Tiantang Splendid

Lishan Farm
Troops poured into Luoyang City amidst the wind and rain, took over the four gates, and sealed off the streets and alleys.

The aristocratic families in Luoyang City are full of mourning, and the women in the family don't know how men beg for mercy outside the city, and they don't know what promises they have made. They just watch the money and goods they have accumulated for many years being pulled away by trucks and shipped out of the city. It was like dying, crying and shouting, and slapstick.

But how can the sailors get used to these people's faults?All the family members who acted and played tricks were arrested, and they were all tied up and escorted to the prison of the government office.

The heads of each family can only reluctantly bring the money hidden in various places and redeem people...

It was not until Liu Rengui had transported almost all the money and silk from each storehouse that he could finally calculate the amount of war damage compensation.

Yu Zhining and other Luoyang clansmen were already mentally prepared for this, but when they saw the number, their hearts still twitched unavoidably.

There is almost no difference between the amount of war damage compensation and the money and silk collected from various treasuries.

This is clearly a scramble, looking at the warehouses of various warehouses to make calculations...

Fortunately, pain returns to pain, the greatest wealth for aristocratic families is not the money and goods accumulated in the treasury for tens of hundreds of years, but the real estate all over the city and the fertile land of hundreds of thousands of mu at every turn.

Although the warehouse was ransacked, as long as the real estate and land deeds are still there, it will take more than ten or twenty years to recover.

Therefore, no matter how dissatisfied the Luoyang clan is, they dare not complain. After all, Liu Rengui has not been wiped out yet. kill me...

……

Zheng Rentai watched the cartloads of money and silk being transported from the north gate to the ferry, and then shipped directly to the south of the Yangtze River, and couldn't help asking: "This is the end, why doesn't General Liu take the bottom line and scrape the wealth of these powerful families in one fell swoop? "

In his opinion, so much money and silk was accumulated by the Luoyang family for hundreds of years, and now it is considered a deadly enemy to be emptied in one fell swoop, so why leave a line?
Liu Rengui wiped the rain off his face, smiled and said, "Leave a thread in everything, so we can meet each other in the future. It's not a life-and-death enmity, so why force him to death? Besides, a chaotic Luoyang is not It is in line with His Majesty's interests, and to make Luoyang clansmen fearful, is the purpose of this behavior."

How could he kill them all?

If he is simply satisfied with being a navy general, then at this moment, according to what Zheng Rentai said, he will search Luoyang city inside and out, and then kill these Luoyang clansmen, and send the real estate and title deeds to Chang'an to become His Majesty. He Yi, as long as Fang Jun and His Majesty are satisfied, who cares about his flood?

But his ambition is to enter the imperial court, or be a minister, or Mushou. If he kills all the clans in Luoyang at this moment, the murderous aura is too strong, and the hostility is too strong, how can anyone speak for him?

For the Luoyang clan, the more they lose, the more they will understand the principle of irreversibility. From now on, they will be terrified and silent about Liu Rengui, but if they take everything away from them, they will have nowhere to go Under such circumstances, not only will it arouse the anger of the Luoyang clan, and he will take risks, but he will also become the enemy of all the clans in the world. Under the same hatred, how can he have a future?
It needs to be known that even if His Majesty today adheres to the same national policy philosophy of suppressing the clan as the late emperor, how can the deep-rooted clan clan be wiped away in one day?
After all, in the next ten years, or even 20 years, clan politics will still be the mainstream of the court...

Zheng Rentai naturally didn't know that Liu Rengui led the army this time was a means for the navy to push him to the fore, so he couldn't guess Liu Rengui's real intention of doing this, but thought that Liu Rengui had scruples and dared not send the Luoyang clan to the front Offended to death.

Liu Rengui skipped this matter, so much money and silk will be transported to Chang'an after the rebel army is suppressed, it will surely make His Majesty Longyan very happy, and there will be almost no changes in his entry into the imperial court. Luoyang's merits and virtues have been completed here.

The next step is to capture Hangu Pass and approach Tongguan.

Yu Zhining called to him, and ordered: "I also ask Lord Yan to work hard, and recruit young and strong to be trackers for the last general, and assist the navy ships to cross the natural moat of Sanmenxia."

Even though Yu Zhining was unwilling in every possible way, he did not dare to disobey Liu Rengui's order at this moment. After all, he was open to the Luoyang clan and did not kill them all. Wouldn't he die unjustly?
He quickly agreed: "There are not many young and strong people in Luoyang City, and they have all gathered to go to Tongguan before, but please rest assured, General Liu, the old man will definitely gather enough people to escort the navy boat across the Sanmenxia. If there are not enough people, the old man will go to battle in person Just make sure nothing goes wrong.”

This is not an evasion. Most of the young and strong in Luoyang and other places formed a private army and rushed to Tongguan at the request of Yu Chigong long ago, resulting in a shortage of young and strong in the city. It won't be able to last even a day when facing the attack of the navy and Zheng's private army.

