Chapter 168: Panic in the city, formation of cavalry
The destruction of Yunzhou did not immediately spread to other states, only the imperial court knew about it.
In an era when news is relatively unavailable, unless you keep an eye on it, there will be a long delay in the news.
Fang Yuan and others in Liaozhou also found nothing. They were developing Liaozhou in full swing and developing Liaozhou's infrastructure at a high speed.
In these days, Du He, Qin Huaiyu and others have escorted the grain from Langzhou back, and returned to Chang'an City with Changsun Chong and the others.
As for the person behind the Yellow River Dam, they only have clues and have not caught the murderer, but they assured Fang Yuan that they will not stop there.
In the same days, Fang Yuan also launched many policies to benefit the people, mainly caring for the refugees who moved into Liaozhou City.
One of them is the issue of housing. You can get a loan from a bank to buy a house in a community, and the interest rate is very low.
This is very convenient for refugees who are unable to cultivate land or are too lazy to cultivate land.
So when the policy was launched, the number of applicants was 3,000.
When the community was first designed, it was designed to accommodate about a thousand people.
There are only about 2,000 people in the two communities.
Applicants are instantly covered.
This makes the families who develop the community very excited.
Then ask Fang Yuan for land and prepare to develop the next community housing again.
However, Fang Yuan did not agree immediately and asked them to apply only after they completed the project.
Everything was going in the right direction, but soon Liaozhou received a battle report from Chang'an City.
For a time, officials in the governor's office were shocked. The news was far more shocking than the recent disaster relief.
"Zun Zhou, they won't come to our Liaozhou, right?"
Zhang San said with a trembling voice.
The news shocked him.
A cavalry force of about one thousand broke through Yunzhou and entered Hedong Road.
A thousand Eastern Turkic cavalry, this is more terrifying to the people of several states in Hedong than an absolute natural disaster.
"You spread the news to all the aristocratic families in the city, but warn them not to leak it out."
"Please use their connections to keep an eye on this cavalry. I want to know what this cavalry is doing!"
Fang Yuan was extremely shocked and said in a deep voice.
It's so terrifying. A thousand Eastern Turkic cavalry entered Hedong, and it was like entering an uninhabited land.
The troops of the two governor's offices in Hedong Road were mobilized to the battlefield. There was no force in Hedong that could stop such a terrifying cavalry.
If the imperial court does not send troops to resist them, it will be a hellish disaster for the entire Hedong Road, even more serious than the floods in Henan Road.
"Yes!"
Zhang San responded immediately.
After he left, Fang Yuan issued a ban on the governor's office.
The news is so shocking that if it spreads, it will make the people uneasy and cause turmoil.
There are too many newcomers in one city and four counties in Liaozhou now, and they cannot withstand the rush of this news.
Not long after, Du Miaoyan rushed over in a hurry.
"Fang Yuan, have you received the message?"
Du Miaoyan's face was filled with shock that could not be concealed.
"Received."
Fang Yuan nodded solemnly.
His expression is also very solemn.
He was worried that the Eastern Turkic cavalry would attack Liaozhou.
The cavalry is too flexible and is the strongest unit in this era.
In addition, the Eastern Turks will not limit their territory because of food and grass, and there will be "two-legged sheep" wherever they kill.
"My father wants me to go back."
Du Miaoyan sighed.
Du Ruhui's letter urged her to leave.
Although Liaozhou is far away from Yunzhou, the Hedong Road is no longer safe.
"It should."
"You will set off soon!"
Fang Yuan nodded with deep understanding.
Zhao Zixuan’s mother and daughter also need to be sent away.
"No, I want to stay!"
Du Miaoyan shook her head and said firmly.
"Go back and leave the danger behind!"
Fang Yuan’s righteous way.
"I don't!"
"I want to stay with you!"
Du Miaoyan said firmly again.
His face was slightly red, but his tone and expression were firm.
"Thank you!"
Fang Yuan opened his mouth, but seeing Du Miaoyan's firm expression, he stopped trying to persuade her.
"Zun Zhou, there is a refugee asking to see you, saying that he has something important to see you."
At this time, a state official who was guarding the gate came and reported respectfully.
Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan looked at each other, thinking that the news might have been leaked.
Without hesitation, Fang Yuan asked the state officials to invite the people in.
Not long after, a middle-aged man with an elegant appearance came in.
Although he seems to be an ordinary person, Fang Yuan feels that he has a bookish spirit.
"The grassroots Xu Shihui [kuài], pays homage to the governor!"
Xu Shihui bowed respectfully to Fang Yuan.
"No gifts!"
"You have something important to ask me?"
Fang Yuan nodded and looked at Xu Shihui slightly nervously.
He was worried that Xu Shihui would know about the Eastern Turks' invasion.
If one refugee knows it, other people will soon know it too.
"It made the governor laugh."
"The common people have no choice but to find reasons to meet the state minister."
Xu Shihui said with a smile.
After entering the city for many days, he kept looking for opportunities to meet Fang Yuan.
But although the door of the Governor's Mansion is open, it does not mean that everyone can see Fang Yuan.
Today was the fifth time he came to see Fang Yuan, and finally a gatekeeper was willing to inform him once.
"Huh?"
Fang Yuan frowned slightly.
Look at Du Miaoyan on the side.
It turns out that I didn’t know about the Eastern Turks’ invasion of Hedong Road.
"The common people think they have some knowledge and want to work under the governor."
Xu Shihui tidied up his clothes and respectfully saluted Fang Yuan again.
Fang Yuan frowned slightly, wondering if Xu Shihui would recommend himself like this.
Xu Shihui said nothing and kept bending at ninety degrees to salute, motionless.
