After Ansazan heard Ba Simin's sigh, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
I, Beidi, will be subjugated?
impossible!
I have millions of people in Beidi. No matter how big his appetite is, can he eat it?
At most... at most, my vitality is seriously injured...
Even... it can be regarded as laying the root of disaster for Da Zhou!
It seems that he saw the coldness in Anzazan's eyes
Ba Simin chuckled
"Your Majesty, I want to ask you something. Ji Haoyue has been in power ever since. Do you think she is a wanton person?"
"In other words, Ji Haoyue is the ignorant master who cannot see the hidden dangers of our Beidi people moving into Kyushu."
Hearing this, Anzazan remained silent.
Ba Simin sighed again, "She's not."
"Everything she does must be interconnected."
"If this is not what I expected, she must have made preparations in Youzhou."
"I guess that the carriages and horses in Youzhou are probably ready to go."
"Just wait for my people from Beidi to enter the customs, and then disperse to all over Jiuzhou."
"From now on, we can see mountains and rivers..."
When Anzazan heard this, his eyes were filled with anger. After a long sigh, he asked in a hissing voice
"Does the Imperial Master have any good ideas?"
Ba Simin chuckled, "Good strategy? Doesn't the king already have a good strategy in mind?"
"What's more, this is an aboveboard plan. Only those who are aboveboard can return it."
"A good strategy? A good strategy is for the king to let the people of Beidi see that you are more worthy of their loyalty than the princess of Dazhou, and you can give more than Dazhou."
"Then, my lord, can you do it?"
Anzazan was completely speechless
Ba Simin knew that Beidi had a weak foundation. But they still have the strength to bite the bullet and deal with this white disaster, as long as the Wang Ting gang works together and spend all their wealth. After overcoming this difficulty, Beidi will definitely work together to rise from the ashes.
When the time comes to face off against Dazhou, it’s uncertain who will win and who will lose.
But... Ba Simin looked at Ansazan's expression and raised a disdainful smile at the corner of her mouth.
Whispering "short and shallow"
The sound is not loud, but the surrounding environment is extremely quiet
Anzazan heard it clearly
I couldn't help but tremble all over
Eyes full of reluctance
Ba Simin sighed and said, "Your Majesty, if we don't make arrangements early, I'm afraid that as soon as the white disaster stops, Beidi will end up with a country without a general."
"Even if the king is reluctant, he still has to show his attitude."
"Otherwise, the people of Beidi will be disheartened and turn directly to Zhou. If they turn against us again, how will the king respond?"
"I believe the king also knows what the people of Beidi need?"
"If the king cannot give it to you, let the empress give it to you."
"Do you think I, the millions of people in Beidi, will still be loyal to their king?"
Every word of Ba Simin's words poked Anzazan's lungs.
But he is still reluctant to let go of his family background, which is the foundation for his dominance in Beidi. If he just throws it away, once the disaster is over, everything he does will definitely be a wedding dress for others.
Ba Simin looked at Ansazan's twinkling expression and chuckled. She didn't say anything, but sighed in her heart, "Ansazan, Ansazan, if you can be like my brother, you know who is the best in the world." Master, you won’t be so concerned about one thing and the other.”
"You kept your belongings, and the people of Beidi lost their families, friends, relatives, cattle and sheep."
"If you want them to work for you and sacrifice their lives for you, do you think they will after the White Disaster?"
"They are poor, they are not stupid..."
Ba Simin looked at Ansazan's look, shook his head in disappointment, and said calmly, "Your Majesty, think about it slowly, I still say what I said, even if Your Majesty doesn't provide money, you must find a way to raise money for disaster relief. After all, if Beidi has tens of millions If the people do not recognize the royal court, there is no need to keep the royal court. You must know that the current Yanzhi Mountain is at the gate of Jubei Gate."
"That place is more like a royal court than here."
"After all, the Royal Court cannot give them hope of survival, but those coming from the direction of Yanzhi Mountain can."
With that said, Ba Simin turned and left, leaving Anzazan tapping the table with hesitant eyes.
