Chapter 321: A History of Change (Part II)

Lu Yu took the order and left, Liu Chuang was about to speak again, when he suddenly felt someone pulling his clothes.

Turning his head to look, he saw Dong Yan looking at him with blank eyes, "Uncle, I'm hungry!" ”

Liu Chuang patted his forehead and patronized to talk about things, but forgot the fact that Dong Li had not eaten since he came back from Yecheng.

With such a big guy, there must be a lot of food.

Liu Chuang smiled: "Don't worry, I'll let someone prepare food for you." ”

He summoned Li Yifeng and asked him to inform the Huotou Army to cook.

In a short time, the firehead army brought a freshly roasted lamb...... Looking at the roast lamb with charred skin and tender meat, Liu Chuang also moved his index fingers. The surname Suo asked people to get the drink, and he was going to talk to Xu Chu and the others while eating. But who would have thought that Dong Li's appetite was really amazing. Liu Chuang and Xu Chu Pang De's food is not small, although Lu Xun is a scholar, he has also practiced swordsmanship for a long time, and the amount of food should not be underestimated. The four foodies sat together, and before they could eat two bites of mutton, a hind leg of mutton entered Dong Li's stomach, leaving only a bare bone.

Xu Chu was dumbfounded, and subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

"This thing tastes usually tight, how can you see this kid eating so sweet?"

Liu Chuang couldn't help laughing, and called Li Yifeng and said, "Han Niu, let Huotoujun roast another sheep...... Hehe, I estimate that this sheep may not be enough for the ugly to fill his stomach. ”

This guy has amazing powers, and his appetite is equally amazing.

Looking at the sweet food he ate and his face was full of oil, I don't know why Liu Chuang felt a trace of warmth in the hearts of the four of them.

Liu Chuang remembered Liu Yong!

When he was in Qu County, when he was bored and eating, did Liu Yong look at himself like this?

If it weren't for Liu Chuang's plot to Jiaozhou, he wouldn't have let Liu Yong come back long ago......

"By the way, early tomorrow morning, send someone to send the old lady's coffin to the river and hand it over to Jun Yi for arrangement.

He is from Hejian, and he also knows the situation in Hejian, so he must know where the tomb of the Dong family is. Let him take charge of the matter and bury the old lady.

Well, on this tombstone is written Dong Men's good wife......"

Liu Chuang suddenly remembered that he didn't know the old woman's name.

So he turned his head and asked Dong Li, but Dong Li's answer made him cry and laugh.

"Mother's name? Mother is mother, I don't know. ”

Dong Yan didn't even know the old woman's surname, so he let Liu Chuang sit on wax.

On the side, Lu Xun saw that Liu Chuang was embarrassed, so he said: "Empress Xiaoren is not a big family in the river, but the daughter of an ordinary official eunuch...... However, she married the Marquis of Xie Duting as his wife, and the emperor's uncle loved Ah Chou so much, so the surname Suo gave the old lady a decent identity.

It's better to have the surname Liu, in this way, wouldn't the relationship between Ah Chou and the imperial uncle be closer? ”

Liu Chuang was stunned, and immediately overjoyed.

This kind of thing is rare in history, and the old lady's family background is estimated to be not very good, and she has no relatives until now, so she will give her the surname Liu, which can be regarded as compensation for her hard work over the years to raise Dong Li. Well, just call it Dongmen Liu's.

It was night, and Dong Li didn't dare to sleep alone.

Liu Chuang had no choice but to let people add a bunk to the big tent, and Dong Yan slept on the bunk.

In less than the middle of the night, the boy snored like thunder.

Liu Chuang sat on the couch and looked at Dong Li, who was sleeping heavily, and felt helpless...... Dong Yan is so dependent on himself now, and it will be a trouble in the future.

Seeing Dong Li kick off the quilt, Liu Chuang shook his head, got up and stepped forward to cover him.

