Wei.

Taishi Bureau.

The prime minister's uncle Wei walked in in a hurry, and before he saw him, he heard his voice first.

"Woe to you!"

Wen Renxu was sitting at the chessboard, playing against himself.

Tai Shuwei walked in and grabbed his hand.

"You still have the heart to play chess, I'm afraid that David will face a catastrophe!"

Wen Renxu stared at the chessboard in front of him and said slowly.

"The drought in the Western Zhou Dynasty has appeared, and the price of grain has doubled, or even multiplied.

The state of Chu has cut off the mutual market with my David, and no one has to buy the saro anymore, and not a single grain of grain can enter the guard. ”

"Looks like you know it all."

A twist slipped from Tai Shuwei's hand, and he sat down dejectedly opposite Wen Renxu.

"And what you don't know, the Honghe River burst its banks, and the floods affected the three states of Fengzhou, Yunzhou, and Yanzhou.

Millions of people are waiting for relief food.

The army of Chu has gathered, intending to invade our border.

There was a shortage of grain and grass in the east, so he asked the imperial court to allocate grain.

The Western Zhou Dynasty was too busy to take care of itself and banned the grain market. ”

Wen Renxu was stunned for a moment, and then pushed away Tai Shuwei's hand.

"What a big dragon to slaughter!"

Tai Shuwei turned his head to look at the chessboard, and the white whale swallowed the forty-six sons of the sunspot and the hundred-eyed dragon.

Wen Renxu picked up the sunspots on the chessboard one by one and put them into the chess box.

Through the news sent back by the secret agent, he already knew where the point he had been unable to figure out was - Tianshi.

There was a great drought in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and there was no rain for several months, and the disaster almost affected most of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

People can't eat enough, will they still sell food?

Even if he wanted to sell, there was no grain to sell.

Now he finally knows why Li Yunsheng stocked up on grain in advance, this is simply an unpredictable prophet.

It's a pity that it's too late to know about this now.

It should be said that it was already too late from the beginning.

Uncle Tai Wei was in a hurry and overturned the chessboard.

"It's all burning eyebrows, you still have the heart to play chess!"

Ahem –

Hearing the loud cough, his face turned red.

Tai Shuwei's tone weakened a little, and he hurriedly stepped forward and gently patted Wen Renxu's back.

"Blame me, I just got a little louder.

But I—I'm really in a hurry. ”

In this day, receiving so much bad news, can he not be in a hurry.

After a while, Wen Renxu eased up slightly, and he looked up at Taishuwei in front of him.

"When Wei and Chu exchanged markets, I said that Li Yunsheng must be harboring evil intentions.

When the state of Chu was hoarding grain, I also met with Your Majesty, and Your Majesty said that everything was under control.

Now that the layout is over, what's the use of you coming to me? ”

"Who could have known that there would be such a large-scale drought in the Western Zhou Dynasty."

"Li Yunsheng knows."

Hearing the ridicule, his tone was indifferent, but he made Uncle Taiwei have no temper.

"Then we can't sit still, can we?"

"Alas......" Wen Renxu sighed and got up and said, "Let's go, you and I will go to see Your Majesty." ”

"Eh, eh!" Tai Shuwei hurriedly grabbed him, "What did you say when you saw Your Majesty?" ”

This matter is too big, he just didn't come up with a way to deal with it, so he hurriedly came to discuss with this sick man.

When His Majesty asked, he couldn't be helpless.

Wen Renxu put on his shoes and straightened his robe.

"There is only one solution to this matter."

Tai Shuwei immediately came to the spirit.

"Reconciliation?"

"Before you run out of food in the east, break through the border of Chu."

After speaking, Wen Renxu went straight out.

This is indeed the only solution at the moment, Tai Shuwei reacted and immediately followed.

Palace.

The eunuch bowed down to report.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Taishu Wei and Taishi Ling Wen asked for an audience."

Wei Wenyu beckoned.

"Let them in."

"Yes."

Not long after, Tai Shuwei and Wen Renxu walked into the hall together.

