Chapter 379 Political affairs
Heavy snow can stop the march of the army, but it cannot stop the ambitions of politicians.

In a very short period of time, Cao Cao and Zhu Yuanzhang have already thought about how to carve up Zhang Chu and manage this rich land.

Among Zhang Chuguo, Deng Zong, Zang Tian, ​​and Song Liu naturally received letters from Zhu Yuanzhang and Cao Cao.

In this letter, it is natural that there are some threats to win over.Big sticks and candied dates are always the best way to win people over.

After reading the letter, Zang Tian was so frightened that he could hardly walk.

"Old Zhao, how do you think this should be done?" After getting along for a period of time, Zang Tian had already been settled by Zhao Kuangyin, and now he couldn't help but become a little more friendly when addressing him.

Zhao Kuangyin looked at it, and suddenly said with a smile: "This is the time for us to do something!"

"Is it really the only way to be inferior to others? Is it impossible to surrender to Zhao Guo?" Zang Tian sighed in his heart.

"You can rest assured about this, we are now stationed in Pingtao City, a few hundred miles to the north, is the place where Qin State Longxiang General Guan Yu is stationed, so Zhao State may not persecute us.

Now the general just asks Zhu Yuanzhang for all kinds of military supplies. To strengthen our army, he just obeys Zhu Yuanzhang's order on the surface! "

After a pause, Zhao Kuangyin smiled and said, "Even now, the general can ask Zhu Yuanzhang for an official position, saying that he is willing to raise troops and go south to capture Deng Zong and Song Liu alive, to show his loyalty!"

The more Zang Tian heard it, the more he felt it made sense, so he directly asked Zhao Kuangyin to draft a letter to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Departing from Pingtao City and walking directly through Ma Ling, this letter can be sent to Zhao State in just a few days.

After reading this letter, Zhu Yuanzhang was very pleased.

The reason is simple, both Song Liu and Deng Zong wrote back insulting Zhu Yuanzhang.

Because Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Sheng had an alliance relationship before, but now that Chen Sheng has just made his debut, Zhu Yuanzhang is thinking about how to divide up other people's property.
Zhuge Liang was so angry that he ran away, knowing that after reading Zang Tian's letter, he felt a little happy in his heart.

I think this guy is quite sensible.

Immediately, Zhuge Liang ordered that Zhao Ping lead an army of [-] troops and head directly to Pingtao City with various military supplies.

In order to win over the former general of the Zhang Chu State, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Zhaoping to be the general of the Zhao State.

Before the heavy snow had melted, the army was mobilized directly to escort various military supplies, grain and grass to Pingtao City.

Zang Tian's joy was beyond words when he saw the military supplies slowly being supplied, and seeing old friends whom he hadn't seen for many years.

At this moment, Zang Tian completely treated Zhao Kuangyin as a god.

Because everything he said has already happened.

"It's amazing!" Zang Tian immediately introduced Zhao Kuangyin to Zhao Ping.

"You are Uncle Zhao Wang?" After Zhao Ping saw Zhao Kuangyin, he was somewhat nervous.

Because the great king I am serving now is the one who killed the nephew of the person in front of me, so he ascended to the throne.

Zhao Kuangyin smiled slightly: "Why should you be so surprised? The uncle King Zhao mentioned is just a general under the command of General Zang Tian. I just hope that the general can say a few words for the villain in front of King Zhao in the future. The villain will never Don't think about anything else, I just want to save my life in this troubled world!"

Zhao Kuangyin had already said this, and Zhao Ping was naturally not unreasonable, so he put his chest on and slapped the breast shield on the front of his armor.

"Don't worry, you are Lao Zang's brother, that is my Zhao Ping's brother, to tell you the truth, my elder brother Zhao Sao is now a celebrity in front of the king, this matter is on my shoulders!"

Zhao Kuangyin hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "In that case, I would like to thank the general!

"It's a bit out of line. We brothers need to work together this time to capture the two thieves, Deng Zong and Song Liu, and send them to the king to ask for credit!"

"This requires a lot of relying on Lao Zhao, you don't know, Lao Zhao is a talent!" Zang Tian laughed and patted Zhao Kuangyin on the shoulder.

Zhao Kuangyin hurriedly said: "Don't dare to do it, it still depends on the two generals to dispatch the whole army, the most important thing is to boost the morale of the army!"

Qian Chuan Wan wears flattery but does not wear it. Under Zhao Kuangyin's intentional compliment, the three of them quickly became a ball.

……

Let's say it took Fusu more than a month to withdraw from Daling and return to the capital.

Back in the capital, Fusu found out that Qin's food supply has become very scarce!
Even if Xu Guangqi and Meng Tian opened up wasteland, this year's rice harvest has been bumper, and food is still in short supply.

At the beginning, it was the torrential rain in Linle City, which already consumed a lot of stored food.

Because at that time, Fazheng had transferred a lot of beef and mutton from the grassland into the Great Wall, alleviating the food crisis in Daqin.

