Monument Yangmen

Chapter 272 Let the Hero Have No Tears

To seek the throne, you need to win over many ministers, and naturally you need a lot of money to win over these ministers.

Zhao Guangyi strictly controls the pocket money of his sons, so they can only find other ways to make money.

Ma Junjun is obviously a pawn for them to make money.

It was not what Yang Yansi wanted to offend an opponent who was wise and close to a monster, but he felt a little unwilling to be swallowed up by such a large-scale of what his brothers bought with their lives.

Although the Yongning Army is only a Xiang army, the fighting will that erupted during the battle is extremely tenacious.

The [-] soldiers who accompanied Yang Yanzhao to guard the west gate were almost all killed and wounded, and now there are only about [-] wounded soldiers left.

The rest of the soldiers all died in this foreign country and became lonely ghosts.

Yang Yansi didn't want to see that these people sold their lives to the court, and in the end, his family still didn't get any compensation.

Yang Yansi didn't even want to see their parents, wives and children in the land of Jiaozhi, following the captives of the bandits to seek a living in Jiaozhi, just like refugees.

The heroes fought for the country and shed their blood, and their parents, wives and children should not be allowed to shed their tears along with them.

In the Song Dynasty, after the heroes shed their blood, their parents, wives and children followed suit, which is a common occurrence.

Yang Yansi is still a small person and cannot change the overall situation.In this matter, he can only work hard to change the small situation within his own power.

Let the heroes have no tears.

It's not about planning, it's not about profit, it's not about politics, it's not about fame.

Just for peace of mind.

At this point, Yang Yansi stared at Ma Canjun, and said coldly: "I don't care who is behind you, I just ask you, can you sell 100 million dans of grain for 80 guan?"

Hearing Yang Yansi's words, Ma Canjun frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Jianjun Yang, this amount, I can't explain this amount to the concubine."

"Hmph!" Yang Yansi snorted coldly, "People's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants. If this is the case, then the grain captured by my Yongning Army will not be sold. We will keep it for ourselves."

Cao Wei heard the words and stopped him.

"Seventh brother, for some money, there is no need to offend others."

Li Zifeng wanted to speak out, but was stopped by Yang Yansi raising his hand.

"Needless to say, I have made up my mind."

Ma Canjun's face was gloomy, "Jianjun Yang, what you did is not in compliance with the rules. And if you keep 100 million dans of grain, can you finish it?"

"Hehe~"

Yang Yansi sneered: "If you can't finish eating, I will use this grain to make wine, and then sell the brewed wine to various places in the Song Dynasty. This way you can earn more."

"Aren't you afraid of offending the Three Princes' Mansion?" Ma Canjun threatened.

Yang Yansi scolded: "Fuck you... If you dare to say one more word, I will record everything you said in the policy, and then send it back to Bianjing in eight hundred miles to ask your majesty."

"You are cruel!"

Liu E's plan could not be put on the table, and Ma Canjun really didn't dare to bring this matter to the court.

Once the bigwigs in the court know Liu E's plan, a war of words and guns is inevitable.

Liu E's plans will also be undermined.

At that time, Liu E will probably send someone to skin Ma Canjun.

Ma Canjun swung his sleeves angrily and left. When he reached the door, he stopped.

"Jianjun Yang, you are so greedy, if you eat so much, aren't you afraid of being stuffed to death?"

Yang Yansi said contemptuously: "Ma, don't treat a gentleman with a villain's heart. I won't take any money from the Yongning Army's capture. I will distribute the money captured this time according to the military achievements of the soldiers who attacked the city this time. All the dead and wounded will be generously compensated.”

The corner of Ma Canjun's mouth twitched, he didn't believe Yang Yansi's words, "Let's wait and see."

After saying this, he turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait!"

Yang Yansi left him alone, "Ma Canjun, there are millions of dans of grain in the treasury of the city lord's mansion, where are the gold and silver?"

Ma Canjun's body froze, he turned sideways, and said in a deep voice: "When the lower officials checked the treasury, they didn't see any gold or silver?"

"is it?"

Yang Yansi walked up to Ma Canjun, circled around him, and said, "Do you think I'm deaf or blind? According to reports from my subordinates, this time Li Chong was in charge of the city, and Li Huan once gave him a gift. Under 1 taels of gold, let him use it to work in the army.

Do you want to tell me that the 1 taels of gold is not in the treasury of the city lord's mansion? "

Ma Canjun clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth and said, "Yang Yansi, don't deceive people too much. According to Marshal Hou's military order, all the gold and silver seized during this march must be handed over to him."

Yang Yansi approached Ma Canjun, "Why should I hand over to Hou Renbao the things that our Yongning Army has captured? Even if he wants to hand it over, it must be handed over to His Majesty. How does he, Hou Renbao, have the right to order our Yongning Army to hand over the captured gold and silver?

