Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

Generally speaking, people who can be used as a big picture can also be used as a bigger picture after being killed, but normally, no one will look at the problem in this way.

But for the heads of the major families, they are actually very clear about the correct way to break certain things, or in other words, as long as there is enough cost, any situation can be broken.

In Chang'an, Chen Xi has already nodded to release the strategic reserve of grain and grass, and asked Sima Lang, the governor of Xinzhou, to gradually transport the grain and grass to Central Asia to ensure the stability of the Central Asian region.

Of course, these words are official words. In fact, Chen Xi's basic goal is to stabilize the base of the current major families. As for the people in the Parthian homeland who have not yet been naturalized, if there are extra supplies, Chen Xi does not mind providing humanitarian assistance, but with limited manpower and material resources, he can only protect his brothers first.

After all, if there is no sufficient need, Chen Xi will never do such a thing as letting his brothers starve and caring about the barbarians thousands of miles away.

As for what is sufficient and necessary, we can see from the Roman Empire that it is sufficient and necessary for brothers thousands of miles away. There is no other way, so we can only use this word.

Therefore, in this case, how Sima Lang transports under the current people, and the efficiency of transportation, etc. are also related to the stability of Central Asia.

Yang Zhong didn't want to think about what Sima Lang thought. Maybe he would play a game with the Sima family at other times, but at this time, as long as it was not delivered within the time he could afford, he would use his own means to let the Han Empire change someone to do the job. As for the price, Laozi's two thousand stones in exchange for your two thousand stones is nothing, but it is necessary at this time.

In the upper reaches of the Guishui River, in the mountain city of Bactria, Chen Zhong barely recovered under the treatment of a group of doctors, and then received a secret report from East Africa.

"Kurma, what's the situation in East Africa?" Chen Zhong drank ginseng tea, adjusted his own qi and blood, and tried to deal with what might happen next in a better state.

"The locust plague has been solved, but the remaining locust plague may still go to Xinzhou through the Guishui River. The three empires currently have no spare energy to completely eradicate the locust plague." Kurma's face was somewhat ugly.

After all, during the last round of locust plague, as a master of internal energy, Kurma also saw with his own eyes what it meant to have locusts covering the sky and the fertile fields on both sides of the Guishui River turned into white land in an instant.

In short, it was an outrageous move that scared Kurma, who had been staying in the Beigui Mountain area for many years and had really seen the locust plague for the first time.

"Let me see." Chen Zhong took the secret letter bitterly. It was not that he had no Chen family members to use, but Kurma was equivalent to one of his signatures, and Kurma had a certain ability to command troops, so Chen Zhong had always brought him with him, which was also a continuous attempt to win him over. Of course, he had already become one of his own family members, but Chen Zhong still continued this blatant move to win his heart, which was also a great deal of money.

"For us, this is no different from not solving the problem at all." Chen Zhong sighed and said, "Speaking of which, how did we do during the locust plague?"

"We have tried our best to collect all the grain that can be collected and brought it back to the Bactrian mountain city." Kurma repeated what happened during Chen Zhong's treatment.

"Have you connected with the Pamirs?" Chen Zhong asked casually, and then got a satisfactory answer, "What about Xinzhou? According to the saying, after Chen Zichuan issued the grain release order, the grain of the Han Dynasty should have reached us by now."

"Not yet." Kurma shook his head and said, Chen Zhong was stunned when he heard it.

"Really not." Kurma said again when he saw Chen Zhong's expression.

Chen Zhong's face couldn't help but look a little ugly. They were in the upper reaches of the Guishui River, ten days away from the Pamirs. When Li Jue and his three men attacked Fuward, they came directly from the Pamirs. Although there was a reason for getting free supplies from Fuward, it was enough to explain the distance between the two sides.

The Pamirs and Xinzhou are essentially adjacent. In theory, the grain and grass should have been transported here anyway. Even if the scale is small, the first wave of aid should have been delivered to the mountain city of Bactria.

"Has the grain and grass been shipped?" Chen Zhong adjusted his expression and looked at Kurma calmly.

"That's confirmed." Kurma nodded and said, "The last round of news received was that it arrived at the Pamirs ten days ago."

"Then it should be soon. It is probably because there is no ship prepared and it takes a relatively long time to go directly through the desert." Chen Zhong tried his best to think about this matter in a positive way. After all, Sima Lang is his nephew, so it shouldn't be so outrageous.

"How big is our food gap now?" Chen Zhong no longer asked about the food transported by Xinzhou, but instead focused on the existing food and grass at home.

"According to the order you issued before you fell ill, we destroyed four grain stores that raised their prices after the locust plague, and started to distribute porridge on a large scale seven days ago. Our current stockpile of grain should be able to last for more than eighty days." Kulma quickly informed Chen Zhong of the detailed data compiled by Chen Yi.

"More than eighty days." Chen Zhong quickly calculated in his mind and determined that more than eighty days would be enough for them to survive until the next round of grain, and the pressure in his heart suddenly eased a lot.

Unlike other families, the Chen family has invested in almost any other doctrine you can think of except the Legalists since ancient times, so when needed, they can always pick up some strange things and use them.

