Chapter 42: History Continues (8)

However, he said that the Bingzhou army won the first battle this time, which can be said to be a good omen, and Ding Yuan was quite satisfied with this. Then everyone gathered in the tent, but saw him and said with a happy face: "Today on the battlefield, it is really thanks to Zhang Liao's timely action that I was spared; I heard that Fengxian was excellent in martial arts, and he had the courage of ten thousand people, but when I saw it today, it was true; I can't imagine that you are a civil and military all-rounder, and with you by my side, I can rest assured in everything. ”

Feng Xian couldn't help but reply: "Thanks to Ding Tingshi's attention so much, his subordinates will definitely live up to their high expectations." ”

Ding Yuan nodded and said, "Well, that's good; It's just that I saw that you could have killed the king of Tu in one fell swoop, but why did you deliberately let him go? ”

Feng Xian couldn't help but say: "Returning to the history of the assassination, it is only because King Tu Ge had some friendship with my Huo Village before, so his subordinates will stay a little longer and persuade him to go back and think about it and return to the court as soon as possible." ”

Ding Yuan said undeniably: "Hey, what kind of friendship is not friendship, anyone who disobeys and violates the above is a bandit, and he should be killed; How can you show mercy to your subordinates because of their private friendship? Feng Xian, can't you do it again next time? ”

Feng Xian couldn't help but groan slightly, and then responded: "No." ”

Originally, in Feng Xian's opinion, Su Bu should have thought about it and then led his people to surrender. However, things were unexpected by everyone, and Tu Ge people actually evacuated Zishi City overnight. In this regard, Ding Yuan couldn't help but be a little displeased, and somewhat blamed Feng Xian for his previous rash moves, and now letting Tu everyone flee is tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain. Feng Xian also sighed a little in his heart, maybe he was a little soft-hearted, but he thought that it was not wrong to do so. Since they don't want to surrender, let them go, so why bother too much.

After Xu Bu led his people to evacuate, he entered the territory of Xihe County, and then fled west to Lishi County into the territory of the Qiang people. Then they went all the way north to join the Xiongnu Zuo tribe stationed in Wuyuan County. However, the leader of the left tribe, Zuoxian King Yu Fuluo, was unwilling to contain them. Xu Bu had no choice but to lead his people to the east to defect to the right part of the Xiongnu stationed in Dingxiang (present-day Datong area), and the Right Xian King took them in.

Subsequently, Ding Yuan learned of this and reported it to the imperial court. Soon, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty issued an edict not to blame the past, and ordered the Xiongnu Shan Yu Luanti Qiangqu to send troops to Youzhou to assist Youzhou Mu Liu Yu to crusade against Zhang Ju, Zhang Chun and others who had rebelled before. Qiangqu asked Yu Fuluo to lead thousands of cavalry to Youzhou. Soon after this, the right tribe suddenly rebelled, united with the Tu tribes, a total of more than 100,000 troops, attacked the Qiangqu, and attacked it. Subsequently, the right tribe elected the king of Tu Ge Xubu as the Xiongnu Shan Yu, and the left tribe supported the Fuluo as the Shan Yu.

said that Nobita is now the father of three children. Just half a month ago, the female tiger gave birth to three cubs, two males and one female, and her little appearance looks like a kitten. I gave the female tiger the nickname Ah Hua because the color of her body is flower. Ah Hua, who has just given birth, is quite dangerous, and no one is allowed to take a step closer, not even me. So every time I feed it, I let Nobita take it over, and if you let someone feed it, you may be attacked by Ah Hua if you are not careful. However, now that the little ones have opened their eyes and can crawl at will, and the people who are more familiar and close to them come closer to feed, Ah Hua seems to be less resistant.

