Looking at the huge welcoming crowd, Man Zhong said to Wei Yan beside him: "Wen Chang, the prince's car is about to arrive, but the people inside and outside the city gate are innumerable, and the appearance of the prince after a while is very likely to cause chaos, if these people hide people with bad intentions and disturb the prince, you and I are both sinners of the country!" ”

Wei Yan heard this, and said: "I didn't expect the people to be so enthusiastic in advance, and they came to greet the prince spontaneously, so there was a big omission in the deployment, so I immediately went to rearrange the ......."

Man Pet nodded and said, "It's been a long time!" ”

Wei Yan smiled, called the two generals, and whispered a few words, and the two generals immediately took the order and left.

After a while, 3,000 elite soldiers cleared a straight passage several miles long and more than 50 zhang inside and outside the city gate, and all the people could only wait for Liu Zhang's arrival outside the passage; All the streets and alleys along the way from the straight city gate to the Weiyang Palace were emptied, and the halberders guarded both sides with their waists straight, and no one was allowed to pass......

has been waiting for more than an hour, but Liu Zhang's car is still nowhere to be seen, at this time, the sky is not beautiful, and a dripping spring rain suddenly came.

Many people were caught off guard by the spring rain that came out, although it was March, but the temperature was still a little low, those who took off their heavy cotton clothes were poured by the cold rain, involuntarily shivered, some people couldn't stand the cold, they looked left and right, seemed to want to find a place to shelter from the rain, or go home directly. Many people were willing to leave at this time, but they didn't know whether they were afraid or embarrassed, and no one was willing to take the first step......

The three thousand Yizhou soldiers who were also thinly dressed were unaware of the cold of the spring rain, and their bodies standing like green pines did not have the slightest help, and the cold rain fell on their cold armor and weapons, shattering into countless droplets.

The slightly commotion crowd looked at the soldiers like mountains, gradually quieted down, and while they were afraid, they were also very glad in their hearts, perhaps, this elite army could protect them from the suffering of war, and they could live and work in peace and contentment!

The pro-soldiers found umbrellas, but Man Zhong and Wei Yan shook their heads at the same time, signaling that they didn't need it, and the pro-soldiers could only hold the umbrella behind them.

"Wen Chang, it will take time for the lord to arrive, so that the people will greet the lord in the cold rain for such a long time, it is very likely to get sick, especially those old and weak women and children, one by one is weak and frail, if you give a good cold, I am afraid that it will damage the name of the lord's mercy, in my opinion, it is better to persuade the people to go back to the city!"

Wei Yan said: "Sir's intentions are very good, the lord loves the people like a son, and he has never been able to bear the sins of the people, if we sit back and watch the people suffer, I am afraid that the lord will offend you and me after learning about it!" ”

"That's not true, but I guess I can't run away after being scolded......" Man Pet smiled.

This time, Man Chong did not let Wei Yan send soldiers to persuade those people, these soldiers due to long-term training and walking down the battlefield full of corpses again and again, they inevitably had a murderous aura on their bodies, and they were asked to persuade the people, I am afraid that it would only make the people afraid.

After some persuasion by a few kind-faced officials, those old and weak women and children left in the rain, and many young people couldn't stand the cold and left together, after all, they were just grateful to Liu Zhang, and if they wanted to say that they were supportive, they couldn't talk about it for the time being, and naturally they didn't want to suffer in the cold rain. After a while, only about 10,000 people who were not afraid of the cold were still waiting for Liu Zhang's arrival in the cold rain.

After another half an hour, a cavalry figure finally appeared on the horizon in the distance, although it was far away, but Man Zhong and Wei Yan still recognized at a glance that it was the cavalry team to which Liu Zhang's tiger guard division belonged.

Shortly after the appearance of the Tiger Guard, a huge convoy also appeared in the distance.

Man Zhong and Wei Yan adjusted their clothes, and waited quietly for another quarter of an hour before Liu Zhang's chariot came to the city gate.

Man Pet and Wei Yan hurriedly greeted him, and both bowed: "Subordinates (last general) Man Pet (Wei Yan), see the prince!" ”

Liu Zhang lifted the curtain and stepped out of the carriage, and said with a smile: "No courtesy, Berning, Wen Chang, it's been good lately!" ”

Full of favor said: "Thanks to the prince Hongfu, everything is fine!" The lord has traveled far and wide, please enter the city and rest! ”

"No hurry, no hurry!" Liu Zhang said: "Lonely all the way to the mountains and rivers, how can you say that you are tired? But you, the time given to you is too hasty, presumably you have been busy these days without touching the ground! Great work! ”

Full of favor said: "It is our duty to relieve the worries of the Lord, and I dare not speak hard!" ”

Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Don't dare to say bitterness, that means that hard work is certain, but this time Lone can't give you a vacation, and you have to continue to work hard for a while, see?" There are 100,000 people waiting to be resettled, and then hundreds of thousands of people will move in one after another, not only can you not let you have a good rest, but also ask you to do your best to properly settle all the people, if you don't do it well, Lone will be condemned! ”

Man Zhong said: "My lord, please rest assured, my subordinates and Wen Chang have made arrangements, and we will definitely settle all the people properly in the shortest possible time!" ”

"That's good......" Liu Zhang nodded, and suddenly saw many people standing in the rain, many of them had bruised lips, and their faces couldn't help but feel cold.

Seeing this, Wei Yan hurriedly bowed and said: "My lord, when the people of Chang'an learned that the main bus was coming, they all came to greet them spontaneously, not arranged by the last general and others!" Previously, the number of people once reached 100,000, and after the heavy rain fell from the sky, the last general and Mr. Berning were worried that the people would be sick, and after warm persuasion, the people began to go home to take shelter from the rain and add clothes, but these people loved the lord and were unwilling to leave no matter how much they persuaded them......"

Liu Zhang nodded, re-boarded the carriage, stood on the carriage and saluted the people, and said loudly: "Thank you, thank you for all of you for loving Zhang so much, Zhang has no talent and no virtue, and is so loved by everyone, I feel quite guilty in my heart, Zhang hereby assures you that in Zhang's lifetime, I will do my best to prevent the war from coming again, please testify to everyone present, if one day, I can't do this, or I become as brutal as that Dong Zhuo, then let the thunder god appear and split my bones away!" I won't say much more, everything, please see my actions! Now, I implore you all to go home immediately, if you get sick because of me, it is my sin! Then he bowed to the people.

Liu Zhang's short words and two salutes made everyone present, whether it was the people, officials, or soldiers, all stunned.

After a long time, those people came back to their senses and applauded excitedly, no matter whether Liu Zhang could fulfill his promise in the future, but he could put down his posture so much, and he could make this promise in front of thousands of people, and make a heavy oath, then at this moment, these people had no reason to doubt him. Moreover, after the rule of the Yizhou army in the past few months, their lives have indeed undergone great changes, of course, this change is moving in a good direction, which shows that Liu Zhang is indeed working hard for the people of Guanzhong!
