May is commonly known as the evil month, and there are many taboos, one of which is the prohibition of building houses.

As for whether building a city is considered to be building a house, then the benevolent will see the wise and the wise will see the wise.

When Shao Xun got the details of the construction of the city sent by the imperial court, he looked at it for a long time, and then gave his opinion.

The city near the ferry port on the south bank is not small, divided into two cities inside and outside, and the city is more than ten miles around.

The city on the sandbar in the river is much smaller.

The imperial court sent personnel to survey and determined that even if the widest place was chosen, it could only build a small city of four miles, and there was no outer city, which was smaller than many county seats.

Well, a smaller county town is so big, but as a military facility, such a large city is obviously not good, and the main problem is that it can't store too many supplies.

But the objective conditions are there, and there is nothing too good about it.

If, like in the Sui and Tang dynasties, several sandbanks were connected together and became a large piece of land, the surplus was much greater.

"How is Xun Song?" Shao Xun was reclining on the Hu bed, as if he had just finished bathing, and the robe on his body was loose, and he probably didn't have anything in it.

Wang Xuan, who came from Luoyang, didn't care.

When the scholars are entertaining, there are not too many such scenes. It's just that Shao Xun didn't have this kind of profligate style before, which made him a little strange.

"This person is Xun Yu's great-great-grandson, a good literary ......," Wang Xuan said.

"Stop." Shao Xun stretched out his hand to stop, and said: "If I remember correctly, this person has a lot of relationship with Wang Dun, Lu Ji, Gu Rong and others, and often plays together and recites poems. But if there is any military strategy, it is not necessarily, right? ”

As soon as the word "Wang Dun" came out, there was a noise in the next room.

Wang Xuan didn't care, because he was really a little worried when Shao Xun said this.

"It's come to this, it's useless to worry." Shao Xun said: "Just ask Xun Song not to command blindly." ”

Learn from Wang Dun and let the people below do it.

There are generals on the left guard, the right guard, and the cavalry, and there are three governors, palace generals, and school captains under the generals......

As long as it doesn't mess around, the army is slow and stupid, but it is not without the strength to fight, after all, Wang Mi is not strong.

Wang Xuan also felt the same way, but he was still a little worried, and finally only sighed softly.

"How's the matter of food, grass, and ordnance going?" Shao Xun asked again.

"The ordnance is quite insufficient, so we can only allocate some of it first." Wang Xuan said: "Grain and grass are difficult. Shouchun only brought the first batch of grain, and the second batch of cao ships had not yet set off. I can only support 100,000 husks of corn first, and wait for the rest at the end of June and early July. ”

Shao Xun glared at him and said, "I have mobilized so many soldiers and horses, and the cost of grain and grass for a month will be 80,000 Hu, how long will 100,000 Hu be enough?" ”

"Use the ...... first," Wang Xuan was a little embarrassed.

Who is to blame for this? It seems that the Son of Heaven is still to blame.

After the Chinese New Year this year, a large number of Luoyang people went east to Yangzhou through Yuzhou, and Luoyang's population decreased by a considerable part, and the food consumption was not so large.

Seeing this, the Son of Heaven used grain as bait, recruited strong people from the homeless people, replenished the forbidden army, and launched the Battle of Xin'an.

In this way, food was suddenly scarce.

To put it mildly, after removing the 100,000 grains spent on Shao Xun, the grain storage in Taicang in Dongyangmen is only enough to support until July.

If there are no boats coming in June and July, we will have to endure until the autumn harvest in August to see if we can scrape out some more grain.

But how long can it last? I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this year, after all, Luoyang's agricultural production has been seriously damaged.

But that's not the scariest thing.

The most worrying thing is that if one day Jiangdong, Xuzhou and other places do not have grain into Beijing, what should we do?

"Doing things all day long that I don't know what to do." Shao Xun said unhappily: "Wang Mi is going to fight, but not now." Or, the Son of Heaven has thought clearly, Xin'an and Mengjin can only have one place to go to war, and they think it will be the heyday of the Great Jin Dynasty? ”

After Wang Xuan heard this, he felt even more bad for the Son of Heaven, and sighed again and again.

Think about it, too, the matter of grain and grass has not been determined, and the war suddenly started, is there such a war? Thinking that this dispatch of troops was completely threatened by the Son of Heaven to move the capital, it is even more unfortunate to "stir up nonsense" and get it.

The Son of Heaven wanted to move the capital, but the ministers were reluctant to dissuade him, and the Son of Heaven took the opportunity to bargain and finally made such a mess.

"When will Ming Gong leave?" Wang Xuan no longer dwelled on these bad things, and changed the topic.

"Just for a few days." Shao Xun said: "I transferred 50,000 Hu Su from Xinzhengcang, but I haven't shipped it yet. The ugly words are ahead, if I don't see the military rations in July, I will not do it. ”

Wang Xuan knew very well that even if Shao Xun really didn't give Shao Xun military food in July, he wouldn't really quit doing it, but would find a way to transfer grain from Yuzhou and make up for it himself.

But that's not how things worked, no matter how tight the food in the imperial court was, they had to find a way to squeeze out a little, so they said angrily: "Don't worry, Duke Ming, by mid-July at the latest, I will definitely allocate 100,000 Hu military rations to Mengjin." ”

Shao Xun was noncommittal.

Your Wang Xuan's guarantee is useless. Not to mention anything else, in case the battle of Xin'an fails, let Wang Mi fight under Luoyang City, how do you transport grain? When the time comes, it won't be fun for me to come back from the front line.

