After leaving the Tushan, Liu He ordered the officers and men of the army to dig the Tushan, fill the ravines, and clean the battlefield. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, Lu Su and others were worried about Liu He's safety, hoping that Liu He could lead the army into the city, but Liu He considered that the people in the city had been harmed by Gongsun Zhan, and if the army entered the city, it would definitely cause panic, besides, as long as Liu He had this thousand white army in his hands, even if the other party came with tens of thousands of troops, he could leave safely, and the security problem was not a problem at all.

After Liu He's explanation, those who were worried about Liu He's safety could only accept Liu He's approach, and advised Liu He to take care of himself, and then sent Liu He into the city.

With the death of Gongsun Zhan, all the defenders in Tuyin City fled, so there was no one here to guard the city gate at all, and the city gate, which looked very magnificent, was pushed open by Liu He.

After that, Liu He led the sergeant into the city, but as soon as he walked to the street, he frowned, because there were many people sleeping on the streets, you must know that it is now a cold winter in October, and it is in the north, the howling north wind is blowing, even if you are at home, you will be shivering from the cold, let alone on the street?

At this moment, Liu He heard a very faint cry, which sounded like a baby, but the voice was weak, proving that the baby was either hungry or frozen.

Liu He hurriedly followed the sound and rushed over, and sure enough, he saw that it was a baby, his face was purple from the cold, his body was wrapped in a layer of cotton cloth (not cotton, at this time the big man did not have cotton), the outside was a linen gown, and a young man next to him was shirtless, it should be the baby's father who took off the only clothes on his body to keep the child warm.

But in such cold weather, this thin linen dress has no effect at all, and it is estimated that in two hours at most, the father and son will freeze to death.

"Big brother, why don't you stay at home and sleep on the streets? Look, what are the children frozen? Liu He said as he took off his sackcloth and put it on the young man, and at the same time took off his leather robe and covered it with the child.

"This official, villain, villain will leave." The young man's face showed a hint of emotion, but he didn't dare to accept Liu He's robe seriously, so he wanted to take it off and give it to Liu He, but when he thought that his son was about to freeze to death, he was a little reluctant for a while.

Liu He waved his hand and smiled: "No need to give it, I will give this leather robe to this child." You don't have to be afraid, I am not Gongsun Chan's general, Gongsun Chan is dead, he set the fire a few hours ago, and he himself hid in that gorgeous palace and burned himself to death. ”

Then he saw Chen Zhi beside Liu He and said: "This is the captain of Si Li, the pastor of the state, the pastor of Youzhou, the hussar general Liu He, the son of the original Youzhou herd Liu Yu, my lord is the most benevolent, has always loved the people like a son, this eldest brother, this leather robe he said to give it to you, that is to give it to you, the weather is too cold, don't shirk, hurry up and put it on the child, I want to say, how do you live on the street on such a cold day?" Could it be an out-of-tlander? ”

"It turned out to be Liu Yuanjun, please accept the villain's worship." After the young man finished speaking, he immediately said with tears in his eyes: "Envoy, this general, you don't know, the villain is a local, as for why he sleeps on the streets, all this is due to Gongsun Zhan, in order to prevent the envoy from attacking his city, this Gongsun Chan ordered to build earth mountains and high-rise buildings outside the city, in order to achieve this purpose, he demolished all the houses in the city, built walls with earth to block bows and arrows, and built tall buildings for him with thatch and wood, and those wood that was not used were made into city defense equipment by him, Now the villain's home is already an open space, there is no difference between living there and living on the street, the weather is warm in the first few days, the villains can bear it, but in the past two days, the north wind is gradually rising, the weather is gradually getting colder, but my mother-in-law gave birth last night, suffered from the wind cold, died, the villain had no choice, had to take off this sackcloth, for the son to keep out the cold, but the villain knows that this sackcloth, can not stop the cold wind, if it is not for the king to send this sackcloth, I guess my father and son will follow my mother-in-law tonight. ”

"This hateful Gongsun Chan actually treats the people like this! This is really in response to the words of Sage Kong, the harsh government is fiercer than the tiger! Liu He couldn't help but clench his fists when he heard this, and scolded loudly: "Dog thief Gongsun Zhan, the people are innocent, what is the crime?" That's it! ”

Then he said to the young man: "All this is caused by harmony, so that the people of the city will suffer this great calamity, please take the eldest brother and the children to find a shelter from the wind, and immediately order the soldiers to cut down trees, light bonfires, and keep the people warm, and wait until tomorrow, and order them to build houses for the people in the city, and give food to the people, so that they can live first." ”

"Thank you to the envoy, make the king great kindness, our whole city people dare not forget, child, mother, did you hear it in the spirit of heaven? We are saved, and you can leave in peace. ”

The young man hugged the child and kowtowed to Liu He.

Liu He hurriedly ordered someone to help the young man, and at the same time ordered someone to gather the people, announced his policy to the people, and then immediately sent Pan Feng to the camp to take a trip, and ordered Pan Feng to take 5,000 soldiers to cut down trees overnight, and at the same time ordered Xun You to send 10,000 pieces of grain, first boil a pot of hot porridge for the people, so that the people can have a hot meal.

At this time, an old man in the crowd said: "For us, the envoy sent the generals and soldiers of the army to chop wood overnight, so are we just waiting to be used?" All the men who can move, together with the old decay, go to the forest outside the city to chop wood, even if we don't have a firewood knife to chop, can we help the sergeants carry it? ”

"Wu Lao is right, let's all do it together, it's rare that Liu Yuanjun is so kind and righteous to us, how can we not reciprocate in Akagi? Let's go chop wood together. ”

"Yes, yes, let's go together."

The people have responded, with Wu Laohan went to the dense forest together, to help the sergeant chop wood, not long after, in the city raised a bonfire, although this group of bonfires is not as big as the fire during the day, but it has a completely different meaning, the fire during the day is to burn away the sin, and the bonfire at night is to warm the hearts of the people, which means that from now on, the people of the whole city will be desperately loyal to Liu He, whether it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, they will never frown.

"The porridge is ready, everyone is lined up, let's eat porridge together." Under the firelight, the people ate fragrant rice porridge and danced happily, as if they were celebrating something.
