In the middle of November of the second year of the first peace.

Qu County, Donghai County, Xuzhou was broken by a cavalry of unknown origin, and all the rich families of the city sergeants were robbed, not only the money, food and materials were looted, but even the population was taken away seven or eight out of ten, which is really a disaster from the sky.

Even Xuzhou, who happened to return to Qu County on an errand, was taken away and his whereabouts are unknown.

Xuzhou Mu Taoqian hurriedly reprimanded the general Cao Bao to lead 8,000 thieves, but when the army arrived in Qu County, the unknown cavalry that ransacked Qi County had long been gone.

Cao Bao was taken aback and hurriedly reported the news to Tao Qian.

After Tao Qian heard the news, he vomited three liters of blood in anger, and he couldn't afford to get sick.

It was freezing and snowing.

After Longxian County, further west, the land became more and more desolate, and the weather became colder and colder.

Looking around, you can see the desolate Gobi and the rolling mountains and mountains with no end in sight.

The cold wind of December blew on his face, and it hurt like a knife cutting flesh.

In the fluttering snowflakes, two fast horses were galloping on the official road against the cold wind.

"Lord, over this mountain, there is Yuzhong in front of you."

Xu Chu galloped while pointing to the mountains in front of him and said loudly.

Luo Zheng said 'um', and he didn't turn his head back, just urged the sweaty BMW under his crotch.

From Qu County to Liangzhou no less than thousands of miles, along the way across the Central Plains, through Luoyang, through the Han Valley, through the Guanzhong, it took half a month to rush to Liangzhou, just run dead war horses, no less than ten horses.

As for the road closure due to heavy snow, there are forty war horses that have lost their hooves.

Fortunately, Jincheng is in sight, even if you lose dozens of war horses. A qiē is also worth it.

Seeing that it was getting late, Luo Zheng immediately took Xu Chu into the vegetable garden. After a night's rest, he returned to the road before dawn the next day. Not long after the sun rose, it passed through Yuzhong and went straight to Yungo.

Originally, Luo Zheng planned to rest in Yuzhong, and listened to Gao Shun talk about the details of the Qiang soldiers' entry into the Kou.

How could it be that the vegetable garden was crowded with more than 40,000 young and strong men who had been arrested, as well as the mountains of grain and all kinds of things, which had already been crowded, and those captured strong men were not released again, I was afraid that there might be trouble.

Luo Zheng didn't dare to delay for a long time, so he had to hurry up. Go straight to Yoongo.

Ten miles south of Yunwu, Xujiazhuang.

Xun Yu wore a fur jacket and hurried into the inner courtyard with more than a dozen officials.

"Have you seen Mr. Xun Yu?"

Some people from the Xu clan hurriedly greeted him and bowed their hands.

Xun Yu waved his hand, he didn't have the heart to be polite at all, and asked bluntly: "Xu An, hasn't the golden rice sprouted yet?" ”

Xu An's face turned solemn, and while leading Xun Yu and the others inside, he replied, "Not yet." The villain has tried many methods, and even took the soil from the field where the golden rice was planted, but this thing still can't sprout. ”

Xun Yu flicked his sleeves, "Go." Check it out first! ”

Xu An nodded, and hurriedly led everyone to a row of side rooms.

I pushed the door and entered a room in the middle, and saw that there was nothing in the room. On the ground turned out to be a small vegetable patch, with fire boxes at the four corners. The flames rose high, burning the house as warm as spring. I don't feel a chill.

As soon as everyone entered the house, they felt like they were going to sweat.

Xun Yu looked at the empty vegetable patch and asked, "Is it too cold on the ground to sprout?" ”

Xu An shook his head and said: "Mr. didn't know, this villain also thought of it, so he hollowed out the ground and built a fire kiln with green bricks, and put two feet of fertile soil on it, and the ground was hot, but this golden rice still didn't sprout." ”

Xun Yu's brows furrowed tightly, and he went to the other rooms to check them one by one.

The results were very frustrating, and none of the golden rice seeds planted sprouted.

Xun Yu was sad and paced back and forth in the yard irritably.

The people of the Xu clan who came up were also discussing, discussing something in a low voice from the professional perspective of the farmers.

At this moment, a junior colonel suddenly rushed in with a happy face and shouted: "Mr. Xun Yu, great joy!" ”

Xun Yu let out an 'oh' sound and asked, "Where does the joy come from?" ”

Xiao Xiao waved his arms vigorously and said excitedly: "I just received a report from the fast horse, and the lord has returned." ”

"The lord is back?"

Xun Yu's face suddenly turned happy, and he hurriedly asked, "Where are you today?" ”

The little colonel replied: "It has reached the east of the city for forty thousand miles." ”

Xun Yu couldn't take care of Jin Mi's affairs for the time being, and immediately said quickly: "Quickly invite Zhao Yun, Li Meng, Wang Fang and other generals and officials of the General's Mansion to go to the east of the city to greet the lord in the next place, there must be no mistake." ”

"Yes."

