The north shore of Qiushui.

Dozens of Han people who fled to the place of refuge saw a large group of cavalry by the Qiu Shui, and they all panicked and fled downstream.

Luo Zheng sent people to shout, and soon brought over more than 50 panicked refugees.

There are old people, women, and children.

All men have soldering iron on their foreheads, symbolizing slave status.

Luo Zheng asked, "Where are you Han Min, and when were you taken captive outside the Saiwai?" ”

No one spoke, and everyone was still in a state of panic.

The Han people who were captured by the Xianbei people to the outside of the Saiwai often ended up very tragically.

Even if he did not die and fled to the Han realm, no one tattooed these words on his forehead, and he had sympathy for the Xianbei slave refugees. Therefore, although it was already known that this cavalry was a great Han iron cavalry, the fleeers were still very panicked.

After waiting for a long time, an old man replied tremblingly: "Back to the general's words, Xiao Lao'er is from Macheng, and he was captured by the Xianbei people to Tianmayuan thirty years ago, and they all escaped from the Black Eagle Department with Xiao Lao'er. ”

"Black Hawk?"

Luo Zheng frowned.

The old man replied, "The Black Eagle Department is one of the three great tribes of Tianmayuan, and there are two thousand mouths. ”

Luo Zheng let out an 'oh' sound and asked about the situation of Xianbei people with great interest.

The old man has lived in Mobei for 30 years, and he can be said to know Xianbei people very well, and he will answer any questions.

Luo Zheng soon had a general understanding of the Xianbei people in the vicinity, Tianmayuan was only a few dozen miles away, and it was a grassland with very fertile water and grass in the lower reaches of Qiushui, and there were more than ten Xianbei tribes of all sizes.

The three largest of these tribes all have a population of more than 2,000.

Of course, only tribes with a population of more than 10,000 can be called big tribes in Mobei.

As for the tribe of 2,000 people, it can only be regarded as a small tribe in Xianbei.

Among the dozens of Han people who fled, there was a woman who was pulling a little girl who was five or six strong. Perhaps because she often didn't have enough to eat, the little girl was about to lose weight to the bones, her eyes were deep-set, and her eyes were full of numbness and dazedness.

In the prairie, the captive Han slaves were often inferior to cattle and horses.

It is already a blessing that the child born can be raised.

Most Han Chinese slaves did not have the right to have offspring at all.

"Little sister, come here."

Luo Zheng beckoned to the little girl, and the woman's face immediately changed.

The old man hurriedly walked over and whispered a few words in the woman's ear, and the woman's face was relieved.

The little girl was a little stupid, and when she was pulled in front of Luo Zheng by the old man, she was still a little wooden.

Luo Zheng touched the little girl's withered yellow hair, and asked with a smile, "What's the name of the little sister?" ”

The little girl stared at him blankly and did not speak, not knowing if there was really a problem.

The old man hurriedly said: "This kid has no name, we all call him girl." ”

"No name?"

Luo Zheng was a little surprised and asked, "Why didn't she speak?" ”

The old man hurriedly said to the little girl, "Girl, talk to this general quickly." ”

The little girl's eyes suddenly became a little bright, and she bit her fingers and said, "Grandpa Zhang, I'm hungry." ”

The old man's face was pale, and he sighed deeply.

Luo Zheng smiled: "It's good to know that you're hungry, go get a few pieces of jerky." ”

The latter sentence was ordered to the soldiers around him.

The soldiers quickly brought the jerky, and the little girl's eyes immediately lit up, snatched the jerky, and gnawed it as if no one was around.

"Eat slowly, don't choke!"

Luo Zheng patted the little girl's head, and her expression was rarely very gentle.

In the depths of his eyes, something that had been lost for a long time slowly returned to his body.

"Give them something to eat."

After Luo Zheng put his hands on his shoulders, he commanded again.

The Xiliang soldiers soon brought a large amount of dried meat for the fleeing refugees to eat.

The refugees saw that the general of the Great Han Land was very friendly, and he kept clenching the heartstrings of the earth, and then slowly loosened.

The little girl was in a hurry to eat and was choked, and a soldier next to her immediately handed the kettle.

At this time, Zhao Yun chased and killed for a while, and led five hundred cavalry to rush back to the main formation, and none of them were damaged.

"Lord, Yun Xing is not dishonored."

Zhao Yun's face was calm, and he strode forward and handed over to Luo Zheng.

Luo Zheng said loudly: "Okay, Zi Long is unparalleled in the world, and this general is really a big vision today." ”

Zhao Yun's face was colorless, and he respectfully stepped aside.

Luo Zheng said: "Is Zilong still worried about the gambling contract? ”

Zhao Yun arched his hand and said, "Don't dare!" ”

Luo Zheng sighed and said, "Although this general is a little lacking, he really loves Zilong's talent and loyalty, so he has to use a little means. If Zilong can't let go, this general is at peace in his heart. ”

Zhao Yunfang was about to speak, but was interrupted by Luo Zheng.

Just listened to Luo Zheng said: "Zilong doesn't need to explain, this general has always regarded the soldiers under his command as siblings and brothers, as brothers, even if he has a knife in both sides, this general is duty-bound." I want to make an agreement with Zilong, if after a year, Zilong can't be relieved, it means that I haven't done enough, and I will no longer be strong at that time, and Zilong can decide to stay at his own discretion, how about it? ”

Zhao Yun's mouth moved, but he didn't say anything after all.

