Chapter 229: Lonely and untrustworthy
On the second day of the Yan army's entry into the city, the proclamation of lifting the ban on the street was conveyed by the government officials shouting along the street. The people in the city are still a little strict when they go to the streets, and when they reach a certain hour, they will return immediately, but they can already let people go to the streets to do business, which is already considered a great relaxation.
At present, the four gates of Luyang are completely controlled in the city, and the household registration of officials in the city has also fallen into the hands of Su Chen, and this afternoon, a large number of Yan troops began to move.
First of all, all the wounded soldiers in the city were transferred to the barracks built outside the city, this transfer was just a very normal thing, and did not attract too many people's attention, followed by the opening of the warehouse to release grain, this move came very quickly, for the rice merchants in the city undoubtedly made them a little busy, and for the displaced people and people in the city, it was really happy.
The high prices for a month have almost made them only eat one meal a day, and now that the price of food has fallen, they are the ones who have benefited.
Although there is still resistance to the fall of Luyang, it is not as strong as before.
In the next few days, order in the city began to gradually restore, the ban was gradually completely removed, and the soldiers of the Yan Kingdom on the streets gradually decreased, and the maintenance of law and order was handed back to the hands of Luyang Ling.
The feeling to the people in the city is that except for the emperor is gone, everything is as usual, and nothing has changed much.
There were also many porridge shacks outside the city, and the displaced people trapped in the city began to gather outside the city, received help, and then received relief food and seeds distributed by the government and returned to their hometowns one after another.
A large number of displaced people left the city, the streets became clean again, and the shops began to open, many people who stayed at home for many days invited relatives and friends to restaurants and tea houses to gather, for this time the Yan army entered the city, occasionally talked about a sentence or two, but did not say too much, for fear of being heard by the secret agents of the Yan State and causing trouble.
But then, many people in the city noticed that there were Yan troops making trouble outside the city and fighting, but some people carefully observed and found that most of the contradictions and conflicts were those who were wealthy and big, and unexpectedly, it was those big families who caused trouble first, probably afraid of provoking these Yan generals, and finally compensated a lot of things.
Even included the field deed, give less, directly the army to the door, rudely take away a part, give more, then nothing happens, and many soldiers come to call them brothers and sisters, and make friends.
It's incredible.
However, in this complicated information, another unknown thing is happening, in the west of Luyang City, between the roads are countless people who meander forward occasionally hear the sound of swords colliding, following the reputation, but there is no trace of the figure.
However, in the mountains and forests that they couldn't see, a person ran away in front of him, his robe was full of cuts scraped by tree branches, it was Xiao Moyu who disguised himself out of the city after the ban was lifted, he fled for a while, stopped, touched his chest, and his face suddenly changed.
Something is lost.
He was mixed among the homeless people this time, but he was targeted by Pei Min, who had been secretly hiding, even if King Xia entered the city, he did not come out as soon as possible.
As early as when he was besieging the city before, he had already noticed Xiao Moyu, for the disciple who had heard of this Wildfire Sect leader and Taishi Xiao Wenbi when he was in Yan Kingdom, after the Yan Palace was broken, he stole the "General's Night Banquet Map" from Xia Wangzu and disappeared, and now he has seen it, as the leader of the embroidery department, he can let go of this opportunity to lurk in the dark.
But it's a pity, trailing out of the city for less than three miles, or being noticed by the other party Pei Min's tracking, the two chased and fled, shuttling in the mountains and forests, Xiao Moyu is good at concealment, although the martial arts are not as good as Xiao Wenbi back then, but they are not weak, especially not in love with war, and run away without two moves as soon as they fight.
For a while, Pei Min couldn't do anything about him, and the last time he fought, he finally injured the other party and cut his placket, seeing Xiao Mo fleeing, Pei Min stopped and looked down at what fell out of the opponent's placket on the ground.
A scroll of paintings.
"General's Night Banquet Picture...... "Pei Min didn't open it, and he knew that it could be carried by the other party, and it must be the painting scroll." I can't imagine that the goods will be returned to their original owners. ”
He weighed the scroll, put it into his chest, inserted the ancient sword back into the sheath, turned around and left the forest, anyway, that Xiao Moyu, just like a monkey, escaped and didn't know where to go, so he simply took the things back to Luyang and handed them over to King Xia with his own hands.
……
The sky was tilting, and it was already afternoon, and the small-scale unrest that had lasted for several days was over, and a cartload of boxes was pulled into the barracks and mysteriously placed on the school grounds, attracting many curious onlookers of the Yan army.
However, they were all stopped by the armor of the Xia King, and they were not allowed to open it for the time being.
This order made the proud soldiers of the Xiliang Army even more curious, and they gathered over, clamoring to see what was in the box, and soon, more boxes were brought in from outside and stacked together with this side.
After that, the Xiliang army was called outside the camp, and at the same time, the soldiers of the other four armies of Youyan, Bingzhou, Yizhou, and Qingzhou were also called over and assembled in the field, and even the wounded soldiers who could not move were carried over by their comrades.
There are craftsmen here who have built a simple platform.
The dusk of the setting sun was shining from the west, Su Chen was riding on horseback, talking to Zhuge Liang who was pushed by Anu Hu on the side, he came from Guangfu City with Zhou Cang in the past few days, and the words mentioned at this time were Tian Qi.
