October is the right winter day. However, when rain comes in late autumn, it is often cold first, and the wind in early winter is often in a small spring situation.

This has been the case recently.

This is a good thing, because it can help everyone to suffer a fatal winter. In the past year, Hebei has suffered too many disasters, and winter is destined to be difficult to suffer.

Let’s talk about it, Hebei’s counties are all typical big counties, such as Bohai, Pingyuan, Qinghe, Hejian and other counties that are usually located in a general manager’s prefecture elsewhere. It is precisely because of this that the county magistrates of Hebei’s counties have always been decent people.

Moreover, because they are responsible for suppressing the former place of Dongqi, they are generally somewhat military, which is more obvious after the Three Conquests.

From this perspective, it makes sense whether it is Li Ding, a son from Guanlong who was born in the Ministry of War, who served as the prefect of Wu'an County, or Qian Tang, a member of Guanlong who was born in Jing'antai, who served as the prefect of Pingyuan. It is all right, but it is also a great fortune.

Their opportunity for taking office was that Dongdu compromised the situation in the world, the power struggle within Guanlong, and the dilemma of the Hebei rebels flying all over the sky at that time.

Li Ding did not know what to do, but Qian Tang knew that he knew that this life might be farther and farther away from the romantic pursuit he had imagined, so he cherished this career that had obviously entered a new stage.

The south wind was blowing and the sun was hanging high. More than ten miles south of Husu County, he was dressed in brocade clothes, as if he had returned to Qian Tang in the Jing'antai era, which suddenly stopped his horse, which caused more than ten cavalry guards around him to stop hastily, and then immediately surrounded Qian Taishou with a well-trained approach, and at the same time came to observe from all sides.

But there are mostly clean winter fields around, and there is only a small forest where people can hide, and there is no movement at all. This makes the guards puzzled.

"What are they doing?"

Sure enough, Qian Fujun's attention was elsewhere. His fingers were directed at those fields that had no green at all. There were some thin young girls in tattered clothes busy: "This is the time when there is still something to find in the fields?"

There were naturally smart locals among the guards, and immediately got off the horse and went into the field. After a moment, they turned around and reported: "Report to the Lord of the Mansion, they are catching field mice."

Qian Tang suddenly realized that as long as he was not able to go out and could still find food in the wild, ordinary people would always try their best to get food from the outside world and catch voles, which is one of the most common such behaviors in the countryside.

Because not only do voles store food in the cave, but also the voles themselves eat food, it is also considered a clean source of meat.

Knowing the whole story, Qian Fujun could only sigh in his heart that the world was not good and the people's livelihood was difficult, so he continued to fight on the road. However, after taking two steps, he stopped again, and then couldn't help asking again: "Don't the field mice be beaten after the autumn harvest? At that time, the cave had the most food and the rats were the fattest, right?"

The attendants around him were all heads, and the attendant who went to check in person seemed embarrassed. Qian Tang asked seriously: "Is he really a slap in the field?"

"really."

The attendant repeated helplessly, but the awkward expression on his face remained unchanged. Qian Tang saw this and knew something was wrong. He simply dismounted and came directly into the field. The attendants quickly supported the knife and followed him, so that the young men fled when they saw it.

Qian Tang was helpless and shouted from afar: "Don't be afraid, I like to eat field mice. Are there any fat people? I'll buy it more, which is enough for you to buy the same heavy pork in the city. Is it convenient for you to share the pork?"

The thin teenagers were obviously hesitant and stopped.

But when Qian Tang and his group arrived, the young man, who was the leader, had no choice but to remind him: "Uncle, there are no fat, only three or five thin ones."

"It's okay," Qian Tang walked up and took out some copper coins from his arms: "I'll take a look, I won't buy it, I'll give it to you."

Seeing the money, the leading boy finally opened a broken pocket and took the initiative to show the visitor.

Qian Fujun just looked at it and immediately understood why his confidant servant had such a expression. These teenagers were right, only three or five corpses of thin field mice, and they were not adult rats, which echoed the bodies of these thin teenagers.

