In April and May, the Guanzhong area was divided into a pot of porridge, and the Huangchao thief army and the official troops from all over the country fought in Chang'an. And Li Jie is living a very nourishing life in the small county town of Xinxiang.

The army is still seizing the time to train, and various workshops are also seizing the time to produce, and the tofu has already been put on the market. The price is not expensive, and it is very popular with the people. The United Chamber of Commerce has made a name for itself in Weibo, and its products have gained a foothold in the three towns of Hebei, and a steady stream of silver has been transported back to Xinxiang.

In the back hall of the county ya, Li Jie is discussing things with Liu Qi, Chen Ziqi and others. "Your Highness," Liu Qi arched his hand, "Now that Xinxiang County has reached its limit, it is no longer possible to receive the population, but there are still displaced people who continue to pour into Xinxiang. Chen Ziqi also arched his hand and said, "Your Highness, there is not much food now, although the people's consumption of food has been greatly reduced, but at the current rate, it can only last for about a month!" And there are still nearly four months before the autumn harvest, Your Highness should prepare early, otherwise! The current good situation will come to naught! ”

Li Jie thought for a while, "Luoyang is a big city, grain and grass must be abundant, and I ordered people to buy grain from Luoyang at a high price, I think someone will sell it." As for the resettlement of displaced people. Let the United Chamber of Commerce come forward and bring in the gentry from the surrounding counties of Xinxiang, and the workshop will also be expanded. I think the rich people around me are red-eyed? As for Weibo, ignore him for now! What I want to do for them, they won't care! ”

At this time, Liu Junyi, who was standing behind Liu Qi, arched his hand, "Your Highness, the little one is not talented." I would like to go to Luoyang! Li Jie smiled: "Are you completely sure?" Liu Jun said, "No, but give it a try!" Li Jie thought, "It's okay, let the people of Jinyiwei cooperate with you!" Liu Junyi arched his hand, "Thank you, Your Highness!" ”

At this time, Han Yue spoke, "Your Highness, although the current security near Xinxiang County is very good, the surrounding counties are not peaceful. Find a way to fix it! Li Jie stood up and paced, making a big illusion of a cup of tea. Li Jie stood up and said, "Xiao Li and Wan Yong of the Special Brigade formulated the plan, and the army used small rules to take turns to fight. First, it is possible to train troops in actual combat. Second, the place can be appeased. Third, you can make a small fortune. Fourth, it won't put too much pressure on Weibo! The crowd nodded yes.

It is said that Liu Jun ran to the trading house, bought a hundred jars of wine and immediately loaded the car. Taking advantage of the loading time, I went back to my home in the city. When Liu Laocai heard that his son was going to Luoyang, he sat on the chair in fright and couldn't speak. Liu Jun smiled, "Dad, don't worry." My son will be fine! ”

Liu Laocai relieved himself and said, "Son! Why do you have to take this errand! Liu Jun smiled, "Dad, wealth is in danger!" In order for my Liu family to become a master, my son is willing to fight! And, don't you know me yet? When did I do something I'm not sure of? ”

Liu Laocai gritted his teeth, "Okay! Daddy won't talk about it! Be careful yourself! Go see your daughter-in-law and daughter! Liu Jun came out and returned to his room, where his daughter-in-law Lan'er was teasing her one-year-old daughter. The little one is smiling happily! Liu Jun stepped forward to pick up his daughter and kissed him, the little guy was unwilling, and said vaguely, "Zha, zha." Liu Jun laughed and held his daughter in his arms.

Turning his head, he whispered to Lan'er, "I'm going to go far away, you have to worry more about the family, my father's health is not very good, you have to do more filial piety for me!" Lan'er asked softly, "Xianggong, where are you going and how long will it take?" Liu Jun said, "Luoyang, about ten days." "Ahh With an exclamation, Lan'er covered her mouth with her hand, and tears flowed out at once.

Liu Jun took his wife into his arms, the daughter saw her mother crying, and the little guy got angry and patted Liu Jun with her little hand, "Dad is bad, dad is bad!" Liu Jun laughed and kissed the little guy, and then said to his wife, "Don't worry, there will be no danger." I'm just going to buy food, and the father and daughter will be handed over to you!" ”

Lan'er broke free and went to prepare Liu Jun's luggage. Half an hour later, Liu Jun joined the convoy at the city gate. The group began to make their way to the ferry. Looking back at his wife standing at the head of the city holding his daughter, Liu Jun waved his hand, and then his daughter opened her hands, "Daddy hug, dad hug!" The wife couldn't hold back her daughter and cried, Liu Jun turned around to wipe away her tears, and then turned around and waved at his wife and daughter and shouted, "Wait for me to come back!" ”

The convoy crossed the Yellow River to the outskirts of Luoyang, at this time Luoyang was still garrisoned by Liu Yunzhang, who surrendered to Huangchao, because there was no fighting, so Luoyang was completely preserved. Although there were soldiers guarding the city gate, the inventory was not strict, and the soldiers were given a piece of silver, and the convoy entered the city safely. Under the guidance of the accompanying Jinyi guard, he came to an inn in the east of the city. This is one of Jinyiwei's strongholds in Luoyang.

The innkeeper's name is Wang Cheng, and he was ordered to lurk here to collect intelligence. Liu Jun entered the inn and accompanied the Jinyi guard to take out the token. Wang Cheng immediately ordered someone to arrange a place to stay. In an airtight basement, Wang Cheng gave Liu Jun a detailed introduction to the current situation in Luoyang.

