Dajin royal family

Chapter 152
Liu Yansun swallowed, and said: "How can I blame this old man? If Taiyuan really had food, why would this old man not give it to Yang Xiang. General Hushi, what you said is clearly trying to intimidate and force this old man. "

Li Yaoshi said: "Master Liu, we are not trying to embarrass you, but the military situation is urgent now, and we have to ask you to provide food. As General Hussars said, if the army is defeated due to insufficient food and grass supply, when the time comes Nobody can escape from it.”

Jiang Chengxiao picked up the fragrant tea and took a sip, and said leisurely: "Master Liu, if you don't have skin, how can you get attached? The army can't stop the Turks, and Master Liu's life may not be guaranteed at that time. When the court settles, whether it is No one can escape the guilt, you have to think clearly."

Hearing this, Liu Yansun's face was cloudy and uncertain, of course he knew the consequences of the defeat, he said helplessly: "I really can't afford the food, if the two generals really want to put this blame on the old man, the old man There is no way. But if there is a way, the old man will not prevaricate the two generals."

Jiang Chengxiao was a little angry, and after talking for a long time, why the old guy still didn't understand, he immediately said coldly: "Okay, since Mr. Liu can't get the food, then the two of us brothers will go to Chang'an to see His Majesty after another hard work. , make this matter clear, lest Mr. Liu say that our brothers are persecuting you."

With that said, Jiang Chengxiao gave Li Yaoshi a wink, and the two immediately got up, turned around and prepared to leave.

How could Liu Yansun really let them leave, if this matter came to His Majesty, no matter whether he was at fault or not, he would not be able to escape the crime of delaying the military aircraft.He immediately said: "The two generals, please stay!"

Hearing this, Jiang Chengxiao showed a triumphant smile on his face, and he exchanged a glance with Li Yaoshi, and they turned around slowly.Liu Yansun sighed and said, "I really didn't hide from the two of you. There is indeed no food in the official warehouse in Taiyuan, but I know where there is food."

The two masters in Bingzhou, Taiyuan Wang Wenxi Pei, are collectively known as the Northern King and Nan Pei.As one of the three leaders of the Shandong gentry, the Wang family has extraordinary energy in the boundary of Bingzhou. More than half of the fertile land, merchants, and trade in the entire Bingzhou are monopolized by the Wang family and the Pei family.Shandong gentry, as the masters of cultivation and study handed down from generation to generation, have extremely prosperous family studies, and all Bingzhou students are honored to enter Wang Xue and Pei Xue.

"So, Mr. Liu also stayed in Wang Xue for a while?"

In Yongkangfang, Jinyang City, Jiang Chengxiao rode side by side on horseback, talking about borrowing food on the road.Now there are only two families in Bingzhou who can provide a large amount of grain, one is the Wang family and the other is the Pei family. Naturally, the Pei family is not considered in Wenxi County, so they can only come to the Wang family to collect grain.

Liu Yansun glanced at the smiling general Hussars, he had never seen such a thick-skinned person, one moment he was still threatening him, the next moment he heard that there was a way to get food, he immediately changed into a self-made familiar His face really made him a little uncomfortable.These warriors are heartless and straightforward.

Liu Yansun nodded lightly, "When I was young, I was taught by a famous member of the Wang family."

"In this way, this trip will definitely not come back empty-handed. Presumably, with the understanding of the Wang family, they should be able to understand the situation at this moment. Thank you, Mr. Liu." Jiang Chengxiao said with a smile.

The Wang family is reasonable, but the old man is unreasonable?

Liu Yansun snorted, and said, "General, it's better not to be too optimistic. The Wang family is a big family. I don't know if they will receive us."

If he could do it all over again, he would never bring these two people to visit the Wang family.Thinking of the faces of the Wang family with their nostrils facing each other, he felt uncomfortable.

Jiang Chengxiao groaned slightly, but Liu Rongsun's words woke him up.The Wang family's prestige is really not small, what should he do if they make excuses and don't want to give food?Are you really going to Chang'an?Thinking about it now, the task Yang Taisu entrusted to him was really not easy.

Pharmacist Li beside him also frowned uneasy, not being able to get food would be a big trouble.

A group of people came to the palace, handed the invitation to the gatekeeper's servant and got off the horse to wait.Only at this time did Jiang Chengxiao focus on the plaque in front of Wang's Mansion, on which was written the word "Wang's Mansion", which made Jiang Chengxiao a little strange.

