Chapter Fifty-Three
After his rebirth, Wang Anshi seemed to have made great changes. Even when he was on the battlefield, he was curious and said a lot of nonsense.↖,
"General, I always see that all the refugees are eating meat soup, why are the soldiers eating steamed buns and dried vegetables? If we want to let the refugees recover, the general will put the cart before the horse."
Wang Anshi, who could even blow away a thin wind, followed Yun Zheng to patrol the camp. He just left the barracks where the refugees lived, and couldn't help asking questions.
Yun Zheng said helplessly: "Those bastards are already having a nausea after eating meat. I don't have that much tea to help them get greasy, so I let them eat corn every once in a while so that their stomachs will not be able to overcome the disease."
Wang Anshi looked at Yun Zheng in surprise and said, "Sure enough?"
"Of course that's the case."
"Can you say that the general's beef and mutton are already so much that he can't finish eating?"
Yun Zheng smiled and said, "It's true. Hu Balunyin and his cavalry attacked the Liao shepherd team and almost killed the cattle and sheep. It was a pity to throw the bodies in the snow to feed the wild wolves. I ordered people to get all the cattle and sheep back, peel off the skin and make winter clothes for the refugees. All the meat was smoked as military rations, but there were still a lot of meat and bones left, so they had to let the whole army eliminate these meat and bones together. The result was not ideal. When the refugees came, they just took out all the meat and bones. On the one hand, they could leave military rations, and on the other hand, they could strengthen the body of those refugees."
Wang Anshi laughed and said, "It seems that I and the refugees have a good reputation. Even in Tokyo, I may not have mutton eaten every day."
Yun Zheng heard Wang Anshi's words and said strangely: "The prince and the prince are in line with the refugees."
"What's wrong? They are all flesh and blood, and there is no big difference except for the more books I read."
After hearing Wang Anshi's words, Yun Zheng didn't want to continue talking to this guy. It was obvious that this guy had seen a trace of the road.
In this era when everything is inferior but has high school education, it is already an accident to have such insights. When this idea of equal rights appeared in Wang Anshi's heart, Yun Zheng didn't know what this guy would do. He was a man who sat up and walked, and he was the most outstanding figure in the Song Dynasty. Yun Zheng at least knew that Pang Ji was trying his best to train this guy and treat him as the next prime minister.
Although Wang Anshi suffered a great loss now, it was Pang Ji and others who were trying to make his tough temperament smoother and push him to the front desk for great use.
Now, the monster appears...
"Xiao Dahu has been hiding in Xijing City for a full half month. Something happened before, but now it seems that there is no movement at all. Xijing City is so quiet!"
Old Chen Lin was worried after climbing down from Diao Dou, and Su Xun, who was also trembling with cold, also climbed down from Diao Dou.
"I look forward to this silence continuing until one day when we enter the city, there is no one."
Seeing Yun Zheng's relaxed statement, Su Xun shook his head and said, "It's impossible. There will always be some people who survive. If it really reaches that point, please allow me not to enter the city."
After saying this, even Chen Lin's face turned pale. Wang Anshi looked dull and pointed at Xijing City and said, "It's just a cannibalistic thing. It's so good to follow Cao Cao's old story!"
"Zhang Xun did this when he was guarding Huaiyang. He just didn't know if there would be a trace of regret in his heart when his concubine was thrown into the boiling water."
"It is recorded in history that Zhang Xun's concubine is a strange woman who jumped into the soup pot automatically..." Chen Lin said naughtyly.
Yun Zheng, Wang Anshi, and Su Xun stared at him with wide eyes and said, "Are you sure?"
Chen Lin waved her hands repeatedly and said, "It's not what I said, it's recorded in history."
Wang Anshi sighed and said, "Since Sima Qian's "Records of the Grand Historian", the history of the country has become a beauty that can be applied to everyone. Anyone can add the beauty he thinks to the cheeks of this beauty. Of course, it is inevitable to apply makeup and powder.
I wonder if the General has heard of the caveman recently?”
Yun Zheng shook his head and said, "I don't know!"
