The canal construction site is all flat land, suitable for cavalry to run. The Imperial Guards abandoned their helmets and armor and fled in all directions, but how could two legs outrun four legs? Many Imperial Guards were overtaken from behind by the Han King's guards. The skilled knights Without even swinging the knife, he tilted his body, raised the scimitar flatly, and directly cut off the fleeing enemy's head with the help of speed. Some people thought it was troublesome to use a sword, so they took out their riding bows and shot an arrow. The arrows were all empty. The imperial guards fell down in response. The five hundred light cavalry were like five hundred tigers, driving the three thousand forbidden troops across the mountains and plains. Before the cavalry, Under the intense pursuit, interception and force deterrence, the frightened Imperial Guards knelt down and surrendered one after another. The knights drove the captives back like a flock of sheep. At this time, Yuan Feng was comforting the people who had escaped. Elders crying with joy surrounded the King of Han, shouting "long live the mountain". The scene was warm and touching. The prisoners were escorted, and according to the policy of the Han army, those who were willing to surrender were incorporated into the army, and those who were unwilling to surrender were incorporated into the army. ûÏ3¬³¯Í4žXÜ£¬»Õ湎úÁ ChanìÖÝ£¬ËûÃÓëѾ¾øΰ Temple Hushu£\ The Han army was already familiar with collecting prisoners, and immediately began to collect them in an orderly manner. The general who led the team came from the prisoners. He walked out, fell to his knees with a plop, and said that the King of Han was a thousand years old, and he was willing to surrender. His calculation was quite good. The Han army treated prisoners preferentially, and officers who were willing to surrender were usually admitted with the same rank. He could become an officer of the Han army just by changing his identity, and he would still be superior to these mud-legged commoners. The people recognized him as the culprit who massacred the common people, and the crowd was excited and surged forward. The general turned pale with fright, and kowtowed like garlic: "Grandpa, King of Han, I have been serving in the Forbidden Army for many years, and I am quite a bit I¡¯m willing to tie the knot of grass to repay you if I keep my connections. Just as he was about to speak, Liu Ying¡¯er behind him quietly pulled down his sleeve. Yuan Feng turned around and saw Liu Ying¡¯er! He stretched out his palm and made a gesture of cutting a melon, and he understood in his heart, and said loudly: "Slaughtering innocent people is an unforgivable crime. Come on, drag me down and behead me!" The general was so frightened that he cried loudly: "Grandpa, King of Han "Spare your life, the Han army will never surrender!" Yuan Feng waved his hand, and two soldiers had already come forward, dragging the man to the hill next to him like a dead dog, and raised his sword in front of everyone. , a big human head was carried on a 18-foot-long stick and displayed to the people below. Suddenly there was thunderous cheers and shouts of long live resounded through the sky. \?There are still tens of thousands of civilians at the river construction site, and the dark area is full of excited people. Yuan Feng was infected and wanted to go up to the mountain to say a few words. Liu Ying'er followed him closely and asked nervously: " Yuan Feng, what do you want to say? *She Caijun?br/> Yuan Feng stopped suddenly, turned around and looked into Liu Ying'er's eyes and asked, "How do you know? "Liu Ying'er pursed her lips and smiled proudly, and said: "It's too easy to guess this, but I advise you not to dismiss these people yet. When people's hearts are ready, it is better to continue digging the canal. " Yuan Feng said: "The people were in dire straits due to the tyranny of Emperor Zhou. The canal was one of the tyranny. I continue to build the canal. How am I different from the Emperor of Zhou? Liu Ying'er said seriously: "The fault is not the matter of digging the canal, but the people who implemented it. Building the north-south canal is a major event that benefits the country and the people. No matter who is in charge of the country, it must be built. The common people will build it for the court." The people working in the canal are corvees, who do not receive wages, and their rations are deducted by corrupt officials, so there is a lot of resentment among the people. We can abolish corvees and pay them to work, and provide food and drink. Now the people will not complain. . \" Yuan Feng said: "It makes sense, I have also considered it. But the time is not right now. It is time to use money to fight for the world. The cost of the North-South Canal is huge, and it is unaffordable even in normal times, let alone now. "Liu Ying'er smiled and said: "It's not like we ask you to repair it now. We only need to spend some money to support a hundred workers and keep the project going. When the farmers are idle, the people will be idle. As long as we give them a little If you pay some money, you will naturally come to work. " Yuan Feng suddenly realized it, and Hermione secretly marveled. Liu Ying'er is really a talented woman. The King of Han climbed up Tushan and announced that the river work would continue. The people were in an uproar. However, Yuan Feng changed his subject and announced that corvee would be abolished. River work would only be carried out during slack periods. In addition, taking care of food, housing and wages, the originally disappointed people's mood has risen from the bottom to a peak. Doing some work during the off-season to earn extra money, and taking care of food and housing, is simply a great thing. No one needs to guide the people. Like the tide, they knelt down, kowtowed, and shouted long live the mountain The Han army entered Xuzhou and occupied this thoroughfare of five provinces. The Great Zhou Dynasty was cut into two sections, and the connection between Yanzhao and Jiangnan was basically interrupted. Yuan Feng's sphere of influence was greatly expanded, and both the population and grain and mineral resources in the area under his jurisdiction were enough to compete with Jiangxi.??Contended. The capital is still a prosperous scene. It seems that war is still far away for them. The most popular topic in the capital now is the power struggle between Grand Scholar Yang and Grand Scholar Meng. \??According