Chapter 94: Entering Luoyang City

The atmosphere in the county government became solidified. Liu Pi was obviously unwilling to release 40% of the food and grass to He Yi. There was not much food and grass in the city now. It was okay to say that only he was the only one of his troops in the city, but in the past few days, both sides frantically recruited people from the city in order to overwhelm each other. As long as the people in the city could get weapons, almost all of them now became the Yellow Turban Army, which not only did not lose the power of the two sides due to the continuous battle, but was more than before.

However, correspondingly, the consumption of food and grass is increasing. If the food and grass that were originally enough for Liu Pijun in March is now spread out, it will not be able to support it for half a month. It is no exaggeration to say that at this moment, as long as there is a living person in Geling City, even if it is the Yellow Turban, the number of Yellow Turbans has reached nearly 200,000. This number is almost comparable to the Yellow Turbans in Runan before the internal strife occurred.

He Yi came here today for that benefit. Now that the main force of the official army is at the city, he is also worried, but seeing the two of them, he feels inexplicably happy.

After some bargaining, the three parties finally reached an agreement. He Yi, Gong Du, and Liu Piping divided the food and grass of Geling, and defeated the official army, and then set up the rules of complementary attacks before they left.

However, compared to He Yi, who was so proud of his food and grass for nothing, Liu Pi, who had divided more than half of his food and grass for no reason, was obviously not so good.

...

Ye Zhao didn't know about the temporary reconciliation between the three forces in Geling City. He just needed to grasp the general direction. Food and grass were the key. When the food and grass in the city were all consumed, let alone He Yi and Liu Pi, there was a conflict between Gongdu, and even if there was not, he would be in chaos.

Ye Zhao was not concerned about this matter at this moment. In the handsome tent that had been set up, there were more than a dozen bamboo papers in front of Ye Zhao. Ye Zhao was writing hard until the sky gradually darkened. Ye Zhao stopped writing, stretched his body, and rubbed his eyes.

"Master." Fang Yue saw Ye Zhao stop writing and bowed forward and said, "Everything is arranged according to the lord's wishes. Depending on the situation, the Yellow Turban Thief in the city did not see the clues."

"Ye Zhao didn't pay attention to this matter. After stretching his body, he continued to write quickly, but this time he was not focused: "I will take Dian Wei away for a few days tomorrow. During this period, it's okay to follow the deployment mentioned before. Yesterday, Qiu Chi had already written to me, and several powerful men in Runan area have come to help, and arrange them according to the formation diagram."

Ye Zhao stopped writing and thought while saying, "If the Yellow Turban Thiefs in the city see the clues and send troops out of the city, if there are fewer soldiers, fight them. If there are many soldiers, avoid their edge. If they want to break through, let them break through. Don't force them to stay."

"The lord is a great responsibility for the three armies, why did he leave?" Fang Yue looked at Ye Zhao in surprise.

"I want to go to Luoyang. I have to submit some things to the court in person." Ye Zhao looked up at Fang Yue and said, "Although the Yellow Turban has a large number of powers, the decline has already appeared, which is not worth worrying. However, how to manage it after this chaos is the real issue that the court is considering. I hope to present this book to the court, whether to use or not, it is not necessary to do this matter."

What Ye Zhao wrote were all about how to manage the Yellow Turban after pacifying the Yellow Turban. He was the surviving landlord in his previous life. After the chaos, he still had some experience in how to restore people's livelihood. These days, Ye Zhao has been thinking about these issues. Times are different, and things from his previous life cannot be copied. However, as a reference, combined with the knowledge accumulation of his predecessor in his body and the experience he has accumulated for officials over the past few years, it is not difficult to write a book.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion, after all, was a competition between the aristocratic families and the imperial power, but there was no winner in this competition, and it was both a loss-making loss. No matter what the emperor originally planned, this uprising had indeed shaken the foundation of the Han Dynasty. Not to mention anything else, the emperor ordered officials of various prefectures and counties to recruit soldiers to fight the enemy on their own. No matter what pressure was under, the imperial court's control over the local area had begun to weaken from then on.

Ye Zhao wrote this book, on the one hand, he felt a little compassionate, hoping that the people would restore stability as soon as possible after the turmoil ended, but on the other hand, he also hoped to further improve his position among the emperor and even the scholars.

Although the class has solidified, it has not solidified so that there is really no room for promotion. Although there are no poor scholars at the top, it has not yet become a established rule. He hopes that before the class has completely solidified, he will completely enter the ranks of famous scholars, and the Ye family will completely advance from a powerful family to a prominent family.

There is no clear boundary. Ye Zhao had previously been appointed as a teacher and was qualified to be promoted to a prominent family. What he needed at this moment was status and reputation. This relic was the stepping stone prepared by Ye Zhao. As for how much effect it could play, Ye Zhao could not estimate at this moment, but as long as it could be useful, the benefits to him would be incalculable.

