Chapter 38: Heavy Snow
After the four of them sat down, Tian Yu carefully inquired about the situation on the grassland of Kirbyneng, and Kirby could take the opportunity to pour bitter water.
It turned out that since Zhang Chun and Qiu Liju retreated to the grassland, because they had lost a lot of troops and livestock, they desperately squeezed other tribes under the idea of making up for the losses outside the wall. Although they couldn't defeat the Han army, they had no problem fighting those small tribes on the grassland.
Zhang Chun is better, he just wants to grab some cattle and sheep for the winter. They robbed everything of the population, the tents, even the cooking pot, and they robbed it all, leaving only the old and weak shivering in the cold wind.
Kirby can say angrily: "They took everything away, and that is to let the rest of the people die!" ”
When he spoke Chinese, he stuttered a little and would turn things upside down, so except for short sentences, he always spoke in Xianbei dialect, and then Yan Rou relayed them.
Tian Yu didn't show any signs of empathy, he said lightly: "So that's the case." Then the leader of Kirbineng will stay on the other side of the river first, and I will play to the court. ”
Kirby said, "I wonder if the adults can set aside a pasture for my people to graze?" ”
Tian Yu thought for a while, then looked at Chen Cheng and asked, "What does Wen Zheng think?" ”
Chen Cheng smiled and said, "The county order can be the master." ”
Tian Yu then said: "The vacant land on the other side of the river will be temporarily assigned to your tribe, and the rest will wait for the decision of the imperial court." ”
Kirby moved to the side, knelt down, pressed his forehead to the ground, and said, "Thank you, sir." ”
Tian Yu ignored him and said to Yan Rou with a smile: "I'm going to write a letter to Liu Yuanjun, are you willing to help me send it over?" ”
Yan Rou is naturally willing, and he is not stupid. There is a shortage of women, a lack of craftsmen, and a lot of things in Guanzi City, but will there be a shortage of a messenger? It was clear that Tian Yu was going to promote him.
Kirby Neng was even more depressed, and he also admired Yan Rou very much, so he entrusted the affairs of the clan to the other party. Even the county orders that came to meet the Han people were also piggybacked, but talents are in demand wherever they are, and looking at this posture, I am afraid that people will not look down on their own small tribe in the future.
After being depressed for a while, Kirby suddenly thought that he was not bad to Yan Rou, if he could get a half-official position in the imperial court, it would be good for himself and Xianbei people. When I think about it this way, I feel a lot less depressed.
During the whole conversation, Chen Cheng can not speak without talking, and just be a beautiful man quietly. Because he has already told Tian Yu that he will return to the Central Plains after the beginning of spring, there is no need to be criticized now. But although he just wants to be a quiet and beautiful man, things sometimes come to his own door.
After the matter was finished, Kirby was able to relax and said: "My lord, I heard from the Wuhuan people who returned to the grassland that there is a Shenweitian general in the Han army, who is nine feet tall and has a waist circumference of nine feet, invulnerable, infinitely powerful, and the most powerful warrior in the world. ”
Tian Yu laughed, but Chen Cheng was a little depressed, this is nine feet tall, and his waist circumference is also nine feet, isn't that square?
"The person you're talking about is this one!" Tian Yu laughed for a while, pointed at Chen Cheng and said, "But his waist circumference is only afraid that it is not nine feet." ”
"Huh?" Kirby's eyes widened, looked Chen Cheng up and down, then shook his head, and said, "My lord said that I laughed, I heard that General Shenwei Tian is invulnerable and has infinite strength, this ......"
Although he didn't say it explicitly, the meaning was already very clear. Yes, although Chen Cheng has grown a little taller, officially reaching the threshold of eight feet, his limbs are not too thick, but they look a little slender because he has grown taller.
This kind of body type is very common among the children of the family and the powerful family, like a certain villager who is preparing to farm in Nanyang, isn't he eight feet tall?
Tian Yu smiled and said to Yan Rou: "Don't you also think that he doesn't look like a Shenwei Heavenly General?" ”
Yan Rou cautiously replied, "I haven't seen General Shenwei Tian in Xia, so I can't tell it. ”
Kirby was able to say something quickly, and Yan Rou said after listening, "Can the leader of Kirby say can you show us something......
Tian Yu laughed, turned his head to Chen Cheng and said, "Wenzheng, this Xianbei person asked you to perform for him." ”
Chen Cheng smiled and did not answer.
Tian Yu turned his head, the smile on his face disappeared immediately, and he said coldly: "What identity can Kirby be and dare to make such a request?" ”
Yan Rou saw Tian Yu's frosty face, and her heart was excited, but she said calmly: "That's not what the leader of Kirby can mean........
