Chuanjun Barracks.

The sound is monstrous, and countless recruits are undergoing high-intensity training, running around with heavy loads, climbing obstacles, slashing and fighting, wrestling with each other in the muddy water in the cold wind, and so on.

Ye Gucheng watched and inspected while listening to the superintendent's report on the training results.

"In the army, there is one from the royal capital, a native of the Western Realm, named Li Jun?" Ye Gucheng mentioned it seemingly casually.

The governor was stunned for a moment, and said truthfully: "Yes." ”

"How's this guy?"

"He's a buildable material, he's very aggressive, and he can be at the top of all his training. ”

"Where is he now?"

"I'm practicing martial arts in the quagmire. The general thought for a moment and said in a loud voice: "Pass, Li Jun." ”

"Yes!"

Soon, the guards came to the quagmire and said in a loud voice: "Li Jun is out of the ranks, and the commander wants to see you." ”

In the quagmire, a teenager walked away quickly under the envious gaze around him.

Ye Gucheng looked at the clay figure that came as he stepped forward, his eyes were full of appreciation.

"Recruit Li Jun, see the commander! See the overseer!" Li Jun saluted respectfully.

"Is it cold or not?"

"Returning to the commander, it's not cold!" Li Jun endured a cold snap, and it was indeed not cold when he was training to fight, but now he was standing alone, and his whole body was cold.

Ye Gucheng looked at Li Jun, who was pretending to be cold, slowly turned sideways, and said angrily: "Put on your clothes, follow me!"

"Obey!" Li Jun breathed a sigh of relief, regardless of the mud all over his body, took the clothes handed by the guards, and put them on in twos and threes to keep up.

On the side, the guard whispered: "Overseer, have you noticed that the commander is different from Li Jun, and the commander is not called the commander in front of Li Jun?"

"If you don't know what you are doing, don't be smart. The Overseer scolded.

"The subordinate is guilty. The guards hurriedly confessed.

"Listen more, watch more, talk less. ”

"Yes!"

Ye Gucheng didn't know how long he walked, until he stopped in a secluded place. "Jun'er, I intend to let you go to the West for special training, are you willing to go?"

"The commander has an order, and Li Jun will obey it. ”

"Okay, there are no outsiders here, just call me brother-in-law, commander-in-chief, it's too raw. ”

"Etiquette cannot be abolished!" Li Jun said solemnly: "In the army, Li Jun is a soldier, and he does not dare to go beyond the times. ”

Ye Gucheng originally wanted to ask for warmth, but now that he thought about it, it might not be conducive to military discipline, so he could only give up, and continued to take a step and said: "Prepare and set off tomorrow!"

"Yes!"

Just as Ye Gucheng walked out of the barracks, a general came quickly.

"Commander, Northern Emergency!"

Ye Gucheng's smile gradually receded, and he said in a deep voice: "Go back to the palace!"

"Yes!"

North, Peaks City.

Xuanyuan Xue personally led the whole army to cut down trees to make obstacles, the obstacle is more than 2 meters high, 5 meters long, the surrounding are sharp wooden thorns, the left and right are fixed, only the middle is left as a channel, every few names, a vacancy, can be used for thousands of soldiers to set up a formation to resist the enemy, this defense project stretches for dozens of miles, quite spectacular.

In the distance, an endless stream of refugees from Nansheng Kingdom are queuing up to pass through the checkpoint, or frightened, or blank, you name it!

"General!" A general looked at the endless refugees and said worriedly: "The north is now short of food, and so many refugees have been taken in all of a sudden, and the subordinates are worried about continuing, I am afraid that the north will completely run out of food!"

Xuanyuan Xue didn't think about this problem, for this reason, she specially sent a private message to Zhang Yi to urgently ask for food, thought about it, and said in a deep voice: "How much food is still in the army?"

"Save money and last half a month!"

Half-moon!

The severity of the situation was beyond Xuanyuan Xue's expectations, her pretty face sank, and she said angrily: "Continue to urge food." ”

"Yes!"

At this moment, Yu Wenhao came quickly, and when he saw Xuanyuan Xue, he hurriedly said: "General, it's not good!

The refugee camp, the gathering place of the Nansheng people, was located on the outskirts of the country, and in order not to cause chaos in the kingdom, it was built under the jurisdiction of the legion, and due to the large population, the army divided the refugees into multiple camps.

Due to the temporary setting, the living environment is extremely harsh, and they can only rely on simple tents to live in the cold, but the real fatal is the shortage of food, many people are hungry, and can only rely on wild grasses to feed their hunger.

But there are too many people, and they can eat all that they can eat! Sickness and cold alternately, corpses are strewn all over the field, and people who are hungry and unbearable begin to look at the corpses, and some people are not satisfied with the status quo and begin to storm the army garrisons, taking advantage of the chaos to flee, wandering and committing crimes in the countryside, burning, killing, looting and plundering to the extreme, and the cruelty of the methods is outrageous.

Most of the soldiers in the army are natives of the north, including many relatives of the victims, under the grief and indignation, regardless of whether they are innocent or not, pouring into the refugee camp is a burst of slashing, and the blood flows like a river in an instant, if it is not for Yu Wenhao who rushed to hear the news, I am afraid that the civilians in the refugee camp will be killed.

Xuanyuan Xue was dripping with blood, silently moving forward, around, full of refugees who had died in vain, suddenly, she stopped her steps, and there were two corpses lying in front of her, one big and one small, the small one was a little girl in her early sixs, her eyes were full of horror before she died, the little girl was next to a woman, and the woman's hand was holding the little girl tightly, as if she wanted to protect her in her arms, but unfortunately, she still couldn't do it after all!

The chill in Xuanyuan Xue's eyes flashed, and she slowly raised her head and stared coldly ahead.

