The prefect of Shuzhong went back to write a memorabilia, and the chief officials of the other ministries in Shuzhong who stayed continued to stay, telling them about the affairs in hand one by one. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The so-called autumn harvest and winter storage, originally winter, is the time when the official offices in various places have the least affairs.

However, this time the flood was sudden, and the fertile fields were flooded, the roads were damaged, and the military tents were damaged...... All kinds of affairs, endlessly.

It is the beginning of winter, and it is not easy to make up for another batch of these wintering things. This year, King Teng specially ordered that every soldier in the army should prepare a set of cotton clothes. For this batch of cotton clothes, they sent people out to buy them, and they collected them from the people, and finally prepared 200,000 sets and hid them in the treasury.

Now the cotton clothes have also been blistered, and even if they are collected from the people, it will take some effort.

When all the officials in Shuzhong retired, only the staff of the palace were left in the hall, and King Teng's already gloomy face became even more gloomy.

Everything is ready only to owe the east wind, but at this time, the Lanjiang River bursts, no wonder Li Shiji's face is not good.

The most coincidental thing is that the site of the embankment burst is in a section of the upper reaches of the Lanjiang River near Yundu. The topography of Shuzhong, high in the west and low in the east, often has the Lanjiang River bursting its embankment, but it has never gone wrong in this section.

For more than a decade, everyone has taken this place lightly.

But also because of the high terrain here, once the embankment bursts, the water will pour directly from the top down, and the water will be unstoppable.

Along the way, the fertile fields were damaged and the people were affected.

After the flood, most of the grain in the granaries of the royal palaces in Yundu was destroyed by the water. The weather in Shuzhong is already damp, and these grains are afraid that they can't be hidden. This grain is enough to feed the army for twenty or thirty days.

The most important thing is that Shuzhong relies on the Lanjiang River for water transportation, and the official road is also built along the Lanjiang River.

Now the water is soaking, the road is muddy, not to mention pulling a car, it is difficult to run a horse. There are also some roads that are not passable at all.

The timing of the embankment collapse was too strange, and he asked people to check it, but he didn't find any flaws.

However, this section of the embankment was repaired in the early years of Chenghua.

The first thing Emperor Wu did after ascending the throne was to repair the embankment along the Lanjiang River for Shuzhong. And the person in charge of repairing this section of the embankment is Wei Yingxing, the minister of Emperor Wu and the current secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

Based on this article, King Cheng believed that the embankment collapse was inseparable from Emperor Wu.

Did Lee Se-hoon think about how to defend himself when he ascended the throne?

He has been running his business for many years, but Emperor Wu didn't spend a single soldier, he relied on a Lanjiang River, and he disrupted his plan.

When King Teng thought of this, he was really unwilling.

This imperial brother of his own is really forbearing, is this to warn himself? Or do you find the clues in Shuzhong, and would rather flood for thousands of miles? They all say that Emperor Wu is a benevolent monarch, how young and endowed he is, and recuperates with the people. In fact, how can an emperor really have a heart?

If it is meant to be a warning...... King Teng secretly gritted his teeth, he had been in business for many years, how could he stop for this matter? Besides, if it was really a warning, I was afraid that even if he stopped, Emperor Wu would not let him go. Now, he was just dragged by Beiban, and he couldn't let go of his hands.

He thought about it so much that the staff present knew that the prince was in a bad mood, so they didn't dare to speak.

Mr. Xi saw that no one spoke, so he had to take the lead in persuading, "Lord Wang, although the granary is damaged, it would be a good thing if you could take the opportunity to ask for money and grain from the imperial court." ”

"This king is only afraid that the imperial court will not only not allocate money and grain, but will hit the idea on the granaries of the official governments in Shuzhong. Li Shiji knew that Mr. Xi's words were pure self-deception.

King Cheng's voice fell, and even Mr. Xi was silent. If this big water is really related to the imperial court, then the imperial court would definitely rather let the people in Shu starve to death than allocate a grain of rice.

In the midst of this silence, someone hurriedly brought in a secret letter.

Li Shiji took the secret letter and glanced at it, and now, that gloomy face could be wrung out directly.

Could something bad have happened?

Several of the staff members were uneasy, staring at the back of the secret letter but not daring to ask questions.

King Teng handed the secret letter to Mr. Xi, "Look at it. ”

Mr. Xi read the ten lines at a glance, and handed them to the people on the side, and after several staff members circulated them in turn, they didn't know what to say.

On this secret letter, it is good news - King Cheng Zhou Dingkang was seriously injured before the battle, and the prince Zhou Ming ordered someone to send him back to the capital overnight for medical treatment!

King Cheng's serious injury was already in King Teng's calculations. The generals in the north were all promoted by the Zhou family, and they were loyal to the Zhou family. He couldn't talk about the generals, so he thought of the soldiers below. The soldiers of the Northland had to recruit troops from all over the country to garrison the border, and he sent some people to the Northland one after another in the past few years.

No matter how shrewd and careful Zhou Dingkang is, he can't prevent these ordinary soldiers.

This year, the north was hit by disasters, and the imperial treasury was empty, and it was inevitable that the people's hearts would be unstable.

Such a God-given opportunity, it's a pity to miss it.

King Teng wanted to find someone to contain the imperial court's forces, and it happened that the Northern Barbarians also had the intention to let Yongding have civil strife, and the two sides hit it off and agreed to cooperate.

King Teng solved Zhou Dingkang, and the northern barbarians could take the opportunity to attack with heavy troops, as for whether they could seize the city pass in the north, it was up to them to rely on their own ability.

As a descendant of the Li family, King Teng certainly didn't really want to give up the great rivers and mountains of Yongding to the Northern Barbarians. When he was planning, he took advantage of the chaos in the north and the imperial court had no time to take care of him, so he led his troops out of Shuzhong and took Qingzhou directly. Then take Qingzhou as the place to camp the troops, and wave the army to the north.

After he ascended the throne, he took advantage of the situation to lead the Yongding army to drive the Northern Barbarians out of Yongding.

Now, Zhou Dingkang is really seriously injured. But now, at this moment, this good news is not happy at all. On the contrary, it was like being slapped in the face.

The troops of the northern land were restrained by the northern barbarians, but his army in Shuzhong was held back by a big flood and was still trapped in Shuzhong.

After the flood, the granaries were damaged and the roads were muddy. The grain and grass can still be replenished when the city is conquered, but this marching road must be repaired, and no matter how soon it is, it will have to be next spring.

Things are changing rapidly, and next year, maybe the situation will be different.

"What do you think about the raising of troops?" King Teng asked in a deep voice as he looked at a few of his staff.

"Lord Wang, why don't you wait for General Hong to check on the army and come back, and then discuss the matter of raising troops?"

The army of Shuzhong was stationed along the Lanjiang River, and Hong Tianxi trained in the mountains south of Yundu.

After the flood, Hong Tianxi heard that the barracks had also been washed away by the flood, so he took people to the camp early in the morning to check. He is the leading commander of King Teng's high hopes, and when it comes to raising troops, it is natural to listen to his advice.

There is a reason for that. Mr. Xi nodded in agreement, "Lord Wang, if you really want to raise troops, the biggest obstacle is the destruction of the road. Shuzhong has had bumper harvests one after another over the years, and the official warehouses along the way are full of grain, and the army can also take them. ”

When Shuzhong paid grain to the imperial court every year, it paid a part and left a part.

"Fortunately, the prince was wise and bought grain from the official warehouse from Jiangnan in advance and transported it to Shuzhong. ”

This is King Teng's proud work, and when this staff member mentions it, King Teng can't help but smile.
