Chapter 1026 Gather people's hearts(1/2)
Governor Feng, who was fishing in Hedong, had no idea that even though he had done nothing innocent, he had already been labeled as a cunning person by the Chief Sima of the State of Wei.
At this time, he was receiving Li Xi who came from Bingzhou.
Li Xi was originally the charioteer of Bi Gui, the governor of Bingzhou. Later, General Guan captured Jinyang and Bi Gui committed suicide.
Biejia Li Xi surrendered on behalf of the officials in the city, and at the same time promised General Guan that he was willing to raise food for the army.
Of course, there are conditions, that is, General Guan must ensure that Jinyang City is not subject to military chaos. It would be better if the entire Bingzhou can be guaranteed.
The hidden conditions for raising food are also here:
The less war there is, the easier it will be to collect food.
To put it bluntly, it means paying protection fees to ensure safety.
General Guan was determined to move south quickly at that time, and he had no time to argue. When he saw someone willing to help raise food, it was naturally the best thing to do.
It is definitely false to say that General Guan led a large army across the border and was able to make local snakes bow to him when he showed his strength.
Who doesn’t know the bitter cold in Bingzhou?
Not to mention that the landlord’s family doesn’t have much surplus food!
You have to give everyone some time to prepare, right?
Therefore, after General Guan left, it was not easy for Li Xi to raise food.
It is certainly possible to raise some money, but to make everyone willingly hand over food is just a dream.
After all, I don’t know how many local snakes secretly want to wait and see.
The specific performance is:
Every time General Guan captured a city or a place in the south, Li Xi could raise an extra portion of food and grass.
This situation completely changed when Governor Feng went fishing on the river.
Ever since Governor Feng started fishing on the river, more and more families in the east of the river have been ruined and killed every day.
Moreover, most of the people who perished were aristocratic and wealthy families. No matter how many centuries of romance you have inherited, under the war, no matter how romantic you are, it can't withstand Mudleg's anger and dripping hunger.
Who gave you fields, land and food?
As the saying goes:
All you can see are the bones of aristocratic families, and all your ears can hear the tears of wealthy families.
Only the Guanjue River Valley, Bingzhou and Hedong are separated, and the sky and the earth are literally one and the same.
The violence of the chaos in Hedong, let alone the disasters caused by the barbarians decades ago, and even the Yellow Turban Rebellion, were far from reaching this level.
Both Li Xi, who surrendered from the city, and those strong men in Bingzhou who harbored ambitions for the Wei Dynasty, were all dumbfounded.
After being stunned, I started to feel frightened.
When it comes to the heritage of aristocratic families, Hedong is much richer than Bingzhou.
Even the old iron from Hedong cannot bear it, and it is even less possible to bear the iron from Bingzhou.
Even if someone was dissatisfied with Li Xi in the past, they would still have to take the initiative to give him peace money...
Pooh!
I was wrong, it was to supply the King's army with food and fodder to defeat thieves.
It doesn't matter whether you are willing or not, what is important is the initiative.
At this time, everyone no longer asked Li Xi to say a few nice words in front of Feng Junhou and General Guan. As long as he could say a few less words, that would be a blessing.
The most important thing is to ask Wang Shi to guard the key place of Guanjue River Valley and not to let the rebels from Sizhou flow back into Bingzhou and cause harm to the countryside.
Not to mention, the large number of Bingzhou Huqi that Master Wang currently controls in name is also a dagger in the throat of the Bingzhou aristocratic family.
Therefore, when Li Xi came this time, he not only brought a large amount of grain and grass, but also brought thousands of sheep and pigs to feed the army. There were a large number of barbarians in Bingzhou, so it was not difficult to bring out a large number of sheep.
"Li Langjun has worked hard, worked hard!"
Governor Feng greeted Li Xi enthusiastically, "This time the army has no worries at the rear. Li Langjun has done a great job!"
"Your Majesty, you have given me the reward, you have given me the reward!"
Li Xi wiped his sweat and secretly glanced at the fishing pole behind Governor Feng.
