Chapter 80: Proper

Youzhou.

Holding the letter in his hand, Liu Shouguang's face changed a few times, and he finally returned to peace.

"I know, please say hello to the Chongzhengyuan officials on your behalf. I'll agree to such a trivial matter."

"Then I thank the governor, I can go back and report my life." His Highness and Envoy bowed and then said his retreat.

When the envoy left the hall, Liu Shouguang then clamped the letter into a ball and threw it into the ground, "Is there no one in Daliang bullying me, Lu Long?! This is a humiliation to someone!"

His Highness and all the generals and ministers were silent and no one answered.

There is no doubt that Daliang's request was a bit too much. Even if Daliang made such a request for himself, Liu Shouguang could still accept it. However, Daliang actually came to please others for the newly-promoted nouveau riche like Huaiyou, which made Liu Shouguang feel uncomfortable.

Liu Shouguang also knew that the armies in the south were actually in a state of abandonment. The repeated riots had proved that these armies were already a little unsustainable under their own deliberate squeeze. If they dragged on, the only result of these armies was rebellion, which was then wiped out by him in one fell swoop, completely eliminating the future troubles. Unexpectedly, such a huge change happened now.

Even though Liu Shouguang didn't like those armies, it was a matter of Lu Long's army after all. He would rather kill these thousands of soldiers into Jingguan than let these people fall into the hands of outsiders, not to mention that this involved the relatives and families of these thousands of soldiers, which were tens of thousands.

Of course, there are also benefits to solving this problem. First of all, you don’t need to use troops to eliminate the beasts and fight them. With a desperate bet, these chaos troops will also cause considerable harm to themselves. It is acceptable to drive out Lu Long in this way. As for the tens of thousands of relatives, it is a pity. I thought that they could be sent to slaves after the gang of chaos troops, but now they have to let these people leave safely. The Khitans know that they may be fond of their ears. The land they have freed up is probably the Khitans who have been salivating for a long time. Thinking of this, Liu Shouguang felt annoyed for no reason.

But now Daliang sent a messenger to ask for this relationship. Even if Liu Shouguang is already very annoyed by Daliang now, he still has to buy this account. Daliang is still his benefactor after all, and Liu Shouguang does not have the courage to completely turn against Daliang.

"What do you think?" Liu Shouguang's violent gaze stumbled on the faces of His Highness and the generals and ministers, and his tone was a little unkind.

"Sir, since Daliang has specially sent envoys to come, we may not be opposed by Lu Long. The situation in Lu Long is not good now. The Khitans are fierce and greedy, the Tuyuhun people are also ambitious, and the Shatu people in the west are even more determined to seize the states in the west. At this time, we are afraid that we should not be able to fight against Daliang." The first person standing among the civil officials came out and bowed, "The army of the south originally intended to disband, and it is safe to solve it in this way, so as not to have a war affect the states in the south. However, if the tens of thousands of relatives and families want to leave, they can't take their property away, so they can only take away their belongings. This has to be made clear to Daliang and they are not allowed to sell their own land. It is the government commonplace."

Liu Shouguang's eyes lit up, but this was a good suggestion. All the land was confiscated and sold to local big families. If the Khitan relatives wanted to take it, then let the neighboring big families negotiate with the Khitan relatives. It was not easy to mess with. It would be best to let them fight forever.

"I don't know what's going on with Chengde?" Liu Shouguang was still a little unwilling.

The population has been lost in vain. Although the number of Khitans has increased in the past few years, forcing the Han people to move south continuously, this is a gradual process after all. It is still rare for tens of thousands of people to move south like this to migrate south. What Liu Shouguang felt even more unhappy was that he could not pull some wool from these people.

"Sir, I think it's better not to cause trouble here. At present, Lu Long is in a bad situation and should not cause conflicts with Daliang. Since he has agreed, let these people go south. Staying these people in Lulong is also a disaster." The one who has been talking to Liu Shouguang was the counselor Qishe who valued the most. "As for the Chengde Army, Zhang Chujin is afraid that he would not dare to refuse Daliang's request? For him, this is a good thing that he is happy to see. His current situation is worse than our Lu Long. In addition to the few soldiers he has, how many people are under his command, who are there to obey him? If he drags on, he doesn't know whether he can control the entire Chengde Army."

Liu Shouguang was angry and resentful, but he also knew that what Qi She said was reasonable.

Now the situation in the three towns of Heshuo is that the eldest brother is not the second brother, each one is worse than the other. Except for Wei Bo because he is close to Daliang and willingly acts as the younger brother of Daliang, holding Daliang tightly and being able to maintain it, the situation of Lu Long's army and Chengde army is extremely bad.

