Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 1188: Acting in Difficulty
From Xuzhou to the west and then north, you can walk to the borders of Yuzhou, Yanzhou, and even part of Sizhou. This area is actually filled with dense forests and swamps, but the several cities located in it are where the population gathers.

The Sanli of the Han Dynasty spent most of their time operating the Central Plains, so the development of this area was relatively in-depth. Although it was limited by the level of productivity, it was unable to make much transformation and changes to nature. But even so, hundreds of years of policies and the Gyeonggi The effect has turned this place into a truly densely populated and economically developed area.

But once a place like this falls into war, it will be hit immediately.

The collapse of social relations and the collapse of the economic system will directly cause countless people to lose the means and skills to make a living, and a large population will become a hotbed of chaos.

"Since the destruction of the Zhao Kingdom, this area has completely lost order. Bandits are rampant everywhere. Even when the Xuanjia Army came, it took more than half a year to straighten things out. Now there are still bandits appearing along the way."

After briefly introducing the situation there to Director Wang, the guide saw the expressions of many of the envoys and explained: "Everyone, a black armor army will come to protect you. With them here, not to mention the bandits." I don’t dare to come at all, even if I come, I will never come back!”

"Is this Xuanjia Army so powerful?" One person couldn't help but ask, but he was a junior from the Zhang family who came with him. However, his achievements in officialdom were quite good and he could speak well among the envoys.

"The Xuanjia Army is not powerful, but it is invincible!" The guide sighed and sighed, "With the protection of the Xuanjia Army, you can all sit back and relax, and the Prime Minister can also see the situation in the North from the same perspective. In fact, if it had been two years at night , I’m afraid that the entire northern land will be governed like that in Youzhou, with no disasters or disasters, and then there will be no way to decide which way to go.”

The people in the envoys all looked at each other with emotion as they listened, but most of them had a new understanding of the benefits of the black armor. After all, this guide had been in the North all year round and was well-informed. His words Undoubtedly more convincing.

Compared to others, Director Wang had seen more. He suddenly realized that the people's hearts in the North were changing.

"The imperial court is sitting on the left side of the river. In the future, it will have a chance to restore the world. It depends on the idea of ​​orthodoxy. This idea of ​​orthodoxy sounds mysterious, but in fact it is just the support of the people. It is who the aristocratic family and the people think should be in the world. With this foundation, it is There is room for change, but from what this guide said, they already believe that under the notification of the Black Armor Army in the North, there will be long-term peace, prosperity, and well-being, which is not a good phenomenon!"

Thinking of this, Director Wang's expression became more solemn and serious, and even many of his original plans were shaken.

Even when he first heard about the unification of the North, he was never so shaken.

After all, it is a bit mysterious to talk about people's support, but when it comes to specific things, it is nothing more than making people live and work in peace and contentment, making the people healthy, passing on the family line, and allowing aristocratic families to enjoy privileges and maintain wealth and power.

If it turns out that Beidi Xuanjia can do it, then why should they sacrifice the near and the far to pursue a bigger change?
You know, even if Chen Zhi suppresses the influence, power, and even inheritance of the aristocratic families, after experiencing the baptism of troubled times, these aristocratic families have become honest, know how to restrain themselves, and know that after repeated tossing, the final benefits may not fall on themselves. .

"It may take a period of peace, or even the generation that experienced the war has passed away, before the aristocratic family can think about it again, just like the previous 30 years of unification. It's just that at that time, bureaucrats who came from the imperial examination Enough, I’m afraid the resistance will be even greater…”

With such thoughts in mind, Director Wang soon met the Xuanjia Army that was rumored to be protecting him and others.

There are indeed a lot of people in this guard, and they are well-organized. The person leading this army is not an unknown person.

"This man's name is Li Tou. He is now one of the eight major captains. He led the troops in the southern expedition and has quite a record. He was born in Chen Wu's camp. Chen Wu is now guarding the northern border. He is the general of the Five Directions. He is in the Xuanjia Army. He is quite powerful and should not be underestimated." "I do know this person. I only heard of his name in the past, but this is the first time I saw him today."

Listening to the guide's introduction, Director Wang nodded and then stepped forward to greet them.

"I have met General Li and heard about his name for a long time. When I saw him today, he was indeed an extraordinary warrior."

"Prime Minister Wang, you're too polite, you're too polite!" Li Tou, who was quite impressive now, laughed loudly when he heard this, "But I, Old Li, know my own affairs. The Prime Minister is trying to put money on my face. I don't think so." If you are a brave warrior, you can even fight a little, so if you come here to protect the prime minister today, I will ensure that you are safe."

As he spoke, he raised his hand, and the black-armored soldiers behind him immediately dispersed in an orderly manner. As they marched, the footsteps sounded like a single person, which brought bursts of noise, making the envoys led by Director Wang panic.

But there were also some who had seen the world and had been in contact with the Xuanjia Army in the past. At this time, they felt a little superior and began to explain to them the strict discipline of the Xuanjia soldiers and horses.

Soon, there were exclamations from the crowd.

The Xuanjia army led by Li Tou was very fast. In just a few breaths, they formed a formation and surrounded the delegation.

Looking at the soldiers with serious faces and sharp blades, the envoys felt both relieved and worried, with mixed emotions.

However, Director Wang looked as usual. Instead of following the envoy's carriages and horses, he came to Li Tou and asked for a group of horses. He got on top, walked a few steps, and praised: "Good horses, sit on them. Then you will know its power!”

"The Prime Minister has great eyesight," Li Tou said with pride, "Of course this horse is a good horse. This is the territory of the Central Plains, which is what our Xuanjia Army can have. The stallion of this horse actually comes from the Western Regions..." At this point, he suddenly realized that he had revealed some information that he shouldn't have said, so he shut up decisively, and then laughed.

Director Wang remembered it in his heart, but did not ask any further questions. Instead, he took the initiative to change the topic and said, "I wonder how many soldiers and horses the Xuanjia Army came here today?" He didn't just pick a topic at random, but paid attention. There are indeed not many people in this Xuanjia army, so the formation changes quickly.

Thinking about passing through what is said to be the most dangerous place under the protection of these soldiers and horses, even if you have a plan, you will inevitably have worries.

"A total of a thousand people!" Li Tou said, noticing the change in Director Wang's expression and guessing what he was thinking, "Prime Minister, don't worry. Although there are only a thousand people, there is no need to worry even if tens of thousands of thieves attack. If we are fully prepared, we will definitely make sure they never come back!"

Director Wang nodded in agreement, but he still had doubts about these bold words. He thought that he might be able to withstand the impact, but if it was a thousand against ten thousand, it would not be easy for them to come back. After all, a field battle is not an siege. .
