Ma Tengjun did not appear, which made Guan Yu and Zhao Yun, who were holding back their anger, very angry, but for Lu Bu and Gao Shun, they breathed a sigh of relief. After all, if they fight in such a situation, even if they have absolute confidence in their troops, there is no guarantee that they will be able to protect many civilians. And if these people fled in all directions because of panic at that time, it would definitely be a very terrible consequence for Li Yijun.

On the edge of the Weishui, countless people sat on the shore casually, their faces covered with dust, and many of them even more exhausted. But they didn't seem to care about it, and some even had excited expressions on their faces. This kind of look is very different from the numb, helpless, and dazed look that originally appeared on their faces.

Because along the way, Lu Bu and Gao Shun kept sending people to appease and encourage them, and at the same time told them that Wushuang Hou Li Yi would not only accept them, but also settle them well, so that they could have food, housing, land and even money to spend! From now on, live a happy and stable life.

It may sound like just a matter of water and moon, but for these people today, just a slogan is enough to make them excited. As for whether it can be realized? They don't even think about it, because they have nothing left, and even if they are deceived, isn't it still the same?

What they need now is just a hope for life, a hope for life. It may be a little incomprehensible, but how can you experience the excitement of seeing the light of day if you have never experienced the misery of being at the end of the road?

And most importantly, the person who gave them this hope was Li Yi! That unparalleled Marquis Li Yi, who has a world-renowned reputation and prestige, and more importantly, has taken in countless homeless people! You must know that not long ago, a large number of people left Zuo Fengyi, Hongnong or Jing Zhaoyin and other places to go to Li Yi's rule.

However, in addition to hope, Lu Bu and Gao Shun also gave these people a lot of practical things. For example, to be full, for example, to send military doctors to treat those sick people for free, and so on.

In a makeshift military tent, Lu Bu, Gao Shun and others were discussing here.

"But in two days, the loss of food and medicinal materials is so great......" Lu Bu said in disbelief as he looked at the statistics in his hand.

"This is also normal, after all, the people on both sides of the strait have exceeded 500,000 people now......" Gao Shun shook his head and sighed, and then said with some fear, "If it weren't for the large number of troops under our command, we prepared a lot of grain and grass early, I'm afraid it would be ......."

Because of Duan Xuan's surrender, Gao Shun's troops have exceeded 120,000. And Lu Bu's side also because of Yang Xiu's help, after breaking through Huayin, he captured a large number of enemy supplementary troops. So that the two armies together now have more than 250,000 troops.

Of course, if the standard set by Li Yi in the past is followed, I am afraid that most of the 250,000 troops will have to be kicked out. However, Lu Bu and Gao Shun considered the possibility of encircling Chang'an, and whether it was Linjin or Huayin, there was a large amount of grain and grass to support them. And the most important thing is that if so many troops are disbanded, there will be all kinds of problems that may arise, so they will bring them directly.

Because of this, they carried a large amount of grain and grass. If it was only the original tens of thousands of troops, I am afraid that in the face of these more than 500,000 refugees, whether it is Gao Shun or Lu Bu, they will have to die of sorrow, right? However, even so, Lu Bu and Gao Shun were still extremely worried, after all, the number of soldiers and civilians had gone straight to 800,000...... And their food was prepared for more than 200,000 people.

"The people must be sent away immediately, otherwise it won't be long before our army will fall into a situation where there is no food to eat." Lu Bu said in a deep voice.

"Well, but where to send these people? Henan Yin? Gao Shun groaned when he heard this, and then turned his head to look at Lu Bu. No matter how you look at it, it seems that sending these people to Henan Yin is the best choice.

After all, only there is enough place to accommodate these people. Speaking of which, this is thanks to Dong Zhuo, because when he left, he did not have a fire to burn Luoyang and the surrounding counties and townships. If Dong Zhuo had been like Ma Teng now, and had burned everything down with a fire, then Li Yi would not have the idea of fighting Henan Yin at all.

"Just go to Henan Yin! I have already arranged for Yuan Zhi to go back and make arrangements, and I think that by the time the people arrive, he has already arranged everything. Lu Bu nodded and said.

