Not far from the Grand Governor's Office, there is a special mansion for foreign envoys, who are visiting by court officials or other local officials. The heads of the four tribes all live here, living next to each other.
Tonight, the four of them gathered together again, and they all sat quietly in the courtyard of the vast yard, silent.
"Oh... are you willing?" After a while, a sigh of silence came out. Under the hazy lights and the silver snow, the face was dull and silenced, and even more lonely. Although I knew that the big thing was gone,
But I always feel unwilling.
The leader of the Daji tribe also sighed and remained silent. Obviously, he was also unwilling to accept it.
After looking at the expressions of the two, the Hebian tribe leader, Yu Chuo, said lightly: "Dajize, if the Xiaoguo army attacked Shunzhou Prefecture in the past, can your troops resist?"
"I can't resist it, otherwise I wouldn't have surrendered to Xiaoguo Army that day." Da Jize said in a muffled voice. Now that I think about it, I regretted it. If I hadn't heard the idea of Fenwen's army, they wouldn't have taken advantage of the situation to rob.
, attacked Shunzhou Prefecture, and ended up trapping myself in the current situation.
"When the battle between the north and the south was not the power of the Xiaoguo Army that night, what would you say that the three of us would be?" asked Su Chuo with a smile.
"This... I die and the clan is destroyed!" Da Jize said with a change of expression. Now, he understood what Jue Chuo meant.
"Yes, we are dead and the clan is destroyed. We are still the patriarchs of the clan. We can still live well and accumulate a large number of family businesses for future generations. Can't this satisfy you? On the grassland, for more than thousands of years
Come on, I don’t know how many races are gone. Brothers, why bother to destroy your family for the sake of the impossible existence? Anyway, for me, you don’t have to worry about the safety and life issues of nearly 100,000 people, and you don’t have to worry about the robbery of the tribes.
, I live a comfortable life like this.”
Jae Chuo then looked at Shi Kuo and said, "The five northern coalition forces should have been wiped out. It may be because there were too many prisoners and the three minions and the Xiaoguo army could not be properly placed, so Brother Shi Kuo escaped. Otherwise,
If it is…”
Shi Kuo was sweating profusely. Yes, now even the name is left by someone else. What qualifications are there to ask for? If you say that, there is another meaning. Without you, the Fu tribe is still the Fu tribe, and you are willing to take over.
There are many people in your seat.
Shi Kuo clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Brother Chengchuo, for waking me up. Brother Chengchuo can see clearly. I'll also go to build a caravan. Let's compare and see who makes more money?"
Jue Chuo smiled and said, "It's not that I can see clearly, but that I, Hebian and Duhuo tribe, are the weakest and are bullied. We have long wanted to throw out the burden in our hands. So, when I am outside the matter, I'm just watching it.
I know it. Brother Shikuo wants to compete with me, haha, if I want to say that I can't compare to you in war, do you have to bow to me if you do business."
Seeing that Da Jize was still a little depressed, Su Chuo smiled and said, "Brother, are you still struggling? There is a saying among the Han people that those who know the times are heroes. Why do you have to expect those impossible things? No matter who he is, just live well.
, live a stable life, and you should be satisfied.”
Da Jize smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it... Brother, I'll go to the business, it is said that the Han merchants sold our goods to the Central Plains, which was several times, or even dozens of times. No matter what, we also want it.
Let's share it."
"Okay... let's compare to see whose caravan is developing faster!"
"Just compete, who is afraid of whom!"
A madness and a drunkenness throw away all the worries in my heart.

Whether the words of the four people in the house were true or false, they were all heard in Zhao Xun's ears. When Zhao Xun heard this, he chuckled and said, "Only those who know themselves can live a long life. As long as you do your work well, you will be prosperous and prosperous all your life, if you are in your heart.
If there are any bad things, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
Then he sighed, "But, some people ignore our kindness. Those who know the current affairs are heroes. Since you don't know the current affairs, don't blame me for being cruel."
