Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 442 Li Yang
Drive into Liyang.

Liyang is on the north bank of the Yellow River, and the Yongji Canal of the Hebei Canal passes through Liyang, while the Yellow River is the county boundary to the southeast of Liyang. It is also very close to Luoyang and the Tongji Canal of the South Canal.

Therefore, the imperial court set up Liyang Warehouse in Liyang, one of the six major transshipment warehouses, relying on the two golden waterways of the Yellow River and Yongji Canal.

Li Yang harvested and consolidated Kyushu.

Liyang warehouse is adjacent to Yongji Canal in the west and the Yellow River in the east, so the water transportation is very convenient.

The rented rice collected from the Hebei area was first concentrated here, and then transferred to Luoyang and Daxing by Yongji Canal or the Yellow River.When the imperial court conquered Goguryeo, grain and rice were transported from the Jianghuai River, first stored here, and then transported to Zhuojun and Liaodong. This is the only national-level large granary in Hebei, storing millions of shi.

After Yang Guang arrived in Liyang, he also went to Cangcheng to check the grain in person.

Seeing a warehouse full of millions of stones of grain, Yang Guang was very satisfied.With so much food, Dongzheng will not be afraid of food shortages.

"Yang Qing."

Yang Guang summoned Yang Xuangan among the officials, "I know that you have asked several times to accompany you to the east, and you want to follow your father's command of the army. But the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the food and grass go first. Food, grass and supplies are the guarantee of victory. I am now special I entrust you as the prefect of Jijun, who will be stationed in Liyang to be responsible for the transportation of grain and grass for the second expedition to Liao."

Yang Xuangan is extremely burly, especially with a very beautiful beard, which rivals Li Jingneng's.Hearing this, he was overjoyed in his heart, but on the face he showed a very disappointed look.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to charge forward for Your Majesty, rather than stay behind to supervise the transportation of food and grass."

"Yang Qing, the responsibility of supervising the transportation of grain and grass is heavy. You have successively served as governor of Yingzhou and governor of Songzhou in the local area, and performed very well. After entering the imperial court, you also performed very well in Honglu Temple and Shaofu. I let you supervise the transportation of grain and grass in Liyang because I rely on your talent."

At this time, the canal has not yet thawed, and the canal cannot be sailed. Therefore, the grain and grass in the Liyang warehouse have to wait until the canal thaws in the spring before it can be transported northward from the canal on a large scale. When coming to Liyang warehouse, someone needs to host it.

Yang Guang still valued Yang Xuangan's talent.

"I obey the order." Yang Xuangan accepted the order with a look of reluctance.

"Yang Qing, I have read your memorial, but I think some words are too heavy. Luo Cheng is no better than you, Yang Qing. He comes from a famous family and has a good family education. After all, he is still young, and he is a little proud at the moment, which is normal. I have issued an order to reprimand Luo Cheng."

Yang Xuangan was disappointed when he heard that the emperor had dealt with his impeachment in such a light and flirtatious manner. This was a real disappointment.Originally, he wanted to take this opportunity to impeach Luo Cheng.

Not to mention that he will be convicted because of this, but at least he will not be allowed to stay in Henan.

After accompanying the emperor to inspect the Liyang warehouse, and seeing many local gentry names in Zhuojun City, the emperor set off again in his car and continued northward.

But Yang Xuangan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and Duke of Chu, stayed on. He stayed to serve as an important post in supervising grain transportation, and concurrently served as the prefect of Jijun. command of soldiers.

Standing on the edge of the canal, watching the emperor's car drive away, a slight smile appeared on Yang Xuangan's mouth.

Everything is proceeding according to what he and Li Mi planned. Don't think that the emperor alone decided to take over the post of grain transportation supervisor. In fact, this decision was planned by Li Mi and Yang Xuangan for a long time. , and finally let the emperor make this decision.

The emperor's decision was actually a decision made based on various circumstances, and they had already made this decision for the emperor, done all kinds of homework, promoted the process, and finally reached this result.

Yang Xuangan couldn't help sighing in his heart, Li Mi is really amazing.At the beginning, he said that he had to stay in Liyang to supervise the transportation of food and grass to make troubles, and he also asked him to express to Pei Shiju, Su Wei, Pei Yun and others that he would go to Liaodong to lead the army as a general and let them help to speak.Su Wei and the others did speak for Yang Xuangan. The emperor knew Yang Xuangan's idea of ​​commanding the army, but in the end he let Yang Xuangan stay in Liyang.

But in fact, this is just what Li Mi expected a long time ago. He took Yang Guang's character seriously, and asked Su Wei and others to help him with the task of supervising the transportation of grain and grass, which would definitely not work in the end.But if it's the other way around, say you're going to lead the army in Liaodong, and then arrange someone next to you to lightly beat the side drums, and ask Yang Xuangan to supervise the transportation of grain and grass.

Among these two choices, the emperor would definitely let Yang Xuangan stay in Liyang to supervise the transportation of grain and grass.

Now step by step has been achieved.

It's just a pity that the impeachment of Luo Cheng failed.

Go back to the county office.

Li Mi, dressed in a green robe, came in with a smile, "Congratulations, Duke Chu, you are one step closer to success."

"It's still the master of the law, you have no plans."

Li Mi shook his head, "But Luo Cheng was not counted well after all calculations. This is an accident. Since a few years ago, this accident has been haunting us. If it weren't for Luo Cheng's accident, the twelve counties in Henan should be Rebels have already spread all over the place, and when we set up a banner in Liyang Cang, all kinds of rebels will be able to respond, but right now, there is no decent force in Henan that takes orders from us.”

Yang Xuangan smiled, "This Luo Cheng is really surprising, but under the general situation, what can he do as a pawn, and the passage can still stop the traffic with his arms? Although the impeachment failed this time, it also planted a thorn in the emperor's place." When this March comes, Luo Cheng will also have to get out of Henan and lead his troops to Liaodong."

Li Mi said, "However, Duke Chu's impeachment of Luo Cheng is not completely useless. I have already collected a lot of Luo Cheng's cross-border and cross-lines, and people are spreading them around. When we raise the incident, it should be almost fermented. By then Hou, we can just use Luo Cheng's rebellion first, and we will mobilize our troops to quell the chaos."

Even if you rebel, you have to learn from others.

At first, Li Mi felt that it was not suitable to directly play the banner of rebellion.If it is under the banner of calming chaos, you can get through the initial dangerous moment first, and you can also coerce more people in. Even if they know the truth by then, they will already be on the bandit ship and cannot get off.

"The Lord Hun has already left, and the matter you arranged before can almost be carried out." Yang Xuan said with a sense.

"Don't worry, Duke Chu. I've already made the arrangements. I can launch it when the Lord Hun goes further away. At that time, first break through Pingyuan County, and then go west. Duke Chu can take this opportunity to recruit soldiers and horses from Ji County. The command was firmly in hand, and we took the opportunity to install our manpower."

Yang Xuangan nodded, "Master, I have always been at ease when you handle things. Now that everything is ready, I will wait for Dongfeng."
