Chapter 0884 want to sell some food(2/2)
Bald Khotan felt a little bitter in his heart.
But this was obviously not the time to think about these things.
"The bald patriarch doesn't need to pursue them too far, just drive these Xianbei Hus into the quicksand."
Liu Hun sneered, "Let them rest a little longer. Sooner or later, the big man will march into Xihai County. Where will they go?"
"If you don't obey the orders of the big man, go back to the desert and try to survive. See if you are lucky enough to survive the white disaster in the desert."
The desert is not like Liangzhou. There are white disasters in Liangzhou, but they are not common. In the desert, they happen almost every year.
Otherwise, why would everyone be thinking about going south these years?
Thinking of this, Liu Hun smiled strangely:
"Besides, the governor's office doesn't have that much food to feed the labor force now."
When the bald man heard the last sentence, a chill suddenly rushed from his tailbone to his forehead!
The hand that had been holding the scabbard on his waist suddenly had veins popping out.
This is simply a subconscious action.
In this case, if it were someone from the governor's office, be it Feng Junhou, General Guan, or Secretary Zhang, Bald Khotan would take it for granted.
But how dare a Xiongnu speak of Xianbei people in this way?
Don’t you know that the Xianbei people have the final say in the desert now?
How dare the Huns, who have been treating people like dogs for hundreds of years, say that about the master of the desert?
There is also a chain of contempt among the barbarians.
If this Xiongnu was not the Guiyi Marquis of the Han family, and if it were not his current identity, he could have directly pulled out his knife and hacked the humanoid beast in front of him to death!
Of course, I wanted to chop this Xiongnu to death, but the people being treated as laborers were not from my own tribe, so Bald-faced Khotan could only think about it.
I saw him gritting his teeth and holding his fists, then turned around and left in a hurry, preparing to summon his tribe members to lead the pursuit in person.
Although Liu Hun ordered not to kill too hard, Bald-faced Khotan still chased the noisy Western Xianbei into the quicksand for several miles before retreating again.
In Liangzhou in March, the snow melts and spring returns to the earth.
Many official documents that could not be delivered due to heavy snowfall last year began to be delivered to the governor's house continuously.
Among them, the one that most aroused Governor Feng's interest was that Sun Shiwan was once again blocked in front of Hefei.
"We agreed to attack Hefei every year, but were blocked every year. Apart from feigning surrender, can we come up with something new?"
Governor Feng couldn't help but complain.
Ever since Sun Quan became emperor and Soochow and the Han agreed to divide the world equally, they have talked about attacking Hefei every year.
Every year it’s a small fight, just send some troops to march across the border and that’s it, or they just pretend to surrender, as much as they can...
Even Governor Feng, who was an ally, couldn't help but complain, let alone the Wei thieves.
I'm afraid this Soochow is just like mosquitoes buzzing in your ears when you turn off the lights and go to bed at night.
It's annoying to be hit and unable to hit, and it's annoying to death. If you don't pay attention, it will quietly lie on you and suck blood.
"Sun Quan has the name of an emperor, but he does not have the heart of an emperor, let alone the ambition of an emperor, and his vision is no more than that of a prince."
Guan Ji had just returned from walking outside and was lying on the couch to rest. When she heard this, a smile appeared on her face:
"What Alang said is true."
Although she has never mentioned the incident in Jingzhou over the years, this does not mean that she is so broad-minded that she has forgotten the hatred between her father and brother.
General Guan was very happy to hear his Alang commenting on Sun Quan.
"But..." Zhang Xiaosi answered from the side, "Sun Quan's prince Sun Deng has a good reputation and is also very scheming."
As she said that, she glanced at Feng Jishi.
There was a story that had to be told between Sun Deng and Tiger Girl back then...
Governor Feng just pretended that he didn't understand the meaning, and even nodded, as if he agreed with Zhang Xiaosi:
"That's right, Sun Quan has a good son. I thought that they could do something if they lived in two places, each taking one."
"I didn't expect that Sun Deng could use the death of his younger brother to convince Sun Quan to let him stay in Jianye. It's really not easy."
In the first month of this year, Sun Quan's second descendant Sun Li died of illness.
Sun Deng heard that Sun Quan was extremely sad and rushed to Jianye overnight to persuade Sun Quan to take care of himself.
After some time, Sun Quan wanted to drive Sun Deng back to Wuchang.
Sun Deng used Sun Lu's early death as an example, citing his failure to serve his parents, and also urged Lu Xun to be loyal, diligent, and carefree in Wuchang, so he asked himself to stay in Jianye.
I have to say that Sun Deng's timing was very good, and Sun Quan actually agreed.
