Chapter 1172 Emperor Wu's Northern Tour II

In the first year of the Warring States Period, it was still the fifth year of the First Peace, and the world was still the Han Dynasty, and Soochow was already preparing to open a national dynasty.

Of course, at that time, there were not a few people who wanted to open a national dynasty.

If you want to become orthodox in the world, in addition to the bloodline of the Han family, there is only one, and that is the long-inherited jade seal.

At that time, the jade seal was in the hands of Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu became the target of public criticism.

The soldiers and horses sent by Lu Bu, Cao Cao, and Liu Biao all entered Jiujiang County, and Jiangdong was naturally no exception.

In order to seize the heirloom jade seal in Yuan Shu's hand, Sun Quan did not hesitate to send troops to Shouchun.

In that battle, one in and one out, although Sun Quan finally destroyed Yuan Shu with his own hands, he was surrounded by Zhang Liao, Xiahou Yuan, Liu Bei and other soldiers and horses, and Zhao Yun did not hesitate to enter the danger again after escaping, and killed an earth-shaking one.

It's a pity that in the end, they were still invincible with two fists and four hands, and they were surrounded and killed by an army of 100,000.

Eventually, they fled to Huifeng Ridge.

At that time, Sun Quan's high fever did not go away, and he was dying, Zhao Yun was also seriously injured because of the fierce battle, and the white horse Yicong under his command suffered heavy casualties, and the remaining Jiangdong cavalry were all wounded, and the grain and grass were about to run out, facing a desperate situation.

And there were 100,000 enemy troops at the foot of the mountain.

If it weren't for Zhou Tai's timely reinforcements, they would have almost been planted here.

They were all going to die here by then.

Who would have thought that ten years later, Sun Quan is no longer the little son of power, he has ascended to the supreme Emperor of Eastern Wu, and now he is about to dominate the world and become the first overlord of Eastern Wu.

And Zhao Zilong, who was still unknown at that time, also became the second military general in the world and became famous all over the world.

"Zilong, when you put on armor for me here, do you regret it for so many years?"

Sun Quan stood on top of the hill, with his hands behind his back, facing the rays of the sunset that was about to set, and there was a touch of nostalgia in his eyes.

It's not that it's too long.

After entering Shouchun City, he never forgot to return to Fengling, and he couldn't forget the desperate situation he faced in the first war, and compared with his current infinite scenery.

This fate made him sigh a little.

"Nope!"

Zhao Yun stood next to Sun Quan, and his handsome face showed a foolish smile: "Zhao Zilong has to meet Your Majesty, it is a blessing in this life!" ”

He has fought for Dawu for many years, and has never regretted half a point, and he has always been very glad that when he was in Liaodong, Sun Quan was able to use 5,000 stone grain and grass to get him from Gongsun Zhan.

Otherwise, he can't imagine his own life.

Follow Gongsun Chan depressed?

Or follow Liu Bei to drift away?

"Haha, I can get Zilong's help, and it is also my Sun Zhongmou's honor!"

A bright smile appeared on Sun Quan's face.

A ray of remnant sun light on the horizon was vividly reflected on the hill, stretching the shadow between the pair of monarchs and ministers long.

When it was dark, they directly set up a tent on the hill, lit a bonfire, and this night Sun Quan looked at the grass and trees on the mountain, all nostalgic for the past, and returned to Shouchun City the next day.

"Your Majesty, the eight hundred miles sent by Jinling City are urgent!" Xu Shu is the long history of Sun Quan's patrol in charge of government affairs this time.

After Sun Quan washed his face, he opened the secret letter, which was a military secret letter from the Northern Theater of Operations: "The west has just started fighting, and the north is already insufficient, Huang Zhong has sent troops to Yanmen!" ”

"Capture the Goose Gate?" Xu Shu squinted slightly.

"Capturing Yanmen is just a purpose, they want to eat the 30,000 elites stationed in Ma Chao of Yanmen County!" Sun Quan's eyes were deep, his eyes were deep, and his thoughts turned: "Ma Mengqi is not easy to deal with, I hope they can be cautious, if they are countered to the army, it will affect the next battle to encircle Guanzhong!" ”

"They dare to make a move at this sensitive juncture, there is no eighty percent, and there should be sixty percent certainty!"

"Hard to say!" Sun Quan smiled bitterly: "Don't you think Pang Tong's style is a bit off-track?" ”

"Your Majesty means ...... Pang Tong used a risky move again this time? ”

"No danger, no leaving, this is Pang Shiyuan's consistent style!" Sun Quan has a deep understanding of the personalities of several top military advisors under his command.

Li Nie is insidious and vicious.

