Chapter 3 Don't Come Unharmed

But I saw a sturdy man standing proudly on the rocky rocks in the middle of the river, ragged, standing barefoot on the rocks, the faint momentum between his eyebrows was sharp and resolute, making his whole person look like a rock superimposed on the big rocks, and his slightly indifferent and empty eyes swept towards the military array on the south bank.

Wu Cheng's heart was stunned, and the man on the rock, Danxi, was restrained, but he gave people perseverance and unyielding momentum like a rock hitting the stream, but it was no worse than General Zhang Zhongdao.

Wu Cheng noticed that when the man stood on the rocky rock and shot down the chaotic arrows, Xu Ruyu, Zhang Zhongdao, and Zhao Jingyun's faces changed slightly, but they didn't expect to go elsewhere, and secretly said: There is a peerless master hidden among the homeless people, but it is surprising.

The man's halberd pointed to the general who led the troops on the shore, and said in a deep voice: "The inner court has been overturned, Xu Ruyu has taken Jiangning, and the world has been torn apart, so how can the country be established, isn't it by virtue of this army that can only shoot and kill unarmed people?" The tone was mournful, falling on the glacier, corresponding to the sound of the waves.

When the general heard this, his voice changed and he was frustrated, but he still didn't forget to let the longbowmen form a dense arrow array to seal the space in front of the man, in case the man suddenly attacked and swept over.

Seeing that no one responded, the man continued to say in a deep voice: "The homeless people on the north bank, without food and clothing, do not know how many people die in the wilderness, only to go to Jiangning, there is still a glimmer of life, but Xu Ruyu is also a wolf, and has the idea of dominating the hegemon, and disregards the lives of civilians and blocks the way south. ”

The general came to his senses, snorted coldly, and said, "With your skills, who is not the position of general?" If you are allowed to mix in Jiangning, how can you take care of the safety of the people in Jiangning? "There are more than a dozen soldiers with Mo knives on the left and right, and they protect the general in a dense knife formation, the sword is bright and shining, and the snow shines.

The man laughed loudly, and the laughter penetrated the sky, and it did not stop, stirring up the waves in the heart of the river, and then stopped, opened his eyes angrily, and shouted: "Blind to your eyes, Xu still disdains to be an eagle dog of other families." Before the words fell, the rags under the placket were drumming up angrily, and the momentum of domineering and domineering came out of the body, bullying and invading like a knife, wanting to rush over.

A young woman struggled out of the crowded human wall on the other side of the river with a baby in her arms, and screamed to the heart of the river: "Jingcheng, you can't go to Jiangning, you won't starve to death immediately; If you want to make trouble, how about me and Ce'er? The baby in his arms woke up and began to cry, his voice hoarse, and he had no strength, thinking that he was hungry.

The man heard the baby's cry, the fierce flame in his eyes was slightly subsided, and he turned his head to look over, and his eyes were already gentle. Dozens of men in the river climbed up the rocky rock, stood behind the man, looked at the crowd crowded on the rocky, hesitated on his face, thought for a moment, did not dare to give a decisive order to shoot, and shouted: "A certain person is ordered to close the river, and those who cross the border will be dealt with among the enemy." Coming sporadically, I can still turn a blind eye, and I even race on a pontoon bridge, if I ignore it, I can only return to the camp to pay the order. Don't force me to shoot civilians. ”

The man looked over and asked, "Who is the commander here, and can I go over and petition for the homeless?" ”

The colonel said: "There is a lot of movement here, it will definitely alarm the camp, General Xu is here to find it, you want to petition, just wait in Shiji for the time being." If you want to make trouble, you must cross the river, and you must also kill you, and the power of Jiangning cannot be ignored. ”

The man snorted coldly, stood still on the rock, and asked, "Can you tell General Xu his name?" ”

Seeing that the man no longer moved, the general's nervousness eased slightly, and said, "Captain Xu is a female general in Jiangning. ”

The man's face froze, and in a blink of an eye, his eyes were already a little sad, and he turned his head to look back, but he saw that the light in the eyes of the people crowded on the river embankment was the candle flame in the twilight, and it was flickering and flickering, which made people unbearable to see, sighed slightly, turned his head, and finally stood still on the rock, standing still.

Xu Ruyu's eyes fell on the face of the young woman on the other side, and the woman's eyes fell on the body of the baby in her arms, full of tenderness. Xu Ruyu sighed slightly, turned his head sideways and said to Zhang Zhongdao: "Jing Cheng has been away for a few years, and when we meet again, we will marry a wife and have children." ”

Zhang Zhongdao said: "Their brother and sister recognize each other, should we still stand up?" ”

"How can you avoid it? I can't avoid Jingcheng, how can I avoid the homeless people who don't look at the road on the other side? He turned to Zhao Jingyun and said, "Quickly let Mr. Shao, Bo Ying, Fang Su, Zhang Xu, and Li Ting come to Tianchang to discuss matters." ”

Zhao Jingyun leaned on his horse to write the paperwork, and the two Jingwei went down the river embankment and ran to the nearest post house to give orders.

