Chapter 583: Stalemate (3)

In Yucheng, there are very few fresh vegetables in winter. However, this winter, Yuxi's table has more dishes than before.

Looking at the crisp tender cucumbers, Yuxi said with a smile: "Go and eat sweet and sour cucumbers." "These vegetables were purchased by Han Ji from a wealthy merchant in Tan Binh City, who had a greenhouse. Of course, these vegetables were originally grown for their own food.

A quarter of an hour later, Mama Huang brought over a plate of sweet and sour cucumbers. Yuxi eats very regularly on weekdays, but this time he couldn't hold back and ate the whole plate of cucumbers in one go.

After eating, Yuxi took a handkerchief to wipe his mouth, and said with a smile: "I don't need to eat at noon." "It was so delicious.

Mother Qu said: "Madam, these dishes sent by Xinping City are still a little monotonous, and they are not fresh, let's build a greenhouse by ourselves next year!" "From Xinping City to Yucheng, it takes two days to travel day and night, so this dish is naturally not fresh. In fact, if Qu's mother said, it doesn't cost too much money to build a greenhouse!

Yuxi shook his head and said, "No, it's good to taste it once in a while." "She's in Yucheng, and she can't stay too long. Once the plan is successful, it is time to leave Yucheng. So, it's really unnecessary to get any kind of greenhouse.

After eating such a big stack of sweet and sour cucumbers, Yuxi only ate a bowl of green vegetable porridge at noon, and couldn't eat anything else.

Yun Qing couldn't look at it, so he put a piece of greasy beef into Yuxi's bowl and said, "Eat more meat." "Yunqing is a carnivore, although he eats some vegetables every time he listens to Yuxi's words, but his favorite thing is meat!

Yuxi said disgustedly: "You eat it yourself, I want to eat it." "Not only does Yunqing like to eat meat, but it also has a strong taste. Yuxi's diet is mainly light, and he originally wanted to transform Yunqing, but it ended in failure. However, Yuxi is not a domineering person, the two have different tastes, and the dishes on the table are half light and half are what Yunqing likes to eat, which is also balanced.

How could Yunqing not know Yuxi's problem, and said, "This girl must be a picky eater." At this point, jujube is very good. ”

Yuxi couldn't help but complain and said, "What's good? It's not like you. "Zao Zao is also a meatless and unhappy lord, but the only difference is that what Zao Zao eats now is decided by Yuxi, and he can't be his own master.

Seeing this, Yun Qing hurriedly said, "Don't say it, eat, eat." ”

Yuxi especially likes to eat with Yunqing, and she has a good appetite when she watches Yunqing eat. But when it's time to talk, you still have to say: "Eat slowly, I've told you how many times, but I always don't listen." "Eating is like someone grabbing it, gobbling it up. However, Yuxi's chatter was still useful, and after a long time, Yunqing ate not as fast as before.

Four dishes and one soup, in the case that Yuxi has no combat effectiveness, there are not many dishes left on the table.

After eating, the two went back to the house to talk. Yun Qing said: "I just got the news that the rebels have retreated to Nancheng. Ji Xuan couldn't attack it for a long time, and now he is in a state of stalemate. Yunqing knew that Ji Xuan wouldn't fight, so he didn't say anything nonsense.

Yuxi frowned and said, "The strength of the rebels is still good. "The fact that they were able to retreat to Nancheng with their whole body is enough to see their ability.

Yun Qing said: "The combat effectiveness of the rebels is much worse than that of the regular army, but their morale is very high, and they are not afraid of death. If it weren't for the spirit of not being afraid of death, these people would have perished.

Yuxi told the truth in one word: "As far as Ji Xuan is concerned, ordinary people can be killed, and these rebels can still have a good one in his hands." It's all death anyway, it's better to fight to the death. ”

Yun Qing agreed with this and said: "Ji Xuan ordered that all the rebels who were captured should be executed on the spot. Ji Xuan did this in order to deter the surrounding people and bandits, so that they would not dare to act rashly. But the disadvantage of this is that these rebels don't want to fight at all. is also because the disparity in strength between the two sides is too great, otherwise it is really impossible to say who will lose and who will win.

When Yuxi heard this, his face was ugly. Looking at Yun Qing and said, "He Rui, killing prisoners is the most immoral and has great consequences. In the future, you must not kill prisoners. "Killing prisoners not only bears the charge of murder, but also makes those who have the talent to stay away from them. Just look at Yun Qing, as a second-grade general, but he can't even recruit a decent staff.

The consequences of killing the prisoner Yuxi told Yunqing many times, mainly because Yunqing's reputation for slaughtering the city in his previous life was too great, which made Yuxi have a psychological shadow, so he chattered twice.

Yun Qing said: "Don't worry, I won't kill the captives in the future." "The reason why Yun Qing was so murderous in his previous life was that he couldn't help but be in love, and secondly, Huo Changqing, Xu Wu and several other brothers were also killed by the Northern Captives, and he had a bitter hatred for the Northern Captives. Now, he has been talked about by Yuxi, and most of Huo Changqing and most of the brothers around him are doing well, so his mentality has naturally changed. It's just that, Yuxi doesn't know.

Yuxi said: "If you can't do it yourself, you have to let your subordinates do it too." "The reputation of killing prisoners is too ugly to say, it is not an exaggeration to say that it has been left behind for thousands of years.

Yunqing smiled and said, "Don't worry, they don't dare." "He gave the order that no prisoners should be killed, and no one dared to disobey the order.

