"Aren't you embarrassing me like this?"

Zhai Mohou said a little helplessly, he picked up the teapot in front of him, poured a cup of tea for each of the two Nanliang Taishou, and then pointed to the fish on the plate, "This is the fish freshly caught in the river, fresh, fried in oil, that fragrant, still hot, not fishy at all, taste some." ”

Zhang Zhenzhou sighed.

How can you still be in the mood to eat fish and drink tea, the mouth on the fire is full of bubbles.

In fact, they have long wanted to return to Qin, as long as Daqin says a word, they will return to Qin at any time, but the key is that they want to return to Qin, and the Qin people are unwilling.

Always say that the Jiangnan San Francisco is a game of chess, and it is not yet time to move the whole body.

These people who are waiting left and right, now seeing the chaos in the county under their rule, they want to return to Qin as soon as possible, and then they can shake off their hands.

"Gong Zhai, why don't you help us play with the above again, it's too difficult for us!"

Zhou Faming also said, "It's really not good, Zhai Gong, you can borrow us some food first." ”

"Why don't you open the border and let us let some of the victims go first?"

Looking at these two army leaders in the Southern Liang Dynasty now, Zhai Mohou couldn't laugh or cry. Since he served as the Taishou of Anlu, although he was on the frontline border, his life was indeed quite easy, and the two neighbors were too guarded, and they were thinking about how to join Qin all day long.

"There is no precedent for borrowing grain." Zhai Mohou held the teacup in his hand, the weather was hot, and he stayed in the Jiangxin boat, but the river breeze was very comfortable.

"Zhai Gong, we can't help it, so many victims, there is a great drought and locust plague, and now the people are all hungry, not to mention the people, even our soldiers and horses, and there is no food in the military warehouse. If this continues, not to mention that the hungry people will become thieves, even the soldiers and horses we are waiting for will become chaotic soldiers. When the time comes, we will really have no choice but to suppress them, and once these disaster victims cross the border, they will also cause trouble to you, Zhai Gong. ”

Chuyang County is south of the Han River and north of the Yangtze River, while Jiangxia County is south of Hankou.

These two counties can be said to be the strategic places of the small court of Nanliang today, but the two counties are too shou to think about throwing themselves into Qin all day long, this matter is actually clear to Xiao Miao, but he can't help it, he is now a government decree not to go out of Jiangling City in Nanjun, and the military leaders of all parts of the country respect him as the main one, but in fact, they are all doing their own thing, each dividing one party.

Zhou Faming also said bluntly, "The current situation is already very critical, this person is hungry and anxious, and he can do everything, maybe one day I will have someone cut off his head in my sleep." Therefore, if Gong Zhai doesn't help, then I really can't continue to stay in Jiangxia, I'll go back and pack up today, and I'll go to Luoyang tomorrow. ”

"Don't forget Lei Changying, two of you!"

Zhai Mohou reminded them.

As a result, in order to stabilize the three feudatories, the emperor first won the joint invasion of the northwest and the Western Turks, Tubo, Tuyuhun and Zhuqiang, and adopted a pacification strategy against the three feudatories, and captured the attached Lei Changying and sent it back to the Liang army, so that Tilei Changying was killed.

Zhang Zhenzhou looked helpless.

"It's really not good, I'll just lead the troops to Jiangling!"

"That's right, we will jointly send troops to Jiangling and take Xiao Mo for the saint! Then the whole country will be attached! ”

"Two, you have something to say." Zhai Mohou hurriedly said.

"Gong Zhai, at this time and at that time, when Lei Changying was attached, Daqin was fighting in the northwest at that time, but now the four sides are peaceful. Zhai Gong, a great achievement, not to be missed. ”

Zhai Mohou thought about it, and he was also a little moved.

"If you change your banner, how many subordinates will support you?"

"Everyone has been looking forward to this day for a long time."

"I have to report to the court."

"I'm afraid it's too late, now people's hungry eyes are shining, and there is no food, I'm afraid that people will eat each other."

Once people start cannibalism, then there are no more laws and morals to bind.

Although Anlu County is close to Luoyang, it will take two or three days to get a fast horse, and it will take five or six days at the fastest for news to come and go.

