In the fourth year of Yuan Zhao, Li Xin and several brothers celebrated the New Year in Qiyang County. At this time, outside the northern border of the Great Jin Dynasty, Yuwen Zhao, the Yan Wang, wearing a purple robe, was holding a copper telescope in his hand and was watching Yunzhou City not far away.

In recent years, the technology of making glass in Dajin has gradually matured. Telescopes are no longer rare things that can be polished with top-quality water jade. However, because this thing is very effective on the battlefield, it is still officially controlled by the Dajin court. Yuwen Zhao spent a lot of money to get such a Thousand Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile

However, Qianli Mirror is indeed easy to use. It has only been half a year since he got to his hands and it is about to patina.

Yuwen Zhao slowly put down the monolithic mirror in his hand and looked at the standing Yunzhou City, with his eyes filled with thoughts.

Behind him, the eldest son Yuwen Di stood. Seeing his father put down the Qianli Miles Miles, Yuwen Di spoke, "Father, the Ji family court is very dissatisfied with us harassed their borders. He has issued an imperial edict to instruct his father, saying that if our troops do anything wrong on the border, the Great Jin Dynasty will launch all its troops and attack our troops in the north at the beginning of next spring."

"Northern Expedition?"

Yuwen Zhao stroked his beard and sneered: "Now there is a Li Chang'an in the southwest, which has restrained the Ji family's more than 100,000 troops. Their imperial guards in the capital cannot be moved lightly. Why do they fight the Northern Expedition? Relying on the mouth of the little devil of the Ji family?"

Yuwen Di stood with his hands down, silent.

Yuwen Zhao picked up the Qianli Mirror and looked away, then reached out and wiped the dust stained on the Qianli Mirror with his sleeve, put it in his arms again, looked back at his eldest son, and said, "I have asked you to find a way to contact Li Xin, have you contacted him?"

"No."

Yuwen Di shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Father, our people are different from the Han people. The place where the Grand Tutor Li lives is everywhere, and people from the Jin court are everywhere. It is impossible to get in touch with him and can't speak to him."

"Then find some Han people to contact him."

"Tell him that we only want to take back the hometown of Great Zhou. As long as he is willing to cooperate with our troops, after the matter is completed, Great Zhou and him will be governed by the river and will always be a brotherly country and will not violate each other."

Yuwen Zhao had no expression on his face: "If it doesn't work, just go there in person, and there is no difference between you and the Han people."

After the Xianbei tribe entered the pass in the early years, they mostly intermarried with Han people. Although the royal family generally did not marry Han people as their official wife, this rule no longer existed after the demise of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. From Yuwenchui to Yuwen Zhao, they all married many Han women. The mother of his eldest son Yuwen Di was a Han man.

Therefore, Yuwen Di's straight hair and her eyes looked very much like a Han Chinese.

Yuwen Di smiled bitterly and said, "Father..."

He naturally didn't want to go. He had been in danger when he went to the capital before, but at this time the relationship between the Yuwen tribe and the court had begun to deteriorate. If he went to the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty, it was very likely that he would capture the people of the court and be a hostage.

And he knew very well that once he was arrested and acted as a hostage, his father would not even look at him. He had about ten brothers, and his father could not compromise anything with the Jin court at this time because of him.

What’s more important is that the legendary Taifu Li was not very friendly to the Xianbei tribe. He went through most of the Jin Dynasty to Yongzhou to find him, and he might be stabbed by him. The northern border is far away from Yongzhou, and there is no place to cry!

More importantly, he is Yuwen Zhao's eldest son. If nothing unexpected happens, he will inherit the family business of Yuwen's department in the future. If his father "has a successful career", he will inherit the throne of the Northern Zhou Dynasty in the future. Naturally, he will not be willing to do such a risky thing!

Yuwen Zhao glared at his son and said coldly: "If you ask you to go, you will go. If this matter is done, you will be the next patriarch, and you will not be able to do it..."

Speaking of this, Yuwen Zhao groaned and didn't say anything more.

In desperation, the "Crown Prince of Yan" could only nod helplessly and bow to his father deeply: "Son is going to prepare now."

Yuwen Zhao nodded, looked at Yunzhou City for a moment, then turned over and rode for more than ten miles, and returned to his tent.

The tent of the Yuwen tribe was originally very far from Yunzhou City. The Qigui tribe in the Yuwen tribe was adjacent to Yunzhou City. However, the Qigui tribe had been annexed by Yuwen Zhao, so he naturally could be wherever he wanted.

After returning to the tent, three strong men with beards had been waiting for a long time. When they saw Yuwen Zhao coming in, they all held their shoulders with one hand and saluted Yuwen Zhao.

Yuwen Zhao didn't say much, but just waved his hand lightly.

"Sit down and talk."

These people are all leaders of the other three Yuwen tribes, but it is obvious that they are no longer the ones they used to be. Yuwen Zhao unified the Yuwen tribes, but each tribe has been independent for decades, so he was not very convenient to directly interfere in the internal affairs of each tribe. Therefore, after conquering each tribe, he established a new leader among the tribes and helped him rule over the tribes.

After they all sat down, Yuwen Zhao glanced at the three people and spoke slowly: "Everyone is here today. If you have anything to do, you will bring it up and solve it together."

As soon as these words came out, the leader of the Futu tribe was the first to speak. After saluting Yuwen Zhao, he said, "Tian Wang, the ranch is not growing well this year, there are not many animals, and there are not many furs to exchange grain with the Han people. Our tribe is almost finished eating the grain. I ask the king to allocate some grain to help our tribe survive this winter..."

Yuwen Zhao frowned deeply.

His headquarters did not lack food for the winter, but the pastures were not very good this year, and there were not many livestock, so naturally not many could be slaughtered. The Han merchants who traveled to the grassland all year round did not take away much fur.

Yuwen Zhao looked around and said, "The Buddha Ministry is short of food, are the two patriarchs supporting some?"

The leader of the Helan tribe lowered his head and sighed: "To be honest, I originally wanted to ask for food from the king, but the Futu tribe said it first, so I was embarrassed to speak up and prepared to survive this winter."

Yuwen Zhao looked at another younger leader.

The leader of the Qigui tribe also smiled bitterly.

"Tian Wang, if my family hadn't been able to live, how could my army go to the vicinity of Yunzhou City to grab Han people? How fierce the family members of the Zong family are? You don't know what the Tian Wang..."

"In that case, you have no food."

Yuwen Zhao closed his eyes, was silent for a while, and then slowly spoke: "I can divide some of the food and livestock from our headquarters and allocate them to the Futu Department. Everyone has their belts tightly to survive this winter."

As he said that, Yuwen Zhao narrowed his eyes and spoke slowly: "But it's not that there is no condition. After the beginning of spring, the Qigui tribe allocated 10,000 people, and each of the Futu tribe and the Helan tribe allocated 30,000 people to hand it over to the king."

The three leaders looked at each other and were all a little surprised.

"What does the King of Heaven want to... do?"

Yuwen Zhao slowly breathed out.

"Of course I'm going to grab food for the people of the tribe."

His vision is much higher than these people. These people think that the ranch is not growing well, so the animals and food are not enough. However, Yuwen Zhao knew very clearly that there is not much difference between the animals in this year's ranch and previous years.

The difference is... more people have become.

From the first year of Yuan Zhao to the present, the population of Yuwen Ministry is growing rapidly.

The King of Yan from the northern border walked out of the tent, squinted his eyes, looked to the south, and murmured to himself.

"The food...is not enough to eat."
