Xinzhou City was destroyed, and Yang Yi directly used Hongjiazhai as a temporary headquarters;

As soon as the more than 10,000 people who had escaped from the thieves fled, he immediately ordered the heralds to return to Shiling Pass quickly to order Jiao Zhong and Meng Qing, so that they could lead their troops to Xinzhou as soon as possible, and at the same time ordered Taiyuan Mansion to immediately transfer grain, grass and clothing to Xinzhou. Come on,.!

The morning light finally fell on the earth, and a large number of materials were piled up in front of Hongjiazhai, all of which were snatched from the people by Liu Erhu and others, half of which had been loaded into carts, and thousands of donkeys and horses were still tied to the head of the village, which the rebels were preparing to use to transport these materials.

Yang Yi couldn't take a break, and asked people to unload the grain and grass on the car and cover it, these will be the life-saving food in Xinzhou in the next few days, and they can't be sloppy.

Those donkeys and horses were also guarded by men, and if the grain and grass in the rear could not be transported in time, the only way to do this would be to kill the donkeys and slaughter the horses.

When Xie Dongsheng and the others arrived, they saw that Yang Yi was leading people to unload food, and they were quite surprised, Yang Yi only had 400 people around him, and now none of them were damaged, and they actually put down a huge rebellion, which made people feel like a dream.

In fact, Yang Yi himself didn't expect things to go so smoothly, when he set off from Taiyuan, he was still thinking about how to transfer troops and send generals, surround them on all sides, and trap Meng Qijia and a group of traitors.

If it weren't for the Qingyun Old Taoist Qingfeng Mental Method, which made him feel violent in his heart, he probably wouldn't have personally raised his sword to attack the city, and Shiling Pass would not have been breached so quickly;

Even if it is night, Meng Qijia can retreat calmly, and with Meng Qijia here, the nearly two horse rebels will have the backbone. It will never be broken so easily, and it is impossible to have the drama of pretending to be a rebel and directly taking Liu Erhu, the development of things completely exceeded Yang Yi's prediction.

Maybe it's really like what the Huoyun Evil God said, the world's martial arts are all broken, only fast and not broken, fast. Faster, as long as it is fast to a certain extent, the piece of paper can also cut the bamboo chopsticks;

It's the same with war. The violence in Yang Yi's heart made him unable to wait for a moment, so he personally raised his knife and went into battle, so his morale was like a rainbow. So he caught Meng Qijia off guard, which was a quick word.

"My lord, you can rest for a while, I don't know how many things need to be thought about and arranged, so let's do this." Xie Dongsheng jumped off the war horse and snatched a bag of grain from Yang Yi's hand.

Yang Yi clapped his hands and said, "Dongsheng, you should stop too, I have something to say." ”

"Yes, sir."

Yang Yi sighed and said, "If you don't come, I can't do anything." I can only carry rice bags here, and it would be good for you to come, and tell the brothers, I know that everyone is tired after a night of driving. But we can't rest yet, everyone will lift their spirits and work hard, and when the matter is over, I will not forget everyone's contributions. ”

Xie Dongsheng hurriedly replied: "Don't worry, my lords, the brothers know it in their hearts." If there is anything, the adults just have to tell it. ”

Yang Yi nodded and said: "Well, listen, let the brothers go in a group of ten people far away, and a group of five people in the close, set off immediately, go one way, be sure to find all the victims, let them come to Hongjiazhai as soon as possible, and tell them that there is food to eat, clothes to wear, and a place to live;

I, Yang Yi, will sit in Hongjiazhai and dispatch enough grain and grass materials from all over the country, so that as long as they come, they will no longer be hungry and cold;

Pay attention, let the brothers not just shout, this earthquake must have many children who have lost their parents, the elderly who have lost their children, let the brothers organize the people nearby, bring these old and weak together, even if it is a back, do not leave a single person;

Again, we are soldiers, and soldiers are used to protect the people. Don't play tricks when you go, some people don't find the bodies of their relatives, they must be reluctant to come, let the brothers be patient and persuade them, the people are already bitter enough to lose their relatives, we have to learn to treat them as relatives. ”

The reason why Yang Yi said so much is that he knows that most of the soldiers nowadays are illiterate and their quality is not high, and they are really vulgar men.

Xie Dongsheng was a little moved when he heard this, Yang Yi had always given him a very tough impression, except for Qing Niang, he had never seen him have such a soft side.

He clenched his fists and replied, "Please rest assured, I will let the brothers do it immediately." ”

Just like that, Xie Dongsheng didn't say much, turned around and instructed his soldiers as Yang Yi said, and soon, five or six hundred people or a group of ten or five people scattered out one after another, rushing to all parts of Xinzhou, and the rumbling horses' hooves quickly disappeared in the morning light.

The remaining three to four hundred people, along with Yang Yi, went to the nearest place to cut down bamboo and wood, collect hay and use it to build shacks, or dig caves on the nearby hillside with hoes for temporary shelter for the victims.

