Chapter 564 Yan Rou died
Liu He nodded and said, "When the emperor was there, he once told me that after returning to Youzhou, he was waiting to rescue the court. Unexpectedly, after many years, the Xiliang army became stronger and stronger, and Youzhou was still so weak. I'm sorry for the kindness of the saint."
Yan Rou's heart was sad. After he unified Youzhou, he didn't want to establish a reputation, and everything in front of him was completely destroyed because of the Xiliang army. He had never been so angry with a person. If Jia Rong was in front of him, he couldn't wait to jump on it and take a few bites fiercely. The successive battles made Youzhou more Poverty is as poor as washing, but now there are starvation bones on the road. From some rumors, after Yan Rou learned the thoughts of ordinary people, her heart was full of anger.
The people want the Xiliang Army to enter Liaoxi, and public opinion spread quickly among the people. Under the influence of the people, the people soon know what the lives of the people under the Xiliang Army are like.
It's the same person. No one wants to live worse than others, and so do the people.
The people under the Xiliang Army live a happy and healthy life. Adjacent to it, the people will naturally have some careful thoughts. These are not secrets in Liaoxi County.
Such a situation, of course, is not what Liu He is happy to see, but until now, the power is still in the hands of Yan Rou and others. Even if he is willing, he is unable to save the situation. Unlike Wang Yun at the beginning, he does not feel anything wrong with Jia Rong. He has been serving the emperor all day long, but he is with the soldiers in the army. Eating and drinking is many times better than Cao Cao, a person who is superficial and behind him. He wondered why Emperor Han chose to go to Yanzhou instead of staying in the Xiliang Army. Is it because of the world's views on Jia Rong?
After arriving in Yanzhou, Liu He has never been happy.
"Go ahead, get ready. The Xiliang Army will not give up. It's better to unite with Liaodong. The truth that his lips are dead and his teeth are cold. Presumably, Gongsun Du also understands it." Liu Hedao.
Yan Rou was shocked. She didn't know why Liu He, who had always been very weak, had such words. It seemed that she still underestimated Liu He. How could he be a mediocre person who could play with the civil and military officials in the court in front of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty? Once such a person has power in his hands, he will go further.
When Jia Rongbing came to Youzhou, Liu He did not feel the slightest panic. He once stayed under Jia Rong. Naturally, he knew some policies of the Xiliang Army, which were very generous to the prisoners. Liu He appreciated this. Long gave birth to dragons and phoenixes gave birth to phoenixes. Liu Yu adopted the Huairou policy for the Wuhuan people before his death, which was very good for the Wuhuan people who defected. Liu He was also more or less infected. When he saw Jia Rong's behavior, he was quite appreciative. Today's words are also from the bottom of his heart.
A day of anxious life is finally over. Yan Rou returned to his house. On the surface, Liu He is still in the decision of the state pastoral government. Especially when the storm is turbulent in Youzhou, he doesn't want to spread any rumors anymore. When he was strong before, he could not care, but now it's different. Everything should be cautious. Some, so as not to be honest.
"General, there are people blocking the way ahead." The driver said.
Yan Rou was a little irritable and waved her hand and said, "Order the soldiers to drive them away."
The groom muttered a few words outside the car, and Yan Rou heard the constant scolding of soldiers from outside the carriage.
It suddenly occurred to me that Jia Rong once served benevolent government in Chang'an and had the current strength in the land of Jincheng County. He couldn't help saying, "Don't let them go!"
Yan Rou walked out of the carriage and saw more than a dozen people on the road in front of her, ragged clothes and starvation on their faces. She couldn't help but feel that these people blocked the way just to beg for some food.
"General, what should I do?"
Yan Rou smiled as she thought she was the most gentle and said, "Give these people something to eat." Since ancient times, the people did not fight with officials, and the people could openly block the way. Obviously, they were forced to die.
Giving the people some food, Yan Rou looked at the people who were grateful and kowtowed. The unhappiness in her heart suddenly dissipated a lot. In Youzhou, he could still do a lot of things. At least he controlled the tens of thousands of people in the city.
The carriage moved forward slowly, and a general came forward and said, "General, these people follow the carriage. No matter how the soldiers drive away, they will not leave."
Hearing this, Yan Rou made the groom stop the carriage and slowly walked out of the carriage.
"Fathers and elders of the villagers, now is the time of crisis in Youzhou. The Xiliang Army knocks to the side, even the soldiers in the army, and it is difficult to eat enough. I will do my best to do good for the people, get rid of the current predicament, and strive to restore normal order in Youzhou as soon as possible." Yan Rou said vividly.
The soldiers beside him took a look at Yan Rou in surprise. Previously, he heard that Yan Rou, who was very impatient when people blocked the way, suddenly turned into this.
"Thank you, my lord, thank you!" More than a dozen people kowtowed again.
Yan Rou pointed to a people and said, "Come forward."
The people glanced at the left and right. They didn't know why. After all, they were ordinary people. They didn't know any etiquette. They hurriedly got up from the ground and came in the direction of Yan Rou.
