Chapter 282 Scam
Is it impossible? Nothing is impossible!
What Li Yuanhao values is not the appearance and virtue of the Yeli clan, nor is it the Yeli brothers who are good at fighting! He is so close to the Yeli brothers, after all, it is because the Yeli brothers have the ability to help him fight the country! He can assist him to reach the peak of power!
Once Li Yuanhaojue's Yeli brothers may not help him, and even threaten his status, they will no longer be brothers who burn yellow paper. Especially after this battle, Li Yuanhao will be very difficult. He has to face the coldness brought to him by no wool, but also deal with the victims' misfortune. The more he will be at a tighter view of his own rights, and the less he will allow others to violate it!
If they had a little misunderstanding, as long as they fanned the fire, the Yeli brothers would definitely be the last straw Chen Yuan wanted!
Chen Yuan’s idea was completely correct. In the future, the Song Dynasty general Zhong Shiheng used a divisive strategy to let Li Yuanhao kill Yeli Yuqi. But now Li Yuanhao and Yeli Yuqi’s brothers are indeed a solid piece of iron. Chen Yuan wants to make a crack in this iron piece, which is a technical job. Not only does it require strength, but the way to take action and the grasp of the timing are very important!
Yeli Yuqi and Zhang Yuan were searching for the traces of Chen Yuan and others. Their lives were very difficult now. If these Song troops could not catch them, the Dangxiang people would be completely lost! In particular, the letter left by Chen Yuan has now been known to everyone. The Liao people and the Song people were all watching the Dangxiang people's jokes.
Even the Tubo and the Uighurs were laughing at them for losing their princess and even letting them enter the capital under heavy troops.
The Song army was already ready on the border and was ready to welcome the princess of Dangxiang to live in Bianjing. If the Song army really sent the Yeli family to Bianjing, then the Dangxiang people, who were known as warriors, should not provoke the Song army again in the future.
What annoyed them even more was that those refugees were like snowballing, and the more they rolled, the situation was almost out of control!
Li Yuanhao wrote a letter from the front line, telling Zhang Yuan and Ye Li Yuqi that no matter whether Ye Li can be rescued or not, the first thing to guarantee is that Chen Yuan and the others must not be allowed to escape! This is what he said at the beginning that as long as Ye Li can be rescued, Chen Yuan and the others can even be allowed to leave, it has been 180 degrees! As for those refugees, Li Yuanhao hopes that Zhang Yuan can come up with a way to comfort him soon!
Looking at the handwriting with very stern words, Zhang Yuan could imagine how annoyed Li Yuanhao was now!
Of course Yeli Yuqi also knew. He knew Zhang Yuan’s predicament even more. There was a saying by the Han people that a good wife could not cook without rice. No matter how smart Zhang Yuan was, he could not produce food! Looking at Zhang Yuan’s frowning, Yeli Yuqi said, “Mr. Zhang, if not, I will write a letter to the king to explain the situation. I think the king can still understand it.”
Zhang Yuan looked at Yeli Yuqi with gratitude. He knew that if Yeli Yuqi said to Li Yuanhao, Li Yuanhao would not force himself too anxious. But he shook his head and said, "No, the king is very clear about our situation! General Yeli, we ministers, should think more about the king. Now the Song army is ready to move, and the king said that the fighter may appear at any time. If the king put me here, I must ensure the stability in the rear and never distract the king."
Ye Liyuqi was very moved by listening to it. He was moved by Zhang Yuan's loyalty. In this situation, many people in Xiang were all flirting with the Song Dynasty. As a Song man, he really admired him for Zhang Yuan to do this.
Yeli Yuqi looked at Zhang Yuan with a hot look: "Mr. Zhang, I thank you for yourselves!"
After that, it was a long bow!
Zhang Yuan hurriedly returned the greeting: "What does the general mean? Zhang Yuan was just a scholar in the Song Dynasty. If he could be valued by the king, he should repay his kindness to know his favor!"
Yeli Yuqi stood up: "The number of hungry people now is close to 100,000, distributed in Xiping Prefecture and Xingqing Prefecture, and the number is still increasing. I wonder what Mr. Zhang has to do with it?"
Zhang Yuan thought for a while, and his brows slowly stretched out: "I can't convert food to them for food, but we can convert food to them for seeing!"
Yeli was stunned when he met Qi, but he didn't understand what Zhang Yuan meant.
Zhang Yuan said: "General, I will tell the residents immediately that the food will come and designate the food release location for them to wait. In this way, the danger of *** will not happen during this period. Moreover, if those people do not run around and gather together, the number of hungry people will not increase again."
Yeli Yuqi looked at him: "This is a solution, but if you can't see the food, it will be a big problem!"
Zhang Yuan suddenly smiled: "I have my own solution!"
"Is there any news about Yeli meeting a beggar?" Chen Yuan asked his most concerned question now.
Chai Yang, who secretly entered the mountain to deliver supplies to Chen Yuan, smiled: "Of course, I have been paying attention to the things outside. In order to appease these refugees, Zhang Yuan bought a large amount of grain from ***. Yeli Yuqi knew the importance of this batch of grain and personally led the team to escort the grain. However, he did not relax at all about chasing you. This guy is more powerful than I thought. He seemed to know that we are here now, and Yeli Wangrong has already started searching for the mountains."
