The sky gradually turned white, and after several days of scorching sun, it finally began to rain lightly.

The early sun has not yet cast clouds, crowded most of the refugees on both sides of the road in the west gate of Xudu sleep on the ground in the rain, some simply build a straw hut with branches and thatch, whether it is in the rain, or live in the straw hut one by one looks desolate, the sick are abandoned in a long distance, do not see life and death, some are injured on the way, and have to moan in the rain. Moaning, more often than not, curled up in a place where he could hide from the rain, crying in a low voice.

At this time, there was a slight tremor on the ground, someone raised his head, and the figure of a war horse galloped past him, and the horse's hooves stepped on the ground, and rushed straight towards the city gate, and in a blink of an eye, more than two hundred horsemen rushed forward.

The man was so frightened that he fell directly to the side for a moment, and subconsciously shouted: "There are cavalry, the city gate is about to open-" The words fell, and the war horse walked through the crowd with a huge sound, as if startling a finch in the forest, and in the lead-green rain curtain, countless figures swayed out of the simple grass hut, and a thin little girl took her mother's hand, looking pitifully in the direction of the closed city gate.

In the face of many miserable scenes in the rain, even Gongsun Zhi could not help but feel compassion, "Cao Cao's movements are so slow....." Immediately, he took out a piece of jerky from his bosom and threw it to the other party, and then his eyes turned back to the city wall, and the figure above walked in the light, poking his head out.

"Who's down there?!"

In the light of the torches lit at the head of the city, the general with an iron helmet shouted, looked down, waved his hand to let people put down the bamboo basket, and the cavalry team over there, the first to ride out, put a seal letter on it, after a while, the guard general verified it, and then let people put down the bamboo basket again, arched his hand: "It turned out that the governor of Gongsun returned, please forgive the last general for being rude before, it is really the prime minister's order, and the inspection is very strict." ”

Immediately, he beckoned: "Open the city gate!" A team of archers hurriedly stepped forward, drew their bows and pointed directly at the refugees below, and the general's voice continued: "This is the governor of the northern land who has urgent business to enter the city, and you will take the opportunity to make trouble, and the prime minister is trying to make the father and old man have food, don't mess around." ”

When the footsteps inside the city gate sounded, behind, shadows in the rain slowly moved their steps, as if they wanted to rush into the city for the first time, but they kept looking at the arrows from the wall battlements, and then suddenly the voice from nowhere shouted in the crowd: "They just want to starve us to death......" "There are the best healers in the city!" There is also a lot of food. "They are reluctant to give us a little ......" "We want to see Your Majesty...... See the Prime Minister! ”

Someone wants to cause a riot.

Gongsun stopped pulling the reins fiercely, waved his hand, dozens of knights immediately went to the city gate, pulled out their knives to guard the entrance, he turned around, in the dim rain curtain, the eyes that looked at it vaguely became hungry, and the crowd of people slowly had a noisy sound in the silence gradually spread.

"You can't take a step forward!" Dian Wei naturally felt that something was wrong, and at the same time he shouted violently, he pulled out his halberd, turned his horse in front of the lord, stretched out his arms left and right, and swept over everyone with a vicious gaze, "Otherwise, you won't be killed-"

Over there, the city gate was slowly opening a gap, Gongsun Zhi frowned, looked at the dirty little girl in the crowd before, stretched out his hand, and a bow and arrow were handed over.

In the next second, raising his arm and holding his bow, in one go, the arrow flew over the little girl who was still holding the jerky, and the front row was crowded with refugees who wanted to rush over, and they were frightened back by the sudden movement of the other party, and the arrow buzzed over their heads.

The dirty hair fluttered, and a black shadow with the sound of breaking the air curled up a few strands of the girl's hair, and the sluggish little figure stood in place, blinking her bright eyes, and then, a warm liquid fell on her shoulder, and the ignorant child raised his head and looked back in a daze, a tall thin man holding a knife was sticking a feathered arrow in his neck, and he fell backwards with a bang.

The shock brought by the fall of the corpse, among the crowd, as far as the eye could see, many people were just ordinary people, hungry people, seeing that the leader was killed by the government, there were shouts, screams, and cries in a single piece, causing noisy chaos.

