Chapter 974: False King

From Daliang to Xinzheng, but more than 100 miles, a few days can be reached.

Riding on the road, when he saw the endless fields and fields, Zhang Liang, who was appointed by Xiang Liang as the "Fake King of Han", knew that his motherland had arrived......

Zhang Liang knew very well that he was testing Xiang Liang, and Xiang Liang was also testing himself, if he refused to be the king, he was afraid that he would never be able to return to Yingchuan.

So he pretended that he was not a royal family, but could only be a fake king, and Xiang Liang allowed him to let Zhang Liang return to Han as soon as possible, organize the Han people to form an army, and resist the eastward advance of the Qin army.

The water of the lake is clear and deep, the taste is not exhausted, the delicacies are fish shoots, when Zheng Guo was still the minister of the king of Han, many ditches were dug here to irrigate the Korean land, and the five grains on both sides of the ditch are abundant. On the way to Zhang Liang's recovery, when he sensed that Wang Ben might launch a thunderous blow against Xu Di, he advocated moving north and taking refuge here.

It's a pity that Han Wangcheng didn't listen to him and died at the hands of the Qin army, but the seeds of the restoration of Han were preserved in Putianze, and finally half a year ago, with the help of the Chu army, captured the entire Yingchuan County, and Korea was officially restored and returned to the old capital!

But was the restoration really successful?

In the reeds beside the road, there were many hungry eyes, they were ragged, holding a pitchfork sickle, probably lying in ambush here for a long time, after noticing that Zhang Liang and others were many, they retreated back in interest, retreated into the depths of the grass, but saw that they were thin and thin, and they were hungry for a long time......

"It's a group of thieves."

Sima who led the way said helplessly, Putianze was the base camp for the success of the restoration of Korea, but now, it was suffering from a group of thieves.

"Qin and Chu fought between Beijing and Suo, the refugees of Sanchuan, and the common people of Yingchuan who had no food and clothing, all ran to the grass, and they could catch some prey, fish and shrimp here, and no matter how bad they were, they could dig grass roots to satisfy their hunger, and when they encountered pedestrians passing by, they could also loot their property."

Zhang Liang asked people to stop the thieves, but they didn't look back and ran faster......

"I'm afraid that you will be captured and sent to the army to fill the ravine! For his generation, the harsh government is fiercer than the tiger! ”

A red-nosed old man wearing a side-note crown drank wine and said that this person's name was Li Shiqi, a doctor of Wei and the brother of Chu Chen Liugong, when Zhang Liang left Daliang, he cheekily said on the side of the road that he was going to Xinzheng and asked him for a ride.

This person had no valid reason, but Zhang Liang let his subordinates not care, vacated an empty car to pretend to be this old drunkard, and although Li Shiqi drank all day long, his cloudy eyes were observing all kinds of situations along the way, and he came to talk to Zhang Liang from time to time.

"The chaos is like this, many places in Wei are also flooded with bandits, heroes and heroes, Qin officials are expelled and killed, and Qin's laws and regulations have also been abolished, but those who kill people and overhaul goods have become unstoppable. The big bandits, such as Peng Yue, turned into a prince, and the small bandits, or took refuge in the big thieves and became county magistrates, or continued to stay in the grass and plundered all directions. ”

Thanks to the Korean restoration movement and Zheng Chang's policy of dumping Korean wealth and goods, the order in the entire northern part of Yingchuan has completely collapsed.

As the initiator, Zhang Liang was silent.

Further south, they arrived at Yuanling County.

Li Shiqi smacked his lips and said: "This Yuanling is the ancient kingdom?" ”

As early as 600 years ago, Zheng Huan Gong was the Situ King of Zhou You, and he was very worried about the decaying Zong Zhou, thinking that he wanted to set up his own door and leave this ship that was destined to sink, so he used his position to find a new foothold for Zheng Guo in the eastern land. At that time, Tai Shibo analyzed him: "Fang is today, the country of sons and men, Yu and Yi are the greatest, Uncle Yu is in danger, and Yi Zhong is in danger. If Ke Eryi, then the front Xin Houhe, the right Luo Zuoji, Zheng Guo can be less solid......"

Dongyu is the area of Xingyang, and the country of Yi is the ancient name of Yuanling, this area is the foundation of Zheng Guo, although the capital is built in Xinzheng in the south, but Yuanling is a rich city.

On its city, Li Shiqi saw that its house was very large, and couldn't help but admire: "Zhuang Zai County, no less than the capital of the city, how much is the household registration here?" ”

Someone told him the answer: "In the early years, there were 10,000 households, but in recent years, there have been several soldiers, and many people have disappeared, and now there are only 5,000 households......

Whether the 5,000 families who disappeared fled or rebelled against the grass, or were taken away by the passing Chu army, no one knows.

Li Shiqi sighed: "It's a pity, it's a pity, but it's not a single Yuanling, as far as the old people can see, whether it is Hedong or Hanoi, these former rich lands of the three rivers are also withered." ”

seems to be intentional or unintentional, as if he wanted to touch Zhang Liang with this.

Everyone rested in the garden tomb for one night, continued to go south, was the night in a pavilion on the way to stay, because Zhang Liang was simple, carrying only coarse rice, his attendant begged the pavilion chief for food, let him offer the best food, unexpectedly when the meal was opened, the pavilion chief steamed the chaff for everyone to eat!

Zhang Liang's cronies were suddenly furious: "Bold, do you know who the noble person is!" ”

The pavilion chief was not afraid, and said with his chest puffed:

"Don't you want the best food? Ten miles and eight towns, there is only dregs, even if Zheng Chang and Zhang Liang come, they can only eat these! ”

Zhang Liang was not angry, comforted his subordinates, picked up the chaff, and ate it with a smile, but asked people to distribute the dry food they carried to the pavilion chief.

