Chapter Ninety-Four: Entering Luoyang City
The atmosphere in the county government has become solidified, Liu Bi is obviously unwilling to release forty percent of the grain and grass to He Yi, now there is not much grain and grass in the city, and he was only one of his men and horses before, but in the past few days, in order to overwhelm each other, the two sides have frantically pulled people from the city, and the people in the city have almost become the Yellow Turban Army as long as they can hold weapons, so that the troops of both sides are not only not lost because of the melee for days, but more than before.
However, correspondingly, the consumption of grain and grass is increasing day by day, and the grain and grass that was originally enough for Liu Pijun in March is now spread out evenly, and even half a month can not be supported, it is not an exaggeration to say that at this moment, in Geling City, as long as it is a living person, it is considered a yellow scarf, and the number of yellow turbans has reached nearly 200,000, which is almost comparable to the yellow scarves in the entire Runan before the infighting.
And He Yi, coming here today is that good, now that the main force of the official army is coming to the city, he is also worried, but looking at the appearance of the two, he feels inexplicably happy in his heart.
After some bargaining, the three parties finally reached an agreement, He Yi, Gong Du, and Liu Pi divided the grain and grass of Geling equally, and before repelling the official army, they set the rules of complementary attacks before leaving.
It's just that compared to He Yi, who was complacent about getting grain and grass for nothing, Liu Bi, who distributed more than half of his own grain and grass for no reason, was obviously not in such a good mood.
β¦β¦
Regarding the mutual compromise and temporary reconciliation of the three forces in Geling City, Ye Zhao didn't know, he only needed to grasp the general direction, grain and grass were the key, and when the grain and grass in the city were exhausted, not to mention that there was already a contradiction between He Yi, Liu Pi and Gong Du, even if there was none, he would have to mess up.
At this moment, Ye Zhao is not concerned about this matter, among the handsome tents that have been built, there are more than a dozen bamboo notes in front of Ye Zhao, Ye Zhao is writing hard, until the sky gradually darkens, Ye Zhao stopped writing, stretched his body, and rubbed his eyes.
"My lord." Fang Yue saw Ye Zhao stop writing, stepped forward and bowed down and said: "Everything is arranged according to the will of the lord, depending on the situation, the yellow turban thieves in the city have not seen the clues." β
"Hmm." Ye Zhao didn't pay attention to this matter, and after stretching his body, he continued to write hard, but this time he was not concentrating: "Tomorrow I will take Dian Wei away for a few days, during this period, according to the deployment mentioned before, Qiu Chi has already written to me yesterday, and there are already several strong teams in the Runan area to help, and they can be arranged according to the formation map." β
Ye Zhao stopped his pen and said while thinking: "If the Yellow Turban thieves in the city see the clue and send troops out of the city, if there are few soldiers, they will fight, if there are many soldiers, then avoid their edge, if they want to break through, let them break through, don't force them to stay." β
"The lord is the great responsibility of the three armies, why did he leave?" Fang Yue looked at Ye Zhao in surprise.
"I'm going to Luoyang, and there are some things that I have to personally submit to the court." Ye Zhao looked up at Fang Yue and said: "Although this yellow scarf is powerful, it has already declined, so there is no need to worry, but after this chaos, how to govern it is the real consideration of the imperial court, I hope to present this book to the imperial court, whether it is used or not, I can't care about it, but I have to do this thing." β
Ye Zhao wrote, are some after the pacification of the yellow scarf, how to govern in various places, he was the lord of the surviving land in his previous life, after the chaos, how to restore the people's livelihood, he still has some experience, these days Ye Zhao has been thinking about these problems, the times are different, it is impossible to copy the things in the previous life, but as a reference, combined with the accumulation of knowledge of his body predecessor and the experience he has accumulated for officials in the past few years, it is not difficult to write a book.
The Yellow Turban Rebellion, in the final analysis, was a contest between the family and the imperial power, but there was no winner in this contest, it was a lose-lose, no matter what the original plan of the Son of Heaven was, but this uprising had indeed shaken to the foundation of the Han family, not to mention anything else, the Son of Heaven had ordered the officials of the states and counties to recruit their own troops to kill the enemy, no matter what kind of pressure they were forced to, but the imperial court's control over the local area has been weakened since then.
Ye Zhao made this volume, on the one hand, he did have some compassion, hoping that after the turmoil ended, the people could restore stability as soon as possible, and on the other hand, he also hoped to further improve his status among the Son of Heaven and even Shilin.
Although the class is solidified, it is not solidified to the point that there is really no room for promotion, although there are signs of the top-grade Wuhanshi, although there are already signs, but it has not completely and completely become the established rules, he hopes that before the class is completely solidified, he will completely enter the ranks of the famous people, and the Ye family will also be completely promoted from the wealthy family to the prestigious family.
There is no clear boundary, and Ye Zhao worshipped Cai Yong as a teacher before, and he already has the qualifications to advance to the prestigious family, what he needs at this moment is status and reputation, and this advection book is the stepping stone prepared by Ye Zhao, as for how much effect it can play, Ye Zhao can't estimate it at the moment, but as long as it can come in handy, the benefits to him are immeasurable.
