Chapter 100: The evil ones will be beaten by the evil ones

When the news of Gulang Town being conquered reached Liangzhou City, Li Yuanji was busy asking Liangzhou gentry to ask for money, grain and people. To be honest, what Li Daozong of the Liangzhou General Administration left Li Yuanji was a mess.

A large number of wounded soldiers were everywhere, and there were also the food that was robbed by the Turks last year, and now everything is in vain. If all this requires money, Li Yuanji would not talk nonsense and directly summoned the gentry of Liangzhou to ask for money.

However, the gentry has always been borers who rely on the big tree of the imperial court to absorb nutrients. If they want them to contribute money and work, it would be a waste of their lives. Tubo was obviously in a big way and the troops were coming to the city. These gentry raised 10,000 guan and 50,000 shi of grain.

If ordinary officials, even Li Daozong, were not capable of letting these iron roosters pull out their roots in one sentence. Looking at the ten thousand guan of money and grain, Li Yuanji smiled coldly and said, "You are so generous, ten thousand guan of money is really small... Should I kowtow to you and thank you?"

"How dare you, how dare you!" Hu Menglong, a famous Daliang in Liangzhou, smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness the King of Qi is clear, you are not here who are not here to help you solve your problems. It is because each of us has its own difficulties..."

Having said that, the gentry complained to Li Yuanji.

What manor was snatched away by the Turks?

The plowing oxen were killed and eaten by the Turks, a large amount of fields were deserted, and so on.

Although Li Yuanji was a bastard, he was not a fool. He held his arm and sneered: "With your wealth, you can get 10,000 or 20,000 yuan in cash, right? I dare not ask for more. I just ask each of you to take out one or two thousand yuan, so that I can raise 40,000 to 50,000 people. You... are you sending beggars!"

Everyone's expressions are not very good now. Although we are just sending beggars, you can't say it. How embarrassing we will be when you say it! Zhang Jingliang of Zhang from Dunhuang laughed dryly and said, "Your Highness, we are not stingy, we are really..."

Li Rui from Shangqiu interrupted hard: "Brother Zhang, since we think we have little money, then we just need to take the money back and live."

Li Rui looked at Li Yuanji proudly and said, "Your Highness King Qi, no matter what you think, there is only so much money. Do you want it? It is natural to be a soldier and fight. You have to take money before you can go into battle? It's simply outrageous! What are you going to do with such an army?"

It is said that evil people will be disgusting. If you encounter such a situation, the general manager or the governor will have no choice but to use these powerful gentry. In terms of connections, each family has a backing station. Even if they fight the Guansi and fight to Chang'an City, they will not be afraid.

Even though Li Yuanji is the prince's honor, the court always has to reason. They contributed 10,000 jin of money and 50,000 jin of grain, which is really not a small amount.

Unfortunately, Li Yuanji doesn't even take this trick.

Li Yuanji kicked the account book on the table to the ground. Li Yuanji pointed at the gentry and said, "Okay, don't be shameless..."

Li Rui was so angry that he shook his head: "Your Highness, what do you mean?"

"It seems that you really don't know the style of my king. He will let you see it!" Li Yuanji shouted outside the door: "Come..."

The gentry was shocked.

As we all know, Li Yuanji is a bastard. They are really afraid that Li Yuanji will send troops to use force against them.

But, obviously, they were thinking too much.

Li Yuanji smiled and said, "I don't want to waste your quarrels. You guys are just a group of stainless steel iron roosters. Even if you talk too hard, don't think about taking out a penny from your pockets!"

He kicked the account book at Li Rui's feet, stared at the old man, and said word by word: "I don't want this money anymore, so you can keep it and buy a coffin!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone changed their faces, and Li Rui said: "What do you... want to do?"

Li Yuanji did not use force, nor did he cut off a few people to establish his authority. Instead, he said to the servants indifferently: "Go and clean up, I will go back to Chang'an now. Are you not arrogant? Keep your temper and follow the Tubo people. I will go back to Chang'an now. In Liangzhou, whoever wants to be fucked, and whoever wants to be fucked!"

When it comes to this, everyone is shocked.

Li Yuanji's courage was so great that it was endless. Taiyuan was Li Yuan's place of dragon prosperity, but Li Yuanji lost it if he said he would. Li Yuan only dismissed Li Yuanji for half a year at that time. For Li Yuan, Liangzhou, was far less important than Taiyuan.

However, the fate of the gentry in Taiyuan was a lesson from the past. At that time, Taiyuan City was attacked by the rebel soldiers under Liu Wuzhou and started a massacre. Many families were destroyed and many female family members were insulted by the rebel soldiers. As for the loss of family wealth, it was difficult to calculate!

Seeing that Li Yuanji was about to escape, the gentry panicked.

They are all wealthy families in Liangzhou City, with a lot of money and real estate. They have no place to move even if they want to move. Once the poor Tubo people are allowed to kill into Liangzhou City, the Tubo people will not leave even a piece of cloth. In that case, although everyone in the ground can escape, their losses will be huge.

Everyone began to murmur on the side, and everyone discussed for a long time. They sent representative Li Rui to negotiate with Li Yuanji.

"Your Highness, although 10,000 guan and 50,000 guan of grain is a little small, our families are in trouble. Let's do this. Each of our families produces 1,000 guan of grain, totaling 107,000 guan and 30,000 guan. How about it?"

