Chapter 48: Gossip
At this time, there were also many Xinye believers, most of whom were from farmers, and they were very happy after Zhang Jiao's 'point'.
But on the way north, Cheng Liu found that more and more poor people were unclothed and faltering, and refugees and displaced people formed a miserable landscape.
On the longest official road, Cheng Liu witnessed thousands of people heading to Jizhou, one after another, mightily.
Sweet potato and Xia Cicada sat in the carriage, facing the scene in front of them, the visual impact was too shocking, and they hurriedly lowered the curtain.
On Cheng Liu's carriage, Xu Shu secretly clenched his fists while watching.
"What a 'the sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, and the world is peaceful'!"
After Xu Shu finished sneering, Cheng Liu hurriedly comforted: "At least Jizhou still has hope of survival, Luoyang City looks glamorous, but it is already corrupt inside, and the officials and people inside may not be as good as the faith of these refugees." ”
The refugee procession was at a glance, but Cheng Liu couldn't delay too long on the road, so he stepped up his advance.
But at this moment, the carriage suddenly tilted to the side, as if because the tethered horse was out of control, and the whole carriage was about to turn over.
Fortunately, the driver was an old driver, and he pulled the reins to prevent the tragedy of overturning.
"Who are you?!"
The coachman was furious, although the scene in front of him was shocking enough, but these were at most paupers, compared to the one sitting in the carriage, it was simply a day and a place.
Cheng Liu lifted the curtain and found that the man standing in front of him had a yellow face and thin muscles, and he looked like he hadn't eaten for a few days, but his eyes were bright, and he looked a little bright.
"Who am I? Compared with the big officials in the carriage, the grass people are naturally ants! ”
This was said very imposingly, Cheng Liu jumped out of the carriage directly, although there were many refugees, but they all made a detour, only this person stood in front, as if he was not afraid of Cheng Liu's soldiers.
"What's going on?"
Cheng Liu asked directly.
"As I passed, the carriage suddenly turned to the left and almost hit me, but I didn't get angry, but the coachman didn't know how to lift it, and roared angrily."
Cheng Liu suddenly felt that this person was a little interesting, and then asked, "This official road is so big, why do you want to go with the carriage?" ”
"On the other side are people fleeing, and I'm not."
Cheng Liu was slightly surprised.
"You're not? Then why did you go to Jizhou? ”
The man snorted coldly, turned around and said without looking back: "I don't have to worry about what I do, if you are rich and care about the idle work of my people, it is better to give some food to these refugees." Jizhou is far away, not to mention three or five days! ”
Seeing his back getting farther and farther away, a name suddenly appeared in Cheng Liu's mind.
Tian Feng!
Back then, Tian Feng pretended to be a beggar to seek Mingjun, and finally followed Yuan Shao, but he was still unsuccessful.
But in the imperial court, because of resentment of the eunuchs in power, it was difficult to be loyal, so he resigned and went home.
But before the time came, this scene was staged in advance!
Cheng Liu hurriedly got into the carriage, and then shouted at the coachman: "Quick, catch up with that person!" ”
The coachman was a little ignorant, but he still waved the reins subconsciously.
Tian Feng's speed was not fast, maybe the clothes on his body were too tattered, so he simply took off one side, wrapped his waist, and only bare his shoulders, looking from behind, there was a bit of a non-mainstream taste.
Cheng Liu looked at his back, it was hard to imagine that it was because of this person that he pulled Yuan Shao back from the ghost gate several times.
and is upright, after stepping down from the official title at this time, it can be seen that he is still neither humble nor arrogant in the face of officials, and he is still uneasy in his chest.
The carriage quickly followed, Tian Feng turned his head to look, only to see the carriage following again, standing directly to the side, wanting to wait for the carriage to pass first.
But unexpectedly, the carriage stopped right next to him.
"Brother, it's a long way to go, why don't you get in the carriage and rest?"
Tian Feng pursed the corners of his lips: "The official is on the same road?" ”
Cheng Liu coughed dryly: "Almost." ”
Tian Feng was not polite, and jumped directly into the carriage.
Xinye is very far away from all the counties in Jizhou, but Cheng Liu can't manage so much at this time, so let's talk about Tian Feng first.
After he sat down, Cheng Liu asked directly, "May I ask what should I call Brother Tai?" It's a long way to go, so you can't just say a word, right? ”
Tian Feng replied directly: "Tian Feng." ”
As Cao Cao's person who wants to say 'just and committed', Tian Feng doesn't seem to have taken Cheng Liu seriously at all.
It is understandable that even today, the decline of the Han dynasty is inseparable from the officials of the DPRK and China, not to mention the local officials, who dare not do anything serious except to make a lot of money.
It's strange that someone like Tian Feng can give a good face.
"Brother Tian, have you ever heard the story of Taiping Dao?"
Since he was going to Jizhou, Cheng Liu had to test whether he had heard of Zhang Jiao first, and then he had the bottom in his heart.
I never thought that Tian Feng directly threw over a book, and the cover read: Taiping Technique.
This book played a major role in Zhang Jiao's hands, and it was precisely because of this book that it directly included the central idea of Taiping Dao, and it was one of the few weapons that Zhang Jiao could use at this time.
Cheng Liu pretended to flip through it casually, and then asked, "Brother Tian has read all the contents of this book?" ”
Tian Feng did not shy away from it, and said directly: "I understand it to the general effect, but it is not in harmony with my ideas, so I should just pass the time." ”
Xu Shu on the carriage was slightly surprised, this book is a strange book, but he has always heard of it before, and he has not really read it, at this time, Tian Feng commented like this, and his heart suddenly reduced the favorability of this book a lot.
Zhang Jiao, such a prestigious person, if he knew that Tian Feng commented on this book, he would probably vomit three liters of blood in anger.
Cheng Liu coughed dryly and said softly: "Since this is the case, it is not influenced by this book, so naturally it is not because of the Taiping Dao factor?" Brother Tian went to Jizhou this time, it couldn't be because the fleeing people went there and followed the flow of people, right? ”
Tian Feng smiled.
"Although we have no ambitions, but we are not drifters, Jizhou encompasses the land of Hanzhong, there are richer beliefs, Tian just wants to see, what kind of person can accumulate so many people's hearts, and how to use tactics to achieve the slogan he shouted in his mouth."
Cheng Liu was a little surprised, Tian Feng's thinking was very advanced.
At the beginning of the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was still alive, some people had already put forward this theory, what are the measures to really benefit the people, such as the belief of the poor people, etc.
