Chapter 370: Arriving in Changsha
On the official road to Linxiang, a large army surrounded a carriage and moved forward quickly.
Under the banner of "Chen", this army numbered about a thousand people.
The soldiers were divided into two parts, the front part was made up of foot soldiers, and the back two hundred men were archers with bows on their backs. It's just that whether it is a foot soldier or an archer, there is a Chu knife hanging from his waist.
These soldiers are all burly and different from ordinary people. Even weaker archers are more burly than the average person.
Their expressions were indifferent, exuding a cold murderous aura all the time.
This is an iron army, an iron army that wins every battle.
Broken army, the second battalion of the divine arm. Liu Feng's strongest army.
And the only person who is qualified to be surrounded by the soldiers of the second battalion is Liu Feng.
On the carriage, Liu Feng held the bamboo slip in his hand and sighed.
The above is an urgent report about Changsha. Five or six days ago, Liu Feng received a report from Xu Zheng. An order was immediately issued for Huo Jun to assist Xu Zheng in sending troops to control the price of grain in various parts of Changsha.
But Liu Feng's order has not yet been executed, and news has come from Changsha.
Because of the abnormal behavior of the powerful people in Changsha, some people killed people in anger. However, even if this is the case, there is no reason for Liu Feng to come in person.
The reason why Liu Feng came here was because a group of people attacked his uncle Liu Yu's Zhuangzi.
Liu Mi. Liu Feng is a person who is grateful from the bottom of his heart. At the beginning, he gave him a lot of help, and was even willing to go bankrupt and pay him gold.
Uncle. In this world, Liu Feng has two recognized uncles, one is Mi Zhu, and the other is Liu Mi. Liu Mi was robbed, and Liu Feng couldn't help but come.
In addition, there was another point, Liu Feng felt an unusual smell.
Raise the price of grain and oppose the government. There are so many heroes in Changsha, it is impossible for them to be all fools. Knowing that doing so would cause him to be angry.
Causing a lot of trouble to happen.
But those heroes still did it, and Liu Feng felt that something was wrong.
I remember that there was such an incident in history, and the protagonists of the incident were Cao Ying and Liu Ba.
During the Battle of Chibi, Cao Ying went south, and countless scholars followed Liu Bei south, but Liu Ba chose to go north to Cao Ying.
Cao Ying was surprised and delighted, and sealed Liu Ba. Then he sent Liu Ba south and entered Lingling, and ordered Liu Ba to control the four counties of Jingnan and prevent Liu Bei from sitting down.
Later, Cao Ying was defeated. Liu Ba lost support and was defeated by Liu Bei.
Because of this incident, Changsha, which was originally relatively stable, suddenly had this kind of thing, and Liu Feng had to suspect that Cao Ying's guy had already set his eyes on the four counties of Jingnan.
Cao Ying? Liu Feng was excited. If it was really Cao Ying's doing, then it meant that Cao Ying began to attach importance to him and attached great importance to him.
Cao Ying wanted to prevent him from seizing the four counties of Jingnan and continue to grow and develop.
This kind of attention did not make Liu Feng favored now, but it made Liu Feng full of energy.
Although he defeated Cao Ren, he also gave Cao Ying a trap. But Liu Feng never denied that Cao Ying was the biggest hero in the entire late Han Dynasty and the most capable.
In front of Cao Ying, Liu Bei and Sun Quan are all floating clouds.
And now it may be directly facing Cao Ying's plan, Liu Feng can't help but have some sense of expectation in his heart.
I was secretly thinking about it in my heart, and Linxiang City had already jumped into my eyes.
The city is different from the city that Liu Feng once saw.
It's taller and more majestic than before. Liu Feng could see at a glance that this city had been finely reinforced and heightened.
There was a flash of satisfaction in his eyes, the east of Changsha County is Luling County, where Tai Shici is entrenched.
That's why he put Huo Jun here, led Sima from other departments, and 5,000 soldiers and horses. And now looking at the situation in the city, Huo Jun and Xu Zheng did not live up to his expectations.
The whole Changsha is still relatively safe and reliable.
The army slowly approached Changsha, and Liu Feng also found a group of people standing outside the city gate.
Xu Zheng, Zhang Dao, and Zhou Shun and Changsha's officials, but they didn't see Huo Jun.
After arriving at the city gate, the army slowly stopped, and only Liu Feng's carriage was still slowly moving forward.
"Meet my lord." When the carriage approached the group, the group bowed down under the leadership of Xu Zheng.
"Excuse me." Liu Feng glanced down at everyone, and on Xu Zheng's face, he paused for a moment before skipping over. Then, he spoke.
Although Liu Feng's gaze only paused, Xu Zheng still felt it.
His heart trembled, and he felt even more guilty. The lord handed over the huge Changsha to him, which was reused and trusted, but now it is. Ay.
"No." I felt guilty, but Xu Zheng was still very general. did not show it, but led everyone to make a promise.
Originally, Liu Feng had some opinions about Xu Zheng, after all, the affairs in Changsha have developed so far, and Xu Zheng has a little responsibility. No courage.
But when he saw Xu Zheng, Liu Feng didn't blame him anymore.
The whole person lost weight three times. A pair of eyes were bloodshot, and a face was full of guilt.
Xu Zheng was originally born as a small official, and he was given the management of the entire Changsha County, which was to embarrass him. But Xu Zheng managed it well. So that Changsha stabilized. There is no merit and hard work.
Now when you encounter unexpected situations, some mistakes are also tolerable.
Liu Feng is not a harsh person.