Let him follow...... With such a big boy here, he can sleep more peacefully when he marches and fights.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The next day, Yuan Shang sent someone to tell Liu Chuang and ask him to be stationed in Pingyang City.

At first hearing the news, Liu Chuang was stunned.

Didn't you say that I should be stationed in Wucheng? How did you suddenly change your mind?

After another thought, he quickly understood why. I'm afraid this matter has to be done by Feng Ji in it...... Liu Chuang promised to protect Yuan Shao's bloodline, and Feng Ji also reciprocated by letting Liu Chuangtun stay in Pingyang City. Since the two sides are now in a cooperative relationship, if Liu Chuang is stationed in Wucheng, the grain and grass will be controlled by Yecheng. Yuan Shang was fine when he was in Pingyang, but if Yuan Shang was not in Pingyang, I was afraid that some people would secretly make trouble. Of course, Feng Ji didn't want to ruin the friendship between the two families because of this incident. At least for now, Liu Chuang is an extremely important help to Yuan Shang. Even if Liu Chuang is stationed in Pingyang, what kind of big deal is it?

After Liu Chuang figured it out, he couldn't help but smile dumbly.

Cen Bi was willing to send his family to Youzhou, and Liu Chuang immediately put his mind at ease.

Although he is not allowed to be reused now, he is just an ordinary captain of the East Gate, but he is a nail buried by Liu Chuang in Yecheng.

It seems that Cen Bi has also figured it out!

This is very good, with Cen Bi here, it is difficult to hide from Liu Chuang's eyes in Yecheng.

Liu Chuang immediately let Lu Yu enter the city again, and ordered the Treasure Pavilion to send ten Yi gold to Cen Bi, which can be regarded as Liu Chuang's reward for Cen Bi's service......

Subsequently, he found a car and horse shop in Yecheng.

The carriage and horse shop was actually the eyes and ears of Huang Ge, but Liu Chuang pretended not to know him, and hired the other party to send the old lady's coffin to the river, and at the same time, Cen Bi's family also mixed in and secretly left Yecheng. Originally, Liu Chuang wanted Dong Li to go back together, but Dong Li was unwilling.

When the old lady was dying, he asked him to follow Liu Chuang, which also made Liu Chuang unable to move Dong Li.

In that case, let him stay with him.

This eldest son surnamed is violent, and if there is another incident at the time of burial, I am afraid that no one will be able to suppress him.

After arranging a qiē, Liu Chuang was about to leave for Pingyang.

However, before leaving, Liu Chuang remembered Zhuge Liang's three bags, so he opened one of them, but saw that the bags read: After my brother arrives in Yecheng, he must not be stationed in Yecheng. The situation in Ye is complicated, and non-elder brothers can control it, so they should leave Yecheng as much as possible and stay alone.

Liu Chuang couldn't help but smile after looking at it.

It seems that Zhuge Liang has already guessed that he will open the bag when he leaves Yecheng.

However, what he said was right, it was no good for him to stay in Yecheng...... Many things are difficult to carry out under the noses of others.

Well, going to Binh Duong City seems to be a good choice!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The old man is pulling out, and it is mighty.

Dong Li walked in the army, and his face was full of curiosity.

This kid doesn't know how to ride...... It's also normal. After the defeat of the Dong family, he fled with the old woman, how could he have the opportunity to learn riding.

However, in this way, another problem arose: Liu Chuang wanted to teach him riding skills.

But the problem is that Dong Li doesn't seem to like horseback riding.

He prefers to walk on foot, and he walks like the wind...... This big boy actually gave birth to a pair of scuds. Don't look at him as big as him, he can run at an amazing speed. He has large steps and an extremely well-coordinated body, and his body is even more amazing. As long as he doesn't gallop on a horse, this kid won't be left behind. Seeing that he didn't like horseback riding, Liu Chuang gave him a mule and carried a mallet and armor bag for him.

Most of the time, he led the mule and followed Liu Chuang.

