After a short farewell to Cai Wenji, Liu Wei led the army and left Liaocheng.

He originally thought that Zhu Jun would give him a trick to kneel down and admonish, but he didn't.

Even, until he left the uncle, he didn't appear.

Liu Wei not only did not blame Zhu Jun for not sending him off, but he was also a little happy.

It seems that he is running too fast, and this uncle has not reacted.

After all, in less than an hour, he had already sent troops.

In this era of cold weapons, this should be regarded as absolutely fast.

Baima is not far from Liaocheng.

The next afternoon, when the sun was setting and preparing to descend the mountain, Liu Wei led his army to arrive at Baima Tuntianwei.

This is a large camp in Tuntian, which has only been built recently, and all other facilities have not yet been put in place except for the barracks.

Liu Wei didn't alarm the people in Tuntian Wei, but just asked Yinglin to send someone over to check it.

It didn't take long for the people sent by Yinglin to come back.

"Your Majesty, Lu Bu seems to be in a hurry, he led people to loot in the Tuntian camp and then quickly ran south." Yinglin walked into the makeshift camp and said to Liu Wei.

"What about the loss of Tuntian Lieutenant?" Liu Wei asked.

Yinglin took a quick look at Liu Wei's face before he said, "Nearly 1,000 people were killed and more than 2,000 were injured. These people went up to stop Lu Bu with their bare hands, so it was almost a one-sided massacre. Because the White Horse Tuntian Lieutenant is newly built, there is hardly a decent weapon to be found in it, and the farm tools have not yet been sent from Kyoto. ”

Liu Wei's face was gloomy and murderous.

"I thought he was a hero, and I still had some expectations for him. But he treats the people so cruelly, he is a bullshit hero, send out a scout, first figure out his path to the south, if I can't kill this thing, I will be the emperor in vain! Liu Wei clenched his fists and said in a deep voice.

"Yui!" Yinglin responded.

"Wenhe, the purpose." After Yinglin left, Liu Wei said in a deep voice again, "All the people under the Baima Tuntian Captain have given ten stone of food and five hundred money, and the number of people killed and injured in this battle has been doubled. After the land is cleared, they can give priority to five acres of fertile land. ”

Jia Xu, who had just picked up his pen, heard the content of the emperor's dictation, and hesitated slightly, "Your Majesty, ten stone of grain per capita is a bit too much, just this reward, I'm afraid I will have to take out 20% of the grain in the grain depot of the single father, and there are now more than 10,000 people in Tuntianwei here." ”

Liu Wei Weileng, "Are there so many people already?" That's ten stone per person, which is indeed a bit much. ”

Hundreds of thousands of stone of grain were smashed down, which is a big number.

"Change it, five ...... per capita Two stones. Liu Wei thought about the possible battle next.

In the end, I chose to search a little bit, and each person was rewarded with 200 catties to encourage it.

He also wanted to be generous, but his strength didn't allow it.

"Yui!" Jia Xu replied and started writing.

"They are bare-handed, but they still bravely choose to go forward and succeed, and they should become a model for all the Tuntian captains and people in the world." Liu Wei said to himself.

This is the reason why he invested so much money and wanted to reward the people of Baima Tuntian.

After this holy decree, the top and bottom of the White Horse Tuntian Lieutenant were boiling.

The people, who were originally in grief, suddenly felt that everything they had done was worth it.

The heroic righteousness of a common people, being able to reach the heavens, and receiving the reward from the emperor for this, is a thing that is enough to heal the pain in their hearts, and even glorify the lintel.

The next day, the detective returned with the information he had found.

"Your Majesty, Lu Bu has already passed Yan County and gone to the sour date. Looking at the direction he walked, he probably wanted to go south to Yuzhou. Yinglin hurriedly walked into the camp and said to Liu Wei.

"Let's go!" Liu Wei didn't have any nonsense, and directly ordered the troops.

Lu Bu had already advanced them by three days on the journey, and if he wanted to shorten the distance between the two sides, he couldn't delay it at all.

When Liu Wei led the army out of the camp, suddenly the road was full of people.

At a glance, there is no end in sight.

"What are they doing here?" Liu Wei was a little puzzled.

Jia Xu looked at it for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, the people should have heard the drums of the soldiers going out and came to see Your Majesty." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, they don't know that I'm here, how could they be here to see me!" Liu Wei didn't want to cause too much of a sensation, so as not to affect the march, so he said to Jia Xu, "You go and deal with it, and then we will hurry as soon as possible." ”

"Yui!" Jia Xu responded.

