Liu Heng grinned and said, "Speaking of which, Fourth Brother, your martial arts are not as strong as mine." You are not afraid of those outcasts, how can I be afraid of them. ”

Cao Tong nodded approvingly: "If something bad really happens, the two of us can also take my servants and guards to fight a bloody way and take you out." ”

Kou Ji saw that Liu Heng and Cao Tong had made up their minds, so he didn't say anything more.

The three of them sat on the beds in the tent, quietly waiting for the dawn.

In fact, when Kou Ji was at the south city gate, when he heard that the homeless people at the north city gate began to make trouble, he should decisively take Liu Heng and Cao Tong into the city.

In this way, the displaced people will of course get out of control.

But the lives of all three of them were saved.

It would be foolish to sit here and wait for danger to come now.

But Ko Ji knew that it was a stupid thing to do, but he did it anyway.

He was probably unwilling to see these homeless people storm under the city wall and be shot to death by the soldiers of the forbidden army on the city wall.

So he didn't want to wait until the last minute, he didn't want to give up on the homeless.

Regarding his life and death, Kou Jizhi didn't worry too much.

He has a dumb tiger to defend himself, and when his life is at stake, he can let the dumb tiger take him away.

Dumb Tiger alone will definitely not be able to defeat tens of thousands of homeless people, but he can hide with Kou Ji so that no one can find it.

This is also one of the skills of the dumb tiger.

Even if the dumb tiger can't be trusted, he can still escape into the Ruisheng Garden not far behind him to hide and survive.

Now that there are more Liu Heng and Cao Tong, the dumb tiger naturally can't rely on it, but he can still take Liu Heng and Cao Tong to avoid trouble through Ruisheng Garden.

The three of them sat until the fourth watch.

Liu Heng figured out the tent alone, found someone from the Imperial City Division to take three long knives, and brought them in.

He took a piece of bluestone, dipped it in water, and sharpened his knife there.

Although the three long knives had already been sharpened, he still felt that he still needed to sharpen them before he could become faster.

Kou Ji had a plan, but he didn't stop Liu Heng's behavior.

Until the time of the day.

Kou Ji let out a long sigh and said, "The two armies of Tianwu and Zhuji have probably entered the city at this time, right?" Now it should have begun to erect bows, crossbows, stones and other objects on the city walls of Bianjing. ”

Liu Heng snorted and handed the sharpened long knife to Kou Ji.

Kou Ji took the long knife, tried the sharpness of the long knife, and said to Liu Heng and Cao Tong: "Actually, you two don't need to do this, you still have a chance to leave now, you can leave here openly in the name of escorting grain and grass." ”

Cao Tong weighed the long knife handed over by Liu Heng on the side, and laughed softly: "Our brother, we shouldn't say such a bad thing. ”

Kou Ji shook his head with a smile.

Seeing that the exhortation was fruitless, Kou Ji stopped admonishing.

He walked to the tent door, lifted a corner of the tent curtain with his long knife, and looked out.

Outside, there were several figures, hiding in the shadows, staring at his tent.

……

At the South City Gate.

In front of the city gate building.

Li Di climbed the battlement, looked at the black and oppressive figure of the homeless outside, and closed his eyes in pain.

With a desire for life, those homeless people rushed to Bianjing City day and night, just to ask for a mouthful of life-saving food, but Li Di couldn't give it to them.

The more and more the displaced people gathered, the more they gathered.

Gradually, they gathered together under the city walls.

They were even more miserable than the first group of displaced people, and among the first batch of displaced people, there were still people who had wheelbarrows, flat poles, baskets, pots and pans, etc., and they had nothing but clothes to protect them from the cold.

Among them, men are the majority, followed by the elderly, and the rest are half-grown boys, and half-grown girls are very few.

They raised their dirty cheeks and, with what little strength they had left, shouted at the walls.

Pray that Li Di can open the door, let them enter Bianjing, and beg for a mouthful of food to eat.

Li Di could only watch in pain.

At first, the outcasts were just pleading.

After seeing that he was indifferent to the plea, he began to scold, scolding Kou Zhun, Li Di, and the princes in the court.

All the people in the court who could remember the names of the homeless people, they all scolded them.

There were even people in the crowd scolding Zhao Zhen.

The soldiers of the forbidden army on the city wall heard someone insulting Zhao Zhen, and they were ready to shoot these unscrupulous guys with bows and crossbows with cold faces.

was stopped by Li Di.