"Uncle, how long have you been eating dregs and chaff?"

"I've been eating it since the beginning of winter."

The pavilion chief looked at the appearance of his family gobbling up dry food, and sighed: "This county is hilly, treacherous, mountain dwelling, born of grains, the best growing is wheat and beans, what we eat on weekdays, it is probably bean rice and weed soup, once the harvest is not good, we can only eat dregs." ”

"Last year, Qin and Chu fought a war, but they have not destroyed the fields, and the local income is good, but after the Chu army crossed the border in the autumn, Zheng Chang actually ordered all the food to be offered to all the places along the way, even the life-saving grain, and we only have these things left to be used to satisfy hunger."

This is good, now that the food of the last year is exhausted, and the seeds of the coming year have not fallen, I am afraid that in the summer, I am afraid that I will have to eat the bark and grass roots.

When the pavilion chief was worried, he scolded Zheng Chang and scolded Zhang Lianglai.

"When the Qin officials ruled the local area, although the levy was heavier and half of the Thai rent tax was collected, we had good food and clothing, and no bandits dared to openly plunder."

"But now, we are living so miserably, Zhang Liang wants to restore the country, what is the resumption of work? The wealth of his Zhang family has been restored, but the food, clothing and lives of our common people have been restored! ”

The attendants dared not speak in anger, Zhang Liang just nodded and continued to eat the dregs in the pottery bowl.

There was no salt, no oil, no honey, and the dry chaff was so hard to chew that it hurt his throat when he swallowed it.

Choking in the throat......

Did he do all this for his own sake of wealth and wealth, for the sake of this so-called "false king"?

Li Shiqi's observer Zhang Liang's expression seemed to be aware.

After nightfall, Li Shiqi went out with wine and found Zhang Liang standing on the ridge outside the pavilion, looking at the galaxy.

He walked over and smiled: "People are like this, they are always ungrateful and hold grudges, and if the present is not as good as the past, they will resent the person who brought them to this day." ”

"But the ovary, no, now I want to call it the fake king of Han, the prime minister of the Ru family, and Han Xuan, don't love the capital of ten thousand gold, avenge Han and attack Qin, Junan assassinated, and the world shook. Today, he finally succeeded in recovering the country, and even became a fake king, what are the regrets of this cloth? ”

As he said, Zhang Liang in his youth was indeed quite chivalrous and strong-blooded.

But the assassination of Qin failed, Da Tiezhi died to save him, and the experience of exile in Xiapi made Zhang Liang mature and stable, and began to abandon assassination and work in strategy, but unfortunately he was trapped in Fuhan and failed to stand out on a bigger stage.

And now that the dream has come true, South Korea has recovered, and he has even been pushed to the position of "fake king", it seems that some of South Korea is under his control, but Zhang Liang is not happy at all.

"If you want to crown it, bear its weight first......" Zhang Liang said this sentence and said with a smile:

"It's still like back then, when you only fight for your own resentment, Ren Xia is at ease. When I was young, I thought it was simple to take revenge on the country, and I did it for more than ten years, and I realized how difficult it was. But the more difficult thing is still to come, the weight of millions of people in South Korea, Zhang Liang carried it on his shoulders, and only then did he understand how heavy it was. ”

"I can't afford this false king."

Li Shiqi shook his head: "But who can afford it in Korea?" Zheng Chang? Han Shin? ”

He said meaningfully: "Ofan, in my opinion, you are the only one who can save Han Di." ”

"Save Han?"

How familiar this word is, as if remembering the words of a certain "Korean traitor" when he was questioned by the Zhang family when he was young.

At that time, the young Zhang Liang scoffed.

Zhang Liang shook his head: "There are fire pits in front and back, how can I save it, Li Sheng is here, do you want to show me a clear way?" ”

Li Shiqi almost blurted out, but he finally held back.

The time has not yet come.

Zhang Liang stood up, patted Li Shiqi, and said in his ear:

"Li Sheng said earlier that Hedong and Hanoi are very withered, I just want to ask, Jun has already gone to Guanzhong before, where under the rule of Heifu, how is the people's livelihood?"

Li Shiqi prepared a lot of routines, but at this moment, there was only astonishment on his face.

Although Li Shiqi quickly reacted, put away his surprise, and replaced it with confusion.

For Zhang Liang, this momentary expression was enough for him to confirm his guess.

What does the ovary mean? The old man has been to the West River once, but ......"

Li Shiqi's wide long sleeves, holding a sharp short dagger, is this hand, when lobbying a Wei county magistrate in Hedong, because of suspicion that he has changed, Li Shiqi pretended to be drunk, and slept with him, but in the middle of the night he secretly got up and cut off his head, dedicated to Han Xin's forward-incompetent old man, Gaoyang drunkard, pedantic Confucian, all of which covered up the disguise that he was a blood-licking light man when he was young!

But this time, the goose beater pecked the goose.

Li Shiqi's hand was preemptively restrained by Zhang Liang, and the dagger was snatched away, but it was held in his arms!

Everything happened suddenly, and only when they saw the perseverance in Zhang Liang's eyes, people often remembered that this woman-like and seemingly weak scholar made a name for himself by assassinating Qin Shi Huangdi!

"There's no outsider here, and you don't have to."

Zhang Liang smiled:

"Li Sheng came to me, is it on the orders of your lord Heifu, or is he making his own decisions for the sake of great achievements?"
