Chapter 9: Li Yi Comes to Ask for Help
The whole of Yuzhou was in a state of erosion, the countryside was almost swept away by the Yellow Turban Army, and even those stockades or dock forts were looted. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoMany local tyrants and small families who dared to resist the Yellow Turban Army were directly wiped out, and no women and children were left.
Being a pawn for too long, without any scruples, Bocai and they burst out with the greatest destructive power.
The most pleasing thing is that the ancestral tomb and ancestral hall of the Runan Yuan family in Pingyu's hometown were directly destroyed by Bocai. Of course, this is the saddest thing for Li Yu, and for Yuan Valve and his people.
It's just that if it was replaced by Li Yu, he wouldn't do that, and he would politely take a detour, and then kill all the families in Yuzhou except for Yuan Valve. In this way, Yuan Valve didn't fall into the crotch of his pants in the mud, and suddenly confirmed the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes?
Now Bo Cai is good, heartache is heartache, but it made Yuan Valve pick it out in this Yellow Turban Rebellion, and afterwards I was afraid that Liu Hong would not be able to settle accounts with Yuan Valve.
Some refugees from the north have fled here, and seeing that the Yellow Turban Army has already crossed the border, they should not turn around and come back. A few bold ones stayed. The local families just didn't have the manpower to rebuild their homes, so they naturally took in these refugees.
Nowadays, Yuzhou is full of idle land, many land owners have been wiped out, and there seems to be no other heirs to inherit these lands, so the government has to take out this part of the land that no one has bought to resettle these refugees in order to quickly resume production and ensure this year's autumn harvest.
The best of those lands were naturally purchased in the hands of the few surviving beings such as Yuan Valve. There are also people recruited to produce, but since there is idle land everywhere, whoever wants to be a tenant farmer is better to find a few pieces of land to cultivate by themselves, and the taxes are basically their own.
At this moment, Yuan Valve and they can be regarded as experiencing the feeling of 'losing people in the land, and losing both people and land'. It should be known that there is a provision in the Han law that the purchased land will not be cultivated for a certain number of years, and the government even has the right to take back the land. The land in the Central Plains is very expensive, and this other family bought it and abandoned it, and if it is spread out, not to mention that the government will not tolerate it, the entire Han Dynasty and all classes at all levels will not forgive.
The key is that it is now the middle of the fourth month of the lunar calendar, which has exceeded the best time for cultivation, and even if the farmland is now sorted out for cultivation, I am afraid that the autumn harvest is destined to reduce the yield.
While everyone was worried about this, Li Yu's troops suddenly arrived. Seriously, when they found out that an army was coming, many people were shocked, and many even thought that the Yellow Turban Thieves had returned!
Later, when I got closer, I realized that it was the army of the Han Dynasty who was going north to rescue Luoyang, so I was relieved. It's just that this soldier and bandit are not separated, and some of the soldiers are even more terrible by the bandits, and the people are watching the arrival of this army with anxiety, and they don't know what kind of impact their arrival will have on them.
Many of them hid what was left, and all the ladies messed up their hair and smeared the bottom of the pot on their faces, in order to make themselves look sloppy and ugly, so as not to make the ruffians look like robbers.
"Attention folks! We are the army of the autonomous region, and this time I am going north to King Qin, passing by your land, and I don't want to disturb you. Therefore, in order to avoid unnecessary influences, please do not come out casually at home!
In addition, my general took into account that you have suffered this year, and have missed the best spring ploughing season, so as long as the people who fled over, they can be distributed to some high-yield crops, and now planted, the autumn harvest can also have a good harvest, and the specific planting party *** has special people to stay to teach you, and the people in need can come to receive! The scouts shouted one after another.
For many people, the Maisons are promoting the toxicity of high-yielding crops, so much so that many of them are really worried. After all, what has been grown so hard is actually poisonous, isn't that worse than a reduction in production?
