According to the report of the spies, the Zanda family has been preparing for several years.

Over the years, there were actually not many looters who went south from the other party, and they were basically small troubles.

Some people are already used to the other party's plundering without pain.

But when the opponent's army really went south, it would be the beacon fire.

"Hurry up, send a mission to the two countries to discuss joint resistance against the enemy!"

The emperor heard the words and said quickly.

The Minister of Rites at the side immediately stood up and took the order.

Seeing this, Shangshu of the Ministry of War sighed in his heart. In fact, he didn't have much hope for this strategy.

It is entirely because the three countries have their own frontiers facing the grasslands.

Who knows where the other party will come from?

It is true that concentrating forces together can defend against the enemy, but the problem is, who knows where the opponent will attack

It is impossible for the other two countries to mobilize their troops to defend Zhou, and the same Cheng Zhou will not do it, mobilizing their own troops to defend the other two countries.

What's more, how can this work?

Mobilize troops to let the other party know, when the time comes when the country is empty, the other party will be able to take advantage of the emptiness.

He made such a proposal, and he was completely thinking that once the opponent's army came to the city, he would communicate with the other two countries, hoping that the opponent would send troops to help at that time.

It's better than going to rescue the opponent and sending troops temporarily when they encounter the most dangerous situation.

In the court hall, because of various disputes, he hastily withdrew from the court.

The anger on the face of Emperor Cheng Zhou who returned to the harem has not subsided.

Princess Yuqing came slowly, and the maid who followed her was holding a tray with freshly cooked lotus seed soup on it.

"Why is the father so angry?"

Princess Yuqing said softly, and after asking the maid to serve the lotus seed soup, she waved her plain hand to make her retreat.

Seeing the daughter in front of him, Emperor Yun Mo looked a little better when he saw this.

"It's not the drought and locust plagues everywhere, and the people have no crops, but it's... hey..."

At the end, he also sighed heavily, his face full of helplessness.

As soon as Yuqing listened to the words, she immediately understood that the treasury was out of money.

The main hall on the side collapsed, and it has not been repaired until now because of lack of money.

Princess Yuqing hesitated for a moment, watching her father hesitate to speak.

"What's the matter, if you have something to say directly, why are you so awkward with your father?"

Seeing the other party's appearance like this, Emperor Yunmo said strangely.

Seeing this, Yuqing plucked up her courage and said.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Xinghan City is recruiting people aggressively. Since there are so many disaster victims, why not send them directly to Xinghan City? This will also give the common people a way to survive."

She had heard a long time ago about the excellent news that Lu Chensheng went to Xing Seoul and governed Xing Seoul.

And Xing Seoul City is recruiting people wantonly, it seems that there are not enough people.

She just felt that if the victims of the disaster were brought to Xinghan City, Lu Chensheng would not refuse anyone who came.

Emperor Yunmo was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and then showed some hesitation.

Going through this way can indeed solve the problem of the victims, but because of Zhou Guo's face...

In addition, will Star Seoul accept these refugees?

But it wasn't that the refugees were sent there, and then the other party made a big publicity saying that Cheng Zhou couldn't save them, or that they didn't want these people.

If this is the case, it will ruin your own reputation!

When Emperor Yunmo thought of this, he immediately hesitated, wondering whether he should accept his daughter's opinion or not.

Chapter 472 Cheng Zhou Kingdom Mission

Yuqing could see that Emperor Yunmo was a bit hesitant.

After a little thought in my heart, I understood what my father was thinking, and said it softly.

"I heard that Mr. Lu in Star Seoul is very short of people. If the father is worried, why not let the daughter go and ask? The daughter has a relationship with the other party anyway, and will report back to the father after the inquiry."

Bai Yi was dismissed as a general by Emperor Yunmo, using Lu Chensheng as an excuse.

If it is said that Lu Chensheng will have some grievances in his heart at that time, it is really possible.

It's actually not bad to ask Princess Yuqing to go over and ask about the situation.

When Emperor Yunmo heard the words, his heart was immediately moved.

If so many people don't help the disaster, who knows what will happen?

After thinking about it carefully, it would be better to let my daughter go and ask.

Thinking of this, Yun Mo didn't hesitate anymore, and waved his hand in agreement.

Star Seoul, Lu Chensheng is frowning at the moment looking at the information in front of him.

"There are countless hungry people in Chengzhou, and the bark of the trees they pass by are all eaten up?"

"My subordinates have already asked the merchants of Chengzhou Kingdom. This year, there are droughts and locust plagues in Chengzhou. ..."

The guards on the side didn't say the rest, but Lu Chensheng also understood the meaning of the words.

If you are so hungry, what else can you do?If you think about it carefully, you will know.

This is the case in the farming era. Once the sky is not beautiful, the common people will be turned into bones on the roadside.

"How many disaster victims are there in total? Is there a specific number?"

The intelligence did not specify how many victims there were, and the number given was only an approximate number, which said 10 people.

But Lu Chensheng knew after thinking about it, there might only be 10 people.

The number given on the scene would have been lowered a lot. It was only given in order to appease people's hearts and not to show that he was too incompetent.

