Jia Xu waited for another two days in Xinzhou, and after finally confirming that Fulward was indeed unable to come down, he sent a piece of information he had collected and compiled to Chang'an, and Masinde also sent Chen Xi that information at about the same time.
Bian sent a letter.
"Although the positions are somewhat different, in general they are talking about the same thing. Fulward still ran away. Masinde, forget it, let's leave it like that." Chen Xi glanced at the letter roughly.
After determining the cause and effect of the matter, we no longer pay attention to it.
For Chen Xi, the matter has come to this and he has been mentally prepared for a long time. There is no surprise when he sees this scene. After all, he still knows to some extent who Masinde is and what his mentality is.
That's all. There is no need to really hold on to this matter.
"Wen He estimates how many people Fulward can escape?" Li You asked casually.
"Four to five hundred people, that's the most we can get. There can't be more." Chen Xi handed the secret message from Jia Xu to Li You and said, "Really, isn't it good to surrender obediently? If not, just do it yourself.
Just fly back from the south, you have to struggle like this."
"You guy!" Li You looked at the secret message Jia Xu sent back. Hearing Chen Xi's words, he couldn't help but glance at Chen Xi, "I don't believe you don't know why there is such a situation. There are many reasons for this in itself.
The entanglements are intertwined and finally lead to the ending.”
"But in the end, there were only four to five hundred people left." Man Chong had just finished handling the work at hand, and said with a bit of sadness, "In other words, we still ran out of food in the end, right?"
For Bowod and his camel riders who entered the mountains of northern Tibet, the biggest problem was actually not the pursuit of soldiers, but the problem of food.
The average altitude of the Karakoram Corridor is more than 5,000 meters, and this year is in the Little Ice Age. The snow line remains at more than 4,000 meters even in summer. This leads to the route taken by Fulward and his camels.
It is difficult to obtain wild animals as supplies.
Although Fulward, a world-breaking warrior, could rely on his super strength to obtain some ferocious beasts living in such mountainous areas as supplies, but after Fulward flew up, he was observed by the war eagle at a higher altitude.
The probability will be greatly increased. It doesn't matter once or twice, but if it happens more times...
After all, when the camel riders entered the mountains of northern Tibet, there were more than a thousand, close to two thousand people. This was not a scale where Fulward could go out alone and catch one or two ferocious beasts to feed everyone.
Therefore, after this kind of behavior occurs too often, Fulward will be discovered again sooner or later, and then there will be another siege. Although limited by the mountainous terrain, the scale of this siege will be much smaller than before, but this time
The killing will definitely happen when Fulward goes to get food.
If you can't stop Fulward, you can't stop Camel Riding?
In this complicated situation, it is difficult for the number of camel riders that Fulward can bring back to exceed 500. This is a judgment given after calculating some of the support that Fulward can encounter. If these may exist
If none of the support is in place, Fulward may only be able to take dozens of people back.
To be honest, if it comes to that level, Fulward might as well fly back by himself, at least he won't have to bear so much pressure in his heart.
"Yes, when we were walking northeast to prepare for the lower Tibetan area, we were blocked by Mangzhong, and his area commander Sidney died in the battle." Chen Xi nodded and said, "The losses of the Qiang people were also quite serious, but
It can’t be said to be a bad thing at all. At least after this time, their mentality improved a lot when collecting things. As for Mang Zhong’s achievements, let someone specially designate a reward.”
"Marquis Guannei?" Li You suggested casually.
"Well, after all, he is a strong man with inner energy separated from the body and mental image. If Mangzhong can kill, he really needs to be given to a Guanneihou." Chen Xi nodded and said, it was not a big reward, and he didn't care about the other party.
Guarding the country's borders in Tibetan areas was given a more serious meaning. Chen Xi was relatively cautious when dealing with things like titles. After all, these things were really involved in a wide range of things.
"Then we will draw up a plan and wait for the official announcement at the court meeting." Li You nodded after hearing this, "How should Sima Boda solve it?"
