"The old man wants to ask the prince to save some people!" Xu Wenyuan looked at Zou Yudao expectantly.

"Where are the people? How many people are there? How to save? Zou Yu didn't ask the reason, and asked directly.

"The prince doesn't ask why?" Xu Wenyuan asked unexpectedly.

"Does it matter?" Zou Yu smiled faintly.

"Since the attack of the Qi State, there have been people who have surrendered without a fight, Wang Shichong now no one dares to believe it, and ordered one person in the family to escape, the whole family, regardless of age or age, has been killed, and fathers and sons, brothers, and husbands and wives can be exonerated as long as they denounce each other. He also commanded the five families to be one to supervise each other, and if any one defected and the neighbors did not find out, the neighbors around him were to be put to death. Executions continued. With such a harsh criminal law, the people of Luoyang City have long been panicked!

And he used the palace as a big prison, and whenever there was suspicion, he tied up his family and sent him to the palace for detention. Whenever a general was sent out to fight, his relatives were also detained in the palace as hostages. Xu Wenyuan sighed and took the initiative to explain.

Zou Yu couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this, being a man to do this step is almost the same as betraying his relatives, why bother to cling to power.

"The grain and grass in the city have long been cut off, except for the soldiers and Wang Shichong's cronies, no one has anything to eat, some people grab the soil and put it in the clay urn, wash it with water, sink the sand and gravel to the bottom, take out the mud floating on it, mix the bran in it, and make cakes to eat." Xu Wenyuan continued.

"No wonder today I saw a lot of people lying in the city, one by one lying on the road, they were all hungry, and I thought they were just homeless homeless people." Zou Yu frowned.

"If only that were it, it would be fine! There have already been cannibalism in the city! Xu Wenyuan said with a sad and angry face.

"What!" Zou Yu was taken aback, stood up and glared at Xu Wenyuan in disbelief.

"Indeed it is! The old man didn't dare to say a lie, the old man ate cleanly, not because the prince said that he had good cultivation! I'm so hungry! Even if the old man has not lost Wang Shichong's trust yet, he has not eaten a piece of meat for half a month. Xu Wenyuan said ashamedly.

"How unreasonable!" Zou Yu was very angry, he didn't expect Wang Shichong to make a good Luoyang like this, although he heard a lot of tragedies of cannibalism, he didn't expect that the city in front of him would also appear!

"Damn it!" As soon as Xinyue'e slapped the case, she shouted angrily.

"Livestock!"

"It's not as good as that!" The Fang family brothers also scolded angrily.

"You want me to save the people in the city? It's not that I don't want to, it's just that even if we take out all the military rations, it won't be enough! By the time Jinyang sends grain and grass, I'm afraid the people will almost die! Zou Yu frowned.

"The old man also knows that this matter makes the prince embarrassed, but can you persuade Wang Shichong to take some grain and grass to relieve the people!" Xu Wenyuan said with a wry smile.

"It's... All I can say is do your best! Zou Yu thought for a moment and said.

"Lord Wangda!" Xu Wenyuan bowed and said.

"Fang Zhi! You set off overnight, take 5,000 cavalry, go to Tiger Prison Pass, find Liu Heimin, and borrow some military rations! We'll double it back in the future! Zou Yu ordered.

"Whoa!" Fang Zhi responded with a fist, then turned around and walked out of the camp.

"Fangzheng, you ask the brothers to prepare some gruel and put the porridge at the gate of the city tomorrow!" Zou Yu continued.

"Whoa!" Founder also holds his fists.

"Let the people I bring with me do this!" Crescent Moon demanded.

"It's good!" Zou Yu nodded in agreement.

"What if Wang Shichong stops it?" Gao Kan asked.

"Then tell him! And the king himself brought troops to meet him. Zou Yu said stiffly.

"Whoa!" Seeing Zou Yu so domineering, Xin Yue'e smiled happily and responded with a fist.

"Lord Wang, this is not a long-term solution!" Gao Kan reminded.

"I know! It's just this kind of thing, it's just that if you don't know, how can you turn a blind eye! Zou Yu shook his head and said.

"Why don't you take the opportunity to get rid of Wang Shichong!" Xu Wenyuan said.

"It can't be! Even if I kill Wang Shichong, just such a few people, how can I control Luoyang! It's not cheaper than Li Shimin! Zou Yu shook his head slightly.

"Everyone in Luoyang has been suffering for a long time, if the prince is willing, I believe that most people are willing to follow you." Xu Wenyuan persuaded him.

"How is that possible! Wang Shichong is the best at sophistry, likes to win people's hearts, and he has a lot of henchmen! Zou Yu smiled dumbly.