Three days later, Ba Simin watched Ansazan hold a ceremony to pray for the people of Beidi, and also watched him call on the powerful people of Beidi to contribute money and efforts to the people of Beidi.
He even watched him take most of the materials donated by those powerful people as his own, and then get some moldy old grain from his own treasury to replenish the amount.
Seeing this scene, Ba Simin looked up to the sky and sighed.
When life and death are at stake, you still don't forget to seek personal gain. Anzazan, you are stupid and bad!
Ba Simin had no choice but to take all the human resources from the National Preceptor's Office, lead a group of troops, rush out of the royal court, and plunge into the rolling snow.
Seeing the people of Beidi shivering in the wind and snow, Ba Simin's eyes trembled. The miserable situation of these people vaguely reminded her of the time when she first entered Beidi. The wind and snow back then were not as good as today.
But the wind and snow at that time made Ba Simin unable to forget it for a moment. The cold wind was biting to the bones. How could he just forget it?
Ba Simin's eyes narrowed and she flew up
As a semi-saint, he spared no effort to melt ice and snow. Although it was a drop in the bucket, it was better than being indifferent.
Before coming, he chopped up all the wooden utensils in his Imperial Prefect's residence and used them as firewood for the people in front of him.
The people were so grateful that
And when she saw a group of bossy personal guards, they gathered people together as if they were benevolent, and then distributed the small bags of less than a kilogram to each one, and then left.
Ba Simin took a bag of grain, looked at the black and green grain, pursed his lips, waved his hand, gathered all the grain together, and then used his spiritual power to turn over and refine the grain.
The old woman on the side sighed deeply when she saw this appearance.
Her name is Ba Siying, she is a native of Beidi. It was she who adopted Ba Simin when she was a child. She also suffered a lot for this little girl, so she has not been able to get married yet. When Ba Simin became successful, she even became a It is even more difficult to get married after marrying the unattainable mother of the Imperial Preceptor.
Looking at the little girl's solemn expression, Ba Siying knew that Minmin was going to fight for her life.
However, not long after those royal guards left, another group of cavalry with howling wolves came roaring through the wind and snow.
"The cavalry of Zhou Dynasty?!"
"No, they didn't bring crossbows!"
Ba Siying looked at the sudden appearance of the cavalry with vigilance and didn't know how to react for a moment.
The group of well-dressed cavalrymen, with smiles on their faces, took out bags of rice-scented grain from the wheelless vehicle behind them.
There are also dry firewood and furs
He walked up to the bewildered Beidi people and distributed them carefully.
No matter men, women, old or young, there is no exception
Even Ba Siying received a share of food, but seeing that she was well-dressed, she was not given any furs.
The people in Beidi who were affected by the disaster burst into tears when they saw these real supplies.
Survived!
Including the old, weak, women and children who are already preparing to commit suicide by walking into the snow, with these supplies, there is obviously hope for surviving the White Disaster.
The leading general was not surprised to see the people kneeling on the ground.
Instead, he turned around and left without giving them a chance to thank them. He just left them a compass and map before leaving.
The location of Jubeiguan is marked on it, and it also states that Jubeiguan is not closed, and all Beidi people without weapons can enter.
Ba Siying and Ba Simin stayed there for a long time. Under the influence of their ears and eyes, they suddenly figured out the joints.
She roughly estimated the supplies left by these people. It would obviously be a big gamble to stay where they were and fight the wind and snow without seeing the sun.
One accident could result in the death of the entire tribe.
And if we rely on these supplies to go to Jubeiguan, this is the only possibility to truly survive.
"What a good plan," Ba Siying sighed.
In mid-air, Ba Simin had already finished processing the old food. When he saw the scene under his feet, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes.
"Mother"
"You can go back," Ba Simin said calmly, "Today's Beidi no longer needs the National Preceptor's Office."
Ba Siying was stunned when she heard this and looked at Ba Simin in confusion.
Ba Simin smiled bitterly and pointed at the retreating troops.
