The 100,000 troops of the Western Army, flying flags, rolling carriages and horses, marched towards Tokyo.

Chu Tianya, together with his 100,000 Jin army brothers and countless fleeing Hedong people, "successfully" stayed in Luoyang.

If you have to use a few words to describe Luoyang, Chu Tianya can only think of these eight words now - Huaxia Holy Land, Peony Flower Capital.

The former is the impression of Luoyang in his mind, and the latter is his first feeling after stepping into Luoyang County.

In the Song Dynasty, the social atmosphere was mainly gentle and leisurely. In the pre-Tang Dynasty, Luoyang Guanzhong, which was deeply influenced by the Guanlong military gate valve and had a strong wind, has now become a famous place in the world of the Great Song Dynasty, and the willows are still full of flowers. There are countless towers and palaces and ancient scenic spots, coupled with the gorgeous poetry and writing of Luoshui, a piece of imperial foundation has become a feminine and gentle "peony flower capital".

The arrival of Chu Tianya was like a rough and unrestrained wild man breaking into a courtyard where only women lived in yin and yang. Some people are panicked, some people gnash their teeth, and some people celebrate with joy.

Luoyang's old life mood and pattern were all disrupted in an instant.

Luoyang's original county guards, generals and other cadres and generals all lost power. At the beginning, Meng De captured the Tiger Prison Pass in a fit of rage, if it weren't for the purpose of appeasing people's hearts, none of these people would be left, and they would all die.

Not to mention the brothers, there is such a tacit understanding. Many people can't figure it out, Meng De's daring to "forcibly tackle key problems" is tantamount to offending everyone in Luoyang, including a number of nobles and old forces here, killing a lot and arresting and jailing even more. The first thing Chu Tianya did after entering Luoyang was to release all these people who had been arrested, and call them to the front one by one to appease them - how could these people who died nine times not be grateful?

Chu Tianya also gave them a favor, among these people who originally had official positions, they still gave them an idle position to hang on; It is the colonel's who is still admitted to the army and given the same official position, and the principle of voluntariness is not compulsory. As for some other local tyrants and well-known gentlemen, they all appeased them one by one and promised to protect their lives and property.

At this time, anyone with a little brain suddenly realized that Meng De was evil first, and Chu Tianya was gracious later. This Yang, a punishment, and a reward made Chu Tianya quickly win a large number of people's hearts in Luoyang.

Hit first and then touch, grab and then return - this kind of clumsy trick often appears when adults tease children, but the superior uses it on the people, and it is also tried and tested. This simple and obvious trick contains profound power techniques. It's easy to say, but not everyone can use it.

Looking at the officials, generals and gentry who were grateful to Dade, Chu Tianya and Meng De looked at each other and smiled.

Especially in such troubled times, you first show the strength of being extremely strong enough to control the life and death of others, and then give small favors to people, and the rest is just waiting to enjoy their allegiance and worship!

Luoyang has been the hub of the Central Plains Dynasty since the Sui Dynasty, and it is still the case in the Great Song Dynasty. Grain taxes and products from various places were first transferred to Luoyang through the Sui-Tang Grand Canal, and then to Bianliang, Tokyo. Therefore, it is difficult for Luoyang to be poor.

Chu Tianya sent someone to count the treasury of Luojun Mansion, and found that there were a large number of rusty copper coins and moldy cloth, and he didn't know how many years it had been sealed here, and there were probably relics from the previous dynasty in it. As for the official granary, there is a lot of food, and the rats here are even fatter than cats.

Although the 100,000 Jin army was a little distressed about the abandoned Qingyun Fort and Qixingzhai, but seeing the bright flowers and countless money and food in front of them, this sadness was not worth mentioning.

Chu Tianya asked Meng De to be in charge of the granary of the treasury. It's like putting the money of the whole of Luoyang into the left pocket, and putting all the grain and grass into the right pocket.

Because of the feat of attacking the Tiger Prison Pass, Meng De is now completely the image of a black-faced Yan Jun in Luojun. When the Jin army first arrived, the local tyrants and nobles of Luojun were terrified from the bottom of their hearts, and their livers were trembling when they fell asleep, for fear that this group of strongmen who got up and thundered their horses would rush into their homes in the middle of the night, robbing money, people, and food. As soon as I heard that it was Meng De's ruthless man who was now in charge of the money and grain of the Luojun Mansion, the local rich families in Luojun all felt that the chrysanthemums were tight - what are you waiting for, hurry up and pay respect! It's not good, people knock on the door, and the chickens and dogs don't stay!

Therefore, there is no need for Chu Tianya to issue any "grain requisition notice", Guanzhong Luo County is from the county seat to the countryside, but where there are still so many households with grain in the warehouse, there is no one who dares to hide it, so hurry up and send some filial piety to the Jin army but ask for preservation.

Rao is like this, Meng De still killed a lot of people.

The Jin army occupied Luojun, which sounded good as "the strategic transfer of soldiers and horses in the east of the river in the autumn of war", which is not good to say - in the words of some hateful people, it is better than the "Dong Zhuo chaos in Jinghua" back then, it was the robbers who killed Luoyang and occupied the mountain as the king.

The old rules and order have all been broken, and naturally some people are unwilling to lose the interests at hand. There are some people who are bold enough to flee or resist, and there are also some pedantic people who are demagogic and demagoguery. Mengde's approach is to kill.

Innovation is not a dinner party, and it is impossible to be immortal. Meng De sang the black face to the fullest, Chu Tianya opened his eyes and closed his eyes most of the time, and occasionally appeared at the right time to sing a white face to pardon or rescue one or two people.

