Chapter 245 Decision (Part 1)

Jinling

The Thirteenth Division, among the officials of the Chu State, is a name that is well-known but cannot be mentioned lightly.

Everyone knows that the Thirteenth Sessions are in charge of information from all over the country, and all matters within the Chu State, and any matters that the King of Chu cares about and is interested in, the Thirteenth Sessions and the Fanzi will appear.

They are officials, merchants, or landlords, and they are all over the Central Plains, but few people know about the specific institutions.

Most officials know about the General Office of the Thirteenth Division.

The nature of the Thirteenth Division is the yamen. This yamen is relatively remote and is built in the inner city. In the inner city area, there are many pavilions and towers covered with rare flowers, plants and trees. They are all covered with thick ancient trees, green crowns and shades.

Therefore, the small hall of Thirteen Divisions is not eye-catching. There is a courtyard here with five spans and seven entries. It is arranged very elegantly and is waiting for the king to summon him at any time.

If it weren't for a golden plaque at the door, no one could tell that it was the General Office of the Thirteenth Division of Chu State.

Few outsiders can come here. Although they have not deliberately stopped others from coming, it is very rare for officials who are willing to come to the Thirteenth Division due to the influence of the name Thirteenth Division.

At the gate of the Thirteenth Division, there were two rows of people standing, each of whom was twenty years old, with the coldness of intelligence work, and pressed a long knife in his hand and swept around.

The senior office of the Thirteenth Department is behind the yamen.

On this day, the people in the yamen just started to handle matters. The hundreds of households responsible for receiving information received a letter from Fei Ge. After reading the contents, the hundreds of households did not dare to delay at all. They quickly handed over the news to Jiang Xiaofang, a thousand households who were in charge here.

Jiang Xiaofang was only twenty-seven years old this year. Both his parents died since childhood and were taken as slaves by the Wang family. Later, he became a servant behind Wang Hongyi and made military achievements. He was also capable, so he naturally promoted step by step.

He once had a wife, now dead, married a bride, had a son and a daughter, and was innocent. Jiang Xiaofang was cautious, introverted, and was well-behaved. After being promoted to Qianhu by Wang Hongyi, he was even more loyal.

After reading the content, Jiang Xiaofang, a thousand households, could no longer sit still and got up and left the room.

"I want to go to the palace immediately. Also, you two will go out with me." Jiang Xiaofang said, and asked someone to find him official uniforms and put them on, and pointed to the two men and went out with him at the same time.

Soon after getting ready, Jiang Xiaofang said to the two of them: "Let's go!"

"promise!"

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room

A side hall is separated by Wang Hongyi's study. At this time, it was the weather outside. Although the hall was empty, it was inevitable that the heat would be filled. However, in the large basin placed in the corner, there were ice cubes, which emitted a burst of air conditioning, which reduced the temperature in the hall a lot.

There are also two basins in the study room that are chilled, and it doesn't look stuffy inside.

The layout is quite elegant, with calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, bookshelf on the left and right, and many rare books are placed on it.

A generous desk was placed inside, and at this time there were several stacks of memorials on the desk.

All of these need to be reviewed by Wang Hongyi.

Wang Hongyi, who was sitting in front of the desk in thin clothes, had sweat from his forehead. Whenever this happened, an eunuch would come over and hand him a wet towel.

Wiping two hands on the forehead and then on the cheeks, feeling that the pores were as cool as they were. Wang Hongyi handed the towel back to the eunuch and asked without raising his head, "When is it now?"

"The king, it's already three o'clock." The eunuch bent down slightly and replied softly.

"Let's use lunch here, just make two light items on the stove. The weather is stuffy and there is no need to be too much of this meal." Wang Hongyi said while reviewing the memorials.

"I understand. I'll talk to them now." After hearing this, the eunuch said hurriedly.

"Yeah." Wang Hongyi was busy at this time. He said mercy and continued to review the memorials on the table without raising his head.

He did not dare to disturb the King of Chu anymore, so the eunuch carefully retreated.

He was the one who served here and would not go to pass the order by himself. When he left the hall, he saw a big girl serving him.

The palace maids were divided into scoundrels, Xiao Ya and Da Ya.

Then I went up to "Long Records" from the ninth grade. Speaking of "Long Records", I have something to do, so the one who serves Da Ya, who is very pretty and standing outside the door.

The eunuch naturally understood the intention of these women to work hard to take the job here, and had never had a good impression of such restless women. Seeing him standing in the shade of trees to escape the heat, he waved to the other party and called over.

"Since you have nothing to do here, go and pass on a order." The eunuch repeated the order of the King of Chu and reminded him: "Go and tell them quickly, don't miss the time."

"...No." The big girl ran away quickly. Looking at her running away, the eunuch shook her head and turned around.

Just as I was about to go in, I saw someone coming in a hurry.

He knew the person who came here, Jiang Xiaofang, a thousand households from the Thirteenth Division who often came here.

The eunuch in the palace did not dare to be entrusted to such an official. Seeing him coming hurriedly, he knew that he might have something to come to see the king, so the eunuch stopped and waited.