Fortunately, some people do have a bit of a brain, if the high-yield crops provided by this autonomous region are really poisonous, then why should others plant them? Is it better to starve and poison all the people in the autonomous region? Anyway, if someone teaches how to plant, it should still be able to be eaten!
"Are there enough agricultural personnel? Do you need to continue mobilizing manpower? Li Yu looked at Ouyang Xing, who was with the army, and this time he went north to continue to popularize high-yield crops, so he needed specialized agricultural talents to popularize them. As the commander of the army, it was naturally impossible for him to deal with this matter personally, so he brought Ouyang Xing over and was specifically responsible for this matter.
It can be regarded as giving him something to do, and if it is done well, it can be regarded as a bit of hard work, so it is more convenient to arrange further. In the past, it was a mistake, let's not talk about it, just thinking that Ouyang Xing is his devout person, even if it is favoritism?!
"This time, I brought three hundred agricultural talents, and it was enough to train them for three days, and it would not delay the advance time of the army, and it would not even be okay for them to go north later for a round!" Ouyang Xing replied.
"Be careful, although there is no main force of the Yellow Turban Army here, there are also some ruffians and hooligans who take advantage of the chaos." Li Yu warned that what he was worried about was that the family took a fancy to these agricultural talents and abducted them through ulterior means.
"These people don't know much about it, so they grow these three high-yielding crops. Besides, most of them are from the former mountain people, and they may not be as strong as the mountains and forests on the flat land, but they also have the strength to fight, and if they don't escape into the mountains and forests, others don't want to catch them so easily! Ouyang Xing patted his chest and assured that he had thought of this situation a long time ago, so almost all of the more than 300 agricultural talents had been specially selected.
"That's good, no matter what, we must ensure the safety of the people of the autonomous region!" Li Yu nodded and said.
"Whoa!" Ouyang Xing replied firmly, he didn't intend to continue to live up to Li Yu's trust.
In a very short period of time, Li Yu continued to go north, and it took two and a half days from Xincai to Pingyu, and more than a day from Pingyu to Shangcai.
It is said that Zhen Yi is Shang Cai Ling, so Li Yu originally planned to visit, who knew that Zhen Yi heard that the Jizhou Yellow Turban had confiscated their Zhen Chamber of Commerce and robbed all the goods and money, and immediately worried about his wife and children at home, and he had already hung up the seal.
For the Zhen family, it is naturally a good thing to have an official in the family, if all the family members except Zhen Yi do not exist, then it is not interesting to be this official. Besides, the Zhen family originally started in business, and the Chamber of Commerce is the foundation on which they rely for development, and the Chamber of Commerce is not there, and he Zhen Yi has nothing worthy of others' attention.
I wanted to meet Zhen Yi, and even meet the legendary Zhen daughters, but unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to see them, so Li Yu could only continue to move forward.
At this time, about 250 miles west is Wan County, the seat of Nanyang County, and it is also where Zhang Mancheng and them are now, but according to the latest intelligence, Zhang Mancheng's troops have been drawn to Luyang County, preparing to attack Luoyang in the north.
However, Zhao Ci, who went north at about the same time as Li Yu, has now settled in Wancheng to threaten Jingzhou and Yuzhou, so that they do not dare to go north to support easily.
Li Yu's initial arrangement was to attack Luyang directly through Ye County, and finally engage Zhang Mancheng with a short army. But he didn't want to open yet, but a horse came to the tent to ask for a meeting, saying that it was a messenger sent by Zhu Jun.
"Why do you have the Nine Heavens Dragon Soul? Who are you? As soon as he came out of the tent, he saw Li Wen confronting him, and the momentum was surging.
"Why do you have the Thunder Thunder Green Dragon Halberd? If so, who? The other party also looked at Li Wen menacingly.
"Longxi Li Yi (Li Wen)...... Haha, it turned out to be my own brother! The two shouted, and immediately reacted, and immediately hugged each other.
"What's going on? What is the so-called coming? Li Yu probably understood, but he still stepped forward and asked.