But you don’t have to be young and strong to pull the tow. Almost all boats passing through the Sanmenxia have to rely on the trackers throughout the ages, so the people nearby have made a living on this for generations.

Liu Rengui said happily: "Duke Yan is deeply aware of righteousness, and will eventually admire him, but there is still one thing that needs your attention. Right now, all the slaves and private soldiers of every family in Luoyang City should gather them together and send troops to Hangu with us." Pass, wipe out the rebels. After the final general and General Zheng set off, the law and order in Luoyang must be managed by Lord Yan, so there must be no turmoil, otherwise it will affect the counter-insurgency plan, and the final general can take care of it."

As the saying goes, make the best use of everything, since Yu Zhining is now in a dilemma and has to completely betray King Jin, then he should simply betray to the end, and don't think about continuing to double-decker and attack Qin Muchu.

Now Yu Zhining also knows that there is no way out, so he can only nod his head again and again: "General Liu, don't worry, the old man will ensure that Luoyang is stable and give the general a stable rear."

There was a burst of bitterness in my heart, and I went back to the court camp after going around and around, but I was going to be bossed around by a navy general in Liu Rengui area. Why did I have to do this operation?
*****
On the official road on the east side of Lishan Mountain, tens of thousands of horses rushed forward. After winning the battle of Xinfeng, they headed east all the way to the end of Lishan Mountain and then turned south, heading south all the way to Baqiao.

Yuchi Gong led the army forward, a hundred miles away from the Baqiao, heard that Youwuwei moved to the confluence of Weishui and Bashui, as if he wanted to cross the river and go down the river, he broke out in a cold sweat.If you allow the well-equipped and powerful Youwuwei to cut off the retreat, the Youhouwei under his command is very likely to be buried on the banks of the Bashui River...

However, even a scout sent back news that Xue Wanche had brought back the troops who had arrived by the river, and even returned directly to the camp where they were stationed before, facing Chang'an across the Weishui River.

Yu Chigong breathed a sigh of relief immediately, remembering His Royal Highness Prince Jin's entrustment before leaving: don't care about the movements of Youhouwei...

Obviously, for some reason, Xue Wanche had secretly reached an agreement with the King of Jin, and it is very likely that he will completely attach himself to the King of Jin at a critical moment.

As for whether Xue Wanche would be punished after disobeying the military order this time, Yu Chigong didn't care, he led the army all the way to Baqiao, and confronted the East Palace Six Rates who were stationed there.

However, Yuchi Gong was not idle, and called his youngest son, Yuchi Baohuan, from the temporary tent.

The eldest son, Yuchi Baolin, is now serving in the navy and stationed with the army in Waguo. The second son, Yuchi Baoqi, is also in the Jiangnan army. Only the youngest son is with him all the time. This time he is afraid that the two armies will be blinded by their swords and guns, so he sent Yuchi Baohuan away. Stay safe at the back.

Yuchi Baohuan is 17 years old this year. He has thick eyebrows, big eyes, and dark face. He perfectly inherited the genes of Yuchi's family. He strode into the camp, took off his rain-soaked hood, and asked after saluting: "The general called the general to come." , I don't know what to order?"

There are no fathers and sons in the army, even between father and son, they must be commensurate with their military positions.

Yu Chigong came to the window, looked at the heavy rain outside the window, frowned and said: "This heavy rain, I'm afraid it won't stop for a while, we can't launch a fierce attack, and the Six Commanders of the East Palace don't dare to attack rashly. Day... But we can't be idle, you immediately mobilize your troops and horses, go straight to Mount Li, and capture Fang's farm."

Yuchi Baohuan was stunned for a moment, and then he was a little embarrassed, hesitatingly said: "This...isn't necessary? Although the positions are different and the enemy and the enemy are clear, after all, there is no personal grudge, and even the Hai'er brothers and Fang Jun have always been on good terms. At this time, Annihilate The Fang family's farm in Lishan..."

Hesitant to speak.

Everyone knows that Lishan Farm was built by Fang Jun alone. Thousands of homeless refugees were resettled here. He also spent a lot of money to buy a lot of land around him, reclaimed wasteland for drinking water, repaired canals, and planted scarce crops. One point became an extremely important village and town around Chang'an.

In the farm, there are the crops and seeds that Fang Jun cares most about...

Yu Chigong said with a sullen face, "I told you to kill people and set fire to them? Capture the farm and take all the seeds of the crops stored in the cellar with you, and you will return to Tongguan immediately. No matter what, you must take the seeds of these crops." Keep it well. In the future when the King of Jin ascends to the throne, our Yuchi family is a feudal side. Without these crops, how can we build a country and have enough food and clothing? The art of merchants is rootless duckweed. But these crops can be planted on the land for generations, which is enough to ensure that the future generations of our Yuchi family will not suffer from poverty."

For the corn, peanuts, cotton and other novel crops that Fang Jun cultivated in the Lishan Farm, the nobles of Chang'an have not been envious for a day or two. Now that I have this opportunity to make a living, how can I be polite?
