Tang Yin said quietly: "In this case, the disaster relief food sent to Linqiao County is still far away!"
"Exactly!" Yao Li said with concern: "There have been several rebellions in Linqiao County now. If we can't wait for the relief food, I'm afraid there will be a major rebellion in the entire Linqiao County. The disaster relief is being carried out in Linqiao County. Prince Sichuan may also be in danger!"
Tang Yin shook his head with a smile and said: "Master Yao is overly worried. As far as I know, there are Sichuan troops stationed near Linqiao. Even if a rebellion occurs among the people, the Sichuan troops will quickly quell it."
Yao Li blinked in confusion and asked, "Is the Sichuan Army stationed at the ferry camp at the junction of Linqiao and Shima what the king is talking about?"
Tang Yin nodded and said, "That's right!"
Yao Li said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the season floods, and counties and counties on both sides of the river are affected by the floods. How can the Sichuan Army camp located on the riverside be spared? The Sichuan Army's ferry camp has long been moved elsewhere to avoid floods. Currently, Linqiao There are no troops stationed in the county at all!¡±
"What?" Tang Yin was startled, and after thinking for a moment, he suddenly realized, yes, why didn't he think of it? The Sichuan Army's camp is located next to the Ji River. The Ji River flooded, and the Sichuan Army was the first to suffer. How could the Sichuan Army defend the camp and be defeated? They were drowned in the flood, so of course the camp had to be moved long ago. Thinking of this, Tang Yin secretly grinned. In this way, Xiao Xiang was isolated and helpless when he went to Linqiao County to provide disaster relief this time. Once something unexpected happened, there would be no reinforcements nearby that could rescue them immediately.
Tang Yin's eyes rolled continuously, and he couldn't help but feel vaguely worried about Xiao Xiang's safety.
¡°Unfortunately, things are indeed developing in the most unfortunate direction. Five days after Tang Yin arrived in Heping County, a large-scale rebellion finally broke out in Linqiao County, which had been unable to wait for disaster relief food.
The people of Linqiao County believed that the Sichuan people no longer cared about their life or death. The hungry and angry people took up arms one after another and pointed the finger at Xiao Xiang, the king of Sichuan, and had an extremely fierce battle with the cavalry led by Xiao Xiang.
Hearing the news about the sudden change in Linqiao County, Tang Yin was not surprised. It can be said that this was what he expected. Without disaster food, Xiao Xiang went to Linqiao County just to look for trouble, which was tantamount to giving others an outlet.
Tang Yin's counselors were very excited about this matter, thinking that Xiao Xiang must be in trouble this time. After all, the cavalry around her was only 5,000 people, while the people of Linqiao County had hundreds of thousands of people. Thousands of cavalrymen, all of whom were spiritual cultivators, could not withstand the impact of so many mobs. As long as Xiao Xiang dies, the Sichuan people will be leaderless and will no longer be able to fight against Feng Guo.
But Tang Yin doesn't think so. In fact, whether Xiao Xiang lives or dies has little impact on the current situation. Even if Xiao Xiang dies, if Yin Zhun intends to support the Sichuan people, he can still choose Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yu, Xiao Peng and other royal nobles became kings of Sichuan.
"And if these people become Sichuan kings, then the Sichuan people will no longer be divided into factions and will unite into one group, which will be detrimental to Feng Country.
Out of this consideration, Tang Yin felt that he should help Xiao Xiang now.
However, the division of Zhendi has basically come to an end, and everything south of Jishui is under the jurisdiction of the Sichuan people. If the Feng army directly sends troops to Linqiao County, people with ulterior motives may make a big fuss about the rescue and call the rescue an invasion.
On this day, Tang Yin summoned his advisers and Yao Li and handed them all the information he had received about Linqiao County for circulation.
Yao Li had more or less understood the events that had happened in Linqiao County in the past few days. After roughly reading the information given by Tang Yin, he put it aside and said, "This time King Sichuan came to Linqiao County to provide disaster relief. It was unconsidered and too reckless. Now that the people of Linqiao County have changed, and the King of Sichuan is trapped in Linqiao and isolated, I am afraid it will be very bad!"
Tang Yin nodded and asked: "The King of Sichuan is in trouble, and now we are the closest to the King of Sichuan, only across the river. Does Mr. Yao think we should help him?"
Yao Li didn't understand what Tang Yin meant by asking. After pondering for a moment, he said truthfully: "We think that the king should help the king of Sichuan!"
After hearing his words, the faces of everyone present immediately darkened. Tang Yin was a little surprised. He looked at Yao Li with a smile and asked, "Why?"
Yao Li said seriously: "The King of Sichuan is dead, and there will be a new King of Sichuan who will succeed him. He will not be able to influence the current overall situation. But the King is very close at hand. If you just watch the King of Sichuan being trapped and killed but refuse to rescue him, I am afraid that the people of Sichuan will not only He will keep this account on Zhen Ren, and he will also bear grudge against the king. On the other hand, if the king saves the king of Sichuan, the people of Sichuan will definitely be grateful to the king, which is equivalent to selling the people of Sichuan a huge fortune. Favors will be repaid in the future. If your Majesty has great ambitions, choose the latter!"
Yo! This Yao Li actually thought of himself. Tang ?He subconsciously looked at the counselors on his left and right. He saw that he had so many counselors and staff, but his vision was not as far-sighted as that of the Zhenren chief of Heping County.
