At the east gate of Ye County, thousands of refugees crowded outside Yecheng and refused to leave.

This is the junction of Nanyang and Yuzhou, since the beginning of the spring Yuan Shu raised troops to attack Yangzhou, the land of Huaisi is in flames, the people have long been unbearable, and the family moved to other places or fled countless people.

War, no matter what, the first to suffer is the people.

Even many families have suffered from it, and there are not a few people who have moved out.

Yexian is the border between Nanyang and Yuzhou, and most of the refugees who fled from Runan to Nanyang are here. After resettled more than 10,000 displaced people, Ye Xianling could no longer accommodate so many refugees, lest these refugees be desperate and storm the city, so he had to order the city gate to be blocked, and no one was allowed to enter and leave the city gate at will without a warrant.

Fortunately, those big families will more or less give a little food to help the victims, and the refugees will be safe and sound for the time being.

It's not how kind these families are, but they have to do it.

Although the clan gate lords of this era are greedy, none of them are stupid.

With so many refugees gathered in Ye County, if there is really no way to live, God knows what will happen to these refugees. Once these refugees rebel, the first to suffer is definitely those families.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion in the Zhongping period has made the family fully aware of the disaster of the common people's rebellion.

And why the common people rebelled, these families also understand better than anyone else.

Therefore, the big families in Ye County had to take out a little food and give these difficult people a bite to eat.

I have to say. The endurance of the common people is extremely amazing.

As long as there are people who stutter and are not starved to death, these refugees will not be in danger of being killed.

This is in a certain sense. It also fully reflects how stupid the ruler is.

Recently, Nanyang has not been very quiet, and the family heroes in Ye County are also panicking.

When the Xiliang army entered Nanyang, not many people cared at first, they just thought that they would retreat to Wuguan after plundering nearby. However, this time, as the city was constantly attacked, Nanyang's family was panicked.

Wait until Wancheng is attacked. This panic has reached its limit.

This is no longer a simple plunder, it is clear that a war has been waged.

Especially recently, Yexian County has also been successively breached by landlords and squires' dock forts and Zhuangzi, which has completely triggered a huge panic in Yexian County. Many landlords and gentry have moved their families to other places.

In this way, it is a mess to make Ye County's order.

You must know that these landlords and squires not only have most of the wealth and money in their hands, but also many of them are officials in the government. Once the family moves out. It will inevitably put great pressure on the government.

In other words, the government of this era is actually the spokesperson of these powerful families.

Even the powerful families have moved away, so what is the use of the government.

But in this way, it is cheaper to Luo Zheng.

Those wealthy families who fled with their families were all temporary uprisings, except for some gold and silver goods, the rest of the grain and rice could not be taken away at all, so that Luo Zheng did not have a bloody blade, and raised a lot of grain and grass.

The sun is scorching. The sun is blazing.

Luo Zheng was mixed with the refugees and was looking at the head of Ye County from afar.

Next to him, Xu Chu said excitedly: "Lord." I don't want there to be so many refugees in Ye County, I'm afraid there are no less than tens of thousands, and almost all of them are young and strong men, few old and weak women and children, so there is no need to arrest people everywhere now. ”

Luo Zheng didn't expect that there were so many refugees in Ye County, so he nodded again and again: "Yes, and these young and strong men are much easier to manage than those captured strong men, as long as they are given food, they won't make trouble." ”

Xu Chu glanced at Ye County and asked, "Lord, do you want to find Ye County?" ”

Luo Zheng said in a deep voice: "Ye County has already closed the city, how can you fight?" ”

Xu Chu said 'hey' and said, "Forget it, but how to get these refugees away?" ”

Luo Zheng said: "Wait until night, let's go, go and copy a few dock forts first!" ”

Xu Chu agreed and hurriedly followed.

As soon as the sun set, it got dark.

When the refugees were homeless, they lit a fire outside the city, lit the fire and lay on the ground, staring up at the starry sky.

Fortunately, autumn has not yet passed, the weather is still very hot, and the evening is not too difficult.

Otherwise, if it is winter, these unclothed refugees with yellow muscles are estimated to be frozen to death overnight.

After two watches, some refugees got up and went to pee in a place not far away where no one was.

Suddenly, the refugee was stunned for a moment, and thought he was dazzled.

Rubbing his eyes and looking again, yes, there were indeed more than a dozen torches burning in hundreds of steps.

I can faintly see that there are many people around the torch, and they are busy with something.

The refugees were a little confused, and they didn't know how anyone could still set fires there in the middle of the night.

Something doesn't seem quite right, though.

The refugee sniffed hard, and the next moment, his eyes widened.

This is, the taste of meat.

Damn, someone secretly eats meat in the middle of the night.

The refugee's eyes immediately became fierce, and he immediately lifted his pants and strode over.

That look was like the look of a hungry wolf when he saw a sheep.

No way, I'm so hungry these days.