"Hmm...... In this way, it is easy to do, and the people can enter the Yellow River directly through Weishui by water, which can not only save a lot of time, but also save a lot of food. Gao Shun groaned when he heard this.

"I'm afraid that food can't be saved, the number of these people is too much, and the fields on the Yin side of Henan have been abandoned for a long time, and it will take a certain amount of time to reclaim them. Coupled with the lord's decree, for at least two to three years, these people can only rely on us to provide for them. Lu Bu shook his head and sighed when he heard this.

"Lu Fujun, can't you give these people some food and let them live on their own?" Yang Xiu on the side was surprised when he heard this. After taking Huayin, Lu Bu personally led people to visit the Yang family to express his gratitude. Subsequently, at the initiative of Yang Xiu, he was appointed by Lu Bu as the chief of the army.

"Nope." Lu Bu shook his head and said, "The decree on these homeless people or people who have no long things is issued by the lord himself, and there is no room for change. ”

After speaking, Lu Bu looked at Yang Xiu and said with a smile, "I know what Dezu meant, but in the words of the lord, the people are the foundation of everything. It's as if now, even though Namatten has forced my army to retreat, and may not even be able to launch another large-scale offensive for several years. But with these hundreds of thousands of people, it is we who will benefit in the end! ”

"The lord is really far-sighted, and the lower officials admire him." Hearing this, Yang Xiu opened his mouth, and finally turned into an exclamation. The truth is not profound, but how many people can do it? In Yang Xiu's opinion, whether it is Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu, I am afraid it is only to ensure that these people can survive, so that they can create more value for themselves.

"Hehe, this is nothing, you will find the wisdom of the lord in the future, but it is not what we can imagine~" Lu Bu said proudly when he heard this, as if others were praising Li Yi, as if they were praising him. Although Gao Shun on the side did not speak, the slightly upturned corners of his mouth were also telling others how happy he was at this time.

This may be the so-called "one and the best", right? As the son of the Li family, and now he is the general under Li Yi, Lu Bu and Gao Shun can be said to have watched Li Yi go from a prodigy of a small local landlord to the commander of the strongest force today. Lu Bu and Gao Shun don't believe in God, but if there really is a god, then they believe that that God is definitely Li Yi.

"Yun Chang, Zilong! The two of you continue to lead the army to take charge of the defense, and at the same time send a large number of scouts to find out the news of the enemy army! Now hundreds of thousands of people are gathered here, and once the enemy succeeds in a sneak attack, the consequences are unimaginable! Lu Bu looked at Guan Yu and Zhao Yun and said in a deep voice.

"Please rest assured!" When Guan Yu and Zhao Yun heard this, they hurriedly got up and answered loudly.

"Wenyuan, quality! The two of you lead your army to immediately control the ships, and at the same time send people to collect the ships in various places, the more the better! If these civilians stay here for a day, not only will they increase the danger, but the greater the consumption of our army! Lu Bu turned his head to look at Zhang Liao and Cao Xuan and ordered.

"No!"

"Dezu, you lead people to pacify and take care of those people, you must pay attention to those patients! If there is an epidemic, isolate it immediately! At the same time, let the people report each other! If you notice that you or someone else may be sick, report it to a nearby soldier immediately! If you dare to hide it, whether it is a sick person or a person around him, you will be directly reduced to a slave! Lu Bu said to Yang Xiu with a serious face.

"This ...... If it's so strict, will the people ......" Yang Xiu asked with some surprise when he heard this. Listening to Lu Bu's words before, and what Yang Xiu saw with the army during this time, he always thought that Li Yi treated the people very kindly.

"Our army is only responsible for protecting the safety of the people so that they can live and work in peace and contentment, but they also have to cooperate with us! Obey the orders of the lord and the local government. If he refuses to cooperate, it proves that he does not intend to be a citizen under the lord's rule! Lu Bu waved his hand and said directly.

"No!" Yang Xiu hurriedly replied when he heard this, and his heart became more curious about Li Yi.

Having said that, there was nothing Lu Bu could do to do this, because even if it was just the slightest epidemic, once it spread among the population, it would be a very terrifying thing.

Not to mention how many casualties the soldiers will have, even if it is just a few people who die of illness, the blow to Li Yi's prestige will be devastating. After all, Ma Teng would not let go of such a good opportunity.

