"Please don't worry, Lord Hou, the humble position must be strictly guarded against death," Tong Xiong Fu Wenyan immediately assured him: "We will never let people who go against Zhou do anything reckless in our Youzhou."

"With Xiong Fu's words, I feel at ease."

Seeing that everything that needs to be explained has been explained, Zhenbeihou still has other things to be busy with.Therefore, he didn't keep Tong Xiongfu any more, and sent him away after a few sentences.

"By the way," in the study, Zhenbei Hou finally finished the matter at hand.Under the moonlight, he suddenly thought of his second son who had left home and hadn't returned yet, so he couldn't help but ask the attendant at the side, "Where is Li'er now?"

"Back to Lord Hou, when the second son sent a letter last time, he said that he had already arrived in Zhongshan country. According to the second son's footsteps, it is estimated that almost everyone should enter Youzhou now," the steward at the side estimated, and then replied .

Have you arrived in Youzhou yet?

Zhenbeihou frowned slightly when he heard this.

As the saying goes, when a child travels thousands of miles, the mother is worried.

Not to mention that Bai Li still had a reward from the imperial court on his body.

That amount, even a prince like Zhenbei Hou is a little jealous, let alone someone else.

Therefore, even if Zhenbeihou knew that his second son was not weak, even compared to the number one under his command, he might not be able to do much.

For a while, he still couldn't help but feel uneasy and worried for no reason.

Now people have finally returned to Youzhou, where they are under the jurisdiction of Beihou Mansion.Although I dare not say it, this person is absolutely safe.But it was finally possible to let Zhenbeihou's heart that had been carrying him all the time fall back to his atrium.

Of course, there is one more thing that is also on my mind.

"How dare you leave without saying goodbye, and sneak away to such a dangerous place after being away from home for so long. When you come back this time, you must have a good talk with him, and settle the score!"

Chapter 717 Merging state affairs (updates will resume tomorrow)

"These Huns are indeed a pack of hungry wolves!"

The capital, the imperial palace.

Not long after Zhenbei Marquis received the news, the Son of Heaven also received reports from Yanmen and Yumen.

However, these two reports did not bring the emperor a good mood.

On the contrary, its mood is even worse!

No way, who made these Huns not follow the previous agreement.After occupying the two passes of Yanmen and Yumen, he sent his troops southward and eastward, heading straight to Youzhou.

Instead, the lion opened his mouth wide and continued to ask for supplies!

You know, in order for these Huns to contribute, the imperial court has already prepared enough supplies for the other side.After the Huns entered the customs, they handed it over to the Huns.

That's enough rations for millions of troops for a month!

In order to squeeze out these supplies, the household department did not know how many people were grey-headed.

However, these Huns were not satisfied!

And the most important thing is that after the person in charge of communicating with the imperial court stated that the imperial court could no longer continue to supply the other party with supplies.The Huns even directly indulged the people below to plunder Bingzhou.

Until the communication between the relevant persons in charge of Yanmen and Yumen failed, and they had to choose to report it, several places in Bingzhou were looted!

For a while, although the emperor would not obediently fulfill the agreement with the Huns, he had already prepared for it.But when the day came to an end, he couldn't help showing a bad look on his face, and his eyes glowed coldly!

Of course, it's annoying, this problem should be solved or it needs to be solved.

After all, as soon as the Xiongnu stopped fighting, the Chen soldiers on the imperial court's side were on the border of Youji, and the army, which was preparing for the war and then followed suit, could only stand still.

At that time, let's not talk about the impact on the overall situation.The food and grass consumed by these two sides every day is enough to make the head of the household department frown.

Therefore, with his eyes flickering, the emperor ordered Song Gonggong on the side, "Song Dian, pass the imperial historian Chao Jing, the Taizhong doctor Cheng Bushi, and the right servant shoots Chen Zhen... into the palace."

"Yes."

Song Dian went away in response, and not long after, summoned the courtiers whom the emperor relied heavily on into the imperial city.

Seeing that everyone is here, the emperor is not talking nonsense.He directly signaled Eunuch Song to pass the two memorials to Qi et al.After Chao Jing and others learned the details, especially when they heard that the Huns dared to indulge the people below and plunder Bingzhou, they were also very angry.

For example, Cheng Buzhi, the most hot-tempered among them, cursed even more, wishing to rush to the frontier with a knife in hand.Let the Huns wait for the blood to splash on the spot.

However, the anger returned to anger, and all the important officials did not lose their sense of proportion.

Or to be more precise, those who can enter the eyes of the emperor, at least in quite a few aspects, have a certain consensus.

For example, at the moment, they all believed that for the imperial court, no matter how violent the Huns were, it was nothing more than a minor problem.The Zhenbei Hou Mansion and those rebels who rose up and made great achievements are the real troubles for the court.

In fact, the reason why the emperor recruited his ministers was also not to hold the Huns accountable.Instead, I hope that Chao Jing and others can come up with an idea as soon as possible, so that the Xiongnu can fulfill the agreement as soon as possible and go south and east.

As for the loss of Bingzhou... As the saying goes, those who make big things don't care about small things.At least in the eyes of the emperor and others, as long as the Huns can fulfill the agreement, the next plan of the court can be carried out.

Even if the whole Bingzhou is exhausted, it is worthwhile.

Therefore, as the emperor asked questions, Chao Jing, who was the first to stand up, didn't mention how to hold the Huns accountable.It was as if it was the one who was filled with righteous indignation just now, not him.

Instead, he went straight to the topic that the emperor is most concerned about now, and said: "Return to your majesty, I think there are two reasons why these Huns stopped. In the hands, enough benefits are obtained. Second, it is nothing more than fear that the loss will be too heavy, and it will be difficult to explain to the subjects of the various tribes.

Knowing these, it is naturally easy to solve.

Don't the Huns want benefits?

Give it to them!

And whatever they lack, we will give.

Then make some arrangements and release the news to Youzhou first.Based on the hatred of the thieves in Youzhou towards the Huns, it is certain that so many supplies will not flow into the hands of the Huns.

Will be dispatched.

By the time……"

After that, Chao Jing didn't continue talking.But the emperor and others already knew the meaning.

To put it bluntly, what Chao Jing did was to lure him for profit.

Lure the Huns to end with an offer that is hard to refuse.

At that time, once this is over, if they think about it again and again, they will not be able to help them.

As for the contribution of the court?

Will it be cheaper for Zhenbei Hou Mansion?

This fishing bait...doesn't necessarily have to use real bait.
