Quiet, quiet, nothing can be heard except for the bustling birds in the woods.

When Yang Yi came to the front army, he found that all the sergeants were standing in place with heavy faces, and they seemed to have encountered something very unspeakable.

"What's going on? Is it the enemy? Yang Yi saw Shama Naigu greet him with a dark face, and hurriedly asked.

Shama Naigu looked up at Yang Yi, and after a long pause, he pointed behind him and said, "See for yourself." ”

Yang Yi followed Shamanaigu to a col in confusion, the col was not big, sandwiched between two peaks, and at this moment the soldiers of the mountain army had surrounded the entire col.

When Yang Yi walked out of the dense jungle and saw the situation in the mountain col, the shock in his heart was beyond words.

I saw that the col a few miles square was crowded with more than 10,000 "wild people".

Why do they say savages, because these people are completely indistinguishable from human appearance, most of them are as thin as bones, ragged, and covered with mud stains, among which there are many gray-haired old people, and half-grown children, sitting or lying, no one speaks, just waiting quietly.

Everyone's eyes were numb and frightening, and they looked at the soldiers around them with dull eyes, without fear, without any fear, not even any human feelings, or rather, they didn't even know that they were still alone.

Shama Naigu, who was standing next to Yang Yi, said coldly: "It's a refugee from Qianzhou..."

Yang Yi frowned, raised his feet and wanted to go down the mountain pass, but Shama Naigu grabbed him and shook his head with a solemn face.

Yang Yi hesitated, but still restrained his steps, not to mention whether the more than 10,000 refugees were friends or foes, even if Yang Yi stood on the mountainside, he could smell the stench emitted from the mountain col, in this environment, it was likely that many unknown epidemics would break out.

Shamanai said: "I have inquired, they are refugees from the Qianzhou Prefecture who fled to Daque Mountain, and they have been here for more than a month. ”

Yang Yi looked at those refugees who couldn't tell whether they were people or ghosts, the word tragic alone could no longer describe their appearance, it could be seen that these people had reached their limit and couldn't survive for long.

"Your Highness...!" Dong Yuan, who was standing behind Shama Naigu, was already red-eyed, and he knelt down in front of Yang Yi.

Dong Yuan didn't say anything, but Yang Yi understood what he wanted to say.

Yang Yi was silent, it stands to reason that he is on the march at the moment, and he shouldn't care about such a nosy matter, but... Yang Yi believes that as long as it is a person, as long as this person still has a trace of humanity, it is impossible not to feel when he sees such a scene.

Looking at the solemn expressions of the soldiers of the mountain army around them, we knew that even if these refugees had nothing to do with them, no one could pretend not to see them.

Yang Yi looked at Shamanaigu, this battle was Shamanaigu as the commander, Yang Yi didn't want to influence his marching thoughts.

Shama Naigu sighed, he knew Yang Yi very well, for Yang Yi, it was just a matter if he didn't meet it, and there was no way to turn a blind eye if he met it.

Shamanagu thought for a moment and said, "Our food is still relatively sufficient, and the supply points behind us are constantly transporting food, which can help these refugees, but we can't waste too much time." ”

Yang Yi nodded, turned to Dong Yuan, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Dong Yuan, give you half a day, you go and arrange for the sergeants to treat the refugees, distribute rations, and isolate people who are found to be suffering from the epidemic immediately." ”

Dong Yuan bowed deeply to Yang Yi and Shama Naigu with tears in his eyes, and without saying much, he turned around and led the soldiers to the mountain pass.

After the cleanup, there were a total of 11,000 of these Qianzhou refugees, and of course, this is only the living people. Perhaps God also had mercy, and this refugee pile miraculously did not have an outbreak of contagious diseases, and most of the patients were suffering from malnutrition.

After receiving food, the refugees finally began to have vitality, and under the guidance of Dong Yuan, they walked out of the stinky mountain col and went to a small stream to wash off the stains on their bodies.

