Chapter 39: The Pumin Rebellion
Autumn is the harvest season, Chu Jinmo ordered all men under the age of sixteen to go home to help the autumn harvest farming, so that the entire territory of the Yuexi people is a scene of harvest.
I plan to go to the fields to see how this year's harvest is, and if there is a war in the west, we must save money to buy horses and iron, but these military expenses must not affect the survival of the people. I was concerned about this matter, so I took Helian Rui and Doris brothers and sisters out of the city to check on the fields.
Walking in the golden fields, I saw many people from Yuexi working, although it was hard, but they all had smiles on their faces.
I asked an old man who was working, "Aweng, how is this year's harvest?" ”
The peasant straightened up, his dark skin marked by the marks of time like a knife. He held the sickle in his hand, and a sincere smile appeared on his face: "This year's harvest is good, there is so much grain, our family of five has a surplus to eat!" ”
A middle-aged woman next to her took over the conversation and said, "Yes, it all depends on the wise rule of King Chu!"
"Yes! It's all up to King Chu! ”
I smiled lightly, in this way, the growth of Yuexi is just around the corner!
On the way back to the city, I sat in a carriage and thought about the 21st century cultivation techniques that would help increase food production.
What is going on with Yuan Longping's rice hybrid technique? Rice is suitable for planting in the south, because there is a lot of precipitation in the south, and the thermal conditions are suitable for rice growth. Yuexi, on the other hand, is located in the north and has dry weather, which is suitable for the growth of wheat.
When we go back, we must find someone to study how to increase the yield of wheat, so that not only can the people of the western part of the country have enough to eat, but it is best to export it and exchange grain for weapons. If you have money, you can buy iron, armor, and horses. At that time, Baishui City will be the strongest clan in the western realm.
I had a majestic blueprint in my heart, and for a moment a smile slipped into the corner of my mouth, and I laughed out loud. Doris was puzzled and asked, "Master, what are you laughing at?" ”
I laughed and said, "I'm thinking that one stone of wheat can be exchanged for a few knives." ”
Doris was even more confused: "What? ”
As he was talking, suddenly Helian Rui shouted: "Who are you!" ”
Then I heard a man's voice say, "My lord has invited Miss Lan to be a guest!" Above! ”
I was shocked, today I went out of the city in casual clothes, and I only brought Helian Rui a guard, and the other party didn't know how many people there were, I was afraid that Helian Rui would suffer. Who is so bold as to dare to openly grab people on the territory of Whitewater City?
There was the sound of a fight outside, and Doris was so frightened that her face turned bloodless. I moved to the window, gently lifted the curtain and looked out, only to see four or five men in black entangled and fighting around Helian Rui. Although Helian Rui is strong in martial arts, he still has enough strength to deal with so many people, and he was defeated after not many moves.
I knew that Helian Rui would definitely sacrifice his life to protect me, but his eyes were red at this time, and he was stabbed with a sword in his body. I shouted, "Stop! ”
I lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage, Helian Rui had several knife wounds on his body, blood flowed, I frowned and looked at his wounds, and said coldly to the black-clothed people: "Who is your lord, why do you want to see me?" ”
One of the black-clothed men said, "Miss Lan will know the Tao when you go with us!" ”
I said, "Lead the way!" ”
The man in black had just taken a step forward to take me away, when suddenly an arrow flew in the air and plunged straight into his chest. He looked down in disbelief with wide eyes to see the arrow in his chest, staggered back two steps, and fell to the ground. The rest of the men in black were in a big mess and wanted to come and rob me, but Helian Rui raised his sword and blocked it in front of me.
At this time, more than a dozen riders rushed not far away, and I squinted and saw that the leader was Qinnan, who was like a woman and had a feminine face. He now held the big bow in his hand, and the arrow he had shot just now was the one he had shot.
Now the situation has changed and our side has the upper hand. The man in black saw that the situation was not good, and there were many people in Qinnan, and Helian Rui was desperate to protect it. They had no choice but to give up my captivity and quickly withdraw.
Qin Nan rushed to me first and said to one of his men, "You lead someone to chase after me!" The man took the command and led his men to chase after him.
Qin Nan dismounted and walked up to me and asked, "You're okay, are you?" ”
Qin Nan is an extremely beautiful man, with long eyebrows like willows, a body like a jade tree, and long hair draped behind a snow-white neck, which can be described as delicate. It is rare in the world for a man to grow like this.
I said, "It's okay, thanks to the general's timely arrival." ”
Qin Nan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, I walked here on a tour of the city and found that something was wrong. Who are they? ”
I shook my head: "I don't know." ”
Back in Whitewater City, Chu Jinmo was extremely shocked when he heard Qin Nan report the incident, and ordered Qin Nan to immediately track down these black-clothed people of unknown origin.
After dealing with this matter, Chu Jinmo said to me: "Something happened to the Pumin Department!" ”
I asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Chu Jinmo sighed and said, "King Zuo Xian sent someone to say that the Tuoba of the Pumin Department has rebelled, and King Zuo Xian wants to use troops against the Pumin Department to ask for my opinion." ”
I muttered: "It seems that King Zuo Xian regards you as his representative in the Yuexi region, as long as something happens to Yuexi, I will ask you for the opinion of this advisor first." ”
"I'm afraid that this time the Pumin Department won't be able to keep it, it's all my Yuexi boys, it's a pity!"
