The church army returned triumphantly, and when they returned to Xiapi, they looked at the people of Xuzhou who were welcomed by the road. Luan Yi sighed in his heart: How simple is the pursuit of the people, as long as they give them a full meal and a continuation of their life, they will worship you as a god in their hearts.

Xu Huang, Jian Yong, and Sun Gan, who were standing in the prison car, slowly entered the city with the church army, and they also saw the scene of the people of the city gathering at the edge of the city to clap their hands and celebrate, and witnessed the gorgeously dressed gentry, carrying baskets full of eggs, constantly stuffing into the arms of the church guards.

"Brothers, hard work, hard work!" Even if the mouth is dry, people can't stop babbling.

"God will be mighty......"

Xu Huang, Jian Yong and Sun Qian looked at each other in amazement. I think that at the beginning, when they were in charge of Xuzhou, they had never seen the people so enthusiastic about them, Xu Huang went out of the city to suppress the bandits and returned triumphantly, and he never enjoyed such treatment!

Jian Yong shook the sky and cried out, "Oh my God! What's going on? Luan Yi has only been in Xuzhou for two months, and he can win the love of the people so much! ”

Jian Yong is right, Luan Yi does have a very high popularity in Xuzhou. It's just that these popular hearts are not accumulated overnight. Take the welcoming people on the street in front of them, among them, the earliest allegiance to Luan Yi should be those in Xuzhou, they have been influenced by the Holy Mother of God for a long time, in their eyes, Luan Yi is already the Holy Mother - the spokesperson of the Supreme God in the world, in their minds, Luan Yi's lofty status is irreplaceable.

In addition to the Catholics of Our Lady, it was the squire Fujia of Xuzhou who subsequently became dependent on Luan. At the end of the first year of the Shengyuan Dynasty, Luan Yi released the news in Xuzhou that he would purchase a large amount of grain and grass at a high price, inducing the rich squires in Xuzhou to stock up on grain. The price of grain in Xuzhou then rose all the way, forcing a group of rich squires to ride a tiger, so they could only sell grain and grass to Luan Yi, but exchanged for a large number of church banknotes - holy coupons.

As we all know, the paper money can only be exchanged for hard currency in the official county churches of the Church of Our Lady. In order not to make the holy vouchers in their hands become blank papers, the rich squires of Xuzhou looked forward to it day and night, thinking day and night, hoping that the Holy Religious Army would occupy Xuzhou as soon as possible, so that they could open the church as soon as possible and give them cash.

Luan Yi really didn't disappoint them, and when the soldiers and horses went south, they pulled several carts of copper coins from Qingzhou. Conquer a county seat, open a church first, and then settle the people. Whenever someone uses a holy coupon to exchange for cash, he will hand over the coupon with one hand and exchange it with the other for money.

Such a promise inadvertently left an excellent impression in the minds of the Xuzhou squires, and at the same time, the grain and grass trade in the first year of the Shengyuan Dynasty also made all the squires and rich people make a lot of money, and they all smiled. After taking Luan Yi's benefits, they naturally were grateful to Luan Yi and supported him greatly.

In addition to them, the last people to love Luan Yi are those ordinary people. They are not believers in the church, not only do they lack sufficient understanding of Luan Yi, but under the influence of Tao Qian and Liu Bei's two assassinations, they are affected by the negative public opinion about the Church of Our Lady of Mary fabricated by the government, and they have great resistance to the Church of Our Lady, and they always feel that Luan Yi is a cruel and unkind cult leader.

However, it turns out that 'hearing is false, seeing is believing'. Since the church army entered Xuzhou, there has been no offense against the people in Xuzhou, and the people have seen it in their eyes, and they have gradually changed their views on the Church of Our Lady.

Subsequently, Peixian, Langya, and Xiapi each opened Dacheng churches successively, giving up clothes and food for the poor people free of charge, and sending doctors to diagnose the sick free of charge, and at the same time, more than 100 stones of grain and grass were brought from Qingzhou, dumped at a low price of 40 Wen, and doubled the price of living in Xuzhou for a long time in just half a month.

Food prices have returned to normal, and there is hope for the people's lives. All of them are grateful for the great kindness of Our Lady and praise Luan Yirende.

Therefore, Luan Yi's prestige in Xuzhou was not established in just two months, as Jian Yong said, but the effect that was finally achieved under the dual influence of nature and man-made for several years.

Xu Huang sighed, "At the beginning, I said that it was better to surrender early than to fight, and if nothing else, just according to Luan Ziqi's wishes, we will not be opponents." Xianhe didn't listen, and he had to fight to the death. The result? Xuzhou was never saved, and even the eldest brother was killed and trapped! ”

"You ......" Jian Yong glared at Xu Huang angrily and scolded: "The crooked idea of luring the enemy is not something you have come up with. If you hadn't put Xuande in danger, how would he have died. Brother Xuande, you died so miserably! As soon as the words fell, he saw something flying from the corner of his eyes, and subconsciously turned his head sideways to dodge. "An egg smashed on the wooden fence of the prison cart. He glared angrily, and saw the gentleman take out another egg and throw it at him. Scolding while smashing, "Big-eared thief eagle dog, you also have today." Give back my father's life! It turned out that the father of the egg thrower was actually a grain gentry who was harmed by Liu Bei.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the gentry's actions immediately aroused the anger of other Xuzhou people. When Liu Bei was in power, they couldn't afford to buy clothes and food, and they suffered for more than half a year. Now all the old accounts have been counted on the prisoners in the prison car, and eggs, vegetable leaves, and stones are flying all over the sky. smashed Jian Yong, Sun Qian, and Xu Huang all over their heads.

