PS: There will be another chapter in a moment

Lu County, which was later Lingshi County, was built outside a narrow valley mouth, which is now called "Lingshikou", and later generations called it "Rat Bird Valley". Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Mouse Bird Valley" leans on Taihang in the west, looks at Yishui in the east, the most famous place near is the Langya Mountain, deep and unfathomable, Li Yuan and Li Shimin father and son have fought hard here at the end of the Sui Dynasty, it can be seen that the importance of geographical location, if it is a strong attack, Zhao Wuxian can not take much advantage.

Fortunately, although the defenders of Lücheng were extremely loyal to the Wei family, there were Zhao troops in the name of the monarch outside the city, and tens of thousands of hungry people gathered inside.

But Zhao went even further than he thought, and despite the protests of the Wei officials, they quickly seized the weapons of the guards and imprisoned them.

At the same time, grain trucks and grain ships docked, and began to set up porridge sheds inside and outside the city to carry out the first round of disaster relief - perhaps because of the north wind, the locust plague in autumn did not cause damage to most areas of Taiyuan County, a large number of immigrants from the old Jiang five years ago, opened up a large amount of land in the vast and sparsely populated Taiyuan County, where the fertility is sufficient, and the harvest is abundant, ensuring the food supply during the locust plague, plus the inventory in the regular closing warehouse, this can go south for disaster relief.

For a while, the air in Lucheng once again wafted the long-lost fragrance of corn, which contained the smell of sunshine and autumn.

That night, the hungry people finally had a good meal.

Although most of the rice used for disaster relief was last year's old rice, whether it was boiled millet porridge or steamed wheat rice, the hungry people ate it deliciously. Under the moon, they were eating the porridge they had given to them, thinking of the hard days that had passed, and they were reluctant to eat it for a while. They sniffed the intoxicating scent with their noses, and there were a few skinny old men, tears falling uncontrollably into the bowls.

"I don't want to be able to eat hot soup and rice again."

Although the Wei officials were pressured by the orders of the monarch, for these people, disaster relief was carried out in the name of the Zhao family, who owed Zhao Wuxian a life. For a while, these people began to be grateful to the Zhao family, Zhao Wuxian rode by, and when they shouted at them, they all congratulated Zhao Shangqing on his birthday, and the lord of the Wei family had long been forgotten, if he told them that he would be ruled by the Zhao family in the future, it is estimated that he would be long lived.

This is in response to what Zhao Wuxian said: "If the king abandons his people, then . . . and the people forsake their kings."

After going around in a circle, Shi Qi, who had always advocated the direct annexation of the Wei clan and even asked Zhao Wuxian to establish a country on his own, came around and asked: "After this time, what does the lord plan to do, all the way to Jiang and Quwo, and then withdraw without any offense, so that the Wei clan will be grateful to Dade?" Forgive the minister bluntly, if he used the food on the soldiers, gathered the three armies from Taiyuan, Changzi, and Shangjun and went straight to Hedong, he would have hit Anyi and destroyed the Wei clan by now! ”

Zhao Wuxian said with a smile: "Your opinion is the same as that of Pi Bao when Qin Mugong was about to save Jin Hunger. ”

Shi Qi was not familiar with this grievance between Qin and Jin, and was a little puzzled, so Zixia explained on the side: "It was the fourth year of Jin Huigong, the Jin country was famine, and he begged in the Qin country. Qin Mugong summoned Baili Xi and Pi Bao, and Baili Xi said, 'Natural disasters are epidemic, the country has it, disaster relief is sympathetic to neighbors, and the way of the country is also.' with. Pi Leopard said, 'It's better to cut it down.'" ”

Shi Qi also knew what happened next, he immediately said: "It turned out that Baili Xi was wrong, Pi Bao was right, Jin Huigong didn't remember the kindness of Qin State, but he tried to attack Qin State, but the result was not a battle of Han Yuan, Qin Mugong's hard work was in vain, but it was laughed at by the people of the world." ”

Zixia sneered at each other: "Otherwise, its king is evil, and what is the crime of its people?" Compared with the civil war caused by the deployment of troops to attack Wei, the sovereign relief of the Wei counties flowing in Fenshui is really benevolent and righteous, and the monarch has returned to his heart when he sees the people? ”

Before Shi Qi could say, "What's the use of the people returning to their hearts", Zhao Wuxian stopped their argument.

"I am clear about the opinions of the two of you, now that Lucheng has accepted the disaster relief, and the southern counties cannot be pulled down, immediately let the soldiers prepare to go south, and while returning to their hometowns with the hungry, they will continue to advance southward until Pingyang."

Shi Qi's eyes lit up: "What if someone blocks it?" ”

"Whoever blocks it will be the first to suffer, and it can be exterminated, with the number and strength of the Zhao army, it should be easy to deal with the guards, not to mention, there are so many hungry people leading the way."