Although those wealthy families will give some food to help the refugees, but when it is distributed to people, these refugees can only get half a bowl of paste every day, and this bit of food can only prevent people from starving to death, and they can't eat it at all.

Suddenly smelling the smell of meat, the already hungry eyes were dizzy, the limbs were weak, and the refugees who barely had much strength to walk could bear it, and immediately spread out and ran over, who could care about the tiger or the wolf ahead.

The refugees soon ran to the front, and saw hundreds of people lighting torches and setting up ten iron pots larger than the doors, each of which was full of a large pot of meat, and the water was boiling and steaming.

Large pieces of fat floated in the boiling water, and the thick aroma of meat drifted far away along the night wind.

The refugees' eyes immediately turned green. Swallowing his saliva, he looked away from the iron pot with difficulty, and then began to look at the side of the iron pot with a few horizontal eyebrows. At first glance, you know that he is a very difficult man to mess with.

When he saw the sabers beside those men, the refugees' eyes couldn't help but shrink.

However, the big pot full of meat made him reluctant to leave.

Swallowing his saliva, the refugee said with difficulty: "Brothers, can you give me a piece of meat to eat?" ”

Xu Chu, who was sitting on the edge of the cauldron, shook his head, and immediately a soldier scooped a fist-sized piece of fat from the pot. Throw it to refugees.

The strong man was immediately overjoyed, hurriedly took it, and stuffed it directly into his mouth without saying a word.

Then he covered his cheeks with both hands. Chewing desperately.

It's delicious, it's so fucking delicious.

In less than thirty breaths, a large piece of fat was swallowed into the stomach.

The strong man slammed his mouth and stared greedily at the meat in the pot. The pharyngeal knot is constantly rolling. But they didn't dare to make a mistake.

This group of people is very difficult to mess with at first glance, although the meat is good, but the small life is more important.

The strong man looked at Xu Chu with hopeful eyes, but there was a trace of fear in his eyes.

I have already seen just now, this guy is the head of this gang. However, this guy is also a little too strong, his arms are almost thicker than human legs, and he is definitely not easy to mess with.

Xu Chu asked in a sullen voice. "Isn't it delicious?"

The strong man nodded again and again, not only delicious. It's so fucking delicious.

Xu Chu asked again, "Do you still want to eat?" ”

The strong man nodded like a chicken pecking rice, is this nonsense!

Xu Chu said: "Go with a certain person, and I will let you eat every day in the future." ”

"Really?"

When the strong man heard this, his spirit suddenly perked up, and his eyes glowed green again.

As long as you can eat a full meal every day, you don't have to go hungry, let alone go with this group, even if you are a cow or a horse, you are willing.

Xu Chu said 'um', "There is a task entrusted to you, and you will take you in if you do a good job." ”

The strong man stiffened his chest and said continuously: "What task?" ”

Xu Chu pointed his hand, "Go, call all those people over, find a few more people to maintain order, and don't let people make trouble." ”

"This ......"

The strong man looked at the meat in the ten cauldrons and hesitated.

Xu Chu shook his head, and a soldier immediately scooped up a piece of meat of more than two catties and threw it over.

The strong man was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly took it and devoured it, where can he still take care of this hot mouth.

In less than thirty breaths, this piece of meat of more than two catties was swallowed up.

The strong man smashed his mouth, patted his belly, wiped his oily hands on his clothes, glanced at Xu Chu again, hesitated, and then immediately ran back, and soon, countless refugees screamed and surrounded him.

The tranquility of the night is shattered, and the place is lively like a vegetable market.

Those green eyes are like countless hungry wolves, which makes people's hearts chill.

Xu Chu's face became solemn, and he took hundreds of iron guards to guard around the cauldron, his face was hideous, murderous, and his fierce eyes scanned these refugees who came up fiercely, as long as someone dared to make trouble, he would not be soft.

The strong man who had just eaten meat found more than a dozen people and shouted hard to tell everyone not to mess around, everyone had meat to eat.

But where could the refugees, who had already fainted from hunger, still listen, seeing the large pieces of pork with a strong aroma in the ten cauldrons, almost losing their minds, swallowing their saliva one by one, licking their mouths and leaning towards the edge of the cauldron.

Xu Chu shouted like thunder, "Line up, come one by one, everyone has meat to eat, and those who dare to make trouble will be killed!" ”

"Don't listen to him!"

A strong man with a scar on his face next to him shouted: "Such a little meat is not enough for so many people to eat, don't listen to him, rush, there are so many of us, we are still afraid of his bird, whoever rushes up first will have meat to eat." ”

The refugees around them immediately became ready to move, their eyes were red, and they desperately moved forward.

"Huh?"

Xu Chu's eyes froze, his face immediately became hideous, and he rushed over, like catching a chicken, and carried the scar-faced man who took the lead in coaxing him, and then two fan-like slaps grabbed the scar-faced man's pocket and twisted it hard. (To be continued......)
