Cao Wei smiled and sighed intriguingly: "Yang Wenguang has been in Baozhou for many years and has accumulated a lot of family assets. Before going to the Western Regions, he did not spend any money. Now he is facing the Liao people, and naturally he can't hide it."
"family property?!"
Lu Yijian looked puzzled. What kind of wealth does Yang Wenguang have. The soldiers, horses, food, and armaments in his hand are all provided by the court. Can he still play with the things provided by the court
Cao Wei saw Lu Yijian's face puzzled, but he laughed in a low voice, but didn't give much explanation.
Lu Yijian felt like he couldn't get up and down in an instant, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Di Qing is a kind man. Seeing Lu Yijian restless, he guessed that Lu Yijian was eager to know what Yang Wenguang's family background was.
Yang Wenguang's family status is no secret, and he doesn't need to cover up for Yang Wenguang.
Lu Yijian helped him with his military merits, and he reciprocated himself, so naturally he should help Lu Yijian solve his puzzles.
"Gong Lu, Yang Wenguang's soldiers and horses, armaments, and food and wages are all provided by the court. Therefore, there is nothing special about the things provided by the court, and they are similar to other soldiers and horses.
What Cao Shuai said about the family property should be something Yang Wenguang obtained from my brother in private. "
Di Qing explained in a low voice.
Lu Yijian was taken aback for a moment.
"Brother..."
Lu Yijian looked at Di Qing and said, "You mean Kou Ji?"
Kou Ji's current official title is very embarrassing. He will drop today and will rise tomorrow. The changes are rapid.
In front of others, Di Qing can call Kou Ji once as Yong Guo Gong, but in front of Lu Yijian and Cao Wei, he cannot call Kou Ji the Yong Guo Gong.
For one thing, the title of the two of them is higher than that of Kou Ji before he was dismissed from office; secondly, the title of Kou Ji was dismissed, and it was not appropriate to call him Yong Guogong.
Di Qing didn't know whether Kou Ji's official title had changed recently, so he could only use his private address to match it.
Everyone in Bianjing knew that Di Qing was Kou Ji's righteous brother, so Di Qing mentioned his elder brother, and Lu Yijian naturally thought it was Kou Ji.
Di Qing nodded slowly when he heard Lu Yijian's questioning.
Cao Wei glanced at Di Qing and knew that he could no longer sell Guanzi, and said frankly to Lu Yijian: "Yang Wenguang was recommended by Kou Ji. Kou Ji seems to be very optimistic about Yang Wenguang, so it makes sense to help Yang Wenguang in private.
Yang Wenguang had previously served in the Protectorate Army and lived next to the Tiger Army. Some of the armaments that the Tiger Army could obtain, Yang Wenguang could also obtain more or less.
Yang Wenguang and his party from the Western Regions also got a lot of good things from Kou Ji, so Yang Wenguang's current family background is very rich. "
When Lu Yijian heard this, he was thoughtful, and he hesitated: "Does Yang Wenguang have muskets and artillery in his hand?"
Kou Ji has always been generous, but on the issue of guns and artillery, he has been digging and searching. This time the court sent troops, Zhao Zhen, Lv Yijian, and Wang Zeng talked a lot of good things to Kou Ji. The guns and artillery used in the war in the Western Regions were loaned out.
If Yang Wenguang had muskets and artillery in his hands, then Lu Yijian would have to write a long letter to Zhao Zhen and Wang Zeng so that they could squeeze Kou Jiwu.
Lu Yijian doesn't want face
In order to borrow muskets and artillery from Kou Ji, he invited Zhao Zhen and Wang Zeng to move Kou Ji and said a lot of good things.
If Yang Wenguang got the gun and artillery easily, Lu Yijian felt that he, Zhao Zhen and Wang Zeng would be cracked in the faces.
When Cao Wei asked Lu Yijian about the guns and artillery, he roughly guessed Lu Yijian’s thoughts. He laughed in a low voice: "Kou Ji, the guns and artillery are guarded strictly, except for this batch of ours. In addition, there is no other outpouring.
Although Kou Ji valued Yang Wenguang very much, he did not give him to Yang Wenguang.
When I talk about the family background, I mean a hundred tigers run together. "
Lu Yijian was stunned for a moment, and said, "What's so strange about a hundred tigers running together? Now every army has equipment."
When Di Qing led the troops to fight the rebellion in Bianjing, he showed a hundred tigers running.
After seeing the power of a hundred tigers rushing together, the civil and military men of the Manchu dynasty were very concerned about the power of a hundred tigers rushing together.
Kou Ji also promised to equip Da Song with all the imperial troops.
After more than a year, many forbidden troops have been equipped with a hundred tigers.
A Hundred Tiger Battalion was established in the various armies accordingly.
Therefore, Lu Yijian didn't think this matter was strange.
Cao Wei glanced at Lu Yijian, and said quietly: "In Yang Wenguang's army, there are 10,000 tigers running together..."
