Liu He nodded and said: "When the Holy Emperor was here, he once told me that after returning to Youzhou, we would prepare our troops to rescue the imperial court. Unexpectedly, after many years, the Xiliang army has become stronger and stronger, while Youzhou is still so weak. I
I'm sorry for the Holy Spirit's kindness."
Yan Rou felt sad in her heart. After he unified Youzhou, he never wanted to establish a reputation, but everything in front of him was completely destroyed because of the Xiliang army. He had never resented a person so much. If Jia Rong was in front of him,
He could not wait to pounce on him and take a few bites. The successive battles made Youzhou even poorer. He was already impoverished, and now he was starving to death. From some rumors, Yan Rou learned what ordinary people thought.
After that, my heart was filled only with anger.
The people wanted the Xiliang Army to take control of western Liaoning. Public opinion spread quickly among the people. Under the influence of caring people, the people soon knew what the lives of the people under the rule of the Xiliang Army were like.
We are all human beings, and no one wants to live a worse life than others, and the same goes for ordinary people.
The people under the rule of the Xiliang Army live a happy and healthy life. Being adjacent to it, the people will naturally have some small thoughts. These are no secrets in Liaoxi County.
Such a situation is certainly not what Liu He is happy to see, but up to now, the power is still in the hands of Yan Rou and others. Even if they have the intention, they are unable to save the situation. Unlike Wang Yun at the beginning, he does not feel that Jia Rong has any intention.
What's not good about it is that he is serving the Holy Emperor all day long, while he eats and drinks with the soldiers in the army. This is many times better than Cao Cao, a man who does one thing on the surface and another behind the other. He is very surprised why the Han Emperor wants to do this.
Could it be that he chose to go to Yanzhou instead of staying in the Xiliang army because of the people's opinion of Jia Rong?
After arriving in Yanzhou, Liu He was never happy.
"Go and be prepared. The Xiliang army will not give up. It is best to unite with Liaodong. Gongsun Du must also understand the truth of losing lips and teeth." Liu He said.
Yan Rou was shocked. She didn't know why Liu He, who had always been very weak, said such words. It seemed that he had underestimated Liu He, who could play tricks on the minds of all the civil and military officials in the court in front of the Han Emperor.
, how can he be a mediocre person? Once such a person has power in his hands, he will definitely go further.
When Jia Rong came to Youzhou, Liu He did not feel the slightest panic. He had served under Jia Rong before, so he naturally knew some of the policies of the Xiliang Army and was very generous to prisoners. Liu He appreciated this very much. Dragons and dragons gave birth to phoenixes.
During his lifetime, Liu Yu adopted a tolerant policy towards the Wuhuan people, and was very kind to the Wuhuan people who took refuge. Liu He was also more or less infected with it. When he saw Jia Rong's behavior, he admired it. Today's remarks
, it’s just a sigh from the heart.
A day of exhausting life was finally over, and Yan Rou went back home. On the surface, Liu He was in charge of the governor's office. Especially when Youzhou was in turmoil, he didn't want to spread any rumors. When he was strong before, he could
I don’t care, but things are different now. You have to be more cautious about everything to avoid falling into the trap of your mouth.
"General, there are people blocking the road ahead," the driver said.
Yan Rou felt a little irritated and waved her hands: "Order the soldiers to drive them away."
The coachman muttered something outside the carriage, and Yan Rou heard the soldiers' scoldings coming from outside the carriage.
Suddenly thinking that Jia Rong had implemented benevolent policies in Chang'an and had the current strength from the original Jincheng County, he couldn't help but said: "Don't let them go!"
Yan Rou stepped out of the carriage and saw more than a dozen people on the road ahead. They were in ragged clothes and looked hungry. She couldn't help but suddenly realized that these people were blocking the road just to beg for some food.
"General, what should we do?"
Yan Rou showed what she thought was the gentlest smile and said, "Give these people something to eat." Since ancient times, the people did not fight with the officials, and the people could openly block the road, which was obviously forced to a dead end.
After giving the people some food, Yan Rou saw the people burst into tears of gratitude and kowtowed. The unhappiness in her heart immediately dissipated a lot. He can still do a lot of things in Youzhou. At least the tens of thousands of people in the city are still left to him.
master.
The carriage moved forward slowly, and a general stepped forward and said: "General, these people are following the carriage. No matter how hard the soldiers drive them, they just won't leave."
Upon hearing this, Yan Rou ordered the coachman to stop the carriage and slowly walked out of the carriage.
"Dear fellow villagers, now is the time of crisis in Youzhou. The Xiliang army is at the edge. Even the soldiers in the army have difficulty eating. I, the general, will do my best to do good things for the people, get rid of the current predicament, and strive to make peace.
Youzhou will return to normal order as soon as possible." Yan Rou said vividly.
The soldiers on the side glanced at Yan Rou in surprise. Yan Rou, who had been very impatient when she heard that the people were blocking the road, suddenly became like this.
"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!" More than a dozen people kowtowed again.
Yan Rou pointed to a commoner and said, "Come forward."
The people looked around blankly, not knowing why. After all, they were ordinary people. How could they know any etiquette? They hurriedly got up from the ground and came towards Yan Rou.
