At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 240 Li Yang Warehouse (plus one update)
It is nearly a thousand more than 300 miles from Yin County to Luoyang. If you use a horse-drawn carriage, it will take at least ten days and a half months to get there.Let's say that Gao Bufan and his party stayed overnight at Xiaoxing, and finally arrived near Liyang warehouse in late July.

It is said that there were abundant granaries in the Sui Dynasty, and most of them were built near the canal. Among them, the granaries in Luoyang, the eastern capital, were the densest, including Heyang granary, Xingluo granary, Luokou granary, Huiluo granary and Hanjia granary. The granaries are all large granaries that store more than one million stones. In addition, there are Taicang, Guangtong, and Changping granaries beside the canal between Chang'an and Luoyang. Didn't run out, pretty amazing.

Judging from the food reserves alone, the national strength of the Sui Dynasty can be seen. Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, handed over an extremely prosperous and powerful country to Yang Guang. As a result, Yang Guang not only failed to keep it, but also lost it in just a dozen years. It really makes people sigh.

Liming Yangcang is located in Liyang County, which is now Junxian County, Henan Province. It was established in the reign of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty and has been used until the Northern Song Dynasty. The Wagang Army is the closest, so it will be the first official warehouse to be breached by the Wagang Army in the future, and the strength of the Wagang Army has also skyrocketed because of this.

Of course, Wagang's Zhai Rang is not yet strong enough to capture Liyangcang. At this time Xu Shiji and Shan Xiongxin and other talents have just joined Zhai Rang and have not exerted their strength yet. When Li Mi joins, Wagang's strength has also reached its peak. It's a pity that Li Mi made a foolish move, killing Zhai and letting Jiu occupy the magpie's nest, which caused the hearts of the people to be separated, and finally suffered a crushing defeat.

Let’s say that Gao Bufan and his party arrived near Liyang Cang and saw the frequent traffic of tank boats on the canal. The officers and soldiers were stepping up to transport the grain from Liyang Cang to Zhuojun to prepare for Emperor Yang Guang’s second Eastern Expedition.

Presumably for safety reasons, officers and soldiers set up checkpoints at all intersections near Liming Warehouse to prevent thieves and spies from sneaking in.Gao Bufan and the others were also stopped. The officers and soldiers checked their identities and were about to let them go, but an officer came over and said coldly, "Have you checked the carriage?"

The soldier in charge of the inspection smiled and said: "Marshal Ding, this Mr. Gao is the new supervisor of Zhuojun County. He is going to report to the Ministry of Officials. He is not a villain."

This Ding Lushuai scolded with a straight face: "Nowadays, rebels are rampant in Wagangzhai, and Xu Shiji, the dog-headed military strategist, is even more cunning like a fox. People are hard to guard against. The Duke of Chu has ordered that no matter who they are, they must be strictly inspected. What are you? Things, if you dare to disobey Duke Chu’s order, you will not be able to bear the responsibility if something goes wrong?”

The little soldier was so scared that his face turned green, he quickly apologized, and smiled at Gao Bufan: "Forgive me, Mr. Gao, it's a small routine, and the carriage needs to be checked."

Naturally, Gao Bufan would not be in trouble with a soldier, nodded and smiled and said: "Understood, but there are female relatives in the carriage, let me say hello first."

Xiaobing hurriedly bowed his hands and said yes, secretly thinking that this young man has a good temper.

Gao Bufan walked to the carriage and greeted the pretty maid inside, Ming Cui raised the curtain and got out of the carriage, the soldier glanced at the carriage, found no one else, so he waved and said: "No problem ,pass!"

Unexpectedly, that Lushuai Ding seemed to have hooked up with Gao Bufan, and shouted: "Wait a minute, what's in the box? Open it and check."

Gao Bufan frowned and said, "It's just some clothes and soft gold and silver."

"That also needs to be checked." Ding Lushuai's face was dark, probably because he looked at a rich man like Gao Bufan, the boyish face was not pleasing to the eye, and he deliberately made things difficult.

Gao Bufan's heart skipped a beat. The gold and silver in the box were snatched by Dou Jian. The origin is unknown, so it's not easy to explain. If there are obvious features that are recognized, wouldn't it be bad?

