Liu Ping led Tai Shi Ci and Zhang Liao to take three fast horses and went straight to Dongguan County.

In order to save trouble, Liu Ping did not wear an official uniform, but put on a casual dress.

Judging from the appearance, the three of them are just a rich young master, traveling with an account office and a thug.

The sky was overcast, and when they saw the city of Dongguan County, they saw hundreds of people guarding the roadside, looking at them with their heads over, as if they were waiting for someone.

Those people were not young, they were all dressed decently, and some of them had little maids behind them.

Tai Shi Ci whispered on the horse and said, "Master, this is about the local squire who came to greet you, the county guard, do you want to meet with them, maybe there are gifts for you." ”

Liu Ping took a closer look, and Tai Shici's judgment was really similar.

Everywhere there are squires and elders, and if the county guard comes, they will of course be the first to come to greet them.

"Forget it, it's not rare, let's go." In Liu Ping's view, Dongguan is such a poor county, and the squire is naturally poor.

What's more, the squire's food should have been burned by the guards, they are just a bunch of refugees, what kind of gifts can he give him?

The squires looked at Liu Ping and the others, as if they didn't feel like it, and began to look west again.

Liu Ping shook the reins and galloped over.

The people at the gate of the city need to be checked by the soldiers, and Liu Ping is too lazy to show his identity, and after being checked, he enters the city smoothly.

Generally, there are two official offices in the county, one is for the garrison general, which is mainly in charge of the army, and the other is the county guard office, which is mainly in charge of the people.

Xiahou Yuan lived in the original garrison general's mansion at this time.

After inquiring, it was easy to find.

As soon as it was spread, Xiahou Yuan greeted him with a smile: "Ping'er, you are here, since the news of your appointment as the county guard of Dongguan came out, those squires came to greet me several times a day, and they were almost annoying me." ”

According to the seniority, he is an uncle, but according to the official position, the two of them are at the same level as one in charge of the army and the other in charge of the people, so Xiahou Yuan's etiquette is very thorough.

"I've seen my uncle," Liu Ping saluted in a proper manner.

He didn't have much to do with Xiahou Yuan, he only knew that this was a brave and upright general, and his niece was later Zhang Fei's wife.

Xiahou Yuan knew that Cao Cao had recruited Liu Ping as his son-in-law, and he was very affectionate: "Okay, okay, follow me into the mansion, I have prepared a banquet for you."

Looking at your outfit, it's no wonder that the squire didn't pick you up.

Since you are here, the task of distributing food will be entrusted to you in the future, and I will concentrate on arranging the city defense. ”

There was no county guard before, and the distribution of grain was all done by Xiahou Yuan.

He and his men are all warriors, and it is harder to do this kind of thing than to put him on the battlefield.

However, Liu Ping has little experience in dealing with political affairs, he used to be a city and county guard, and although Han Hao was not very good at fighting, he was a good hand at handling political affairs.

At least Liu Ping didn't worry about it.

After he was full of wine and food, Xiahou Yuan sent someone to send Liu Ping to his official office.

Cao Cao, the original county guard here, had been killed after entering the city, and there was no one in the empty courtyard.

Liu Ping was overwhelmed by alcohol, his head was a little dazed, and he found the bedroom and fell asleep.

Tai Shici and Zhang Liao took turns guarding the door.

This awakening has turned out to be three poles in the day.

After washing, I heard Zhang Liao say at the door: "Master, there are many squires and elders kneeling outside the gate of the house, and there must be thousands of people along with the people, blocking the entire road, and they are all shouting to see the master." ”

Liu Ping was quite puzzled, it was understandable that the squire and the old man greeted him, they were in order to obtain rights, what were the people kneeling in front of the door?

"Call in a few of the leaders and ask."

"No!"

Zhang Liao opened the door to call for someone, but hundreds of people poured in at once.

Seeing that these people were holding all kinds of things in their hands, they seemed to be gifts, and there were even two people who brought in a huge box.

Seeing that these people had no malicious intent, Zhang Liao couldn't do anything, and finally Tai Shici forcibly closed the door to stop the surging flow of people.

A white-bearded old man in the lead bowed to Liu Ping and said: "It turns out that you are Liu Fujun, yesterday the little old man had no eyes, but he didn't know it, forgive his sins." ”

Liu Ping nodded and smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, my husband doesn't know what to do with me?" ”

The old man took the lead, and hundreds of people knelt on the ground.

The old man trembled and said, "The prince of the mansion wants to be the master for us."

I heard that the lord of Yanzhou has moved all of us to Xu County, which is thousands of miles away, and this is our life.

The little old man's surname is Qin, my Qin family has settled here since the founding of Taizu, it has been nearly 400 years ago, and the ancestral tombs are all placed here.

If you don't sacrifice to your ancestors, how is it different from animals?

Xiao Lao'er is seventy-six this year, and his life is short, it is difficult to say whether he can live to Xu County, even if he arrives, how to bury him in the ancestral grave after a hundred years......"

Old Man Qin howled and cried as he spoke.

He was about the number one squire in the local area, and when he cried like this, everyone knelt down in front of Liu Ping, and the cry was shocking.

Liu Ping understood it, probably the news that Cao Cao was going to relocate the people had already spread, and these people came to beg him not to relocate.

In fact, the people of the dynasty have been relocated since ancient times, as the old man Qin said, sacrificing ancestors is one thing, everyone wants to return to the roots, bury them in the ancestral grave after death, and enjoy the sacrifice of future generations.

There are also those squires, they all have large tracts of land in their hands, although the grain has been burned, but as long as the spring is cultivated, the autumn harvest will be there again, if they are moved, what will happen to the land?

Even if you don't have land, it's worth a lot of money, and you can't pack it all away.

Although Dongguan County is mountainous and the land is barren, it is a place where they have lived for generations.

So they heard the news that the county warden was about to take office, so they came to petition en masse.

Of course, the people who could come in were all wealthy squires, and now they all had all kinds of gifts in their hands.

There is a scroll that claims to be Cai Yong's authentic handiwork.

There is an ancient book, the Tao Te Ching, which claims to be written by Lao Tzu.

There are also some jewels and jade, which look very precious.

It is naturally not a mediocre thing to be able to get their hands on it, they cried and shouted and begged Liu Fujun to accept it and not let them relocate.

Liu Ping had long thought that it would not be so easy to move 80,000 people, so he had already thought of a countermeasure.

The reason why he came all the way was to let Cao Cao dispel the idea of relocating.

So he said loudly: "Everyone, please rest assured, I will do my best to ask Cao Yuanjun for his life, but I can't accept this thing, please take it back." ”
