Chapter 465 A niece again?

The Pinglu Jiedu envoy was stationed in Qingzhou, and Yang Guangyuan, who was frowning, stood at the top of the city and breathed a sigh of relief, because after four months of siege, Li Shouzhen still withdrew from the siege.

However, it wasn't Yang Guangyuan who repelled Li Shouzhen. This Li Shouzhen was simply repelled by starvation.

Because since last winter, Qingzhou has still suffered from floods and droughts, and the neighboring Zizhou was harmed by Yang Guangyuan himself during the Jin-Liao war last year.

Therefore, after four months of besieging the city with [-] troops, Li Shouzhen could not collect enough food and had to retreat.

"Speedy horsemen, traveling day and night, must send the distress letter to the emperor of Daliao. The lives of you and my father and son depend on this!"

Yang Guangyuan stuffed the request letter written by himself into the hands of his eldest son Yang Chengzuo, and ordered him to send someone to Khitan immediately.

The content of this letter is very simple. It is to report to Yelu Deguang the terrible natural disasters encountered in the Later Jin Dynasty, so that Yelu Deguang can take this opportunity to go south again.

On the other side, when Li Shouzhen's army reached Linzi in the northwest of Qingzhou, they refused to leave, because what could support their siege for four months was the hundreds of thousands of treasures that Yang Guangyuan looted from Luoyang, Xijing.

The soldiers rolled in the muddy water for several months, but they didn't get a single hair. They got more and more angry, and when they reached Linzi, they immediately exploded. Everyone clamored and asked Li Shouzhen to give him a reward.

Li Shouzhen was also numb at the moment. He thought that the soldiers under his command would be unhappy, but he didn't expect the resentment to come up so quickly.

Originally, he was still waiting to get to Qizhou (Jinan), and then tried to get the court to allocate some money and food, or just outside Qizhou city, a small looting to calm down the grievances.

But as long as they reached Linzi, the team couldn't go on. If they didn't find a way quickly, there might be a riot.

While worrying, Li Shouzhen's confidant Ya Jiang walked in to report.

"It's the sloppy gang who took the lead in making trouble. Damn it, they are seeing Linzi's prosperity, and they want to rob Linzi and share the property!"

Li Shouzhen touched his chin after listening. In fact, he really wanted to loot Linzi.

After besieging Qingzhou for four months, the soldiers below didn't get anything, and Li Shouzhen didn't get anything either.

"But Linzi City should have been prepared long ago, you go and see if you can fight?"

Linzi city had already prepared for the virtues of these soldiers, so when they learned of Li Shouzhen's retreat, the governor of Linzi city only sent people to send [-] shi of grain and grass outside the city, and then closed the four gates tightly.

"Supervisors are absolutely impossible!"

His confidant Yajiang was about to go down to investigate, but Li Shouzhen's secretary hurriedly stopped him.

"The Superintendent smashed Khitan by the Yellow River, and won the trust of the emperor. Now is a good time to seek to release Jiezhen. If Linzi is plundered, the court will probably regard the Supervisor as a violent person. Will he let it go?"

The words of the secretary in charge seemed to reach Li Shouzhen's heart.

His biggest dream now is to release a town of Jiedu. If Linzi is plundered, it may indeed cause the imperial court to be unwilling to release him.

The secretary in charge saw that Li Shouzhen was a little moved, and immediately continued to speak.

"Ma Huzi and others have always been violent, today the supervisor allowed them to loot Linzi, and tomorrow they will loot Qizhou again, what should I do?
And this time we had to retreat because the other generation refused to fight bloody battles. Otherwise, with Yang Guangyuan's two or three thousand troops, how could he have been able to hold out for four months?
They are not good at fighting, but they still want to coerce and lure the superintendent, the superintendent must not encourage this trend! "

"This is what he said from the bottom of his heart!" Li Shouzhen sighed, and had to admit that what the secretary said made sense.

However, if he disagrees with the opinions of the generals under his command, maybe they will mutiny.

At that time, it was not a question of whether to release or not, it was a question of whether or not the brain could be kept.

"This subordinate has a plan, please supervise and listen to it!"

