While the north is still looking forward to the early arrival of spring in the bitter cold, the south, especially in the Sichuan Basin, is already a scene of recovery, a little green shyly hiding in the gray, black and yellow landscape, and the slowly flowing river also brings the desire to return home and greetings to friends in the hometown from afar.

The farmers began to prepare for the busy new year.

Of course, in addition to preparing for a good harvest in the new year, the villagers also have to do one important thing at the same time, that is, to go to the fields, to the mountains, forests and rivers, to find the various animals and plants that have reappeared, and then use these things to ensure that the family can survive the future green and yellow period.

Nature is undoubtedly generous, and she has always given the gift of generosity, the highest achievement of nature, so that people can obtain from her a lot of delicious and nutritious food if they are diligent.

However, this kind of gift does not make the villagers feel much happiness, not because the villagers do not know how to be grateful, in fact, these people are constantly grateful to nature for giving them the food that allows them to live. It's just that when they think of the situation at home and the situation of their neighbors, the sad expressions on their faces are difficult to soothe.

When they return home with fresh ingredients, the older and younger men will be greeted with the care of their wives and the cheers of their children, who will help their fathers and mothers with the ingredients that will be eaten in the short term, and those that can be stored for a long time will be treated as much as possible, otherwise the taste of the processed ingredients will be affected. In addition, it may cause food poisoning due to the contamination of the ingredients with something undesirable.

Perhaps, such a poisoning incident is for a person like Li Shushi, as long as he casually finds a dancer at home...... Well, it can be solved with a single awakening spell, and at most a few reasonable meals to recuperate, you can become alive again. Even for Li Shushi, a self-healing spell is simpler and more convenient than any spell. But in terms of effect, it is a standout storage zài, not only to expel poison and heal, but also to strengthen the body, which is simply a foul!

But for ordinary people, if this kind of thing is not treated in time, it often represents the loss of a life. And if there is a problem with the pillars of the family, it represents the collapse of a family.

Therefore, in the handling of ingredients, adults and children who are familiar with this qiē will be cautious and will not be lazy.

When handling ingredients. These villagers may talk to their mothers-in-law, probably nothing more than how carefully these ingredients are calculated, how long they can last after careful calculation, what is the situation of this year, and whether the seeds left over from last year are safe.

Of course, the most important topic is always how many officials under various banners will come to collect taxes during the year, and whether there will be rebels going deep into such small villages close to the mountains and forests. This relatively peaceful place was plunged into great terror.

They begged for peace, hoping that the coming year would give them a little hope.

Unfortunately, even this small, humble wish seems extremely difficult to achieve. In fact, the main topic of conversation today is the rumored destruction of a village a hundred miles to the east by rebellious soldiers a few days ago.

That village is not much different from their village, the land of the Chengdu Plain is very fertile, although it cannot be compared with the place with Dujiangyan irrigation, but as long as you put your heart into it, you can usually get a good harvest. It is not like those rich households who concentrate on planting mulberry and raising silkworms and use this to compile a cloud of Shu brocade, they can only occasionally get some not too many mulberry leaves from the mulberry trees on the mountain, and then raise dozens or hundreds of silkworm babies. It's barely a source of funds for buying New Year's goods every year, but unfortunately I often can't get this money for various reasons, but it's not too frustrating to buy some "luxury goods".

However, such a simple village that had no quarrel with the world was sacked by a group of routs, if it were not for the fire that burned down the village to attract the attention of nearby officers and soldiers. Perhaps their village hundreds of miles away would not be spared a similar murder.

"Hey, these years are really getting more and more chaotic, and I really don't leave a way for us people to live."

"I said daddy, why do you say these people are always calling around. In the early years, those Taoists of Taiping Road were very kind and polite, not only cured my mother's illness, but also received more than a dozen dollars or a few pieces of cake as long as they went to help during the New Year's holidays, and they could also eat one or two full meals when they helped, which was really a group of good people. But those officials say that these people are traitors, and they want to be exterminated and suppressed, do they mean that the good people in this world will not live long? ”

"Who says it's not, those Taiping Daoists also taught me how to write my own name, and also taught me a few ways to play with a knife, if it weren't for these two things, how could your father marry you to me back then."

