The newborn sunrise represents a new hope.

For the first time, when the sun had just risen in the early morning, there was a lot of noise in Nanyang County.

"Set up the pot, give porridge!"

This news from the Nanyang County Shoufu suddenly spread throughout the entire Nanyang County City, and everyone seemed to be touched by this sentence.

Nanyang County has been plagued by Dongli Yan for so many years, so that the people have no intention of taking care of agricultural affairs, and their lives are already difficult.

Then Cao Ren directly besieged Nanyang County for four months, that is, Hou Yin was deeply rooted in Nanyang County, and knew that the backlog of grain and grass in Nanyang County would be distributed to the people.

Otherwise, where is Cao Ren needed to slaughter the city afterwards, hunger can make the corpses of the people of Nanyang County all over the field!

The early morning sunshine, accompanied by the aroma of porridge from various soup kitchens, permeated the hearts of every people.

Those people who didn't know how long they had been squatting on both sides of the street, outside the county guard's mansion, were finally defeated by the truest voice coming out of their bodies.

The people, the sound of "rumbling" in their stomachs rang out.

Chen Yang is a very ordinary person in Nanyang County, and his family still has a few acres of thin fields outside the city.

Originally, looking at his body and bones that were not strong but definitely not thin, he worked those few acres of thin fields, and his small life was quite passable.

Later, I took a good mother-in-law, although the length is not very beautiful, but fortunately, she has a gentle temperament, and she takes care of herself properly by washing and cooking on weekdays, and she is also very comfortable in that small life.

Until a man named Dongli Yan became the county guard of Nanyang, there was also a kind of envoy with him.

Each family in Nanyang County must send a male to escort grain and grass for the army.

Needless to say, the only male in the family, Chen Yang went out of Nanyang and became one of the members of the escort grain and grass.

In that escort, Chen Yang walked for more than ten days and traveled hundreds of miles, eating and sleeping badly along the way, and the slightest carelessness was a severe beating.

Many people chose to run away because they couldn't stand this kind of torture, Chen Yang didn't know how many escaped, but Chen Yang knew that every day when he opened his eyes, there were always a few brand-new corpses strung on the fence of the camp, and they were all captured people.

Chen Yang also thought about escaping, really thought about it, especially after being whipped with a whip, gnawing on dry and hard cakes and drinking cold water.

But Chen Yang restrained himself, not because he was afraid of being arrested and executed, but because he was afraid that he would never see his mother-in-law again, that gentle woman.

After more than ten days of torture, Chen Yang, who had lost a lot of weight, finally walked back alive, returned to his home, and returned to the woman's side.

At that time, he thought that this was a bittersweet end, and he would not die.

Then his nightmare officially began, since the first envoy appeared, the word "envoy" has become the mantra of Nanyang County, and it has also become a part of Chen Yang's life.

He slowly discovered that he spent most of the year doing various servants.

Escorting grain and grass for the army is the most ordinary.

It became a job to build and fortify the walls.

Mining for some people, that's part of their job.

The most painful thing is that even sprinkling sweeping for the county guard has become one of his servants!

was constantly called, and Chen Yang could only let his mother-in-law handle the cultivation of a few acres of thin fields outside the city.

Fortunately, my mother-in-law is also from a farmer's family, and she also did it by plowing and manipulating the land, so she didn't let her family run out of cooking!

But that's just it, the later envoys of Nanyang County are no longer a matter of one person, and two or even three envoys are coming at the same time.

No matter how powerful Chen Yang is, he can't take care of it at the same time, so he can only choose to go out with his mother-in-law, and as for the few acres of thin fields at home, he can only let him be barren.

The last few acres of thin fields were taken away by the Zhang family, one of the four great families in Nanyang County, at a very low price.

And Chen Yang, who had no land and fell into the seemingly endless servitude, became worse and worse.

Finally, after the last bit of food at home was made into porridge and then drunk by himself, there was finally no food left at home.

And his favorite mother-in-law also died soon after due to excessive hunger and fatigue, along with his unborn child.

Chen Yang felt that he was dead, and the moment his mother-in-law died with her own child, he was already dead.

But when he wanted to die with him, God didn't let him die.

"You are a good man, your wife would rather die by herself than give you the last food, you have to know who gave you your life now!"

This is a person named Hou Qian told Chen Yang that he was about to hang himself that day, and this person named Hou Qian broke into his room.

After saying such a bunch of words, he left him a long knife that was not considered good, and told him, "General Houyin will bring you new hope, and if you don't want your wife to be disappointed, live well, and live with this city!" ”

Chen Yang didn't know how much he thought that day, and he didn't know whether it was because he didn't want to disappoint his mother-in-law, or simply because he was afraid of death.

Anyway, Chen Yang did not hang himself that day, but reached out and picked up the long knife, walked to the city wall, and became a member of the "righteous army".

He was stationed on the city wall for four months and killed seventeen people, not because of how superb his martial arts were, but because he was an ordinary common man, where there was any martial arts.