This in itself is not a problem, but the problem arises in this heavy snow!

Those Huns who stayed on the grassland, and even some Chinese people grazed on the grassland, because of this heavy snow, countless cattle and sheep died of freezing!
The heavy snow on the land of Zhao State and even Qin State has begun to melt, but the grassland is still full of wind and snow.

If this situation were in previous years, the border would hoard troops to prevent the Huns from going south to rob the Chinese people of food.

But now, the grasslands of the Xiongnu have already become the territory of Daqin, so the problem that needs to be considered is how to deliver food to these people on the grasslands to prevent them from starving to death and freezing to death.

As a result, the rice that had just been harvested this year was transported to Chaoyuan one by one.

Fusu was really afraid. If he had insisted on stationing troops in Daling City and ordered the forced transfer of grain and grass to the capital, the people of Daqin would starve to death.

Barely maintaining the consumption of food, the remaining food of this year, after deducting next year's seeds, the rest can only support Qin until next year's harvest,

The premise is that Daqin's grain harvest next year will be bumper, and there will be no disasters.

Now, Fusu suddenly understood why all the dynasties, even some unprecedentedly powerful empires, basically would not think of including the grassland outside the Great Wall into their territory.

The environment on the grassland is too unstable. Once a disaster occurs, a lot of supplies will be needed, which is enough to bring down a dynasty.

If Daqin's materials for saving the grasslands were used to general the army, it would be enough to raise Daqin's military strength to the extreme in an instant.

However, now that he has obtained the invincible cavalry regiment of Maodun, Fusu asked himself that he was not so hard-hearted to throw away the Huns on the grassland.

If you can't do it, let's do our best to help.

Above the court, Fusu ordered to mobilize the power of the whole country to rescue the people of Great Qin, whether it was inside or outside the Great Wall, the emperor expressed that he did not want to see a commoner of Great Qin starved to death.

Fazheng, Zhuge Liang and other six books, leading the officials of the Manchu Dynasty, shouted long live!
And said that all officials will be restrained, and those who commit crimes in any way will be punished without mercy!
Fusu sat on the dragon chair, his heart was very restless.

God knows whether the officials below will be able to carry out the distribution of materials here at the central government.

The emperor's eyes swept across the officials, and finally fell on Qin Hui!

If you talk about corrupt officials, Qin Hui must be one of them. If you ask Qin Hui to find out these corrupt officials, tsk tsk, wouldn't it be good?

"Qin Hui!" said the emperor.

Qin Hui's body shook, and he immediately walked out from behind Fazheng, looking flattered.

"Your Majesty, the minister is here!" Qin Hui kowtowed and knelt in front of all the officials.

For a moment, all the officials looked at Qin Hui with envy.

After this guy followed the emperor back from there, he can be called a prosperous official. Under the promotion of Fazheng, he has become the deputy of the Minister of the Household Department. It is estimated that it will not take long for Fazheng to think of the emperor. It is also possible to promote Qin Hui as a servant.

"Qin Hui, the imperial court allocated countless materials and money. I hope that these things will be implemented. Do you understand what I mean?" Fu Su squinted at Qin Hui.

Qin Hui's thoughts turned quickly, and he immediately said loudly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will guarantee that all the materials in my court will be distributed to the proper places, but..."

"It's just what! Come on and listen to me!" The young emperor leaned on the dragon chair and looked at Qin Hui with a serious face.

Qin Hui said: "Your Majesty, I would also like to make an order that the humble minister has the right to kill first and then play. It would be best... best..."

Qin Hui glanced at Chang Yuchun.

Chang Yuchun said angrily: "Look at what XX is doing? Did XX make things difficult for you!"

Qin Hui was kneeling on the ground now, but still cupped his hands at Chang Yuchun and said: "The general is joking, I just want to use the murderous spirit of the following generals to scare the young people!"

"What do you mean, you want me to partner with you? That's fine, but you need to listen to me for what you do. You're so picky and talented. If you don't kill hundreds of them, you won't listen to your majesty!"

"Scaremongering! Chang Yuchun, you are in this hall, you dare to be so barbaric, and your words are rude, be careful that I will give you a copy!" Fazheng walked out immediately, and shouted in a deep voice.

Although he was a civil servant, Chang Yuchun was so frightened by this voice that he wished he could tuck his head in his crotch.

Fusu Dao was happy to see this scene, the warriors dominate the killing, too strong, it is not good after all, this requires the restraint of civil officials.

On this point, Fusu's thinking is the same as that of Zhao Kuangyin in later generations. The warriors became greedy, and the world was in turmoil. This cannot be changed overnight. Just like the current situation, the world is in turmoil. Can change.

As for civil servants, the ruler needs to lead by example. If the atmosphere of the superiors is upright, the officials below will not dare to act recklessly.

Fusu himself felt that if the jade pieces in the palace were removed and made into playing cards, the atmosphere of the whole country would be much better.

As the saying goes, what is good at the top must be followed by the bottom, and Fusu is not worried about the atmosphere.
