Before leaving, the old man hesitated for a while and left two grain carts to Li Di.

told Li Di that after eating the grain, remember to send the carriage, horses, and grain bags to Koufu.

Li Di stared at the two lonely grain carts that were left, not knowing what to say.

I, Li Di, one of the four rulers of the Great Song Dynasty, have been given alms......

In Li Di's eyes, when the old man dropped the grain cart, his hesitant behavior was very similar to the look of the rich families on the streets of Bianjing City when they gave alms to beggars.

Li Di sarcastically said a few words to himself, walked to the grain truck, opened a grain bag, and looked inside, a big bag of mushrooms.

That is, beans.

Li Di hurriedly asked people to remove the grain bags from the car, take them to the city wall, and re-set up porridge sheds to make food and distribute it to the displaced people.

The displaced people also knew that the food brought by the convoy was for them to eat, and although it had been pulled elsewhere, it must have their share.

They stopped shouting or making trouble, and one by one, under the appeasement of the officials, they stood under the city wall, waiting for the officials to give them food to eat.

With this batch of grain sent by Baozhou, this time the food crisis can be regarded as over.

The documents of the imperial court to mobilize grain and grass from other places were sent out as early as last night, and three days later, the grain from all over the place would gather in Bianjing City.

The problem of food and clothing for the displaced people will be completely solved.

Li Di looked at the homeless people who were guarding around the two grain trucks and refused to leave, and then looked at the old people who died on the city wall, and his heart was mixed.

If only the food could arrive a day earlier......

No!

A few hours earlier, no one will die because of the food.

But he didn't complain about the old man and the others.

Not only can you not complain, but you also have to take credit for this group of people.

They didn't owe anything to the court, and they didn't promise to help the court do anything.

People can travel thousands of miles to transport grain to Bianjing City purely to maintain their friendship with Kou Ji.

If people don't send it, there is no problem.

After Li Di asked people to unload the grain on the grain truck, he turned around to look at the soldiers of the forbidden army who were driven out of the grain transportation team by the old man.

"The old man asked you to investigate the matter of escorting grain and grass, how could it be taken down and called as a servant?"

Li Di stared at the soldiers of the forbidden army who only had leather armor left.

The soldiers of the forbidden army said with a bitter face: "Back to Li Xiang, the lowly rank and others were ordered to investigate the matter of escorting grain and grass, and when they were escorting the thieves back to Beijing, they bumped into them.

The lowly people knew that Bianjing City was short of food for the victims, and when they saw that they were escorting a large amount of grain, they moved their minds. ”

Li Di pouted and said, "Haven't you beaten anyone?" Caught by someone? ”

The soldiers of the forbidden army bowed their heads in shame.

Their combat effectiveness is not bad, but the old man and others are not weak in combat effectiveness, and there are more people than them.

The old man and the others cooperated with the horse army and the infantry army, and forcibly captured the horse army light cavalry in their group of forbidden troops.

Although they lost, they were convinced of the loss, so they did not open their mouths to defend themselves.

The average age of the old man and the others, in about thirty years, are all veterans of a hundred battles who have been tempered in the border for many years, and it is reasonable to defeat these people who have only been in the army for three or five years, and who have not experienced three or five major wars.

Seeing that they did not defend themselves, Li Di was slightly stunned, guessing their thoughts, and he said loudly: "If you lose, you will be defeated...... You were also defeated to help the displaced people grab food, and it is understandable.

The old man will inform you of the overseers in the army, so that they can absolve you of your crimes. ”

When the soldiers of the forbidden army heard this, they looked at Li Di gratefully and nodded in unison.

Seeing that Li Di was about to leave, one of them spoke, "Li Xiang......"

Li Di paused and asked, "What...... Do you still want the old man to help you succeed? ”

The soldiers of the forbidden army hurriedly shook their heads and said: "The lowly people don't have this mind, the lowly people want Li Xiang to talk to the Ministry of Kougong, so that those people can return the weapons and horses of the lowly people......"

Li Di turned around and asked, "Why should they return the captured ones to you after winning the battle?" ”

The faces of the soldiers of the forbidden army and others were a little ugly.

The blade is lost, but they are not afraid.

Horses are the most important thing.

There are only 100,000 horses owned by the imperial court, and only about 60,000 can be selected as war horses.

However, the imperial court has as many as 300,000 horse troops.

That is, five cavalrymen, in order to equip one horse.

So horses are extremely precious, more precious than all of them.