Li Di did not make a superfluous explanation, but just instructed the soldiers of the forbidden army that the soldiers of the forbidden army must not take the lead before the displaced people did not choose to attack Bianjing.

The homeless people in the city saw that the abuse was fruitless, and some old people who were determined to die were surrounded to the front.

When Li Di saw those old people, he felt as uncomfortable as if someone had pinched his heart.

He was no longer silent, he stared at the old people under the city and shouted, "Retreat! ”

The old people did not retreat under Li Di's reprimand.

Instead, he stared at Li Di on the city wall, and said in a lamented voice: "If the court thinks that we old guys are redundant, we can cut ourselves off and just ask the court to give the dolls a mouthful of food to eat."

They are young and strong, and the court can still use them.

It's like raising a herd of livestock. ”

The old people's words are humble.

But for Li Di, every word is heartfelt.

Li Di's old face turned red, but he couldn't say a word.

He has been an official for decades, and he has heard many sarcastic words and countless insults.

But there is no sentence that can be more powerful and more damaging than these words spoken by the old people.

After the old men finished speaking, they banged their heads under the city walls.

After kowtowing, they resolutely rushed to the city wall.

"Don't!"

Li Di shouted loudly, but he couldn't stop anyone.

They slammed into the walls with all their might.

Then one by one, like rootless weeds, fell limply to the ground.

Li Di's eyes were bloodshot, tears couldn't stop rolling down, and he opened his mouth wide, but he couldn't shout.

When some soldiers of the forbidden army saw this scene, they secretly wept.

People's hearts are flesh and blood, and no one sees this scene without weeping.

Even if it is the soldiers of the forbidden army who are used to seeing the killing field.

Li Di raised his head, not daring to look at the city again, he was afraid that he would be soft-hearted, and opened his mouth to let the exiles into the city.

His heart had already been shattered into pieces with the death of those old men.

The displaced people tried their best to open the gates.

In the end, they can only resort to the most drastic means.

Try your best to climb the city wall and break down the city gates.

In their eyes, it's about survival.

In the eyes of the soldiers of the forbidden army on the city wall, this is called siege.

The tenth general on the right side of the Japanese army said to Li Di, who was tilting his head: "Li Xiang, the displaced people have attacked the city......

Li Di said with tears in his eyes: "Do they have siege equipment in their hands, they can't climb the city at all, and they can't break through the gateway to Bianjing City, how can they be considered a siege?"

Just let the soldiers disperse them. ”

The right ten generals of the right wing of the Japanese army gritted their teeth and agreed, and began to order the soldiers of the forbidden army to prepare to start.

"Boom...... Rumble ......"

Just as the soldiers of the forbidden army were bending their bows and arrows, ready to shoot a few homeless people and deter the others, the sound of horses' hooves sounded.

The sound of horses' hooves was loud, and it seemed that quite a few horses were running at the same time.

It immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The displaced people gave up the siege and gathered in panic.

Some even began to flee in embarrassment.

When the sound of horses' hooves approached.

People took advantage of the light of the day, which had just dawned, to see a procession appear on the horizon.

It was a convoy, a convoy that stretched for more than five miles.

There were thousands of people in the convoy.

A thousand of them were on horseback, brandishing knives in their hands, and were running around the convoy.

More than 2,000 people, armed with knives, stood guard on both sides of the convoy.

There are also a thousand people, who are responsible for driving the car.

If you look closely, you will see that the thousand people who drove the car were wearing the clothes of the forbidden soldiers.

"Grain?!"

Li Di stared at the marijuana bag on the horses in the convoy and shouted in surprise.

Whether the sack contained grain or not, he thought it was.

"Hurry up and ask who they are?"

Li Di urged the Japanese army to hold the right side of the ten generals.

The right ten generals of the right compartment of the Japanese army immediately let people release arrows.

But there was no response.

The homeless people under the city walls also felt that the carts were loaded with food, so their eyes were very hot when they stared at the convoy.

Someone rushed to the convoy in desperation.

The men in the convoy who were riding horses and wielding knives immediately stopped their horses.

"Array!"

Someone in the convoy shouted.

The men on horseback immediately formed a charging formation.

The men guarding the sides of the convoy, holding their knives tightly, guarded the sides of the convoy.

The man who stood at the forefront across the horse shouted: "Go back, otherwise you will be killed." ”

However, the hungry outcasts will listen to him.

They rushed to the convoy without hesitation.

The man who was standing at the forefront across the horse had a cold look at him and wanted to order him to be killed.