"Once there is a mass death of those people, then Li Yi's reputation will definitely plummet! The people of the world would not care if it wasn't for Li Yi's acceptance of them, they would only know that those people died in large numbers under Li Yijun's care! Zhang Ning chuckled and said to Ma Teng, who had recovered.

"Yes...... But we're going to drive these people out......" Ma Teng said with a tangled face when he heard this. He was originally a generous person, although he has changed a lot due to the change of status over the years, but it is difficult for him to accept that such a large number of people may suffer because of himself.

"Why did the gentleman say that?" Zhang Ning looked at Ma Teng and smiled, "Did we drive those people away?" No! It's Li Yi! It was he who plotted to rebel and attack the capital division! We're just trying to do this without any way! ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Ning stroked Ma Teng's face and said softly, "And...... Gentleman, you are just a hussar general of the imperial court, and your only duty is to defend the Jingshi. As for the order to drive out the people, it is the will of the imperial court, and there is the seal of the saint and the seal of the three dukes, what does it have to do with you, the gentleman? And even if you want to oppose it, how can you go against the holy will? ”

"This ...... This ......" Ma Teng looked at Zhang Ning tremblingly, but he couldn't say half a word. I don't know why, at this time, Zhang Ning's beautiful and elegant face made him feel afraid from the depths of his heart, and the tender little hands that caressed back and forth on his face seemed to be like a sharp blade.

Seeing this, Zhang Ning suddenly threw himself into Ma Teng's arms, and said in a gentle tone, "Don't worry, gentleman, if there is about to be chaos today, whether it is Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu, or other people who have the ambition to claim the king of the place, who wants to see Li Yi completely defeat us and welcome that little emperor?" Once those people have any problems, maybe we don't need to do it, then Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others will take the initiative to find trouble with Li Yi! ”

Nephrite was in his arms, and his voice was soft, but Ma Teng did not have the same distracted lust as before. On the contrary, at this time, he only felt cold, his body was stiff, and he didn't even dare to look down at Zhang Ning's pretty face.

Seeing Ma Teng's appearance, Zhang Ning sighed helplessly in his heart. Although she had known that this would happen, she was still a little disappointed when it happened.

"After all, wasn't it his honest and honest character that I had a fancy for at the beginning?" Zhang Ning thought a little self-deprecatingly.

After half a ring, Zhang Ning, who had managed to appease Ma Teng, slowly left the inner room. As soon as I came to the hall, I saw Ma Chao and Wang Yi slowly walking in.

"Chao'er, Yi'er, what are you ......" Zhang Ning asked casually when she saw this, in her opinion, they shouldn't be here at this time. However, looking at Ma Chao's determined look, and at Wang Yi's shy and overwhelmed expression, Zhang Ning seemed to have guessed something.

Sure enough, hearing Zhang Ning's words, Ma Chao knelt directly on the ground and said respectfully, "Mother! The child wants to marry Junqi as his wife! Now that the father is sick in bed, the child hopes that the mother can make decisions for the child! ”

"Oh? What does it mean? Hearing this, Zhang Ning asked with a slight curl at the corners of his mouth and a hint of ridicule in his eyes.

In this regard, Wang Yi's already shy face became even crimson, but she still looked at Zhang Ning firmly and said, "The disciple hopes to be able to stand behind the young master like the master and give advice to the young master!" And ......" Speaking of this, Wang Yi suddenly paused, his face was so red that he seemed to be able to drip blood.

Seeing this, Ma Chao took Wang Yi into his arms, looked at Zhang Ning and said loudly, "Mother, Yi'er is already a child's woman!" ”

Zhang Ning was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but then he suddenly looked at the two of them with a smile and said, "Really?" You guys are moving quite fast~" As he spoke, without waiting for the embarrassed two to say something, he smiled directly, "Go to the inner room, the gentleman has recovered, and he will be very happy to hear your news." ”

Hearing this, Ma Chao and Wang Yi were immediately overjoyed, and after saluting Zhang Ning, they hurriedly walked to the inner room. And looking at the backs of them leaving, the smile on Zhang Ning's face became even stronger, "Shoucheng, it seems that Chao'er doesn't look like you at all~"
