I am a ruler in troubled times

The Yanzhou army, which was repairing not far from the city wall of Xixian County, soon discovered the abnormality.

It was difficult for them to ignore the sudden burst of shouts on the city wall of Xixian County.

The Yanzhou army, which had been lined up neatly and waited to recover their strength for the next round of attack, suddenly lost their formation and whispered to each other to guess what happened to the Zhao army on the city wall.

The lieutenant general had excellent hearing, and was the first to distinguish specific words from Zhao Jun's completely deformed shouts.

Panic appeared on his face, and he strode to the side of the Yanzhou army commander who was looking at the Zhao army on the city wall with his eyebrows frowned, "General! They are shouting 'Prince', and Prince Zhao is behind us!"

"What are you panicking about?" Yanzhou Army Lord dismissed the hesitation between his eyebrows, and suddenly laughed, "No wonder I didn't see Prince Zhao on the city wall before, so he is no longer in the city. What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and line up? Don't let Prince Zhao run away!"

Compared with the excitement of the Yanzhou army chief general, the deputy general was full of weirdness, feeling that something was wrong.

If Prince Zhao can have such a great reputation, he will never be an idiot.

How could it be possible to rush forward knowing that there were 16 Yanzhou troops under the city wall of Xixian County?

The deputy general reminded the general of the Yanzhou Army.

Zhao Jun didn't look like he was afraid on the city wall.

They should shrink the formation first to prevent changes, instead of spreading out for Prince Zhao who has not seen the shadow yet.

If Prince Zhao still has only 16 troops around him, with their [-] troops, even if Prince Zhao has three heads and six arms, he will not be able to escape.

There is really no need to rush for a while.

However, the chief general of the Yanzhou Army was full of heart to capture Chong Yi alive and made great achievements, and could not listen to anything at all. Seeing that the deputy general refused to carry out his orders for a long time, the chief general of the Yanzhou Army suddenly kicked the deputy general's ass hard, with a deep voice I don't know if it's because of anger or because I'm trembling because of excitement, "Dare to violate the order before the battle, just wait!"

Before the words fell, the leader of the Yanzhou Army passed by the lieutenant general, and he couldn't wait to order the Yanzhou Army to disperse and prepare to encircle and suppress Prince Zhao.

As soon as the Yanzhou army dispersed their formation, the sound of war drums sounded on the wall of Xixian County, from slow to fast, from low to passionate.

More and more Yanzhou army noticed something was wrong, but the Yanzhou army leader was always immersed in the excitement of capturing Prince Zhao alive, and he didn't even notice that the Yanzhou army behind him was so chaotic that they couldn't even maintain their formation.

Finally, the strong and bright Suzaku Banner came into the sight of the Yanzhou Army first, and then the beauty in black with a beaded crown on a tall black horse and holding a silver spear.

If you change the location, no one will doubt whether the beauty in front of you is a woman disguised as a man.

"Come on!" The general of the Yanzhou army raised his long knife, his voice even overpowering the sound of the drums on the wall of Xixian County, "Catch Prince Zhao alive! The prince will definitely reward you!"

Most of the Yanzhou army completely lost their minds when they saw Chongyi riding alone, leaving only their hearts full of boiling.

What they saw was neither Prince Zhao nor a beauty, but fame and wealth!It is countless glory and wealth!

The Yanzhou army, which was already in a messy formation, had completely forgotten each other's existence, and had long since put aside the anxiety in their hearts.

Those with horses rode, while those without horses ran wildly, rushing towards Chongyi without hesitation.

Then I saw the sea of ​​people behind Chong Yi.

Song Peiyu on the city wall put down the binoculars in his hand when Chong Yi was getting closer to the city wall.

He couldn't take his eyes off Chong Yi at all, after counting, this was the first time he saw Chong Yi fighting on the battlefield at such a close distance.

For a moment, Song Peiyu couldn't tell whether the fierce sound in his ear was the sound of war drums or his heartbeat.

There is no need for the 16 garrisons in the county to rush out. The [-] troops brought back by Chong Yi alone can kill all the [-] Yanzhou troops who have no morale at all.