He just followed his own thoughts, and after seeing the enemy climbing the city wall, he rushed over desperately, regardless of his own injury, regardless of his own safety, and killed that person.

He didn't know if this method was right, he only before, if he died like this, his mother-in-law would not be disappointed, and his man would still be a good man in the end!

As a result, Chen Yang, who wanted to die, did not die, forty-three days, he stayed by General Houyin's side for forty-three days, he stayed on the city wall of Nanyang County for forty-three days, and they blocked Cao Zixiao, the famous general of the Han Dynasty, for forty-three days.

Then a man named Zong Qing found General Hou Yin, took away the Dong Li Yan who made Chen Yang hate his teeth itching, and persuaded General Hou Yin to open the city gate.

The people of Nanyang, who had long been unable to hold on, did not have much disgust towards this matter.

Zong Qing said that he would exonerate the people of Nanyang County, reduce their envoys in the future, and persuade the family to return their previous land.

General Cao Zixiao also promised to give them grain and grass again, so that these poor people who had no surplus food could live.

So they opened the gate of Nanyang County very obediently, and let Cao Ren, who had spent forty-three days outside, in.

Also coming in was Cao Ren's army of nearly 10,000 people, and the bloody massacre came in.

Cao Ren broke his oath, and from the moment he stepped into the county town of Nanyang, he gave the order to slaughter the city, he said, he wanted the life of General Yin!

But instead of going to General Houyin, they killed a man when they saw him.

Seeing this tragic scene, General Houyin walked out by himself, tied himself up and walked in front of Cao Ren, asking for his name in exchange for the safety of the people of Nanyang County.

Cao Ren agreed, and the moment General Houyin's head hit the ground, Cao Ren gave a second order.

Slaughter the city for a day, collect the troops and return!

Cao Ren's army wreaked havoc in Nanyang County for a whole day and night, slaughtering more than 100,000 people in Nanyang County as much as 30%, and those who could escape ran out.

Those who can't run out are like Chen Yang, who is lucky to survive in the world alone.

Chen Yang, like everyone else, sat where he wanted to stay the most.

He had thought he would go to a mass grave to guard his mother-in-law and the unborn child.

But when he reached the gate of the North City, where he had been stationed, he couldn't walk anymore.

There are his most glorious times, with the memory of his killing of the enemy, and the impression that others cheered for him.

Those cheers were the only time in his life that he heard cheering for him!

Here, too, are the memories of the person he admires the most, where he met the man, where he said goodbye.

Chen Yang should shed tears, but he couldn't shed tears, obviously he felt so uncomfortable, he just couldn't shed tears.

In the end, Chen Yang sat down at the gate of the city, looked at the tall gate of Nanyang County, thinking about his madness in those forty-three days, and thinking of the great man who slapped his shoulder hard.

"It's time for soup kitchen!" A loud shout woke up Chen Yang, who was half asleep.

"Porridge?" A smell of grain came, and Chen Yang opened his eyes and looked around.

Several carts pushed several large buckets of thick porridge not far from the city gate, and the men in the carts were not all very strong, but Chen Yang could see that this group of guys had all seen blood, and they had seen a lot, because of the smell of blood, he could smell it from afar.

"It's time to eat, it's time to eat!" The man with the cart vigorously beckoned the crowd around him, beckoning them to go there to drink porridge.

"Uncle, drink porridge" An old man may not want to move or he can't move anymore, anyway, he just sat there and didn't move, a man saw this and put a slow bowl of porridge with his own hands and sent it to the old man by hand.

The porridge is freshly cooked, and it is still steaming, which is not only hot but also difficult to walk smoothly when served.

But even if the hot porridge splashed on his hand, the man still put the porridge in front of the old man, looked at the old man with a look of hope, and let his hands be red by the hot porridge, and did not let go of it.

The old man didn't want to take care of this stubble, but looking at the man in front of him who was trying to make a smile, looking at the young face, looking at the red hands, the old man suddenly thought of his dead child.

If the child was still alive, he would have been like this young man, so young and full of vitality, and the old man suddenly became very eager to cry.

"Uncle, drink porridge, let's eat" The man still said this, he is a white horse servant, he can only kill people and not save people, today a young man found his own captain, found himself, and asked them to take the porridge stalls to various places in the city in batches to give porridge.

The young man told himself to smile, not to keep a straight face, not to make those people feel that he was too fierce, originally these requirements in Bai Ma Yicong's opinion, this is to embarrass himself, let a group of guys who can only kill people to smile, to persuade people to eat, this is too difficult.

But when they came to this group of old people, and looked at the old people who were as old as their own father, or even older than their own father, and looked at their dead faces and godless eyes, and when these fellows put down all their tasks, they realized how humble and miserable the people of this city were.

"Uncle..."

"Okay, I'll drink, put the porridge down." The old man nodded when he saw that the man was going to say it again, he thought that the young man was too much like his own child, but he could not think so.

"Drink it now." The man who was righteous from the white horse saw that the old man was relieved, and his heart breathed a sigh of relief in an instant, not because the task was completed, but because the old man finally agreed to eat the food in his hand.