Here, the longbow was put down on the horse's back, Gongsun Zhi lifted his cloak, pulled the reins and walked towards the city gate, and his voice was indifferent and loud: "Whoever makes trouble again, I will kill you all!" I will give you food before noon today. ”

The city gate opened a small gap, and more than 200 horsemen entered.

At the head of the city, the guard also led dozens of people down to the mouth of the urn out of the city gate, and hurriedly bowed to Gongsun Zhi, who came in, as if he came to know, as if he came to confirm, and then said a few words politely, and led the team back to the city tower, Li Ke whispered next to him: "The appearance of the general is somewhat familiar." ”

"It's Bian Xi, when we first came to Yanzhou, we were the first general to defect in the Qingzhou Yellow Turban." Gongsun Zhi nodded, and also remembered who the other party was.

The horse team entered the street, and there were few pedestrians in the early morning of the rainy day, Gongsun Zhi turned his head to a few people around him, and suddenly gave an order: "Find the nearest rich family, let's go borrow grain, Prime Minister Cao Cheng has concerns, I don't, so I will make this decision for him." ”

"Drive-"

More than 200 horsemen received the order and scattered in all directions, and there were early risers and merchants around who watched these cavalry wander around in groups of three or five, not knowing what was happening, and after a while, they returned to this side to regroup, and had the courage to look at the man in the middle, that is, they knew that it was the governor of the northern land who had entered the city in triumph that day.

"Back to the governor, I found a few nearby."

"Let's go here......"

Under the rain curtain, his finger casually pointed to the location of the family on the collected news.

……

The cavalry was running through the streets, and the horse's hooves stepped on the slippery masonry and there was a frantic "stampede" sound, one of the horsemen looked at the position of the simple painting in his hand, and then looked at the marked courtyard gate in front of him, and when he turned back to ask for instructions, Gongsun Zhi raised his hand and waved it simply.

More than 10 people dismounted together, did not knock on the door, directly tied the standing rope sleeve to the copper ring of the knock door, turned back and rode on the war horse, a whip sounded, more than ten horses suddenly exerted force, neighed, the horse's hooves struggled forward and galloped, the rope was violently straightened in the next moment, only to hear the loud sound of "bang", two courtyard doors burst open, one of them collapsed crookedly, and the rest of the wolf rode off the horse with a knife, and the bees poured in.

Hearing the movement, the door poked its head out of the door, and was pinched by a large outstretched palm and pushed back. At this time, many servants and maids in the courtyard were already busy getting up, and they seemed a little overwhelmed when they saw a group of people who suddenly broke in.

"Who are you waiting for, do you know whose mansion this is, and dare to trespass......"

When a man who seemed to be in charge rushed with the nursing home, Dian Wei bumped into the halberd and shouted: "We are just here to borrow food, don't be ignorant of lifting ......"

Over there, the sticks had already been hit.

Bang Bang –

The stick whistled and broke in mid-air, and before the fierce steward could finish speaking, a halberd was cut open with the stick, and the human head was thrown into the air with the flying broken stick, and the headless corpse fell to the ground and twitched from time to time, and the broken neck was still spurting blood. Dian Wei swept the people in the courtyard, "If you want to live, take the food out." ”

When such a scene gradually started in the city, Cao Cao was tossing and turning on the bed, his head disease made it difficult for him to sleep, occasionally glanced at the sky, just sighed and put on his clothes and sat up, staring at the light thinking about the disaster victims outside the city, and the complicated things between the gentry and disaster relief, after a while, suddenly there were footsteps rushing over, and a servant came with news: "Oh no...... Prime minister...... There was an accident in the city, something happened, and the governor of Gongsun returned to Xudu and killed people......"

"What the hell is going on, when did Gongsun Zhi come back?"

Cao Cao was suddenly shocked by this news, his headache was slightly reduced, and when he opened the door, the servant pointed out tremblingly: "I came back to the city in the early hours of the morning, and somehow, after Gongsun Du entered the city, he went directly to the courtyard of a large household and forced people to take out a lot of grain. ”

“.…… That's it? ”

"Also...... And ......" The servant lowered his head and lowered his voice: "....... There is more than one, and one of them is the mansion of Geng Shilang in the court, who suddenly insulted and was cut off on the spot by a giant man under the command of the governor......"

"Chopped?!"

Cao Cao was stunned for a while, and didn't speak for a long time, just put on his clothes and looked at a lantern under the eaves.