In this way, Meng Dewei Zhenluo County has become a black-faced Yan Jun who can stop children's night crying, and Chu Tianya has become an omnipotent Guanyin Bodhisattva who saves suffering and rescues. Even within the Jin army, there are some people who "have a lot of criticism" of Meng De, thinking that some of his behaviors have gone too far, which has affected the image of the Jin army.

What they don't understand is that 80% of the image of the Jin army comes from the image of Chu Tianya, the lord, in the hearts of the people. Meng De went too far, and there was no harm at all. Moreover, tens of millions of people said that Meng De was not in front of Chu Tianya, and it would never change Chu Tianya's gratitude and trust in Meng De.

This is the tacit understanding and trust between Meng De and Chu Tianya, which cannot be replaced or changed by anyone.

The original official team of Luojun went to seven or eight out of ten, and Zhang Xiaochun took the original Taiyuan officials to gradually take over the affairs of the county's government. Soon, Chu Tianya, Zhang Xiaochun and others combined, following the example of the Hedong Xuanfu Division, set up a "Henan Xuanfu Division" on their own, and Chu Tianya appointed himself as the Xuanfu envoy - proclaiming Weiling, Fusui border, and commanding the generals and supervising the army, becoming the highest military and political governor of Luojun. Zhang Xiaochun, Yao Gu and the major leaders of the Jin army all held civil and military positions in the Xuanfu Division.

In fact, it is equivalent to a self-appointed festival envoy. Everyone knows in their hearts that in the current Luojun, where the ban and law of the imperial court besieged by the Jin soldiers still work, only the regulations set by Chu Tianya will work. Chu Tianya is already the uncrowned king of Luojun, and only the layer of window paper that is "loyal to the Great Song" has not been pierced.

There were some timid and brainless local squires, for the purpose of currying favor with Chu Tianya, and advised him to "immediately become king" and "stay in the palace".

Chu Tianya needed such a few substitutes for the dead to "correct his name", and these people paid the price for their ignorance of current affairs - parades and beheaded in the city.

At the same time, Chu Tianya sent people to guard the palace and not allow anyone to enter without permission, and he only lived in the yamen mansion of the Xuanfu Division or the army's tent, and did not make any trespassing. At the same time, he stepped up the rest of the soldiers and horses, the maintenance of armor, and sent troops, recruited people to build fortifications along the Yellow River, strictly armed, day and night training soldiers and horses, the river bank horses neighed endlessly, and the lights were always bright.

The Jin army and the people, who fled thousands of miles, got a few days of rare time to recuperate. At this time, not long after leaving, the Western Army sent people back to urge grain and grass. Chu Tianya understood what they meant very well, and he begged these people to put it bluntly, but he still couldn't trust Chu Tianya. Among them, there may also be the meaning of the court and the official family.

So, Chu Tianya was generous - let Yao Gu lead 20,000 Taiyuan officials and troops to escort 100,000 stone grain and grass to Tokyo to help. and brought Chu Tianya's letter to the official family, swearing allegiance to defend Luoyang and not letting Zong Hannan take the next step.

Although 20,000 soldiers and horses are a little less, for the Tokyo Imperial Court, which is indiscriminately treated by the sick enemy, it is tantamount to grabbing an extra life-saving straw after falling into the water, at least it is a powerful psychological comfort.

At this time, the Great Song Dynasty kings and rebels from all over the country rushed to King Qin in Tokyo. In the hinterland of Tokyo, most of Zongwang's men and horses crossed the Yellow River one after another, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Song and Jin countries gathered here. The battlefield of this epic battle is still inevitably transferred from Zhending and Taiyuan to the hinterland of the Central Plains.

Seeing this scene in front of him, Chu Tianya could only sigh: The wheel of history is too powerful, and although I tried my best, I still did not completely change his trajectory. The only thing to be thankful for is that I took 100,000 brothers and hundreds of people to successfully escape, leaving the place of death in Taiyuan, and taking root in Luojun to have a chance to breathe.

Compared with being precarious by the enemy in Taiyuan, in Luoyang, at least you can protect yourself by the mountains and dangers. No matter how ruthless the cavalry of the Jin Kingdom was, they could not swim in the turbulent Yellow River and climb the steep Tiger Pass.

Advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended, the mountain pass is dangerous and fertile for thousands of miles, and the money and grain are in hand and the foundation is solid, which is the advantage of Luoyang compared with Taiyuan.

In the past, although the 100,000 righteous army was brave, they could only occupy cottages like Qingyun Fort and Taihang Mountain, and no matter how much they pretended to pretend, they could not wash away the thin bones of the bandit Xiangma; Now in Luoyang, there are cities and people, as if it is a country of its own. Everyone in the 100,000 Jin army has a sense of steadfastness and preservation that they have never had before-in the past, they were all rangers who ate and waited for death, but now they really have the idea of family and country.

The idea of family and country, a simple four words, people who used to live in Luojun or Taiyuan City every day may not know its meaning. But for the 100,000 Jin army, these four words are no less than those who have cultivated immortals and Taoists have finally refined gold and achieved positive results - finally from a thief ringing a horse to a normal person with a name and a share!

As a result, the Jin army, which had just "fled thousands of miles", not only did not become a mass of scattered sand, but also had unprecedented cohesion, and its morale and fighting spirit exploded together!

Along the Yellow River, the murderous spirit is soaring.

The source of this qiē is the thing that cannot be seen or touched—the idea of home and country.