A good subordinate is one who can propose an alternative after rejecting a plan, and the secretary in charge immediately has a countermeasure.

"Speak quickly!" Upon hearing this, Li Shouzhen quickly waved for the secretary to speak quickly.

"When Yang Guangyuan sees our army going far away, he must be slack. It is better for the supervisor to continue to move slowly with a large army, and secretly select elites, detours and double roads. When he rushes to the city of Qingzhou, Qingzhou can be broken, and the goods he gets can also be rewarded. Sergeants."

"Okay!" Li Shouzhen clapped his hands and laughed, then his face turned cold.

"Then take Sloppy and others as the vanguard. If you fail to fight, don't blame me for not recognizing people with sharp blades in my hands!"

. . . .

The sky was slightly bright, and Yang Guangyuan, who couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, narrowed his eyes reluctantly. The death of the family was right in front of his eyes, which really made people unable to sleep.

Now the crisis has not been resolved, because Yang Guangyuan doesn't know if the Khitan people can go south in time?

And there is another big problem. In the battle by the Yellow River, almost all the soldiers in the Pinglu Army who could fight were lost.

Originally, Yang Guangyuan wanted to collude with the Khitan people to go south and let Yelu Deguang canonize him as the emperor of the Central Plains, but now that he has no strength, I am afraid that it would be a shame to let him continue to guard Qingzhou.

In fact, if you can continue to guard one side, that's not bad, at least you can keep your wealth and family.

But Yang Guangyuan knew that this was overthinking, the Khitan people could tolerate him, and the new emperor established by Yelude alone could tolerate him?

Just when he was about to fall asleep with a lot of worries, suddenly, the second son Yang Chengxin rushed in from the door.

Yang Guangyuan was uneasy at first, and he was covered in cold sweat immediately, a carp flipped over, and there seemed to be a frightened light on his head.

"My lord, go away, Li Shouzhen is back again."

Yang Chengxin's expression was similar to Yang Guangyuan's, they were both full of fear.

The Rangers released to watch were still following Li Shouzhen's army, and Li Shouzhen sent elites to rescue them.

The soldiers of the Pinglu Army who had been besieged for four months had long been exhausted, thinking that Li Shouzhen had all retreated to Linzi, so there was no one on duty at all.

As a result, Li Shouzhen's dead soldiers directly touched the top of the city. After the gates were opened, the soldiers of the Pinglu Army knew that the enemy had arrived.

The shouts of killing became smaller and smaller, and after being broken into the city, the soldiers of the Pinglu Army quickly dispersed.

Yang Guangyuan could only take his wife and two sons to pretend to be civilians, and wanted to run out through the south gate where there were not many enemies.

Unfortunately, they were quickly recognized.

Because Yang Guangyuan is tall and has diarrhea, his wife is a little lame.

Even on the street where people are running for their lives in a hurry, it's still too obvious for a sick head and a crippled woman.

Li Shouzhen laughed wildly and rushed over. Yang Guangyuan and his son scoured Luoyang, Xijing, and swallowed Fan Yanguang's property.

As long as their father and son are caught, under severe torture, they will surely be able to extract this batch of treasures.

"Li Shouzhen, you thief slave! Why do you push people so hard?"

Yang Guangyuan was about to burst into tears. I don't know if he thought about it. In the past, he was deeply favored by Li Congke, but in the end he attacked and killed Zhang Jingda, who was sent by Li Congke to conquer Shi Jingtang, and became Shi Jingtang's accomplice in treachery.

Do those people who were massacred by his soldiers in Luoyang, Zizhou and other places feel that he is too aggressive?

However, up to this moment, Yang Guangyuan is still a bachelor. Amidst Li Shouzhen's triumphant "grab alive" words, he held up a thick stack of bank notes.

Suddenly, a frightened expression appeared on Li Shouzhen's face.

Yang Guangyuan gritted his teeth, "If you want my property, it's a dream! I will give it to Zhang Zhao in Hexi, but I won't give it to you!"

As he said that, under Li Shouzhen's extremely distressed eyes, Yang Guangyuan drenched his whole body with the tung oil he carried with him, and finally burned them together with the banknotes he carefully scavenged in the raging fire.