Half an hour passed, and people began to rush to Hongjiazhai, men and women, old and young, all of them were unkempt and disheveled, like a group of flowers, huddled in the cold wind;

Yang Yi believed that a large part of them were the people who had just escaped from here last night, and they could judge from their wincing eyes;

He didn't mean to ask about the crime, although many of them must have taken the initiative to join the rebellion and loot together, but they were always guilty of the mistakes they made in order to survive under natural and man-made disasters, and they were not to blame in the past.

Yang Yi picked out all the young and strong people and joined the work of building shacks and digging caves, and those old and weak let them collect dry firewood and burn a fire in front of the village, which was not only used to cook porridge, but also to let everyone roast some fire to keep warm.

As people continued to pour in from all directions, Yang Yi's three or four hundred people were not enough to maintain order, and the work of building shacks could only be assigned to those young people to do.

By dusk, there were more than 20,000 people gathered in Hongjiazhai, and it was a mess, and Yang Yi couldn't even maintain order, so he could only let hundreds of his subordinates closely guard the grain, grass, donkeys, horses, porridge pots, and 20,000 hungry and cold people.

Just when Yang Yi was anxious, Jiao Zhong and Meng Qing's two generals finally rushed to Hongjiazhai from Shiling Pass at nightfall, and what made him even more relieved was that Zhang Shiyong, the first general in Hedong, also arrived at the second watch.

Yang Yi had more than 10,000 people around him at once, and his heart finally settled down, he and Zhang Shiyong had met in Mizhi City, although they couldn't talk about too deep friendship, but they were finally old acquaintances, and there was nothing polite to do, and one after another orders were sent out like water:

First of all, let Zhang Shiyong take his 5,000 people to Dingxiang, collect the victims, and resettle nearby, and then the military funds and grain from Taiyuan, Daizhou and other places were quickly transferred to Xinzhou Dingxiang, and the less affected prefectures and counties were dispatched as soon as possible to send officials, Langzhong, and medicines to support Xinzhou Dingxiang;

At the same time, a group of Jiao Shou's men and horses were dispatched to set off overnight to join the search for the surviving people.

Early the next day, Yang Yi ordered 2,000 people to officially enter the razed city of Xinzhou, and conduct a large-scale search to see if there were any survivors who were crushed under the collapsed houses.

Yang Yi also went in, and couldn't find a single intact house in the city all night, and found a large number of corpses under the collapsed houses, which reached more than three thousand corpses in half a day, which was simply miserable, fortunately, the weather was cold, otherwise the corpses would be pressed for so many days, and I was afraid that it would be easy to cause a plague.

Yang Yi asked the people to claim the bodies of their relatives on their own, and then bury them as soon as possible.

By dusk, more than 40,000 people had gathered in Hongjiazhai, and a steady stream of people came, and Hongjiazhai became their only hope for survival.

The tenth general of Ninghua and the seventeenth general of Mengxian also rushed to Hongjiazhai at dusk;

A large number of columns, beams, purlins and other timber were turned out in Xinzhou City, all of which were used to build shacks to settle the people who rushed over, which made the shacks and tents around Hongjiazhai like mushrooms after a rain, growing in pieces.

Beginning on the third day, the original imperial court hoarded in Taiyuan and Daizhou military grain and grass continued to arrive, one by one clothes were sent down, and pots of sticky rice porridge were boiled out, and the people's hearts finally really stabilized.

With the grain and grass materials, there are also officials like Qin Zigui, and what makes Yang Yi even more pleased is the arrival of Yang Jie and Li Niang, the people are injured and infected with countless diseases, and now the most needed is undoubtedly medical personnel;

Yang Yi alone is not enough, and now that Yang Jie and them have arrived, Yang Yi can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

In the tent, Yang Yi squatted in front of a low table with a bowl of porridge, and a plate of dried radishes on the table, which was really rare, since he arrived in Xinzhou, he could be so extravagant for the first time, and finally had vegetables to eat.

Yang Yi ate with relish, Qin Zigui stood aside and watched, and couldn't help sighing: "Brother Ren, if your sister-in-law and Qingniang know what you look like now, I don't know what to be sad about." ”

"You're wrong, Zigui, you don't know them, they won't be sad, they will only be relieved and proud, of course, they will definitely be a little distressed, but they are definitely not sad. As for Qing Niang, she will probably ask me who is the best prince in the world. ”

Qin Zigui secretly rolled his eyes, really, he didn't forget to brag about himself at any time.

"Brother Ren, it's time to start the post-disaster reconstruction, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the people have been living in shacks for a long time, it's not a solution, what is Brother Ren going to do?"

Yang Yi stopped his chopsticks and said, "Zigui, can't you let me finish this bowl of porridge safely?" I haven't closed my eyes for two days, I haven't eaten enough for three days, you know you? ”

"Come less, you eat yours, talk while eating, I don't trust my brother who hasn't thought about these things, you just say it directly, if it's okay, I'll start doing it immediately."

"Well, you're defeated. Xinzhou even the city wall has collapsed, to clean up the original toe, not only labor and money, but also time-consuming and laborious, it is better to start another new city to save trouble, I took a look, ten miles north of the city, the location is very good, by the mountains and rivers, you let the people of the Ministry of Engineering plan well, the city wall is not too late to build slowly in the future, first build the house to settle the people, bamboo and wood structure or adobe houses can be, the key is to be fast, and reserve some vacant land. ”.
