"Governor, is Pingzhou ready to attack Xianbei?" Guo Chong said suddenly.

Lu Songli was unexpected.

Lu Desheng and Xue Xu also looked at each other.

This matter is considered a secret, it is the high-level of Pingzhou, and not many people know about this secret.

"How do you know?" Lu Songli asked.

Lu Desheng didn't think about it so much, anyway, the people present seemed to be smarter than him? He can just listen to it, and he doesn't have to move his brain.

And Xue Xu is already thinking about the link that is most likely to leak secrets.

Guo Chong: "I guessed, I walked around the city after entering the city yesterday. ”

Lu Desheng: He only arrived in Pingzhou yesterday, right? This keen insight, tsk.

Now that he is his own person, Lu Songli will not hide it from him, "You guessed it, we in Pingzhou are indeed preparing to use troops against Xianbei, but this is a premise......"

Guo Chong immediately understood, "If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move, and when the enemy moves, it will be a praying mantis catching cicadas, and the yellow finch will be behind." ”

Lu Songli bowed slightly, the advantage of talking to smart people is that it can be penetrated at one point.

At this time, Lu Songli's attendant came to remind her, "Governor, the hour is not early, you want to see someone at two o'clock." In addition, the Seventh Institute of Technology said that there will be heavy snow this morning. ”

It means that while it is still not down, go back quickly.

Guo Chong sighed, does anyone even predict the weather? Pingzhou is really full of talents.

Lu Desheng's breathing was light, for fear of being noticed. The girl is so pitiful, look at this time, it has been arranged.

Lu Songli was indeed very busy, and since the attendant had reminded her, she stood up and said goodbye to Guo Chong.

Before leaving, Lu Songli said to Guo Chong, "Military advisor, it's too cramped here. There's a house on Chongwen Road that suits you well, so why don't you move there first? ”

Guo Chong of Chongwen Road knew that it was on the main street to the left of the Pingzhou Mansion today, and the house there was very good. Now living in Chongwen Street, it can be said that they are all the upstarts of the Pingzhou Mansion.

The governor's arrangement was good, and he had no objections, "Yes." ”

"You pack up later, and someone will come to help you move later. Tomorrow's birthday, you report to the government office, is there a problem? Lu Songli felt that since he had joined the gang, he should start working as soon as possible.

Is it so fast? Guo Chong now felt what Pingzhou speed was.

Lu Desheng glanced at him sympathetically.

When Lu Songli and his party returned to the mansion, the sky began to snow.

Lu Desheng said hello to his daughter and slipped home. This kind of weather is most suitable for snuggling at home and making tea around the stove. Hmm, roast some sweet potato beans or something, fragrant.

After returning to the Pingzhou Mansion, Lu Songli ordered that all the heavyweights and high-level officials in Pingzhou be summoned back, and tomorrow, she will solemnly welcome Guo Chong to join. This is the most basic etiquette, and you can't despise people just because they take the initiative to come to them.

North, Jinyang

Since the northern border and Liangzhou were occupied by Xianbei, the king's tent was set up in Jinyang.

The northern border has always been guarded by the Qin family before, and they, the Hulu foreigners, have never set foot in a single step, and now they set up the royal tent in Jinyang, and they have a sense of accomplishment inexplicably.

For the people of the north and Liangzhou, it is extremely painful.

When the Dali Dynasty and the Xianbei Dynasty handed over the northern border and Liangzhou, they were in a hurry and did not have the ability to evacuate and settle the people of the two states. Of course, the Xianbei royal court did not allow them to evacuate the people of the two states. What they lacked was not land, but the people who provided for them.

Because when the Xianbei royal court took over the northern border and Liangzhou, he said to the people of the two states that what happened to Dali in the past, how they will be in Xianbei in the future, and the taxes will be the same.

As a result, only a part of the common people left decisively during the initial period of chaos, and most of the common people stayed.

First, it is difficult to leave the homeland.

Liangzhou in the north is not Pingzhou, there is the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce, and the people can sell their fields and houses when they leave.

Many people are very poor, and if they leave, they can't take away their houses and fields, and they can't take away very few things, some food, a little clothing, and not much money.

In the winter, without shelter from the wind and rain, they may not survive.

Second, it's a fluke.

If they leave, they will return to poverty overnight, and may not even survive this winter; If you stay, if the words Xianbei said before are true, then it is not impossible to stay.

It's a pity that their dreams were shattered after all.

Half a month after the Xianbei royal court took over the two states, he asked people to collect a tax, saying what kind of protection tax it was.

Almost every household has to pay a tax of about one or two pieces of silver, and those who have no money, the Xianbei barbarians will take away the valuable things in the house, or take away the livestock in the house.

Moreover, the Xianbei people can bully the Han people at will without being punished. If someone dies, it will be fine if you pay a few taels of silver.

The common people of the two states are inferior.

The people of the two states dare not speak out.

……

After returning from Pingzhou, Wei Chixun led a team of men and horses to gallop on the street.

When he was about to return to the king's tent, he directly copied the shortcut, which was a section of the market.

Because it was not a market day, there were not many people in the market, and because it was a sunny day, there were still people.

In the past, when it was under the control of Dali, this section of the road was not allowed to ride horses. But Wei Chixun was in a hurry to go back, but he didn't care about this.

Seeing this, Wei Chixun's subordinates hurriedly shouted, "The officials of the royal court are doing things, and the people are avoiding!" ”

"The officials of the royal court do things, and the people avoid them!"

"The officials of the royal court do things, and the people avoid them!"

Screams erupted in the streets, and people hurriedly hid to the side.

But there are still Han Chinese who can't dodge, especially some old women, and children, who are not sensitive enough.

Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!

Wei Chixun did not slow down his horse, and in the face of those who could not dodge in time to get in the way, he whipped with the horse whip in his hand, as if all the anger he received in Pingzhou was sprinkled on these Han people.

At this time, a five or six-year-old child stumbled and fell in the middle of the road.

"Xiu'er!" The mother with bad legs and feet shouted when she saw this.

"Get out of the way!"

The child was stupid and didn't react. Just a bang! was whipped aside by Wei Chixun.

I don't know where the back of my head hit, it was broken and bleeding.

The child died on the spot, and his eyes were open.

In just such a short period of effort, countless deaths and injuries were caused.

The child's mother knelt beside him and cried heartbreakingly, "Ah, child, my child! ”

At this time, Wei Chixun's subordinates saw the dead man, secretly said a word of trouble, took five taels of silver from his arms and threw it down, and said proudly, "This is an accident, no one wants it, take this silver and bury him well." And he rode away.

The mother didn't pay attention to it at all, she held the child's head, crying silently, "Xiu'er, my mother regrets it so much, why did she take you to the street?" ”

Everyone else silently came to help, and the money was placed by the good Samaritan beside the mother.

There were also a dozen or so injured people, either on their own or by others.

"Why? Why is this happening? You're only five years old, Xiu'er! ”

Everyone's hearts trembled, and they were also asking, God, why? They just want to live, they just want to live, they just want to live? Why should they be subjected to this?

In the past, when General Qin was there, they had not been bullied like this at all.

They didn't understand why the imperial court wanted to deal with the Qin family, which could fight, and then sent those who couldn't fight to the north? Why did they abandon the people in the end? Aren't they the people of Dali?
