The earliest prefecture in Xuzhou was in Pengcheng, which was the capital of Xiang Yu that Liu Bang led 600,000 vassals to capture the capital of Xiang Yu in one fell swoop. However, a few years ago, Cao Song, the father of General Cao, fled, was attacked and killed by the subordinates of the governor of Xuzhou Tao Qian. The angry general Cao raised his butcher knife and started a massacre, massacring the 100,000 people of Xuzhou. After the war disaster, all industries in Pengcheng died. After Lu Bu took over, he moved the prefecture to Xiapi City, which was relatively far away from Cao Cao's territory.

Later generations were the coastal people who lived well, but now they are similar, with the benefits of fish and salt. Moreover, compared with the Central Plains where the four battles were in the four battles, the war did not affect the hinterland of Xuzhou. Compared with Boss Cao's territory, the population here is much denser.

However, under the rule of the famous general Lu, the people of Xuzhou were much more difficult than the people of Yanzhou. Although the fields were both millet and wheat, they were prosperous, but in the villages and towns where Wang Hou passed, the people of Xuzhou they saw were all dressed in dishes and their clothes were torn.

Of course, this is not all Lu Bu’s fault, but the overall social environment.

With more than 200 years of development, the aristocratic families relied on clan forces to merge the land to the extreme. The land in the entire county town and village belonged to several families, and the remaining 80% to 90% of the population had to rely on them to become tenant serfs. In this case, the huge Han Empire was everywhere. The social wealth uneven situation that was calmed by the Green Forest and Red Eyebrow Uprising in the early Han Dynasty was restored to its original state, and the self-cultivated farming class created almost completely destroyed. The gentry who lacked checks and balances were extremely extravagant and levyed, and the common people were exploited to be poor and poor. After eating this meal, there was no next meal.

Looking at the troubled times of the Han Dynasty, the one who was the best for the people was not Cao Cao or Liu Bei. Instead, he was indecisive and laughed at the world.

After Liu Bei called himself a royal family, the surname Liu of the Han Dynasty was already in a mess. He had to make a living by selling straw sandals in his early years. He was a completely poor family. In order to make up for his background, he had to be humble to the aristocratic families in exchange for support. He ended up as a polite and nobleman and benevolent and righteous person, but it is conceivable how much he can pay attention to the demands of the people under his governance.

On the contrary, Yuan's family has four generations and three dukes, and Yuan Shao himself is also among the third dukes. He is the best in the family of nobles and nobles, and he looks down on the aristocratic families with a lower status than himself. The title of the fourth generations and three dukes does not require Yuan Shao to recruit. The children of the aristocratic families have already come to vote, so Yuan Shao can clean up a large number of fields and frivolously in Hebei, but he is still greedy to recruit the aristocratic families who harm the people.

However, it was precisely because of this reason that Yuan Shao was arrogant and did not listen to others' words. In the end, he was defeated by Guandu for his lifetime. As the saying goes, success is Xiao He and failure is Xiao He.

As for Xuzhou at this time, the Yellow Turban Uprising did not affect it much, and the melee in the Central Plains did not spread to the heart of Xuzhou for the time being. The local aristocratic families did not yet suffer the pain of the Central Plains landlords, so they were more unscrupulous in plundering the people.

The dilapidated Eastern Han pipeline bypassed the withered Pengcheng and continued to march east along the Si River. Just as Wang Hou was watching the prosperous and poor unique to the late Han Dynasty with interest, the heavy footsteps suddenly came on the road. Then the dust on the east horizon was flying, and heavy footsteps came densely. A few minutes later, the brigade of army and horses came fiercely from the horizon and blocked the avenue.

Half of Xuzhou had already left, and the men under Lu Dada came to show off their appearance late.

The reason why the army and horses are said to be called "army" is because the army is composed of infantry and cavalry, and there are not many cavalry, only about three or four hundred, and the infantry accounts for the vast majority, at least thousands. These guys rushed into the wheat fields and millet fields on both sides of the road without caring, and trampled down the crops that were about to mature. The farmers in the village were still busy harvesting in the fields, but suddenly they saw the army entering the country, and immediately ran away in panic as if they were hiding from the plague.

In the cavalry camp, a large flag with a singular character was swept in the wind. Surrounded by the cavalry, there were a young general carrying a spear with a narrow and long sharp blade. These cavalry should be the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry under Lu Bu, because their outfits were quite different from those of the Central Plains cavalry. They were covered with leather armor with nails and felt hats on their heads. The weather was not cool, but the collars of these guys were still fur-like, and some were even just faces of alien races.

As for those infantry, they probably inherited the Danyang soldiers under Tao Qian's command. However, according to their names, the equipment of these infantry is not so outstanding. Some are wearing old leather armor, while others are simply wearing green cloth clothes. They are holding broken halberds that look more than one meter long, and their formation is slightly messy, but their careless expressions give people a sense of toughness.

