Chapter 207: Persecution (6)
Hundreds of homeless people are on the way. In the snow all over the ground, I walked one foot deep and one foot shallow.
These homeless people, including old and weak women and children, seem to be from a village, and their families have fled for the disaster.
Everyone wrapped up all the clothes they could wrap around their bodies, carried large and small packages, and pushed wheelbarrows carrying poor belongings on them, and made a difficult journey south.
The old and weak are in the middle, and each person has a stick in his hand, one to help the way, and the other to protect himself in times of emergency.
Qingzhuang was in the outer circle, looking around vigilantly. Some with shoddy straight knives hanging from their waists, others with hunting bows, others with rudimentary spears, each tensed up for all the dangers that might arise in the snowfield.
The two males of Ma Yi competed, and Wang Rengong stood firm and cleared the wilderness, triggering this southward migration tide in winter.
On the way to the south, I don't know how many people will die in this ice and snow. But staying in Mayi County is a dead end!
The consumption of the lives of these small people has never been in the hearts of those in power. As long as the door of the house does not fall, only the soldiers and horses are still in their hands. Then the small people can be recruited and gathered at any time, the world is so big, how can people die desperately?
Since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the war and massacre, the population has been greatly reduced, the Wuhu invasion, the disaster in the Central Plains, and the troubled times have lasted for hundreds of years, almost cutting off the incense of China. It was so easy to come out of this bloody and chaotic world, and these high-ranking families did not care about the entire world, and threw themselves into another bloody war!
No one knows whether the luck of China will be completely wiped out in the turmoil that ensues!
Suddenly, the team stopped, and everyone had a look of fear on their faces. A white-haired old man who had few teeth left and was sitting on a small cart like dead wood shouted loudly: "Get out of the way, get out of the way!" ”
The homeless people panicked, and they all got out of the way and stepped aside.
The snow and dust were flying, and it was a team of people who drove over.
The group numbered about a few hundred horsemen, each well-dressed and strapped to the saddle. Everyone is wearing a hood, and the red tassels are beating and dazzling. The flags fluttered in the ranks, and the guards were all sturdy men in brocade robes, with splendid costumes and great style.
The large group of men and horses walked very fast, and the mounts were clearly well-fed and well cared for. Compared with the war horses that have lost weight in the two major Yingyang Mansions in Mayi County, they are much more energetic. The horses' hooves are already approaching these displaced people.
Many knights in front had already taken off their bows and arrows, and put the cold and shining arrows on the bowstrings.
The old man staggered out of the car and led everyone in the snow, not daring to raise his head.
A man in brocade ordered loudly: "Get rid of these blind ones, don't block Erlang's road!" ”
The knights shouted their orders and were about to do it. But another knight in brocade came from behind on horseback and said loudly: "Erlang has an order, don't pay attention to these people, hurry up!" ”
When the knights heard this, they withdrew their hands, flicked their horses' heads, let go of the wanderers, and rumbled by.
The horses' hooves splashed countless ice and snow on the heads of the prostrate people, but no one dared to move.
This team of men and horses is the Hedong soldiers. And Li Shimin was also the pioneer, leading the generals and a battalion of cavalry, everyone with two horses, and marched lightly, just to receive Kaiyang as soon as possible.
When the head of the family escorted Li Shimin past these homeless people, Li Shimin, who was dressed in military uniform, couldn't help but turn his head and look at these homeless people.
Next to Li Shimin was the eldest grandson Wuji, who was wearing a fur coat and a fur hat. Seeing that Li Shimin couldn't help but turn his head, he smiled and said, "Erlang, what do you see them doing?" If these people have a big life, they will flee to the east of the river, and they will always have a bite to eat. Now there are many families in Jinyang, all of whom have to run their family business, and what they lack is manpower. I'm afraid that these homeless people will not be enough for each family. Don't worry about their survival! ”
Li Shimin shook his head: "I followed my father everywhere as an official when I was young, whether it was Ping Yang Xuan's troubles, or Yanmen to save the Son of Heaven, I have experienced it. I have seen a lot of dead people, and my heart is not so soft............ I'm just thinking, these people have all returned to their families, what will the court do? ”
The eldest grandson Wuji blinked his eyes, not knowing where to start.
The family was optimistic about Li Yuan and followed Li Yuan to raise troops. Naturally, give them enough benefits. As soon as Li Yuan entered Jinyang, he divided all the Yang family's Tianzi Huangzhuang, and each family was also recruiting displaced people as slaves to expand their family business. These means naturally won the loyalty of the family, and everyone worked hard to build the country. The Li family ran their own family business back then, and they have never been soft!
At that moment, the eldest grandson Wuji could only say: "Hurry up and go to Kaiyang, I don't know where Wang Rengong is, there are any variables." Holding Kaiyang in the palm of your hand, this heart can be regarded as half of it! ”
Li Shimin was just a little emotionally emotional for a while, and now it is indeed important to open the sun. Without looking back at the moment, the horse passed by the homeless.
After a long time, these homeless people raised their heads, breathed a sigh of relief, helped the old and the young, and continued on the road.
No matter how the people on top compete, the people always try to survive!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Outside the city in the clouds, above the defense line of the military wall.
A military general, standing on the wall, looked at the white expanse in front of him. Suddenly, he waved his hand suddenly: "There is another group of homeless people!" Quickly take them into the village and send them to the city! ”
In the military village, the sound of the herald suddenly sounded. More than ten sergeants were ready to open the gate to welcome them out.
A fire captain walked up to the wall, and the escort looked into the distance.
In the snowfield, hundreds of small black shadows appeared, struggling to walk here.
In Mayi County, Wang Rengong was strong and cleared, the displaced people fled, and the defenders along the way, so they were soft-hearted and let them go to Hedong. And some of them who were commanded to be cautious drove them north into the clouds.
The muscles on Huo Chang's face twitched: "The grain and firewood stored in the village are almost exhausted." ”
The general said impatiently: "This is the strict order of Eagle Strike!" ”
The fire chief didn't dare to say anything more, and turned around and went down the wall. The gate of the village opened, and the fire chief and his subordinates went out to bring these hundreds of homeless people into the village.
After the Mayi exiles appeared in the Yunzhong realm, Liu Wuzhou issued a strict order. In any case, accept these people of Mayi.
The general looked back at the clouds, and saw that under the city in the clouds, the ground nest had increased I don't know how much. And Heng'an Eagle marched in and out, transporting supplies and food to the newly established camp outside the city.
Originally, Cloud City was short of food, but now that these displaced people have been added, it seems that it will not be able to support it!
The general muttered to himself.
"Eagle Strike, how long will it last? Just fight with Wang Rengong! Even if we die under Shanyang City, it is better than being starved alive like this! ”
