Chapter 168: Crisis After the Snow Disaster!
As the year approaches, the snow is getting worse and worse.
Youzhou and Bingzhou are located in the north, and the winter is particularly cold every year, and God will rain heavy snowfall from time to time, invading the creatures on the earth.
"Damn thief, there's no end to it!"
Rao was based on Zhang Fei's physique, and in this winter, he also felt a slight chill entering his body, and he cursed loudly to the sky.
"It's been snowing for 10 days in a row, and I don't know when it's going to be a head." Zhao Yun said.
"Early... I knew... It's not... Don't come to Youzhou! ”
Squatting on the edge of the brazier, Xu Shu was wearing a heavy mink coat, he was wrapped tightly, looking like a bear.
Rao is like this, Xu Shu still feels cold, and his teeth are chattering when he speaks.
In the past, Zhao Yun, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and their brothers would go to the martial arts arena every day to play for a while, and they had a good discussion with each other, and the snow fell for ten days in a row, and the cold weather was freezing to the freezing point, which completely blocked them in the house.
"Jiang Ye, in the past two days, I have received reports from Zhuo County, Fanyang County, and Shanggu County from the supervision history, saying that many local people have been frozen to death, and if this snow does not stop, I am afraid that more people will suffer."
Everyone gathered in the hall, and Wang Lin spoke worriedly.
Hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai frowned slightly: "Is there any news from the people sent to Jizhou?" ”
"Not yet."
Wang Lin shook his head helplessly, as early as when he received the news that the people were freezing to death, Jiang Xiaobai made a countermeasure, while calling on all counties and counties to distribute all the cold clothes and food in stock, and at the same time sending people and horses to Jizhou to find the help of Jizhou Shepherd Fu Song.
However, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and the territory of Youzhou is vast, and it is difficult to say what the specific implementation strength will be after the counties under his rule receive Jiang Xiaobai's order.
Fortunately, the counties have a history of supervision, and even if some officials disobey the law, they do not dare to disobey the order in a big way.
On the other hand, the people sent to Jizhou are even less optimistic.
At present, the road is closed by heavy snow, and the original ten-day journey is now probably going to take half a month, and it has only been three days since the departure of this group of people.
And what is the situation in the Jizhou region is still unknown.
"It's hard." Wang Lin let out a long sigh.
"Shuaizhi, this is a natural disaster, you don't need to blame yourself, do your best, obey the destiny of heaven, and do your best." Cai Yong spoke slowly.
"Brother Handsome, you have done enough for the people of Youzhou." Cai Yan comforted.
Concerned about the more than three million people in Youzhou, Jiang Xiaobai's brows were tightly locked, and everyone saw his worries and expressed relief.
Jiang Xiaobai's frowning brows eased slightly, and he nodded.
This snow disaster lasted for more than half a month.
At the same time, the men and horses sent by Jiang Xiaobai to Jizhou also sent back the news, saying that after hearing that Youzhou Muhuang Fu Song had suffered a snowstorm in Youzhou, he immediately prepared a large amount of cold-proof and frost-proof clothing and food, and was transporting them to Youzhou in large quantities.
The officials of the counties and counties in Youzhou, in this defense against the snow disaster, there were few people who used their power for personal gain, and the local officials followed Jiang Xiaobai's instructions to distribute the materials in the warehouse to the people's homes.
After the snowstorm, one good news after another came......
"Very good!"
When Wang Lin summarized these news into the mansion, Jiang Xiaobai was quite happy, and in a few days it was Chinese New Year's Eve, and it seemed that millions of people in Youzhou would be able to have a good year.
The deserted Jixian County, after the snow disaster, is also lively again, and the people have been at home for so long, and they have run out to celebrate, with smiles on their faces, and they are shopping for New Year's goods.
However, in this time of national celebration, there are always people who can't see you well, so they have to find you a little unhappy.
Chinese New Year's Eve, two days to count.
At this juncture, something happened in Yuyang County!
Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju brothers of Yuyang County, and the Wuhuan leader Qiu Liju alliance uprising, in just a few days, they gathered more than 10,000 anti-thieves, attacked the city, captured and killed the people, and successively killed the captain of Wuhuan Ji Chou, Liu Zheng, the Taishou of Youbeiping, and the Taishou Yangzhong of Liaodong, etc., arrogant and arrogant, and there was no difference for a while.
"Yun Chang, Yide, Zilong, you go quickly to order the soldiers and horses, let's set off today and go to Yuyang, Lao Tzu has to kill this group of bastards!"
Hearing the news of the rebellion of Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju's brothers, Jiang Xiaobai was furious, and the people finally survived the snow disaster, which was the rest of their lives, but these rebels rebelled at this critical moment, which was undoubtedly worse.
"Master Jiang, the grain in our stock has been distributed to the people a few days ago, if we send troops, the matter of grain and grass may be unsustainable......" Wang Lin looked embarrassed.
Hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai's face became more and more pale.
Zhang Fei, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun were walking out, preparing to mobilize troops and horses, and when they heard Wang Lin's words, they all stopped and looked at Jiang Xiaobai.
The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first!
If there is not enough food and grass, the rash dispatch of troops will undoubtedly push the soldiers into the fire pit.
For a moment, several people in the hall fell silent.
"Lord, you have a plan, I don't know if it's feasible." Xu Shu said suddenly.
Hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai's eyes lit up: "Yuan Zhi, what are your plans, let's talk quickly." ”
"I heard that Su Li, the leader of Xianbei in the east, has always been close to the Han Dynasty and pays tribute every year, so it is better for you to repair a letter and send someone to Su Li to send him to help."
Xu Shu said: "Su Li's territory is on the bank of the Yi River, adjacent to Yuyang County, if he is willing to send troops, he will be able to solve the danger of Yuyang." ”
"Mr. Yuanzhi, what should we do if that Suli is unwilling to send troops?" Wang Lin frowned and asked.
"He's definitely going to send troops."
Xu Shu said with a smile, "Su Li pays tribute to the Great Han every year, which shows that he is unwilling to be an enemy of the Great Han, and now this opportunity that can obviously bring him closer to the Great Han, he will not give up." ”
"The only question is whether the adults are willing to repair the book and ask Su Li to send troops."
After speaking, Xu Shu looked at Jiang Xiaobai, like Su Li, a Hu person who was willing to belong to the imperial court, the Han Dynasty had always welcomed it, and the relationship between the two sides was relatively relaxed.
However, this time, the matter in Yuyang County, Youbeiping County and Liaodong County is urgent, if Jiang Xiaobai wants to ask Su Li to send troops, he must be gentle and tactful in his words, and his posture should be lowered.
And this will undoubtedly make Jiang Xiaobai suffer some grievances.
In the eyes of people in this era, if Jiang Xiaobai repaired the book at this time and asked Su Li to send troops, he would inevitably lose some face.
And things like face and fame, in this era, are sometimes more important than life.
"No, I don't agree!" Zhang Fei decisively refused.
"Big brother, as a Youzhou pastor, you have a noble status, how can you bow to the group of barbarians outside the Saiwai, I don't agree." Zhao Yun said.
"Mr. Yuanzhi, what do you think of my eldest brother!" Guan Yu looked at Xu Shu's expression unkindly.
Wang Lin: "Master Jiang, I also think that this matter is inappropriate, you are a pastor of Youzhou, and you can't ask the Hu people for help." ”
