After leaving Gao Jong's mansion, Yang Ming went directly to Chu Gong's mansion to meet Yang Yue and described his judgment on the form to the other party.
Yang Yue promised that if something happened in the future, Hongnong Yang would be able to prepare 5,000 men, 5,000 horses, plus weapons and food for Yang Ming.
This is not the maximum limit, but it depends on the situation. In short, Yang Yue is willing to spend all his money on Yang Ming.
"Once chaos breaks out in Hebei, Your Highness must delay it until the chaos is as great as possible. Only then can Yang Jian be completely brought down," Yang Yue casually put on a piece of clothing and conspired with Yang Ming in the room. .
In his view, the fight against rebellion should not be rushed but delayed. If only one or two counties in Hebei rebelled, Yang Ming would not have the chance to lead troops to fight the rebellion, and Yang Jian would not be guilty of much crime.
Only when the whole of Hebei is filled with beacon smoke can Guanzhong be mobilized.
Yang Ming nodded: "Mr. Gao also means the same thing. Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. Only by completely causing trouble this time can we give my father a warning to avoid starting another project."
"Alas..." Yang Yue sighed: "Wan Shi has a letter for me. He is in a very difficult situation in Hejian County right now. The county is empty, all industries are ruined, and everyone has been transferred away. All he can see is The old, weak and children are begging in the streets, and the government collects hundreds of corpses of hungry people every day in the city. I have already written back to him to tell him that as a last resort, he should abandon the city and run away."
"Losing the city and losing the territory is a capital crime," Yang Ming said, "If he dares to do this, I won't be able to protect him in the future."
Yang Yue said with a bitter face: "What can we do? The military government in Hejian County has been exhausted. Wan Shi currently relies on the hundreds of people in the government and his three hundred tribes. If there is civil unrest, only Waiting for death."
"How come there are only more than a hundred people in one county's government office?" Yang Ming said blankly.
Yang Yue said helplessly: "They have all been taken away. More than 1.2 million people have been taken away from Hebei this time. There are too many people. Government officials need to follow them to supervise the work to prevent civil unrest."
Yang Ming was completely speechless. The entire prefect of the county was like this. He couldn't even protect himself. No wonder Yan Pi ran so fast.
"Tell Wan Shi to show off when he runs, and don't just run away," Yang Ming said in a deep voice.
Yang Yue nodded and said: "I have already told him. When I found that the situation was not right, I quickly spent money to recruit some people locally. If I can defend it, I will defend it. If I can't defend it, I will run to Zhuojun in the north. The border military headquarters of Zhuojun, After all, it can’t be transferred.”
He could only run to Zhuo County. Hejian County was Cangzhou City, Hebei Province, and the Bohai Sea was to the east. He really had no place to run, so he could only go north to find Yan Bi and Yuan Hongsi.
The border military government has huge responsibilities and is not included in the transfer. In other words, once chaos breaks out in Hebei, this is the only place that can save lives.
Yang Ming frowned and said: "How could it be like this? The canal project was originally agreed to recruit two million people, but it is not possible to recruit so many people at once. The river control is the project you supervised, and the people invested in the early stage Not that much, right?"
"The early stage is the most complicated, and of course you don't need so many people," Yang Yue said. "It can be seen that Yang Jian is rushing to meet the construction deadline. Your Majesty has set a year, but after his northern tour, he will return from Zhuojun. According to my estimation, , Yang Jian probably wanted to build the canal before His Majesty arrived at Zhuojun."
Yang Ming calculated silently in his mind and said in surprise: "That's six or seven months?"
"That should probably be the case, otherwise there is no need to remove them all at once," Yang Yue said excitedly: "The more this happens, the more beneficial it will be to His Highness. Yang Jian is seeking death. No one can save him this time. It’s up to him.”
"Those four envoys will probably be the main force in countering the rebellion in the future. If they are defeated, Guanzhong can mobilize," Yang Ming said solemnly.
Yang Yue said: "Zhang Xutuo is an old subordinate of Taiping Gong. You can ask Taiping Gong to say hello to him in a subtle way and let him know the stakes."
In history, Zhang Xutuo was said to be a general who put out fires in the late Sui Dynasty. He rebelled wherever he went. In the end, he encountered Wagangzhai, the hardest bone in the late Sui Dynasty, and was defeated and died in the hands of Li Mi.
The defeat of this battle was not Zhang Xutuo's fault. In fact, Yang Guang was already angry with both men and gods at that time. Zhang Xutuo alone could not save the Sui Dynasty.
Yang Ming nodded. This greeting can be given, but the premise is that Zhang Xutuo must be reliable, otherwise selling him in the future will be a troublesome matter.
As for Yu Juluo, there is no need to say hello. He is in the hinterland of Hebei and can only bear it. Besides, this man offended his father because of his younger brother Yuzan's matter, and he will definitely not dare to make another mistake now.
Yuzan was an old acquaintance of Yang Ming, and because he was his father's confidant, he dominated the palace and abused his subordinates. He didn't even think about it. Which guard who could be on duty in the palace didn't have a backing?
This turned out to be good, and the clan was immediately offended. Yang Xiong took the lead in filing a complaint, so Yang Guang had Yuzan sentenced to death the year before last.
Lu Yongji, the governor of Shangdang County, is a waste, no, a waste among wastes.
At the beginning of the founding of the Sui Dynasty, after hearing this, this boy ran over from Shandong and found Yang Jian to identify his relatives, saying that he was his grandfather Lu Shuangzhou and Yang Jian's grandfather.
