The snow was falling, and the fighting was suspended.

In the east, the battle between Liu Bei and the Yuzhou army in Xuzhou also came to an end temporarily.

Luoyang's supplies were continuously transported to Yingchuan. In addition to the necessary food, there are also a large number of warm and light cotton clothes and coal for heating.

Liu Mang ordered someone to prepare cotton clothes and coal, and visited Xun Yue again.

In this era, cotton winter clothes and coal for heating are very luxurious pleasures.

Although the Yingchuan Xun clan is a famous family, they can't help but be surprised when they see such high-end luxury goods as cotton clothes and coal.

The officers and men of all units of the Luoyang Army wore soft winter coats filled with cotton, and warmed themselves with the charcoal fire that was surging from the flames, and the barracks were full of laughter.

In Yingbei, the officers and soldiers of Yuzhou, with good conditions, wear a few more single clothes; If the conditions are poor, you can only rely on a single coat to keep out the cold.

The soldiers of Yuzhou huddled in the cold barracks to avoid the wind and cold.

The Luoyang army occupied Yingdong and cut off the central passage of Yingchuan. The supply of the Yingbei Yuzhou army could only be transported by Nanyang.

Yang Hong, who was stationed in Nanyang, had a bad relationship with Hou Junji, and he was quite reluctant to transport supplies.

Supplies were insufficient and the morale of the troops was low.

Lunshi, Yangcheng, Yangzhai and other places, in the south, north and east, were all controlled by the Luoyang army.

In the spring of next year, Liu Mang will definitely launch a large-scale attack on Yingbei.

Hou Junji knew that with the current supplies and morale, he would definitely not be able to resist the morale of the Luoyang army.

The decisive battle has not yet begun, but Hou Junji knows very well that not to say that winning and turning the tables is self-preservation and extravagant hope......

With the report, Li Zhu came.

For Li Zhu, Hou Junji's feelings are very complicated.

Because of Li Zhu, Hou Junji was able to devote himself to Yuan Shu and became the commander of 100,000 generals.

It was also because of Li Zhu that Hou Junji stepped on the ship of Yuan Shu. And now it seems that Yuan Shu's ship is undoubtedly a thief ship!

came with Li Zhu, as well as Li Tianyan.

Li Tianyan's left calf bone was shattered by the domineering pet. Although the injury was not fatal, one leg was completely ruined.

However, Li Tianyan's true colors did not change, and as soon as he saw Hou Junji, he said: "Although I broke a leg, I can still charge into battle and kill those girls!" ”

How could Hou Junji be in the mood to listen to Li Tianyan's ruthlessness now, smiled bitterly, and ordered people to burn the wine.

Wine into the sorrow, the intestines are even more sorrowful.

Although the hot and spicy wine warmed the stomach, it could not eliminate the boredom of Hou Junji and Li Zhu.

The two could vaguely guess each other's thoughts, but they couldn't be sure, neither of them spoke first.

Li Tianyan has a short temperament and has no taboos. A few bottles of hot wine went down to the stomach, and there were many words.

Suddenly put the wine bottle on a few cases, Li Tianyan scolded: "Mother X, Lao Tzu must avenge this broken leg!" ”

Li Zhu sighed. "You, can you talk again at different times and occasions, in front of your subordinate soldiers, you don't leave your mouth all day long, and in front of General Hou, you must always be more restrained."

Li Tianyan only listened to Li Zhu's words, scooped up the hot wine again, and dried it in one gulp.

Hou Junji smiled helplessly. "I don't care. Lao Li is like this, he is bored in his heart, how can I not know. ”

When this sentence came to Li Tianyan's heart, the bandit was a wine bottle again, and roared: "I don't treat you as outsiders, I will say everything to you." was broken by my mother's X, my skills are not as good as others, I admit it! Go back and practice hard, kill your mother X, and make up for it. But, I'm sorry! ”

Li Zhu complained: "Can you be quieter?" ”

"Let him speak." Hou Junji scooped up wine for Li Tianyan.