A general stood not far in front of Yan Rou and stopped the people and scolded, "Don't you see the general quickly."
Seeing that the people didn't understand this, Yan Rou didn't care. She laughed and said, "They are all ordinary people. How can they know so much?"
"Why block the road?" Yan Rou asked.
"I didn't eat at home, and I really couldn't live any longer, so I thought of stopping the official's carriage." The people replied.
Yan Rou carefully explained the current situation in Youzhou, regardless of whether the people can understand it. Anyway, he is trying to learn from Jia Rong's kindness to the people, hoping to revive the current situation in Youzhou.
Yan Rou waved her hand to signal the people to leave. In an instant, there was still a frightened face of the people. A sharp color flashed in her eyes and quickly approached Yan Rou. The cold light in her hand flashed, and a cold light flashed.
Unprepared, Yan Rou could only watch the weapon cut his throat in a daze. He never thought that the people who were still very afraid just now changed their appearance in an instant and became an assassin who was not afraid of life and death, and his previous disguise was so good that people could not notice any clues.
A moment after the incident, the soldiers nearby reacted and kept shouting to catch the assassin.
The people with a sallow face are very vigorous. They rush left and right between the soldiers, and no one can stop them, and the people they meet along the way have no good end.
When the remaining people saw this change, instead of showing fear, they came forward one after another to stop the soldiers. After a while, the bodies of more than a dozen soldiers appeared in the field, and more than a dozen people also took the opportunity to escape.
Yan Rou's death is the biggest blow to Liaoxi County. Under the coordination of Yan Rou, all the generals and soldiers can still live in peace. After all, he is the leader who was jointly elected by the generals and soldiers at the beginning. Over the years, he has been quite prestigious among the generals and soldiers. Once he dies, it will be a great blow to the sergeants of the army, and there are constantly generals. Ling fought with other generals for his own interests and lifted the last veil. Everyone seemed so unbearable. Liu He came forward and had little influence on the sergeants and soldiers. It was time to fight and make trouble. Many people even guessed the owner of the assassin on the body of some generals. Yan Rou was in charge of Youzhou. In Zili, he has always been in power and does not give others the slightest chance at all. Even Liu He is honest under his hands.
The chaos in Liaoxi made the Xiliang army see an opportunity. Zhao Yun led a thousand light riders and attacked the county city at night. In response from the people in the city, he invaded the city, recaptured the last county city in Yan Rou's hands, and almost unified Youzhou.
After occupying Liaoxi, Zhao Yun first stabilized the situation in the city, attracted the army and soldiers to completely settle down the city, and then restored the normal order in the city and began to deal with prisoners of war.
With no intention, most of the Youzhou soldiers became prisoners of the Xiliang Army.
When Liu He saw that the general trend in the city had been determined, he defected to the Xiliang Army. With Liu He's surrender, Zhao Yun accepted the Youzhou military transformation more simply. Anyway, Liu He is a nominal Youzhou herdsman and has absolute voice over the military and politics. However, because of the previous dictatorship of Yan Rou, it has caused a situation of no power in his hands, and now Yan Rou died, and Liu He represented Youzhou.
On the one hand, it stabilizes the situation of the whole Liaoxi, and on the other hand, it is a great encouragement for the whole Western Liang Army to defeat Yan Rou. Youzhou is poor, and Liangzhou is the same. Jia Rong can make Liangzhou into a prosperous place. Naturally, Youzhou is not only the officials full of confidence, but also the people of Youzhou are The new owner is full of confidence.
The recovery of Liaoxi County has eased the urgent situation in Chang'an a lot. The successive surveys have paid great efforts. The lonely wolf punished the assassination day and night, and investigated the places where the people in black once haunted. Fenglailou is the most important place for investigation. After all, the people in black once appeared here, and the owner of Fenglailou is elegant. He behaved very calmly and ran to the general's mansion when he had nothing to do, and tried his best to cooperate with the action of the general's mansion.
It has been investigated for ten days. At the beginning, Jia Rong's death order was to investigate for three days. Unexpectedly, the situation became more and more complicated, especially there were spies in the workshop. The three blacksmiths finally confessed that they had taken out weapons from the workshop, but these weapons were obviously not the same as the batch they saw in Xuzhou. The grade, that amount, is enough to affect the situation in Xuzhou at the beginning.
After thinking hard, Jia Rong simply put down the government affairs in his hand for the time being and played with his two sons. It is said that since Wei Fu and Cai Yan gave birth to a son separately, Mi Huan Cai Ling and Xiuer did not move, but Jia Rong also worked very hard.
As Jia Rong thought, the two sons gradually showed different preferences. The eldest son, Jia Ren, likes reading, but unlike scholars who generally read Confucian classics, it is similar to the cultivation officials of the Xiliang Army. They just choose some classic passages to watch. He didn't learn at all. For this reason, Cai Yong talked to Cai Yan a lot. After all, he was his grandson, and he might be Jia Rong's heir. How could he be such a tiger head and a snake tail? Cai Yan also indirectly asked Jia Rong, and was excused by Jia Rong on the grounds that he had the greatest preference.
