The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 904
After the alliance of the Western Manchu tribes, their military deployment has been greatly adjusted.

The one who feels the most about this is the Huns who directly confronted it.

Of course, this is just an adjustment, but the result of the adjustment is that the Ximan launched a more fierce offensive against the Xiongnu.

why?Just because the zombies in Tianshan County are still there, the Ximan tribes must first lure the zombies away before they can attack Tianshan County.

Although the work of luring away zombies is complicated, it definitely does not require hundreds of thousands of troops.

Thinking that it would be too wasteful for the rest of the army to be idle, the higher-ups of the Ximan simply decided to take advantage of these few months to deal with the Xiongnu so that they can go south with peace of mind in the future.

Ximan's decision made Yu Shan complain endlessly, leaving too little time for the Xiongnu to rest.

Beginning in late August, Ximan attacked the Xiongnu like crazy, forcing them to retreat more than 300 miles.

In order to avoid misjudgment, Yushan could only send King Dingling to Tianyuguan to express his last resort to the Jin court.

Compared with the Western Man's attack, Yu Shan was more worried about his own retreat, which would cause the Jin court to run out of food again, and then they would really collapse.

In fact, Jin Yiwei paid close attention to the Northwest intelligence and shared it with the Northwest Governor's Office.

Whether the Xiongnu retreated actively or passively, the Northwest Governor's Office had its own judgment, and reported its opinions to the imperial court.

So when Yu Lixi came, Luo Lun personally met him.

"You have your own difficulties in this matter, we all know it, you don't have to worry too much about the food for the time being!"

Here, Lauren said very conservatively, as "temporarily" there is no need to worry, which indicates that there may be changes in the future.

Yu Lixi said solemnly: "We Huns must be the ones who believe in promises the most, and we will definitely do our best to resist the Western Man!"

Yu Lixi gave the guarantee on behalf of the Huns, but he actually put the Huns in a weak position, which he didn't even notice.

Lauren didn't say much about this, but asked, "Did you find the translator I asked you to find?"

Dialogue with the Ximan requires a translation. As far as the current way is concerned, it can only be obtained from the Huns.

This matter has been arranged for one month, and the Huns transported grain to the grassland every day, but there is no statement about this matter.

"Lord Luo, we attach great importance to this matter. We have found an interpreter and are rushing to Tianyuguan now!"

Hearing this, Lauren then asked, "How long will it be?"

"Probably... about ten days!"

"Ten days? How many days?"

"Ten days at most!" Yu Lixi promised.

The person has indeed been found, but the Xiongnu still needs to be sure that the person found has a good language ability, so they have not been sent over.

Now that Luo Lun is urging, Yu Lixi can only make a decision and send the group of people he found.

Still the same sentence, the Xiongnu could not afford to offend the Jin court, so they could only serve them cautiously.

"How many people did you find?" Lauren asked again.

"There are more than 20 people!"

"How many languages ​​do you know?"

"Know the language of the three tribes of Western Man, and the other small tribes can understand some, what they say..."

Yu Lixi introduced in detail that King Dingling of the Huns is like a subordinate in front of Luo Lun.

The two chatted for a long time, and through the perspective of the Huns, Lauren also learned about the Western Man's offensive.

After Yu Lixi withdrew, Zhang Ziming found Luo Lun who was sitting alone.

The war is about to start, Zhang Ziming is no longer stationed in Tianyuguan, and was recalled by Luo Lun to serve in the Governor's Office.

"My lord, I checked just now, and all the newly arrived grains have been put into storage, and the accounts are correct!"

The battle is imminent, food and grass are of great importance, Zhang Ziming is in charge of this matter.

"sit!"

Zhang Ziming was also polite, and took advantage of the opportunity to sit beside Lauren.

"Officials in the northwest are all ministers of the emperor's hidden residence. Generally speaking, they are reliable, but they are also unavoidably harmful..."

"Food and grass are very important, you must not take it lightly!"

