Liu Kun snorted coldly and said, "Daoming, what you said may not be unreasonable, but I won't take it." (Please search, the novel is better and faster!) Do you know why? ”

"The last general is ignorant and ignorant of the truth."

Liu Kun groaned and said: "In the sixth year of Taishi, the Xianbei bald tree in Hexi was reversed, and the siege of Qinzhou assassinated Shi Hu Lie in Wanhudui, and Sima Liang, the king of Fufeng, sent the general Liu Qi to lead the army to rescue. Liu Qi patrolled for dozens of days and did not enter, and Hu Lie was not in the army. In the seventh year of Yuankang, the people of Qi Wannian rebelled, and General Jianwei led the army to attack it. However, the friendly Zhenwei general Lu Bo and Yongzhou Assassin Shi Xie were afraid of the enemy, and they talked about the enemy, but in fact, they only took self-preservation. Everywhere he fought but failed. ”

"The country is corrupted, mostly because the courtiers have no heart to die. Jingyang, Bashu and other places are full of thieves, and it is not because they are timid and afraid of the enemy. And what about merging states? If Sima Teng could be in the enemy's position and show the whole army to fight to the death, would the situation still be so erosive? Liu Kun walked back and forth on the top of the boulder for a few steps, taking a deep breath.

"Although we have a small victory over the Huns, the outnumbered enemy has not changed. The prestige of the imperial court is far from being restored, and there are many hesitants in various places. At this time, if I run the northern counties and think that I am retreating, what will the military and civilians think? He spoke loudly, with a look of indignation: "Uncle Fang is the hope of the military and people of the state and county, and since he is responsible for one side, he must have the consciousness of fighting to the death, so that the army and the people can share the same hatred of the enemy." Jinyang is the seat of the state administration, and I was appointed to be the state assassin history stationed here. When the enemy comes, I should draw my sword and fight. If I do not retreat, the whole army will not dare to retreat; If we have no intention of advancing or retreating, the whole army will have the determination to fight to the death. In this way, Fang is the way to defend the land. ”

Just like during the Battle of Jinyang, Yue Shigong always chose to confront the enemy head-on, never flinching. Such a strong as a tiger and as hard as iron character is really unique among the states and counties of the Great Jin Dynasty today. 6 Yao was slightly worried in his heart. Lao Dan said: If the soldiers are strong, they will be destroyed, and if the wood is strong, they will be broken. As a member of the military and civilians of Bingzhou, being too strong and self-conscious is not necessarily a good thing.

But he still couldn't help but be intimidated by Liu Kun's heroic spirit, and couldn't help but salute deeply: "Yes!" "In this dark age when people's hearts are in danger, how many people can be there who do not care about selfish interests, have the courage to do anything, and dare to turn the tide? With just these few words, Liu Kun is worthy of being a hero to be recited by later generations.

Liu Kun looked at 6 Yao, who was bowing and saluting, and seemed to be a little hesitant. After a while, he said slowly: "...... Of course, concentrating on Taiyuan is not entirely for this reason. ”

"Dare to ask the lord for advice."

"This time our army won the Jinyang War, although the soldiers sacrificed their lives and forgot their lives, they also relied on the power of Tuoba Xianbei. A month ago, Tuoba Yi Lu sent an envoy to report, intending to obtain the title of the prince of the imperial court, and asked for a fief of hundreds of miles in the five counties of Mayi, Yinguan, Loufu, Fanyi, and Lao. ”

"What?" 6 Haruka couldn't help but be taken aback. Mayi and other five counties include most of Yanmen County, this area is connected to the upper valley in the east, the south is connected to Heng, the Yellow River in the west, and the desert in the north, which is the key place and the place of beauty in the border corner of the Great Jin Dynasty. Since Tuoba Yilu covets this, it is difficult to realize the operation of Xinxing and Yanmen.

However, Tuoba Yilu's quest for the five counties of Yanmen is precisely a historical fact that 6 Yao remembers clearly. What shocked him was that according to historical records, Tuoba Yilu obtained the land of five counties from Liu Kun in the fourth year of Yongjia, and then was canonized as the acting prince by the imperial court, forming the first feudal regime of Tuoba Xianbei. But it should be an incident that Yongjia was born in four years, why has it already appeared at this moment? Don't...... Could it be that the butterfly effect is already happening?

6 Haruka is a traverser. Although the knowledge from the afterlife has not brought him much benefit in the situation of killing each other for months, since he is a traverser, he will always rely on familiarity with the historical process in his bones. But now...... He suddenly felt like a drowning man, as if in the midst of this turbulent world, the boat he was in could no longer see the direction.

He struggled to collect his thoughts, recalling all he knew about the era. After all, 6 Yao in his previous life was just barely a history buff, and those chaotic memory fragments were tumbling in his mind, which seemed to be useful, but it seemed to be useless.

After a while, 6 shook his head violently, throwing these cranky thoughts out of his mind. In this world where life and death are on the line, why bother thinking about those tricks? As long as you can see the general trend of the world, you are already a hundred times more fortunate than others; As for the minutiae...... No matter how difficult the future is, I will only take the knife and cut it down.

But I heard Liu Kun say: "That's right, I don't think it's okay!" But then ......"

