When Liu Cong looked down, he saw that in the soil nest under his feet, there were black nests of men and women sleeping one by one, and there was no bonfire.

These men and women were still doing the reluctance, but they pushed the children aside.

From time to time, the cry of a child sounded, one after another. "It must have been frozen." Liu Cong thought.

I only heard Liang Zhu'er say to Lai Fatzi behind him: "It's really called Huazi xx - poor music!" ”

Liu Cong turned around and kicked Liang Zhu'er, without squeaking, he turned around and walked back, thinking as he walked: "These hundreds of thousands of people are a fortune." However, it is not possible to use ?????? How did they get mixed up and not starve to death on the way? Is there any other way to survive if you can come over like this on the road? I'm going to ask them, tomorrow, yes! Just tomorrow.

In addition, I have to ask them about their motives and requirements, if they live in Jingzhou in peace, I will have to find a way. Otherwise, he ordered 100,000 Jingzhou soldiers to kill them from the beginning, cut them one by one, and threw their bodies into the Xiangjiang River. ”

When Liu Cong thought of this, the hallucinations in his consciousness were displayed in the night, and the corpses of refugees were floating on the surging waters of the Xiangjiang River.

Liu Cong muttered to himself: "Huh? It's not a good sight. History has never seen a history of murder of displaced people. Cao Cao slaughtered the city, it was not a slaughter of the homeless, he had an excuse, saying that it was the slaughter of the city.

But I will rule with righteousness, and I will use people to save people! Only those who win the hearts of the people can win the world.

Right! Tomorrow we will take a look at the leader of the displaced people and see what he has and what he wants.

There will always be a way, and historically, no official has been killed by the exiles. Haha, right! Just do it. ”

Early the next morning, Liu Cong got up and came to the courtyard of the post station to play a long fist, and practiced until he was sweaty before he stayed.

At this time, I heard the sound of someone walking outside the courtyard, and the guard dog in the post station had already barked.

When Liu Cong was about to open the door and go out to see, the post station official came out and stopped Liu Cong and said: "Don't go out first, the lord doesn't go out yet, these homeless people see that the family has opened the door, and they immediately rush over to ask for it." I can't handle it, my lord.

sent a batch and a batch came, but it was better not to send it.

Here the dogs bark urgently, and the door does not open, so they will not come in and ask for it. ”

Liu Cong was anxious to see what was going on, so he ignored the obstruction and shouted at Liang Zhu'er to follow out.

The three of them went out and walked to the bank of the Xiangjiang River, and when they looked around as they walked, they saw that in the vague morning light, a large number of displaced people had left the river bank and walked to the north together.

At this time, there were already more than a dozen homeless people and Liu Cong coming head-on, and when Liu Cong looked at it, there were two or three young men and women among the dozen homeless people, and the rest were all children, ranging in age, some in their teens, and some in seven or eight years old.

When these homeless people saw Liu Cong and the others, they avoided with frightened faces and made way.

After missing his body, when Liu Cong looked into the distance, he saw that many refugees were climbing the riverbank and keeping up with the begging procession. They were all dressed in tatters, wrapped in rags, wrapped in straw ropes, gray-headed, and bloodless.

Liu Cong didn't want to look any further, so he stood on the side of the road and instructed Liang Zhu'er: "Go, ask them, who is their leader and where they live." ”

Liang Zhu'er was about to leave, but Liu Cong was afraid that he would not be able to do anything, so he instructed: "If they don't tell me, you can say that the officials of the Jingzhou Yamen will meet with you and discuss relief for you." ”

Liang Zhu'er agreed, and after a while, he brought four or five homeless people, all of whom were spirited people, although their faces were haggard, their two eyes were very energetic, and at a glance they knew that they were the kind of characters who would never let go when they saw a bargain.

Liu Cong sat on a stone under a mulberry tree on the side of the road, looking at them with a gentle face, and beside him was a hemp pole with a knife in his hand.

The hemp pole stood close to Liu Cong, his eyes fixed on the visitors, so that he wanted to watch out for their murderous appearance.

