Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 405 Chaotic Chang'an

The leaders of the three halls looked at each other, nodded to each other, approved Feng Xi's words, each clasped fists at Feng Xi, without saying much, turned around and led the men in black under their respective subordinates, and quickly disappeared from sight!
"Hehe, brothers! Let's go back the same way!" Feng Xi laughed.

The other Thirteen Yis yelled "Okay!" and quickly returned to the carriage. Feng Xiru, as he came, picked up the whip, swished the whip, slapped the whip, and shouted: "Drive!!..." The carriage tuned Turning around, he quickly disappeared along the official road.

Two corpses were left on the side of the road. When a gust of wind blew, a half-exposed land deed was completely blown out. It floated in the air, and after a few turns, it flew to the distance, and it happened to land on a man who was cutting firewood in the mountains. at the feet of the middle-aged man

"The land deed?" The man's eyes showed joy, and he bent over to pick it up, but soon his face showed a look of annoyance, he threw away the land deed, carried the firewood and left.

"Oh, I finally got lucky, but it was Yingchuan's land deed!...!" The man sighed.

Now that Yingchuan is under the control of Feng Yuzhou, this kind of title deed will not only not get the land, but will be investigated by the government!
Ever since Feng Yao appointed Diannong Zhonglang General Man Chong to take office, the whole Yuzhou is now talking about this phenomenon!

Chang'an City

If you go to the streets and alleys, the most rumors you hear are food.

"Have you eaten yet?" This is usually the first sentence of acquaintances when they meet. If they are not acquaintances, they will have murderous looks in their eyes, or they will pass each other on guard, or they will rush to fight for their lives. Not for anything else, just looking for a bite to eat.

And the answer is likely to be like this: "No..., I have been hungry for three days, except for some water, I haven't found anything to eat now."

Or: "Have you got something to eat?"

The next step is to talk to each other about who died, who was so cruel, sold his son, and then exchanged a little money to buy food. They were killed for eating meat, but no one could bear to kill their own son in front of their faces.

In other words, a certain rice dealer wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune, secretly transported a batch of grain from other places, and wanted to sell it at a high price, but when the officers and soldiers learned about it, they not only robbed the grain, but also killed everyone. No one will transport food to Chang'an anymore.

In other words, the plague in the East District is now serious, and the dead bodies are in the house, and no one is willing to clean them up. Earn the wages of a meal, and can support a few more days.

In the end, the metropolis often yearns for places with sufficient food and clothing, free from plagues and wars, and talks about the situation in the world.

Among them, the legend about Feng Yao appeared the most.

"If I can have a full meal, I will never hesitate this time. I want to leave Chang'an... I heard that many people who fled from here to Hanzhong said that there is food there, and there are people who give free medical treatment .”

"Hi! What is Hanzhong? The most regretful thing in my life is that I moved from Runan to Chang'an back then!! I thought that the bandits in Runan were making trouble, and Chang'an is the imperial capital, so Chang'an must be a good city. I heard that Runan is under the governance of Feng Yuzhou, with ample food and clothing, living and working in peace and contentment, and having a harmonious wife and concubines, it is really a day like heaven there!"

"Then why don't you go?"

"I think so too, but Runan is a long way away, and we still have to go through war-torn areas on the way. I'm afraid I'll be killed before I reach Luoyang! Why don't you go to Hanzhong first, save your life, and think about it later. Way to go to Nanyang, and then from Nanyang to Runan!"

"Actually, it's also very good to go south from Hanzhong. Hiding in the deep mountains in the south, the weather is warm and you don't have to worry about wars! Not to mention that the Huns from the north will attack!"

"The problem is, if you go to the south, even if you don't starve to death, you will never get up again in this life, and you will always be the lowest commoner! Even if you reach the generation of your descendants, it will be very difficult to get up! Yuzhou is better, Even if you are a commoner, you will live a very happy life. If you work harder, becoming a general is not a dream!"

"Yes, I also heard that many of Feng Yuzhou's generals used to be refugees. As long as they follow him, no matter whether they are capable or not, which one is not rich in millions and has many wives and concubines!! I decided, tomorrow I will Let’s set off, flee south first, and then walk through the mountains, so that we can avoid the officers and soldiers, and it’s easy to find some food in the mountains.”

"That counts as me. You must call me tomorrow...Let me sleep for a while. Now I feel weak. When I rest, I..."

"…………"

The situation in Chang'an City was not like this around the Spring Festival. Although there was a plague spreading at that time, the overall situation was relatively stable, and food from other places was continuously transported to Chang'an.

Ever since General You and Wannianhou Fan Chou were killed by Li Jue at the banquet, as soon as the three-legged confrontation in Chang'an was broken, irreconcilable conflicts inevitably emerged between Li Jue and Guo Si!

As Feng Yao's boss, Meng Jian and Meng Gongwei, never imagined that the truth would turn out like this!
He has been in Chang'an City for three months, and he had a smooth talk with Li Jue, and he could soon persuade Li Jue to give Feng Yao an official title, but because of Fan Chou's death, he stopped there come down!
He even approached Li Jue and other most trusted advisers, Jia Xu, but Jia Xu only said that he would try his best to help, if he could find an opportunity to persuade him.

Even behind the scenes, Meng Jian also tried to persuade Jia Xu to surrender and switch to Feng Yao, but Jia Xu politely refused.

Needless to ask, Meng Jian also knew Jia Xu's reason.

Jia Xu is from Wuwei, Liangzhou. He has a community of interests with Li Jue and others, and he can trust Liangzhou people more. Moreover, there are many people in his family who live in Liangzhou. Although Feng Yao is now the head of a state, but But he is just a miscellaneous general, and his status is not comparable to that of Li Jue and others who hold real power!

Even in Jia Xu's opinion, he is not as good as Zhang Ji, the Zhendong general among the princes of Xiliang!
Meng Jian was in Chang'an City. Although he was taken care of by Li Jue and could still eat a bite of food, almost all the gold, silver and jewelry he brought with him had been sorted out. He would stay for ten days at most. He had to make a decision to return home. Still not back! !

He was really not reconciled to returning empty-handed.

On this day, Meng Jian was overjoyed when he learned that the lord Feng Yao had recovered all of Yingchuan and completely defeated Xun You, thinking that this was an opportunity to persuade Li Jue. The longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it will be to the lord.

So he immediately took the few jewels left and went to find Li Jue. Unexpectedly, after waiting for a day, he was not summoned, so he returned angrily and asked a few followers to guard the door, and he was alone. Sit in the room and meditate on good strategies.
