Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

Liu Xiu didn't feel embarrassed for Hu Sheng, waved his hand at him, and said, "Hu County, please get up." ”

Hu Sheng kowtowed forward excitedly, and said in a trembling voice: "Thank you for the grace of not killing!" Thank you Da Sima for not killing him......"

Liu Xiu asked: "I heard that Wang Langjun's grain and grass are all hoarded in Zhencheng, but is there such a thing?" ”

Hu Sheng nodded again and again, and responded: "That's right, that's right!" Returning to the Great Sima, Yan ...... Yan Feng put all the grain of 50,000 stone in Zhencheng! ”

Liu Xiu said: "Hu County Order took me to check!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Hu Sheng responded continuously, personally led the way, and took Liu Xiu and his party to the granary in the city. On the way, many people in Zhencheng went out of their homes and gathered on the streets to watch the excitement.

People only heard of Liu Xiu's name, but did not see him, and this time they had the opportunity to witness Liu Xiu with their own eyes, and the people were not willing to miss it. Liu Xiu is much younger than people think, and her image is much better.

In the minds of the people, Liu Xiu is either a middle-aged man in his forties, or a man in his thirties who is powerful and powerful.

But in fact, Liu Xiu is only in his twenties, polite, bookish, and does not have the arrogance of ordinary officials.

This kind of Liu Xiu naturally made people feel good, and many people shouted loudly on the side of the road: "Da Sima! Seeing this, Hu Sheng's face sank, and he said angrily: "These Diao people ......" He was about to scold the people on the roadside, Liu Xiu waved his hand to him, stopped the war horse, and arched his hand to the crowd on the side of the road and said: "In Xia Liu Xiu, today in Zhencheng, kill Wang Langjun,

All for the restoration of the Han Dynasty, you don't have to worry, our Han army has strict military discipline, and the people in the city will never be violated. ”

Liu Xiu's words did not have to reassure the people around him, and he also respected Liu Xiu even more. Soon, some people knelt on their knees, bowed forward, and shouted, "The villain knocks to see Da Sima!" ”

Immediately afterwards, it spread, and more and more people knelt on their knees and shouted in unison: "The villain knocks on Da Sima!" As far as the eye could see, the crowd on both sides of the street was on their knees. Hu Sheng watched secretly from the sidelines, many officials traveled, and the people on both sides of the street also knelt down to welcome, but it was not voluntary, but was forced by the soldiers

Kneeling. But the current situation is different, Liu Xiu did not move a single soldier, there was no verbal intimidation, and the people knelt down spontaneously, which can also be seen through this Liu Xiu's high reputation among the people.

Seeing this, Liu Xiu hurriedly jumped off the war horse and pulled up several people nearby, but there were so many people at the scene, he couldn't pull them up one by one, so he could only bow his hand and say: "Everyone, please get up quickly, such a big gift, Xiu really deserves it!" ”

After a pause, he said faintly: "Xiu was ordered to appease Hebei, with the intention of recovering the Han dynasty in the counties of Hebei, how did I know that Wang Lang suddenly rebelled in Handan, resulting in wars in the counties of Hebei, and the people suffered from it, which is all Xiuzhi's fault!" ”

In fact, Wang Lang's title of emperor has nothing to do with Liu Xiu's half a dime, if it is related, that is, he did not agree with Liu Lin's opinion on breaking the Yellow River, which caused Liu Lin to support Wang Lang instead.

Now Liu Xiu takes all the responsibility on himself, which not only does not make the people resent him, but admires Liu Xiu's character even more. Everyone has a scale in their hearts, and people also have their own judgments about who is good and who is evil.

"Corporal Sima Lixian, who loves the people like a son, how can he be compared to Wang Lang and his ilk!"

"Da Sima doesn't have to blame himself, the rebellion in Hebei is all because of Wang Lang, what does it have to do with Da Sima?"

Listening to the words of the people, Liu Xiu was also very excited.

From the county government to the granary, the distance was not far, but Liu Xiu and his party walked for more than an hour.

Finally arrived at the granary, Hu Sheng couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.

Along the way, Liu Xiu was too close to the people, and he was also worried, for fear of accidents, if Liu Xiu had three long and two short in the city, Liu Xiu's subordinates would be strange if they didn't tear themselves apart!

When I entered the granary, I looked up and saw that in the huge yard, there were straw huts full of grain one after another.

50,000 stone of grain is not a small amount, enough for 50,000 soldiers to eat for a month. While Liu Xiu was inspecting, he asked Hu Sheng: "Is there a famine in the city now?" ”

Hu Sheng hurriedly bowed down and said, "It's okay, it's okay!" ”

Liu Xiu frowned and asked, "What do you mean it's okay?" Yes is yes, no is no! Hu Sheng shrunk his neck, grinned, and said with a smile: "Da Sima, the grain in Zhen County is more than enough to support the locals in Zhen County, but there are many displaced people who have also come to Zhencheng, and these displaced people have nothing to eat, and before winter, the situation is better."

After winter, a few ...... will starve to death every day"

It was a freezing day, and the living conditions for the displaced people were naturally becoming more and more difficult. Liu Xiu pondered for a moment and said: "From now on, the county government will give porridge to the displaced people in the city at least once a day. ”

Hu Sheng was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Da Sima, there is not much grain in the county government......

"If the county government does not have enough food, it will be drawn from these military rations. Now that Zhencheng belongs to the Han family, there can be no more starvation deaths in Zhenxian! Liu Xiu said categorically without doubt.