Hundreds of elite horsemen galloped over, Xu Zhaorong's delicate face was hidden in the bright helmet, passing by Xu Ruyu and others, he was slightly stunned, silent, and was about to dismount to meet him. Seeing Xu Ruyu pouting at the heart of the river, Xu Zhaorong looked over, stunned, and forgot to stop his mount, and rushed straight to the past, until he reached the military formation, he came to his senses, got off the horse, and his eyes were full of tears.

When the general saw that Xu Zhaorong really rushed over in person, his nervous mind for a long time finally eased down, stepped forward to the military salute, and said, "Tianchang County Inspector Shen Lizong will see General Xu." The displaced people on the other side of the river made pontoon bridges with branches and wood, and wanted to cross the river, but they could not detect any traces of the Eastern Navy for the time being, so they asked General Xu to decide. ”

Xu Zhaorong didn't hear it, he looked at Hexin in a daze, and his voice choked: "How has my eldest brother been doing in the past few years?" ”

The general was stunned there, but he didn't expect that the man on the rocks was Xu Zhaorong's brother.

Xu Jingcheng suppressed the turbulent emotions, and his voice was slightly hoarse: "It's okay." Wandering in the wilderness, I had to meet Su'er, and I lived in the countryside of Bianzhou, which was quite comfortable. Hulan Iron Cavalry crossed the river, Bianzhou could not live, with the displaced people south, until the next Axi water. Turning his gaze to the young woman behind him, "The baby that Su'er is holding is called Ce'er, it's your nephew, who has just given birth for only four months, and has suffered a lot with us along the way. Then he pointed to the old man standing on the river embankment and the young man beside him, and said, "The father of the child should be the public and the younger brother of the child, and the younger brother of the child should be the younger. ”

Xu Zhaorong took off the bright helmet, revealed a delicate face, saluted Ying Mingyu, Ying Su'er and others, and put the bright helmet on, and said to Xu Jingcheng: "The order to close the river is under the Qingfeng Mansion, and the appearance cannot be changed, the eldest brother wants to petition for the homeless, but you can cross the river with your sister-in-law first, and I will lead you to see Ruyu." ”

"It's been a few days since the cooking here has been broken, how can I still have time to go to Jiangning to see that guy?" Xu Jingcheng glanced back at the homeless people behind him and said, "If you can't make the decision, we'll go somewhere else." ”

"Duh, Xu Jingcheng, you don't dare to come to see Jiang Ning's old man, why do you make it difficult for her to do both?"

Xu Jingcheng followed the prestige, but saw Zhang Zhongdao walking slowly, raising his halberd to point at himself, and shouting and reprimanding. The man in Tsing Yi, who was still standing in the distance of three or four hundred steps, avoided his gaze, turned around and went down the embankment, but his back was so familiar.

Xu Jingcheng didn't expect Xu Ruyu to be here, standing on top of the rock, and didn't know how to answer for a while.

Zhang Zhongdao's stride seemed slow, but in ten breaths, the person had already arrived in front of the military formation, looked at Xu Jingcheng standing on the rocks in the middle of the river, arched his hand, and said, "Don't come to harm?" ”

Xu Jingcheng leaned slightly, pointed to the homeless people crowded on the embankment behind him, and said, "What does Zhongdao think? ”

Zhang Zhongdao's gaze slowly swept over the people on the river embankment, full of devastation and desolate traces, closed his eyes slightly, and when he opened them again, he returned to a sharp light, and said: "Jing Cheng knows how many displaced people are there in Nanchong this time?" Jiangning can't accommodate many people. ”

Xu Jingcheng snorted coldly and said: "I only learned that Jiangning had blocked the border passage a few months ago, and I thought that Xu Ru had no last resort, he had already expected this change, and he had months to prepare, would he be in a hurry?" The voice turned sharp, "I think it's just that I want to take advantage of the exiles to trap the East China Sea in a desperate situation, and Jiang Ning will take the opportunity to seize the East China Sea. Speaking of this, he laughed out loud and shouted: "Xu Ruyu, Xu Ruyu, you have been deceiving your name and stealing the world for several years, and now you see how you hide your wolf ambitions?" ”

Zhang Zhongdao said sadly: "Is there less infamy that the world has given to you? As the lord of Jiangning, Ru Yu is worried about the tens of millions of people in the two counties, and Jing Cheng will not be able to understand Ru Yu's heart. Turning to Xu Zhaorong and said, "The displaced people here are tens of thousands of people, send ten days of grain over, and return the affection of his past, those who dare to gather people to cross the river, when the wanderers suppress them, the swimmers are bound to the hard labor camp." ”

Xu Zhaorong couldn't bear to look at Xu Jingcheng on the rocky rock in the middle of the river, and said to Shen Lizong, the inspector of Tianchang County: "Act according to this order." ”

Although Zhang Zhongdao told Xu Zhaorong about the general's order, his voice was so loud that the soldiers and civilians on both sides of the strait heard it, and they all gave up the idea of taking refuge in Jiangning. Xu Jingcheng's face was cloudy, seeing that Zhang Zhongdao said in public, he would not just bluff people and force him over, he was still fine, but how could the unarmed homeless people behind him resist the encirclement and suppression of Jiangning's elite soldiers? Anyway, there are still ten days of food to be delivered, which can ease the situation in front of him, but his heart is sad and inexplicable, and he secretly said: Xu Ruyu is not like this. Looking at the backs of Zhaorong and Zhang Zhongdao disappearing into the riverbank, he couldn't help but howl and vent the endless sadness in his heart.

