Li Yan sighed and said, "The drought in the north is beyond your imagination, and the displaced people in some places have even eaten up the bark of grass roots and trees.

The grassland is even more desolate, with no fodder for cattle and sheep, and the threat of widespread death at any time.

The last remaining grain of Wei was being transported in large quantities to the north and important cities, firstly to prevent Xianbei from moving southward, and secondly, to avoid being robbed by displaced people.

The family does not have much surplus food, and this year's grain harvest has cut off their hopes.

Those important cities were not easily conquered by unarmed outcasts, for whom food was their life.

Therefore, if the displaced people want to rob them of their food, they will definitely try their best to maintain it, this is not to protect food, this is to protect life.

The displaced people would not go north, because not only did Wei have heavy troops there, but there could also be wars, in which human lives were the least valuable.

As for Jiangnan, which is less affected by drought, although the harvest is not high, at least there is still a harvest.

There is hope for harvest and achievement, so for the families in Jiangnan, food is not so important, and it is not worth fighting for with your life.

The first choice of the Wei State is the practice of losing both, the snipe and the clam compete for the fisherman's profit, and between the two and the other, the Wu State is the fisherman, and the Wei State will not be reconciled.

Therefore, Wei should choose the second method, to divert the disaster to the south, and use the displaced people to stir up the Wu State, and it is enough to garrison troops to protect the important cities, and even follow behind to fight the autumn wind when possible. ”

Lu Xun listened to Li Yan's words, thought for a while and said, "Isn't Wei State afraid that our Wu State will take the opportunity to go north?" ”

Li Yan shook his head and said, "As far as we know, the current drought in the north is also a very tricky matter for you Wu Kingdom.

If you go north, you will hardly be able to raise grain and grass locally, and you will have to rely on domestic transportation, which will put a lot of pressure on logistics.

The Wei State could easily clear the wilderness, bring the young and strong laborers and grain into the city, and leave the old, weak, sick and disabled to slow down the progress of the Wu State.

The longer your front stretches, the easier it is to fall into the quagmire of food shortage.

Although my lord will not allow you to have a large-scale war, when the situation is grim, you will defend the situation and Wei will fight for your life, and your thinking will be different, and those who fight for your life will not consider the consequences of the matter.

Therefore, I am here to solve this impending crisis for you, Wu, and to avoid the two countries from falling into the quagmire of chaos. ”

"What are you going to do?"

"Take over Jiangling and avoid direct contact between your Wu and Wei states in this direction.

When the time comes, whether it is the swarming refugees or the army of Wei, the first thing to face is our Huaxia State.

We Huaxia have our own way to solve the problem of the displaced people, and if the soldiers of the Wei State who expelled the displaced people to the south still want to mess around knowing that Jiangling is already under the jurisdiction of the Huaxia State, we in the Huaxia State do not mind leaving them a profound lesson.

In this way, no matter what the situation is in the future, at least Wu Guo can stay out of the matter, keep his light and keep his strength. ”

"But Jiangling is also a rich place in our Wu country, and it can support the use of 30,000 soldiers with the power of one place, so this Jiangling is not unimportant to our Wu country."

"The purpose of your 30,000 soldiers stationed here is nothing more than to prevent Wei from moving south, and almost all the output of Jiangling is used for these 30,000 soldiers, and you even need support from the rear during the war.

Therefore, for you Wu State, this is a place where only input and no harvest is made, but because of Wei State, you have to defend it.

If we Huaxia Kingdom don't intervene, your thinking is also correct.

But once our Huaxia Kingdom intervened, the situation changed.

Although the state of Wu has one less Jiangling city, it has an additional powerful barrier, so it does not have to worry about the threat of the state of Wei from this direction, nor does it have to send supplies here for many years.

Those elite soldiers of Wu State can also be sent out to guard other places, which should be a good choice for Wu State. ”

"If you still use such an excuse to annex the cities of our Wu Kingdom in the future, what should we do? Please teach me, should our Wu State sit back or fight back? ”

Li Yan smiled and said, "The land of Wu Kingdom, our Huaxia Kingdom really doesn't pay attention to it.

In your eyes, the so-called Jiancheng is really not an obstacle to what we have in the hands of Huaxia Kingdom.

If my lord really wants to take it by force, these cities are like cages that can be erased with a single gesture of one's hands and feet.

It's just that the lord is merciful and can't see the people suffering, if it weren't for the sake of finding a place to settle the displaced people, our Huaxia Kingdom would not interfere in this matter.

Although I have now voted for another Ming Lord, after all, I was once a subject of this Wu State, so under my proposal and guarantee, Huaxia Kingdom is ready to use 50,000 stone milled rice as compensation for your relinquishment of Jiangling jurisdiction. ”

"Fifty thousand stone polished rice?"

"Yes, 50,000 stone milled rice has been transported to the riverside, and you can receive it at any time.

However, my lord has already said that due to the urgency of time, tomorrow he will recruit men in this Gangneung City to prepare for the reception of displaced people from the north.

If you don't let go, he will come and get it himself.

Therefore, there is not much time left for you, and I ask the general to make a decision as soon as possible. ”

Li Yan's words were soft and hard, and Lu Xun kept thinking about ways to deal with it, but every method was overturned by the movie pictures he saw in his mind.

That kind of power is not something that flesh and blood can fight against at all.

He is really a general of Zhenxi, and he is still in Zhenxi, and the Huaxia Kingdom that suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the west can be suppressed by mortals?

If this Jiangling is not handed over, the 30,000 soldiers will definitely not be able to return to Jiangdong, and it may even give the Huaxia Kingdom a reason to destroy the Wu State.

Handing over Jiangling, 30,000 soldiers can leave safely, and at the same time, they also sold a face to Huaxia Kingdom, and the 50,000 stone polished rice can be regarded as an unexpected joy.

After all, in Lu Xun's view, the 50,000 stone polished rice was obtained by Li Yan for them, which can be regarded as repaying the kindness of the past acquaintance.

The lesser of two evils, such a choice is not entangled, no one will be difficult to decide, according to Huaxia Guo's wishes, it is the best ending for Wu Guo.