News came from Zhao Hai that the Qingzhou naval general did have a reason to be arrogant to the Xiaoguo army. During his march, he was surrounded by hundreds of personal guards. More importantly, except for Laizhou County, the rest of the land,
But Laizhou County is the land base camp of the Qingzhou Navy. It is surrounded by 50,000 naval soldiers, and there are no less than 30,000 people stationed in the camp. The foreign population, except for a few, is very large-scale outsiders.
It is difficult to get into this place. More importantly, this navy general seems to be operating well in Laizhou County, and even the people are facing him, making it difficult for Shadow Department to take action.
In order not to alert the enemy, Zhao Hai did not approve the forced action of the Qingzhou branch, but reported the information to Zhao Xun, and Zhao Xun decided.
Zhao Xun once again asked the Government Affairs Office to issue official documents to question him, but was once again ridiculed by the navy general. Zhao Xun was determined to deal with him. For this reason, Shenji Camp sent a team to cooperate with the Shadow Department to enter the East.
Lai Mansion is preparing to kill the navy general.
In addition, what made Zhao Xun secretly frown was that the Pingyuan Prefecture, where Qingzhou and northern Hebei were all in conflict with other prefectures and counties. In other words, the government troops of the two prefectures are all other
The various prefectures were drawn. Not only that, these prefecture troops seemed to be strictly guarding against the Xiaoguo Army in northern Hebei.
"It seems that our actions are too big, and Qingzhou is not easy to share. We directly dismembered the army we bought, and it seems that someone has given the Qingzhou Governor." After hearing the news, Li Huaiyuan said in a deep voice
Speaking of which, as the former governor of Youzhou, he is naturally very familiar with the governor of Qingzhou. Most of the governors of the mainland are not brave generals, famous generals, and at most powerful generals, and the rest are some people who have been stationed.
"It's true that the action is a bit big, but it doesn't have any impact on me. After all, we don't mean to attack Qingzhou yet. If we really want to attack Qingzhou, we will attack the north and the south, join forces with the Xuzhou army, and swallow them up." Situ Liang was calm and calm.
Said.
"However, the Qingzhou Governor seems to be incompatible with the navy general. Although the two government troops were replacing them to guard against us, they also secretly told us indirectly that the other mastermind at this time was the Qingzhou Navy, or even,
We acted without stopping them." Pei Yi said with a strange expression. They were both troops in the same state, but they were actually hostile to each other?
Li Huaiyuan shook his head and said, "They didn't really want us to kill the navy, but to force the Qingzhou navy to make him completely fall to Murong Cheng's side. In the past, this navy was independent and listened to the tune or not.
Xuan and Murong Cheng were unable to conquer them. Even the maritime merchants from Yangzhou and Jiangzhou had to pay tolls to Qingzhou naval troops from the north, which made Murong Cheng extremely dissatisfied."
"If we can press into Donglai Prefecture and force the Qingzhou Navy to land camp, then the Qingzhou Navy's camp can only be chosen between Yangzhou, Jiangzhou or Xuzhou. Of course, he can also be a pirate. But the pirate can
It’s not easy to be a good person. Without the great title of the court, many things cannot be supplemented, and the soldiers are unwilling to abandon their families and children. Therefore, the navy general only needs to turn to Murong Cheng and apologize to his lord.
In this way, we will face the navy and Murong Cheng will take advantage of it. But our maritime merchants will definitely suffer a serious blow." Li Huaiyuan said deeply.
"Yes, because we are worried about the sea passage, the Qingzhou naval army must be annexed by us. On this road, the Shadow Division and the Shenji Camp were dispatched to kill several generals who had prejudice against us. At the same time, our navy was dispatched,
The Qingzhou Navy was forced to land." Zhao Xun said, looking at the map.
"Situ Liang, has the Youzhou Navy arrived in Bohai Mansion now?"
"Go back to the lord, you have arrived and are waiting for military orders there!"
