Chapter 570

That night, Liu Bu publicly entertained the sun chuanting family in the Zhizhou yamen, accompanied by the dignitaries in Dezhou City. All the local dignitaries came and sat full of more than 100 people.

The squires and dignitaries in these places were quite shocked when they heard that sun chuanting had taken refuge in the Liu family. Sun chuanting was very famous. Although he was imprisoned by the emperor for contradicting the emperor and for corruption, no one denied his ability. He was extremely strong.

The wandering bandits have been rampant in the Ming Dynasty for many years, and Gao Yingxiang is a huge bandit who runs the world. The imperial court has no way to take him. This is the person who broke Fengyang, the capital of China, and dug up the imperial mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty. The imperial court has no way to take him. In the end, sun chuanting came out and cleaned him up at one stroke, so his reputation has reached the peak.

He is also a top official in the imperial court. He is a three-sided governor with great power. The top figures who used to take refuge in Liu Jiajun are nothing more than Fang. If there were no prefects in such places, local dignitaries also chose to cooperate with them one after another. However, people at the level of governor took office, which gave them a great shock and a great blow.

In the eyes of many people, sun chuanting should have been killed by the emperor and didn't surrender, but sun chuanting took his family to Liu Jiajun. What about the character of scholar bureaucrats? What about the pride of the scholar officials? He doesn't have any. He's just a mediocre and immoral!

But Liu Bu thinks highly of sun chuanting and regards him as an important person. Although his appointment has not been announced, you will certainly arrange him for a very important position according to Liu Bu's courtesy.

Liu Jiajun's rise in Shandong, after controlling the three Western prefectures, their power will expand uncontrollably. Local dignitaries either go or choose to cooperate with him, so they also have no choice.

In the eyes of the imperial court, cooperation with Liu Jiajun is from thieves. Once the imperial army comes, they will be implicated. The consequences are extremely serious, but these people are not afraid, because Liu Jiajun has become tough. If you didn't cooperate with Liu Jiajun in the past, they wouldn't be difficult for you, but now it's different, After they took control of Jinan, they began to implement new policies.

That is, you must cooperate with him and sign the letter of allegiance. If you don't sign it, they will be expelled from Shandong, which means that Liu Jiajun has the evidence of their cooperation, that is, the evidence of knowing thieves in the eyes of the court. If you don't cooperate with him, once it is leaked to the court, it will be a dead end in the court, so it can be regarded as forcing these people into a corner, There is no choice.

However, there is one thing Liu Jiajun convinces everyone, that is, his strong military strength. His military capacity is prosperous, firm and resolute. He is very strong. As long as he sees the prosperous military capacity of Liu Jiajun, he is full of confidence in them. He may not be able to seize the world of Daming, but it seems that there is no problem to gain a foothold in this place and defend Shandong.

Moreover, the Liu family also expressed the way back to his core supporters, that is, even if they can't hold Shandong and retreat after defeat, they can lead these people to retreat to southern Liaoning and overseas.

In other words, they have a way back, and they don't have to die for rebellion. Since rebellion doesn't have to pay the price, they don't have to be afraid. Rebellion doesn't have to pay the price. Who won't rebel?

With the place open to attack from all directions, from the expansion of their influence, they have many places and many of their population. Shandong is the cream of Daming. It has fertile land, a large population and a four battle area. It is easy to be surrounded from all sides. They do not want to face the enemy in the face of the enemy.

That's why they take this loyalty book. If they are willing to stay, they will govern Shandong together and share prosperity and wealth. If they are unwilling to stay, they will send gifts to leave the country. The other party wants to stay and oppose the Liu family, which is impossible.

The most attractive part of Liu Jiajun's policy is that Qi people govern Qi and protect the environment and the people. This is very popular with local giants. Powerful giants in these places originally wanted a high degree of autonomy and more rights. They didn't even want to pay taxes, let alone other apportionments.

Therefore, they are very welcome to Liu Jiajun's policy. Of course, some people despise Liu Jiajun's behavior and evacuate by themselves. They can only take their belongings with them. As for their fields, manors and houses, they can't take them with them.

Nevertheless, the Liu family quickly gained support in the local area, that is, with the support of the local area, the local area was calm and there was no war chaos like that in the north.

Liu Jiajun is very capable of fighting, better than the imperial army. This is the basis for the stability of the people. They all know that since Liu Jiajun has entered here, it is not easy for the imperial court to fight in easily.