"Yes, my father said back then that you are a capable person, and you always have something to eat with you."

"I guess it's because those people in the government are killing good people indiscriminately. The thief named Jia Long, in order to get ahead, killed innocents indiscriminately. Good place, just because of him, how many people died. Later, he rode on our heads to make a fortune, but what was the result, it was not that Liu Zhoumu cut off his head and hung it on the city gate. I heard that many people went to the city at that time, just to curse him under the city gate, and curse him, a bastard who kills good people, and he is innocent! ”

"So Liu Zhoumu, who punished the thief, is a good person."

"Yes, Liu Zhoumu is really a good person, at least when he was under his rule, our life was quite peaceful, our child was born safely, and the family also had a little savings, although it was not much, but there was always a hope for the future."

"Who's to say it isn't. It's a pity that good people don't live long, but the scourge lives a hundred years, and we suffer so much. ”

"And the bad guys are very good at disguise. When Liu Zhoumu was alive. Although those 'Dongzhou soldiers' are all homeless people from other towns, they still know and respect for us natives, and they also helped us exterminate many mountain bandits and wild bandits, resisted the fierce Di people in the west, and killed a lot of heroes and heroes who plagued us on weekdays, although there were also some wronged ones. But how to say that if there were no them in those peaceful days, it would be difficult for Liu Zhoumu or us to live in peace, and I heard that many villains were very opposed to Liu Zhoumu.

But who would have thought that as soon as Liu Zhoumu died, these people changed their faces, not only their temper rose, but they also kept looting our rations, and all kinds of small officials urging taxes also continued to appear, fortunately, they had accumulated a little bit of family wealth, otherwise how could they support it until now. But what's the use of this, maybe one day the family will be taken away by those little officials to take the last bit of food.

And that's it, you can still live a life of patience. But somehow, those 'Dongzhou soldiers' and those powerful families actually fought each other, and as a result, they still didn't stop fighting for a long time. As a result, many villages have been pulled out of the strong men, and the villages that have come out of the strong men will be slaughtered by the rebels from the hostile forces, but if the young people in the village are not allowed to join the army. It will be slaughtered by the forces that came to pull the strong ding, and I don't know how many villages will disappear after this battle. How many villages have become widows' villages?

Moreover, in this war, there are more different kinds of tax collectors, and their attitudes are more arrogant. There are also rebels and bandits who came out of nowhere, and one carelessness is also the result of the slaughter of the whole village, which really makes people unable to live. ”

"Daddy, you said that the villages so close to us have been killed. Will our village be spared? ”

"I can't tell, it's really not good, I can only hide in the mountains with my life, maybe I can escape."

"But I heard that recently the people of the mountains have begun to attack the villages at the foot of the mountains, and the people of the villages have either been killed or taken into the mountains. The village was also burned to the ground, but I am afraid that the mountains will not be peaceful. ”

"There are no 'Dongzhou soldiers', and there are no county soldiers, and those barbarians have also come out, it's really hard to give people a way out!"

Even if the current situation is very embarrassing, no matter how the situation develops, food is the most important material to maintain the life of a family, unless the family will die in the next moment, they will make these ingredients and become the materials they will carry wherever they go in the future.

It's just that even if they have already made plans to leave their homeland, although the world is big, where can they flee to?

It didn't take long after Liu Yan's death, and the entire Yizhou was already in chaos.

Among them, the most important contradiction occurred between Liu Yan's cronies "Dongzhou Bing" and the local family Haoqiang.

The former is mainly based on Liu Yan's Tongjia Pang Xi, in-law Wu Yi, celebrity Xu Jing and others, while the latter is mainly based on Zhao Wei, a Ba man who followed Liu Yan into Sichuan from other places, but in fact belonged to the local people in central Sichuan, and once did the Taicang Order in the Ling Emperor's Dynasty.