"What does that mean?" Tian Yu interrupted him and said, "Rong Di jackal, don't be tired of it; Zhuxia is intimate and cannot be abandoned. You tell him that he lives on the other side of the river, and if he encounters difficulties and humiliation, the official will only make decisions for them. But if the file is a traitor, this official will not spare it! ”
Yan Rou hesitated for a moment, and relayed it to Kirby in Xianbei words. Kirby can actually understand Chinese, but he can't speak, and his face has already changed color, at this time, his fingers trembled slightly, and he bowed down respectfully and said, "Obey the orders of the adults!" ”
Tian Yu said: "It's okay, you can retreat first." ”
When Kirby and Yan Rou left, Chen Cheng smiled and said, "The country is really majestic!" ”
Tian Yu said: "The Hu people are afraid of power but not virtue, so they should be tougher." ”
After speaking, he unfolded a scroll of bamboo slips, picked up the brush, and wrote a note. After writing it, he handed it to Chen Cheng and said, "Wenzheng will help me see, is there anything that needs to be modified?" ”
Chen Cheng smiled: "It's not that you don't know, I'm not good at rhetoric, where can I see anything?" ”
said so, but he still took the chapter, looked at it, and said: "Although the text is not very gorgeous, it means that it means so, and it can be sent directly to the state pastor." ”
When Gongsun Chan was trapped in Guanzi City, Youzhou was shocked three times a day, because the imperial court sent Liu Yu, who was very prestigious in the north, to serve as the pastor of Youzhou, and he was Gongsun Zhan's top boss.
Tian Yu feigned anger and said: "Say that my writing is not good, why don't you write one?" ”
Chen Cheng laughed and said, "I can only write in white characters, but I don't want it." ”
The so-called white characters are the simplified characters used by Chen Cheng, which have a lot fewer strokes than the small seal book, and are also nicknamed white characters.
Speaking of this, Chen Cheng said again: "I left all the rules and regulations and household registration documents in the record office, and the state asked me to remember to check them." ”
Tian Yu smiled and asked, "It's all white characters?" ”
"Not all," Chen Cheng said seriously: "The first two volumes are not!" ”
Tian Yu laughed, and Chen Cheng also laughed.
After a few more days, the weather suddenly turned cold. With the north wind howling, the snow finally fell. In just one night, the earth was completely changed. Everything is covered in white, and as far as the eye can see, there is a world of ice and snow. The three tigers saw the fluffy snowflakes for the first time and were very excited to run around the snow, leaving strings of paw prints.
Because of the sudden coldness of the weather, many animals were frozen to death, and some elderly people died as a result. The Han people who lived in the city were better, with thick walls to keep out the wind and a fire kang to keep warm, and few people died. The Golden Three Ring Department and Kirby Neng Department, who lived outside the city, froze to death dozens or hundreds of people overnight, which can already be regarded as a nerve-wracking for a tribe with only one or two thousand people.
On the grasslands, the snow is heavy in winter, and it is a terrifying white disaster that everyone hears about. However, if there is less snow in winter, it will form a black plague. Either way, it's very unfriendly to humans. In short, the prairie is such a fucking place.
And for the Xianbei people, there are even worse. Because they escaped from the sphere of influence of the Wuhuan people, the number of cattle and sheep was very small, except for the number of horses. After the frozen animals were eaten, they soon ran out of food. They had to brave the heavy snow to go into the mountains to hunt, and many more were killed and wounded.
After freezing to death and frostbitten many people, Kebineng braved the heavy snow to rush to the city, begging Tian Yu to allow them to move to live in the city, and begging for some food for their tribe.
Kobi Neng knelt on the cold ground and pleaded earnestly: "There are 2,000 people in the tribe, whether they are dead or alive, it is just a thought of the adults. ”
Tian Yu pondered for a long time, and finally said: "This matter is very important, and there is not much food in the city, I want to discuss it with others, you get up first." ”
He said to Kebineng: "You can send the children, women, and old people into the city first, and I will arrange a place for them to live first." Well, don't count more than three hundred. ”
Kebi Neng was overjoyed, walked forward on his knees, and said, "Thank you, my lord, Changsheng Heaven will definitely bless you!" ”
Tian Yu smiled dumbly and said, "This official doesn't need any immortal heavenly protection. ”
He walked towards the hall and said, "Let the county lieutenant vacate twenty houses near the school yard." ”
After a while, the county lieutenant hurried over, he stomped his feet under the hall now, shook his body, and got rid of the snowflakes on his feet, and then walked up to the hall and said, "Tian County Order, this matter must not be allowed!" ”
Tian Yu said kindly: "Why not? ”
The county lieutenant complained bitterly: "There are only so many houses in the city, if they are distributed to the Xianbei people, then what will our people do?" Also, if you give a house to the Xianbei people, do you want to give it to the Wuhuan people? ”
He glanced at Kebineng on the side, stretched out his hand, and said, "In order to build roads and dig coal, I don't know how many times my hands have been blistered!" That's it, just to build the road, we killed a dozen people! ”
In the end, he said confidently: "The grain is made by us who have worked hard to cultivate the land, and the coal is also dug up by us after a long time, so why should we give it to others?" ”
Kebi was extremely embarrassed, because he felt that what the county lieutenant said was very reasonable, and he couldn't refute it. But when it comes to the survival of the tribe, he can only bite the bullet and say: "God has the virtue of a good life........
After living near Guanzi City, his Chinese dialect has greatly improved.
The county lieutenant ignored him and shouted to Tian Yu: "If you give me an order, then I can only admit it." But we don't accept the things for the Hu people! ”
Tian Yu turned his face flat, snorted, and said, "If you are not convinced, hold it back, and vacate the house first!" ”
The official level crushed people to death, and the county lieutenant couldn't, so he had to leave in a huff.
