Chapter 564: Yan Rou dies
Liu He nodded and said: "When the Holy Lord was here, he once told me that after returning to Youzhou, he would fight hard to wait for the rescue of the imperial court, but I didn't expect that after many years, the Xiliang army has become stronger and stronger, and Youzhou is still so weak, I am sorry for the grace of the Holy Lord." ”
Yan Rou was sad in his heart, after he unified Youzhou, he didn't want to establish a reputation, and everything in front of him was completely destroyed because of the Xiliang Army, he had never been so resentful of a person, if Jia Rong was in front of him, he couldn't wait to pounce on it and bite a few bites, successive battles, making Youzhou even poorer, already poor, and now there are starving bones on the road, from some rumors, Yan Rou learned the thoughts of ordinary people, and his heart was full of anger.
The people wanted the Xiliang Army to enter Liaoxi, and public opinion spread very quickly among the people, and under the influence of well-intentioned people, the people soon knew what the lives of those people under the rule of the Xiliang Army were like.
No one wants to be worse off than others, and the same is true for the people.
The people under the rule of the Xiliang Army live happily and healthily, and the people will naturally have some careful thoughts about it, which is not a secret in Liaoxi County.
Such a situation, of course, is not what Liu He is happy to see, but now, the power is still in the hands of Yan Rou and others, even if he has the heart, he is powerless to save the situation, unlike Wang Yun at the beginning, he didn't feel that Jia Rong had anything to do, he was dressed and fed all day long, but he ate and drank with the soldiers in the army, which was many times better than Cao Cao, a person who had a set behind the surface and a set, he was very strange that Emperor Wei Shenme of the Han Dynasty chose to go to Yanzhou, instead of staying in the Xiliang army, Could it be because of the world's opinion of Jia Rong?
After arriving in Yanzhou, Liu He never got happy.
"Go, get ready, the Xiliang Army will not give up, it is best to unite Liaodong, the truth of the cold lips and teeth, I think Gongsun Du also understands." Liu Hedao.
Yan Rou was shocked in her heart, she didn't know that Liu He, who had always been very weak, would have such words, it seemed that she still underestimated Liu He, and in front of the Han Emperor, she could play with the civil and military officials in the court, how could she be a person who did nothing, once this kind of person has power in his hands, he will definitely go further.
Jia Rong's soldiers came to Youzhou, Liu He didn't feel the slightest panic, he had been under Jia Rong, he naturally knew some of the policies of the Xiliang Army, and he was very generous to the prisoners, which Liu He appreciated very much, the dragon gave birth to the dragon and the phoenix, Liu Yu adopted a soft policy for the Wuhuan people before his death, and he was very good for the Wuhuan people who took refuge, Liu He was also more or less contaminated, and he was quite appreciative of Jia Rong's behavior.
A day of anxious life finally came to an end, Yan Rou said back to the house, the state pastoral mansion is still Liu He's decision on the surface, especially when Youzhou is stormy, he doesn't want to spread any more rumors, when he was strong before, he can not care, but now it is different, everything must be cautious, so as not to be true.
"General, there are civilians blocking the way ahead." The groom who drove the car said.
Yan Rou felt a little irritated in her heart, and waved her hand and said, "Order the soldiers to drive them away." ”
The groom muttered a few words outside the carriage, and Yan Rou heard the constant shouting of soldiers outside the carriage.
Suddenly thinking that Jia Rong had been benevolent in Chang'an, and had the current strength with the original Jincheng County, he couldn't help but say: "Don't let them go!" ”
Yan Rou stepped out of the carriage and saw more than a dozen people on the road in front of her, dressed in rags and showing a look of famine, and couldn't help but feel a little sudden in her heart, these people blocked the road just to beg for some food.
"General, what should I do?"
Yan Rou smiled in what she thought was the gentlest and said, "Give these people something to eat." "Since ancient times, the people have not fought with the officials, and the people have been able to openly block the road, which is obviously driven to a dead end.
Giving the people some food, Yan Rou looked at the people who were grateful and kept kowtowing, and the unhappiness in his heart suddenly dissipated a lot, in Youzhou, he can still do a lot of things, at least the tens of thousands of people in the city are still controlled by him.
The carriage moved slowly, and one of the generals stepped forward and said, "General, these people follow behind the carriage, and no matter how the soldiers drive them, they will not leave." ”
Hearing this, Yan Rou ordered the groom to stop the carriage and slowly walked out of the carriage.
"Fellow villagers, now is the time when Youzhou is in danger, the Xiliang army knocks on the side, even the soldiers in the army, and it is difficult to eat enough, this general will do his best to do good things for the people, get rid of the current predicament, and strive to restore normal order in Youzhou as soon as possible." Yan Rou said in a colorful voice.
The soldiers on the side glanced at Yan Rou in surprise, Yan Rou, who had been very impatient when he heard that the people were blocking the road, suddenly became like this.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" More than a dozen people prostrated again.
Yan Rou pointed to a common man and said, "You come forward." ”
The people glanced at the left and right, I don't know why, after all, they are ordinary people, how can they know any etiquette, so they hurriedly got up from the ground and came in the direction of Yan Rou.