This is also the reason why when Kou Ji got the horses from the Liao State in the first place, so many people risked being killed and offending Kou Zhun to take the horses from Kou Ji.

A few soldiers, called cavalrymen, may not be able to ride a horse for the rest of their lives.

If they lose their blades, they just have to go back to the armory and collect them again, but if they lose their horses, they will have to pay the same amount of money or be severely punished.

Li Di knew the importance of horses, and when he saw the ugly faces of the soldiers of the forbidden army, he knew that they were afraid of being severely punished.

He sighed and said, "The old man helped you carry the matter of the horses." ”

When the soldiers of the forbidden army heard this, they were relieved.

Li Di didn't bother with them anymore, he left some officials to sort out the displaced people, and took some officials to the north gate of Bianjing City.

Bianjing City, at the North City Gate.

After dawn, they did not see smoke rising from the stove, nor did they see any grain being transported out of Bianjing City, so the displaced people surrounded Kou Ji's tent.

Peng Yue carried a short knife that he didn't know where to get, leading the homeless, staring at Kou Ji with red eyes.

Peng Yue regarded Kou Ji as a good person and a believer, and chose to believe Kou Ji, but Kou Ji deceived him.

This made him feel very angry.

Liu Heng and Cao Tong were carrying knives, one left and one right blocking in front of Kou Ji.

Since dawn, the two sides have been holding each other like this, and they have not said anything.

Just when Peng Yue was about to lead the homeless people to tear up Kou Ji, the entourage of the Li Mansion arrived in time, saying that food had arrived, and Li Di summoned Kou Ji over.

Kou Ji wanted to follow the retinue of the Li Mansion, but was stopped by Peng Yue and the homeless.

They felt that Koji had deceived them once, and would definitely have deceived them a second time.

Li Di summoned Kou Ji over, and it was likely a ploy to help Kou Ji get out.

Kou Ji could only play the entourage of the Li Mansion and go back to tell Li Di that he was trapped and could not go back.

After the entourage of the Li Mansion left, Peng Yue led the homeless people and silently approached Kou Ji step by step.

When they were forced to three feet in front of Kou Ji.

A team of thousands, brandishing knives, rushed into the distance.

After they rushed to the north gate, they saw the homeless people surrounding Kou Ji, and without any hesitation, they chose to charge.

If it weren't for the leading man trying his best to restrain his men and horses and not allow them to kill, they would definitely rush all the way in.

Because in their hearts, Kou Ji's life is far more important than anyone else's.

Not to mention a group of homeless people, even if it is the elite cavalry of the Liao State, they will kill them without hesitation.

They rushed into the crowd of homeless people, tore open a gap, and rushed in front of Kou Ji, protecting him behind him.

When they rode their horses and reflexively faced the homeless, the hilt of the knife turned tactfully, and the blade of the knife was pointed at the homeless.

They didn't shout any threatening words, but they told all the homeless people with their actions that if they dared to offend Koji, they would not be polite.

Although they did not wear armor, the fierce aura exuded by their bodies made the homeless people feel uncomfortable.

Although the outcasts outnumbered them, they were only afraid when they faced them.

There are not many people who can raise the courage and fight with them.

After they frightened the homeless, they sat on horseback and saluted Kou Ji together, "The villain and the others have seen Engong, and the villain and others are defending against the enemy, and they can't pay full salutes, please forgive Engong." ”

When Kou Ji saw them, he was surprised, he saw some impressed figures in the middle, and asked in amazement, "Why are you here?" ”

The man at the head grinned and said, "Wait a while, Chen Matou arrives, you ask him." ”

Kou Ji said unexpectedly, "There are other people?" ”

The man at the head nodded.

It didn't take long for the old man to hurry to the north gate with a convoy of grain transport.

When the team arrived at the homeless people, the old man ignored the homeless people and walked forward on a rampage.

The homeless people subconsciously made way for them.

The old man and the others were like a pack of wolves roaming among the sheep, disdainful of the sheep around them.

The old man only had Kou Ji in his eyes.

After the old man arrived not far in front of Kou Ji, he jumped out of the carriage, ran quickly in front of Kou Ji, and arched his hand: "Little old man has seen Engong. ”

The old man didn't have the coldness when he faced Li Di, and when he faced Kou Ji, his expression was very eager.

Kou Ji was relieved to see the long line of grain behind the old man.