Xu Chu saw that the situation was a little out of control, and hurriedly arranged for the guards to raise a big shield to cover the "hidden weapon" for the prisoners and pawns. It took a while to appease the people before they were able to persuade them to vent their anger.

At night, Jian Yong, Sun Qian, and Xu Huang squatted in the cell with their heads bowed and in a daze, like frosted eggplants, and no one would open their mouths to speak.

While pondering, I heard the door of the cell crack cracking. looked up, but saw Yu Jian coming to visit with a food box under the guidance of the prison guard.

Yu Ban thanked the prison guard, stepped into the prison door, put the food box on the ground, and took out the box full of big fish and meat, and placed it on the table upright. Finally, he took out a jar of fine wine, smiled and said to Jian Yong, Sun Qian, and Xu Huang: "Everyone, this is a fairy brew that has been stored for ten years!" It's a rare wine in the market, so come and try it. ”

"Yu Wenze!" Jian Yong gritted his teeth hatefully, "You are still Xuande's sworn brother, and at the moment of crisis, you don't say that you will fight to the death with Luan Ziqi, but you will turn your back on the enemy and join the enemy." Where is your conscience? Where do you put your loyalty? ”

Yu Ban didn't laugh angrily, "Xianhe is so stupid!" And I ask thee, what is thy loyalty? Jian Yong replied: "Doing your best to assist the lord is for loyalty; It is for the sake of righteousness to repay the Lord's kindness! This loyalty. On the other hand, if you turn your back on the Lord for glory, you will be ridiculed by the world. ”

Yu Ban argued: "What Xianhe said is also right or wrong, but loyalty to the Lord is a manifestation of loyalty. But have you forgotten what is said in "The Biography of Li Shiqi", "The king takes the people as the sky, and the people take food as the sky"? Whoever is the true Lord of the world, and all the peoples. Fang is in a big chaos today, and the princes everywhere are attacking and attacking, so that the people are not happy. All of you who claim to be loyal and righteous, first, you have wisdom and do not think about saving the people, but only want to repay Liu Bei alone, which is disloyal; 2. It is unjust to obtain money from the people's taxes and fees, and not to take the protection of the people as the first term. Such disloyalty and injustice, according to the forbidden view, although you are not deceiving the world and stealing your name, it is difficult to match the name of true loyalty, at most it can only be regarded as petty loyalty and small righteousness! ”

"You ......" Jian Yong's beard fluttered violently when he heard the words.

Yu Ban continued: "Fang Jin, the lord of my family, holds the sword of the Son of Heaven to attack and rebel everywhere, takes it as his mission to calm the world, and preaches the gospel of Our Lady and establishes the mission of saving the people. Keeping the world in mind and caring for the people of Li is the real loyalty and righteousness. Unlike you, it is like a ploughing ox tied to a fence, and it can't get around the one-third of an acre in front of you. ”

Jian Yong said angrily: "Okay, you Yu Wenze, I haven't seen such a clever tongue in a few days." I'm afraid these words were taught to you by Luan Ziqi! I already knew that you didn't have a good heart when you came to visit, but you came as a lobbyist for Luan Ziqi! ”

I have to say that Jian Yong guessed quite accurately, what Yu Banfang said just now was indeed heard in the process of Luan Yi's small talk. Yu Ban coughed lightly and said, "Xianhe thinks like this, he is spending the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." Fang Jin, my lord has countless elites under the ministers, military generals, and elites, let me ask Xianhe, is you stronger than Mao Jue, or is it better than the ghost Guo Jia? In my eyes, your talent is just a mediocre person, and you can't get into the eyes of the lord at all. Say something unashamed. People like you, the lord has a lot of grabs under the account, and he can't lick his face and come over to surrender. ”

Hearing this, Jian Yong was almost so angry that he turned his back on it, "Then what are you still doing here?" Get out of the way quickly and save yourself from humiliation. ”

"You're the one who brought shame on yourself!" Yu Ban glanced at Jian Yong angrily and said to Xu Huang: "This time I came to you not at the behest of the sect master, but because I forbid my own opinions. I hope to give you an opportunity to create a great cause, promote the decay of China, and follow Emperor Wu to rebuild the majesty of the country. Whether it is Dongyi, Nanban or Xifan, let every barbarian tremble when he hears the name of Huaxia; Whether it is Youzhou, Bingzhou or Liangzhou, let every Chinese person be proud of the name of the motherland. If you are willing to be the person who will be immortal and will be passed on a monument in a hundred years. Now that the opportunity is in front of you, you can decide for yourselves what to do. ”

Hearing these words, Xu Huang's heart was full of blood. Oh, yes! Isn't this exactly what my generation has always wanted! At this moment, he thought of Le Shi Yanran's horse aid, and thought of a series of great generals who opened up territory during the Emperor Wu period, such as Wei Qing and Huo Quai.

Xu Huang was excited, fell to the ground and choked up with tears and shouted: "Xu Huang is willing to serve the work of dogs and horses!" Sun Gan pondered for a moment, knelt down on one knee and said: "Sun Gan is willing to do his best to serve the country and ask for his life for the people!" ”

Hearing this, Yu Ban was overjoyed, and hurriedly got up to help the two of them, and said with a smile: "If the lord knew that the two generals abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, he would definitely be so excited that he couldn't sleep at night!" ”

Jian Yong saw Xu Huang and Sun Qian backlashing, pointed at their noses and scolded. "You, you! If Xuande has a spirit in the sky, he will hate you to the bone! ”

Xu Huang had already seen that Jian Yong was not pleasing to the eye, put Jian Yong to the ground with a punch, spat on his face, and scolded: "Ignorant rats, if you dare to shout again, you will be killed." ”

Yu Ban snorted coldly, "Don't give your face." You just wait to dig the canal and do coolies! ”