The big gun pointed at Wang Hou's head, and the cavalry general with a slightly curled beard was full of serious faces and roared like a leopard: "Is Zhang Wenyuan, a certain family in Yanmen? Who are you? Why did you break into the territory of Xuzhou!"

If you don't want to be afraid, it's fake. Thousands of people are holding guys to block themselves in a sensational manner. There is a tendency to chop off their dog heads as chamber pots. The guy named Zhang looked loud and his ears were buzzing. Even the little sissy showed a little timid. His hand holding the hilt on the hilt of the knife around his waist was trembling slightly. However, when he forced a breath, Wang Hou put his trembling hands behind his back, his chest straightened, and shouted loudly with calm and stiffness.

"I am the descendant of the Wang family of Jinyang, and Wang Wu, the chief clerk of the Huangmen! Is it that you are not a great man? Why don't you kneel down to greet the angels?"

At this critical moment, you will be over if you are afraid! You have to take the momentum of selling health products and yell out the momentum in front of the uncle and aunt. Even if you pretend, you have to be confident that you will lose money if you don’t buy it!

Not to mention, Wang Hou's salesman's aura really made Zhang Wenyuanhu stunned, and he was quite surprised and suspicious as Wang Hou shook his squid tail and the dense flags behind him.

However, I have to admit that the brand and market recognition of Dahan's health products company are quite good. After hesitating for a few seconds, the guy turned over and got off the horse, then knelt heavily on the ground, kowtowed and shouted.

"The last thing is to pay homage to the great Han angel!"

Following him, the big brothers riding the horse and the big brothers holding the halberd finally knelt on the ground in obedience, kowtowed and said, "Long live Your Majesty." The little sissy couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, looking at Wang Hou with a little admiration.

But seeing Wang Hou taking advantage of the fact that the guy bowed his head and kept hammering his chest, looking like he was breathless, this guy rolled his eyes in contempt again.

After eased his nervousness, Wang Hou once again recovered the successful salesperson and once again hung up and shouted deeply.

"Get up! I ordered you to protect me and go to Xia Pi!"

…………

In this way, Wang Hou realized the feeling of evil ghosts traveling and being avoided by strangers. The place where Zhang Wenyuan's army went, within ten miles of radius, was simply a barren grass. Along the distance, the people ran away. When Wang Hou arrived, there was only an empty ghost village left. But it was no wonder they left. The military discipline of these guys was really bad. Several times, the cavalry took the lead and followed the Danyang soldiers into the village to search for money and food. After a trip, they caught a large bag of trophy.

The only thing that Wang Hou couldn't understand in this team was Zhang Wenyuan, the cavalry leader, who dispersed and robbed. Every time he did not stop him, but as he heard his subordinates shouting in the village, he couldn't help but sigh deeply, and turned around and looked at Wang Hou, looking a little reluctant to speak.

Logically speaking, the closer you get to the prefectures and county seats, the more prosperous it should be. However, when you arrive in Xuzhou, you will be in a completely opposite way. The closer you get to Xia Pi, the more desolate it is. The villagers fled before, but when they get to the city, they simply become deserted villages. The fields are covered with weeds and the thatched huts have collapsed for a long time.

Pengcheng was still a bit far from Xia Pi. In addition, he took the infantry to plunder and took three days to arrive in Xia Pi. It was estimated that Zhang Wenyuan had sent someone to report early. Xia Pi's west gate was already crowded with people, and he had set up a response. At the beginning, the white Lu flag in front was majestic. The elite infantry wearing armor and halberds were arranged into two huge square formations at the gate. A large group of horse riders were wrapped in the middle of the square formation. It was probably the brains of Xuzhou.

The Romance is not credible! Lu Bu's image of Fang Tian Painting Ji was so deeply rooted in the hearts that Wang Hou was subconsciously looking for the famous halberd in the crowd, but there was no one in the entire team. Instead, there was a strong man with a big iron spear hanging on his saddle, tall and big, and his muscles were tangled on his body, which seemed to be broken. He even had six-pack abs on his face, his broad cheeks were full, and his forehead was thick and wrinkles. He was looking at himself with his head held high.

If you use Northeast dialect to describe it, then the expressions of seven are dissatisfied and eight are resentful.

This is true for the lord and subordinates. Whether it is the civil servant riding on the left or the military general on the right, the old faces are rigid as if someone owed them four hundred taels of silver, staring at Wang Hou coldly.

Not to mention, there are also differences in the face of a stern face. Others have stern faces, but they look like 400 taels. The old guy next to Lu Bu is wearing a brick-like crown, wearing a brown-black robe, and a pork waist, and his face is tense so tight that it is about to crack. Wang Hou owes him 800 taels. His eyes swept Wang Hou twice. He then ignored him like a salesperson who had been selling for a big sale in the mall for a day.

"The people of Xuzhou welcome the Han angels and invite the angels into the city!"

"Lu Bu, the assassin of Xuzhou, why don't he worship me when he sees me?"