"It can be as short as three days, and it can be as long as five days. You must come back, don't worry." Ye Zhao finished writing the last roll of bamboo paper, dried the ink marks, stood up, and said to Fang Yue.

"I will arrange for the safety of the lord to protect the lord." Fang Yue hurriedly bowed.

"No need!" Ye Zhao stretched out his hand to stop it: "This trip is not to be arrogant. Dian Wei can go with me. You are here to preside over the war. Remember not to be careless and make a mistake when I come back."

"Here!" Fang Yue bowed and bowed.

That night, Ye Zhao put the bamboo paper into his luggage, and rode with Dian Wei, and rushed to Luoyang overnight.

Geling is six hundred miles away from Luoyang. Even if the two of them are excellent war horses obtained from the grassland, it will take a day and a night to rush to Luoyang. This is why Ye Zhao and Dian Wei are physically different from ordinary people and can withstand it. If someone else is unable to do so quickly, even so, the two passed Yingchuan and showed their official articles at Yique Pass. When they arrived in Luoyang, they were exhausted.

"Lord, will we go directly to see the emperor?" Luoyang is an unusual city. After entering the city, the princes and nobles were not allowed to ride horses unless they were urgently warned to report the fire. Ye Zhao and Dian Wei walked with their horses, and Dian Weibai asked boredly.

"It's not that easy. To see the emperor, you need to report in advance and then wait for the emperor to summon him. We don't have so much time to wait." Ye Zhao shook his head. It was a bit of a Violence this time. Not to mention that it's hard to meet. Even if he can see the emperor, Ye Zhao would not dare to see him at this time.

"Then what should we do in Luoyang?" Dian Wei glared in surprise.

"Go to see my mentor." Ye Zhao said casually.

Although it was even more effective to see Zhang Rang and others, it was a bit worthwhile to use the favors that had been contacted over the years. Secondly, it would be unfair to spread it in the future and it would not be good for his reputation. This time he came for the sake of fame, and the ten regular attendants would not be able to do it.

"Lord, will your mentor also behave blindly?" Dian Wei remembered the abilities that Ye Zhao showed in the past, and a hint of expectation appeared on his face. He could teach how powerful a disciple like Ye Zhao would be.

Ye Zhao said with a dark face: "My teacher is a great scholar of the world. His skills are not only minor ways. Although his mentor knows it, he is only a rough idea. My skills are inherited."

"Oh." Dian Wei suddenly felt a lack of interest when he heard this. What he annoyed most on weekdays was to see those scholars. In his impression, scholars were all full of bad things and cheating people to death is not worth their lives. Even his lord was no exception. Ye Zhao only had his appetite for him, so these people would not deal with them without dealing with them. If they could deal with them with their fists, they would never have to talk.

The Han Dynasty was in turmoil, but at the place where the dragon energy of the Han Dynasty gathered, I could not feel the panic and uneasy brought by that chaotic world. At first glance, it was like two worlds, with pedestrians and horses like dragons, as if they had entered a prosperous era. From time to time, you could see soldiers with distinct armored imperial guards patrolling each other on the streets. The scholars who were rarely seen on weekdays were everywhere in Luoyang, gathered in groups of three or five, or gathered in restaurants to talk about the world. The entire city was filled with a sense of comfort.

Ye Zhao didn't know where the Cai Mansion was. He also ran for a day and a night, and except for a small amount of water, the two of them had almost never eaten anything. Since they had arrived in Luoyang, Ye Zhao was not in a hurry to find Cai Yong immediately. He found a rather noble restaurant to go in and prepare to eat something.

"This... Is it necessary for food?" The restaurant's guest was not as difficult as the legendary. In fact, when opening a business, he usually talks about being kind and making money. The bigger the store, the more he pays attention to etiquette and will never offend people easily. Besides, although Ye Zhao and Dianwei were busy all the way, one was calm and calm, with a sense of oppression in every move, and the other looked fierce and evil. He was obviously not a person who was easy to mess with. He would provoke such people at will when he was kicked by a donkey on the forehead.

"Not bad." Ye Zhao walked in naturally without any intention of staying.

"The shop recently opened a gambling shop. I wonder if the young master is interested..." The guy's eyes were sharp. Although Ye Zhao was exhausted, he was calm and composed, obviously he was not short of money.

"Your restaurant is still doing this business?" Ye Zhao looked at the guy in surprise and asked casually, noticing that Dian Wei's eyes lit up a little when he heard the gambling table.

"Hey, my son doesn't know. Now this is the prevalent city in Luoyang. My house owner is also an expert, so he simply opened a gambling house in the house, which is also an input."

"No, I still have important things to do, so I will leave after dinner." Ye Zhao shook his head. He was not very interested in such things. If he was in business, he could think of a solution, but now he has not reached into Luoyang City, and the main things he is considering are not here.
