Gao Xianguo has been in the alternation of floods and droughts for two consecutive years.

It is said that a country like Gaoxian, because of its proximity to the ocean, has not had a drought for many years, but this year is something that is going on, the wind is always blowing, that is, there is no rain, and there are people in the Huangpu Academy in Dongxia who are resident in Gaoxian to observe the natural phenomena there. Although there is still no shortage of water in rivers and lakes, Gao Xian did not build countless water conservancy facilities like the Eastern Xia, and as soon as the water near the water is stranded, the farmland cannot be watered, the pastures are withered one by one, and the drought is accompanied by the plague, and the people are not able to make a living. As a king and shamanic leader, she could not pray for rain, which greatly reduced Long Liushu's prestige, and she was forced to travel and inspect many places due to the national conditions, and after fasting, reducing meals, and practicing French methods, it seemed that she could not alleviate the disaster, and Gao Xian was almost starving, and she seemed to suddenly wake up from the fog of shamanism.

Diao-bird sent her through letters.

Ta Da Erhu also wrote her letter after letter.

She changed her normal behavior and even hired many gentlemen from Dongxia to observe hydrology and arranged to carry out water diversion projects in densely populated areas.

Once the hungry people fled to Dongxia and were caught, she did not make a decision in previous years, but said: "Birds and beasts especially know how to survive and migrate, let alone people." Starvation is death, plundering is death, fleeing is death, once you die, there is no difference, let them go. ”

From time to time, she would be extremely sad and ask stupidly, "Why didn't Abba have such a great disaster when he was alive?" Am I doing something wrong? ”

Years of lustful dogs and horses have almost ruined her body and appearance, in order to be able to look old, she uses all kinds of home remedies, what women's placenta, lamb fat, but in the end, it is the Dongxia gouache that fascinates her more, slowly conquering her body and mind, she sometimes holds these things, and asks stupidly: "Why can the country of Dia Bird make these things." Did the immortal heavens come down and tell him? ”

Everyone around her noticed that she was changing.

Maybe it's the changes caused by age, maybe it's because the high place has been cold for too long, and her out-of-the-box thinking converges little by little, and she begins to have the seriousness of a king.

Especially in terms of carnal desire, it suddenly became dull and tasteless.

Three years ago, she sent a mission to Dongxia to study all kinds of knowledge. A year ago, she belittled the already pot-bellied Jin Wushu to the lower reaches of the river, worshiped the dragon and sand badger as a general, recalled the prime minister Wu Longqi, returned the power of the prime minister, and reset the imperial court, which was incredible to Long Qingyun's former ministers and important figures in shamanism, and they couldn't figure out what made her come out of the grotesque and abnormal. In this year's drought, in order to fight against Long Qingyun's old ministers, the shamans took advantage of the famine to exert their strength, but forced her to recall the Golden Vultures, but she lost her previous favor. Because of this weather, and because of the catastrophe, many people who took refuge in Dongxia could not abandon their hometowns, and returned to China one after another.

This action also made her rule not loosen in the slightest.

Dongxia Guo said that he would provide assistance, but the ministers objected, but she herself hesitated to accept it or not. The ministers were afraid that the supplies of the Eastern Xia Kingdom would pour in, and they would try their best to win the hearts of the people, and once the Eastern Xia used troops, all the people would surrender, and they retorted and suppressed her thoughts. Jin Wushu and others were still taking the opportunity to promote the dispatch of troops to plunder Dongxia, suggesting that even the Longsha badger could not hold on, and had the idea of looting Dongxia to alleviate the domestic disaster, but Long Liushu denied it and asked: "Which of you can beat Dia Bird?" Go for it. ”

At the critical moment, the envoys of the Tuhut and the Krozi tribe arrived.

The shamanic faction was ecstatic, and with this ally, it was natural to use the army Dongxia.

The Confucian ministers were also disagreeable.

Long Liushu summoned important generals such as the Longsha Badger in a row, and even summoned the envoys of the Tuhut people in a row, but he still did not make a decision.

No matter who compares the combined strength of the three parties to her, and who tells her, in fact, Jing Kang is also very dissatisfied with him, and Long Liushu does not make a decision.

Or even procrastination.