Chen Xi was silent for a while after hearing this. In the secret message sent by Jia Xu, Fulward's matters accounted for less than one-fifth, while Sima Lang's matters accounted for almost half. Regarding the situation in Xinzhou, Jia Xu went there in person.
After one trip, many things actually became very clear.
"Boda's mind is still too heavy." Chen Xi was silent for a while and said, "And the current situation, according to Wen He, Boda is most likely bound to Xinzhou, and it is very possible for him to leave like this.
As a result of the turmoil in Xinzhou, there were actually considerable conflicts in many aspects between the local residents of the Thirty-Six Kingdoms and our Han Dynasty people who migrated there, and Boda's handling of it at that time..."
"How about letting Wang Xiu replace Sima Lang?" Li You said directly, "Sima Boda's handling of the matter is wrong, and at this point, the contradictions at the bottom of Xinzhou have accumulated to a certain extent, and sooner or later they will be detonated.
If Sima Lang is left to suppress it, the problem will only get bigger and bigger. It is better to let Wang Xiu take over and detonate the problem as early as possible, and maybe there is a possibility of remedying it."
Jia Xu's intelligence saved Sima Lang's life to a certain extent. After all, Sima Lang's behavior was very problematic, and his starting point was somewhat wrong. However, the current situation in Xinzhou still needs Sima Lang to handle it.
In order to avoid unrest, Jia Xu's suggestion was to protect Sima Lang, and then delay the time until Chen Xi visited the west to resolve these matters.
But Li You obviously doesn't agree with this solution. He wants to influence Chang'an's decision just by using this method, right? OK, I will take you down first and then deal with it. Without you, Sima Lang, I can't deal with it.
Right? What are you thinking about?
"Let's make a compromise, demote my cousin, let Wang Xiu parachute over as the governor of Xinzhou, and demote him as deputy. Wen He's suggestion is correct. If I take away my cousin at this time, Xinzhou will not
When it comes to chaos, the accumulated social conflicts must find a way to vent." Chen Xi sighed and said, in his opinion, dealing with Sima Lang should be done, but not now. As soon as Sima Lang left, the local social conflicts directly broke out.
, that is a new problem.
"Will Sima Lang accept it?" Li You looked at Chen Xi and said with a sneer.
"If he doesn't accept it, then come to Chang'an and live in prison. When I have time to sort out the causes and consequences of Xinzhou, I will examine them one by one." Chen Xi said calmly. He had been bailed out several times, and this time it was really
I don’t want to protect it anymore. The amulet Sima Lang made for himself is pretty good, but it’s just pretty good. If Chen Xi really wants to deal with it, that’s all if he even takes Sima Lang together.
"Okay, Kong Ming, let's work it out." Li You thought for a while and it seemed that it was indeed the case, so he stopped entangled and said to Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang started to write down the details with an expressionless face, and the matter was basically finalized.
"The next step is Central Asia. According to Wen He, the current situation in Central Asia has actually been brought under control. The locust plague has come to an end. Although the major families are in a state of embarrassment, they have managed to overcome this disaster and are carrying out autumn grain harvesting.
Replant?" Chen Xi said casually, Chen Xi was quite satisfied with the performance of the Han family.
As for the information about Laguerre and Mosul, they were only mentioned briefly in this secret letter. For the Han Empire, these two people were actually of little significance, even if they were entrenched in a certain area in Central Asia.
, occupying a territory about the same size as that of the top aristocratic families, they are just a piece of cake for the Han Empire, and they can even be taken down at any time if necessary.
The Han Empire had always turned a blind eye and was too lazy to care about these two people. It was more because Chen Xi was waiting for the Han family to develop and used these two things as whetstones. Now these two people can't bear it and run away. For the overview of the world,
For Chen Xi, it is only worth two lines in the secret letter that he reads, no more is really worth it.
"If we replant now, the problem will be huge. The problem of the Anxi survivors has not been solved yet." Fazheng frowned and looked at Chen Xi and asked. This is not a joke. If we replant autumn grain at this time, it is very likely that we will just replant.
