As for the fact that they intercepted the Yellow River water in the upper reaches, what should the Dajin Kingdom in the middle and lower reaches do?
Guo Mo can't control that much anymore.
"Secretly send people to Jiangnan, Lianghu and other places to collect grain, and disperse in a few more places, try not to attract people's attention."
"In addition, I personally wrote a letter to the Prime Minister of Lin'an. Didn't he want to support me? Let him help me raise 50 shi for the army rations for the 'rebellion'."
Our Shi Xiangna is a well-known landlord, and it is time for him to contribute generously.
Of course, Guo Mo would not ask for food in vain. When Li Mochou passed by, didn't Shi Miyuan send 100 million taels of silver bills?
Just use the money to buy food from him.
"Zhao Changshi, food is one thing, and we also need to prepare accommodation for the hungry people, supplies for the winter, and pay attention to security issues."
"Let's suspend our brewing workshop for a while. That thing is a bit too expensive. Starting tomorrow, the Yan Palace will reduce its daily expenses by half. Let's wait a few months and see."
"Communicate with Du Gao and Yue Ao more, we should have three or four months of preparation time, everything is still in time, we must not let one of the hungry people who enter our Song Dynasty die of freezing and starvation—"
Guo Mo was talking there to himself, and Zhao Rushu quickly memorized the pen and paper he found somewhere.
The old Cheng Yi next to him stopped eating and drinking, and even Huang Rong and others on the other side stopped eating and drinking.
"Your Highness, you are truly a bodhisattva! Old minister Cheng Yi, thank you for taking care of the hungry people in the world—"
Old Cheng Yi was already in tears, and he was saluting Guo Mo tremblingly.
"Haha, these are what this king should do. Nothing is more important than human life! By the way, didn't you say two things? There is one more thing?"
In the face of natural disasters, Guo Mo knew that there was a limit to what he could do. He was just an innate expert and not a god. He hoped that all losses would be under control.
"Your Highness, another thing is quite interesting. Xixia's 'Princess Yincheng' has now become the Empress of Xixia—"
Zhao Rushu put down the writing brush in his hand, and took out a military newspaper from the sleeve of his robe, which had just been handed over to Prince Yan's residence.
Chapter 289 A Princess
Rebirth: Where Does the Sword of Shooting the Condor Return? Chapter 289: A Princess
"Empress Xixia?"
Guo Mo quickly took the military newspaper that Zhao Rushu handed over, and read it carefully.
It turned out that "Vulture" Yu Chixuan and "Kai Bei Zhang" Lei De issued the imperial edict of the Supreme Emperor Li Zunxu in front of all the civil and military officials of Xixia in the Hao Palace.
In terms of prestige and influence, there is no way to compare with the Supreme Emperor Li Zunxu.
Although the old man has abdicated for several years, in the Western Xia court, especially in the hearts of the old officials, he is still recognized as the real master.
Coupled with the rumors in the Zhongxing Mansion these days, you must know that there are no waves without wind, and wind comes from empty holes.
Many people were skeptical at first, but now that there is an imperial edict from the Supreme Emperor, it seems to be a matter of course for the new emperor Li Sui to step down.
As for letting the woman "Princess Yincheng" be their empress, there are some objections, but not very much.
First of all, this was the decision of the Supreme Emperor Li Zunxu, and the ministers followed the edict, which is also a habit for many years.
Secondly, just over a month ago, the Mongolian iron cavalry broke through several states in Xixia, and they almost reached Xiliang Prefecture, which is only one state away from Zhongxing Mansion.
At such a critical moment, it was the "Princess Yincheng" who stepped forward and led the army as a woman to resist the Mongolian iron cavalry.
At that time, many ministers whispered, if this "Princess Yincheng" was a man, it would be great, that would be the luck of the Xixia subjects!
More importantly, the special status of "Princess Yincheng" also attracted more than 3 powerful "Dunwu Army" and Yanwang Guards from the Song Dynasty.
The invincible Mongolian iron cavalry was beaten back abruptly.
Although, more people in Xixia heard it from hearsay, and the guards of the King of Yan seemed to have three heads and six arms, so that the Mongols had no power to fight back.
However, the Mongols retreated to two states in a row, and now they are even more huddled in the city of Guazhou and dare not come out. This is always true, right?
As more and more Xixia people went outside Suzhou City to conduct trade exchanges, Meng Gong and his "Dunwu Army" became more and more powerful in the hearts of Xixia people.
Of course, they know better that the root of all this lies in their "Silver City Princess".
Without the existence of this princess, not to mention that they can now enjoy the tea, fine wine, silk and porcelain of the Song Dynasty, I am afraid that the entire Xixia Kingdom will be wiped out by the Mongols.
