It’s hard to break a phoenix’s destiny

Chapter 630: Heart to Heart, No Need to Ask

This matter is difficult to handle. Liang Wenbao has been pretending that there are bandits harassing Fengyang City for so many years, and has killed many generals who came to suppress the bandits. Even if these people may not have good intentions, they are still under the banner of helping Fengyang City.

Yang Xianrong glanced at Liu Yao and asked, "How are you going to deal with this matter?"

In fact, this was the first time that Yang Xianrong and Liu Yao faced this matter together, and Liu Yao had absolute right to speak. Yang Xianrong was just an assistant, just like before, whether she assisted Sima Zhong or Sima Ying, her role was to find out the truth of the matter, but what to do next was the problem of the parties involved.

Yang Xianyong didn't say anything, just looked at Liu Yao.

For a moment, Liu Yao was really at a loss. Because he didn't know there were so many twists and turns behind the scenes, and Yang Xianrong and Yang Xianyong had never revealed a word before. Now, he stared at Liang Wenbao who was crying bitterly, and suddenly found that his soldiers actually listened to Yang Xianrong's command.

Even if he had said that Yang Xianrong's words were equal to his, looking at it this way, this group of people were conscious and even willing to listen to Yang Xianrong's words. Thinking about it again, it was right. Yang Xianrong had helped him get out of the bamboo forest before, and knocked down the crown prince in Pingyang City, and even risked his life to save him. His soldiers saw and remembered everything.

They only recognized Yang Xianrong, not her identity.

"What do you think, Madam?" Liu Yao actually smiled, giving Yang Xianrong enough face.

Yang Xianrong glanced at him and said, "General, let's make the decision."

"Oh." Liu Yao thought for a moment before giving the order, "General Li, gather all the troops and attack Black Wind Mountain at dawn!"

"Ah?" Li Lianhua, who was standing aside, was so confused that she couldn't help but utter a sound, "General..."

"Why?" Liu Yao had already started to straighten his robes. "I am going, too."

"This..." Li Lianhua didn't move and continued to look at him. She couldn't understand what Liu Yao was going to do. Wasn't it obvious that "Master Feng" was here?

Instead, Yang Xianyong whispered to Li Lianhua, "Listen to the general and go quickly!"

"Oh." Li Lianhua clenched her fists and turned around to assemble the team.

Liu Yao said to his followers, "Take these people to the prison first, and make a decision after I return triumphantly."

"Yes." His close follower was naturally obedient and did as he was told immediately.

At this time, even Liang Wenbao didn't react and was blocked by the guards and dragged away.

"Madam, can you help your husband put on his armor?" Liu Yao looked down at Yang Xianrong with a smile in his eyes.

"Of course." Yang Xianrong nodded, and the two men walked into the house.

Yang Xianyong took advantage of the door not being closed to get in, and then brought Liu Yao's personal lieutenants Liu Gu and Liu Guang, as well as Lieutenant Yu in. A group of people stood in the room staring at each other, waiting for Liu Yao to speak.

Liu Yao first helped Yang Xianrong sit down, and then whispered: "I didn't hear what you said before, but now I understand a little. Madam, since you did this, let me guess what you want to do."

Yang Xianrong smiled faintly, "General, please speak."

"Okay." Liu Yao also sat down, motioning everyone to find a place to sit down. "Fengyang City is rich in resources, so it has become the focus of everyone's competition. Liang Wenbao lied that banditry was rampant and created a false impression, which stopped these people's thoughts. But Madam exposed his lies in public and captured his family in one fell swoop. In fact, she did not want his life, but wanted to make Fengyang City ours through this method, and make it our food and grass backup, and even a place for the army to temporarily rest and recuperate."

Yang Xianrong looked at Liu Yao with sparkling eyes, showing her joy.

Liu Yao smiled, "Madam is smart and was able to solve this dilemma so quickly. If we had waited two more days to figure it out, Liang Wenbao and the others would have been prepared by then and might not have been able to control everyone. Madam will be credited with another great achievement for this."

"The general is really amazing. He can see through it so quickly." Yang Xianrong was also smiling. In fact, she was a little surprised. She didn't expect Liu Yao to understand her feelings so quickly.

Now that the decision has been made, the next things will be something that generals like Liu Yao and Li Lianhua will have to worry about.

In order to make the drama more interesting, Liu Yao secretly went to the prison and explained the whole story to Liang Wenbao, as well as his plans and ideas. At this point, Liang Wenbao had no choice but to agree to it for the sake of his family's lives.

Moreover, he reached an agreement with Liu Yao to cooperate with the army to fight bandits in Black Wind Mountain for three days and three nights, and then give up the control of Fengyang City and become Liu Yao's deputy. In addition, all granaries were opened, and except for a part for the people to use, the rest were to be supplied to Liu Yao's army.

Fengyang City has not paid any grain or taxes in recent years, so the family assets are naturally very rich.

After Liu Yao explained the situation in a secret letter to Liu Cong, Liu Cong asked Liu Yao to stay here for a while to recuperate, reorganize the army, and recruit more soldiers to prepare to attack Chang'an.

In addition, he also sent his close follower Liu Guang, Liu Yao's son Liu Cheng, and his Shaoying Group to sort out the granary and other matters.

Within a month, Fengyang City had taken on a new look.

The whole place was filled with the banner of Liu's army, and there was no longer the rumored "Feng Ye" causing trouble. The militia members were disbanded on the spot and still did not have to pay taxes. If anyone was willing to join the army, they would be given an additional ten dou of grain and a gold bean.

As a result, Fengyang City became more prosperous than before, and the people had smiles on their faces and felt more at ease. Many wealthy families also came to Liu Yao to express their willingness to contribute money, food and labor.

The reason they did this was very simple - there was no sense of security in this chaotic world, and now Liu Yao had gathered 100,000 troops, which was unstoppable. In the future, it was possible that he would control the world. Therefore, if they made friends with him now, they would have some security in the future.

Just like the Huang family who raised a tiger, they were the first to come and show their goodwill, and even opened their granary to prepare a large meal for Liu Yao's army. They even proposed to give up their own house as Liu Yao's general's residence.

Liu Yao did not dare to make the decision on this matter, so he had to ask Yang Xianrong for advice. After all, she was the one who made the decisions in the harem.