"The cavalry of the Great Zhou Dynasty are obviously well prepared and closely followed by the royal guards."
"It shows that they already know the situation in Beidi. Regardless of strategy and tactics, they are already in an invincible position."
"As for me, Beidi, I still think it's just a matter of killing some old, weak, women and children."
"You are not afraid of not knowing the goods, but you are afraid of comparing goods with others."
"Comparing a lot of stale food with these plump and smooth food, the people will naturally know the answer."
"Look, they won't stay where they are."
"Their king wanted them dead, but their enemies tried their best to keep them alive. The people knew how to choose."
"Beidi, it's over"
Ba Siying listened and remained silent.
"Is there really no hope at all?"
Ba Simin sneered, looked in the direction of the royal court, and said coldly
"If that idiot knew the seriousness of the matter, he would be willing to spend all his wealth to support the people of Beidi."
"With the help of Da Zhou's stock wind, after the white disaster, it is still unclear who will win."
"But obviously, that guy is either such a person, or he is the one who paid the disaster relief food and wages handed over by the powerful. He will be greedy for money."
"If he does not subjugate the country, heaven will not allow it."
"Just look at the people of Beidi, how many of them were loyal to him after the White Disaster?"
...
Youzhou City, reject Beiguan
Wu Wangji was looking at the open door, a trace of solemnity and helplessness flashed in her eyes.
My sister, the emperor, was too hasty and left the door open. Once those ambitious Beidi came across the border, Youzhou would be the first to suffer...
On the other side, Ji Zhengshuo, the former Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was wearing a black robe and looking at Jubeiguan in confusion.
"Why would she open the door of Jubeiguan? Even if there is a white disaster in Beidi, she shouldn't be so careless?"
"Is it because she sent 100,000 cavalry to Beidi? That's why she is so confident?"
Queen Wang was quietly accompanying Ji Zhengshuo on one side. She seemed to see his doubts and explained softly, "The news came from Luo Jing. If I send my sister who I think is my biological sister to Beidi as an envoy to express condolences."
"Then it was said that we would provide on-site disaster relief in Beidi, and Liuyun Hanxuelou would be responsible for all the relief needs."
"I heard that the closure of Beiguan was ordered by the Ninth Princess, and of course I agreed with it."
When Ji Zhengshuo heard this, his eyes showed a thoughtful look, "Relief on the spot, princess?"
He used to be an emperor, and his mind was naturally good, but he knew the key in just a moment.
"What a way to draw fire from the bottom of the cauldron! If Beidi doesn't know how to advance or retreat, their vitality will be severely damaged after this battle, and the country will be in danger of subjugation!"
"But how did she know that Anzazan was such a person who didn't know how to advance or retreat?"
When Queen Wang heard this, she shook her head, "I don't know, but I know that I will not fight an unprepared battle today."
One sentence stirred up the shadow in Ji Zhengshuo's heart.
It’s not like we don’t fight an unprepared battle. I remember exactly how I abdicated in embarrassment.
But...how on earth did she conclude that Anzazan would not provide disaster relief?
Luo Jing, even Liu Nian, who was thoughtful and thoughtful, were also shocked by Ji Haoyue's plan.
"So how did His Majesty conclude that Ansa praised this beast and would definitely not do what I, the Great Zhou, did?"
Ji Haoyue chuckled when he heard the words, "I was not sure whether he would follow or not. I just wanted to take this opportunity to make Beidi's vitality severely damaged, and then disperse the people of Beidi into Jiuzhou. In this way, after three generations, the people of Beidi will still be Beidi." people?"
"But I never expected that Anzazan would be so unwise."
"I thought that the people of Beidi would just abandon some old, weak, women and children and get through this disaster as usual."
"He even dared to reach out for life-saving food for the people of Beidi."
"But, he forgot that he has an enemy, and this enemy cares about the people of Beidi more than he does."
"This enemy is me!"
After hearing this, Liu Nian praised, "Your Majesty is wise, but I am very curious as to why your Majesty values these Beidi people so much? Aren't they supposed to be ambitious people?"