Xu Wu said outside: "General, the Tan Governor of Xinping City sent someone to send a letter over. Tan Tuo has Yunqing as his backing, and he is no longer afraid to do things. All kinds of drawbacks and bad practices in Tan Binh City will be eliminated. Under his rule, Xinping City has doubled its taxes compared to previous years, which is not something that ordinary people can do.

After reading the letter, Yunqing handed the letter to Yuxi with an expressionless face and said, "Look at it! "This year's harvest in various places is not good, and there is less grain in Xinping City, and many people have no food for the winter. Tan Tuo knew that Yunqing had food in his hands, so he wanted to borrow 30,000 stones of grain to help the people in the city.

After reading the letter, Yuxi smiled and said, "Tan Tuo loves the people like a son. "Dare to open your mouth to borrow military rations, this courage is really not small!

Yun Qing heard this and said, "With the grain and grass in our hands, it is more than enough to eat until the beginning of spring next year!" Coupled with the batch of grain in the hands of Feng Dajun, they can be eaten until next summer's harvest. The meaning of these words is clear: this grain can be borrowed.

Yuxi shook his head and said, "This grain can't be borrowed." "It's not that she's cold-blooded and ruthless, it's that she can't set this precedent. There are no rules, and you can't break the rules.

Yunqing was a little surprised, what Yuxi said just now, he thought he had agreed to borrow grain: "If you don't borrow grain, the people of Xinping City will starve to death because of lack of food." "Naturally, it is impossible for Yunqing to change from killing gods to being a good person. When he said this, he was just reminding Yuxi that he would blame himself for saving Yuxi in the future.

Yuxi said: "Good deeds must be done, but it also depends on the situation." Our food is of great use. "If you have food, even if you recruit soldiers in the future, you won't have to worry about not having enough to eat.

Yunqing will agree to borrow grain, also because of Yuxi. Since Yuxi was unwilling, he naturally stopped talking about it.

Tan Tuo got the news a few days later and knew that Yunqing and Yuxi refused to borrow food. Tan Tuo asked, "Who refused?" ”

The person who delivered the letter said: "It was General Yun who refused. General Yun said that there is no such precedent. This reason is reasonable.

Tan Tuo asked, "What about Mrs. Yun?" What does Mrs. Yun say? ”

The person who came shook his head and said, "This lowly position is not clear, and the lowly position has not seen Mrs. Yun." "Only the army asked the local government for money and grain, and their prefect dared to ask General Yun for food, although they didn't borrow grain, their prefect was still a cow. Others, but don't have the guts.

After Tan Tuo waved down, he said, "Go down!" "Tan Tuo borrowed grain this time, but he was actually tempting. He felt that Yun Qing's behavior was very abnormal, for example, the eight hundred cavalry sent out had been out for several months, and they had not yet returned. In addition, the third batch of grain has been on the road for half a year, and it has not yet arrived, and all kinds of signs have made Tan Tuo have a bad guess.

Tan Ming looked at his master Yan SΓΉ's expression and said, "My lord, there is still some grain stored in the warehouse, as long as it is properly placed, there should not be too many deaths." In July, Tan Tuo sent people to Taiyuan to buy a batch of grain. Although the amount is not large, there are some reserves.

Tan Tuo shook his head and said, "I'm not worried about this. "It's very difficult to rule without freezing to death and starving to death.

Tan Ming was a little strange and asked, "What are you worried about?" ”

Tan Tuo said: "I'm worried about Yun Qing and Mrs. Yun. Seeing Tan Ming's puzzled look, Tan Tuo said, "I'm worried that they are planning the entire northwest. ”

Tan Ming was taken aback, but after thinking about it seriously, he felt that it was reasonable. Tan Ming said: "My lord, if this is the case, then wouldn't the people of the northwest have a good life." ”

Tan Tuo didn't expect to get such a reply: "How can you be sure that they will succeed?" "If Yunqing and his wife really plan to go to the northwest, the people will indeed have a good life, which Tan Tuo does not deny. But if you rebel against this, you will have to lose your head if you are not careful.

Tan Ming said with a smile; "How powerful General Yun is, where is Ji Xuan's opponent of General Yun." Yunqing is so powerful in battle, as soon as he sends out troops, Ji Xuan will finish the game immediately.

Tan Tuo shook his head and said, "Where is it so easy!" In addition to Ji Xuan, there are also rebels! "And if Yunqing rules the northwest by improper means, the imperial court will definitely send a large army to suppress it.

Tan Ming felt that Tan Tuo was too worried: "My lord, if the army of the imperial court is useful, the northwest will not be like this." Listening to the words, you can know that Tan Ming is a loyal fan of Yunqing.

After hearing this, a relaxed smile appeared on Tan Tuo's face and said, "Sometimes, you really shouldn't think too much. "If you think too much, you will end yourself in a dead end.

Tan Ming said: "My lord, it is not our turn to worry about the affairs of General Yun and his wife. You're supposed to worry more about the big girl. "The eldest girl will be nineteen after the New Year, and she hasn't decided on a family yet, and her wife is about to die.

Tan Tuo said: "Now is not the time. "He's actually a Yunqing person now. If Yunqing rebels and succeeds, he will naturally rise to the top, and his daughter will be able to have a good family affair at that time. As for failure, life is going to be gone, and there is no need to say anything else.

Tan Tuo suddenly realized and said, "It turns out that adults think so long-term!" "It's also the lady's temperament, otherwise the adults wouldn't hide it from her.