Chen Yuan was not worried about searching the mountains. The Helan Mountain was very big. It was not that easy to find him. He was just a little surprised. Chen Sheng had raised the price of grain to a sky-high price in ***. Zhang Yuan had calculated the amount of money he had saved for him. Where could he have money to buy grain?
Chai Yang seemed to see Chen Yuan's doubts and said immediately: "I heard that this time it was the big Dangxiang people who paid money, especially the Yeli brothers, who took out 300,000 guan at a time, and the others also took out some of them."
After hearing this, Chen Yuan shook his head: "It won't be like this! The Yeli family was burned by us. The money stored inside was only more than 20,000 yuan, and now it is all in my pocket. It is impossible for them to take out 300,000 yuan outside. Even if there are some valuable real estate properties, it is impossible to sell it in this market."
After hearing what Chen Yuan said, Chai Yang was a little speechless for a moment: "This, that's what everyone said outside."
Chen Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up: "I think this may be Zhang Yuan lying!"
Chai Yang was a little puzzled: "What does it mean?"
Chen Yuan smiled: "He has no money to buy food at all. Even if those big party members are willing to take out the money, it is definitely not the amount he said! The price of grain is so high now that it is scary. Even if they plunder their party members, it is impossible to make up the amount. He is cheating on those refugees!"
Chai Yang suddenly realized: "He is really smart in his skills. This can at least give the refugees a glimmer of hope and make them more peaceful. But I don't understand. If he can't transport food, will the effect be the same?"
Chen Yuan shook his head: "He has many ways, great officials. If you are Zhang Yuan, you know that there is no such batch of food, but you still ask Ye Li Yuqi to escort him personally. What is the purpose of?"
Chai Yang thought for a moment, but Chen Yuan sighed: "Hey, Yeli Yuqi is really a good brother. For Li Yuanhao, he is willing to bear such a bad reputation."
Chai Yang said: "What the shopkeeper means is that they will pretend that they have been robbed of food?"
Chen Yuan nodded: "It's probably true, and these guys will definitely blame us for the crime! If I were Zhang Yuan, I would transport the so-called food back to everyone, and then distribute some of it first. Of course, this food is real. At night, I pretended to be attacked and all the remaining food was burned into the fire."
Chai Yang admitted that this was indeed the best way! When a fire broke out, there was no difference between whether the grain or straw was piled in the granaries! The refugees from Dangxiang would not have much hatred for Li Yuanhao at that time, because in their opinion, their king had tried his best. Even if a certain robbery broke out, it would not turn into a riot!
Chai Yang closed the folding fan in his hand: "Then what should we do? Expose them?"
Chen Yuan waved his hand to Chai Yang: "Master, do you know why I didn't introduce you to those generals just now? Remember, now that Dangxiang business is not easy to do, many businesses are closed. Because of this, after the war, this market will be blank! At that time, I hope my products can bloom everywhere here! You are a businessman first, and then you can help me inquire about information. As for other matters, don't worry too much."
Chai Yang looked at Chen Yuan and finally nodded, "I understand. The shopkeeper's reassurance is that now Dangxiang people's shops are selling well. Good shops are available on the streets, and a stone of rice is exchanged. I have already collected a lot. Basically, we have shops in all towns in the eastern part of Dangxiang with a population of more than 5,000 people."
Chen Yuan laughed, this transaction was a big profit, and the war will be over in the future. Not to mention a stone of rice, even a truck of rice cannot be exchanged for a shop!
This is just a visible benefit. In the Song Dynasty, the current price of rice is also very high, forty cents per catty, which is almost twice as high as when he was not in the past. However, Chen Yuan could afford it, only 40 cents per stone of rice. After he bought it, it would be worth a good shop!
Of course, you must put all these visible and invisible profits in your pocket, as long as you must be the one who defeats you.
"Where is Lord Fan? Is the battle going smoothly?" Chen Yuan asked another key question. Fan Zhongyan is the main battlefield, and where their situation directly determines whether their life will be better.
Chai Yang said: "Mr. Fan didn't fight much, just some small battles, and the Song Dynasty's army did not suffer any losses. Recently, Li Yuanhao retreated a little, and I don't know if it was a trick to lure the enemy or his supplies could not keep up."
Chen Yuan thought for a while: "Maybe there are both, and his supplies can't keep up. If the Song army pursues it, it will be a trick to lure the enemy. Will Lord Fan chase it?"
Chai Yang shook his head: "No news has come yet."
Chen Yuan sighed and said, "It's enough not to chase after you. It's good to spend this way. Li Yuanhao can't waste ours. Moreover, if you win so quickly, it's not good for us. I haven't done some things well yet. Master, do you see if there are any people in this great clan of the Party Xiang?"
Chai Yang didn't even think about it: "Yes, the Weimu family can be won over. Although they are not as powerful as the Yeli clan, they have a great influence on Dangxiang. The most important thing is that they hate Li Yuanhao to the core."
