Chapter 1141 The Miserable Liu Yan

Bai Feng observed the change in Liu Yan's expression.

"Prefect?"

The smile on Liu Yan's face was completely gone at this time.

Then he said to Bai Feng in a deep voice:

"Have the Hanzhong Marquis found that the people in the farmland are busy irrigating the fields when he came to Youzhou?"

What Liu Yan said, Bai Feng had naturally discovered long ago.

"Is the matter the prefect is talking about drought?"

"Yes! The Hanzhong Marquis is very careful and has also discovered the drought in the northwest."

Bai Feng was happy when he heard this. If it weren't for the drought in the northwest, the system would not have issued a task for him to conquer the Xianbei.

"Now the entire northwest has not rained for half a month."

"It just so happens that this is the time when the seedlings in the farmland need rain the most."

"Although the Xianbei people on the grassland don't farm, the grassland still needs rain to grow luxuriantly."

"So it's not just Youzhou that is affected by the drought, the Xianbei people on the grassland are affected even more!"

Liu Yan couldn't help but pause when he said this.

Because the grassland is as dry as Youzhou, Liu Yan is worried that the Xianbei people may plunder the villages and towns on the border of Youzhou when they cannot graze cattle and sheep normally.

Although the Wei Dynasty is now capable of repelling the invading Xianbei people.

In the normal season when the water and grass are abundant, the Xianbei people dare not come to Youzhou to beg for money.

But now is an extraordinary situation.

The Xianbei people are struggling to survive.

There is a great possibility that they will take the risk to come to Youzhou to plunder.

Anyway, for the Xianbei people, not having enough food means starving to death, and plundering Youzhou will be killed by the Wei soldiers.

It is better to go to Youzhou to plunder first and die with a full stomach.

If you are lucky enough not to be caught up by the Youzhou cavalry, you can still escape with your life.

That would be a big profit.

So this is what Liu Yan is most worried about now.

Bai Feng now understands why Liu Yan's face suddenly became ugly after he mentioned that he was going to the grassland.

What if he was hit by the Xianbei cavalry who came to Youzhou to plunder and was directly abducted.

Then Liu Yan, as the governor of Youzhou, would definitely have to bear Cao Cao's wrath.

In addition, Liu Yan had to worry about the Xianbei cavalry who came to plunder.

After the Great Wei became stronger, the population of the border counties of Youzhou gradually increased.

If they were plundered by the Xianbei people once, the loss would be huge.

"The grassland is not very peaceful now, and the hungry Xianbei people might risk their lives."

"So if Hanzhong Hou wants to go to the grassland to relax at this time, it is still quite dangerous in my opinion."

"Of course, ten or twenty Xianbei people, or Xianbei cavalry, will not pose any threat to Hanzhong Hou. Your bravery is well known to the Great Wei!"

"But if you run into a large group of Xianbei cavalry, the consequences are really unpredictable!"

Although Liu Yan's persuasion was more tactful, Bai Feng still understood what Liu Yan meant.

Now you'd better stay in Youzhou, or go back to Hanzhong quickly.

Don't go to the grassland to seek death by relying on your own strength, and finally you will cause me to be punished.

Although Bai Feng understood Liu Yan's implication, he did not intend to leave Youzhou and give up going to the grassland.

Otherwise, what about the system task?

The most important thing is that Bai Feng is really not afraid of encountering a large group of Xianbei cavalry.

When the time comes, an illusion will pass and no one will be able to find Bai Feng.

"Hahaha, what the governor said is very true!"

Bai Feng then smiled at Liu Yan.

Liu Yan thought Bai Feng retreated when he heard it, and immediately smiled, thinking that Bai Feng was a person who listened to others' advice.

Then Bai Feng changed his tone and continued to say to Liu Yan:

"This big grassland! I still have to go and see it, otherwise not only will I make this trip in vain, but my thoughts will be even more unreasonable!"

"Ah this."

When Bai Feng said this, Liu Yan, who had a smile on his face just now and thought that Bai Feng listened to advice, froze his smile again.

"Hanzhong Hou, when can't we go to this grassland except now?"

Liu Yan continued to persuade Bai Feng patiently.

"Don't worry, Governor. I'll take a few maids with me when I go to the grassland this time. Even if we encounter Xianbei cavalry, we can run away."

Bai Feng remained unmoved and insisted on going to the grassland to relax.

Liu Yan was really very aggrieved now. He would listen to Bai Feng no matter how he persuaded him.

Going to the grassland to die was fine, but he also took the maids with him.

For a moment, Liu Yan didn't know whether Bai Feng's fate would be the worst after going to the grassland, or his maids.

"This, this. Please think twice, Marquis Hanzhong!"

"Governor, you are too pessimistic! It's okay!"

"Alas"

Liu Yan, who was already worried about the Xianbei people, was even more troubled by the stubborn Bai Feng.

"How about this!"

"I will assign you a team of Youzhou cavalry as your guard!"

"Do you think this is okay?"

After Liu Yan found that he could not persuade Bai Feng to change his mind, he could only settle for the second best and ensure Bai Feng's personal safety.

A team of 100 Youzhou cavalry

On the prairie, he could face thousands of Xianbei cavalrymen without losing.

Even if he encountered a large group of Xianbei cavalrymen, it would be no problem to protect Bai Feng and his party to return to Youzhou safely.

"Don't bother, Governor!"

"This team of Youzhou cavalrymen are eating and drinking just to accompany me to the prairie to relax, what a waste!"

"Besides, the Governor needs them to protect the people of Youzhou, so I can't use public resources for personal use!"

Bai Feng still smiled and refused Liu Yan.

If Bai Feng brought a team of Youzhou cavalry, how could he get close to the Xianbei tribe?

If he couldn't get close to the Xianbei tribe, he couldn't get the trust of the Xianbei people and lay a good foundation for conquering the Xianbei tribe later.

Although Bai Feng submitted a memorial to Cao Cao, saying that he would take the Youzhou cavalry to destroy the Xianbei.

Cao Cao would definitely happily give him the position of a general, allowing him to dispatch all the Youzhou cavalry.

But this is different from the task issued to Bai Feng by the system.

So Bai Feng wanted to conquer the Xianbei people without using force.

Liu Yan wanted to curse at Bai Feng at this time.

I advised you not to go, but you didn't listen!

I sent soldiers to protect you, but you said it was a waste!

You really came to make trouble for me!

If I had known earlier, I would have sent a servant to invite you to dinner, and I would have pretended that I didn't know you came to Youzhou!

Liu Yan was angry and regretful, but he had no way to deal with Bai Feng.

Bai Feng was the Marquis of Hanzhong, the most trusted minister of Emperor Wu of Wei, and he had made countless contributions.

It can be said that without Bai Feng, Wei would still be in a three-way confrontation with Shu Han and Dong Wu!

Bai Feng watched Liu Yan's face change from white to red, then from red to purple, and finally from purple to blue.

He couldn't help but think of LED color temperature lamps.