He shook his head secretly and said with a smile to Yao Li: "Master Yao is right, but Linqiao County is not under the jurisdiction of our Feng Kingdom. If you send troops rashly, I'm afraid it will be regarded as an invasion instead of a rescue!"
Yao Li smiled and said: "Sending troops directly is the next best thing. The king asked the soldiers to go to Linqiao County to fight and fight with the rebellious people in Linqiao County to rescue the King of Sichuan. That is too unfair to the soldiers! "
That¡¯s right! Tang Yin didn't say anything, but he already responded in his heart. He asked, "I wonder if Mr. Yao has any good ideas?"
Yao Li asked back: "Why do you think the people of Linqiao County rebelled?"
This time, before Tang Yin could speak, one of the counselors couldn't help but said: "Of course it's because the Sichuan people have been unable to transport disaster relief grain to Linqiao County!"
"This gentleman is right. The delay in seeing relief food is the cause of the rebellion of the people in Linqiao County and the root of the rebellion."
Yao Li said seriously: "Therefore, your Majesty does not need to send troops to rescue at all. He only needs to take part of our disaster relief food and transport it to Linqiao County so that the victims there can have enough to eat. The rebellion will naturally subside."
When Tang Yin heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. This was a good idea. Not only was there no risk, it would not be true to the facts, but it also gave the right medicine.
He looked up and smiled and praised: "What a brilliant idea! Master Yao said it is a brilliant idea!" After a pause, he asked: "But if we take out our food and distribute it to Linqiao County, will it be enough for me?" ?¡±
Yao Li hurriedly said: "That's enough! The food that your Majesty brought this time amounted to tens of thousands of dan, and there was also a steady stream of subsequent disaster relief food. It would be enough to part with it to relieve the urgent needs of the victims of Linqiao County. .¡±
"Okay!" Tang Yin raised his palms and smiled, saying, "It's up to you, Mr. Yao, to handle this matter."
"Yes! Your Majesty, I will do my best to handle this matter!" Yao Li stood up and bowed to the ground. The people of Linqiao County are also loyal people, and Yao Li is unwilling but unable to ignore them.
If the people of Linqiao really kill the King of Sichuan, then when the flood recedes and the Sichuan army enters in large numbers, no one in Linqiao will be able to recover, and in the end they may all be killed by the Sichuan army.
By quelling the rebellion as soon as possible and letting the King of Sichuan out of trouble, Yao Li was not only saving the King of Sichuan, but also saving his compatriots.
Yao Li¡¯s plan was very good. He Ping County would provide food and provide relief to Linqiao County nearby. In this way, the people would have food and be full, and naturally they would not cause trouble again.
Of course, this is a result that can be deduced based on normal logic. However, there is an external factor hidden in the rebellion that occurred in Linqiao County. This is something that Yao Li cannot infer.
According to Tang Yin¡¯s order, Yao Li allocated a full 50,000 shi from Heping County¡¯s disaster relief food, loaded it on more than a hundred ships, and transported it to Linqiao County on the other side of the Jishui River.
This was originally a good thing, but it turned out to be counterproductive and self-defeating. No one, including Tang Yin and Yao Li, expected that the rebellion in Linqiao County would become more serious after the food they helped Linqiao arrived.
Linqiao County is under the jurisdiction of the Sichuan people, but Linqiao County suffered such a severe flood. The Sichuan people refused to send relief food, but the Feng people on the other side sent the disaster food. Comparing the two sides, Linqiao people How can you not be grateful to Feng Ren? How can one not hate Sichuan people?
I don¡¯t know who was the first to make the statement, saying that Linqiao County should be freed from the jurisdiction of the Sichuan people and belong to the Feng Kingdom. Only in this way can the people of Linqiao County survive. As a result, once this statement was put forward, it was immediately widely accepted by the local Zhen people. People spread it to each other and soon became the mainstream statement in the local area.
The people of Linqiao County all want to escape from the control of the Sichuan people and join the Feng Kingdom, and killing Xiao Xiang, the king of Sichuan, is their opportunity.
Tang Yin adopted Yao Li's advice and sent disaster food to Linqiao, but who would have thought that he would unintentionally help Xiao Xiang escape and quell the rebellion. In the end, he succeeded in winning over the hearts and minds of the local people, which also made the rebellion intensify.
The local Zhen people have even put forward the slogan of "Kill the King of Sichuan and return to Feng Kingdom". Tang Yin's move not only did not save Xiao Xiang, but also added insult to injury and enjoyed the benefits of being a fisherman.
No one could have predicted such a sudden change in the situation. After receiving the news, Yao Li immediately came to see Tang Yin and pointed out in front of Tang Yin that there must be people with ulterior motives in Linqiao County who were inciting remarks and inflaming the emotions of the people. But who were these people with ulterior motives? He immediately Can't figure it out yet.
In fact, it is most likely that it is Feng Ren, but after the contact over the past few days, he can seeIt turns out that King Feng sincerely wanted to help King Sichuan this time. If it weren't for King Feng's secret arrangement, he really couldn't think of anyone who could be so vicious and lurking in Linqiao County to deliberately incite the people to rebel.
Tang Yin was the same as Yao Li. The two-foot-long monk was confused. Of course he knew very well whether he had sent someone to incite the people of Linqiao County. If it wasn't him, then who was it? Who else has such strong strength to accomplish such a thing secretly?
