Chapter 361 Xiliang Iron Cavalry Siege?
"This, this, this!" Liu Mang and Lu Bu were really blinded by what was in front of him. Liu Mang had not seen much of the world, while the other Lu Bu, Lu Fengxian, had seen the world. He had been to Luoyang, Chang'an, and these imperial capitals. He had also seen the national treasury and Dong Zhuo plundered gold and silver when he burned Luoyang. He had also seen the cars of gold, silver and jewelry, and the rows of various treasures and antiques. Lu Bu had seen them before him. Dong Zhuo even asked him to send troops to protect the carriages, but the scenes in front of him still made Lu Bu stunned.
He didn't expect that there was such a dark hall under the Shouchun Palace, where gold, silver and jewelry were piled up like mountains of gold, silver and jewelry.
"How could it be, how could there be such gold and silver!" Everyone brought was shocked by the scene in front of him.
"I'm afraid there are hundreds of thousands of gold here!" Lu Bu came back to his senses. He had seen more wealth so he could quickly come back to his senses!
"All 220,000 gold!" Yang Hong was very calm and revealed the number that the first brother made everyone present take a breath. Ten thousand gold is the foundation of those aristocratic families for hundreds of years. Ten thousand gold can be considered as wealthy as a country. Even the royal family does not have such behavior. You must know that when Emperor Ling of Han was still alive, a grand lieutenant was only ten thousand gold, and there were twenty-two grand lieutenants here.
"Uncle Hong! Why is this happening here!" Liu Mang frowned and asked, "Who doesn't like money, but Liu Mang seemed to know where this money came from."
"The head of the family, all the money is left by the first lord!" The first lord in Yang Hong's mouth was Liu Mang's other cheap father-in-law Yuan Shu and Yuan Highway. This is a master who has been the emperor. Although he has only been a few dozen days, he is still a lonely person.
Half of the money and grain of Yuan Shu were obtained from Yangzhou and Yuzhou. He was slaughtered by the express delivery of the two states. The other half was given by the Yuan family in Yuzhou. The Yuan family's fourth generation and three dukes were an ancient gentry who had been going through hundreds of years with a very deep foundation. The Yuan family had only two heirs, the first one was Yuan Shao, and the other one was Yuan Shu Yuan Highway, which was Yuan Shao. Later, he developed towards Hebei, Jizhou, and He did not return to the old Yuzhou Central Plains, the Yuan family, but Yuan Shu
Returning to Yuzhou, he invaded Yangzhou with Yuzhou as the foundation, occupied the Yangtze River Basin and planned to plan for the Central Plains. Therefore, the Yuan family's foundation was all supporting Yuan Shu. There was also Yuan Shu, who was the legitimate son of the Yuan family. Although Yuan Shao was Yuan Shu's brother, he was born by a maid. Yuan Shu's father was so confused after drinking. His identity and location were incorrect. The Yuan family could not go north to Hebei to support him Yuan Shao! Then he could only support Yuan Shu. The Yuan family, whose disciples and former officials were everywhere, was also the key to Yuan Shu taking over Yangzhou and Yuzhou so quickly.
You should know that before Yuan Shu became emperor, he was the real overlord of the Central Plains. His territory reached the west to Nanyang County in Jingzhou, the east to the present generation of Xuzhou Guangling, and Yangzhou in the north attacked Lao Cao's Yanzhou. Although he did not directly attack Jiangdong in the south, he could easily pacify Jiangdong. Liu Biao in Jingzhou also lived under Yuan Shu's breath. He could be regarded as the overlord of the Central Plains.
At that time, two powerful military alliances in the Han Dynasty were Yuan Shao in the north. He joined forces with Cao Cao and Liu Biao, and Yuan Shu was Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu joined forces with Tao Qian in Xuzhou and Gongsun Zan in Youzhou. Unfortunately, Yuan Shu finally became emperor, completely lost the hearts of the people, and released Sun Ce, the tiger. His two allies, Tao Qian and Gongsun Zan, died one after another, and then they ended up betrayal of their relatives.
