Chapter 223 Love the people like a son and survive in the jungle

What Yue Fei said, although it was a performance, was also a fact.

The Fangla rebel army continued to coerce the hungry people along the way, and every time there was a battle, it was these poor people who rushed to the front. When these cannon fodder are exhausted, Fang La's real main force will be dispatched.

Fang La's tactic, at the beginning, caught the army of the Dahua Imperial Court off guard, and many troops suffered big losses with this tactic, and even wiped out the whole army.

The officers and men could not bear to kill the people in ragged clothes with hoes, wooden sticks and hoes in their hands, but those hungry people did not hesitate to kill the officers and soldiers. Because the families of these hungry people were held hostage in the rebel army in the rear.

If these hungry people did not rush or kill the officers and soldiers, their families would be put to death. If you don't have a family member, you don't have food. Under the threat of life and death and starvation of their families, these hungry people became mobs. It seems that he is holding a hoe and a wooden stick in his hand, and he is all disheveled, but when he kills people, he doesn't blink his eyes!

At this time, someone asked, why didn't these hungry people run away? I ran away and looked for something to eat by myself!

It's a pity that the reality is cruel and they have nowhere to run. Wherever the Fang La rebels passed, all the gold, silver, wealth, grain, and livestock were all looted!

If a country wants to feed an army, it needs countless money and food, how easy is this to say? Lu Zheng only had 50,000 Mongolian iron horsemen of grain and grass, so he forced Lu Zheng to take the risk of kidnapping Liang Muqing.

In a very short period of time, Fang La pulled up a team of more than 100,000 people. In such a hurry, how could he have any logistical support? What if there is no money and no food? You can only grab it! Who's robbing? of the people!

After being defeated several times by this tactic, the officers and men also summed up their experience. The order given later was a bit ruthless. In the eyes of others, it seems that the officers and soldiers are slaughtering the people. But in fact? Only these officers and soldiers know that these people are no longer ordinary people, but a group of mobs who kill people without blinking. If you don't kill him, he will kill you!

Therefore, in war, there is no justice or evil at all, only eternal interests. At first, they may have tried to survive in harsh taxes and forced labor, but as their ranks grew, they developed ambitions and desires to pursue greater gains.

Yue Fei's instigation at the gate of the city successfully escaped into the woods with the two or three thousand people. In this way, Fang La has fewer troops and cannon fodder, and the imperial court has less constraints and scruples. While saving the lives of these people, Yue Fei also relieved the pressure on the officers and soldiers in Hangzhou, which was a good thing that killed two birds with one stone.

The good thing was done, but then there was the problem of survival and food for two or three thousand people. Yue Fei stood on a high place and shouted before, and ran out with these people, and a few of these people in charge recognized Yue Fei.

After the refugees settled down a little, a person who was wearing civilian clothes but obviously had an extraordinary bearing brought a few people to talk to Yue Fei.

Yue Fei didn't expect that among these hungry people, there was actually a magistrate! The person who came to find Yue Fei was Gao Aimin, the magistrate of Xindeng County.

Most of these refugees fled all the way from Xindeng County to Hangzhou, and Gao Aimin is an honest official in Xindeng County who loves the people like a son, and he is indeed worthy of his name. These people of Xindeng County also respect him very much.

This time, the Fang La rebel army came too quickly, and the imperial court did not have time to send a large army. These neighboring counties can only draw troops and horses from each other.

Before Xindeng County encountered the crossing of Fangla's army, Gao Aimin only had six county officials in his hands. There were not many soldiers and horses in this county, and they were transferred to support Fuyang County, which was being attacked by Fang La's army. As for the other officials of the county government, they are all greedy for life and afraid of death, no one cares about the life and death of the people, and they all ran away without a trace.

For the sake of the survival of the people, Gao Aimin made a quick decision, and without waiting for the arrival of Fang La's righteous army, he directly took the six officials and the people of the county to Hangzhou, hoping to help the people win a glimmer of life.

On the way here, Gao Aiming kept encountering refugees fleeing from other places, and he couldn't bear the suffering of the people, so he took all these refugees into his team.

But Gao Aimin didn't expect that they had worked so hard to get to Hangzhou City, but they were turned away.

At that time, when the people were instigated by the spies of the righteous army, Gao Aimin's heart suddenly cooled. He knew that under the excitement of the crowd, he, the official of the imperial court, must be the first to die.

At this critical moment, a young, handsome and domineering teenager emerged, and he turned the tide in just a few words.

Others didn't see the purpose of Yue Fei's shouting at the city gate, but Gao Aiming was clear in his heart. Including the fact that Yue Fei signaled his men to kill the spies of Fang Layi's army, Gao Aimin saw it clearly.

Gao Aimin knew that this young man who shouted must have a great background. Surely, it's someone sent by the imperial court. He had seen dozens of people gathered around Yue Fei before, all of them fierce. Especially those two people, they killed people, not only silently, but also without even blinking their eyes, at first glance, they were veterans of a hundred battles from the army.

Gao Aimin didn't ask Yue Fei about the details, but just asked Yue Fei to help directly. He only had six servants under him, and he couldn't take care of the nearly 3,000-strong refugee army.

After Gao Aimin explained the situation, Yue Fei was also in awe of Gao Aimin, this is a good official who really thinks about the people!

Although Gao Aimin ran away with the people, this choice won Yue Fei's approval. In this kind of situation where there is no soldier to defend the city, if you are still stupidly waiting for the arrival of the Fangla Righteous Army, you are an idiot who pursues false fame. He himself has a reputation for sacrificing his life for the country, but the people have to sacrifice in vain.

Yue Fei decided that after this incident was over, he would definitely help Gao Aimin say a few fair words. At that time, even if the imperial court is intolerant, Yue Fei must find a way to save Gao Aimin's life.

The system of this era is like this, if you flee without a fight as a magistrate, even if you say that the sky is broken, you are a capital crime.

After discussing with Gao Aimin for a while, Yue Fei and Gao Aimin jointly decided to continue walking deeper into the forest to find a place with a water source. In this way, one is to avoid the threat of Fang La's rebels, and the other is to give the people more chances to survive.

If you don't eat, you can live for many days, but if you don't drink water, you will die quickly.

A team of nearly 3,000 people, under the leadership of Yue Fei and Gao Aimin, began to help the old and the young, and slowly walked to the depths of the woods.

Before the team set off, Yue Fei sent two subordinates from Orion to explore the front in advance, and once they found a water source, they would immediately come back to report the news.

In the middle of the procession, there was a woman in the crowd whose face was covered with mud and the bottom of the pot was black, and she kept looking at Gao Aimin.

Because she kept looking left and right, she didn't pay attention to her feet. When passing a slope, one of the feet was unstable and immediately rolled down the slope.

Yue Fei had noticed that this woman kept looking at his side, Yue Fei was wondering if this person was a fine work of Fang La's righteous army, and suddenly saw this woman fall down the slope, and there were many big trees under the slope, once she hit her head, she would not die but also be seriously injured.

Yue Fei was already very skilled, and he had been paying attention to this woman's movements, and when the woman had just fallen, Yue Fei started.

Yue Fei took three steps and made two steps, a few ups and downs under his feet, and instantly came to the bottom of the slope, stretched out his hand and gently copied it, and picked up the woman who was about to crash into the tree.

The woman was so frightened that she forgot to shout, and just looked at Yue Fei who was holding her blankly.

But when Gao Aimin below saw this scene, he shouted: "Yun'er! ”
