Emperor Ming Fengyunlu

Volume 4: The Heroic Soul Returns Home

Chapter 1: It is difficult to leap thousands of miles into Shudao

Section 3 Inability to move forward

It was already dark at night, and the Longxiang Iron Cavalry had already set up a large camp outside the Gulf Pass. Due to the increasing number of displaced people gathering outside the pass, the defenders of Jiping Pass refused to open the city gate in order to prevent the displaced people from entering the pass, resulting in Liu Yunwei being unable to lead the army to pass the pass, so he could only stay outside the pass temporarily.

At this time, Liu Yunwei sat in the big tent and frowned, seeing that Sichuan was in front of him and his hometown was in front of him, but he couldn't go any further, so he could only wait outside the Luping Pass for an indefinite time. And what makes Liu Yunwei even more worried is that the displaced people outside the wolfing pass are gathering more and more, even if the sky has completely darkened, there are still countless homeless people gathered from all directions, and the high wall is full of black figures, under the light of the fire in the Longxiang Iron Cavalry camp, it keeps shaking back and forth, and the wolfping pass is reflected as if it is a ghost gate.

"If you don't get through here all the time, you'll have to enter the river from somewhere else. But if you take a detour, one is that the road is too far, and the rest of the routes are much more difficult to walk than Gooping Pass. In that case, when will we be able to rush back? Liu Yunwei was worried at this time, his eyes were glued to the map on the table, and he kept thinking about other feasible routes.

At this moment, a man who did not collect outside the tent at night said: "General Qiyu, there is a situation outside the camp!" ”

Liu Yunwei's heart couldn't help jumping when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked, "What happened outside the camp?" ”

The man who did not enter the tent at night said: "General Hui, there are many homeless people outside the camp, numbering in the hundreds, all begging us to release food for relief, and the brothers are waiting at the camp gate. ”

Liu Yunwei was taken aback when he heard this, his sword eyebrows almost wrinkled together, he pondered for a while, and asked, "How is the situation of those homeless people now?" ”

The night Bushu's face was a little unbearable, and he sighed and said: "General, some people outside the camp have begun to starve to death, mostly some old people and children, and the scene is very miserable. ”

Liu Yunwei's expression suddenly dimmed when he heard this, sighed heavily, and said: "Anyway, let's take out some food for relief, we can't watch these homeless people all starve to death outside the camp, let's see it as the Ming official army." ”

"But General, we don't have much food, and once we help the displaced here, I'm afraid that more and more displaced people will gather here, and we won't be able to leave at that time." The night did not accept the worry said.

Liu Yunwei just stared blankly at the map on the table, no longer spoke, and his face was full of grief and indignation. After a while, Liu Yunwei waved his hand at the night and said, "Go ahead, that's it!" ”

Half an hour later, several fires were lit in the camp of the Iron Cavalry, illuminating the vicinity of the camp gate as if it were daylight. I saw more than a hundred iron cavalry soldiers pouring out of the camp gate, driving aside the homeless people crowded near the camp gate, and vacating a large open space; Immediately afterwards, in the eager eyes of hundreds of homeless people, dozens of iron cavalry soldiers carried three large wooden barrels and walked out, and a strange smell of food wafted out of the wooden barrels, causing hundreds of homeless people to immediately surround forward.

Liu Yunwei, who was observing the situation in the camp, saw the scene in front of him and immediately ordered another 200 soldiers to be transferred out of the camp to maintain order. With the addition of 200 soldiers, the order of the relief site was greatly improved in an instant, and those displaced people were pushed back one after another, and some of the displaced people who tried to rush through the barrier were knocked to the ground by the iron cavalry soldiers like wolves, and then they were dragged away and tied up.

Seeing that the scene had been controlled, Liu Yunwei stepped forward and said loudly to the crowded homeless people: "I am a Ming general passing through here, and it is not my duty to help the victims, but as a Ming general, how can I sit back and watch the people of the Ming Dynasty starve to death in front of me?" Therefore, I have used military rations to provide for you, and I cannot guarantee that each of you will be fed, but I will do my best to ensure that you will not starve to death! ”

As soon as the words fell, hundreds of displaced people around them knelt down in gratitude, and kowtowed to Liu Yunwei and the iron cavalry soldiers to thank him, and the scene was chaotic again.

Liu Yunwei waved his hand, and the surrounding iron cavalry soldiers immediately roared in unison: "Quiet! The homeless people then fell silent.

Liu Yunwei continued: "Although I have helped you, it does not mean that I am a bodhisattva! You are here to survive, and you have blocked the way of my army; Tonight I have given you relief, and tomorrow you will have to retreat five miles, and make way for my army to advance, so that the defenders of the Gulping Pass may open the gates. You will all consider it tonight, and if you agree, you will depart early tomorrow morning, and I will leave some food for you before the gate; If you don't agree, tonight's hot porridge will be the last. ”

After speaking, Liu Yunwei signaled the soldiers to start distributing hot porridge, and then walked into the camp without looking back.