The appearance of refusing to leave for a moment made Wu Anguo and Li Yifeng cry and laugh.

This time, the lord did find a personal bodyguard...... admired Dong Li's amazing divine power, Wu Anguo and Li Yifeng also admired it very much......

But this kid follows Liu Chuang like this, no matter how you look at it, it makes people feel a little weird.

However, since Liu Chuang doesn't care, no one will persuade him.

From Yecheng to Pingyang City, it is not too far.

Liu Chuang and his entourage arrived at the city of Pingyang in one day.

Around Yecheng, there are four major granaries, namely Wucheng, Jiuhou City, Dirty City and Pingyang City.

Today, the granary of Wucheng has been emptied and has become a purely military town; The Sewage City and Jiuhou City are located to the west of Yecheng, according to the sewage on both sides.

Pingyang City, located south of Zhangshui, is also the farthest of the four granaries in Yecheng.

It is very close to the hill and is the eastern fortress of Yecheng; It is only one hundred and fifty miles south to Neihuang, and you can reach it if you ride a horse.

After Liu Chuang arrived in Pingyang, he quickly settled in Pingyang.

There are not many defenders in Pingyang City, only a few hundred people in total.

In the second confrontation between Yuan and Cao, Pingyang was Yuan Shao's main export of grain and grass. Therefore, although there are thousands of stones of grain and grass hoarded, it is much worse than the previous scene of the city full of grain. Therefore, the strategic position of Pingyang City has also weakened, especially after the defeat of Cangting, in order to strengthen the defense of Yecheng, Pingyang has almost exhausted its troops. Today, most of the soldiers and horses in Pingyang City are old and weak.

After Liu Chuangshun entered the city, he summoned Lu Yu and Lu Xun to come to discuss the matter.

He came to Yecheng with the idea of gathering the displaced people.

Around Pingyang, and even along the banks of Zhangshui, it is difficult to count the displaced people...... It is no wonder that Yuan Cao clashed twice, especially in the second clash, and the main battlefield was in Hebei, causing a large number of people to be displaced. With the defeat of Yuan Shao, these displaced people were concentrated in the Zhangshui area.

"It is not difficult for the lord to collect the displaced people."

Lu Xun thought for a while, "There are still 10,000 grains and grass in this city, which is enough to ensure that the army can eat them."

It is better to send out the surplus food, on the one hand, to help the displaced people, and on the other hand, to try to migrate it to the north...... As long as these people can cross the Hutuo River, the lord can order someone to accept it in Puyang Pavilion. But in this way, I am afraid that Youzhou will be under great pressure. ”

Liu Chuang thought about it, and then said in a deep voice: "This is not a big deal...... The Zhongshan Su clan had previously funded me with 30,000 pieces of grain, and it is estimated that I will be able to resist it. As long as we can survive the harvest this autumn, the grain problem will be alleviated. If the land continues to be cleared in the coming year, I don't believe that I won't be able to create a land of fish and rice in Saibei...... This matter was so decided. Taking advantage of the fact that Yuan had not yet set off, the Zi family immediately went to Yecheng after a hard work, and begged Feng Ji for food and grass support. We want to open a warehouse here to release grain, which is an opportunity to attract displaced people. ”

Lu Xun and Lu Yu glanced at each other, then nodded in agreement.

The grain and grass in Yecheng are very sufficient.

After Liu Chuang's request was sent, under the ** work of Feng Ji and Yin Kui and others, Yuan Shang quickly agreed and ordered the transfer of some grain and grass from Jiuhou City to Pingyang.

And Liu Chuang took the opportunity to order people to open a porridge shed outside Pingyang City.

On the one hand, he ordered people to help the displaced people, and on the other hand, he asked people to spread the news among the displaced people: as long as they arrived in Youzhou, they could have land and food, and they did not need to be affected by the war.

It is also Liu Chuang's great achievements in the past two years, which makes Jizhou people familiar with him.

