Chapter 631: The people's resentment boils
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
Soon after Liu Xiu and his party entered Nanyang, Hua Feiyan summoned Yunxi Pavilion's eyeliner in Nanyang and asked him to tell him about the specific situation here in Nanyang.
The Yunxi Pavilion spies carefully told the current situation in Nanyang. After Liu Xiu and the others heard this, they knew that Deng Feng was not in Xinye, but fought against Wu Han in the south.
The spies couldn't tell exactly where they were fighting, because the battle situation was changing too quickly, and the two sides might still be fighting in Xiangxiang today, and they could go to Caiyang or Tongling tomorrow to fight.
As for Wancheng, the situation is even more chaotic, in the north of Wancheng, there is Dong Xun's army stationed, and in the south of Wancheng, there is Deng Zhongjun's army stationed.
Today, the two sides fight in the north of the city, and tomorrow the two sides fight in the south of the city, in short, the Wanxian area is in chaos all day long, fighting back and forth. After listening to the narration of the Yunxi Pavilion spies, Liu Xiu pondered for a while and muttered: "Since Deng Feng is not in Xinye, but fighting in the south, I think that after Lihua and Xiling arrive in Nanyang, they may not go to Xinye, but they are likely to go to Deng Zhong."
”
Hua Feiyan didn't know much about Deng Zhong, she asked, "Your Majesty, what kind of person is Deng Zhen?" ”
Liu Xiu shook his head and smiled, and said: "Compared with Deng Feng, Deng Zhong is narrow-minded, but he is quick-witted and scheming, and he is not easy to deal with. ”
He didn't have a good impression of Deng Zhong, in fact, Deng Zhong's character was indeed very poor. But Deng Zhong and Deng Feng's brotherly relationship is very deep, otherwise, with his character, who cares about Yuan Fei'er's life or death.
Hua Feiyan frowned slightly and said, "If it is really as Your Majesty said, before Yin Guiren and Xu Meiren go to see Deng Zhong, we must stop them!" ”
Liu Xiu nodded, and said in his heart, Liu Xiu would rather Yin Lihua and Xu Xiling fall into the hands of Deng Feng than the two of them fall into the hands of Deng Zhong.
Deng Feng is still very emotional, Lihua and his childhood sweetheart have a deep relationship, and it is unlikely that Deng Feng will do too much to Lihua.
But Deng is different, this person is insidious and despicable, once Lihua and Xiling fall into his hands, anything can happen.
After meeting with the spies of Yunxi Pavilion, Liu Xiu and his party decided to go to Wancheng.
At present, Wancheng is at war, and the city has long been closed, and the people inside can't get out, and the people outside can't get in. Liu Xiu, Hua Feiyan, Long Yuan and others went to a small town in the west of Wancheng.
This small town is called Pingzhen, and there are more than 100 families living in it, with a total of more than 500 people. Because Pingzhen is close to the county seat, the three industries of agriculture and commerce are very prosperous. There are many shops in the town, as well as taverns and inns.
After Liu Xiu and the five of them entered the town, they booked five rooms in an inn. Now that Wancheng is at war, there are very few merchants and tourists passing through Pingzhen, and most of the rooms in the inn are empty.
After settling down, Hua Feiyan left alone to find the spies of Yunxi Pavilion and explain that if they lay eyeliner around Wancheng, they would search for the traces of Yin Lihua and Xu Xiling.
Liu Xiu, Long Yuan, Long Zhun, and Long Xiao had nothing to do in the room, and they were hungry, so they went to the lobby of the inn, ordered some food, and sat in the lobby to eat.
The inn's guest room business is not very good, but there are many diners. Many diners come here just to have a drink and have a chat.
After Liu Xiu sat down, he glanced around, and there were really a lot of diners who came here to eat and drink, and there were one or twenty people seated.
Not far from Liu Xiu's table, there were several dark-skinned men wearing sackcloth and linen pants, looking like they were either farmers from Pingzhen or fishermen from Pingzhen.
