Zu Ti, as usual, trained the soldiers, although he was wary of Liu Tai, but he was not too vigilant, so as not to fall into unnecessary vigilance between the two sides, thus forming a confrontation, and even wasting food, after all, he was somewhat restrained in the use of food now.

"Brother, brother!" Zu Yue came quickly and said to Zu Li, "Li Ju, who is stationed in Xingyang, has sent news that Liu Tai has sent a large amount of grain to us.

said that now that the Han King Liu Tai has restored the Han family in Hebei, he can't bear to see the people displaced.

Now give us 500 stone of grain, hoping that we can open a porridge shed to relieve the people in winter! ”

"What!" When Zu Ti heard Zu Yue's words, he couldn't help but stand up immediately, "What about people now?!" ”

"I was detained by Li Ju, and I'm still in Xingyang!" Zu Yue said to Zu Li.

Zu Ti couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard Zu Yue's words, and said:

"Fortunately, Li Shihui is a strategic, ambitious, and knowledgeable person.

You immediately sent someone to send 500 stone of grain to Li Ju, and asked him to open a porridge shed on the spot to help the people.

At the same time, I personally went to inform Liu Tai's envoy, saying that I had received my heart, and after expressing my gratitude, I asked the envoy to return to Hebei! ”

"Brother, this is five hundred stone grain!" Zu Yue heard Zu Li's words and said, "Let's just forget it, we have to take out five hundred stones to give that Li Ju, you're afraid you're crazy!" ”

"Confused!" When Zu Ti heard Zu Yue's words, he said, "If Liu Tai's envoy really sends the five hundred stone grain to me, His Majesty will be afraid that I will hold the military power, and I will not be able to speak clearly when the time comes!" ”

Zu Yue heard Zu Li's words and quickly reacted, and immediately sent people to deliver food to Li Ju.

To be honest, Li Ju was a little confused.

Although he was resourceful and ambitious, he intercepted these grains given by Liu Tai.

It's not that he doesn't want to be greedy for this batch of grain, but he knows that this is given to Zu by Liu Tai.

Regardless of whether Zu Ti wants to accept it or not, it is better not to move this kind of thing on the surface, because it is too easy to check.

As for why Liu Tai's envoy was intercepted, it was natural whether to let him go, or to wait for Zu Ti to speak.

Otherwise, Zu Ti suspected that he would do with Liu Tai and Li Xia!

Although Li Ju strictly belongs to one party, who let Zu Ti recover Luoyang, and Zu Ti himself is more attractive, Li Ju also chooses to attach himself to Zu Ti's name.

Soon, Zu Yue came with Zu Li's order, and he also sent 500 stone of grain.

To tell the truth, the five hundred stone grain was sent out to build a porridge shed, and Zu Yue himself felt a little distressed.

But Zu Yue understood that since Liu Tai had smashed the money and food, he must follow, otherwise he would be won away by Liu Tai, so Zu Yue saw Li Ju with a black face.

"I don't know where the messenger of the puppet is?" Zu Yue went straight to the point after meeting Li Ju.

"The second general wants to see the envoy, please come with me!" Li Ju didn't want to get involved in this matter, so he brought Zu Yue over earlier.

Zu Yue looked at Li Ju and said, "What has this hypocrite's envoy done these days?" ”

When Li Ju heard Zu Yue's words, he smiled bitterly: "After being intercepted by a certain person, they went out every day to spread rumors, saying that Liu Tai had sent food, and the porridge shed would be opened for them to eat in the near future."

Some people even say that now Hebei is Liu Tai's family, if you can't survive in Henan, even if you go to Hebei, you can live when you get to Hebei! ”

"Evil words confuse the public, and their hearts can be punished!" Zu Yue couldn't help but say when he heard Li Ju's words.

"Who's to say it isn't!" When Li Ju heard Zu Yue's words, he sighed, "The two generals will come a few days late, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on, so I will either send them back or send them directly to Zu Tingshi!" ”

Zu Yue said to Li Ju: "Please also rest assured that my brother also sent five hundred stones of grain to the general."

I hope that Li Tingshi will build a porridge shed to appease the people, and he will definitely not let the hypocrite's plan to disturb people's hearts succeed! ”

When Li Ju heard Zu Yue swear like this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "That's very good." ”

Soon Zu Yue saw the envoy of the Han Dynasty, who was no longer Wang Ming who was sent last time, but Cui Yue.

After a formulaic conversation with each other, Cui Yue didn't insist on anything, and quickly agreed to Zu Yue's words, handed over the grain in Xingyang, and then Cui Yue left with the messenger group.