"You thief slave! A certain family is going to kill your whole family!"

Li Shouzhen never expected that Yang Guangyuan would be willing to exchange the goods into stacks of paper. He was caught off guard, and before he could react, the banknotes had already been reduced to ashes.

"Damn it! Why do you need bank notes!"

. . . .

The bank card received 300,000 credits!
If there is such a thing in this era, Zhang Zhao's cell phone might make this kind of sound.

In Qinzhou, he was busy with disaster relief, but he never expected that Yang Guangyuan had worked so hard for a year and a half, causing anger and resentment, and in the end it all took advantage of him.

Without the bank note, the holder of the bank note is also dead. Without the note, and without the code word, no one can exchange the money.

A total of 300,000 coins belong to the bank system developed by Zhang Zhao.

However, the problem with the bank is not small, because Zhang Zhao's bank was not established by him alone, but was integrated with the help of the existing financial systems of temples in various places.

This is not the dozens of large temples in Longyou, Hexi, but the formation of all the temples in Hexi, Longyou, Shuofang, Guanzhong, Hezhong, Hedong, Henan, and Hebei.

With such a large scale, even with Zhang Zhao's triple status of Khan, Heavenly King, and Dharma King, it is far from being able to say the same thing.

The current bank can also be said to be in a period of barbaric growth. Zhang Zhao has tried his best, but he can only hold back the right to issue bank notes, and he can do nothing else. Maybe he can slowly reform after he takes control of the Central Plains in the future.

Borrowing the power of Buddhism, Zhang Zhao is definitely not as brutal and ruthless as Shizong Guo Rong who destroyed Buddhism in history last week. He can only govern a big country like cooking a small fish, and take it easy.

And he can't choose not to destroy the Buddha, because this is determined by reality.

After all, from the present point of view, in the entire Central Plains, with a population of about 10 million, the means of production have been greatly destroyed.

There are only three groups that can provide resources for national revival: Buddhist temples, generals, and local clans.

Although the generals are large in scale and seem to be quite rich, most of them do not engage in production, and the materials in their hands cannot be quickly converted into sustainable wealth.

Moreover, they hold knives in their hands. In the foreseeable 20 to [-] years, Zhang Zhao can only execute the most outrageous group of people, and must win over most of them.

Local clans, let alone the immovable ones. When the aristocratic family system has been destroyed, the clan system based on the imperial examination system has not yet grown, and the people are mourning, they are only left with rural productive forces. Not only cannot they be moved, but they must be protected.

Then, the temple manor, which occupies a large amount of production resources, does not produce itself, and does not pay taxes, is the only existence that can kill and eat meat.

Therefore, Zhang Zhao decided to continue to let them have fun for a few more years, and after the position under the buttocks was firmly settled, he would slowly find a way.

. . . . .

The migration of the disaster victims actually did not cost a lot of money and food as Zhang Zhao imagined.

Because this is not a hike or a spring outing like in later generations, this is an escape.

There is no need for delicious instant noodles with butter bread, no need for cola, and no need for a variety of snacks.

A large number of victims only need a piece of sorghum cake (sorghum) mixed with wild vegetables, and they can travel more than ten or twenty miles.

Facing the pressure of survival, these disaster victims burst out with extremely tenacious willpower.

Zhang Zhao stood just under the Great Earthquake Pass, looking at the endless stream of victims in the distance, like ants heading towards Hexi, he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

The disaster victims who come from afar often form a group of dozens of people, and the distance between the front and back is still relatively far, so it is necessary to be cautious!

The road was not peaceful. Although Zhang Zhao also set up porridge and rice donation points along the way, most of the local officials in Guanzhong received money and food from Zhang Zhao, but they did not actually give porridge.

Some porridge givers almost always put a few handfuls of corn, plus wild vegetables added indiscriminately, the soup is so thin that people can be seen, and it is considered over.

So these victims were unlucky. The farthest from Huazhou to Qinzhou was nearly [-] miles away. They ate up all the bark and grass roots along the way, and struggled to get so far.