Brothers Gao Shixiong and Gao Shiheng have hot tempers, and they have been upset for a long time. Hearing this, he sneered and said, "You kid is that onion? Aren't you just a clan commander in charge of 200 people, pretending to be a big-tailed wolf, do you think I, the Bohai Gao family, are good?" Bullying? Our boss has made great achievements in the Liaodong campaign, and even the emperor personally summoned him to make him the shepherd supervisor of Zhuojun County. Why do you, a little brigade commander, deliberately make things difficult for you?"

Ding Lushuai's complexion changed slightly. He obviously didn't expect that the fair-faced boy in front of him was Gao Changqing, a talent from Yin County who has been in the limelight recently. He regretted it a little at the moment, but at this time he couldn't admit his cowardice, and said coldly: "I don't care if you are Anyone who passes the customs must be inspected, this is the order of Chu Guogong."

Gao Bufan's heart moved, isn't Duke Chu the same as Yang Xuangan?Could it be that he is supervising the transportation of grain and grass in Liyang Warehouse now?Well, with this big anti-bone guy here, Yang Guang's second conquest of Goguryeo has already failed half of the battle before he sent troops.

Gao Shixiong and Gao Shiheng are currently the number one bodyguards of Gao Bufan. Seeing that the other party checked the carriage and insisted on checking the personal items in the box, it was obvious that they were being bullied. They were furious and immediately pulled out their sabers. , said viciously: "Come, come, come up and open the box if you have the guts to check, to see if our brothers' knives are good or not."

Ding Lushuai's complexion changed drastically, he took a few steps back and shouted sharply: "You want to rebel, come and catch these two lawless lunatics."

The surrounding officers and soldiers immediately surrounded him, Gao Bufan raised his eyebrows, and was about to explode when a man dressed as a petty official hurried over and shouted sharply: "Everyone stop."

When Lushuai Ding saw this person, he hurriedly ordered all the officers and soldiers to retreat, and then politely said: "Guard Fan, these people refused to accept the inspection by force, and the general was going to take them down."

Gao Bufan said indifferently: "Ding Lvshuai is really confusing black and white, talking nonsense with his eyes open, you have checked the people, you have checked the carriage, and now you have to rummage through the box and cabinet to check the official's personal belongings, don't you think it is too much to deceive people? Ben After all, the official is appointed by the emperor, how can I let you bully me casually, you can check the box today, but if you can't find anything wrong, I will take you to Yang Shang to ask for justice."

Gao Bufan spoke unhurriedly, rationally and restrainedly, with an awe-inspiring and inviolable aura. Ding Lvshuai was intimidated by it, and he didn't dare to act rashly. He just quibbled: "Your Excellency's box is so big, God knows if there is any in it?" Tibetans, this inspection is just a routine matter, if everyone is as uncooperative as you are, how can I proceed with my work."

Everyone could tell that Ding Lvshuai lacked confidence.

Gao Bufan sneered and said: "I am an official appointed by the emperor, why would I harbor criminals in a box? You have your own routine, and this official has my dignity. You have the right to inspect, and this official also has the right to ask for help." Be fair."

Fan Guanshi rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Could it be that this young master's surname is Gao?"

Gao Bufan cupped his hands and said, "My official, Gao Changqing, Bohai County, is about to report to Luoyang Ministry of Officials."

Fan Guanshi immediately smiled warmly and said: "It turns out that it is Gao Changqing, a talented man from Yu County. Our Duke is full of praise for the poems written by Mr. Gao. We wish we could see each other for a long time. It is a coincidence that the Duke of Guo is here to supervise the transportation of food and grass. On behalf of the Duke, I have the guts to invite Mr. Gao to meet him at the residence."

Although Gao Bufan was very reluctant to associate with Yang Xuangan, he obviously couldn't refuse at this time, so he had to say: "I have admired Lord Yang for a long time, even if Steward Fan doesn't invite me, I am planning to have the audacity to ask for a meeting."

Steward Fan thought to himself that this kid is really up to the mark, he laughed and said: "Since that's the case, please come with me, Mr. Gao."

Ding Lvshuai was already in a cold sweat, but he didn't dare to make things difficult anymore, he nodded and bowed his head to apologize for letting him go, while the soldier who was reprimanded before had a look of contempt on his face, secretly said: "I knew it was so, why did I do it in the first place?"