Of course, underneath this, there are also large and small, large and small, left, right, and centrists, and the relationship between them is complicated.

If you count Zhang Lu, who has a bitter hatred between Bei and Liu Zhang, it can be said that the relationship between the entire central and northern parts of Yizhou has become a mess of porridge, and Liu Yan's heir Liu Zhang is still a master who is "good" at making this pot of porridge worse, so it is not surprising that Yizhou has been on fire for the past two years.

In fact, Liu Zhang has not made some efforts.

For example, it is probably to follow the will of his father Liu Yan to win over the real power faction in the local forces in Yizhou, and Zhang Ren and Yan Yan, who have military power—the former is the main force of Cheng Dù and has a respected status, and the latter is another piece of cake thrown by Liu Zhang.

In addition to Hanzhong, the north-central part of Yizhou is the two kingdoms of Shu in Cuba - this is not a small country in Yelang, it can really be regarded as two large countries with a vast territory, except that the population may not be as large as the Central Plains, but that is also because it is not fully developed. Just like the municipality of Chongqing today, in terms of area, it is basically equivalent to the Republic of Austria, which is descended from the Habsburg Kingdom, and the GDP is actually not much different if the monetary reason is deducted, and the Great Celestial Empire is naturally one of the few rivals in the world in terms of population...... Ahem, a little farther away.

The counties formed by such huge two countries naturally have a huge area, so the Shu County was later divided into two in the Western Han Dynasty and Guanghan County was added. And this Ba County is probably because there are many mountains and forests and there are many barbarian tribes hiding in the mountains, so it is still very intact - for the entire Han Empire, even such a large Ba County will not pose much of a threat. But for a mere Yizhou, it is indeed a bit too huge. Liu Yan didn't put in the effort to take care of this matter because there were too many things, so the mission of dismantling Bajun fell into Liu Zhang's hands - well, that's a bit of an exaggeration.

Liu Zhang was also very willing to do this, and split the originally huge Ba County into Yongning, Guling, and Ba counties plus a Shu State in one go. Later, for unknown reasons, the names of Yongning and Guling counties were changed to Pasir County and Padang County, and the subject country was determined to be the subject state of Padang.

We don't know the reason for Liu Zhang's name change, after all, the location of Padang and Brazil and Ba County from the map is really a bit unpleasant. But in any case, the original one county has become three counties and one subject country, and various official positions have immediately changed to four, which is simply a business! It can be said that if Spirit Emperor Liu Hong knew about this, he would definitely cry and faint in the toilet.

Obviously, Liu Hong's business experience has not yet reached home, and he has missed a good opportunity to increase his income in vain.

Take this opportunity. Liu Zhang handed over the new Ba County to Yan Yan - although it has shrunk greatly, it is still a position of 2,000 stones.

As for Brazil, which needed to face Hanzhong, it was handed over to Pang Xi, the leader of the Dongzhou soldiers who was related to his family.

Just tossed like this, and freed up two good positions to appease and win over the two heavyweights, Liu Zhang's move is commendable.

It's a pity that Liu Zhang's ability, or the political wisdom left by Liu Yan, was probably inherited by Liu Zhang, and then Liu Zhang's various actions not only failed to settle the interests of all parties, but made all parties not very satisfied.

Since there is no way to count on Liu Zhang, the new chief scoop recommended by various forces in Yizhou. Then just go into battle shirtless and take it yourself.

As a result, after Liu Yan's years of hard work, the land of Yizhou easily entered a relatively stable period, and it did not take long for it to enter. Then they fell into a new round of war, and because the situation was so complicated this time, the progress of the war became extremely chaotic.

Although the battle between Zhang Lu in the north and Pang Xi, the Taishou of Pasir County, although it seems that Zhang Lu always wins more and loses less, he can't take much advantage of Pang Xi at all, and in the past two years, the entire Pasir County seems to be full of internal strife and foreign enemies are pressing. However, it was still firmly grasped by Pang Xi, and those people from Hanchang County became the strongest guarantee for Pasir County to resist the attack from Hanzhong.

