Perhaps, in this way, it can leave an incense for the Sima family.I will take away 200 family members, and I will leave the rest to you. "

"Big brother,,,,,,"

Seeing the figure disappearing into the night, the young man couldn't help closing his eyes.Once upon a time, they were the pride of the Sima family and the jewels in the eyes of others.

But now, for revenge, they have become underground rats, and they can only do some shady things.

Chapter 587

The lively Chang'an feast is coming to an end. In this more than one-month-long banquet, the well-educated people near Yongliang got a chance to show their abilities and knowledge.

Even some scholars who can be regarded as masters in the world also participated in this feast. For example, Guan Ning, who sheltered Liaodong in the early years, Chen Feng visited many times in these years, but he did not receive the hospitality from the other party. Only this time, Guan Ning Ning unexpectedly traveled thousands of miles to Chang'an.

Thanks to the collection of books sorted out by Cai Yan, this time, Chen Feng captured the hearts of many scholars to serve the country. In addition, the law and order in Chang'an area is very good, and the economy is also on the rise. Therefore, many scholars are willing to stay. Seek development in Chang'an.

This was the first time Chen Feng recruited talents in a real sense. With such a big momentum, such a big ostentation, the harvest is naturally not small.

In addition, the matter of the academy that Chen Feng had planned for many years also started smoothly. From now on, Chen Feng can cultivate his own talents by himself.

The envoys and spies of the princes from all over the world failed to make much noise here. Some people with ulterior motives had suffered enough in Chang'an. They wanted to kill Chen Feng, but in the end they lost their own lives.

At the end of the feast, Cao Cao, who was far away in Xuchang, sent congratulatory gifts. At the same time, he sent an envoy to ask Chen Feng for the books in Chang'an Academy.

Cao Cao's move was indeed a bit strange. Those who didn't know it thought that Cao Cao was trying to curry favor with Chen Feng.

However, in a small courtyard in Xuchang, a scholar dressed in Chinese clothes was drinking alone to soothe his sorrows.He wanted a copy of the Chang'an Academy's collection of books, which was a bit of consolation to himself. In order to make him feel better, Cao Cao sent envoys to ask for books.

Time passed quickly, and when the reverberation of the Chang'an feast was about to subside, the spring plowing in the Han territory was also coming to an end, and the princes in the north were all staring at the tender shoots in the land at this time.

Due to the natural disasters last year, the princes this year paid special attention to measures such as pest control and pest control. You must know that the locust plague last year almost engulfed the entire north.

Especially the two Yuan brothers, although they were not the most severely affected by the disaster, they suffered the most serious impact. It was precisely because of the natural disaster last year that the Yuan family's prestige dropped to the lowest point.

If this year is still the same as last year, their life will be difficult.Similarly, Cao Cao was not much better. After all, the territory of the Central Plains was one of the origins of the locust plague last year.

As the world watched eagerly, the sky did not disappoint the princes from all over the world.Small-scale droughts have already occurred.

First of all, in some counties and counties in the Central Plains, although the cultivation of spring seedlings has been completed long ago, due to the small-scale drought, some places have reported to the imperial court for support.

Qingzhou is not bad, and the counties near the coast have enough rain. Although the weather is abnormal in the counties near the inland, they have not yet reached the point of drought.

The situation in Jizhou is relatively poor, but fortunately there are complete water conservancy facilities. As long as there is no severe drought, Jizhou will definitely be able to survive.

To Chen Feng's surprise, Bingzhou in the north also suffered a lot of drought this time, and the situation was even worse than last year.

In Chang'an, in Chen Feng's mansion, groups of servants came in and out with books in their hands. These days, Chen Feng was very busy with the drought.

"Why is this happening? Bingzhou has been hit by a drought this time, and, judging by the situation, it seems to be getting worse."

In the living room, Chen Feng knelt on the ground and sighed. Originally, he thought that his investment and preparation in agriculture and water conservancy were sufficient. Who knows, but when the drought came, he still couldn't resist it.

Only now did he know why Bingzhou, together with Youzhou, was called a place of bitter cold in the frontier. If Youzhou was because of the climate, then Bingzhou was definitely because of its geographical location.

The terrain of Bingzhou is surrounded by passes, and the middle is similar to a basin. This kind of terrain is good for defense. Generally, if you want to attack from the outside, the resistance is quite large.

Thanks to such terrain, Bingzhou has become an important line of defense against the Hu people in the north, but at the same time, because of the limited grain production in Bingzhou, it cannot withstand the devastation of war.

Looking at the information sent from all parts of Bingzhou, Chen Feng felt that his hair was about to turn gray, and Bingzhou must not allow any mistakes, otherwise, his territory would be divided into two.