The gentry surrendered, but Li Yuanji was unhappy: "Are you all in trouble? Keep these money and food, and go back and live a good life!"

As he said that, Li Yuanji pretended to leave and ordered to the servant: "Hurry up, why are you standing there? Hurry up, pack up your things, let's leave now..."

Li Rui discussed with the gentry again, and everyone increased their investment again: "Fifty thousand jin of coins and one hundred thousand jin of grain, no more!"

"100,000 guan, 200,000 shi of grain!" Li Yuanji said coldly: "Don't think about sending beggars, either breaking apart or taking the money. I will never break my promise. Even if I die in Liangzhou City in battle, I will never retreat!"

"Eighty thousand stones, 150 thousand stones of grain!"

"One hundred thousand guan and two hundred thousand shi of grain, either take out the money to pay the grain, or I will leave now while the Tubo people have not come!"

The gentry was very helpless.

Although there are more than 100 people present, these families need to spend more than 1,000 stagnants on average, plus two thousand stones of grain, which is also very painful.

But they were really afraid that Li Yuanji would just pat his butt and leave.

When these gentry reached an agreement with Li Yuanji, the gentry paid the money and gave it to Li Yuanji to defend Liangzhou. Just as Li Yuanji was busy handing over the money and grain sent by the gentry, Li Yuanji received news that Gulang Town was conquered and the Tubo people started a massacre in Gulang Town.

Li Yuanji was frightened. He shuddered all over and the account book in his hand fell to the ground with a bang. After a while, he suddenly shouted: "Hurry up! Go and notify the troops, ask them to send troops, and block the Tubo people from the country! If they are allowed to rush into the country, we will be done!"

A staff member wearing a black cloak and a mask said with a voice like an old duck: "Prince, most of the soldiers and horses in our Liangzhou City are recruits, and they have no way to defend the enemy's territory. If they rely on the city wall, they can barely defend it. If they fight in the field, they will definitely lose."

Li Yuanji was very surprised. Although he said in front of everyone that he was very indifferent. He could retreat to Liangzhou at any time, he really didn't dare to leave. Because Liangzhou was Chen Ying's retreat. Once he left without a fight in Liangzhou, let alone how Li Yuan dealt with him, Li Xiuning would definitely not let him go. A bitter taste of flesh is bound to be indispensable. If it is not done well, Li Xiuning will not pay attention to him again in this life.

Li Yuanji was a little panicked: "What should I do now?"

But the staff said, "We can only wait now!"

"wait?"

"Not bad!" the aide smiled bitterly: "When the Tubo people come to attack, they will be beaten to death under Liangzhou City and retreat without fighting..."

Li Yuanji was stunned for a long time before he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay... But there are many people in Tubo, so our Liangzhou City shouldn't be able to withstand it? No, I have to report to Chang'an and ask my father to send troops to support..."

At this moment, a guard suddenly ran in panic and said, "Congratulations to His Highness, and congratulate His Highness, King Qi!"

"Congratulations, congratulations!" Li Yuanji just got 100,000 guan of money and 200,000 guan of grain. Although forming an army requires a lot of expenses, he is not Chen Ying, and he will not do anything like Chen Ying to improve the combat effectiveness of the soldiers. In Li Yuanji's opinion, he can at least intercept more than half of the 100,000 guan of money.

But now the Tubo army is approaching the border and is about to approach Liangzhou City. He can't take back the money.

But the staff looked at the attendant and said, "What do you think is the matter?"

The attendant said, "The Tubo people have retreated!"

"How is this possible? When did the Tubo people change their sexual desire? Their tens of thousands of troops, how could a small Gulang Town satisfy their appetite!" Li Yuanji grabbed the attendant's collar and yelled: "Do you dare to play with me?"

"How dare you make such a joke!" The attendant begged for mercy repeatedly and said, "This is General Chen's document to report the victory. It's here. Please check His Highness the King of Qi!"

Li Yuanji shouted anxiously: "Take it over quickly, take it over!"

The attendant did not dare to neglect and quickly presented the good news in his arms.

Li Yuanji snatched it over, browsed it all at once, and looked back and looked it one by one line. He was still unsatisfied and read it again. This time he finished reading it word by word. After reading it, he burst into laughter: "Okay, okay, okay! It turns out that he won! My third brother-in-law is a good thing, he can be regarded as giving a vent to the Lone King!"

Li Yuanji handed the report to the staff member: "Yuwen..."

Speaking of this, Li Yuanji suddenly realized something and hurriedly changed his words: "Mr. Xu, look!"

The smile on Li Yuanji's face was very bright.

Mr. Xu looked at him ten lines at a glance.

Almost half an hour later, Chen Ying defeated the Tubo army and beheaded more than 10,000 people. The remaining Tubo troops fled. The news that Chen Ying led his army to chase the Tubo people spread throughout Liangzhou.

When the gentry heard this news, they felt extremely regretful.

If I had known that Chen Ying would come to Liangzhou, why would he give Li Yuanji 100,000 guan and 200,000 shi of grain?

Everyone thought about sending representatives and asked Li Yuanji. Can you not have to pay the remaining 100,000 stones of grain?

Li Yuanji said, how could he spit out the meat he had eaten after eating it?

Two hundred thousand stones of grain can’t be enough.

I dare not leave it to you and consider the consequences.

As the saying goes, the evil people will suffer from evil people. The gentry in Liangzhou is sure to suffer this loss!
