Lu's relatives

Chapter 372 Misfortune caused Xiao Qiang, Emperor Tu became a dream
Danyang County Government Office, in Liyang City.

Right now is the spring season in the south of the Yangtze River, but this place is full of depression.

On the already quite old city streets, one or two old men who happened to pass by indiscriminately and staggered, but they were all carrying heavy wooden plows, dragging them step by step, their faces covered with wind and frost. With a dull but tired expression, only the childish child who is wearing patched clothes that cannot distinguish the color, jumping and following behind, has a sweet smile on his sad little face, and uses lotus root and melon in a sensible way. With arms that looked like they were insignificant, they helped one of the old men hold the plow.Only at this time, the old man's indifferent eyes like dead ashes will flash a little bit of expression, he will grin his dry lips with only one or two loose teeth, squeeze out a kind smile, and turn his head to look at him again. Surrounded by envious old men, they showed a bit of bitter complacency.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Old things, you are blocking the men's official duties, don't you want to live anymore!" A few stout officials rudely pushed the grandparents and grandchildren who were not in the way aside, raised their eyebrows, and made a gesture He wanted to fight, but he was held back by his colleagues, so he resentfully stopped, and fell to the ground. The old man and his party, who seemed to be protecting the child full of hatred under their arms, spat in disgust and swayed their bodies. Holding a roll of yellow silk in his hand, he walked towards the city gate.

"These goddamn scum!" Seeing that the officer was going further and further away, the old men on the side hurriedly helped the old man up, looked around and looked around, and then lowered their heads and cursed in a low voice , supporting each other and walking away.

"Emperor Zhong's order is that today there are bandits from the Han Dynasty who are coming to invade our land and take advantage of our people. All our citizens, who are over 50 years old and under [-] years old, should have the ambition to join the army and serve the country! Serve the Zhong family. Confess your wife and son, honor your ancestors!"

"Emperor Zhong has an order, and now..."

The messengers put their heart into it, pasted yellow silk on the gate of the now empty city, and took turns to read loudly to the empty streets in the city over and over again, not knowing who to listen to.

"Father, I can't do my work anymore! Danyang is a place with a small population, and it was forcibly confiscated a while ago! It is said that the surname Li said that their emperor's decree said that we should confiscate thousands of people within ten days." Send people to the front line, otherwise they will go to see them, this is only after they begged for grace! But now in Danyang County, the women in the house have no clothes, and the fields are full of old and weak. How can there be any strong people to recruit? Back then, my father and son were considered the No. [-] people in Jiangdong, how did they end up in this situation?" In the Liyang City barracks, Yan Yu grumbled bitterly at his father, Yan Baihu, with a look of resentment on his face, road.

"Oh, what's the rush!" Yan Baihu was not irritated by his precious son's words, and seemed unmoved by Yan Yu's words, sitting on the soft couch with the old god still, "holding upside down" a scroll of bamboo slips in his hand , I watched it with gusto.

"Father was originally a hero. Even if he fell into trouble, he should look for an opportunity to make a comeback. Could it be that he can be a prince of the Zhong family dynasty with peace of mind?" Regardless of whether you can read or not, you have taken all your books down. Got who?Yan Yu saw his father's perfunctory intentions, and sat beside Yan Baihu, dumbfounded, and said dissatisfied.

"Huh...you, you!" Yan Baihu knew that he couldn't hide the truth from his precious son, so he threw the slip of paper by the couch, with a faint smile on his face, and said, "My son, do you know why my father is there?" When Yuan Gonglu took my troops and put my father and son under house arrest, how could he deal with it calmly?"

"This..., could it be your father's plan to send news and yours? No, I and other soldiers who have settled down have all been deported by Yuan Shu. How... er... I hope my father will express it!" Yan Yu Hearing Yan Baihu's question, he subconsciously said what he was worried about, but seeing Yan Baihu's smiling face, he didn't know what he said was wrong, so he lowered his head and asked.

"Yu'er, look at this situation, whether it is Emperor Liu or Emperor Yuan, it won't last long. Remember, if you want to survive in this troubled world, don't rely too much on anyone! You can only rely on yourself!" Yan Baihu A gleam of wisdom flashed across the rough face, and he said pointedly: "The faction that sent us the news, although my father is still not sure who they are, they will not be able to escape from those families in the Central Plains after all. Their meaning is clearly understood by the father, whether it is to support the bandit's self-respect or to muddy the muddy water to cover up the news that the Chuanguo Yuxi has changed hands, it is very important to them, but to you and my father and son , isn't it an opportunity?"

"Father means that we have to take action this time? But the military strength..." How can a person who once won half of Jiangdong be a guy with a brain full of muscles?After listening to Yan Baihu's words, Yan Yu seemed to have realized something, but she couldn't grasp the main point, so she approached Yan Baihu and said.

"Military strength?" Yan Baihu looked at the southeast direction with a mocking look, and sneered, "Don't you also know that in Liyang City today, there are only ten young and strong, just these old, weak, sick and disabled, and the ten men in the government office?" There are more than 500 soldiers who say that we still have [-] people, even if it is just you and me, father and son, what is there to be afraid of? Besides, is a father the kind of person who can be persuaded to invest all his wealth in a few words? Even if it is that Someone from Qin came here in person, as a father, he has his own way to deal with it, not to mention, we still have an unused army!"