The old man looked at the big bowl that was still being sent to his mouth, frowned, and really wanted to say in his heart, how can he be as stupid as his little baby.

"It's so hot, how can the old man drink it!"

Only then did the man react, and quickly put the big bowl beside the old man, and then blew his red fingers that had been scalded hard, looking at the old man who was slowly sitting up, with a smirk on his face.

There are many people like this man, bowls of porridge are sent to the front of the people, and those who are at home take the bowls out, and those who do not have bowls are sent to them with bowls and porridge, and the two families are fully supported, and the wealth of the two big families is all sent out.

If nothing else, in order to let the people of Nanyang County eat a hot meal, Tian Yu was already carefully dividing the map of Nanyang County and the surrounding areas with Kuai Meng and others.

The people live on food, not that the people only need to have a stutter, but the fields were barren because of the servitude, and then the barren land was bought by the family, so that they had neither time nor land, but could only wait for the final sale into slavery.

Now that the family wealth has been searched out and the help of various families in Nanyang County, the people of Nanyang County can finally eat temporarily, but they can't manage it for a while, so while they may be able to catch up with the tail of spring planting, Tian Yu wants to divide the land as soon as possible.

At this time, Tian Yu really wanted to thank Sun Ying, Sun Ying continued to slaughter for half a day and one night, in addition to making him a butcher well-known in the circle of the Nanyang family, but also by taking advantage of the prestige of the school office, so that all the families were honest.

At this time, the Zhao family of the four major families personally patrolled the streets under the leadership of their old lady Zhao Lin, and the head of the Wang family, Wang Pan, took the initiative to visit.

Tian Yu and Kuai Meng were discussing the situation in Nanyang County and the distribution of fields, Bai Ma Yicong was giving porridge along the street, and Liu Fu also began to do what he was going to do.

"Uncle Zhou, I'm here to bring you food! Are you up? Liu Fu came to the old man's house with a bowl of porridge that he was the first to send back yesterday.

At this time, that old man Zhou had just gotten up, looking at the slightly cluttered room, listening to Liu Fu's call in the courtyard outside, he suddenly felt that there was a trace of human flavor in this house that frightened him.

"What are you screaming about!" It was rare for Mr. Zhou to sleep so sweetly in bed, and he was upset by Liu Fu's call early in the morning, and couldn't help scolding, "The food you cook is eaten by people?" ”

Liu Fu heard the scolding of Mr. Zhou's slightly lacking breath, and couldn't help but be happy, it was good to be able to scold, and he was not polite, so he directly pushed the door open and put the bowl of hot porridge on the head of Mr. Zhou's bed, "Hot porridge, eat it quickly, it's better than my craftsmanship!" ”

"If you do it alone, you can do it better than you!" Mr. Zhou took a sip, then carefully picked up the porridge and took a sip.

"It's hot!" Mr. Zhou hurriedly put the bowl down, and wanted to say a few words to Liu Fu, but he saw his red fingers and a big bubble, and his heart softened suddenly, "You idiot!" Don't you know how hot the porridge is? ”

"Hehe" Liu Fu thought that Uncle Zhou said that he didn't remind him, so he could only smirk, "That, you drink slowly, I'll come back to clean up the house for you later, and I have to send porridge to others." ”

"You... It's not just an ordinary guard servant. Mr. Zhou looked at Liu Fu with a smirk on his face, although he was dressed ordinarily, but this temperament on his body was not something that ordinary people could do, and this guy was also literate!

"Hehe, it's half a student." Liu Fu thought that he had asked Tian Yu to steal the teacher, and this sentence was not against his will, "Uncle, a certain family is leaving, and there are still many people who have not eaten, you can drink porridge first, and after a certain family is busy, you will come back to clean it up!" ”

After finishing speaking, Liu Fu was about to leave, as he said, how many people he carried back home yesterday, how many people he will deliver food to today.

Just as Liu Fu was about to walk out, he was stopped by Uncle Zhou, "Stupid boy, wait!" ”

"Uncle, when?" Liu Fu looked at the trembling old man who walked over, for fear that he would accidentally fall.

"Take it!" The old man handed over a thick linen cloth, "Don't you feel hot when you serve the porridge on your hand, you stupid boy!" ”

After scolding Liu Fu, Mr. Zhou walked back alone tremblingly, returned to the bed, took a small sip of hot porridge, and no longer looked at Liu Fu.

Liu Fu took the thick linen, suddenly a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, quickly wiped the corner of his eye with the back of his hand, and then walked out with a smirk, he still has a lot of people to leave, today, he will be very busy.

Just when Liu Fu and his family ran to deliver porridge and rice, Tian Yu and Kuaimeng finally completed the redivision of the land.

"Kuai family boy," Tian Yu, who breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Kuai Meng who was smiling, "The matter is roughly clear, but the old man still has one last sentence, you have to remember." ”

"The country asked the general to speak."

"This big man is indispensable to those loyal and brave men! Put away all your careful thoughts for the old man! ”