These homeless people had already seen that Liang Zhu'er said that the officials of the Jingzhou Yamen wanted to receive them, and they were a little frightened when they came here, so they stood there with their shoulders bowed down, waiting for Liu Cong to ask.

Liu Cong asked in a good voice, "Where are you from?" ”

"From Jizhou."

"How many people are there?"

"I don't know."

"Who are you in charge?"

"General Deng Bao!"

Speaking of Deng Bao, these people suddenly showed a little confidence on their faces, Liu Cong was aware of this change, so he stopped asking, turned his face and ordered Ma Zhu'er: "Go back, ask the post station for a few steamed buns to send them." Ma Pole shouted: "Oh! He turned around and walked away.

Liu Cong said again: "Each of you will be given a steamed bun in a while, are you willing to take this to General Deng Bao?" ”

The group of outcasts shouted in unison: "Yes! We have to go to General Deng Bao to solve the problem. ”

After a while, Ma Zhuer brought out the steamed buns and distributed one to each of them. The refugees rejoiced and gulped.

Liu Cong instructed: "Eat slowly, don't choke." While eating, take these two to General Deng. ”

After Liu Cong finished instructing, he turned his face to Liang Zhu'er and said, "When I saw General Deng, I would talk to him, and I said that I invited him over to discuss important matters." ”

With that, Liu Cong got up and went back to the post station. When I came back, I sat in the inn room and waited.

After staying for about half an hour, I heard Ma Zhu'er asking for instructions outside the door: "Lord, General Deng has arrived." ”

Liu Cong hurriedly changed his face and went out to greet him, and instructed the post station officials: "Prepare breakfast and eat it in the guest room." ”

Liu Cong saw Deng Bao at the gate of the post station.

Deng Bao's demeanor made Liu Cong's eyes shine.

Liu Cong looked at the fact that he had never seen a person like Deng Bao, and exclaimed in his heart: "This is a bloody man!" ”

I saw Deng Bao with messy hair, eyebrows and mustaches together, dusty faces, tattered clothes wrapped around his body, toes sticking out from the front of his bast shoes, and only two eyes left in his body, showing a determined look.

This Deng Bao didn't give a salute when he saw Liu Cong come out, he stood straight, stared at Liu Cong for a while, and muttered: "Cao Yingya goalkeeper Deng Bao." ”

Deng Bao can be regarded as self-reporting.

I saw him say it, stretched out his hand to the back of his neck and pinched it for a while, withdrew his hand and brought his two fingers to his eyes to take a closer look, and pressed his two thumbs at it, only to hear a snapping sound, and then knocked his hands down, and then looked at Liu Cong and asked, "What are your orders?" ”

Liu Cong knew that Deng Bao had strangled a louse just now.

Then, Liu Cong thought of the homeless people in front of his eyes, and knew that lice were not poor.

Liu Cong stretched out his hand to invite: "Strong man, please come into the house and speak." ”

Deng Bao was not humble, followed up, and muttered: "Don't dare to be, under Deng Bao, Cao Yingya's goalkeeper." ”

Liu Cong admired in his heart - leading hundreds of thousands of refugees alone to flee thousands of miles in these turbulent years is not something ordinary people can do.

"May I ask the strong man, as the goalkeeper of Cao Yingya, why don't you guard the pass but escort the refugees?"

At this time, Liu Cong already knew about Deng Bao's experience.

Deng Bao didn't answer directly, he still lowered his head to pick up the lice, and asked, "What are your orders?" And he said, "No, I just want them to live!" Can you do it? ”

Liu Cong had never seen such an upright person, and asked rhetorically: "How can I survive it?" ”

"Give them food!"

"Any more requests?"

"Nope!"

"If you want to eat, you have to work hard, there is no one in the world to find a father to raise."

"Of course! If you want them to do their work, you can arrange a place for them to live. ”

"It's going to have to take your time."

"Alright. Are you the history of Jingzhou Thorn? ”

"It's not!"

"Then I can't trust you."

"However, I have the final say in Jingzhou's affairs."

"That's good. Please prepare 20,000 steamed buns and take them out before dark. I will believe you. ”

"It's hard to do, there's not enough time, and I can't get this amount of flour for a while." 022
