After transmigrating into the villain's daughter, I lie down and win

Chapter 827 The whole family is a rebel (111)

The color of grass is far away but nothing is near.

In March in Chang'an, the grass is lush, the warblers are flying, the willows are green, and the rain is as soft as butter.

In March, the northern desert was still shrouded in northerly winds, with no grass growing, heavy snow raging, and biting frost.

But the severe cold could not extinguish the raging anger and hatred in the soldiers' hearts.

The army marched northward, and along the way most of the people were heading south. They were the survivors, while more unfortunate people stayed in the border areas.

When the soldiers saw those corpses that could not rest in peace even after death, with even the last piece of clothing on their bodies stripped away and then abandoned in the snow and ice, frozen into ice from head to toe, the hatred in their hearts was completely ignited.

Some of them came from the eastern coast, some from the hot south, some from the even colder Liaodong, and most of them came from the Central Plains and Kanto. But no matter where they came from, who they had served in the past, and what kind of utilitarianism they had in mind before setting out, after seeing the miserable conditions of the people in the border areas, they all had only one name: Chinese.

And those frozen ice sculptures are their half-brothers and their unknown relatives.

It was at this time that many people realized that if there were no soldiers and civilians guarding the border, the barbarians surrounding the entire north would move south, and those who would be killed would be their true relatives and fellow villagers.

Hatred is the best catalyst.

Even without the need for pre-war mobilization, the soldiers' desire for revenge had reached its peak. They wanted to kill those Huns and use their blood to commemorate their dead comrades and fellow villagers, and to commemorate the souls who died guarding the border.

As the commander, Xiao Ji naturally understood the principle of "the more you lose, the more you will lose". He and the Northern Army were too familiar with the terrain in the Mobei area. They also knew where the Huns might appear at this time and where they could flee to after the war started. Therefore, they formulated a war plan very early. Combining the current situation and the intelligence from the front, he slightly changed the plan and issued the orders to the generals.

"In this battle, we can only win, not lose!"

"General... Your Majesty, rest assured, I will definitely bring that dog Chanyu's head to see you!"

The generals all swore that they would wipe out the Huns and completely eliminate this great threat to the world and the Central Plains. They only asked the emperor not to take risks and wait for their good news and triumphant return in the central military tent.

But these generals had no idea that as soon as the army set out, the person sitting in the central military tent changed from the young and energetic emperor to an old general with white hair and beard, and the personal soldiers in the tent secretly called him "the emperor emeritus."

As for their emperor, he led a thousand elite cavalrymen and made a detour to the Xiongnu royal court.

……

When the Battle of Mobei began, no one in the court was worried about losing the war, but they were worried that food and grass would not be enough, thus missing the opportunity to fight. Therefore, even those who had previously opposed the war tried their best to submit a memorial, hoping that the Shaofu could make use of his remaining energy to transport as much food and grass as possible to the front line, so as to ease the pressure in the north and end the war as soon as possible.

Is there enough food in the North?

If the battle line does not get longer, the food in the north will be enough to last until the end of the war.

But this war was not fought for the north, but for the stability of the world from foreign invasion. Only by winning this war, showing prestige and momentum, and completely destroying the Huns, can we scare those barbarians entrenched around China, make them dare not covet things that do not belong to them, and make them surrender!

In this case, why should the North bear all the costs of the war?

Others may not know, but the Crown Prince and the Queen know it very well. If Jin Yan had not led the farmers to produce high-yield, cold-resistant and drought-resistant varieties, it would have been impossible to grow so much wheat under the geographical and climatic conditions in the north.

Not to mention supporting the war, it is still unclear whether the people can have enough food to eat.

Those good varieties of wheat were not grown overnight, but were cultivated by Xiao Jinyan with her frail body and the farmers' disciples through countless hard work day and night. Every year when the wheat was ripe and ready to be harvested, she would always stay in the fields, listen to the farmers' reports on the wheat yield per mu, and then smile with compassion.

With the increase in grain production, people would no longer starve to death. And she no longer had to be so sad that she couldn't eat or even sob silently when she slept because she saw people starving to death on the roadside.

Those are the hard work of Yan'er and the people of the north. Their hard work should not be in vain, and should not be taken for granted.

The officials of the Shaofu were also well aware of their responsibilities. It was impossible for them to do nothing. They could only do their job. Their responsibility was to earn more food and money for the country. That was why they were the first to stand up and oppose policies such as "war" and "tax cuts" that would require the Shaofu to cut their own flesh when they heard people talking about them. This was because they were used to crying poor and acting pitiful.

However, when it comes to national affairs and the survival of the nation, they are still clear-headed and know what they should do.

Without the Crown Prince or the Empress saying anything, the officials of the Shaofu presented the list they had drawn up. This was the result of their repeated and painful cuts, but the Crown Prince only took a look at it and handed it to the Empress.

"Not enough, add more."

Shaofu: “…”

What’s more, we are not just crying poor, we are really poor!
But what needs to be added still needs to be added.

After several rounds of bargaining, the mother and son were finally satisfied, and the official from the Shaofu left the court in despair.

When they returned to the Shaofu, the others took a look at the situation and thought to themselves that this was not good. Would the Shaofu be emptied out now?
Spring ploughing is approaching, so we must save enough grain seeds.

When the prince reaches marriageable age, it will incur a large expense.

A certain place suffered from a disaster in winter, and the pension subsidies to the people have not yet been distributed.

There is a lot of rain in summer, so we must prevent floods and waterlogging.

……

Thinking of this indispensable support, the hearts of everyone in the Shaofu were bleeding.

However, their boss suddenly chuckled, then took out from his sleeve a memorial that was exactly the same as the one submitted to the prince. Everyone took it and looked at it, and immediately reacted.

"Old people are wise, my Lord! The prince would never have thought that the result of the bargaining in the court was actually something we had calculated in advance!"

"Hush, if the prince knew..."

"The Zhonglang General has arrived!"

"..."

Zhong Xing strode into the Shaofu, and then slapped a memorial in front of everyone, and said, "Everyone, the plan to conceal the truth has been exposed."

Everyone in the Shaofu was stunned. They looked at Zhong Xing's memorial, then looked at the one in their own hands, and suddenly the sky fell.

It's a mistake!

Zhong Xing didn't care about their expressions of despair. He smiled coldly, "The Crown Prince has ordered that the food and grass be sent to the front line as soon as possible. If you dare to interfere and miss the opportunity to fight, you will be beheaded!"

Shaofu official: "..."

Wang Wu: “…”