Directly ahead, countless refugees huddled together, I don't know whether it was because of the cold or fear, everyone's body trembled, and the atmosphere did not dare to gasp.

"Why?" Xuanyuan Xue's eyes were full of coldness, and she gritted her teeth and said: "The kingdom provides you with food and drink, and gives you a place to rest and recuperate, not only are you not grateful, but you also make trouble everywhere and kill the people, is this the way you Nansheng people behave?"

Seeing this, a general took the opportunity to admonish: "General, after all, the southern barbarians have wolf ambitions, and the kingdom is a problem for raising tigers, and the last general thinks that it is better to kill them all, so that the problem of food shortage in the north can also be alleviated." ”

"Please give the order of the general and slaughter the Nanban. ”

Many soldiers knelt down one after another, and these people hated the people of Nansheng, because their family members or comrades died at the hands of the people of Nansheng.

Yu Wenhao's face changed slightly, and he said urgently: "General think twice, the commander asked me to appease the people of Nansheng, if it is a hasty killing, the commander will definitely be held accountable." ”

"Yuwen Prison Army!" The general who asked for the order turned pale and said in a loud voice: "The commander asked me to wait for the shelter of good people and not thieves, don't look at them pretending to be innocent one by one, but in fact, they harbor evil intentions and intend to mess with my kingdom." ”

Seeing the murderous spirit of the soldiers, Yu Wenhao was anxious, and said loudly to the refugees: "Huaxia, a country of benevolence and righteousness, it is absolutely not good to kill innocents, among you, who is involved in the flow of crimes, come out quickly, don't involve the innocent." ”

I don't know how long later, dozens of people trembled out of the refugees, including children in their teens.

If such a person is said to be a bandit, who can believe it?

"You, why do you want to kill our citizens?" Yu Wenhao asked in a loud voice.

A woman knelt on the ground and cried: "General, I didn't kill anyone, I was just hungry, so I couldn't help but go out and steal some food." ”

"Yes, general, look at the old man, how this frame kills people, I just stole some wild vegetables in the field. ”

"I've been hungry for too long, and I'm just trying to find some food when I flee in chaos, and we don't dare to kill anyone, so please ask the general to investigate." ”

There was an endless stream of shouting grievances, and some hugged their heads and cried.

"Hungry for too long?" Xuanyuan Xueqiao's face turned cold again, staring coldly at the general on the side, the latter subconsciously lowered his head, turned his gaze again, and said in a deep voice: "How long was that?"

"Back to the general, it's been more than ten days! I haven't eaten decent food for more than ten days, and if you look at the weeds here, we've all eaten them all. An old man fell to the ground and wept: "We are very grateful to Huaxia for taking them in, but we are also human beings, and we really can't bear the pain of hunger." ”

"More than ten days?" Xuanyuan Xue's expression changed drastically, she looked at the general again, and said angrily: "Xuanyuan Lei Hao, do you have anything to say?"

The general gritted his teeth and knelt down and said: "General Qiyu, the last general did seize the grain of the southern barbarians, but the general, our food is not much, and some of the people in the north are already hungry, and the last general is really unwilling to send the grain in vain." ”

Xuanyuan Xue roared angrily: "Someone!"

Several guards quickly stepped forward.

"Escorted, fifty rods, dismissed. "Xuanyuan Xue has shown mercy, according to the law, this is a capital crime!

"General. The general did not struggle, and let the guards escort him away, but he was unwilling to roar: "You can't give them any more food, the northern border will be dragged down!"

"Herald. Xuanyuan Xue gritted her teeth and said in a loud voice: "Half of the army's food reserves will be taken out and sent to the refugee camp." ”

The generals changed color, and their eyes were full of anger when they looked at Yu Wenhao, they didn't dare to blame Xuanyuan Xue, but they didn't hide their hatred for Yu Wenhao at all.

In this regard, Yu Wenhao smiled bitterly in addition to a wry smile.

"What?" Xuanyuan Xueqiao's face sank, and she said angrily: "General Ben's words, can't you hear them?"

"Yes!"

The refugees were overjoyed and knelt down and kowtowed.

"Return to the camp, conduct another thorough investigation, and indiscriminately kill refugees, and be dealt with by military law. Xuanyuan Xue was the first to leave.

"Yes!"

The soldiers Mu Ran received the order.

On the way, Yu Wenhao hesitated for a long time, and couldn't help but say: "General, it is not a long-term solution to call for military rations, and the soldiers still have to resist the enemy, if they don't have enough to eat, I'm afraid they will change!"

"Isn't this the result you want?Otherwise, why bother to pull me all the way over, what's the matter, I regret it now?" Xuanyuan Xue glanced at Yu Wenhao angrily.

Yuwen Hao said that he did know that there were people in the army who privately withheld the food of the refugees, and he had tried to advise, but unfortunately it was fruitless, and now that the matter is getting bigger, he has to ask Xuanyuan Xue to come forward, but it is not what he expected.

I don't know how long it took, Xuanyuan Xue sighed lightly and said slowly: "At that time, if there is no food in the army, I will use war horses to fill my hunger first, hoping that the commander can prepare food and salary in time." ”

"War horses are hungry?" Yu Wenhao's face changed slightly, and he said urgently: "In this way, how can the soldiers resist the enemy?"

"Resist the enemy!" Xuanyuan Xue smiled bitterly and said indifferently: "The millions of troops in the Nansheng Kingdom can't stop the undead legion, and the soldiers of Qifeng City are only 500,000, do you really think that we can retreat from the enemy? ”

Yu Wenhao stared blankly at the shadow that was getting farther and farther away, his eyes slowly reddened, he knew that Xuanyuan Xue was determined to defend Qifeng City, otherwise, it would be impossible to cut off his own retreat!
