The second update is here, please give me a monthly ticket! The update of 10,000 yuan a day, Lao Zhuang promised to do it, thank you for your support... Liu Xiu came and went in a hurry, and only stayed in Luoyang for two days before returning to Chang'an. However, when he came, he only brought a hundred cavalry, and when he returned, the team grew a lot. Not only Zhang Fei and Hao Zhao brought the two hundred guards and the two hundred halberds and more than one hundred swords and shields of Xiahou Yuan. Although Xiahou Yuan was not many, his troops were awesome. Dian Wei held a thick flag with one arm, and no matter the wind tugged the flag, he still did not move at all. The other opponents of the halberds on his waist were thick and heavy. It is said that each halberd was forty kilograms, which was heavier than the halberds in the hand of the halberds.

Xiahou Yuan was very proud. He saw joy and helplessness in Liu Xiu's eyes, and knew that he was betting (the second update, please give me a monthly ticket!). By the way, Liu Xiu was determined to grab people, but he was embarrassed to grab them from him. In a short period of time, Dian Wei, who was extremely powerful, was his commander.

This is a powerful general who is comparable to Xu Qian. With such a general, he would have an extra weapon.

Liu Xiu followed Xiahou Yuan's request and took the name Borou for Dian Wei. Wei originally meant mature cowhide and was often used to make bamboo slips, so there was a story about Wei editing the three masters. Liu Xiu said that Dian Wei had good strength and was extremely strong. This is the innate quality of a powerful general. If he could destroy hardness and softness and achieve the state of combining hardness and softness, he would no longer be able to be as strong as Xu Jun, so he could be as invincible as Xu Jun. Therefore, he took the name Borou. Bo, who meant to grow up and was also a domineering domineering, hoping that he could dominate the unparalleled power.

Dian Wei was very satisfied. He went from an ordinary recruiting soldier to become a subordinate of Xiahou Yuan, and was given the title of General Wei. He felt very honored and made up his mind to follow General Wei and Captain Xiahou to make meritorious contributions to the western border.

These five or six hundred people are all elite and have mounts. They are very fast, but they arrive at Tongguan in just two days. As soon as they enter the Guancheng, Liu Xiu saw Dong Zhuo's ceremonial war.

"Zhongying?" Liu (second update, please give me a monthly ticket!) Xiu threw the stirrup away from his saddle, walked towards Dong Zhuo who was coming over, and smiled and said, "Are you in a hurry to take up your post?"

Dong Zhuo was a bit proud. Liu Xiu sent someone to invite him into the curtain twice, but he refused. Now he was appointed as the General of the Eastern Central Army as he wished. He fought with Zhang Jiao head-on. The emperor's trust can be seen. This time he brought nearly a thousand divisions from Longxi. With these people, he would not repeat his mistakes in Yingchuan. He made contributions right in front of him, and of course he was in a good mood.

"Hahaha. General Wei is coming quickly." Dong Zhuo stepped forward to salute, then took Liu Xiu's arm intimately and entered the main hall of Yacheng together. The hall had already arranged wine and food. It seemed that Dong Zhuo was ready as soon as he received the person Liu Xiu sent to report the news. "The world is disturbed, we serve the country from east to west. We will part today. I don't know when we will reunite. Let's take this wine and drink a cup of water to ask General Wei for some ways to use military service. Please don't refuse."

Liu Xiu laughed: "Brother Zhongying, you're just here. Although my current official position is higher than yours, I have never underestimated you." Liu Xiu smiled while taking the seat. "We talk nonsense, why are we asking for advice?"

Dong Zhuo also laughed. The two of them drank a few drinks first, and then talked about the war in Shandong. Dong Zhuo knew that although Liu Xiu had been in Guanzhong, he knew a lot about Shandong, and he wanted to fight with Zhang Jiao. Zhang Jiao was well versed in Taoism, and he was always a little uneasy. Liu Xiu had a close relationship with Tianshi Dao and knew some Taoism. He wanted to ask Liu Xiu for some ways to deal with Zhang Jiao.

After hearing Dong Zhuo's concern, Liu Xiu said disapprovingly: "Zhang Jiao has some deceptive Taoist techniques, but in my opinion, Taoist techniques have limited effects on the battlefield, otherwise, Zhang Jiao would not have been defeated by my husband." Liu Xiu took a sip of the dish and threw it into his mouth, chewing it creaked, and it was a rude warrior. Dong Zhuo looked at it very much, and then poured wine one by one, making his chest dripping. "If it's use, I think it's nothing more than two aspects."

