"The king is tired today?" Wang Wei asked softly while pressing Liu Tai's temples.

"No!" Liu Tai shook his head and said, "It's hard for you to take An'er all the way to Yecheng on a snowy day." ”

Wang Wei shook her head when she heard Liu Tai's words, and said in a soft voice: "The concubine understands that the king wants to calm the hearts of the people in Yecheng, and the concubine and An'er came over early, which also made the soldiers more relaxed."

And this way is also a soft sitting in the incense car, the guards are thorough, and the concubine and An'er have arrived in Yecheng safely. ”

"Hmm!" Liu Tai nodded silently, married Wang Wei, and gave birth to Liu An, but it made Liu Tai feel as if he had a little more connection to the world.

Even so, Liu Tai could clearly feel the coldness engraved in his bones, and couldn't help but reach out and shake Wang Wei.

Although he really doesn't love Wang Wei, he is still very satisfied with Wang Wei and likes her soft body.

And Wang Wei said: "King, now that we have settled down in Yecheng, should we recruit some female officials and female envoys to be appointed in the mansion?" ”

"You are in charge of the affairs of the house." Liu Tai waved his hand and said, "You don't need to ask me for instructions, this is your right." ”

Wang Wei couldn't help but be overjoyed when she heard Liu Tai's words, and then said, "If it's just an ordinary female envoy, it will naturally not disturb the king."

The king is the king of the world, and the concubine does not dare to be alone, and he also asks the king to choose beauties from good people! ”

When Liu Tai heard Wang Wei's words, he glanced at Wang Wei with some surprise, and said calmly:

"You can do it, and I'll take another look at it and pick one or two."

"The concubine understands, does the king have standards?" Wang Wei couldn't help but ask when she heard Liu Tai's words.

Liu Tai thought for a moment, slowly stretched out his hand, and drew it on Wang Wei's neck, rubbing his hot fingers on the cold skin.

Liu Tai said with a slight smile and said, "The sideburns are fragrant and the neck clouds cover the lotus, and the pink blue chest snow presses the plum." ”

"Your lord, you are so bad, don't move your hands." Wang Wei blushed and reprimanded Liu Tai in a low voice.

"This is the fire you started, so naturally you are here to extinguish it!" Liu Tai said to Wang Wei with a little smile.

It's an ordinary day in the Qi Palace.

Liu Tai's feelings for Wang Wei are not very deep, and she doesn't have the feeling that she has to be, but since marrying Wang Wei, she really has someone in her life who can be entrusted to help her take care of it, and she also has an indescribable sense of warmth.

It is precisely because Wang Wei is taking care of Liu Tai's inner courtyard that Liu Tai is full of fatigue when he returns every day, but after getting up the next day, he is full of energy again and welcomes the new day with a new look.

It's just that after Liu Tai came to the Department of Internal Affairs today, he soon got a piece of news, "Zu Ti is short of food?!" ”

"Strictly speaking, we didn't find out that Zu Ti was not short of military rations, but it was a bit unusual for his people to smash ice and fish by the Yellow River." Chu Yu said with the news he had found.

"Send someone out to find out the news!" Liu Tai's expression became serious, and he said firmly, "I want to know further news!" ”

"Obey!" Chu Yi and Zhou Zheng looked at Liu Tai's serious expression and understood what Liu Tai meant.

After all, he and the others are going to dig the canal, just to deal with Zu Ti with their overall strength, if Zu Ti is really short of food, then maybe this is a pretty good opportunity.

Therefore, Liu Tai's scouts on the south bank of the Yellow River gradually became active, and information from all walks of life also converged on Liu Tai at this time.

First of all, after discussing with the ministers, Yang Xianrong chose to abandon Luoyang, concentrated all the people and materials in Chang'an, and ceded Luoyang to Zu Ti.

Under this policy, this Great Zhao is more like the Qin State, firmly occupying the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan, and intends to rely on Hangu Pass to continue to survive.

After all, the defeat of 150,000 soldiers was too great for Yang Xianrong, so she really didn't dare to continue to participate in the princes' struggle for hegemony.

But even so, Zhao Guo is not having a good time in Qinchuan now, the two tribes of Ba Yi began to rebel, and at the same time there was Chen An's rebellion, it can be said that a bunch of things are waiting for Yang Xianrong, and if she wants to survive the current Zhao State, it is really hard for her.

And although Zu Ti took the tiger prison and took this important stronghold into his own hands, he did not immediately enter the army in Luoyang.

Zu Ti has grown wise and knows that he has already achieved the revival of Luoyang, and if he revives Luoyang for the second time, it will inevitably be a little hateful.