A general stood not far in front of Yan Rou and stopped the people, and scolded: "Don't hurry up and salute when you see the general." ”
Yan Rou saw that the people didn't understand this, and she didn't care, so she smiled and said, "It's all ordinary people, how can they know so much." ”
"Why are you blocking the way?" Yan Rou asked.
"There was no food at home, and I really couldn't survive, so I thought of stopping the official's carriage." The people replied.
Yan Rou carefully explained the current situation in Youzhou, regardless of whether the people could understand it or not, anyway, he was trying to learn from Jia Rong's benevolent side towards the people, hoping to revive the current situation in Youzhou.
Yan Rou waved his hand to signal the people to leave, and in an instant, the people who were still scared flashed a fierce color in their eyes, and quickly approached Yan Rou, with a wave of cold light in their hands, a cold light flashed.
Caught off guard, Yan Rou could only watch in a daze as the weapon cut his throat, he couldn't have imagined that the people, who were still very afraid, changed their appearance in an instant, and became an assassin who was not afraid of life and death, and his previous disguise was so good that people couldn't detect any clues.
It was only a moment after the incident that the nearby soldiers reacted and kept shouting for the assassin.
The sallow people were very athletic, rushing left and right between the soldiers, and no one could stop them, and the people they met along the way did not end up.
Seeing this change, the remaining people, instead of showing fear, stepped forward one after another to stop the soldiers, and after a while, the corpses of more than a dozen soldiers appeared in the field, and more than a dozen people also took the opportunity to escape.
Yan Rou's death, for Liaoxi County, is the biggest blow, under the coordination of Yan Rou, the soldiers of the various departments can still live in peace, after all, he is the leader of the soldiers jointly elected by the soldiers of the original department, over the years of the campaign, he has a lot of prestige among the soldiers, once he died, the blow to the sergeants and pawns of the army is very great, and there are constantly generals for their own interests, and other generals fight hard, unveiling a veil of zuihou, everyone seems so unbearable, Liu He came forward, and has little influence on the sergeants and pawns of the army, and it should be beaten, It's time to make trouble, many people even guessed the master of the assassin to some generals, Yan Rou has always been in power during the days when he was in charge of Youzhou, and he didn't give others the slightest chance at all, even Liu He was honest under his men.
The great chaos in western Liaoxi made the Xiliang army see the opportunity, Zhao Yun led a thousand light cavalry, attacked the county city in the starry night, and under the response of the people in the city, attacked the city, recaptured a county town in the hands of Yan Rou, and almost unified Youzhou.
After occupying Liaoxi, Zhao Yun first stabilized the situation in the city, co-opted the generals and soldiers in the army, and completely settled the city, and then restored the normal order in the city and began to deal with prisoners of war.
With mental calculations or unintentional, most of the Youzhou soldiers became prisoners of the Xiliang Army.
Liu He saw that the general trend in the city had been decided, and took refuge in the Xiliang Army, with Liu He's surrender, Zhao Yun accepted the Youzhou military mutiny more simply, no matter what, Liu He is the nominal Youzhou pastor, and has the absolute right to speak on the military and politics, but because of Yan Rou's dictatorship before, it caused a situation of no power in his hands, and now Yan Rou is dead, and Liu He represents Youzhou.
On the one hand, to stabilize the situation in the entire western Liaoning, on the other hand, to Chang'an, to break Yan Rou, is a great encouragement for the entire Western Liang army, Youzhou is poor, Liangzhou is also the same, Jia Rong can make Liangzhou a prosperous place, Youzhou is naturally not a problem, not only the officials are full of confidence, but the people of Youzhou are also full of confidence in their new masters.
The recovery of Liaoxi County has eased the urgent situation in Chang'an a lot, and the successive surveys have paid great effort, and the lone wolf has been punished by day and night to assassinate the place where the man in black has been haunted, and Fenglailou is the most important place to investigate, after all, the man in black has appeared here, and the owner of Fenglailou Fengya behaved very calmly, and ran towards the General's Mansion when he was idle, and tried his best to cooperate with the actions of the General's Mansion.
It has been investigated for ten days, and the death order issued by Jia Rong was to investigate for three days, but I didn't expect the situation to become more and more complicated, especially when there were spies in the craftsman's workshop, the three blacksmiths Zuihou confessed that they had taken out weapons from the craftsman's workshop, but these weapons were obviously not of the same grade as the batch seen in Xuzhou, and the number was enough to affect the situation in Xuzhou at the beginning.
After thinking hard to no avail, Jia Rong simply put down the government affairs in his hand for the time being, and played with his two sons, saying that since Weifu Cai Yan gave birth to a son respectively, Mihuan Cai Ling and Xiu'er, but there was no movement, and Jia Rong worked very hard.
Sure enough, as Jia Rong thought, the two sons gradually showed different preferences, the eldest son Jia Ren, likes to read, but unlike what Confucian classics scholars generally read, but it is similar to the cultivation officials of the Xiliang Army, just select some classic passages to watch, and do not learn anything else, so Cai Yong did not talk to Cai Yan less, after all, he is his grandson, and he may be Jia Rong's heir in the future, how can he be so anticlimactic, Cai Yan also indirectly asked Jia Rong, and was shirked by Jia Rong on the grounds that he had the greatest preference.