Qian Tang's face turned red and he only put a handful of copper coins into a cloth bag. Then he asked seriously: "Actually, in this field, I have already caught field mice once in the autumn, right?"

"I've caught it four or five times when I say it to you." Seeing that the noble man was easy to talk to, the thin boy quickly answered.

"But you have to catch it, and it's the same in the ditch."

Qian Tang nodded, dared not ask, nor did he stay, but turned around and walked back to the road. The plain guards were slowed down for a long time, but they only stopped moving immediately.

The reason is simple. He is a smart person. He knows what this situation means. People say that it is wrong to fish in the pond. Under his rule, even the field mice have to pass four or five times, and they are almost extinct in the end. It can be seen how far people's livelihood has reached.

However, this is Plain County.

From this county name, you can know that this is a granary in Hebei.

"How could things get to this point?" Just as the trusted servants around him were hesitating whether to come and persuade him, Qian Tang finally asked with a wry smile.

The attendants looked at each other, of course they knew what their family was saying. After a while, one of them replied, "The family is mainly too messy. Even if they want to do something to relieve the people, they should defeat the thief army and discuss other things."

Qian Tang nodded, smiled hard, and then beat Ma Dong away.

In fact, how could Qian Tang, who was born in a good family and had rich experience in public security inspections, not understand what was going on?

Even if I didn't understand before, this year's career as a county magistrate is enough for him to understand what's going on

I won’t talk about the expedition of Dongyi. The three expeditions of Dongyi, which were prepared in late spring last year, were the beginning of everything. All production and public order were disrupted at that moment, followed by the rebels who flocked to the ground and the out of control after the rebels formed the power. The rebels were then joined forces between the Hejian Camp and the Youzhou Camp to sweep away the bandits and the soldiers to the comb.

The social order may have been "reorganized" by the Hejian elites, but the production has basically been scrapped, and the most fatal thing among them is the huge grain shortage caused by the two rounds of autumn harvest.

So, this returns to the most classic problem in the disaster year. What should I do if there is less food and there are many people? It is very simple. According to the usual ideas of Guanlong and Dongdu, just die some people. After the last round of autumn harvest, the official army relied on its strong combat power to make the rebel army and some ordinary people become these people.

However, the problems of the autumn harvest last year were not resolved, and this year's autumn harvest was delayed again. I don't know who should die, and how many people will die enough.

Or in other words, Qian Tang took the risk of leaving the half-encircled county town this time and ventured through the dangerous "enemy-occupied area" to the next door Bohai County, including listening to the advice of his subordinates, to solve this problem.

In this way, everyone continued to travel east and soon arrived at a manor located at the junction of Pingyuan County and Bohai County. The manor was huge and there were no edges of the walls. There were also earthen cranes and trenches outside the walls, arrows and high platforms inside. Even after entering the area of ​​about twenty miles around the park, they had already encountered inspectors and the long-awaited welcome Qian Tang, the county government minister. Although he was in a slight manner, no one dared to neglect it. In just a moment, the owner of the manor who was in his prime and the two elderly guests who arrived earlier went out to welcome him.

The owner of the manor is named Gao and called Gao Shizan. He is about thirty years old this year. The manor with such a regulation is here and is in this position. It is impossible to think about it. It must have experienced the expansion of the Eastern Qi era. Now in Hebei, the "Bohai Gao" is flooded in the north, and it looks like a powerful family in the form of Xu Shiying and Shantonghai. It can be imagined that once this person rises up, he can at least gather 3,500 people like Shantonghai.

The other two guests were not simple. One was a hero from Xindu County in the northwest. Zhuge Yang, a master of Chengdan who had long been famous. He was a great hero who had just abandoned his post from Guanlong to his hometown. However, he joined the Hejian camp with his troops and became a central general under Xue Changxiong, a major general under the Hejian camp. He can only say that under the policy of the strong and weak branches of the Great Wei Dynasty, the situation where the masters who gathered around the two capitals returned to their hometowns after the war has increased.