"This, my subordinate didn't ask for details, but I heard that there should be no less than 20 people."

20?

The expression on Lu Chensheng's face moved.

There are not 20 people in the entire city of Star Seoul now! What will happen to the 20 disaster victims?

"How much food is stored in Star Seoul today?"

"There are 300 million stones."

More than 1000 million stones?Even if these victims were received, it should be enough time.

"If you open a granary and go to Cheng Zhou for relief, will you be stopped by Cheng Zhou's people?"

Lu Chensheng thought for a while, then turned around and asked.

Some of them have grudges with Cheng Zhou Guo, and some of them have some quarrels, but Lu Chensheng has no way to sit idly by with so many people.

"The journey to Chengzhou is inconvenient. To transport so much food, a large number of soldiers and horses must be escorted. Right now, there are a lot of heavy cavalry, and the remaining troops are enough to defend the satellite city of Seoul.

If a large number of people are being sent at this moment, Xinghan City will be completely empty. This plan is not appropriate, let alone sending out a large number of soldiers and horses, then Cheng Zhou Guo may not be so easy to talk about.

If the other party took our food and used it to relieve the disaster, wouldn't it mean that he would lose his wife and lose his army?

Although General Chengxue went to the grassland with his soldiers and horses, what should we do if some captives go south and take the opportunity to attack our city of Seoul?Please be careful, my lord! "

Li Daifu who was on the side heard the words and immediately said aloud.

If it is the people of Xinghan city, then of course they must be saved.

It's just that it's from another country, not to mention the rest, the fact that the other party is far away from this place, and the inconvenience of the journey is enough to make him feel that this plan is wrong.

With so much food, soldiers must be sent to escort it.

After all, even if it is safe along the way, what if it arrives somewhere?

The victims were so hungry that looting would definitely happen without a large number of soldiers to suppress them.

All this is to be considered.

Hearing what the other party said, Lu Chensheng couldn't help frowning, and rubbed his forehead vigorously.

"We should always come up with a regulation. We can't see the people of Cheng Zhou country starving to death. It's said above that when Cheng Zhou country arrived, they didn't take any disaster relief actions. They said that the treasury was empty."

Lu Chensheng was a little irritable. On the one hand, he hoarded food to prevent the city from being besieged one day, and on the other hand, he also thought that if there was a famine or something, he could help the disaster.

Now there is food, but it is quite difficult.

"Report, the envoy of Zhou Kingdom asked to see him. The person in charge is Princess Qingyu, who wants to meet the shopkeeper."

Just when Lu Chensheng was a little irritable, a guard from outside hurried in, and then said with fists clasped.

"The envoy of Cheng Zhou Kingdom? Could it be related to the disaster victims?"

Lu Chensheng raised his brows, "Bring them in and meet the guests in the main hall."

"Yes!"

The attendant responded immediately, turned around and hurried down.

"You guys go down first, I'll go meet Princess Yuqing first."

Speaking of which, Lu Chensheng had met this princess Yuqing a few times, but he never thought that the other party would also think of coming here.

Originally, the other party was going to marry Jiang Guo, but Jiang Jinjing, who had just taken over the position, was dissatisfied with the conditions Jiang Guo had offered before, so the previous agreement was voided.

But also because of this, the current relationship between Cheng Zhou Guo and Jiang Guo is not very good.

Lu Chensheng was sitting in the main hall, and after a while, Princess Yuqing walked in from outside the door.

When he saw Lu Chensheng inside, his beautiful eyes lit up slightly.

"Long time no see, Mr. Lu is still handsome."

Princess Yuqing gave a salute to Lu Chensheng.

"Why should Princess Yuqing be so polite, please sit down quickly."

Lu Chensheng stretched out his hand to signal the other party not to be so polite.

"Why is Mr. Lu so born that he even called the princess?"

Princess Yuqing was a little dissatisfied. Although she disappeared for some time, she didn't have such a status.

Lu Chensheng was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Then let Miss Yuqing sit down, and Brother Yu."

As Lu Chensheng said, he looked at Yu Feihan on the side. The two had met several times before, and never thought that they would meet at this moment.

Yu Feihan cupped his hands at Lu Chensheng and thanked him.

"It's been a few years since the last farewell, time is not forgiving."

Lu Chensheng looked at the two acquaintances in front of him, feeling a little bit emotional in his heart, only feeling a little dazed.

Yu Qing pursed her lips when she heard the words, "Yeah, I didn't expect to meet again, it turned out to be like this, Mr. Lu already owns a city and has become the ruler of this place."

When she first came in, she took a cursory look, and found that the prosperity of this place was not inferior to that of the imperial capital.

It's only been a few years, and Lu Chensheng has actually achieved this level.

Chapter 473 Acceptance

When Lu Chensheng heard this, his expression was a little bit emotional.

"The situation is compelling."

Lu Chensheng shook his head, not going to continue on this topic.

"Are you two here for fun? If that's the case, you have to have fun."

When Yu Qing heard this, her pretty face suddenly showed a bit of embarrassment. She didn't come here just for fun.