After the [-] Zhao troops in Xixian County rushed out of the city gate, they seemed to have been hungry for a long time, and finally chased after the Yanzhou army like sharks smelling blood.

Before a day had passed, Zhao Jun returned the anger he received at the Yanzhou Army several times, and his aura was not weaker than that of the Yan Army, which had twice as many people as them.

From the sunset of the sun to the complete nightfall of this battle, the entire Xi County was shrouded in a strong smell of blood.

The 16 Yanzhou Army has long been defeated, and only the deputy general led some people to tear open a hole and escape with all their strength. It was because of Chong Yi's order that Zhao Jun and Yan Army did not have to fight desperately with the Yanzhou Army.

It took two days just to clean the battlefield.

After Chongyi and Pingzhang separated, they followed Le County in Yanzhou all the way south, and blew up the outer city walls of the three cities in the south of Le County.

The lack of supplies for the army led by him was also replenished in the city of Yanzhou.

After blowing up the city wall of the southernmost city among the Eight Passes of Yanzhou, Chong Yi left [-] infantry in place and continued southward with [-] cavalry, and soon arrived at the city of Yuzhou occupied by Ji Tong.

At that time, Ji Tong was still struggling.

After repelling Chen Jun, he led Yan Jun all the way to Yuzhou.

Taking advantage of Chen Jun's successive defeats and without the command of the general, he fled back to Yuzhou with his civil servants and the seriously injured Chen Crown Prince Xue Lin, which brought great panic to Chen Jun in Yuzhou city.

Ji Tong successfully captured several cities located in the northernmost part of Yuzhou.

But that's about it.

As a famous general resounding throughout Kyushu, Ji Tong's eyes will not only focus on the immediate gains.

Yan Guo used his last breath to increase troops at the junction of Yizhou and Yuzhou.

A total of 15 additional troops was the result of emptying out half of the Yizhou cities that were under the command of the Yan State at the time of the increase.

Ji Tong knew very well that he would never wait for Luoyang to increase his troops again. After the existing supplies were exhausted, he had to find a way to consume even the 15 troops.

Not to mention Yan Guo can send civil servants to govern the city of Yuzhou he built.

He can continue to chase after wins, but the results are obvious.

The [-]th army is deeply trapped in Yuzhou, and they will definitely be encircled and suppressed by Chen Jun who has recovered from his strength.

The best result is a successful breakout, one out of ten.

They could no longer go deep into Yuzhou, and the way back to Luoyang was also blocked by Zhao Jun, who was steadily advancing towards Luoyang after Yan State transferred all the troops to the border between Yizhou and Yuzhou.

Ji Tong was not reconciled to easily returning the Yuzhou city that had been captured to Chen Guo.

It is also a choice to hand over these cities to Zhao Jun, and he returns to Luoyang to wait for the formal surrender, but it is far from Ji Tong's expectations.

He is second only to Da Sima in the Yan Kingdom, and he is a general who stands side by side with Helian Wuwei.

Even Da Sima never ordered them, most of them conveyed the emperor's will or discussed with them.

After becoming a courtier of the state of Zhao, there must not be too much difference. Not only does he have to eat, but his soldiers also have to eat.

Zhao Guo has no shortage of generals than Yan Guo.

Prince Zhao, Murong Jing, King Liang... Helian Wuwei is also fighting with Prince Zhao at Jinshan Pass.

Not to mention the great merit of repelling the Turks, it is a rare opportunity to perform in front of Prince Zhao.

Ji Tong understood very well that the credit for taking down several small cities in Yuzhou could not support his ambition at all.

After being unable to find a clue for a long time, Ji Tong simply calmed down and waited for the opportunity in the city of Yuzhou that he had brought down.

It just so happened that Chen Jun's original plan was to break through the gate of Yizhou and drive straight in, blocking the border between Yizhou and Yanzhou.

Therefore, the prepared luggage is very sufficient, and it is temporarily piled up in the few border cities of Yuzhou that Ji Tong took down.

For a long period of time, at least Ji Tong didn't have to worry about the food and clothing of the 15 Yan army.

When the lieutenants and lieutenants under him started to feel irritable, they asked Ji Tong tactfully what they planned to do next after a few days, and then almost every day, different people came to ask Ji Tong for instructions. how to.