As for the other person, it is simple. He is the name Zhang Shiyu, the governor of Bohai County, and is also a legitimate person from a certain room in the Zhang family in Hedong.

These four people, two are prefects, and two are powerful people with cultivation or local strength. At this time, they avoid people's eyes and ears and get together at this time, so they naturally have to do great things.

Sure enough, the four of them entered and did a little etiquette and then went straight to the inner room to conspire first.

Let’s talk about it, such as the powerful people, which lacks political vision. For example, the powerful people in the east, and the western two counties naturally rose up to rebel against Wei because they collided with Zhang Xing and Li Shu; the powerful people in Qi and Lu naturally became the main force of the official army because they collided with Zhang Xuguo; while the powerful people in Dengzhou chose to rely on powerful foreign rebels and fell into inferiority. All these things were all in one go.

The powerful men in Dengzhou chose to rely on powerful foreign rebels and fell into inferiority. All these things were different.

In Hebei, because of the existence of Youzhou Camp and Hejian Camp, it is natural that the powerful men chose to cooperate with the court.

Of course, if Zhang Xing and Zhang Sanlang were here, he would definitely say that no matter who the powerful follow, it represents the collapse of the Great Wei rule, because local officials have lost control over the local area and have to seek cooperation in their main targets of suppression and prevention in peacetime, and it is very likely that a large amount of political power must be transferred to reach a deal. This time, the same is true.

That's it. With a simple trick to lure the enemy, you will attract people. The Hejian camp will have 20,000 elite troops around the back. After the matter is completed, General Xue made a statement and promised you to be a general of the Central Army." Zhuge Yang summarized this.

"This is naturally. Can't I, Gao Shizan, still be a general?" Gao Shizan responded with high spirits: "However, I remember that Zhuge also has brothers from the clan whom I know, there are no need to make a connection? Let's go along with two roads, right?"

"There is one more way and one more flaw in this kind of thing." Zhuge Yang explained helplessly: "As long as he can deceive Gao Shitong and let him drive the army easily, everything will be done. Why bother to do this?

"You have been in Xidu for a long time and have lost your call for your juniors?" Gao Shiqiu thought for a while and sneered on the spot.

"Well, I will do this! But if the matter fails, you can't blame me, because that guy Gao Shitong is also a great hero in the county, and with me, he can't tell you something."

"Koshitong will definitely fall into the trap."

The prefect of Bohai, Zhang Shiyu, was a little impatient to interrupt, which could be regarded as stopping Zhuge Yang's anger: "This guy is actually bad because he is a little clever. He knows better than anyone else that he was driven out by the gang; he knows better than anyone else that Shen Xuanzhi and the Pingyuan Army are dissatisfied with him, and he is not betrayed at this time but only cares about the gang... So, if you connect with him now with the friendship of the same clan, he will definitely be ecstatic and regard you as a reliance, so as to use this as a means to get rid of the gang."

The army in Douzigang was stronger, but before the army swept, wouldn’t it be possible to shrink into Douzigang’s salt swamp?" Gao Shizan seemed not very polite to Qian Tang: "What are you afraid of?"

"Are you really not afraid?" At this moment, Zhuge Yang suddenly interrupted and asked coldly.

After a while, Zhang Shiyu was the highest and oldest, and he said a little eased: "Okay, the state is difficult and the thief army is in chaos. I can't think of many things. Since today's plan is right, it should be implemented quickly to avoid long nights and dreams."

The other three obviously gave Zhang Shiyu a face, and they all stood up to respond. Gao Shizan even smiled: "Although all three of them came sneaking and it is difficult to hold a big banquet, but as landlords, they have to serve you as a receptionist to invite you to clean your hands. There will be a dinner party later, so it's okay to come back tomorrow morning."

There seems to be nothing to say.

The two were led into the ear room by the maid. Qian Tang couldn't bear it and took the initiative to ask: "Mr. Zhang, what's going on with these two people? It's okay if they are arrogant and rude, how can they hold guns and sticks with each other?"