So after taking the Tiger Prison, he planned to ask Sima Rui to send someone over to brush up on the achievements of reviving Luoyang!

At that time, he will not be conspicuous, and he wants to continue the Northern Expedition, not to mention getting their support, as long as he no longer hinders himself!

But Zu Ti waited left and right, and he didn't see that Sima Rui didn't send someone over, and his heart couldn't help but be full of doubts.

Such a good opportunity, to give you meritorious deeds, don't make any more trouble!

At this time, Zu Ti waited for Sima Rui's news that a famine broke out in Jiangdong, not only could he not send troops, but he also needed to borrow some food from Zu Ti to help the people of Jiangdong tide over the crisis.

Hearing the news, Zu Ti even had a feeling of wanting to vomit blood, and he made a lot of calculations, and even took political reasons into account, but he didn't expect that there would be such a thing as a shortage of food in the Jiangdong area.

Zu Ti doesn't understand, I really don't understand, the lack of food is not like a natural disaster, you say that there is a shortage of food.

Even if the wind and rain in the Jiangnan area are not smooth this year, at least it is not so bad that natural disasters have occurred.

Why is there a shortage of food?!

Zu Ti didn't know how Sima Rui and Wang Dao managed the Jiangnan region, but in the face of this messenger who asked for food, he still didn't wipe off his face, squeezed out a hundred stones from his military rations, and sent them to Jiangnan to rescue Sima Rui.

No matter how you say it, this is your own boss, and your background is not your own choice, but the boss is your own choice.

Not to mention that although this boss is a little unreliable, he at least supports himself.

Even after he achieved the results of reviving Luoyang, he was afraid and sent Dai Yuan to check and balance, but Zu Li understood this kind of behavior in the end.

And with the gradual maturity and adaptation of Zu Ti in politics, he also specially left meritorious deeds, waiting for Sima Rui to send someone to pick it up, but it was shelved because of the famine in the rear.

It's just that the grain of 100 stones sent to Jiangnan is just a drop in the bucket, not so much a solution as a heart.

"Brother, in recent days, I feel that the business travel is a little too active!"

Zu Yue also found that the number of business travelers on both sides of the Yellow River had suddenly increased a lot, and immediately came over to report to Zu Yu.

"Liu Tai has already known about the famine in Jiangnan, so he came to find out our truth!" Zu Ti said to Zu Yu.

"Brother, but you want to be under martial law and take down all these spies?" Zu Yue replied to Zu Ti.

Zu Ti shook his head decisively and said, "As long as Liu Tai knows that we are not short of food, Liu Tai will naturally retreat!" ”

When Zu Ti said this, he was full of confidence.

After all, Zu Ti believed that Liu Tai was a smart person, and this time the number of spies suddenly increased, because it was to probe his own fiction and reality, as long as Liu Tai knew that there was no shortage of food in his army, then Liu Tai would put down his doubts no matter what he thought.

After all, Liu Tai had just swallowed Liu Yao and Shi Le, and he was still digesting, so it was impossible to have the strength to go south.

And Zu Yue heard Zu Li's words, but he immediately sent someone to arrange things.

To put it simply, it is to order people to use edible rice, dispatch and transport it from south to north, and carry out acceptance and handover near the store where it has been confirmed that there are spies, so that the spies can see the rice with white flowers and clearly know that there is enough food in the army.

As for why the common people have vegetables and need to go to the big river to catch fish one by one, you can guess for yourself.

Anyway, the food in your army is quite sufficient, and you can fight if you have the ability.

And in this era, there is enough food in the army, and the common people are in difficulty, this kind of thing is really normal.

In such a situation, anyway, as long as there is enough food in the army, it will be enough to deal with you Liu Tai.

Liu Tai looked at the information that the scouts had discovered, and then summarized it and looked at Wen Qiao Dao:

"Tae-jin, what do you think of this information?"

"The Great Emperor of Qiqi feels that our spies have been discovered by Zu Ti, and Zu Ti is demonstrating to us!"

Wen Qiao looked at Liu Tai's gaze towards him, but replied to Liu Tai as soon as possible.

When Liu Tai heard Wen Qiao's words, he also nodded approvingly, signaling Wen Qiao to continue.

Wen Qiao was encouraged and continued:

"According to the information we have received, it is not Yanzhou that has been affected, and it is impossible to hide the disaster in this state.

These people who went to fish by the Yellow River were more from the south of Yanzhou, and if these refugees were alone, I was afraid that they would not be able to shake the foundation of Zu Ti.

