In the sixth year of Xiping (177 A.D.), in April, there was a great drought, and from July to September, seven prefectures such as Qing, You, He, Hebei, Xu, Yan, and Liang suffered locust plagues, and the locust plague caused no harvest in seven states.

Compared with the severely affected prefectures and counties, Liaodong County escaped the catastrophe because it had taken precautions in advance.

The gratitude of the people of Liaodong who survived the disaster to Li Man is like a surging river.

At this moment, the people of Liaodong intuitively feel that they are the happiest people in the world!

What is happiness? When others are hungry due to disasters, but when the people of Liaodong have food to eat, this is called happiness!

In the disaster-stricken areas, starvation is everywhere, grass roots and tree bark have been eaten up by refugees, and there are countless people who have eaten their children, and the situation is unbearable.

On the first day of October, Liaodong County.

The displaced people from all over the country came one after another, and Li Man had no choice but to order people to close the city gates, and ordered all counties not to let the displaced people into the city without an order.

Although in recent years, Li Man has followed Li Yang's advice and stockpiled a lot of grain in advance, the grain stored in the official warehouse is far from enough to feed the hundreds of thousands of displaced people.

Hundreds of thousands of displaced people, Rao is drinking porridge every day, I am afraid it is also an astronomical amount, this is only the advance force, a large number of displaced people are swarming along the official road, Li Man is also powerless about this, so many displaced people, Li Man can't save them at all.

The Han Dynasty has very strict rules for people to walk on the road, the emperor walks the royal road, the officials walk the official road, the posters, the soldiers walk the post road, and the people have no way to go, because they don't go out of the door once, and the homeless people love to take whatever road they can take, and they can take whatever road they can take, as long as they can live, they can walk any way, and they dare to go.

As the old saying goes, as long as you are willing to cut your body, you dare to pull the emperor off the horse.

Liaodong County is not better than the counties of the Central Plains, the whole Liaodong County of the family family total is not a few, except for an unsatisfactory Gongsun family, there is almost no family family at all, there is no family family, it means that there is no food to raise, in this era, the strength of the family family, far beyond people's imagination.

Of course, the Gongsun clan here is only in Liaodong, and in the world, the Gongsun clan is not ranked at all.

The head of the Gongsun family's generation was Gongsun Du, who was the assassin of Jizhou at the time.

Jizhou Assassin Shi sounds quite bullish, but in fact, during Liu Hong's reign, the power of Assassin Shi was not as great as imagined.

At least in front of Li Man, Gongsun Du only has the share of promises.

The fifth day of October.

Li Yang, Li Hu and others held an attitude of watching the excitement, and under the escort of Fu Bo, they climbed the city wall, put their hands on the battlements, and looked out of the city.

Looking at the endless team of displaced people, Li Yang unconsciously gasped, and couldn't hide his exclamation: "What's the matter.... Tragic as this, huh? ”

Outside the city of Xiangping, there are many displaced people, and there is no order at all, fighting, pushing, crowding, crazy robbery, and wailing are countless.

Suddenly, an unusually poignant cry came into the ears of Li Yang and the others.

"Don't, don't, don't, ah...... Give me back my child, give me back my child.....", a scrawny woman hissed and cried as she staggered after her.

A group of fierce young men were searching for children hiding in the woman's arms, for whom they were food to eat, and who, judging by their physical figures, were clearly out of place with the real homeless, and it was evident that they had not suffered from cold.

Seeing this, Li Hu's angry muscles burst out, his fists clenched, and he said angrily: "God-killing beast." And as he spoke, he was going out of the city to set up a relationship with the wicked.

"Together." , Han Bao expressed the resentment in his heart through his actual actions.

The two of them were at the age of their flesh and blood, and they could not see such outrageous acts the most.

"Don't mess around", Li Yang frowned, gritted his teeth and said, "You are far from being their opponents. ”

"I....", Li Hu wanted to refute it, but he muttered for a long time, but finally turned into a sigh and swallowed the words that had come to his mouth back into his stomach.

Although Li Hu is reckless, he still has self-knowledge, although it has been a year and a half since he practiced martial arts, but Li Hu and others are still young, and their strength is not good, and they are far from being able to make the right move with others.

