Chapter 105 Goodbye (4)
Lu Yao, who was suddenly mentioned by everyone, did settle in Yang Heng’s manor.
That day, outside the Luochuan Camp in Daijun, Lu Yao revealed his great ambitions hidden in his heart to Shao Xu. With Lu Yao's original intention, he originally planned to make a brief test, so he was ready to turn around at any time in his words. Unexpectedly, he hit it off with Shao Xu, which made Lu Yao overjoyed. Since the two understood each other's feelings, they discussed countermeasures overnight in order to seek the greatest benefit in the war-torn situation in Hebei.
According to the two agreed, Shao Xu was in charge of Dai County, manipulated and contacted many forces in secret, while Lu Yao went south with a light horse and dealt with many senior officials and nobles in Hebei. He could not only show his innocence and have nothing to do with the events that were about to happen, but also act appropriately according to changes in the situation.
Therefore, Lu Yao first went to Guangzong to visit Ding Shao, the governor of Jizhou, and then took the initiative to propose that Huan Yi, the subordinate who was willing to protect Ding Shao, went to Chiping to inform the military situation to the general of the Yanzhou army, General Gou Chun of Zhe Chong.
Unexpectedly, Shi Le's military talent was unexpected. The plan that Ding Shao had painstakingly planned was not only failed, but was instead tricked by Shi Le, who defeated the Yanzhou army and then led his army across the river to the Central Plains. Lu Yao and others were in a desperate situation, and happened to be on the way for the bandits to march southward.
This will inevitably lead to a last fight.
Lu Yao's personal soldiers, Ma Rui, took the lead in opening the way with his iron armor. He controlled the horse with his feet, waved his long siege of 16 feet in his left hand, and stabbed the fight with a short spear in his right hand, and sieged several sieges with his extraordinary courage. He was fighting in a deep place, but he was shot from his cheeks from nowhere, and shot through his cheeks. This heavy arrow was extremely powerful, and Ma Rui's upper jaw shattered and even his teeth were broken, so he could no longer fight.
At this critical moment, Lu Yao shot the enemy himself, even civil officials like Huan Yi had to draw their swords to defend themselves. Fortunately, the bandits respected Shi Le's order and marched south at full speed, intending to quickly seize the Chiping Ferry Crossing. Therefore, Lu Yao and others killed the bandits several times but did not attract the attention of any bandit leader, and the number of enemies they received was always limited. Except for the two brothers of Huan Yi, everyone was an elite warrior in the Dai County army, and the horses were also specially selected good horses. The enemy came fewer, they could not withstand their rush, and they came a little more, and they could not keep up with their speed. The group fought and walked, not even caring about the east, west, south and north, and only clashed in sparse places of the bandits.
It was not until night that the bandits of the bandits passed one after another. Five of Lu Yao's subordinates died in battle, and the rest were all injured. Everyone did not dare to delay, and used the starlight to identify the path and fled overnight. They waited until the next morning that they realized that they had been running all the way to Yangping County, and even crossed Yuancheng, almost reaching Baigou. The group was shocked and thought that Lu Yao had a lot of old friends in Yecheng and could provide good conditions for the wounded to heal and recover, so they simply turned to the direction of Yecheng. Lu Yao came forward to find Yang Heng and rested in his manor.
As the leading city in Hebei, Yecheng has its own economic foundation. There are valleys in the west of the city, and the fragrant forests and forests, and the output of various animals and plants is extremely rich, and there is graphite in the deep mountains to be excavated. The so-called graphite is coal from later generations. This thing is best used to cause fire. When Emperor Wu of Wei built Yecheng, he stored hundreds of thousands of kilograms of graphite in Taichung of the Ice Well. When Lu Yao's uncle Lu Yun worked under the command of Sima Ying of Chengdu, he once picked up several of them from three platforms and sent them to Lu Ji.