Dong Zhuo quickly put down his wine glass, raised his ears, and moved forward: "Please give General Guard's advice."

"First, above the battle formation, he may use some special rhythmic sounds, such as drums and roars, to boost morale and hit the morale of his opponents. You also know that when he gets on the formation, he will inevitably be a little nervous and afraid. As long as he shouts it out, it will make people feel passionate and fearless. Many people in the Yellow Turban are believers of Taipingdao, and they are convinced of these talisman techniques. After hearing these sounds that have a certain deception effect, they will rush hard and rush hard, and they may be able to overturn you in one go."

Dong Zhuo nodded repeatedly: "It makes sense, it makes sense. We often use this method, but in terms of boosting morale, there is indeed no more convincing spells that pretend to be a ghost."

"That's right." Liu Xiu raised another finger: "The second one is to prevent him from assassinating you." Liu Xiu grinned: "Brother Zhongying, even if you can shoot left and right, you are also a brave general who is not brave enough to be a thousand men, but when it comes to assassination, you really may not be able to defend against it."

Dong Zhuo smiled disapprovingly. Liu Xiu said it right. The assassin was hidden in the dark, and it was indeed impossible to defend it with courage. However, he had been fighting for more than 20 years and had a group of loyal and experienced personal guards around him. How could the assassin easily get approached? This is not a big problem for him. Liu Xiu seemed to be speaking readily, but in fact he did not involve real problems. For example, why did Lu Zhi suddenly get rid of his post even though he had won the battle. He didn't believe that it was such a simple slander from a little eunuch. He had seen the emperor and did not believe that the emperor was so stupid.

"What else?" Dong Zhuo raised the wine glass to his lips and looked at Liu Xiu with a smile. Liu Xiu leaned back and looked at his eyes for a moment. Suddenly he laughed and pointed at Dong Zhuo with his fingers, "You Dong Zhongying, you are so loyal and traitor. You know it yourself, why bother to ask me to say it."

Dong Zhuo blinked in confusion: "What do I know?"

"Okay, the wise man doesn't say secret words. In fact, those two problems just now are not problems. The biggest problem is: money and grain." Liu Xiu clapped his hands: "You go to Luoyang now, you need officials, soldiers and soldiers, but you don't have money and grain. Why did Yuan Shu fight in Nanyang? Because he has money and grain, and the soldiers are willing to work hard, but what about you? You are empty-handed, even if the emperor squeezes all the food between his teeth, it will not solve any major problem."

Dong Zhuo grabbed his thick beard hard and sighed. This is indeed a big problem. If you don’t have money or food, how can you fight?

"Then General Guard thinks that the plan will be released?"

"Two tactics, one, fight quickly and decide quickly. Take down Julu in one go. Kill Zhang Jiao. Once Zhang Jiao dies, the dragons in Taiping Road will have no heads, and they will naturally scatter like birds and beasts. Second, guard the main focus, guard the Arc destiny. Ensure the safety of the capital and wait for changes."

Dong Zhuo wrinkled his nose and was not very satisfied with Liu Xiu's two methods, but after thinking about it, there seemed to be no better way, so he couldn't help but sigh. It seems that it is not easy to make contributions this time. The court is so poor that it is so poor that it can fight. Unless... unless... like Liu Xiu, he will pay credit to the powerful with his left hand and rob with his right hand.

As soon as this thought came, Dong Zhuo's eyes lit up and then dimmed again. Only Liu Xiu could do the credit, but he didn't understand the business. He would rob, but who would rob him when he was in the capital? He was a small Dongzhonglang general. He was a man with his tail and could not be able to keep an official, but he dared to rob him. No one he could withstand.

Dong Zhuoyue became more and more discouraged when he thought about it. He drank a lot of worries and soon became high.

The next day, Liu Xiu and Dong Zhuo waved goodbye, and Dong Zhuo went east and west. Not far from Tongguan, he entered the Jingzhao territory. Along the way, people who were harvesting in autumn could be seen everywhere on both sides of the road. Some of the wheat fields had been harvested, and only a short wheat stubble was left, and some had not yet been harvested. The yellow wheat was spread on the ground like a golden blanket, which made people feel warm in their hearts.