"Sima Guang thought that Sima Qian's younger generation was about to compile his annals. He was worried that the fire stick would hurt the text, so he dug out a huge cellar from his home in Luoyang and hid in it to compile his history books, named "Zizhi Tongjian".
He was going to imitate the old story of Lu Buwei to compile a rare and ancient book. Any emperor could correct his gains and losses by reading this book. He had a great ambition!"
"We seemed to be talking about Xiao Dahu..."
"If you know it's a sin, if you don't know it's not a sin!" Wang Anshi rudely interrupted Su Xun and continued to talk about the fact that people surnamed Sima like to write history books.
The more than 20,000 refugees I personally brought need a piece of land to settle down and a piece of land to cultivate crops to feed more refugees.
Along the way, I watched the refugees he brought with me die one by one on the road, which almost made Wang Anshi crazy. The two evils were the least. Now, as long as he resettled these refugees, it was the biggest thing for him, and he was unable to take care of the rest.
Yun Zheng didn't want to say anything about being cannibalistic. Since Xiao Dahu didn't start breaking through at the first time, their fate was already destined.
Seeing the refugees behind him building the third ice wall, both Yun Zheng and Wang Anshi were very satisfied with their speed. Anyway, heavy snow has covered the grassland, so it is impossible to move eastward. Staying here for winter is also a good choice.
"I heard that the "Zizhi Tongjian" compiled by Junshi is the largest chronicle of our Song Dynasty. The book is expected to have a total of 294 volumes, which runs through ancient and modern times. The first is the first to be divided into the Han, Zhao and Wei families in the early Warring States Period and the next to the end of the Five Dynasties before Taizu destroyed the Later Zhou Dynasty, which was 1,362 years.
Jun Shi is planning to write down the historical facts of these 1,362 years according to the times, year and month as the season, historical facts as the latitude, and orderly; explain the causes and consequences of major historical events clearly and all aspects of the relationship, so that later generations can clearly understand the development of historical facts.
I was fortunate to read the opening part. Jun Shi’s literary talent is brilliant, his narrative is unrestrained, and his entries are clear and identifiable. Once this book appears, it will definitely be a brilliant book."
"I thought this was inevitable, but Sima Jun really wanted to turn this into a must-read book for His Royal Highness to ascend the throne, and I'm afraid the time was a bit rushed."
"Yes, yes, your Majesty..."
Wang Anshi shrank his hands in his sleeves and said while walking with Yun Zheng, although the winter sun cannot give people much warmth, Yun Zheng still likes to take two steps in the sunshine just if he is fine.
Seeing the two of them laughing and laughing, Su Shi sighed and said to Chen Lin: "This is the reason why I don't want to be an official. As long as I carry this shackle, I need to abandon my emotions and desires and put my responsibilities first. Now these two people can be called the literary elites of the Song Dynasty. They are all well-read poets and books. For the sake of their interests, they forgot the way of benevolence and forgiveness of their ancestors!"
Seeing that Chen Lin's eyes began to grow bigger, he hurriedly said, "I also know that this is the kindness of a woman, but if a man doesn't even have this kind of kindness of a woman, he will be unhealthy!"
Seeing that Su Xun had changed his words from being innocent to being pragmatic, Chen Lin said in order to show that she was still a human being, "Xiao Dahu probably has no other way to go except for surrender."
Su Xun smiled bitterly and pointed at the two people who had already walked away and said, "Even if Xiao Dahu wanted to surrender, he had to ask the two people whether they were willing or not. For them, Xijing City, which did not have Liao people, was the best Xijing City."
"Wang Anshi ordered the refugees to build the third ice wall, but he didn't intend to leave any way out for the Liao people. This is the city of ice and snow."
"More than that, if Xiao Dahu didn't start breaking through, the general would probably throw incendiary bombs into Xijing City.
Mr. Chen didn't know that the commander of Xijing could actually conquer the city five years ago. The reason why he stayed until now was that he hoped to use this city to drag the Liao army. Now, this fruit has been fully ripe. As long as the commander is willing, our soldiers can ride horses and enter Xijing from the tunnels that God knows to dig there!" (To be continued...)
