There are also many large and small ice blocks floating in the river, so that the people who operate the raft to cross the river have to be careful, before there were two rafts were hit by the big ice and overturned, the strong people who know how to water desperately rescued, but there are still six people killed, and two ploughing cattle were washed away.

Most of the people who have arrived on the south bank are encamped and waiting for those who come after; On the river, rafts compete for crossing; On the north shore, there are still many strong rafts that continue to be built.

The silk robe under the armor was blown loudly by the river wind, and Deng Ji stood on the bank, chasing the river in front of him to stretch eastward, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Six years ago, probably at this time, he was promoted by Tian Mazi to be the commander of the tun, and led dozens of strong people to cross the river north with the army of Yigen. Six years later, Tian Mazi became his subordinate, and now he is the pioneer of the road, crossing the river at the front, Xu Dumu and Fang Meng are like those acquaintances, most of them have been killed, but like Guo Shi, he has known more people, and there are thousands of elites and 200,000 people who go south with him.

The world is impermanent, six years have passed in the blink of an eye, speaking of which, I am already twenty years old, and people in this era are the years of weak crowns.

His own family has grown into a handsome man, and his beard is getting thicker, and no one can think of the appearance of the original "pimple" from the **, but it is the same as when he went north with the roots, and now although he is leading these many people to the south, the hesitation in his heart has not disappeared.

The future is unknowable, the future is not visible!

This is the second time he has crossed the Yellow River, and it is naturally very different from the weakness of six years ago, but for this chaotic world, whether it is the tun chief or the county order, it is also just an inconspicuous weed next to the road, and it can't withstand what kind of tossing, maybe when, it will be hoeed away.

People like ants, no one is immune to the wandering of the inner world, when will they be able to foresee their fate? Can you be completely worry-free?

Can you die of old age? Can you see a full house of children and grandchildren?

Sighing softly, when he turned his head to look, Tian Feng pressed his sword with one hand and stroked his beard with the other, only squinting at the raft crossing the river in front of him, and never said a word.

"Master Tian, let's cross the river later, here is the big car and the double halberd!"

The river wind was too strong, Deng Ji had to be louder, the military advisor turned his head to look at him, shook his head and said: "Henan is invincible, don't worry about me, only the north bank is afraid of the invasion of the rogues, and the guards should stay here to help the people defend!" ”

"Rogue Kou?" Deng Ji almost laughed, and said disapprerovitically: "Those are just hungry vagrants, they can't be called Kou, they have come here recently just to defect, so I don't need to worry about it anymore!" ”

After being sacked by the Xiongnu, there were many displaced people in Hanoi who lacked food and clothing, and when it was discovered that this huge team of more than 200,000 people, there were many refugees who followed and peeped along the way.

The courage of the hungry has always been not small, once they are gathered into a group, it is a huge threat, it is useless to disperse several times before and after the brave soldiers, and then they will all get together, and they have not gone far across the Zhangshui, they have been attacked several times, fortunately, the ordinary and strong people in the team are carrying weapons, but most of the displaced people are unarmed, even if the brave soldiers and auxiliary soldiers cannot arrive, the strong and young people in the team can kill them, and the damage is not great, but they have been tense and rarely rested. It wasn't until later, under the instruction of Tian Feng, that the front and rear teams gave orders to go down, give the displaced people some food, and then integrate them into the people, these people rushed to flock to the people, and the attack and harassment gradually disappeared, but when they reached the Yellow River, the team took in more than 10,000 people, and the food pressure was even greater.

For such homeless people who lack food and clothing, it is a blessing that they are willing to take them in, who will come to fight again?

Deng Ji was born recklessly, and he knows this best, so he is very relieved.

"Stupid, the life and death of 200,000 people are decided by you, how can you act carelessly?" Tian Feng was not as optimistic as him, although he was not angry, he scolded in his mouth, and when he saw that the guards were far away, he said in a low voice: "And if you want to be the master of the people, achieve a hegemony, when you show benevolence and virtue to close the army and the people, even if there is no danger, you are willing to cut it off personally, since there are people who admire and miss it, often do it, and accumulate more with a small amount of money as the way to collect the heart, and then you can no longer act rashly and casually!" How can you only care about your family? ”

Deng Zhong, Wu Jiao and the children had already crossed the river under the escort of Han Hao, and Tian Feng knew that his own disciple was in a hurry to join them.

After being taught by the master, Deng Ji understood what he meant after a while, so he had to bow down with a wry smile to show that he was taught.

"That being the case, the river here is very windy, and Master Tian will go back to the tent with me to rest!"

The rest of the people's livestock have to be counted over, not to mention it will take a day's work, since it is not over, there is no doubt here, let the person who is ready to cross the river go to the other side of the river to pass the second brother, let him take care of the family, Deng Jicai and Tian Feng went back to the camp tent set up by Tian Mazi before.

Tian Chou, Tian Mazi, Han Qi and others are all on the other side, and they all know that there is no one in Henan, and security over there is not a problem.

At night, the raft did not dare to cross the river, and was afraid that there would be a real disturbance of the homeless people, when it was dark, the people had lit torches everywhere, and strictly guarded all night, and some of the chariots, halberds, Dian Wei, Guo Shi and other parts were scattered.

At the time of the third watch, there was really a gong warning on the periphery, which woke Deng Ji up from his dream.

Tanma reported, this time is the real rogue, not to mention that they are all strong, and the equipment is still neat, Deng Ji was taken aback, and hurriedly ordered the rest of the guards to prepare for war.

