Fancheng and Xiangyang cross the Han River, one in the north of the Yangtze River and the other in the south of the Yangtze River. During the Three Kingdoms period, Guan Yu was powerful in China, and the seven armies were flooded here. At this time, Xiangyang in the south was the capital of Jingxi Road, and Fancheng was a small town. Although the town was small, it was an important wharf for crossing the Han River, and the riverside was extremely prosperous.

Wang Xiaoli stood on the ferry, looking at the houses by the river without anyone living in it, and sighed: "In this war, many families have separated their wives and children, and many families have been destroyed. It is a tragic incident that has been eternal."

Shao Ling beside him said, "Yes, this is a key to the north and south. I don't know how prosperous it is. A war will be ruined like this."

The north wind was howling, and Wang Xiaoli looked at the sparse ships by the Han River, and for a moment he felt a little sad.

Although Xiangyang Prefecture was captured by Jin soldiers last year, it was not much damaged. The Jin soldiers arrived here at the end of their strength, and they quickly retreated after breaking the city, and the city was not much damaged. In addition, many people from the north fled here, which was the most prosperous place Wang Xiaoli had ever seen.

Cross the Han River and enter Xiangyang City.

Shao Ling said: "Magistrate Li heard that Yang came in and attacked, so he hurriedly left. Niu Gao and I defeated Yang Jin on the other side. After receiving the orders of the state, we immediately entered Xiangyang City. Therefore, this war had no impact on Xiangyang, and the city was still prosperous now."

Wang Xiaoliu said: "For several years, this is the most prosperous city I have ever seen. The population is abundant and the market is lively."

While talking gossiped, they entered the Xiangyang Prefecture Office.

Sitting in the hall, Shao Ling recruited two people, one was Qiu Aissi and the other was Zhong Kongmu. After the officials fled, they now had the highest status and were in charge of all the miscellaneous matters.

He saluted Wang Xiaoli, and the two stood still.

Wang Xiaoliu said: "The state is difficult and the market is not peaceful. What is the important thing in Xiangyang City these days?"

Zhong Kongmu bowed: "I have observed that Xiangyang has been peaceful this year. There are many people taking refuge from the north, and the market is very prosperous. Prefect Li is resting and recuperating at the time, not disturbing people's livelihood, and there is nothing urgent."

Looking at the two, Wang Xiaolie smiled and said, "This is the best. These days, I'll ask you to deal with daily affairs and wait for the imperial edict. Before the imperial edict comes, I will temporarily stay in Xiangyang to prevent any trouble."

Zhong Kongmu and Qiu Ashi bowed together to say that.

He ordered the two to leave. Wang Xiaoli said to Shao Ling: "What I fear most is that these public officials say that there is nothing inside or outside. How can there be nothing in such a big city? The so-called peace is that things are suppressed by these people and ordinary people suffer."

Shao Ling said: "When he was in Ruzhou, every place was said to be Taiping. The prefect ordered the public officials to report themselves. What was the result? This time Yang Tiansong rebelled and heard that many public officials joined, he could quickly become bigger. Most of the local public officials were powerful people, so how could it be easy to get?"

Wang Xiaoli nodded: "It's true. But we are a guest army, so don't interfere too much in Xiangyang affairs now. As long as you garrison the army, you just need to look at it more and think about it, don't worry too much. Also, there are several states now, and our army is too small. A few days ago, your captive Yang Jin's troops should be selected in time. Anyone who is strong and can join the army will be incorporated into the army."

"There are still many people who are not suitable for joining the army, so what should we do? By the way, Yang Jin has forced many people to deal with them."

Wang Xiaoliu said: "The unsuitable military personnel and the people who are being held in Dengzhou are all placed in Dengzhou. No matter how the imperial court deals with it, there are only our troops in this area. There are so many troops, and there must be a place to eat."

Shao Ling nodded and understood it. Obviously, it was so easy to get Dengzhou and Xiangyang, and Wang Xiaolei was no longer satisfied with what he used to do. Since he occupied these states, Wang Xiaolei did not intend to give it up. But now there are few people who can use it, not as intense as in Ruzhou.

