Chapter 262 Zhu Wu's Plan
Xixia is a country that has existed for more than 100 years and has its own economy, culture and national beliefs. It cannot be easily conquered.
Although the Liangshan army led by Yue Fei broke through the capital of Xixia, it is obviously unrealistic to say that this is to conquer this country and people's hearts.
Liangshan soldiers strictly followed Song Qing's instructions and have become the people under their rule. Regardless of race, they are all the people of Liangshan. They must be treated equally and must never kill innocent people indiscriminately.
Therefore, in the hearts of ordinary people, Liangshan soldiers are not great evil, and even those who have received Liang Shan's help because of poverty still feel that Liangshan people are much better than those noble masters.
The people like it, which does not mean that everyone likes it, especially those aristocratic officials who have lost their benefits because of the arrival of Liangshan's army. They always want to restore their dynasty.
Li Ren'ai's family, including his direct relatives, were packed and escorted to Luoyang. However, after a hundred years, the Tuoba family has spread its branches and leaves, and I don't know how many clans have been born.
Li Renli summoned the soldiers and civilians who were still loyal to the Xixia royal family in Guazhou, intending to drive away the Liangshan army and restore the Xixia regime.
In Xingqing City, there are also people who secretly contact some officials and nobles under the guise of direct imperial relatives and want to cooperate with Li Renli. They are constantly causing trouble for Liangshan's army, which can well delay Liangshan's people and create opportunities for Li Renli.
Among them, the most active is Tuoba Yiwen, the former Privy Councillor of the Privy Council of Xixia. Chasing Zuoyuan, he also belongs to the royal family, so he jumped up and down secretly with this identity. The restoration of the Western Xia Dynasty is on the one hand, and he also wants to ascend the throne of the emperor through this opportunity.
A typical opportunist.
At the beginning, Liangshan army besieged the city. Although there were also people outside the city, there were still many fish that escaped from the net. After these scattered soldiers escaped bravely, they were soon contacted by Tuoba Yiwen, and then relying on their familiar terrain, they began to fight guerrillas with Liangshan soldiers.
Tuoba Yiwen, as the organizer, pretended to turn to Liang Shan and pretended to be a snake, while waiting for the opportunity to steal useful information.
As Zhu Wu thought, he is not as good as Yue Fei in the war, but in this regard, Yue Fei can't catch up with him.
Although Zhu Wu's spy has been handed over to Xiao Rang's inspectorate in accordance with Song Qing's order, it is impossible for people like him to have no cronies in the secret agent, so it is very easy to get some information to fake public and private use.
The spy and the inner guard had already entered Xingqingfu City as early as before Liangshan's army invaded Xixia. Although Xingqingfu is under the control of Liangshan, these people have not been fully exposed.
Yue Fei went to mobilize soldiers and horses to suppress bandits. Zhu Wu found the person in charge of the local secret through the relationship. It didn't take half a day for Tuoba Yifang and the list of contacts with him to be placed in front of Zhu Wu.
Zhu Wu has always planned to do things, so after knowing the person in charge, he did not immediately arrest people, but ordered these people to further monitor them.
It is not advisable to beat the grass and startle the snake. He wants to further uproot all the hostile forces in Xingqing City through these people.
It was cold outside the city and unfamiliar with the terrain, so Yue Fei's anti-bandit operation soon returned in vain. However, through this incident, Yue Fei was inspired. Since then, he has often pulled out his troops for cold training in the name of suppressing bandits. On the one hand, he fought against bandits, and at the same time, in order to better adapt to future wars in the West.
Yue Fei trained outside the city, but the city was still calm.
Tuoba Yiwen knew Zhu Wu for a long time, and he had also heard of some of Zhu Wu's behavior. So when Zhu Wu arrived, he was always careful. However, he soon heard that the newly appointed governor of Xiliang had only stayed in Xingqing Mansion for one day and went to Xiliang Mansion, his governing place.
Tuoba Yiwen couldn't help sneering in his heart, and this legendary magic machine military division was nothing more than that.
Tuoba Yiwen is also a very cautious person. Although he despises Zhu Wu, he is still very careful. As the New Year is approaching, he will plan a big move to send a big New Year's gift to Liangshan people.
Burn the food and fodder of the 100,000 Liangshan army in Xingqing Prefecture.
This is not something that can be done if you want to do it. The place where grain and grass are hoarded is not only guarded by heavy troops, but also because of the burning of cotton-padded clothes, the Liangshan army has added many patrol posts. It is difficult for ordinary people to get close, let alone set fire.
They all say that they are not afraid of thieves, but they are afraid of thieves. Soon, Tuoba Yiwen found an opportunity to get close to food and fodder.
Because there were not enough miscellaneous personnel, Xingqing officials appointed by Luoyang began to recruit people locally.
Hearing the news, Tuoba Yiwen was overjoyed and thought it was a good opportunity given to him by God, and immediately began to arrange it tightly.
Tuoba Yiwen also knew that ordinary handymen could not get close to the granary at all, so he used his identity to consciously make friends with Liangshan logistics director in charge of the granary.
The main book of Yue Fei's camp is a household official, and the head of the granary is Jiang Liang, a distant nephew of Jiang Jing in Luoyang.
Under normal circumstances, the heads of key departments in various places are Liang Shan's direct line, so it is reasonable that Jiang Liang's position is not important. If he performs well, it can be said to be very promising.
