Chapter 2125 The last fight

Yu Anran understood why the gentry in the city wanted to get Yang He away from Henan.

Cutting off money is like killing a parent. As long as Yang He is in Henan for one day, the grain merchants and the gentry behind him will not take the opportunity to make money in war.

If he comes from the perspective of a grain merchant, he will also try his best to move Yang He away.

"Now you understand. Even without you and me, Yang He will not stay in Henan for a long time, so don't think about anything to stabilize the price of grain. Those grain merchants dare not kill Yang He directly, but it is still OK to kill local officials like you and me." Prefect Lin said with a warning in his words.

Yu Anran knew the facts the other party said.

Some officials were as strong as a cow after taking office, but died of illness or accidental deaths. The court may turn a blind eye to such matters, but those who are officials in the local area know that.

Many times, local officials are unwilling to do things that force local gentry to impose their fears of an accident one day.

Prefect Lin looked at Yu Anran and said, "Yang He will sooner or later leave. We still have to be an official here. For some things, just turn a blind eye. Can you lose your share of yours and me?"

As he said that, he raised his hand and patted Yu Anran on the shoulder.

"The Zhou royal palace is the biggest leader among grain merchants. Now His Highness, the King of Zhou, sent people to send food and money to support Yang He in suppressing the rebellion. It is difficult to guarantee that he would not stand on Yang He's side." Yu Anran reminded the other party that he wanted to raise the grain price and could not avoid the Zhou royal palace.

The Zhou Palace, which has a large amount of land, is the largest grain merchant in Kaifeng Palace.

Hearing this, Priest Lin smiled and said, "Although His Highness of Zhou is older, he is not awesome. He offended Yang He or the people of Kaifeng Mansion. He has his own account in his heart."

"It seems that you have made arrangements. In order to move Yang He from Henan, you have already planned it thoroughly." Yu Anran sighed.

Everyone in Henan was plotting against Yang He. In order to suppress the rebellion, Yang He did not have any achievements. It would be difficult for him to not be arrested by the court and return to Kyoto.

Prefect Lin said: "If he wants to be really capable, no matter how good the plan is, it is useless. Not only does he fail to fight the rebellion in Henan, but he has blocked the wealth of so many people. Some people have long been unhappy about him. I just happened to be pushing this from behind."

"Yang He was really taken away. What should we do if the price of grain in the city? Without Yang He pressing on it, we can't suppress those grain merchants at all." Yu Anran said worriedly.

Upon hearing this, the prefect Lin glanced at him and said dissatisfiedly: "Why are you still struggling with this matter? What does the people cannot afford to eat food have to do with you? Besides, as long as we guard Kaifeng Prefecture City and prevent the people in the city from suffering from the disaster, it is already a great blessing to them. Even if some poor legs starve to death, it can be considered a big deal. The key is to protect Kaifeng Prefecture City."

As he said that, his palm patted Anran on his forearm.

Even if he is not happy, Yu Anran is useful to him, so he can only win him over for the time being.

A few days passed.

The grain prices in Kaifeng Prefecture City doubled, which made Yang He even more dissatisfied with these grain merchants in the city.

"Good news, supervisor, good news." Chen Yongfu walked in from outside with a happy face.

Yang He hurriedly put down the official document in his hand, looking at Chen Yongfu who was walking in with a nervous expression and a hint of eagerness.

Chen Yongfu, who entered the room, bowed to Yang He and said excitedly: "The person sent out has brought back the exact news. The rebels outside the city did not deliberately show weakness to lure us out of the city. They did leave Kaifeng Prefecture. It is not clear where they went, but it is true that there are only a few thousand rebels left outside the city."

"Can the plan to sneak attack be implemented like this?" Yang He asked nervously.

The grain merchants in the city were almost unable to suppress them, but if they could lift the siege of Kaifeng Prefecture, the price of grain would be limited even if it rose.

Of course, his forced silencing of grain prices was not entirely for the sake of the people, but also his own plan.

He had already learned through some channels that he had dissatisfied with him in the court that if it were not for the protection of the emperor, he would have been abandoned and imprisoned.

In order not to let more Henan people fall to the rebels because they can't afford to eat and strengthen the rebels, he could only try his best not to let grain merchants make a fortune while taking advantage of the war, and even if they offend the forces behind these grain merchants, they would do whatever they could.

Because it was not the forces behind these grain merchants who were involved in his life and death, but whether he could satisfy the emperor in the war in Henan, so he would rather offend the grain merchants in Henan than find a way to reverse the situation in Henan.

"Don't worry, the soldiers are on standby at any time." Chen Yongfu said affirmatively.

"Haha, okay, this time I will definitely defeat the rebels."

Yang He pressed his palm hard on the table.

Before coming to Henan, he was proud and made various plans. Even Huguang and Chuangui's troops were in his plan, but the successive failures made him huddled in Kaifeng Prefecture, making him completely understand that no matter how good the plan is, it is useless without the strength to match it.

Now that we have the opportunity to destroy the rebels outside the city, we can finally breathe anger.

If he continues to be in such a stalemate, he is afraid that he will end up like Xiong Tingbi.

"Let the soldiers eat better during the day and take action tonight." Yang He couldn't help but take action. He needed a victory to reverse the view of the Korean Central Committee on him.

Chen Yongfu said: "I have always had enough wine and meat to them these days. Most of the things sent by His Highness the King of Zhou have entered their stomachs. They can die at any time when the supervisor gives the order."

"Okay, during the day, I will take time to see these warriors and hand over all the money I promised to them." Yang He was very concerned about the troops used to sneak attack the rebel camp.

It is related to his career and life, and he has no choice but to take it seriously.

Hearing that Yang He was not only going to see these soldiers who were about to leave the city, but also giving them silver, he hesitated: "It is a good thing for the supervisor to personally boost morale for them, but should we wait for the money? I will give it to them now. Maybe after leaving the city, I won't kill the rebels with all my heart. It's better to wait for others to pay the silver from outside the city."

"No, now koi gives them silver." Yang He said with great affirmation.

He didn't know what Chen Yongfu thought.

Even if these soldiers who went out of the city to kill the enemy successfully broke the rebel camp, there were not many people left to return smoothly. Even if each person gave double the money, it would probably not cost much money. The remaining money would naturally be shared by the people who handled it.

He needed these people to go out of the city to fight for his enemies, so he would never allow anyone to make the idea of ​​making this money, and no one could do it.

Whoever dares to fight this money is to stop his career and take his life.
