In the north of this Great Chu, there are four states.

It was originally a border fortress.

Defend the north.

The soldiers are general, and there was once a northern iron cavalry guarding the border pass, so that Hu Lu could not step into half a step.

In the early years, the king of Beiyou implemented the strategy of raising border generals in the north.

The soldiers of the four northern states are not only guarding the territory of Great Chu.

It is the land on which they live.

If there are captives, perhaps it will be their land that is burned and plundered.

Therefore, these soldiers are each brave and take the lead, and when they see Hu Lu, they are like being beaten with chicken blood.

The combat effectiveness soared dozens of times.

The Hulu in Mobei were frightened, and they did not dare to come to the border for decades.

However, as the war gradually disappeared.

In addition, the old king of the north has passed away, and the war strategies of the four northern states have gradually been forgotten by the court.

gradually became a land of soldiers, and one after another generals and rich lords were born.

Gradually slacken off the admonition of the king of Beiyou, and snub the soldiers without saying it.

They also wantonly built construction and searched the people's fat.

The four northern states are in a state of collapse.

Fortunately, the Hulu in the desert north have not yet come back.

This makes it quite peaceful.

Only now, after years of famine.

But it was the four states that had been burdened for an unknown amount of time that was finally left with the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Let's not talk about these military lords and rich people one by one, they will not think of disaster relief.

On the contrary, it also imposed taxes on grain and grass, and raised the price of grain and wages.

Let the people of these four states be in a deep situation.

The vast land of abundance back then.

But it has only become today.

Thousands of miles of red land, dry bones and barren mounds, Liao is uninhabited, and there are white bones everywhere.

As a result, a lot of turmoil broke out.

However, in the end, it was the soldiers of the four states who guarded the border passes.

Although he has been neglecting for many years, he also has good combat effectiveness.

Plus well-equipped.

But the rebels didn't make any big waves.

Originally, the court of Emperor Chu did not pay much attention to this, thinking that no matter whether it was a famine or a rebellion.

It's all trivial.

After all, I didn't dislike any big turmoil.

Until the beginning of the year.

Finally, the big bane has appeared.

In Youzhou Collagen County.

A laborer who was pulled over to repair the embankment of the Qing River.

Finally, I couldn't bear the harsh labor, so I just pulled him over and worked for nothing.

didn't even care about food, and after he died, he threw it directly into the Qinghe River as the flesh and blood for damming.

It's tolerable, it's unbearable!

The leader is named Li Changfeng, and he has a lot of prestige in this hard work.

Directly pick up the picks and take the servants to uncover the rod.

directly entered Youzhou Mansion and occupied three or four counties.

And the surrounding counties are also echoing from afar.

For a time, a shocking chaos broke out in the land of the four states.

This frightened the history of the four states.

For fear of entering the ears of Emperor Chu.

Their lives are at stake.

Hurriedly people suppressed.

However, it is also fortunate that this chaos has just started.

It was also quickly suppressed.

However, it was left that Li Changfeng with tens of thousands of troops recruited in the past few months occupied the three counties of collagen.

These three counties are backed by the sea.

Therefore, Da Chu was in a stalemate with it for several months, but he was unable to attack.

On the contrary, there are still small unrest one after another in various places.

Li Changfeng even established himself as the green king of collagen, and he has been dealing with the court for a long time.

And there are also poems and nursery rhymes in the market.

Cattle and sheep were killed, wine was prepared, and the city gate was opened to welcome the green king.

The king of green leads us not to pay for food!

......

Newly entered the boundary of this Liangzhou territory.

Su Xiu hurriedly reined in the horse.

The sight of the sight really shocked him.

Just entered Liangzhou, but there are still occasional people.

I also feel normal.

And so on for miles.

The picture is very different.

Don't say that there are traces of people, looking at it from a distance, it is thousands of miles away.

Large and small villages, almost in ruins.

But the crows are coming.

The wolves gnawed on the bones.

If you look at the sky, the remnant sun is touched.

Reflecting the vast red land.

It felt like the heavens were falling apart.

And the air is confused from time to time with the smell of blood.

"Is this really just a simple famine?"

Su Xiu looked at everything in front of him.

Unconsciously, I was sweating.

Extreme cold, scorching heat, great drought.

Disasters of all kinds are frequent.

That's what led to this scene.

Su Xiu couldn't help but sigh.

There are still more than 80 miles to Liangzhou City.

He only hoped to be able to approach Liangzhou City now.

Some people can be seen.

Otherwise, what a terrible word?

However, in the depths of the Liangzhou realm.

But I don't know whether to say it's disappointment or hope.

It really made Su Xiu see a lot of people.

It's just that they are all carrying a large number of families and bags.

It seems that the refugees are fleeing for their lives.

Stopped a few passing refugees and was questioned.

Only then did Su Xiu learn.

It turned out that turmoil broke out in Liangzhou.

Hundreds of thousands of rebels rose up.

It only took half a month to seize most of the territory of Liangzhou.

These refugees.

They are all suffering from famine.

He had to be forcibly taxed by the government, and he had to pull Zhuang Ding over to fill the army.

They couldn't stand it anymore.

Some joined the rebels.

Some had no choice but to flee away from Liangzhou with their families.

This situation made Su Xiu sigh.

At the same time, it also made him understand thoroughly.

This is the territory of the four northern states.

It seems that it is much more than just a famine.

But Emperor Chu didn't know anything about it.

He didn't want to say anything more to Emperor Chu.

Another reason, I'm afraid, is that the history of the four states is turbulent.

Presumably, it was also secretive, and there was no truth to report it.

"This gang of wine bags and rice bags, in addition to the fish and meat people harming one side, actually concealed the truth."

"If it drags on, presumably these four states have already fallen."

Su Xiu frowned, and immediately hurried to the starry night, rushing towards Liangzhou City.

The next day, at noon.

finally rushed to the end of the month ten miles outside the city of Liangzhou.

The number of refugees fleeing the famine is only a few greater.

However, it made Su Xiu see a different scene.

A team of soldiers and horses from the government.

Hold a long whip and hang a sword at the waist.

but in the midst of the refugees.

Whip after whip on the bodies of the refugees.

The refugees were huddled together one by one, not daring to run away.

At that time, one person came out of the officers and soldiers.

I looked around.

At the same time, he shouted loudly.

"There is an order in the history of the assassin, and you and others are all my people of Liangzhou."

"Now Liangzhou is in trouble, but you are in the desert and fled, is it worthy of Liangzhou, ashamed of the history of assassination, and even more ashamed of Emperor Chu?"

"All strong men over the age of eighteen in the family should join the army to suppress the riot."

"If you dare to flee south again, you will be killed!"

Hearing this, the refugees sighed for a while, but they didn't dare to say more.

But there was an old man who walked up to the official on crutches.

"Master Jun, if you are doing well, just let us go."

"The old man is seventy and six this year, and he has four sons in the family, and three of them died of starvation in three years."

"The only youngest son left this year was arrested and sent to the army."

"Life and death are still unknown."

"This daughter is the only one who is old, Master Jun, you should be merciful."

The old man was in tears.