The farmers were wearing short-snubs and naked upper body, sweating profusely in the wheat fields. Some were carrying loads of heavy wheat ears, humming high-pitched trumpets, running on the field stems, and the shoulder poles that were almost broken were jumping heavily on their shoulders, squeaking happily, as if responding to the loud trumpets.

In the harvested wheat field, some old men and half-aged children were carrying baskets and picking up the missing wheat ears one by one. Several girls rolled up their trousers, revealing half of their calves, and walked past the fields lightly, carrying water and bread on their shoulders, and greeting the busy people with a crisp sound like a yellow oriole to drink some water, eat something, and take a break.

Liu Xiu was in a bad mood after leaving Luoyang. This time Lu Zhi was dismissed from office, Zhang He and Xiahou Yuan withdrew from the Northern Army, and he completely exiled himself from Luoyang. Next, he would bring wind and snow to Chang'an, leaving only Wang Chu to symbolically manage the industry in Luoyang. When necessary, Wang Chu would also leave everything from Luoyang to Chang'an. He was ready to give up the development in Luoyang and shift the focus to Guanzhong. This was not his wish, but it was just to eliminate the fear in the emperor's heart in exchange for greater development space.

However, Luoyang has too many memories, so how can it be said that if you give up, you can give up? Leaving that heroic city, Liu Xiu didn't know if the heroic city was safe and sound the next time he returned here. Although he had poached most of Dong Zhuo's foundation, the possibility of Dong Zhuo's disaster with the Western Liang army was greatly reduced, on the other hand, the harm of the Yellow Turban exceeded the historical memory. Will they destroy Luoyang like the Red Eyebrow destroy Chang'an?

He doesn't know.

This guess is like a thick dark cloud covering his heart, making him unable to breathe, and making him feel desperate. He wished he could assemble and Liang's army to sweep the world in the shortest time, sweep the powerful families who fought for power, including Zhang Jiao, and restore peace to the world. Unfortunately, he couldn't do this, and he really wanted to jump out. Maybe he died the fastest. He is now indifferent to the past and has no meal. He even had to piece together a fight with Song Jian, so what capital has to sweep the world?

In the past, it was said that it was easy to get a thousand troops, but he was hard to find a general, but now he has gathered many elite soldiers and generals, but he has no food. This is simply a great irony. Just like a sharpshooter who doesn't have to consider bullets in the game came to the real world and found that although he had a good marksman of one hand, he could not afford a bullet, as helpless and heavy as he could.

The golden wheat was like golden sunshine, piercing the haze in his heart, and his depressed mood sootheed a lot. Looking at the smiling faces filled with joy of harvest, a long-lost touch suddenly surged in his heart, and tears unknowingly moistened his eyes.

The people worked hard for a year, for the sake of today's harvest, isn't my greatest wish to protect their joy? For the sake of harvest, the people can endure years of hard work, and my wish is even greater. Why can't they endure temporary setbacks, let alone this is just a temporary retreat, for a comeback in the near future.

He raised his hand and issued a simple and powerful command: "Roll up the battle flag and walk slowly! Don't compete with the people!"

"Here!" Zhang Fei gave the order, the two knights in parallel slowed down and merged into one, controlling the horses under their seats, for fear that they would collide with the farmers carrying loads on the road and the children running and playing.

A middle-aged man who was avoiding the roadside raised his dark face and looked at Liu Xiu. He suddenly screamed in surprise: "General Wei?"

Liu Xiu bowed and smiled, raised a finger to put it on his lips, signaling him not to yell, then bowed and said "Thank you hard" and hurriedly led the soldiers. Liu Xiu bowed and greeted him, and the soldiers behind him did not dare to be negligent. Although they did not bow one by one, they all showed a kind smile when they passed by the man. The man was stunned for a moment, and his eyes were further and further along with Liu Xiu's war horse. The burden on his shoulders slid to the ground at some point.

"Oh, Bao Wencai, what do you think, why don't you leave quickly?" his companion who was blocking the way shouted dissatisfied.

"Hey, it was General Wei just now, General Wei, do you know?"

"General Wei?" his companion was startled. He also put down his burden, took off his clothes from his neck and wiped his face. He stood on tiptoe and looked at the cavalry team with only a little dark shadow: "You mean, did you see General Wei just now?"

"Not." The man clapped his hands excitedly: "He is still saluting me."

"Bah!" his companion spitted and rolled his eyes: "What a noble person General Wei is, can he salute you a man? You are quite famous in Xinfeng, but compared with General Wei, you are not even an ant. If you are so hot, go to the shade of the tree next to you to rest, don't block me from working."