Li Tianyan said: "It is said that our soldiers and horses are not less than those of the mother, so why can't we win?" ”

"What do you say?" Li Zhu asked rhetorically.

"If you want me to say, it's the incompetence of those mothers up there!"

Li Zhu hurriedly reached out to cover Li Tianyan's mouth, and shouted in a low voice: "Silence! Are you rebelling? ”

Li Tianyan argued unconvinced: "Am I wrong? ”

Hou Junji lowered his head and played with the wine bottle, but did not speak.

Li Tianyan said without scruples: "Anyway, I feel aggrieved!" You two treat me well, I do things, and I love to listen. Follow you, don't say that you have a broken leg, or you have lost your head, I will admit it! However, I lost a leg for the hard work of the gang of mothers X above, and I was unwilling! ”

Li Zhu observed Hou Junji's reaction with his spare eyes. "General Hou, he is a rough man, don't blame him."

Hou Junji shook his head indifferently.

"He, he injured his leg, he has been raising for a few months, and his liver is full of fire."

Hou Junji heard that Li Zhu had something to say, beckoned him to come with him, and led Li Tianyan to find a military prostitute.

Li Tianyan was good at wine and lustful, and followed his relatives.

Li Zhu covered the door and sat back down. It seems to say to himself: "Alas, the old words are not coarse......"

Hou Junji finally raised his head and stared at Li Zhu's eyes. "If you have something to say, say it clearly."

This time, it was Li Zhu's turn to play with the wine bottle and taste the implicit meaning of Hou Junji's words.

After a long time, Li Zhu also raised his head.

The two looked at each other for a moment, picked up the wine bottle together, touched it, and drank it all......

……

Yingdong is properly defended, with Wang Zhongsi, Yue Fei, Deng Zhi, etc. performing their duties, and Yingdong is worry-free.

After nearly half a year of the Yingchuan campaign, Liu Mang could not rest assured that he could not leave the imperial court, and led the Su Wei Department of Yang Zaixing, who favored Yang Zaixing, to return to Luoyang a year ago.

Since the return of the Son of Heaven, the imperial court has experienced several waves.

First, Hu Miao and others secretly conspired with Yuan Shu, and then Shi Sun Rui used Yuan Shao's power to force the palace.

These two times, although they both ended in Liu Mang's final victory, Liu Mang also realized that the changes in the imperial court caused great damage.

At worst, it will affect economic development and political stability, and at worst, it will shake the foundation of the Han court, which has not yet been stable.

After leaving Luoyang for nearly half a year, there were indeed some discordant voices in the imperial court.

The reason for the matter is still related to the tax reform implemented by Zhang Juzheng.

Zhang Juzheng promised that the tax reform will bear fruit in three years and be customized in five years.

Zhang Juzheng lived up to Liu Mang's expectations.

In less than two years, the pilot project has been completed in the state.

and state tax reform, which has encountered great resistance. And the state family, from the consideration of their own interests, tried their best to obstruct it.

Later, Liu Mang intervened, exchanged political interests, and the pilot of Qingzhang land and tax reform in the prefecture was successfully implemented.

The reform of the state was successful.

The proportion of taxes was more reasonable, and the income of the imperial court increased substantially, while the burden of the common people not only did not increase, but was reduced by an appropriate range.

If there is a decrease, there will be an increase.

After the reform, the annual taxes paid by the large families have increased to varying degrees.

The opposition of the Bingzhou family to the tax reform was resolved by Liu Mang.

However, during Liu Mang's campaign against Yingchuan, the voice of opposition to tax reform once again sounded in the Luoyang court.

The leader is still the representative of the family.

The family knows very well that after the completion of the state tax reform pilot, it will definitely be promoted. And the Si Li and other families, like the Bingzhou family, are about to face high taxes.

Without resistance, there is no reform.

Liu Mang is confident that he will solve this problem, but the first thing he has to face now is the battle with the Shouchun puppet Han court.

This battle is about the world.

Anything, make way for that. (To be continued.) )
