Yuchi Baohuan was reluctant. He believed that one should keep a thin line in life. Although he and Fang Jun were each in charge, and the situation was tense, but when the King of Jin reversed the situation and ascended to the throne, wouldn't they all be ministers of the same palace?
Although the battle for the throne is cruel, since it happens between brothers, there will always be a bottom line that cannot be broken. No matter who wins or loses, the two sides will not completely wipe out the other side.
Violent death...
But after all, this bottom line is still there.
Especially for the ministers, today they are fighting for their masters life and death. When they return to the same family in the future, they will still be ministers in the same palace. If they attack Fang Jun's family property today, how embarrassing will it be when they meet again tomorrow?
Besides, my brothers have a good personal relationship with Fang Jun, and their family’s maritime trade business is under the auspices of the navy. It’s so ugly that it’s really unnecessary...
But when he mustered up the courage to try to explain his point of view, he was suddenly frightened when he saw his father's wide-eyed bull's-eyes and said quickly: "I will obey my orders!"
Not daring to say more, he quickly turned around and exited the tent, summoned his subordinates, all rode out of the camp, and headed straight to Lishan Mountain in the rain.
"Stupid thing!"
Yuchi Gong muttered a curse, and moved to the map on the wall, carefully checking the deployment of the imperial army on the Ba River and Chan River, but he was still worried about his youngest son's stupidity.
In the past two years, sea trade has brought huge profits, which are more than ten times and a hundred times more than the output of the land. As a result, all the powerful families in the world have begun to pay attention to sea trade, and their focus has gradually shifted to sea trade, especially the second and third generations of each family.
For such huge benefits, the output of the land is somewhat looked down upon.
Then he began to spend extravagantly and indulge in extravagance, suddenly forgetting the original intention of his ancestors who had placed their family property on the land for generations.
No matter how great the profit from sea trade is, it is only a temporary benefit. How can it last year after year?
And land is the foundation that lasts for thousands of years.
What's more, if you want sea trade, you have to rely on the navy. Otherwise, how can you build a navy from scratch to escort the world?
However, the navy was firmly in Fang Jun's hands, which was equivalent to holding the entire sea trade of Datang with one hand. Anyone who wanted to benefit from this had to be humble and snort to Fang Jun. Anyone who dared to provoke him would have to
Withdraw from sea trade...
If you give someone the foundation of your family's lifeline and then wait for them to drain the flames, wouldn't you be digging your own grave?
Only the future fiefdom is the long-lasting cornerstone of the family's future generations. Grabbing all the high-yielding crop seeds from Fang Jun's farm and planting them on their own land is what a smart person should do.
As for whether it would anger Fang Jun... it was impossible to snatch all the crops, so why would he become an enemy of the Yuchi family?
Furthermore, as long as King Jin succeeds, what if Fang Jun is furious?
When the time comes, the first thing he has to do is how to ensure that the Fang family survives smoothly and will not be liquidated by King Jin...
…
It rained heavily, and the entire Lishan Mountain was shrouded in mist and mist. Even though the war was raging on the Guanzhong Plain on one side, the undulating mountains were still green and green, as quiet as a fairyland.
Yuchi Baohuan personally led hundreds of his subordinates to gallop along the concrete road into the mountain. The sound of horse hooves was like rolling thunder, mixed with the sound of rain, and frightened the birds that lived in the forest on the roadside to fly away.
It flutters its wings high and makes a "chirp" sound in the rainy weather, angrily expressing its dissatisfaction at being disturbed.
The farms scattered on both sides of the road were peaceful and peaceful. Even on a rainy day, they should not be deserted. It can be seen that they had already taken shelter in advance when they knew that the military disaster was coming.
This made Yuchi Baohuan breathe a sigh of relief. If a young farmer rushed up blankly and vowed to protect the farm, whether he would kill him or not would put him in trouble...
After a long drive, we arrived in front of the farm. Only then did we see teams of young men and women, fully armed, arrayed in front of the farm. Behind them, the wall of the farm was crowded with people. There were many swords and guns, filled with murderous intent. Countless bows, crossbows and arrows were rushing out, in a fight to the death posture.
.
Before Yuchi Baohuan rode his horse straight to the village gate, he reined in his horse and stood still a stone's throw away. He stretched out his hand and ordered his subordinates not to move. Then he got off his horse and Shi Shiran stepped forward, not afraid of the countless arrows from the crossbows facing him.
, said loudly: "Let Lu Cheng come out, I have something to say!"
There was a commotion in the village. After a long time, there was a gap in the entrance of the village. A thin old man wearing leather armor came out and stood not far from Yuchi Baohuan. He looked carefully and recognized Yuchi Baohuan. Only then did he
He scolded: "Isn't it true that the Yuchi family are all disobedient bitches? Our Erlang and your family are close friends. It's just that you rebelled and rebelled. Now you are here to seize Erlang's property. It's really stinking."
