Chapter 225: Chai Rong's Promise

Ye Hua was taken to talk to Guo Wei secretly, this time there were only three monarchs and ministers, what they talked about was not complicated, Guo Wei only asked one thing, at this time, the Khitan soldiers were strong and strong, the Great Zhou Dynasty was established not long ago, and the national strength was not strong, even if there was an occasional victory, it would be difficult to completely recover all Yanyun, since it couldn't be done, what was the point of fighting, wasn't it a waste of labor and money? No one will fight for the sake of fighting, and without enough reasons, Guo Wei will not nod.

"In order not to lose Yan Yun!"

Ye Hua pondered for a long time and gave his answer.

"Your Majesty, since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there have been 300,000 Han people who have fled back to the Central Plains from Yanyun, Your Majesty has been merciful and has given them land, and these people are grateful to Dade, and they are all grateful to Your Majesty for your grace."

Guo Wei said: "Could it be that I didn't do it right, the return of the Han people shows that the Khitan is perverse, exploiting excessively, they are cruel and tyrannical, how can it last long?" ”

"Your Majesty, 17 years have passed since Shi Jingjiao ceded the sixteen states of Yanyun, and in these 17 years, more than 500,000 people have returned from Yanyun, and the number of people who died on the way is twice as many, and the Khitan has wantonly killed, and now the sixteen states of Yanyun are afraid that there are less than 2 million people. The people who really have their hearts to the Han family either died or ran away, and the remaining Han people gradually became almost the same as the Hu people. With such a large piece of land and a sparse population, even if it is exploited, the common people still have a way to survive. ”

Ye Hua became more and more solemn, his voice trembled, and he was inexplicably sad and indignant: "It's been 17 years!" A full 17 years have passed, that is to say, people under the age of 17, they have been Khitans since they were born, and they don't even know the country name and the Son of Heaven of the Central Plains Dynasty, if another 17 years, or even 34 years...... There are fewer and fewer people who care about the Han family, and when the time comes, they will only be ordinary people under the rule of the Khitan, and they will definitely not be interested in the Central Plains...... Your Majesty, the land of Yanyun cannot be delayed, if the imperial court still wants to take back Yanyun, it must not plan ahead! ”

Ye Hua really put his heart and soul into the heart and pointed out the most critical issues.

Does Guo Wei want to take back Yanyun?

He dreamed of it!

As a first-hand witness, when Shi Jingjiao ceded the land of the entire 16 states, many people scolded Shi Jingjiao, saying that he gave too much and left endless disasters.

Looking carefully at the location of the 16 states, all of them are on the line south of the Great Wall, which used to be the rear of the Great Wall's defense line, relying on the layers of mountains and rivers to consume the power of the nomadic cavalry, protect the safety of the Central Plains farming area, and shelter tens of millions of people.

But these 16 states were handed over to the Khitan, not only did they hand over the gate, but they also gave up the second gate.

The Central Plains is directly exposed to the Khitan Iron Cavalry, as long as you are in a good mood, you can wave your army south at any time!

What's even worse is that the Khitan crossed the Great Wall, which had both the strong production and manufacturing capacity of an agrarian society and the strong combat power of the nomadic cavalry, and was suddenly fed into a monster.

Now the Khitan is still digesting the spoils of war, if it is delayed any longer, when Yanyun completes the natural replacement of the population, they have a different way of life, and when the time comes, when they go to the Northern Expedition, they will encounter not a pot pulp, but a knife, a gun and a stick!

Guo Wei also had to admit that Ye Hua pointed out a problem that many of them ignored.

Even Guo Wei felt that Yan Yun was a common man of the Han family, as long as the imperial court sent troops, the common people would at least be on their side.

But he forgot that people are constantly changing, metabolizing, and now 17-year-old people don't know the Central Plains Imperial Court, and they will be 18 years old next year, and 19 years old the year after next......

Time is like a copper kettle dripping and draining quickly.

Yan Yun is not an item that is placed there, and it is the same when you go to get it...... It's a living creature that's constantly changing, and it's different every day!

That unlucky guy Yelu Ruan followed the example of the Central Plains and established the system of southern officials.

The Khitans are stumbling and growing, from a nomadic tribe to a powerful empire, and sooner or later, it will become a nightmare for the Central Plains!

Guo Wei was finally persuaded by Ye Hua's sharp eyes, and he agreed to focus on the Khitan.

But the question is, is Da Zhou's strength enough?

What can they do?

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that all the princes in the court have a misunderstanding, thinking that if you don't fight, you will do nothing, and you think that if you want to fight, you will take back the entire Yanyun, and the minister thinks that this is not right!"

Guo Wei didn't speak, Chai Rong showed a thoughtful look, he pondered for a long time, and suddenly smiled, "Champion Hou, do you mean to step by step, slowly?" ”

"At the very least, the big goal should be broken down into a number of steps...... For example, should we support the Han people of Yanyun, and those who are still insisting on fighting against the Khitan, should they be inspired? Do we need to be careful and find out the situation. Also, can we launch some small battles to blow and weaken the Khitan forces, and besides, we will go north to garrison troops to attract the main Khitan force to the south, and see which of us has enough stamina......"