Although Brazil seems to be carefree for the time being, Pang Xi, the boss of the Dongzhou soldiers, couldn't care about other things for a while because of Zhang Lu, so he lost the bullet pressure of him, the chief scoop of the Dongzhou soldiers. The Dongzhou soldiers' cousins were naturally more and more arrogant.

After all, in the eyes of the Dongzhou soldiers and the Dongzhou scholars behind them, although they are refugees from Sanfu and Nanyang, they are outsiders, but they can't stand up to them being the descendants of Liu Yan's lineage, loyal to Liu Yan and helping Liu Yan defeat Jia Long, the leader of the local faction at the beginning, so that Liu Yan can justifiably become the emperor of Yizhou, which can be regarded as a dragon's work.

And when Liu Zhang, Liu Yan's son, succeeded to the throne, they should naturally become the force that Liu Zhang relied on.

Is it wrong to think so?

If it is viewed from the perspective of Dongzhou Bing, it is naturally extremely correct, but Liu Yan and Liu Zhang's father and son obviously don't think so.

Liu Yan, as an outsider, faced with the powerful and closed family of Yizhou at the beginning, he naturally needed to suppress it with the help of outsiders, so that he could consolidate his power smoothly, and Jia Long's killing was the ultimate embodiment of this thought.

However, when Liu Yan has firmly controlled Yizhou and the Dongzhou soldiers have begun to take root in Yizhou, it is obviously not a smart idea to fully support the Dongzhou soldiers to fight the Yizhou natives, because the Dongzhou soldiers are also localized in Yizhou, so the result of supporting the Dongzhou soldiers is obviously only possible to make them become a new Yizhou indigenous force, and it will not be a big one.

Originally, if this matter was handed over to Liu Yan, a hero, it would obviously be easier, he had enough prestige to suppress those Dongzhou soldiers, and he suffered a certain loss in time, but compared to what Liu Yan gave them at the beginning, it was obviously only a small part.

It's a pity that Liu Yan died after failing to complete this goal.

Liu Zhang, who succeeded to the throne, not only could not compare with his father Liu Yan in terms of prestige, but most importantly, when Liu Zhang began to balance the Dongzhou soldiers and the local forces in Yizhou according to his father's established policy, he was stunned to find that he did not have as much room for display as his father.

This is very simple to illustrate with the example of an ordinary family: the head of the family holds the financial power of the family while he is alive. It is natural to give some additional "rewards" to the children and grandchildren you like, which is considered a "gift" in the law. Then when the old family owner dies, these things that the old family owner gave before his death have already belonged to the donee, and it is impossible to enter the old family owner's estate to divide and distribute them to other children who were not very favored.

If you force yourself to do this, not only will you not get the support of the legal authorities, but the police will come to you for coffee.

Of course. Obviously, the division of political interests cannot be as clear and clear as that of ordinary people. But for the Dongzhou soldiers, those interests that had already been assigned to their sphere of influence have been regarded by them as their private property with the death of Liu Yan.

Now that Liu Zhang is carrying out "reforms" and engaging in balanced politics, it is natural to extend his hand to these benefits that were originally given to them.

After all, Yizhou is so big, and the cake is so big, it is impossible to increase it out of thin air. If you want to give more, someone will naturally suffer.

Therefore, Liu Zhang, in the eyes of the Dongzhou soldiers, has become the bastard who robbed the old family owner to give them property and forcibly redistributed the inheritance, coupled with the psychological gap caused by the failure to meet the status problem mentioned earlier, and now there is no Pang Xi, the boss of the Dongzhou soldiers, or Pang Xi is likely to deliberately turn a blind eye to the situation in Chengdu, after all, this political speculator still has a very good vision, and naturally he will not be willing to burn this troubled water again when he has already obtained enough benefits.