Everyone was puzzled, they didn't know such a good opportunity, why she was unwilling to take advantage of it, if she won a battle, not only could she steal back a large amount of materials, but it was even possible to unify Gao Xian Dongxia, seeing that she was slow to make a statement, the Longsha badger was a little anxious, and now with Gao Xian alone, it is impossible to win Dongxia, and let Dongxia defeat the Tuhut people and destroy the Crozi Department, then it is not a cold mouth?

The dragon sand badger thought about it and felt that he should enter the palace again, and this time, he met an acquaintance in Long Liushu's bedroom.

The king was born.

Wang Ben, who is over thirty years old, is fat again, but he is not too fat, not like many high-ranking people, after the age of thirty, he has a big belly, but his two eyes are more divine, and his body is more neatly tied, a plate of flower robes, a gold and jade belt, and a straight yarn tube on his head, which looks rich and majestic. Standing here, he startled the dragon sand badger, who had never thought that the king could have such an atmosphere.

Wang Ben stood respectfully in front of Long Liushu, but when he looked at the dragon sand badger, he was a little arrogant, his abdomen was straight forward, and his chin was raised.

The dragon sand badger sneered in his heart.

He couldn't see these things that no one was looking at, what kind of goods were snatching sugar sticks in the school back then, he knew it clearly, so he shouted bluntly: "Wang Jishen." What are you here for? ”

Wang Ben said without hesitation: "Save the people of Gaoxian and send food to the people of their hometown." ”

The dragon sand badger saw the situation of the grassland thoroughly, and sneered: "When you ask us to be high, you still refuse to put down your body? ”

Wang Ben smiled and said, "You don't know how powerful Dongxia is now, even if you and the Tuhut people and the Crozi people are all combined, you can't try to defeat us." We have more than 2.5 million people in the country. One out of five is 500,000 troops, and if you join forces in one place, it will only increase the difficulty of our victory, how? Do you still think you can win both? Two and a half million men over the age of fifteen are millions of men by the standards of our outsiders. ”

The corners of the dragon sand's badger's mouth twitched, and he wanted to refute, two and a half million dingkou? Just rely on Huangxi, the North Plains, Yuyang, and a piece of land grabbed from the east?

But he didn't directly refute the number of people, and if he didn't have more than 2 million people, he would have weakened his momentum, not to mention that there would always be 1 million if there were no 2.5 million.

Long Liushu believed it. She said slowly: "Two and a half million? Two million can't frighten the widow, and it can't stop the widow from taking anyone's side. Yes. Six years ago, when he went west to conquer the state of Chen, he gathered an army of four or five hundred thousand, and it was not impossible for more than two million Dingkou to be more than impossible, and the widows were never threatened. Not to mention the threat of his Dia bird. It's a big deal. The widow no longer exists, and it does not make him feel better. ”

Wang Ben believed.

She's a crazy person herself.

What's more, she can accept anyone's threats, but she can't accept Diao's.

Wang Ben said: "I didn't think of threatening Sister A, I just told you a fact. Our king has always been a miracle worker, when he came back with hundreds of soldiers and more than 2,000 people, who would have thought that he has today, these years he has coarse linen clothes, night and night, with the people of one heart and one mind, living the people and cattle and sheep, even the palace is not willing to build, his own children are walking at the bottom, you all know, the people of the world admire him, defect to him, more than 2.5 million Dingkou is still last year's plan, today is different. The strength of Dongxia is beyond your imagination, the Tuhut people are just a small disease of scabies for us, and the king has had a dream since he was a child, that is, to emulate the heroes of Ashi Ming, Ao Xia, Wanyan Guda, and Mao Dun, to dominate the desert and become the only Tianjiao ...... on the desert."

Long Liushu interrupted, tangled and said, "He never told me. ”

The lonsand badger felt anxious and wanted to ask her, "Didn't I tell you about it?" ”

But soon he came to his senses again, in fact, whether Dia Niao told Long Liushu that his ambition was very important, and the reason why Long Liushu didn't look down on Dia Niao was that he thought that he was Pi Lai and did not have the majesty of Battle.