Therefore, when Yu Chixuan publicly announced that "Princess Yincheng" would be the Empress of Xixia, more than half of the people agreed.
There are also some ministers who remained neutral. After Yu Chixuan left, they spontaneously organized their own guards to maintain the daily law and order of Zhongxing Mansion, and waited for the final result of the game between the upper-level elders.
Yu Chixuan, on the other hand, summoned more than 3000 Xixia troops, and together with dozens of civil and military ministers who actively supported the "Princess Yincheng", set off for Xiliang Prefecture.

Before they reached Xiliang Prefecture, the Meng Communist Party's scout army reported what happened in Zhongxing Mansion to his commander.
"Haha, Cheng Yu, this time is really interesting. I'm afraid even His Royal Highness King Yan might not have expected the situation today?"
Meng Gong read it and passed the news to Zhao Chengyu who was next to him.
Zhao Chengyu's mood has been very complicated these days. He fought a big victory and left an indelible mark on the hearts of the Western Xia Army and the Mongolian Army for King Yan and Song Dynasty.
However, three of the 520 brothers under his command died in the end, and 27 were severely disabled and could no longer stay in the King Yan Guards.
It was only slightly injured, and there were more than 40 people who had not fully recovered. He can fully use it now, only more than [-] King Yan's guards.
In the eyes of others, these are just a series of cold casualties, but in the eyes of Zhao Chengyu, these are his brothers who lived and died.
After that duel, Zhao Chengyu personally wrote a military report to Guo Mo, or his own "confession", for failing to protect the five or six hundred brothers.
Guo Mo also quickly wrote back to him, not as the king of Yan, but as the robe of the army.
Let him make sure to record clearly the names and places of origin of those soldiers who died in battle, and the post-war pensions must be in place, so that the brothers cannot be allowed to care about their families even after they die.
He also ordered Meng Gong and Zhao Chengyu to erect a monument for the battle between Song and Mongolia just outside the city of Suzhou, engraving the names of every soldier who died in the battle on it.
"Cheng Yu, there are laws of war in war. How can anyone not die in war? King Yan once said that brothers can die, but they have to die for value."
"Those of us who are still alive must carry the will of the dead brothers and unite more around His Royal Highness King Yan. Only when His Royal Highness leads us can we create an unprecedented world."
"By that time, every commoner under His Highness's rule will be able to eat and clothe warmly, the young and old will be able to marry a wife, and the children will be able to study and go to school."
"Look at Henan Mansion. In just a few years, these things that were unimaginable before have really come true before your eyes."
"Meng believes that in the near future, in the new territory of the Song Dynasty, every corner can be like the current Henan Province, or even better—"
Meng Gong is considered a calm person, but when he said this, his eyes were shining, and his voice raised a lot unconsciously.
"Dutong, what should we do about the 'Empress of Western Xia'?"
Hearing the words of the Communist Party of Meng, Zhao Chengyu was relieved a lot, looked at the military newspaper in front of him and asked.
"What should we do? Of course we must resolutely support 'Princess Yincheng', no, from now on, we will call him 'Emperor Xixia'."
"You think, the 'Empress of Xixia' is the side concubine of our Yan Palace, so what about the entire Xixia Kingdom?"
"While Brother Tiemu is huddled in Guazhou City, we should step up training the [-] Xixia army in front of us. When we fight in the future, we must not let them hold us back."
With the full support of the Meng Communist Party and Zhao Chengyu, Suzhou, Ganzhou, and Xiliang Prefecture, the three states, were completely brought under the rule of the "Empress of Western Xia".
Under the protection of Zhao Chengyu King Yan's guards, the "Empress of Western Xia" left the front line of Suzhou and continued to be stationed in Xiliang Prefecture, but did not return to Zhongxing Mansion for the time being.
After all, the situation of the Zhongxing Mansion is still relatively complicated. It has been a state mansion for so many years, and the forces and interests in it are deeply intertwined.
At this special point in time, it is a resolution reached jointly by the Meng Communist Party and the "Empress of Western Xia" to try to avoid unnecessary troubles and ensure a stable rear on the western front.
In his last letter, Guo Mo had already entrusted the entire government and military affairs of Xixia to the Meng Communist Party, and he did not need to ask Luoyang for everything.
In fact, the current power of the Meng Communist Party has already surpassed that of a leading general, and even greater than the power of Guo Mo's three economic and strategic appeasement envoys.
If you really want to make an analogy, the power of the Meng Communist Party in the Xixia states is already equivalent to that of a party's Jiedushi.
......
"Your Highness, it seems that your 'Yan Ran Residence' will not be able to visit the master in a short time."
Old Cheng Piao poured himself a glass of wine and did not forget to joke with Guo Mo.
