Wei and Jin cooks

When everyone heard this, they knelt down and kowtowed, "Greetings to Ambassador Zhao."

Zhao Hanzhang raised his hand to ask everyone to stand up, and looked carefully at the escaped Luoyang people. They were in ragged clothes, with sallow faces and numb expressions.

Also, some people with assets either escaped on their own or followed the King of East China Sea, so how could they stay in Luoyang?

What is left behind cannot be left.

Zhao Hanzhang sighed and said to everyone: "Spring is here. The so-called plan for a year lies in spring. No matter how difficult it is, don't forget to cultivate. I will encircle a piece of land for you to cultivate and give you grain seeds. This year's harvest will be harvested by the court." I won’t take any money from it, just use it to help you settle down your family.”

Everyone's expressions changed a bit, but they still looked at her silently. Zhao Hanzhang said: "I will give you some relief food, but how to live in the future depends on you."

Zhao Hanzhang said: "The consuls you selected should come to see me, and I will have someone take you to the enclosure."

The land that Zhao Hanzhang enclosed for them is about thirty miles outside the city. There is water there and the terrain is open. It used to be a fertile farmland, but now there is a lot of weeds growing there.

The people who were brought here were very worried. There was a middle-aged man who knew better and couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, this, this is the prince's land."

Zhao Hanzhang: "Which prince does it belong to?"

"I don't know. Anyway, this piece of land and that piece of land belong to the prince and Taiwei Wang's family."

Zhao Hanzhang said without changing his expression: "It's all mine now. I'll farm it for you, so you can farm it with peace of mind."

Everyone looked at each other and saw that she was sure, thinking that Zhao Hanzhang had bought all the land.

Then if they farm the land for her, aren’t they her slaves or tenants?

Among them, those who had a decent family background hesitated for a moment, but thought that life was difficult now and being a good citizen might not be better than being a slave, so they agreed.

Not to mention other people, they were very grateful that Zhao Jiajun could bring them out of Luoyang and provide relief to them. Now he gave them seeds to cultivate. In their eyes, this was a gift of reinvention.

Not to mention just asking them to farm for her, even if she asked them to work hard, they would think about it.

"Now that it's decided, you go ahead and choose the land. You can choose this piece of land, weed it, plow it, and prepare for sowing."

Everyone responded in unison.

Just when Zhao Hanzhang was rehabilitating the people with injuries, Liu Cong, who was confronting Zhao Erlang in the city, finally received some news.

"Are you saying that Wang Mi and Zhao Hanzhang secretly contacted each other and wanted to rebel against our country of Han and defect to the country of Jin?"

Liu Yao said bitterly: "Yes, the general's people have seen them secretly going back and forth several times. There is no mistake."

Liu Cong sneered and said: "Do you think it is possible that Wang Mi was born in a noble family, but he joined the bandits and killed so many Han Jin soldiers? Would the Jin people be willing to accept him?"

"No one can die in a war. Aren't the hands of King Gou Xi of the East China Sea also stained with blood?"

"How about that?" Liu Cong said: "Wang Mi has such a bad reputation, I don't believe that the noble families of Jin can accept him."

"But I finally heard that Zhao Hanzhang is willing to marry Wang Mi just to save Emperor Jin."

Liu Cong's face darkened, his eyes flashing coldly, "She is willing to do it for Emperor Jin."

Liu Cong was already very dissatisfied with Wang Mi, so he couldn't help but feel murderous at this moment, "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure, this is the news that came from Wang Mi's account. I heard that it was Wang Mi's request."

Liu Cong couldn't help but spin around, "It's a good plan. He has a bad reputation, but Zhao Hanzhang has an excellent reputation among the people. If he can marry Zhao Hanzhang, he will not only get a Yuzhou and Zhao family army for free, but also use her to wash away his reputation." What a stain, he wants to be the king of the East China Sea and hold the emperor hostage to command the princes."

Liu Yao always remembered that Wang Mi invaded Luoyang before him, so he tried his best to provoke him, "I'm afraid he is not to be the King of East China Sea, but to be Cao Mengde."

Liu Cong suddenly became murderous.

But now during the war, how to kill?

Liu Yao suggested, "General, he has 30,000 troops here, and there is a powerful enemy like Zhao Hanzhang. Trapping is obviously impossible. How about we withdraw from Luoyang and burn Luoyang and the palace together with a fire. Emperor Jin will definitely die in the palace." Undoubtedly, if Wang Mi wants to be a minister of the Jin Dynasty, he will definitely save the Jin Emperor. When the time comes, we will stay outside the city and wait for work, won't we kill three birds with one stone?"

Liu Cong frowned, shook his head and said, "That's not right. Luoyang is a big city, and my father still wants to move the capital to Luoyang. How can such a magnificent palace be burned down?"

However, Liu Yao felt that Luoyang was very unlucky and advised: "Since the Jin Dynasty established its capital in Luoyang, it has suffered so many wars. It is really unlucky to move the capital to this point."

He felt that keeping this city would not only give the Jin people delusions, but also make the Han scholar-bureaucrats want to resist the Han Dynasty.

So he said: "Destroying a city is like destroying a country. Let it turn into ashes, and the Jin Dynasty will also be wiped out."

Liu Cong pondered.

"General, this is the most labor-saving method. Otherwise, once Wang Mi and Zhao Hanzhang reach cooperation, let alone attack the palace, we will not even be able to save our lives!"

Liu Cong thought for a long time and could not make up his mind, but soon soldiers from outside the city came back to report, "General, our army outside the city was attacked by the Yuzhou army. Zhang Changshi managed to escape, taking only more than three thousand people with him." people."

Liu Cong stood up in shock and fear, "You said there are only 3,000 of us left out of 10,000?"

"yes!"

"How did he lead the army, wait for work, and still be beaten like this by Zhao Hanzhang?"

"Zhao Hanzhang sent out generals Bei Gongchun and Xun Xiu to attack from both sides, and sent out troops so quickly that Zhang Changshi couldn't react at all."

When Liu Cong heard that it was Bei Gongchun, he couldn't help but grit his teeth, "Isn't Bei Gongchun in the northern suburbs of the city? When did he move to the east of the city?"

"The scouts did not do a good job in the investigation. I ask the general to convict him."

Liu Cong asked with an ugly face: "Did Wang Mi send troops to help?"

"No, there was no movement at all from the 20,000 people General Wang hid in the suburbs."

Liu Cong finally gritted his teeth, his face turned cold, "Okay, okay, okay, Liu Yao!"

"The general is here!"

"Go prepare tung oil and firewood."

"Wei!" Liu Yao took two steps back. When he reached the street, he sneered at the houses opposite.

Wang Mi also received the scout's report at this time, and he stood up at once, "What, Zhao Hanzhang defeated Liu Cong's army outside the city?"

"Yes, the scouts didn't dare to get too close, but it was indeed the Yuzhou Army and Bei Gongchun's Xiliang Army."

Wang Mi instantly understood Zhao Hanzhang's plan, and his teeth itched with hatred, "She is forcing me!"

He sneered and said: "She forces me, do I have to submit? She, Zhao Hanzhang, underestimates me too much."

Wang Mi became rebellious and said with a cold face: "I will not surrender to the Jin Kingdom."

"General, why bother with her, as long as we can control Emperor Jin."

Wang Mi reluctantly suppressed the anger in his heart and had to arrange it, "Send someone to pay attention to Liu Cong and Liu Yao's movements, make preparations, and find a reason to invite Liu Cong and Liu Yao to come over for drinking. When the time comes..."