Every time Ji Tong would not send people away in a simple and rude way, but let the people who came to tell their plans, and then scolded people away with a face full of disappointment.

Either he wants to continue to go deep into Yuzhou, or he wants to hand over the city to Zhao Jun and return to Luoyang.

Nothing new.

Fortunately, Ji Tong has led the army for many years and is very majestic.

After he angrily scolded away the people who kept annoying him, the people who had already started to panic became calm instead.

Don't ask, if you ask, the general is majestic and profound, like a needle that fixes the sea.

Ji Tong's waiting was not in vain.

He still didn't think of a better way, but unknowingly completed the most time-saving and labor-saving strategy in the past and present, and waited for the rabbit.

Ji Tong waited for Chong Yi in the city of Yuzhou, and all the problems that troubled him were easily solved.

Chong Yi led three hundred cavalrymen, and the wind and dust couldn't stop him from being full of elegance. Under the city wall, he casually asked Ji Tong on the city wall if he would surrender.

Ji Tong was only stunned for a moment by Chong Yi's appearance, and immediately went out of the city to meet him on his knees.

drop!

I heard from the cavalry accompanying Chong Yi that after he stabilized at Jinshan Pass, Chong Yi went directly south and had never been to Luoyang. Ji Tong was even more overjoyed.

The old things in Luoyang are still hanging, so he can go ashore first, and Prince Zhao will come to rescue him himself.

He didn't believe that Prince Zhao came here all the time, just wanting to see him surrender.

There must be a place to use him!

The opportunity he had been thinking of had come.

Ji Tong was ordered by Chong Yi to withdraw the Yan army from the county town on the border of Yuzhou.

After hearing the order, Ji Tong once suggested to Chongyi that other cities give up and give up, at least keep some people in the most difficult city in Yuzhou.

Chong Yi didn't take Ji Tong's suggestion, but let Ji Tong see the power of Flint with his own eyes.

The flint he brought from Xi County happened to be the last one left, which could blow down an outer wall of the fortress.

Chong Yi took Ji Tong and 15 Yan troops straight to the east, where Yanzhou borders Yuzhou.

The south of Yanzhou is a more unique narrow mouth than the ten dangers in the east and the eight passes in the west. Only one city can achieve the effect of "one man guards the gate and ten thousand men cannot open it".

It's a pity that Chong Yi was the one who attacked the city.

Moreover, Yanzhou had already reached a consensus with Chen Guo that this barrier would be opened, allowing Chen Jun to go deep into Yanzhou along here.

So when he heard that most of Yanzhou's eight passes had been destroyed and the entire line collapsed, the King of Yanzhou was furious and transferred most of the troops stationed at the southern pass to the west.

Chong Yi even felt that the process of conquering the southern checkpoint in Yanzhou was easier than conquering Le County.

It still only occupies the outer city wall and ignores the inner city.

Leaving [-] Yan troops at the southern checkpoint in Yanzhou to stop Chen Jun, Chong Yi brought the remaining [-] Yan troops and the [-] Zhao troops who had been repaired for a long time to join them, and rushed back to Xi County as quickly as possible.

Just in time for Xi County to be besieged by 16 Yanzhou troops.

As for Chen Jun who arrived at the checkpoint in the south of Yanzhou a day and a half later than Chong Yi and Yan Jun.

There is no other way than attacking the city repeatedly, failing repeatedly, and then swearing and greeting the eighteen generations of Yan Jun ancestors on the city wall under the city.

Two days later, the battlefield outside Xi County was finally cleaned up.

Of the 16 Yanzhou troops, [-] were killed, [-] were captured, and only [-] escaped.

The [-] troops from Xi County and the [-] Yan troops who followed Ji Tong had no more than [-] dead in total.

In addition, a total of 15 troops came from Youzhou and Jinshanguan respectively.

Xixian County has nearly 30 soldiers at its disposal.

With Chongyi's marching principles, he will never give a second chance to trouble him if he can take it once.

The next day, Zhao Jun in Xi County left one after another and entered the hinterland of Yanzhou along different cities.

Yanzhou Baguan, which used to be famous in Yuanzhen, was like an empty city, and the garrison inside didn't even have the courage to come out to take a look at Zhao Jun.

