Brother Rui was lucky. The night before it snowed, he found an abandoned hayloft by hunters. After waking up in the middle of the night, he hurriedly lit a fire, and when there was no firewood, he took the broken table and the broken chair in the house and burned it. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will freeze to death.
After daybreak, my stomach groaned. Feeling his hungry belly, Brother Rui stood up helplessly.
As soon as he walked out the door, the surrounding cold pierced into his bones, causing Brother Rui to tremble several times, and he had to return to the house.
Nestled by the fire to warm up, Brother Rui said to himself with a bitter face: "Why is it snowing?" Because there is a precedent of Zao Zao being a living target in the grassland, Yun Qing and Yuxi did not give specific advice. Brother Rui built a set of armor, but directly gave him a soft armor. And this soft armor is just a protective suit, it doesn't keep warm!
From morning until noon, Brother Rui finally couldn't bear it and went out to find food. Deep in the jungle, eating a lot depends on your ability.
Brother Rui had injured his left hand before, but he suffered a minor injury. He carried a hemostatic medicine with him, and he would be fine after the bandage. In the past few days, he has been relying on jungle animals to satisfy his hunger. But in such a cold day, the animals are all huddled in their nests, and they won't come out.
After wandering for a long time, Brother Rui didn't even see the chicken feathers. It was too cold to bear, so I could only pick some wild vegetables and go back.
The fire in the straw shed has long since gone, but fortunately there are sparks. After burning the fire, Brother Rui went out to collect firewood again. When he came back from picking up the firewood, he found that there was one more person in the straw shed.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, the man turned his head reflexively.
When Brother Rui saw this person's face, he took two steps in fright. No way, this man's face is full of scars, it's not an exaggeration to say that he is completely different, and he looks terrifying. That's why Brother Rui is courageous, and if he wants to be replaced by ordinary people, he is afraid that he will be directly fainted.
The man was also surprised when he saw Brother Rui, and asked. It's a pity that he speaks a dialect, and Brother Rui didn't understand it.
Brother Rui asked in Mandarin: "Who are you?" In order to escape the hunt of the Yan army, he went deep into the jungle. When I felt dangerous, I wanted to go out, but got lost. No matter how to go, I couldn't get out, so I was spinning around in the mountains. If this person is familiar with the terrain, he can go out.
The ugly man couldn't understand Brother Rui's words, but he pointed to something lying beside the fire.
Brother Rui looked at the two dead pheasants and hares, and immediately understood: "Are you a hunter?" It is impossible for ordinary people to catch wild animals in this snowy day, except for full-time hunters.
Seeing that the ugly person couldn't understand, Brother Rui made a bow posture. Hunters, how can they not know how to draw a bow!
The ugly man nodded, and then pointed to Brother Xia Rui.
Brother Rui thought for a while and said in Changzhou dialect: "I am from Changzhou, I am lost, and don't know how to get out."
The ugly man still didn't understand, and his face was blank.
At this time, Brother Rui's belly grumbled. Seeing the ugly man looking at him, Brother Rui touched his suffocated belly and said embarrassedly: "I haven't eaten for two days."
The ugly man walked over, picked up the hare with blood and threw it to Brother Rui. The meaning is obvious, this hare is for Brother Rui.
It must be a bad day to come out looking for food in such a cold day, but the ugly man gave him a hare without hesitation. Brother Rui knows that although this ugly person looks scary, he has a good heart. Make up your mind and let the ugly man take him out. It's just that the words don't make sense, but it becomes an obstacle.
The snow stopped for a day, and then it started to rain again. The rain is not heavy, and it is pattering, but it also makes people shiver with the cold. In Shengjing city, thousands of people have been frozen to death because of this snow.
Under normal circumstances, the government definitely wants disaster relief. But the current food and cold-proof items are not enough in the army, so how can they be evened out to the people.
The Hubushu talked for a long time, but Yan Wushuang didn't respond either. With a sigh, the household book said: "The emperor, this snow will freeze all the crops to death." Grain will definitely be harvested.
Yan Wushuang didn't want to listen anymore, and waved his hand and said, "These things are up to you." As soon as the weather gets warmer, the Ming army will attack the city. Now that Lianshengjing can't keep it, there is no spirit to manage the people's starvation to death and no harvest of food.
The words are all here, and the household book is no longer said. Having said that, it is useless.
After Achi waited for the household book to go out, he said: "Father, we will have to get messed up before the Ming army enters in this way."
"What can I do if I have no money or no food?" He has been asking Achi to take Abao and Yuchen away for the past few days, but the three of them are reluctant to live and die. It means that you want to go together and stay together if you want.
Achi looked at Yan Wushuang, but he hesitated for a long time but still did not speak.
"Let's talk if you have anything!" He was always hesitant to speak, and he felt tired when he looked at it.
A Chi plucked up the courage and said: "Father, as long as they let us leave the Central Plains, we will give Liaodong to them. Father, I believe they will agree." He is not afraid of death, but hopes that the family will be well. Alive.
