Su Ren raised his hand and smashed the cup to pieces. He wanted to curse people, using the most vicious and heart-wrenching words. However, the curse words he finally came up with were a little light: "Tang Meng, this bastard!"
The lobby was quiet, and no one dared to speak. This was the first time that Su Ren lost his temper in a real sense. There was no benefit in losing his temper in front of his own people. Su Ren had restrained himself a lot, but it still seemed like a serious matter to others.
He sat back on his chair and said, "Old Cui, how many livestock did that guy Tang Meng seize from us?"
Cui Jiuming said quickly: "Almost half of it. They said they were buying it for the imperial court, but the actual price was less than the money we exchanged from the Qiang people? This is obviously robbery, worse than a robber!"
Seeing everyone in Zhuiyun Mountain looking at him, Cui Jiuming quickly changed his words: "I didn't mention you, you are already good people now."
"Most of it? What is he going to do? Build a cavalry?"
Cui Jiuming shook his head: "No, our Sichuan mountains have many flat areas and are not suitable for cavalry at all. I guess they are going to be dedicated to Meng Ji!"
Huo Laosi said: "Does that mean you are ready to support Liu An? Liu An is going to rebel and wants horses to build a cavalry. This is for sure. I always thought that Tang Meng was a good official, but I didn't expect that he would actually help the tiger!"
Su Ren sneered: "A good official? He has never been a good official. What if a good official gets mixed up with Meng Ji? Who has the horse in his hands now?"
Cui Jiuming added: "Part of it was taken away by Tang Meng, only five or six hundred horses, and the rest are still in our hands!"
"Five or six hundred horses, that's not much!" Su Ren thought for a while and said to Huo Jin: "Go back to Chengdu immediately and tell the prefect about this matter. Tang Meng is under the banner of the imperial court! Okay, let's also fight under the banner of the imperial court.
Let’s see whose chess piece floats higher!”
Cui Jiuming thought for a long time: "Tang Meng will come tomorrow, and he will probably bring an army. Should we place those horses in Zhuiyun Mountain to avoid being robbed?"
Su Ren looked back at Zhou Zhong and Sun Ermazi. Before Zhou Zhong could speak, Sun Ermazi slapped his chest and said loudly: "Okay! Bring him in overnight. I want to see if this dog official dares to come to Yuanshan."
act wildly?"
As early as half a month ago, the Tang Sect had set its sights on the horses that Su Ren had brought back from the Qiang region. When Su Ren came to Jiangyuan to help, Su Ren had already provoked an internal uprising in Yuanshan before the army arrived.
Tang Meng stayed in Jiangyuan County and sat on the mountain to watch the tigers. As the captain of Shu County, how could he not know how powerful the Yuanshan bandits were. Ever since Tang Meng arrived in Shu County, he had been thinking about wiping out these Yuanshan bandits all the time, but unfortunately he was too ambitious and insufficient to do so.
.
Tang Meng sent someone to send a letter to Su Ren. The content was very clear. He wanted Su Ren to give him the credit for quelling Yuanshan. Such shameless words were extremely learned by Tang Meng. Let’s start with himself.
Speaking of his identity, he also said that without his deterrence, the Yuanshan bandits would definitely cause harm to Shuzhong. At that time, Su Ren would be solely responsible for the blame. Tang Meng could only benefit from this benefit in public and private affairs by eating it.
Hello everyone.
Su Ren consulted Wen Dang about this matter, and Wen Dang also felt that what Tang Meng said made sense. Su Ren readily agreed, and the credit for quelling the Yuanshan bandits was written in Tang Meng's name. After that incident,
Su Ren felt that Tang Meng was a very snobbish guy. He would betray Meng Ji for a prefect who had not yet obtained it, and now he would snatch it away for a little credit. Su Ren even thought that he had given in too much.
Otherwise, Tang Meng wouldn't have the courage to snatch the horse from him.
"Lengjun!" Su Ren shouted. Lengjun saw that Su Ren's face was not good, so he came to Su Ren's side without saying anything. Su Ren lay in Lengjun's ear and muttered for a long time. The more Lengjun listened, the more his eyes moved.
big.
"That's the imperial army, just in case..."
"There is nothing wrong with it. We are all legitimate businessmen. Those who rob us are robbers. Is this the only way to deal with this matter?"
Leng Jun took a deep breath: "You have to think carefully, otherwise we will become traitors!"
"What happened to the traitors? The father is unkind and the son runs away to another country. The king is unrighteous and the ministers defect to foreign countries. They are the ones who forced them to do so!"
Su Kai asked: "What do you want to do?"
Su Ren smiled slightly and winked. Everyone close to Su Ren knew that Su Ren's action would never do anything good. Only when he was planning someone, he would have this expression: "Don't do it."
What, it’s just to teach Tang Meng a lesson so that he won’t bully others too much in the future!”
"Really?" Su Kai obviously didn't believe it.
Su Ren nodded: "You will know when Tang Meng comes tomorrow!"
The horses at Shushangkou were driven into Zhuiyun Mountain overnight, leaving only the original huge livestock pens. Logically speaking, no one of these open-mouthed guys wants to keep them for too long, so it is best to do it directly if they can.
Among the livestock brought back from the Qiang region, cattle were the most sold. As the main production tool, the price was not too expensive, and they were quickly bought up by livestock dealers from all over.