An old voice sounded behind him, "Use the back of the knife to knock you out, don't make trouble for Engong." ”

The man who was standing at the forefront across the horse was stunned, nodded, and ordered: "Change the back of the knife......"

The men on horseback changed the back of their knives and slashed at the homeless people who rushed forward.

The displaced people who rushed to the convoy were cut to the ground one after another, holding their arms and shoulders one by one, wailing on the ground.

Some of the homeless were slashed with the back of a knife, and blood flowed out, but it was not life-threatening.

A thousand men on horseback did not take a step back in the face of the onslaught of tens of thousands of homeless people.

Not only that, but also rushed forward dozens of feet.

If Li Di hadn't sent people out of the city in time to stop both sides, I am afraid that a thousand men on horseback would have been able to kill through the ranks of the homeless people.

After separating the soldiers from the homeless and the men on horseback, a general of the forbidden army stared at the convoy and shouted, "What is the food on your car? ”

An old figure appeared in front of the Forbidden Army General, and said with an indifferent smile: "It's food!" ”

The general of the forbidden army was shocked, and sent someone to quickly pass the news to Li Di.

Li Di got the news, and immediately led people down the city wall and out of Bianjing City, he sent people to appease the displaced people, telling them that the life-saving food given to them by the imperial court had arrived, and he ran to the front of the convoy.

Rushing to the front of the convoy, Li Di asked loudly: "What is your car loaded with food?" ”

The old man standing in front of the convoy smiled and said, "It's the grain ......"

Li Di said in tears: "Great...... With your food, these victims will be saved. ”

"Quickly escort the grain into the warehouse!"

Li Di instructed the old man.

The old man shook his head and said, "We can't give you food." ”

Li Di was stunned when he heard this, and said angrily: "The old man is Li Di, the governor of the government!" ”

The old man was stunned, bowed to Li Di, and still shook his head and said, "Our food can't be given to you." ”

Li Di roared angrily: "The old man is now going to requisition your food, do you dare to comply?" ”

The old man didn't speak, but the men on horseback behind him, as well as the men guarding the grain carts, gave Li Di an answer.

They stood on both sides of the convoy and made a desperate stance.

Seeing this, Li Di gritted his teeth and said, "The imperial court will compensate you according to twice the market price." ”

The old man still shook his head and said seriously to Li Di: "We originally planned to transport these grains to Bianjing City to sell, but on the way, we heard that Engong was in trouble, so we planned to send these grains to Engong."

We will not give this grain to anyone except Engong. ”

Li Di scolded: "Could it be that the lives of hundreds of thousands of people are not as important as your father-in-law?" ”

The old man shook his head firmly, "No! ”

Li Di was almost not angry with the old man.

He gritted his teeth and immediately ordered to grab food for the soldiers of the forbidden army.

One day, the general of the martial army recognized the old man, and hurriedly ran to Li Di's side and said, "Li Xiang, they should be from Baozhou." ”

"Baozhou?"

Li Di was stunned.

The general nodded and said, "I found that a few of them are familiar, they are soldiers of the Baosai Army. ”

"Paspans?"

Li Di's eyes fell on the old man and asked, "Who is your father-in-law?" ”

The old man didn't hide it, and said, "Little Kou Gong Kou Ji ......"

Li Di didn't know what to say for a moment.

I want to be angry, but I can't get angry.

I want to laugh, but I can't.

With a complicated expression, he instructed his entourage: "Go to the North City Gate and summon Kou Ji over." ”

The retinue agreed, and rushed to the north gate of the city.

Not long after, a man from his retinue rushed back.

He said with a bitter face: "The Ministry of Kou Gong can't come now...... He was already surrounded by the victims. ”

Li Di was a little stunned when he heard this.

When the old man heard this, he was anxious, and he shouted to the men on horseback behind him: "Patrol the horses, go and protect Engong quickly." ”

The men agreed in unison, and rode their horses to the north gate.

The old man took the others and drove the convoy to the north gate.

Li Di wanted to stop, raised his hand, opened his mouth, but didn't say a word.

The amount of food sent by the old man and the others was not small, enough for the homeless people outside the north city gate, and the homeless people who had just arrived outside the south city gate, to eat for several days.

The grain was delivered to the north gate, and he pulled it from the north gate, but it took a little more work.

But if he dares to forcibly keep the convoy, looking at the old man's posture, it is estimated that he will fight with him.

The old man drove away the soldiers of the forbidden army who were driving the car, and let his people drive the car and quickly rushed to the north city gate.