As the supervisor of the Yongning Army, I am His Majesty's eyes and ears.It is the official's authority to surrender and seize the Yongning Army, and Hou Renbao is acting on his behalf. "

Yang Yansi's words are correct, the supervisors in the various armies are indeed the eyes and ears of the emperor, and it is indeed the duty of the supervisors to surrender and seize.

It's just that right now, he has already lost a million dan of military rations, and if he loses tens of thousands of taels of gold, then he will get nothing this time.

He couldn't explain to his master, so he could only bite the bullet and fight for it.

Ma Canjun glared at Yang Yansi, who was close at hand, "I don't know if Marshal Hou is overstepping his authority. The officer is just carrying out Marshal Hou's military order, please don't make mistakes."

"Fuck you..."

Yang Yansi cursed, and pointed at Ma Canjun's nose, "Up to now, you are still here to show off for me. If I don't give you a little bit of power, do you really think that I am a supervising army?"

"Falling leaves!"

"Subordinates are here!"

"Take him down, and bring all the gold and silver that he gathered here to me. If he dares to resist, or hides something for himself, he will cut off the sacrificial flag for me."

Luo Ye stepped forward and lifted the thin horse into the army with one hand.

Ma Canjun struggled and shouted loudly, "Yang Yansi, you are asking for your own death, you are bringing trouble for the Yang family..."

However, Yang Yansi didn't care about Ma Canjun's threat at all.

Cao Wei and Li Zifeng stepped forward, clasped fists together, "Supervisor Gao Yi."

Yang Yansi rolled his eyes, "Gao Yi's fart, I just don't want to see those brothers who follow us lose their lives, and in the end their parents, wives and children still don't have enough food and clothing."

Cao Wei clenched his fists and said indignantly, "If I had known that Ma was so vile, I would have killed him to sacrifice the flag."

Yang Yansi glanced at Cao Wei, "Just you? If you really kill him, your official career is probably over. Don't look at him as a small official, but he has the status of a civil servant anyway. Let's not talk about whether the people in the Three Princes' Mansion will I will trouble you, just the impeachment memorial of hundreds of officials in the court can scare you to death."

Cao Wei waved his hands carelessly and said: "I don't care. However, Seventh Brother, you offended the Third Prince's Mansion for the benefit of the soldiers, so you have to be more cautious in the future. Don't be caught by that woman, the Third Princess, or she will definitely kill you .”

Yang Yansi shrugged and said with a smile: "You don't even care, do you think I care? Don't talk about it, tonight's big victory, and captured so many things. You should reward the brothers. You can arrange it, Li and I Brother, I have something to discuss."

Cao Wei nodded in agreement, and he left the City Lord's Mansion to prepare for rewarding the soldiers.

In the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, only Yang Yansi and Li Zifeng were left.

Yang Yansi, who was in high spirits just now, frowned at this moment, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Li, nearly 100 million dans of grain and grass have been hoarded in the whole city. What do you think about this matter?"

Li Zifeng was puzzled, "I also think this amount of food and grass is indeed too much. Yang Xiandi has something to say."

Yang Yansi hesitated for a moment, "Mancheng was breached by the soldiers of the forbidden army before. With Hou Renbao's character, it is impossible to leave any food for Mancheng. It was only half a month from the time the forbidden army withdrew from Jiaozhi to when we entered Jiaozhi. Time, it is impossible to gather such a large amount of food and grass in the whole city.

Therefore, this batch of grain and grass is likely to be military rations mobilized by Li Huan.

With such a large amount of food and grass hoarded here, Li Huan must have a plan.Now that we have captured Mancheng, this batch of food and grass has also come into our hands.

I'm afraid that this batch of grain and grass won't be as easy to swallow as we imagined. "

"It's no wonder that Li Chong will fight to the death, defending the entire city, no matter how provocative we are, he will not leave the city." Li Zifeng pondered for a while, and said: "My brother means that we may be in danger because of this."

Yang Yansi nodded heavily.

Li Zifeng carefully analyzed Yang Yansi's words, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that what Yang Yansi said was reasonable, and the expression on his face became extremely heavy.

"In that case, why didn't you tell Cao Wei just now?"

Yang Yansi shook his head, "This matter is just my speculation, and there is no evidence."

Li Zifeng nodded, "I'll send out scouts in the army to find out the news."

"I'll also send some people out to find out the news." Yang Yansi reminded: "Brother Li, please remember that this matter should not be made public for the time being. It will inevitably make people panic and shake the morale of the army."

Li Zifeng is a veteran on the battlefield, so he naturally understands this truth.

He nodded and said: "I understand this, I'll go down and arrange the manpower."