The counties of Lü, Yi, and Yang were geographically separated from the Wei clan's Hedong headquarters across the Han clan's Pingyang, and it was difficult to take care of anything that happened, so Zhao Wuxian planned to seize actual control of this land first.

For the hungry people at the bottom, loyalty to the country and the king is something far away, and their criterion is that if there is food, the lord is the king! If they can win the support of tens of thousands of people first, then the land where they are located will naturally be included in the actual bag.

Wuxian is not in vain to help the Wei family to help the people, these counties are close to Taiyuan, is the only place to go south to Hedong, the geographical location is very important, he must control this place, in order to grasp the initiative in his hands.

Therefore, he did not choose Zi Xia's suggestion to slowly provide disaster relief to win the hearts of the people, nor did he completely follow the plan of Shi Qi and others to attack the Wei clan quickly, but combined the two and coerced the Marquis of Jin to order Zhuqing, so that he could not use the sword soldiers very much, but also efficiently surrender the troops without a fight.

At this time, it coincided with the chaos within the Wei clan, so without encountering any resistance, the Zhao army lightly took the counties in the upper reaches of Fenshui and sent people to Pingyang to send food, but did not act rashly, but prepared to make a detour to the south after settling these counties.

Although the initiative was completely in his hands, Zhao Wuxian didn't want to push the Han clan too much, no matter how you looked at it, they were allies who were too reliable than the Wei clan.

"Now it's up to Wei Ju to react...... "Zhao Wuxian climbed the ruins of his hometown of Zhaocheng, and in the coming year, he plans to build a new city here, or call it Zhaocheng, so that the people of this area can once again think that they are Zhao people, not Wei people.

"In this way, from Taiyuan, the eldest son slowly advanced to the hinterland of Hedong, if the Wei clan rebelled, the army would drive straight in, if the Wei clan did not react, it would be slowly eaten away by me, where there was a famine, our relief would reach where, the good news is that there are hungry people in every county of the Wei clan."

The bad news is that the Wei clan can let out the counties of Fenshui, but can no longer retreat, the Zhao clan has approached Xinjiang, the old Jiang, if you retreat, the benefits of the Wei clan in the civil war will be gone......

In mid-November, when the first snow fell, the first bloody clash broke out in Huangfu City, at the junction of Zhao and Wei!

The eldest son of the Zhao family entered Hedong to "relieve the disaster", because Huang's father Wei army closed the door, so it blatantly broke the city, and the Wei family was defeated, with heavy casualties......

At this point, the gate of Jiangdi was opened to the Zhao family.

……

"Does the Zhao family have an explanation for what happened to Huang's father?"

"Zhao Shangqing said it was a misunderstanding."

"What misunderstanding allowed the Zhao army to attack Wei's city, resulting in nearly a hundred dead and wounded, and inciting the people to rebel against their lord?" After losing the territory of Lu Cheng, Lu Xing began to become irritable.

Wei Ju still did not return to Hedong and remained in Shaoliang, but unlike before, the situation in Hedong became more and more bad, and the Qin people's offensive in Hexi became increasingly fierce.

In this case, the relationship between Zhao and Wei fell to the freezing point due to the bloodshed of Huang's father, although Zhao's envoy here still smiled, saying that Zhao just wanted to help Wei share the pressure, but in the eyes of Lu Xing and others, this was already a sign of Zhao's direct declaration of war on Wei.

"In the name of disaster relief, Zhao Wuxian is encroaching on the Wei family!"

Wei Ju is still worried, confronting the Zhao clan, this is a fool's dream, but unless, they are willing to lose their strength and soul, a non-acting Qing clan that allows people to eat and drink, otherwise they can no longer sit still!

He should return to Hedong, organize, and let the Zhao clan stop their advance. Or go to Zhao Wuxian in person, ask him for help, and admit that Zhao has turned Wei's territory into a county, so that Zhao Wuxian will continue to support Wei's rule in Hexi. But Wei Ju found that he could not move at this time, because the enemy in the west had also arrived.

On the first day when the Qin people arrived at the city of Shaoliang, they sent warriors to the division and shot an arrow at the head of the city.

"Peace talks, now?" Wei Ju was already desperate when he was attacked by the enemy, especially since he had taken advantage of the Qin State to fight against the Qin people before, and he felt that the Qin people would not forgive him, but who expected that the chief of the Qin State said that he was willing to talk, and Wei Ju was ecstatic for a while.

"Maybe it's a fraud?" Lu Xing was a little unconvinced.

"If it is the Qin people's own will, I don't believe it." Wei Ju shook off the letter and said to everyone: "But Chen Heng of Qi is also here, and he is willing to mediate for Qin Wei." (To be continued.) )