It's a pity that some things can't be avoided by these frightened Yanzhou troops.

As the war broke out again, Zhao's transportation network, which had completely covered Yizhou, was flowing again.

Song Peiyu, who had stayed in Xi County for a long time, also embarked on the road to the east shortly after Chongyi left again.

Looking at the places that Zhao Guo has won.

The royal family of the Wei State fought to die, and the people of the Wei State were tortured for several months, with no hope of surviving at all. They had long since given up on the almost dead royal family of the Wei State.

In the minds of the people of the Wei State, Zhao Guo, who took the initiative to attack the Wei State, was actually saving them from the sea of ​​suffering.

King Rui of Dongliang was greedy for cheap and failed, instead he paid Dongliang to the sky, causing prices in Dongliang to skyrocket. The people hoped that King Rui of Dongliang would die quickly more than anyone else.

In fact, Dongliang Prince Rui and Prince Rui's son died in the beating of the common people.

In addition, Zhao Guo's shops have been opened in Dongliang for many years, which has brought visible changes to the people of Dongliang, and subtly eliminated the rejection of Zhao Guo by the people of Dongliang.

Zhao Guo can also clean up the mess left by Prince Rui with immediate efficiency.

In the eyes of the people of Dongliang, Zhao Guoyong and Emperor are much more reliable than Prince Rui. To them, changing from Dongliang people to Zhao people is a person who is going to a higher place.

Only a fool would resist.

In comparison, the process of Xiliang people becoming Zhao people was the most peaceful.

They are in awe of King Liang who has been fighting against the party for many years and guarding the peace of Liangzhou, and they are also grateful to the State of Zhao for letting them no longer worry about food.

When King Liang formally surrendered to Zhao State, the people of Xiliang even held a celebration ceremony spontaneously after seeking the consent of Prince Liang's Mansion, and set the day as a local festival.

No matter how much effort the Prince of Liang's Mansion wasted during the birth of this festival, the goodwill of the people of Xiliang to the State of Zhao cannot be faked.

The reason why the people of Yan State quickly accepted Zhao State is simpler.

Twenty years ago, when they ate in the same pot with the people of Zhao State, there were still more delicious dishes in Yizhou than in Youzhou.

Youzhou was dissatisfied with the good food on his side, so he was gradually moved to Yizhou, and General Jianwei took advantage of the trend.

After General Jianwei officially proclaimed himself emperor, Youzhou and Yizhou began to eat in two pots.

At that time, there were still more good dishes in Yizhou pot than in Youzhou pot.

Now that more than 20 years have passed, the dishes in Yizhou's pot have not changed much, but Youzhou has quietly changed the people who eat, and began to eat fish and meat.

Smelling the scent coming from the cauldron next door, and thinking about the gap between the two sides 20 years ago, how could the people of Yan Kingdom not be greedy?

Before Zhao State sent troops to Yan State, the people of Yan State dreamed of having a big pot meal with Youzhou again, and they also wanted to taste the taste of big fish and meat!

20 years ago, everyone was a family, but it took 20 years to change the person in charge. Can this be called annexation?

The people of Yanzhou have a very different idea from the people of Weiguo, Liangzhou, and Yizhou.

First of all, under normal circumstances, most people cannot judge whether the monarch is wise or stupid. .

For them, there are no bandits, no turmoil, no sudden tax increase in the place where they live, and the king of Yanzhou who is on the throne is the best king of Yanzhou.

The King of Yanzhou, who is currently on the throne, just meets this condition.

The current king of Yanzhou also has a father who is so stupid that the people can feel it, so after he succeeded to the throne, he has always had a good reputation among the people of Yanzhou.

Secondly, the people of Yanzhou had almost no contact with Zhao people. Their understanding of Zhao people and Zhao country depended entirely on the caravans.

Because of the geographical location, most of the caravans that pass through Yanzhou are from Chen State.

With Xue Lin's attitude towards Zhao Guo and Chong Yi as if he was facing a big enemy, and he wished that he could not get rid of them soon, one can imagine what kind of impression the people of Yanzhou will have on Zhao Guo and Zhao Guo people.