Ye Hua said more than a dozen in one breath, all of which were prescribed for the right medicine, and the foreshadowing was made in order to recover Yanyun.

Guo Wei listened patiently, and in the end, he couldn't help laughing, "Master Feng, you are really like a god!" ”

Feng Dao?

Is he here?

Ye Hua hurriedly looked around, but found no trace of Feng Dao.

Suddenly, the door of the side hall opened, and Lao Feng Dao walked over with a smile, he ignored Ye Hua's surprised gaze, the old guy bowed deeply at Guo Wei, and then said with a smile: "Lao Chen still knows the champion Hou, he is only a little unique, but he is too lazy." If you don't kick him twice, you can't come up with a good solution. No, here's the idea! ”

Guo Wei's face was flushed, and he looked very satisfied.

Ye Hua's proposition can be regarded as right in the middle.

And Feng Dao's skillful setting up of organs is also impressive.

It seems that the only one who is not convinced is Ye Hua.

Dare you set up a trap for me to drill, do you still have a conscience?

His eyes were vicious, staring at Feng Dao viciously, and he couldn't wait to rush up and give the old guy a face full of flowers. Feng Daoxu saw Ye Hua's cannibalistic gaze, and his bad water came up again.

"Your Majesty, the champion Hou is awkward with the old man, in fact, it's a strange old man."

Guo Wei was puzzled, "How can you see it?" ”

Feng Dao said with a smile: "The old man has so many granddaughters and granddaughters, and the champion Hou is almost 16 years old, it's time to talk about marriage." Lao Chen has a granddaughter who is just 17 years old this year, full of talent, beautiful and demure, elegant and dignified, and admires the reputation of the champion Hou very much. If you don't want to, please marry a pair of golden boys and jade girls for them, and the old minister is grateful for this matter! ”

"Oh! I see! ”

Guo Wei looked at Ye Hua carefully, yes, the little guy is almost a head taller than he was at the beginning, he is a big child, it's time to get married, it's a pity for the royal family, there is no suitable princess to marry Ye Hua, the granddaughter of Master Feng, that's also good.

Guo Wei said with a smile: "The girl of the Feng family, naturally she has nothing to say, it depends on whether the others agree or not!"

Guo Wei said this, but listening to the tone, it was clear that he was already going to be this big matchmaker.

Ye Hua's head was about to explode, and the surnamed Feng didn't say anything, but he also wanted to force his granddaughter to come over, relying on the old and selling the old, and bullying people too much!

Ye Hua really wanted to break out and give Lao Feng no time to the stage, but the problem is that there is Guo Wei, it's hard to say! He was so anxious that he was sweating.

At this time, Chai Rong spoke, "Father, Taishi Feng is the leader of the literary world, the master of Shilin, admired by people, and his moral knowledge is unparalleled in the world...... Champion Hou is a young hero, famous all over the world, this heroic beauty is a story for the ages...... However, Erchen thought that the champion Hou Chunxiao, the marriage was a major event, and it was even more important to ask the old Fengjun to be the master, but her old man did not nod, and the champion Hou would never dare to marry casually. ”

Guo Wei really had the heart to directly decree marriage, and the words came to his lips, so he had to take it back.

"King Jin's words are reasonable, and he should indeed ask his aunt to decide."

……

Thanks to Chai Rong's righteous action, he escaped the fate of becoming Feng Dao's son-in-law, Ye Hua is needless to say that he is angry in his heart, he has already sworn that he must give Feng Dao a good look!

We're not done, old man!

Ye Hua had a stinky face, and it was not pleasing to anyone, and only Chai Rong dared to come over.

"Hehe, you don't like the granddaughter of the Feng family?"

Ye Hua said with a tense face: "I don't like it or not, I just don't like to buy and sell!" Stick it in my hand! ”

"Hahaha!"

Chai Rong laughed loudly, what an arrogant boy, you are a girl from the Feng family is a radish and cabbage?

How many young talents are lining up to be Feng Dao's grandson-in-law!

However, Ye Hua's awkward energy, Chai Rong understands it very well.

He had just experienced it himself, and Guo Wei forced a Miss Fu.

Initially, Chai Rong was also repulsed.

However, after getting married, Fu did his best to assist him and gave birth to a son, which is really a virtuous helper.

It can be seen that what is shoehorned is not necessarily bad, and what you choose is not necessarily clever...... Of course, there is a certain amount of discomfort in the heart.

"Ye Hua, how do you see this, whoever you fall in love with in the future, I will be a matchmaker for you to ensure success, how about it?"

The prince's promise still carried a lot of weight, and of course Ye Hua nodded.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

"Don't rush to thank me." Chai Rong said: "This time, you and I both advocate the north first and then the south, and the princes of the Manchu Dynasty, but we have offended one after another." Next, how to deal with the Khitan and get Yan Yun back, you need to do more. Otherwise, we will be disgraced, whose girl is willing to marry? ”

After speaking, Chai Rong walked away and went home to hug the child.
