Let's talk about Huarong again, return to Boxing County. However, he was not stationed in Qingzhou, but led troops to be stationed in Boxing County, the county seat on the south bank of Jishui, and the northernmost county seat in Qingzhou.

I saw that Yiyu Hou was waiting for him in the public office, but it was Na Du Chong who got Zizhou's request for help, and sent Hua Rongbu, who had less than 2,000 troops, to Zizhou.

This is Hongguoguo's borrowed knife to kill.

Hua Rong read the official document, his face was blue, and a murderous aura rose in his heart. But the next day he led his troops and horses westward.

This Zizhou is sandwiched between Dongping Mansion and Qingzhou Mansion, and the northernmost point is crossed by Jishui, and the area is less than half the size of Qingzhou. Liangshanbo has already seized Dongping Mansion, and then to the east, won't this Zizhou bear the brunt?

Hua Rong led the army and horses to the west along Jishui, and as expected, gradually went west, and gradually became sparsely populated. Several times when they encountered a small group of bandits, they were all exterminated, or when they saw the banner of Hua Rong, the bandits dispersed by themselves. It's not a hassle to go all the way.

First enter Gaoyuan County, and then go to Zouping. The latter goes to the southwest ten miles, called Diaowoyu, which is the former site of Wang Bo's uprising at the end of the Sui Dynasty. At the same time, this place can also be regarded as Fan Zhongyan's second hometown. Fan Zhongyan was born in Suzhou, remarried to Zouping with his mother at the age of four, and studied hard in Liquan Temple in Changbai Mountain, and finally became a great career. After living in Zouping for 18 years, there is also a Fan Gong Ancestral Hall in the local area, but when Hua Rong led the army to pass by, he saw that the Fan Gong Ancestral Hall had been burned to the ground by a fire.

The county seat of Zouping is close to the tributary of Jishui, which made a big bend in Zouping County, and then flowed down to the south. When Hua Rong arrived in Zouping County, he saw that the two of them took the name of Zhizhou, and led a team of people to line up to greet Hua Rong at the gate of the city. Hua Rong didn't dare to say anything. took the name post, and was led straight to the government office by the head of the capital.

On the way, Hua Rong asked the two heads where the county was, but he didn't want to learn that the county of Zou Ping and the main book had slipped away. Just when Ma Zheng's army was defeated and Dongping Mansion was lost. Hua Rong's heart was immediately clouded, and he asked again: "Who is the current person in charge of this Zouping County?" How does Zhizhou handle things? Do you know what to do? ”

The two of them glanced at each other, and one of them replied: "The good general knows that we have never had a county in this small county of Zouping, and the county and the master have gone, and the only person in charge of the county is the county lieutenant Master Li, who fell on a horse the day before yesterday and injured his leg, and he is still raising it at home." And Meng Xianggong of the state city was born as a jinshi, and he only knows how to play and sing, at most he can only make two sets of songs, write a few articles, and know how to be military! If the general wants to fight, Hugh still counts on the good of Nazhou City. Hua Rong was speechless for a while.

The dignified Zhizhou was ridiculed like this, which shows that the prestige of Meng Zhizhou has been swept away. Hua Rong said in his heart: "The dignified Zhizhou should have some prestige, no wonder he is humble to me." "Even if he Huarong is a reinforcement, it is beyond imagination for a regiment to train an envoy to get the courtesy of Yizhizhou.

However, Zizhou and Dongping Mansion are close at hand, and Liangshan Bobao is not allowed to kill the future, so he is not polite to Hua Rong at this time, and calls that Meng Zhizhou, a weak chicken literati who only knows how to play and sing, come to guard this piece of land?

Hua Rong said: "I came here, since I am serving and defending the land, why do you need to know that the state comes to respect me?" But I don't know how many soldiers and horses there are in this Zouping City now? ”

Both looked at each other, but did not reply. Hua Rong said with a straight face: "If there is anything hidden, just tell the truth." There are only about 100 soldiers and horses who greet me today, is this dangerous place only these troops? I didn't want to investigate the past, but if you wait and talk about the situation here, I also know in my heart that there has already been a disposition. ”

"The state is not something that little people know. I only know that the people in the county are brave, and there are thousands of people, but since the county master fled, there have been escapees, and they have never been recruited. Recently, in the past few days, County Lieutenant Li has broken his leg in a fall, his restraint has been relaxed, and he has fled a lot, and now there are only two or three hundred people left, all of whom are tired of family and cannot leave. Both of them are already dead, and they are conceited that they are still passable, and they can't stand Liang Shanbo's knife, which is to be a monk for a day and hit the clock for a day.

But Hua Rong was dumbfounded when he heard it.

It's just that Meng Zhizhou expected Hua Rong to create a miracle, and rushed to Zouping the next afternoon. But this guy couldn't pull his face to Zouping to greet Yiqiu Ba, and carried the shelf to 'inspect' Changshan County, and Changshan County is at the southern end of Zouping County, and then the southern end is Zizhou Prefecture.

Yesterday, the two heads of Zouping County came to greet Hua Rong, and today Hua Rong came to greet Meng Zhizhou.

Welcome him to the second hall of the county government and invite him to take a seat. Hua Rong bowed down and said humbly: "The kid is a martial artist, and he is humble, and he is ashamed." ”

That Meng Zhizhou spoke sincerely: "It's not that Benzhou is humble, but the general has saved me from fire and water here." Benshu has long heard of the general's name, which is a heroic man today, and he has made many miraculous feats on the battlefield, and he admires him very much. Nowadays, Zizhou is barren and sparsely populated, and there is a shortage of soldiers and salaries, but it is adjacent to Dongping Mansion, maintaining the weight of the military, which really makes Benzhou feel hesitant, and the general comes, so that Benzhou's heart is lifted, and I only hope that the general will teach me. As he spoke, he raised his hand and shook it a few times.

