Mixed in the Three Kingdoms as a strategist

Chapter 142 The Farmer and the Snake

To be honest, there will be so many hundreds of thousands of people in Chang'an who can bear Dong Zhuo's tyranny and refuse to leave their homes. It came in the name of preferential policies, which greatly exceeded Yan Qing's expectations.

After all, the journey is long and dangerous, and it requires more than determination.Why would it not be better to go directly to Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, where the Five Dou Rice Religion is prevalent?

Yan Qing quickly remembered that because Liu Yan, the shepherd of Yizhou, was not dead, the dizzy Liu Zhang naturally did not succeed to the throne, and the beautiful Zhang Lu's mother who had a close relationship with Liu Yan was not killed, nor was Zhang Lu. It may break away from the jurisdiction of Yizhou and let Hanzhong stand on its own.

In the eyes of the common people, even the Son of Heaven can't protect himself, so what is the value of Liu Yan's clan name in the Han Dynasty?

Compared with Lv Bu, who is widely circulated as a well-governed, peaceful people, even if some wars are inevitable, he rarely affects the people under his rule, and implements a benevolent government, it is obvious that the latter is the guarantee of survival.

The famine is spreading, and the little surplus food in the warehouse will not slow down because of the less and less face of the little emperor, just like the already empty Chang'an City, it has become empty .

Liu Xie was still waiting eagerly for the food to be delivered by courtiers from other places. He struggled to support it. The proportion of the emperor and his concubines was reduced again and again, but the saving of resources could only be delayed for a while.

If you can't afford to support so many palace people, you can only let them out.But most of their family members have already moved away with the tide, so where can they survive?

They howled loudly and begged desperately, but they were still driven out of the palace gate with ashen faces by the guards. They could only dig grass roots and wild vegetables on the outskirts of the city to barely survive.

Ma Teng was so ruthless and unrighteous, which also made Liu Xie lose his appetite. As the saying goes, he hates the house and the black, and even Ma Yunlu's charming and pitiful face can't make him feel the slightest affection in the past.

At the critical moment when the food was only enough for the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty to last for five days, the imperial edicts issued to urge food from all over the country received responses one after another. Usually, there were General Duan Kuma of Huayin County and Zhang Yang, the prefect of Hanoi, who paid tribute. Now the land under their jurisdiction is also infested by locusts, and the people are suffering from hunger and hunger. They still can't take care of themselves, so they can barely squeeze out some.

Liu Yan and Liu Biao went too far, and cried out that the farmland had been destroyed and the crops were destroyed, and people competed for food. He said that he could not support it, and asked the imperial court to allocate funds for relief.

This is more than nothing, but turned around and asked him for food!

Liu Xie was so angry that he trembled all over, dropped the folder in his hand, and immediately scolded those two brazen distant relatives with the same surname.

In fact, it is quite normal for the court to provide relief when a local disaster occurs.However, Liu Xie, the juvenile emperor who was crowned by Dong Zhuo, had a false name but no real power. Even the taxes collected from various places only went into the pockets of the local state herdsmen. Liu Yan and others stood by and watched Dong Zhuo's atrocities. , is clearly aware of his predicament.

If it wasn't for him taking the emperor's name, I'm afraid he wouldn't bother to send out this annoying perfunctory memorial - there was a severe drought, and there was a locust attack, and the grain in the field was ruined all over, which really made them burn out The earth is a big problem, who is in the mood to deal with the emperor's unreasonable troubles?

When Dong Zhuo, who stole most of the world's wealth, was killed, the food and treasures he left behind were all divided up by Lu Bu and the court. How can you condone this kind of unreasonable trouble if you spend it all so quickly and ask them for it when you open your mouth?

But Liu Xie couldn't understand their difficulties and troubles at all. According to him, this world is dominated by big men, and he is the son of heaven, the most legitimate and only master of this country.Not to mention some money and food, shouldn't everything they own belong to him?

