"The current Jincheng is really depressed!" Murong Xue sighed, with indescribable regret in her cold voice.
"Jincheng has been fighting for years, and almost all the merchants in the city have been scared away. No one opened a shop, so it is naturally depressed..." Ouyang Shaochen explained softly.
"I know." Murong Xue nodded lightly: During the war, the people were panic-stricken, their lives and property were not guaranteed, and those who could escape fled. Those who could not escape were also full of despair and had no intention of giving birth. Nature will become more and more desolate...
Speaking of the people, Murong Xue suddenly remembered that when she entered the city, there were more or less people all over the streets, big and small, but there was no one on this street: "Where are all the people here going?" gone?"
"It's in front." Ouyang Shaochen said lightly.
Murong Xue followed his gaze, and saw five or six large wooden barrels placed on the open space dozens of meters away, and more than a dozen guards stood in front of the wooden barrels, holding big spoons to serve porridge for the people who lined up.
Old men, old women, little boys, little girls, middle-aged women, young women, etc. were all dressed in tatters, and lined up in a messy row, holding porcelain bowls with gaps and corners, and filled the It's still thick porridge, thank you Dade for your thanks.
Especially those children, all of them are yellow, hungry, and bony, holding the bowl of porridge carefully, as if holding the most precious delicacy in the world... Wait: "The people who come to receive the porridge are all old and weak women and children." ?” Occasionally, there were a few young and middle-aged men with disabilities, and none of them were healthy young and middle-aged men.
"Because all young and middle-aged people have been transferred into soldiers." Ouyang Shaochen's voice was light: in the three-year civil war, the three princes of Qianxuan lost a lot of soldiers. In order to make up for the lost generals, they had to be transferred from their own city. Young adults join the army...
Murong Xue's eyes froze: "If all the soldiers die in the battle, wouldn't Qianxuan Kingdom have no young adults to use?"
"Almost!" Ouyang Shaochen nodded lightly: Every time the three princes of Qianxuan Kingdom fight, a group of young and middle-aged men will die. At that time, Qian Xuan will have no main labor force, even if Qian Xuan calms down, the country will not be strong and prosperous, it will only become weaker and weaker...
"Here comes the porridge... Here comes the porridge... Let me out, let me out of here, everyone..." A voice full of enthusiasm suddenly sounded, and Murong Xue slowly raised her head, only to see the guards carrying three big buckets of porridge to the common people In front of them, Tantai Mo walked behind them, directing them to put the porridge in a suitable place.
"The porridge is from Tantai Moshi?"
"Yes." Ouyang Shaochen nodded slightly.
Murong Xue blinked, Jincheng's food and grass are not particularly sufficient, but the soldiers and horses can't be raised for too long, Tantaimo is willing to give a small part to these old and weak women and children, what a kind person, she contacted Tantaimo Not many, but every time she came into contact with her, she could feel that Tantai Mo was a nice person: "Shaochen, should we help him?"
"What do you do for him? Unify Qianxuan?" Ouyang Shaochen raised his eyebrows and looked at Murong Xue.
"En." Murong Xue didn't dodge or evade, and nodded heavily: The two armies are fighting, and it is the people who suffer. If you want to save the people, you must first quell the chaos. Helping Tantai Mo unify Qianxuan is to help him quell the war. The people can Live and work in this stable environment...
"Then do you know, if we help Tantai Mo unify Qian Xuan, who will be the emperor in the end?" Ouyang Shaochen looked at Murong Xue without blinking.
Murong Xue said leisurely: "Tantai Mo's elder brother, Tantai Chen." Tantai Mo has always been the only one to look forward to, now they only have four cities, and Tantai Chen is the emperor, and when they rule twelve cities Naturally, Tantai Chen is also the emperor.
"Then do you know who brought the grain and grass in Jincheng?" Ouyang Shaochen asked suddenly.
"Tantai Mo." Murong Xue answered what she saw with her own eyes.
"When the enemy attacked the city, who led the soldiers to fight bloody?" Ouyang Shaochen asked again.
"Tantaimo!"
"Who is the porridge giver on the street?"
"Tantai Mo..." Murong Xue said casually, then suddenly realized something was wrong, and raised her eyes to look at Ouyang Shaochen: "What exactly do you want to say?"
Ouyang Shaochen's eyes were deep: "Transporting grain and grass, retreating the enemy army, and distributing gruel are all done by Tantai Mo. Tantai Chen, the emperor of Jincheng, didn't even show his face. It can be seen that he is a man with empty ambitions and no ability." …”
Murong Xue was stunned, and finally said after a long while: "Transporting grain and grass, and distributing porridge are just trivial matters. If Tantai Chen doesn't do it, it doesn't mean he is incompetent. As for the fact that he was not on the city wall when the enemy army came, maybe he I'm not good at fighting with soldiers, I'm afraid I'll make trouble from above..."
Ouyang Shaochen shook his head in disapproval, and an unfathomable look flashed in his eyes: "You have only met Tantai Chen once, and you don't know him well. I have met him dozens of times. He is just ambitious. An incompetent person, he was able to guard the four cities after three years of fighting because of the assistance of Tantai Mo... Tantai Mo is a rare talent, his literary talent and military strategy are above all his brothers, if He is the one who proclaims the emperor in these four cities, and Qianxuan Kingdom has long been unified..."
"How powerful is Tantai Mo?" Murong Xue raised her brows slightly: "Then why didn't their power expand?" In the beginning, there were four cities, but now, they still occupy four cities. what
"Tantaichen is suspicious by nature and self-willed. He trusts at most 20-30% of Tantaimo's advice to him. Otherwise, they now have at least six or seven cities..." Ouyang Shaochen said in a low voice, his eyes flickering There was an imperceptible sarcasm.
Murong Xue's eyes widened in surprise: "Really?"
"En." Ouyang Shaochen nodded heavily, and said word by word: "Tantai Chen is still narrow-minded and jealous of other people's talents. If he dominates Qianxuan and ascends the throne as emperor, the first person he will eradicate is Tantai. Mo..." After all, Tantai Chen doesn't know how to march and fight, and the eight cities of Qianxuan will definitely be captured by Tantai Mo. Every dynasty and generation, the end of the master with great achievements is a dead end.
Flying birds are exhausted, good bows are hidden, which means that the emperor thinks about the meritorious service of the hero. After the hero has made great contributions, he removes the right of the hero, gives him a position that is neither high nor low, and saves his life, but Tantai Mo still has Tantai Chen has an extremely high talent for governing the world, and he is completely inferior to him. In order to ensure that his position as emperor will not be shaken, Tantai Chen will definitely let all birds be destroyed...
"Then what should we do?" Murong Xue frowned tightly: Tantai Chen treats Tantai Mo fairly well now, and Tantai Mo also respects Tantai Chen, the imperial brother, if Tantai Mo is abolished Tantai Chen, to establish himself as emperor, he is definitely not willing to...
