Chapter 431: The Little Emperor Who Fled South
Pei Shuye, Zhao Yun, and Huo Jun really encountered an ambush by Uncle Yang on the way, and the three generals were instructed by Liu De, although they were embarrassed for a while, but the troops did not suffer too many losses, but it was in vain in pursuit, and Huo Jun and the three returned to Pinggucheng.
Liu De sent someone to count the treasury and check the account books, all the grain in the treasury has been emptied, it seems that Uncle Yang is ready to abandon the city and leave, in fact, it is right, Pinggu County is not a dangerous place, it is far away from Luanzhou, Liu De can completely surround Pinggu even if he can't attack it.
So evacuation is necessarily the best option.
Uncle Yang is very decisive, if he waits until it snows heavily, I'm afraid he won't be able to escape if he really wants to.
After Liu De recovered Pinggu, he didn't have time to rest, so he ordered Qin Qiong and other generals to lead troops to pacify other county towns in Pinggu that had not yet been recovered, and sent an order to Guan Yu in Bohai, appointing Guan Yu as the county guard of Pinggu to garrison Pinggu.
After sending a fast horse to Beiping City, Zhang Zhao was transferred to Bohai Taishou, Huang Gai was appointed as Bohai County Lieutenant, and Zhang Cheng and Zhang Xiu were both awarded school captains for their merits to assist Zhang Zhao and Huang Gai in dealing with Bohai affairs.
After that, he only rested for a few days in Pinggu and set off to return to Beiping.
Although the two states have been completely pacified, things are still chaotic and noisy, and many things are out of order, and Liu De still has to put a lot of effort into dealing with these government affairs.
In addition to dealing with government affairs, Liu De also discussed with Xu Shu on the establishment of the official and military systems of the Han Principality on the way back to the army, as well as the invasion of Beihu on the border of Beizhou.
These two things are the two biggest things today.
However, to hold a ceremony to seal the prince and canonize the ministers, it is better to wait for Xun Yu, Chen Shuo and others to arrive in Beiping before discussing.
This time, the official system and military system of the Han Principality were established, whether it was called king or emperor in the future, there should be no big moves, so it was not something that Liu De could decide with a pat on the head.
Now Liu Dezhi already has an idea, after all, China's five thousand years of dynasties have references, more to improve and strengthen, and also need to listen to the thoughts of important officials under his command.
The rewards for the generals were also balanced as much as possible, and the counties and counties also had to appoint new officials, such as dòng luàn, and troops were also sent to pacify.
And Yang Tianlong of Luanzhou, Liu De is now powerless to discuss, approaching the New Year, the army is homesick, it is really not suitable to go out in the degree, can only wait for the next year to see, but now there are three years and six months left before the main task of the system to pacify Hebei within five years.
There is still plenty of time, and there is only half of Beizhou and one Luanzhou left in the three states of Hebei.
……
Ouyang Yi, who proclaimed himself the king of Jin, had reached the end of his rope, leaving only a few county towns still trapped and fighting, Li Yun also knew the reason why the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, and did not attack eagerly, but sent troops to surround these counties, consume Ouyang Yi's strength little by little, and finally completely eliminate him.
However, there were already people in Ouyang Yi's county town secretly communicating with Li Yun, and Li Yun was just waiting for an opportunity.
Five strong men dressed as coarse cloths and civilians escorted a child who was about four or five years old and hurried to a simple ferry port and found a boatman, one of whom was supposed to be the leader and said to the boatman: "Can you take us across the river?" ”
The boatman glanced at the group and raised his head, "Come up!" ”
"Boom!"
"Everybody don't let me move!"
A sound of footsteps suddenly approached, and when the leader looked back, a team of soldiers and horses suddenly appeared in front of him, which was clearly the puppet emperor's subordinates.
The leader grabbed the boatman by the neck and shouted, "Get out of the boat!" ”
The boatman's face was flushed, his hands struggled desperately, and as soon as the leader let go of his hand, the boatman sat on the boat with his buttocks, and shouted at the top of his throat!! ”
The leader was so angry that he knocked the boatman unconscious with a heavy blow, and then said to a few people behind him: "Quick, rowing, let's go quickly!" ”
The other four were ordered, and quickly untied the ropes, pushed the boat away with their oars, and slowly began to row into the middle of the river.
At this time, the pair of soldiers also spotted this group of people, and immediately shouted: "Stop me!" ”
"Quick! Shoot the arrows! ”
A few arrows were fired, and the leader who was guarding the stern of the ship pushed away, and everyone was unscathed.
The captain of this team of soldiers suddenly said urgently: "Let's also get on the boat and chase!" Hurry up! ”
The pair of soldiers directly robbed the boats of the other boats, and desperately chased after the small boat that had already sailed away.
God may not be able to see it, the country suddenly became foggy, and the few small boats behind were quickly thrown away and disappeared, which made the leader breathe a sigh of relief.
But...
Then he found that they were also lost, and one of them nervously said to the leader: "General, it's getting dark this day, and the fog is so big, if you can't get out, a few of us will be fine, I'm afraid of Your Majesty..."
After that, he hugged the little emperor in his arms who had already fallen asleep because of exhaustion.
The general pointed in one direction and said, "No matter! Go in that direction, Lao Tzu still doesn't believe that he can't get out! ”
The man might have some doubts, and continued to ask him, "General, why don't we go to find Han Gong?" He is a loyal minister of the Great Zhou! ”
"Nonsense!"
The general snorted in a low voice, perhaps because he was afraid of waking up the little emperor, his voice lowered again, and said to the guard: "The general specially told me before he died in battle, Liu De is the biggest thief in Da Zhou, let me wait to send His Majesty to the account of Danzhou Mu Li Yun, so that His Majesty can be comforted, and Da Zhou will also have hope of revival, if you go to Liu De, it will let Your Majesty go to death!" ”
"But! In this world, only the Duke of Han is willing to send troops to chase down the puppet emperor Yang Tianlong for the Great Zhou Sheji, and Li Yunke, the Danzhou Mu, is only busy occupying the territory! The guard retorted, straining his neck.
"Shut up! You know what! Ouyang Yi killed the royal family and established himself as a king, isn't he also a national thief? Danzhou pastor is a major minister of the Great Zhou, why can't he eliminate Ouyang Yi? ”
The guards muttered and did not dare to speak, and the general turned his head in resentment, and stood on the bow of the ship with his sword.
Perhaps the heavens were still watching over the people, but in a short time the fog cleared a lot, and they could discern the direction, and the people took turns paddling, and finally reached the shore when it was dark.
"Stop!"
As soon as everyone got off the boat, they heard a loud shout, and an arrow was inserted under the general's feet, and the general's face instantly became very ugly.
A group of soldiers surrounded the crowd, and a sturdy general came over, looked at the few people who did not look like ordinary people at all, and asked, "Who are you?" Recruit from the truth! ”
The guard general guarded everyone and asked vigilantly, "Dare to ask who the general is?" ”
The general raised his head: "A certain is a partial general under the command of Danzhou Mu Li Zhou!" ”
When the guard general heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and he praised him: "I am the Praetorian General Hu Baoguo, and this time I am escorting Your Majesty to find Li Zhoumu!" ”