Jia Xu went out for a while, and quickly turned back, "Your Majesty, the people have prepared food and want to give it to the soldiers." ”

"Cast it with a peach, repay it with a plum, this is the simple people. They always have the court in their hearts, and those who harm the court, but in turn think that the dynasty is guilty, are those who hold power. Liu Wei looked at the people who came to see off the army, and suddenly felt very deeply.

"Let the soldiers take it, and tell the people that the reward I promised them is on its way, and it will be delivered to them in a few days."

"Yui!" Jia Xu responded with a clenched fist and rode away again.

After a while, the people who were huddled together suddenly fell to their knees like a tidal wave.

"Ten thousand years of my emperor!"

The sound of tens of thousands of people together is like a tsunami of mountains and a tsunami.

"This Jia Xu!" Liu Wei scolded in a low voice, looking at the ragged people, his eyes were a little moist.

He is a child who came out of ordinary people.

He understands very well the people who have no power and just want to make their lives a little better.

What they want in their lives is really simple.

Food and clothing are full and warm, and it is just safe and sound.

But such a wish, in such a world, is almost an unattainable luxury.

But even so, they who live in misery still support this community.

Liu Wei suppressed the mixed tastes in his heart, and rode out of the barracks.

"I will give you justice and a day of peace. I'm still young, so please give me a little time. Liu Wei shouted loudly.

He didn't say anything big, just said the simplest and most unpretentious thoughts in his heart.

This is what he said to the people of Baima Tuntianwei, and it was also said to himself.

Perhaps, this is the true meaning of him swimming upstream from the long river of time and space.

This was the first time that the people had seen a living emperor.

They shouted excitedly and stiffly, their voices muffled.

But Liu Wei heard it, and the respect in their mouths.

"Let's go." Liu Wei instructed Yinglin, who was guarding him.

"Yui!"

The drums beat suddenly, and the mighty people slowly gave way to a wide avenue.

Liu Wei rode his horse slowly, passing through the guards of the people.

"Ten thousand years of my emperor!"

The jumble of voices converged again into a loud torrent.

This is probably the only thing they can shout out, the will that can be conveyed.

Liu Weiqiang smiled happily and wiped the moist corners of his eyes.

In the once peaceful and prosperous era, Liu Wei once felt that he should be a hard-hearted person.

But looking at the life of the Han people, he tossed and turned countless times and couldn't sleep.

The mighty army of prisoners gradually left the sight of the people of Baima Tuntian and turned into a big black spot in the sky.

In order to shorten the distance between him and Lu Bu, the army did not camp again in the following time.

marched all the way to the sour date.

When the soldiers were tired, Liu Wei only ordered everyone to get off their horses and rest in place for a while to replenish their physical strength.

Then we continued our journey.

This rapid march allowed them to arrive at the sour jujube a full day earlier than the original time.

This is the second time Liu Wei has come to the sour jujube.

It's a big change here compared to the last time.

The fields are level, and the houses are like them.

Liu Wei just enjoyed the beautiful pastoral scenery for a moment, and Yinglin suddenly hurriedly rode his horse and ran over, "Your Majesty, Lu Bu seems to have noticed us and is killing us!" I also ask Your Majesty to quickly take refuge in the city of sour dates, and let the last general deal with Lu Bu. ”

When Liu Wei heard this, he immediately looked excited, "Good news, I almost broke my leg in order to chase him, but I didn't expect him to send it to the door by himself, which is great." I led the army to come here just to fight, to hide on the sidelines and watch the excitement, why did I come? ”

"Don't even persuade me, give me my guard of honor! Labor and management will personally use as bait today to catch Lu Bu! ”

Yinglin was taken aback.

I came here to persuade you to hide, but it's better for you not to hide, but also to beat out the honor guard?

He hurriedly looked at Jia Xu for help, and made a frantic gesture.

Hurry up and persuade you, Your Majesty is really crazy!

Jia Xu smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, there's no need to fight the honor guard, right?" Too dangerous. Lu Bu is brave, in case he desperately wants to hurt His Majesty, the ministers may not have time to save him. ”

"Put away your little guts, I'm not scared, Xiyuan has been practicing martial arts for two years, and today I'm just trying to see how powerful he Lu Bu is." Liu Wei said in a shocking voice, his eyes flashing with a strong belligerent flame.

"Your Majesty, you can't mess around, if something goes wrong with you, the last general really doesn't know how to explain!" Yinglin was about to cry, he looked at Jia Xu again and again, and said to Liu Wei.

But he continued to seem to be thinking about something, and he didn't pay attention to Yinglin's request for advice at all.

