Summoning the world to be one

Chapter 122 The most difficult winter in Yan Kingdom
Chapter 121: Yan Country's Hardest Winter
Cai Yan was pregnant again, Deng Sheng was very happy, feeling much better physically, after spending a while with Cai Yan in Kunning Palace, Deng Sheng left.

After leaving Kunning Palace, Deng Sheng came to Qianyang Palace. These days, he has accumulated a lot of government affairs that need to be dealt with. After resting for so many days, it is enough.

After arriving at Qianyang Palace, after Deng Sheng dealt with some government affairs, he asked Shang Shu Ling Jiang Wan to come. Deng Sheng wanted to know how the disaster situation in the two southern counties was.

Summoned by Deng Sheng, Jiang Wan hurriedly came to Qianyang Palace. Seeing Deng Sheng buried in the imperial case, he saluted and said, "My subject, Jiang Wan, pays homage to the King!"

Only then did Deng Sheng raise his head, and said with a smile, "Jiang Qing is here, don't be too polite!"

"Thank you, my lord, I wonder how your lord is doing?" Jiang Wan is very concerned about Deng Sheng's health. Today's Deng country is in a stage of rapid development, and Deng Sheng is inseparable from everything. Deng Sheng's physical condition is more important than anything else. .

Seeing that Jiang Wan cared about him so much, no matter what the reason was, Deng Sheng was very moved, and said with a smile: "I have recuperated for a few days, and my body is already recovering. I came to Jiang Qing today, mainly to ask about Jiang Wan's health. Qing, the situation of Nanjun and Jiangxia."

Jiang Wan said: "Back to Your Majesty, with the support of a large amount of food and medicine, the recovery of the two counties has been on the right track, and the garrisons of the two counties have also sent a large number of soldiers to help the people rebuild their houses, and a large number of doctors have been stationed. There has not been a large-scale plague, please rest assured, Your Majesty!"

Deng Sheng nodded in satisfaction. It has to be said that the efficiency of the three provinces and six ministries was really high, and the disaster situation was quelled so quickly.

Deng Sheng smiled and said: "The court officials are very relieved when they are doing business, but it will be winter in two months, and the two counties are ordered to help the people rebuild their houses before winter begins. In addition, let the prefects of the two counties The government must ensure that the people have food for the winter, and there must be no mistakes!"

Although the problems caused by the floods have gradually subsided, winter is about to begin. Nanjun and Jiangxia's grain production this year has already been wiped out, and the people's homes have also been flooded due to the floods, causing many families to have no surplus food. It is very difficult to survive the ensuing severe winter, which requires the government of the two counties to provide assistance.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the Ministry of Finance has ordered the Ministry of Household Affairs to urgently mobilize a large amount of grain and send it to the two counties in batches, and also send a large number of officials to assist. We must guarantee that all the grain will be delivered to the people." Jiang Wan replied, in fact, these Even if Deng Sheng didn't talk about it, Jiang Wan and the others knew how to do it.

Deng Sheng nodded.

Both Nanjun and Jiangxia counties are doing post-disaster recovery work in an orderly manner. Finally, all the affected people have been resettled before the winter in October. The officials of the two counties are relieved, and a large amount of food has been delivered to the people. It is good for the people to have food to survive the cold winter. With this food, although this winter is a bit sad, it will not be difficult.

In October of the 11th year of Qianyuan, the midwinter arrived as scheduled, and Yan Guo, who was far away in the northern Xinjiang, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Long before the winter, the Zhao army outside Jicheng began to retreat one after another, and retreated to Shanggu County to recuperate. Prepare to fight again next year.

However, the situation of the Yan army is still not optimistic. The food crisis is getting worse and worse. Now the food in Jicheng is not enough to support the Yan army to survive the cold winter. Le Lei and Guo Yi must find a way as soon as possible.

In the Jicheng barracks, in the large tent of the Chinese army, Le Lei and Guo Yu, the two highest commanders of Jicheng, gathered together.

After the Zhao army retreated, Le Lei withdrew all the troops outside the city into the city. Now Li Chengmin is covered with snow inside and outside. Because a large number of people went to Liaodong with King Yan, the whole Jicheng was very quiet and lifeless. , without a trace of anger.

Le Lei and Guo Yu sat around the stove, and Le Lei said: "Mr. Guo, now that the Zhao army has retreated, we finally have a chance to breathe, but food is still a big problem. I don't know what can Xiang Guo do?"

