Yuan Zhao four years came to an end, Li Xin and several brothers in Qiyang County for the New Year, and at this time outside the Northern Frontier Pass of the Great Jin Dynasty, Yan Wang Yu Wenzhao, wearing a purple robe, holding a copper telescope in his hand, was looking at Yunzhou City not far away.

Over the years, the technology of making glass in the Great Jin Dynasty has slowly matured, and the telescope is no longer a rare thing that can be ground out with the best water jade, but this thing is still controlled by the official control of the Great Jin Dynasty because of its great role on the battlefield.

However, the clairvoyant mirror is really easy to use, this thing has only been in his hands for more than half a year, and it is about to be pulped.

Yu Wenzhao slowly put down the monocular clairvoyant in his hand and looked at the Yunzhou City where he was standing, his eyes thoughtful.

Behind him, stood the eldest son Yuwen Di, Yuwen Di saw his father put down the clairvoyant mirror, and said: "Father, the Ji family's court is very dissatisfied with our harassment of their border, and has issued a holy decree to appeal to my father, saying that if there is any more misconduct on the border, in the spring of next year, the Great Jin Dynasty will do its best to attack our department in the north." ”

"Northern Expedition?"

Yuwen Zhao stroked his beard and sneered: "Now there is a Li Chang'an in the southwest, who has restrained the Ji family with more than 100,000 troops, and their Gyeonggi Forbidden Army can't move lightly, why should they go on a northern expedition?" By the mouth of that little ghost of the Ji family? ”

Yuwen Di stood with his hands down, silent.

Yu Wenzhao picked up the clairvoyant mirror again and looked into the distance, then reached out and wiped the dust on the clairvoyant mirror with his sleeve, put it back into his arms, looked back at his eldest son, and said, "I have already asked you to find a way to contact Li Xin, have you contacted him?" ”

"Nope."

Yuwen Di shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Father, our people have different appearances from the Han people, and the place where Mrs. Li lives is full of people from the Great Jin Dynasty, so it is impossible to contact him, and I can't talk to him." ”

"Then find some Han people to contact him."

"Tell him that we just want to get back the homeland of the Great Zhou, as long as he is willing to cooperate with our department, after the matter is completed, the Great Zhou will rule with him by dividing the river, and they will always be a brotherly state, and they will not offend each other."

Yu Wenzhao's face was expressionless: "If you can't do it, you can go in person, and there is no difference between you and the Han people." ”

After the Xianbei Department entered the customs in the early years, it intermarried with the Han people, although the royal family generally did not marry the Han people as the main family, but after the fall of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, this rule did not exist, from Yuwen Chui to Yu Wen Zhao, all married a lot of Han women, and his eldest son Yu Wendi's mother was a Han person.

Therefore, Yuwen Di has straight hair and black eyes, and looks very much like a Han person.

Yuwen Di smiled bitterly and said, "Father......"

He was naturally reluctant to go, he went to the capital before he was in danger, and at this time, the relationship between the Yuwen Ministry and the imperial court had begun to deteriorate, and if he went to the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty, it was very likely that he would be caught by the people of the imperial court as a proton.

And he knew very well in his heart that once he was arrested as a proton, his father would not even look at him, he had more than a dozen brothers, and it was impossible for his father to compromise anything with the Great Jin Imperial Court at this time because of him.

What's more important is that the legendary Mrs. Li is not very friendly to the Xianbei Department, and he went to Yongzhou to find him through most of the Great Jin, maybe he will be cut down by him, and the northern Xinjiang is far from Yongzhou, and there is no place to cry!

What's more, he is the eldest son of Yuwen Zhao, if nothing else, he will inherit the family business of Yuwen in the future, if his father is "successful", he will inherit the throne of the Northern Zhou Dynasty in the future, naturally it is impossible to be willing to do such a risky thing!

Yuwen Zhao glared at his son, and said coldly: "If you let you go, you will go, this thing is done, you are the next patriarch, you can't do it......"

Speaking of this, Yuwen Zhao snorted and did not say any more.

In desperation, this "Prince of Yanwang" could only nod helplessly, and bowed deeply to his father: "Son, go and prepare." ”

Yu Wenzhao nodded, looked at Yunzhou City for a while, then turned over and rode for more than ten miles, and returned to his royal tent.

The royal tent of the Yuwen Ministry was originally very far away from Yunzhou City, and next to Yunzhou City was the Qigui Department among the Yuwen Ministry, but the Qigui Department had been annexed by Yuwen Zhao, so he could naturally be wherever he wanted.

After returning to the king's tent, the three strong men with beards had been waiting for a long time, and after seeing Yu Wenzhao come in, they all supported their shoulders with one hand and saluted Yu Wenzhao.

Yu Wenzhao didn't say anything, just waved his hand lightly.

"Sit down and talk."

These people are the leaders of the three other Yuwen tribes, but it is obvious that they are no longer the original few people, Yuwen Zhao unified the Yuwen tribes, but the ministries have been independent for decades, and it is not convenient for him to directly interfere in the internal affairs of the tribes, so after subduing the ministries, a new leader was established in the ministries to help him rule the ministries.

After they all sat down, Yu Wenzhao glanced at the three people and slowly spoke: "Everyone is here today, and everything will be raised and resolved." ”

As soon as these words came out, the leader of the Futu Department was the first to speak, and after he saluted Yuwen Zhao, he said: "Heavenly King, the growth of the pasture this year is not very good, there are not many livestock, and there are not too many furs to exchange food with the Han people, and the grain of our department is almost exhausted, so I ask the Heavenly King to transfer some food over to help our department survive this winter......"

Yu Wenzhao frowned deeply.

His headquarters is not short of grain for the winter, but this year's pasture is really not very good, there are not many livestock, and there are not many natural ones that can be slaughtered.

Yuwen Zhao glanced around and said, "The Futu Department is short of food, and the two patriarchs will support some?" ”

The leader of the Heran Department lowered his head and sighed: "Don't hide it from the Heavenly King, I originally wanted to ask the Heavenly King for food, but the Futu Department said it first, so I was embarrassed to open my mouth, and I was ready to carry this winter." ”

Yu Wenzhao looked at the other younger leader.

The leader of the beggar tribe also had a wry smile on his face.

"Heavenly King, if it weren't for the fact that life couldn't go on, how could our department go to the vicinity of Yunzhou City to rob the Han people? How fierce the family is, you don't know how fierce the Heavenly King is......"

"So you don't have any food."

Yu Wenzhao closed his eyes, and after being silent for a while, he slowly spoke: "This king can divide some of the grain and livestock from the headquarters and transfer them to the Futu Department, and everyone will tighten their belts and survive this winter." ”

Saying that, Yuwen Zhao narrowed his eyes and slowly spoke: "But it's not without conditions, after the beginning of spring, the Qigui Department will allocate 10,000 people, and the Futu Department and the Helan Department will each transfer 30,000 people to the hands of this king." ”

The three leaders looked at each other, all a little surprised.

"The King of Heaven wants to ...... Do what? ”

Yu Wenzhao exhaled slowly.

"Naturally, I went to grab food for the tribesmen to eat."

His vision is much more than these people, these people think that the ranch is not growing well, and the livestock and grain will not be enough, but Yu Wenzhao knows very well that this year's pasture, livestock is not much different from previous years.

The difference is ...... There are more people.

From the first year of Yuan Zhao to the present, the population of the Ubunbu has been growing rapidly.

The Yan King of the Northern Frontier walked out of the king's tent, half-squinted, looked to the south, and muttered to himself.

"Food...... It's not enough to eat. ”