Hearing Luo Lun's seriousness, Zhang Ziming's mentality changed a little, but he didn't feel safe.

"Understandable!"

Nodding his head, Luo Lun continued: "Next, the imperial court will send more grain to the northwest, and you have to clear out the warehouses in various places again, so that it will be convenient for the grain to be put into storage at that time!"

"My lord, how much food does the imperial court want to bring over?" Zhang Ziming asked curiously.

"The next batch, I'm afraid there will be several million stones!"

Hearing this number, Zhang Ziming was taken aback because it was too huge.

Zhang Ziming said in a deep voice: "A few million stones... It seems that the imperial court has made preparations that the two counties in the northwest will not produce grain next year!"

The two counties in the northwest are on the front line, and the next big battle will affect farming, so it is really necessary to plan ahead.

"You're right..."

"To ensure food safety, it's best to store them in Longyou. You must arrange this matter properly!"

Nodding his head, Zhang Ziming couldn't help asking: "My lord, the imperial court is looking for an interpreter who understands Western barbarian languages. It seems that they don't want to cause a big war. Why are they..."

"Prepare for a rainy day, be prepared!" Lauren said lightly.

"Is it really unavoidable?" Zhang Ziming was sad.

It's not that he is afraid of war, it's just that war will kill many people and may ruin the good situation in the Northwest, so he doesn't want to see war.

"It's not that we want to fight, it's that they took the initiative to provoke!"

After a few moments of silence, Zhang Ziming said again: "I only hope that our army can subdue them in one fell swoop with a thunderbolt, and then they will be willing to make peace with us!"

Luo Lun smiled and said: "The emperor also meant the same thing, so while preparing the army for war, he was also looking for an interpreter to prepare for the negotiation!"

But now Zhang Ziming couldn't laugh, he only heard him say: "We have 70 or [-] troops that can be used in the Western Barbarians. I am heading towards Tianshan County, and there are only [-] imperial cavalry and [-] guards. Can we really withstand it? "

Although he is very confident in the fighting power of the Forbidden Army, the disparity between the strength of the two sides is too great, and it is normal for Zhang Ziming to be worried.

Luo Lun is very clear about the comparison of troops, after all, he is the governor of the Northwest.

"The enemy has a lot of troops, but they don't belong to each other, not to mention that there are nearly 20 Huns to restrain them, so the disparity in strength is not too big!" He could only explain Zhang Ziming in this way.

"My lord, can the Huns be trusted?" Zhang Ziming asked back.

Whether the Huns will turn against the water is indeed a question worth pondering, so Luo Lun dared not transfer the tens of thousands of guards in the direction of Tianyu Pass to Tianshan County.

"My lord, why don't you play to the emperor, and ask the emperor to send troops from various places!" Zhang Ziming said solemnly.

Lauren sighed, and said, "The imperial court not only has external troubles, but also internal troubles!"

"Your Excellency, are you talking about those gentry clans? They have exiled so many people in previous major cases, do they still dare to disagree?"

"People make money and birds die for food, who can say for sure? For the safety of the world, the emperor can't gamble!" Luo Lun sighed.

In this time of great controversy, once domestic turmoil occurs, it may lead to the collapse of the imperial court. At that time, it is really powerless to face foreigners.

Sighing, Luo Lun said: "The emperor's holy candle illuminates, and all affairs will be decided by himself. As a subject... try your best to share your worries!"

That's right, the emperor couldn't think of things that he could think of... Zhang Ziming also sighed.

Luo Lun went on to say: "If you give the emperor another three or two years, when everything in the country settles down, you can concentrate the power of the whole country to fight against the barbarians, then the barbarians will not be able to show their viciousness!"

But Zhang Ziming shook his head and said: "At least I have an emperor in the Great Jin Dynasty. If the false emperor is in power and encounters such a powerful enemy who is waiting for him to change, billions of people will be lost forever!"

Lauren couldn't help being stunned, and then took it for granted.
