Chapter 408: Wind Dye Debates Again
Author: Skyrim Drive
Feng Dye didn't make a sound for a long time, and he didn't tear off his gray hair. For he has heard that if you tear off one gray hair, ten gray hairs will grow. only combed He Yue's hair, let He Yue wear it, and when his hair was dry, he would comb his bun again.
Seeing that Feng Ran was not very happy, He Yue coaxed Feng Ran: "It's just a white hair, it grows on my head, not on your head." ”
Growing on his head, the wind dye will not feel sad. Originally, according to Xuanwu Zhenren's estimate, he lived no more than thirty years and died of old age. Now he is thirty-one years old, he still has a fairly young appearance, and his body functions feel normal in all aspects, and he does not have premature symptoms of premature aging, Feng Ran only feels that every day he lives now is given to him by He Yue, but in order to support him, He Yue has aged himself, and he is only thirty-six years old, and he has gray hair, how can he not make Feng Ran feel sad?
He Yue coaxed again: "You see, some people's gray hair grows early, and some people grow late, not necessarily old." Maybe I'm the one who grew gray hair early, don't think so much, we're still young, we still have a lot to do, and we have many, many years to live. ”
Feng Ran is not the person who likes to be sad and sad in the spring and autumn, and has delicate feelings, suddenly saw the white hair, and his heart was sad for a while, and he was persuaded by He Yue, so he let go. Combing He Yue's hair, he pulled He Yue up, put on the coat of a child's robe for He Yue, and said, "Go for a walk in the courtyard outside." ”
Feng Yue and the two of them walked slowly in the courtyard outside Jinghua Palace, talking and walking, Feng Ran copied his hands, walked behind He Yue, and said: "In the past three years, I'm fine, just watching you work hard every day, I'm really afraid that you will get sick from exhaustion...... Actually, I think that there is another advantage of our practice of this skill, that is, it allows you to leave aside political affairs and state affairs, throw away the endless stacks of twists and turns, and recuperate with me in peace for four days. ”
He Yue suddenly stopped and turned back and said, "What are you still saying! In the past three years, you have used the excuse of a truce to recuperate and recuperate, and stop the battle situation at a moment when you can't go up or down...... When will this battle be over?Or are you going to let the Fengmeng Continent maintain this pattern forever?"
In the first year of the truce, the courtiers did not say anything, expressing their support for recuperation.
In the second year of the truce, some of the more radical ministers began to question why they didn't hurry up and expel the Foggy Black Barbarians from the Fengmeng Continent? Why didn't they start a war against the Bandits? Among them, the Prince of Rongguo and the Emperor of Haoguo were the most anxious, their land had in fact been recovered by the Feng Kingdom, but He Yue used the excuse that he had to expel the Foggy Black Barbarians in order to return the land to them and let them return to the country. Day by day, they watched Fengguo set up county capitals and counties on their own land, and sent capable officials to govern in an orderly manner, only to feel that the people's lives were thriving, and the people who should have been the subjects of Rongguo Haoguo were grateful to Dade for the Fengguo that directly rescued them from the double oppression of Bandit Jia Wuhei, and the people's hearts became more and more inclined to Feng Guo, and they forgot that they still had the prince and the emperor in their own country! When will we be able to quell the bandits and expel the foggy black?
In the third year of the truce, as the national strength of the Feng State increased step by step, the population increased, the taxes increased, the grain revenue increased, the treasury increased, and the materials were abundant, and the calls of the court for war against the bandits were higher and higher. In particular, the two kings of Dehui County and Kaiji Domain, who went to the court several times, generously stated that they should go on a northern expedition as soon as possible, and that the foggy black barbarians should not be allowed to forcibly implement bloodline fusion in the north.
The king of Na Dehui County was the prince of Yongchang State, and the king of Kaiji was the emperor of Fenghe State, according to which they have been merged into Feng State, and they are Qing noble princes who have no real power. However, after all, they were the masters of a country, and they had an old affection for the land that once belonged to them, and they looked at the three kingdoms of Fengmeng West Road, which were recovered by the Feng Kingdom, and gradually recovered from the ruins of the war under the governance of the Feng Kingdom. They couldn't hold the territory of their home country and were forced to merge into the Feng Kingdom, but they still hoped that their former subjects could live well, instead of being bullied and oppressed by barbarians from other continents without dignity. Besides, their own royal fiefdom is still in the north, and in their former homeland, it is also the last consolation after they are merged.
Feng Ran naturally knew the attitude of the courtiers towards the war, and they all felt that the war could not continue to drag on, and if it was to be fought, it would be a war as soon as possible, and if it was not fought, it would sign an entente with the north, and then it would be disarmed. More than 2 million soldiers are a heavy burden on any country. Hearing He Yue say this, she smiled and said, "You can't hold your breath anymore?"
He Yue just smiled "hey".