More importantly, Liu Chuang's capture of Daxianbei Mountain was the biggest victory of the Han family since the Yellow Turban.

Even if many people in Jizhou are dissatisfied with Liu Chuang, they have to admit that Liu Chuang's strong force can give them the best protection.

As a result, along with Liu Chuang's relief of the displaced people in Pingyang City, a large number of displaced people began to cross the Zhangshui River and migrate to Zhongshan.

After Yang Feng of the Hutuo River crossing learned the news, on the one hand, he sent people to report to Yecheng, but on the other hand, he opened the ferry and let the displaced people cross the river at night......

Of course, Yuan Shang also knew about Liu Chuang's movements, but he didn't care.

In his opinion, it is actually a very dangerous thing for many displaced people to gather in the Yecheng area.

Since Liu Chuang is willing to accept the homeless, then let him do it. The decrease in the number of displaced people in Yecheng is also a good thing for him.

What he has to do now is to go to Liyang as much as possible and join forces with Yuan Tan to fight against Cao **.

The battle in Liyang is becoming more and more intense!

As Cao **'s offensive gradually strengthened, Yuan Tan gradually became unable to resist......

At the same time, Cao Hong of Fanyang and Xu Huang of Yin'an also sent troops to approach Neihuang.

Yuan Tan was a little confused, and sent someone to ask Yuan Shang for help again. Yuan Shang saw that the situation was tense, and he didn't care that the troops and horses had not been mobilized, so he personally led the troops and went straight to Liyang.

He ordered Feng Ji to stay in Yecheng, and sent someone to inform Liu Chuang, asking him to try to send troops to contain Cao Hong and Xu Huang's soldiers and horses.

This is related to the entire Hebei war situation, and Liu Chuang does not dare to slack off.

He immediately ordered Xu Chu to be the vanguard, Lu Xun to be the military advisor, and the soldiers entered the old river.

At the same time, Yuan Chunqing, the former Wei County Taishou and Neihuang Shou General, also dispatched troops and stationed them in the middle reaches of the Qingshui River to resist the attack of Cao's army.

The battle of Liyang soon entered a scorching situation.

After Yuan Shang arrived in Liyang, he was stationed in the northern suburbs of Liyang, and Yuan Tan echoed each other in the city.

Yan Liang led his troops to storm Liyang City, and Yuan Shang suddenly attacked...... Originally, if Yuan Tan sent troops to attack at this time, he would not be able to succeed in a battle. But Yuan Tan, under the persuasion of Guo Tu, sat back and watched Yuan Shang attack alone, refusing to go out of the city to help. After Cao Jun was attacked by Yuan Shang, he was indeed a little confused. Then, under the command of Xu You, Yan Liang quickly turned around and mobilized the main force to meet the attack......

At the same time, Cao ** ordered Li Dian to cross the river from the lower reaches of the Qingshui River, and joined forces with Yan Liang to attack Yuan Shang, causing Yuan Shang to return defeated.

The gap between the two Yuan brothers also expanded.

Yuan Shang was annoyed by Yuan Tan's lack of cooperation, and Yuan Tan accused Yuan Shang of attacking unfavorably......

The two brothers almost fought under Liyang City, but fortunately, thanks to the civil and military persuasion on both sides, the two did not fight.

But in this way, it also makes many people feel inexplicably hopeless!

In March of the seventh year of Jian'an, just when Er Yuan was defending Liyang and was attacking Cao Jun endlessly, bad news suddenly came from Ping'en in the upper reaches of the Qingshui River.

Ping En guarded Feng Li and led his troops to surrender to Cao**.

After Cao's ** general Xiahou Yuan occupied Ping'en, he quickly went down the Qingshui River and went straight to Neihuang.

It was also at this time that Yuan Chunqing, the former Huang Shou general of Wei County, was detained by Cao ** because his family was detained, rebelled and surrendered to Cao **...... (To be continued.)