He stepped forward quickly, held up the old man's hands, and hurriedly asked, "Why are you here?" And brought so much food? ”

The old man rubbed his hands crampedly, and said with a bright smile on his face: "After harvesting the wheat in May, Xiao Lao'er and the others planted soybeans in the field again. God appreciates faces, and this year's soybean has also achieved a bumper harvest.

Everyone couldn't eat enough mushrooms in their hands, so they thought about exchanging them for a little money.

When Chen Engong's people who stayed in Baozhou learned about this, they informed Chen Engong.

Chen Engong wrote to Xiao Lao'er and told Xiao Lao'er and others to transport the Shu to Bianjing City to sell, and he would help us sell it, not only would not let us suffer, but also let us sell the Shu at a high price.

Xiao Lao'er originally planned to entrust the transfer department to transport the grain, but the price of the grain transported by the transfer department was too high.

The little old man thought about it, so it was better to send it over by himself.

Anyway, it's winter soon, and Xiao Lao'er and the others are idle.

After Xiao Lao'er and others escorted the grain out of Baozhou, they heard the news of a major flood in Bianjing.

Fearing that you would run out of food because of the flood, you hurried day and night to bring the grain over as soon as possible.

When he arrived at the boundary of Kaifeng Prefecture, he bumped into a group of forbidden soldiers and wanted to grab food.

Xiao Lao'er led people to take them down, and learned from them that you had taken over the disaster relief and had no food in your hands.

Xiao Lao'er and others rushed overnight to transport food to you and solve your urgent needs. ”

Kou Ji took his hand and said movingly: "Not only did it solve my urgent need, but also saved countless lives." ”

The old man smiled in a low voice, "It's good to be able to help Engong." ”

In the hearts of the old man and the others, they would be satisfied if they could help Kou Ji.

Koji has a life grace for them, and they naturally repay them as a spring.

As for how many lives were lived, they didn't care at all.

When Koji is happy, they are happy, it's as simple as that.

Kou Ji nodded, and instructed Liu Heng beside him: "Quickly take someone to unload the grain, and then start the fire to make rice." ”

Liu Heng agreed, and took the servants and others to start unloading the grain.

When Liu Heng took people to unload grain, he also specially asked people to open the grain bags, so that the displaced people could see the grain inside.

The sacks of grain were open and placed in front of the homeless people, and the homeless people could naturally see them.

Some of the homeless people quietly left the besieging party.

Some people take the lead, and some people obey.

In a few moments, most of the displaced people had left.

The old man was talking with Kou Ji with a smile, and suddenly someone walked up to him and pulled his sleeve, and he was stunned.

"What's wrong?"

The man pointed to Peng Yue, who was holding a knife in his hand.

The old man's eyes fell on Peng Yue, and after seeing Peng Yue's burly body, he sighed in his heart.

After his eyes fell on the short knife in Peng Yue's hand, his face turned cold.

Koji noticed the old man's expression and didn't say anything.

The old man's gaze withdrew from Peng Yue, a smile resurfaced on his face, and said to Kou Ji: "Engong, if Xiao Lao'er beats someone, don't blame Xiao Lao'er." ”

Kou Ji smiled silently and shook his head, "It won't ......"

The old man nodded and said with a smile: "That's good." ”

He arched his hand to Kou Ji, turned around, and his gaze fell on Peng Yue again.

His slightly bent waist straightened instantly, and there was no longer half a smile on his old face, only a cold face.

When facing Kou Ji, he was like an old farmer in the field, but when facing Peng Yue, he was a pawn against the enemy.

The old man took steady steps and walked in front of Peng Yue.

The men who followed the old man surrounded Peng Yue.

And those homeless people who followed Peng Yue to make trouble, but at this moment, he hid far away.

The old man stared at Peng Yue and asked, "You are holding a short knife, who are you going to hurt?" ”

Peng Yue gritted his teeth and did not speak.

The old man shouted coldly: "Before the soldiers and civilians of Baozhou are killed, no one can hurt Engong." Anyone who dares to harm Engong is the mortal enemy of our Baozhou army and people. ”

"Smack!"

The old man slapped Peng Yue hard in the face, and a trace of blood oozed from the corner of Peng Yue's mouth, drowning in his beard.

But he didn't fight back, not because he couldn't fight back, but because he couldn't.

"Smack!"

The old man was another slap in the face.

Three slaps in a row slapped Peng Yue's face, Peng Yue's face slowly swelled, and the short knife in his hand also fell to the ground.

The old man snorted coldly and said, "I thought you didn't hurt Engong, and giving you three slaps is a lesson." What to do with you, that is up to the end. ”
