Chapter 249 Inner Thief

Yu Jingyang half lay on the warm kang, took a sip of wine, and shook his legs and said to Cheng Yue, who was coming in, "What's the matter outside? Yelu Chongyuan has been besieging the city for more than ten days, and he can't even get the cannons up, so he is still drinking outside the city?"

Cheng Yue took off his helmet, sat on the kang, and said, "Let's surround him. The Khitans had just won a battle in Dangxiang, and at this time they had enough money and food, and it was convenient for Dongshengzhou to transport it here, so it was so easy to leave. I see, they would not give up if they didn't surround for a month or two."

Yu Jingyang shook his legs and said, "Let them go. If you surround me for a year, my grandfather will thank them. There is no need to worry about food and drink in the city. The food stored is only enough for us for one or two years. Who is afraid of them? - By the way, are there any shortage of food outside these days? If you are short of food, sell some military rations at a price and we get some money. People living in this city are rich. If you don't make money from them at this time, how can my conscience be able to survive?"

Cheng Yue said: "It's winter now, and food is stored everywhere. In just over a dozen days, how can you be short of food? Wait for a few more days."

Yu Jingyang patted the small table in front of him and said to Cheng Yue: "Use it here to drink. It's cold outside, so it's not easy for you to go there."

Cheng Yue stepped forward, picked up a glass of wine and drank it all, grabbed a piece of meat on the plate and ate it.

The two of them drank for a while, and Cheng Yue said, "The Chief Minister, now the Khitan soldiers are surrounded outside and the war is on. Should the people in Cuidu camp be cooked? It will be a disaster to keep them forever. Once the Khitan soldiers retreated and asked them to escape from the city, they were afraid that they would miss our news."

Yu Jingyang thought for a while and said, "No rush to do this. Although there are not many troops on Hedong Road, according to the usual methods of the court, there should be no rescue. But now, unlike in the past, the three corps have sufficient money and food, and have built railways in recent years, making them prosperous everywhere. Those grand lieutenants have food and soldiers in their hands, and maybe one of them has a sensation. If we really send someone to rescue them, we will be rich and prosperous all our lives when we have no choice."

Cheng Yue was surprised: "Dujian really intends to join the Khitan? He had to ask Cui Duying to give fake news to the Khitans and ask them to lead troops to siege the city. As long as we keep it, we will not only save the money we saved over the years, but also make military achievements. Whether we stay here or transfer to another place, no one will mention the past. If we vote for the Khitan, it will be completely different."

Yu Jingyang grabbed a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth. While placing a title, he said vaguely: "If we can defend this city, no accident, who would be willing to go to the Khitan? But the army outside, and although the soldiers in the city are under our control, there are also Khitans who are mixed in. If one is not good, when the city is really about to be broken, he has to go that road. No matter what, no matter where we go, the money we have made in Tanglong Town over the past few years cannot be lost. This is our reliance on our good life in the future."

Cheng Yue drank two glasses of wine, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He said to Yu Jingyang: "The Chief Minister, after thinking about it, it is best to defend Tanglong Town. With this military merit, even if we are transferred to another place, there will be no hindrance to have military merit. I saw the Khitan soldiers outside the city siege the city, and there were no other siege equipment, only artillery. Their artillery is far from comparable to us. If you can't hit the city wall with one shot, how can you break the city? You have been siegeing the city, but you still want to rely on the Khitan people in the city to serve as your inner support. Since this is the case, we might as well start first and arrest the people in Cuidu Camp for trial and training. The Khitan internal responses are all in one place, and this trouble will be eliminated!"

After hearing this, Yu Jingyang suddenly sat up from the kang, thought for a while, picked up the wine on the table and drank it all, slapped the table and said, "Okay, what you said makes sense, that's what you did! You have to find reliable people in this matter, not only do you have to kill all the things you know about us, but also those who know about us-"

Speaking of this, Yu Jingyang made a neck wiping action, and Cheng Yue understood it.