As a result, except for a few people in the Dongzhou soldiers, such as Wu Yi and cousin Fei Guan, who have an in-law relationship with Liu Zhang, these interests will definitely not be damaged, but will increase. The rest of the Dongzhou soldiers began to rebel not long after Liu Zhang succeeded to the throne, and fought with local forces in Yizhou such as Zhao Wei, Zhang Song, Huang Quan, Wang Lei and others from the court to the battlefield.

The two counties of Gushu became a pot of porridge in this way. And Badi in the east is no better.

If Brazil seems to be overwhelmed by the pressure from Hanzhong from the north, but Pang Xi is still able to make his position in Brazil as stable as Mount Tai, and Padang needs to guard against the increasing pressure from Jingzhou Liu Biao and has no intention of fighting, then Ba County, another important area on the land of Sanba, is naturally unlikely to become a pure land on earth in such an environment.

It's just that unlike Shu County, where the Dongzhou soldiers fired at the Yizhou local faction, in Ba County, it was replaced by the Ba County local faction and directly erected an anti-flag against Liu Zhang.

Shen Mi, Lou Fa. There is also a certain Ganning Gan Xingba, who is luxurious in the township and takes Shu brocade as a sail, and will cut off the brocade sail and throw it away after sailing, is the main force of this rebellion.

Under the banner of exterminating the Dongzhou soldiers, they sent troops to attack the Ba County Taishou Yan who was a representative of the Yizhou local faction, of course, what to say was that Yan Yan betrayed the Yizhou native faction and took refuge in Liu Zhang and the Dongzhou soldiers behind Liu Zhang.

Some people may ask, are these three people in the water in their heads, and they want their own people to beat their own people?

Not really.

Gan Ning, don't look at the place of origin, it is written that he is from Linjiang, Ba County, but in fact, his ancestors are from Nanyang. It's just that for various reasons, he lived in Ba County and gradually became a powerful family in Ba County - it can be seen from this that it is very likely that Gan Ning's ancestors should have served as officials in a certain county in Ba County, so they gradually took root in the local area and spread out, and this is also one of the important reasons for the migration of Chinese surnames, and compared with the migration of displaced people who are led by war and disasters, such a migration method is easier to cultivate a new wang family, so that the migrating surname becomes a powerful local family.

As for Shen Mi and Lou Fa, they are also inextricably linked with the powerful families in Jingzhou, for example, Lou Fa has a very close relationship with Lou Gui, an immortal who is a famous scholar in Nanyang and a self-proclaimed Mengmei monk, and Shen Mi is the same.

In this way, you will know why these people do such funny behavior, and of course, you will be more able to understand why these guys will run to Liu Biao after the defeat and mix well - although for a rebellious guy like Gan Ning, that kind of life like eating and drinking like raising pigs is really suffocating.

In addition, after this battle, Liu Zhang immediately sent Zhao Wei, the leader of the Yizhou native faction and who helped Liu Yan stabilize the foundation of Yizhou's pastoral rule, to Badong under the pretext of rebels avoiding Jingzhou, and appointed him as the general of Zhengdong Zhonglang, and ordered him to attack Liu Biao.

Well, Liu Zhang is also bold, and he actually drove the capital of the two major forces of Dongzhou soldiers and the local faction to the Sanba area in one go and became neighbors, but it seems that Zhao Wei of Padang is obviously not as nourished as Pang Xi of Brazil.

Not to mention the fact that the leaders of the Yizhou native faction were transferred from the center when the Dongzhou soldiers rebelled, it probably doesn't speak for themselves what it represents.

As a result, Zhao Wei was naturally angry enough.

"It's really not good, let's see if we can escape to Xiliang."

"But my father, I heard that Li Xue, who ruled Xiliang, was so murderous that he had to eat more than a dozen people a day to feel happy."

"Maybe it's true, maybe it's fake, it's all those bastards anyway, whether you believe it or not, I don't believe it anymore anyway. Not to mention that even if Li Xue really likes to eat people, at least compared to here, how can Xiliang be much calmer.