"Go in and talk." Liu Feng said. Immediately, he turned his head and instructed Chen Dadao, who commanded the army: "Camp outside the city." ”
"No." Xu Zheng and Chen Da promised respectively. Immediately, Liu Feng's carriage and a group of officials present entered the city together.
The city is too guarded in the house, in the hall.
Liu Feng sat on the main seat, Kou Shui was responsible for standing behind Liu Feng, and Xu Zheng, Zhang Dao, and Zhou Shun sat down respectively. The rest of the petty officials who were not in the stream were all sent away by Liu Feng.
After sitting down, Liu Feng set his eyes on Zhou Shun, the henchman who was placed next to Huo Jun and served as his deputy.
"Where is Huo Jun?" Liu Feng asked.
"Huo Sima confronted the thief leader Wu Ba outside Mr. Liu's Zhuangzi in Luo County." Zhou Shun said respectfully.
"Wu Ba?" Liu Feng wondered.
The official document submitted by Xu Zheng was not detailed.
"Lord Qi, that Wu Ba Nai is a villager from a village near Luo County, and he is powerful. When a group of tyrants forced the people to sell their fields, Wu Ba refused. Na Haoqiang was so hateful that he sent for his wife and children to be killed. Wu Ba was angry, killed Haoqiang, and then attacked Mr. Liu's Zhuangzi. However, after capturing Zhuangzi, this Wu Ba did not hurt Mr. Liu. Instead, he led a group of thieves to confront Huo Sima. Zhou Shun explained.
The head of the thief does not kill, nor rob, nor flee. I'm afraid, I'm afraid. also knew that Liu Mi was his uncle, so he robbed Liu Mi and wanted to save his surname.
In other words, Liu Mi is safe for the time being.
"Hmm." Liu Feng's heart was relieved and nodded.
"My lord, how to deal with the thief leader, please decide." At this time, Xu Zheng raised his fist.
"My uncle is fine for the time being, so don't pay attention to him for now. The important thing now is to calm food prices. Liu Feng shook his head and said.
"How does the lord start to deal with Haoqiang?" Xu Zheng also enlightened at this time, and did not say anything to appease, but asked directly.
Liu Feng glanced at Xu Zheng and said, "After suffering a loss, I know that I will improve, and I will get you to Changsha in vain." ”
"Shame on the lord." Xu Zheng said even more guilty when he heard this.
"Now is not the time to say that." Liu Feng waved his hand, and then, sneered: "How to deal with Haoqiang?" Needless to say? Naturally, it is repression. ”
"You immediately send people to all parts of Changsha to invite those powerful people to come over and say that they are discussing the price of grain."
Liu Feng's cold eyes and cold words. made Xu Zheng's heart tremble, knowing that this time I was afraid that it would really be a river of blood.
Those heroes don't know how to advance or retreat.
"No." Although he sighed in his heart, Xu Zheng still did not hesitate.
Their Xu brothers have been following Liu Feng for a long time, and they absolutely support Liu Feng. No matter what kind of order Liu Feng gives, he will not hesitate to carry it out.
Xu Zheng's hunch was not wrong, Liu Feng was going to raise the butcher knife.
Liu Feng doesn't have a good impression of Haoqiang, especially greed, he doesn't know the so-called Haoqiang, those Haoqiang will only cause trouble in the place. It's like the three surnames of Jiangxia in the past.
Raising the price of food and causing unrest is a capital offense.
After this time, Liu Feng plans to eradicate those bad heroes in one fell swoop and stabilize Changsha.
As for the reason why Liu Feng asked Xu Zheng to send people to invite those heroes over, it was naturally to kill the first evil. Also, check to see if there is really Cao Ying's shadow.
However, there are dozens of counties in Changsha, and it will take some time to gather Haoqiang. After giving the order, Liu Feng sent Xu Zheng and Zhou Shun away. But Zhang Dao was left alone.
Zhang Dao is also a junior official, but he is a junior official in the army. There is some decisive aura on his body, and after training, he has a capable aura all over his body.
This time, Zhang Dao's performance surprised Liu Feng a little.
It was Zhang Dao who first proposed to Xu Zheng to purge and suppress it with iron-blooded means.
"What do you think of Xu Zhi?" Liu Feng asked Zhang Daodao.
"Xu is capable and sleek, maneuvering between the powerful and powerful, and guarding one place, which is very good." Zhang Dao replied softly.
Liu Feng stared at Zhang Dao's eyes and found that Zhang Dao's eyes were full of clarity. Nodding in satisfaction.
This time, Xu Zheng made a mistake. But Zhang Dao did not take the opportunity to fall into the well, but affirmed Xu Zheng's ability. That's very satisfying.
"In the next few months, follow Xu Zhi to do things, and when you have the opportunity, you will go to other places to do things, or the county guard." There was no hint, Liu Feng looked at Zhang Dao encouragingly, and said very directly.
Zhang Dao was shocked, suddenly raised his head, and looked at Liu Feng in shock.
Meeting Zhang Dao's gaze, Liu Feng nodded with a smile.
Seeing the affirmation in Liu Feng's eyes, Zhang Dao took a deep breath and bowed deeply: "Thank you, lord." ”
But he had already guessed some of Liu Feng's intentions. Go to another county, do a job, or a county guard? Wuling? Lingling? Or Gyeyang?
Zhang Dao only felt full of energy. At the same time, I was deeply glad that I followed Liu Feng south. If he still stays in Xinye, he is afraid that he will be a small official for the rest of his life.
How can there be such a scenery today.
