Baili Wuji felt bad in his heart, and hurriedly asked: "Lu Xiaocui, don't cry first, tell me quickly, what's wrong?" …… This king commands you to answer truthfully. ”

Baili Wuji gradually became impatient and asked loudly.

"Back to the king, little lady, she ...... She's gone. Lu Xiaocui was obviously a little scared, and replied with sobs.

"Gone? Where did it go? ”

The little lady didn't say anything, and Xiaocui didn't dare to ask ....... By the way, the little lady fetched a letter for the king. Lu Xiaocui took out a letter from her arms.

Baili Wuji hurriedly took it and opened it.

The letter was left by Lu Shiyun, "Ziqing, forgive Yun'er for saying goodbye without saying goodbye, leaving is Yun'er's deliberate decision, and it has nothing to do with others." can hear Ziqing personally say that she wants to marry Yun'er, Yun'er is very happy in her heart. Ziqing once said to Yun'er that she wanted to give the people of the world a stable life, and Yun'er went to wander the world, praying for Ziqing in the mountains and fields that this day would come as soon as possible. Yun'er has a skill, enough to take care of herself, Ziqing doesn't have to worry, and she doesn't have to come to Yun'er, Ziqing should know Yun'er's character, if she comes to look for it, Yun'er should let Ziqing never find it again. Leave Lu Xiaocui behind, and hope that Ziqing will take good care of her, Xiaocui and Xu Shouren are in love, and they are older, and they still hope that Ziqing will be ....... ”

At the back of the book, the handwriting is a little blurry and distorted, presumably when Lu Shiyun was writing, the tears that fell soaked the handwriting.

After reading it, Baili Wuji felt a sense of rage.

There is a kind of indignation that wants to kill people and see blood.

But what's the point?

"Someone, Zhao Yantao from the guard battalion of the Medical Department is here."

Soon, the guards came back and forth, and Zhao Yantao and the eight soldiers of the guard battalion disappeared.

Baili Wuji realized that this was premeditated.

I wanted to order them back, but when I thought of what Lu Shiyun said in the letter, I really didn't dare.

I'm afraid that I won't be able to find it again, and the thought of never being able to find it again makes Baili Wuji's heart twitch.

That's it, that's it, just let her be at ease in the people, and having Zhao Yantao and others to protect her also made Baili Wuji feel a lot more relieved.

So he ordered the pro-guards to secretly find Lu Shiyun's movements everywhere and report them at any time.

……。

At this time, a sudden natural disaster attracted all the energy of Baili Wuji and the officials of the Chu State.

May has just arrived.

This year, Wuyue, Fujian, Southern Tang, Jin and other countries, the spring has been dry until now, the locust plague has risen, the east starts from the open space by the sea, the west reaches Longshan, the south crosses the Yangtze River, the Huai River, the north as for Youzhou, Jizhou, the wilderness, the valley, the city outline, the house are all full, bamboo leaves, leaves are eaten up. In addition, the government looted the grain of the people, so that the punishment of the governor was severe and urgent, so that the mortar was closed and milled, leaving no rations, and some people committed crimes because of the concealment of grain. The county order is often due to the failure of the superintendent to urge him, and he returns the letter to impeach and abandon the official who escapes. Hundreds of thousands of people died of starvation, and the number of people fleeing from exile was incalculable.

Countries have come up with emergency relief, but they have no choice but to drop the bucket. Among them, there are even corrupt officials who take advantage of the fire to rob. Because of the serious famine in Hengzhou and Dingzhou, the court of the Jin Kingdom granted permission not to loot folk grain. Dewey said that the military rations were insufficient, and asked for it to be searched like the states, and the imperial court allowed it. Dewey used the strategy of the judge Wang Xu to check and demand almost all the demands, and obtained 1 million hundreds. Dewey only reported 300,000 yuan, and the rest was taken into his house; He also ordered the judge Li Nuan to borrow money from the people, and collected millions of hundreds, and sold them in the coming spring, and obtained two million yuan, and the whole territory suffered from it.