Shameless, bah!"
Yuchi Baohuan wiped the rain off his face and said angrily: "Mother! Are you stupid, old dog? If I really have evil intentions, I can just send troops to attack. Why waste time with you? Hurry up!
Quickly call all the seeds stored in the village for me to take away, and I will not kill anyone in the village."
"fart!"
Lu Cheng glared angrily and scolded sternly: "Erlang handed over the farm to me. Even if I die in battle, I can't make Zhuangzi fall into the hands of thieves. It's easy to get the seeds. Just step over the bodies of Erlang and I!"
The young men in Zhuangzi were also aroused with ferocity, waving their weapons and shouting loudly: "Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Although Zhuangzi implemented a "production team" system, which is very different from today's "mansion army system", these young men and women have always received formal military training in the form of "militia", and their combat effectiveness is not weak at all.
Yuchi Baohuan had no choice but to wave his hands to calm down the noisy soldiers behind him, and said to Lu Cheng: "Let's be reasonable. I ask you, can these young men in your village stop these soldiers who have fought many battles under my command?"
Lu Cheng said angrily: "Even if you die in battle, I can't let you even step into the village!"
Yuchi Baohuan said angrily: "Isn't your old man's brain hard to use? I give an order and my soldiers will attack Zhuangzi. They will kill you all within an hour, and the battle damage will be at most 30%. By then you will
They are all dead. Doesn’t this Zhuangzi allow me to come in as I please and leave as I please?”
Lu Cheng remained silent.
Yuchi Baohuan waved his hand and sighed: "I am also doing this under orders. Just listen to the advice and honestly let me go in. I promise you that I will only take half of the seeds and half of the remaining goods."
Don't move, I will do nothing wrong with the female relatives in the village, but if any soldier under my command dares to offend, you can talk to me."
He dared not disobey his father's orders, but he also did not want to take on a mortal enemy with Fang Jun. The old man in front of him was the old man who was married to Mrs. Lu, Fang Xuanling's wife. He was highly regarded by the Fang family, his son and the Lu family.
If he were killed today, it would be a fight to the death with the Fang family.
I just hope that the other party can understand the current affairs...
Lu Cheng was not stupid, and he also understood that even if all the young men in Zhuangzi died in battle, they would not be able to stop the elite forces of the Youhou Guards. However, he puzzled and said: "Since you are here for the seeds, you should know that although my Erlang is in Tiannanhai
The North collects these seeds and breeds them, and eventually they will be sown in every place in the Tang Dynasty, so why bother to snatch them?"
Yuchi Baohuan said helplessly: "Of course Fang Er is willing to give it, but when? How much can he give to my family each time? My family is a feudal family with countless land and insufficient seeds to plant, so we can only make this decision."
Lu Cheng looked back at the young men behind him. They were all good young men who followed him and got along day and night in Zhuangzi. Is it worth risking their lives for a battle that is destined to fail?
What's more, once the battle starts, the rebels will definitely not be able to hold back their swords after rushing into the village, and then all the women and children of Zhuangzi will be massacred...
He stared at Yuchi Baohuan: "Really, you only took half of the seeds and left the rest of the year intact?"
Yuchi Baohuan breathed a sigh of relief, nodded fiercely and said: "If you keep your word, if there is any offense, both humans and gods will abandon it!"
"good!"
Lu Chengyi gritted his teeth, turned around and shouted: "Open the door!"
"Steward!"
"No! How can we let thieves enter the village?"
"The seeds are gone, how can we explain to Erlang!"
"It's just a fight to the death, we are not afraid!"
…
Facing the angry and stubborn faces, Lu Cheng twitched the corner of his mouth, gritted his teeth, and punched and kicked him, while beating and scolding: "My words are of no use, right? Ah? If Erlang is questioned, I will do my best."
Bear on it, what kind of dogs are you, and you can get Erlang to accuse me? Hurry up and open the door for me, and then hide away!"
His prestige in the village was extremely high. Under this violent rage, although the young man in the village was full of aggrieved, he did not dare to disobey, so he had to open the door of the village and disperse to both sides.
Yuchi Baohuan did not disarm, but only warned Lu Cheng: "Don't try to encircle and annihilate them, or force me to go on a killing spree."
Lu Cheng shook his head and said: "They are all my closest sons and daughters, how can I let them die in vain? You can go and get the seeds without worrying."
"Don't be idle. You have to follow me. I only know rice seeds and not the rest. You have to help me sort them into different categories."
"Okay, please."
Lu Cheng was helpless. He originally wanted to use some rice seeds to deceive the past, but found that Yuchi Baohuan was also shrewd and did not dare to cause trouble, so he had to accompany him to the cellar.