"Let's do it first." Shao Xun said: "The situation on the Xin'an side will be reported once a day, and the horse will be sent to our army quickly." Before the autumn harvest in August, I will let the Zhongwu army go north and attack the second tomb of Kunban and Huangchi, and talk about containment. For the rest, the court will figure it out on its own, remember one thing, and be respectful. ”

On the battlefield, there is a strange phenomenon that after a major battle breaks out, the losing side retreats sharply, giving up a lot of land. Especially in those places where the terrain is difficult and dangerous, there is no will to fight when the rout is defeated, and everyone is scrambling to flee for their lives, and it is easy to give it up. When you adjust later and want to regain the land, you will have to pay a heavy price, because the enemy already has a geographical advantage.

Xin'an falls into this category.

In the past two years, the Xiongnu did not fail to advance from this direction, and the imperial court did not fail to fight the Xiongnu in Xin'an or even further west, but each time the Xiongnu withdrew, they did not occupy this land.

And after Guanzhong was taken, they had no worries, and directly occupied Hongnong and gave it to Wang Mi.

Wang Mi is on the territory of five counties, and his enthusiasm is much stronger than that of the Huns, so he is naturally easy to manage. If the imperial court wants to take Xin'an back now, it will definitely have to pay the price of blood.

"By the way, has the imperial court requisitioned troops from other states and counties?" Shao Xun asked.

"Yes." Wang Xuan nodded affirmatively and said, "Jingxiang is still in war and can't draw troops, but Xiangyang still sent three thousand troops north. On the Yangzhou side, there were no troops deployed. ”

Shao Xun nodded.

The reason why he asked about this matter was purely to analyze how much prestige the imperial court still had.

In the Sima Yue era, although Luoyang was repeatedly besieged, Yangzhou still sent two soldiers, one was the Huainan soldiers led by Wang Kuang, and the entire army was wiped out in Shangdang; Once it was Wu Xingbing led by Qian Xuan, who rebelled directly in Guangling because he was afraid of the Huns.

Jingzhou also sent 5,000 troops north, but they returned halfway because the siege of Luoyang had been lifted.

After Sima Yue's death, the situation in Luoyang was still difficult. At this time, only Jingzhou was willing to send troops, and Jiangdong refused the imperial court's conscription with silence - this is not to blame Sima Rui, but the wealthy clan of Wu Di is unwilling to send troops.

Fortunately, they are still willing to give money and food.

If the money and food are unwilling to go out one day, the prestige of the Luoyang Imperial Court will really be lost. What remains may be just a little righteousness, and even the appointment and dismissal of officials may not be possible.

"You go back." Shao Xun sighed and said, "It's good to do it yourself." If the family can move out of Luoyang, they will move out. ”

"Jing Feng and Hui Feng no longer live in Luoyang." Wang Xuan said subconsciously.

Shao Xun looked at him amusedly and didn't say anything.

He doesn't want to be a woman, he is very virtuous, and he is too lazy to break with him.

After sending Wang Xuan away, Shao Xun asked Hu to move the bed to the window of Concubine Pei's bedroom and talked.

“…… Are you sure of this battle? Concubine Pei asked.

There was a child's cry in the house, as if he was hungry, but it stopped after a while.

Shao Xun listened to it and said, "How can you not be sure of a war? However, it is better to block the river and resist the enemy than to risk running. ”

Last time, I fought a sports war with the Huns, and this time, if nothing else, it will be a squatting battle, and the difference is still very big.

However, this is very suitable for him, who is mainly infantry, because his mobility ability is really not good.

"Hmm." Concubine Pei's voice came again: "Don't be reckless, we are waiting for you to come back." ”

"Okay." Shao Xun said: "Unless Liu Cong appears in front of me, I will be in a deep ditch and a high base, and I will not be able to defend it." ”

"Is Yanzhou sure?" Concubine Pei asked again.

"It's okay for the time being, it's hard to say when the autumn harvest is in August." Shao Xun said: "But don't worry, it's just that the soldiers will come to block the water and cover the earth." ”

Concubine Pei was silent for a while, and then said: "The Huns suffered a loss last year, and when the river freezes this year, will they come again?" ”

Shao Xun frowned, don't say it, there is really such a possibility.

Compared with the Yangtze River, the Yellow River has a fatal drawback, that is, it freezes in winter, and there are many places where people and vehicles can pass through directly.

During the Eastern and Western Wei Dynasty, the Western Wei Dynasty often requisitioned the people to dig ice in key river sections to prevent the Eastern Wei army from crossing the river.

The Yellow River, after all, is not the Yangtze River, it is not easy to compare.

"Don't worry, I've got you covered." Shao Xun said: "You take care of the children at home first, don't worry, wait for me to come back." ”

"Hmm." Concubine Pei said softly: "After you come back, hug the child more." ”

"The matter of Princess Xiangcheng ......" Shao Xun hesitated for a long time, and finally asked.

"She won't join the Shao family, she is the wife of the Wang family." Concubine Pei only said this, and then said no more.

Shao Xun didn't know how to describe his feelings.

When my wife is unable to serve, she introduces her relatives to you.

If Yu Wenjun is pregnant, it seems that he can still play with his wife's best friend?

Is......

On the last day of May, Shao Xun received a letter from Yu Wenjun.

Xiao Nizi has returned to Xuchang to serve her in-laws and take care of the family business.

Shao Xun had never seen such a long letter, and he wrote several pages.

The little girl shared every interesting story with him, which made Shao Xun feel more and more guilty.

Lao Tzu swore one more oath to control Gil.

After taking the oath, he wrote a reply letter, and then strode away from Kaocheng, and the whole army went north.