It's just that Jiang Liang feels that he has an uncle relationship and should not stay in this cold northwest. After several letters to his uncle, he has no news except that he was scolded by his uncle.
Jiang Liang, who was frustrated, began to spend the rest of his time every day in addition to dealing with errands. Because of Jiang Jing's relationship, Yue Fei and the marching leader Bo can't talk too deeply about him. After all, he didn't make any big mistakes.
It is said that flies do not bite seamless eggs. People like Jiang Liang, who have gradually begun to transform, are naturally the main target of Tuoba Yiwen.
It snowed heavily all night, but it still didn't mean to stop.
In such a weather, Jiang Liang thought that Yue Fei would not be taking people to practice and was about to sleep in, but he didn't expect that early in the morning, someone would come to him to report the heavy food and fodder needed for training.
Yue Fei is a madman. He also goes out to toss around in such weather, so that he can't let people live?
I muttered in my heart, but I had to get up and order my men to deliver the grain and fodder. After this busy life, half a day has passed. Is there still a little sleepiness?
What should we do in such a weather? In fact, his work is really easy. It's just like this every day, and because of Jiang Jing's relationship, Shangguan can't care too much about him. But I don't want to develop him lazy and defiant over time.
While thinking about it, suddenly a rich merchant surnamed Qian in the city invited him to a banquet.
Jiang Liang knows that Qian Mao's rich businessman is mainly engaged in grain. Every year, he sends a large amount of grain and fodder to Xingqing Prefecture, which belongs to officials and businessmen, because ordinary businessmen can't undertake such a business at all.
This season, there has been ice and snow outside the city, and it is very difficult to transport grain and fodder from the customs, so it is necessary to purchase it locally. In this way, businessmen like Qian Mao naturally put their minds on Jiang Liang.
Jiang Jing sent his nephew here to hone, which can be said to be well-intentioned, but he did not see his nephew clearly, because he did not even have the least vigilance.
When Jiang Liang heard that Qian Mao invited him, he immediately came to the spirit. He knew that there were not only good wine and beauty, but also silver waiting for him to take.
Without hesitation, he immediately took two attendants to Qian Mao's home in the wind and snow.
After Jiang Liang left, the deputy stew manager of the granary immediately took people into the granary and came out after a long time. No one knew what they did in.
As Jiang Liang expected, not to mention the good wine and silver, today Qian Mao even got two blonde turtle beauties, but Jiang Liangmei's big nose almost came out.
The silver was collected, the wine was drunk, and the beauty also used it. Next, it's time to talk about business.
Jiang Liang immediately agreed to Qian Mao's want to sell grain and fodder to Liangshan. He couldn't do such a small thing, so he didn't have to fool around.
But he finally remembered Liang Shan's discipline and told Qian Mao that the quality of the grain must be guaranteed, otherwise he could not accept it.
Of course, Qian Mao agreed. After all, what he did was not a deal.
After drinking for a while, Qian Mao saw that Jiang Liang already had eight points of wine, so he said, "Lord Jiang, the villain has something else to ask for. I don't know if you can agree?"
Jiang Liang was holding two cow-like women in his arms. Hearing this, he didn't want to think about it and said, "No problem, I will definitely help you with your brother's matter."
"The villain has two relatives and wants to find an errand for an adult. I don't know if the adult can allow it?"
Speaking of this, Jiang Liang suddenly remembered Qian Mao's words and couldn't help but be slightly stunned. Then he said, "It's not difficult to find an errand. You can't go to my place. You know that I'm a granary. Except for Liang Shan's old brother who followed from the customs, no one is allowed to enter at all."
"Actually, I didn't go directly. Didn't the government recruit a group of handymen a few days ago? Adults just need to transfer them to you."
"No, no, everything else is negotiable. I can't help you with this matter. You know that there is still a marcher above. Only when he nod can I enter here."
Jiang Liang still shook his head and said.
Seeing that Jiang Liang still refused to go, Qian Mao's face couldn't help but change, and he said with a cold smile, "Lord Jiang has got a lot of benefits from me, right?" Why don't you even help with this little favor?
Hearing Qian Mao's words, Jiang Liang woke up a lot. He struggled to sit up from the arms of the two women and said calmly, "Are you threatening me?"
At this time, Qian Mao smiled gloomyly and said, "I heard that you have an inspection house, and your King Liang also hates the act of using power for personal gain. I don't know if the king of Liang knows what you have done here, can your uncle still keep you?"
"You,"
Needless to say, even if his uncle knows what he has done, I'm afraid he won't spare him. Unconsciously, my forehead sweated.
At this time, he finally realized that he was on the thief's boat, and vaguely, he also knew that things were not that simple.
Seeing that Jiang Liang was a little relaxed, Qian Mao became kind again and said earnestly, "Lord Jiang can rest assured that I just arrange two people to go in. When I send food to them, I will also have a care, which will not affect you. In the future, you can still come to me for a drink, and the beauty will also keep it for you. Why not? ?"
At this point, what else does Jiang Liang have to say? With the idea of emergency in his heart, he nodded calmly and said, "Okay! But you can't let them do anything else, or you will hurt me."
"Don't worry, I still want to make more money. How can it hurt you?"
Qian Mao looked at Jiang Liang like looking at a fish caught by him. He couldn't help struggling desperately, but he couldn't escape.