"Ha, you know what?" The man took on the burden again, and while mingling with his companions, he walked forward, but he was thinking in his heart. General Wei's eyes seemed a little wrong, as if he was crying. I don't know what happened that made the powerful young general so excited?

The people along the way looked at the elite soldiers who were rolling up flags and walking silently, one by one, but they didn't think too much. Liu Xiu and the others were like a gust of wind passing through the lake, blew a ripples, and slowly dissipating, which only stirred up in the heart of the man named Bao Wencai for a long time. While carrying the load, he looked at the cavalry that he could no longer see, and had already made a secret decision in his heart.

After harvesting the wheat, you will join the army! It must be a very worthwhile thing to fight with this general of guard.

When they arrived in Chang'an, Liu Xiu went straight to his shogunate. Xun Yu was discussing with Jingzhao Yin Liu Tao. Liu Tao sighed, and Xun Yu's face was not good. As soon as they saw Liu Xiu, they exchanged glances with each other and stood up to greet them.

Liu Xiu glanced at the account book on the case and lowered his face: "What's the matter?"

"It's nothing..." Liu Tao stumbled for a few words, and as soon as he met Liu Xiu's sharp eyes, he lowered his head guiltily. Xun Yu smiled bitterly: "General, Qiu Grain has not been completely collected yet, and someone is already in contact with exporting."

Liu Xiu raised his eyebrows and became angry. He was about to get angry, but he stopped it again. He gently placed the whip on the table and asked calmly: "Who buys it? Who sells it? What price?"

Xun Yu and Liu Tao were surprised to see that Liu Xiu was not angry. Liu Tao coughed: "General, this is just a little guess. Recently, news came from Wuguan that many Nanyang merchants heard that Guanzhong is well-educated this year, and they sent people to contact the purchase of grain. The general also knew that Nanyang started fighting since the beginning of this year, and spring plowing was delayed. Tens of thousands of troops gathered in Nanyang, which consumed a lot. Even those big clans were a little tight, so..."

"Who is interested in selling it? What's the price?"

"Of course, they are the powerful people in Guanzhong, especially those who are headed by the Ma family and rely on the Yuan family." Xun Yu continued, "The price is fair, it is about 300 coins per stone. This is just a temporary bargaining price, and I guess it will increase later."

The price of grain in the Eastern Han Dynasty was usually around 100 coins per stone, but it was not accurate during famine. During the famine in Luoyang, it was once sold for 8,000 coins per stone, and 10,000 coins per stone. Although the harvest has been bad in recent years, overall, there has not been a large-scale famine. Three hundred coins per stone is a good price for large-scale purchase of grain.

Liu Xiu clamped his fingers and clattered. He was very angry. These Guanzhong tyrants got his benefits, but they were still only concerned about their own interests. Knowing that he urgently needed a lot of food now, he still wanted to sell the food to outsiders. He suppressed his anger and glanced at Liu Tao and Xun Yu, and finally said to Xun Yu: "Wenruo, what do you think?"

Xun Yu smiled slightly: "I have an idea and am trying to ask the general whether it is feasible."

"Tell me," Liu Xiu was delighted.

"They can sell grain, but the grain they should give us is not allowed to be less than a stone. If anyone wants to lose one stone, we will send hungry soldiers to ask for it."

Liu Xiu didn't say anything, but Liu Tao was shocked and sent hungry soldiers to ask for food or death? He was about to refute it, but he felt that there was no legitimate reason. At that time, Liu Xiu had an agreement with these powerful men to take up part of the land and he had to pay a certain amount of food. Now these powerful men want to repent, so it is not a fault for turning against others.

He suddenly realized a problem. Xun Yu said that he should not be missing. Can the remaining grain from the powerful men be sold freely? He raised his head and looked at Xun Yu, and was facing Xun Yu's calm gaze.

"In addition, when we signed the contract, we had a priority clause with the same price. We bought the grain outside the plan at a price of 500 yuan per stone. Whoever dared to sell the grain to outsiders below this price but did not sell it to us will be severely punished."

"What if it's higher than this price?" Liu Tao asked hurriedly.

"Of course, you are willing to do it, and those with the higher price will get it." Xun Yu smiled faintly: "However, the city tax cannot be reduced. In addition, you should give priority to purchasing the surplus grains of the people at this price. Then buy the insufficient amount from the big families." (To be continued...