"So Lu Xun is in charge of Wuchang affairs now?" Governor Feng pondered for a moment, then touched his chin, "In the past few years, Soochow has wanted to attack Hefei several times."
"If Lu Xun is in charge of Wuchang affairs, he can cooperate with Sun Quan's attack on Hefei from Jianye..."
The Dabie Mountains to the north of Wuchang are a natural barrier that prevents the Wei army from going south directly.
The State of Wu gathered troops here to support Ruxuwu to the east and Jingzhou to the west. It was an important military town connecting Jiangdong and Jingzhou.
It is not an exaggeration to call it Wu Guo’s heart and lungs.
"Even when Sun Deng stayed in Wuchang as the prince, Lu Xun was actually the one who oversaw the military affairs and state affairs. Why didn't Lu Xun follow suit when Sun Quan wanted to attack Hefei?"
General Guan dismissed Zhang Xiaosi's little thoughts. The name Sun Deng meant nothing to her.
My children have all started practicing martial arts, and I still have one, maybe two, in my belly. Are you telling me this?
is that useful?
"It's different." Feng Yong shook his head, "Sima Yi was in Jingzhou before, but now that Sima Yi has arrived in Guanzhong, the people from Wei who guard Jingzhou may not be able to threaten Lu Xun."
"Also, Zhuge Jin is considered a talented person. He can't deal with Sima Yi, but facing other people in Wei, Jingzhou should be fine."
Sima Yi was in Jingzhou, so Lu Xun could only keep an eye on Jingzhou.
But the Han Dynasty is now playing too aggressively in the west, which has begun to affect the strategic balance between Wei and Wu in the east.
If Sun Shiwan hadn't been holding him back...
"Then Alang thinks, can Sun Quan conquer Hefei?"
Guan Ji asked with concern.
Governor Feng laughed and said: "Just rely on Sun Shiwan? You should be more realistic and think about when the big Han will conquer Guanzhong."
"What is Sun Shiwan? If it gets spread, people will say you are dishonest."
Guan Ji said in a funny and good-natured way, "It's enough to scold General Zhang for climbing mountains and Sima for crossing rivers against Wei thieves. Wu is now an ally of the Han Dynasty."
Feng Yong curled his lips, "Even if they are not allies, can Wu still go up the river?"
Even Lu Kang couldn't defeat Yong'an, which was defended by Luo Xian's remaining troops, and the plague was prevalent in the city. Why could Wu now defeat Yong'an, which had the support of the entire Shu region?
Now the Han Dynasty owns two states plus Longyou, and Nanzhong is undergoing great development, and the economy continues to develop.
Even if the Wu State betrays its alliance, at most it will only delay the Han Dynasty from competing with the Wei State for Guanzhong in the next few years.
There is also Jingnan, which is now the raw material production area of Dahan brown sugar. It is also the source of brown sugar quota for many aristocratic families and even military generals in Wu Kingdom.
If Wu wants to break the alliance, Sun Quan must first solve the problem of whether he can finish the sugar cane in Jingnan and then bring out the brown sugar.
Thinking of this, King Feng Gui suddenly chuckled: "It's good that Lu Xun is distracted by things in the east. Then we can try to sell grain to Jingzhou."
"Are you crazy?"
Guan Ji asked in surprise.
"Liangzhou is a fertile land. As long as it passes these two years, it will be self-sufficient and can be used to feed livestock."
With advanced farming methods and the God-given land of Liangzhou, if it really develops, what problems can happen to food?
Governor Feng said grandly, "What will we do with so much food in Shu then? We can't let the grain be cheap and hurt the farmers, right?"
It is impossible for low grain prices to harm farmers.
Not possible for at least five years.
Unless the big man has Guanzhong in his hands.
In this case, the Han Dynasty would have two kingdoms of abundance, plus a heaven-given treasure land, and there would be a surplus of food.
But Governor Feng just wants to find an excuse now.
"In the past few years in Jingzhou, wasn't it because there was a food shortage and the army was short of food? That's why Lu Xun suggested that the army lieutenants be allowed to open up wasteland and cultivate fields in Jingzhou?"
Lu Xun was the first person to preside over the land reclamation in Jingzhou. If he still focused on matters in Jingzhou, some small actions would be really difficult to do.
"In order to revive the Han Dynasty, why shouldn't we sell grain to our allies at a fair price?"
Governor Feng slapped his thigh and said, "It's settled! Secretary Zhang, help me draft a letter to the Prime Minister."
When Zhang Xiaosi heard this, he immediately responded happily: "Brother-in-law is the one who thinks long-term!"