6 Yao suddenly sweated, and he was so distracted that he didn't pay attention to Yue Shigong's conversation at all. He hurriedly restrained his spirit and listened carefully to Liu Kun's continuation: "During the previous Jinyang War, Yilu recruited all the troops he could mobilize, and such a move was dissatisfied with the Tuoba Lu officials in the east, so his position in the Tuoba Xianbei clan became more and more precarious. That's why he wanted to graze horses in the land of the five counties, but because of this, there would be no way to reflect the results of his troops...... Hehe......" Liu Kun sneered: "Even so, it is inconvenient for me to operate Yanmen Xinxing and other places, so I will have my own district in the future." ”

At the time of these few words, the sky became darker and darker, and the mountain road was already blurred. But Liu Kun still didn't seem to have any intention of going down the mountain.

6 Yao waited silently behind Liu Kun. Seeing that Wang Xiu and the others under the mountain signaled again and again, 6 Yao had to open his mouth to persuade: "Lord, the gate of Jinyang City will be closed, why don't you turn around as soon as possible?" ”

"TD waits." Liu Kun looked into the distance, and didn't know what he was thinking, and suddenly said: "After repelling Liu Yuan this time, I went to the imperial court, not only to report the victory, but also to report the embarrassing situation in the state, and ask the imperial court for support and relief. At that time, I proposed that the amount of materials that needed the support of the imperial court was 5 million hu, 5 million horses of silk, and 5 million catties of cotton. ”

Liu Kun's language always gave people a sense of jumping, and he talked about asking the court for relief again. 6 Haruka heard this, and suddenly his spirits perked, as if he sensed that the true purpose of his recruitment was about to be revealed.

The circulation of goods in the last years of the Western Jin Dynasty was not reached, and there was no record of coinage in the history books. The materials in bulk circulation are nothing more than grains, silk, cotton, salt and iron. There is a slight output of salt and iron near Jinyang, which is not depleted for the time being; Yue Shigong asked the court for three other items. Grains are important food for military and civilian needs; Silk, which was the general equivalent used for circulation at that time; Cotton, on the other hand, is the material used to make clothing, armor, flags, etc.

"In the past few years, natural disasters have continued in Bingzhou, and the people are poor and scattered, and there is not one out of ten. The lord was stationed in Jinyang for several months of hard work before he slightly recovered his vitality, and he was empty due to the invasion of the Xiongnu. Thinking about it this way, it is really helpless to make such a request to the imperial court. 6 Haruka answered.

"Today, the king of the East China Sea has a letter. The letter said that the imperial court was scarce and could not provide for the needs of the state. Liu Kun was full of ridicule.

6 Haruka jumped up in surprise: "Why is the King of the East Sea so ridiculous? ”

How important is Jinyang's strategic position? Whether the Jinyang army can suppress the Hu people is simply a matter of life and death for the Luoyang court, which has been repeatedly threatened by the Xiongnu at this moment. The king of the East China Sea, as a contemporary hero who has gained the central power by the heroes, will never fail to see this. But now is really when the Jinyang Army is in urgent need of the imperial court's support, why is the imperial court so stingy?

"Although I am confident that I can pacify the Xiongnu without the help of the imperial court. It's just that they use such words to fool me Liu Yueshi, but they can't help but think I'm too stupid. Liu Kun sneered again and again. Liu Kun himself is an important minister under the command of the king of the East China Sea, and his brother Liu Yu is one of the "three talents of Yuefu" who is in charge of secrets, and he has his own unique news channel. 6 Yao didn't dare to interject, and listened quietly.

It turned out that a few months ago, Sima Teng, the former assassin of Bingzhou, said to the court on the way to Yecheng that it was the middle of winter on the road, and the snow was several feet on the flat ground, and only Xu Fangyuan, the abbot of the camp gate, did not melt the snow. So he sent people to dig a few feet into the ground and get a jade horse about a foot high. Those who knew it thought it was auspicious, so they dedicated it to the court. The king of the East China Sea was deeply admired, so he entered Sima Teng as the new king of Cai, the general of the chariot cavalry, and the military governor of Yecheng.

Sima Teng was the town of Yecheng, and the king of the East China Sea took it as the barrier of Luoyang, and the elite soldiers and strong generals, grain and materials were all sent from the best. The fleet, chariots, horses, and people's fleets stretched for dozens of miles, and roughly estimated, their number was several times that of Liu Kun's requirements.

Liu Kun fought to the death in Bingzhou, and even retreated from the enemy soldiers in person at the head of the city, and countless soldiers spilled their blood on the battlefield in exchange for a difficult victory. After the war, he only received a few empty official title rewards, but Sima Teng, the incompetent brother of the king of the East China Sea, was rewarded with high officials and received financial assistance from the imperial court.

The court and the king of the East China Sea turned out to be like this, no wonder Liu Kun galloped after getting the news. If you don't vent like this, you can't get rid of the depression in your heart. Such news could not even be disclosed to the soldiers casually, otherwise there was almost a risk of provoking a mutiny.

Liu Kun sighed and said: "Daoming, you said that you have to run Yanmen and Xinxing counties. That's why I don't take it. If there is abundant military resources, it is not unavoidable; But now I only have tens of thousands of displaced people to be fed, and the food and straw are only enough to maintain the bare minimum. In this case, am I sending troops to the second county? Or drive the hungry away? In addition to cash-for-work and the construction of Jinyang City, there is nothing else to do, right? ”

6 Yao naturally knew that what Yue Shigong said was right, but he could only be silent.

The king of the East China Sea said in the letter that Jinyang and Yecheng are like lips and teeth, and it is natural for them to help each other. If I Jinyangguo is in trouble, I can send someone to ask King Xincai for help. Hehe, I have also corresponded with Sima Teng, and I know that with this gentleman's habits, it is really difficult to snatch food from his mouth. But since the king of the East China Sea said this, if I don't send people to Yecheng, it will seem to be too strong......"