Sheep come next. These things can only be killed for meat and are considered consumables. Nowadays, it is a custom to eat Qiang sheep in restaurants near Chengdu. One or two today, three or five tomorrow, so you don’t have to worry about smashing them.
in hand.
Only the horses were in trouble. The Han Dynasty was short of horses, and war horses were regarded as war supplies. Even His Majesty the Emperor had a headache. Suddenly thousands of horses appeared in Shu, which does not produce horses. Although everyone was surprised, no one took action. According to the imperial court
According to the law, anything the court needs must wait for the court to pick it first, otherwise the family will be ruined. Without an explicit order from the court, everyone can only sigh when looking at these war horses.
Nowadays, the Sichuan Chamber of Commerce only has horses in its hands. Such a large group of horses is just outside Jiangyuan County. Anyone who sees it will drool. Since Tang Meng is a military general, he naturally knows the role of war horses in the army. Therefore,
He had an idea for these horses.
After a busy night, Su Ren suffered from back pain. After running eight times back and forth between Shushangkou and Zhuiyun Mountain, he fell down from exhaustion.
Cui Jiuming waved his hand: "Take all these to the back mountain. I have never walked so many mountain roads. Today I have walked all the mountain roads in my life. If I can take a car in the future, I will never take a step."
Su Ren rubbed his calf: "The last batch is over, and the order is given. Everyone should return to Yuanshan and block the mountain pass. Anyone who dares to trespass will be killed without mercy!"
"Okay! Just take a look!" Sun Ermazi agreed, turned around and walked down the mountain with the knife in hand. As he walked, he shouted: "Let's go, let's fight with the army!"
Su Kai frowned: "Are you really going to rebel?"
Su Ren said with a smile: "Don't listen to old Sun's nonsense. I'm working hard as a city manager. Rebellion? I'm full of food."
"But I think what you did was obviously rebellion!" Su Kai suddenly raised his head, as if he had made a strong determination: "If you dare to rebel, I will definitely kill you!"
Huang Shisan stood up with a cry, holding the big ax in his hand across his chest. Many people working on the side also turned their heads and stared at Su Kai, all of them angry. The old fox sighed,
He thought to himself that his son-in-law is really a dabbler, not to mention that people like Zhui Yunshan now regard Su Ren as a god, and you won't be able to escape even if you kill him.
"Everyone put down your weapons and listen to what I say!" The old fox pulled Su Kai and said, "Good son-in-law! It's Tang Meng's fault for this matter. We are doing this to protect ourselves. We paid for these horses with our lives."
, you know this best. If Tang Meng buys at the price and doesn't say anything, if he robs us, what do you think, sir, and us should do? Is it possible that we will be slaughtered by others?"
Su Kai was stunned for a moment. The old fox patted him on the shoulder: "You heard it yesterday. Tang Meng wanted our horses not to arm the Han army, but to support the rebels. Even if you kill him, you will share your Majesty's worries. Do you think so?"
No? If the rebels get these horses and threaten Chang'an, what will they do?"
The old fox had eaten for a few more years, and the words he spoke immediately changed into a different flavor. Su Kai calmed down and said to Su Ren: "In this case, you'd better find out before taking action."
Su Ren nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, I won't wrongly accuse a good person!" When Su Kai turned around, Su Ren and the old fox looked at each other, understanding each other tacitly.
From morning to noon, there was no movement at Shushangkou. Neither Tang Meng nor Tang Meng's soldiers and horses were seen. The people sent to Jiangyuan County to inquire about the news reported that Tang Meng's soldiers were still in Jiangyuan County.
There was no sign of any transfer, but Tang Meng was nowhere to be found. This made everyone frown. Since Tang Meng promised to come today, why has there been no movement?
The sun had already set in the west, and the wind in the mountains made him feel a little cold. Cui Jiuming raised his head and looked at the sky: "It will be dark in another hour. Did Tang Meng see that we have taken measures and did not dare to come?"
Zhou Zhong shook his head: "I have also heard of this Tang Meng. We met once when we were in Qingyi County. This man is by no means a timid person. For his own benefit, this man can do anything."
"What can he do?" Cui Jiuming asked.
Sun Ermazi said: "What the hell does he do? If you dare to ask for a horse without paying, I will be the first to chop him up!"
A sunset appeared on the top of the mountain, shrouding the entire Zhuiyun Mountain in blood red. Layers of burning clouds covered the sky. Looking at each other face to face, the whole face turned red against the background of the burning clouds.
A guard rushed up the mountain: "Report! Sir, Tang Meng is here!"
"Oh? How many people are here?" Sun Ermazi asked hurriedly.
The guard hesitated, not knowing how to answer: "There are many people, and..."
"And what? Say it quickly!" Sun Ermazi roared.
"And there are other people, all, all..."
"You kid, why are you hesitating today? How many people did Tang Meng bring to scare you like this? Could it be that he brought all the soldiers from Shu County?"
The guard lowered his head, with a look of helplessness on his face: "There is no such thing, but it has brought a lot of people, all of whom are Bo people from Dujiangyan! There is also Mr. Sima!"
"What?" Su Ren was shocked: "What on earth is Tang Meng doing? Using Bo people and Mr. Sima as hostages?"
"It's so abominable! I'm going to kill him!" Huang Shisan raised the ax in his hand. (To be continued)
