Chapter 492: A Mutual Benefit

These homeless people, in order to facilitate their control at this time, Ritsu Kagawa's subordinates originally let them crouch underground. That doesn't seem to be very respectful to them, though. But behind them are the emperor and the empress, and for the safety of the emperor and queen, even if Ritsukagawa is asked to temporarily insult these refugees, Ritsukagawa is afraid that he will do it.

What is the dignity of thousands of refugees in the face of the safety of the emperor and empress? This is not the time of modern society. Even if these people are civilians, when they should be told to crouch, these people still have to crouch.

And although Ritsukagawa did such a thing to these people, probably no one among these people would feel that their dignity was insulted!

They don't have that awareness. And just now, Ritsu Kagawa can be said to have saved their lives! Then do they have any complaints about Ritsukagawa?

And after Ritsu Kagawa said those words like a boastful one, an old man in the crowd suddenly raised his head and said to Ritsu Kagawa: "Little people, thank you for the kindness of the general!"

As soon as he said this, Ritsukagawa naturally noticed him. In fact, after Ritsukagawa said that, he was going to dismiss their group.

Because Ritsu Kagawa's own gang is the emperor's chariot. And these people in front of them are just refugees. Does he still want to introduce these refugees to Emperor Xian?

And it's not appropriate to stay around! There's no way they're going to take these refugees on the road. There is no need for this. These refugees in Jingzhou and Jiangxia also have families and places to stay! There was no need to keep them with him.

But what did the old man mean by speaking at this time? Ritsu Kagawa didn't want to pay attention to him, just nodded, and continued to say to the refugees in front of him: "Okay, everyone can go home."

The refugees listened to him and looked at each other. They were chased out of their homes by Yan Baihu's bandits, and now they naturally want to go back one by one.

But after going back, if Yan Baihu comes again, what will they do. With no security guaranteed, who wants to go home and die?

Although Ritsu Kagawa assured them that he would drive away Yan Baihu for them, was all this true? Will the general later fulfill the promise he made to them at this moment?

No one can be sure of this.

"General, the old decay is the name of the Jiangxia Xinyang Liugezhuang family, and the old decay is surnamed Du. The general is majestic, and I waited for the people to rise to fight, and I saw it just now. Now that Xiaomin and the others heard again, the general wanted to drive out the bandits for us, and the old man was very grateful. So I wanted to invite the general to go to the village and do the friendship of the landlord. At the same time, he is also willing to help the general get some food and pay to drive out the thieves. ”

The old man who spoke to Ritsu Kagawa before spoke again at this time, this old man, who was about fifty years old. Among the chaotic soldiers, in fact, it should be easier for young people to escape for their lives, but this old man also persevered, he ran fast, which was really amazing.

And looking at his appearance, this person is obviously a decent person, and his family must be relatively solid. At this time, he heard that Lu Xiangchuan said that he was going to replace them and expel Yan Baihu, and he actually took the initiative to invite Lu Xiangchuan to garrison him.

In fact, there are about thousands of people under Lu Xiangchuan at the moment, this old man surnamed Du, although he has some assets at home, but looking at him, he may not be a wealthy gentleman. About Ritsu Kagawa really went to his house to garrison the army, and he could be stationed in poverty immediately.

But what the old man said asked him to go, it may not really mean that he really let Ritsu Kagawa's entire army be stationed in his house, about he heard that Ritsu Kagawa was going to expel Yan Baihu, so he must have a place to garrison after all! The old man wanted to invite him to Xinyang, and at the same time subsidize him with some military salaries, so that he could have a good relationship with Ritsu Kagawa.

He probably wants to engage in speculation, and people in the Three Kingdoms period liked to engage in this. Many local gentry like to devote themselves to a big power, and then use it as their capital for the future.

This is quite like betting on a bet. If you bet wrong, you make a mistake. But what if the bet is right? That's a lot of money. So there are still a lot of people who are keen to do this.

Ritsukagawa listened to the old man's words, thought only about it for a while, and then he agreed to him. Then he said, "Okay, then I'll thank the old gentleman."

His army, if it wants to conquer Yan Baihu, it always needs to have a place to garrison. Moreover, this time he wanted to leave a good impression in the hearts of the people of Jiangxia. Then, he needs to have a local gentry to be his local image spokesperson.

This kind of person has a certain right and influence in the local area. It is a bridge between them and the local community.

Ritsu Kagawa looked at this old man, although the financial resources may not be enough to dominate one side, but in the local area, he must also be the leader of one side. Therefore, he intended to get close to the other party, so as to win over the old man and do things for him.

The old man was overjoyed to hear him say this. He hugged his fist again at Ritsu Kagawa and said, "In this way, Xiaomin will thank the general for his trust in Xiaomin."

In fact, the word general, at that time, also represented a kind of official position, and it was the official position of the most powerful military attaché. Like Cao Cao, in history, after he coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, he gave himself the official position of a general. Commander of the hundred officials.

But the old man called Ritsukagawa a general at this time, so he was obviously not calling Ritsukagawa's official position. He's just showing his respect for Ritsukagawa.

At that time, they were all ready to set off and go to Anxin.

At this time, most of the people and horses of Ritsu Xiangchuan followed Liu Zhi to chase the remnants of Yan Qinghu. At this time, there were only more than a thousand people left here. However, there are still two or three thousand refugees intercepted by them.

With so many men, Ritsukagawa ordered them to clean up the battlefield together with his subordinates, and then they set off.

These refugees, who can't do anything else, do miscellaneous labor, are still quite efficient, and after a while, the battlefield is cleaned up by them.

Yan Qinghu's bandit army, the things abandoned here, were picked up by them. Some of the bandits who died in the battle were also buried by them.

For the bandit soldiers who were captured by Ritsukagawa's men, many of these refugees were ready to spit in their faces and humiliate them at first. But then I heard that Ritsukagawa's order was to treat the captives preferentially. These refugees don't do that.

Probably they also knew that Ritsu Kagawa was trying to buy and influence these captives and let them throw themselves to him. This kind of thing, many warlords in this period, are doing this. They know it.

And in the process of gradually increasing exchanges, Lu Xiangchuan also knew that this old man surnamed Du was called Du Yanling. These refugees are all people from the Xinyang area. This time they suffered together, and this is how they escaped together.
