After the separation, the space of Lingquan was filled up, and he was so angry that he went crazy

What the senior officials said was true, but the young officials were more impulsive under the impact of anger.

But what they say makes sense, so now it’s a dilemma.

To fight a war, you need food, grass, and military pay, not just people.

At present, the national treasury cannot support it at all.

Jun Wanjing pinched his eyebrows with a headache and couldn't help but look at Leng Xiaohan.

"Marquis Yong'an, what do you think about this matter?"

Leng Xiaohan frowned slightly and said: "Autumn has just entered now. As far as I know, the northern border is bitterly cold all year round and food and grass are in short supply. The Huns are nomadic people. They have long and cold winters and short and warm summers. The horses, cattle and sheep are exhausted. , thin and in need of recovery,

Therefore, spring and summer are when they are at their weakest, and in autumn they have the most abundant food and grass. However, it is only late summer and early autumn, so I feel that their intentions are somewhat unclear when they come to the city at this time. "

As soon as Leng Xiaohan finished speaking, someone said excitedly:

"They ask for 100,000 dans of grain and 1,000 bolts of cloth. It can be seen that it is for food. If we agree to their request, maybe they will wait until the middle of autumn and attack us with the grain and grass we give! So we must not agree to them. request!"

"But if you don't agree, what will happen if they attack now?" the old minister said worriedly.

They just wanted to turn big things into small things. Of course, they didn't want to agree to the Huns' unreasonable demands, because if they agreed, it would be tantamount to bowing their heads.

Jun Wanjing asked with a sneer: "Then what do you think should be done at this time?"

The people who were having a heated discussion just now became quiet again.

Jun Wanjing glanced at them with disgust, and finally looked at Leng Xiaohan.

"Marquis Yong'an, this matter is extremely difficult. I'm worried about the others."

Leng Xiaohan nodded and said: "I understand, just give me the emperor's orders."

"Fortunately, there is Marquis Yong'an. Marquis Yong'an is the Dinghai Divine Needle of our Yu Dynasty. With him here, this matter will definitely be solved!"

"The Marquis of Yong'an has outstanding abilities, who else can do this without him!"

Everyone started to flatter him one after another.

Jun Wanjing glanced at them coldly and said lightly: "You all should go out first! Marquis Yong'an stays."

"Yes, Wei Chen is resigning."

"My minister retire."

Within a moment, they all retreated, running faster than rabbits, as if they were afraid of being called back again.

As soon as they left, Jun Wanjing couldn't help but curse: "What a bunch of trash. They talk about the empty treasury and lack of food and grass, but I see that they are all pig-headed and big-eared. I don't know how rich they are!"

Leng Xiaohan said with a look of helplessness: "Your Majesty, I only have one request when I go to the north this time, and that is to take care of my wife and children for me."

Jun Wanjing nodded and said, "Don't worry, Fugui, I will definitely take good care of my younger siblings and two children."

Leng Xiaohan was naturally relieved, but he still had doubts in his heart. He frowned and said, "It's just that I think there is something fishy about the Xiongnu's attack."

Jun Wanjing's face darkened when he heard this, and his eyes were full of solemnity.

"I also have my doubts. Compared to other neighboring countries, Beidi is relatively peaceful, especially since King Duan returned to China as a hostage and has been peaceful in recent years!

When we started the war with the barbarians and Japanese pirates, the national treasury was still full. If it hadn't been for the famine in the previous two years, my majestic Yu would not have fallen into the current situation. "

The two of them couldn't help but look at each other slowly, their eyes full of coldness of unknown meaning.

Leng Xiaohan stayed in the Yangxin Hall for another half an hour, and it was already late at night when he came out.

After staying in the palace for so long, Su Yue must be worried, but he still has to go to the north after all.

When I returned to the Hou Mansion, candles were still burning in the main hall of Qinchun Hall. The warm yellow candlelight reflected the woman's soft side face on the window paper pasted the window grilles.

Leng Xiaohan quickly walked a few steps into the house.

Su Yue was sitting on the couch. The small table on the couch was covered with white paper. She was drawing something with her head down.

When she raised her eyes and saw Leng Xiaohan standing at the door, she immediately smiled like a flower.

"You're back? Why did you stay in the palace for so long?"

Leng Xiaohan walked forward slowly, looking at the woman on the couch with gentle eyes, unable to look away for a moment.

Su Yue was puzzled by his eyes, and when she saw that he had been silent and didn't speak, and that he had been in a state of disarray during the past two days in the palace, she sighed deeply.

Now Leng Xiaohan has an unkempt beard, a haggard face, and his eyes are black and blue, which shows that he has not slept well for several days.

She didn't want to beat around the bush, so she asked directly: "Has the situation in the North changed? Do you have to go to the North again?"

Leng Xiaohan sighed and sat down next to Su Yue, his tone full of helplessness.

He doesn't want to go, but if he doesn't go, once the war starts, all his efforts will be in vain. Besides, Jun Wanjing is his sworn brother. He is also a good emperor. He has always tried his best to consider the people. Even if For his sake, he must go to the North this time.

When Su Yue saw him like this, she knew that her guess was accurate.

She just hugged Leng Xiaohan silently. In fact, she wanted to say willfully and tell him not to go, but she knew that such words would only make him more worried.

So she just asked softly; "When will you go?"

Leng Xiaohan hugged her tightly and said, "In three days."

"So fast?"

Su Yue exclaimed and suddenly left Leng Xiaohan's arms.

Leng Xiaohan nodded and said: "Well, there is an urgent report from the border that the Huns have arrived at the city."

Su Yue frowned and asked: "What's the situation now? They say that food and grass must come first in a war. You only have three days, and even the soldiers don't have time to prepare!"

Leng Xiaohan pretended to smile casually and said: "It's okay, we may not be able to start a fight. I'll go there first, and then the army and food will follow."

Su Yue said worriedly: "How can this be done? If there is a problem with food, grass and support, wouldn't you die?"

Leng Xiaohan didn't want to talk too much about the affairs of the court with Su Yue, so he only changed the subject and warned: "I have told the emperor that he will take good care of you mother and son. Don't just hear about border affairs. I will send an email every month Letter from home."

When Su Yue saw that he was ignoring her, she knew that food and support must be a big problem.

The wars in the past few years have only subsided, and the harvest the year before last year was not good. The people did not have enough to eat, so how could there be food in the treasury.

No matter how wealthy a country is, if it fights wars one after another, it may not be able to afford it.

Leng Xiaohan hugged Su Yue into his arms again and comforted her with a warm voice: "It's okay, just wait for me to come back."

The more Su Yue thought about it, the angrier she became, and asked angrily: "Then how long will it take for you to come back? One year? Two years? Or will it take another seven years?"
