62. Controversy (3/3)

…
Before that, the ministers did not know that today was the birthday of Zhuxia. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Therefore, after entering the temple one by one, and taking their seats according to Xiao Guizi's guidance, they exchanged heads and talked about each other, wondering what festival today was, or what happy event there was.
Knowing that Zhu Xia walked into the hall, it was clear that it was Zhu Xia's birthday, and the scene was suddenly panicked, all of them lowered their heads, groping their bodies, what could be used as a congratulatory gift.
"We will not receive any congratulatory gifts today. A full meal is the best congratulatory gift for me, Lone decided, on the first day of the first month of next month, officially intervened in the war situation in Liaodong, please prepare for war, Lone does not want to be at that time, you will hold me back. ”
Everyone was discussing, and one of them came out of the ranks and said: "Your Majesty, at present, there are not enough officials in the Han State and they are unable to meddle in the outside world, should we delay it a little longer?"
"It's okay, Lone has already prepared, come up!" Zhu Xia beckoned, and a column of teenagers about eighteen years old walked into the hall unhurriedly and saluted Zhu Xia.
"They are the best in the first phase of Xinghan University's night school, they have studied with Xiao Qing for two months, and when they have completed their studies, they can barely be any of them, they will be assigned to various departments, I hope you can give them sharpening."
These people, a total of 9 people, have seen all the summers, and their attributes are all around 5 o'clock, even better than some of the people here.
Counting the students who graduated urgently, the number of officials in Zhuxia has exceeded 150 at present, and there are already four high-end talents, and it is only four months before the next wave of students graduate, plus the talents summoned, it has barely supported the entire Liaodong County.
At this time, everyone had no objections, surrendered their orders, and fell into celebration, but there were no women singing and dancing, and there was a lot of discoloration.
At the same time, Luo Qing was also dealing with him in Zhuanghe County, Wenhou and Fenghou were not willing to get such a result, but they were helpless, but when they heard that Zhuxia saw that they were weak and planned to help Zhuang Guo, they knew that this was a conspiracy, but they could only order a real attack.
When the war of the Three Kingdoms was fought here, the war-weary rhetoric in the country soared, the youth and strength decreased sharply, and some parts of the country directly became widows' villages.
The most intuitive is that the population of Zhuang has plummeted to more than 20,000 households, the population of Wen has plummeted to 30,000 households, and the population of Fengguo has plummeted to 40,000 households, and the ratio of young and strong population to female population is 3:7, which is the war that lasted about 8 months.
It's not that the countries can't see this, but that the domestic aristocracy interferes in politics, and the nobles pay a lot of resources and funds, and what they need is definitely not defeat, but victory, and they have received a large amount of weapons from the Han State, and they are full of confidence.
But at this moment, if the Han State helped the Zhuang State to intervene in the battle, then they would be blind, so even if they knew that it was Yangmou, they could only carry out a fierce attack.
Of course, Feng Guo still did not give up, and brought out the matter of Gao Guli's imminent southward departure, in an attempt to arouse the hatred of the Han State and provide weapons supply. Luo Qing still didn't give a reply, but said that he would ask his friend to see.
When Luo Qing returned, Zhu Xia was receiving the Zhuang envoy.
Zhuang Envoy Yizheng said: "The foreign minister dares to ask Han Hou, why when our army and the enemy army are fighting, the weapons used by the enemy soldiers are actually engraved with Chinese characters? Please Han Hou give an explanation of the hundreds of soldiers who died in battle. ”
"What? Actually use an iron sword produced by my Han Kingdom? How is this possible? Do you have any evidence? Zhu Xia said incredulously.
Zhuang envoy saw that Zhu Xia's expression was not like a disguise, and he was just a young man, thinking that the officials below were full of private pockets, and when he waved his hand, an envoy took two iron swords, and Xiao Guizi presented them, Zhu Xia looked at it, and his expression was cold.
"Bastard! Who did it! He dared to sell weapons privately, undermine the friendly relations between the two countries in Hanzhuang, and swore to kill him! Zhu Xia looked angry and looked around, as if he wanted to find the traitor!
However, none of the ministers showed any abnormality, they all bowed their heads and were silent.
Zhuang Envoy was also angry, and seeing that he couldn't find the murderer, he took the opportunity to say: "Hanhou, now the front line is in danger, I implore Hanhou to send troops to rescue."
"This ......" Zhu Xia showed hesitation and said, "This ...... Your envoy does not know that I have not given all the land to the people? But the little agricultural tax paid by these people is really not enough, is your envoy borrowing some grain? ”
"No problem, how much food does your country need, please don't laugh."
"Well, thirty thousand stones!"
"There is no 30,000 stones, so my country will pay 2,000 stones first, and your country will use it first, set off first, and when you enter Zhuangguo, all the logistics will be provided by Zhuangguo. How is it? ”
"At least 20,000 stone ......"
"Zhuang Hou is really in a hurry, and this matter is still made by your country, don't bargain, 10,000 stones, Han Hou, if you don't agree again, I can only leave."
"Well, that's okay, but you have to transport it first, otherwise I won't go, and besides, I'm going to enter the city, don't expect the Han army to use you as cannon fodder outside the city to resist the enemy's attack, I'm not stupid! If he doesn't agree, Lone will never send troops, let him wait for death.
Please Zhuang Hou think clearly, whether I am more credible, or the Wenfeng coalition army is credible Last time, I did not occupy Zhuang Guo, and also helped him maintain law and order and protect the temple, what would the other party do, he knew in his heart. Zhu Xia said calmly.
At this time, the Zhuang envoy suddenly showed embarrassment when he heard this, originally Zhuang Guo's interruption was to let the Han State be stationed outside the city to resist the enemy's soldiers, and a little bit to weaken the Han State's troops, but the other party obviously saw through their careful thoughts.
But these were not up to them, and the envoy said, "No, the foreign minister will definitely convey what Han Hou said truthfully, and ask Han Hou to prepare for war."
"As long as you agree to the request, Lone will send troops!"
Zhu Xia's dispatch of troops is certain, as for the subsequent actions, it is not within the scope of Zhu Xia's guarantee, and there is naturally a positive and strange difference between raising troops and fighting, but Qi can save the Han army from siege warfare, why not. When it's time to fight a tough battle, Zhuxia won't be intimidated!
The news reached back to Zhuang, and the Manchu dynasty of Zhuangguo was arguing against Zhuxia's demands.
"The wolf ambitions of the Han Kingdom, letting them into the city, is simply digging their own graves!"
"This is a mistake, the reputation of the Han Kingdom has always been very good, even if they are allowed to enter the city, at most they will lose something like last time, but Wenfeng and Wenfeng are different!"
"Yes, if Wenfeng and Wenfeng enter the city, it will be an unimaginable disaster, but when the Han Kingdom enters the city, they will also repel Wenfeng and Wenfeng."
After four days of arguing, the results came out, and the Marquis of Zhuang summoned his ministers to announce the outcome of the dispute on whether to let the Han Kingdom enter the city.
At the top of the main hall, Zhuang Hou's face showed a hint of categorization, and he announced the result in a deep voice......