Occasionally, when someone mentions Zhao's low taxation and various subsidies to the people, they will always be said to be bragging at the first time.

Over time, in the impression of the people in Yanzhou, Zhao Guo is a place where you can barely eat enough with the help of the city of rare goods.

Even the [-] Yanzhou troops who took the initiative to attack Xixian County but stayed in Xixian County forever were deliberately said by the King of Yanzhou, "Prince Zhao was brutal and cruelly murdered [-] Yanzhou people." '

In the eyes of King Yanzhou, the [-] Yanzhou troops who were captured by Zhao Jun were already dead.

Combining various factors, the people of Yanzhou are full of hostility towards Zhao Guo, who destroyed the Eight Passes of Yanzhou that they were proud of, and killed the soldiers of Yanzhou.

How to eliminate Yanzhou people's prejudice against Zhao State and completely turn Yanzhou land into Zhao State's land has become a problem that Song Peiyu needs to face urgently.

Song Peiyu was sure, even if he had people general 'Zhao Guo once wanted to negotiate peace with Yanzhou King, but Yanzhou King turned to Chen Guo and deliberately made it difficult for Zhao Guo. 'Tell the people of Yanzhou.

The hostility of the people of Yanzhou towards the State of Zhao will not decrease, on the contrary, they will reject the State of Zhao even more.

After all, people who have almost never read a book and are running around all day for their livelihood cannot be expected to be enlightened under the advice of others.

Between the state of Zhao and the king of Yanzhou, the people of Yanzhou who stood on the side of the king of Yanzhou unconditionally would only feel that the state of Zhao was slandering the king of Yanzhou and deceiving them.

The first stop of Song Peiyu's eastward trip was Le County.

When the Zhao army in front passed through Le County, they had already arrested all the remaining Yanzhou troops in Le County and detained them separately.

With Song Peiyu accompanied by [-] Zhao troops, Chong Yi left [-] Zhao troops for an unprecedented time, and specially left someone to ask Song Peiyu.

Wherever you go to the city, take these Zhao troops to that city, and don't get close to the people of Yanzhou with no more than 20 guards.

Song Peiyu looked at Xiaowei Wang, who was telling Chongyi's explanation to him in a serious manner, and sighed silently.Chong Yi, who can make the siege land go forward without looking back, is so careful.

It can be seen how hostile the Yanzhou people in the city are to Zhao Jun.

The news came back from the three-way army going to the hinterland of Yanzhou that the people of Yanzhou must have rejected Zhao Jun, so Song Peiyu and other civil officials in the rear should be careful not to get close to the people of Yanzhou easily.

In order to prevent the people of Yanzhou from violently injuring others, causing irreparable consequences.

After Song Peiyu arrived in Le County, he first went to see the captured Yanzhou Army.

Most of these Yanzhou troops had experienced the war outside Xixian County, and they had long been frightened out of their courage. On the contrary, they were more kind to Zhao Jun than the people of Yanzhou, or they didn't dare to be tough in front of Zhao Jun at all.

After Song Peiyu briefly communicated with these Yanzhou Army prisoners, he immediately understood why Chong Yi didn't let these people go home after burning the roster as before.

These people's homes are too far away, almost half of Yanzhou is separated from Le County.

Zhao Jun definitely didn't have time to send these people home. If so many people were allowed to walk freely in the already chaotic Yanzhou, there would probably be more bandits somewhere, or a city behind Zhao Jun would be suddenly attacked.

After communicating with the prisoners, Song Peiyu went down to the inner city surrounded by guards.

Entering the gate of the inner city and walking on the empty streets, Song Peiyu didn't even need to talk to the people of Le County, just the needle-like gaze on his body could make him feel the hostility of the people of Le County.

Song Peiyu's pace became faster silently, and rushed to the county government office that had been carefully checked and sorted out.

By checking the documents in the county government, Song Peiyu found that the king of Yanzhou was not as sympathetic to the people of Yanzhou as he imagined.

In terms of taxation and service, not to mention compared with Yan, King Yanzhou was even harsher than King Rui of Dongliang who was beaten to death by the people.

No wonder Yanzhou's geographical location is obviously good. In the past, the Yanzhou businessmen Song Peiyu met were all generous and wealthy, but Yanzhou's city was so ruined, and most of the Yanzhou army was not as strong as Zhao's army.