After planting, they were stolen and dug up. After all, the Parthian survivors really started to eat people due to the locust plague. Under such circumstances, it was normal to steal the seeds just planted by the Han family.
After all, walking out of Uburg and hiding in Uburg are completely different concepts. Inside Uburg, there are heavy protections. Even if the Parthian survivors have any ideas, it will be difficult to capture Uburg without top-notch siege equipment.
, and after coming out of Wubao, even if the Parthian survivors were bare-handed and their eyes were green with hunger, they could still take away some Han people even if they risked their lives.
After all, if you want to farm, you will need a lot of land. With the current situation of the collapse of order in Central Asia, it is difficult for the Han family to hold on to large acres of land. It is easy for the seeds to be planted and eaten by hungry Parthian survivors.
It fell off, finally sprouted, and was dug up and eaten by the Parthian survivors. It finally sprouted, and was dug up and eaten by the Parthian survivors.
In short, the Parthian remnants who have gone crazy with hunger will dare to eat anything as long as it is edible under the current environment. As for the issue of life and death, it is now time. If you don't fight hard, you will definitely starve to death. At least there is something to fight for.
The only way to survive, and more importantly, to risk one's life is to be stabbed to death at most. The pain will not last long, but starving to death will be painful for a long time.
Cannibalism is already an adjective in the current Han Dynasty, but for the Parthian survivors in Central Asia, that is basically the state. After experiencing one or two rounds of locust plagues, there was no green in Central Asia. In order to survive, the Parthian survivors
We have reached the point where we have no other choice.
"It's not a big problem. The Central Asian family has already organized young people to form a nursery team to patrol day and night. Moreover, each family that has been able to survive until now has basically left special terrain on its own territory that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Relying on
Farming on this kind of terrain is not a big problem." Chen Xi said with a calm expression.
Of course, the defense capabilities of this special terrain are not as good as those of Uburg and Bastion, but compared to Uburg and Bastion, the area inside this special terrain is very large. After guarding the entrance, you can just farm in this place.
, the safety is much higher than farming outside Uburg and Bastion.
Of course, there are some other difficulties in farming in this kind of terrain, but compared with the situation in other places where farming has to be done well and the yield is greatly reduced, these difficulties are not difficult at all.
"Speaking of which, why is it basic? Is there any family that doesn't have this awareness?" Zhuge Liang asked with some confusion. It is said that this is all basic common sense. Every plant and tree on the feudal territory, every terrain, etc.
, all require on-site inspections to determine the development method, and this type of terrain is naturally used for self-protection in special periods. How can there be any family who doesn’t know about it?
"The orthodox heirs of the three Guo and Liuyin families are all dead, leaving some old, weak, sick and disabled, who lack knowledge in this area." Chen Xi replied casually.
There is really no way to do this. There are many things that you don’t know because you have never been in contact with them. Even if you see what the other party is doing, you don’t understand the reasons for doing so. So now Guo Zhao can only stay here.
Over at Media Trading City, I watched helplessly as the aristocratic families next to me farmed in those special terrains.
Even Lao Liu, who came back from the Tulan Grassland, took his young men and started farming in the valley of a mountain village next to his previous settlement.
As for why Guo Zhao doesn't understand this kind of thing, but Lao Liu does, what can I say? Lao Liu has really experienced troubled times and has seen the older generation hiding in the mountains to farm and support their families in troubled times, Guo Zhao?
Guo Zhao was still a noble girl at that time, so she knew nothing!
"In this case, by around October, the problems left by the locust plague should be solved. In this way, the remaining problems in Central Asia are Ardashir and Cao Sikong. It is estimated that these two people will have a good fight.
." Fazheng roughly judged the situation in Central Asia and determined that there would be no major chaos in the future, so his eyes naturally fell on Kandahar.
"It should be fine. Cao Sikong is watching from the public. Even if Aldashir is powerful, there won't be any results. Of course, it will be difficult for Cao Sikong to achieve anything." Chen Xi nodded and agreed.