A general stood not far in front of Yan Rou, stopped the people, and scolded: "If you see the general, why don't you show your courtesy quickly?"
Yan Rou saw that the people didn't understand this, so she didn't take it seriously. She smiled and said, "They are ordinary people, how can they know so much."
"Why are you blocking the road?" Yan Rou asked.
"Without food at home, I really couldn't survive, so I thought of stopping the official's carriage," the common people replied.
Yan Rou carefully explained the current situation in Youzhou, regardless of whether the people could understand it. Anyway, he was trying to learn from Jia Rong's kindness to the people, hoping to revive the current situation in Youzhou.
Yan Rou waved her hand to signal the people to leave. In an instant, a stern look flashed in the eyes of the people who looked fearful just now. They quickly approached Yan Rou and waved their hands with a cold light, and a cold light flashed through them.
Unprepared, Yan Rou could only watch blankly as the weapon cut his own throat. He never imagined that the people who were very afraid just now would suddenly change their appearance and become a person who was not afraid of life and death.
Assassin, and his disguise was so good before that no one could detect any clues.
It took a moment for the nearby soldiers to react, and they kept shouting to catch the assassin.
The common people with sallow complexions were very agile. They rushed left and right among the soldiers, but no one could stop them. Moreover, the common people they met along the way did not end well.
When the remaining people saw this change, instead of showing fear, they stepped forward to stop the soldiers. After a while, the bodies of more than a dozen soldiers appeared in the field, and more than a dozen people also took the opportunity to escape.
Yan Rou's death was the biggest blow to Liaoxi County. With Yan Rou's coordination, the officers and soldiers of the various ministries could still live in peace. After all, he was the leader jointly elected by the officers and soldiers of all the ministries. After many years of war,
He is quite prestigious among the generals. Once he dies, it will have a huge impact on the soldiers. Generals are constantly fighting with other generals for their own interests. The last layer of the veil has been lifted. Everyone seems so...
Unbearable, Liu He came forward and had little influence on the army's sergeants. When it was time to fight, when it was time to make trouble, many people even guessed the masters of the assassins on some generals. During the days when Yan Rou was in charge of Youzhou, it was always
With great power in his hands, he did not give anyone else the slightest chance. Even Liu He was an honest man under his command.
The chaos in western Liaoning gave the Xiliang army an opportunity. Zhao Yun led a thousand light cavalry and attacked the county city at starry night. With the support of the people in the city, they entered the city and recaptured the last county city in Yan Rou's hands, almost unifying You.
state.
After occupying western Liaoning, Zhao Yun first stabilized the situation in the city, roped in the army officers and soldiers, and allowed the city to completely settle down. Then he restored normal order in the city and began to deal with prisoners of war.
Most of the Youzhou soldiers became prisoners of the Xiliang army due to deliberate calculations but not care.
Seeing that the situation in the city had been decided, Liu He defected to the Xiliang Army. With Liu He's surrender, it became easier for Zhao Yun to contain the Youzhou Army. In any case, Liu He was the Youzhou Shepherd in name only and had no influence on the military and political affairs.
He has the absolute right to speak, but it was because of Yan Rou's previous dictatorship that he had no power. Now that Yan Rou is dead, Liu He represents Youzhou.
While stabilizing the situation in western Liaoning, he reported victory to Chang'an and defeated Yan Rou. This was a great encouragement to the entire Xiliang army. Youzhou was poor, and so was Liangzhou. Jia Rong was able to build Liangzhou into a prosperous place.
Land, Youzhou is certainly not a problem. Not only are the officials full of confidence, but the people of Youzhou are also full of confidence in their new master.
The recapture of Liaoxi County has eased the urgent situation in Chang'an a lot. A great deal of effort has been spent on successive surveys. The Lone Wolf Sky Punishment assassination continues day and night, investigating the places where the men in black once haunted, and Feng Lailou is the last one investigated.
This is an important place. After all, the man in black had appeared here before. The owner of Feng Lai Tower, Feng Ya, behaved very calmly. He ran towards the General's Mansion when he had nothing to do, and tried his best to cooperate with the actions of the General's Mansion.
The investigation has been going on for ten days. Jia Rong's original death order was to investigate for three days. Unexpectedly, the situation became more and more complicated, especially when spies appeared in the craftsman's workshop. The three blacksmiths finally confessed that they had stolen from the craftsman's workshop.
Weapons were taken out, but these weapons were obviously not of the same grade as the ones seen in Xuzhou. The number was enough to affect the situation in Xuzhou.
After thinking hard to no avail, Jia Rong simply put down his government affairs temporarily and played with his two sons. It was said that since Wei Fu and Cai Yan gave birth to a son respectively, Mi Huan, Cai Ling and Xiu'er, there had been no movement. Jia Rong
Rong also worked very hard.
Sure enough, as Jia Rong thought, the two sons gradually showed different preferences. The eldest son Jia Ren likes to read, but it is different from the Confucian classics that scholars usually read.
Select some classic passages to watch and not learn anything else. For this reason, Cai Yong often consulted with Cai Yan. After all, he was his grandson, and he might be Jia Rong's successor in the future. How could it be such an anticlimax? Cai Yan also had
I asked Jia Rong indirectly, but Jia Rong shied away on the grounds that it was his own preference.
