When Mi Huang left Guang Chengze, he saw Dai Yuan.

This person was sitting in the Suyu Palace, which had been repaired for a small time, playing against Cheng Shui.

Mi Huang didn't have much to talk about with him, only briefly talked about the construction of Guangcheng Garden, and left.

The grass and trees on the mountain are scorched and lifeless.

The soldiers had blood blisters on their hands and mouths, describing them as withered.

All this made Mi Huang sigh secretly.

But when he talked with the soldiers, he was shocked to find that these people didn't want to go home, and even planned to bring their families to Guang Chengze.

Asked again, it turned out that Runan, Ruyin, Liangguo, Chenliu and other places were also in a severe drought, with thousands of miles of red land, and someone had already passed the news of their hometown.

The servants are honest, but not fools.

The land in his hometown is about to smoke, but Guang Chengze still stubbornly retains part of the water source, which is a common fact.

There is a big drought this year, so there won't be a big drought next year? There is no drought, and there is a plague of locusts.

Therefore, according to the old legend, after the great drought, there will be locusts, how will we live next year?

They saw the relatively abundant water resources of Guangchengze, and saw the yellow and clear wheat in the fields of Guangchengze, and knew that people could live here, and only fools would leave.

When I left Guangchengze and embarked on the road back to the north, it was already dark.

Mi Huang sat in a carriage, and when he passed a market, he and his entourage got off the bus to eat.

At that moment, someone suddenly rode in from the north.

When they handed over the horses to the shopkeeper to take care of, they suddenly said, "The water has stopped." ”

Most of the diners passing by didn't react, but Mi Huang's face changed.

The entourage also looked at each other, and they all subconsciously looked in the direction of Guang Chengze.

"Buy some dry food, dig some well water, and go back to Luoyang overnight." Mi Huang got into the carriage and commanded.

"No." The attendants answered absentmindedly, and while buying water, they gestured to each other.

The prophecy has really come true!

There is no doubt that the vast majority of people think that the "protagonist" of the rumor is Shao Xun, the Duke of Luyang County, and a small number of people think that the person who should respond to the rumor is Wang Mi, because his title is too scary - Shizhong, Tejin, Governor of the Six Prefectures of the Military, General of Zhengdong, and Qingzhou Mu.

But no matter who it is, it is not a good thing for the Great Jin Emperor and Situ.

Will they take the plunge?

If that's the case, it's really messy.

When the carriage left, Mi Huang also sighed, lifted the curtain and looked in the direction of Guang Chengze.

In the vast fields, there are still countless tunding who are desperately trying to harvest wheat in the light of the moonlight.

It's a land full of life.

******

In Liuhua Courtyard, Shao Xun had just finished a meeting.

The drought is getting worse and worse, and it will definitely not be possible to grow food after the summer harvest.

He decided to wait until the fall, and whether the drought eases or not, he will plant a new crop of winter wheat.

In his impression, locusts are generally most abundant in the middle of summer, and it seems that the adult stage is there. In between, the locusts are not yet mature and not so mobile.

But he is not very sure, after all, the climate and latitude of Henan, Hebei, and Guanzhong are different, and the growth period of locusts is mostly inconsistent.

This is the most annoying.

Once you've dealt with the native locusts, you'll probably be greeted with the out-of-town locusts, slamming wave after wave until the summer passes.

After everyone dispersed, Shao Xun stayed in the Liuhua Courtyard with a big grin - they all called their subordinates over for a meeting, obviously there was nothing to hide, and there was no need to hide it.

After Tang Jian sent everyone away one by one, he checked the sentry post again, and then consciously stayed away from the backyard.

After sitting quietly for half an hour, he went out to inspect again, and then heard a report from his own soldiers: "Pei Kang, a friend of the country, is here." ”

He immediately went out and bowed: "Pei Gong." ”

Pei Kang didn't come to the meeting tonight, and Cao Fu didn't come either—they were originally window signs, and it didn't matter if they came or not.

But this will come, how to reveal the unusual.

"If there is an emergency, hurry up and get through Lu Gong." Pei Kang's face was a little solemn.

Tang Jian hesitated for a moment and didn't move.

Pei Kang was a little displeased, and said, "Why did Tang Dianwei stand still?" There are 100,000 urgent things. ”

"How urgent?" Tang Jian asked.

When Pei Kang heard this, he knew it in his heart, and he was even more blocked, and shouted: "If you don't know it, let the old man in." The old man is a friend of Luyang, and he needs to be the lord of the country. ”

Tang Jian didn't dare to stop Pei Kang, so he could only stabilize him and said, "Pei Gong is a little restless, and the servant will go to the court." ”

With that, he glanced at several soldiers at the gate of the courtyard and left.

After stepping over the two houses and walking through a garden, Tang Jian's footsteps hesitated a little.