"According to the Meng Communist Party, I am afraid that the Mongols will not easily launch an attack."
"They don't have a good supply line, unless the Borshu in the rear fully supports him, so in my opinion, Brother Tiemu may retreat."
"Your Highness, although the King of Yan's guards lost 600 people this time, the significance of this battle is extraordinary! Under the witness of 10 people, the [-] Mongolian Army, [-] Western Xia Army, and [-] 'Dunwu Army' , beat the Mongolian iron cavalry upright."
"The old minister is guessing, should we give some rewards to the guards of the King of Yan? The guards are always shouting, and it seems a little too mediocre."
Zhao Rushu on the side spoke.
"Well, what Zhao Changshi said is true. Under the condition of equal numbers, the guards defeated the Mongolian cavalry with a ratio of one to five."
"If this is against the armies of Shangxixia or the Kingdom of Jin, the advantage will be even more obvious. It is really a tiger in the world, so why not name it 'Hu Ben'?"
Guo Mo stood up, walked to the table next to him, raised his hand to pick up a wolf pen, and wrote the three vigorous characters of "Hu Benjun" on the rice paper in front of him.
"Zhao Changshi, make these three characters into a big banner and send it to the front line of Xixia."
"At the same time, ask Senior Brother Feng, the general supervisor, to prepare a thousand sabers and a thousand sets of armor, and send them to Xixia. It can be regarded as our congratulatory gift for the enthronement of the 'Empress of Xixia'."
This is already a family. The suggestions Guo Mo gave to the Meng Communist Party are being implemented step by step. Sooner or later, the four Xixia soldiers will be completely in their pocket.
The war in Xixia tends to be a confrontation for the time being, and the real drought may not come in a few months. What Guo Mo has to do now is to wait for the birth of his fourth child.
Thinking that when the first three children were born, he couldn't stay by Huang Rong's side, and the fourth child was about to be born. Even if something big happened, he didn't want to leave.
On the last day of June, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and gusts of cool wind blew, making the originally scorching weather more refreshing and hopeful.
Is it going to rain?
The entire Luoyang City, the entire Henan Province, even more state capitals, and more people are looking forward to it, thinking that it will rain soon——
Yanwang Mansion, Hongyu Pavilion.
The people who came out and went in were busy, but Guo Mo was spinning his wheels in the yard.
"Why haven't you been born yet?"
Although he is already the father of three children, it is the first time for Guo Mo to have a daughter-in-law give birth.
Two stable women have already entered, Feng Heng, Jin Yufeng, and Li Mochou are also helping inside, Guo Mo also wants to go in, but Tingxiang and Wenfu are on the left and right, and the door is tightly guarded.
"Daddy, you should sit down and wait, it shouldn't be so fast."
Little Guo Xiang, however, looked like a little adult, lying on the recliner beside her, looking at the sky covered with dark clouds, as if she could hold her breath better than an adult like Guo Mo.
That's right, even though this little girl is only five years old, she has already taken care of a younger brother. That kid Guo Xiao who lives far away on Peach Blossom Island is almost two years old.
"Card--"
Suddenly, a thunderclap sounded in the sky, and the big raindrops fell down.
"It's raining--"
"It's raining--"
Everyone in Luoyang City was shouting. Of course, such a loud voice was also heard in Yan Wang's Mansion.
"Wow--"
A crisp cry came from Huang Rong's bedroom.
"Congratulations, Your Highness, the young lady gave birth to a son for you—"
This is Tingxiang running over to announce the good news to Guo Mo.
"Hey, it's boring, another little brother."
Before Guo Mo said anything, the little Guo Xiang beside him spoke first, then got up from the reclining chair, threw off his calves and ran to his mother's room.
She was going to visit her little brother first, the little girl couldn't remember the scene of Guo Xiao's birth last time.
"Haha, okay, rewards are available in the whole house, everyone goes to the cashier to get 20 taels of silver, even if it's the young master who rewards you."
Guo Mo was also very happy, and walked in with big strides.
"Your Highness, you can't go in yet. After a while, I will invite you to go in, Your Highness—"
Wenfu still wanted to stop Guo Mo, but he had already dodged in with a "swift step", leaving Tingxiang and Wenfu full of impatience.
"Mo'er, why did you come in, get out quickly—"
Seeing Guo Mo coming in from the outside, Feng Heng immediately pushed him outside.
"Haha, mother-in-law, I just came in to see Rong'er and the child. This kid should be a lucky star. He brought a heavy rain when he was born, which can be called timely rain."
The Wen Po and the maids inside were still busy, and the crying of babies could be heard from time to time.
Although Guo Mo came in, he was finally blocked by Feng Heng, saying that he had to wait for the inside to be cleaned before letting him in, saying that it would be unlucky to go in like this.