So Zhang Zhao personally arrived at the junction of Qinzhou and Fengxiang Mansion, boiled thick corn porridge and baked some dough cakes under the Great Earthquake Pass, trying his best to save the lives of the original victims.

But in Qinyuan County where the Great Earthquake Pass is located, Xue Shouli, the magistrate of Qinyuan County and the envoy of the Great Earthquake Pass, was not as emotional as Zhang Zhao, because their Xue family was similar to this in the past.

So for the tragic situation in front of me, I am not shocked at all, only sympathetic.

At this time, he was holding a booklet in his hand, and said to Zhang Zhao while recording.

"Tian Wang, this is the result of the statistics from the victims. From Huazhou to here, Tian Wang has delivered a total of [-] shi of grain, and it is estimated that there are [-] porridge facilities along the way.

But there are only 41 places actually set up, of which porridge and rice are not clear soup and water, and there are only three places where order is maintained.

There are nine places where they can barely eat a little rice, and the remaining 29 places can basically only be used as water. "

The generals and civil officials in Guanzhong may not know that Zhang Tianwang, the big fool in their hearts, is the idiot who sent grain and rice to them in this catastrophic year.

In fact, Zhang Zhao was using the [-] shi of grain to make a thorough investigation of the soldiers, generals, and officials in the entire Guanzhong.

In a catastrophic year, food is the most precious. Because of its preciousness, not only can people's hearts be detected, but also the ability of local officials can be seen.

For example, in the three places that have been done well, not only must the official have a conscience, but he must also be capable, otherwise he will not be able to persuade the greedy people below to actually use the food for disaster relief.

For example, Zhao Ying, the envoy of the national army in Huazhou Township, as a Hanlin bachelor, he can still do it, but he will definitely not be able to be the chief officer, because he can't subdue the people below, and there is no sufficient means to be a chief officer.

"Write down the names of the officials who did a good job in giving porridge in these three places, and even the officials are recorded in the yellow book. After taking Guanzhong, they should be reused.

Those who are barely able to do so in the nine places are also registered. In this troubled world, those who can still do this are all talents.

The remaining 29 places are recorded in the red book, which may be reused after assessment.

The rest of the people, who received my food from Daliang, did not do anything, and envoys in brocade clothes secretly visited. Anyone with bad deeds will be counted as one, and severely punished according to the national law! "

My country of Great Liang now has national laws. When Fan Zhi came to Hexi, he established a simplified version.

When he arrived in Liangzhou this time, Fan Zhi took his subordinate officials to visit most of the states and counties in Liangzhou, and based on the laws of the Tang Dynasty, he formulated the "Great Liang Punishment Law".

Whoever Zhang Tianwang wants to deal with is now acting in accordance with the law.

After giving a few more instructions, a woman in coarse cloth and unadorned hairpins and bracelets came over with small steps.

The girl is sixteen or seventeen years old, although she is dressed very plainly, it can be seen that she has been carefully tidied up.

With a small waist, a small cherry mouth, and a straight nose bridge, the appearance is a little less soft, but a little more heroic of the beauties of the Northland, which has a special flavor.

Before the person arrived, the voice had arrived, and the lips with a bit of peach blossom powder slightly parted.

"Uncle is thirsty? Nunu here has some wine, all brewed according to the method uncle said. It's sour and sweet, and it really quenches your thirst."

As she spoke, the girl took the jug from the handmaiden behind her, poured a full bowl for Zhang Zhao, and handed it over while holding it.

Before Zhang Zhao reached out to pick it up, Zhang Liecheng who was beside him saw it and was about to dodge him immediately.

"Why did big brother leave? I also brought you a bowl."

This big brother is not the sweet and greasy name of later generations, but a normal one.

Because Zhang Liecheng is the eldest among Zhang Zhao's five foster sons.

And Yelu Abri, a girl from the northern country, often regarded herself as a niece who was synonymous with a righteous daughter, so naturally she wanted to call Zhang Liecheng a big brother.

However, Zhang Liecheng knew very well that this little girl was just pretending to be gentle, and she had a very pungent temper.

In addition, she is Zhang Zhao's certified jade girl, and the monks in the country dote on her very much, and they are the most mischievous.