Guo Yu said with a bitter face: "In the past few days, I have sent people to find food that they can't take away at the homes of some ministers. After a general calculation, it is enough for us for one month, and I also sent people to help Ping, ask the king for food, but now that the road is blocked by heavy snow, even if Liaodong can support us with food, it will not be shipped until the beginning of spring, and let the soldiers save food, and they should be able to survive this winter."

Guo Yu has exhausted all the methods, but still can't solve the problem, but this is no wonder Guo Yu, Yan Guo lived in the bitter cold of Youzhou, if it hadn't taken down the four southern counties later, Yan Guo would not have been possible at all. It will become a powerful country in the world, let alone contend with Zhao Guo in the north for so long. Since the founding of the country, Yan Guo has always had a food crisis, but for a long time, there have been blood transfusions from the four southern counties, which made Yan Guo Barely hold on.

Le Lei's expression was dejected, his eyes were dim, and he could no longer see any hope in the current situation. Although Zhao Jun retreated, he did not retreat to Zhao State, but stopped in Shanggu. Obviously, after the beginning of spring, Zhao Jun will definitely make a comeback, and not only Le Lei is aware of the shortage of food for the Yan Army, but also Xin Zhao, who is Le Lei's old opponent, is also very clear about it. This is why Xin Zhao has been hoarding troops under Jicheng. He just wants to drag himself to death. If you still can't think of a way, then this winter will be the last winter in Jicheng.

In Juyang City, Shanggu County, Zhao Xin and a group of lieutenant generals were drinking and having fun. Now the situation is very good. It can be said that Zhao Guo has already secured the victory.

"General, the achievement of destroying Yan is just around the corner. Congratulations to the general." Sima Chong narrowed his eyes and said slightly drunk.

Sima Chong is very grateful to Xin Zhao. At the beginning, Sima Chong was defeated by Han Qing in Huishan. He was defeated and lost tens of thousands of Zhao Guo's elite. Attacking Yan, it was Zhao Xin who tried his best to overcome all opinions and earned himself the position of general of the South Route Army, so that he had the opportunity to take the blame and make meritorious service.

Xin Zhao waved his hands with a bit of drunkenness, and said, "General Sima was joking, the overall situation is uncertain now, it's still too early to say anything."

Although he said modest words, Xin Zhao's expression has fully expressed his joy. Although the past two years have been a bit difficult, he has finally reached this step. As long as the 15 Yan army in Jicheng is destroyed, the entire Yan The country is in the bag. This is the real destruction of the country. Although the destruction of Zhongshan is considered to be the destruction of the country, Xin Zhao does not look down on such a feat of destroying the country. After all, the Zhongshan country is too weak. A Zhongshan is probably easier than destroying an elite Yan army.

Although Zhao Xin is the number one general of the Zhao Kingdom, and he has lost countless famous generals over the years, but in terms of achievements, he may not be as good as Yue Fei. Yue Fei first destroyed 20 Han troops, and then destroyed the Jing Kingdom , intimidating Wu Guo, I heard that recently they crossed Qinchuan, raided Guanzhong, and put Zhou Shen together. In the eyes of the world, they have faintly kept pace with Han Qing, who is known as the No. attention.

Although Xin Zhao defeated Zhou Shen, he moved to another place. If he was Yue Fei, under Zhou Shen's strict defense, he made frequent tricks, and finally crossed Qinchuan and raided Chang'an. Although it was not Yue Fei who crossed Qinchuan, but To be able to make such a bold decision, and to design it in many ways, Zhou Shen didn't know why, and finally succeeded in breaking through Zhou Shen's heavy defenses. Xin Zhao asked himself that he couldn't do it. Based on this, Xin Zhao believed that Yue Fei was qualified to be his opponent , he also looks forward to being able to fight Yue Fei.

"Hehe, why should the general be humble? Now the Yan army is almost out of food. After the spring, as long as our army continues to hoard troops in Jicheng, the Yan army will starve to death. Without the main force of the 15 Yan army, the four counties in Liaodong How can these soldiers and horses stop me, Zhao Bingfeng?" Zhang Chuan also said.

Now the entire Zhao army is full of confidence, and now the balance of victory has been completely tilted towards him. If he loses like this, then his commanding generals might as well die.

"Haha, let's not talk about this, today we won't go home until we're drunk!" Xin Zhao didn't answer Zhang Chuan's words, but called everyone to continue drinking.

In the process of drinking, Xin Zhao's eyes have turned to Jicheng in the east, and he secretly made up his mind that this winter will be Le Lei's last winter.
