After Bu Lugen bid farewell to Lite merchant, he walked aimlessly along the market. He bought a lot of things, including sugar figurines, puppets, and mustard cakes, and even bought a bag of cloth.

In the end, Bu Lugen came to a conclusion that the food in Chang'an City was already very sufficient, otherwise a pound of Hubing would cost two yuan and a piece, and after walking around a dozen Hubing, the most expensive one would only cost three Wen At that time, Bu Lugen had to believe that there was absolutely no shortage of food in Chang'an City.

When Bu Lugen was holding the lamp, he seemed to walk aimlessly to Yicui Tower.

He directly ignored the enchanting figure and seductive dance of the Kucha musician and the Persian dancer, and slowly walked into the private room near the window on the third floor.

Gently knock on the door, three long and two short, three short and two long.

Finally Yajian opened from the inside. The famous and charming dancer waved to him.

Bu Lugen looked at the whole body huddled in the black cloak, and said directly: "The news is wrong, there is no shortage of food in Guanzhong, you dare to deceive our great Khan, you will pay for your stupidity..."

Before the word "price" came out, a gleaming horizontal knife was pressed against his neck.

"You'd better put away your airs as a national teacher, this is not Turkic, this is Chang'an, not a place for you to run wild!"

The man in black turned around, and it was none other than Yu Wenhuaji.

Yu Wenhuaji looked at Bu Lugen, and said slowly: "Don't force me to kill you!"

Chapter 21 If I want to kill you, how can your head rest

Chapter 21 If I want to kill you, how can your head rest

"Chang'an in Guanzhong, the current situation is different from the information we have received. You must explain to the great Jieli Khan!" With the killing intent, he finally gave up.Although the words were blunt, the attitude softened.

Yu Wenhuaji said lightly: "You know what a fart, this is just an illusion!"

"Illusion?" Bu Lugen said suspiciously: "These Chang'an pancakes are only two yuan a piece, and you can drink wine and eat meat as you like. Is this what you call famine?"

Bu Lugen's words were like a sharp dagger, stabbing Yuhuahua and the softest part of his heart.

The food war is Yu Wenhuaji's most proud masterpiece. Because of the drought in Guanzhong this year, it is inevitable that there will be a shortage of food.As early as last year when Fu Gongyou rebelled, Yu Wenhuaji guessed that the problem of the Jianghuai army's rebellion would be the same as that of Liu Shishan's rebellion in Hebei.

On the surface, Liu Shishan and Fu Gongyou are ambitious, but in fact, Genyuan is the family leader of Hebei and the Jianghuai family, bargaining with the court. This matter is still on the table for negotiation in the end.

So at that time, Yu Wenhua and the family members of Guanzhong began to cooperate secretly. At that time, Yu Wenhua and Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng's plan were to lose both sides. In the end, the throne was cheaper than Li Yuanji. In this case, Datang will become the same as the Eastern Jin Dynasty The puppet of the aristocratic family, the emperor is just a Bodhisattva in the temple, a decoration.The imperial power, military power, and financial power are all in the hands of the aristocratic families in Guanzhong.

Yu Wenhuaji's plan was good, but the result was beyond his expectation. Li Shimin failed unexpectedly. Chen Ying stepped forward to prevent Fang Xuanling and Duan Zhixuan from taking Nanya and controlling the Zhengshitang. The prisoner army, which was going to be used to control Chang'an, was strangled in the bud before it could form an army.

Li Shimin failed, and Li Jiancheng became the new emperor.Yu Wenhua and the family members of the Guanzhong family had no choice but to use their tactics to short the grain market. Three or four million people of the Li and Tang courts were taken as hostages, forcing the court to make concessions to the family members of the Guanzhong family, forming a political situation in which the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty left Guanzhong.

However, Chen Ying was even more sensitive than Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling, and he also used his tricks. When the Guanzhong aristocratic family made arrangements, he was also making arrangements. Fortunately, the Guanzhong aristocratic clan suffered a big loss and suffered heavy losses.

The current prosperity of Chang'an and Guanzhong is based on the flesh and blood of the family members of the Guanzhong family. This made the family members of the Guanzhong family not only resent, but also hate them even more. Naturally, they did not dare to launch a mutiny, but they did some tricks secretly, such as the lack of food in the East Turks. , They support some food, the Eastern Turks lack weapons and armor, they can provide these help.

Yu Wenhuaji came to cooperate with Bulugen with such a purpose.As long as Jieli Khan can rely on his own strength to break through Lingzhou, go down Lingzhou, and enter Guanzhong, it will be unimpeded.

For Yu Wenhuaji's promise, Bulu Gendu sneered, and smiled disapprovingly: "Anyone can say good things, but although we Turkic people are barbarians in your eyes, we are definitely not fools!"

Yu Wenhua asked, "What do you want?"

Bu Lugen said calmly: "500 million catties of steel, or [-] sets of iron armor, [-] horizontal knives..."