There are vast plains suitable for farming on the east, south and north sides of Yecheng. The water system on the plain is developed, with Fushui to the north of the Zhang River, Huan River to the south, and Qi River to the south. Between these rivers, there are twelve canals and Tianjingyans and other water conservancy facilities built since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, providing good irrigation conditions for the plain.
Yecheng was the northern capital of Cao Wei. Since the end of the Han Dynasty, many of the nobles of the Wei clans sought land and asked for houses here. After the dynasty, most of the royal princes and princes from Changdao Township were detained, and later they surrendered the princes of the Wei clans as county marquis. After decades, the former Wei clans gradually died of old age and scattered their clans, and the land they had in their hands was gradually transferred. Yang Heng's manor was obtained by a Wei clan.
This manor is not small in size. It also carries farmers and herdsmen and organizes servants to engage in silk weaving. In the past few years, Yang Heng's expenses to support the clan came from here. However, in the middle of the year, the bandits of Jisang Shile swept across Wei County and affected Yang Heng's manor. Even after vigorous repairs, they could not fully restore the scene of their prosperity. What Yang Heng did not expect was that from today on, the production of the entire manor would be destroyed again.
Because the refugees are coming.
These refugees wander aimlessly, like groups of migrating animals or livestock, relying on picking up various wild vegetables or sweeping over the immature food in the fields to survive. Yang Heng's manor was first occupied by a team of refugees, so that most of the servants of the troops could only gather in the fort in the middle of the manor. Once they left the fort, they would be difficult to move forward. If this continues, wouldn't a civil rebellion break out again? This situation will make the Yang clan who is responsible for managing the manor very scared and can only turn to the highest-ranking person present, General Yingyang Lu Yao.
Lu Yao didn't want to intervene, so he couldn't resist the Yang clan's request, so he had to run out from the side door of the Qizido Fort and look up at the hill.
The refugees flocked into Ye County, probably what happened last night. It was not clear at night. It was dawn at this time. When I looked up, the situation was really shocking. From a ditch south of the dock wall to the vicinity of the dock wall, about 2008, and around the north and south, there were many unclothed people sitting and lying in the fields and fields. The children made shrill and harsh crying, but they didn't seem to be taking care of them. Someone dug out some suspicious tubers from the soil, and did not wipe them. They chewed and swallowed them with the soil. The vicissitudes of the appearance supported each other with thin limbs, but did not move for a long time, and almost knew whether it was dead or alive. There were black crows in the sky, occasionally croaking and croaking a few times. Even if they flapped their wings and landed in the crowd, no one could speak out to drive them away, and it seemed that they were used to it.
There were about thousands or more of these refugees. The tragic and endless war destroyed their homes, leaving them with no hope or a way to live, and just wandered subconsciously, like walking corpses. Even Lu Yao, a warrior who struggled from the sea of blood in Bingzhou, once approached them, could not help but be frightened by the cruel scene in front of them and could hardly speak.
In addition to several personal guards, there was also a young scholar who went out to investigate with Lu Yao: "They should be refugees from the plains and Qinghe areas."
Lu Yao looked back at him. The young scholar showed a helpless look and said, "Shile bandits were sent to the southern part of Jizhou. They conquered counties and counties for several days, and the killing was invincible. The people were forced to embark on the road of escape, hoping to seek survival in Wei County, Guangping County and other places... Alas, since the previous military disaster, Wei County has been ruined and the treasury is empty. Where can I have the ability to help?"
Lu Yao pondered: "Yecheng is an important city after all. General Zhengbei and Yu are in charge of Yecheng. They have the responsibility of sacrificing the people and the responsibility of governing the people. They will always come up with some solutions."
The young man sneered and shook his head. Just as he was about to say something, smoke and dust rolled in the distance, and he rode around a huge circle to let the refugees fly over.
Lu Yao recognized that the knight was Yang Heng's subordinate. The man was running near, and flew off the horse and shouted: "General Lu, General Lu, General Zhengbei heard that you are here, please go see him immediately!" He took two steps forward and lowered his voice: "Today's emergency military report, Youzhou Governor Wang Jun is dead!"
