Chapter 66: A Grim Situation
Xiangping City can be said to be a fairly large county town compared to the entire Youzhou, but the dilapidated city wall in front of you makes people feel emotional, and everyone's mood is different. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
At the end of the Han Dynasty, the people suffered deeply, especially in the border areas, where the Qiang, Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Wuheng never stopped attacking. Along the way, the city walls of many county towns are dilapidated, and the traces of Xianbei's invasion are vivid. ”
Looking at everyone's solemn expressions, Huo Yu rode out, looked around with his eyes, and then raised his gun in his right hand and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, I have waited all the way to this place for a long journey, and everyone has seen the scene in front of me, but you are disheartened?" ”
Soldiers, look at me, I look at you, no one dares to come forward and answer. Guo Jia looked indifferent at the moment, and when he saw that Zhang Fei was about to make a sound, he immediately waved his hand to stop it. The white dragon horse may have sensed the master's fighting spirit, and kept stepping on the ground with his forelimbs. Huo Yu tried his best to control the White Dragon Pony and then said loudly, "Who caused such a scene? ”
Everyone was silent again, however, a voice broke the silence, "Lord Yu, it's Xianbei." It was none other than Wang Jun, who Huo Yu had just recruited.
"Last year, Xianbei entered the country, broke my Liaodong several cities, slaughtered countless people, the original Taishou abandoned the city and fled, if it weren't for Liu Duwei to lead the people to resist, Liaodong is afraid that it would have been lost."
Huo Yu nodded with satisfaction at Wang Jun, and tried his best to appease Bailongju and said, "Xianbei has invaded and slaughtered my people like slaughtering pigs and dogs for many years!" Plunder my women and children for generations as slaves! Why are we here? In order to protect the territory and the people, for the century-old foundation of my Han family, for the eternal survival of my people, and the sons of the Han family will never be slaves! Yu Yousheng is willing to lead the army to sweep away the barbarians and protect my Han country, are you willing? ”
"I wish to sweep away the barbarians with the lord (general)!"
"I wish to sweep away the barbarians with the lord (general)!"
........
The shouts were earth-shattering, and they went straight to the sky! Everyone present was enthusiastic, Huo Yu could no longer appease the white dragon ju, so he simply ran along the team, and after a while, Huo Yu raised his gun and shouted: "Sweep away the barbarians, Han'er is not a slave!" ”。
The sound of response turned sideways to the sky, and even the Yellow Turban captives who followed were influenced to raise their hands and roar!
"The military heart is available!" Xun Yu naturally muttered to himself.
"Gongda is right, the whole family is dedicated to their own profits." Xi Zhicai added.
"In the past, I listened to the words of the princess, and the lord fooled Wang Yue, but today Jiaguanzhi, the lord's trick of fooling is very good!"
Hahahaha, everyone laughed heartily when they heard this. The originally low morale was pulled down by Huo Yu's move, and after running back and forth for two laps, the white dragon horse slowed down and drove Huo Yu towards Xiangping City.
Such a large formation has already alarmed the defenders in the city, and if it weren't for the banner of the Han army, I'm afraid the city gate would have been closed. Liu Ji led the guards to catch up with Huo Yu, when he saw a group of cavalry coming out of the city, and the leader had a white face, not like a person who practiced martial arts.
"Dare to ask, but General Pingbei, Liaodong Taishou, Xiangping Pavilion Marquis in person?" The leader asked aloud.
Huo Yu signaled that Liu Ji didn't need to be so nervous, rode forward and took out the edict from his chest and replied: "Yu is Your Majesty's personal seal of Liaodong Taishou, and the edict is here." ”
One of the guards turned over and dismounted, took the edict with both hands and handed it over. After reading the edict, the leader on the opposite side immediately turned over and dismounted and bowed: "Liu Zheng, the commander of Xiangping City, Liaodong County, visited Taishou, and it is his duty to check the edict to forgive Lord Taishou." ”
"Hahaha, how can Liu Duwei blame him for his due diligence, please hurry up!" Huo Yu dismounted and helped Liu Zheng to speak again: "Yu Chu came here, and he will rely on Liu Duwei in the future, and there are many people in the group, so it is better to settle in the advanced city and then discuss other things." ”
Liu Zheng promised, and then ordered someone to enter the city to prepare for the resettlement, and he followed Huo Yu as a guide, telling him what he knew.
After listening to Liu Zheng's introduction, Huo Yu frowned, the number of people in the county seat near the sea in Liaodong is slightly larger, and the county seat in the north is almost empty. There are a few people who are scattered in Xiangping City who are unwilling to leave, and for Huo Yu, who is used to seeing the excitement in Chen Kingdom, he has not adapted to it at once, because there are too few people in the city. However, most of the vacant houses can be used to temporarily house more than 50,000 people, which also saves a lot of work.
When he came to the Taishou Mansion, Huo Yu received the letter from the Taishou Seal, and ordered Xun Yu to inspect the treasury, and he was still very satisfied with Liu Zheng. Although there is not much left in the entire Xiangping Treasury, it is more than enough for the sparsely populated county.
As the saying goes, there are three fires for new officials to take office, Huo Yu has already made up his mind, and the most important thing at this time in the late Han Dynasty is corrupt officials and heroes, Huo Yu believes that this Xiangping official is not included, but at present, in addition to the military generals, a number of civil officials have already fled. The fire that had been brewing for a long time did not start.
After settling everything in the Taishou Mansion, Huo Yu ordered everyone to rest, and he sat quietly in the study and carefully recalled Liu Zheng's introduction. Now the population of Liaodong is really small compared with other counties in Youzhou, and there are only 80,000 people in 11 counties under its jurisdiction, with an average of less than 10,000 people in each county, and Xiangping has more than 10,000 people in charge of the city, and it cannot be compared with Chen County.
And now there are no big families in Xiangping, many families have moved inward, and the others are inconspicuous Jia Shang, Huo Yu calmed down a little, and carefully recalled the memories of his previous life in his mind, the name Liu Zheng is very unfamiliar, and it seems that there is no record in history.
Gongsun Du? Wait, if you remember that history records that Gongsun Du will only go to office in 189, I'm afraid he is still an official in Xuansu County at this moment! Liaodong, Liaodong, where are the heroes and heroes! Bingyuan? Tai Shi Ci? Hey! These two seem to have protected a person named Liu Zheng, so it turns out that it seems that they have discovered a talent buried by history. Thinking of this, Huo Yu's mood was opened, and everything was now developing in a favorable direction.
Back in the backyard, Huo Yu found that Yu'er and Zhang Ning had already rested, and after such a long time of running around, the two of them had cleared a lot, and they suddenly felt guilty, so they could only take the two to compensate for it in the future!
There was nothing to say all night, and on the second day, Huo Yu only woke up at noon, although Huo Yu's body was very strong, he couldn't withstand such a long journey. After finishing the meal, Huo Yu asked the guards to notify everyone to come to the meeting. At the beginning of his tenure, many things need to be dealt with, and everyone's official positions should be decided. Among the people who came to Liaodong with Huo Yu, only a few were from Youzhou, so how to warm up for the winter is the primary problem to be solved at present.