At this time, General Lu's loyalty and bravery were even more highlighted.

Lu Bu only politely said that even though Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan's allied forces went south, causing him to be caught in a war, and money and supplies were tight, the emperor must not be put in such a predicament. Yangzhou personally led the army and immediately sent some money and food to tide over this crisis.

"Loyalty first!"

It may be a perfunctory excuse to put it on others, but Liu Xie firmly believes in Lu Bu's promise, which is so wordy.

He read it with tears in his eyes, and understood what a friend in need is a friend in adversity, and he completely disliked Zhang Xiu who had been slandering Zhongliang in front of him, blinding his eyes, and alienating Lu Aiqing.

After finding an excuse to demote him again and again, the once glorious General Pian became the vice-captain of the guard of honor, and he refused to see him again.

At any rate, there was something to look forward to. Seeing the emperor's confidence in Lu Bu and his unshakable attitude, the officials couldn't say anything—they were also hungry and scared.All the way to save food and clothing, the food is still completely declared to be exhausted.

Only one night of porridge for dinner, Liu Xie, who spent the night hungry for the first time in his life, finally waited for an army of 5000 people under the banner of Yan.

He led the civil and military officials who were trembling due to lack of food, stood on the city wall and looked out, and he really saw a chilling elite cavalry, coming around a fully loaded train, and the load on it was enough for them Eat food for the first half of the year.

Unlike his colleagues who were overjoyed and cheering endlessly, Wang Yun, who was used to fighting against Lu Bu, was not deprived of the ability to think by hunger, but keenly sensed the breath of uneasiness, and quickly persuaded the dizzy little emperor: "Your Majesty, Yan Here in Yangzhou, I'm afraid there are other plans, forget about being careful, don't let them enter the city lightly."

Liu Xie shivered, suppressing his excitement: "Oh? Where did you start talking about this?"

Wang Yun stroked his beard and beard: "The battle ahead is tight, if you only come here to deliver food, why send Yan Chongguang, an important military officer in the formation, to visit? There is no need to send five thousand cavalry who are capable of fighting—"

Liu Xie thought he could really explain why, but he didn't expect it to be some self-defeating reasons, so he sneered impatiently, and interrupted him: "Ai Qing is too worried. If you really have the heart of disobedience, General Lu You can sit idly by like others, why bother the people and waste money, and send food here? Let Yan Aiqing deliver it in person, it must be a show of solemnity, and these five thousand armored knights are to protect the money and food in this chaotic journey One ride."

Seeing that Wang Yun wanted to argue again, Liu Xie waved his hands and turned his head away: "I know that Aiqing and General Lu have always been at odds, and now is a critical moment. Please Aiqing let go of your prejudices and don't talk too much."

Wang Yun could only shut up resentfully.

When he found out that Yan Qing hadn't brought back Taiwei Yang and his guards who had gone to persuade him to make peace, Wang Yun wanted to raise this doubt again, but Liu Xiejing had already decided that he was deliberately finding fault with Liu Xiejing, so how could he pay attention to it?Directly displeased him to shut up.

It has been several years since the last time he went to Beijing to solve the problem of Ma Teng and Han Sui's intentional nuisance in the suburbs of Beijing, but Yan Qing's status has become higher and higher every time.

Yan Qing rode in the lead, smiling calmly, his gaze first glanced across the sparsely populated city, and then he swept the courtiers a few times calmly.

——There are still a few available people.

After entering the palace, Yan Qing bowed gracefully and gracefully to the emperor with neither humble nor overbearing expression. Her voice was as melodious as the sound of a zither, her spirit and appearance, her gestures, her speech and conversation were all beautiful.

Let Liu Xie, who already knows how to distinguish between beauty and ugliness, and do things between men and women, can't help being in a daze for a while.

After the initial ecstasy over the bountiful money and food passed away, all the civil and military officials calmed down, and they all admired and admired his extraordinary grace and splendor, as well as his polished appearance.