As for the displaced people who are willing to keep up, Cui Yue does not refuse, because after the displaced people arrive on the north bank of the Yellow River, not to mention Yecheng, which is preparing to dig the Yongji Canal, even in this place of Ji County, it will take a lot of manpower to widen the river channel and guide the flow of water.

So Liu Tai doesn't care about the homeless at all, and even the more homeless the better!

Zu Yue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that he had successfully persuaded Cui Yue to leave.

To tell the truth, Liu Tai's envoy made so many things in Xingyang alone, and if this envoy wants to get all the way from Xingyang to Zu Ti, it is really not something that can be blocked by 500 stone of grain.

"Liu Tai is really difficult to deal with, just this flaw that is not a flaw, it almost caused big trouble for my brother!"

At this time, Zu Yue couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and even felt Liu Tai's difficulty.

Anyway, this errand has been completed, looked at Li Ju, sighed at his good luck, left the food, and then went to reply to Zu Ti.

Li Ju couldn't help but say at this moment: "In other words, this thousand grains will be handed over to me to deal with?" ”

"This Han King Liu Tai and Thorn Shi Zu are fighting each other, but it is cheaper for us!" Li Ju's lord Bo Gou said in a distant voice.

"This is more or less a good thing...... Li Ju suddenly came back to his senses and said to Gou Yuan, "What did you just say?" Han King Liu Tai? ”

"Hmm!" Gou Yuan nodded, not knowing what he said wrong, and looked at Li Ju with some curiosity.

And at this moment, Li Ju didn't say much, only sighed, "It's just that I haven't heard the title of King Han for a long time!" ”

"Now that Liu Tai occupies the land of Hebei, although it is normal to call the emperor a Han king, like Liu Yao was not called the King of Qin, and Shi Le was not called the King of Zhao, but he just changed his name!" Gou Yuan didn't really care.

"Liu Tai changed his name to the King of Han, so is this Han the Huns, or the Han of the Han people?!" Li Ju couldn't help but sigh at this time.

"Whether it is the big Han of the Huns or the big Han of the Han people, what does it have to do with our people, it's just to save a small life in this troubled era!"

Gou Yuan said to Li Ju, "Today's delivery of these grains can make the people have a good meal, why think about such distant things!" At least the big man has changed Liu Tai to be the master, and the battle can be a little less! ”

"Indeed!" Li Ju nodded approvingly when he heard this, "In this world, it's always good to be able to fight less!" ”

Cui Yue soon returned to Yecheng and reported the situation to Liu Tai.

Liu Tai said thoughtfully, "I was intercepted by Xingyang Taishou Li Ju, so the spread range is only in the land of Xingyang?" ”

"It's the minister's incompetence and failure to complete the mission!" Cui Yue looked at Liu Tai's posture and hurriedly said.

"It's nothing, it's just an attempt with five hundred stone of grain!"

Liu Tai waved his hand at what was in front of him, to be honest, Liu Tai didn't care very much.

Because it only takes one year for grain to come out, but it takes sixteen years for people to grow up.

So the cost of all other supplies is nothing compared to people.

Any plan that can reduce the resistance of the other party, I am willing to give it a try, even if it has no effect this time, but it will be effective in the future.

And just when Liu Tai wanted Cui Yue to retreat, Cui Yue couldn't help but muster up the courage to say to Liu Tai: "King Qiqi, the minister has other things to report!" ”

"Oh, let's talk about it!" Liu Tai heard Cui Yue's words and said to Cui Yue.

Cui Yue took a deep breath and glanced at Wen Qiao, who was not far from Liu Tai's side, but saw Wen Qiao nodding encouragingly.

Cui Yue said: "King Qiyu, the minister found in Xingyang City that Li Ju is quite popular and has great prestige in Xingyang.

He built a camp on the bank of the river, and although the camp was buried by snow a lot, I asked someone to inquire about the newly cultivated fields.

Obviously, Li Ju has the intention of resisting for a long time, I heard that he fought with Liu Yao a few years ago, but he was a general.

But in the final analysis, he is the assassin of Sizhou, and he and Zu Ti are not strictly subordinate to each other.

The minister thinks that we can win over Li Ju, if we can win him over, we will definitely break Zu Li's arm! ”

"Oh?" Liu Tai heard Cui Yue's words, and when the time came, he thought about it and said slowly,

"This matter is in one direction, and first to collect information about Li Ju, if Xingyang can get it, we will have a foothold on the other side of the Yellow River, this is indeed an attempt that can be tried.

We are in the same market with Zu Ti, and the location is in Xingyang, which is also convenient for us to win over Li Ju!

