The desert is lonely,

The sun sets over the long river.

On the seventeenth day of fast horse flying and riding, the Xuanjia army led by Dongfang Yu crossed the Zhengzhou Road for more than 200 miles, walked half of Liangzhou, and was less than 100 miles away from Qindi.

How barren Beiliang is, the rotten villages, the deserted land, the dust and sand everywhere, and the corpses are all buried under the deep sand. These are people who have starved to death, and their flesh has become food for vultures, leaving behind skeletons that cannot be corrupted for a long time.

There are also refugees who are not starving, who are running around, they are scrawny, hungry, even! There have been more than one scene of Yi Zi eating food. Oh, my God? I want other states and counties to have more grain and prosperity, but I don't want to! The people of Dawu Liangzhou live so hard.

Thinking about the court, among the officials, the officials and officials pointed out to each other how prosperous the states were, and how happy the people's lives were, now it seems that it is pure nonsense. These ministers, who use the court to make fun of the king, are devils who can only suck the blood of the people.

"Tiger Roaring Moon, Lantian, order the Xuanjia Army to camp on the spot, and the army must not disturb the people or violators! Military disposition. Dongfang Yu ordered.

"No!"

The Xuanjia Army is highly disciplined and brave in battle, so they will naturally not disturb the people, let alone take a stitch from the people. The essence of Dongfang Yu's training army is very simple, "close to the people, love the people, and serve the people." "Influenced by the culture of his previous life, the army he built must be a people's army with strict discipline and serving the country and the people.

"Report! His Royal Highness, General Yuwen, is back. ”

"Let him in."

Dongfang Yu sat in the set up tent, and on the desk, there was a map of Liangzhou.

Thanks to Dongfang Yu's foresight, before he arrived in Beiliang, he prepared enough food and clothes in Zhengzhou. It's just that I didn't expect that the Beiliang I originally imagined in my mind should belong to a barren and barren land, but I didn't want to! Bei Liang's barrenness is even more serious than he thought.

"Official... Official, you didn't lie to the little old man! Just ask a question, and let the little old man go. The old man trembled and stumbled. It was really the momentum of the Xuanjia Army around him that was too strong, which made his already scared psychology a little more serious.

"Don't worry, old man, we are the army of King Qin, so naturally our words count." Yuwen Hu said in a harmonious voice, for fear of scaring the old man.

Yes!

As a result, the old man was stunned, but his legs and feet were weak and he couldn't walk, "Qin... King Qin? Official, didn't you just say that it was a king who brought me to meet? ”

It's okay to be a general or an official, but there is a king in front of him, and of course he is afraid. He didn't know which king of Qin was, but the national law was very clear, offending the emperor and the king was a big crime of the nine clans. This is what he is worried about, of course.

Yuwen Hu immediately explained: "My King Qin is a benevolent king, and he treats the people like relatives, you can rest assured." ”

"It's... Is it? ”

Treat the people like dear ones? There is no such king in the world. Of course, the old man thinks that Yuwen Hu is lying to him nonsense, alas! Now, both horizontal and vertical are dead, and he can only bite the bullet.

"Your Highness, Yuwen Hu asks to see you."

"Enter."

Dongfang Yu sat on the desk, looking at Yuwen Hu who came in, and an old man.

Seeing King Qin, the old man immediately knelt down in fright, sweat beads flowed down his forehead, and he didn't dare to raise his head, "Caomin Wang Lu, meet King Qin." ”

"Hey! Hurry up, old man. Dongfang Yu was in a hurry, and hurriedly went down to help him up, the young and the young were orderly, the age of Wang Lu in front of him was probably fifty or sixty years old, how could he let the old man come to worship him, why not fold his life.

Stroking the warmth from that little hand, Wang Lao was terrified for a while, at a loss, and did not dare to break free.

"Come, give a seat to the old man."

The guard brought a chair and put it aside, and Dongfang Yu was extremely careful to help him into his position. In the momentum, there is no majesty of being a king at all, but like a grandson supporting his grandfather.

"Qin... His Royal Highness the King of Qin. ”

"Just sit down, old man."

After Wang Lao sat down, Dongfang Yu returned to his position.

Wang Lu couldn't imagine that there was such a good king in the world?

"King Qin is benevolent, and the grass people are terrified. I heard that the King of Qin is looking for the grass people to understand Liangzhou, as long as the King of Qin wants to know where? As long as the grass people know, they will know everything. Wang Lu said what he thought from the bottom of his heart.

"This king... I want to have a general understanding of Liangzhou, as well as the fief of this king - Qindi. Dongfang Yu said.

Alas!

Wang Lu sighed in vain, as if he remembered the bitterness in his heart, "King Qin doesn't know something!" In addition to the disaster of the Xiongnu in the north, a big reason for the disaster in Liangzhou is the internal ......"

……

That's it! Dongfang Yu listened carefully, and in an hour and a half, he roughly understood.

The scourge of Beiliang is not outside, but inside. What kind of border army and generals stationed at the border pass of Liangzhou and the north gate? The armies of these imperial courts have long been wiped out by the Huns.

Right now! There is no army stationed at Yumen Pass, and the people stationed at Yumen Pass are all people of Liangzhou, and the militia organized by themselves is also very strong after a little training; It is more than enough to garrison the passes.

Of course! This is an external cause.

The internal reason is that there are seven counties in Liangzhou, and there are seven counties in Liangzhou, and there are all gate valve clans in each county, and the gate valve clan has good interests, which is an eternal truth since ancient times. The Liangzhou Gate Lords are different, the strong clans annex the weak clans, so as to become bigger and occupy the county seat.

In other words, these guys actually occupied the county seat, moved the county town to private ownership, and became the overlord of Liangzhou. Generally speaking, local officials must be approved and authorized by the imperial court before they can serve as county guards and state ministers. However, the gate lord clan in Liangzhou violated the law of the imperial court, and all counties conquered and wanted to dominate Liangzhou.

In a nutshell! This is rebellion, the blatant establishment of power against the imperial court. This matter, many years ago, the imperial court should have sent someone down to govern it, but several years have passed, and there has been no news from the imperial court.

Let its five major gates sit big, divide Liangzhou, and become the five major forces. Among them, there must be the mediation of the imperial court. If this news reaches the ears of the emperor, it is estimated that it will be another bloodbath.

"Good fellows! Don't these people want to live? The days of licking blood on the tip of the knife are not easy. Dongfang Yu thought to himself.

But! This group of warriors is also poisonous enough, and even his Qin Land has become someone else's bag.

"Humph!"

"What a Han Cheng, even the fief of His Royal Highness King Qin dares to invade, I think he is impatient."

"Your Highness, the last general is willing to lead a thousand Xuanjia troops to destroy Han Cheng's army." Yuwen Hu snorted coldly and angrily.

Dongfang Yu smiled and shook his head, "Although Han Cheng is the smallest among the five major gates, the soldiers stationed in Qin Land are at least five thousand, and with the barrier of the city wall, a strong attack is no different, and it will only increase casualties!" ”

"So what!" Yuwen asked.

Dongfang Yu pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "I will write a letter of surrender, and you will send someone to send it to Qindi." ”

Well!

Can it be useful to write a letter of surrender?

Moment! Dongfang Yu wrote the letter of surrender, and made the location of their army, the number of soldiers, and the sign clear.

"Your Highness! It's ......"

Isn't exposing the entire number of your own army to the enemy tantamount to asking for your own death? Yuwen was puzzled.

"Recruit a letter, you can send it by yourself, and the rest will be arranged by the king." Dongfang Yu smiled on his face, how creepy he laughed.
