The 361st Zheng Xia's initiative

And Cai Dao put forward the plan, and the big deal with the Tatars led by the Zhe family personally sent people finally came to the good news, although in the process of the transaction, there were many twists and turns, but this big deal was finally successful.

According to the report, this time, the Zhejia family and himself received a total of more than 20,000 horses, 1,000 cattle and 50,000 sheep. The reason why they got so many sheep was because the Tatars had always regarded the sheep as food that could move around.

After Cai Dao got the news of the changes in the Lion Village, he immediately sent someone to inform You Feixiong, asking him to bring everyone back to Taihang Village after the transaction. Not a single horse or man is left for the lion village.

If someone doesn't want to follow him, they don't have to stop him, but those who want to leave must not take their horses with them. Now that the entire Hedong Road is covered with heavy snow, these people want to walk back to the Lion Village on two legs, which is more difficult than climbing to the sky.

With the passage of time, the people living on Hedong Road have become more and more difficult, and it is not an exaggeration to describe their lives as if they were living for years. I was looking forward to a good harvest of the grain in the field. However, a sudden heavy snowfall ruined everything.

Zheng Xia tried his best, but he couldn't save the catastrophe that the heavy snow was about to bring. He has no other skills, but his ability to spread rumors is not inferior to Cai Dao, this anti-bone boy actually threw this continuous snow on Cai Dao's body, trying to make Cai Dao carry this black pot for him.

If Zheng Xia hadn't taken office on Hedong Road, this move would really have been able to destroy the reputation that Cai Dao had built up in the people. However, at this time, Zheng Xia and Cai Dao arrived at Hedong Road at the same time. There is no need for Cai Dao to send people to spread rumors, what Zheng Xia did in Zhulu in Hebei was spread among the people, and for a while, who was the disaster star of Hedong Road was a huge quarrel at the civil and official levels.

At this moment, God began to hit Zheng Xia in the face.

First of all, there was definite news from Hezhong Province, and there was no snow there until now.

Hezhong Mansion is another gateway to the Guanzhong region on the Yellow River in the Sui and Tang dynasties - Puban, and in later generations, the approximate range here is Yongji City and Yuncheng City in Xishan Province.

Since ancient times, there have been mountains and rivers in the Guanzhong area, and one hundred and two Qin passes only say. The so-called land of the four stops refers to the Dasan Pass in the north, Wuguan and Qinling in the south, Hangu Pass, Tongguan and the Yellow River in the west, and Xiaoguan in the west.

In fact, there is still a gap in the four stops in Guanzhong, that is, Hezhong Mansion. During the Three Kingdoms period, after Ma Chao and Han Sui occupied Chang'an, they held each other with Cao Cao in Tongguan, although Cao Cao used Jia Xu's discord strategy, which caused internal contradictions between Ma Chao and Han Sui, but if Xu Huang did not lead his troops to cross the Yellow River from Puban and take the west bank of the Yellow River, Cao Cao's army would not have been able to completely sweep away the rebellion of Ma Chao and Han Sui so quickly.

Therefore, in the Sui and Tang dynasties, it became a battleground for soldiers.

A few days later, a more detailed message of the slap in the face came again. It turned out that the previous news was wrong, in fact, it also snowed around Hezhong Mansion, but neither the amount of snow nor the time of snow was comparable to Taiyuan Mansion. What's even more evil is that there is indeed a place in Hezhong Mansion where there is no snow, that is, the place that Cai Dao brought before - Zhongtiao Mountain Range.

That's right, the entire Nakajo Mountain Range still hasn't seen a single shadow of a snowflake.

This news was spread by the old man Mu Laozhai who was a flower and a fierce man, and he sent people to Hedong Road to spread it, and he personally experienced this incident and worshiped Cai Dao as a god. Since then, his old man simply changed into a Taoist robe and became a Taoist priest in the Baiyun Temple. Of course, when this old man should kill someone, he will definitely not be soft, and he should drink wine and eat meat in the same way as he should drink wine and eat meat.

Taoist priests are not monks, in fact, there are not too many rules and precepts to follow.