"Then it will be on December 10th, and you will go home with victory to celebrate the New Year." Zhao Xun slapped the place in eastern Qingzhou on the map with a palm, and said coldly.
…………
It is snowing from time to time, and the ground is covered with white, and the entire earth is covered with white.
Zhao Xun approved a batch of materials to transport north, including a large amount of coal. If you want to say that the grassland people are not bad, they have no solid housing and a continuous heavy snowfall, they will suffer.
Snow disasters on the grassland, usually called white disasters, are extremely harmful. They are mainly caused by snow covering the pastures and exceeding a certain depth. Some snow is not deep, but the density is high, or the snow surface is covered with ice to form ice shells.
Livestock find it difficult to peel off the snow layer and eat grass, causing hunger. Sometimes the ice shells can easily cut the hoofs and wrists of sheep and horses, causing frostbite. The livestock is thin and often causes miscarriage of female animals, and the survival rate of young animals is low, old, weak, and young animals.
Fear and cold are intertwined, and deaths are increasing. At the same time, snow also hinders traffic and damages sheds and houses.
At the same time, due to the cold weather and insufficient food and grass, people will be injured and frozen to death.
Whether out of soft-heartedness or out of buying the hearts of the people, Zhao Xun really doesn't want these newly captured people to freeze to death on the grassland. After all, they are their own people and have surrendered. As long as there is no rebellion, Zhao
There was no intention of killing them for no reason. Killing enemies on the battlefield and killing surrendered people was different at that time.
After the war, Zhao Xun asked the prisoners to build homes in various places in an organized manner and store grain and grass, while allowing Shunzhou Prefecture to transport the stored food northward. Of course, a lot of livestock was transported back. In addition, a lot of them were transported.
coal.
"Is it because of having a son and daughter that I have become soft-hearted?" Zhao Xun shook his head and thought.
Because there is nothing to deal with on heavy snow days, Zhao Xun rarely enjoys the snow in the back house and his wife and concubines in the garden. Well, this is actually a very painful idea. In such a cold day, go
Appreciating the snow? Zhao Xun thought he was not the kind of scholar who played with elegance. However, his wives and concubines were playing in the garden and enjoying the snow, and Zhao Xun could only touch his red nose, which was already in the small pavilion.
Since then, Zhao Han, a five-month-old daughter, has become accustomed to her father's arms, she no longer cried loudly when she was taken over by Zhao Xun as she did at the beginning.
Zhao Xun looked at the tightly wrapped child and really didn't want him to come out too. However, there were several layers of windproof veils around the pavilion, so that the cold wind would not blow in. The pavilion was even more burning with charcoal fires.
, not feeling cold at all, very comfortable.
"Hanyue, what's wrong? Why do you always rub it around?" Zhao Xun looked at the woman who was rubbing around in his arms, and his head was as big as a fight.
"Grandmaster, the lady is afraid she wants to... have to feed her breasts, so..." A crisp voice came from her ears.
"You are...you are...that Asli?" After a while, Zhao Xun came up with the name of the pretty woman in front of him from his mind.
"Yes, Grand Governor! Grand Governor please have tea!" Asli lowered the teacup respectfully with a red face.
"Puff..." Zhao Xun took a sip without even looking at it, and immediately vomited it out.
"Did you add milk to the tea?" Zhao Xun asked sideways, looking at the strange tea.
Asli didn't know why Zhao Xun vomited the milk tea she specially cooked, and said with a pale face: "Yes! I only added milk to it, and did not add anything else."
"It's okay, I'm just not used to adding things to tea. Han people and tea are different from you northern Hu people. In the future, don't add things to it." Zhao Xun continued to look at Asli with a nervous look on his face.
"I know! I keep it in my heart."
"By the way, your sisters are still adapting to living in the mansion?"
"For the blessing of the Grand Commander, everything is fine." Asli responded quickly.
"Call Mrs. Su back and feed the child!"
"Milk tea? Such a strange way to drink...the earliest version of milk tea?" Zhao Xun shook his head and said to himself.