Feng Ran said lightly: "Come on." In that big battle three years ago, we regained the Western Road in one fell swoop, and there are probably many adults who blame me for not taking advantage of the victory to pursue and regain the entire continent. ”
At that time, many ministers were looking forward to the pursuit of Feng Ran, but Feng Ran announced a truce to raise troops after holding the West Road, and it was true that many ministers had participated in the impeachment of Feng Ran and delayed the war, and even He Yue did not know Feng Ran's motives, but he firmly supported Feng Ran, and suppressed the criticism of the ministers on the grounds that Feng Ran presided over the overall situation of the war: "You raise soldiers, how long do you want to raise them?"
"Raising soldiers is an excuse to give you time, people, and country. Feng Ran said: "Three years ago, our strength was not as good as that of Kuang Jia. ”
"The strength is not as good as Bandit Jia, you didn't raise it three years ago, you won the battle, and suddenly stopped in the middle to raise soldiers. "Isn't it strange? Mo said that the ministers couldn't figure it out, and He Yue couldn't figure it out either.
Feng Ran took out two towels, spread them on the wooden porch under the flower corridor, sat down himself, and beckoned He Yue to sit down: "It's not cold yet, it's not cold to sit, sit here and look at the flowers for a while." He Yue went over and sat down next to Feng Ran, Feng Yue looked at the chrysanthemums blooming on the flower gallery side by side, it was rare to get rid of government affairs, and felt comfortable and relaxed.
He Yue had a rare opportunity to dislike the wind dye, and said: "You don't know the wonder of appreciating flowers, and you still have to sit here and watch the flowers." ”
"You know, you can enjoy the flowers, I'll accompany you...... Don't say that enjoying the flowers with me is playing the piano to the cow...... I don't talk nonsense anymore. ”
He Yue looked at the chrysanthemums under the corridor not far away, and after a while, she said, "You don't know how to appreciate the flowers, so let's talk about the war, otherwise you will be depressed." I just asked you, why didn't you raise soldiers three years ago?"
"The battle three years ago must be fought, and we must fight it with all our might, otherwise our Feng Kingdom will not have a chance, no matter how much we raise troops to support the country, it will be impossible to finally defeat Wuhei. ”
"Why?"
"Three years ago, my Fengguo Bureau was in the middle of the road, the land was limited, the population was limited, the materials were limited, and it was besieged and blocked by the bandits. In comparison, the bandit Jia occupies the eastern road, the western road, the northern part of the middle road, and their territory is about eight times the size of our Feng Kingdom, right?"
"Almost. ”
"Our territory is too small, no matter how much we recuperate, we can't support others. As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and no matter how fat and strong a cat is, it can't kill a sick tiger. The cat can escape into a small cave, and use the narrow cave to block the tiger's attack, and survive for a long time......"
He Yue interjected: "That's how you describe our Feng Kingdom?"
"Isn't that right?"
At that time, Fengmeng's situation was like this, and He Yue had to stop talking.
Kazeran continued, "...... No matter how fat the cat is, if he wants to counterattack from the cave and fight the tiger head-on, he is asking for his own death. ”
"Didn't you counterattack at that time?"
"That Yaoqian is a poor soldier again, a dog who doesn't understand civil governance, there are still people under him, and there is a foggy black dynasty behind him, as long as he survives the famine and plague, he will be relieved in a few years, if there is no war, Bandit Jia will still gradually recover, and then be fused by the fog black barbarians, and the Fengmeng continent will be occupied by the fusion of the fog black barbarians step by step. At that time, Kuang Jia had just experienced three years of famine and plague, and it was the weakest time for Kuang Jia Wuhei, and that battle had to be fought, and he had to fight it desperately. First of all, we can see if we can seal the throat with a sword, and secondly, we can't seal the throat with a sword, take a step back, we must seize the west road, and the west road is the vitality of our Feng country to break through the difficulties and win. ”
Regarding the statement that the West Road is the vitality of Fengguo to break through the difficulties and win, He Yue quickly understood: "Not bad. The importance of the West Road to my Feng Kingdom, you thought about it so early. After seizing the West Road, our territory has increased greatly, just like we raised a fat cat into a leopard, and we are big enough to fight the sick tiger of Kuangjia. ”
Feng Ran said again: "Well, that's the reason. The western road also experienced three years of famine and pestilence, and I made a truce to fatten the leopards. Back then, in the battle to defend the West Road, I really did my best. If I hadn't laid down a phoenix army in the Shooting Phoenix Fort in advance, I would have stabbed them at a critical time, causing them to have to return to the army to rescue, so they had to withdraw some men and horses. Otherwise, it's hard to say whether you can hold the west road. ”
He Yue said: "The battle of guarding the West Road was very imposing, and the adults in the court praised that battle well. ”
Feng Ran sighed lightly: "Those civil officials don't understand...... The momentum is empty, and it is piled up with human lives...... We must hold on, we must play with momentum, we can't retreat a single step, and if we retreat, the Feng Kingdom will be defeated. "That battle was also the most tragic battle commanded in Fengzhi's iron-blooded career. Feng Ran stood up, walked to the nearest chrysanthemum, picked it, gently twisted the flower buds with his fingers, raised his hand, tilted his palm slightly, and the petals scattered in the palm of his hand flew down one by one, floating away with the wind, Feng Ran said: "In that battle, I saw many brothers die in front of my eyes. ”