The wealth left by Yuan Shu is not lucky. If it is transported, there will be at least thousands of carriages. Yuan Shu is too late to escape after escaping. How could he bring this money with him! After Yuan Shu died, he even told Yang Hong about the money.
Yang Hong knew that the money was not given to Lu Bu directly, because at that time, Lu Bu didn't even have a territory and could not withdraw it even if he told him. Later, Lu Bu took Sun Ce's Wancheng, which gave him a place, but Yang Hong did not show it directly.
There are two reasons for this. The first is that the situation of Lu Bu's army was not good at that time. There were gentry in Ancheng, and there were 100,000 troops led by Sun Ce to attack. How could they get this batch of Qianbo? The second reason is that the money is touching. If such a batch of money is leaked, then wait for a group of hungry wolves to pounce on him! Later, Shouchun was besieged by Liu Bei, so Yang Hong could not say it even more, in case of interfering with the actions of Liu Mang's army. Now that Liu Mang needs money, it is time to take it out. Now the surrounding bad neighbors, Zhang Xiu, Liu Bei, Liu Bei, Wancheng, Yuzhou, have been driven home, and the strongest Lao Cao is also taking care of the pacification of Hebei and cannot pay attention to the Central Plains. It is the time to use this batch of money.
"Why did the road become a foreign land when there was such money?!" Lu Bu was a little confused. This money could be expanded by hundreds of thousands of troops, and even rebuilt defense measures in the city walls, and military rations could be bought for millions of stones.
You must know that Gongsun Zan from Youzhou, who relied on Yanjing in the border area of Hebei, stopped Yuan Shu for more than a year. No matter how miserable Yuan Shu is, he can stop Lao Cao for several years!
"Mr. Wen, the first lord thought so at the beginning, but he didn't dare to take out this batch of money!" Yang Hong shook his head with a bitter smile. It would be great if he was really hungry as as simple as Lu Bu said. Yuan Shu was really famous when he was promoted to emperor. The ancients followed the heaven, earth, the king, the relatives and teachers. He was rebellious. Although so many princes in the world had the intention of being unjust, as long as the one from Xu Du lived well, he would not dare to come out to be king, let alone the emperor! After Yuan Shu became emperor, the people's hearts were lost, and the morale of the army was also in turmoil. Many generals defected, such as Chen Lan Lei Bu and others.
Even Sun Ce, the former adopted son of Yuan Shu, drew a clear line with Yuan Shu and even sent troops to attack Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu is rich, but he can't buy anything. Who dares to sell the neighbors around him? Except for Liu Biao in Jingzhou who did not send troops, others came to attack Yuan Shu. Even Liu Bei, who had nothing to do with Yuan Shu, came to join in the fun.
If you have money, you can't buy military rations, if you have troops, you lack generals. Some rebels even turn around to deal with their old lord. Do you think Yuan Shu dares to take out this batch of money? If you take it out, you can only attract those who have not attacked him. Even some rebels want to swallow this batch of money.
"With this batch of money, when you can buy food and grass!" Liu Mang was very excited. In addition to buying food and grass, Liu Mang was also preparing to expand the industrial park. Iron smelting and weapons should be put on the agenda. Liu Mang was even preparing to implement the reserve military farming policy, but he was just suffering from having no money. Now with this batch of money, Liu Mang can summon more craftsmen, and even once the food and grass problems in the past few months have been solved, Liu Mang can also issue a conscript order to completely build Yangzhou, the portal of Jianghuai, into a prosperous ancient capital.
"Uncle Hong, I will remember your first merit this time. I will definitely come to ask Xu Du and ask you for your title. Xu Shu, quickly send me troops from all walks of life. Send the envoys to the places of the major princes, buy food and grass, and buy as much as you want, even three times or four times the price!" With this batch of money, Liu Mang's momentum has really increased greatly. The uncle is rich.
"Yes, lord!" Xu Shu nodded and said.
"Thank you, the head of the family!" Yang Hong has become very indifferent to these fame and fortune. What he wants under Liu Mang is to make his wife truly valued by Liu Mang, so that he can repay the spirit of the first lord in heaven.