For example, when going out to build a country this time, other families can only bring 102 fast-growing rice, sowing a batch every year for strategic reserves.

The Chen family has professional agricultural researchers and has built special farms for breeding and hydroponics.

After all, the farmers have received the Chen family's tribute money, and the information of the various philosophers has been passed down. Although the Chen family will not invest heavily in this aspect, at least they will train a few suitable people in each generation.

After all, this kind of thing is a model of benefiting without spending money, doing it easily, and inheriting the family.

And there are always such rare talents trained by professional schools, and there are no such rare talents, and they are trained when needed, which is really two different things.

At least the Chen family sent their own targeted talents to Cookie for further study for a few years, so they can really be used. For other families, facing this situation, to be honest, they should burn more incense and gamble on the probability of reincarnation.

Therefore, when the Chen family took over the Bactra Mountain City and quickly cashed in their own resources, many things came into being naturally.

How to say these things that have come into being, most of the time they are useless, but when they are useful, they can really save lives.

For example, the breeding and hydroponic room built by the Chen family in the Bactra Mountain City has been maintaining the cultivation of 102 fast-growing rice. In other words, once the locust plague is over, the Chen family will directly enter the growth cycle of fast-growing rice instead of the full reproductive cycle.

Don’t think it’s only a dozen days faster, less than twenty days, but when there is no food, getting food rations a dozen or twenty days earlier can directly save countless lives.

This is also the reason why Chen Zhong was not so panicked after hearing that his family still had more than 80 days of food. To put it bluntly, it was because his family had a storage warehouse. The food in this storage warehouse was enough for more than 20 days. Combined with the rationing system, the total food reserve exceeded 110 days. Even if the third round of locust plague passed by them a month later, it would barely be enough for them to survive until the autumn harvest.

As for the problem that the autumn grain was unpalatable, is this a problem?

At most, grind it into rice noodles and add some other seasonings to it. Unpalatable? Not possible. The Chen family is professional in making food.

But even so, Chen Zhong was not completely relieved. It was just enough. It was still very dangerous for food. It was better to borrow two batches of food from Xinzhou first and then pay it back.

However, Chen Zhong waited for two days and still did not receive the food.

"Didn't they say that the food and grass arrived at the Pamirs 12 days ago? Even if the Xinzhou people didn't take the Guishui River because of the lack of boats, but bypassed the desert, they should have arrived by now." Chen Zhong said with a gloomy face, "Don't tell me that they encountered bandits. This is pure nonsense."

s??????.???

It's not impossible to encounter bandits, but it's impossible for bandits to stop the Xinzhou team transporting food and grass, especially in the Pamirs and Bactra Mountain City area. It's absolutely impossible.

Kulma's face was also very ugly. He couldn't figure out why the other party was so slow.

"It's not your problem, nor is it a problem of investigation. It seems to be a problem of human hearts. Although Sima Boda is a super talent, he is still trapped by what he learned when he was young." Chen Zhong sighed, he has realized what the real situation is.

Chen Zhong is an old hand, and he has experienced turmoil, witnessed the madness of the Han Dynasty, and the bloody Kushan. He knows very well that rules are just a layer of civilized clothing. When it comes to life and death, no matter how beautiful the clothing is, it can't withstand the destruction of animal nature.

"Yang Xiu is not unintelligent. He is just trapped by what he learned. How can someone who can awaken spiritual talents not be smart?" Chen Zhong whispered to himself. As a sacrifice for Yuan Feng Jianyuan, Chen Zhong knew very well why the Yang family's lineage was gone. Yang Xiu's behavior was out of lineage, and Yuan Shu's behavior was even more out of lineage. Why did Yang Xiu not only die, but also the lineage he was involved in was gone, but Yuan Shu was fine.

Rules are normally talked about, but you also know that this is just normal talk.

After hesitating again and again, Chen Zhong felt that he should still help Sima Lang. Although Sima Jun was dead, the friendship between the Sima family and the Chen family could not be broken so easily. He should still help.

"I hope the other party can wake up. What should be done at this time is not this kind of thing, but to deliver food and grass to others at the fastest speed and with the highest efficiency. The phrase "the way to death" is never a lie." Chen Zhong wrote on the secret letter with a complicated expression, trying his best to persuade Sima Lang, otherwise this time it would not be a question of whether he could step down safely.

The Central Asian noble families who have survived to this day are all real military nobles. Who doesn't know how long it takes to transport their own food and grass from the Pamir Mountains to their own treasury? This is all related to the fate of their family and the key points of their strategy and tactics.

It is true that these people would not be so unkind as to not give any extra time, but they deliberately waste time, artificially create pressure and try their best, but there are indeed difficulties on the road, which leads to late arrival. Who can't see it? Do they really think that the noble families standing in Central Asia are all fools?

"Let the eagle deliver this thing to the Xinzhou governor's mansion. I have tried my best. If he still insists on his wrongdoing, then let's do what we have to do. I have no other good ideas." Chen Zhong looked helpless. He really had no other ideas. Sima Lang wanted to kill himself, so let him. Good words could not persuade a damned ghost.