Luo Zheng leaned over again and picked up the little girl who had finished gnawing on the jerky, and said with a smile: "This kid has suffered a lot. ”

Zhao Yun looked at the little girl, and then at Luo Zheng, and his face changed slightly.

Luo Zheng asked the little girl again, "What's your last name?" ”

The little girl was a little frightened and didn't dare to speak.

The old man next to him said gloomily: "General Lao has inquired about it, this child has no father." ”

Luo Zheng was stunned, "No father? So how did she get out? ”

The old man's face was miserable, as if he had something unspeakable.

Zhao Yun whispered in his ear: "My lord, after Han women are captured by the Xianbei people, they are often given as female slaves and have to serve many different men. Even if you give birth to a child, you don't know who the biological father is. ”

Luo Zheng suddenly felt more pity for the little girl.

After thinking about it for a while, he said to the old man: "This general is the captain of the Han Dynasty, and this time he passed through the desert and wanted to enter the customs from Wuyuan and return to Luoyang. If you don't have a place to go for the time being, you can follow General Ben and wait until you arrive in Luoyang, and you can decide to stay at your own discretion. ”

Who knew that the old man didn't think about it, so he bowed to the ground, kowtowed, and said: "Thank you general, we are all willing to be the general's domestic slaves, as long as we have something to eat, we will serve the general in this life, and we will never rebel." ”

The dozens of refugees in the back also bowed down, crying with joy one by one.

Luo Zheng nodded, "Get up!" ”

The old man hurriedly got up and stood aside respectfully.

Luo Zheng returned the little girl to her mother, and then asked the old man, "The enemy water here is deep, do you know where to cross the river?" ”

The old man replied: "The river is shallow, five miles upstream, and the war horse can pass through guò. ”

Luo Zheng said 'um' and said, "Okay, the herald orders the army to set off immediately and cross the enemy water to the west." ”

"Yes."

All the military academies led in unison.

A junior colonel hesitated and said, "General, do you want to level that Black Eagle tribe." ”

The rest of the military academies were also eager to try, and they hadn't killed anyone for a few days, and these executioners had itchy hands.

Luo Zheng waved his hand, "Forget it, if you destroy the Black Eagle Department, the Xianbei people will only retaliate more ferociously." In the end, it is still my Han people who suffer. When you have the strength to sweep away Mobei in the future, let's take the Xianbei people again! ”

"The general is wise."

All the military academies praised in unison and were convinced.

Zhao Yun was also a little surprised, and looked at Luo Zheng's gaze a little less resistant.

Being able to have this insight shows that Luo Zheng has a keen eye and is good at considering problems from the overall situation.

And being able to think about the Han people shows that Luo Zheng has a benevolent heart for the people.

Zhao Yun was born from a humble background and deeply sympathized with the suffering of the people, so he naturally resonated.

Soon, more than 3,000 Xiliang iron horsemen quickly gathered and rushed upstream along the Qiu River.

Dozens of refugees also rode their extra horses, helping the old and the young to follow. Even Gan Qian, Xun Yu and their wives and young sons rode horses and carried out with the army, and were not placed in the vegetable garden.

Soon, the river channel ahead suddenly opened up.

Luo Zhengren tried the water, and the deepest part was less than his knees, and he could really cross the river.

More than 3,000 Xiliang cavalry were divided into three groups, crossed the enemy water one after another, and then identified the direction and rolled westward.

By the time the sun had set, the army had already traveled a hundred miles, cut down trees by a lake, and entered camp to rest.

By the lake, a cleared vacant lot.

The bonfire was blazing, and Luo Zheng sat on the grass, his brows furrowed, and he was silent.

Li Meng and Wang Fang sat on both sides, and they were in a good mood at first, but after waiting for a long time, they didn't see the general speak, and they were inexplicably worried in their hearts, not knowing what the general had summoned him to.

After nearly half an hour, I finally couldn't help it.

Wang Fang asked in a loud voice: "I don't know what the general has summoned a certain person to, so please show the general." ”

Luo Zheng sighed and said: "At the beginning of the county, the general ambushed Hu Mao and Niu Jin, although the situation forced him to do this killing as a last resort, but he killed the commander of the army without permission, after all, the crime is not small, this time back in Luoyang, the prime minister will inevitably be guilty!" ”

The two of them are in their hearts, and when you look at me, they don't know how to speak.

After a while, Wang Fang said nonchalantly: "Afraid that he is a bird, Hu Mao and Niu Jin led their brothers to attack each other, purely looking for their own death." As long as we don't say it, how will the prime minister know. ”

Li Meng thought of something, was shocked, and hurriedly looked at Luo Zheng secretly.

Eight thousand Xiliang iron cavalry fought all the way, and now, the military academy that had experienced Luo Zheng's ambush of Hu Mao and Niu Jin had been killed in Luancheng after being attacked by the Jizhou army, and only he and Wang Fang were left.

As long as they are killed, no one will know the truth of the matter.

As for the soldiers in other places and the lower military academies, it has always been believed that Hu Mao and Niu Jin killed each other.

At that time, as long as there is no evidence, no one will be able to convict Luo Zheng.

Li Meng couldn't help but worry, after all, this matter was really not small.

Luo Zheng turned his head and glanced at Li Meng, and said expressionlessly: "Li Meng, what are you worried about?" ”

"No, nothing."

Li Meng's face was a little white, and he was even more worried in his heart.

Wang Fang was a little big, and said in amazement: "General, you ......"

immediately reacted, and immediately his heart trembled, and his face turned white.