Yang Jian didn't know this kid, so he sent people to Shandong to investigate. It turned out that such a thing was true, so he directly made his grandfather Lu Shuangzhou the Duke of Qi, and Lu Yongji succeeded him in the title.
Lu Yongji was illiterate and Yang Jian did not give him real power. However, after Yang Guang came to power, this boy was particularly good at flattering him and made Yang Guang happy. He was made the governor of Shangdang.
With the four envoys, there would definitely be problems on Lu Yongji's side, and Yang Ming could almost foresee it.
Yang Ming didn't dare to stay at Yang Yue's house any longer because he had to leave the city before dawn, so he quickly went to Shi Wansui's house.
"There is no need to say hello. Zhang Xutuo is a foolish and loyal person. He will not listen." Shi Wansui said: "This man is a famous warrior. If Hebei is in chaos, it is the time when this son is making great achievements. How can he be willing to do it deliberately?" What about losing the battle?"
Yang Ming nodded: "If it doesn't make sense, I won't tell you. How is your old health? Can you go on an expedition with me in the future?"
Shi Wansui shook his head and said: "I am getting old after all. I felt that I was not strong enough during the previous Western Expedition. If something changes in Hebei this time, let Huaiyi go with you. My generals can only be controlled by Huaiyi."
Shi Huaiyi was Shi Wansui's only legitimate son. He served as the Zhonglang General in Youtunwei and was over thirty years old.
"Okay," Yang Ming nodded and said, "Tell Huaiyi to make preparations early. Hebei may not be able to escape this time. I came back secretly. I don't want anyone to know. I need to leave the city immediately. Please take care."
After that, Yang Ming left Shi Wansui's house, walked out of Chunming Gate before dawn, and returned to the camp.
.......
Xiao Xuan failed to get a good deal from Yang Ming, so he went to Luoyang to join Yang Jian.
"I built the river, and he came to make money? How can this be true in the world?" Yang Xian had known about this for a long time, but his current focus was on the canal, so he had no time to care about it.
At first, he thought that the Dugu family and the Xiao family were in private contact, but now after Xiao Xuan reminded him, he realized that Yang Ming, a bastard, was the one who was hindering their relationship.
Xiao Xuan said: "Then what should we do now? I can no longer speak in the clan. With the seventh uncle pulling strings, His Highness, the businessman of Cao Yun, may not get any leftovers."
"Haha...they have a good idea," Yang Jian sneered: "For this grain transportation from south to north, half of the money comes from Jiangdu and half from Luoyang. If I don't nod, they won't be able to get it." money."
"This amount of money is only a fraction, no one will care about it," Xiao Xuan reminded: "I'm afraid that Yuhe's business will be completely controlled by them in the future."
"What a fool!" Yang Jian sneered: "The ships are all at Luokou and Banzhu docks. If I don't nod from now on, where will they get the ships?"
"I just want to remind Your Highness of this. As long as the ship is held, they will have no other choice but to find you," Xiao Xuan said happily.
Yang Xian nodded: "You should go back to Jiangdu now and tell Wang Shichong to let him drag you without any money. Let them transport the grain first, and then settle the accounts after transporting it."
"It's best to give him a little, so as not to make them suspicious and affect His Highness's canal affairs," Xiao Xuan reminded.
Yang Jian nodded and said: "I will do as you say. After I build the canal, I will settle the score with them."
"I have another strategy here that may be of use to Your Highness," Xiao Xuan said.
"Say," Yang Jian said.
Xiao Xuan said: "When I first arrived in Luoyang, I heard that Duke Zhao's daughter had returned from the capital?"
"She's been back a long time ago. What do you mean by mentioning her?" Yang Jian said.
Xiao Xuan smiled and said: "I heard that this woman's madness has not yet been cured, but she is close to normal. So does she know that she is the true concubine of King Qin?"
"Of course she doesn't know, but I heard from the Dugu family that this woman's memory is gradually recovering, and she can recall many things from the past." Yang Xun's eyes lit up: "You mean, the person who disturbed the third child and the Dugu family relation?"
Xiao Xuan nodded: "Your Highness, it would be best if someone spreads the word and says that Dugunu's madness was caused by Yang Su back then. This will have a miraculous effect."
"What a great idea!" Yang Jian was instantly overjoyed: "Why didn't I think of that? When she went crazy, Yang Su's granddaughter became the princess. Who else could have done it if it wasn't Yang Su who caused the evil? Hahahaha..."
In Yang Xian's view, if the Dugu family fell out with Hongnong Yang, then Yang Ming would definitely protect the Yang family. In this way, the Dugu family would be alienated from them, and he could take the opportunity to win over them.

"Yang Yue, this bastard, takes money and does nothing. He has cheated on me several times. This time I took advantage of the opportunity," Yang Xian said with a grim smile, "I won't get rid of this bitch Yang Yinjiang completely this time. I'm sorry for the rumors he made about me."
Xiao Xuan continued: "It's best to spread some rumors about the infighting between the Yang and Pei families. If Pei Ju can be dragged into the water, there will be a big excitement to watch."
"That's right," Yang Xian laughed and said, "Isn't the third child interfering with my family affairs? I call it tit-for-tat."
Then, Yang Jian summoned all his staff and began to spread rumors.
This kind of thing is not only done by Yang Yue, but also by others, but Yang Yue is more proficient in his business.
If Yang Yue is a diamond, then Yang Jian is at least a platinum one.
Everyone has one head and one mouth, you are not the only one who spreads rumors.