There are brave soldiers and strong soldiers on the periphery, and the rogues can't rush in, and when Deng Ji's personal guards rush to kill, this branch of the rogue has already collapsed, and the prisoners have been inquired overnight before they know the truth.

It wasn't really some rogue who attacked, they were the officers and soldiers who had followed Zhang Yang to retreat south.

Yuan Benchu relied on Koji Yi to defeat Gongsun at the beginning of Jieqiao, and Gongsun Zhan's elite White Horse Yi was almost wiped out. Shangdang fell to the Xiongnu, heard that Zhang Yang could not escape, Yuan Shao let him be the Taishou of Hanoi, and garrisoned Dong Zhuo on the spot, but Hanoi lacked food, no food and grass to support the soldiers, and the officers and soldiers under his command pretended to be rogues and plundered everywhere, and Zhang Yang also pretended to be deaf and dumb.

When Zhang Yang found out that the southward brigade was the richest Deng Ji department in Taihang, and he could still scatter grain to take in the displaced people, it can be seen that there is a lot of surplus food, so he got up and plundered, but he had fought with Deng Pimple a few times before, and he also knew that this thief was not easy to be defeated, he ordered all around, but the rest of the officers and soldiers refused to come, only the commander of this small team of men and horses had his own strategy, begging for the order to come alone, and waited patiently until most of his troops had crossed the river, and then attacked the rest of the troops at night.

Knowing this, Deng Ji secretly called it a fluke, thanks to Tian Feng's stopping, otherwise he might really have to suffer the loss of a nobody.

Fortunately, he escaped from the Shehou Kingdom, Yuan Shao has defeated Gongsun Zhan, and he should soon become the lord of the northern land, right? It's just that I didn't expect to have to be a neighbor with Zhang Yang across the river, and it seems that I have to be entangled with him for a long time!

This small group of officers and soldiers failed to attack at night, and did not dare to come again, and the people continued to cross the river until dawn after nothing happened all night, and Deng Ji waited until the sky finally became dark, Fang crossed the river with Tai Shici, Che Huang and others, and finally set foot on the border of Henan.

This place belongs to Juan County, although it also belongs to Henan Yin, but to get to Luoyang, you have to pass through Xingyang, Chenggao, Gongxian, Yanshi and other counties, and you still have to cross Luoshui again, and there are hundreds of miles ahead.

Striker Tian Asako took the first step, and the team rested on the south bank for the whole night before setting off again.

Detian Chou dictated that Deng Ji had been prepared for the tragic situation in Henan, but when he really saw it, he couldn't help but be surprised.

When I first arrived in Jizhou, which was devastated by the Yellow Turban, six years ago, I saw a very tragic scene, but in comparison, Henan suffered a greater disaster.

All the way the fields are full of artemisia grass and dead branches; Under the artemisia grass, beside the road, and in the ravines, scattered white bones can be seen everywhere; In the dirt, there are occasional flashes of cold light, and if you look closely, they are all half-cut blades with rust stains.

Even the sky seems to be darker here, and a few black crows occasionally stop on the big trees on both sides, and they are not afraid, they just stare straight down, and the look is hairy.

At that time, there was no one in Jizhou, but there was still life near the city, but even the last vitality on this land disappeared.

When I arrived at the county seat, I saw that the stone wall was dilapidated, the city gate was open, and it was still far away, and I found that the paint on the iron sheet that wrapped the city gate had already fallen off, and it was replaced by red and yellow variegated rust spots.

The city is full of ruins, the roads have long been covered with all kinds of weeds, there are tenacious grass on the walls, there are cobwebs everywhere under the eaves, the wooden doors of several houses are crooked but still refuse to fall, and when the wind blows, it will suddenly "squeak" sound.

Even those who could escape had already fled, and those who could not have died had died, and there was no trace of the existence of the living here.

Six years ago, the appearance of Jizhou was sad and painful, but here it makes people's hairs stand on end.

After walking around the city gate, Deng Ji and Tian Feng lost the interest in entering, and the team leader continued to move forward.

Along the way, most people were silent.

Not only Juan County, but also Xingyang, Chenggao, Gongxian, and Yanshi, all of them have been seen along the way.

What about Ruyang?

Before crossing Luoshui, Deng Ji had been imagining what he was going to look like when he was about to enter the main territory, and soon, he saw it with his own eyes.

The north of the water is yang, the south is yin, the city is in the north of Luoshui, so it is called Luoyang, Liu Xiuding is at this time, believes that the Han Dynasty wins the world with fire, encounters water is unfavorable, goes to the word "Luo" next to the water, changes to the word "Jia", so it becomes "Luoyang", Henan Yin originally had a population of millions of people, nearly half of them are in the city. After more than ten generations of the Son of Heaven down, the city of Luoyang has been quite majestic, the city is rectangle from north to south, more than six miles from east to west, more than nine miles from north to south, the ratio of length and width is about three to two, covering an area of more than 300 hectares. The city wall is more than six zhang high, seven zhang wide, 30 miles long, south of Luoshui, northwest and east three city walls, a total of ten city gates, only with 4,000 brave soldiers and auxiliary soldiers, it is impossible to completely station these city gates.

In front of this majestic city, Deng Ji should have felt his insignificance, but looking at the dilapidated wall battlements and the blackened traces of fireworks, he was only sad and helpless.

This was the case the first time he went to Luoyang, not to mention Tian Feng, who had been an official here, and before he entered the city, Tian Yuanhao was already in tears.
