Chapter 712: More than 100 people in the city

Murong Lan's eyes widened, and she said, "Go to Pengcheng?" You're not mistaken, didn't they just escape from Pengcheng, we also saw it along the way, thousands of miles of uninhabited, stragglers everywhere, how could these children go back? Besides, didn't Liu Zhong's father and mother let him go to his relatives in Qingzhou. ”

Liu Yu shook his head: "The Central Plains will only be more chaotic now, the land of Huaibei is very chaotic after the Battle of Huaishui, and then when your eldest brother led the army south to the Central Plains a while ago, Ding Lingren robbed everywhere, but now they have gone to Hebei, and there is no large army of chaos." Moreover, the Northern Expedition of the Great Jin Dynasty will be launched soon, and troops will already be transferred to Pengcheng and Huaibei to occupy the advancing base first. When they arrived at Yanzhi and their group, they were going back to Pengcheng, so they could let Liu Zhong and them go to defect. ”

Murong Lan was surprised: "To Yanzhi? Isn't he dead yet? ”

Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Why, didn't you see that at my auction, in order to buy Yan Zhi, you still collided with Xie Yan face to face?" ”

Murong Lan laughed: "I was not there at the time, and I came over later, only to see an ending, so that when they can return to their hometown in Yanzhi, it means that the Jin Dynasty wants to enter the north of the map, first put these people back, let them fort themselves, test the situation in the north, and when the time is ripe, send the vanguard troops to enter with grain and grass to prepare for the arrival of the army." ”

Liu Yu nodded: "Yes, and what I didn't expect is that even the Diao family started the idea of Pengcheng, remember when we came to Pengcheng, we have already started to build a high platform, I don't know what I want to do, if we don't hurry up, I really want to see what new tricks the Diao brothers have." ”

Murong Lan hooked the corners of her mouth: "Liu Yu, are you a little promising, and now you still pay attention to the Diao brothers as opponents, don't you say that you want to do big things all the time." Now that you are already a well-known hero of the Great Jin, the Diao brothers are just middle-class and lower-class families, and they are just the likes of assassination, so you don't need to pay attention to it anymore. ”

Liu Yu sighed: "But the more middle- and lower-class families this kind of, they often occupy the position of state and county assassins, and the parents and officials that the people of the Great Jin Dynasty directly face are these people." Maybe it's because Jingkou has always been an important town, and most of the assassins who came before were children of high-level families, such as the predecessor of Xi Assassin's family, which was the Gaoping Xi family, and then Huan Chong himself guarded it. Diao Kui brothers is the first time I have encountered such a corrupt official who exploits the people, in the past few years in the army and brothers have communicated more, only to know that this kind of talent is a common phenomenon in various places, the Great Jin Dynasty wants to clean up the hearts of the people, go all out to the Northern Expedition, but also let these corrupt officials and corrupt officials less harm the people, in order to be able to work together. ”

Murong Lan laughed: "Then it depends on whether you can make meritorious contributions, get back the jade seal as soon as possible, get back the jade seal, the Northern Expedition of the Jin Kingdom, it is possible to let the meritorious soldiers become officials at the state and county level, Liu Yu, I still have a question, that is, why do you have to bury these corpses, we fight, we rarely bury the enemy's corpses, at most we only bury our own corpses, or burn them to ashes, and bring the ashes back to their hometown." ”

Liu Yu Zhengse said: "The rotting corpses will be infected with epidemics, and after the war, there is often a big epidemic, and the people who have the epidemic will run around, spreading these plagues, a terrible thing, if there is a plague within a few hundred miles, then the people will either die or disperse, and the army will not be able to enter." In my opinion, exposing these heads and rotting corpses to the wilderness is probably a poisonous trick that your eldest brother came up with, wanting to make the Central Plains epidemic epidemic in order to prevent the Jin army and the Qin army from posing a threat to him. ”

Murong Lan's expression became solemn: "I don't have much to say about this, but when the eldest brother ordered this at that time, he just said that he wanted to use this way to deter those who dared to confront Da Yan." But listening to you say that, maybe, maybe he really did what you said. ”

While the two were talking, there was a sound of footsteps in the city, and only the Feng Wang Rui brothers and Liu Zhong came over with forty or fifty yellow-faced and thin-skinned people, they were staggering, and they were struggling to walk, looking as if they had been hungry for several days and had not eaten.

Liu Yu's brows furrowed, and he walked towards the comer, only to see Wang Rui pointing to an old man in his fifties with gray hair and saying: "Mr. Abbas, this is Wu Fangzheng in the city, the officials have all run away, and the people have also fled, leaving only some of their old people who can't run left." ”

Liu Yu nodded, looked at this Wu Fangzheng, and said: "Uncle, we are businessmen on the road, passing by here, we are very surprised, is there really no one in a big city like Xingyang?" ”

Wu Fangzheng shook his head and sighed: "The people who can escape for their lives have run out, leaving us old, weak, sick and disabled, there is no way to go, we can only stay and wait for death, fortunately the Wang family is back after the birth of them, otherwise, I am afraid that we will really die here." ”

Murong Lan's brows furrowed: "Since there is no food in the city, you also know that you are waiting for death, why don't you escape?" Fu Jian is known as benevolent, and it should be better for you to go to Luoyang to join his army than to wait for death here. ”

Wu Fangzheng sighed: "This hero, I'm afraid you don't know, the officers and soldiers in the Central Plains have all gone to Luoyang, a radius of hundreds of miles, full of bandits and stragglers, as well as those hateful Ding Ling people, we haven't escaped to Luoyang, more than 300 people, encountered horse bandits on the road, only a dozen people ran back, and even their young and strong descendants can't go, what can we old men do, only wait for death." ”

Liu Yu's eyes flashed coldly: "These damn Ding Ling dog thieves, I should not have let them go on the battlefield if I knew it, and now it has become a big disaster!" ”

Wang Rui looked at Liu Yu and said strangely: "Mr. Abbas, have you fought with Ding Lingren?" Aren't you all soldiers of the Qin State? ”

Liu Yu immediately realized that he had slipped his mouth, and snorted: "What I said is that in the past, when we were doing business, we robbed Ding Ling Zhai Bin, and our caravan taught them a lesson at that time, and Zhai Bin cried bitterly in front of us, saying that he would never dare to rob and kill people again, so we let him go once." I didn't expect to raise tigers for trouble, which made him the climate, and now it is a scourge to the people. Not to mention this, everyone, please help us to take these heads off the city wall and bury them in this ditch with the corpses, the weather is getting hotter, the corpses do not enter the ground, it is easy to cause a great plague, and when the time comes, if you really get the epidemic, then there is no cure. ”

Wu Fangzheng's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly nodded and said: "I have heard about the skills of the two of you, and it is really a master, it was God who asked you to save us poor people, old guys, what are we waiting for, do it." ”
