Chapter 111: Set up a barricade and wait solemnly
Half of the rogues have been wiped out, and as for those who fled to Yingcheng, it is the matter of Yingcheng Zhixian County, and it is not their turn to worry. The remaining problem is the nearly 10,000 displaced people who went north.
Who knows if there are still rogues in it, calculate the time, if they keep hurrying, they will arrive in Anlu tomorrow afternoon; If it drags, it's almost tomorrow night.
Lu Song thought for a while, looked back at the idiot and said, "You and Lu Bing took two people back to the city to tell the prince, how to deal with the homeless people, and ask His Highness to show ......" Speaking of this, he paused and said: "If Your Highness has no idea, please ask Your Highness to ask Lord Yuan." ”
The idiot responded, and went to the forest with Lu Bing to get the mount first.
Tiger Head and Chen Chizhong Bing didn't know when they had come out, and they were still standing behind Xing Baihu.
Chen Chizhong's arm seemed to be wounded, wrapped in cotton cloth, and his face was a little ugly. The tiger head is still the same, and when he saw the idiot looking at him, he grinned, and his eyes were still pure.
Such a tiger head is not bloodless, but he will not take those to heart. Children are the most innocent, and children are sometimes the most cruel.
Dao idiot glanced at Xing Baihu again, Xing Baihu's evil aura was heavier, and he became more and more satisfied when he looked at the tiger's head.
The idiot exhaled, beckoned Lu Bing to get on the horse, and took the two captains back to the city.
Forty miles of road, all official roads, and several people's mounts are all good horses, so it took less than an hour to return to Anlu City.
The gate of Anlu City is still open, but judging from the flickering figures on the tower of the city gate, there are already troops on this side.
After returning to the palace, Lu Bing and Dao Idiot strode straight to the Qiyun Palace.
When the prince heard the news of the two coming back, he hurriedly called in.
The Taoist idiot concisely said about the ambush of more than 100 rogues, and also passed on Lu Song's words, asking the prince for advice on how to deal with the homeless people.
The prince was happy at first, then frowned again, hesitated, and ordered the internal affairs to invite Yuan Zonggao.
Yuan Zonggao came over, took the news from Lu Song's side, twisted his beard, and frowned. Of course, it would be better for these homeless people to be turned away, but in that case, the good reputation of the palace for loving the people would be gone. If you really want to let these people enter Anlu, they will be mixed, and I don't know what chaos will happen.
Yuan Zonggao thought for a while, and finally came up with a way to talk to the prince. That is to set up a card at the boundary marker between Anlu Prefecture and Yunmeng County, and in the name of chasing and suppressing Dakou, slowly "verify" the identities of these displaced people, and temporarily block the displaced people from Anlu Prefecture.
The follow-up on the Hubei Metropolitan Division should almost be decided, and the palace should also be urged. They have the responsibility to defend the land, and they must not allow the displaced people to run around and affect stability.
Of course, in order to appease these displaced people, it is necessary to transport grain over there.
Most of the homeless people are just trying to get a bite to eat, as long as they are given a way to live, few dare to fight with the government.
If after a few days of delay, there is still no news from the Huguang Division, then these people can only enter Anlu. On the Wangfu side, the Zhizhou Yamen can lead these displaced people to the river valley plain in the name of repairing the river dam, and take care of them in a unified manner.
Far away from the state capital, there will be many fewer hidden security hazards.
When the prince heard this, his face turned black. Of course, he understands that with the faces of those people in Hubei Dusi, even if they urge, they are mostly going through the motions, and it is strange that they are willing to come forward to take over the trouble, and most of the resettlement of these displaced people will fall in Anlu Prefecture.
But there was no other way, the prince of the world commanded the idiot a few words, and thought of sending them back to the Anyun border, but when he saw Lu Bing with a dull face, he said: "You follow the toss for a day, just stay in the palace." ”
Lu Bing shook his head without hesitation and said, "Your Highness, I can do it!" ”
Thinking that these people were sleeping outside tonight in order to deal with the homeless people who were coming tomorrow, the prince looked at Lu Bing's eyes with a little distress, and instructed Lu Fang to wrap the two plates of dim sum in the hall and hand them to Lu Bing, before allowing the two of them to leave.
"Da Lang has grown up." In the heart of the son, there is the melancholy of my family having a younger brother growing up.
When Dao Idiot and Lu Bing returned to the Anyun border, it was already dusk.
Hearing that the prince intended to set up a card at the border, Lu Song couldn't help frowning.
Dao idiot said: "Your Highness said that five hundred guards will be sent tonight to follow the grain cart to come." It's almost there before the third watch. ”
Lu Song listened to this, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Nearly 10,000 homeless people, if there is really something wrong, it is not something that 500 people can stop, of course, the more people, the better.
Seeing that Dao Idiot and Lu Bing were also tired, Lu Song waved his hand and sent them to rest.
Although everyone only brought out dry food for one day, they were definitely not worried about the lack of food at the moment, because of the dead horses.
Lu Song had already arranged for spies to go to the nearby Zhuangzi to buy salt, and a few open spaces were cleared on both sides of the official road, and more than a dozen bonfires were built with gas, and everyone gathered together to roast horse meat and eat it.
Seeing Dao Idiot and Lu Bing coming, Tiger Head held up a piece of horse meat and handed it to Lu Bing. Lu Bing looked at the faint redness on it, couldn't help retching, and hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it.
The tiger head's face showed a little confusion.
The idiot said: "He was riding a horse upside down, and his stomach was uncomfortable, so the tiger head ate it by himself first." ”
The tiger head nodded, no longer looked at Lu Bing, but pulled the Taoist idiot to sit down in front of him.