It’s really fishing by the river!
Thinking of walking along this road, I saw that Pingyang County and Hedong County, the two places under Sizhou, were basically full of chaos and devastation everywhere I looked.
I don’t know how many wealthy families were hanged from trees or at the entrance of the village by the mob.
Li Xi couldn't help but feel a little scared.
Fortunately, fortunately!
If Jinyang City is like Anyi City (the seat of Hedong County) and stubbornly resists the king's army, it will probably be even worse than Hedong if it cannot merge with the state.
After all, a considerable part of the tragic situation in Hedong is due to the Bingzhou Hu people.
But the person in front of me was leisurely fishing by the river...
Words like inhumane, ruthless, foresight, etc. floated through Li Xi's heart.
However, the words came out in his mouth:
"The prince led the king's army and established the Han Dynasty. This is a great achievement. Someone is just following the sky and attaching a tail. How can you dare to say that it is a great achievement?"
Can talk, I like it!
Feng Jishi narrowed his eyes with joy, glanced at the people behind Li Xi seemingly casually, and then asked:
"Then I wonder what Li Langjun thinks of the current situation?"
Li Xi looked calmly and said:
"The rebels are trying to resist the destiny of heaven, but they don't know how to follow the general trend, and bring disaster upon themselves. What's the point?"
If you want to achieve great things, if you follow the rules too much, you will easily be controlled by others; if you act too recklessly, you will easily lose people's hearts.
If someone says that the current situation in Hedong has nothing to do with Feng, then Li Xi doesn't believe it.
But if he was the one who ordered it, there is no evidence.
After all, people have been fishing by the river, and the army coming from Liangzhou has been divided into two groups to guard against Hexi.
Do you think he still has time to do this?
But right now, the east side of the river is inexplicably chaotic and turned into a pot of thick soup, and now it’s just waiting for King Feng Gui to take a spoon and drink it.
Not to mention Anyi City, which had previously resisted the Shu captives to the end, finally obediently opened the city gate and surrendered.
Even the powerful people from all walks of life in Bingzhou were so frightened that they hurriedly paid for their supplies to ensure their safety?
The officers and men under his command are good at fighting, and their methods are ruthless yet tactful.
Anyway, Li Xi felt that as long as King Feng Gui was determined to stay in Hedong, it was hard to say whether Wei would be able to win over him.
Therefore, it is better for everyone to be safe now and wait until the situation becomes clear before placing bets.
Help whoever wins, all in order to survive in troubled times, not shabby!
In order to protect the local officials from military chaos, it is not shabby to pay a few compliments to King Feng Gui.
Sure enough, seeing King Feng Gui receiving these compliments from Li Xi, he smiled even more happily.
He motioned to those behind Li Xi with his eyes:
"So, these people brought by Li Langjun are all heroes who understand destiny and follow the general trend?"
"I don't dare to be worthy of the Lord saying this, I don't dare!"
"Which one of us dares to be called a hero in front of the king?"
"That's right, the Lord has defeated us..."
Governor Feng listened and did not answer. He just smiled and then looked at Li Xi.
Although this action is not big, his attitude is very obvious: now he only recognizes Li Xi when he comes from Bingzhou, and does not recognize anyone else.
This is not arrogance, but self-confidence, and more importantly, it is a warning to this group of people:
Do you think you can be a minion of Ghost King Feng if you want to?
The five Xiongnu tribes in Bingzhou were basically wiped out in the northern part.
The remaining remnants are basically useless.
The left and right Xiongnu tribes are relatives of Liu Hun.
The remaining central and southern parts, if they really want to establish a relationship with each other, go back to their ancestors. They don't have to go too far. It is estimated that they can establish a relationship within three generations.
Coupled with the promises made by the generals before and the suppression by the army later, these Huns are still obedient until now.
With these Xiongnu beards in hand, it didn't matter to King Feng Gui what the wealthy Bingzhou clan wanted.
But if they really dare to take any action and are not afraid of ending up like the Hedong family, King Feng Gui will really dare to let a few evil dogs back.
To be continued...