The pro-soldiers on duty in the backyard stood tall and majestic.

Tang Jian sighed lightly and continued to move forward.

After passing through a corridor, I met several maids and maids of Liuhua Courtyard, and they saluted one after another.

Tang Jian responded loudly, telling them to cheer up and not be lazy.

After taking a few more steps, there was a high-pitched shout of "ahh

Then there is the sound of "uh-uh" before the person dies, as if there is some qi blocked in the chest, and it can't be discharged for a while.

It seems to be accompanied by the sound of rushing water.

Tang Jian preferred that he hadn't heard anything, and hurriedly took a few steps back, looking at the carvings on the pillars, as if he could see flowers.

After a while, Shao Xun walked out wearing a deep coat and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Pei Gong came at night and said that there were 100,000 urgent things." Tang Jian replied from afar.

"Wait a minute." Shao Xun nodded and went back to the room.

Lu rolled his eyes like a dying fish, and jerked violently from time to time.

Shao Xun picked up the silk silk and carefully wiped it for Lu Shi, then picked up the white jade-like body and said, "Xun Niang sleeps first, I still have something to do." ”

Lu Shi slowly came back to his senses, hugged Shao Xun, and asked, "Are you coming back?" ”

The snow-white and smooth body was tightly clinging to the arms of the dark and stout man, and under the moonlight, the contrast was stark, and a strange sense of shade arose.

"Back." Shao Xun patted her buttocks and said, "I've been sleeping here for the past few days." ”

Lu Shi hummed lightly, and then seemed to think of something, raised his face, and said with red eyes: "Lang Jun, don't tell me about Fang Cai's affairs, otherwise I won't live." ”

The face was extremely serious, and there was a bit of crying.

Shao Xun smiled dumbly, his eyes swept the ground, in the year of the great drought, it was actually wet.

Lu Shi was about to cry.

I wetted the bed when I was a child, why do I still pee when I am over 30? She really couldn't take it.

"Absolutely not, don't worry, it's a secret between us." Shao Xun put Lu Shi on the table, covered her with a thin quilt, and after whispering a few words of comfort, he put on his robe and left.

When I went out, I was full of spring breeze.

His two concubines, both of whom had little secrets, told him that if others knew, she would not live.

Haha, why are the women of the Sima family so cute? Much cuter than men.

When he came to the front hall, Pei Kang was already blowing his beard and glaring, very unhappy.

"Jun is the county duke, stay overnight in the widow's mansion of King Fan Yang, Cheng He-" Pei Kang had just started casting the spell when he was interrupted.

Shao Xun said: "I will send someone to Lou tomorrow." ”

Pei Kang was suffocated, and was about to cast a spell for the second time, but was interrupted by Shao Xun again: "In the early years of Emperor Wu, due to frequent wars, he issued an edict to encourage widows to remarry in order to verify their household registration. Now that the war is in turmoil at that time, what happened to me as a widow? You love me, and you don't bully men and women. ”

Pei Kang was speechless, so he could only swallow this breath alive, and then said: "The old man just received the news that Luoshui has broken off. ”

it! Even if he was really mentally prepared, Shao Xun was still a little surprised.

Of course, he didn't believe in any rumors.

In the year of the great drought, it is not incomprehensible that the Luoshui water is cut off.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Yellow River was cut off many times.

Interruption of the flow is not the absence of water in the whole basin, but the absence of water in a certain section and the bare riverbed. In some of the deeper sections, there may be some water in the river.

But it is useless for him to understand, the key is what other people think.

At this time, Lao Pei looked at Shao Xun with the eyes of a weasel looking at a chicken, which made him a little uncomfortable.

"Does Gong Lu know that in this way, someone will not tolerate you?" Pei Kang said quietly.

Shao Xun sighed and said, "I still say the same thing, this year should fight drought and disaster relief, a fart battle." But I didn't count what I said, Liu Yuanhai insisted on coming, and I couldn't help it. Since the Xiongnu came, the imperial court should fight well. I heard that a messenger went to Liangzhou to move the rescue troops, which is very good. Up and down concentric, the Xiongnu were not invincible. But if there is civil unrest again, it will be difficult to say. ”

From a rational point of view, his biggest interest and primary task now is to protect the Great Jin Imperial Court, not to let it be seriously weakened, let alone to fall.

The more the prestige of the imperial court fell, the more likely it was that the local feudal domain would be towned.

At that time, everyone will not be Uncle Fang appointed by the imperial court, but a hegemon in troubled times, completely unrestrained, and falling into a disorderly melee, who is the most dangerous?

It's not the Huns, it's someone Shao who is in the land of the four wars.

Sima Yue mobilized the Yuzhou soldiers to attack from the east to the west, the Xiongnu attacked from the north to the south, the people who seized Jingzhou attacked from the south to the north, and the king of Nanyang in Guanzhong went east again, you are covered in iron, how many nails can you hit?