Within a few days of the spread of this sensational news, all the people on Hedong Road who received the news and whose homes were about to run out of food exploded. The people in Taiyuan Mansion gathered in front of the mansion and shouted for Zheng Xia to step down immediately.

It is said that this kind of attack on the government can be big or small, and at other times, it basically belongs to the category of rebellion. However, at this time, not only the people are dissatisfied with Zheng Xia, but these officials in the yamen are dissatisfied.

The disaster star came, and the heavy snow destroyed the autumn harvest, and they naturally lost a chance to go to the countryside to make money.

Moreover, there is news that there will be more people around Taiyuan Mansion on the way to Taiyuan City, one is that they all think that there will be enough food in Taiyuan Mansion, and in the face of this catastrophe, the government will definitely open a warehouse to release grain, which can help them survive this cold winter. Second, after hearing the rumors, these people were very worried that Zheng Xia would implement the same method in the entire Hedong Road as he did in Zhulu in Hebei.

To put it simply, it is to order all the cities of Hedong Road to close their gates, and then send and part of the Xiang army to strictly guard the passage from Hedong Road to Bianliang, Tokyo. As for those people who lack food and clothing in the heavy snow in winter, they can only be like the people who have died in Zhulu in Hebei a few years ago, and they have collapsed on the way to eat in the midst of hunger and cold.

Not to mention, Zheng Xia really planned to do this. After inspecting the treasury of Taiyuan Prefecture and the actual grain storage of Chang Ping, he had already made a decision. In fact, the grain stock in Taiyuan Mansion today is still very sufficient, enough to supply the soldiers on the front line, as well as the officials and people in Taiyuan Mansion for a year. However, this year's autumn harvest has come to an end.

If he puts the people around Taiyuan Mansion into the city again, will there still be enough food in the city?

There is a more serious problem, and there is no way to predict how long this heavy snowfall will last, and whether it will continue to reach this level of snowfall.

You know, it's only September. Optimistically, the snow will fall intermittently until mid-February next year. Even children can figure out that there are still five months left until mid-February.

Of course, this decision, Zheng Xia didn't care about it this time, even if he, the Hedong Road transfer envoy and the prefect of Taiyuan Prefecture, immediately ordered, it was only temporary, to do this, not only the cooperation of officials and soldiers at all levels of Hedong Road, but also the approval of the court Zaifu.

When Zheng Xia sent the recital he wrote to Jingshi urgently, Wen Yanbo and Lu Gongzhu were relatively silent, and this time they played a trick, neither asking for a holy decree nor writing the relevant documents themselves, but only sent conservative cronies to bring Zheng Xia a password. The content of the password is naturally for Zheng Xia to boldly deal with all matters on Hedong Road.

The official who was sent to deliver the message met with Zheng Xia in private, and he was threatening him in and out of his words, saying that he Zheng Xia had just arrived at Hedong Road and broke into such a big basket, and Wen Yanbo and Lu Gong made a lot of efforts, which suppressed the imperial historians in Bianliang City and kept his official position. Now, it is time for him Zheng Xia to repay the favor.

The official made only one request, and it was a very important order - resolutely not to let a single victim of Hadong Road cross the Yellow River and enter the Gyeonggi area.

It's a dead order.

As for whether to send troops to rescue the sons of the Cai family and Cai Dao himself, these people have long forgotten about this stubble.

As a result, under the 'unity' of officials at all levels of Hedong Road, those people who wanted to eat in nearby prefectures and counties were completely blocked outside the city wall, and the various passes leading to the Yellow River on Hedong Road were also locked up by heavy troops sent by Zheng Xia.

At this time, the people sent by Hua Xianyi to ask Cai Dao were not even able to enter the gate of Taihang Village, so they naturally returned in vain.

After Hua Xianqi learned the news, he knew that this was Cai Dao's punishment for him.

Aren't you able to do it on your own? Now it's time to test his ability as the master of the village.

Immediately gathered the leaders who had been supporting him together to discuss countermeasures. These people may not have any problems with letting them charge, but to let them come up with ideas, they are simply asking for blindness.
