Chapter 409: Hunger and Cold

Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

Wang Lang was proclaimed emperor in Handan and was supported by the three kings of Hebei, which made Wang Lang sit on the throne all of a sudden. Wang Lang made Liu Lin the prime minister, Li Yu as the great Sima, and Zhang Shen as the general, and set up his own imperial court in Handan.

One mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and the world cannot tolerate two masters. After Wang Lang became emperor, the biggest enemy in front of him was naturally the first emperor Liu Xuan.

Liu Xuan was too far away from Hebei, and Wang Lang didn't have the strength to attack Liu Xuan now, so his eyes naturally fell on Liu Xiu, who was appointed by Liu Xuan and came to Hebei to appease him.

At present, his biggest and most direct threat in Hebei is Liu Xiu.

Wang Lang is also ruthless enough, in order to get rid of Liu Xiu's threat, he issued a holy decree, announcing to the world that anyone who can take Liu Xiu's head will be rewarded with 100,000 households.

You must know that Lu Buwei, who was in power back then, only ate 100,000 households, and Wang Lang offered a sky-high price in order to kill Liu Xiu. Speaking of which, Liu Xiu was really unlucky, he finally got out of Liu Xuan's control, and had this opportunity to appease Hebei, but he didn't have time to show his strength, but not long after he arrived in Hebei, Wang Lang appeared here in Hebei

Emperor.

Liu Xiu had just come out of Longtan and entered the tiger's den, and his situation in Hebei was definitely much more dangerous than that by Liu Xuan's side.

Liu Xuan wants to deal with him, but also because of the face of the Liu clan's relatives, as long as Liu Xiu is careful enough not to let Liu Xuan catch the handle, Liu Xuan can't do anything about him. But the current situation is different, here in Hebei, no one will care about any face, Wang Lang issued such a high reward order, it can be said that the entire Hebei region has come to a national mobilization, everyone wants Liu Xiu's head, take it to find Wang

Lang, please reward.

With Wang Lang's proclamation as emperor, Liu Xiu's situation in Hebei can be described as a sharp decline, from the originally respected and highest-level official, to a street rat that everyone shouts to kill.

After Liu Xiu arrived in Hebei, there were hundreds of people who took refuge in him, but after Wang Lang issued a reward order to Liu Xiu, these people who kept saying that they were loyal to him fled in groups.

In the end, there were only dozens of people left who insisted on staying by Liu Xiu's side and refused to leave, including Deng Yu, Zhu You, Cho Qi and other Liu Xiu's hardcore subordinates.

On this day, Liu Xiu and others entered the territory of Julu County. Originally, Liu Xiu planned to go to Zhending County to appease Liu Yang, the king of Zhending, but now he doesn't have to go, Liu Yang has publicly supported Wang Lang, and he will go to Liu Yang again, which is tantamount to throwing himself into a net.

Liu Xiu is very aware of his current situation in Hebei, which is extremely dangerous, and his life may be lost at any time.

Now he is faced with two choices, either stay in Hebei and continue to do the thing of appeasement, or immediately go south, return to Luoyang, and return to Liu Xuan.

The result of going south to Luoyang, Liu Xiu can predict it now, and Liu Xuan will definitely not give him a way to live.

Liu Xuan didn't have a chance to do anything to him before, but now he finally has a reasonable reason.

During his time in Hebei, there was a disturbance in Hebei about Wang Lang being called the emperor, even if this matter had nothing to do with Liu Xiu, Liu Xuan would forcibly put the sin on his head.

If he chooses to return to Luoyang, he will definitely die.

Therefore, it seems that there are two choices, but in fact, Liu Xiu has no choice at all, he can only bite the bill and continue to stay in Hebei, even if he hides in Tibet, it is much better than going back to Luoyang and being humiliated and beheaded by Liu Xuan.

The reason why Liu Xiu chose to enter Julu County was very simple, Julu County had not yet fallen to Wang Lang, and there were many waters in the territory, which was suitable for hiding, and Wang Lang sent people to chase him down, and he couldn't travel quickly when he arrived here.

But in the same way, the conditions in Julu County are also very difficult, now it is winter, in Julu County, sometimes it rains, sometimes it snows, the day is hot, the night is cold, and the temperature difference between day and night is very large.

The ground is also muddy, and the thin mud on the ground is cold and biting, and it won't be long before your feet are frozen and unconscious.

Walking to the mainland area, Liu Xiu and his party happened to encounter an abandoned small village, Liu Xiu and others entered the village, but did not find anyone, so they chose a relatively spacious empty house for temporary rest.

Long Yuan and the others lit a fire in the house, boiled a pot of boiling water, poured a bowl, handed it to Liu Xiu, and said, "Lord, drink some hot water and go to the cold!" ”

Liu Xiu nodded and took the bowl, and said to the people around him, "Everyone also drink some hot water!" ”

"Thank you, lord!" The crowd around them responded in unison.

They had not been resting long before there was a commotion outside.

Zhu You, Xu Ying, Xu Ting, and Xu Fei dragged the two young men in from outside. Entering the house, Xuying, Xufei, and Xuting pressed the two young men to their knees.

These two young people, everyone present knew each other, and they both took refuge in Liu Xiu in Yecheng.

The crowd didn't understand what was happening, and they all looked at each other in surprise. The two young men fell to their knees trembling, their heads lowered, and they didn't dare to breathe.

Liu Xiu looked at Zhu You and asked, "Ayou, what's wrong?" ”

"Lord, the two of them were about to run, and they were caught by their subordinates! According to the guess of his subordinates, the two of them must have gone to inform! As Zhu You spoke, he glared at the two young men fiercely.