Endless wars of attrition are very dangerous and must be avoided.

But things are always unsatisfactory, and there are always people who want to make trouble. Moreover, this person is still a descendant of the Sima family, and he does not cherish the foundation of his ancestors at all, and he has repeatedly dismantled the stage.

On the contrary, Shao Xun, an outsider, is worried about the foundation of the Sima family, and he doesn't want it to fall too quickly and maintain it repeatedly.

It's outrageous!

"What will Situ do?" Shao Xun asked.

Pei Kang thought for a while and said, "Situ is already inseparable from you, so I'm afraid I'm even more afraid." To be honest, the old man didn't know what he would do. ”

"Will he raise troops to the south?"

"Probably not." Pei Kang shook his head and said, "I just cleaned the forbidden army, I'm afraid I won't dare." ”

"What will happen if I go north to Luoyang?"

"The forbidden army will disperse in a hurry, and there won't be too many of them." Pei Kang said: "The Son of Heaven will also be extremely jealous, and he will summon the Sifang Prefecture and County to crusade against you. ”

Shao Xun shook his head and smiled, he just said it casually.

This is not the end of the Later Han Dynasty, and the atmosphere is completely different.

Those who coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, the kings of the Sima clan have already demonstrated, whoever touches it will die. Even Sima Yue, who had just ripped off the last fig leaf and actually controlled the Son of Heaven, would also die.

You can't coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, but you also want to keep the Great Jin Dynasty, and the actual controller of the Great Jin Dynasty is still hostile to you.

You teach him a lesson, if you teach him a hard lesson, he will fall apart by himself, and it will ruin your big things.

If you don't teach him, he will always be disgusted with you.

It's fucked up.

"Can Gong Pei go to Luoyang!" Shao Xun asked.

"Looking for whom?" Pei Kang's eyelids jumped and asked.

"Captain Wang."

"Will Wang Yifu help you?"

"Wang Taiwei, although he is boastful and untrustworthy, but he is a little good, he knows current affairs and has a soft figure. Most importantly, he didn't want anything to happen to the imperial court. Shao Xun said.

"What do you want Wang Yifu to do?"

"Let him find a suitable opportunity to persuade the Son of Heaven and Situ." Shao Xun said.

"It's not difficult for the Son of Heaven to persuade, but it's a little difficult for Situ." Pei Kang thought about Sima Yue's current state, and said with some uncertainty: "It's okay now, what about the future?" ”

"I can only take one step at a time." Shao Xun said: "Most of the people who spread rumors are Huns. They didn't expect that Luoshui would really stop flowing, but the crooked fight brought me great trouble, making it impossible for the whole of Dajin to work together. Fortunately, at the moment of the great enemy, the court will not really do anything to me. ”

Pei Kang nodded silently, he really had to do this at the moment.

"The old man really owes you, alas." Pei Kang got up, glared at Shao Xun, and asked, "It's true to take one step at a time, but do you have a long-term strategy in mind?" ”

"Naturally, he is a loyal minister of the Great Jin." Shao Xun said: "The Huns entered the Kou, I led my division to the difficulty, so loyal and brave, do the Son of Heaven and Situ still believe in the ethereal rumors?" How do people in the world think? ”

"If only you had a good idea." Pei Kang saw that it was late at night and it was inconvenient to disturb, so he left.

"Tang Jian." Shao Xun shouted.

"The servant is here."

"Let Pastor Wu come over tomorrow."

"Yes."

Shao Xun waved his hand and told Tang Jian to retreat.

Wu was summoned tomorrow to recruit soldiers. This was supposed to be done at the end of the year, because there would be no officers to leave the army until the beginning of next year, but now we can't wait, so we can only recruit 1,200 people in advance to deal with the complicated situation.

He is not the most dangerous time now.

The most dangerous time was when the Xiongnu were defeated and retreated to Hedong, and it was difficult to guarantee that Sima Yue would have any troubles.

Of course, if the Xiongnu won and Luoyang fell, it would be more dangerous.

His current strength, against the main force of the Huns, defeat is inevitable. Under the great drought, the Hun cavalry could even rush straight to Guangchengze, destroying or even destroying his foundation.

He and the imperial court, like a husband and wife in the same bed and different dreams, are not used to each other, and even have many quarrels, but they still have to live together, tolerate each other, and deal with the family crisis together - because only when both parties work together can it be possible to tide over the crisis.

At this time, if you calculate who suffers and who takes advantage, and even fight, then there is really no pattern and vision at all.

Also, from a dialectical point of view, there are good and bad sides to everything.

What you gain, you have to lose.

In the context of the Huns' entry into the Kou and rumors flying all over the sky, I, Sima Yue, and Liu Yuan, what they have gained and what they have lost, it all depends on their respective operations.