"Uncle Chen, see Your Majesty."

"The ministers have heard the criticism, see Your Majesty."

Wei Wenyu raised his hand.

"What is the matter with the two Aiqing entering the palace together?"

The price of grain in the Western Zhou Dynasty skyrocketed, and the state of Chu cut off the mutual market, and he has been under great pressure recently.

What to join forces with the Western Zhou Dynasty and jointly attack the Chu State, now you don't have to think about it.

Just thinking about how to increase the revenue of the treasury, the two right-hand men entered the palace together.

Tai Shuwei handed over a recital.

"The army of Chu has gathered, intending to invade our border.

There was a shortage of grain and grass in the east, so he asked the imperial court to allocate grain. ”

"How much grain does Jingshi still have?"

"Three and a half million stones."

Food is a big problem at the moment, so how much surplus food there is, Tai Shuwei couldn't be clearer.

Wei Wenyu thought for a moment.

"Then allocate two million stones to the East Realm first."

Things have come to this point, and he also knows that he has underestimated the two juniors of Chu State.

One is the empress of the Chu State, and the other is the Zaifu of the Chu State, and the two of them are not as old as themselves combined.

As a result, it brought such a big predicament to David.

Tai Shuwei hesitated for a moment and continued.

"Your Majesty, the Honghe River burst its banks, and the flood affected the three states of Fengzhou, Yunzhou, and Yanzhou.

The history of the Sanzhou assassination was played, and the court was asked for disaster relief. ”

Wei Wenyu sighed in his heart, the house leak happened to rain overnight.

He opened the recital, a little embarrassed.

The intentions of the Chu State are already obvious, and the grain and grass in the eastern border must not be delayed.

The people of Sanzhou are in dire straits, and they can't help but save them.

Jingshi has 150,000 stones left, and he can't take them all to disaster relief, otherwise he will starve.

But if the disaster relief food is less, it will be a drop in the bucket for the three states

"Then first allocate 1 million and 50 stones to the eastern border, and 100 stones to the three states for disaster relief."

At this time, Wen Renxu stood up.

"Your Majesty, the land of the three states cannot provide disaster relief."

The two looked at Wen Renxu at the same time, and Wei Wenyu spoke.

"Why can't we provide disaster relief?"

"Back to Your Majesty, in the short period of time in the Western Zhou Dynasty, there is no hope for it.

The intention of the Chu State is obvious, and if you want to solve my David crisis right now, you can only fight! ”

Before entering the palace, Tai Shuwei already knew Wen Renxu's idea, that is, to fight with the Chu State.

When you enter the territory of Chu State, you can nourish the war with war.

At that time, David may have the qualifications to negotiate with the Chu State.

However, I didn't say just now that I don't care about the people of Sanzhou.

"What about the people of the three states?"

Wen Renxu turned his head to look at Tai Shuwei and said bluntly.

"100,000 soldiers are fighting at the border, and who knows if they will be able to come back in a few months."

"That can't leave the life and death of millions of people alone, there are families of soldiers here."

Tai Shuwei's words did not make Wen Renxu change his mind.

"If two people were to starve to death at the same time, and one of the victims were to starve, the place would still belong to David.

If all the soldiers starve to death—"

Speaking of this, Wen Renxu faced Wei Wenyu and knelt on the ground.

"I, David, will perish."

Tai Shuwei opened his mouth, for the sake of the people of Sanzhou.

"Your Majesty, give the minister two months, and the minister will definitely be able to take Jiannan Dao!"

Without waiting for Wei Wenyu to speak, the person on the ground asked rhetorically.

"What if you can't take it?"

"Me!" Taishuwei knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to make a military order!" ”

"This battle is about my David's national fortune!"

Hearing the ridicule, his tone was a little angry.

"Don't talk about your Taishuwei's head, even if the heads of the two of us are combined, we can't guarantee it!"

"Your Majesty!"

Wei Wenyu interrupted Uncle Taiwei.

"Okay, I have made up my mind, and I will use the strength of the whole country to defeat Chu!"
