The circumstances of life are unpredictable, just like the strange and splendid miasma of Weidong Mountain.

Once again, he fled into the mountains and forests of the eastern part of Weishan Mountain, and Duan Xiaobox's identity changed from the commander of the Southern Army of the Tang Dynasty to the general of the escort army of Mrs. Yuanzhen of Nanzhao. The only constant is that he is always on the run.

General Li Mi led an army of 70,000 to attack Nanzhao, and their team of soldiers abandoned by the Tang Dynasty were unwilling to fight against the Tang army. When they got on the road, they also sent people to inform them early, so that they could avoid their edges, hide in the mountains and forests, and preserve their strength.

Yuanzhen's wife, Feng Yao, followed the advice of Lu Li, stored grain in the mountains and forests of the eastern Weishan Mountain, and set up a camp. Before Li Mi's army reached Bolong River, Feng Yao took the men, women, and children of the White Barbarian Tribe, and fled into the mountains and forests. Miasma will be a powerful barrier to protect them.

There is no need to meet the Tang army, so that the thousands of soldiers who have fallen into Nanzhao breathe a sigh of relief. General Li Mi played a triumphant song all the way, and the soldiers pointed directly at Yamato City, but it made everyone's hearts mixed, and it was difficult to be happy. Countless soldiers have married wives and had children on this land, and this land is their hometown.

Although it was a warm and warm April, the mountains of Weidong Mountain were unusually cold. Duan Xiaojiao stood on a high mountain rock, looking at the east with his eyes stupid, and in the biting cold wind, he seemed to be faintly able to hear the shouts and fights of the soldiers on both sides.

In his current position, what are he and what are his brothers? Duan Xiaobox's heart was at a loss.

Feng Ge stepped forward and gently draped the old red cloak on Duan Xiaobox's body.

"Feng Ge! I'm not your hero at all. In this situation, I have always felt in my heart that I should do something to stop this senseless war, but I can do nothing but run away uselessly. ”

Duan Xiaojian turned his head, very depressed.

"His Majesty the Tang Sage came to attack our Nanzhao for no reason, and he didn't want us to live, so we fled if we couldn't fight. There is no shame in this, we live, even if we live, it will be considered a victory. ”

Feng Ge disagreed, and slapped the small box twice comfortingly.

"Run away, I'm a small box, I'm so fucking aggrieved!" Duan Xiaojiao shouted unwillingly, and sat on the rock, hanging his head.

"Don't be aggrieved here, my sister sent you to go, and there are important matters to discuss." Feng Ge pulled up the small box and walked towards the cave where Feng Yao lived.

The cave is cleaned and tidy, with a layer of straw mats and some daily utensils, which looks like some home. However, coupled with the guards who were fully armed and had solemn faces, Feng Yao, who was sitting on the stone platform, had the demeanor of a female mountain king.

Seeing her sister Feng Ge walking in with Duan Xiaobox, Feng Yao's frowning brows let go slightly, and she tried to squeeze out a smile.

"Thanks to my younger brother who made arrangements for me early, otherwise this time the war disaster, my white barbarian clan would not know what heavy losses they would have suffered. Thanks to the small box you led the troops to maintain, there has been no mess during this period of time. ”

"We and other displaced sergeants, thanks to the wife to take in, have a place to live. Now that the brothers and the white barbarians are integrated, it is difficult to distinguish each other, why should the lady see outside. ”

Duan Xiaojiao bowed and saluted, respecting Feng Yao very much.

Feng Yao glanced at her sister Feng Ge and Duan Xiaobox, smiled slightly, and was not polite. Looking worriedly out of the cave, he let out a long sigh.

"Alas! My brother told me to take my tribesmen up the mountain for refuge, leaving not a single grain or livestock behind. said that the Tang army was far away

At this point, if there is a long-term shortage of food, it will retreat. At present, the Tang army has no sign of retreat, and our clansmen in the mountains are getting more and more difficult. ”

"The strategy offered by Lord Lu, the art of war, called the strong wall and clear the wilderness, is very effective against the strong enemy who comes from the expedition. It's just that Li Mi, the commander of the Tang Army, is very old and ruthless. He kept finding out the hidden villages, and instead of killing the inhabitants, he destroyed the farmland and drove them to the area around Yamato Castle, forcing them to come and consume the food in the city. When the time comes, both sides will have food, and it will be up to who can hold out to the end. ”

Duan Xiaojiu explained in a timely manner, and admired Li Mi, the commander of the Tang Dynasty, very much.

"I'm afraid, it's us who can't hold on." Feng Yao's brows were almost twisted.

"Madame is kind-hearted, not only sent people around to take in those lonely and helpless people, but also distributed a lot of food to help the displaced people in Yamato City. However, in this way, the grain stored in the mountains may not last long. ”

Duan Xiaojiao had a headache, but he couldn't think of anything for a while.

"That's a living life, can I see death and not save it? I had no choice but to ask my brother for help. "Women are helpless and want to rely on their men.

"Master Lu is full of wisdom, maybe he can help everyone resolve this difficulty." Duan Xiaobin echoed.

"The two of them, Zangsi and Zhuge Fengxian, volunteered and prepared to go to Chang'an for help. But for the two of them, I was a little relieved. It also takes a brave, resourceful, prudent and loyal person to lead the team. You see, who should be sent? ”

Feng Yao looked at Duan Xiaojian fixedly.