Xu Zhaorong led the horse, listening to the whistling sound and two lines of tears slid down his cheeks.

Xu Jingcheng stepped back to the north shore, walked in front of Ying Mingyu, did not hide the shame on his face, and said: "The world is so cold and warm, Xu Ruyu is just like this, and Jingcheng can't do anything. ”

Ying Mingyu said: "Xu Ruyu rose in Jiangning, how could he not fight for the world; Blocking this river, millions of displaced people will be trapped in the chaos of the East China Sea, if there is a good opportunity, how can Xu Ruyu not borrow it? ”

Xu Jingcheng looked at the countless displaced people coming up from the river embankment and sighed, "These people followed Jingcheng south from Bianzhou, came to the border of Jiangning, stopped on the bank of Xia'a River, and were not allowed to go south. Now the plan, the only way to live in the land, temporarily avoid the cold, I still have some friendship with the East China Sea, and borrow some grain and grass to barely survive the harsh winter and then make plans. ”

Ying Yun'er couldn't squeeze the baby in her arms, beckoned Xu Jingcheng over, and said: "There are more and more displaced people coming over, and when the time comes, there will be a big fight for some food, and the situation will be chaotic." Donghai is afraid of your relationship with Jiangning, and we will not be allowed to settle the dock to protect ourselves at that time, but what if we have food in our hands but it will become a harm? ”

Xu Jingcheng sighed and said, "According to you, how is it good?" ”

Ying Yun'er said: "I think we will wait for the grain to be sent over, we will carry the grain along Xia Axi to the east, as long as we avoid the main route of refugee migration, maybe only a few months, Jiangning and Wanling will break out war, and when the war passes, we will be able to find a place to live." ”

Xu Jingcheng said: "Watching Zhaorong leave, I felt powerless, and after listening to your words, it was slightly better." ”

"My husband is thinking of the homeless, so his heart is burning."

When Xu Jingcheng heard this, a wry smile appeared on his face, and he said, "You don't know what I was in the past, so you can say that." ”

Ying Yun'er said: "I don't care about your past, from the time I met you, you are the you in my mind." Speaking of this, he looked at Xu Jingcheng slyly and said, "But no one can compete with me for you." ”

Xu Jingcheng took her into his arms and said softly: "You are the only one in life and life." ”

At nightfall, Xu Zhaorong sent hundreds of stones of grain, hundreds of stones of fine food, and then shaved some wild vegetables from the snow. Xu Zhaorong seemed to know that Xu Jingcheng would lead the displaced people away, and send the livestock and carts carrying grain and grass across the river together. In addition to grain and grass, there were also fewer weapons, bows and arrows. Xu Jingcheng knew that this was from Xu Ruyu's instructions, but he couldn't let go.

Xu Jingcheng took thousands of displaced people who came from Bianzhou with him to staggered east along Xia'a Creek in the next time, and the displaced people along the way saw that they had food to eat, so they followed them, Xu Jingcheng could not bear to chase them, and when he entered the territory of Longyou, the number of displaced people who followed behind him had increased to more than 20,000.

Xu Jingcheng will mingle among the homeless people, which surprises Chen Yuye. Listening to You Sentinel's detailed description of the confrontation on both sides of Xia Axi, Chen Yu and Liu Zhaoyu looked at each other, and they could see the unconcealed fear in each other's eyes: Jiang Ning really made up his mind.

The eldest uncle stood up angrily, pressed his hand on the long case, trembled, and said: "That shaft, if you really have boundless ambition, has extended your tentacles to the East China Sea so quickly. ”

Chen Yu said: "Among the hundreds of thousands of troops who crossed the river a few days ago, it is possible that Jiangning's elite combat power is hidden, so that Jiangning may launch an offensive at any time. Quickly and thoroughly investigate which way in Yongyang and Baishi will be the elite of Jiangning who steals beams and changes pillars, and that will be the main direction of Jiangning's attack. He also said, "In order to order the border of Biling and Yixing, it is necessary to keep the displaced people in transit in the territory, and the displaced people must not be allowed to continue to migrate south and increase the pressure on the southern border." Ordered Ji Dao's troops to move south as a countermeasure. ”

Liu Zhaoyu thought about it for a while, but said: "Could it be a play co-starred by Xu Jingcheng and Xu Ruyu?" ”
