Chapter 104 The disaster victims broke the city, Xunyang became purgatory

What angered Yuan Ji was because the grand master believed that the land in southern Jing was unstable and needed a veteran general to sit in charge.

The three Jingnan counties are Sun Jian's sphere of influence. Since Sun Jian went to Xuzhou, Zu Mao has been in charge.

However, the Royal Navy was established, and Zu Mao, who was proficient in water warfare, was transferred to Chaisang as the commander of the navy, causing the barbarians and bandits in Lingling and Guiyang to show signs of resurgence.

Empress Dowager He, who had known about it for a long time, deliberately asked all the officials, who is competent?

Everyone knows the rules of officialdom. If there is no candidate, Lu Zhi will definitely not talk nonsense.

Sure enough, there were very few proposers, and Empress Dowager He immediately asked Lu Zhi: "Who does the grand master think is appropriate to go to Jingnan?"

Yuan Ji suddenly noticed that Lu Zhi smiled meaningfully at him, and his heart was immediately vigilant.

Lu Zhi suggested in a loud voice: "I think that people are not sages and sages who are innocent? Knowing mistakes can make a difference! If Her Majesty the Empress Dowager is merciful and makes Yuan Shao a crime and meritorious service, Jingnan can rest easy."

As if being stepped on the tail, Yuan Ji almost jumped onto the roof of the hall.

Jingnan was brought down by Sun Jian. Considering Yuan Shu's sphere of influence, Yuan Shao set up his own family in the Yuan Mansion.

Once Yuan Shao sets foot in Jingnan, even if nothing happens, there will be waves of three feet. Not to mention Gonglu's perverse temper, can the whole Jiangnan stop?

If the Taishi Department contributes to the flames, Yuan Shu's power will inevitably be restrained or even greatly dispersed and weakened, which will affect the Yuan family's reputation.

Although his ideas are right, he cannot rashly come forward to boycott him.

In terms of blood relationship, no matter how vile and mischievous Yuan Shao is, he is still his own brother. If he vetoes it, he will confirm Yuan Shao's unwarranted accusations, and the rift cannot be healed.

In that case, the reputation of the Yuan family and himself will drop again.

No, I have to talk to Liu Biao and Cao Cao, and settle the troublemaker on the spot as soon as possible. It is best to die in Bashu for the rest of my life, and don't come out to be conspicuous.

That night, Yuan Ji, Liu Biao and Cao Cao gathered together.

Yuan Ji didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "I was a little impatient at first, so I thought it would be better to practice in Shu first."

Liu Biao, one of the feudal lords, is indeed a contemporary celebrity, but when facing the head of the Yuan family, he can only bow his head and obey orders.

"Teacher is right. I will talk to Ben Chu when I get back and try to arrange it properly."

Yuan Ji nodded, and then turned to Cao Cao: "Meng De and Benchu ​​have known each other for many years, please persuade him more. As long as he lives in peace, within three or two years, it will not be difficult for him to occupy a state."

Cao Cao hurriedly got up and cupped his hands and said, "Yes! I will persuade you with kind words."

After exhorting, Yuan Ji began to talk about "abolishing history and establishing animal husbandry".

"Brother Jing Sheng's idea is recognized by the Queen Mother and the court. However, some states and counties have conflicts. Let's consider it carefully and bring it up at the end of the year."

Liu Biao knew very well that he touched the cake of the governor and the sheriff, and I don't know how many people hated him.

You know what you know, but the power in Yizhou must be in your own hands, it is better to take the opportunity to change the general.

"Since that's the case, let's do it this way. Well, Zhang Gongqi is both civil and military. It would be good if he can leave the town of Jingnan."

Yuan Ji understood that in order to consolidate the rights in Yizhou, Liu Biao must drive away Zhang Lu's forces.

The two sides had their own thoughts, but reached a tacit agreement on the candidate for the governor of Jingnan.

The essence of politics is the exchange of interests.

In order to win over Cao Cao, Yuan Ji decisively sent a Ju Xiaolian.

The 16-year-old Cao Ang can become an official after taking part in the government assessment early next year.

Although they are both filial piety and honesty, there are differences.

Recommended by a top tycoon like Grand Tutor Yuan Ji, Cao Ang is a proper official in the capital, and the arrangements must be for the noble and the poor.

As the battle for the son of heaven came to an end, the governors of the local states, governors, governors, and governors began to return one after another.

The horses in the eastern capital danced and danced, and entered the rhythm of luxurious life.

No matter which dynasty, the extravagant food and clothing of the rich and powerful means that the lives of the people at the bottom are difficult.

In ordinary seasons, the common people can still survive, but when natural and man-made disasters occur, the conflict between the powerful and the victims will explode at the slightest.

The morning of the seventh day when the disaster relief team set off.

Liu Bei, who was as tired as a dead dog, arrived at the Lujiang government office, Wan County, with more than five hundred horsemen who were extremely exhausted.

At this moment, the old official of the Yuan family, Huya general Liu Xun and Liu Zihuang, is sitting in Wan County.