In Xinzhou, Sima Lang silently calculated the days. Since Chen Xi sent Liu Yan to Xinzhou for inspection and then allocated grain and grass to Central Asia, Sima Lang kept calculating the time. Of course, grain and grass were delivered, but considering the current chaos in Central Asia, Sima Lang strengthened the protection of grain and grass transportation, which naturally further reduced the efficiency of grain and grass transportation.

However, this is a reasonable and legal thing. Even if the lawsuit is brought to Chen Xi, it is completely reasonable from the perspective of rules.

After all, Central Asia is indeed full of bandits, and the Han army itself requires that in places where there are many bandits, it is necessary to strengthen defense and scout range, reduce the marching speed, and be ready to fight at any time.

Therefore, it is completely reasonable to march slowly.

Sima Lang is waiting for the major families to come to him based on this rationality, just like when he was in Xinzhou and the major families allocated population from him when they took the northwest passage. There is no need to say more, just this kind of tacit understanding is what he wants.

And now Sima Lang is waiting for tacit understanding, waiting for those families who need food to speak up.

It’s just that this matter was not satisfactory from the beginning. Guo Zhao brought the three families of Guo Liuyin to Xinzhou and directly asked for food from the government treasury.

Sima Lang was actually reluctant to give it to the other party, but Chen Xi’s order to support Central Asia had been issued, and Guo Zhao, this crazy woman, really dared to do something out of the ordinary. After repeated consideration, Sima Lang directly delivered the food that was supposed to support the Guo family in Central Asia in Xinzhou.

Sima Lang was originally planning to move forward steadily and put pressure on Guo Zhao, but he didn't expect Guo Zhao to abandon his fiefdom and rush to Xinzhou with his core population, which made Sima Lang's original plan aborted on the spot.

"Boda, I used to think you were very smart, but this time I saw your unwise side, which is quite interesting." Guo Zhao received the news from Haftan. Although it was a pity that he couldn't get a share of the Midia Trading City, he was a little happy after learning about Sima Lang's stupid tricks from Haftan.

Sima Lang looked at the crazy woman in front of him calmly and didn't want to pay attention to her. Facing Sima Lang's expression, Guo Zhao just smiled. She didn't expect that she would encounter such an amazing operation just to avoid disaster in Xinzhou. She was simply stunned!

"Boda, our Guo Liuyin family is preparing to move back to the west. Although we have had some unpleasant things, I decided to give you a chance because you didn't cause trouble for me at other times." Guo Zhao said with a smile, and it can be seen that he was in a good mood.

"Opportunity?" Sima Lang looked at Guo Zhao strangely. Although he didn't like Guo Zhao's character, this crazy woman was indeed very capable. Therefore, when Guo Zhao said cheerfully that she would give him a chance, Sima Lang frowned. There was no point in the other party lying.

"Well, an opportunity." Guo Zhao repeated what he said.

"Okay, let me hear it." Sima Lang said curiously.

"If I kill you, will it be faster to replace the grain transport?" Guo Zhao said with a smile, and Sima Lang's face was gloomy when he heard it. What kind of opportunity is this?

Guo Zhao did not explain this, but shook his sleeves, turned around and walked forward, that is, when he went out, he waved his hand casually in the direction of Sima Lang.

Guo Zhao could only give so many suggestions about Sima Lang. As for whether the other party could understand it, that was not Guo Zhao's business. Anyway, whether he died or lived, it had no effect on Guo Zhao. In this case, he could just treat it as a fun thing. He should cherish it while he was alive. He never knew when he would come to Xinzhou, and he would find that the governor of Xinzhou had been replaced by a new group of people.

"Master..." Haftan bowed respectfully to Guo Zhao. Just as Guo Zhao said before, the three families of Guo, Liu and Yin were not going to stay in Xinzhou for long, and now was the time to set sail again.

"Let's go. Maybe the people here will have changed when we come next time." Guo Zhao said with some mockery. He was still playing tricks at this time. Didn't he know that the more he played tricks, the farther he would be from the military nobles? Sima Lang, who was obsessed with this kind of thing, might not be able to turn around.

In Chang'an, Chen Xi has received the biggest intelligence reports recently, such as the highest-level meeting between Kushan and Rome, and the emperors of both sides led their local elites to conduct detailed consultations, but the content of the consultations has not yet been obtained by the Han Dynasty.

There is no way, Xun Qi did not participate in this meeting. After all, at the beginning of this meeting, it was purely because of the serious loss of supermodel cloud energy that Vasudeva I made an outrageous behavior at the moment. After his mind cleared up, he also brought political and military talents gathered in Mathura, the new political center.

As for Xun Qi, Xun Qi is in Peshawar, which is basically equivalent to crossing half of the Kushan border from Mathura. Therefore, even if Vasudeva I wants to send Xun Qi to Rome to attend the highest-level meeting, I am afraid he will have to wait for some time.

This news is the same as what Lu Su estimated. Just seeing this news, everyone in the government office is somewhat ugly. After all, this level of meeting is enough to affect the overall situation.

Sigh, it seems that I have the most alliance leaders among all the girls. At this rate, in two months, I should have 2,000. Emmm, it's almost the tenth anniversary.