And this little girl still has a wish, that is, she has always wanted to marry 'uncle' Zhang Tianwang, and she often asks Zhang Liecheng to give her an idea.

But Zhang Liecheng didn't dare to care about this matter, so he couldn't hide all the time. He drank the wine Yelu Abri handed him in two gulps, turned around and slipped away.

Zhang Zhao was also a little embarrassed, because Yelu Aburi was originally a hidden move laid by him.

But at that time, he thought too much about the strength of the Khitan people, and then he didn't expect that he developed so smoothly, and became brothers with Yelu Deguang, which made Yelu Abli his niece.

This is so weird, Zhang Zhao was a little puzzled, why did the five or six people in the harem, except for Guo Wan'er and a few others, basically have ethical issues with him when he traveled through time travel?
It's either my aunt or my niece, what a nuisance!real!
If this is beneficial, this kind of unrelated niece will be accepted if she keeps it, what's the matter?

But now, there seems to be no benefit in accepting Yelu Abri, and Zhang Zhao doesn't want to do it if he wants to be inferior to Yelu Deguang.

But he didn't do it, Yelu Abuli didn't want it, Zhang Zhao thought the little Khitan girl in front of him was a kitten.

But in fact, what was in front of him was a thorny rose with a strong desire for power.

Perhaps stimulated by his father Yelube's loss of power, Yeluabli attached great importance to power.

And she is not alone, her cousin Yeluhe and Mu Shunyi, a loyal minister of Dongdan Kingdom, followed her to Liangguo.

After Yelubei was killed, Yelubei's son Yeluruan and others were put under house arrest by Shi Jingtang instructed by Yelv Deguang, and the rest of the Dongdan soldiers all ran to Liangguo, and there are now more than [-] people.

Although Zhang Zhao incorporated them into Hanhai Town and allocated a place for them to garrison, he did not trust them and never brought them with him on the battlefield.

These soldiers from the Dongdan Kingdom were similar to the warriors from the Central Plains. They were all crude embryos who could only draw knives and cut people. They couldn't go to the battlefield, and they didn't have rewards and military pay. Naturally, they lived a miserable life.

Now they are all counting on Yelu Abuli to be brought into the harem by Zhang Zhao, so as to gain trust, become Zhang Zhao's confidant, and make great achievements.

Therefore, recently in Liangzhou, a 16-year-old niece has been chasing after a 31-year-old uncle. The key real queen Cao Nineniang Yanxi is not annoyed at all.

Because in her opinion, since Yelu Abuli was abducted to Liangzhou when he was only nine years old, he would definitely sleep in Zhang Zhao's bed.

How could the Jade Maiden of the reincarnation holy king marry someone else instead of serving the holy king?
Yelu Abuli secretly rejoiced, she ran from Liangzhou to Dazhen Pass, didn't she just want to find a chance to be alone with Zhang Zhao, and then "make a move"!

Zhang Tianwang is very busy on weekdays, and it is not easy to meet each other.

Therefore, Yelu Abli stood next to Zhang Zhao unceremoniously, blinking his big flickering eyes, as if he was letting you taste it.

"Is uncle staying at Dazhenguan today? Nunu saw that uncle has been working hard, so he made some small dishes, and I will invite uncle to taste one or two later."

Just as Zhang Zhao was about to answer, suddenly there was smoke and dust in the distance, and several urgent envoys with red triangular flags on their backs came from a distance. Seeing this, Zhang Zhao took the opportunity to go to the gate.

Seeing that the cooked duck flew away again, Yelu Abri behind him almost burst into tears. With such a good opportunity, he left again without saying a word.

"Au Gu, I don't think it's that troublesome. Why don't you go directly to the Heavenly King's tent tonight to ask for an interview. Once summoned, you will take off your clothes and crawl under the quilt. I won't believe it. The Heavenly King can resist it!"

The maid behind her was also from Dongdan Kingdom, and her tactics for dealing with men were a bit rough, but Yelu Abri listened to it.

She gritted her teeth with tears in her eyes, and decided not to pretend to be a little sheep, and just went straight to it!

　Urgent business trip, just took the time to come out, update tomorrow, probably at night.
