Gu He replied: "King Anbei doesn't know anything. In recent years, the Qin army has repeatedly invaded, causing heavy casualties among the people and troops in the north. The imperial court was worried that it would be lost sooner or later, so it would not be relieved. Therefore, the seven northern cities are the poorest of all. If the people can eat rice, then it will be considered the New Year... ”

"Usually on the road, you can see people who are about to die. In the county town, wherever there are hidden places, there are also displaced people to rest, and if there is relief from large households, they may be able to live. If there is no relief, it will be as long as half a month, or as short as a few days, and they will die on the streets. ”

"The people are so poor that the county government... How can you fish and meat? Don't hide it from the king of Anbei, the minister has not eaten meat for a year, these dishes are the best courtesy for my county government. ”

As Gu He said slowly, Wei Wuji looked suspicious.

Mu Guiying held a piece of meat and froze it in his mouth.

She swallowed the food she had eaten with difficulty, and said, "Is it really so difficult in the north? ”

"I don't dare to lie."

Mu Guiying put down her chopsticks and said to Wei Wuji: "I have no taste..." ”

"Ahem..."

Wei Wuji didn't expect that the people of Jue County would be so difficult.

He said, "I will play the truth about what you have done." In the shortest possible time, change the status quo of the people. ”

"King Xie Anbei."

"You can step down."

"No."

Gu He turned and left.

Mu Guiying said: "Wuji, why do you have such an attitude towards Lord Gu?" ”

"As the head of a county, don't you have any responsibility to govern the place like this?" Wei Wuji didn't believe in Gu He very much, and had reservations about Gu He's reaction.

Everything will have to wait until the remaining six cities in the north have been inspected before a decision can be made.

If it is only to contribute to the poor, and other cities are rich, then Gu has an unshirkable responsibility.

If the situation is the same, it's a different story.

"Let's eat first."

Wei Wuji's stomach growled with hunger.

Pick up the chopsticks and chop them in large pieces.

...........

Take a day of rest in Jue County.

Wei Wuji toured the city.

Sure enough, I found that in some inconspicuous places, there were homeless people. They were ragged and stinking, wailing and dying.

Wei Wuji ordered Gu He to take out all the food in the county government.

There was also grain in the granary, which was used for soup kitchen.

Distributed to displaced people.

Who expects a drop in the bucket.

Not enough at all.

In order to save these people, Wei Wuji made a decision, Chao Gu He said: "From now on, every two days, you will give porridge once, and you must post a notice to tell the people in the city." In a month, I will settle them properly. Also, immediately set up a camp outside the city, gather all the displaced people, register them, and manage them in a unified manner, so as to not hide everywhere like now. ”

"Yes. The minister will do so. ”

He instructed Gu He to do some things.

Wei Wuji took the people and went straight to Jincheng.

Jincheng was the capital of the northern border of the Wei State, the economic and development center of the seven northern cities, and the most important town to resist the Qin army. Every big war, it has to be fought there.

Walk through the Northern Plains.

Come to the word Wu River.

Wei Wuji stepped out of the carriage and took a sip of water by the Meridian River.

Just as he was drinking, a corpse rushed down from upstream.

There were wounds on the corpses, and blood flowed out, staining the river red.

Wei Wuji almost vomited from nausea...

Mu Guiying exclaimed: "Wuji, look at it!" ”

Everyone looked sideways.

I saw that the upper reaches of the Meridian River were already blood-red, and corpses floated down the river.

Shocking and miserable.

Wei Wuji shouted, "Come with me!" ”

Mu Guiying, Zhao Yun, Li Yuanba, and a team of soldiers.

Follow Wei Wuji to the upper reaches.

From a long distance, I saw an army dressed in black armor on the other side of the Meridian River, slaughtering homeless people and civilians. Judging from their clothing, it can be judged that they are the army of the Qin State.

"Slaughtered the people!" Mu Guiying clenched her fists and snapped.

Li Yuanba also gasped.

Wei Wuji roared: "Order, the whole army crosses the Meridian River and destroys this group of Qin troops!" ”

"No."

Zhao Yun returned to give the order.

"Gui Ying, you go and follow the army behind. Yuanba crossed the river with me first. Wei Wuji spoke, and couldn't wait to jump into the river.

"No, I'm going too." Mu Guiying followed.

Plop, plop...

Li Yuanba put the double hammer on the shore and carried only a long sword.

The long sword was black, blunt and pointless, and had been snatched from the black-clad assassin when Wei Wuji went to the Shang Mansion to announce the decree. It was supposed to be handed over to the Criminal Justice Division as evidence. But Li Yuanba liked it too much, so he was directly secret.

Puff puff...

Wei Wuji swam across the Meridian River, and as soon as he poked his head out, he heard the sound of swords entering flesh in front of him. All those killed were unarmed civilians, as well as homeless people who had no food to eat and were in tatters.

