Chapter 976 Dilemma
"Sure enough, Daoist Wu Yazi... has a big appetite. Liu Hai, go and prepare some more fragrant meat." Zhang Cheng originally wanted to praise a few words, but he looked down and saw that there was only half a pot of fragrant meat left.

Tianya chatted while eating, the taste was too delicious for Tianya who was addicted to eating dog meat for the first time, Tianya has a big appetite, this food does not cause any pressure for him.Fragrant meat and shochu go well together. After taking a bite of the meat, you want to drink it. After drinking the wine, you feel that the taste in your mouth is weak, and you want to eat another piece of meat.

The method of this meat is between stewed and braised, more braised, the taste is not light but not so salty.Tianya also likes this method very much. It should be stewed in a clear soup pot until it is half mature, and then braised in brown sauce. The soup used in the braised sauce is also in the clear soup pot, so the original flavor is kept, and the taste of braised sauce is added.

Zhang Cheng's bangs are good at this, so this method is also their own creation.It's just that I didn't expect this expert to be so good at eating, he not only eats a lot but also drinks a lot.Originally, one pot was enough for two people to eat, but now it's been half a pot, and neither of them has eaten much...

"Let's go, I bought a whole dog during the day, and I didn't finish it, as long as Daoist Wu Yazi likes it, if there is not enough food, the two of us brothers will go out and steal one immediately to satisfy Daoist Wu Yazi .”

Zhang Chengdao: "There's so much nonsense, go quickly."

Tian Ya didn't mind either, and continued to eat the fragrant meat in the pot, with a large pile of bones already placed in front of him.The wine is good, the meat is good, and Tianya had a pleasant evening.In fact, Tian Ya feels that this kind of life is not bad. It is a bit lonely to travel all over the world by himself, and it is quite comfortable to drink and chat with someone occasionally.

Soon Liu Hai brought another pot, and added some charcoal by the way. When eating the dog meat pot, it should be scalded to keep the soup in the pot boiling, so that it tastes more delicious.

After a full meal, Tian Ya wiped his mouth in satisfaction.Zhang Cheng and Liu Hai felt that they didn't eat much, and they didn't even drink much wine.

Tian Ya is also the first time to eat dog meat, of course it is fresh.Regardless of the taste and taste, it is unprecedented, and I couldn't hold back for a while and ate a little more.

Tian Ya is not the kind of person who likes to show off, and he never knows what politeness is.When eating, of course, it is a competition of speed, whoever grabs it will get to eat.

Of course, it also depends on whom.There is no need for Tian Ya to be polite in front of these two brothers, they don't care about their impression of him.But if the two sides switch positions, these two are extremely masters, and if Tian Ya needs them to teach martial arts... Tian Ya is also very confident in his kung fu of pretending to be a grandson.

After eating, Tian Ya went back to his room to sleep.Different from other people, how much Tian Ya drinks will not affect his current work, it just protects Li Hongmao's safety, as long as the other party's skill is not too much higher than his own.

After waking up from sleep, the butler ordered the food to be delivered to Tianya's room for him to eat alone. Tianya's treatment in Chu Palace was second only to Li Hongmao, and this was also the privilege he gave Tianya.Except for Zhang Cheng Liu Hai, everyone in Chu Palace thought that Li Hongmao's taste had changed and he liked men.

Tianya temporarily settled in Chu Wangfu. Although his life in the rivers and lakes was different from what he had imagined, Tianya felt quite satisfied. He felt that such a working life should be experienced to be considered a perfect life.

Jinling
Li Jing was in a depressed mood, and now Shouzhou was still able to hold on for the time being, but because of Liu Yanzhen's impulsiveness, all the food, grass, soldiers and horses that were originally sent to Shouzhou were outside Shouzhou.

Calling him an idiot is an insult to the great adjective idiot, and Liu Yanzhen is simply an idiot.The difference between an idiot and an idiot is that the idiot can still be saved, but the idiot is completely hopeless.

Even the news of Liu Yanzhen's death could not completely dispel the anger in Li Jing's heart. He really wanted to dig out Liu Yanzhen's body and behead him again.

No, killing him once is not enough. Even if this kind of person cuts him into pieces, he will not be sorry for the soldiers who sacrificed for no reason on the front line, and he will not be sorry for so many supplies and food.How many people frugally pay in taxes?This batch of supplies and food is enough to kill him thousands of times.

Although Nantang Jiangshan's surname is Li, but Li Jing himself has never been so extravagant, how much is that?That bastard Liu Yanzhen actually gave these things and the lives of thousands of soldiers to the enemy for nothing... Angry, so angry that killing people is no longer enough to describe Li Jing's mood, he was so angry that he almost committed suicide.

Li Jing also hated herself, why did she entrust this important task to Liu Yanzhen.

At that time, the officials recommended him, even though Li Jing knew that some of the people with higher official positions recommended him because they were bribed by Liu Yanzhen, and the other part followed the trend, even if they didn't receive money, they didn't want to fight against others, so they did it. Formed a situation where all the civil servants and military generals recommended one person.

