Until the 500 warships of the Chaohu Water Division left, the Luzhou Tongzhi and Luzhou Tongju were still in a dream.

After stopping for an hour, the Chaohu Water Division withdrew?

That General Deng also brought thousands of soldiers on board?

Artillery taken away?

The ballista was taken away?

How many Chuzhou troops are left in Luyang?

Aren't they afraid that the prefect will get the news and bring the government soldiers back to Luyang?

The two looked at each other, paying attention to the remaining leaders of the Chuzhou army.

In addition to Shui Jin looking like it, there are two left, one is a thin boy, and the other is neither male nor female, can this be used?

It's not reassuring.

Hey?

These people's faces turned dark, is this also bottomless?

Shui Jin, Huo Bao, Ma Juzi and others did not look good.

"Deng Ye is not kind!"

Shui Jin whispered to Huo Bao and complained: "Staying in Luyang is a big deal, and Deng Ye should have stayed in person!" ”

In that case, the one who sent the ballista and the gun cart to Beiguan should be the Shuijin Department.

Huo Bao also puffed out his cheeks, and there luck.

It's nothing to leave the water in and the foal to defend the city, why did you leave yourself behind?

He also wanted to see the Battle of Chaohu.

Whether it is a surface battle or a land battle, it is a grand scale, and it is exciting to think about.

But Deng Jian looked at Luyang's side, Chuzhou had few soldiers, and he couldn't be transferred, so he used child soldiers to make up the numbers here.

In addition, he was wary of Chaohu Lake sailors and didn't want Huo Bao to board the boat.

But he is worried about Huo Bao, so he is not worried about his own safety?

The dignified number one general in Chuzhou can't be more steady.

Even if you march by land, it is only a day slower than taking a boat, so what can't be delayed?

The end is bold, but this kind of courage and bearing can also impress the sailors and soldiers.

The foal wanted to cry without tears.

Shui Jin, Huo Bao and yesterday's merit and gains from the Liu family, she and Huo Hu guarded the granary for two days.

originally thought that they could catch up with the battle of Beiguan, but Deng Jian ordered them to continue to guard the granary.

This...... Military orders are like mountains......

There's nowhere to reason......

Luzhou Tongzhi pondered and stepped forward and said: "General Shui, General Deng left with thousands of men and horses, is there a shortage of people in this Luyang City?" ”

Shui Jin said: "I have already sent a letter to Shen County, there are still 5,000 soldiers and horses over there, and 3,000 will be dispatched to Luyang!" ”

Two thousand Chuzhou troops, two thousand five new soldiers, and the five hundred single soldiers who were incorporated into the auxiliary army, etc., were exactly 5,000.

After hearing this, Luzhou Tongzhi felt at ease.

That's pretty much it, three thousand soldiers left, and three thousand were made up.

Otherwise, how would the rest of these centaurs guard Luyang?

Luzhou was sentenced, but he sighed in his heart.

Sure enough, Shen County, located between Hezhou and Luyang, had fallen into the hands of the Chuzhou army.

In this way, Chao County, which is located on the border of Hezhou and Luzhou, is also difficult to hold.

The six counties of Luzhou have sunk half of them.

Luzhou, powerless to return to the sky

……

Although the Chuzhou army had indicated that it was coming to aid the Chaohu Water Division, there was no shock that the warship came to the city.

The fierceness of the Chaohu water division is felt most deeply by the people of Luzhou.

The little uncertainty in the gentry's heart before was settled.

With the well-armed cross-river dragon of the Chuzhou Army, combined with the fierce local snake of the Chaohu Water Division, what is the use of the tens of thousands of new soldiers temporarily requisitioned by the prefect?

In Luyang City, calm was restored.

Just in case, the water still asked people to close the city gates.

Before the Battle of Chaohu is settled, Luyang City will always be on guard.

Before dusk, the 3,000 men and horses of Shen County arrived in Luyang.

Among them, 1,000 veterans under Deng Jian's command and 2,000 new soldiers.

The old pawn directly divided into two songs and guarded the two city gates.

The remaining Xinding entered the government military camp for training.

……

Huo Bao took the booklet of Luyang's acres and acres of land, and he was happy in his heart.

