Eight Hills in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Liu Yu frowned: "What do you mean, you used military rations instead of the usual warehouse rations to sell aid? Didn't Yin Zhongkan usually separate the two kinds of rations?

Tao Yuanming shook his head: "The situation in Jingzhou is different from that in other places. When the Huan family ruled separately, in order to weaken the power of the local officials and prevent them from paying taxes to the court, they sent troops to conscript them. The grain and grass in the country are also managed militarily and placed in the army's granary. Therefore, the granary is the military ration.

When Yin Zhongkan arrived in Jingzhou, he didn't have much power, and the original Huan family mostly brought these granaries and soldiers and horses to follow Huan Xuan. Yin Zhongkan only had some local soldiers who were not attached to the Gui family. Ma, together with the three or four thousand troops allocated to him by the imperial court when he came from Jiankang, after he arrived in Jingzhou, in order to expand his power, he took the tax revenue of those two years and joined forces with Wang Gong to attack Wang Guobao. In the name of Sima Daozi, a lot of troops have been expanded, and the result is...

Liu Yu took up the conversation: "The result is that there seems to be a lot of troops, but food and grass are a big problem. There is no reserve, and it depends entirely on the new taxes collected in the past, and many people would rather hand over these taxes to Huan Xuan. And don't give it to him, right?

Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "That's right, that's why Yin Zhongkan was called the governor of Jingzhou, but in Huanxuan, Yang Quanqi was the weakest compared to the two men, with more soldiers and less food, and they were not affectionate. In the worst case, there will be big problems.

"This unexpected situation is that big flood?"

Tao Yuanming said calmly, "At that time, there were frequent wars and natural disasters. Even if there were no such floods, the long-term wars and constant conscription would have crushed him sooner or later. If Yin Zhongkan was really smart, he should stop his troops." Xiuwu, internal cultivation of morality, in order to win the hearts of Jingzhou. But he is on the contrary, in the troubled times, he is still a poor soldier to redeem his martial arts, recruiting a large number of men to join the army, so that he can receive less food, and the floods can only be reduced. It’s just an inducement, the root cause of his lack of food is still man-made disasters, or because he recruited too many men in order to maintain a huge army, resulting in too few people plowing the land, and no food left!”

"So those people who have been hit by disasters will be very angry when they have nothing to eat. They think that they are usually conscripted to join the army or serve the army, and they have neglected farming. Once a disaster occurs, they must ask the government and the court for it. Food, this is a matter of course. Yin Zhongkan usually raises troops and stores food. At this time, even if I don’t persuade him to open a warehouse, he can only open a warehouse to release food. Otherwise, even if Huan Xuan doesn’t call, he will Here too the mutiny will be the first.

Liu Yu nodded: "Then what role did you play in this process?

Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "I told Yin Zhongkan that I would go to the people of the Tao family and the tribes hidden in the mountains to raise food and grass for him. He would surely have 500,000 shi of military rations. He thought he had it." This food and grass can be used for fighting, so the plan to escape to Yang Quanqi's place in the north was abandoned, and even lied to Yang Quanqi that he had food and grass here, and asked Yang Quanqi to lead his elite to come here quickly. At the same time, Huanxuan was destroyed.

Liu Yu laughed: "I really have you. No wonder Yang Quanqi brought eight thousand elite soldiers from Yongzhou and came thousands of miles away. When he arrived, he could only drink porridge, which was the kind of porridge that didn't have a few grains. Poor Yang Quanqi, a generation of fierce generals, just like that You have been cheated alive by the pricers, and after a long time, the culprit is still you.

Tao Yuanming said calmly: "If I don't say that, how can I get out? This is just my self-protection plan. Jingzhou's affairs, to be honest, I have been sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight. Yin Zhongkan's subordinates also have Luo Qisheng. For many years, Mu Liao didn't listen to my opinions very much. To him, I was just a signboard of a famous person, which seemed to show that he was close to the Jingzhou scholars. In the end, it was their greed and greed that ruined Yin Zhongkan and Yang Quanqi. Arrogant. As the governor of a state, it is not sad to put the hope of food and grass on some mountain tribes? He usually does not show favor to these mountain tribes, but he asks them to provide food and grass in times of crisis. Why?

Liu Yu nodded: "So, when Yin Zhongkan finally fled and was defeated and captured, you cheated those tokens from him?"

Tao Yuanming nodded: "Yes, I didn't think about the Mafia at first, but when he was escorted back, I happened to supervise and behead him, and Huan Xuan didn't want to."

I want to be accused of killing Yin Zhongkan, a well-known figure in the world, the governor of Jingzhou, and I want to get rid of this dirty work in the mountains, and then falsely accuse me of being killed by rebel soldiers. This gives me a chance, Yin Zhongkan I thought I was from Guixuan, and I could intercede for him and let him live, so I gave me the whereabouts of the guardian token. I got the information and sent him on the road. It turned out afterwards that this guy is really a nerd , this matter really did not lie to me.

Liu Yu let out a long sigh of relief: "If Yin Zhongkan had more thoughtfulness, then these mafia guard tokens would be completely lost.

Tao Yuanming shook his head: "The token is actually nothing. You can make it again if you lose it. Wang Po took me to the former headquarters of the mafia. That's the key. In fact, the mafia at this time Qiankun already has nothing. All the military supplies that have been stored for many years have all perished in the civil war. If Yin Zhongkan still has military equipment, food and grass, how can he end up in this state? He has nothing, what else can he leave for me? "

Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "But you actually used these things to seduce Liu Yi? What kind of mind do you have!

Tao Yuanming said calmly: "Liu Yi was my friend before, he likes to be arty and make friends with scholars, and I was on good terms with Wang Po at that time, he wanted to build a relationship with Wang Po, so he started from me, came and went, we I just got acquainted, and I know that he also has a heart that is unwilling to be lonely and ambitious. So, after I obtained the guard token of the Mafia, I took the risk to meet him. Because even though you were not in a position at the time, but It seems that Huan Xuan is more likely to become the emperor who usurped the throne. In terms of emotion and reason, I should find an underground organization that can secretly restrain him. This is the black hand universe.

Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "Then why didn't you come to me? To oppose Huan Xuan, I should be the most powerful one, and why Xi Le didn't come to me even after looking for the fat man?

Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "For the grievances between you and the mafia, no one can find you. If I asked you to join the mafia at that time, you might tie me up to receive the reward.