I rolled my eyes and chuckled. Chu Jin was puzzled and looked at me.
I restrained my smile and said, "I didn't annex the Ulin Department last time, so it's a good deal to give us a Pumin Department this time!" ”
Chu Jin's inky eyes looked at me warmly: "What do you have in mind?" ”
I said: "You immediately send someone to tell King Zuo Xian, let him not send troops, Tuoba Zhen will leave this matter to you, and ensure that you will do a good job." Without a single soldier of the Celestial Empire, without a single sword or shot from the Celestial Empire, you can help King Zuo Xian put down this rebellion! ”
I continued: "King Zuo Xian wants to use you to deal with the Yuexi people and raze them. But once we fight with Pumin, we will only lose both, and the Huns will gain the most of the time. This time, we were not only able to gain the trust of the Xiongnu, but also to develop our own strength. ”
Chu Jinmo took me to visit Tuoba Zhen in person at the Pumin Minbu. Tuoba Zhen didn't know what Lu Dao thought, a little Pu Min Department had a thought, and he dared to do it with the Huns, Tuoba Zhen really didn't know how many bowls of dry rice he ate himself.
When he arrived at the Pumin Minbu, Tuoba Zhen came out to greet him, "The King of Chu is here in person, and my Pumin Minbu is really brilliant!" His eyes only rolled around me, as if he didn't see my existence, and walked into the tent with Chu Jinmo.
Tuoba Zhen asked, "I don't know why the King of Chu came today?" ”
Chu Jinmo said lightly: "Tuoba Zhen, do you know that King Zuoxian of the Huns has ordered to send troops to attack Pumin?" How many heads do you have that dare to oppose the Huns? If I hadn't stopped you, you Tuoba would have died and had no place to be buried! ”
Tuoba Zhen's body was shocked, a look of surprise flashed on his handsome face, and then he said: "I don't want to fight against the Huns, it's just that you also know the current situation." The Han soldiers are strong and strong, and there are famous generals like Huo Quai, and the Huns have no time to clone now, so I wonder if it's time to go it alone? ”
When I heard the words "Huo Qu's illness", my heart ached, and I immediately became unnatural, and Chu Jin glanced at me without a trace.
He said to Tuoba Zhen: "You are so confused, no matter how bad the Xiongnu are, they have been in the desert for decades, and they don't have to do it themselves, just instigating the Yuexi people to fight the Yuexi people, the small tribe of Pumin can't stand it." ”
Tuoba Zhen took a breath of cold air: "Fortunately, the king of Chu was righteous and stopped this matter, so Pu Min didn't have to be attacked by the Huns." ”
Chu Jinmo said: "I think it's best for Baishui City and Pumin to get married, and if they join forces, the Huns won't dare to bully us." ”
Tuoba Zhen looked at me and said to Chu Jinmo: "It's not that I don't believe in King Chu, but how does King Chu show his sincerity?" It's better to stay with this woman next to me as a guest in my Pumin Department. ”
I said lightly: "King Chu acts above board, since you don't believe it, then I will stay as a hostage." ”
Chu Jinmo's body shook, and when he looked at me, I handed him an affirmative look.
Tuoba Zhenha smiled, stood up, hugged Chu Jinmo excitedly, and the two of them hugged each other. Tuoba Zhen said: "I didn't expect that our Yuexi tribe would have such righteous people, King Chu rest assured, I will never treat Miss Mulan badly!" ”
Chu Jin's ink-like eyes were bottomless, and he couldn't see what he was thinking, so he said lightly: "Tuoba Zhen, you are serious, and Mulan will stay with you." ”
Tuoba Zhen turned his head and commanded his subordinates: "Set up a banquet, I want to feast for King Chu!" ”
A moment later, the feast was held in the camp of Tuoba Jin, and because Pumin did not have to fight, the people of the tribe were happy, and let go of the drink, and I was sent to a tent to rest.
He was sitting in the tent combing his hair, when the curtain was lifted and a man walked in. I saw Tuobazhen's figure in the mirror, his handsome face seemed to be smiling, he walked behind me and said, "Mulan, it's really not easy for you to be a guest!" ”
I remembered that I met the man in black who wanted to kidnap me before, and said lightly: "You can't be kidnapped, now you can ask Chu Jinmo, I don't know how Mulan He De can get the love of the leader of Tuoba Zhen?"
Tuoba Zhen's eyes twitched, "You are really as smart as the legend says." When I saw you in the field that day, I thought about what kind of person the woman who dared to scold me in person, I must snatch it from Chu Jinmo's hand and take a good look. Now that Chu Jinmo gave you to me so easily, it can be seen that he is not very good to you! ”
I wasn't annoyed, my face was not shocked: "The banquet is set up, please!" ”
Tuoba Zhenjun stared at my face, but I was not afraid at all, he seemed to be smiling, half retracted his smile, and said seriously: "Don't worry, I will never give you to others like Chu Jinmo easily!" He stopped looking at me, opened the curtain and walked out.
I sneered in my heart, Tuoba Zhen, you don't know the importance of it, you don't know how to advance and retreat, today is your death!