to the emperor's consistent approach to balance, the responsibility of staying behind was given to Yang Feng and Meng Zhiqiu at the same time. Hu Weiyong, who was older than them and had a higher official position, was in a state of semi-retirement. Both Yang Feng and Meng Zhiqiu were born in the imperial examination and were favored by the emperor. They held high positions at a young age and were extremely powerful. They were both single and unmarried men. They were very popular in the social circles of the capital and had many fans, including ladies and ladies. Everyone flocked to them, and men also bowed to their power. Normally, the two of them should cherish each other and feel like brothers, but the fact is that the two of them are completely different from each other. In the past, when the emperor was here, the two of them seemed to be getting along fine for the sake of face. After the emperor personally went on the expedition, they officially turned against each other and fought against each other with the determination of you and me, and me and you. \???Meng Yeluosheng is handsome and handsome, with a tall and tall figure, and a jade tree facing the wind. He is very generous and generous in dealing with others. He has a very high status in the hearts of all the ladies in the capital. However, because of his special status and unknown origin, he has worked in Jinyiwei and the inner factory. Therefore, many officials are very afraid of it and secretly call it the smiling tiger and the ghost who sees sorrow. There are also rumors that his title of No. 1 pick was obtained by cheating. Yang Feng was completely different. He came from a poor student background and had nothing to do with the Jinyiwei inner factory. Although in the eyes of outsiders, the emperor treated Yang Feng and Meng Yeluo equally, those who had spent their entire lives in officialdom could. From the clues, it can be seen that Yang Feng is actually the emperor's favorite, and he almost became the prince's consort. Is that a joke? \??As for Meng Yeluo, he only climbed so fast and high with the help of Eunuch Cao. The emperor was willing to promote him probably just to serve as a grindstone for Yang Feng, just like when he established the prince as a grindstone for his other sons. Knife and stone like that. After careful analysis, it is believed that Meng Yeluo's official career has come to an end. Unless Cao Eunuch dies and Meng Yeluo himself is willing to enter the palace to take over Lao Cao's position, it is possible to compete with Yang Feng. In fact, that possibility is nonexistent. After a period of training, Yang Feng is no longer the high-spirited and jealous young scholar he used to be. He has honed his skills in a high position and has a good way of dealing with people. He knows who should be wined over and who should be attacked. He has a very strong heart. He is measured and respects the unspoken rules prevalent in the officialdom. He does not interfere with people's wealth or embarrass them. \Sometimes, they help to prevent their petty officials from being caught by internal factories. Who wouldn't like such a Shangguan? Therefore, Yang Feng's connections in the officialdom are slightly better than Meng Yeluo's, but it is not that easy to bring down Meng Yeluo, who was born in an internal factory. The two of them fought openly and secretly, and I don't know how many times they fought. Once upon a time, even the cabinet was divided into two factions, ignoring each other. The official documents issued by the cabinet often contained two completely opposite contents, which made the officials below miserable. At noon that day, two bachelors accidentally bumped into each other. The cars and guards collided with each other, crowding the originally narrow road. They refused to give way to each other. The guards on both sides pushed and cursed, and then moved away. The knife struck someone, but the two bachelors sat in the sedan chair and pretended not to hear. At this time, no one can relax, otherwise their face will fall to the ground. The next day, it will definitely be known as the after-dinner pastime of the people in the capital: Yesterday, so-and-so didn't fight so-and-so. On both sides of the road, a low -level brocade guard was also holding his arms to watch the fun. He followed a short -fighting man behind him, his face was insignificant, holding the embroidered spring knife nodded, and it was clearly unable to get on the table. This Jin Yiwei is Mu Linfeng, the deputy head of the Flying Eagle Hall who used to hang out in Taihu Water Village. Since the last time he reported Zhuo Ligetu, his situation has become worse and worse, and he was almost fired by the Jin Yiwei. Fortunately, Wen Hai misses him. Thanks to his achievements, he was only downgraded to the lowest level of street patrol guards. Even the lowest-ranking Jin Yiwei has some people who fawn over him. The follower behind him is just that kind of person. He follows him like a follower, eats and drinks, shouts and drinks, and is very majestic. I heard that this guy was also a rich man in Chang'an back then. , Mu Linfeng is satisfied with having such a follower. The confrontation on the street was still escalating. Low-level officials like Mu Linfeng had no chance to join in the fun and could only watch the excitement from a distance. When he saw the famous Bachelor Yang Feng coming out of the sedan first, Mu Linfeng laughed and said : "Master Yang can't hold on anymore." The helper from behind followed: "Master Yang is very clever. His move is to retreat in order to advance. It's very clever. If Academician Meng doesn't get off the sedan chair, it will be very difficult for him to do so. You're inferior." Mu Linfeng slapped Bang Xian on the head and scolded with a smile: "After all, he is the third young master of the Fenyang Hou family.??You know the business of officialdom very well. It would be a pity not to be an official. " This helper was none other than Lu Shubao, the third young master of the Fenyang Hou Mansion who was rampant in Chang'an. Lu Shubao said with a smile: "Brother Feng is so grateful. Back then we" Before he could finish his words, he froze, his eyes glaring. Looking into the distance, Mu Linfeng followed Lu Shubao's gaze and saw that Academician Meng Yeluo had indeed come out of the sedan chair and was facing Yang Feng with a smile on his face. "What's wrong?" "Mu Linfeng pushed Lu Shubao. "This this person I know this person. "Lv Shubao stutters? !
