has no Tao, and there are other families.

In such a big Jiaozhou, there are always people who are willing to do this business, and now that Huo Yi's strategy is basically completed, and two counties have been established in Jiaozhi, many things no longer need to rely on Tao.

And Yang Yinai is the lord of the Yanhan Dynasty, which involves military and political affairs, Tao Huang wants to plead with a promise to send troops, does this mean that Tao Huang is confused, or is Yang Yi a confused worm?

However, considering that after all, Tao Huang was related to his father and family, and it was understandable that he was anxious, so after thinking about it, forget it, and ordered: "Ladies and gentlemen, let's discuss this matter here." ”

At this time, Liu Ling originally wanted to leave, but couldn't find a chance, so she hurriedly bowed her hand: "Your Majesty has something, then Xia Qing has retired." ”

"Hey, brother, please take care of yourself, I'm in a mess now!" Yang Yi said, watching Liu Ling leave, but his expression was not panicked.

This matter is really nothing, but what Yang Yi cares about is not this, but Sun Wu's change of attitude, does this mean that Sun Wu and Cao Wei converge again?

Just like in the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an, he blatantly betrayed the alliance and raised troops to attack, causing the middle way to collapse before Liezu started his business.

The room was silent, Yang Yi didn't care, and said, "Let's all sit down and talk, there are no outsiders here, you just have to talk straight." ”

She also knew the worries of these courtiers, after all, this matter is very similar to Yan Han now, the Jin State arrested Liu Chan and others, but it was not simply raised, for example, it has sent envoys several times to threaten Yan Han to withdraw from Nanxiang County, Dongsan County, and Liangzhou, otherwise he would have to do what Liu Chan would do.

There are some other conditions, such as the surrender of some prisoners.

It's just that Yang Yi has a strict order to the generals and ministers on the front line, but whenever the envoys of the Wei State arrive, they will all be shot, no matter who they are, those who dare not shoot will be punished for rebellion.

Of course, Wei also sent an envoy to sneak in secretly and then announce the identity of the envoy, but he could not escape being killed, and blatantly and unilaterally refused the official communication channel with Wei to show that "Han and thief are not separated".

After Yang Yi finished speaking at this time, he turned his face, sat down on the chair, served tea, and saw that no one had spoken, so he couldn't help but smile, and first asked: "This year's autumn harvest has passed, how is the situation in the farmland and various warehouses?" ”

Ma Ting hurriedly bowed and said: "Your Majesty, because of the previous order of Your Majesty, most of the household registrations have been checked, and there are more than 100,000 hidden households, and now there are 1.7 million households in our country, about 7.3 million people, and the wasteland reclaimed everywhere has also been reclaimed, but most of the prefectures and counties are still scarce. ”

"The harvest of this year's summer harvest and autumn harvest is good, but the time for cultivation is still short after all, due to the expansion of armaments and warfare, there is not much surplus grain flowing to the people, through the purchase of foreign grain by merchants, used for reserves, the price of grain has also risen to 23 silver!"

"The treasury of the counties is not full, but there is a surplus, and in the border states and counties, nearly half of the grain has been accumulated in the big cities, and the small cities have at least ten days of grain reserves."

The granary of the big city is full of savings to ensure food from January to January and a half, and the small city is a month, such a long time, basically it is guaranteed that everything can be coped.

Just like last year, Guan Yi guarded Nanxiang County, and finally abandoned the city, not because he couldn't resist, but because he had no grain in stock, he could only withdraw, and there were no reinforcements in the rear for the time being, but he withdrew to the bank of the Han River, and stopped.

second, there is a small city on the north bank, which has never run out of food, and is still fighting against Wei thieves; After that, Yang Yi brazenly turned to fight for thousands of miles, and the first battle broke up the 100,000 Wei army, regained the lost territory, and played a year of peace.

The problem now is transshipment, and now the counties near the Northland do not store more grain and grass for the time being, but directly transport it to the Northland counties, and the surplus grain and grass from the southern counties are transferred to the states and counties near the Northland.

Of course, there is also the spilling of money, with the power of Wei and Wu, to transport grain and grass, Wei State dares to do this kind of business is still few, but Wu State, as an ally, is inconvenient to prohibit, from Jingzhou to the north, from Nanjun to the three counties, from Jiaozhou to Nanzhong, these three lines, are also a lot of contributions.

