Tian Qi was pushed by Cao Xing and staggered, if it weren't for the man behind him to help him, it is estimated that his ass would have had a close contact with the earth.

"You!"

Tian Qi's whole face was twitching, and you can imagine the anger in his chest. As Hou Wen's confidant, there are not a few people in Jingzhong who want to confront him. Even if Cao Xing has the support of Da Sima, he should not be so arrogant, after all, Hou Wen has a bigger Son of Heaven to rely on behind him, and if he can't get along with Hou Wen, he will openly slap the Son of Heaven in the face.

However, the situation is stronger than people, and now when it comes to the combat strength of the two sides, how can this group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals under Tian Qi be the opponent of the wolf cavalry battalion.

In this situation, he had to swallow his anger.

So, Tian Qi instructed the man to put grain and retreated. Out of such a big basket, of course he had to go and tell Hou Wen, otherwise, he couldn't afford this responsibility.

Under the shade of a tree not far away, Lu Bu saw Tian Qi fleeing, tilted his head slightly, and ordered from the side: "Chen Wei, you go and follow this person, and then bring Hou Wen to me." ”

Chen Wei nodded and quickly followed.

As long as Lu Bu gives the order, not to mention the capture of the imperial history, it is the three princes and nine secretaries, and they will no longer talk about it.

Bags of grain were thrown into the pot and boiled, and the eyes of the refugees in the long line lit up, and their dry throats did not know how many times they swallowed.

For hungry refugees, being able to have a full meal is the best wish in the world.

When the old man in first place took the bowl full of porridge and rice, the two bone-like palms couldn't help but tremble, and after saying a few words of gratitude to Cao Xing, he took the bowl and found a place to sit down, and the old man burst into tears.

With the wolf riding camp pressing the formation, these refugees naturally did not dare to be presumptuous, and came up to receive food in an orderly manner.

Cao Xuan stuck his waist and nodded from time to time.

Not to mention, this feeling of doing good deeds is really cool.

On the refugee side, Cao Xing commanded in an orderly manner, and Lu Bu didn't bother to come forward. Through this year's drought, he has seen many potential hidden dangers.

First of all, the court has no credibility among the people, and the people do not want to trust the court, which is a terrible thing.

What Lu Bu has to do is to let the people regain their confidence in the imperial court.

Mencius has a cloud in "Under the Chapters and Sentences of the Heart": The people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light. Therefore, the people of the hill are the sons of heaven, the sons of heaven are the princes, and the princes are the doctors.

Only by winning the hearts of the people can we truly sit firmly in Guanzhong.

As long as the drought can be safely overcome, Lu Bu's reputation, or the prestige of the imperial court, will surely be supported by the people again.

For Lu Bu, this is also a great opportunity to establish the prestige of the people.

About half an hour later, Chen Wei, who had been ordered to leave, led the servant Shi Houwen to Lu Bu.

Hou Wen is in his early forties, of medium height, slightly shy on his stomach, and the smile on his face looks like a harmless old man.

This is just the surface of Hou Wen, and those who are familiar with him know that this guy is actually not a good person.

"Xiaguan greets Da Sima!"

Hou Wen came up is a big gift, he was enjoying a comfortable time at home, but he didn't feel comfortable for a long time, first heard Tian Qi report that someone was making trouble in the porridge shed, but before he could figure it out, Chen Wei had already broken in.

Hearing Lu Bu's summons, Hou Wen, who had a keen sense of smelling dangerous things, sighed in his heart and guessed that it would be nothing good.

What can you do with the support of the Son of Heaven, in this world, whoever holds the military power in his hands is the boss.

After Dong Zhuo's rebellion, Hou Wen was very clear about this.

"Hou Yushi, Your Majesty asked you to open Taicang to help the victims, but you only take out more than ten bags of grain every day, I'm afraid this practice is a bit inappropriate, right?"

Lu Bu broke his knuckles, and the corners of his mouth smiled, but people didn't feel the slightest smile, but made people feel extremely cold.

has been rooted in the court for many years, Hou Wen is such a keen character, he heard Lu Bu's opening remarks, and he already knew it in his heart, but what he didn't expect was that Lu Bu would come and intervene.

"Da Sima, His Majesty appreciates the importance of raising love and entrusting him with the important task of relieving the people, and he has always been sincerely afraid of exhaustion, and he never dares to slack off, please Da Sima Mingjian!"

Hou Wen said loudly, arching and pretending, looking at his appearance, he was simply wronged.

"Oh, what I saw with my own eyes, is there still a fake?"

Lu Bu pointed to the side where the grain was put and said to Hou Wen, if you don't believe it, you can just find a refugee to come and ask.

As soon as these words came out, Hou Wen's face changed in an instant, but fortunately, he reacted quickly enough.

As the so-called dead friends do not die in the poor way, until now, they can only push out these inconsequential chess pieces to take the blame.

"It's disgusting that these heartless fellows actually ignore my orders! As early as before, I told me countless times that refugees are also human beings, and we should take them to heart, and cook at least half a stone of grain in each pot to ensure the basic survival of the people. Who would have thought that these guys would dare to fill their pockets behind my back, Da Sima, please rest assured, I will go back and put all these dereliction of duty dogs in prison, and dismiss them for investigation! Hou Wen suddenly changed from the humble role of Fang Cai, and said that he was filled with righteous indignation, gritted his teeth, and wanted to immediately rule these corrupt officials and corrupt officials.

Lu Bu saw it in his eyes, if there was no intelligence information provided by the school affairs department, he might have believed it.

However, after knowing the truth, Hou Wen's performance, in Lu Bu's opinion, is just a self-directed and self-acting clown who jumps off the beam.

Lu Bu did not debunk it, but followed Hou Wen's words and said: "This incident has a great impact, and the people no longer trust the imperial court, which is not a good thing, so I want to borrow something from Hou Yushi to calm the hearts of the people." ”

Seeing that Lu Bu did not scold, Hou Wen was secretly happy in his heart, thinking that Lu Bu had been deceived by him, so he patted his chest vigorously and said extremely heroically: "Although Da Sima speaks, as long as the subordinate can give it, he will never say half a word!" ”

Hou Wen replied so refreshingly, Lu Bu was also very happy, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more vigorous: "I want to borrow the head of the imperial history, I don't know if Hou Yushi will borrow it?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the smile on Hou Wen's face froze in an instant, and he laughed dryly, still feeling lucky: "Da Sima, are you joking?" ”

"What do you say?" Lu Bu smiled undiminishedly, as if he had everything in his hands.

Hou Wen finally understood at this time that Lu Bu asked him to come here just to use him to establish authority and stabilize the people's hearts.

So, he desperately wanted to escape, but the moment he turned around, two or three rough men immediately came up and pressed him to the ground, making him unable to move.

"I am appointed by His Majesty, even if I am wrong, it will not be your turn to punish me!"

Hou Wen, who had gnawed a few mouthfuls of dirt, shouted loudly, and now he could only move out of the Son of Heaven to suppress Lu Bu.