The Chengde army was actually on the verge of disintegration, especially in the Heshuo drought this year, with hunger people everywhere and bandits rising. A large number of farmers in Lulong simply sold their land, either joining the Khitan chiefs to avoid rent and tax labor, or simply taking their families to the south.

The situation within the Chengde army was even worse, and a large number of refugees flocked to the Taining Army's jurisdiction and Yanqing Miyi prefectures.

Now a large number of thieves and water bandits rely on Juyeze to hide, and the scale has rapidly expanded to more than ten times the original size. Tens of thousands of bandits gathered here. Not only did Yunzhou where Juyeze is located be disrupted, but even Jeju, Yanzhou, Puzhou and Caozhou, which are close to their brothers, are often attacked and looted by Juyeze. Juyeze has become a major disaster for the Taining Army and the northeastern Daliang.

In addition to the Juye gang, a considerable number of refugees flocked to Mount Tai to hide, and they were mixed with the original Mount Tai bandits, and their power quickly expanded.

Now the Taishan bandits and the Juye bandits are echoing each other from east to west, and there is even a tendency to alliance or even merge. This also makes the Taining Army and the Pinglu Army very nervous, fearing that these two bandits will join together and become a chaos like ant thieves.

Now the Pinglu army and the Taining army both hated the disasters brought by the refugees in the three towns of Heshuo, and were also extremely dissatisfied with the three towns of Heshuo that caused these troubles. If these three towns were not able to face the drought and provide disaster relief, how could such a big disaster have occurred? Now, these refugees rushed south in a swarm, but ran to the Taining Army and the Pinglu Army to fall into trouble, causing trouble to the Pinglu Army and the Taining Army.

Now the biggest problem of the three towns of Heshuo and Taining and Pinglu troops is the cause of God. The year of heaven does not take action and drought makes the entire Heshuo and Qilu land dying. If God still does evil next year, it will be a disaster in front of us. So now the three towns of Heshuo and Pinglu and Taining troops are now silenced, hoping that there will be a good harvest in the coming year and can breathe a sigh of relief. Now it is like fighting.

*********************************************************

Hou Chen rushed to Youzhou almost without stopping.

He was the chief envoy who was specially responsible for contacting and coordinating the affairs of the Heshuo Army who was submissive to Huaiyou. Another deputy envoy went to Zhenzhou Prefecture, where the governor of the Chengde Army was located, to govern Zhending.

When he came to Youzhou, Hou Chen expected that he would encounter a lot of trouble. Liu Shouguang was not a good person and must be unhappy with such a large group of people's losses, but he could not ignore Daliang's requirements, so he would definitely find fault in specific operations.

However, before coming to Youzhou, Wuwentang had already provided Hou Chen with a lot of information, especially Qi She, the important minister who Liu Shouguang relied mainly on, did not object to these relatives and families of Lu Long Army going south, and even supported them. This news made Hou Chen feel much more confident.

As long as you have to complete all the matters, many other matters will be solved. Everyone below has received orders and will do it as long as you don’t obstruct it.

After giving away a hundred gold coins, all the problems are quite simple.

The Defense and Defensive Envoy Mansion specially provided 500 gold for Hou Chen's vocation, which was used to deal with Lu Long and Chengde Army and the Daliang states along the way. The 100 gold spent on the Lu Long Army was worth it. With Qishe's support, the rest of the people below also opened a door of convenience. Of course, Hou Chen was not stingy to spend the money he should spend. From the state to the county and township, the officials who could play a role gained benefits, and naturally their efficiency increased greatly.

These relatives and family members had already received the news. Once they were confirmed, they would immediately pack up and leave them all. They would try to sell them if they really couldn't bear it. Within ten days, everyone began to leave home and headed south from all over the country.

Several officials from the government affairs school who followed Hou Chen also crossed the region to handle such affairs for the first time, and they were all excited.

Such a huge group has to go south for thousands of miles, and pass through the prefectures and counties. Along the way, you need to prepare necessary drinking water and food for them, and also prevent the epidemic from happening. Fortunately, the weather has turned cold at this time, so there is no need to worry too much.

As long as you can experience this matter, these first-handed operators will have a great political achievement in the future. After returning to Huaiyou, you will have much greater chance of promotion.

For Hou Chen, this is also a coexistence of challenges and opportunities. He is very clear that his performance in Shuzhou has been recognized, so that he can get this opportunity. Otherwise, such a complex and huge business would have his own share?

So in the past half a month, he was traveling back and forth between Jixian and various counties, making contacts during the day, and consulting with his subordinates at night to arrange the second day's affairs. In just over ten days, almost everyone lost about ten pounds, but they were all excited.