Five or six days is indeed too long for a hungry people.

"Well, I'll take the risk."

Zhai Mohou immediately decided to open the border, and first let the victims of Jiangxia and Chuyang counties come to the border, where he would set up disaster relief points and distribute porridge and grain.

If you want to transport grain to the two counties, it is better to let the victims come directly.

As for the two counties, they were still garrisoned by the two of them, and the food they needed was sent by them to transport it.

"Please also ask Zhai Gongneng to send a team of soldiers and horses into the country!"

"Yes, it's better to make a big show, it doesn't matter how many soldiers and horses there are, the important thing is that you must make a big show!"

Zhou Faming and Zhang Zhenzhou unanimously requested.

"Good!"

After returning to Hankow, Zhai Mohou immediately summoned his subordinate officials.

Then I personally went to visit Gonggong Liu in the city.

Gonggong Liu was a eunuch, a eunuch sent by the Ministry of Internal Service to Anlu County, Hubei Province, responsible for the exchange of grain for locusts in Anlu County, as well as the processing and storage of locusts for grain.

"Please ask Father-in-law Liu to secondment disaster relief food."

Gonggong Liu had several large warehouses in Hankou, and all the food stored in them was made from locust eggs, locust powder, small fish, shrimp, snails, shellfish, and miscellaneous grains.

This kind of disaster relief food is naturally inferior to the body powder sold in various places, the production process is rougher, and the materials are more inferior, but after all, it is also a real food that can be eaten.

Rice bran, wheat bran, bean flour, taro flour mixed with locust powder, fish and shrimp shell powder, it smells really average, and it is not very delicious to eat, but after all, it can be eaten and digested, compared with eating grass roots and bark directly, but it is different. Not to mention the kind of Guanyin soil that can barely feel full temporarily after eating, but in the end, it will not digest the Guanyin soil that is dying.

What's more, salt is even added to these relief grains.

"Isn't there still a lot of grain in Zhai Envoy's warehouse?" Gonggong Liu asked with a smile.

"Truth be told, I'm going to do something big, it's just that time is pressing." Zhai Mohou put things simply.

When the father-in-law Liu, who was only nine grades, heard this, he was taken aback and muttered for a long time.

"Since it is a big thing, then our family naturally has to fully support Zhai Yuanjun, as long as Zhai Yuanjun writes an official document and comes over, our family will give as much as we want."

"Thank you father-in-law for your righteousness!"

"It's all for the saints and for the court."

Jiangxia.

It is just across the river from Hankou.

Zhou Faming returned to the city and immediately announced the good news to his subordinate Wen Wu.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Great Qin has finally agreed to our return!"

Everyone was overjoyed.

"Immediately convey this good news to all levels, change the flag, and put out the Qin flag that everyone has been preparing for a long time!"

Jiangxia City, in front of the Taishou Mansion.

The first one was replaced with the Qin flag.

The original Liang flag was torn off and thrown aside, and a red Qinzi flag was raised high.

Seeing this flag, the people nearby were first surprised, then delighted.

Finally, they also became Qin people.

"We are also Qin people, we are saved, and we are finally saved!"

"Yes, if you become a Qin person, you are not afraid of drought, locust plague, and you don't have to worry about famine anymore!"

In Jiangxia City, various yamen, one after another Qin flags were raised.

And many of the people in the city hurried home.

"Lady, hurry up, hurry up to a red flag, let's return to Qin!"

Every household is vying for the red flag.

Zhou Faming also sent people to the street to publicize the notice as soon as possible, saying that Jiangxia would return to Qin. If the people in the county have no food at home, they can go to the ferry, where there will be boats to transport everyone across the river to Hankow, and there will be officials from Hankou who will give food and porridge to help the people.

That day.

Countless people from Jiangxia County began to rush to the ferry, and when they arrived at the place, there were already hundreds of boats prepared by the Jiangxia army ready to cross the river.

The people of Jiangxia, who were the first to grab the ferry, crossed the Yangtze River with excitement and boarded the Hankou wharf, where there were indeed many Qin troops waiting, and they guided them to the vicinity of the wharf, and they smelled the aroma of porridge stewed in a large pot from a distance.
