Outlaws of the Marsh

Chapter 370 We Are One Family

...

Li Cao Yamen.

Jin Fushi was blocked by Cai You, Wang Fu, and Li Bangyan who rushed out suddenly.

Jin Fushi could only give up the idea of ​​avoiding, and greeted warmly: "What gust of wind has blown the three adults to the small temple, go and serve the three adults tea, good tea!"

Cai You said: "Forget it... Good you Jin Fushi, it's fine for Li Yan to avoid us, but you are also avoiding us!"

Jin Fushi said: "Mr. Cai, what are you talking about? How dare you hide from the three adults, this official as big as sesame and mung bean?"

Wang Fu said: "I think you are very brave. We have come to you to salute you seven times in a row, but we have not seen you once. If we hadn't forced our way in this time, Mr. Jin, are you "going out and not in the yamen" again?"

How could it be possible for Jin Fushi to admit it, saying: "The few times the adults came here, it was a coincidence that the official was away because of something... They also know that there are more than 1000 Tai students, all of whom have to be accommodated by us. I'm so busy that I hit the back of my head with my feet, it's really..."

Cai You said: "Stop talking nonsense, take us to see Li Yan!"

Jin Fushi said: "It's really a coincidence that the governor is not in Seoul."

Li Bangyan sneered: "You didn't even go to see it, how do you know that Li Yan is not in Seoul?"

Jin Fushi said: "The news came back from the Nanling front that our Liangshan Army and the Taifeng Army had a fierce conflict. The governor was afraid of an all-out war, so he went to Nanling to sit in charge."

Li Bangyan didn't believe it, and said: "Stop talking nonsense, Li Yan is clearly in Seoul!"

Jin Fushi said neither humble nor overbearing: "If the adults don't believe in the words of the lower officials, the lower officials have nothing to do."

Wang Fu gave Cai You and Li Bangyan a look, and then the three came to the side.

Wang Fu asked, "What should I do?"

Cai You said: "What can we do, Li Yan has gone to the front line, we either go to the front line to find him, or we can only wait."

Li Bangyan said: "Li Yan is still designated to be in Seoul, and it is very likely that he is in his Dadu Protectorate!"

Cai You asked, "What basis do you have?"

Li Bangyan said: "His first army is still in Seoul, how could he not be there?"

Wang Fu said: "That's right, I also got accurate information that the First Army is training at the school ground of the Nancheng Military Department."

Cai You said: "Even if we know that Li Yan is in Seoul, what's the use, we can't rush into his Dadu Protectorate and drag him out, right?"

After waiting for more than a month, even the good-tempered Wang Fu became angry. After all, he was also the right prime minister of Song Dynasty. Li Yan didn't give him any face, so he said bitterly: "His If the Dadu Protectorate hadn't been heavily guarded, I wouldn't be able to get in and get him out!"

Li Bangyan said: "Okay, my lord Shaozai, what's the use of saying such angry words? Let's find a way to get this done. The officials are still waiting for us to take money and go back to send troops." !"

Cai You couldn't help but said, "If Li Yan had listened to me and brought people and things together, how could Li Yan have been so angry?"

Li Bangyan said: "Okay, Mr. Cai, Shao Zai and I have reviewed this matter several times. Can we stop talking about this matter? The most urgent thing now is how to meet Li Yan and how to get this matter done."

Cai You said, "What should we do? This is Li Yan's territory. If Li Yan doesn't want to see us, we have nothing to do."

Wang Fu and Li Bangyan knew that what Cai You said was right.

They must be surrounded by Li Yan's eyeliner.

It can be said that their every move cannot escape Li Yan's surveillance.

Under such circumstances, it was too easy for Li Yan to avoid them.

Cai You said again: "How about we send the rest of Tai students, craftsmen, boatmen, keel and supplies to Li Yan?"

Wang Fu and Li Bangyan said in unison: "Absolutely not!"

Cai You said, "Why not?"

Wang Fu said: "Li Yan dared to do that with those imperial students, craftsmen, boatmen, keels and supplies hanging. If all those imperial students, craftsmen, boatmen, keels and supplies were sent to Li Yan, we would probably take them forever. Do not return money."

Li Bangyan said: "The situation has developed to such an extent, we have to prepare for the worst."

Cai You asked, "What's the worst plan?"

Li Bangyan said: "Li Yan will not continue to trade." Then he said leisurely: "If this is the case, then if we don't send those Tai students, craftsmen, boatmen, keels and supplies, Da Song can still lose less Some."

After hearing this, Cai You smiled coldly and said, "For Da Song, it is natural to lose less, but for the three of us, what's the difference?"

Wang Fu and Li Bangyan were all silent, they are extremely smart people, how could they not understand the truth of each?

After a while, Wang Fu said leisurely, "We'll talk later."

……

Is Li Yan in Seoul?

in.

Moreover, Li Bangyan's guess was right, Li Yan was in his Dadu Hufu.

Not only Li Yan was there, but also the envoys of Tian Hu, Wang Qing, and Fang La.

Li Zhudao: "Great Governor, you must never lend money to Song Guo!"

Li Yandao: "Do you know that there is a sealed pile warehouse in Song Dynasty?"

Chen Kuopong said: "The one bought by Song Taizu?"

Li Zhu asked: "Is there really such a pile storage?"

Li Yandao: "Yes, it's just that the old Zhao's family has an ancestor's instruction, and the money and silver in the sealed pile can only be used to recover the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun."

Li Yan's father-in-law, Wu Li De'an, said: "Doesn't that mean there is no one?"

Li Yandao: "My second and third elder brothers are about to develop their influence under the capital of others. Do you think they will use this money when they are desperate?"

Because of Li Yan's funding, Tian Hu, Wang Qing, and Fang La are all more powerful than what is recorded in the book, especially Tian Hu and Wang Qing. Xiuzhou and Huzhou, which were not won, have grown to more than 70 counties in the eight states, and they are still expanding.

Li Zhu, Wu Li De'an, and Chen Kuutong all knew that what Li Yan said was good, so they remained silent.

Li Yan said again: "If I hadn't used tricks to drag Song Guo back, the army to suppress your three families would have set out long ago."

Chen Kuutong was the quickest to respond, and said, "Then ask the governor to buy some more time for the three of us."

Li Zhu also said: "Yes, Chief Governor, you can buy some more time for the three of us."

Li Yandao: "If I didn't want to help you buy more time, I could not go out for more than a month. Do you know how much it has delayed me?"

Wu Li De'an smiled and said: "You can take this opportunity to rest for a while... Qiongying is about to give birth, so you should spend more time with her, Commander."

Li Yandao: "Don't worry, we are a family, I will try my best to help you buy time... However, judging from the current development momentum of your family, I will try everything I can, and at most I can only delay three more for you." moon."

Li Zhudao: "Okay, just three months... Three months later, our three families will compete with Song Guo!"