"My lord, at present, all of Huangchao's troops have left Luoyang. Luoyang is still garrisoned by Liu Yunzhang, who was originally left behind. "Oh! How is this person? "This person is a loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty, but he can't bear the suffering of the people, so he is a thief, and he is only meditating at home." "What's going on in the city?" "At present, some families in the city are deliberately raising the price of grain, and the security in the city is not very good! The military and officials are terrified. The surroundings of Luoyang are also in a mess, and they are completely unmanaged. Liu Jun paced back and forth in the room, and a crazy idea gradually appeared in his head.

Liu Jun took a pen and paper and began to write a letter. introduced the situation in Luoyang to Li Jie in detail, and wrote his plan in detail. After writing it, he immediately ordered someone to send it to Li Jie.

At dusk the next day, the letter was delivered to Li Jie. The content of this letter surprised Li Jie, and he convened everyone overnight to discuss. When the sun smiled, the tired crowd dispersed.

shouted to Xue Liang, who was leaving, "Some of this person's thoughts coincide with mine, I hope it's just a coincidence." Send credible people to keep an eye on him! You personally take people to Luoyang, don't make a mistake" "Oh! ”

On the third day, Su Xing and Xue Liang set off with people, accompanied by 1,000 giant archers, 1,000 pikemen, 300 cavalry, and 500 sword and shield soldiers, and after crossing the Yellow River, they controlled the Mengjin Ferry, and Xue Liang came to Luoyang first.

After finding Liu Jun, Xue Liang handed him the reply letter and went to find a place to sleep. The content of the letter is agreed with his plan, but it must not be exposed at present, and everything must be carried out in the name of Liu Yunzhang.

Liu Jun was overjoyed and ordered someone to bring wine and go straight to Liu's mansion. After a short time, he came to the front of the house, but saw that the door of the house was closed. He went up to call the door, and it took a long time for a servant to open the door and look out. Liu Jun stepped forward to explain his intentions, and the servant closed the door with a "clang", "My lord is not a guest, please go back!" ”

Liu Jun called the door again, and after a long time, the servant opened the door and said, "Didn't I say it?" My lord is not a guest. Liu Jun hurriedly stuffed a small ingot of silver, "Little brother, please give this jar of wine to your master." The servant hugged the wine and said, "Okay, you wait. ”

In the ninth year of Xiantong, he knew Gongju, and became the observer envoy of Ezhou, the secretary of the Ministry of Inspection and Engineering, and later stayed in the eastern capital. Huang Chao committed Luoyang, Yunzhang could not refuse, the thief was not harmed, and he was wasted at home. to die of illness. The court recital on the table profoundly exposed the crisis of the empire, but no one listened to him. Huang Chao captured Luoyang, he knew that the army had no combat power, and he couldn't bear the suffering of the people, so he opened the city to dedicate it. At that time, he was already determined to die, and he just sat at home every day and begged for death.

In the past few days, his health has become more and more weak, and the servant Jun came in and whispered, "Master, there is someone outside the door who wants to see you!" Liu Yunzhang waved his hand weakly, and the servant said again, "That person said, please make a decision after drinking the wine!" ”

Liu Yunzhang nodded lightly, and the servant gently broke the sealing mud on it. As soon as the mud seal is broken, a strong aroma of wine spreads, and there is immediately a feeling of relaxation and pleasure.

Liu Yunzhang's spirits were violently lifted, and the strong aroma of wine was so strong. The servant took a cup and poured a glass of wine, and handed it to the young master who was kneeling in front of the bed, and the young master Liu Jiancheng hurriedly handed the wine to his father. Liu Yunzhang took the cup and took a sip gently, it was so spicy and strong. Drinking the wine violently, I felt a fire dragon from the mouth into the throat to the lungs, the stomach was uncomfortable, like a fire burning between the chest and abdomen, the whole body had an indescribable comfort, and the depression in the heart seemed to fade.

"Invite him to sit in the flower hall for a while! Come! Change! Bring me another bowl of porridge! "Son Liu Jiancheng was overjoyed, while serving his father to change clothes, while ordering people to prepare food, how many days did his father finally take the initiative to eat!

Looking at his excited son, Liu Yunzhang smiled, "I'm fine, I don't have to worry!" I drank a bowl of porridge and was helped by my son to the flower hall. At this moment, Liu Jun was very nervous, because his plan was too crazy!

Looking at Liu Yunzhang who came out, Liu Jun immediately bowed down and saluted, "The villain has seen the left-behind adults!" Liu Yunzhang waved his hand, "No courtesy!" After Liu Jun stood up straight, Liu Yunzhang asked, "I don't know why the distinguished guest saw me?" Liu Jun glanced at Liu Jiancheng, "It's okay, this is a dog!" Liu Yunzhang said, Liu Jun arched his hand and said, "My lord, this matter is very important, or only you and I are the best!" ”

After Liu Jiancheng withdrew, Liu Yunzhang said, "What's the matter with His Royal Highness King Shou!" Liu Jun was stunned, "How do adults know!" Liu Yunzhang smiled slightly, stroked his beard under his chin and said, "This thing is only available to His Highness, and there is no such thing anywhere else!" Liu Jun said with a smile, "The adults are really powerful, and the villain doesn't hide from the adults who stayed behind, this time I came to Luoyang to buy grain, but I didn't expect Huangchao to leave no one!" ”

Liu Yunzhang smiled and said, "It's just a grass coward, and it will be destroyed sooner or later." It's just that I can finally prevent Luoyang from falling into the hands of the enemy, and sacrifice the city to the enemy, and I feel guilty! ”

Liu Jun arched his hand and said, "His Royal Highness King Shou, keep the world in mind, cherish the people, today it is said that there are eunuch families in the world who are in turmoil, and there are feudal towns outside." His Royal Highness King Shou wants to reorganize the rivers and mountains and rebuild the Tang Dynasty, but now the Luoyang family is still doing evil, and although His Royal Highness hates the family, he does not want to bear the infamy. Today, the villain dares to ask the adults if they dare to do it! ”