Even these people have to be killed, it's simply inhumane.

"Kill..." Wei Wuji was furious, drew his sword, and rushed into battle.

Mu Guiying and Li Yuanba went ashore and joined the battle.

Burst!

The nearest Qin soldier, armed with a spear, stabbed at the man hiding in the haystack. Wei Wuji struck from behind and cut off his head.

The surrounding Qin army looked like they were all brushing.

When I saw Wei Wuji, Li Yuanba, and Mu Guiying, there were just three of them. I didn't pay attention to it at all. But Wei Wuji killed the Qin soldiers, and they would not let it go.

Suddenly, six people gathered around.

Li Yuanba carried a black long sword, crossed Wei Wuji, and slashed at an enemy soldier. With his divine power, he is very brave, and he can even split a boulder. How can the human body resist it.

The sword easily broke through the armor of the enemy soldier, splitting his entire body in half.

Hiss...

The soldiers around him collectively stopped and were dumbfounded.

The armor they wore was the hardest of all nations, and it could withstand the impact of arrows and swords. But under Li Yuanba's hands, it was like cutting tofu, and it would break when you touched it.

"Die....

Wei Wuji and Mu Guiying also made a move.

Although he doesn't have a weapon at his disposal, he can still kill the enemy with a sword.

Moreover, Mu Guiying's swordsmanship is superb and pervasive.

Li Yuanba's sword is indestructible and powerful.

The enemy who fought them, whether it was a general or a soldier, could not pass the second move. It is often the case that dies when touched, and the injury when rubbed. Within a radius of a few zhang, there was a wail.

Wei Wuji was not far behind, and personally went on the field to kill the enemy.

Puff puff...

The trio joined forces to form a good defense.

Wei Wuji is not afraid of swords and is always ahead.

But with Mu Guiying's protection, no sword could fall on Wei Wuji.

As the battle begins.

It's getting more and more intense.

The surrounding Qin troops all ran over and surrounded the three of them.

"Kill..." Li Yuanba was bloodthirsty and belligerent, and seeing that Wei Wuji was protected by Mu Guiying, he simply left the place and rushed forward to kill. The black iron sword slashed out, taking the lives of enemy soldiers in succession.

It didn't matter if he rushed this way, he disrupted all the enemy's formations.

Originally, they were all fighting together, but now they have become individual combat.

Wei Wuji said: "Gui Ying, you don't have to worry about me. Kill the enemy quickly. These enemies are heinous and cannot be let go. ”

"Yes."

Mu Guiying knew that Wei Wuji was wearing a mysterious armor on his body, and even if he was stabbed by a sword, he would be unscathed. In the face of these Qin soldiers, there is no need to worry at all.

He should be under Wei Wuji.

Go and help Li Yuanba.

Wei Wuji was not idle, frantically attacking and killing the surrounding enemy soldiers.

.........

Time passed quickly.

Xiang Yu, Gao Shun and others led the army to cross the Meridian River, divided the army, and surrounded the enemy.

"Lord, what are you going to do with these people?" Xiang Yu asked.

"Kill them all!"

"Yes..." After receiving Wei Wuji's order, Xiang Yu ordered to kill all the Qin troops who were surrounded. Even if you are willing to surrender, you will not be allowed.

The people who were hiding in the shadows slowly came out.

They recognized the clothing of the Wei army and knew that it was the Wei army that came to their rescue. Suddenly, as if he had seen a relative, he prostrate on the ground to thank and cry.

Wei Wuji didn't say a word.

After standing in place for a while, he turned around and said, "Leave the food for those homeless people, and let's go to Jincheng." ”

"No."

Zhao Yun personally went to arrange this matter.

All the food that the sergeants carried, they were collected.

Paid per capitation.

Afterwards...

The army quickened its march and reached Jincheng.

"In the end, it is the capital of the north, and it is much more prosperous than Jue County..." Standing outside Jincheng, Mu Guiying sighed.

"It's really prosperous."

Wei Wuji carefully observed and found that the city defense of Jincheng was solid, three zhang high, two zhang thick, the moat was bottomless, three zhang wide, and the ordinary flying bridge could not be crossed.

It is no wonder that the north has repeatedly encountered strong enemies, but it has not fallen.

Sitting on such a city, it only takes a small number of troops to hold on.

Jincheng County ordered Guo Ping and Captain Zhao Ran to lead a cadre of civil and military officers to meet him.

Wei Wuji shouted: "Don't welcome it, go to the city guard mansion." ”

The tone is very unkind.

Guo Ping and Zhao Ran were confused, and they didn't know where they learned about Wei Wuji.

The situation in Jincheng is very different from the rest of the world.

There are a lot of people here, and they are very neatly dressed.

The market was full of people, and there was not a single homeless person in sight.

However...

Wei Wuji was in a bad mood.

