Volume 7 Getaway Chapter 3 Fuyao (6 Lower)

"Buzz!" Suddenly, the officials began to whisper again. Li Xu is tolerant of his subordinates, and easily does not find fault with everyone's crimes. This is one of the charms of his personality and the weakness of his character. Because he doesn't like to be angry, he doesn't have too much fear when everyone talks about politics. Not only Cui Qian, Zhao Ziming, Shi Defang and others dared to speak their minds freely, but other officials were not afraid to say anything when it came to their vital interests.

Everyone supported Li Xu's new policy of selling officials, and also recognized that the General's Mansion granted land to raise troops and protect the territory as inevitable. However, taking the rice and grain from Hebei to help the Hedong people who came from afar is not happy. Although the two places are close to each other, the difference in folk customs is huge. Due to many historical, geographical and practical reasons such as cultural inheritance, topography and the mixing of Hu and Han, the people of Hebei can be described as bold as a whole. Yan Zhao has been a generous and sad person since ancient times, and the people of this land can stand up to the wind even in adversity, without fear. In comparison, the Hedong people, who are located in the west of Taihang Mountain and are surrounded by mountains and hills, seem to be a little childish. In particular, the Taiyuan traders who often travel between Hedong and Hebei give Hebei people the overall feeling that they are stingy, greedy and timid, and they really don't look like they are responsible.

Therefore, the heroes of the six counties can accept and tolerate the displaced people from the south. There is some rejection from the bottom of my heart towards my compatriots who have come from the west. Moreover, the six counties of Boling opened their doors to accept the people of Hedong, which is equivalent to indirectly cleaning up the mess for the Li family in Taiyuan. When the six counties were attacked, the Li family only sent one hundred and ten people to help, and in the end, they earned 3,000 children to leave. For these greedy guys, why should the Boling people have to help with righteousness?

Hearing a sound of doubt at the bottom, Li Xu did not rush to explain his thoughts to everyone. He first signaled everyone to be at ease, and then took out an official letter from the side of the handsome case and handed it to Yang Wenxuan with his own hands, "Zisi, you can read this letter to everyone." Be careful to pronounce the sender's name! ”

"Subordinate, subordinate respects the order of the general!" Yang Wenxuan, who didn't have a chance to participate in last night's plan, paused for a moment, and then quickly stepped forward and took the official letter from his own general.

The sender apparently had not read for a few years, and probably came from a military background, both of which can be inferred from the shelves of his handwriting. But Yang Wenxuan didn't have time to comment on the sender's stinky words, and as soon as his eyes made contact with the envelope, he was firmly attracted by the address written on the outside of the official letter.

The official letter he held in his hand was from Bairen County, which was close to Junozawa, and was a famous poor place where birds don't. At this moment, the place has fallen into the hands of Dou Jiande. The newly appointed county order, that is, the writer of this letter, is called Cheng Mingzhen, who was just a small thief a few years ago, and has been following Zhang Jincheng to mess around. Zhang Jin said that after his death, he took people to take refuge in Dou Jiande, because he was cunning and resourceful in battle, and was nicknamed the nine-headed Jiao by the heroes of the green forest.

Why did this man-eating Jiao change his career to become a county order, and the officials of Boling did not know, but everyone knew that Bai Ren was on the edge of Zhao County. Thinking about it, the Dou thief was killed at his door in a blink of an eye, and everyone's criticism of the General's Mansion was much quieter. Due to the influence of his background, although Li Xu, the governor of the six counties, has deviated greatly from the cold door, but this person can still be classified as reasonable, if Dou Jiande is replaced to take charge of the six counties, many people say that they are standing here to discuss government affairs with him, I am afraid that they will not find a place to cry.

"Brother Junjian of Wang Nian under the rule of General Li, and Cheng Mingzhen of Bairen County under the command of Dou Gongjiande, King of Changle, was the first to ......" In front of everyone, Yang Wenxuan took out the letter and read it aloud with errors in format and title. In the first few sentences, he could still maintain a contemptuous attitude towards the sender, but after reading it, his heart became more and more uncomfortable, and his tone began to tremble slightly.

The surname Cheng is not here to set off, nor is it to show off his literary talent. He really calmed down and asked Zhao Jun's allies for advice on how to govern the place. Although the letter was written in a crude and unwritten manner, it was clear that this man did not regard himself as a thief, but truly regarded himself as a local official from the bottom of his heart.

“……。 Since Cheng is an official of a place, he should fulfill the responsibility of a parent. For this reason, he had the courage to ask Wang Junshou for the way to raise the people in Tuntian. The upper can repay the kindness of Dou Gong's support, and the lower can face the virtue of the people's support. In the case of your county, it can also reduce the influx of displaced people. Besides, Bairen and Zhao County are only separated by a lake, if the disaster victims are flooded, how can your county dig roads and build embankments, in order to survive the troubled times? ”

Cheng County's order is worthy of being born in the green forest, and the official letter asking for help also has a faint tone of coercion. But whether it was Yang Wenxuan who read the letter or the Boling officials who listened to the letter, no one had the heart to care about the tone of speech with the other party.

To be an official of a place, you must fulfill the responsibility of a parent. These words have been said since ancient times, but they came out of the mouth of a former bandit with a high-sounding sound. The result is not only a wry smile, but also a shock from the bottom of your heart.

It's no wonder that Dou Jiande's power has expanded so fast, just listening to the letter of a county order under his command, you can guess that he has a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger! .

