It is now August 15 of the first year of Han Guanghe, and after leaving Qian County, Liu Tai led 3,000 guards all the way to Chenliu to complete his last stop in the Central Plains.

In recent years, the people of the Han Dynasty can be said to have suffered from wind and frost, and the continuous catastrophes have caused the people of Li to live in poverty, countless fields have been wasted, and they have left their hometowns.

"Hey, Gongzi can let Zhong come..."Looking at the bustling refugees in front of him, Huang Zhong stepped forward to dissuade Liu Tai, who was giving rice porridge, and said helplessly.

Liu Tai shook his head stubbornly, with a deep confusion on his face, and said with a sigh: "Hansheng get out of the way, Tai has his own measure." ”

In less than a day, Liu Tai had given porridge three times, but the refugees were still boundless, tens of thousands of refugees were piled up under Chen Liucheng, but Chen Liu, as a county town, closed the four gates, not allowing a single refugee to enter the county town.

"My lord, the big families in the city have just gathered in the big tent, saying that the food is limited, and it needs to rise by 20% before it can be sold to the lord again." I saw Xun You squeeze through the crowded refugee stream helplessly and shouted at Liu Tai.

"What?" Liu Tai looked furious, but calmed down in an instant, looked at Xun You with a blank face and said, "Okay, good, give!" Give it to them!! ”

It's not that Liu Tai doesn't want to find trouble, but these big clans, one by one, have an inextricable relationship with the court, and now that he has just started his career, if he is against the men and scholars who originally supported him in the court, there will be no good fruit to eat.

Liu Yan's vein is also one of the gate valves in the late Han Dynasty, and if it weren't for the full support of the gate valve vein, Liu Tai would have been difficult to take office if he wanted to take office.

"Lord Liu, it's us who dragged you down."

"Yes, these corrupt officials, powerful people, know how to exploit us..."

"The adults saved us for a while, but we can't save our lives, and sooner or later we will starve to death."

The chaotic homeless people heard the conversation between Liu Tai and Xun You, and shouted angrily one by one.

"Didn't Lord Liu go north to fight the enemy, anyway, we are also homeless, so it is better to go north with Lord Liu...."A middle-aged man who was so hungry that he was only skinny and bones was left shouted.

"Yes, go north with the adults, I'll go..."

"I'll go too, Lord Liu, let's take us together...."

Liu Tai saw the voices of the displaced people discussing one after another, and heard that everyone was willing to go north with him, and said loudly with a wry smile: "Everyone be quiet, be quiet." ”

After a while, the people quieted down, quietly looking at Liu Tai, and their eyes looked at Liu Tai with a hint of longing.

Seeing that the people's expectations of themselves were so great, Liu Tai really couldn't harden his heart and refused, and shouted: "This is going north, the road is far away, if you really want to go with Tai, you can go to the big tent to register and leave your name..."

"Oh...."Many people cheered, and a smile finally hung on their originally dry and dull faces, although it was far away from the north, at least there was a hope, right?

"My lord, no." Xun You on the side persuaded loudly: "There are no less than 100,000 displaced people in the Chenliu area, plus there is already a flood in Jizhou, and when the time comes, they will all keep up with the team, and our money and food will not be able to support so many people." ”

Liu Tai opened his mouth, looked at the people who heard Xun You's words, and looked at Liu Tai with a longing look, Liu Tai shook his head with a wry smile, waved his hand and said: "The boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, go down and order, the people who are willing to go north with Thailand will register and make a book, select hardcover people, and along the way, go into the mountains and forests in batches to hunt and pick fruits, hoping to stick to Wei County." ”

Seeing that Liu Tai had made a decision, Xun You, who was a strategist, could only nod helplessly, and walked to the military tent outside the city with a team of people, ready to register for the people.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, for your kindness in rebuilding..."Hearing Liu Tai's command, the surrounding people shouted gratitude, bowed to Liu Tai, and some old men were full of old tears, very sad.

"Let's all get up, all get up, everyone line up, those who haven't eaten rice porridge come up and line up, let those who eat let go first." Liu Tai stepped forward with a look of regret and helped up the people who fell to the ground and said.

Half a day later, the guards led by Huang Zhong selected more than 12,000 men who looked relatively strong among the displaced people, came to Liu Tai's big tent, and shouted to Liu Tai, who was sitting on the couch and thinking: "Lord, Zhong has selected 12,600 strong men, I don't know what else the lord commands." ”

Liu Tai glanced at Huang Zhong, who was in the dust, nodded and said: "Distribute the weapons and bows and arrows that Xun Yu collected in the city, except for the Liu family's guards, the Jinyi Guard and the temporarily organized guards, with 3,000 people, are divided into five parts, and they are hunting and fishing in batches in the mountains, forests, lakes and waters going to the north to prepare for military supplies. ”

"Yes, my lord." Huang Zhong bowed to Liu Tai, then bowed back and walked out of the big tent.

Xiao Guo Jia, who was sitting next to Liu Tai, waited for Huang Zhong to withdraw from the big tent, and asked out loud: "Brother Tai, will these homeless people drag their families to the north with their brothers to go to Northern Xinjiang, will they arouse the suspicion of the imperial court?" ”

Although Guo Jia is small, he is superior in strategy, although he is not as good as Xun You and others in the overall situation, but he is not much worse.

"Huh?" Liu Tai glanced at Guo Jia in surprise, nodded, sighed and said: "Even if you are suspicious, what if Tai is a move to save the people, standing above morality, love to say, let them go, a group of corrupt and faint officials." ”

"Report, lord, a team of five hundred rangers in front of you has come to serve the lord." Xu Hai, who had been promoted to commander, ran into the account and said to Liu Tai.

"Huh? Ranger? Liu Tai frowned, then stood up, walked out of the tent with Guo Jia, and ordered: "Take Tai to have a look." ”

"Yes, my lord." Xu Hai answered the order, got up and took Liu Tai to the place where the rangers gathered.

Not long after, Liu Tai came to the camp not far from the gate, and sure enough, he saw a group of strong men holding horses, waiting for Liu Tai to come, and the young general Xu Chu was leading hundreds of brocade guards to confront the rangers.

"Meet the lord..."Seeing Liu Tai coming, the brocade guards fell to the ground one by one and shouted.

"Get up." Liu Tai waved his hand casually and said, and then looked at the five hundred rangers surrounded by the homeless people outside the gate, only to see that the rangers took the lead with an eight-foot man with an extremely ugly face. ”

"Dian Wei?" Liu Tai exclaimed, originally a little suspicious, but after hearing Dian Wei's words, he was immediately overjoyed, helped Dian Wei up, and said with a happy face: "Okay, good, I finally found my evil." ”

Seeing Liu Tai's happy look, Dian Wei was a little confused, although he was the head of the heroes, but Dian Wei's family was poor since he was a child, his father died early, and he didn't know a few big characters, so naturally no one got a name for himself, seeing Liu Tai calling himself evil, he really couldn't think of having this nickname, and looked at Liu Tai with a depressed face and said: "Who is evil?" Could it be that an adult is referring to a certain family? ”