Ji Haoyue's eyes were distant, looking into the distance, and said softly, "Someone told me that the people who determine the survival of a country are the ones with the lowest status and the largest number of people."
"Just think of a wooden barrel. What determines the amount of water in the barrel is always the shortest piece of wood."
"And it is precisely the people at the bottom who determine the survival of the country."
"He also said, if you save the land and lose people, everyone and the land will be lost. If you save the people and lose the land, everyone and the land will survive."
"When Da Zhou fought back against the enemy on both sides, he was the one who caused the disaster to happen. He also ordered people to abandon the city directly and go to the mountains and forests. He dragged hundreds of thousands of powerful enemies into Youzhou, making it difficult for them to enter Kyushu even half a step."
"As it turns out, he was right."
"I also want to believe him"
When Liu Nian heard this, he stroked his beard and smiled.
"It turns out to be that kid, but what he said does make some sense."
"The person who determines the survival of a country is precisely the person with the largest number and the lowest status."
"It's just the people of the world."
Ji Haoyue nodded, "Yes, I thought what he said was wrong."
"But after thinking about it over and over again, I found that he was not wrong at all."
"They pay the tax."
"The war was fought by them."
"The land was planted by them"
"The food is paid by them."
"It seems that my food, clothing, housing, and transportation all depend on their hands."
"I sometimes wonder, if one day they don't want to hold up the banner of the Great Zhou Dynasty, will they be like King Li back then and the people of the country will riot?"
"He gave me an answer, yes."
"The way to avoid it is also very simple. He said that the human heart is an abyss that cannot be filled."
“People don’t want much now, but they don’t want much all the time.”
"Once the needs of the people cannot be met one day, the overthrow will only happen in a matter of seconds."
"So instead of handing the pressure directly to the Ji family, it is better to let many countries outside Kyushu feel it."
"He said that as an emperor, you can be ambitious, but the most important thing is to control your ambition."
"Especially harnessing other people's ambitions"
“Even to control a country’s ambitions”
"When my ambitions are consistent with those of all the people of Kyushu, there is no one in the world who can stop me!"
After Liu Nian heard this, his eyes were filled with admiration.
"I am not as good as him. He was established before he could reach the throne, but he has such insight. I feel that this boy has the ability to establish another dynasty in the world."
"But he is willing to cut off the complicated branches and leaves for Da Zhou. Da Zhou is really blessed to have this boy."
Hearing these treacherous words, Ji Haoyue didn't feel weird at all. The old man in front of him was the strongest person in Kyushu, and he was also the strongest scholar. He couldn't beat him, so you have to listen even if you don't want to.
What's more, Ji Haoyue thinks what Liu Nian said is right at all.
"Having him is also my blessing," Ji Haoyue said with a smile.
Liu Nian was stunned for a moment, then pointedly said, "Have you saluted?"
When Ji Haoyue heard this, she hummed shyly.
Liu Nian's old face couldn't help but sink, "Why don't I have any news?!"
Ji Haoyue said awkwardly, "Master, don't blame me, because...it's urgent to obey the authority..."
Liu Nian glanced around and understood immediately. He shook his head and said speechlessly, "This kid... forget it."
"I am his teacher. He has no relatives alive, so I can be considered his elder."
"Since Your Majesty is this guy's wife, I can't just sit back and watch."
"Here is the handwritten note of my enlightenment. There is no use in keeping it now. Let's just keep it next to Your Majesty as a gift for enlightenment."
"To His Majesty and..."
“It’s all very helpful”
Ji Haoyue's pretty face was slightly red, and she raised her hand slightly. Seeing this, Qing Shui stepped forward and took it respectfully, and brought it to Ji Haoyue's hand.
"Thank you...Thank you Master"
Liu Nian stroked his beard and laughed, and said loudly, "Your Majesty is very polite. If nothing happens, I will go back to the cabinet."
"Master, hard work"
Liu Nian left with a smile.
Ji Haoyue held her belly with loving eyes, her expression full of maternal tenderness.