After a while, Jiang Xiaofang came to him.

Jiang Xiaofang knew this eunuch. As soon as he arrived at the eunuch, he bowed and said politely: "It turns out to be Eunuch Chang. I wonder if the king is inside?"

Eunuch Chang is an eunuch of eighth rank and is a grade-level eunuch and should not be neglected.

"The king is inside. Lord Jiang has something to do to meet the king? Today, the king is very busy."

"I would also like to ask Eunuch Chang to report to Jiang. Jiang has something important to see the king."

Seeing this, the eunuch nodded and said, "Since that's the case, please wait here for a while."

Jiang Xiaofang bowed and said, "I'm working hard."

The eunuch stopped talking and entered the hall.

"Someone asks for a meeting?" Hearing the voice outside vaguely, Wang Hongyi folded another reviewed memorial on a stack of documents that had been processed, raised his head, looked at the person in front of him, and asked, "Who is outside?"

"Your Majesty, Jiang Xiaofang, a thousand households of the Thirteen Division, asked for a meeting!" the eunuch replied respectfully.

"Jiang Xiaofang?" The movement in his hand was paused. The people of Thirteenth Division never came for trivial matters. Wang Hongyi said without thinking: "Let him come in!"

"No." The eunuch went out. After a while, Jiang Xiaofang walked in from outside.

When he arrived at Wang Hongyi's case, he knelt down on the ground and shouted: "My minister Jiang Xiaofang, pay homage to the king!"

"Jiang Qing, please be calm."

"Thank you, the king." After thanking you again, Jiang Xiaofang stood up.

"Jiang Qing comes here, but if you have something to report to Gu?" Wang Hongyi put the pen in his hand aside and said to the person in front of him.

"Your Majesty, I have just received a letter from Fei Ge. Youzhou is in chaos. Seventy thousand Hu people invaded Youzhou. First, they broke Yushan, slaughtered 40,000 people in the city, and then captured Yuyang County."

"Now attacks Beiwu City, Beiwu Jiedushi Lu Gao defends the city. The Hu people drove the surrendered people of Yuyang County to attack the city by 100,000 people, most of which were shot and killed. The city was covered with corpses and blood!"

"This is the letter sent back by the Thirteenth Division in Youzhou. Please read it with your own eyes." As he said that, he took out the letter and raised it high.

The eunuch hurriedly came over, took the letter to Wang Hongyi's hand.

Wang Hongyi was shocked when he heard Jiang Xiaofang's reply. When he saw the content above, his face darkened.

It is true that the Hu people have invaded in large numbers.

However, just invading, you can drive away the people to attack the city and slaughter the city. It was indeed a means of the previous life.

Although this method is criticized, it can indeed achieve the effect of deterring the enemy and has a far-reaching impact, resulting in nearby Han cities, fearing that their methods will be surrendered one after another.

Of course, the city will be massacred forever, and will inevitably be subject to death.

Secondly, population is a kind of property. If all the people are killed, there will be no more slaves to drive them. It will be difficult to rebuild and rule the occupied areas in the future.

This is reasonable for predatory wars, but it is unreasonable for rule.

Obviously, in the early days, the Hu people did not think of really ruling the Central Plains, but had the intention to massacre the Han people. It was not until later that they discovered that the Han people were killed and the resistance became increasingly fierce, and that the policies gradually changed.

However, the accidental battle was the first. In the later stage, it was also known as the intimidation and the differentiation policy of using the Han people to govern the Han Dynasty, which led to the rapid pacification, which became the dragon energy and the result.

There are many similar examples on Earth.

There were similar situations in Qin State and Xiang Yu.

Of course, what is particularly obvious is that the Qing Dynasty massacred Han people in the early days and killed millions of Han people in the northeast. Later, they were famous and came to pacify. As a result, the Han people surrendered one after another, and ruled hundreds of millions of Han people with the 100,000 Eight Banners and maintained the world for three hundred years.

As for the destruction of culture and its bad reputation will be recorded in history, isn’t there a plan to revise historical books?

However, Wang Hongyi was most surprised at the moment, but the time of the Hu people invading changed.

In the last life, the time when the Hu people invaded was originally two years later, but now it is ahead of schedule.

At this time, the princes in the north had not yet become a climate. Can they resist like in history for a few years?

If you cannot change history yourself, it will make it difficult for the North to gather strength to resist the Hu people, which will inevitably lead to the Hu people occupying the north at a faster speed.

I still have to speed up my actions. Now, there are very few resources that can predict.

"Jiang Qing, this information is very timely. It is worth keeping paying close attention to the situation in Youzhou. Once there is any change, report it to Gu immediately. Also, after receiving the news from Bingzhou, you must report to Gu immediately."

"No!" Jiang Xiaofang responded quickly.

Wang Hongyi looked solemn and said, "You go down first and hand over the information to the Sewen Pavilion."

How to play this game and how many resources are there to use, I really have to consider carefully and prepare for the future.

Foresight, food, materials, intelligence, and navy must be used.