Fazheng's judgment was, "Just ask Fengxiao to pay more attention to this matter in the future. Is there anything else going on here? I'll run away first if nothing happens."
Chen Xi is still very positive about running around every day. After all, if he can work less, he still has to work less. This is called giving more opportunities to those who come after him, so that Kong Ming can develop better. After all, he is an old guy and has nothing to continue to develop.
In terms of ability, it is better to let Kong Mingduo develop more.
"Uh, okay, I'll tell Fengxiao later, have you prepared the gifts? My son is going to celebrate the full moon ceremony soon." Fazheng said without any bottom line.
After all, in the past few years, this group of people gave birth to children, married their sons to wives, and married daughters to their daughters. Every time the Fa was rectified, they had to give him gifts. This time, it was the turn of this group of people to give him gifts.
It's so heartbreaking, it's too much.
"Ready, ready, I will definitely satisfy you when the time comes. I'll run away first." Chen Xi waved his hand to Fazheng, then said a few words to the others, and slipped away.
"What's for lunch?" After Chen Xi ran away, Fazheng looked at Zhuge Liang and asked.
"One of the Eight Treasures of the Emperor." Zhuge Liang said concisely and concisely.
"There is also roasted beef, one piece per person. I feel that the quality of the rice has become better recently. I wonder if the chef has changed." Jiang Wan said with a smile. He has always been very satisfied with the palace's lunch.
"Because Concubine Xian found out about the dirty money collected for purchases in the dining room some time ago and took it away. The new arrival's hands and feet can be cleaner, so at the same price, the food can be better." Fazheng said casually, he
Originally, I didn't care much about this kind of thing, but seeing the same amount of money approved and my food getting worse every day, Fazheng had no choice but to find someone to investigate.
Si Niang personally took action, directly overturned the dining room, and captured a lot of rats. Fazheng was also helpless about this. To be honest, it is not that you are not allowed to take advantage of it, but your dining room serves the central court.
Officer, it turns out that you are getting worse and worse. Do you want to die?
Just eat something good, but if you have to do something so big, we don’t know whether the food is delicious or not?
Damn it, you are really looking for death!
"Ah, something like this happened?" Jiang Wan said in surprise.
"Well, a lot of things happened." Chen Xi, who ran back from outside, followed the words, and then a group of people turned their heads to look at Chen Xi, who was returning.
"What's going on? Did you forget something?" Li You asked casually, and even glanced sideways at Chen Xi's previous position. This was good in the middle of the year. The senior officials of the Han Dynasty were all handling official business together.
So everyone knows something, and after a while, everyone will go back to their own territory. After all, not everyone is used to staying together all the time.
"No, no, no, it's not that I forgot something." Chen Xi quickly sat back in his seat, then supported his head with both hands, with a solemn look on his face.
Li You looked at Chen Xi with confusion. What is going on? The captain is here? No, the captain is here. How can Chen Xi be frightened like this? Are you kidding me? Sometimes when Liu Bei comes, Chen Xi still runs away.
He even took Liu Bei to run with him. What's there to be afraid of? He also had such a serious look on his face.
However, before Li You could figure it out, he saw the heads of the Gan and Shi families appeared outside the Political Yuan, striding towards the Political Yuan. To be honest, Li You also felt a sudden thought at this time.
His face was a little green. Seeing Li You's expression change, other people also followed Li You's line of sight and looked over. Then the faces of everyone present became ugly.
Compared with other people who come to the Political Yuan, the people in the Political Yuan are now most afraid of the heads of the Gan and Shi families. In the past, these two people came mostly to ask for money. The Han Dynasty had money and they were not afraid. But starting from the year before last, these two
There must be nothing good when the family comes. It’s either a blizzard or a locust plague. This time the head of the family is here! Damn it!
I feel like I really can’t finish writing now. After reinstalling the computer, the vocabulary library is lost and my efficiency is declining.