Yan Wushuang smiled and said, "Even if you agree, it's for the people of the world to see. After the incident, she will not let me go." How could Han Yuxi's stubborn temperament really let him go! If he surrendered, he would become the fish on the chopping board, and Han Yuxi would kill him.
Could it be the king's soil in the whole world, and it's the king's minister who led the soil. If Han Yuxi really wanted their family's life, staying in the Central Plains would definitely not be able to escape. Achi understands this truth.
Achi said, "Father, then we'll go overseas." In this way, even if Han Yuxi wanted to retaliate against them afterwards, he couldn't stretch his hand so long. As a family, they can live happily and happily.
Yan Wushuang glanced at A Chi and said, "It's useless. Once they know whereabouts, they won't let us go even if they go overseas."
Achi said: "Father, you can only die. If you don't surrender now, the whole family will die." Even if Han Yuxi wants to kill their family in the future, it will be at least a few years away. And as long as you are alive, there is always a way.
After spending so many years in Tongcheng, A Chi deeply understood a truth. It's not easy to live, but as long as you live, there is hope. If you die, you will be a hundred, and there will be nothing left.
Yan Wushuang shook his head: "People of the Yan family would rather die than surrender."
When Achi heard this, he lowered his head.
That night, Yun Qing was very surprised when he heard Han Jianming had come. Seeing people, Yun Qing asked, "Brother, why are you here? Did you come for Brother Rui?"
Han Jianming nodded and said, "The empress empress is distraught after knowing that the second prince was arrested."
Qi Hao hurriedly asked, "Uncle, is there any good way for my mother?" It's been ten days, and I don't know how much A Rui has suffered in Yan Wu's hands.
"The empress empress meant that she wanted to surrender Yan Wushuang again. In this way, not only can the war be avoided, but the second prince can also be safe." It can be said that this is a way of killing two birds with one stone.
Yun Qing's face was calm.
When Han Jianming saw this, he knew that Yun Qing was not happy: "The emperor, there are still 100,000 soldiers and horses in Shengjing City. Tongcheng, there are also 200,000 soldiers and horses. Even if we take Shengjing, Yan Wushuang They can also retreat to the new city and continue to fight with us. At that time, they will occupy favorable terrain, and we will have to pay a huge price if we want to win Liaodong."
"The arrow is on the string, I have to send it." The army was all coming down the city, even if Yan Wushuang said he was unwilling to surrender, let alone surrender.
Han Jianming has been with Yun Qing and Yuxi for more than 20 years, and he knows their temperaments. Therefore, he also knows how to move Yun Qing: "The emperor, this snow is bound to make the crops in the ground impossible. The people of Liaodong will definitely have no food to spend the winter this year."
After a pause, Han Jianming looked at Yun Qing and said, "The emperor, if we don't fight with the Yan army, we can use this money for disaster relief." Not fighting can not only reduce casualties, but also help countless people. But if there is a war, even if Liaodong is defeated, disaster relief will be difficult. After all, the imperial court is now also saying that it is stretched.
Seeing Yun Qing's relaxation, Qi Hao hurriedly added fire: "Father, I think my uncle is very reasonable. What are we fighting for? It is to enable the people of the world to live and work in peace and contentment. If we can't move. Fighting to solve the problem of Liaodong, why not do it."
Yun Qing was able to be rebelled by Yuxi because the soldiers and the people were living too hard. He hopes to change all this with his own power. Therefore, Qi Hao's words hit his weakness.
If this war can be exempted, at least tens of thousands of soldiers need not die. Thinking of Yuxi saying that if the population is dying today, it is necessary to recuperate, Yun Qing relaxes: "Let me consider it."
After thinking about it all night, Yun Qing agreed to recruit Yan Wushuang. However, Yun Qing and Yuxi had different ideas. His request was that Yan Wushuang must surrender unconditionally. There is no way to bargain with him.
It is no longer easy to let Yun Qing relax. Han Jianming didn't say what Yuxi had said, but just nodded and said, "Okay."
Qi Hao sent Han Jianming out, and when he went outside, he lowered his voice and asked, "Uncle, are you sure?"
"With 30% certainty." Hearing that it was snowing on Shengjing's side on the road, he was 70% sure to convince Yan Wushuang. It's just that Yun Qing's requirements are a bit harsh, so he is only 30% sure now.
Qi Hao said: "Uncle, if you can talk, you can talk. If you don't agree, you must protect yourself." Qi Hao supported the recruitment, half of the reason was that Yan Wushuang caught Qi Rui. If not, how could they send someone to surrender Yan Wushuang when they have the advantage.
Han Jianming nodded.
Brother Hua looked at Han Jianming and said in a deep voice, "Father, you must return safely, and the Han family can't live without you." Han Jianming is the backbone of the Han family. If he were to fall, it would definitely hurt the Han family's vitality.
"Don't worry, I will return safely." If he is not sure, he won't ask for it automatically.