The strength of the opponent is not a good thing for the six counties of Boling in any case. However, the more depressing news was still to come, and while Yang Wenxuan was reading the letter, Li Xu ordered Zhou Daniu and the others to unfold another sheepskin map. It's not as detailed as the previous one, but it's better to be general and intuitive. As long as one glance over, one can clearly see the development of several other forces around the six counties of Boling.

Luo Yi, the northernmost one, owns Yan, Liucheng, Beiping, Yuyang and a small half of Zhuo County, just like a leopard that chooses people to devour at any time behind everyone. Liu Wuzhou in the northwest developed slowly, but with the support of the Turks, he already included the two counties of Mayi and Yanmen and half of Loufu County. Li Yuan, who was due west, was not making good progress in his southward movement, and the soldiers and horses were blocked between the Mouse Bird Valley and Huoyi by the torrential rain and the enemy army at the moment, and the future was unpredictable. Once its southward advance is blocked, it will inevitably attack the surrounding area.

Although the strength of the above three families is alarming, it has not yet reached the point of fear. The one who is really scary is Dou Jiande. In the blink of an eye, this person had knocked down most of the area north of the Yellow River and south of Zhangshui. Now the power of the imperial court in Hebei is only shrunk in Wuyang and Jijun, barely maintained by relying on the reserves of Liyang Cang and thousands of old and weak soldiers.

"I remember that a year and a half ago, Dou Jiande was forced into Douzigang by me and the old general Yang Yichen!" Putting aside the topic caused by Cheng Mingzhen for the time being, Li Xu pointed to a palm-sized swamp area between the plains and Bohai counties, and said with a wry smile.

"Raising tigers is a problem, the imperial court really shouldn't have transferred the general and General Yang away one after another!" Zhang Jiuyi, who was shocked, couldn't help shaking his head. If it weren't for the court's eyes that day, Yang Yichen would have been urged to return to Jiangdu to take up his post. The old general will not suddenly die. If it weren't for the imperial court's insistence that Li Xu going south that day, the strength of the Boling Army would not have been greatly damaged, and Luo Yi would not have gone south. Taking advantage of the fact that Dou Jiande has not yet developed, Li Xu can capture him in one fell swoop just like he did when he dealt with Gao Shida!

But there is no regret medicine to buy in the world. Nor will the imperial court be held accountable for past mistakes. "More than a month ago, when we were inseparable from Luo Yi, Dou Jiande expanded his power to this ......" At this moment, Li Xu, the only one who can be responsible for the safety of everyone, continued to draw circles on the map with his hands, encircling the Bohai Sea, the plains, half of the river, and half of the Qinghe River.

"...... in a little more than a month." He sighed and continued to add, "Dou Jiande has arrived at Bairen, Ping'en, and Wu'an!" If it continues to develop at this rate, within half a year, it is possible that the Dou Jiajun will surround the south of the six counties! ”

"The Dou family army is originally a gang of thieves, and they won't stand firm so quickly!" Zhang Jiuyi didn't care about pretending to be heavy anymore, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and retorted in a low voice.

But these words are clearly covering their ears and stealing the bell. Even the small county commander surnamed Cheng knows that he is doing his best to seek the main general, and he knows that supporting the people in Juntian is the only way to develop and grow. At this moment, can Dou Jiande continue to be treated as an unpopular grass thief? If he has a few more Cheng Mingzhen under his command, he is still worried that he will not be able to take root in southern Hebei?

"The general must not let the general surnamed Cheng learn the strategy of Tuntian!" Hengyang County ordered Wang Junyi to stand up and suggest to Li Xu loudly. completely forgot what kind of hostile attitude he and his family had when Li Xu tried the new policy in the six counties.

His suggestion was met with only a few sighs. Not only Li Xu, but everyone here can understand that raising people in Tuntian is not a great dragon slaying cheat. No matter whether Zhao Jun is too stubborn or unwilling to give advice, as long as Dou Jiande's people send spies to investigate the people for ten days and half a month, they will definitely be able to grasp the details of this strategy.

A bandit leader who can not only conquer cities and conquer cities, but also support the people's livelihood, how much room for development there is, everyone can no longer predict. But right now, the Boling army is exhausted, and it is impossible to strangle Dou before he is fledgling!

"In the eyes of all the monarchs here, the displaced people from the east of the river are all waste, disaster stars!" Li Xu sighed again, and his words sounded indescribably heavy, "But for Cheng under Dou Jiande, it is Dingkou, grain and soldiers. If we close the gate of Hedong today, we will send tens of thousands of displaced people to Dou Jiande. At this time next year, tens of thousands of Dou Jiajun, who hate us to the core, will come to the door with knives. Although the letter written by the surname Cheng was rude and rude, his sentence that the victims were flooded was not wrong at all! ”

"Subordinate, subordinate has been studying for many years, and his knowledge is not as good as a thief!" After a while, Yang Wenxuan, who had recovered from the shock, took the initiative to apologize to Li Xu. He didn't dare to question Li Xu's move to feed the displaced people in Hedong with Hebei's rice grain. Cheng Mingzhen said well in the letter, and the victims were flooded. When several dark tides converge into a torrent, I am afraid that no levee can stop it.

Officials in the six counties, who had just settled down for less than two years, knew that the destructive power of the displaced people was powerful. They constantly have relatives and friends from other places who come to defect, and they know better that if the strength of their own family and Dou Jiande is reversed, what does it mean to the six counties of Boling and the big guys?

"You can't be blamed for this, when I first started, I also wanted to keep the displaced people from Hedong." Li Xu smiled and waved his hand, not accepting Yang Wenxuan's self-reprimand, "But in the future, everyone has to cheer up, no matter how bad our knowledge is, we can't be compared to a thief!" ”
