"How can we let Fan Chang off like this?" Xiao Shilian looked at Li Xingchen and Pei Zilie as he walked with some confusion.
Pei Zilie frowned slightly and didn't know what he was thinking. He didn't seem to hear Xiao Shilian's question at all, and Li Xingchen said in a deep voice: "There is much more food in this granary than we imagined, so it is no longer our will."
Take away part of the problem."
Xiao Shilian was startled for a moment, and Pei Zilie nodded slightly at this time: "What Shizhong said makes sense."
According to their plan before, even if they robbed a few days of military rations, they would probably not be guilty of any serious crime, but now the amount of military rations hoarded has obviously exceeded everyone's expectations. Although they still don't know why they have so much military rations.
There will be such a concentrated hoarding here, but it is certain that this should be a secret of Fan Yi.
No matter what the reason is, once Li Xingchen and others reveal this matter, it will definitely cause an uproar. To a certain extent, it will even mean that the Fan family and the Xiao family are incompatible with each other, and behind the Xiao family stands
It's the East Palace again.
Now what Li Xinchen and the others need is to pull the Fan family to the East Palace side, rather than push the Fan family over. The existence of this military rations hoarding place has become a bargaining chip in Li Xinchen and the others' hands that is enough to threaten Fan Yi and even the entire Fan family. As long as they can
If you make good use of this bargaining chip, you won't have to worry about the Fan family making any changes.
And if Li Xingchen and the others can get Fan Yi's support at this time, this battle will obviously be easier to fight.
"But if we hide it..." Xiao Shilian still had some scruples.
Li Xingchen reached out and patted his shoulder, lowering his voice and said: "It's not your father that we need to hide. This matter is of great importance. We must report it to General Zuowei, and Fan Chang will also inform the Jingzhou Governor as soon as possible. We need to
It is Your Majesty who is hiding this. As long as this forms a tacit understanding among everyone, Your Majesty will not know about this."
After a pause, Li Xingchen looked around. Chen Zhishen, Li Ping and the rest of Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie's bodyguards had already recognized each other and stood far away. Then Li Xingchen said calmly: "What's more, this matter has been hidden from your majesty.
At that time, it was advantageous for us and the governor of Jingzhou."
Xiao Shilian nodded: "That's it."
Pei Zilie, who had been silent next to him, slowly said: "But Shizhong, Boqing, why do you think Fan Yi is hoarding so much food and grass here?"
Xiao Shilian raised his eyebrows. This is indeed a question worth pondering. Fan Yi, the governor of Jingzhou, is not qualified to hoard so much food and grass without his majesty's order. If his majesty had given him an order before, he would definitely have informed Xiao
Maha, there is no need for Xiao Maha to spend all his energy in allocating and collecting food and grass.
Therefore, it is certain that Fan Yi secretly hoarded food and grass, but why did he do this?
"Although Fan Yi was once in trouble with General Zuowei, he should not be an unprincipled person. He did not hoard food and grass to harm Chen. However, this place is located on the front line. It would be a bit risky to hoard so much food and grass.
Risk..." Pei Zilie said carefully.
"Maybe Fan Yi is afraid that if the two sides start a war, the public security city will be isolated and helpless, so he has to prepare in advance, or because Fan Yi has already been prepared to fight alone..." Li Xingchen's voice was low
, but it struck everyone's heart, making Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie's faces grow heavier.
They knew what Li Xingchen meant very well. Fan Yi was already prepared to rely on Jinghu to resist after most of Nanchen's territory fell. Perhaps in other words, Fan Yi was waiting for Nanchen to be destroyed, so that he could
Take this opportunity to separate Jinghu.
After all, after years of reclamation and development in the Southern Dynasties, Jinghu Lake was very different from the Han Dynasty. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the south was a barbaric land after all, and the focus of the imperial court's development was still in the Central Plains and Guanzhong areas, which generally extended to Xiangyang and Xiangyang in the south.
Lianghuai.
This is why during the Three Kingdoms period, there were many famous people in Lianghuai and Nanyang in the north of Jingxiang, but further south it is rare to hear of places with many famous people.
There are only a few cities in the south that have a relatively complete social system of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, such as Jiankang and Wujun in Jiangnan, as well as Yueyang and Xiangzhou in Jinghu. However, these cities are like stars scattered on the southern land. After all, they are just
The points are not connected to form a line, let alone connected to form a plane like the Central Plains.
When the Jin Dynasty moved to the south, the south ushered in complete prosperity and development. For a time, cities such as Jingkou, Kuaiji, Public Security Bureau, Jiangling, etc. for the purpose of military defense or immigration resettlement sprung up and expanded like mushrooms after a rain.
At the same time, the arrival of the Little Ice Age meant that the weather in the south became suitable for people to live and grow food, which in turn promoted the prosperity of Jiangnan and Jinghu towns to some extent.
This means that it will not be as difficult to separate Jingnan at this time as it was before. Hua Jiao relied on Jingnan Prefecture to compete with Wu Mingche, and going forward, many powerful officials in the late Eastern Jin Dynasty also relied on this area as their base.
The most famous of them were Huan Wen and Huan Xuan, the father and son of Huan Wen and Huan Xuan. Huan Xuan's title was "King of Chu", and his later national title was also "Chu".
It can be seen from this that whether he has evil intentions towards Nanchen or is waiting for Nanchen to seize the opportunity if there is an incident, Fan Yi must have other motives for hoarding food and grass here.
This is why Li Xingchen is very sure that Fan Yi will compromise with them because of the food and grass hoarded here. Even Li Xingchen and several other young people have figured out Fan Yi's evil intentions or vigilance, not to mention the always suspicious Chen
Xu.
If Chen Xu knew about this, it would really be a disaster for the Fan family.
Since Fan Yi had no ability to compete with Chen Xu, he had no choice but to catch him. Therefore, Li Xingchen and the others suppressed the matter, which saved the future of the Fan family, but also held Fan Yi's hand.
.
There is no room for Fan Yi not to submit obediently.
"Of course, if this matter is revealed, we will be the first to bear the brunt." Li Xingchen smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Xiao Shilian was startled for a moment. If this matter is reported to His Majesty and the incident comes to light, then Fan Yi will take risks without any hesitation. At that time, he will definitely attack the army closest to him first, and Pei Zilie's 3,000 troops needless to say is the best choice.
.
Therefore, Li Xingchen and Pei Zilie insisted on not saying anything, which was somewhat self-protective.
"Now I don't ask for anything else, I just want to be able to fight this battle well." Xiao Shilian couldn't help but smile bitterly. His emotion came from the bottom of his heart.
Li Xingchen and Pei Zilie subconsciously looked at each other and fell silent.
In troubled times, amid intrigues and intrigues, how can we do as we please?
