Royal Road

Ge Hong's Taoist Temple finally settled on a remote mountain in the west of the city. First, two huts were set up hastily as temporary living places, and the others were gradually expanded in the future. This is also helpless. The confidentiality level of gunpowder can be far better than other projects. It is not easy to find a place with a large area and sparsely populated area, where it is not easy to hear movement, and to ensure safety.

Ge Hong did not dislike it. After the house was built, he moved in and started his own R&D task. Liang Feng also selected three clever children from Liang Mansion, who had learned arithmetic and thousand-character essays, and sent them to Taoist Temple to help Ge Hong make alchemy. In fact, even if Ge Hong didn't want people, Liang Feng would find a way to put a few in, and finally inspire people to study chemistry. Isn't it a waste of not having a few apprentices?

Most officials and even aristocratic families didn't care much about the sudden whimsical construction of Taoism by the new prefect. There are countless scholars who are keen on alchemy. Many people still have alchemy rooms in their homes, and they are self-proclaimed alchemy. The monarch liked Buddhism, which was a headache. Now that he has changed alchemy, he can have more topics. Who cares about this little Taoist temple?

And compared to this matter, there are more important things that worry them.

"Fujun, there are two more distinguished families packing up their bags and preparing to move out of Bingzhou." Cui Ji came to report immediately when he got the news.

He is different from other county officials in that he is a native of Lucheng, and he is more familiar with the prominent families nearby. Over the past month, several companies have packed up one after another, and their families have left the Shangdang. It was indeed Liu Yuan's uprising, and news of the chaos of the five Huns gradually spread. No one can guarantee that Binzhou will be safe and sound. Who has few relatives and few villas, why stay here and wait for the disaster to come.

"Let them go if you want to go." Liang Feng didn't care. It is also a good thing for these fugitives to leave early, and it is better than to flee in a panic when the chaos comes, and to disturb the military's morale.

Cui Ji nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "There is news from Lishi that Liu Yuanhai wants to make his family ancestor a doctor. The family ancestor is not good enough."

Cui Ji's ability to say this proves that the Cui family is still on his side. Liang Feng couldn't help but sit up straight: "Mr. Cui understands righteousness. Liu Yuan is rebellious against the court and can't take it lightly."

You must know that Doctor Yushi was one of the three males in Han Dynasty and wanted to make his teacher the three males. It seems that Liu Yuan is about to become the emperor!

Cui Ji sighed slightly: "Bingzhou Gaomen, not everyone is like this."

This is also the status quo today. The world has been in chaos for more than ten years. Seeing that the imperial court is in constant chaos, there are people all over the country conspiring to claim the king, and the local wealthy people have begun to think. If you can choose a hero in the troubled times, the whole family will rise with it. Not to mention the poor, even some high-ranking ones are ready to move.

Just like the guard of the county guard, he was formerly the general of Zhengbei, who was the general of Yamen. The Tuoba clan of Xianbei near the descendant county became strong, so he joined the Tuoba clan with his family and recruited many Jins to work for him. Xianbei was only a vassal of the Jin Dynasty, and even so, not to mention the Xiongnu's great power. It is by no means a minority who want to take advantage of the troubled times to be extremely humane!

Liang Feng frowned. This kind of behavior that later generations would call a "traitor" was extremely common at the time. Only because of the conflict between the heroes in the last century of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Western Jin Dynasty, aristocratic families have long developed the habit of waiting for a price. Even if the Sima clan achieves unification, it is unable to strengthen the centralization. On the contrary, it greatly pleases these local emperors, which makes the clansmen and the countless countries closed. Under such circumstances, family interests will naturally be higher than national interests.

Regardless of whether it is the Huns or Xianbei, there are officials bestowed by the court. Taking refuge in them is not much different from taking refuge in the governors and county princes. Not to mention that there are still poor families who are suppressed by the Ninth-Rank Zhongzheng who can't stand up. How can they miss such a great opportunity to rise?

This is nothing short of dangerous.

"It's only a minority of Dongying Gong who will vote for the Huns." Liang Feng finally said.

Although the world is chaotic now, the court is Zheng Shuo after all. Speculators have to weigh the situation before they can bet. In a short period of time, the state of the Union should not be too bad.

"What the monarch said is quite true. But the monarch should also win over the nobles, don't let others take advantage of it." Cui Ji said in advance.

In his opinion, this mansion is good everywhere. After he took office, he settled in the civil affairs and used the virtuous. It was also reported that the counties had strengthened their vigilance and gathered food to prepare for military disasters. All aspects were considered. The only thing is that he is too negligent towards the family.

In order to ensure the stability of the county, it is not incomprehensible to not use those big clan children for the time being. But the daily banquets, gatherings and entertainment, should never be less. Before the Chongyang Ascent Day on September 9th, the Prefect’s Mansion had never hosted a banquet for the scholars, and it was a bit improper.

How could Liang Feng not understand the meaning of Cui Ji's words. China’s wine table culture has a long history, and if you don’t get together to eat and drink often, how can you close the relationship? But now the Shangdang situation is so dangerous that he is really not in the mood to drink and have fun with others.

After thinking for a moment, he finally said: "Then let's have a banquet at the Sushui Pavilion in the future. Let me, the new prefect, also meet several gentry in Lucheng."

It is also funny. After Sima Ying took the emperor and fled back to Luoyang, she did not reprimand Sima Teng, who had defeated her general, but instead added officers to him and was promoted from General Ningbei to General Anbei. Expecting his mind to guard Binzhou is clear. Thanks to this, Liang Feng's growth and inauguration were also smoothly approved, and he is now the prefect officially appointed by the imperial court.