Chen Chizhong was also there, biting a piece of horse meat in his mouth, chewing slowly, and nodded when he saw the Taoist idiot coming over.
After waiting for the Taoist idiot to sit down, the tiger head dug a pit next to the bonfire with a knife, and took out two black charcoal balls the size of his fist, and sent them to the Taoist idiot like a treasure.
There was a small flag sitting next to him, it was Xing Baihu's subordinates, and the Taoist idiot had also seen it.
Seeing the tiger's move, the little flag smiled and said: "It turned out to be left for Wang Erlang, but Boss Xing was happy for a long time, and it took a grind." ”
The idiot smiled and picked up a tuber that looked like something. In this era, there were no potatoes or sweet potatoes, such a large tuber, coupled with this round shape, there were only taro.
Break one open, and sure enough, the white and soft taro meat inside is revealed.
Lu Bing was hungry for a long time, and when he saw that the roast horse meat had no appetite, he couldn't help but come over when he smelled the aroma of taro. The two plates of dim sum that Shizi asked someone to wrap for him, before he left the city, he ate them with the Taoist idiot and the other two captains.
The tiger head was not as easy to talk as usual, stretched out his arms, blocked the Taoist idiot, and looked at Lu Bing vigilantly.
Seeing this, Lu Bing was surprised and said with a smile: "Brother Hutou, you don't leave me something delicious, and you don't allow me to ask for a piece of food with my second brother?" ”
Tiger Head was serious and said, "Erlang...... No meat...... There's a lot of meat, and you ...... meat."
Lu Bing heard the word "meat" constantly, and his stomach was tumbling again. However, he also understood the meaning of the tiger head, and he was a vegetarian and did not eat meat, so the tiger head deliberately left taro for him. As for yourself, you can eat horse meat for food like others.
Lu Bing sat down with a wry smile, not to mention horse meat, even if chicken and fish were placed in front of him, he couldn't eat it.
The Taoist idiot pulled the tiger's head and said, "Divide him first, and then let's find three or four after eating." ”
The tiger head struggled for a while, but still nodded.
The idiot handed a taro to Lu Bing.
Lu Bing is the time to grow his body, even if he has a heart, it will not affect his appetite at all.
Three or five mouthfuls of a fist-sized taro swallowed it, he felt more and more hungry, and said pitifully: "Second brother, quickly ask Brother Hutou, where did you get this, let's go get a few more." ”
As he spoke, both of them looked at the tiger's head.
Tiger Head raised his arm and pointed to the southwest.
Seeing this, the little banner who spoke earlier added: "There is a village five miles southwest of the country, and the salted salt and pepper of the Fang Cai brothers are supplied from the village over there. ”
When Lu Bing heard this, he couldn't help but move, and the little flag smiled: "But you don't have to go over deliberately, Lord Lu has already arranged for people to go over." Many of the brothers on the side of the Honor Guard Division saw blood for the first time today, and they couldn't eat meat. ”
Lu Bing laughed twice, feeling that he had been seen through, and sat down with a hot face.
One time less, sure enough, a dozen riders came back from the southwest direction, bringing a few bags of taro. Tiger Head and Lu Bing went over, grabbed more than a dozen of them, buried them in the ground again, and moved the bonfire on them.
When the taro was almost ripe, the sky became darker and darker.
Lu Song saw that everyone was eating about the same, so he gathered people together and began to cut down trees and set up cards.
Those who were killed and captured, Lu Song also had a settlement. The corpses of the rogue were all hung up as a deterrent. Those who are alive are tightly bound, divided into two groups of guards, one group is the bandits under the five Jiang brothers, and the other group is the rebellious people among the displaced people.
The homeless people will only arrive tomorrow, and this newly released level did not scare the homeless, but scared everyone to death.
In the dense forest in the wild, the wind whined, the shadows of the trees swayed, and because of the end of the month, there was only a moon in the second half of the night, which seemed more and more dark and gloomy.
Even adults feel cautious and panicked, not to mention Lu Bing, a half-grown child.
Lu Bing stuck to the idiot's side, not leaving a step. The Taoist idiot frowned and looked at the set level, thinking about tomorrow.
Whether it was Shizi or Yuan Zonggao, they didn't expect much from Huguang Dusi, and they had already made the final plan in their hearts, which was to accept this group of displaced people.
Receiving displaced people and providing them with work is indeed the most appropriate way.
But is this a good thing for the son?
If it is preached, when everyone is talking about the benevolence of the prince, will they also think that the prince is a shrewd person?
The big guy in the capital, after the death of Zhengde, chose the son as the successor, of course, it will not be according to the ancestral family law of "brother to brother". The advantage of choosing the son as the emperor's heir is that the son has no father, no brother, and no younger brother, even if the Xingwang lineage becomes the emperor's lineage, it will not have much impact on the clan and the court situation; The second advantage is that King Xing was heavy on the Tao during his lifetime, and he was indifferent to fame, fortune and power, and most of the sons taught by Lao Tzu were also indifferent to power.
In addition to the support of the courtiers, the gentle young man who has no help is the most suitable candidate for the Son of Heaven in the eyes of those in power.
The idiot is planning to hold the thigh of the son, of course he doesn't want anything to change.
If the prince can't succeed to the throne, he, the former son of the world, will be able to make great achievements even if he is a scholar in the imperial examination, because of his close relationship with the vassal king.
Thinking of this, the Taoist idiot knew that this was not the time to hide clumsy, so he called the tiger head, handed Lu Bing to the tiger head, and strode to find Lu Song......