Hu Sheng hurriedly bowed down and responded: "The lower officials should remember the teachings of Da Sima, and from now on, the county government will set a daily soup soup for the homeless people in the city!" ”

Geng Chun stepped forward and whispered to Liu Xiu: "The lord's approach can certainly help the displaced people, but after all, it is a symptom but not a cure!" ”

There are so many displaced people in Hebei, they can support thousands or tens of thousands of people, but can they afford hundreds of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, or millions?

Liu Xiu smiled bitterly, he didn't know that the practice of soup porridge was a symptom rather than a cure, as long as there was war, as long as there was still war, the people who were unlucky in the end were all people.

He narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully: "The root cause of the disaster in Hebei is not in Lang, but in the righteous army!" ”

Red eyebrows, copper horses, Datong, Gaohu, Qingcalf, etc., hundreds of rebel armies, large and small, were running around all over Hebei, stirring up the people's livelihood.

At the beginning, the purpose of each rebel army was to fight against Mang, but now Wang Mang is dead, and the Xinmang court has been destroyed, but these rebel armies have not been disbanded, and they are still doing their own thing, looting everywhere.

In this case, how can Hebei be peaceful? How can the people of Hebei live in peace?

Hearing Liu Xiu's words, Geng Chun admired it, and the words of the lord went directly to the roots.

Hebei's predicament was not caused by Wang Lang, to put it bluntly, Wang Lang was a speculator who fished in troubled waters in troubled times. The real bane is the rebel army scattered all over Hebei.

In the early days of the uprising, the people took risks in order to survive, and rebelled against the imperial court, and now although their demands have been satisfied, it is impossible for them to dissolve themselves.

Everyone has selfishness and desires, and the team has finally grown up, how can it be disbanded by itself, and how can people give up the rights in their hands in vain. In order to continue to survive and expand the power in their hands, the rebel armies in various places are still recruiting troops and horses, and the situation in Hebei has not improved due to the collapse of the Xinmang court, but has become more chaotic and indispensable

Sky.

At present, here in Hebei, including Jizhou and Youzhou, the big forces can be divided into three forces.

One is the court of the beginning of the revolution represented by Liu Xiu, the other is the court of the Zhao and Han dynasties of Handan headed by Wang Lang, and the other is the rebel army. It's just that the situation of the rebel army is rather special, it is not a whole, there are hundreds of large and small rebel armies within it, each of which operates independently, some cooperate with each other, and some also have disputes, and even do not hesitate to make it big for the sake of their respective spheres of influence

Fight to the death.

Geng Chun bowed his hand to Liu Xiu and said, "The lord is in one word!" ”

Liu Xiu smiled bitterly and said, "Even if we know where the root cause of the disaster is, we are now more than capable of doing so. "Now let Liu Xiu pacify the rebel armies in various places, it is indiscriminate, first of all, Liu Xiu does not have such a strong strength, and secondly, the most direct threat to him at present is Wang Lang, it is impossible for him to give up attacking Wang Lang and go to pacify all over the country

Rebel Army.

Seeing that Liu Xiu clearly knew where the root cause was, and he could sort out the severity and alleviate it, Geng Chun didn't say anything more, bowed to Liu Xiu, and stepped aside.

During Liu Xiu's stay in Zhencheng, the Han system was fully restored.

The officials of the county government required that they must wear official robes made of the Han system, all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes of the people were abolished, all those who were arrested and imprisoned for violating the reckless system were released, and for the displaced people, the county government gave porridge regularly every day, and so on.

These measures have made Liu Xiu win the hearts of the people more and more. The news soon spread to the surrounding areas of Zhen County, and even the people of other counties hoped that the Han army could attack as soon as possible, drive away Wang Lang's army, and take over their own county.

On the morning of this day, Liu Xiu received a report from Cho that the 30,000 Wang Lang army led by Yan Feng had now gone south from Linping and went straight to Zhen County.

In addition, Deng Yu also sent someone to send a message to remind Liu Xiu to prepare for defense in Zhencheng, as long as he can withstand the attack of Yan Feng's department for a day, his own reinforcements can be killed behind Yan Feng's department.

When the time comes, you will attack the Yan Feng Department from both sides, and you will not worry about the Yan Feng Ministry.

Liu Xiu, who received the news, did not dare to delay too much, and immediately began to arrange the city defense of Zhencheng. There are a lot of displaced people in Zhencheng City, which came in handy at this time, Liu Xiu sent people to recruit displaced people to participate in the city defense, which not only replenished the manpower on his side, but also allowed the displaced people to have three meals a day, food and clothing have a minimum guarantee, which can be described as such

Kill two birds with one stone.

During the period of consolidating the city defense, many people in the city also spontaneously participated in the city defense work, helping to transport rolling logs, stones, and arrows. With the full cooperation of the military and the people, the city defense of Zhencheng can be said to be getting stronger and stronger.

In fact, the north of Zhencheng is the flood, and the city itself has natural hazards to assist in defense, but now it is the depths of winter, and the flooding industry has been frozen into a glacier, and it can't stop the army of Yan Feng's department at all.

Three days later, the Yan Feng Department crossed the river and arrived at Zhencheng.

Because there were Deng Yu, Wu Han, and Geng Yi chasing after the Han army, Yan Feng did not dare to stop for a moment, and the whole army only rested for a while, so he ordered the army to attack the city, and it was necessary to tear open the city defense and attack the city before dark.

Under the order of Yan Feng, Wang Lang's army of 30,000 launched a fierce attack on the northern city of Zhencheng. Yan Fengjun ran in a hurry, and the army did not carry large-scale siege weapons, relying entirely on the strength of the crowd and charging at the head of the city.

On the Zhencheng side, Liu Xiu personally went into battle and commanded his soldiers to fight on the city wall. As the main force of Wang Lang's army advanced, the offensive and defensive battles between the two sides began to break out in full force.
