Wang said honestly: "But I am not steadfast in my heart, Nanguo Gong is a great official!" What is he taking in us useless people for? ”

"I don't know, anyway, I heard that there are no less than 100,000 people in Guide Mansion, and it is said that there are many fertile fields in the fiefdom of Nanguo Gong that no one cultivates, so a large number of tun households are needed."

Wang said honestly: "Farming, this is no problem, as long as Nanguo Gong gives him food." ”

"I don't care if it's farming or not, as long as the two boys don't get harmed by the rogues. If you are taken captive by a thief and become a thief, your life will be ruined. ”

"Yes, those turtle grandchildren are too bad, they have been harmed all the way, and I don't know how many good people have been ruined by them."

"Let's work hard, as long as we can see the Huang family, we will be able to drink porridge, damn, I drank a bowl of pumpkin at noon, and my stomach was so empty that I died."

Wang honestly sighed and said, "Alas! Brother Li, do you know what those people in Dongzhuang did last night? ”

"You know, I'd rather die than do it, even if it's a starving folk."

Wang Laoshi's slightly desolate voice sounded: "Yes, I feel disgusting when I think about it, in short, I will never be able to do such a thing as cannibalism." I just hope to find the Huang family, otherwise I may be eaten by others. ”

The three sons of Wang Laoshi's family did not have a serious name, that is, the size, the second small, and the third child were called like this, Wang married a daughter-in-law last year, and the daughter-in-law was called like this by the big and small families, calling them from his wife's family, and the two underage daughters were of course the eldest and second daughters.

Eighteen-year-old Wang Erxiao interjected: "Dad, what are you talking about, with our brother here, we really can't hold on, and we killed others for you to eat." ”

This kid has just passed the age of marrying a wife in this era, but his family is too poor, so he can only do his best to add a lady to the big and small, but unfortunately he is still a hearing mute. The second and sixteen-year-old third can't even marry a mute woman.

Wang Lao Shi reprimanded his son: "Erxiao is not allowed to talk nonsense, we are upright people, how can we do things like beasts." Hurry up, find the 'God of War' and our family will have a way to live."

As long as there is a glimmer of hope, people will have motivation, and these people who go east together are ordinary people who have gone into the ravine into the dense forest to escape the coercion of the bandits.

Lucky enough to escape, they came out of hiding when the rogue went away, and found that their home had been burned down, and they became destitute, so they had to kowtow to their ancestral grave for the last time, and then left their ancestral foundation and left their hometown to find a way to live in the east.

Gradually, there are more and more homeless people on the official road, and as they walk, there will be old and weak people who are physically exhausted and will not be able to get up again, and soon the snowflakes will cover the already cold corpses.

On the official road in the east of Yizhou, Xu Sijiu and Guo Sanxi led 800 strong men to push 400 wheelbarrows tenaciously to the west in the wind and snow. This is a part of the Huang family's stay in Guide Mansion to operate, and this is also the hope of many displaced people who can't survive.

They set out in a procession of 5,000 men, carrying 3,000 wheelbarrows laden with grain, and at intervals of a hundred miles, they chose a fort with defensive strength to leave some men and food.

Guo Sanxi and his brother Guo Hexi are taller, so the amount of food is larger than the average person, and they often can't eat enough when they were young, so they followed their brother to serve as a soldier at the age of fourteen.

He knows what it's like to be hungry, and the task assigned by the head of the family is to keep the people from going hungry as much as possible, and of course he is happy to do such a good deed for the birth of Buddhas.

The military intelligence department sent information informing that fighting had broken out in the west, and many people were starving to death in the ice and snow, and incidents of cannibalism had occurred frequently.

Xu Sijiu, Guo Sanxi and Ma Yue, who stayed in Guide Mansion, couldn't sit still when they heard such news, the head of the family asked them to save as many people as possible, and waiting for the displaced people to come to the door in Guide Mansion might not meet the minimum requirements of the head of the family.

These officers belong to the lord who is not afraid of heaven and earth and is afraid that the head of the family will be disappointed in them, and several main leaders made a decision after deliberation, leaving Sun Zhenhuai to deal with the affairs of the Guide Mansion.

Xu Sijiu, Guo Sanxi, and Ma Yue brought 5,000 people and 3,000 wheelbarrows to transport more than 10,000 stone of grain, ready to approach the war zone, and bring back as many ordinary people as possible who were unwilling to be thieves.

Along the way, they kept leaving people and food to contain the people on the spot, and organized them to continue to the east, and when they came to the boundary of Yuzhou, there were only three percent of the people.

Ma Yue stayed in a large tun fort eighty miles north of Yuzhou and was stationed on the spot, which was a local clan settlement with a certain defensive capability.

Originally, the patriarch still led the strong men of the clan to confront Ma Yue and Guo Sanxi's 1,600 men and horses, but later learned that they were the "God of War" family members who came from Guide Mansion, and the patriarch changed his attitude to welcome them into Tunpu.

The patriarch's surname is Li Zijunpei, who is quite prestigious in this tunpu, and the surname Li is a prominent family here, and there are seven adult families who are all children of the clan.

Li Junpei had long heard about the righteous deeds of the "God of War" over the years, and a few days ago he learned that the Huang family had taken in refugees in Guide Mansion and opened a porridge factory.

Today, I saw more than 1,000 well-dressed people and horses, and Li Junpei, who had seen extraordinary, felt awe-inspiring and righteous, and chose to believe in Xu Sijiu and others unconditionally, and invited them into Tunpu.

Because he has seen bandits and rogues, he knows that those teams are almost inseparable from the common people, and he has also seen the army and battalion soldiers of the Ming Guard, and those soldiers are all sluggish.

The team that appeared outside Tunpu was completely different, all of them were neat and energetic, and they should be strong troops, and they reported that they were under the command of the "God of War", which should be well deserved, and it is rare to have such a spirited team in the mainland.

It soon became clear to Li Junpei that his decision had been wise, and that each wheelbarrow they had brought was loaded with four stones of rice, which was said to have been brought by the Duke of Nanguo from the distant land of Cochin.

Li Junpei is not a talented person, of course he knows his homeland, and he was greatly moved when he heard that Nanguo Gong bought food from such a distant place to save people from fire and water, and he said on the spot that he would take the whole clan to Nanguo Gong.

As a member of the family, the patriarch did not make such a decision on a whim.

He saw that bandits were rampant in the unfavorable places during the passing year, and the harvest in the fields was not as good as the year after year, and there were natural disasters and bandits. From time to time, the bandits came down to steal the wheat outside the fort that was not yet fully ripe, resulting in a direct reduction in production.

Although the strength of the rogues and bandits encountered so far is not enough to break through the tunpu, Patriarch Li is terrified every day, and he is responsible for the nearly 2,000 people in the entire tunpu.

Lijiabao was saved by luck, and none of the thieves who came here were a large number of thieves, they could only scourge the crops outside the fort, and had no ability to attack the fortress, but the young men of Liujiabao were also unable to rush out of the fortress to drive away the thieves.
