Chapter 374: Stop the fight
Zhang Xiaowu suddenly felt moved in his heart, but at the same time, he was also very helpless, he had become the master of Qingtian, but it can be seen that he can be recognized by the people, and he will not live up to his life and kill the enemy in Saibei. But this kind of dispute between neighbors and townships is the most difficult to judge the case, the public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother says that the mother is reasonable, Zhang Xiaowu looked at Ruan Qingwen, and Ruan Qingwen suggested in a low voice that it is better for the two to irrigate each day, single-day Ba Town, and double-day Liujiabao.
Zhang Xiaowu summoned Li Zheng and told the two of them Ruan Qingwen's suggestion, but the two Li Zheng opposed it at the same time. Zhang Xiaowu said in his heart that you are MMP, and you just said that there is no other thing, why is this particularly opposed, do you two Lao Deng still have a face?
Ba Zhenli said: "We have 18,000 acres of land in Ba Town, and they only have 12,000 acres, how can this be fair? If you want me to say, it should be calculated according to the area of the field, so how about we rotate irrigation for three days and two days? ”
Liujiabao Li Zheng said: "Although we only have 12,000 acres of land in Liujiabao, we have many paddy fields, and they do not have paddy fields. In my opinion, it is only fair that we have two days and they have one day. ”
"If you have many paddy fields, do you want more water? There are still a lot of people in Bazhen. ”
"The people in Bazhen are all tenants, and we in Liujiabao are all farmers, can it be the same?"
"What? Your people in Liujiabao are people, but our people in Bazhen are not people? ”
"What do you mean?"
"What do you mean?"
"You want to fight, huh?"
"Hit whoever is afraid of whom!"
"Come on!"
"Come on!"
The two of them are not young, but when it comes to the issue of water, they shout loudly one by one, and no one will let anyone. Seeing that Li Zheng was arguing, the villagers raised their sticks one after another, ready to fight again.
Zhang Xiaowu heard that after all, a river cannot feed two towns at the same time, if one town wants to survive, the other town must starve to death, if a river is divided between two towns, then people in both towns may starve to death. But even if some people starved to death, they were much stronger than Shangyi County, where almost the whole county starved to death.
"Shut up!"
Zhang Xiaowu roared, shocking the four seats, and the people of the two towns retreated one after another, still glaring at each other.
"Does the general have a decision?" The two of them asked busily.
Zhang Xiaowu didn't have any ideas, but he thought of the misery of Shangyi County, what was the difference between Bazhen and Liujiabao, so he rolled his eyes and shouted: "Everyone, put away your weapons and retreat to both sides of the official road." Listen to me! Although the villagers fought bravely, they were just people after all, and they didn't dare to disobey the order, so they temporarily put away their weapons and retreated a few steps, and some of the injured ones quickly bandaged and treated, and continued to listen to the orders of the ghost general.
Zhang Xiaowu sat on his war horse, looked around, and shouted: "Now tens of thousands of people have starved to death in the neighboring counties, but your two towns are fighting because of the water, you know that if you grab the water, everyone else will starve to death." Can't you take a step back and open the sky? Everyone wants to live, but if they live, they have to put each other to death? You say, if you release water for a day in every town, will you all starve to death? ”
The two of them glanced at each other and said, "Although they won't starve to death, they won't have enough to eat." ”
"That's it, you're at least alive!" Zhang Xiaowu continued, "In this year's drought, as long as you can live, it is more important than anything else, as long as you can live, don't care whether you eat well or not." I passed through Shangyi County, and heard that they were all starving to death, and when the postmaster of the post station saw us, he had eaten his last meal three days before, and it was still bark. Now you are fighting fiercely, very well, very good, each of you has four or five hundred deaths, and no one is short of food, will not everyone be happy? ”
The two people looked at each other, speculating in their hearts that in fact, they didn't want to fight, everyone was just trying to survive. They had seen the victims of the disaster in Shangyi County and other places, and knew that they would not survive, and even formed a township protection team to drive the victims away in order to prevent the victims from being taken captive. Naturally, they don't want to be part of the disaster, let alone be displaced, because for the Han people, having no land and no home is equivalent to losing their lives.
"So, if you let water for a day, you can't keep everyone alive, but you can keep most of them alive." Zhang Xiaowu said, "In addition, there is a shortage of water this year, so you should not plant paddy fields, because there will be more and more water shortage in the future, and if you can't wait for autumn to plant paddy fields, you will all starve to death." Listen to me, weigh some food that is precocious and fast-maturing to resist hunger, don't think about being full this year, your only purpose is to live. ”
"General, can Sebei survive?" A villager asked.
Zhang Xiaowu thought for a while and said: "Saibei, this year is also dry, but the people can still live, if you have a surplus population, this year's land can't support them, you can go to Saibei to beg for a living." Ruan Qingwen hurriedly pulled the placket of his shirt and told him to speak carefully, in case he really provoked tens of thousands of people to run to Saibei, then Saibei would not be able to hold it. Zhang Xiaowu didn't care, now in Wuhuan cultivation, the two sides only stopped fighting, not the final battle, and after Wuhuan cultivation is completed, they will definitely go south to make trouble. Once the war in northern Cyprus resumes, what the northern part of Cyprus lacks most is the source of soldiers, and the soldiers come from the people, and if the people are lacking, how can they resist the enemy of tigers and wolves.
After leaving the two towns, Ruan Qingwen asked the reason, Zhang Xiaowu expressed his worries, Ruan Qingwen pondered for a long time, and said: "The general thinks Wuhuan still has the ability to go south?" ”
"Wuhuan's strength is still there, and he failed to go south in winter last time, but because of the outbreak of the plague, Wuhuan lost only thousands of men and horses before and after." Zhang Xiaowu frowned and said, "Wuhuan has more than 100,000 troops going south, and the army is withdrawn in a hurry after a few thousands, if it weren't for the severity of the plague, how could Mucheng be let go so easily." Wuhuan must go south, and Mucheng must be conquered, so we must plan early. Instead of passively waiting, it is better to take the initiative, and when I meet the Holy Lord this time, I will definitely ask for a battle to seize the Crowgold Granary. ”
Ruan Qingwen shook his head, pointed to the yellow fields and dry land, and said, "Look at the current domestic situation, how can you continue to fight?" Emperor Dade cultivated with the people, not a warlike emperor, and now the people's livelihood is withering, and the lives of the people are miserable, His Majesty will not allow the expedition of the division. ”
Zhang Xiaowu said with a smile: "But what if I am willing to pay out of my own pocket and don't need the court to pay a tael of silver and a soldier?" ”
Ruan Qingwen exclaimed: "Mucheng is only 10,000 ghost guards, can you take 10,000 ghost guards to subdue the Crow Gold Granary?" ”
"If you don't try, how do you know?" Zhang Xiaowu laughed, his body relaxed backwards, and twisted his buttocks, this horse will be uncomfortable for too long, especially the balls will be hot, and it will be even more uncomfortable.
His long, bright eyes looked far away at the end of the horizon, which was the city of Daishu, the capital of Daishu. The corners of his mouth curled up with a sneer, and often after his smile, it was bound to bring death.
Ruan Qingwen didn't know how to advise, he knew that once Zhang Xiaowu made up his mind, he would have made plans a long time ago, so he could only sigh and say: "Xing, the people are suffering, dying, the people are suffering." Don't forget your own words, General. ”