Bu Lugen suddenly opened his mouth and asked for equipment that could arm 20 troops. The value of these equipment has long exceeded the financial support of the Guanzhong family. If the Guanzhong family is not involved in the grain market, they will suffer heavy losses. They can really get money and food, but at this time, let alone the equipment of 20 troops, they can't even get the equipment of [-] or [-] troops.

Yu Wenhua shook his head and said, "It's simply impossible. Our biggest concession is to assure you that after you break through Lingzhou, all the states and counties south of Yuanzhou can be completely handed over to you!"

Brugen shook his head and said, "It's the same whether you give it or not. Even if you don't give it, we Turkic warriors can still grab it with our knives!"

"Steal?" Yu Wenhuaji stared at Bu Lugen with a murderous look in his eyes like a wolf, and said with a sneer: "If you want to give it to you, you can get it, but if you don't want to give it to you, you won't even get a grain of food. When the time comes, once the fire is burned, you will still be unable to move an inch!"

After half a day of wrangling, Yu Wenhuaji finally agreed to supply Xieli Khan with [-] sets of armor and equipment for [-] troops.

……

Under the direction of Zheng Guanyin, the waiters and maidservants of the East Palace busily arranged the Yuanjiu Banquet,

Zheng Guanyin felt dizzy for a while looking at the dense crowd of palace people coming and going.

Zheng Guanyin frowned in displeasure, and said impatiently: "Fourth brother, we won't need so many servants for tomorrow's banquet. All the maidservants from your house who came to help can go back."

Li Yuanji said with a smile: "I'd better stay for a few more days until the banquet is over. This is the first time Your Majesty has hosted a banquet for officials, and it is also the first time for Li Jing to be hosted. Don't be careless."

Zheng Guanyin drooped his shoulders discouragedly, and sighed helplessly.

Li Jiancheng originally planned to appoint Chen Ying as the Grand Marshal of the Jingbei Army and Horses, to command the main force of the Twelve Guards of the Tang Dynasty, and to cooperate with the outside, the Liangzhou General Manager's Mansion, the Lingzhou General Manager's Mansion, the Hedong General Manager's Mansion, the Andong General Manager's Mansion, and the Western General Manager's Mansion. 45 The army is preparing to go north to conquer the Turks and settle the problems left over from the history of the Turks once and for all.

However, Chen Ying rejected the appointment, and recommended Li Jing as the Grand Marshal of the Jingbei Army. Including himself, all the soldiers and horses in the world belonged to him.

Li Jiancheng thought that Chen Ying might be worried that he had made too many meritorious deeds, and he was afraid that his meritorious deeds would be overwhelming, so he gave it up to Li Jing.After careful consideration, Li Jiancheng decided to agree to Chen Ying's proposal, which is of course also a protection for Chen Ying.

In fact, Li Jiancheng also thought badly. Of course, Chen Ying didn't want to be the Generalissimo of Jingbei, but he knew his own ability. Not everyone is the god of war Han Xin, and not all generals can command tens of hundreds of soldiers. Wan Dajun.

Leading tens of thousands of troops to stand alone, Chen Ying was absolutely unambiguous, but let Chen Ying be in charge independently. From the Western Regions to Andong, on the front thousands of miles long, the twelve guards and sixteen armies totaled more than [-] times. Two-thirds of Datang's field troops were really beyond Chen Ying's command.

Li Jiancheng ordered Li Jing to return to Beijing to report on his duties, which was actually to discuss the Northern Expedition.When Li Jing arrived, Li Jiancheng set up a grand banquet for civil and military officials.

Holding the roster in his hand, the supervisor in the hall called out the names of the officials in a loud voice one by one, and said in a melodious tone: "Duke Wei, Da Sikong Pei Ji is going to the hall!

Pei Ji Shi ran into the hall. "

Pei Ji bowed to Li Jiancheng and said, "My subject, Pei Ji, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

Li Jiancheng nodded and said, "Old Xiangguo is exempt from the ceremony! Watch!"

The servant of the Huangmen led Pei Ji to the desk and sat down.

The supervisor in the hall sang again: "Song Guogong, Shangshu's right servant shoots, Xiao Yu goes to the hall!"

"Liang Guogong, General Hussars, Marquis Zuowei, Chen Ying, go to the hall!"

"Duke Wei, the governor of Liangzhou, the champion general Li Jing, come to the palace!"

……

Li Jing entered the hall, and all the ministers sat down in order.

Li Jiancheng watched all the ministers come together, held up the wine cup and said, "I'm hosting a banquet today, all my loves, feel free to drink!"

All the officials suddenly raised their wine cups.

All the officials laughed and said, pushing cups and changing cups.

Yuchi Jingde, whose face was flushed from drinking, stood up staggeringly, pointed at Fang Xuanling and said, "The titles and official positions of a certain family are all obtained by following His Majesty, with one sword and one sword. You are a slave with three surnames. Humble, with a low title, an old man who abolished King Qin, a sinner who was pardoned, what qualifications do he have to sit at the head of a certain family at a banquet?"

Yuchi Jingde dropped the wine cup and rushed towards Fang Xuanling.