There are very few beauties with such a beautiful face, and even fewer beauties with brilliant talents and excellent temperament, and at the same time, if they also possess power that cannot be ignored, the only one in front of me is probably the only one in the whole world.

After the disintegration of the dynasty, Yan Qing naturally got Liu Xie to stay, was called into the inner hall, and was given a seat.

Just as he thought, this time the little emperor was not as arrogant as before, and asked about the battle ahead in a good voice.

Yan Qing responded with a smile. He has always been well versed in speaking skills, and his flattery only shows sincerity without deliberation. Let Liu Xie be in full bloom, and have a great sense of him.

Yan Qing patiently chatted with him for a while, and then introduced the topic without any trace: "Your Majesty, Qing has something to say."

Liu Xie and Yan Yue said: "I love you, but it's okay to say."

Yan Qing smiled slightly, and said sincerely: "Ruoqing just read it correctly, except for the three thousand feather forest guards led by Huangfu and General Zhu, there are no other guards in the capital."

Liu Xie blushed: "It is true."

Fortunately, Yan Qing had been stationed in Chang'an until Ma Teng and Han Suina. He didn't ask a word about the whereabouts of the people who guarded the capital. Wang Pin made a change, and I'm afraid he intends to take advantage of Chang'an's weak force to invade. If the two generals, Ma and Han, refuse to work together, the [-] soldiers will be too weak at that time, and they can only resist for a while, and... ..."

After this night, Liu Xie was quite worried, but he also had the idea of ​​moving the capital back to Luoyang.But the food and grass that came in time solved his urgent need. The Xiongnu iron cavalry that was about to move sounded powerful, but it was still far away.

Yan Qing had expected this for a long time, and mentioned this point for the first time, but it was just laying the groundwork and planting seeds.

After realizing Liu Xie's intention to evade, he immediately smiled happily and changed the subject in a graceful manner.

Under Wang Yun's full vigilance, Yan Qing visited several old friends in the city, only stayed for two days in total, and then leisurely and unrestrainedly took the majestic five thousand tigers and wolves on their way home without any delay.

However, before Wang Yun could heave a sigh of relief, and before Liu Xie had a few more comfortable meals, the other party who came earlier than the Xiongnu was also in the middle of Yan Qing's calculations of deliberately acting high-profile.

Ma Teng and Han Sui, who were also suffering from the famine caused by the locust plague, could not feed the soldiers for too long with the food and grass given before, after hearing that the rich and powerful Lu Bu sent a large amount of money and food to the court with great fanfare, he unceremoniously Send me a memorial, and ask Your Majesty to open a storehouse to help the people of Liangzhou.

Facing this undisguised brazenness, Liu Xie was so annoyed that he laughed back. Not to mention the twists and turns of the food, the long wait was very difficult. If things are going on now, if he still can't see the essence of these people, he is blind Gone.

It's just some hooligans who are willing to pretend to be writers because of the smell of meat. No amount of gifts can be exchanged for loyalty. Why are they so stupid and generous that they starve themselves?

Ma Yunlu didn't know that he had completely fallen out of favor, so he came to plead for mercy, and called Liu Xie, who hated the Ma family's benevolent and ungrateful people, out of sight, and simply drove her away together.

Liu Xie, who was consciously awakened, asked the civil servant to write on behalf of the civil servant, and the sarcasm refused to reply. Even his daughter Ma Yunlu was packaged and returned, which directly made him humiliated that he could not even do what he usually loves as the head of the country. In a fit of anger, Ma Teng turned his face instantly, and immediately conspired with his neighbor and old brother Han Sui to play out his hooligan nature.

How can a mere [-] Royal Forest Army stop Liangzhou iron cavalry?

Instead of directly raising troops to attack, but each led 3 horses, lined up near the city, and then relied on the fact that there was no one in the capital, they directly indulged the soldiers under their command to run amok in the city.