At this moment, a big hand was placed on Li Hu's thin shoulder.

Li Hu looked back, but saw that his father had appeared behind him.

Li Man sighed slightly, gently pinched Li Hu's shoulder, and said, "What your brother said is right, there is still an irreparable gap between you and Ah Bao when they are still young, and they are young and strong. ”

"But .....", Li Hu was about to speak, but was interrupted by Li Man's words.

A trace of murderous intent flashed in Li Man's eyes, and he squinted his eyes and said coldly: "This matter ....... He does it for his father. ”

When Li Hu heard this, he suddenly felt like he was on the edge of the abyss, and he was bluffed into a trembling spirit.

Li Yang was no better than Li Hu, and Li Man's words made his heart pound.

Li Yang suddenly thought of a sentence: "Tu Wan is a hero." ”

Li Manzhiwei was set off by tens of thousands of Hu people at the cost of their lives.

Li Yang glanced at Li Man, his eyes were full of reverence and pride, this was the first time he had looked at his father like this since he could remember.

Looking at the staggering team of displaced people, Li Yang felt compassion, looked sideways at Li Man, and pleaded: "Father, can you choose young and strong, women and children from among the displaced people, and allow them to take refuge in the city?" ”

Seeing that his father was a little moved, Li Yang made persistent efforts and said: "Saving people's lives is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, my father only needs to order someone to circle a place outside the city, open a porridge shop from it, and give porridge water." ”

"This may cause panic." , Li Man said worriedly.

"Isn't there chaos outside the city at the moment?" , Li Yang stretched out his hand and pointed to the city and asked.

Facing his father's gaze, Li Yang said eloquently: "In extraordinary times, you should do extraordinary methods, choose the first evil, and kill them all." At that time, the chaos outside the city can be easily solved. ”

Li Man bowed his head slightly, and sighed: "I will do it with my son's law." After speaking, he walked down the city first and led the troops out of the city to maintain order.

Li Yang's advice was full of loopholes, and the reason why Li Man would adopt Li Yang's suggestion was because he didn't want to discourage his son's enthusiasm, after all, Li Yang was also out of good intentions, in fact, Li Man had already made full preparations.

In fact, Li Yang himself knew that his own Taoism was not enough at all, but he really couldn't watch the chaos under the city and be indifferent.

As a man who has lived in a harmonious society for 30 years, he really can't be indifferent to everything that is happening in front of him.

Compared with the slightly immature Li Yang, Li Man is much older and spicier, when he learned that the locust plague was coming, Li Man immediately added 1,000 troops to Wangping County, which borders Wuhuan, and at this moment, Wangping County has 2,000 elite soldiers in full armor.

Wangping County is located in the main road of transportation, is the only way for Wuhuan to go south, if Wuhuan dares to bypass Wangping County to go south, then their logistics supply will face many attacks by the Han army, in addition, they will also face the embarrassing situation of being attacked by the enemy.

Therefore, as long as the Wuhuan people are not lacking in hearts, they will never spare Pingxian and leave, so it is enough for two thousand elite soldiers to guard Pingxian.

Liaodong is located in the border county, the whole county has a total of 6,000 elite soldiers, except for Wangping County, the rest of the counties are divided by geographical location, and the garrison ranges from 200 to 500.

Under the city of Xiangping, Li Manqin led 500 elite horses out of the city and went straight to the people who took the opportunity to make trouble.

Seeing this, the displaced people moved out of the way one after another, or lay down, sat or stood on both sides of the road, looking at the hundreds of imposing cavalry troops, and did not even dare to breathe.

Under the frightened and helpless eyes of the green-skinned scoundrels, Li Man ordered them to be arrested and beheaded.

Li Man changed his fatherly appearance in the past, and turned into a killing god who regarded human life as a mustard, and with an order, more than 300 good heads fell to the ground.

When the homeless people saw this, they were all silent, and a few timid people had been bluffed into peeing their pants.

Li Yang stood above the city and watched it from a distance, with a look of surprise on his face, and sighed secretly: "What a murderous aura. ”