Since Du Zhongxiao left, the first Zhijun was fine. Since the second term, because the Volcanic Army has developed too fast, and the annual commercial tax figure in Tanglong Town is huge, the Zhijun has seized its power, so Zhijun has no longer cared about it. Now a supervisor of the Zhijun who is truly responsible for Tanglong Town's affairs, and Yu Jingyang, the military chief who is stationed here.

Yu Jingyang was greedy for money by nature. How could he stand in such a place? Most of the business in the city was directly under the jurisdiction of the General Secretary. When Du Zhongxiao built this place, the garrison was not allowed to intervene in the system. Apart from cheating on food and drink and getting some small benefits from merchant shops, Yu Jingyang had no way to make money. How could he be content? He took his mind to the outside of the city.

With swords and soldiers in his hand, Yu Jingyang used means to clean up all the money earned and took a commission on his own. He was not satisfied with this, and he had sex with Yelu Buhua, smuggled contraindicated goods, trafficked people, and took prostitutes and gambling. There was nothing he dared not do. He made some money over the years, but he also blamed many people. Yu Jingyang was ruthless and cautious, and had not caused any trouble for several years. Until not long ago, the Privy Council transferred him elsewhere.

It is inevitable that the tea will be cold when people leave. As long as they are transferred, the people Yu Jingyang has offended these years will inevitably expose his crimes. A small prison guard does not have the ability to suppress so many wealthy merchants here. Yu Jingyang thought about it and sent someone to report to Yelu Chongyuan through the previous way of being a traitor with Yelu Buhua. If the Khitan attacks, he can surrender to the city.

Yelu Chongyuanzhen brought troops to the land. Yu Jingyang stayed in the door and sent his deputy Cheng Yue to guard the situation. At the same time, he put the people in contact with the Khitans under house arrest and served them with delicious food and drink, but they were not allowed to contact the Khitans again. The Yekhitans had no evidence. As long as they retreated, Yu Jingyang would kill all those who knew about it, and no one knew about this. With this great military merit, no one would pursue it.

Come out of the house, the cold wind blows on your body, like a knife cut. The snow under your feet has not melted, and it is slippery when you walk, and you will fall down if you accidentally.

After a while, Cheng Yue's wine slowly woke up, and he couldn't help but mutter. Yu Chongyang was cruel and ruthless in his work, leaving no room for anything. He killed all the people who were in the information, and what should he do if he had left him? If he wanted to keep it safe, Cheng Yue hesitated.

As Yu Jingyang works in recent years, Cheng Yue has also made a lot of money. Tanglong Town is convenient, and it has been replaced by gold and silver ingots. However, most of the money is taken away by Yu Jingyang. He is just a small head, but he does most of the things himself. Now at the critical moment, Yu Jingyang is drinking comfortably in the house, but he has to clean up his hands.

At this moment, a soldier came to report like a flying man: "Tixia, a group of knights came from the hillside outside, holding the flag of our Song Dynasty!"

Cheng Yue hurriedly asked, "Did you see clearly? Who is coming? Are you reinforcements?"

The soldiers crossed their hands: "When they returned to Tizhi, the small ones couldn't see it clearly. The flag was the flag of our Song Dynasty, and the rest were not familiar with it."

"Take me to see!" Cheng Yue turned around and ran towards the city.

When I climbed to the top of the city, I saw some figures on the hillside not far away. A big flag was on the top of the mountain, and the big "Song" character fluttered in the wind, which was very conspicuous. Because it was too far away, I could only see this flag clearly, and the rest could not be seen clearly.

After observing for a while, Cheng Yue said, "It seems that reinforcements have arrived. I don't know where the troops are coming so quickly. There are few nearby states that cannot be achieved. There are tens of thousands of Khitan soldiers outside, so they will not come to die."

The reinforcements had arrived. When Cheng Yue remembered what Yu Jingyang had ordered just now, he was anxious and said to the general guarding the city: "Look at our flag on the opposite mountain, are we coming? If there is any abnormal movement, report it to me quickly. I will go back now and discuss with the governor."

The general crossed his hands to respond, and Cheng Yue hurriedly stepped down the city wall and quickly walked towards the gate of the governor's office.
