In the Spring and Autumn and Warring States without women

Xia Yu didn't speak, but Heze was still aggrieved. Maybe it was because he had suffered too much suffocation these days, or the pressure in the past two months was too great, or Xia Yu's sober and calm attitude at this time Heze calmed down his uneasy heart, and began to ignore Wu Bao's disapproving eyes, and described the current situation endlessly, saying: "Master, those Yan people have gone too far during this time, Lord, you are in the border town. Assassinated, unconscious, but those people don't care about your life, especially the news that the crown prince was detained in Jin and Qi's army went north, Sun You and Qin Kai were immediately sent to the south by the government. We are in the border town Almost no one paid any attention to it, and then it was Wu Bao and Qi Xun who discussed whether to withdraw from the border to prevent Zhongshan from taking the opportunity to attack.

He Ze said aggrievedly: "Master, there is no director in the Prince's Mansion these days, and it's almost messed up. Although not many people have escaped, the whole mansion is in panic. We have caught sneaky guys several times. Look It looks like someone with a purpose, but no one in the house is in charge, the Yan people don’t trust us, and we don’t trust the Yan people, and those sneaky guys can’t deal with them in our capacity. Those who dare to leave will guard you, I will take care of your meals myself, I dare not pretend to be someone else..."

Xia Yu just listened to He Ze's complaints, but her thoughts drifted far away, and she didn't know where she was drifting.

In the southern border of Yan State, on the bank of Yishui, in the Yan State Camp, Sun You stared at the army account book, sighed, and leaned on the wooden back, his heart was so bitter that bile dripped from his heart.

If you are not in charge, you don't know how expensive rice is. Sun You knew the meaning of this sentence today. Qin Kai, who opened the tent and walked into the big tent, frowned when he saw Sun's state of affairs, and said, "Why, the government is still unable to supply food and grass?"

Sun You sighed and said: "I now know how difficult it was for the prince before. I really don't know how the prince dealt with it before. The treasury of the state government, haha, is not rich in the first place. There have been wars in the past few years, and the cost is huge. , The current treasury of the state government is comparable to the treasury of the prince who raised mosquitoes in the past, and the amount of food and grass brought in this time is not enough for our army to squeeze between teeth."

The soldiers and horses have not moved, the food and grass go first, there is no food, no matter how powerful the army is, they can only belch farts, so Qin Kai frowned even more after listening to Sun You's words, and after a while, he said hesitantly: "Fang City , have you asked? Now is not the time to fight?"

Sun You glanced at Qin Kai, rubbed his face at last, and said, "I'm not so confused as to disregard the overall situation for the sake of vindictiveness. This time, Qi State is coming fiercely, and Zhongshan State is about to move again. I recently received news that Rongdi, who had been cut down by the crown prince for a while, has changed again, in such a situation, our country of Yan is almost in danger of subjugation."

Sun You sighed, and said: "I have already sent people to Fangcheng, but you also know that last time in the border town near Zhongshan, you and I insisted on obeying the general's order and leading the army to the shore of Yishui to guard against Qi people, Qi Xun At that time, Wu Bao and Wu Bao insisted on withdrawing the troops first and relocating Xia Yu. At that time, we had a very unpleasant quarrel. I heard that shortly after Wu Bao and Qi Xun returned to Jidu, Qi Xun went out to Fangcheng to take charge. I sent People who went to Fangcheng to borrow food and grass were kicked out without even entering the door."

Qin Kai was a little annoyed, and said: "In the end, Fangcheng is still a fiefdom of the prince, but it is left to the management of the inner master. In the final analysis, Qi Xun is only the escort of the inner master of the prince's mansion. How can we do it when the country is in crisis? Stand by and watch!"

Sun You sneered and said: "The country is in danger, which country is in danger!? In the eyes of those who accompanied Xia Yu, is Yan State their state or Qi State's state!?"

Qin Kai was taken aback, and said: "You mean that Qi Xun intends to help the Qi State? Xia Yu...Impossible, the crown prince is so devoted to Xia Yu! And I think Xia Yu is also very sincere to the crown prince."