Hearing what Liang Feng said, Cui Ji couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He wasn't worried about the new manor's ability in political affairs, but he was afraid that he would be too eclectic in employing people and would treat the family slowly. It should be noted that even Wei Wuzhi is strong and does not have to compromise on the family. If you blindly seek talents and offend those rich and powerful, it may cause problems instead. The way of balance is always an important task for the government, how can it be neglected?

It is also because there are not many high-ranking members in the upper party, and they have suffered repeated military disasters to make such a mess. If it were to be replaced by Taiyuan, I am afraid that the government decrees of the emperor would no longer be able to leave the lobby.

Cui Ji's thoughts are not incomplete. However, the feast of tracing the water did not take place, because a battle report was handed over to Liang Feng's desk.

The Xiongnu lightly rides five thousand, approaching Lucheng!

"The enemy army has passed Tunliu and will be able to reach Lucheng tomorrow." Liang Feng said to the people around him with a gloomy expression.

The enemy came too fast. Thousands of Qingqi, even the grain and grass, were carried with them, and they were able to drive straight in in an instant. Thanks to Liang Feng's preparations, the sentry placed in Tunliu managed to grab this day's time. Otherwise, the enemy cavalry will come directly under the city, not to mention the defense, I am afraid that there will be not enough time to close the city gate.

But even if you know the enemy's situation now? There is no time to transfer troops from Huguan, but these soldiers in the city are barely enough to hold on to the city's head!

"Why did Liu Yuanhai attack Lucheng first?" Duan Qin's eyebrows were locked tightly, puzzled. Now is the critical moment when the Huns are preparing to become emperor, how can they deploy these five thousand elite soldiers to attack the Shangdang? Even if Duke Dongying didn't react in time, he would send troops to encircle him. Isn't this kind of partial division superfluous?

Or is it that the other party is going to rob in the Shangdang territory and add some trouble to Dongying Gong?

"Perhaps Liu Yuanhai feels that Lucheng has just been in chaos and there is an opportunity to take advantage of it." Cui Ji understands other people's thoughts better than Duan Qin. There is no way, except for the Liang Fujun in front of him, no one can put together the iron plate that Lucheng manages in just one month.

"No matter what he wants, Lucheng and the surrounding roads must not be lost!" Liang Feng said coldly, "Immediately notify the nearby counties and reject the enemy behind closed doors. However, thousands of cavalry cannot conquer the strong city for a while. ."

If it comes to 20,000, maybe he will have to worry a little bit more. But a few thousand, wanting to bite off Lucheng in his hand, I am afraid it is too whimsical!

"Subordinates can go to Huguan to deploy troops..." Yi Yan couldn't help but said.

"No! Let General Linghu stay at Huguan, and don't go out of the city to fight at will!" This is not an elite of the Liang Family, even if Liang Feng trusts Yi Yan, he dare not let him bring a group of Jin troops to fight the Xiongnu Iron Hoof.

If the Huguan is missing, Lucheng is really dangerous.

Yi Yan couldn't help gritting his teeth. How could he not know that the soldiers in Linghu Kuang's hand could not rely on. But the enemy is right in front of you, shouldn't it be allowed to attack the city?

"Don't mess around with yourself. Look at the enemy's intentions first, and then make plans."

With Liang Feng's order, Lucheng entered a state of alert.

※

"General, Lucheng is closed!" The sentry sent back the latest news.

It was Liu Wei, Liu Xuan's confidant, who led five thousand riders to the party this time. This man rides and shoots Wushuang, calm and degree, and even more rare is quite a bit of strategy. Because of this, Liu Xuan entrusted him with the task of conquering Lucheng.

Who expected to enter the Shangdang territory, Liu Wei immediately discovered that the situation was not right. All cities along the way are prepared for war. Not only is there no team to transport autumn grains on the road, even farmers are extremely rare. In such a situation, there is nowhere to be robbed even if plundered. Liu Wei gave up other large and small cities and approached Lucheng, the Shangdang prefecture.

Therefore, he was not surprised to hear the news of the closure of Lucheng. This kid surnamed Liang obviously caught the turtle's attention. I'm afraid I want to wait for Dongying's public assistance.

He couldn't let the other party succeed so easily.

"Separate two thousand horses and lie in ambush on the main road from Huguan to Lucheng. Then send someone to deliver a letter to Lucheng, saying that our soldiers and horses just want to use Baixing to go to Luoyang to help the king of Chengdu. Let. The prefect will let it go. If not, I will attack Lucheng with my troops!"

As long as this news reaches Lucheng, it will surely cause chaos in the city. At this time, he attacked Lucheng again, which would make the group of cowardly members panic. If you want to hold Lucheng, you must send troops from Huguan to rescue. At that time, he will use the partial division ambushing to destroy the reinforcements and occupy Huguan, and his mission will be more than half completed. The rest is easy to say.

He had to see what kind of role it was that would make his good brother go away!

The author has something to say: Wei Cao can be said to be a key figure in helping Tuoba become emperor. If it were not for him to act as a supplementary officer, to be in charge of state affairs, and to recruit the Shanxi people, I am afraid that the Xianbei Tuoba clan would be as obliterated in history as the Xianbei Duan clan. Later, in the biography of "Wei Shu", he ranked first.

So at that time it was really the Hu people holding the army and the Han people in charge. Whoever had a good national policy in the five Hus was the only one who was able to stand firm.