Duan Xiaojiu still didn't understand Feng Yao's intentions at this time, with Feng Ge's concern, it was impossible for him to go and not go. So he bowed down and begged: "The last general is willing to go, and he must live up to his mission and deliver the news to Lord Lu." ”

Since last year, floods and droughts have occurred one after another, and there has been a great famine in the Guanzhong area. Xuanzong was worried that the rain continued to hurt the crops in the field, and Yang Guozhong took the good people of the seedlings and offered them, and said: "Although there is a lot of rain, it does not harm the crops." Fufeng (now Fengxiang, Shaanxi) is too guarded by the house management to say that the flood in the department, even if the national loyalty is pushed by the imperial history, no one in the world dares to talk about the disaster.

Jing Zhaoyi Li Xian was demoted from Chang'an, and Yang Guozhong, who also served as Jing Zhaoyi, had no intention of managing such trivial matters as grain prices. The price of food in Chang'an City has soared again.

If you are not a saint on the road, it is impossible to take out your hoarded grain to stabilize the price of grain. Even if he takes it out, Chang'an City has a population of more than one million, and how long can it be supported. What's more, if you take it out, you won't necessarily get the food into the hands of ordinary people, and you will take a great risk.

"Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road"

Seeing the influx of more and more hungry people fleeing the famine in Chang'an City, he passed by and whispered a poem from his master's best friend Du Fu, shaking his head and sighing. The son-in-law of the richest man in the Tang Dynasty, and there is a lady at home who is very capable of managing money, which can be regarded as a small Zhumen jade household. smiled bitterly, but was helpless.

When I returned home, I heard that three old people had arrived. Rushing over to take a look, Duan Xiaobox and the other three people, just like the fleeing starving people, were in rags and eating their food.

"What's going on, look at the three of you, like starving ghosts reincarnated."

I couldn't help but roll my eyes when I was on the road.

"Lord Lu! The three of them will not starve to death. If there is no help, many people will soon starve to death in the mountains and forests in the eastern part of Weishan. ”

Duan Xiaojiao put down the dishes and chopsticks and looked at the road with an anxious face.

I was very surprised when I got there

Different, didn't I let Sister Feng Yao reserve food early, how could I starve to death?

"What the hell is going on?" Lu asked anxiously.

Duan Xiaojiu told the situation of Nanzhao, and stared at the road with anticipation.

"This General Li Mi Li is an amazing wise general. Now that the Five Poisons Sect has helped him open the way in front of him and inquire about the news, he is afraid that there will be more and more villages if he is found out. With Sister Feng Yao's bodhisattva-like heart, she naturally won't ignore it. Come to think of it, the towering mountains and forests are no longer sustainable. ”

Lu Lu covered his chin and thought for a while.

"Master Lu has a good plan to resolve this crisis." Duan Xiaojiao couldn't help but ask.

"If you don't eat, you starve. Naturally, it is necessary to transport the grain over in a hurry, so there is no good plan. He patted his sleeves on the road, threw off the three of them, and rushed to Wang Liuli.

"Transporting food to support Nanzhao? It's a betrayal of Datang! Wang Liuli was taken aback, a little incredulous.

"What is Datang and what is Nanzhao? People are those people, and people are those people. It's just that one head is the Tang Dynasty sage Xuanzong Li Longji, and the other head is Nanzhao Wang Ge Luofeng. ”

After passing away, he replied disapprenously.

"When did you become a saint when you got along, I think you obviously want to help your princess Vanilla of Nanzhao." Wang Liuli shook off a sour tone.

"This! Naturally, I'm a little bit selfish. Speaking of this, he whispered in Wang Liuli's ear, "You don't know, the son born to me and Vanilla was secretly replaced by Feng Jiayi, the crown prince of Nanzhao, and became the eldest grandson of King Nanzhao." ”

"Ahh Wang Liuli shouted excitedly, "Lang Jun! What exactly do you want to do? ”

"I can't say it, I will change the sky for Nanzhao in the future. This Datang sky also has to be changed to put it on the right path. "The sound is not loud, but it is arrogant.

Wang Liuli looked at the direction of the Houzhai Academy with understanding, and was shocked.

"This hope is too slim."

"Yes! There is naturally hope. No, there is no hope. Now, regardless of anything else, we will do our best to transport the food over and support them through the difficulties. ”

I waved my hand very imposingly.

Wang Liuli seemed to be impressed by the momentum of her own Langjun, and became a little submissive, nodding again and again. I was a little reluctant to stare at the road: "What about you?" Are you going to Nanzhao again? ”

"Of course!" After saying it in a resolute tone, he hugged Wang Liuli in his arms apologetically.

Zheng Hui has served as the county magistrate of Xilu County for less than half a month, and he has been tossed and burned. The Tang army commander in front kept begging for military rations, and in the county town, countless refugees came to cry at the gate of the county government. This seventeen-year-old young county magistrate lost the smile he should have on his face early.

"Open the grain depot and divide it out to help the refugees." Zheng Hui made a difficult decision.

"The military will soon send people to seal the grain depot, and when the time comes, how will the army explain there?" Hu Xiaoyun said worriedly.

"Hurry up and open a warehouse to release grain before the army blockade, and the army side, I will deal with it." Zheng Hui was thinking about the countermeasures in his mind, and waved his hand firmly to Hu Xiaoyun.

At this time, a large amount of grain was escorted by the road, and they also rushed to Xilu County.
