Xiong Wuliang is leisurely and at ease.
Although the capital of Ying was large, it did not have a residence for the dignified Marquis Quyang. Fortunately, Xiong Wuliang did not have high requirements, so he randomly circled a piece of land and built three or five temporary houses, and it became the residence of the most popular Marquis Quyang in Chu State. Temporary palace.
Qu Yuan, Zhao Hua, Le Yi, Shen Dao and others all stayed in this temporary palace, correcting memorials day and night.
A small temporary residence has become the center of power of Chu State.
Densely packed memorials and documents flowed in and out from here... and were sent to every corner of the Chu Kingdom's thousands-mile territory.
Ahem, this has nothing to do with the lazy Marquis Quyang.
At this moment, Xiong Wuliang was boredly flipping through a bundle of old, moldy bamboo slips - this was one of the few surviving classics after the fire in Yingdu. The content was not important, but it only recorded anecdotes about a certain late king of Chu. Just an anecdote.
In addition, there are some collections of local chronicles, travel notes and other trivial things, which smell of staleness and have obviously not been read for many years.
Fortunately, it is relatively well preserved and the handwriting is still clear.
"There are strange beasts in Bashu, with black and white fur, majestic appearance, and infinite strength... They like to eat gold and iron, and their voices are as loud as thunder. They live in the bamboo forest..." Xiong Wuliang held up a book about a certain great Chu master who did not know how many years ago. I spent a long time pondering over the travel notes I left behind...
Horse riding, isn’t this a mythical beast and a national treasure?
Xiong Wuliang couldn’t laugh or cry...
However, reading these classics is still more or less useful - our ancestors who like to travel around the world seem to have discovered crude oil deposits in a mountain forest somewhere: '...the color is black and lustrous, its texture is sticky, and the surrounding grass is barren... …'
It's a pity that the specific location cannot be determined, otherwise this travelogue would be really worth thousands of dollars.
There are no entertainment items in this era. Reading these travel notes and anecdotes is a rare and interesting thing to pass the time... Xiong Wuliang put away the bamboo slips in his hand, rubbed his sore eyes, and took a long breath.
Recently, that little girl Ying Zhuo has been very cold.
Probably because of Xiong Wuliang's behavior in front of Wuguan, this 'dignified Princess of Qin' was a bit embarrassed...
Logically speaking, today's Chu State and Qin State can be called a blood feud... But Xiong Wuliang believes that this has nothing to do with Ying Zhuo - and when the latter was in Xianyang, he did not hesitate to risk his life for himself and threatened Wei Ran with a sword. …
Whenever Xiong Wuliang thinks of this, his heart feels warm.
If you get a wife like this, what else can a husband ask for?
The wedding ceremony was still being prepared... Logically speaking, Ying Zhuo should be waiting in Xianyang at this time. Xiong Wuliang took her over from Qin with full ceremony and great fanfare.
Funny things happen - Ying Zhuo is now in Chu State, and recalling the process, Xiong Wuliang almost 'robbed' her with soldiers.
Just as I was thinking in my mind, Ying Zhuo came. Today, Ying Zhuo was dressed in a red and white Chudi witch costume. His hair was tied up into a smooth braid with a thin red ribbon. There was a hairpin on his left waist. An uncarved iron sword made in Qin Dynasty, with a string of jade hanging on the right waist... What a handsome young lady!
"Eat." Ying Zhuo took out two pieces of warm pancakes from his arms and threw them to Xiong Wuliang expressionlessly, speaking concisely.
Xiong Wuliang reached out and grabbed the pancake firmly: "Thank you very much, bed warmer maid."
"You..." Ying Zhuo was furious for a moment. Looking at this lazy boy, he wanted to give him a kick.
Clearly in the midst of an army array, this Marquis Quyang could still put on a majestic and majestic appearance... Why did he behave like such a playboy in private?
Xiong Wuliang knew that she was arrogant and thin-skinned, so he laughed twice and started eating...
It's been a long time since I returned to the fiefdom. To be honest, Xiong Wuliang still misses Xiaoyi a little...