"This is Li Yu and Li Riyao, the head of the autonomous region?" Hearing this, the young general hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
"If there is no other Li Riyao, it is so-and-so!" Li Yu nodded and replied.
"Brother Li Yi, I've seen my brother! A certain is Li Yi, a disciple of the Li family in Longxi, and now he is serving as a military marquis under Zhu Jun, and he has heard the name of his brother for a long time, and has not been able to meet, and he is deeply regretful, and now he can finally see each other, and he is extremely happy in his heart! "Although Li Yi was born as a military general, he is polite in his every move now, and he is worthy of being a disciple cultivated by the gate valve.
"It turned out to be my own brother, but I don't need to be so polite! Come over this time, but there was an accident on Zhu Jun's side? Li Yu nodded when he heard this, and stepped forward to say something cordially, and then he got to the point.
"Exactly! A day ago, Nan Zhonglang arrived at Yingyin with Zhu Jun, but he happened to be in close contact with the Bocai Army. After about half a day of fighting, we were defeated and retreated. Zhu Jun has retreated to Changshe County and asked Huangfu Song for help, but Huangfu Song wants to deal with the Yellow Turbans in Yanzhou, Xuzhou and Qingzhou at the same time, how can he divide his troops to support? Knowing that the autonomous region had sent someone north to King Qin, he sent the former Vader to ask for help! When Li Yi heard this, he immediately changed to a businesslike attitude and asked.
"Support is not a problem, but now Zhang Mancheng's troops are approaching Luyang, and they will soon go north to attack Luoyang. Now that we are supporting, others have broken through Luoyang, isn't this putting the cart before the horse? Li Yu put forward his opinion.
Zhu Jun didn't have Momen's help, and the intelligence couldn't keep up, so he naturally didn't know the news that Zhang Mancheng was about to go north, and Li Yi couldn't have known. Hearing this, he was also taken aback, if this Luoyang was captured, then basically the courtiers of the three dukes inside, including the emperor, would not be spared, and then they would directly change the dynasty.
At that time, even if Zhu Jun and the others work hard to defeat the Yellow Turban Army, what's the point?
"Is that true?" Li Yi still needs further confirmation in the end.
"Of course it's true, not only Zhang Mancheng's troops have already gone to Luyang County, but even Zhao Ci, who raised troops on the Jiangxia side, has now entered Wanxian County, forcing us and other rear at any time, and even threatening Jingzhou and Yuzhou!" Li Yu doesn't mind adding to it.
"Then we have to support Zhu Jun, otherwise the clan brother's army will go north to support, if Zhao Ci goes north to attack Zhang Mancheng's troops, wouldn't it be dangerous? On the contrary, if the Bocai Department is eliminated, then Zhu Jun's department can take advantage of the situation to attack the Zhao Ci department in Wanxian County, so that the clan brothers can go north to attack Zhang Mancheng with peace of mind, and even only need to drag the other party's pace, then Zhu Jun can continue to go north to support after eliminating Zhao Ci's department! But he didn't expect Li Yi to think more, and directly encouraged Li Yu to go north to support Zhu Jun, instead of going to Luyang to attack Zhang Mancheng.
Li Yu didn't say anything, just looked at Cheng Yu not far away, who nodded, indicating that the matter was feasible.
It's no nonsense, so he nodded directly and said: "In this way, I will go north to the Changshe on the same day, so that Zhu Jun can prepare!" ”
"Whoa!" Li Yi nodded yes, but he was about to turn around and leave.
"It's getting late now, and it's not safe to travel overnight, so why don't you stay and rest for one night before you go? It just so happens that everyone hasn't met yet, so it's time to talk! Seeing this, Li Wen proposed.
"It's okay, but I'm going to bother my brother!" Li Yi hesitated a little when he heard this, then nodded in response.
"Haha, I'll wait for the three brothers tonight, we want to get together!" Li Yu laughed. (To be continued.) )