"Wang Shichong's Shang Shulang Lu Junye and Guo Zigao's two families, because they belonged to the family, they were hated by him for a while, and they no longer gave food, and they were worried that they would defect and were unwilling to let them out of the city, so the whole family was starved to death! This matter has caused everyone to be in danger, and now I am afraid that there are few people who still have their hearts to Wang Shichong! Xu Wenyuan introduced.

"It's self-inflicted! No wonder so many people are detached from him! Gao Kan shook his head and said.

"The people in the city are terrified! But the military power is in the hands of the Wang family, and there are many people who are Wang Shichong's henchmen who started together, as well as Luoyang traitors, and people who are co-opted by Li Yuan who want to control Luoyang! Hard! Zou Yu calmly analyzed.

"The old man is willing to go and contact the personnel! to help the prince! Seeing that Zou Yu still hadn't decided, Xu Wenyuan was suddenly a little anxious, and hurriedly increased his chips.

"So be it! We still have some grain and grass in the future, which can cope with it for a few days for the time being! Mr. Xu went to contact the staff, I'm trying to figure out a way! Zou Yu rubbed his forehead and said.

He now finally understands why Cao Cao often has headaches, because there are so many things to consider and decide, and some things are very difficult, and it is not just a choice to do or not to do! How to do is the key, but also to consider the troubles and changes that may be encountered in the process of doing things, and what kind of prevention should be made.

"That's good! The old decay has made progress, and I will report to the prince again! Xu Wenyuan thought for a moment and said.

"Trouble Mr. Xu!"

"Farewell to the old man!"

"Fangzheng, send Mr. Xu!"

"Whoa!"

"Isn't the prince worried that he was sent by Wang Shichong to deceive us?" After Xu Wenyuan left, Gao Kan asked.

"Although there is such a possibility, but Xu Wenyuan will not! This person is quite stylish, and he is Li Mi's teacher, and it is normal to be dissatisfied with Wang Shichong, not to mention the situation in Luoyang, everyone knows it, and it is similar to what he said! Zou Yu thought for a while and analyzed.

"The heart of defense is indispensable! The prince should be on guard against some! Gao Kan reminded.

"It's nature! Now I'm waiting to see who he pulls, and I'll know if it's a trap! Zou Yu nodded.

Day 2! Wang Shichong received the news that someone was putting porridge at the gate of the city, and he was very angry, because this kind of thing to buy people's hearts, how can they let others do it! After sending someone to inquire, he found out that it was Zou Yu's person, and he couldn't help frowning.

"Father! Zou Changfeng bought people's hearts like this, it was clearly a bad intention! He must not be allowed to continue! Wang Xuanying said loudly, he was already unhappy, Zou Yu was about the same age as him, he was a male master, more powerful than his father, not to mention him as a prince.

"Yes! Your Majesty, you can't let it go! Otherwise, I'm afraid people's hearts will change! Duan Da followed.

Duan Da was timid and afraid of things, and helped Wang Shichong control Luoyang, because of his reasons, Wang Shichong killed a lot of people, which made him worry that Zou Yu would enter Luoyang and settle accounts for him afterwards, after all, he himself didn't know how many enemies he had, but there must be Jinyang's side.

"But how can this be stopped?" Wang Shichong hesitated.

"If you don't put porridge Your Majesty, just say that our people, don't bother them to save it!" Duan Da suggested.

"What about the grain?" When Wang Shichong heard this, he was immediately a little unhappy, but he knew that his family background, there had been no progress in the past two years, but there was not much left, otherwise he would not have waited for Zou Yu to come to put porridge and buy people's hearts, he still knew, not that he was unwilling, but that his strength did not allow it!

"Your Majesty can put it for two days first! Then take Zou Changfeng away, and stop again! Duan Da naturally understood Wang Shichong's mood, so he suggested again.

"That's right! That's right! Let him leave and go to the Tiger Prison Pass to resist Li Shimin! It's better for Li Shimin to kill him! In this way, the Jinyang dragons have no leader, and the father may be able to expand to the north. Wang Xuanying nodded again and again.

"That's good! That's it! Duan Qing's family, go and tell Zou Changfeng's people! So that they don't have to put porridge tomorrow! In the evening, the prince went again and asked them to send troops to the Tiger Prison Pass, and said that Li Shimin had another change! Wang Shichong nodded.

The ideal is very plump, the reality is very skinny, Duan Da just left, Wang Shichong received bad news! A particularly bad news. Qi State Yizhou Xingtai left servant shot Dou Rail led 50,000 people in Bashu to come to support! Li Shimin once again came to the tiger prison and let Wang Shichong say a word.

When Zou Yu received the news, he had to withdraw his manpower and run to the Tiger Prison Pass, because once Li Shimin took the Tiger Prison Pass, then he could only be trapped in Luoyang, or he would have a fight with Li Shimin.

