Chapter 253 - No Problem
Tang Yue didn't go out for a few days. He didn't even need to listen to him to know what gossip was going on outside.
He sat in the yard and watched Little Luoyuan and a few servants playing football. Zhang Chun was responsible for being his goalkeeper. He kept going easy. The two of them were having fun.
“Daddy… help us pick up a ball.” Luoyuan's clear voice came. Tang Yue came back to his senses and saw a ball by his feet.
He bent over and picked it up. He threw it with one hand and hit Zhang Chun's head. Zhang Chun covered his forehead and fell down exaggeratedly. Little Luoyuan was so scared that his face turned white.
He ran over and squatted beside Zhang Chun. He shook his arm and said, “Uncle Chun, get up. Daddy didn't do it on purpose. He's just in a bad mood.”
Zhang Chun sat up and stared at him. “Can he hit someone with a ball if he's not in a good mood?”
“Then… why don't you hit me too?”
Zhang Chun was stunned. Then, he pinched his cheek and pulled it out. “Stinking brat, you're really filial. Why aren't you my son?”
Tang Yue also had a feeling in his heart. He walked over and held Little Luoyuan in his arms. Smelling the fresh smell of his body, he smiled and said, ” My son only has one. Don't fight with me for it.”
“Tch, I don't feel any more pitiful if I don't have one.”
“When Wang Dingjun comes back, you can have one with him.”
“What do you want to have a baby with? A * * hole?”
Tang Yue rolled his eyes. “Watch your words in front of kids.”
“He doesn't understand.”
Little Luoyuan interrupted. “Who said that? Isn't it just an ass? I have it too, but… is it from where the child was born? “No wonder Yangu said it is very painful to give birth.”
… “Tang Yue and Zhang Chun were embarrassed and did not know what to do. They changed the topic one after another.
After handing the child to the servant, Tang Yue sat back down. Zhang Chun was also tired from playing. He collapsed on the chair on the other side and sighed, “Children are so energetic!”
“You have such a young age too.”
“At that time, my mom was fooling around all day. I was playing with a bunch of kids in the alley, fighting and fighting. I was dirty all over. No one helped me wash clothes when I got home. I just soaked myself in the basin, poured half a bag of washing powder, and stepped on it. Every time, my mom would beat me up because of this.”
Tang Yue thought to himself, “If I were your mom, I would beat you up too. Using half a bag of washing powder at once. What a waste!
“What about dinner?”
“I haven't had a meal yet,” Tang Yue said. Sometimes, my mom makes more food and places it on the table. When I'm hungry, I eat cold food. So when I grow up, my stomach has always been bad. It's probably because I ate cold food when I was young. “
“That's much better than you. I was much happier when I was young. My parents were both intellectual. Although the family wasn't wealthy, they didn't have to worry about food or food, but they had fewer playmates. Often, one person is locked up at home to do homework. “
“That's so boring.” Zhang Chun frowned. He didn't really want Tang Yue to live as a kid.
“Yes, so when I found out that my sexual orientation was abnormal, I was not afraid. I just felt sorry for my parents.”
“Anyway, I was alone. When I found out that I was more interested in men than women, I found a woman to spend the night with that night. In the end, I couldn't get excited no matter what, so I accepted my fate. Anyway, no one cared about me, and liking men didn't affect anyone. I didn't feel any burden at all.”
“My parents didn't forgive me until I died. Later on, when I thought about it, if I had known that I would be reborn, I wouldn't have talked about feelings in my previous life. I would have just given my parents filial piety.”
“You're thinking too much. If I had known that I was reborn, I would have killed everyone I didn't like. Anyway, it's death. How can I not take revenge before I die?”
“Killing people…” Tang Yue thought of palace maid who bumped into the pillar and died that day. He smiled bitterly and said, “I thought I was used to seeing life and death. I did not expect that there would still be times when I could not see through it.”
Zhang Chun comforted her. Zhang Chun comforted her. “What's wrong with that? People eat grains and grains. There are many things that one cannot see through. But don't be entangled. Many things are destined. Maybe it is fate. Perhaps the people who die today will be reborn in another world tomorrow?”
Thinking about this, Tang Yue felt much more relaxed. He didn't want to know who the mastermind was. He just wanted the dark guards to find out who it was. He just wanted them to give him a tooth for a tooth.
As for what the guards would do in the end, he didn't want to know.
“Life is really fast.” Zhang Chun stretched. “I don't know when this war will start.”
“I heard that the army has conquered half of North Yue. Victory is in sight,” Zhang Chun said.
“Didn't they say that they don't have enough soldiers?” Zhang Chun really admired Crown Prince Zhao for being able to beat the shit out of the North Yue with just tens of thousands of men.