Several people each ordered a bowl of wine, and then asked the store to help cook the crabs they caught, and they ate crabs while drinking.
As early as the Zhou Dynasty, the people of the Central Plains had begun to eat crabs, and crabs were often used during sacrifices. Several people were so drunk that their faces were red and their necks were thick, and one of them said endlessly: "This time, the Luoyang army was defeated in Nanyang, and if you want to fight back in the future, it will be even more difficult, this Nanyang, and even the entire Jingzhou, will be people sooner or later."
Deng Feng's world! ”
"I don't think so, Luoyang soldiers are strong and strong, there are many generals, this time it is defeated, and it will definitely have to fight back in the future! Nanyang is the emperor's hometown, and he Liu Xiu is the emperor in Luoyang, can he put Nanyang down? ”
"Call back? By what to call back? Deng Fengcai raised the army for a few days, and now there are 100,000 troops, this time the Luoyang army is defeated, the morale is even stronger, and the strength will increase greatly. ”
Another man nodded in approval, shook his head and said: "I think he Liu Xiu is too crazy, he wants to fight Red Eyebrows, Jingzhou, and Liu Yong, and fight on three sides, how can he not lose?" ”
"It's nothing to fight on three sides, but as a native of Nanyang, he Liu Xiu should treat Nanyang well, but what did the Luoyang army do when they arrived in Nanyang? burning, killing and looting, doing all kinds of evil, Liu Xiu is really ashamed of the people of Nanyang! ”
"is also from Nanyang, Deng Feng is much stronger than Liu Xiu!" "That's it!"
Their conversation also resonated with other diners, and many people participated, commenting on the Nanyang dispute between Liu Xiu and Deng Feng.
Here in Nanyang, no one has spread the word that Deng Feng's rebellion is for Yin Lihua, and this kind of rumor has no market here in Nanyang. Shi Eun should be the ruling Jinwu, and marrying a wife should be Yin Lihua. Liu Xiu's famous saying back then was too famous in Nanyang, and the people of Nanyang basically knew that Liu Xiu began to be infatuated with Yin Lihua when he went to school, and it all depended on others to finally be able to hold the beauty
's own ability, there is no such thing as snatching love from the sword. Moreover, Deng Feng's background is much better than Liu Xiu's, the Deng family is a famous family in Xinye, and only Deng Feng can take Liu Xiu's share if you want to say that you want to win love.
However, now the people of Nanyang generally support Deng Feng, and there are many dissatisfaction with Liu Xiu.
The main reason is that after Wu Han led the army into Nanyang, he did not do anything good, not to mention looting everywhere, and also slaughtered Xinye City, which was the most unacceptable to the people of Nanyang.
People don't blame Wu Han, the minister of Luoyang, but only Liu Xiu, the son of Luoyang. If Liu Xiu is not from Nanyang, that's it, the people's hostility towards him will not be as big as it is now, the key question, Liu Xiu is a native of Nanyang, you are now the emperor, but you treat the people of Nanyang like this, and people are
There is a kind of psychological gap of betrayal, and there is naturally a lot of dissatisfaction and hostility towards Liu Xiu.
Liu Xiu, who was sitting in the crowd, couldn't eat after only a few bites of food. He put down his chopsticks and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
As an emperor, it is not just to enjoy the glory, wealth and supreme power and finish the work, but the big and small mistakes made by the people below must all be recorded on the head of him, the emperor.
Long Yuan, Long Zhun, and Long Xiao looked at each other, and a fierce light flashed in their eyes. The three of them raised their hands in unison and reached for their swords under their ribs.
It was just an instant, and the heavy murderous aura emanating from the three of them seemed to make the surrounding temperature plummet by several degrees.
The people at the table sitting in the corner subconsciously looked at Long Yuan and the others, and at the same time frowned.
Just as Long Yuan and the others were about to get up, Liu Xiu glanced at them and stopped the three of them from taking the next step. Long Yuan, Long Zhun, and Long Xiao forcibly suppressed their anger and slowly let go of the hand holding the hilt of the sword.