"The peace in Pingyuan County is southward. You have been frustrated by military affairs these past few months. After Gao Shitong comes back, he blocked the news. So naturally I don't know that Zhuge Yang has become enemies with Gao Shizan in just a few days after he comes back." Zhang Shiyu's expression was normal: "It is said that it was a fight caused by the banquet..."

"Is anyone rude?" Qian Tang couldn't ask." It wasn't that Dou Fu Dou was angry."

Zhang Shiyu briefly introduced: "Zhuge Yang came back from Guanxi, and Gao Shiqi went to visit and celebrate. Perhaps because he had not prepared for the first time, he only killed more than a dozen chickens to entertain him. Gao Shizan laughed at the other party. As a result, Zhuge Yang did not say anything on the surface, but on the second day, he directly picked the largest one to kill the big livestock he brought back. It is said that pigs and sheep are eight feet long and the bread grid is more than one foot wide. Gao Shizan didn't say anything on the surface, but was deeply ashamed. After returning, he immediately invited the other party to come to him, not talking about chickens, ducks, fish, pigs, sheep, and cattle. It is said that in the end, he simply found a pair of twin boys, washed them and steamed them all, and divided them into human flesh."

Qian Tang was stunned. "That's not all. It is said that after Zhuge Yang went back, he invited him to serve him first, and then cooked the beautiful concubine, and ate it in front of Gao Shizan." Zhang Shiyu shook his head and said.

"It's probably this kind of statement."

"Is it true or not?" Qian Tang asked immediately after all, "What's the matter of cannibalism?"

"I guess there are some fighting wealth, and I guess there are also some fighting and killing slaves indiscriminately, but I guess there aren't people who can eat people. At least I didn't hear direct testimony. It's more like this year's famine. People around me see that they are extravagant and too harsh on the slaves and farmers, so they specially arranged it. And both of them are afraid of the gang, and it is said that it is because of this. Isn't the gang very disliked such powerful people? The gang is not good at killing slaves and fighting wealth, but the gang is not good at killing slaves and fighting wealth." Zhang Shiyu had seen the old Taoist.

Qian Tang breathed a sigh of relief, but felt that something was wrong with this kind of bastard. He was afraid of helping, but not afraid of the government?" However, this is not to say that these people cannot do such a thing. It’s just that we are still here, the saints are still here, the emperor is still here, and General Xue is still here, and they can’t act as a mighty man.

Zhang Shiyu didn't know what the other party was thinking, and then sighed again: "But if the world continues to be in chaos, no one cares about such people. They rely on force, financial power, and power to be unscrupulous, competitive, and gradually, they are afraid that any disgusting things can be done when the Southern Tang clan just went south, and a royal relative advised him to drink, and a guest would kill a maid if he didn't drink it. That's a real thing. Anyway, people's lives are cheap in troubled times, and it's not as good as a bowl of millet. And such behavior is different from eating people? It's just."

Zhang Shiyu didn't know what the other party was thinking, and Qian Tang sighed, but shook his head: "We can join forces with such people, and this situation will be resolved. I'm afraid that there will be a lot of us in the future."

Zhang Shiyu laughed, as if he wanted to say something else.

And at this moment, a maid suddenly brought basins, racks, towels and other things, and brand new clothes, and the two of them immediately stopped.

Then, he was stunned and sighed, "But if the world continues to be in chaos, no one cares about such people. They rely on their force, financial power, and power to be unscrupulous, competitive, and gradually, they are afraid that any disgusting things can be done when the Southern Tang clan just went south, and a royal relative advised him to drink, and a guest would kill a maid if he didn't drink it. That's a real thing. Anyway, people's lives are cheap in troubled times, and it's not as good as a bowl of millet. And that kind of behavior is different from eating people?"

Because the basin that the maid brought in was milky white milk soup, and the milk smell was clearly smelly.

"What is this?" Qian Tang felt dizzy.

"Is it human milk?" Zhang Shizhi was very knowledgeable and immediately said it.

The maids immediately nodded carefully, and then they came up together to hold hands for the two county monarchs.

"Did you drink human milk?" Qian Tang was extremely careful.
To be continued...