Sun You sneered and said: "The prince also knows that he always treats people with sincerity. The people Xia Yu accompanied were all from Qi people. If Qi State really destroys my Yan State, they will return to Qi State at worst. What is the relationship between Shu and Xia Yu, and what is the relationship between Tian Xiang and Xia Yu? Do you think they will be bad for Xia Yu? Bad for Xia Yu's people? Is it possible! Maybe they still hold Yan Guo to destroy them and return to Qi State to continue to be high-ranking officials How about Houlu's heart!"

The more he talked, the more excited he got, Sun You stood up abruptly, paced back and forth, and said, "The prince shouldn't have trusted Xia Yu so much, and made him stretch his hands so long. Xia Yu has placed his people all over the prince's mansion in the past two years." Let’s not talk about Fangcheng, let’s talk about Wuyang, where Qi Yu and Qiqiu are in charge, I wrote to Young Master Qi for help, and Young Master Qi arrived in Wuyang overnight, if it wasn’t for him, the former head of the Prince’s Mansion and the current Wuyang Yang Gongzheng still has some old feelings, and our army's ordnance supply is about to be cut off!"

Sun You, who is complaining here, has forgotten that if it weren't for the escorts brought by Xia Yu, and Xia Yu's hard work in the past two years, Wuyang would have no ordnance to produce, and it would be impossible for Fangcheng to have such a high amount of grain per mu. There is no production, and there is no food to supply at all, but the human heart is so strange, when you don't like a person, you can always find thousands of reasons to make yourself hate him.

Qin Kai listened to Sun You's complaints in silence. He didn't know that Sun You's words were biased, but it was almost counted as growing up together and fighting side by side. For many years, he and Sun You naturally had almost the same emotional bias , Qin Kai's family has lived in the Yan Kingdom for several generations, and has long regarded himself as a complete Yan people. At this time, apart from other things, the country is in danger, and Qi Xun, as the chief official of the Prince's Mansion, is standing by and watching. It really irritated Qin Kai, who was always good-tempered.

Qin Kai was silent for a long time, and then said: "How is the prince now?"

As soon as he mentioned the current situation of convincing people, Sun You froze, and complex emotions such as pain and anger slowly appeared on his face, and he said after a while: "Mr. It’s difficult for the crown prince, food, clothing, housing, and transportation are still considered kind. After all, the prince of a country, Jin is an old hegemony, there is still some etiquette, but the latest news from Mr. Guzhu, the crown prince knows Qi’s army When they crossed the border with us, they were very anxious, worrying about the situation in the country day and night, not thinking about food and drink, and lost a lot of weight."

Qin Kai felt as if he had been rubbed by someone when he heard it. For so many years, Qin Kai didn't understand Furen's character. He was most worried about the society and took the prosperity of the country as his own responsibility. However, people were detained in the state of Jin and could not do anything. How could they not be anxious and suffering? Gu Zhu Cun'a said that he did not think about food and drink, and lost weight.

Qin Kai was full of anxiety at this time, and said: "The government didn't say how to find a way to rescue the crown prince. After all, Jin and Yan were allies, and they wouldn't just sit back and watch Qi destroy Yan. What is Guozhu thinking? Is he okay? action?"

Thinking of the news from my grandfather about the temple of the Yan State, the more I thought about it, the more I felt overwhelmed, and said: "A few days ago, the State of Jin invited the feudal lords from all over the world to form an alliance. The face of the state, although the state of Jin is worried about the expansion of the state of Qi, but there is no way to release the prince so happily, the state sent Gu Zhucun'a to the state of Jin to contact Shen Zili, who has always supported the Jin-Yan alliance, just to see This is to convince Zhao Zhifu to let the prince go, but there is no other way."

When Sun You said this, he waved his hands resentfully, and said: "We can't help you with these things. Now let's solve the problem of food and grass first, otherwise we will give Yishui to the people of Qi. gone."

Qin Kai also knew that the matter of food and grass in the army was the most urgent thing at the moment, so he suppressed his irritability and said: "I have a way, I don't know if it will work."

Sun You said anxiously: "This is imminent. If you have any ideas, you should hurry up and talk about it. Otherwise, when the food shortage mutiny happens, we'll just finish playing, so you don't need to say anything."

Qin Kai listened to Sun Ji's words, and stopped hesitating, and said directly: "There are many fiefdoms of nobles in the country on both sides of Yishui, maybe we can go to them to borrow food and grass."
