Chapter 68 Severe Situation
Compared with the whole of Youzhou, Xiangping City can be said to be a fairly large county seat, but the dilapidated city wall in front of you makes people feel very emotional, and everyone's mood is different.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, the people suffered a lot, especially in the border areas. The Qiang, Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Wuheng never stopped harassing.Along the way, the walls of many county towns were dilapidated, and the traces of Xianbei's invasion were vividly visible. After a long time, Huo Yu sighed: "The prosperity of the people is suffering, and the death of the people is suffering."

Looking at the dignified expressions of the crowd, Huo Yu rode out, looked around, and then raised his gun with his right hand and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, I will travel a long way to get here, and everyone has seen the scene before me. But frustrated?"

All the soldiers, you look at me, I look at you, no one dares to step forward to answer.At the moment, Guo Jia looked nonchalant. Seeing that Zhang Fei was about to make a noise, he immediately waved his hand to stop him.Perhaps the white dragon horse sensed its master's fighting spirit, and kept stepping on the ground with its forelegs.Huo Yu tried his best to control Bai Longju and then said loudly: "Who made such a scene?"

Everyone was silent again, however, a voice broke the silence, "My lord, it's Xianbei." The one who spoke was none other than Wang Jun, whom Huo Yu had just recruited.

"Xianbei entered last year, destroyed several cities in Liaodong, and slaughtered countless people. The former prefect abandoned the city and fled. If Liu Duwei had not led the people to resist, Liaodong might have been lost."

Huo Yu nodded in satisfaction to Wang Jun, tried his best to comfort Bai Longju and said: "Xianbei invaded and slaughtered my people like pigs and dogs! They plundered my women and children and made them slaves for generations! Why did we come here? To protect the environment Anmin, for the century-old foundation of our Han family, for the eternal existence of our people, and the sons of the Han family will never be slaves! In Yu's lifetime, I would like to lead the army to wipe out the barbarians and protect our great Han country, do you agree?"

"I would like to follow the lord (general) to wipe out the barbarians!"

"I would like to follow the lord (general) to wipe out the barbarians!"

The shouts were earth-shattering and rushed straight into the sky!All the people present were excited, Huo Yu could no longer appease Bai Longju, and simply ran along the team. After a while, Huo Yu raised his gun and shouted: "Sweep the barbarians, the Han will not be slaves!".

The voice of answer turned sideways to the sky, and even the yellow turban captives who followed were inspired to raise their hands and roar!

"The military spirit is available!" Xun You said to himself naturally.

"Gongda is right, everyone is focused on making money." Xi Zhicai added.

"In the past, I listened to the lord's words, and the lord fooled Wang Yue. Today, I watched it. The lord's tricks are very good!"

Hahahaha, everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this.The originally low morale was pulled down to the peak by Huo Yu's actions. After running back and forth twice, the white dragon horse slowed down and carried Huo Yu to Xiangping City.

Such a large formation has already alarmed the defenders in the city. If they hadn't seen the banner of the Han army, the city gate would have been closed already.As soon as Liu Ji and his guards caught up with Huo Yu, they saw a group of cavalry coming out of the city. The leader was fair-faced, not like a martial arts practitioner.

"Dare to ask, but the general Pingbei, the governor of Liaodong, and the Marquis of Xiangpingting are in person?" the leader asked loudly.

Huo Yu signaled Liu Ji not to be so nervous, rode his horse forward and took out the imperial edict from his chest, and replied: "Yu is His Majesty's personal appointment as the prefect of Liaodong, here is the imperial edict."

A personal guard got off his horse, took the edict with both hands and handed it over.After the leader on the opposite side read the edict, he immediately dismounted from his horse and said: "My officer Liu Zheng, Lieutenant of Xiangping City, Liaodong County, pays a visit to the prefect. It is his duty to check the edict. Please forgive me, my lord."

"Hahaha, how could Yu blame Liu Duwei for his dedication to his duties, please get up quickly!" Huo Yu got off his horse and helped Liu Zheng to speak again: "Yu first came here, and in the future he will rely on Liu Duwei. After the advanced city is settled, we can discuss other things."

Liu Zheng agreed, and then ordered people to go to the city to prepare for the resettlement, and he himself followed Huo Yu as a guide, and told him everything he knew.

After listening to Liu Zheng's introduction, Huo Yu frowned. Liaodong currently has slightly more people in counties near the sea, and the counties in the north are almost empty.In Xiangping City, there are a few people who don't want to leave. For Huo Yu, who is used to watching the bustle in Chen Guo, he couldn't get used to it all at once, because there are too few people in the city.However, the advantage of fewer people and fewer people is that most of the vacant houses can be used to temporarily accommodate the more than [-] people, which saves a lot of trouble.

When he came to the prefect's mansion, Huo Yu received the prefect's seal and ordered Xun You to inspect the treasury. He was still very satisfied with Liu Zheng.Although there is not much left in the entire Xiangping government treasury, it is more than enough for the sparsely populated county.

As the saying goes, there are three fires for a new official to take office. Huo Yu has already made up his mind. At the end of the Han Dynasty, the most indispensable thing at this time is corrupt officials and powerful officials. Huo Yu believes that this Xiangping official is also included. All the civil servants have already fled.The fire that had been brewing for a long time did not start.

After everything was settled in the prefect's mansion, Huo Yu ordered everyone to go to rest, and sat quietly in his study, thinking about Liu Zheng's introduction carefully.Compared with other counties in Youzhou, the population of Liaodong in the entire Liaodong is now pitifully small. There are only 8 people in eleven counties under its jurisdiction, with an average of less than 1 people in each county. There are more than 1 people, and it cannot be compared with Chen County.

And now there are no great families in Xiangping, many families have already moved in, and the others are some inconspicuous merchants. Huo Yu calmed down a little, and carefully recalled the memories of his previous life in his mind. The name is very strange, and it seems that there is no record in history.

Gongsundu?Wait, if you remember correctly, it is recorded in the history that Gongsun Du will take office in 189, so he is probably still an official in Xuantu County at this moment!Liaodong, Liaodong, where are the heroes?Bing Yuan?Tai Shici?Huh!These two seem to have protected a man named Liu Zheng, so it seems that they discovered a talent buried in history.Thinking of this place, Huo Yu's mood is wide open, since he came, he will be at ease, and everything is currently developing in a favorable direction.

Back in the backyard, Huo Yu found that Yu'er and Zhang Ning had already rested. After such a long journey, the two of them lost weight a lot, and felt guilty immediately, so they could only take it to make up for them in the future!
I had nothing to say all night, and the next day I knew that Huo Yu had just woken up at noon. Although Huo Yu's body was very strong, he couldn't withstand such a long journey.After eating, Huo Yu asked his personal guards to notify everyone to come and discuss matters.There are many things to be dealt with at the beginning of taking office, and everyone's official positions should be finalized. In addition, the cold winter is approaching, so we must take a comprehensive countermeasure.Among the people who followed Huo Yu to Liaodong, only a few were from Youzhou, so how to keep warm for the winter was the first problem to be solved at the moment.