"It's as short as three days, as long as five days, and you will be back, don't worry." Ye Zhao finished writing the last scroll of bamboo paper, dried the ink roll, stood up, and said to Fang Yue.
"In the end, I will arrange to be strong and protect the main public security." Fang Yue hurriedly bowed and said.
"Not necessarily!" Ye Zhao stretched out his hand to block: "This trip should not be publicized, Dian Wei can go with me, you are here to preside over the war, remember not to be careless, wait for me to return, and then make plans." β
"Whoa!" Hearing this, Fang Yue bowed and said.
That night, Ye Zhao put the bamboo paper in his bag, rode with Dian Wei, and rushed to Luoyang overnight.
Geling is six hundred miles away from Luoyang, even if the war horses of the two are excellent war horses obtained from the grassland, change horses all the way without changing people, and rush to Luoyang, it will take a day and a night, this is also Ye Zhao and Dian Wei's physical strength is different from ordinary people, they can withstand it, and they can't do it so fast as someone else, Rao is so, the two of them went all the way through Yingchuan, and they showed the official document in Yique Pass, and they were exhausted when they arrived in Luoyang.
"My lord, shall we go directly to the emperor?" Luoyang is not an ordinary city, after entering the city, the princes and nobles are not allowed to ride horses if they are not in an emergency battle report, Ye Zhao and Dian Wei led the horse, and Dian Wei asked boredly.
"How can it be so easy, if you want to see the Son of Heaven, you need to report in advance, and then wait for the Son of Heaven to summon you, we don't have so much time to wait." Ye Zhao shook his head, he came over this time to be a bit out of the law, don't say it's not easy to see, even if he can see the Son of Heaven, Ye Zhao doesn't dare to see him at this time.
"Then what are we doing in Luoyang?" Dian Wei glared in amazement.
"Go see my teacher." Ye Zhao said casually.
Although seeing Zhang Rang and others can also achieve the effect, or even more effective, but firstly, it is not worth using the favors that have been contacted so hard over the years, and secondly, it will spread out in the future, and it is not good for his reputation.
"Lord, your mentor, will you also beat blindly?" Dian Wei remembered the skills that Ye Zhao had shown in the past, and his face was filled with anticipation, how powerful a person who could teach a disciple like Ye Zhao would be.
Ye Zhao said with a black line on his face: "The teacher is a great Confucian in the world, and his skills are not as good as the small path, although the teacher knows, but he is only rough, and my body has another inheritance of the skill of fighting." β
"Oh." When Dian Wei heard this, he suddenly lacked interest, what he was most annoying about on weekdays was to see those readers, in his impression, the readers were all bad stomachs, and they didn't pay for their lives by cheating the dead, even if they were the lord himself, but Ye Zhao just had an appetite for him, so these people would not deal with them if they could not deal with them, and if they could deal with them with their fists, they would never use their mouths.
The Han world is stormy, but in the place where the dragon qi of the Han Dynasty gathers, it is not possible to feel the panic and uneasiness brought by the troubled times, at a glance, and what you see along the way, it is like two worlds, pedestrians are crowded, cars and horses are like dragons, as if entering the prosperous world, the streets can be seen from time to time The soldiers of the forbidden army with distinct armor can be seen back and forth to inspect, the scholars who are rare to see on weekdays can be seen everywhere in Luoyang, gathering in groups of three or five, or commenting on current affairs on the street, or gathering in the restaurant to talk about the world, the whole city, There is a sense of comfort everywhere.
Ye Zhao didn't know where Cai's mansion was, plus after running for a day and a night, except for a small amount of water, the two of them had hardly eaten anything, since they had arrived in Luoyang, Ye Zhao was not in a hurry to go to Cai Yong immediately, and found a rather expensive restaurant to go in and prepare to eat something.
"This ...... Childe wants to eat? "The guys in the restaurant are not as difficult as the legend, in fact, most of the people who open the door to do business are friendly and make money, the bigger the faΓ§ade, the more attention is paid to etiquette, and they will never easily offend people, and although Ye Zhao and Dian Wei have been in the dust all the way, one is calm, with a sense of oppression in his gestures, and the other has a fierce and vicious face, and he is not a character to be messed with at first glance.
"Not bad." Ye Zhao walked forward naturally, without the slightest intention of staying.
"The small shop has recently opened a gambling shop, I don't know if the son is interested...... "The guy has sharp eyes, although Ye Zhao is dusty, but he is calm and calm, and he is obviously not a bad money.
"You still make a living in this restaurant?" Ye Zhao glanced at the guy in surprise, and asked with a casual smile, not noticing that Dian Wei's eyes were obviously brighter after hearing the gambling stack.
"Hey, the son doesn't know, now this is prevalent in Luoyang City, and the owner of my family is also a Chinese expert, so he simply opened a gambling crate in the village, which can be regarded as an entry."
"No, my son still has important things to do, so I'll leave after eating." Ye Zhao shook his head, he was not very interested in this kind of thing, if he was in business, he could think of a way, but now he didn't put his hand into this Luoyang City, and the main thing he was thinking about now was not here.
"Then please go up to the second floor." Seeing this, the guy didn't say anything more, and eagerly led Ye Zhao and the others to the second floor for dinner.