"Could it be that father wants to seize the city and stand on his own? Then Qin Xu has a deep desire to win Yangzhou, and here in Danyang..." Yan Yu really couldn't keep up with his father's street photos, and didn't understand what Yan Baihu said to Danyang. How can there be such a soft spot for such a poor place!And it seems that he is not afraid of Qin Xu's army, which is said to be shunning even Sun Ce.

"Yu'er, you don't need to know about this now, so that you can comfort the five hundred soldiers left by the Emperor Zhong's family for you and my father and son, and at the same time settle Li Feng and Han Yin well! Just these few days Day, just wait for the news from the front to come, it will be a chance for you and my father and son to get a foothold again!" Yan Baihu stroked his short beard proudly and said.

"Promise!" Yan Yu originally came to ask Yan Baihu to clarify his doubts, but he didn't expect to be even more confused in the end. Seeing that his father didn't mean to talk in depth, he had no choice but to promise and leave.

Just when Yuan Shu and Yan Baihu thought they had a plan, Qin Xu, who stirred up the muddy water, was holding a grand ceremony for Liu Yao, who had made a trip to Xuchang and was renamed Yangzhou Shepherd by the emperor. Entrance Ceremony".

Even though he instinctively captured or beheaded Sun Ce that day, Qin Xu unexpectedly released Sun Ce back unscathed, which made boss Liu Yao unhappy, and even "destroyed his reputation" by revealing that Some of his own "scandalous incidents" came to blackmail Guo Jia, but Qin Xu still saw that Liu Yao and Guo Jia had some unspeakable relationship after all. In the previous appointment, Sun Ce forced the public opinion under his command, and Qu'a City, which was vacated, was handed back to Liu Yao.Liu Yao's complexion turned better after suffering for several days. However, after inspecting the Qu'a treasury, which was still full before his family left, he found that the treasury was full of rice and grain, but now it was empty. There was no such thing as a mouse, and Sun Cepi had been stripped alive, and even Qin was shot while lying down, which didn't make Liu Yao look good.

"Zhongming, Yuan Shu stationed troops at Xiaoguan this time, with great intentions to defend to the death! Although Xiaoguan is not well-known, it is not as famous as Hulao, Sishui and other passes, but it is also built on the mountain, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It's time to activate Wen Hebu's pawns!" Ever since Liu Yao publicly called out his family affairs that day, Guo Jia had indeed been depressed for more than half an hour, but he seemed to be fine again. In general, someone from Qin who deliberately gossiped about the affair between Handsome Guo and the two daughters of the Liu family seemed to have punched the cotton with his fist.This time, Guo Jia took the news from Jia Xu's shadow and rushed to see Qin Xu.

"It's better not to use it for the time being. It's a chess piece that we used to balance the relative balance of power in Yangzhou and it was all for my use. It's just that this chess piece is an idle chess piece. If I don't wait for Yuan Shu to It hurts, I guess that chess piece will not act rashly!" Qin Xu said with a smile.Although Yangzhou now has the three forces of Sun Ce, Liu Yao, and Yuan Shu who are about to be defeated because of Qin Xu's involvement, this time Qin Xu is "ordered" to wipe out Yuan Shu's rebels. The matter of the State Jade Seal came to a reasonable conclusion, so Yuan Shu would naturally not be allowed to stay.But in this case, there is only one Sun Ce and Liu Yao fighting each other in Yangzhou, and it is too easy to tell the winner.Although Sun Ce has few soldiers and due to Lu Bujun's "face", he may be able to accommodate Liu Yao for a while, but Zhou Yu under Sun Ce's command is not a vegetarian, and the three Liu Yao will not be Zhou Yu's opponents, so Qin Xu Very "enthusiastic" to help Yuan Shu, who also did not like Liu Yao and Sun Ce, find a successor.Let Yangzhou, a big state that almost occupies nearly one-sixth of the whole territory of the Han Dynasty, be more lively before Lu Bu's army has the strength to swallow them all!At the same time, it also reminds the surrounding forces who also want to covet Yangzhou.Therefore, a hearty battle against Yuan Shu became the prerequisite for all this.

"Well, that's fine. Yuan Shu would never have imagined that Danyang, which he thought had the power of Xiaoguan and Fuguan, was strong enough to resist our army and Sun Ce's attack, but it was within Xiaoqiang." Guo Jia listened to Qin. After what Xu said, there was no dispute because Qin Xu's words were different from his own, but he nodded in agreement.
"Feng Xiao is really broad-minded, Qin admires it, Yangzhou, we are bound to win this time!..." Seeing that Guo Jia agreed with his suggestion, Qin Xu was in a good mood, and he was very magnanimous towards Guo Jia He looked admiring, and said with a smile, but changed the subject, and suddenly asked: "I don't know where the two Miss Liu who Liu Yangzhou said had a deep relationship with Fengxiao are now? How about Rong Xu worshiping his sister-in-law..."
