Chapter 410: This king wants to send troops to Xixiao
A severe drought caused chaos throughout Qingshan City.
Today, Yuanchuan has been besieged by Xiang's army, so it is even more impossible for food to be transported in from outside.
Today's rebels are trapped in this world, relying on what little old food is left to survive.
Food prices in Qingshan City have also been rising again and again in the past few days, and they are slowly losing control.
Yan Ruchu looked at the street. There were much fewer people on the street than before. Sometimes when a gust of wind blew, she would feel a little desolate.
His face was heavy and his heart was extremely anxious.
'If this continues, Qingshan City will be finished...'
This was unexpected. This severe drought came too suddenly.
All previous arrangements were broken.
The scholar standing next to Yan Ruchu seemed to see in his eyes the loss of life, and the entire Qingshan City would be destroyed.
Yan Ruchu asked: "Mr. Zhu..."
The scholar looked at him and called His Highness.
Yan Ruchu asked: "What should Yan do..."
The scholar fell silent and did not answer for a long time.
Yan Ruchu understood, he sighed and said, "It turns out it was fate."
The only way out is probably to fight out.
But it is not easy to fight out from Changguan Road. Today's rebel army is like a turtle in a urn, ready to be slaughtered...
"The fields are exhausted, the food reserves are insufficient, and the people in Qingshan City are panicked."
No matter how Yan Ruchu looked at it, he was destined to die.
The scholar glanced at Yan Ruchu. He thought for a long time and wanted to say something, but in the end he did not speak.
Yan Ruchu looked at Mr. Zhu and asked again: "Is there really no other way?"
The scholar shook his head, still denying it.
Yan Ruchu's eyes suddenly met the scholar beside her.
The scholar said: "Your Highness, Xiaosheng really has no choice."
Yan Ruchu was silent for a long time and stopped asking any more questions.
He suddenly remembered something and said: "Please ask Mr. Zhu to accompany Yan for a walk."
The scholar said: "Your Highness, there is no need to be polite."
Yan Ruchu took the scholar to Chuanfeng Alley and stopped in front of the courtyard.
The door in front of me was closed, and it seemed like it was lifeless.
Yan Ruchu clicked the door bolt, but no one responded for a long time.
He opened his mouth and said, "Yan Ruchu came to see you sir!"
Yan Ruchu stood respectfully at the door, but still no one answered.
He looked back at Mr. Zhu.
But I heard the scholar say: "Your Highness, no one is in the courtyard."
Yan Ruchu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
He thought for a while and then looked at the people beside him.
He walked forward and knocked on the door.
"Knock knock..."
There was a knock on the door.
Wang Sanniang hid in the house with Ruyi and Ping An.
"Don't make any sound." Wang Sanniang covered the mouths of the two children to prevent them from making any sound.
She heard that people in the city had begun to rob food and money. Under the current situation, no matter who was outside the door, they could not open the door.
"Is there anyone at home?" Yan Ruchu asked.
Seeing that no one agreed, he looked at the scholar behind him again.
The scholar just nodded to Yan Ruchu, indicating that there was someone in the courtyard.
When Yan Ruchu found out, she shouted to the courtyard: "Master, I don't mean any harm. I just want to ask where Mr. Chen from the next courtyard has gone."
In that room, Ruyi looked at her mother and whispered: "Mom, are they looking for Uncle Chen?"
Wang Sanniang hissed, shook her head and said, "Whether it's true or not, you can't go out! You can't agree to it either!"
Ruyi opened her mouth and closed it obediently.
Seeing her mother like this, she was a little scared.
Yan Ruchu couldn't help but sigh when he saw this. He took back his hand and said, "Let's go, let's ask my family."
The scholar said nothing and followed Yan Ruchu.
After leaving Chuanfeng Alley, Yan Ruchu looked at the shops outside and saw that a drug store was still open, so she walked in.
When Dr. Wang saw someone coming in, he put down the book in his hand and asked, "What medicine are you taking?"
Yan Ruchu said: "The doctor has misunderstood. I want to ask the doctor about someone."
Doctor Wang muttered: "Not for taking medicine?"
Yan Ruchu then asked: "Does the doctor know about Mr. Chen who lives in the alley?"
"You guys are looking for Mr. Chen."
Doctor Wang said: "Unfortunately, Mr. Chen has left."
Yan Ruchu paused and asked, "Leaving?"
Doctor Wang nodded and said, "I left three months ago."
Yan Ruchu was startled and asked: "Then...where did Mr. Chen go and when did he come back?"
Doctor Wang shook his head and said, "I don't know where he went, but I heard from Mr. Chen that it will take at least three years for him to come back."
Yan Ruchu was stunned for a moment and murmured: "Is this so..."
"...Thank you, doctor."
He said something, and seemed a little lost when he said this.
The last glimmer of possibility was shattered.
Yan Ruchu sighed, he never thought that one day he would end up in this situation.
He did not lose to humans, but to natural disasters.
It means that God wants to kill me.
Yan Ruchu went back and sat in the main hall of the palace all night. After one night, she fell ill on the bed, as if she had lost her soul.
…
There in the capital city.
Zhao Zhen received the urgent report from Yuancuan.
According to reports from spies in Yuanchuan, the drought in the southern region continues, the price of food in Qingshan City rises, and the King of Nan falls ill in the palace.
"God help me!!"
Zhao Zhen stood up from the table.
Early the next morning, he summoned his ministers to discuss the matter in the imperial study.
"My lords, please take a look at this."
The contents of the memorial were circulated back and forth among several ministers.
Zhao Zhen glanced at the crowd and asked, "What do you think?"
The military general on the side stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the rebels are already a turtle in the urn and can be removed in an instant. The general is willing to lead his army there and kill him without leaving a single piece of armor behind!"
Wen Chen added: "What the general said is true, but we must be careful. As far as we know, there are still 80,000 rebels in Yuanchuan. If they jump over the wall in a hurry, things may change!"
"Wei Chen seconded the proposal."
"I also second the proposal."
Zhao Zhen began to think after listening.
All indeed make sense.
But that's not what he cares about.
But I heard Zhao Zhen's voice change and she said, "I want to send troops to attack Xixiao. What do you think?"
The generals and civil servants in the imperial study were all startled when they heard this.
And when Zhao Zhen stopped calling them 'Qing', they also realized that the king had no intention of discussing with them, and no matter what they said, the result would not change.
After a short silence, a general knelt down and said.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Immediately, everyone knelt down one after another and said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Zhao Zhen laughed loudly.
Now that he is already dying, he is rarely in a happy mood.
That night he put on his battle armor in the royal study and danced the Emperor's Sword.
After breathing for a moment, his eyes fell on the withered green plums on the table.