Lu Yijian was shocked for a moment.
"Ten thousand?"
At present, among the forbidden forces, the two guards with the most hundreds of tigers are the Dragon God and the second guard. The number of the hundreds of tigers in the two guards of the Dragon God and the two guards is only a few thousand. The Guardian Army led by Yang Wenguang actually has Ten thousand
Ten thousand hundred tigers rushed to the top of the city and fired volleys together. Lu Yijian could have imagined that scene.
In a volley, the place pointed by the arrow instantly turned into a forest of arrows.
No matter how powerful the enemy is, you can also be shot into a sieve.
As long as Yang Wenguang had enough arrows, the Liao soldiers probably couldn't even touch the head of Yanmen Pass.
Lu Yijian was shocked, staring at Cao Wei and asked: "As far as I know, the arrow of a hundred tigers is not low to build. Even if Yang Wenguang has 10,000 tigers, he may not be able to perform all the tigers. the power of."
Cao Wei smiled indifferently: "I don't know how many arrows Yang Wenguang brought. I only know that it is worth spending more money and killing a few soldiers."
Cao Wei stared at Lu Yijian with a smile: "I don't lack money now, am I?"
Lu Yijian said with a bit of bitter expression, "That wouldn't be able to stand up to it. One round of volley, my salary for a few years will be gone."
Cao Wei squinted at Lu Yijian, jokingly: "Then your salary is quite high..."
Lu Yijian said irritably, "Even if I have been receiving salaries in the court for a hundred years, I won't be able to beat your Cao family."
Cao Wei smiled dryly, and did not continue to talk about this topic.
The Cao family's bottom can't withstand digging, and the more digging, the more people feel scared.
The Cao family has been rich and honorable for decades and has been standing in the court for decades. Cao Wei knows how rich the family has accumulated.
Cao Wei changed the subject and said: "I heard that guns and artillery are more expensive to build and consume more."
Lu Yijian said quietly: "In the world, anyone who knows muskets and artillery, who doesn't know that they are expensive and expensive. But how many people can give them up
Qingtang and Xixia are more than a hundred times poorer than my Da Song. They are all staring at the guns and artillery. How can my Da Song give up the guns and artillery because he is stingy with money. "
Cao Wei said unexpectedly: "You speak a lot more magnificently than before?"
Lu Yijian smiled indifferently, without speaking.
The reason why he became so atmospheric is because he led people to help Zhao Zhen clean up the accounts of Yizijiaozipu.
The amount of money stored in Yizijiaozipu is unimaginable.
It was so huge that Lu Yijian didn't dare to speak out.
Although Lu Yijian did not understand finance, she also knew that it was possible to transfer a sum of money from Yizijiaozipu for temporary use for state affairs.
The court can be generous with the money provided by Jiaozipu.
Lu Yijian used to feel a bit exaggerated for Zhao Zhen's Yizi Jiaozipu. After he learned about the money that Yizijiaozipu had stored, he realized that Zhao Zhen was fighting for Yizijiaozipu. It was not an exaggeration at all.
If it were led by him, Zhao Zhen would do it even harder and more exaggerated.
Can anyone easily control so much money
Even if Zhao Zhen personally held all the members of Jiaozipu, Lu Yijian felt dangerous.
Had it not been for Zhao Zhen to be young and vigorous now, and did not show a mediocre posture, Lu Yijian would definitely lead the Manchu civil and military without hesitation, and ask Zhao Zhen to hand over the word Jiaozipu to the court.
Lu Yijian did not tell Cao Wei the truth about Yizi Jiaozipu, and the two naturally couldn't talk about money.
After chatting for a few words, Cao Wei issued a few military orders, and everyone dispersed.
A few days later.
The army led by Cao Wei was stationed in Tongtai Pass, motionless.
When Cao Wei led the army to Tongtai Pass, Mi Liji decisively led his army to evacuate outside Tongtai Pass.
When Mi Li led his army back to Youzhou City and told the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu the news of Tongtai Pass, the Liao Emperor Yelulongxu thundered.
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu pointed to Mi Liji's nose and cursed Mi Liji for a long time.
But after half a day, his attitude eased.
Why did the Liao emperor Yelulongxu's attitude ease? Few people knew, only that the Liao Dynasty inspected the horse and handed a piece of news to the Liao Emperor Yelulongxu.
The content of the news, Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu did not tell everyone.
It is just to pass the order to everyone, let everyone wait in Youzhou City, waiting for Cao Wei to attack, not to move.
The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Liao Dynasty was full of doubts, but no one dared to ask.
The Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu acted, it was really domineering, unlike Zhao Zhen's dominance that still left room.
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu wanted to kill someone in Daliao, he would kill if he said to kill, unlike Zhao Zhen, he had many worries.
Cao Wei waited in Tongtai Pass for a few days. Before the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu led an army to attack, he sent people to Yanmen Pass to check the battle at Yanmen Pass.