Even if he retreats 10,000 steps and the people have no food, it is certain that Zu Ti has behaved like this, and there is no shortage of food in Zu Ti's army.

Since the beginning of this year, Zu Ti is only preparing to go north, not really waving his troops to the north, and there is no doubt that Zu Ti still has food in his hands! ”

Liu Tai heard Wen Qiao's words and also recognized Wen Qiao's analysis.

In any case, for Liu Tai, this is just a dispensable opportunity, if he can have the opportunity to win Zu Li at one time, he will naturally not be stingy to give it a try.

And if you don't have a chance, then forget it, just continue to play steadily!

"King, I think we can take this opportunity to renew our friendship." At this time, Chu Yu said decisively.

"What do you say?!" Liu Tai heard Chu Yu's words, but he was a little puzzled.

And Chu Yi said, "We should give food to help our ancestors!" ”

Everyone was a little stunned when they heard Chu Yi's words, and neither Zhang Song nor Xi Jian couldn't help but ponder.

Liu Tai was slightly silent, for Liu Tai, he must look at the problem with both sides of the matter, and he would not easily veto something.

So at this moment, hearing Chu Yi's news, Liu Tai couldn't help but say, "Please elaborate." ”

Chu Yu nodded when he heard Liu Tai's words, and then spoke:

"At the beginning, Yang withered to De Wu and became close friends with Lu Kang, the general of Eastern Wu, but this behavior made Lu Kang suspicious of Sun Hao, which is also one.

Since our army has no chance to crusade against the Central Plains this time, it is necessary to continue to concentrate on opening up the canal, so it is natural to maintain a certain friendship with Zu Ti, and this is the second thing.

The most important thing is that we need to take this opportunity to win the hearts and minds of the people south of the Yellow River! This is also the third! ”

Hearing Chu Yi's words, everyone was stunned, and Liu Tai said in a deep voice: "Do you want us to lower the resistance of the people when we crusade?"

With the presence of ancestors, it is not easy for the people south of the Yellow River to recover! ”

To be honest, although he can occasionally give benefits to the people north of the Yellow River, the people are very realistic.

Except for a very few guys who think that the moon outside is rounder than the inside, they are basically very supportive of the government that can give them a bite to eat.

Not to mention, the Chinese people have more or less the consciousness of relocating to the land, as long as they are not forced to do so, the choice of the vast majority of the people is to die in their own homes.

"The king is not!" Chu Yi said to Liu Tai,

"I want to let these people know that the Han is now ruled by the king, not by the Huns.

At the same time, in order to eradicate the influence left by the Xiongnu aliens, the minister respectfully asked the king to choose a time to become a great treasure and re-establish the Han court! ”

When everyone heard Chu Yu suddenly say this, they all came back to their senses, and hurriedly knelt down and said to Liu Tai:

"The ministers respectfully invite the king to ascend to the throne and re-establish the Han court!"

"Get up!" Liu Tai heard the words of these people, told them to get up, and then said,

"I'm not polite, in the future, when the time is right, the emperor will be the emperor, and you can also be a marquis and jointly compose a good story of the monarch and the minister.

It's just that now we only occupy the land of Hebei, and we are a little too anxious to be the emperor in a hurry.

First of all, the form of the military merit knight that Chu Yu asked you to get out has not yet come out, and all the generals under my command have not yet been successfully crowned marquis, I am called the emperor, and I don't divide the ministers. ”

When everyone heard this, their eyes couldn't help but look at Chu Yi, as if they were silently saying at this time, "It's all your fault!" ”

Chu Yu looked up at the eaves and felt that the eaves carved railings on it had a unique taste.

Is this kind of system, which involves the entire military system, something that can be taken out in a few days, and every treatment and punishment must be carefully considered.

After all, this thing is about the exchange of military merits, and if you are sloppy at the beginning, you will be afraid that it will be a big trouble in the future.

"As for the second point, that is, it is to return to the old capital, whether it is Chang'an or Luoyang, if these two places are not in my hands, how can I be qualified to be the emperor in the name of the Great Han!"

Liu Tai shook his head and said, "But everyone is united, and in order to let the other side understand that the Xiongnu and Han are no longer there, only the Han is left, so find a day, I will change the title to the king of Han!" ”

"Ministers, see King Han!" When everyone heard Liu Tai's words, they hurriedly expressed their loyalty in unison!

And Liu Tai's eyes looked at Chu Yu, and said very solemnly: "What you said is right, at least let the Jin people on the other side of the Yellow River know."

What they have to face is no longer the cruel and ferocious Huns, but the Liu clan who wants to rebuild the Han Dynasty! ”
