Chapter five hundred and seventieth are facing difficulties
Xun Chen has been going south for more than three months, and no news has been sent back. Many officials in the court are clamoring for troops to be sent to Jiaozhou.
But attacking Jiaozhou requires a large amount of food and grass.
Several major domestic projects cannot be stopped, and supplies to help the people in Jiangnan resume production are being squeezed and squeezed again and again.
Without plundering private grain reserves and using the Changping Granary, this grain would not be available at all.
The fighting in the four counties of Wu, Danyang, Changsha, and Wuling has come to a complete halt, and the policy towards Shanyue has turned to be gentle and pacifying. The scale of bandit suppression in the four counties of Kuaiji, Yuzhang, Guiyang, and Lingling has been reduced to a thousand people.
Depending on the level, military rations must be spent wisely. If the weather gets hotter, all troops must be withdrawn.
Jiaozhou is temporarily unavailable.
At least not before the autumn harvest.
Fortunately, there have been five or six spring rains since February this year, and there are no signs of drought or floods anywhere. It is a rare good year.
"Patience, the world is determined, everything is waiting for improvement, all ministers must remain patient." Liu Xiang set the tone for this year at the court meeting, focusing on resuming production and developing people's livelihood.
Liu Yu was greatly relieved, and the Han Dynasty was revived. My choice in the past was indeed a wise one.
Xun Yu is smiling and full of ambition. The wise king is on the throne and the virtuous ministers are in charge. The prosperous age will be restored in our hands, and the great Han Dynasty will still dominate the world.
All the officials clasped their hands in salute and praised in unison.
If there weren't hundreds of people in Tingwei's prison waiting for judgment, they would be more sincere.
The division of the Han Dynasty has basically come to an end. No one thinks that Jiaozhou and Nanzhong can make any waves. The general trend is that reunification will be a matter of time.
A nation of tens of millions of people dusted off the fall and stood up again. The surrounding small countries will once again live a life of dependence on others.
They have to get used to being patient.
Leader has long been accustomed to patience. His tribe was originally on the border of Youzhou, and plundering Han people was a big profit for them. Various Han objects were his favorite treasures.
Unfortunately, not long after the good days, Liu Xiang appeared in Youzhou. His Yan Rou was too ruthless and he couldn't beat him. Twenty thousand men lost their lives.
Later, when the king died in battle and the royal court was massacred, it was obvious that Xianbei could not defeat the Han people, so he no longer dared to graze near the Han territory and could only lead his people back to Mobei.
Although he inherited the throne of Great Xianbei.
But He Lian, the predecessor of the Xianbei King and his uncle, had completely defeated the royal court. He was the only one left in the lineage of King Tanshihuai who could still maintain his face, but his clansmen were sparse and his combat power was weak.
Who will listen to him?
I feel so angry.
In the past, the weak Murong tribe, Yuwen tribe, Duan tribe, and Tuoba tribe could only crawl at his feet like dogs.
But not anymore.
"Xianbei warriors advocate force. We, the descendants of King Tanshihuai, don't have enough strength, so we have to bow our heads. The eagle can fly high in the sky because he is strong, but when he gets old and weak,
When you run out of energy, you have to fold your wings, hide, and sharpen your claws again."
He whipped his brother and persuaded him earnestly: "Bu Dugen, last year the white disaster froze to death many cattle and sheep, and starved to death many people. You want to make up for the losses. There is nothing wrong, but you should not be provoked.
, came up with the idea of plundering the Han people.
Do they really admire you? They want to use you as cannon fodder to test the strength of the Han people."
He sighed sadly: "Our people cannot afford another big defeat. Think about it carefully. Although I am the king of Xianbei in name only, how many people listen to my words? My words are all gone."
If no one listens, why would they listen to your orders?"
Bu Dugen had been whipped several times, but he was strong and didn't care. He could listen to his brother's words, and he also knew the situation of the tribe. But just because he knew it, he became even more anxious.
If you don't find a way out, you can only continue to weaken until you are defeated by others and become a slave of other tribes.
"How long are we going to endure it?"
"Be patient enough to be like King Tanshihuai and unify all the tribes of Xianbei
clan."
"How to unify?"
"I have no idea."
Kuitou and his younger brother Bu Dugen were very confused, and another younger brother Yu Fuhan sitting next to them was also very confused.
Just as confused as the three brothers was Gan Ning.
He is currently lying in the narrow cabin, watching his good brother Su Fei prepare medicine for him.
Brothers are real brothers. He was injured and comatose for more than a month. I don’t know how Su Fei saved him on the chaotic battlefield. Later, the injury recurred. It was also a good brother who sought medical advice and forcefully rescued him.
Life was saved.
But, brother, you shouldn't have taken me southward these past few months. The imperial court is in the north, and if you go south, wouldn't we become deserters?
But can he blame Su Fei?
cant!
How can I, Gan Ning, be an ungrateful person? Not to mention dragging him into desertion, even if I cut off his head, if I complain even one word, I am not a human being!
"Brother Su, I have something to ask of you."
Su Fei turned around and smiled: "Why is Xingba so coy? This is not your temperament. We are close friends, so is there anything we can't say openly?"
"My little brother wants to become opposite-sex brothers with Brother Su, and we will share weal and woe in the future." Gan Ning struggled to sit up, his head was sweating from the pain, and he was ready to hide his name and wander around the world.
His arrow wounds recurred, and the infected rotten flesh had to be removed many times, and a hole the size of a fist was gouged out of his chest. The injury was extremely serious, and he could not move properly for several months, and the pain was severe when he moved.
Seeing him getting up, Su Fei hurriedly came over to help him sit upright. Hearing that he wanted to sworn sworn brothers with her, he sighed: "Xingba has not asked about the war in the court these past few months. I know he doesn't want to blame me, and I also know
According to your temperament, you would rather die than become a deserter."
Gan Ning reached out and held Su Fei's arm: "Brother Su, there is no need to say anything more. I have no intention of blaming my elder brother."
Su Fei interrupted him and said seriously: "Xingba, listen to me, you are kind to me, I can't bear to see you die, so I took you south, not to be a deserter, I have my own plan.
You are the commander of the navy, and if your entire army is wiped out, you cannot escape the blame. If the imperial navy is defeated again, you may have a chance of survival, but if the imperial court wins later, you will definitely die.
So, I decided to take you south to seek the possibility of making meritorious service. Wu Ju, the governor of Cangwu, was my colleague in the past, and we still have some friendship. Based on this, I can get close to him. It would be best if I can persuade him to surrender.
If he had the intention of stubbornly resisting the imperial court, we killed him with our own hands, merged with his tribe, captured Cangwu County, and presented it to His Majesty.
In this way, the death penalty can be avoided, wouldn't it be good for us brothers to continue to serve in the court? Going back to accept the crime honestly will definitely lead to death.
In the past, you were seriously injured and felt groggy all day long. I was afraid that telling you would hurt your mind. Today, you are in good spirits. It can be seen that your injury is greatly healed. You just made a good plan with me and achieved this great achievement."
Gan Ning was stunned. Su Fei's image was infinitely higher in his heart.