From the moment I entered the north, I saw all the way that I was miserable. On the border near Jincheng, there were still Qin troops who infested and slaughtered the people. In this case, the Jincheng garrison turned a blind eye.

No matter how prosperous Jincheng is, no matter how many people there are, it will lose the hearts of the people.

Arrived at the castle guard's house.

Wei Wuji didn't say anything else, let Guo Ping send some food first.

Just half an hour.

He set a large table.

Chicken, duck, fish, everything, as well as fairy wine imported from Chu.

There aren't many of these things that don't even have a lot in Daliang City.

In this small town, you can take out a bottle.

Wei Wuji flipped through the dishes on the table with his chopsticks, then put down the chopsticks and said coldly, "Lord Guo, are you guilty?" ”

"The subordinate officer did not know what crime he had committed. Please also ask the king of Anbei to speak clearly. Guo Ping looked respectful, but his face was frightened.

Zhao Ran on the side never understood.

Why did Wei Wuji come to Jincheng with a straight face.

It's as if you're owed money.

"The people in Juexian, Shicheng, Yangcheng and other areas are hungry and dying. I passed by there, and they had been preparing for a long time before they came up with a meat and a vegetable, and I was angry at the county for this, but when I saw the people in the streets, displaced, and fainting from hunger, I forgave them for their rudeness. But you Jincheng... As the capital of the North, I don't know where to help? If you eat and drink like this, if you use it to help the people, how many people can be saved? Wei Wuji asked.

"The lower official is guilty."

Guo Ping was speechless to refute.

"And you..." Wei Wuji looked at Zhao Ran: "You are the captain of Jincheng, you have soldiers and horses in your hands, and it is your duty to protect the territory and the people." Why did you turn a blind eye to the entry of the Qin army. Don't you know that he is slaughtering the people? ”

"The last will be convicted." Zhao Ran didn't want to save it, but he didn't dare to save it.

The Qin army was too fierce, and the soldiers of the Wei State were defeated in nine out of ten battles.

With the strength of Jincheng, it is not easy to hold Jincheng, how can you divide the troops out of the city.

In case the Qin army sent iron cavalry to attack Jincheng and cause Jincheng to be lost, he would have ten heads, which would not be enough to cut off.

"Today I have just arrived, and I have bypassed you, but you will make amends." Wei Wuji said.

"Please ask King Anbei to command, I will do my best..."

"Go and prepare 5,000 stone of grain, which I will use to help the victims. In addition, a notice was posted to let the displaced people from all the cities in the north gather in Jincheng. Speaking of Jincheng, porridge and esophagus are enough. Wei Wuji said.

"The subordinate obeys."

Guo Ping arched his hand.

"King Qiqi Anbei, the Qin army has invaded from time to time, in case they come again..." Zhao Ran said.

"You don't have to worry about that. With me here, the Qin army did not dare to be presumptuous. Wei Wuji instructed Xu Chu to take the Black Armor Army to inspect the northern border, and asked Cheng Yanjin to assist.

Order Xiang Yu, Gao Shun, and Wang Ping to redeploy the cities.

Jincheng, in particular, must be foolproof.

............

Two days later.

The displaced people from all over the northern border all knew the good news that Wei Wuji was going to give porridge. In order to survive, all of them rushed to Jincheng. As long as they reach Jincheng, they will be able to live.

The officials and local garrisons of the cities also received orders from Wei Wuji.

Escort the people to the Golden City.

"Mowgli, let me guess what you're thinking right now." In the Jincheng Mansion, Mu Guiying was lying on the desk, staring at Wei Wuji opposite without blinking.

"What was I thinking?"

"Mowgli is thinking..." Mu Guiying said with a smile: "The northern border is sparsely populated, how can you form an army." It just so happens that the homeless people are here, and they are the best source of soldiers. This soup kitchen, relief to the people, will make them grateful to Dade and rush to join the army. If we form an army, we don't have to worry. ”

Hey?

Wei Wuji raised his head slightly and said with a smile: "Gui Ying, how do you know I'm thinking about this?" ”

"Because I know Mowgli."

"Hehe..."

Wei Wuji smiled: "You're still smart." But let me tell you, I don't do it all about expanding my military power by relieving the homeless. It's that I really can't see it. ”

"Oh? I thought... It's a stratagem. ”

"It's okay to talk about strategy, but it's okay to say it's kind. Anyway, as the king of Anbei, I am responsible for the people of the north. Not only to protect the territory, but also to secure the people. Wei Wuji wrote a notice and handed it to Mu Guiying: "Take it and paste it at the gate of the city." ”。

"What is this?"

"Anmin notice." Wei Wuji got up and said, "I promise the people of the north that from now on, we, the Wei army, will not fight a defeated battle again!" All the people had clothes to wear and to eat. If I can't do it, the self below, all military law is engaged! ”