Yang Yi listened at this time, just nodded, and asked again: "What about military intelligence?" ”

At this time, Li Mi said:

"Your Majesty, the recruit battalions and guard battalions of each county are training during the slack time, and the recruit battalions have already been in three batches, and the first batch of guard battalions will begin to be screened next month, and at least half of the regular soldiers can be screened out, and then trained, and by the Spring Festival next year, there will be almost 10,000 more capable soldiers in the counties."

"According to the information collected by the Armor Division, a total of 3,000 sets of plate armor, 1,000 sets of chain armor, 1,200 sets of Mingguang armor, 5,000 sets of paper armor, and 7,000 sets of rattan armor have been made from this year to this month, and it is expected that by the end of next year, a total of 50,000 sets of armor will be able to be made."

When Yang Yi heard this, his face changed from solemn to relaxed, and he nodded and said: "Very good, I am very happy to hear it, with this confidence, I can consider using soldiers to fight, now you talk about it, what should I do about this?" ”

Several Hanlin pondered for a moment at this time, and when they saw Yang Yi's bright eyes, they had to speak.

Ma Ting could only speak first: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this use of troops lies in the accumulation of thick hair, the minister said something offensive to Tianyan, Your Majesty has ruled the country for less than two years, even if there is the protection of God, but this savings, it will take a while, after next year's summer harvest, this will be three harvests, and the hearts of the upper and lower levels will also be stable, and now is not the time to send troops." ”

Ma Ting must first say that this is the number one person in his Hanlin Bachelors, it must be so, otherwise this first position will be given up, it seems that several people are happy, but if he dares not to speak, there will inevitably be people rushing to speak.

"Isn't it the right time? The people's hearts are not stable, the army's hearts are not united, and now the recruits of the various armies seem to be well-trained, but they don't have half a year of barracks life, and they will be chaotic as soon as they go into battle! ”

At this time, Chen Shou also hurriedly said: "Besides, how can we fight with Wu Guo?" Wei and Wu originally had a thicker foundation than ours, and we and Wu were still allies; Not to mention this, in order to fight, you must also decide which opponent is and which one is the target?

Re-Xing Yanhan, this key place in the world, can Wu State occupy a place now? Now our country is just a corner, if you want to compete for the world, not to go east or north, but this Jingzhou and Guanzhong, which is easy to pull out?

Just said that in this pass, the business has been for a long time, and this carelessness will force that Zhonghui to merge with the Sima clan, if it is to fight Jingzhou, it will force Sun Wu and Cao Wei to unite, and at that time I am afraid that our country will face an ambush on all sides! ”

Speaking of this, he exhaled a breath, and Chen Shou resolutely said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this Tao family's matter is not suitable to move troops at this time!" ”

"Your Majesty Mingjian!" Du Zhen also had to speak at this time, and said: "The words of the two Hanlin are really practical words, at this time, whether inside or outside, it is not suitable to use troops, but you can't refuse it in one bite." ”

"After all, this Tao has asked for our country, if Your Majesty breaks it off, it will hurt benevolence."

Du Zhen said again: "The minister thinks that this matter should be divided into public and private affairs. ”

"This great cause is naturally a public matter, and this Tao family's business, to put it bluntly, is a private matter, after all, his family is just doing some business for our country; For this family, when the foundation is unstable, if you brazenly raise troops, you are only afraid of the heroes of the world, not only will not feel that Your Majesty is benevolent, but will abolish the public because of private interests and laugh for the world; How to deal with this matter, the minister thinks that it can be done in two steps. ”

"Oh, which two steps?" Yang Yi clapped his hands and asked.

"First, Your Majesty can personally write a letter to Sun Hao, the lord of Wu, with sincere words, praising the lord of Wu as a hero in the world, and the old woman should be innocent, and can be pardoned to show benevolence, and also point out that this Tao family does things for our country, and if you can not kill, try not to kill, and ask Lord Wu to keep the way back, this letter does not need to be clear, there is no need to be a threat, there is this meaning, and this letter can also make everyone in the world praise Your Majesty's virtue and reason, and have a benevolent heart!"

Speaking of this, Yang Yi couldn't help but clap his hands and exclaimed: "That's right, what about the second?" ”

"The second is that the lord can secretly send personnel and secretly offer a reward to save the Tao family, which is done, naturally it is a great good, and if it is not successful, it is also a matter of personnel."

At this point, the decision has been made, and the hall was silent for a while, and only the stars and raindrops could be seen falling through the window.

Yang Yi sat upright on the chair, looked into the distance with a pair of eyes, and sighed after a while: "That's right, I secretly offer a reward, if I can rescue Tao Han, or reward the fifth level, or a reward of ten thousand gold!" ”

"Your Majesty is wise." At this time, several people in the audience saluted together.