Wang Ben said unceremoniously: "He said, in your Abba's big tent, he said Di Axiao, how can Di Axiao follow Wei Huo and drive his brother around?" I still remember it clearly, I knew then that he would have such a day, so as soon as he came back, I made up my mind to serve him, sister, you despise our king too much, throughout the ages, there has never been a king as eloquent as him. He participated in the compilation of the calendar, wrote geometry, promulgated the laws of Daxia, chased after the ancestors, conquered everything, was invincible, and implemented the law of the new army...... This is universally recognized. ”

The Lonza badger also had to admit it. Gao Xian people have always thought that the Dongxia people are beautifying Dia Bird, but after a long time, the people who sent Dongxia came back and said so, then there is no doubt, there is no doubt that new things and strange things in Dongxia are endless, the soldiers are brave, and the law is strange, except for his Dia Bird's character that is different from ordinary people, who else can establish such a country? Wang Ben said softly: "The king doesn't want to meet his sisters and brothers, and I hope that you will use this as an excuse to accept our Dongxia's assistance." Brother Sand Badger, maybe you don't believe it. Our king does not move the troops of the Northern Plain and the two states of Dingxia, and he has an army of 300,000 to sweep through the desert......"

He asked rhetorically: "Even if Gao Xian is allied with the Tuhuts, can he fight the 300,000 troops led by our king?" ”

Long Liushu thought for a moment and said, "Widow? ”

When she said this, she looked at the dragon and the badger and said, "I won't hide it from you." They said that Jingkang would also use troops against you, and Jingkang's army would be added. ”

Wang Ben smiled: "So what? I wanted to make bold remarks, but before I came, the king told me not to let me talk about my sister, so as not to cause his sister's displeasure. I will also tell you the truth, the reason why our king suddenly launched such a big war is that he feels Jingkang's hostility towards us, and only by quickly unifying the grassland can we have the strength to compete with Jingkang. Others may have a cold heart, but Gao Xian should not have, Gao Xian and Dongxia are originally a family, if our king wins the Central Plains one day and sits on the four seas, even if Gao Xian is given to Sister A's fief? Is he reluctant, or do you think he won't give? ”

He whispered, "Our king was supposed to be King Gaoxian." ”

The dragon sand badger was about to speak, but Long Liushu raised his hand to stop it.

She said: "I have decided to accept the grain of Dongxia and the medical officer of Dongxia, but if the widow wants to join him and make an alliance with him, he must come in person." ”

The dragon sand badger had to retort again.

But she said: "Wang Ben is right. He was supposed to be King Gao Xian, carefully selected by my father, and my father could see it, but I didn't see it. ”

Wang Ben left in high spirits, no longer having the humility and timidity of ten years ago.

As soon as he left, the dragon sander badger said with dissatisfaction, "Wolf lord." He was too rude. With your character, how can you just put up with it? ”

Long Liushu thought for a while and said, "I haven't seen him for many years, let's meet him." The widow has always believed that he has any ability to make Dongxia so powerful. ”

After a while, she said, "Brother Sand Badger." Drink with me. Our brother and sister have been estranged for many years. It's me who is wrong. It was also my fault to force him to set up another rippling earth. Wang Ben's words can't be fully believed, but there is one thing that is credible, if he destroys me Gaoxian one day, he will still treat our Long clan well. Isn't he a member of the Long Clan himself? I regret it, either love him or kill him. Regret. ”

The lonsa badger sighed and said, "I knew this was the case, so why bother in the first place." Ancestor ...... Nor is he cunning. He saw that we needed food. In fact, this is the last chance to destroy him. ”

Long Liushu said, "Yes." If it was a few years ago, I didn't care, now, I care. After two years of famine, even if we allied with the Tuhut people and defeated him, what would Gao Xian be like? They will fight in the country, are they the people? ”

With tears in her eyes, she said, "Before people starved to death, they were all on the way east. He is a ghost, a ghost living in our nightmare of Gaoxian, and people believe him for no reason, thinking that as long as they cross the river, Dongxia will not let them starve to death, because Dia Bird, the king of Dongxia, is a Gaoxian person, don't you know at all? ”

Pursing her lips, she tried her best to suppress: "I can't defeat him." Helpless. Do you still want to join forces with Jin Wushu and these people to insist on starting a war with Dongxia? ”

The dragon sand badger sighed.

He knew why Long Liushu came in and repeatedly met the envoy of the Tuhut people, but he didn't make a decision, it was just to blackmail Dongxia, in order to negotiate conditions, but he was waiting for an envoy like Wang Ben to come with supplies, and the excuse was to ask for it, and this decision was too correct, the military generals of Wenchen were greedy for the wealth of Dongxia, poor and crazy, and now sober, but the queen who thought that he was not sober in the past.