Of course, it doesn't matter if Li Ju can't win over, you can try other generals around him. ”

"The minister understands!" When Cui Yue heard Liu Tai's words, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and hurriedly replied to Liu Tai.

After Liu Tai asked Cui Yue to leave, his eyes fell on Wen Qiao, and then said, "Taizhen, do you think this matter is feasible?" ”

Wen Qiao replied to Liu Tai: "The minister thinks that Zu Ti is deeply favored by Sima Rui, so he will naturally not betray Jin lightly, but Li Ju and the king have no enmity or grudge, so they can be friends first."

I don't expect to be able to work now, as long as the soldiers point out in the future, so that he and his subordinates will be shaken, then it is worth planning a thing or two! ”

"Yes!" Liu Tai nodded and said, "This matter can be handed over to Cui Yue to operate, and you can assist from the side." ”

Liu Tai's implication is to allow Wen Qiao to tilt Cui Yue to a certain extent in terms of resources.

After Wen Qiao arrived at Liu Tai's side, he was nominally only the main secretary, but in fact he began to be in charge of intelligence.

This is the right to be split from Chu Biao, so Wen Qiao's status is after Chu Biao.

Chu Yi has no objection to this matter, after all, Chu Yu is now expanding with the expansion of the territory he controls, and there are more and more government affairs piled up on him.

Compared with only Qingzhou, Youzhou and half of Jizhou, the number of states and counties under control has directly doubled.

Even if Chu Biao is a government official who belongs to the type of volume king, he is a little unbearable.

And Liu Tai naturally wouldn't use Chu Yu as Zhuge Liang, and let Chu Yu do everything.

With Wen Qiao coming over, it is to split the intelligence system in Chu Yu's hands, and Chu Yu will naturally not object.

Because in addition to the usual government affairs, he now needs to build a new meritorious system, and he really has a lot of things to do.

can share some of the burden on his body, Chu Yu understands that this is no harm to him.

Soon as this incident passed, both sides of the Yellow River could not help but maintain relative peace.

The business travelers between the two sides also began to step on the winter ice and snow under the tacit understanding of both sides.

It can only be said that the low temperature brought by the Xiaoice period is not completely without benefits, at least the ice surface of the Yellow River is frozen quite solid, and the people come and go between the banks of the Yellow River on their own legs, and do not need to borrow fishing boats.

Although the two sides have opened a commercial and trade market, the two sides are not allowed to travel around, and can only arrive at the designated place for mutual market.

Leaving the place where the two sides traded will be treated as a spy on the military intelligence.

But in any case, as there was no need for war on both sides of the Yellow River, the two sides maintained peace, which was a rare peace in recent years, but it was quite rare for the people.

Some of the people who fled to Xingyang with Li Ju more or less wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to return to the other side of the Yellow River to have a look, and some even wanted to smuggle home.

So at this moment, the people who come and go naturally increase, even if the wind and snow are drifting, they can't stop the enthusiasm of the people!

Li Ju stood on the city wall of Xingyang, watching the people go towards the north bank of the Yellow River, but he also had a little sigh in his heart.

To be honest, if he was just an ordinary person, I am afraid that he would be able to go back to his ancestral land.

After all, with the exchange with Liu Tai, Li Ju already knew that Liu Tai's attitude towards ordinary people, as long as they were people, as long as they worked for Liu Tai, then they would have to eat a mouthful of food, so all the people who were willing to go back, Liu Tai would accept them.

And Li Ju also wants to go home and go back to the ancestral land of the Li family to see.

It's a pity that Li Ju didn't dare to have this luxury easily, so he let a group of people who are eager to return to the north take a look.

Wait until the future, when you let your henchmen send Liu Tai to find out how these people are arranged.

In any case, Liu Tai is the Liu Tai of the Han nationality, and it is somewhat different compared to the Huns or the Qian!

At this moment, Li Ju also had a little thought in his heart, if it wasn't for the form, he wouldn't want to fight!

At this time, Liu Tai burned a few pots of hot pot in his mansion, and the bottom of the pot was millet porridge, which was cut with various shredded meat, and then said to the invited ministers:

"Gentlemen, drink and eat together today, but don't let me save, after eating this meal, I will have to work hard tomorrow!"

At this time, Yuan Yan stood up and said loudly: "King Han, just these few tables of hot pot want us to work hard, why do you have to eat it a few more times!" ”

"My chef will send a batch directly to ensure that you will eat enough in the future!" Liu Tai said quite briskly.

"That Yuanyan is here, thank you for the king's favor!" Yuan Yan thanked Liu Tai and said.

"Hahahaha!" The people around also laughed, and the group was happy.