No matter what the reason, taking down the gentry clan led by the Liu family and the Qiao family is a good start for the Chuzhou army.

The fertile land, woodland, and mountainous land under the names of these dozen or so households account for 30% of the land in Luyang.

Based on these, the resistance to building an army will be much smaller.

Not to mention the property and other things obtained by the raid, which are innumerable.

"It's addictive to raiding your home!"

Shui Jin stared at the storage of the property, turned around and sighed to Huo Bao.

When Huo Bao heard this, he couldn't help but wake up.

Who would have too much money for nothing?

But as soon as this precedent was opened, the atmosphere in the future was broken.

The first thing the general thought of outside was to find a way to copy the house.

As a result, the reputation of the Chuzhou Army was ruined.

I don't mention it in advance, but I need to make up for the current thing.

How important it is for a teacher to be famous.

"The rebellious behavior of the Liu family and others' private soldiers, the Qiao family, the Wang family, and the Zhang family's evil deeds of killing relatives should be made public and remembered by the world!"

Huo Bao closed the booklet and issued the first order in Luyang.

……

For the sake of Huo Bao's safety, Deng Jian, Shui Jin and others did not make his identity public.

Or the water goes in front of you.

This order was issued in the name of Shuijin.

Luzhou Tongzhi originally dissuaded, not for anything else, but for fear that the people in the city would be afraid.

After all, now the officials and gentry know that Luyang is a different master, and the small people still don't know about it.

Shui Jin knew that there had been a lot of movement in the past two days, and the city gate was closed, so the news could not be concealed at all.

Rather than letting rumors fly around and causing unrest to people's livelihood, it is better to be frank.

After showing their identities to the Luyang gentry, the Chuzhou Army also officially revealed their identities to the people of Luyang.

……

There are several items listed on the notice of the government office.

Lao Dutong was poisoned.

The prefect wants to force the anti-Chaohu water division.

Several families led by the surname Liu raised private soldiers to rebel.

The Qiao family, the Wang family, and the Zhang family killed their relatives without filial piety.

The last one, the Chuzhou White Shirt Army was invited by the Chaohu Water Division to enter Luzhou to maintain local stability, and took over the internal and external security of Luyang on the same day.

The people of Luyang finally knew the reason why the city gate was closed in the past few days.

The officials and gentry in Luzhou finally understood the origin of the "good reputation" of the Chuzhou army.

"Killing people is not a nod to the ground, this is a dead person who should also be a stepping step!"

Luzhou Tongzhi muttered in his heart.

Not averse.

Where will the people investigate the truth and falsehood, and only look at what is above for everyone to see.

Huanghuai is the place where Maitreya is most widely spread, and many people are Maitreya followers, and everyone has a natural good impression of the White Shirts.

Seeing that the notice was clear, the people were less anxious.

Luzhou was sentenced, but he stood in the crowd and read the notice for a while.

Every one of them is true.

Cause and effect are omitted from each article

Whoever reads this notice will be white and clean as the Chuzhou army.

Stinky and shameless!

……

There was an order, Huo Bao did not call it and wrote it into the notice, but sent people down to pass the word to several grain companies in the city one by one, "Do not raise the price of grain, and those who violate the order will be beheaded."

As expected, as soon as the notice came out, what the people of the small people cared about was not whether the old capital was wronged, whether the Chaohu sailors were against it or not, whether the Liu family and the Qiao family were wronged, but whether the price of food had risen or not.

It's going to war!

Luyang is not very peaceful, the city gate is not known when it will be opened, and the family has to store grain.

Whether you are hiding in the city or fleeing for refuge, food is the most important thing.

Everyone is not disgusted by the white-shirted army, but this world is still the world of the imperial court, who knows how long the white-shirted army will stay in Luyang?

The people poured into the grain store as soon as possible.

The grain shop did not dare to raise the price of grain when it got the word, but it did not dare to sell grain openly.

More than 20,000 households and 100,000 people in Luyang City are open to selling grain, and they can be sold out in one day.

Now that the city gate is closed again, the inside and outside are not connected, and the grain has been sold out, what should the shop do?