Seeing that Yang Hong had no reaction, Liu Mang added another sentence, "Uncle Hong, after today, I will ask you to go to Lujiang to bring Ling'er, Fang'er, Yu'er and the others together. They have disappeared for several months. I miss you very much!" Speaking of Liu Mang's wives, they really have everything.
There are rude people like Lu Bu's baby daughter Lu Qiling. This is a barbaric woman with such strong martial arts skills that Liu Mang can't beat. She is usually disobedient. This time she actually prepared to come to Shouchun alone, which caused the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry to be ambushed by Liu Bei's army for her sake, and Zhang Fan was killed.
Fortunately, Miss Lu is a ignorant and can't touch the journey of Shouchun. Before she left Lujiang, she got lost halfway. In the end, she had no choice but to ask for help from the local government office and was sent back to Wancheng. Lu Bu was angry and would have to be imprisoned. If Miss Lu was caught by Liu Bei's army, Liu Mang really didn't know what to do.
The second is Yuan Fang, a lady from a noble family. Yuan Fang doesn't fight for anything, and she is taciturn like a Lin girl. She needs people's love and looks extremely beautiful. However, Liu Mang is not very satisfied with Yuan Fang's political marriage and forced engagement, so he alienated his concern for Yuan Fang. Liu Mang mentioned Yuan Fang, but Yang Hong was happy, and there was a smile on his old face.
"Yes, old minister, let's go back and prepare now!" Although Liu Mang put Yuan Fang behind Miss Lu, Yang Hong was not angry. After all, Yuan Fang was just a fair wife, and Miss Lu was the real princess.
Liu Mang is the only one who is Da Qiao Qiao Yu. Although Qiao Yu married Liu Mang as a concubine, she is actually the real concubine of the palace in the Liu Mang Palace. She knows everything and knows that what Liu Mang needs to dominate the world ahead is a stable backyard. She is older than Lu Qiling and Yuan Fang, so both of them are called Qiao Yu's sister. She listens to Qiao Yu's words very much, which ensures harmony in the family.
"My father-in-law, Lujiang's money is no longer needed to be transported. You can take another 50,000 yuan with these more than 200,000 yuan! Go and re-establish the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry!" Liu Mang finally thought of his cheap father-in-law Lu Bu.
Lu Bu also turned his eyes white and finally remembered his father-in-law, "No need, you can keep the 50,000 gold for now!" Lu Bu knew that this cheap son-in-law Yangzhou was a place to swallow money, and the tens of thousands of gold he brought had almost been consumed in less than a month, but it was no wonder, who made Yangzhou go all in a mess! It was no wonder that Liu Mang's army had achieved great achievements, such as improved bed crossbows, siege weapon crossbows, even naval warships, and this thing called cement.
This cement is not only used for civilian purposes, but can also be used to build city defenses. Many city defenses are made of wood, and they are most afraid of fire attacks, especially some large naval camps. Once fire attacks, it is difficult to extinguish, and it is much better to use cement instead. Moreover, it is more convenient to obtain materials. When it is not used, it is just a pile of powder, which turns into hard rocks when used. Unlike ordinary bluestone, they are all piece by piece, very huge and difficult to transport.
The use of some of the gold and silver trucks as a deposit for purchase also made Shouchun City busy and hundreds of cars. Soon it became dark. Liu Mang looked bored, with Gao Shun, a cold-faced man, these soldiers and officials should not be corrupt. Liu Mang was very relieved and went back to rest.
But Liu Mang had not yet fallen asleep! Suddenly, the news came from outside that Cheng Yu sent someone to send him. Liu Mang's sleepiness disappeared completely. "Report to the lord, the cavalry under the city, the cavalry under the city, and many cavalry were all Western Liang Iron Cavalry! There were thousands of people!"
"What!" Liu Mang started to do it directly. "The person comes to wear armor for me!" Xiliang Iron Cavalry? There is actually Xiliang Iron Cavalry. Zhang Xiu is really tired of living. There is actually Xiliang Iron Cavalry sent here. What are you trying to do? Attack Yangzhou!