On this day, I was in the office reviewing the recent income and expenditure, but Feng Xian suddenly returned from Fucheng. The two of us sat down in the council chamber to talk, and I couldn't help but smile and say, "How can my brother have time to come back and see this big man?" ”

Feng Xian said: "I also came back because of important matters, and the state government's inventory has been in an emergency recently, so I want to transfer a sum of money from the village's inventory to fill the vacancy in the government treasury." ”

I wondered: "Didn't Zhang Yi make a lot of money when he was in office before, how can he have tens of millions of money, how can the state capital be short of money?" ”

Feng Xian couldn't help but smile helplessly and shook his head and said: "Don't mention it, I don't know how much that guy embezzled from the treasury, a few days ago I just took office and checked the books, and found that there was only hundreds of thousands of dollars in stock; Just this amount of money, not to mention the needs of the people, it is not enough to even plug the gaps between the teeth. ”

I couldn't help but say: "That's right, this money is not even enough for the people of the county to eat, what about Zhang Yi's private inventory?" ”

Feng Xian sighed and said, "All of them were plundered by the Tu people, and almost nothing was left behind." ”

I couldn't help but shake my head, sighed, and said, "Okay, but this can only be regarded as a loan to the state capital, and I have to pay it back when I have money in the future?" ”

Feng Xian said: "Brother Xian, don't worry, Brother Wei has already sent Li Su to take people to dig the gold mine we dug last time, and this time I came to borrow money just to meet the urgent needs, and I will return it to the village as soon as I have money." ”

I nodded and said, "Okay, anyway, there are a lot of minerals in the state, so I'm not afraid that you will be poor." ”

When Feng Xian heard me say this, he couldn't help asking, "What does the virtuous brother mean, are there other gold mines in this state?" ”

I smiled and said, "Of course, but I won't say it, if you want gold, you have to find it yourself." ”

Feng Xian couldn't help but say: "Oh, Brother Xian, can you not be so strict in your tone, and reveal a few more things to your brother, and thank you for the people in the state." ”

I couldn't help but smile and shook my head, and said, "You're an official, okay, I'll tell you another vein; There is also a gold mine under the rule of Dingxiang County in the north of the state, and the reserves are not small, as for whether you can find it, it depends on your own ability. ”

Feng Xian nodded and said, "Well, I see. ”

Subsequently, I withdrew 10,000,000 yuan from the treasury to Fengxian, which was converted into 1,000 taels of gold. In this regard, Feng Xian couldn't help but sigh and said: "Alas, a small village is hundreds of times more than a state's inventory, I have to say that you are really good at making money." ”

I couldn't help but smile and say, "Hey, what kind of ability is this little money; Well, I hope that my brother can use these funds to turn around the current dilemma, so that the people can live a stable life as soon as possible. ”

Feng Xian smiled: "Brother Xian, but don't worry, as long as I can have enough resources, I will definitely be able to turn the tide." ”

Immediately, Feng Xian went back. Moreover, after he returned, he reported the matter of another gold mine to Ding Yuan, and suggested that Ding Yuan send an envoy to negotiate with the Huns occupying Dingxiang and persuade them to surrender, and then he could send troops to station.

Regarding this matter, Ding Yuan felt that it was not necessary, just because the Huns rebelled again and again, which was so unteachable, it really damaged the power of the Han Dynasty, and he should send troops to exterminate them all, in order to achieve peace in the future.

However, Feng Xian did not agree to send troops at this time, as the state's inventory was empty and insufficient to support military spending; Second, the Huns were numerous and difficult to exterminate for a while; Third, there are rebellions in the west and north of the country that have not yet been quelled, and any more reckless rebellion will only increase the burden on the people. Therefore, negotiating with the other party is the best move at this time.

In this regard, Ding Yuan did not care, and said that he could first use the money borrowed from Huo Village to advance military expenses, and when the rebels were wiped out, he could dig up gold to fill the inventory. Feng Xian still wanted to persuade again, but Ding Yuan insisted on sending troops, although Feng Xian felt helpless, he had to obey his orders. The days that could have been settled down are now not peaceful.