If this is not Nanyang, but in Luoyang, the three of Long Yuan can kill these people who chew the tongue of the Son of Heaven on the spot.
As the three of them let go of their swords, the murderous aura that leaked from their bodies also converged. The person sitting at the table in the corner of the wall slowly relaxed his tense nerves.
Long Yuan, Long Zhun, and Long Xiao didn't notice them, but Liu Xiu did. When Long Yuan's murderous aura leaked out, the people at the table felt the abnormality almost at the same time, and they also held the saber without leaving a trace.
Liu Xiu turned his head and looked at the people at the table. Three men and one woman. The three men were not very old, they looked like they were in their twenties, they were dressed ordinarily, but they were all wearing swords.
The woman looked younger, eighteen or nineteen years old, looking at the bun, long hair to the waist, tied with a woman, which indicated that she was a girl who had not left the cabinet.
Generally, married women have to wear their hair in a bun, such as Lingyun bun, Feiyun bun, Lingxu bun, Chaoyun near fragrant bun, etc., there are many styles and variety, which are much more beautiful than the ponytail combed by the girl who has not left the pavilion.
When Liu Xiu looked at the three men and one woman, the other party also looked at him, and the eyes of both sides met together, and the three men all bowed their heads. Liu Xiu also nodded, and then withdrew his gaze.
Long Yuan whispered, "Childe, why don't we go back to the room and eat?" ”
As the saying goes, out of sight and out of mind, there are almost no people here who say good things about Liu Xiu, sitting here is simply a crime, it is better to go back to the room and sit.
Liu Xiu took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and waved his hand to Long Yuan, indicating that it was okay. He also wanted to find out through these diners how much dissatisfaction and accusations the people of Nanyang had against him.
The diners were still talking to each other, when suddenly there was chaos outside, and many people were shouting and running on the streets.
The diners in the inn didn't understand what was going on, but the shopkeeper reacted quickly, ran out as soon as possible, stopped a panicked pedestrian, and asked, "This big brother, what's going on in the town?" ”
"Don't ask, run! The thieves have come in! And killed people! After the pedestrian finished speaking, he pushed the shopkeeper open and continued to run forward.
Shopkeeper looked surprised, swallowed his saliva, returned to the inn, and said loudly: "The thief army has entered the town!" ”
"Thieves? What army of thieves? Is it the Luoyang Army? Or the Red Eyebrow Army? Deng Fengjun? A diner asked loudly.
"I don't know, people on the street are running now, let's run quickly!" The shopkeeper said with a flustered expression.
The diners could not care about continuing to eat and drink, and they got up one after another, wanting to leave the inn, but it was too late.
I saw a large group of soldiers rushing in, and in the blink of an eye, they controlled the street in front of the inn, and some of the people who had not had time to flee knelt on the ground, bowed their heads, and trembled with fear.
These soldiers who rushed into Pingzhen were neither the Han army, nor the Red Mei army, nor the Deng Feng army, but Dong Xun's army.
Deng Zhong and Dong Xun held each other with the Han army here in Wancheng, and it was nothing to hold each other for a short time, but after a long time, neither Deng Zhong nor Dong Xun could stand it, mainly because the grain and grass were not crowded.
The speed of Deng Feng's expansion is too fast, and the grain and grass reserves are far from enough to support an army of 60,000 people. The easiest and most direct way is to grab it.
But Deng Feng expanded his power so quickly by winning the hearts of the people, robbing the people of food, wouldn't it be the same as the Han army? It is bound to be spurned by the people of Nanyang.
Therefore, even if he wants to come out to grab grain, Deng will not do this dirty work by himself, and this matter can only fall on Dong Xun's head. Dong Xun has already decided to take refuge in Deng Feng, so he doesn't mind too much if he comes forward to do this dirty talk now. This group of soldiers who attacked Pingzhen was Dong Xun's subordinates, and the number was not very large, only one hundred and eighty, and Dong Xun sent his subordinates to loot Pingzhen.