After lunch, Wang Xiaoli walked around the streets. Seeing that there were a lot of people and the market was very prosperous, there was no chaos, so he decided to ignore it for the time being. During this period, his main energy was still focused on Dengzhou. He could connect Ruzhou and Dengzhou and quickly expand the army. Only with useful talents could he truly develop Xiangyang.

When he returned to the prefecture, a soldier came to report that someone was asking for a visit outside.

Not long after, a middle-aged man in his thirties and forties came in. He came to Wang Xiaoliu and bowed and said, "I have seen and observed the wine Chen and Yi in Xiayuan Chenliu."

Wang Xiaolie thought about it and had no impression of this person. He asked, "I don't know what's going on?"

Chen Yuyi said: "Last year, the Jin people invaded Jingxi, and Xia and his family came south with their families. Two months ago, they went to Xiangyang and had to spend all their money. In winter, the Han River was not open, so they could only stay there for the time being. The prefect Li took special care of the prefect Li, but fortunately he was not hungry. Unexpectedly, a few days ago, a thief came south. The prefect Li left himself when he was in office, but he never said anything. He heard that the observations had sent troops to destroy the thieves and now the garrison in Xiangyang City. He came to ask for a visit."

Wang Xiaoli was confused. He thought for a while and said, "I don't know what's wrong?"

Li Yuyi hesitated for a while. After a while, he said: "My family is cold and hungry, and they are not good at eating. Please observe--"

"Oh——" Wang Xiaolien suddenly realized. It turned out that he was coming to his place to fight the autumn wind. The Jin army went south, and I don't know how many officials and people fled south. People like Chen and Yi are very common. They are officials and the court should help them. But now Zhao Gou is in a turmoil, so who cares about them? They all rely on savings and run south little by little.

Xiangyang is a major transportation route between north and south, and there are actually many officials fleeing south here. Wang Xiaoliu is now embarrassed and does not want to provoke him. Unexpectedly, Chen Yuyi took the initiative to come to him. It seems that life is indeed difficult.

Looking at Chen Yuyi, Wang Xiaoli thought about it and said, "To be honest, I only have one state and thousands of troops, which is really difficult. But I can't stand by death and refuse to save me. This way, why don't you work in our army and earn some salary?"

Chen Yuyi smiled, with a proud look on his face and no words.

Wang Xiaolien understood that this clearly looked down on him. Jianjiu was a small prison official, but he didn't expect that he still had such arrogance. Wang Xiaolien was very dissatisfied. He obviously couldn't eat enough, but he didn't want to do things and just wanted to get money. How could he do it?

After a while of silence, Wang Xiaolei said: "In Xiangyang City, I don't know how many officials from the south are like you. Relief one by one, how can our army have so much money? If you want to eat, you have to do things. How can you get it without work!"

Chen Yuyi thought for a while and said, "It makes sense to observe this. I don't know if there is anything to copy and write, how many cents a day to make a living. When the weather gets warmer, I will go south again."

Wang Xiaoliu said: "There are naturally many things in the army. Let's talk about your life experience first, where you are from, and I see how to arrange it."

Chen Yuyidao: "He is from Xiameizhou, and his great-grandfather Chen Gongmen moved to Luoyang, so he was born in Luoyang."

Wang Xiaolie asked: "Ministry of Chen, I don't know what the name is?"

Chen Yuyi said: "I am famous for Xiliang. I was once a transferee of Jingxi Road and was named the Minister of Works behind me."

Wang Xiaoli nodded. It seems that he had heard of Chen Xiliang, but he didn't know his life. He was a transferee from the West of Beijing during his lifetime and was considered a very small official in the Song Dynasty. Unfortunately, he was not a family of officials, so he couldn't say who he was.

Chen Yuyi also said: "In the third year of Zhenghe, a certain student was appointed as the first class, and was appointed as the professor of Kaide Prefecture. A few years ago, he was demoted to Chenliu because of his fault."

"It turns out he was born as a Jinshi--" Wang Xiaolie nodded. No wonder he was a little arrogant. The young Jinshi was a very famous figure in the Song Dynasty, so he naturally looked down on people like Wang Xiaolie. However, in the chaotic times, he had to come and ask for his sword and gun to speak.