Even if you close the door, you have to believe that you don't have any food in stock.

Otherwise, the people who have not bought food will make a fuss.

The grain store was reluctant to carry the risk by itself, so it found the government office.

Luzhou Tongzhi found Shui Jin, and Shui Jin found Huo Bao.

With the example of Qu Yang in front, this matter is easy to solve.

In the end, the major grain stores all posted notices stamped with the seal of Tongzhi, and sold grain according to the household registration booklet, and the young and strong ten catties, the elderly, women, and children were halved.

Although the people who bought grain were dissatisfied, they were also at ease.

Everyone buys so much, so they don't worry about buying late, and the food will be bought out by the people in front.

The previous situation of robbery was suddenly alleviated.

In addition, just after the autumn harvest, the major grain stores have sufficient reserves, and the turmoil of buying grain is easily solved.

Luzhou Tongzhi didn't know that there was a precedent in Quyang County, but he admired the water in and out.

This man looked young and reckless, but he acted prudently, no wonder that General Deng dared to leave him to guard Luyang.

He didn't know that it was a teenager who took over the internal affairs of Luyang, otherwise he was afraid that he would faint.

……

"What's next?"

Shui Jin said with a little curiosity.

He has never underestimated Huo Bao, but as he makes friends, Huo Bao makes him more and more sideways every time.

"The reputation is barely maintained, and all that is left is money and people!"

Huo Bao thought for a moment.

The Chuzhou army is a dragon crossing the river in Luyang, but according to the future strategy, there is no reason to spit out this territory.

In this way, operating Luyang has also become the first priority.

There is an example of Chuzhou in the front, but there are many detours.

After the "killing chickens and monkeys" has passed, all that remains is to appease.

I just copied more than a dozen houses, and the remaining wool was raised first and then raised, otherwise people and dogs would be forced to jump over the wall.

"You have to let everyone see the hope, don't sit idle...... Follow the example of Chuzhou, let's take the clerk exam......"

There is a bright prospect ahead, even if some people are not optimistic about the Chuzhou army, some people will be optimistic.

As a result, the Luyang gentry were divided into two camps and could not be united.

"As for the exam, registration is free...... In order to draw children into the barracks, the family must have one descendant or two collateral children into the barracks......"

When Shui Jin heard this, he showed his disapproval: "The fifth master's pro-military camp is all carefully selected Quyang disciple soldiers, and he has checked three generations of ......."

Huo Bao nodded and said: "I know this rule, it's not my father's personal barracks, it's mine...... I can't go back in the name of choosing a companion, when the time comes, I'm in trouble, and Mr. Lin is also in trouble, so I'll go directly to the barracks, and then choose some from the children of the gentry in Hezhou, and hang a name, the number of people is uncertain......"

Huo Bao is the young master of the Chuzhou Army.

The selection of the children of the gentry as his own soldiers is regarded as a promotion for each family.

This is a disguised use of the son as a hostage, tying all families to the carriage of the Chuzhou army.

Shui Jin frowned and said, "The safety of the fifth master is important, so your safety doesn't matter?" Can you think of individual names again? ”

Huo Bao said helplessly: "Could it be that I am a fool and will let these people get close?" It's just a name, I'm either a leopard or a great sage staring at me, what's not to worry about...... If we don't put things first, in a few days someone will be thinking about marriage...... Does Brother Shui want me to have a few more little girls, or do you want to show off a few more sisters? ”

Shui Jin naturally remembered that when Huo Wu was in Binjiang County, the families were ready to move.

Chuzhou was because the disciples and others advanced to the city, and the gentry and merchants sent a stubble, and they were more restrained later.

And the state is in a hurry.

Here in Luyang, there must be no marriage for women.

Huo Wu only has an only child, which is not safe for the lord of the troubled times, many people are worried, but no one persuades him, because Huo Bao is in front, everyone doesn't want to offend him.

Whether Huo Wu remarries or takes a concubine, it affects Huo Bao's interests.

As for Huo Bao, there is Deng Jian's father-in-law, if he is really dragged into marriage......

Shui Jin shuddered: "Okay, according to what Brother Bao said, the children of the gentry will recruit relatives ......."