Especially in the old days, it was so hard that everyone didn't think about it. When the imperial court called, everyone just picked up a knife and did it with him.

Sun chuanting was surprised when he saw this. He thought Liu Jiajun's rebellion was only supported by a small number of people. It was imposed on the people in Shandong. The local people would not support such an action. Who knows that the local people's support for Liu Jiajun is very high, higher than the imperial court. Who calls the imperial court so many exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, What about the people?

Sun chuanting could not help sighing: "the world is about to change! It is the so-called: the mountain rain is coming, and the wind is all over the building!"

Sun chuanting lamented that Ming Dynasty was full of disasters, but sun chuanting's father, grandson and his two younger brothers were like fish in water. Since their families were broken and killed, they were oppressed by the royal guards. They tasted the pain of being servants, so they were particularly eager for fame and respect.

When they arrived here today, they received a warm welcome. You know, this Marshal Liu, but a very high-ranking person, treated them as guests, persuaded him to drink and said many polite words.

Especially sun chuanting's two younger brothers, they only have scholar fame and failed in the rural examination, so they can only study at home, but which scholar is not eager to stand out?

After Liu Bu heard that they were famous as scholars, he publicly expressed his willingness to recommend them as county mayors. After three years, he became a formal county magistrate. For the olive branch extended by Liu Bu, grandson agreed without hesitation. He directly agreed for his two sons.

The eldest son, Niu Bi, became a Jinshi in the early morning and became an official. However, he didn't take care of his two younger brothers, but also implicated them. Now he has the opportunity to let his two younger brothers go out of office. He won't hesitate. He got a bowl of water and answered for her immediately.

Sun chuanting sighed: "I'm afraid the Liu family can't get off."

Lu Xiangsheng knew that it was winter. It was snowing and the roads were closed. Sending troops in winter was a big taboo of the military. He didn't want to attack Nanpi so soon.

But there was no way. The imperial court issued three edicts a day or ordered him to send troops as soon as possible to win Texas. Although Lu Xiangsheng was the governor of five provinces, the emperor, cabinet, Ministry of war and ministers in the imperial court gave him a lot of pressure, hoping that his elite Tianxiong army could first invade Texas and open up the situation.

The imperial court is now in turmoil, with a lot of fate, and the overall morale is very low. They urgently need a huge victory to cheer up. They don't want to win Shandong before winter and calm the chaos of the Liu family. At least they have to win Texas, so as to boost the people's hearts and morale.

Because JianNu entered Serbia for the third time, massive robbery, coupled with the rebellion of the Liu family, blocked the canal, which lost all the prestige accumulated by the imperial court, and the situation became very critical.

In particular, the closure of their canal is almost equivalent to their lifeline. Daming can still support it now. It depends on the Beijing Hangzhou Grand Canal to continuously transport materials from the south to the north, otherwise it will be unimaginable.

Not surprisingly, when the Liu family cut off the canal, the rice price and price in the capital began to soar, and then spread to the whole surrounding areas. The price soared to the point that the people could not live.

Therefore, the imperial court is unsustainable. It can only choose to send troops in winter and open the canal to ensure that their materials can flow to the north continuously when the flowers bloom in spring next year.

In fact, they repeatedly urged Lu Xiangsheng to send troops because they were eager to open up the situation, but they didn't think about what to do if Lu Xiangsheng risked sending troops and lost? They didn't think about it. What should they do if they lose?

On the contrary, Hong Chengchou in the direction of Hejian was not urged to send troops because Liu Bu was in Linqing.

Liu Bu was one of the most feared generals in the imperial court. He commanded 50000 troops stationed in Linqing, which put great pressure on Hong Chengchou and the imperial court. They didn't dare to take risks at all, so they could only put their hope on Lu Xiangsheng, hoping that he could open up the situation first.

Lu Xiangsheng had no choice but to send troops in the wind and snow.

Nanpi is only a small county, but a few miles away. It should not be able to resist the impact of tens of thousands of troops. Moreover, he sent spies to inquire here, but he didn't get nothing at all.

At least they knew through inquiry that Liu Jiajun's army deployed in Nanpi had only two regiments with about 6000 people. More importantly, they had no cavalry, no artillery, but only a light regiment, which made them feel that they had an opportunity, so they immediately ordered their troops to go south and surround Nanpi.