Zhuge Liang is planning and then acting.

Zhou Yu is a little flamboyant.

Chen Gong is resourceful and decisive.

Xu Shu sometimes thinks too much, but messes up his thinking.

As for Pang Tong, he hopes that the sword will go sideways, and taking risks to attack is his strength.

"Isn't there still Commander Huang Zhong?" Xu Shu said: "He is more stable! ”

"Hopefully!"

Sun Quan put down this military secret letter, and didn't worry too much, since it was handed over to them, he had to believe that they could do it, and even if he lost in the end, he would admit it.

In the next few days, Jiujiang County Shou Yan Jian took Sun Quan and began to inspect the situation in Shouchun City and Jiujiang County openly and secretly.

The time for Jiujiang County to return to Soochow is not short, and the development of these years is not bad in terms of order or economy.

At least Sun Quan was satisfied.

On the third day, under the attention of the people of the city, Sun Quan's honor guard swaggered away from Shouchun City and continued his journey to the north, and his second stop was naturally Runan County.

Runan County was the hardest-hit county in Yuzhou last year because of a deliberate flood by Guo Fengxiao.

This large county, which was once home to millions of people, felt a bit dead when I walked in.

From the beginning of his entry into Runan, Sun Quan was in a rather miserable situation, full of displaced people, patches of abandoned farmland, and wooden sheds that leaked everywhere between the roads and fields......

These scenes are more or less actually a little irritating to Sun Quan's sensitive nerves.

"It's shocking!"

Sun Quan hadn't seen this in years.

Since he ascended to the throne, no, it should have been since Wu Guoguo, in fact, he has been trying to change the lives of the people in this era, hoping to live in a stable place and look like an old age.

If you don't want to be well-off, you must at least have a level of food and clothing.

The land of Jiangdong has been thriving over the years, and he has always thought that he has done a good job in his heart, but now it seems that he has not done enough, and it is too far behind.

"Gu Yong, Xu Shu, you all come and see, I remember, I gritted my teeth and allocated the money for disaster relief, but you see, where the disaster relief ended up, if I don't come to see it in person, how long do the people below plan to hide it from me?"

On this day, Sun Quan's northern patrol stopped on a hillside in Xincai County.

Sun Quan looked down from the hillside, on that small plain, there were rows of wooden grass huts, hundreds of old and young women and children like refugees were crowded in these grass huts, and the miserable life made his expression a little cold.

"Your Majesty, the flood deliberately deliberated by the Wei army back then was so fierce that it had almost subverted the entire Runan, and the affected people were more than one million, and it was ......" Xu Shu stood behind Sun Quan, he was not comfortable watching this scene, but he knew that it was not that someone was greedy for this disaster relief money, but that it was really unstable, he thought of some reasons, and some wanted to say nothing.

"And when the imperial court sent people down for disaster relief, the cabinet was more concerned about the soldiers of the Central Army who suffered heavy casualties, so a lot of the funds were allocated by the Central Army, and for these victims after the flood, they could only maintain food and clothing, and they would not die of hunger!"

Zhao Yun was expressionless and added Xu Shu's later words.

He had personally experienced this flood back then, so he naturally knew the situation here very well.

"Nonsense, the cabinet is the cabinet, and the military aircraft department is the military aircraft department, when did the two get mixed up!"

Sun Quan frowned.

When did the money for disaster relief go into line with military spending?

"Your Majesty, the situation at that time was different, the soldiers who were flooded by the flood were inseparable from ordinary refugees at all, and in the eyes of many officials in Dawu, the soldiers of the Central Army were much more important than these millions of refugees who were originally against us, so they turned a blind eye!"

Gu Yong smiled bitterly.

Sun Quan went north this time, and there were a large number of officials in the honor guard, including historians, household officials, and officials from the Imperial Historical Observatory, and of course, the most important thing was that he, the official department, also accompanied the northern tour.

As long as the purpose is to assess the situation of the officials in the four prefectures who have just entered the banner of the Great Wu Territory.

Although the Governor's Mansion of the Four Prefectures was led by generals, many of them were officials appointed by the original Wei Dynasty.

In this regard, the officials naturally took this opportunity to conduct a personal assessment.

"It's my fault!"

Sun Quan calmed down, and knew that the cabinet was not to blame for this matter, he sighed and looked at the refugees in front of him apologetically: "I'm going to meet them!" ”

"Your Majesty!" The congregation will follow.

"Don't follow me!"

Sun Quan snorted coldly, then left the hill straight, walked towards the plain in front of him, and walked into several refugee piles, he looked at these refugees with messy clothes and yellow faces, and there seemed to be a feeling of twisting in his heart.