In the evening, Dong Yuan brought a few young refugees to meet Yang Yi and Shama Naigu, according to Dong Yuan, these people were originally members of the Immortal Sect, but later defected from the Immortal Sect and were hunted down by the Immortal Sect, and had no choice but to follow the refugees and fled into Daque Mountain.

"It's only three days away from the border of the Qianzhou Prefecture in Daque Mountain, and the nearest county seat is Pingshan County, and many of our refugees here are from Pingshan County." A refugee told Yang Yi what he knew.

Yang Yi and Shama Naigu glanced at each other, and they both saw the joy in each other's eyes, after nearly a month of difficult marching, they were finally about to get out of Daque Mountain.

Shamanaigu asked, "Is there a garrison in Pingshan County?" ”

The refugee said, "Yes! There are 1,000 soldiers in the Qianzhou Prefecture, and there are 6,000 soldiers from the Immortal Sect. ”

"Instructor?" The crowd was amazed.

According to the news found by Doubao, the Changsheng Sect in Qianzhou Mansion has its own instructors, but he didn't expect that in a small county town, there are only 1,000 officers and soldiers, but there are as many as 6,000 instructors in the Changsheng Sect.

In the following questioning, Yang Yi was even more surprised, he thought that the soldiers of a cult should be a group of rabble, but those refugees said that many of the soldiers of the Immortal Sect were composed of fanatical believers in the sect, and their combat effectiveness was extremely strong, and they were not afraid of life and death at all when they charged into battle, and their equipment was not poor, and they were even better than the officers and soldiers in many places.

Now the Immortal Sect has almost controlled the entire Qianzhou, and a large number of instructors are stationed in every important town and pass, and there are at least 30,000 people stationed in the capital of Qianzhou alone.

The more Yang Yi listened, the tighter his brows wrinkled, and his index finger kept tapping lightly on the table, and condensed: "It seems that this time will be a tough battle." ”

Shama Naigu also said calmly: "If the strategic goal is only a strategy, our strength is far greater than that of Qianzhou, and it is only a matter of time to take the Qianzhou Mansion. If the Immortal Sect forces were really so powerful, I'm afraid it would be difficult to achieve. ”

Everyone fell silent, it seemed that there was no good way to clear the power of the Immortal Sect in a short period of time, even if they mobilized troops from Shuzhong, it would not be possible to do it for a while, once the war fell into a stalemate, it would only be Nanguo Hou Li Cen who would be happy.

Dong Yuan also understood the worries of Yang Yi and the others at this time, and the overstretched troops greatly hindered their rapid advance.

Dong Yuan thought for a while and said, "Your Highness, maybe I have some way." ”

Hearing this, Yang Yi straightened up and said, "What way?" ”

Dong Yuan said: "I can go back to the master and ask the master to help me think of a way." Seeing that Yang Yi and the others were puzzled, he said: "The family teacher is the head of the Jinshui Sect, the iron-fisted lion Bao Qiu, who has a high reputation in the martial arts of Qianzhou, and is also upright, and has always been extremely dissatisfied with what the Immortal Sect has done. If he hears that Your Highness has arrived, he will definitely call on fellow martial artists to help! ”

Before Yang Yi could speak, a strong man among the refugees in Qianzhou also stood up and said, "Caomin Wusheng, who used to be an envoy of the Immortal Sect, had a dispute with the elders of the sect because he was dissatisfied with the evil deeds of the elders in the sect, and had to be sentenced to flee. In the Immortal Sect and the people of Qianzhou, there are actually many people who are as dissatisfied as me, who are not used to seeing what the Immortal Sect is doing but are forced by its power and dare not speak out, I think I can try to persuade them to help His Highness overthrow the evil rule of the Immortal Sect! ”

Yang Yi was overjoyed, and Shama Naigu glanced at each other, and saw that it was serious, and it also flashed with fine light. The biggest problem of the Shu army's long-distance combat this time was that it was far away and unfamiliar with the place, and it was competing for time with Li Cen. If you can get the help of the local forces in Qianzhou Prefecture, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort!