"King, in fact, there is no need to be in such a hurry, when Liang was in Guangfu, he had already thought of this strategy, but unfortunately it was still a step too late."
He sat on a four-wheeled bicycle and shook a feather fan with some pity.
Although things were done in a hurry, Su Chen didn't regret it, but he still asked curiously, "What strategy did the prime minister have in mind?" ”
"Liang thinks that he should be like Emperor Qin, first accept the Wei State into the territory, implement the currency of the Yan State, and use mild means to quietly draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle for these big families and wealthy gentry!"
Su Chen stopped his horse and looked at Zhuge Liang in the car in a daze, "Prime Minister, you are a little vicious...... I feel more vicious than Jia Xu and Li Ru. ”
This is equivalent to an economic war, and if this happens, those wealthy families will lose their skin if they don't die.
"Huh...... These are not enough. Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan, "Where a scheming person has a lot of intrigues and tricks, it only depends on whether he is willing to be ruthless and do these things." ”
Su Chen nodded, his eyes looked into the distance, and the outline of the military formation was already visible, "Although the prime minister's plan is good, he can't wait that long, and the soldiers also need to get something to boost their morale." Lone can't break his word, even if these wealthy gentry and big families, it doesn't hurt for the big family to hate Lonely. ”
After saying that, with a flick of the whip, the horse galloped up, and single-handedly rushed into the sight of the soldiers of the army over there, and the prancing horse rushed up the steps, urging the horse to stand on the high platform.
"Soldiers, lonely sons!!"
Su Chen's voice resounded majestically across the field, shaking the sky and clouds. In the rear, carts pulled out the wooden boxes and placed them under the high platform one by one, one of which was carried to the high platform by two soldiers and placed on one side.
"Do you know what's in it?!"
……
The western clouds rolled, and the magnificent glow shone on the city after the soldiers faded, Fang Xuejun was much thinner, she walked through a low groan, she was busy in the wounded barracks in Guangfu City, her simple dress was stained with dirt and blood, her hair was a little messy on her shoulders, she occasionally straightened up, wiped her sideburns, and sweat beads oozed from her forehead.
On the ground trampled by the soldiers, a group of captives walked hundreds of miles, they looked ahead, and heard that Luyang had fallen and the emperor was dead, most of them did not have sadness in their hearts, but just looked around blankly.
Zhang Yi walked at the head of the city, looking at the captives in the distance, he already knew about King Xia's fulfillment of his promise, and looked at the south and couldn't help laughing.
……
The wind blew through the field, rolling up the dust, and on the war horse standing on the high platform, Su Chen's voice was still majestic and strong.
"In this box, there is a lonely promise! Do you remember the promise he made to you when he went south? Lone Zeng made a bold statement, to let you cross the Hunhe River, have your own land in this Central Plains, and let your children and grandchildren live here, Lone...... No broken promise! ”
Su Chen turned over and dismounted, strode over, kicked open the lid of the box, and took out a thick stack of papers from it and held it above his head, "This is prepared for you by Lonely, and you deserve it!" And there's more to come! ”
The soldiers on the high platform also walked excitedly to the wooden boxes, opened all the lids, and there were bundles of field deeds stamped with the seal of the government inside.
"Ten thousand years of the king!"
"Long live the King!"
In the midst of the army formations, countless soldiers raised the hilts of their swords above their heads, their faces flushed with excitement, and they shouted hysterically.
……
Xiao Mo, who was a lost dog, knelt down on the hillside, looking at the sunset, according to his empty chest, which was the place where the painting scroll was once hidden.
He clenched his fists and kept pounding the ground, looking up to the sky and yelling in grief: "No!! ”
Outside the mountain, fast horses, carrying a huge amount of information transmitted from Luyang, were quickly sent to various states and places. When the soldiers and horses from other states received the news that the emperor was dead, the lord sat on the horse's back, his eyes were blank, and some were ecstatic, and turned the soldiers and horses back to his state and county.
……
"Not only you, but also those soldiers who fought for their children and grandchildren and fell in the middle!"
Su Chen grabbed the Tian Qi in his hand and walked to the front of the stage, the wind blew through the flag, and in the sound of hunting, he slowly closed his eyes, "Did you hear me...... In this wind came the comrades who died on the journey, and they also cheered. ”
As he spoke, he opened his eyes and threw the thick stack of deeds in his hand into the sky.
Su Chen spread out his hands and watched countless Tian Qi flying in the wind, falling like butterflies.
"Soldiers of all armies...... This will be our ...... for the rest No one can take it away, and if anyone wants to take away the land watered with blood from us, we will use our swords and soldiers to tell them! ”
His voice was strong and loud.
"What is war!"
Sky cloud Shu roll.
And on this day, the news of the attack of Luyang and the death of the emperor of Wei State has finally been conveyed to various places through various channels, and the states and counties along the way are all shocked and frightened, afraid to face the soldiers of Yan State.
And the surrounding four countries, the whole country shook.
The Central Plains power, which has been together for hundreds of years, is suddenly gone.
Recently, I have talked a lot with the editor, and I don't feel as attractive as the first volume.
It should not have made the dispute touching.
