Section 34 Aiming
"The great trouble of the empire? The source of the people? Sister, I can't understand it. How can the people live and work in peace and contentment under Li Wufeng's rule be called the source of the people? As for the great trouble of the empire, I also have different views on this. If he is to divide one side, it is a great trouble, then what about the Sixth Prince, the Great Prince, the Seventh Prince and the Third Prince? Is it because their surname is Situ, it is not a big trouble, but a real thing? If my sister thinks this way, I think your mind is
It's too narrow. This world is not the same family. There is a saying among the folks in Tanghe that the emperor takes turns to come to my house next year. Although it is a joke, it also reveals a truth, that is, there is no dynasty that will not collapse for a thousand years. My little sister remembers that the Situ Dynasty also grew up in a local prince in the past dynasty. Then why no one said that the Situ Dynasty was the source of disaster for the people? It's all because the Situ Dynasty won the hearts and opinions of the people at that time, and it was in line with the flow of historical development."
Although Sophia's tone was gentle, the argument was extremely sharp, which made Situ Yushuang's delicate face feel furious, and her heart was filled with pain. She was also a little surprised. Although she had not communicated with this girl about these things for some time, Sophia's words suddenly became so sharp that it did make Situ Yushuang look at each other with admiration for three days. However, the other party's remarks did talk about Situ Yushuang's pain point. Why did it say that the Situ Dynasty will be passed down for generations forever? Princes, Generals and Prime Ministers Ning, this sentence was originally a slogan proposed by the rebel army before the previous dynasty was destroyed. As expected, the title of emperor finally fell on the Situ family. Who can explain the change of dynasty clearly? She didn't know the truth, but she subconsciously didn't want to accept this reality.
Seeing Situ Yushuang's face was a little sad and confused, Sophia knew that her words had a great blow to the other party. She stood up and put on a coat for the other party, and said lightly: "Sister, although the girl's words were a bit harsh, they were indeed heartfelt words. My sister was originally a person who understood the most. Why bother to make things difficult for herself for impossible things? This world cannot be changed by anyone. What should come will always come. My sister might as well calm down, face the reality, and find a strategy that is more beneficial to the Situ family."
Sophia quietly pulled the door for the other party, and then she left sadly. She could imagine that the lights would be on in the study opposite tonight and someone could not sleep all night.
The endless plains look particularly vast under the blue sky, with high sky and light clouds. The autumn sun shines on the northern plains, but if you take a deep breath of fresh air, you can feel the bitter breath brought by the famine in the entire air. After suffering from a severe drought that has not been encountered for many years, the entire northern plain is trapped in a grain shortage. Some wealthy farmers who have accumulated have to use the saved rice and grain. The poor families seem to have the only way out to escape the famine except for selling their children and women.
A team of black like a long dragon that could not see the tail was winding forward. The scouts on both sides had already searched several miles along the road. In the blue-gray iron armor and a kite-shaped shield were in the flames embroidered on the battle robe of the same color. They were regular army soldiers of the Kaman Empire. It should be at least 30,000 people. A light cavalry of a 10,000 team was advancing rapidly along both sides of the moving infantry team. In the center were densely packed with baggage trucks. Although the carts of up to thousands were covered tightly with cloaks, the carts should be filled with food from deep wheel marks on the dry ground.
A short and strong infantry officer was standing by the road urging the transport vehicles to speed up so that the convoy could arrive at a market town sixty miles ahead before camping at night. However, the vehicle was overloaded and the road was in poor condition. From time to time, vehicles stopped due to damage to wheels or shafts, and the troops had to slow down.
"Damn it, let's follow this grain transport team to the north. Isn't this intention to torture people? At this speed, we have to walk to the Fanlin. I wonder if we have to walk to the Year of the Monkey and Horse Month? The area of hundreds of miles here is under our control. Could it be that someone will eat the bear heart and leopard gall to stroke the tiger's beard?" The short and strong officer complained impatiently to his companion who had just rode his horse from the flank, cursing and angry, "I don't know who came up with the bad idea to let our corps take on the escort mission, and the corps commander is too. It's great that we can march alone. We can reach Fanlin in a week. Now, if we take on this snail's crawling speed, it's unlikely that it will be difficult to get Fanlin in less than half a month, and people will be tortured crazy."