Generally speaking, one of the three leaders of the Shandong gentry like the Wang family has to be named a Duke of Jinyang County, so as to rectify the reputation of the Wang family in the world.For example, his grandfather Zheng Shanyuan was the Duke of Xingyang County, and Pei Ju, Minister of Rites, was the Duke of Wenxi County.Why is this Wang family so unique? Is it possible that the Wang family doesn't like it?
Thinking of this, Jiang Chengxiao inexplicably smiled.

"Does Qingque have a plan?" Seeing Jiang Chengxiao's smile, Li Yaoshi's eyes flashed brightly.

Jiang Chengxiao said with a faint smile: "What strategy is needed? The Wang family is reasonable and the pillar of the country. If they know the current plight of the army, they will definitely give generously."

Liu Yansun snorted at the side, the disaster was so severe at the beginning of the year, the Wang family didn't forget to annex the land, the relief food they provided was pitifully small, and they were fighting for a good reputation.

After a while, a middle-aged man appeared in front of Jiang Chengxiao. He had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a beard.This person's name is Wang Xun, and he is Wang Yi's second son. He is currently staying in Jinyang to manage the affairs of the clan.

After seeing Liu Rongsun, Wang Xun welcomed them into the side hall with a smile.When Liu Yansun explained his intentions, Wang Xun was a little bit embarrassed: "I am dissatisfied with the two generals. Because of the snow disaster at the beginning of the year, the Wang family has not recovered its strength until now, and there are only [-] shi of grain left. If the two generals are not too little , The Wang family is willing to contribute to the imperial court, and this food is lent to the imperial court to fight against the Turks, which can be regarded as a kindness of the Wang family."

Liu Yansun glanced at Jiang Chengxiao, as if to say: "Look, is it so?"

The Wang family said that they only had [-] shi of grain. Jiang Chengxiao didn't believe it at all. Their annual harvest was more than [-] shi of grain. This old guy was clearly sending beggars away.

Li Yaoshi immediately said: "I also ask Mr. Xun to be considerate of our soldiers. The Turkic army has not retreated. If the logistics cannot keep up, big trouble will happen."

Wang Xun frowned, and said coldly, "Do you think I'm perfunctory to you? The Wang family only has [-] shi of grain now. If you want it, I'll send someone to take you to get it now. If you don't want it, please go back."

Pharmacist Li was about to speak, but Jiang Chengxiao spoke first, "Since Mr. Xun has difficulties, we have to be considerate."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Chengxiao turned to look at Liu Yansun, and said, "Master Liu, please continue to move the people out. When he came, Yang Shuai also considered that there might be no food due to the snow disaster. Now that the situation is like this, there is nothing we can do. Insufficient, Yang Shuai said that he will retreat to Taiyuan. Since we can't find food here, we can only go to Chang'an for help."

"Okay." Liu Yansun nodded cleanly to cooperate with him.

Pharmacist Li was taken aback, when did Yang Shuai say he was going to retreat to Taiyuan.After thinking about it, he understood Jiang Chengxiao's plan, and immediately echoed: "It seems that this is the only way to go."

Wang Xun didn't speak, how could he not see that this young soldier was trying to scare him.What a joke, even if the emperor finds out, so what, their royal family has been severely affected by the disaster.

Seeing that Wang Xun was unmoved at all, Jiang Chengxiao couldn't help feeling that this old thing was more difficult to deal with than Liu Yansun.Although Liu Yansun is the governor of Taiyuan, there is no Liu family behind him to support him, but there is a Wang family behind Wang Xun.It is estimated that this old thing is so stable as an old dog because of this.

Jiang Chengxiao said: "Since the Wang family has no food, it is inconvenient for us to disturb here. Pharmacist, you go to Wenxi first to see if the Pei family is willing to share the country's worries."

Pharmacist Li nodded. To be honest, he doesn't know what Jiang Chengxiao's plan is now. He will go to Chang'an in a while, and now he will switch to Wenxi.

Hearing Wenxi Pei's house, Wang Xun's expression was slightly unnatural.But he still didn't speak, just took a sip of the tea silently.

Seeing this, Jiang Chengxiao completely cooled down, and he finally understood why the plaque in front of the Wang Family Mansion didn't say "Duke of Jinyang County".