Facing Ying Zhuo, I still think about Xiaoyi... I am such a scumbag when I step on the horse!
I don't know how to face her when we meet again - no matter what, the cheap father-in-law's shocking betrayal will never be forgiven by Chu State.
This will also be a worry after next spring.
Winter is about to begin now... There are too many troubles, and it is not the time to be surprised and sad for the time being.
…
Just when Xiong Wuliang was thinking of this, he heard a series of hurried footsteps... Hearing these heavy and hurried footsteps, Xiong Wuliang's good mood stopped abruptly, and he almost covered his face and wanted to run away.
Qu Yuan's old face poked his head in from outside the door: "Greetings, my lord."
Xiong Wuliang's eyes were distracted... There was no need to think too much, this new Great Chu Ling Yin was here to ask for money again.
Sure enough, Qu Yuan coughed lightly: "Master, the money and food in the account are only enough for half a month."
"If we can't get money and food anymore... I'm afraid something big will happen!"
Xiong Wuliang asked: "What suggestions do you have?"
Qu Yuan said solemnly: "In my opinion, we must first reduce the relief provided to the refugees - if we cannot get money and food, we can only deduct their money and food, or even give up some people according to regions..."
This was the last resort. Qu Yuan would not have made such a suggestion if there was no other way.
The order is relatively stable now, but this is not the credit of the Quyang New Army and the Xiaoqi Army - how can the 20,000 soldiers in the huge Huainan Plain be taken care of?
It's just that the refugees now believe in Xiong Wuliang's credibility and believe in what Qu Yanghou said - enough money and food, and they can get through the winter honestly - so there is no chaos.
Once the relief money and food are withheld...the refugees lose confidence and will immediately start a commotion. rob each other, even attack and kill the government...
The consequences could be disastrous!
Qu Yuan continued in a deep voice: "Time is running out. If we don't act decisively, I'm afraid it will be too late -"
"The nobles and ministers in the country should have surplus food at home."
"You might as well ask them or borrow them..."
Qu Yuan's voice became smaller and smaller, obviously he also thought that these evil nobles would not contribute their money honestly...
Conflict among the families!
…
Generally speaking, when Qu Yuan was looking for Xiong Wuliang, Ying Zhuo would hide out.
Ying Zhuo moved a little slower today, but he happened to hear Qu Yuan's words. On his fair face, the corners of his beautiful mouth curled up slightly, and he smiled semi-tauntingly: "Qu Lingyin has a good plan. Those moths can let go easily." ?”
Qu Yuan nodded in agreement, then looked at Xiong Wuliang, a fierce light flashed in his eyes: "My lord...if they don't cooperate, it's better to send troops to rob them!"
Horse riding.
If I ask you for money, I am giving you face!
Since I gave you face, you have to give me face... If you don't give me face, I don't have to save face for you!
The whole country of Chu is in decline, and the 20,000 troops under Xiong Wuliang's command are a tyrannical force that is enough to suppress the whole country!
Dare you not pay?
Steal him!
…
Xiong Wuliang frowned.
Although our political IQ, Marquis Quyang, has never been very high, we also know that Qu Yuan's strategy is actually a bad one.
First of all, although the ministers of the Chu State now have a tense and resistant attitude towards Xiong Wuliang, they still maintain a superficial peace. If they really break up openly, the consequences will be serious given the number and strength of the nobles of the Chu State.
It's not a question of whether it can be defeated - it's that the impact is too bad.
Moreover, the nobles of Chu State are all very tall and have deep roots. Even if Xiong Wuliang has an absolute advantage in military strength, it will not be easy to completely eliminate these nobles.
What's more, once force is used, the situation in Chu, which is already in a severe situation due to the refugee problem, will become more complicated.
Secondly, robbery may not necessarily yield much - as long as the nobles dig a hole in the suburbs and hide the treasures, Xiong Wuliang will have a hard time finding them in his life.
Especially the most important food at the moment - as long as the fire goes down, Xiong Wuliang has been busy for a long time and has offended almost all the nobles, but still got nothing.
