Along the way.
Huang Zhong constantly sent scouts to check the villages along the way. Some of the villages were deserted, while others were left with only the elderly, women, and children.
According to the scouts, their young strongmen were all recruited by Wang Qiu to join the army and died on the battlefield. Their family's food was also plundered by Wang Qiu's army.
This time.
Huang Zhong completely believed that the people of Bingzhou were living in dire straits. Not only were they being attacked by foreign races, but they were also being exploited by the local officials.
At the same time, Huang Zhong completely understood what Liu Qing had said to Xun You. Those who do not respect the orders of the provincial governor will be beheaded with the power of false festival and axe. If the Wang family of Taiyuan bullies the people, they will be implicated together.
The Mi family, a business family, had ten thousand customers and ten million five baht.
Taiyuan's Wang family had Wang Yun and Wang Qiu backing them. How could they not have the money and food to fight the war? It was not the emperor who wanted to destroy the Han Dynasty, but the aristocrats who wanted to destroy the Han Dynasty.
After ten days.
Liu Qing and his group arrived at Yanmen County.
Although the local grain harvest in Yanmen was not considered a bumper harvest, it could be seen that the people here were not invaded by foreign races and were not exploited by bureaucrats.
"The two counties are less than two hundred miles apart, but there's such a stark contrast!”Huang Zhong gasped.
Liu Qi said in a deep voice," There are no more than 50,000 households in the three counties of Bingzhou. All of them are ranked. Not to mention that there is still the Wang family in Taiyuan County. Even if those people escape, they won't be able to escape!”
"Old man, do you know where the governor of Yanmen is now?”Liu Qing asked the farmer who was almost sixty years old while leading his horse.
The farmer looked at Liu Qing warily and asked,""Who are you? Why are you looking for our prefect?”
"The new governor of Bing Province, General of the North, Liu Qing!”Liu Qing explained.
"You are the new provincial governor?"
The farmer relaxed his vigilance. He pointed at the Northern Battlefront Army behind Liu Qing and a black flag with red characters on it and asked,""You only brought this little army?"
"Haha!"
Liu Qing suddenly burst into laughter." I didn't expect the mighty Governor of Yanmen to come here to protect the fertile fields. Ye Wang, oh Ye Wang, the Governor has done something like you. You're considered unique!"”
"I, Ye Shixian, pay my respects to the Provincial Governor!”Ye Wang smiled helplessly and bowed.
"Are you here to wait for me?" Liu Qing nodded slightly.”
"Yes, sir!"
"The eldest son has sent a message. Zhang Yang is dead. The new provincial governor, Liu Qing, has taken over the military power. He has established the city protection office, the northern army headquarters, and divided the five armies.”Ye Wang said respectfully.
Liu Qing thought highly of Ye Wang. He knew what it meant to be wise and protect himself. He asked,"How many soldiers does your Yanmen Sect have?"
"50,000 troops and 30,000 households of civilians are all soldiers who have been through hundreds of battles gathered from the fallen counties. That's why I can defend Yanmen!”Ye Wang said respectfully.
"How's the battle?"
Liu Qing muttered in his heart. Ye Wang must have sensed something, which was why he hid the fact that he had gathered the people and soldiers from the various counties.
Ye Wang's heart sank and he said with a solemn expression,""Tadun is forming a cavalry to plunder the autumn harvest of Yanmen. The same goes for the Xianbei Kirbineng. I'm afraid there will be a big battle soon!”
"Okay, let's go to the county first!" Liu Qing nodded.
"Yes!"
Ye Wang bowed slightly and then drove the ox cart to lead the way for Liu Qing and the others.
In less than two days, the army arrived at the Yin Hall.
At this moment, everyone in and out of Yin Mansion was on high alert, as if a war would break out at any moment.
"The outsiders have already begun to act?”Liu Qing was puzzled.
"No!" Ye Wang shook his head and sighed." It's all just preparations. Do you want to rest first, sir, or are you going to the prefect's office to summon the officials of Yanmen?"”
"Let's meet!" Liu Qing waved his hand. Although he was a little tired after marching for so many days, he did not need to rest now.
"Young Master, bring the Bei Wei Army!" Liu Qi whispered into Liu Qing's ear.
Liu Qing shook his head." Liu Qi, arrange for the army to set up camp. Han Sheng, follow me to meet the officials and soldiers of Yanmen!"”
"Yes!"
Huang Zhong took out a quiver of arrows from the deputy general beside him. He carried a longbow on his back and a battle saber as he followed behind Liu Qing.
They entered the Yin Mansion.
At this moment, there were no more residents in Yin Mansion. All of them were soldiers and warhorses. Everyone looked at Liu Qing and Huang Zhong curiously, as if they were asking who they were that Ye Wang would follow them personally.
" The soldiers don't know that you've taken over," Ye Wang explained." You should know the seriousness of the matter if you change generals during wartime!"”
"Yes!"
Liu Qing took off his golden spear and threw it to Huang Zhong. He said in a deep voice,""This Provincial Governor is looking for three people: Lu Bu of Jiuyuan, Gao Shun of Shuofang, and Zhang Liao of Yanmen.”
"Milord, may I know how these three people have offended you?”Ye Wang's heart was clenched tightly.
"Governor Ye!"
Liu Qing held onto the sword at his waist and suddenly stopped. His eyes fell on Ye Wang like a blade and he said lightly,""Summon the three of them and gather the officials of Yanmen to inform them of the change in military power and political power in Bing Province. Then, hand over the military power to Huang Zhong!”
"Milord, the war is ahead, it is not appropriate to change generals at the last minute!”Ye Wang was not afraid at all and looked straight at him.