"I thought that winning Bingzhou was a victory for our army. Now that I think about it, the Yuan brothers are not stupid. They don't have enough money and food, and winning Bingzhou will not help."

Looking at Li Ru who was drinking tea sitting opposite, Chen Feng continued to complain: "It's no wonder that Bingzhou has a small population, and because it is adjacent to the grassland, it is naturally not taken seriously.

Wen You, this drought came suddenly, and the summer grain harvest in Bingzhou will probably fail. You have to think of a way, otherwise, our army’s grain storage will have to be transported to Bingzhou again. "

At this moment, the only person Chen Feng could ask was Li Ru.Xu Shu, Pang Tong and others are currently busy with Chang'an Academy, and their expertise is not in logistics and farming, so Chen Feng did not call them.

Many times, when encountering unsolvable troubles, Chen Feng would rely a little on Jia Xu and Li Ru, after all, these two were resourceful people.

But this time, Li Ru didn't answer. Even if Chen Feng asked again, he still picked up the tea cup contentedly.

"My lord, this subordinate is currently in charge of the intelligence and planning work in Yongliang territory. It is really extremely busy. Besides, logistics and people's livelihood are not my specialty. You are asking me now, but you are asking the wrong person."

It's not that Li Ru doesn't want to solve the problem for Chen Feng, it's that he is powerless too.In addition, such a large territory as Yongliang needs him to control, if all the affairs of Bingzhou are left to him, it will really be difficult for him.

Looking at Li Ru, Chen Feng blinked vigorously, and then asked: "You say that logistics and people's livelihood are not your specialty, I may believe it, but it seems a bit wrong for you to say that you are busy.

I heard that you have divided all the affairs, even entrusted part of the intelligence work to Pang Tong, and let Xu Shu share part of the military affairs.

In this way, you are only responsible for overall planning, and you don't need to do it yourself, Wen You, this means that you are not very busy, does it? "

"My lord's statement is absurd, hahaha, even if it is an overall plan, it cannot be separated from me. On the surface, I am really free, but in fact, my burden is also very heavy."

"Hey, that's all right, just give me some advice, what should I do about Bingzhou's affairs?"

"Changan, Bingzhou is too far away from Chang'an, so it's not suitable to issue orders from Chang'an. Besides, there is General Gongsun sitting in Bingzhou. With him here, you have nothing to worry about."

This sentence was Li Ru's reply to Chen Feng. It seemed that he really didn't want to take care of Bingzhou's affairs, and he couldn't take care of them.

Chapter 588

In fact, the situation in Bingzhou has not reached the point of being incurable. If it is said that it is suffering from drought, it is not new in Bingzhou.

Bingzhou is called a bitter, cold and barren land. Is it because the soil here is not fertile enough and the resources here are not enough?

Of course not, the important thing is not because of the constant disasters and minor disasters here, but because of this, the people in Bingzhou have also developed the ability to survive in the disaster-barren land.

No, just when the drought in Bingzhou was just starting to show signs, Gongsun Xu, who was in charge of Bingzhou's logistics and people's livelihood, immediately formulated a corresponding strategy.

Last year, due to the plague of locusts, Bingzhou had a lot of production cuts. This year, Gongsun continued to grab some food from the mouth of God.

Drought is not terrible, what is terrible is whether there will be anything after the drought?Now that the grassland is stable, man-made disasters are unlikely to occur, but this does not mean that Bingzhou will be able to settle down.

"Abandon Shangdang and invest all manpower and material resources in other places for disaster relief. The above will be used as one place in exchange for food for the entire Bingzhou."

At this moment, Gongsun Xu was explaining his decision to his staff in the big tent.The drought has intensified and the time has come to make a decision.

Looking at the people around him, Gongsun Xu continued to explain: "The land of Shangdang is too close to the territory of Cao Cao and Yuan Shang, the meaning of existence here is more to resist foreign enemies.

This year's drought is severe, and Shangdang is no exception. Cao Cao and Yuan Shang are probably also busy with the drought. If they see a complete and grain-producing Shangdang, it will definitely not be a good thing for Bingzhou. "

Chen Feng kept Gongsun Xu in Bingzhou because of his ability and courage. It was because of Gongsun Xu who took Chen Feng's position at the back that he could achieve what he is today.

It's just that the decision to abandon Shangdang and save other sites in Bingzhou was not made by Chen Feng. It was Gongsun Xu's own opinion. To a certain extent, Gongsun Xu exceeded his authority by doing so.

"General Gongsun, as you said, Shangdang is adjacent to Jizhou and the Central Plains, and its geographical location is too important. There will be a certain army stationed here. If we give up the people's livelihood, how will we support these troops?

If the enemy finds out that our army is short of food and grass and has limited troops, will they take the opportunity to go north and seize our Bingzhou? At that time, how should we explain to the master.