The people on the land were full of mourning, but only Chu and Shu were lucky enough to escape, and they were not involved in the locust plague.

For a time, millions of refugees flocked to Chu and Shu like a flood, and because Shu was far away, most of them flocked to Chu.

After the Chu Wangfu obtained Yue, Yuan, Jing, Dun, Chao and other states to report urgent documents.

Emergency Hearings.

After a day, there was nothing to be done.

The wave of refugees of this scale is not the immigration wave in Gyeongju, which can be resettled by relying on mines and workshops, and millions of refugees, one pound of rations per person, is millions of pounds a day, and they can eat the Chu State in a few months.

What's more serious is the public security, the influx of millions of refugees, not like the slowly growing population, but an influx, from all directions, all kinds of people are disorganized, if the locust plague is compared to a natural disaster, then these millions of refugees are man-made disasters for the Chu State.

You can't kill them, you can't turn them away.

In desperation, Baili Wuji could only change the original strategy.

Pointing to the map, he said to the five governors: "There is only one way, the Wu Dynasty, war, and immigration." ”

The five governors couldn't find any other way but to acquiesce.

As a result, the Chu Wangfu quickly issued a series of orders.

Liu Qing and Liu Yan were ordered to lead a ban army to set up checkpoints at all entrances to the eastern border of Chu State, and gather all the refugees who came to gather and escort them to Longzhou, Siming, Shixi, and Silingzhou, which were adjacent to the Wu Dynasty.

Ordered the governors of each state to transport the grain from the official warehouse to Longzhou, Siming, Shixi, and Siling to assemble.

The second, third, and fourth Black Flag armies were ordered to patrol on the three longitudinal official roads from Tanzhou to Leizhou, Tanzhou to Enzhou, and Tanzhou to Xingwangfu.

Pan Chongche, the commander of the Fifth Army, and Bai Likang, the commander of the Special Operations Army, rushed to the palace to discuss the military meeting.

Ordered Yang Shi of the Xingwangfu Shipyard to deliver the completed Hezhou to Peng Xiao's sailors, and sailed to Zhenzhou Port to standby.

……。

The fifth day of the fifth month of May.

The military meeting of the Chu Prince's Mansion.

The attendees were Baili Wuji, five governors and Pan Chongche and Bai Likang, a total of eight people.

Baili Wuji pointed to the sand table map of the Wu Dynasty and said: "This battle is hasty, the most important thing to pay attention to is fast, different from the previous battles, I believe the purpose of this operation is already clear to you, Chu needs land, needs land to settle refugees, millions of refugees." This is related to the survival of the Chu State, and if these refugees are not properly settled, the foundation of the Chu State will be shaken. ”

Baili Wuji glanced at everyone present, and seeing that no one answered, he continued: "This king wants to take the cavalry of the Baili Kang Special War Army as the vanguard and the infantry as the rear team, and take Luocheng directly through Shixi Prefecture by land. The Fifth Army under the command of Pan Chongche was assembled in Zhenzhou, transported by merchant ships to Hue and landed, and Hezhou Zai provided cover for it, cutting off the north-south passage of the Wu Dynasty, and if Wu Quan, the king of the Wu Dynasty, fled south, he would be attacked from the north and south. Do you understand? ”

"Your Ministers understand."

"Any objections?"

"Nope."

"Go, this king awaits the triumphant return of the two."

After the five governors left, Baili Wuji left the two commanders.

Baili Wuji's expression was unusually serious.

"The two of you heard what X was saying clearly, and what X wanted was a swift and complete occupation, at most two months, to create a stable situation for the resettlement of refugees. The state of Chu did not have time to govern slowly, and millions of refugees waited for news from the two generals. The Wu Dynasty is far away, and any unexpected thing can be handled cheaply. After occupying Jiaozhou, if there is something to do, he will go south to occupy Zhancheng, if nothing can be done, then Bailikang will return to Shitanzhou, and Pan Chongche will be stationed in Luocheng to standby. ”

"Yes."