The two young men trembled, and hurriedly said, "Lord, the villain is not going to tell the truth!" One of the young men had red eyes and choked up and said: "Since the villain took refuge in the lord, the lord has treated us with great courtesy and kindness, and the villain is also grateful to the lord." However, the villain has a high hall and a wife and children, which is really ......

You can't abandon it......" In the end, the young man was crying silently.

Everyone present listened to his words, and they were all concerned.

They also have parents, wives and children, and they have struggled in their hearts, and there are times when they want to leave, but Liu Xiu's character and virtue make them admire it in their hearts, and they are reluctant to leave like this.

After listening to the young man's words, Liu Xiu was silent for a moment, then turned his head to look at Zhu You and asked, "Ayou, how much dry food do we have?" ”

Zhu You frowned and whispered, "Lord, there is not much left!" ”

Liu Xiu said: "Give him two a bag and let them go!" ”

"The lord-" Zhu You was anxious, they had little food left, and then they gave them a packet, and even less left, besides, who knows if they left at this time, did they go to tell the truth and reveal the whereabouts of the lord? Liu Xiu looked around at everyone present and said softly: "I know that everyone has loved ones to take care of, so no matter who chooses to leave at this time, I will not blame you, nor will I have a grudge." If there is anyone who wants to leave in the future

You can explain to me that you don't have to run around secretly, and if you don't have food, how far can you go? ”

His words deeply moved everyone present, and many people couldn't help but burst into tears, and the two young men who were captured by Zhu You were even more ashamed and couldn't cry.

"Lord, we are not leaving, we are willing to stay!" The two young men wept in unison as they bowed their heads forward.

Liu Xiu got up, walked up to the two of them, pulled them up from the ground, and said, "Get up!" As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Zhu You.

The latter's facial features were almost crumbled, and in the end, he had no choice, so he stomped his feet hard, and took out a few pieces of dry food from his luggage, and wrapped them in a cloth.

Then he walked back to the two young men, shoved the small cloth bag into the hand of one of them, and shouted in a deep voice: "Get out of here!" Let me meet again in the future, even if I am emotional, my sword will not be emotional! ”

The two young men knelt down to Liu Xiu again and cried, "My lordβ€”"

"Go ahead!" The two of them have already given birth to renunciation, Liu Xiu will not stay anymore, even if he stays with the two of them now, it will not last long in the future, and it will also affect the emotions of others.

Seeing that Liu Xiu was resolute and insisted on refusing to leave the two of them behind, the two young men glanced at each other, kowtowed to Liu Xiu in both directions, then stood up and left.

Liu Xiu and the others stayed overnight in this abandoned village, and the next morning, everyone continued on their way. Liu Xiu and his entourage, because they were wanted by Wang Lang, did not dare to enter the town at all, and their food could not be replenished.

Along the way, food was constantly consumed, and after passing the Si Shui in Julu County, Liu Xiu and his party ran out of food completely. Liu Xiu at this time can be regarded as the most difficult moment he has experienced in his life.

He is in a foreign land, with no relatives, and there are many people around him who are searching for his whereabouts and trying to take his head.

In fact, the danger that Liu Xiu encountered at this time was not inferior to the Battle of Kunyang at all, and even more dangerous than the Battle of Kunyang.

The leaky house happened to rain overnight, and now Liu Xiu's situation is difficult enough, and at this time, he heard that Julu County is too guarded and has been returned to Wang Lang. Julu is too upright to gather troops and horses to hunt him down.

Liu Xiu couldn't stay in Julu County anymore, so he could only travel northeast to Xindu County. But not long after entering Xindu County, the bad news came again, and Xindu County also surrendered to Wang Lang.

Forced by the situation, Liu Xiu could no longer stay in Jizhou, and in desperation, he had to continue to flee north, out of Jizhou, and into Youzhou.

Liu Xiu left Xindu County, and as soon as he entered Zhuo County in Youzhou, he fell ill.

In the past few days, Liu Xiu has been exhausted, already tired, and has been without food for many days, and his body is seriously overdrawn, and these are not as good as his psychological pressure.

He finally left Luoyang and got out of Liu Xuan's control, but as soon as he arrived in Jizhou, Wang Lang was proclaimed emperor, and he was chased and killed by Wang Lang all the way.

From Zhaoguo County, to Julu County, and then to Xindu County, now the huge Jizhou has no place for him Liu Xiu, so he can only be forced to run into Youzhou.

Fleeing and running down this way, the pressure on Liu Xiu's heart was much greater than that around him.

He wants to live, and he has to lead these brothers around him to live together, but God just doesn't seem to want to give him a way to live, and all his roads are blocked.

Under the huge psychological pressure, as well as hunger and cold, Liu Xiu finally couldn't bear it anymore and fell ill all of a sudden.

At this time, Liu Xiu and his party had been out of food for many days, and for several days, they had relied on digging wild vegetables and grass roots to satisfy their hunger.

At this time, seeing Liu Xiu, who was sick, everyone present was at a loss. Now even if there is good medicine, it is useless, and the lord needs to eat.

At this time, Feng Yi suddenly pulled out the saber under his ribs, and everyone present was startled when they saw this, and asked in shock, "Gongsun, what are you doing here?" "He shouldn't be rebelling and trying to kill the lord, right?

Feng Yi looked at everyone, and then used his sword to cut his robe. People's eyes widened, he was going to cut off his robe and cut off righteousness?

On weekdays, Feng Yi is a lonely person, he doesn't speak at this time, after cutting the robe, he put his hand into the crack of the robe, searched for a long time, and then he pulled his hand out. Everyone looked closely and saw his hand clearly, people's eyes were about to fly out, and it turned out that Feng Yi was holding a handful of beans in his hand.