In his position, he has to bear this responsibility.

He is the emperor of the Great Wu Dynasty, these are his people, and he Sun Zhongmou is responsible.

"Fellow, I'm going to Pingyu, is this the way I go?" Sun Quan took the initiative to come up.

"Just go ahead along the official road!"

Several old men sitting on the manhole cover looked at Sun Quan and nodded.

"Fellow, I see that there are hundreds of you people, the population is quite large, and the grass hut with so many people crowded here can you survive?" Sun Quan looked at an old man in cloth sitting on the head of the manhole cover and asked with a smile.

"In fact, these of us are all from the previous few submerged small villages, three Zhuangzi, nearly a thousand people, and now there are only a few hundred of us left, and there are no houses, and it is better to live here than to starve to death!"

The old man raised his head and looked at Sun Quan with some indifference.

"Does the government and county government care about you?"

"Tube?"

When the old man heard this, he smiled a little bitterly, and said: "The sins done by the Wei people, how to manage them, how much can the government manage, and now the government pays more attention to those powerful families, we little people, if we die, we will die, who cares!" ”

"I heard that the Emperor of Eastern Wu is going to tour the north, why don't you stop in front of the emperor? The government doesn't care whether you live or die, but Your Majesty can't care about it, you are all the people of Great Wu."

Sun Quan had a murderous intent in his heart.

"Easy to say!"

The old man said bitterly: "But who is not afraid of death, if the alarmed holy car, all our heads are not enough to cut off, after saying that, we are all Wei people before, Your Majesty does not kill us, but also supports us with a lot of food, it is already good, now the life is a little bitter, but can still live, it is already the grace of the Wu Dynasty!" ”

"The Wu Dynasty treats everyone equally, and in the territory of Great Wu, is there still a distinction between Wu and Wei?" Sun Quan was not afraid of getting dirty, sat on the hand, looked at a few people, and asked with a smile.

"Absolutely!"

The old man glanced at Sun Quan obliquely, a little strange why this young passer-by asked so much, but he was idle, so he continued, "Those foreign Wu people somewhat look down on us Wei people!" ”

"Alien Wu people?"

"In the past few months, many Wu people have gone north, and our land in Runan is fertile, although many people have drowned in the flood, but a lot of fields have also been vacated!"

"I see!" Sun Quan understood, and some shrewd Jiangdong people or Jingzhou people felt that Runan, which was in ruins, was a treasure land, so they poured in.

This is a good result, but there is some conflict with the locals, and it depends on the adjustment between the officials.

Sun Quan talked with a few old men for most of the hour, and under the private interview of Weifu, he gained some gains and had an in-depth understanding of the life of the people in Runan today.

"What is the value of the fellow, these Da Wu silver dollars are a souvenir for you, I believe that Da Wu will let you live a good life!"

After Sun Quan took out a few big Wu silver dollars and gave them to a few fellow villagers, he left the row of houses made of this small grass hut.

……

The next day, the honor guard of the Northern Tour entered Pingyu City.

Pingyu Castle is considered to be a city that was affected by the disaster back then, and the traces of the city wall still have the gaps in the flood collapse, and the whole city is just talking about the new houses that can be seen.

The party set up camp in a clearing in the middle of the city.

"Pingyu County Order Tan Song took the officials of Pingyu County to meet Your Majesty!"

The county commander was a local, and he was a small official before, but later Runan entered the territory of Eastern Wu, and he was promoted, and he was ordered to preside over the overall situation.

"Flat!"

Sun Quan raised his head and swept his gaze over everyone, and said, "Tan County Order, all the way through, they are all refugees, and your county order is a little incompetent!" ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen is guilty!"

Tan Song trembled and knelt down.

"Don't talk to me about this, I just want to know, what's going on?"

Sun Quan squinted slightly, exuding this coldness all over his body: "If you can't say it clearly, let the Runan County Guard say, and if the Runan County Guard can't say it clearly, let the Governor of Yuzhou come to Hezhen in person, and if you can't say it clearly, I will give you a direct stroke!" ”

"Your Majesty, we have tried our best, but there are too many refugees, and the help is acceptable, and if we want to help them rebuild their homeland, we are really a little powerless!" Tan Song said.

"I'm going to stay in Pingyu City for a few days!"

Sun Quan said coldly: "You go and give me a word, let Runan County guard Yang Yi, and Yuzhou Governor Lu Fan come to see me!" ”

"No!"

Tan Song's eyes trembled a little, but he was calmed by Sun Quan's momentum, and hurriedly nodded and walked out. (To be continued.) )