“The border cities with Chu Province as the center are all recruiting soldiers. The civilians in these places have been surviving the war for a long time. Whether it is their physique or willpower, they are the best. So the current military force should be close to one hundred thousand.”
“Going deep into the enemy's interior, the difficulty is much higher. I don't know if they will be able to take it down in another year.”
“When Crown Prince Zhao wrote to them, he said that it will take about half a year to break into the North Yue's capital. This doesn't include the possibility of the enemy moving to the north.”
“Currently, the national treasury is tight. I'm afraid that we can only hold on for half a year.” Zhang Chun was now a slightly famous accountant in Ye City. He had handled all the accounts in the national treasury, but King of South Jin didn't want him to interact with him much, and he didn't have any intention of making him an official.
Fortunately, Zhang Chun wasn't a person who followed the rules and lived the life of an official. He didn't care about these things.
Tang Yue touched the ring on his finger. When the treasury was used up, the resources on his hand should be able to last for another half a year.
When the supply of food and salary ran out, they could only rely on themselves in North Yue. North Yue was the place where the wind and rain were smooth, and the soil was fertile, so there would definitely be more food.
In the Yan Province of North Yue, Crown Prince Zhao led his men to occupy the government here. They killed the highest official of the government and temporarily controlled the situation.
“Your Highness, we should ask the Great King to send people to take over the cities and towns that have been occupied as soon as possible. Otherwise, our forces will be dragged to death and we will be too scattered. It is not enough to fight to the death with the North Yue.”
“State Duke's words make sense. You will be the one to write this memorial. Royal Father will be happier when he sees it.”
State Duke Heng naturally understood the reason. “Seeing half of North Yue has been taken down, the king should reward Your Highness greatly.”
Everyone knew that Crown Prince Zhao had contributed greatly to the success of taking down half of the North Yue. Without his lead, they were afraid that even the Chuzhou City would not be able to come.
“I am already the Crown Prince. What difference does it make if I don't reward you handsomely?” What Crown Prince Zhao did was to make the world unite as soon as possible and stop the war between the north and south.
State Duke Heng saw that there was no one around. He said softly, “Now all the princes have grown up. The princes above their heads have died, disappeared, and imprisoned. The only ones who will fight for the throne with Crown Prince Zhao are the few brothers behind him.”
There were few princes and grandsons who did not have hope for that position. Crown Prince Zhao was in North Yue, which gave them a great opportunity.
“Crown Princess does not report good news or bad news. You are in North Yue and there are too many things that you cannot control.”
Crown Prince Zhao looked at the map with his hands behind his back. “As long as you don't hurt Tang Yue, what's wrong with letting them have some sweet taste?”
He really wasn't worried that someone would try to snatch his position. Even if they were lucky enough to get the position, the one hundred thousand soldiers in his hands were not to be trifled with.
“Reporting…” A soldier ran in and knelt in front of Crown Prince Zhao.
Crown Prince Zhao reached out and took the letter. After quickly reading it, he let out a cold laugh. “Good timing!”
“Is North Yue finally going to fight back?” State Duke Heng guessed.
“He has been struggling for a long time. If he doesn't move, what will the people of the world think of him?”
State Duke Heng had never fought a war with Crown Prince Zhao since he came here. Crown Prince Zhao had stopped after taking down so many cities.
“Does the enemy want the Yan Province as their target or the city below?”
“The Yan Province is located in the center of North Yue. It is the most fertile land in the entire North Yue. It is also their granary. I'm afraid they won't let us take it away so easily.”
“How did His Highness break through the Yan Province City so easily? State Duke Heng was very curious. Crown Prince Zhao's attack speed was too fast. It was simply unbelievable.
Could it be that the enemy surrendered without even showing their faces?
“The enemy is outnumbered. They know that there are no reinforcements. They have no other choice but to surrender.”
“The matter of pacifying the civilians is imminent. Before coming here, Crown Princess had talked to me about how easy it is to attack the city and how difficult it is to defend the city. If we want to make the North Yue submit to us sincerely, it is not enough when we occupy the city wall. What we need is to regain the hearts of the people of North Yue.”
These words sounded like Tang Yue's argument. Crown Prince Zhao had understood this principle before, but he did not understand it as well as Tang Yue. In other words, in Tang Yue's heart, the status of the civilians was too high, and he was born to be superior. Naturally, he could not care about such thoughts.
However, Crown Prince Zhao was a person who could accept the opinions of others. He knew that Tang Yue was reasonable, so he would naturally accept it.
“Therefore, wherever our army passes, I've never allowed them to take advantage of us, nor allow them to rape and kidnap us. The effect is very obvious, and it's especially effective in places that cross paths with South Jin.”
“However, in this way, we'll probably be unable to supply our rations.”
“There is no hurry. My next target will be here…” Crown Prince Zhao poked his finger at a conspicuous spot, causing State Duke Heng to be stunned.