"If something goes wrong with me, who do you want to explain? That's it, give me the guard of honor! Liu Wei said in a retortive tone, "This is an order!" ”

Jia Xu finally seemed to come back to his senses, shook his head at Yinglin, and then arched his hand to Liu Wei and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers dare to borrow Your Majesty's honor guard!" ”

"What do you do?" Liu Weihu looked at Jia Xu suspiciously.

Jia Xu chuckled, "Your Majesty is thoughtful, the honor guard should indeed be fought, but Your Majesty should be a little farther away from the honor guard, and General Yinglin can send one or two capable generals to hide in the honor guard and lure Lu Bu to take the bait." ”

"If Lu Bu knows that it is Your Majesty who personally leads the army to pursue, he should not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"While Lu Bu was chasing the guard of honor, our army suddenly attacked, and there should be no suspense in this battle."

Seeing this, Yinglin also hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Jia Shizhong's plan is second!" ”

Although Jia Xu's suggestion is not what Yinglin really wants.

But compared to the emperor personally luring Lu Bu with a guard of honor, this is already a good plan to turn around.

"Okay, so be it." Liu Wei looked at Yinglin as if he was trying to admonish him, so he had to take a step back.

"Report!"

The scout horse sent out happened to come back all the way at this time.

The knight on the horse quickly dismounted a few steps away from Liu Wei and rushed over, "Your Majesty, Lu Bu has about three thousand horses, and it is less than twenty miles away from here. ”

Jia Xu observed the surrounding terrain, pointed to a relatively gentle mountain top, and said to Liu Wei: "Your Majesty, you can place the honor guard on the top of that mountain and send five hundred soldiers to escort it." ”

"General Yinglin personally led 2,000 soldiers and horses to meet Lu Bu, and then arranged an ambush to hide in Shannan."

"Okay." Liu Wei responded without question.

According to his thoughts, he planned to have a head-to-head with Lu Bu.

But when the combined forces of both sides are less than 10,000 troops, Jia Xu is still ready to use some small means, and Liu Wei has no opinion.

Kills are prioritized, and everything else can be secondary.

And there is no doubt that Liu Wei personally became the ambush soldier on that road.

He personally took Jia Xu and 1,800 cavalry to hide in Shannan.

Liu Wei wanted to replace Yinglin and personally stepped forward to face Lu Bu.

But he knew that it was impossible to achieve, and if he did this, Yinglin and Jia Xu might die in front of him.

The place where Liu Wei is hiding is a peach forest.

On the edge are a dozen or so houses, and it is almost noon, and every household is smoking from the cooking.

Liu Wei sniffed and said with a smile, "I don't know what kind of food they cook, but it smells quite good." ”

"After the harvest of sour jujube this summer, the people have basically recovered some vitality. It should be inhabited by hunters, who farm and hunt at the same time, and their pots should still be a little fishy, and they smell really good. Jia Xu carefully identified the smell of food in the air and said to Liu Wei.

"It's a little meaty, but it's barely alive, and I want them to have meat in their pot all year round." Liu Wei sighed softly.

He thought of the people of Baima Tuntian again.

Of those people, not a single one of a hundred people could be found in complete clothes.

There is still a long way to go!

At this time, a soldier suddenly walked over from behind, "Your Majesty, dozens of people have come, and they have to help us fight, and the general can't persuade him." ”

Liu Wei: ???

Are the people really so enthusiastic now?

The people of Baima Tuntian Wei saw off the army with food in their hands, and when they arrived here, the people had to help fight the war?

"Bring it here." Liu Wei thought for a while and said.

"Yui!"

Not long after the soldier returned, he came with twenty or thirty men wrapped in animal skins, with bows and arrows in their hands, and with short knives of various shapes stuck in their waists.

"Won't you meet His Majesty the Emperor?" The soldier said in a deep voice.

The brave men were suddenly shocked, and hurriedly saluted.

"Get up, get up, come forward and talk back!" Liu Wei shouted.

When the brave men heard that it was the emperor standing on them, they all seemed to be restrained as if they couldn't even walk.

They hesitated with each other and slowly walked in front of Liu Wei, "See you...... I've seen Your Majesty. ”

"Don't be nervous, I don't eat people." Liu Wei smiled, "You have your heart, but you don't have any armor on you, and your weapons are not very sharp, so don't help you fight." ”

"I just wanted to ask, why are you helping in the war?" Liu Wei asked.

二十三名壮勇互相以眼神推诿着，还是站在最前面的那名中年人，憨厚笑道：“回陛下的话，帮朝廷，就是帮我们自己。 ”