All the prefects, governors, and governors of the state went to the capital, and Liu Xun, who was Yuan Shu's stalwart, became the local emperor of Lujiang.

The right to not use, expired and void.

This guy seized the opportunity to wantonly scrape, making the people miserable and full of complaints.

Half a month ago, Xunyang County, where the floods broke out, was in a state of starvation, and starvation was everywhere.

Liu Xun actually refused to save him, and refused to allocate food if he had food.

The sun-seeking victims who had no home and food were forced to turn into beasts and eat their offspring.

In the territory of Xunyang, human tragedies are common occurrences.

Quite a number of refugees have spread to the surrounding areas, and looting incidents are frequent. If food is not allocated for disaster relief, there may be riots at any time.

Outside the north gate, King Wu of the current dynasty arrived with his troops, saying that he came to relieve the victims, which surprised Liu Xun.

According to the routine, it will take six or seven days at the earliest for the urgent report to be sent out and the imperial court to send people to provide relief.

How could Liu Bei be so fast?

Zhi Jinwu's name is too famous, as an old official of the Yuan family, Liu Xun knows it very well, not to mention Yuan Shu was exiled to Jiujiang because of this person.

As an imperial envoy, Liu Xun must pick him up, but this guy is afraid that Liu Bei will find excuses to kill him.

So he took nearly a thousand people in the city and went out of the city to meet them.

Liu Bei was sitting on a stone by the roadside, his face was unkempt and his body was stained with stains.

Behind him, there were more than 500 cavalrymen stumbling around like beggars.

Seeing Liu Xun approaching to greet and compliment, he immediately asked, "How many villages have been flooded?"

Where did Liu Xun figure it out, he hesitated and couldn't answer.

Ask again: "How many victims are there?"

Still faltering.

Liu Bei finally asked: "Have you ever sent someone to distribute food for disaster relief?"

Hearing that the tone was wrong, Liu Xun immediately retorted: "Relief is the job of the county guard, and I'm just a general."

In fact, just now, Liu Bei had already contacted the victims fleeing the famine, and learned of Liu Xun's many crimes from the residents of the suburbs.

Liu Bei snorted and shouted, "Zilong!"

Zhao Yun, who was in charge of Jinwu's bodyguard in rotation, immediately jumped up with his gun and went straight to Liu Xun.

Liu Xun, who had already had a premonition, immediately turned his head and ran back, shouting at the same time: "Protect me, protect me!"

Immediately four or five personal soldiers rushed out from behind him, each holding a sword and gun to intercept Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun swept across with his spear, and all the soldiers were knocked down. He took three steps and threw his spear.

Liu Xun, who was running wildly, felt a pain in his back, and a bloody gunpoint protruded from his chest.

"what!"

In severe pain, Liu Xun wailed and was nailed to the ground.

The county soldiers were dumbfounded, and froze in place in fright, not daring to move.

Liu Bei got up slowly, drew out his long knife, and came to the dying Liu Xun.

"The Jinwu is here to help the disaster and save the people! Now there is Huya General Liu Xun, who is unfaithful, unkind, corrupt, and disregarding the life and death of the victims. He has committed a heinous crime! Behead him for public display!"

With a flash of the sword, the local emperor of Wan County was decapitated.

"Where is Lujiang County Prime Minister?"

A fat man with a pale face and sweat dripping down stood up.

"Receipt Jinwu, the little Wuxia is Lujiang County Prime Minister."

"Order the entire county to set up porridge stalls wherever there are victims of disasters, and if anyone dies of starvation, everyone from top to bottom, including you, will be beheaded!"

Wu Xia shivered, didn't even care to wipe off his sweat, and went back to deliver the order without hesitation.

Then, the cavalry captain Zhang Xun, who was second only to Liu Xun in military rank, was also summoned.

Liu Bei pointed to Liu Xun's body and said, "You take his position, the county soldiers set up camp outside the city, and bring a map!"

Zhang Xun's heart skipped a beat, so he became a Tiger Tooth General?

Hurry up and half kneel to receive the order, and let the two thousand county soldiers in the city go out to camp.

When the map was unfolded, Zhang Xun performed actively and told all the news about the flood that he had heard.

The flood broke the embankment in Xunyang, so the main disaster was in the south of Xunyang, at least tens of thousands of people were affected, and the news of Xunyang was cut off three days ago.

This is not a good sign, it is very likely that the Xunyang victims have rioted.

"You, bring 2000 people and horses to Xunyang with food. One is to save the people, and the other is to control the victims of disasters and chaos. You are not allowed to kill people unless you have to!"

"Yes, the last general is leaving now!"

Liu Bei couldn't trust the other party: "Zhao Yun, bring someone to follow him!"

Just as Zhang Xun thought, there was indeed a riot in Xunyang. Tens of thousands of victims either paddled rafts or waded in the knee-deep flood, besieging the county town frantically.

Trapped in the city, there is also the doctor who came from Jiujiang to treat the victims.

Suddenly, the southern city wall, which had been soaked for half a month, collapsed with a crash!

The victims were stunned, cheered together, and rushed into the city like locusts along the gap.

Seeking the sun, in an instant, turned into a purgatory on earth.