Hua Rong thought, it turned out to be like this. This Meng Zhizhou was originally a peace officer, but now he was thrown on the battlefield all of a sudden, and he had no soldiers in his hands, and he wanted food but no food. Yu Jin ran out of ideas, but came to find the military attache to support him. Then he said: "Hua Rong is a rough man, he only saves fighting, and he doesn't know how to govern the country and the country." Today, I learned that the state minister asked, according to Xiao Ke's intentions, the first is to appease the homeless. ”

"Hua Rong traveled all the way, and saw that there were quite a few homeless people in the territory, groups of three or five hundred, or mixed with strong people, good and bad, everywhere." In fact, Hua Rong didn't understand it very much, could it be that Liang Shanbo was so terrible that he would rather leave his family and business to leave his hometown than flee to another country. Don't they all know Liang Shanbo's benevolence? I don't know about the "strange thing" in the winter of last year that made people think it was black and white? But that's just the way it is.

After all, man is a herd animal.

Just like in 1949, were the people who fled to Hong Kong Island all capitalists and rich peasants? It cannot be denied that there are many of them who yearn for [self-travel, dish cooking] baked cakes, but you should also know that this person is a social animal, and it is easy to be affected by the group atmosphere, and the vast majority of people have a herd mentality.

"This generation is all a child of the court, and now there is no fixed place to live, hunger and cold are pressing, and there is no other intention. If the strong ones are recruited, it will be Zizhou, and it will not be difficult to get five or seven thousand troops. The strong ones are recruited, and the old and weak are not difficult to deal with. As for the strongmen in this state, they can be appeased; When it can't be appeased, the bento is removed. Otherwise, there will be no stability in the country. And the stability of the state is good for the outside world. From time to time, once Liangshanbo soldiers and horses arrive, how can they hold the realm? ”

Hua Rong's words had the effect of initiating enlightenment with Na Zhizhou, and Na Zhizhou said again and again: "Benzhou has been tossing and turning day and night recently, and I have no peace, no reason, I just feel that my eyes are full of darkness. Now listening to the general's words, he is very insightful, and everything is expected to preside. But I didn't know that this was Hua Rong's kindness. Even if these people go to Qingzhou, Du Chong will turn a blind eye. I don't know how much I will lose along the way. It's better to settle on the spot, then Liang Shanbo will call, and he won't do anything with them.

It's just that Hua Rong saw that Zhizhou couldn't come up with any ideas, so he was angry and funny. This man is too helpless.

"Why did the governor of the state make such a statement? It's not shameful to call Hua Rong. Hua Rong was ordered to come to Zizhou, he came to help Zizhou, and his duty was to do his best. However, it is a humble matter to charge into battle, but this order must be governed by the public. For example, what Hua Rong said just now to appease the exiles, how much salary should be raised, how many soldiers should be recruited, and where to settle the old and weak, the prime minister is the lord of a state, and the prime minister must be judged only by the prime minister. How dare Hua Rong speak. ”

Don't think that Hua Rong is a military general, so he doesn't know the mystery inside. Gathering the displaced people, recruiting soldiers, and putting it in a critical moment, civilians, officials, and doctors can all do it. But no matter how dangerous it is, this kind of thing has to be done by military attachés. Otherwise, you have to use your neck to test whether the blade of the court is sharp.

It was that Song Jiang who went to Denglai and the two states to recruit soldiers and horses, and was also sent by Ma Zheng to send a division to participate in the military. Although it was only an official position from the eighth grade.

"It was Lieutenant General Honshu who hurriedly said the wrong thing. It's just that this kind of thing has never been experienced in Honshu's life. What should be done, General Wanwang instructed. The two brows of Zhizhou were frowning, and his hands kept rubbing his beard. I don't know if it's really bullshit, or if I have other plans in mind.

Hua Rong can only say that he has just arrived, and he has never understood the customs of the people, as well as the old rules of money and food for military horses. If you want to say a thing or two, you should also allow him to ask his subordinates, examine the situation, and then report it.

And it is in Dongping Mansion not far from Zouping. A unique exam is underway.

Liang Shanbo's army seized Dongping Mansion, and the local officials fled, died, and it was inconvenient to be captured, and no one who was willing to take the initiative to serve Liang Shanbo could not be seen. But the officials all fled and died, and there were still many small officials in the yamen.

For these people, Liang Shanbo is a discerning demon mirror - if you damn it, it will never flow. After that, the rest of the officials were all gathered together and made a separate roster of different categories.

Among them, there are those who are willing to take the initiative to serve Liang Shanbo, and their names are written on the first book. If such a person can pass the written examination, the leaders and petty officials at the middle and grassroots level can be called to serve as them.

In Lu Qian's eyes, Xu officials are a huge reserve system of 'civil servants'. One by one, they are familiar with the people's situation and know the deeds of officialdom, which should not be underestimated.

Those who did not take the initiative to serve Liang Shanbo were all recorded in Book B. There must be diehards in the old Zhao family, but only a few people will show their faces. Like the last, it is recorded in Book C. Generally speaking, the descendants of the characters recorded in Book C should not have expectations for officialdom in the next three or twenty years. Unless the old Zhao family can rise up, they push Lu Qian back.

Jeju Mansion is no longer within the scope of Lu Qian's plan, but Dongpyeong Mansion is stepping on the line of dispensability. Then Lu Qian needs to make an appearance, even if it is on the surface.

In the courtyard of the yamen of the prefect of Dongping Prefecture, more than 50 officials who were willing to take the initiative to serve Liangshanbo were gathered. After going through another life choice, I got the exam papers that each decided the starting point of the new life.