Being an emperor is also very helpless, this is simply forcing Li Jing to make a decision.Li Jing could not accept it, and could send other people there, but he didn't want to offend the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

After thinking twice, Li Jing handed over this task to Liu Yanzhen.Although this person is difficult to take on the important task, this task is really not difficult.The whole process was within the territory of the Southern Tang Dynasty, just transporting food and grass from one place to another, and guarding nearly ten thousand soldiers by his side...

Li Jing was originally worried that Liu Yanzhen would fill his own pockets. After all, the amount of materials was extremely large and the price was expensive.The reason why Liu Yanzhen wants to fight for this position is nothing more than to get some benefits from it, which is also expected by Li Jing.

But now Li Jing understands that he would rather Liu Yanzhen fill his own pocket, or even take half of it, as long as he sends half of the food and supplies to Shouzhou, he will be satisfied.But now all these materials have fallen into the hands of Chai Rong...

Fortunately, fortunately, Li Renshan had the foresight to send people to the nearby area to borrow a lot of food, grass and supplies, so now Shouzhou can be regarded as guarded.As long as there is delay, the army will definitely withdraw when the Spring Festival begins next year. If they don't retreat before the first spring rain falls... then they will kill every single one of them.

Li Jing did not report any hope for this, because Chai Rong was very afraid of the Southern Tang navy and had been trying to find a way.If he had a way to deal with the navy, basically Southern Tang would have no means of attack and defense. If that was the case, Southern Tang would definitely be eaten away by the Great Zhou.

Now Li Jing can only reassure himself, although Liu Yanzhen lost the food and supplies this time, but Li Jing has no choice but to go out and fight hard to get the food and grass back.So the current situation can only be accepted, I hope I can survive this cold winter...

"Father, are you still angry about Liu Yanzhen?" Li Hongji suddenly appeared beside Li Jing, Li Jing was startled, why did this child walk silently?

Li Jing nodded and said: "Yes~ I spent a lot of money to prepare this batch of food and grass supplies. I didn't expect to be given to Chai Rong by that bastard Liu Yanzhen. You also know how much this batch of supplies cost. The white silver..."

"It's not a big deal. Liu Renshan has collected enough food and grass from the surrounding areas, so there is no need to worry about it. Besides, Shouzhou is extremely strong, and no one can break it even if there is no food and grass. Unless Master Zong Xin comes back alive to help Chai It is a pity that Master Zongxin is dead, and Da Zhou is no longer capable. Although that Zhao Kuangyin has been with Master Zongxin all the time, he is still far behind Master Zongxin himself."

Li Jing nodded and said: "That's true, Shouzhou is the defensive fortress that I have been running for most of my life, and I have done a lot of considerations. It is definitely the strongest fortress in the world. If there is a strong attack, Chai Rong will never even think about breaking into it for the rest of his life. "

Li Jing is still very confident in Shouzhou's defense. Now Chai Rong has sent hundreds of thousands of strong men to forcibly attack the city, but the impact on Shouzhou is actually not great. As long as the city gates are not opened, there will be Liu Renshan. Especially slow, it is absolutely guaranteed that no matter how many people come, it will be useless.

"Father, there is no serious problem in Shouzhou now. With General Huangfu and Liu Renshan sitting in the town, Chai Rong will definitely not be able to get in, so there is no need to worry. Now my son is thinking about another thing."

Li Jing said: "Tell me, I probably guessed it too."

"Of course, I have nothing else to do. The second brother, the king of Chu, is in a critical situation now, and Tanzhou has a crucial position in the revenue of the treasury. The salt tax is a huge amount. Zhennan King Yang Ying covets Tanzhou. It's been a long time, and now Yang Ying has been sending killers to assassinate the second brother, and if things go on like this, sooner or later something will happen."

Li Hongji also mustered up his courage to tell Li Jing about this matter, because he also knew that Li Jing was in a dilemma. If there was a way, how could he not save his second brother?But the situation in Shouzhou looks dangerous now, but it is actually very stable. Li Jing should have time to think about the life and death of his second brother...

Li Jing said: "These words are not without reason, how do you want to solve it?"

"That's needless to say? Of course, he sent someone to kill Yang Ying directly. He wanted to kill this grandson for a long time, but he dared to send an assassin to assassinate his second brother."

Li Hongji and Li Hongmao have the same father and mother, and their relationship has always been the best.For Li Hongji, he wouldn't mind if Jiang Shan gave his younger brother half of the seat.So after knowing that Li Hongmao was in danger, Li Hongji was also in a hurry to get angry all day long.

Li Hongji had no choice. Although the prince had a high status, he had little real power, let alone military strength.Even if there are troops, it is impossible to send them directly to attack King Zhennan.Li Hongji actually had no choice but to ask Li Jing to find a way to save his second brother.

Li Jing said: "If I can kill him, why do I still have to work so hard? I have sent so many assassins to no avail, and most of them have no chance to come back. What's more, now is a critical period, and I can't give Yang Ying's family any rebellion." excuses. If Yang Ying rebelled, it would be internal and external troubles, and Southern Tang could not bear such a blow."

"No...Father, how dare you send assassins to assassinate Yang Ying before?"

"There was no war before. If Yang Ying dared to rebel, I would kill him immediately. Now that we are fighting, I can't send troops to him, so I am afraid that he will rebel."