The people sent by Cao Wei hadn't arrived at Yanmen Pass, and the battle before Yanmen Pass had already begun.
Daliao deputy inspected Yeluye, the Twelfth Squad Army on the Northwest Road and the Relic Army of the King Xi’s Mansion led Tu Lugu, both soldiers and horses deployed Huang Pian, and his deputy Dagu only supervised Heshi, five people, and one hundred thousand. Soldiers and horses, arrived at Yanmen and closed.
One hundred thousand iron shoes of the Liao people went south.
The soldiers inside and outside Yanmen Pass were nervous.
Only Li Zhaoliang was not nervous at all, and even looked a little weird.
A row of tens of thousands of tigers rushed to the wall, mixed with crossbows, bed crossbows, and heavy crossbows. They spread from the side of Yanmen Pass to Sanguanzhai at both ends of the wall.
The scene is very spectacular.
Li Zhaoliang stared in a daze, staring at Yang Wenguang, who was standing in front of the Yanmenguan city gate building, wiped his sweat nervously, and said with a dazed expression: "Kou Ji gave you 10,000 tigers running?"
Yang Wenguang shook his head slightly and said, "Brother Kou Xian gave some, and I replaced the others."
Li Zhaoliang asked in a daze, "What is it for?"
Yang Wenguang smiled dryly: "The spoils seized in Huangtou Huihe."
Li Zhaoliang murmured: "Not enough, right?"
Most of the places where Huangtouhuihe was wealthy were in the southern border, and the southern border was occupied by Qingtang people, so Qingtang took away a lot of wealth from Huangtouhuihe.
Yang Wenguang and the others conquered the city in Huangtouhuihe territory, as if into the land of no one, they laid down half of the territory of Huangtouhuihe, but they did not seize much money.
After Yang Wenguang and Zhang Yuan were divided, according to the merits, some of the soldiers were rewarded. In fact, not much was allocated to him.
That little money is not enough to buy a hundred tigers.
Not to mention the arrows stacked in a box after a hundred tigers rushed together.
Faced with Li Zhaoliang’s doubts, Yang Wenguang could only tell the truth with a smile, “It was Kou Xiandi’s own idea to help Yuanshan tribe in attacking Huangtouhuihe, and the court neither agreed nor opposed.
I led the army to fight in the territory of Huangtouhuihe, which is considered to be outstanding, but the court did not reward me vigorously for it.
I just rewarded the soldiers under my command as appropriate.
Brother Kou Xian knew that we had suffered, so he compensated us by one or two accordingly.
Although I don't have much money in my hand, after eliminating the labor costs, I can roughly afford to buy so many tigers.
As for these arrows, Kou Xian's brother gave me half-sold and half-gift. "
Li Zhaoliang stared at Yang Wenguang blankly, "Hundred tigers rushed to you and you paid for a material? The arrow was simply for nothing? As for Kou Ji's brave temperament, how can you take such a big advantage from him
Are you Kou Ji's illegitimate child? "
Yang Wenguang's expression turned dark when he heard Li Zhaoliang's words, "General Li, my father's dead soul is still here, so don't talk nonsense."
Li Zhaoliang curled his lips and whispered: "Kou Ji is so kind to you, it's totally unreasonable."
Li Zhaoliang glanced at Yang Wenguang and said, "You haven't flattered him or helped him get any benefits. He is so generous to you? Does he think you are loyal and honest, or do you appreciate your dislike of flattering him? "
Yang Wenguang was also a little at a loss when he heard Li Zhaoliang say this.
He was also a little confused as to why Kou Ji would be very generous to him.
Everyone in Bianjing City knows that Kou Ji is the kind of temperament that plucks hair by geese.
When delivering ordnance to the court, the accounts must be made plain, so that the court won't let the court take advantage of a penny.
When doing business with Li Zhaoliang, Cao Tong, Zhu Neng, etc., the accounts must be clear.
Not only did Li Zhaoliang, Cao Tong, Zhu Neng and others not be allowed to take advantage of him, but they also took advantage of them.
For example, Li Zhaoliang's trilogy, the gold mine found outside the city of Xiliang.
Kou Ji didn't do anything, but with his three-inch tongue, he took away a few percent from Li Zhaoliang's hands.
It can be said that Kou Ji is a brave when it comes to money, so he can't eat anything.
But such a person is surprisingly generous to Yang Wenguang.
Doing business in the Western Regions, thinking of Yang Wenguang, he dragged Yang Wenguang into several of their businesses in the Western Regions, letting Yang Wenguang follow him.
Hexi was divided, and Yang Wenguang was still in Huangtouhuihe, so Kou Ji saved Yang Wenguang's share first.
When buying ordnance, everyone else would add up labor costs, material costs, and transportation costs. Yang Wenguang only needs to pay the least amount of material costs.