He smacked his lips with some envy. The armored officer riding on the horse took off his helmet and wiped the sweat beads on his forehead. He sighed mournfully: "You can't blame the commander of the corps. I heard that this was an order from Marshal Nick. This batch of food security must be sent to Fanlin. I heard that Fanlin's supply has to rely on the Tanghe people, and all the domestic supplies have been stopped. If we do this, we will have such a job in the future. All the monsters can only blame you and me for your luck. Who told you to draw this lottery? Every time you escort this grain transport team, you need to dispatch five thousand cavalry teams, and a team of ten thousand people to escort the formation. You have to take turns. I think they can't do such a job, except for the guys from the Royal Guards."
"Hmph, I think it's a waste of time. Lord Nick is becoming more and more careful. Although the people in the Western Xinjiang are very active in Nanjieluoke, they are not saying that they may be targeting Jiama and Fanlin? Why are we going to our corps to reinforce Jiama? The grain transport convoy has to go to Yulin City first, and then divert from Yulin to Fanlin westward. This is like a woman's timid family. It is at least five hundred miles away from Nanjieluoke. I don't believe that the people of Tanghe dare to go so far. If we cut off the way home, wouldn't they just die?!" The short and brave officer snorted from his nose with disdain and said angrily: "It's great, mobilize so many troops to escort, then will it be like this every time in the future? We have become grain transport teams, and you and I have become grain transport officers."
"Be careful when sailing for ten thousand years, it's better to be cautious." Perhaps due to the emotions of his superiors and the long slow marching, the infantry formation responsible for the formation of the front and rear wings seemed a little loose. The officer riding on the horse frowned slightly and reminded the other party with kind words: "You should just give me some advice. I see that your team is a little relaxed. Don't let the upper part see it. You can't afford to take it."
"Hehe, don't worry, the corps commander and the others have already walked in front. I'm afraid they have already entered Yulin City now. Who is so stupid here like us? You can also come down and rest for a while. Anyway, the speed of these grain transport teams is only this. It would be good to go to the market town in front tonight before dark." The short and brave officer shook his head disapprovingly and asked his companions to dismount.
After hesitating for a moment, the horse-riding officer finally got off the horse. He saw that no one was paying attention. Then he took out the cigarette box from his pocket and threw it to the other party. He lit the fire and took a sip. The green smoke slowly spurted out from the nostrils of the two, "Brother, this year, there is a severe drought in China. There is a shortage of food everywhere. I am very nervous about this batch of food. Brother, I dare not take it lightly. Fortunately, I will enter Yulin City tomorrow. After entering Yulin City, we can have a good rest."
"Oh, of course you are fine. There are four legs under your butt to travel. Our infantry is suffering. We have to move forward step by step. We are not afraid of marching, but we have to grind people to death at this speed, and we must maintain a defensive formation at any time. We are so nervous, who can stand it?" The short and strong officer looked tired and obviously hated this kind of marching: "Damn, the logistics department doesn't know what to do, and we can't find more vehicles, so we won't be able to overload the vehicle. Our speed can also be increased a lot."
"Hey, don't blame the logistics department. We have collected all the vehicles in Longquan, Heishan and Longquan, and used them all. The refugees also took away many vehicles. They didn't expect this at the time and were only concerned about driving these people away. Who knew that they would suddenly collect vehicles later?" Shaking their heads, the cavalry officer waved his hand and threw away the cigarette butts he had finished smoking and flew onto the horse, "Okay, it's almost done. I have to go around to check."
As the strong horse under the other party raised a wave of yellow dust, the short and powerful officer muttered contemptuously: "Bah, a small captain of Qianqiu is also qualified to play with me, you will be serious. I don't know what I was doing when I was in the army."
Then he let out a deep breath and roared: "Hurry up, damn, hurry up, do you guys do it if you haven't eaten? Come to the town ahead and let you eat enough!"