"I can only do it here, I am not an immortal, I don't have boundless ability, I can only help you get here." Liu Yunwei kept silently reciting in his heart, and the helpless cries of the displaced people outside the camp came to his ears, but he couldn't do anything about it.

After Liu Yunwei returned to the camp, he did not sleep and rest, but sat quietly on the couch, not knowing what he was thinking, and his face was full of sadness. In this way, in Liu Yunwei's silence, a new day has arrived, and the rising sun will spread its glory to the Longxiang Iron Cavalry Camp, and to the thousands of displaced people outside the camp.

Liu Yunwei didn't know if what he said last night could have an effect, so he came to the gate of the camp with apprehension, and immediately saw a scene of extreme disappointment: I saw that there was already a sea of people outside the camp, and the wide open space between the Longxiang Iron Cavalry Camp and the Liping Pass was already crowded with helpless homeless.

The cries of the elderly and children, the sobs of women, and the lamentations of men are intertwined, rendering the originally harmonious early morning into a picture of refugees.

Liu Yunwei looked at the scene in front of him, and his heart seemed to be dripping with blood; At this moment, Liu Yunwei already understood that his words last night were in vain, and the situation he didn't want to see was inevitable, and a large number of displaced people were gathering towards him.

Seeing this, Liu Yunwei couldn't help but feel anxious, and was about to go back to the tent to think about countermeasures, when the displaced people outside the camp saw the main general of the official army appear, and they all rushed up, slapping the camp wall and shouting loudly, begging Liu Yunwei to put more food to save his life.

Liu Yunwei was already in a difficult position at this moment, so he had to order some food to be released to save the emergency, but for thousands of hungry displaced people, this bit of food can be said to be a drop in the bucket and useless.

In desperation, Liu Yunwei looked at the Jiping Pass in the distance, and a monstrous anger suddenly appeared in his heart: "The defenders of this Jiping Pass have not come forward until now, just hiding in the pass to watch the scenery, do you think that these homeless people are all burdens that have nothing to do with themselves?" ”

Thinking of this, Liu Yunwei immediately ordered two hundred iron cavalry soldiers to prepare to go to Qiping Pass. Liu Yunwei led the soldiers to quietly leave the camp from the rear of the camp, went all the way around to the front of the camp, and rushed all the way towards the Chengping Pass; Seeing this, the surrounding homeless people shouted loudly, and many even ran after the galloping war horses, and the scene was very chaotic.

Liu Yunwei looked at the homeless people who followed behind him, and secretly felt bitter in his heart, and said secretly: "If these homeless people come with them, it is estimated that the defenders of Jiping Pass will not open the city gate." But after all, Liu Yunwei did not slow down, and it didn't take long to rush to the outside of the Qiping Pass.

Liu Yunwei rode his horse to inspect the outside of the pass and found that there were many defenders on the pass city, but he did not find the generals on duty. So, Liu Yunwei sat on his war horse and said loudly: "I am Liu Yunwei, the guerrilla general of Jianchangwei in Sichuan, and I went to Jianchangwei to take office on the order of the imperial court, where is your Shangguan?" Report it to me right away, I'm going to get through it right away! ”

A general on the city wall poked his head and shouted, "Please wait a moment, the general will go and tell my family." ”

Liu Yunwei looked back at the approaching wave of displaced people, although he was very anxious, he still waited patiently for a while. About a stick of incense had passed, and there had already been a sporadic number of homeless people rushing to the side of the Iron Cavalry, but there was still no response from the wall.

The anger in Liu Yunwei's heart burst out again, and he shouted loudly: "Bastard thing! What about you? If he doesn't come out again, General Ben will mobilize a large army and kill it directly! ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard a lazy voice coming from the wall: "What a bold man!" Attacking the pass is a capital crime to exterminate the nine clans, is the guerrilla master trying to exterminate the clan? ”

Liu Yunwei looked over and saw a man wearing a thousand chief official uniforms leaning against the wall and talking, as if he had just woken up, and the whole person looked sleepy-eyed.

Seeing this, Liu Yunwei was furious and shouted: "Thousands of displaced people have gathered outside the Guan, as the general manager of Guanqian, you don't go to help the displaced people but rest in peace, are you tired of living!" ”

The Qian Zong was slightly stunned, and then laughed and said: "Haha, this Gotping Pass is the main road from Shaanxi to Sichuan, do you know why I can stay here?" Because the governor of Henan is my distant uncle, Lao Tzu is the king of heaven here! You can do whatever I want, what can you do with me? What happened to a guerrilla general? Dynasties are everywhere! When I call you an adult, I look up to you, what kind of character do you really think you are? Bite off more than one can chew! I'll tell you the truth, until these homeless people are dead, you can wait outside the gate with peace of mind, I don't have the time to care about you! ”

Liu Yunwei was furious when he heard this, and directly picked up the iron tire bow, and raised his hand to be an arrow! I saw the sharp arrows go straight to the thousand general!