As a populous county, Le County shouldn't be so desolate even in wartime.

After flipping through the tax and service books, Song Peiyu looked at other miscellaneous books, and soon had an idea in his mind.

The first thing to do is to open the warehouse to release the grain.

When they arrived at the grain depot in Le County, even Song Peiyu raised her eyebrows in shock because she was well-informed.

He finally found a place in Le County that was not inferior to Zhao Guo's county seat, and stored food!

After actually seeing the sealed food, Song Peiyu was disappointed.

Unlike Zhao Guo's granary, where grain is grain, and there will never be anything else, at least half of the grain in Le County's granary has been dried and smashed into large and small debris of plant roots and leaves.

Song Peiyu asked someone to ask the Le County prisoner what happened.

Wang Xiaowei listened to the Le County military prisoners and said, "This is the food we ate in the past. After the big pot is cooked, there is just enough food." 'Suddenly flushed with anger.

Captain Wang is not anyone's personal soldier, not even the local garrison.

It was after Zhao State sent troops to Yan State that he was conscripted and became Zhao Jun.

He didn't follow Chong Yi or Song Peiyu at the beginning, he was called to follow Song Peiyu because he was selected by the general and no one wanted him.

It has to be said that Captain Wang's luck is very good.

There are many children in his family, and when he was a child, he often had no food and was hungry, so he had the cheek to go to the escort's house next door to grab a meal.

It just so happened that the bodyguard had only had an only son for many years, and he wanted to find a playmate for the only son. He also knew the situation in Wang Xiaowei's family, and he condoned Wang Xiaowei's behavior of eating food.

After Wang Xiaowei and his only son grew up, the bodyguard taught them both martial arts without discrimination.

Over the years, the only son of the bodyguard master only learned superficially the skills of the bodyguard master, and the bodyguard sent money to the accountant of the bodyguard bureau. Instead, he made rapid progress in accounting and became the second accountant in a short period of time.

Wang Xiaowei, who has officially recognized the bodyguard as his master, is looking for work at the master's house, chopping firewood, carrying water, sweeping the yard... he never stops, but he is better than the bodyguard at a young age. His skill is not bad.

If he hadn't come to serve in the military, Xiaowei Wang might have become one of the heads of the Escort Bureau.

After serving in the army, Captain Wang relied on his skill and good luck to rise up the ranks all the way.

From the small flag, the general flag, to the school lieutenant.

With his background, it takes two years to accomplish what others can do in a lifetime.

Captain Wang still has no time to think about the changes that have happened to him in the past two years, but he will never forget the changes 13 years ago.

Thirteen years ago, when the tax was cut for the first time, he finally had a full meal at his own home.

He happily went to share this incident with his master's house and his brother, but his mouth was filled with sweetness.

That was the first time he had pastries, and they were delicious, but all he wanted to do was cry.

Captain Wang cried out of breath for a long time, causing the master to rush over after hearing the sound, and severely reprimanded the elder brother who was hugging him.

Since then, the days have gotten better and better.

Not only can everyone in their family have enough to eat, but they don't have to drink water when they are too hungry to sleep.

The business of the Escort where Master works is also getting better and better, earning more and more money.

After a long time of good times, when he suddenly heard that hay and boiled beans are the rations of the Yanzhou Army, Captain Wang's first thought was anger.

In the Zhao army, only horses eat hay mixed with beans, or because horses love to eat grass.

Let the soldiers who fought hard on the battlefield eat grass?

Could it be that King Yanzhou has a black heart in his chest!

Song Peiyu listened to Wang Xiaowei's indignant words, and at the same time she was emotional and proud.

The confusion after discovering the people in Yanzhou's strong resistance to Zhao Jun also dissipated completely.

In Zhao State, there will be no soldiers who eat grass, and there will be no heavy taxes in Yanzhou today.

Putting aside the importance of national unity, which is something that people simply cannot understand, Zhao Guo can bring immediate changes to the lives of people in Yanzhou.

After careful consideration, Song Peiyu distributed the grain in Le County's granary to the people of Le County.

Song Peiyu wanted to let the people of Le County know where the food came from.

