Dong Chang's brows furrowed: "Liu Zhuangshi, Dong naturally understands this truth, can he keep us just by entering Luoyang?" If you don't enter Luoyang, you will definitely be slaughtered? I don't think so. Rong Laofu said something you don't like to hear, it's not once or twice that the Great Jin Dynasty has abandoned me like a mustard, since the fall of the Western Dynasty, even Luoyang City has been given up many times, not to mention us, the lord of the dock fort in the mountains, you insist on letting us go to Luoyang, do you want to protect us, or take the opportunity to annex our subordinates? ”

Liu Yu smiled slightly: "If you want to annex the subordinates of the owner of Dong Zhuang, why bother when the Western Yan is attacking, the Great Jin Dynasty has occupied Luoyang for many years, and it is long ago that he can come over and forcibly annex it, that is, considering that the fathers and elders of the Central Plains have been accustomed to self-reliance for many years and are not happy to be ruled, so there will be an edict exempting from servitude, but the state and the imperial court do not collect your taxes and do not levy your Ding, which does not mean that they will not protect you. ”

Dong Shenhu's eyes widened: "Dad, what he said makes a bit sense, the imperial court used to send an official document at most, and we sent it if we gave some food, but this time it really sent troops to protect us." ”

Dong Chang hooked the corners of his mouth: "But our many years of foundation are all in Dongjiawu, if we really go to Luoyang with you, will we be able to come back in the future?" ”

Liu Yu said with a smile: "Don't worry, I know the situation in Luoyang City, my own military food has to be transferred thousands of miles from Pengcheng in the rear, Zhu Zhushi himself is short of military food, how can there be surplus food to feed your more than 100,000 surrounding people, and now in order to save your net worth and life, I want you to enter the city, and after the battle, if you want to stay, he can't make food for you to eat." When the time comes, I will let you come back to farm, and whether you want to pay taxes or not depends on the will of the imperial court. I think that if we can work together to protect Luoyang this time, what to do after the fight, Dong Zhuang is a smart person, and he should also be clear. ”

Dong Chang sighed: "If the imperial court really has the heart to love the people and the power to protect the people, we will naturally be willing to serve the imperial court, Liu Zhuangshi, I don't believe in the Great Jin Imperial Court, but your actions in the past two days have moved me, I believe in your words, say it, what do you want us to do now." ”

Liu Yu's heart was overjoyed, and he took Dong Chang's hand: "Master Dong, it's really good that you are willing to think like this, and please give an order to bring all the food that can be carried with you or can be pushed away by a cart, and the food that can't be taken away is hidden on the spot, don't leave it to the Xianbei people, this Dong Jiawu is just giving up temporarily, and he will come back after the war, there is nothing to be reluctant to." ”

Dong Chang nodded: "We are a gathering of displaced people in troubled times, most of us were not locals before the fall of the former Qin, there is not much to bring, and there is nothing to be reluctant to, the food is this, we usually have a place to hide, only a small amount of rations in the village, and there is no need to deliberately hide anything, we can go directly on the road, and within one day, we can get to Luoyang." ”

Liu Yu nodded: "This is very good, I am afraid that the main force of the Xiyan army is crossing the river, and it will be killed here in about two days, so our actions must be accelerated, if we can, I also ask the owner of Dong Zhuang to notify the other leaders of the villages in this mountain with wolf smoke, so that they can also evacuate to Luoyang, as soon as the Xiyan army arrives, there is no dock village here to protect itself, only by retreating to Luoyang, can there be a way to live." ”

Dong Chang's brows furrowed: "Not all the owners of the village believe in Liu Zhuangshi like me, after all, they haven't seen your ability to fight with their own eyes, unless I summon them over for a meeting, and then move them with affection and reason, it is possible." ”

Liu Yu sighed: "That can only do its best, obey the fate of heaven, the tragedy of the second village in the north of the gang, should also make many people sober, as long as the owner of the village explains that it is only the vanguard of the Xiyan army, now their vanguard is wiped out, if the army comes, it will inevitably slaughter and retaliate, we can't protect their safety in Luoyang." ”

Dong Chang's eyes sparkled, and he gritted his teeth: "Liu Zhuangshi, let me be honest with you, in fact, now in Yushan, and even in the entire Central Plains region, most of the villages and dock forts are no longer as united as before, supporting each other, and not many people will listen to my words, if you want them to listen to your orders, it is best to go to someone from the Heavenly Master Dao to speak." ”

Liu Yu's face changed: "Heavenly Master Dao? Didn't they preach in the Gangnam area, how did they come here? ”

Dong Chang sighed: "Heavenly Master Dao has always had its influence in the north, in the former Qin period, the country vigorously promoted Buddhism, and the Heavenly Master Sect was subject to a lot of restrictions in the north, coupled with the hostility of the Jin State, the former Qin court repeatedly ordered to suppress the spread of Taoism, but after the collapse of the former Qin, the Central Plains became a borderless land, and the disciples of the Heavenly Master Dao traveled back and forth between various dock forts, and also organized many villages to fight against those horse thieves and small bandits, which was very popular." Our Dongjiawu is a big village, and we can protect ourselves, but many small villages with dozens or more than 100 households have to rely on the help of the Heavenly Master. In the event of an enemy attack, they will gather the disciples of the nearby villages and bring the villagers of each village to support, and the effect is much better than ours. ”

Liu Yu's brows furrowed more and more: "Then the owner of the village knows who is the person in charge of the Heavenly Master Dao near here?" How can I reach him? ”

Dong Shenhu hurriedly said: "It's the nephew of Sun Tai, the master of the Heavenly Master Dao, and the senior brother of the Heavenly Master Dao, Sun En, he often acts in the Xingyang area, but yesterday there was a slaughter in the second village of the north of the gang, presumably he will come here soon." In addition, Lu Xun, the two senior brothers of Heavenly Master Dao, and Xu Daofu are also well-known figures in the Central Plains, and they have led various villages to repel bandits from all walks of life many times. ”

Liu Yu sneered: "It turned out to be the three of them, no wonder almost all the dock forts in the Central Plains have been in an independent state over the years, and they have completely ignored the imperial court." ”

Dong Chang's eyes widened: "Does Liu Zhuangshi know the three of them?" ”

Liu Yu nodded: "Of course, these three are our old acquaintances, and they have even joined the Beifu Army." Now Lu Xun is in the fortress of Kim Yong Cheng in Luoyang, and I just got the news. ”

Dong Chang laughed: "Then it seems that I don't need to do anything, you can contact this Senior Brother Lu directly." ”

Liu Yu shook his head: "No, Master Dong Zhuang, I still have you to do this, no matter what, this is what I ask you to issue the official order of the imperial court, if it is through the Heavenly Master Dao, then another organization can replace the imperial court to order, I can't let the Central Plains all over the country, only know that there is the Heavenly Master Dao, I don't know that there is the Great Jin Dynasty court and army!" ”