He is here to help, not to work hard, although he doesn't care about Wang Shichong's life or death, but Li Yuan can't sit big, in the past few months, he has occupied a lot of places and surrendered many talents.

Li Shi's militia is in the Tiger Prison, so he can't borrow grain, since Wang Shichong promised to release grain, Zou Yu also has an explanation for Xu Wenyuan.

Not to mention that Zou Yu went to the Tiger Prison, Xu Wenyuan promised to help win over people, and immediately took action, after all, he has been an official and a strategist under Li Mi and Wang Shichong, so he is very familiar with Wang Shichong's people, and he also knows the people on Zou Yu's side, so the first contact is the author Xue Deyin.

"Xu Gong called the students here, I don't know what to see?" Xue Deyin asked.

"I don't know what Xue Langjun thinks of Emperor Zheng?" Xu Wenyuan asked.

Both of them are literati, and they are polite in their every move, and they sit opposite each other! Xue Deyin's waist was straight, his face did not show any emotion, and he asked lightly, "What does Xu Gong mean by this?" If you have something to say, just say it, and the students will listen to it! ”

Xu Wenyuan didn't sell Guan Zi either, after all, there were just the two of them in the room, and he wasn't worried about Xue Deyin going to sue, after all, his reputation as Hedong Sanfeng was there. The literati have a heavy name, and they absolutely do not want to be stained, and the more famous they are, the more they pay attention to their words and deeds.

"Do you think Zheng Guo can still hold on?"

"Difficult! Now there is only Luoyang, and there are evil neighbors all around! Xue Deyin frowned.

"Yes, the old man thinks the same, and this Wang Shichong is not worth helping at all! What do you think? Xu Wenyuan nodded.

"The food of the king, the matter of loyalty! Xu Gong said this, the students should not have heard it, and don't mention it again in the future! Xue Deyin was silent for a moment.

"Huh! The old man still has to say that even if he dies, it is better than starving to death! Xu Wenyuan said with a smile.

Xue Deyin naturally knew the situation in the city, so he felt a little embarrassed, on the one hand, his conscience, and on the other hand, his loyalty to the monarch.

"If the king is not right, the minister will vote for another country! Why should Xue Langjun be foolish! Xu Wenyuan continued.

"Gong Xu wants to learn from Chen Qian, the chief of Shangshi, and the secretary Cheng Cui Deben and others! Assassination of Wang Shichong? Xue Deyin asked, the people he said were dissatisfied with Wang Shichong and wanted to get rid of him, and then reinstate Yang Tong, the king of Yue, as the emperor.

It's just that the news leaked out, and all of them were killed by Wang Shichong, that is, after that incident, Wang Shichong was in a hurry to kill Yang Tong, the king of Yue.

"No, no! The old man has no power to restrain the chicken, how can he carry out the assassination? To tell you the truth, the old man is helping others to be lobbyists! Xu Wenyuan shook his head and said.

"Chang'an or Jinyang?" Xue Deyin asked.

"Why not Hebei?" Xu Wenyuan said with a smile.

"Xu Gong, this is a student who wants to take the entrance examination?" Xue Deyin laughed, and then continued: "The one in Hebei, not to mention anything else, just sent his daughter and relatives after the last defeat, how can he achieve hegemony?" Besides, the student's cousin Xue Shui is in Chang'an, and his nephew Xue Yuanjing is in Jinyang! Of course, these two sides are the most likely! ”

"Then Xue Langjun guess again, is it Jinyang or Chang'an?" Xu Wenyuan continued to ask.

"Although many people have voted for Guanzhong recently, the students believe that Xu Gong must be persuaded by Jinyang." Xue Deyin thought for a moment.

Seeing Xu Wenyuan looking at him curiously, Xue Deyin continued: "Duke Wei died at the hands of the Qi State, this is one of the reasons; Tang Wang only appeared in Luoyang, which is the second reason; The third reason is that if it is just Qi Guo, Xu Gongda does not have to win over the students, just find a way to pass. ”

"Exactly!" Xu Wenyuan lightly slapped his palm and exclaimed.

"Then why does Duke Xu value King Tang so much?" Xue Deyin asked rhetorically.

"Yesterday, Lao Yu met and talked to King Tang! The fact that the Tang King is willing to take out military rations and rescue the people alone makes the old man admire! Not to mention, he attacked Goguryeo several times, the Turks, which is also what makes the old man admire!

Over the years, whether it is Wang Shichong, or Dou Jiande, or even Li Mi, no one has paid attention to people's livelihood, this is not what Ming Jun did, and it is not beneficial to the people of the world, except for making the world more chaotic, so inaction! Xu Wenyuan sighed wistfully.