After receiving the food, will they choose to have enough food for the whole family for several months, or will they keep the food for the Yanzhou army?

People must bring their household registration and register with the county government as a family before they can receive their grain.

It took only half a day for the place prepared for the people to receive food to go from being empty at the beginning to having no place to set foot.

Song Peiyu immediately asked people to issue numbers to the people, and distributed food to the people with a certain number to a few numbers every day, and only those who got the number in line could wait in the open space next to the county government office.

If someone maliciously disrupts the order of food collection, not only will the number of the person who disturbed the order of food collection be confiscated, but the person's relatives will also be disqualified.

In just two hours, the order of receiving food at the county government office was completely stabilized.

On the second day, there was an extra small table in front of the open space where the common people lined up.

The person standing on the small table is Xiaowei Wang, who was appointed by Song Peiyu as a storyteller.

He has never talked about books, but after the good times, he heard storytellers in teahouses.

What Song Peiyu asked Xiaowei Wang to say touched Xiaowei Wang very much. After he opened his mouth, he realized that storytelling was far easier than he imagined.

Xiaowei Wang behind the small table passionately told about the two tax cuts in his memory. After each tax cut, his life changed drastically.

Most of the Yanzhou people who were waiting to receive food in the open space looked silent. Some even covered their ears and looked carefully, but they could find that the depths of the pupils of these people were not untouched.

In the afternoon, the storyteller became Zhao Jun, who was born in Wei County and was serving in the military.

On the second day, it was Zhao Jun who was born in Dongliang and Xiliang respectively.

On the third day, it was Zhao Jun who came from Jinshan Pass. He was not talking about himself, but Prince Zhao who led the troops to completely expel the Turks.

……

It took ten days to distribute the grain in the granary in Le County to the people

Stories that are not repeated every day outside the county government, unknowingly began to spread in every corner of Le County.

The people in Le County who had received the food no longer stayed behind closed doors. There were more and more people on the street, and the shops were also quietly opening their doors.

To be on the safe side, when Song Peiyu left Le County, he not only specifically told the remaining Zhao officials to live in a place close to the inner city wall where they could escape at any time, but also left 2000 people to protect their safety.

After passing through each Yanzhou county, Song Peiyu comforted the local people in the way of Le County.

Even if these people are full of hostility towards Zhao Jun, it is not their original intention.

They were blinded by the king of Yanzhou who covered the sky with one hand in Yanzhou.

People just want to survive.

Their existing lives are at the limit of what is barely survivable.

I really can't handle a more stressful life.

The rejection of Zhao Jun by the people of Yanzhou is largely due to their fear of change.

Song Peiyu's behavior of releasing food relieved the living pressure of the people in Yanzhou, so that they could calm down to listen and think. What they learned from Zhao Jun was completely different from what they used to know.

Facing Zhao Jun's three-way army, the Yanzhou Army, which was defeated outside Xixian County, had almost no resistance.

In a hurry, the king of Yanzhou made another faint move.

He actually concentrated all the remaining troops in Yanzhou in the royal city of Yanzhou, Kedu.

Such actions of the King of Yanzhou not only made the marching speed of the three-way Zhao army faster, but also gave Song Peiyu an extra material when he ordered people to tell stories to the people of Yanzhou.

After Zhao Guo's three armies gathered in Kedu, there was no need to attack the city.

The three-way army only garrisoned outside Kedu for half a month, and Kedu had civil strife because of insufficient food.

Five days later, a certain general in Yanzhou, who had no hope and could not bear the heart of ordinary people starving to death, secretly opened the city gate at night and let Zhao Jun enter Kedu.

Chong Yi led people straight to the palace of King Yanzhou.

The world only knows that the royal family of Yanzhou couldn't bear the humiliation of Kedu City being destroyed, and the whole family "suicide".

But he didn't know that Chong Yi, who rushed into the palace to kill, instead saved two little girls who were protected by their mother who had been stabbed several times.

The two little girls, the older one was five years old and the younger one was three years old, both were scared to death.

The little girls are well recuperated and can return to normal consciousness, but it is very likely that they will not remember the memory before being frightened.

