Lü Bu led his army to leave Shouchun, and along the way ordered the soldiers to take all the young men and women who could be taken captive.

The soldiers scurried around like bandits.

They stormed the village and drove all the men and women out.

If the old man and the child followed, the soldiers didn't ask, but let them follow.

After a day of walking, Lu Bu's team expanded a lot.

As the ranks expanded, the mood of grief permeated and flooded.

It was getting late, and seeing that it was almost Zhongli, Lu Bu glanced back.

There were more and more elderly people and children following the line.

Relatives were taken away, the elderly and children had lost their support, and they could only cry and follow all the way.

Looking back, Lu Bu instructed Zhang Liao: "Wenyuan come with me." ”

Realizing that he was looking at the crowd following behind, Zhang Liao thought that Lu Bu was trying to disperse those old people and children.

He said to Lu Bu: "You don't need Wen Hou to go in person, I'll deal with it." ”

"What are you going to do with it?" Lu Bu asked.

"Let them be dispersed." Zhang Liao replied: "...... who don't listen to persuasion"

"They are all relatives of the men and women we captured." Lu Bu interrupted him: "The relatives have been dispersed, what will the people who are going to Pengcheng with us think?" ”

Zhang Liao was speechless, and he realized that he had misunderstood what Lu Bu meant.

"Wen Hou is going to take them all with you?" Zhao Yun said: "With so many old people and children, a lot of food is consumed. ”

"There is an old man in the family, and there is a treasure." Lu Bu said: "The elderly can unite their families, and the children will eventually grow up. In order to make Xuzhou more prosperous, I will also encourage the people to have children. There are children who are willing to follow us, and of course we have to take them all with us. ”

Given an explanation, Lu Bu rode over to the old man and the children who were following behind the group.

There were many strong people who were captured by them, and there were also many old people and children who followed behind the team.

Lu Bu came with Zhang Liao and a group of soldiers, and the old people and children who didn't know how many people were panicked.

Some old people held the children around them in their arms, and their eyes were full of fear when they looked at Lu Bu.

Stopping in front of the crowd, Lu Bu shouted: "Dare to ask all the folks, you have been following us, do you also want to go to Xuzhou?" ”

Of course, no one answered his question.

People are just following their relatives, who would really want to go to Xuzhou with him?

Telling the truth is against conscience, and lying may lose his head, and of course no one will respond to his question.

"It seems so." Even if people didn't respond, Lu Bu still instructed Zhang Liao with a smile on his face: "Wenyuan, allocate some food, let the fathers and elders have a full meal, and go on the road tomorrow morning." Also, let the soldiers divide some tents, old and young, it's terrible to freeze at night! ”

His words were easy-going, and he also wanted people to bring food to everyone to eat, and the people who thought that they would usher in a catastrophe were suddenly confused.

Zhang Liao glanced at the soldier next to him.

The soldier turned around and left.

Lu Bu then shouted to the crowd: "Don't worry, folks, you are willing to go to Xuzhou with me, and when you get to the place, as long as I don't die of hunger, you will have a bite to eat." ”

After Yuan Shu became emperor, he exploited the people of Huainan deeply.

The people can't even fill their stomachs, and when they see the Huainan army, they hide a little food in each family, for fear of being robbed.

Following the line, the old people and children just subconsciously followed their loved ones.

They never thought that Lu Bu would send food over.

"Wen Hou has an order, distribute food to the villagers at the back of the team, let them have a full meal!" The soldiers who gave the order did not quietly look for the munitions, but shouted loudly as they galloped their horses.

The mournful people in the procession who were shrouded in gloom heard the shouts and stood up one after another.

They had long since discovered that their loved ones were following behind.

Thinking that the road is not close, and I don't know how many old people and children will die on the road even if they are hungry, people feel a burst of pathos in their hearts.

The first soldier who gave the order galloped over, and then the second soldier ordered: "Wen Hou has an order, distribute tents to the villagers, and expose them more deeply, in case it freezes, it will be terrible!" ”

The herald soldiers rode past the crowd, and although the words were cold, every word made the hearts of the people in the team surge with an inexplicable warmth.

Before people could come back to their senses, the third herald ran over again: "Wen Hou has an order, please ask the doctor to go to the rear team quickly and diagnose the old man and the child." It's important to make sure that no one gets sick on the road. ”

People who were still grieving before looked at the old people and children not far from them.

A moment later, more than a dozen carts full of grain headed for the old man and child.

After a while, truckloads of tents were delivered.

Only then did people believe that Lu Bu had really put in food and tents.

When they saw several healers hurrying past under the guidance of the soldiers, the dark clouds that had filled the ranks lifted.

"Thank you Wenhou for your life!" Among the people who received the gift, an old man was the first to kneel.

Immediately after, countless people knelt down.

The men and women who were watching them from a distance also knelt down.

The open field was filled with cries of "Thank you for your life."

Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun and Chen Zhi looked at each other.

They still haven't figured out why the people who still need to be driven away when they leave Shouchun suddenly changed their attitudes.

The people's cries were sincere, and there was no sense of persecution at all.

Zhang Liao and the others were still stunned, and Lu Bu raised his hand and shouted to the crowd: "I know what kind of life you lived in Huainan before. Take you to Xuzhou, some people may think that I am arbitrary, but you don't know that there will be war in Huainan in the near future. ”

He paused, and then shouted: "Cao Cao is coming, I don't know if any of you remember that during the Battle of Xiapi, he broke through Pengcheng, and there were no men, women, and children left!" ”

Unlike 2,000 years later, when information was developed, the people living in Huainan rarely received news from other places.

When Lu Bu mentioned Pengcheng, people looked at him in astonishment.

"I've killed people too, but I want everyone in the world to be safe." Lu Bu looked around at the crowd: "Bring you to Xuzhou, although my wings are not yet full, I still have the strength to protect you." If you're willing to come with me, shout! ”

"Wen Hou is mighty!" Zhang Liao understood Lu Bu's thoughts best, and he raised his arms and shouted loudly.

Immediately afterwards, the call of "Wenhou mighty" rippled in the field.

The shouts echoed in the air for a long time, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of Lu Bu's mouth.

After calming the crowd and attracting people's hearts, he and Zhang Liao turned around and left.

Zhang Liao asked in a low voice: "How did Wen Hou manage to make them change from being forced to migrate to following willingly?" ”

"Let them see the hope of living, that's all." Lu Bu said: "It is not easy to survive in the troubled times, I am willing to give shelter, do they have a better choice?" ”
