After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 782 Don't Pretend?

"Some people have already rushed over."

He Chunhua thought for a while, then shook his head: "The Kuangsha season is gone, Yuanxi might be in trouble."

This kind of rumor is fun for others to hear, but he used to be a frontier sheriff, and he thought of the safety of the border immediately.

"Isn't it?" Butler Wu was also worried, "Originally, the Yuanxi border was stable because of the Panlong Desert, the Wild Sand Season, and the Three Corpse Worms; now that the Panlong Desert can pass freely, that, that..."

"Tomorrow will worry about tomorrow." He Chunhua waved his hand, "Forget it, right now, this kind of trouble is not on the list. If there is any news about Heishui City and Panlong Desert, please report it to me as soon as possible!"

Butler Wu left.

……

He Chunhua stood where he was, lost in thought for a long time, and his thoughts turned back to He Lingchuan.

The eldest son is not dead, he has always known, but he does not know his whereabouts.

He Lingchuan came back suddenly, becoming more shrewd, more confident, and more...unfathomable.

Why on earth did he come back?
Although Rongshan's loan was a very good thing, it was facilitated by the eldest son, who acted as a special envoy to handle it. To some extent, the situation was beyond his father's control.

Whether public or private, He Chunhua didn't like this change.

He wanted to go back to the house to change clothes, but when he walked through the courtyard, he saw He Lingchuan half-sitting by the edge of the flower pond, throwing rice grains to feed the fish.

When the fish swim close, he throws the rice away;

When the fish swim far away, he throws the rice grains closer.

Koi carp, big and small, were played around by him, stirring the pond like boiling water, making it very lively.

He Chunhua subconsciously slowed down his steps, but before taking two steps, He Lingchuan, who had his back turned to him, smiled and said: "Father, the species in your pond is too single, just a few fat koi, and the colors are not bright enough. Why? Why don't you bring some good fish to make my old lady happy?"

"Oh?" He Chunhua asked casually, "What kind is good?"

"Flower gun, rolling embroidered beads, white dragon halberd, colorful fairy, and colorful shrimp." He Lingchuan casually reported a bunch of names, "They all grow very big and beautiful."

Bega's entertainment industry is very developed, and there is a huge market for flowers, birds and fish alone.Ordinary fish like koi cannot enter the rich and powerful homes of the floating island.

"That's right, I've never heard of it." He Chunhua also stood by the pond watching the fish, "Has our family raised them before?"

"No."

"Do you have kites?"

He Lingchuan laughed, still looking like a dude: "It's my first time here, how do I know?"

He Chunhua looked at him and smiled: "Then—is there any Shabutou in Suluo Kingdom?"

"The fish sold there are meant to be eaten, not raised in the pond." He Lingchuan threw a few more grains of rice, "Of course, our carp is big enough, and we can sacrifice it as a last resort. .”

He Chunhua paused and stopped by the pool.Take another step, and he will step into the water:
"This fish has done nothing wrong, why eat it?"

"Whether they will be eaten or not has nothing to do with whether we made a mistake or not, it just depends on our mood." Every time He Lingchuan said a word, he threw a grain of rice, "What kind of mistakes can this kind of ornamental plaything make?"

He Chunhua was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "Are you still my Chuan'er?"

These words came suddenly, but He Lingchuan didn't respond at all.He continued to feed, his hands were steady, and the fish were in a hurry.

He Chunhua's tone was relaxed, as if joking: "Why does it look like a different person?"

"I'm promising, isn't dad happy? Aren't you proud?" He Lingchuan turned to look at him, "I even got a loan for Yuanguo!"

This huge sum of money urgently needed by the Yuan Kingdom is also one of the capitals for his self-protection, and it is a card for him to return to the Yuan Kingdom to find his father to deal with.

Without him, there would be no money.

He is gone, and the money is gone.

"Good job." He Chunhua nodded vigorously, "Good job, otherwise I don't know how to fight the next battle."

It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, how can a general fight without soldiers?

"Since the money is coming soon, what is Dad going to do next?"

He Chunhua asked him: "Does Chuan'er want to participate?" The eldest son deliberately changed the topic, and he followed suit.

"Brother, who doesn't want to make meritorious deeds and become a marquis and minister? But—" He Lingchuan said softly, "The rebellion in the south is nothing more than that, and the Da Sima in the northwest is not easy to fight."

Peasant uprisings, discipline and combat effectiveness are generally not as good as regular troops.Of course, the central army of Yuan Kingdom is not doing well now.

"The civil war in Yuan Kingdom is a bottomless pit. Let alone 300 million taels of silver, even if 500 million or 1000 million taels are thrown in, it may not make it to the end." He Lingchuan sighed, "What do you want to do? Special envoys, but they don’t want the home country to pay back the money, which will lead to the outflow of precious resources.”

He Chunhua asked him, "Chuan'er, what suggestion do you have?"

In the past, He Chunhua would never consult the eldest son on military strategy.He Lingchuan threw the last handful of rice grains into the pond, causing the fish to crazily grab the food: "Father, it's better to fight quickly. The rebels are going all the way north, and the war is about to reach Yanzhou. Not to mention winning or losing." Well, the three nearby states are Dayuan’s granary, a place of major grain production. The Hongqian rebellion that was only quelled last year has already caused a sharp drop in grain in the south, less than half of previous years. If this year’s cultivated fields are abandoned due to the war again, autumn will be full of grain. No harvest, when the time comes..."

Big Yuan was already desperately short of food, and it would become a vicious circle.

He Chunhua nodded: "Your worries are exactly the same as those of your majesty and courtiers."

The eldest son analyzed it well.

Don't pretend anymore?

"Then what is Dad's claim?"

"I know what you said." He Chunhua sighed softly. "Our army must fight and win the battle. This is the meaning of going south. Otherwise, it will only damage the morale of the army and the people and increase the enemy's arrogance. "

He paused: "In the past when the royal court was suppressing Hong, the Hong bandits were getting stronger and stronger. There were no more than a hundred people when they started the uprising, but there were already tens of thousands of troops before the battle at Woling Pass. Isn't it because one eliminated the other?" long?"

He Lingchuan let out a cry.

Hong Xiangqian's growth was not only due to the incompetence of the officers and soldiers.He didn't point out, just asked He Chunhua: "What does father plan to do?"

No matter how much He Chunhua delays, Yuan Guojun's patience is limited; no matter how capable He Chunhua is, Yuan Jun will not be polite to him if he is not counted on.

Therefore, He Chunhua must also grasp this "degree".

"Food, grass and supplies must keep up, otherwise my soldiers will have to starve when they go to the front line. Even if the original chance of winning is seven or eight points, now there are only three or four points left." He Chunhua's tone was indisputable, "but You also know about Da Yuan's logistics, alas. Even if I have [-] shi of food to support me, the amount that can be sent to the front line is at most less than [-] to [-] shi."

"Besides, even if I take back the enemy-occupied area, if I fail to win the hearts of the people, how do I know they won't rebel?"