Song Peiyu ordered the two little girls to be sent to Liang County, and entrusted Prince Liang to arrange a decent status for them.

At least he can borrow the light of Prince Liang's Mansion to be rich and worry-free.

I hope they will never recall those painful memories.

Because of the stupidity of the King of Yanzhou, Kedu, where the royal family is entrenched, is the place in Yanzhou that has the highest acceptance of Zhao Jun.

Song Peiyu and Chong Yi stayed here for half a month, and finally waited until King Qingzhou reached a consensus with Xianyang under the eyes of 30 Zhao troops.

The surrender of King Qingzhou is compared to that of King Liang.

The king of Qingzhou granted the title Qingwang of Zhao Guo, and bestowed the house next to Liangwangfu in Xianyang as the Qingwangfu.

Half of the Qingzhou army went to Xianyang with King Qing, and then replaced the Xiliang army to garrison in Xiliang for five years.

The remaining half of the Qingzhou Army Tiger Talismans were divided into two, in the hands of Chong Yi and Prince Qing respectively. The Prince Qing and his family members could stay in Qingzhou before the Prince Qing inherited the throne.

……

The titles of Qingzhou royal family and noble titles, which were the most talkative before, both sides took half a step back.

Qingzhou royal titles and noble titles are all lowered to the third class, but anyone with titles, except the prince of Qing, must go to Xianyang to settle down.

Song Peiyu knew from the letter sent by Song Jinyu that Emperor Yonghe planned to grant another batch of titles after Luoyang also formally surrendered.

Song Jinyu, Shang Shuling, Murong Jing and other ministers of the Zhao Kingdom may all appear in the imperial decree.

After Song Peiyu memorized all the contents of the letter carefully, he put the letter paper on the candle.

I don't know if the eldest brother will become the Marquis of Yunyang or the Duke of Yunguo.

Maybe His Majesty will choose another title with a good meaning.

When Song Peiyu was thinking about this matter, Emperor Yonghe happened to be discussing this matter with King Su

"The first merit is Suzaku." Yonghe Di Le's entire face could only see his teeth, "I really want to award the throne to him directly, but I'm afraid he won't."

The smile on King Su's face was even more exaggerated than that of Emperor Yonghe.

The two brothers spent two hours on Kua Chongyi.

It wasn't until he noticed that his voice was changing, that Emperor Yonghe reluctantly mentioned others, but his smile didn't change at all, "It's also hard work for Li slaves to coordinate the major affairs of Yizhou."

"It's a pity..." Emperor Yonghe shook his head triumphantly, "I have other arrangements for the raccoon slaves, so it's superfluous to confer titles."

Su Wang nodded again and again, showing a tacit smile.

The two brothers spent another half an hour praising Song Peiyu, their deep and deep voices were completely hoarse.

Maybe because he noticed that too much time and tongue had been spent, Emperor Yonghe's speech speed suddenly became faster, "Murong Jing was not allowed to go out in this battle. He may feel aggrieved, but Youzhou must always have a general who can lead the army at any time." Murong Jing is also worthy of the title of knighthood for his achievements since the founding of the country. Shang Shuling has devoted himself to Zhao for many years..."

Emperor Yonghe counted on his fingers, and listed five more people, and the last one was Song Jinyu.

"You said..." The struggle on Emperor Yonghe's face became more and more serious, and he said to King Su in a hesitant tone, "Should I give Jinyu the Marquis of Jin, and give Jinyu's youngest son the Marquis of Chengen in the future, or Just make Jinyu the Duke of the country?"

Anyway, to Song Jinyu, the Duke is still the Marquis, it's just a ranking.

I heard that Song Jinyu's youngest son is not up to the mark, and the title of Marquis Cheng En can at least make Song Jinyu's youngest son last for three generations.

He really wanted to give Song Jinyu the title Cheng Engong, but he didn't dare.

Emperor Yonghe sighed angrily.

The smirk on the corner of King Su's mouth immediately subsided.

He looked at his brother who was still full of annoyance with complicated eyes, moved his lips, but did not make a sound.

Because he didn't know how to tell Emperor Yonghe without hurting the emperor's dignity.

Up until now, Emperor Yonghe had wishful thinking that he and the Song family were in-laws.
