Chapter 63: Threat from Anguo

"Bongxian, what do you think of these elites in front?"
Yue Chen pointed to the many dedicated troops who were hunting.
Lu Bu glanced at the soldiers indifferently, and said calmly, "It's acceptable."
On this matter, Mu Guiying and others came, and Yue Chen said to Mu Guiying: "Guiying, you can deploy a total of three hundred elites from the guards, and hand them over to form the team of the wolf riding camp.
Then select two hundred elites and hand them over to Wei Zhongxian.
Recruit other soldiers yourself. "
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
The two quickly worshipped.
When Yue Chen led the crowd back to Hongyan City, the sky was snowing.
As the cold wind roared outside the city, Yue Chen saw many refugees leaning against the city wall, their lips pale with cold.
Some women were wearing common clothes, hugging the baby, covering almost all the clothes on the baby, shaking with cold.
There was a little girl walking on the snow with bare feet, all dirty.
A woman with a nice face and a dirty face was crying with a baby in her arms. The woman picked up a ceramic shard on the ground, slowly cut her veins, and fed the baby with blood.
Densely densely packed, there may be tens of thousands of refugees.
Yue Chen's horse stopped and said to Zhang Zhao beside him: "This is what you said, the new refugee who arrived three days ago?"
"Yes!"
Zhang Zhaodao.
Yue Chen said: "Why not let them enter the city?"
Zhang Zhao worshipped: "His Royal Highness is kind, and his ministers are not ruthless.
However, Hongyan City is small and there are not many supplies, and once people are hungry, everything can be done.
Your Royal Highness, the minister has seen someone change their children and eat.
The minister originally planned to open a porridge market to serve porridge first, and organize them to reclaim wasteland when the spring begins next year. "
Eating from one child to another is to exchange one's own child for another child and then eat it.
Just because the children who eat themselves can't eat.
Yue Chen once read and talked about a few records in history books.
But in reality, it is far from an understatement.
Cannibalism, how courage should be.
However, people who are hungry can really do everything, and these people who are thrown into the city indiscriminately will become extremely unstable factors.
"Zibu, what you said makes sense.
However, they must not be allowed to starve to death! "
Yue Chen said, "Send the order to Lu Bu and Wei Zhongxian, let them come here to select the troops first, the rest, you can organize the rest, let them transport the body of the monster, now, send someone to let them eat."
The corpses piled up like a mountain in the Black Forest must be transported by someone. These people can do these things temporarily.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Zhang Zhao worshipped.
Immediately, Zhang Zhao rushed forward and said loudly to the many refugees: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty will build a warm residence for you, give you food, and give you the opportunity to earn food and clothing, so thank you soon. "
The refugees felt a little shock when they heard this, but it was limited to this. Most people still watched blindly.
If it were not for the ruthlessness of the rulers, they would not have gone to such a remote corner of Hongyan City.
Those who can run here are still stubborn people, and many people have died on the road.
The whole Chuzhou has entered winter in an all-round way.
During the winter, all countries will temporarily repair their troops and recuperate, so that they will continue to wage wars after the beginning of the spring.
In winter, soldiers will also feel war-weary. In such a cold winter, no one wants to brave the wind and snow to fight the enemy.
In this season, the soldiers would exchange their salaries for small wine, hide in a warm hut for a pot of wine, and three or two friends would chat and brag.
In this season, the skin and meat market will also be very hot. Single soldiers are too idle. They are willing to pay a price for a warm bed.
In short, no one will go to war in such a season.
In the study, Yue Chen drew a drawing of a triangular hook with a brush. After drying the ink, he handed him to Xun Yu and said, "Organize a blacksmith, and create this immediately.
I want at least 100 guards for every guard. "
"Yes!"
Xun Yu left with the drawings.
The next morning, Yue Chen received a report from Wei Zhongxian that an envoy from Anguo asked to see him.
Envoy of Anguk?
Come back so soon?
If you think about it carefully, if you border Anguo, five days will be enough.
Yue Chen received the Anguo envoy in the hall.
"Chen, Xiang Yitian, the envoy of Anguo, pay respect to His Highness."
The Anguo envoy salutes.
"Free gift!"
Yue Chen said loudly, "What did the messenger say?"
The messenger said with a serious face: "This time the foreign minister is here to deliver a letter of credence to His Royal Highness. Please read it."
Immediately, the messenger took out a roll of yellow cloth from his arms and handed it to Yue Chen.
Yue Chen took the yellow cloth given by Wei Zhongxian, and then slowly looked at it: "I heard that Hongyan City had a great victory, I would like to congratulate Brother Yue Chen.
However, despite the defeat of the Qing Dynasty, the power of the tiger is still there, and the virtuous brother's Hongyan City is still an isolated island.
I have heard that it is difficult for the virtuous brother to buy grain and grass. If I don't dislike it, I am willing to exchange the grain for the only weapon and armor hidden by the virtuous brother.
To solve the urgency of Xian brother. "
A thousand stones?
A thousand stones! When Yue Chen heard the words, he couldn't help but be overwhelmed with anger. He squinted at Anguo's messenger and sneered: "Your Majesty, is this when I beg for food?"
The messenger said indifferently: "Our lord provides assistance in times of crisis, and it is really a charcoal in the snow. His Highness is not grateful and even speaks against each other. The foreign minister does not know what his Highness means."
"Hehehe, send charcoal in the snow!"
Yue Chen sneered, "Then go back and tell your Lord, I, Yue Chen, is very angry and the consequences are serious."
These armors, Yue Chen had already let Lan Ling'er estimate that if they were replaced with grain, five thousand stones could be easily exchanged.
Even if you let them take advantage of it, three thousand stones is almost the same.
Now, even wanting to give only one thousand stones, this is a pitfall.
If it hadn't been for Yue Chen to develop the Black Forest Mountains and hunt a lot of prey, he would really have his neck strangled and he would have to sell it.
"Hahahaha!"
Upon hearing this, the messenger laughed to Yi Tian, ​​"My lord sits on tens of millions of land, and there are more than a million soldiers under his command. Those who can fight are like crucian carp who cross the river.
I don't know where the courage of your Highness comes from, dare to speak such words. "
"Oh!"
Yue Chen grinned and said, "So, you can take advantage of the fire to rob?"
"His Royal Highness misunderstood."
The messenger narrowed his smile again and said with a serious face, "Now, only my lord is willing to buy your armor and provide you with food.
Hongyan City does not produce much food, and the world knows this. At this moment, Hongyan City is afraid that it has run out of food.
A thousand stones, food and grass, can solve the urgent need of your Highness. Isn't this what it means to give charcoal in the snow? "
Yue Chen sneered in his heart, staring at the messenger, and said: "If I don't change it?"
The messenger's complexion remained unchanged, and said solemnly: "If your lord does not receive the kindness of my lord, my lord will be very disappointed.
I also think that His Highness intends to be an enemy of Anguo. "
This is a blatant threat because strong buying and selling cannot be achieved.