The little colonel quickly took the order, and Pegasus left.

Half an hour later.

Xun Yu, Cheng Ying, Wu Yi, Zhao Yun, Li Meng, Wang Fang and other military generals, as well as more than 50 officials and subordinates of General Pingdi's Mansion, all went out of Yunwu East Gate to welcome Luo Zheng's return.

Wenchen was headed by Xun Yu, and the military generals were headed by Zhao Yun.

The two groups of people stood in two columns, standing on the left and right of the official road, looking eagerly.

In a short time, the sound of horses' hooves sounded in the distance, followed by smoke and dust.

"Here we are."

Wang Fang couldn't help but scream, and everyone was in good spirits.

Soon, hundreds of horsemen galloped to within a hundred paces and began to slow down their horses.

Luo Zheng was wearing a dark cloak, sweat and blood BMW under his crotch, although he was still majestic, but with fatigue between his eyebrows, he took the lead and rushed to the front, and suddenly lifted the reins of the horse, and the sweaty BMW under his crotch neighed, and the person stood up and restrained the momentum of the forward rush.

"See the lord!"

Zhong Wenwu hurriedly stepped forward and fell to the ground with a long bow.

Luo Zheng slowly exhaled a breath of hot air, raised his hand on the horse's back, and said, "If Wen is exempt, everyone is exempt." ”

"Thank you, Lord."

Everyone thanked them for a long time before they straightened up.

Xun Yu asked: "The lord went to the Central Plains this time, did the journey be good?" ”

Luo Zheng nodded and said, "The journey is safe, and Lao Wenruo is worried." ”

After a pause, without waiting for Xun Yu to ask again, he preemptively said: "Let go of other things first, Zilong, Li Meng, Wang Fang, quickly return to the city to gather the army and stand by." Wen Ruo, Cheng Ying, and Wu Yi also led their subordinate officials to the military camp to prepare for the resettlement of the displaced people. ”

Xun Yu was stunned and said, "Where are the displaced people under the rule of the lord?" ”

The rest of the civil and military forces were also puzzled. The two counties of Jincheng and Wuwei have been under the overall management of Xun Yu since the autumn grain was put into the ground. Although the people are not rich, at least they have not starved to death, how can there be displaced people.

In terms of governance, Xun Yu can be said to have shown outstanding ability.

This is only the first year, and when the autumn grain is in the field next year, I believe that the life of the people will be even better.

At present, the two counties are under peaceful rule, and there are no more bandits who block the road and rob, and where are the displaced people.

Luo Zheng waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Hurry up and prepare." Don't ask too much just yet. ”

"Yes."

Everyone didn't dare to ask any more, so they hurriedly returned to the city and went separately to prepare.

Luo did not enter the city, and directly took Xu Chu and hundreds of cavalry to a dock fort outside the city.

Half an hour later, Zhao Yun, Li Meng, and Wang Fang had just arrived with more than 10,000 cavalry, and they saw that countless homeless people in Zhuangzi were constantly pouring out, densely packed like ants, and I don't know how many.

Hundreds of fierce Xiliang cavalry were galloping back and forth on horseback, waving sabers and shouting loudly. tried his best to drive these displaced people who poured out of Zhuangzi to the side and stand up, and the scene was chaotic for a while.

Xun Yu and a group of officials and subordinates who came later were also stunned, and they couldn't understand where so many people came from in this village.

It's as if it came out of nowhere, how can you not surprise everyone.

There is Xiliang Elementary School galloping forward. shouted loudly: "The lord has an order, please General Zhao Yun to maintain order, but anyone who takes advantage of the chaos to be killed on the spot; Mr. Xun Yu is responsible for the resettlement of displaced people. There must be no mistakes. ”

Xun Yu, Zhao Yun and others did not dare to be careless, and immediately took action.

Zhao Yun divided the more than 10,000 cavalry into ten teams. Each team of 1,000 people watched the outcasts pouring out.

Xun Yu and Wu Yi took a group of officials and subordinates from the General's Mansion. With the assistance of Li Meng, Wang Fang and other generals, the displaced people were resettled in the village houses that had been built long ago, divided into households, and distributed food rations.

As early as when Luo Zheng left Yunwu, he asked Xun Yu to build a house that was enough for tens of thousands of people to live.

Xun Yu has always been puzzled, and it is only today that he understands what these houses are used for.

Those who are confused do not know where the lord got so many homeless people.

It's a strange thing how to bring these homeless people back to Yoongo.

After more than an hour, more than 10,000 displaced people were finally released.

However, after the last group of people came out, Xun Yu was instantly stunned and speechless.

The last group of people came out of thousands of people, all of whom were captured from all over the Central Plains, dragging their families with them, and the first few people who came out Xun Yu couldn't be more familiar, but they were old friends Zhong Xuan, Shi Tao and others, as well as family members.

And when a little woman was helped out by Xiliang Bing, Xun Yu's face became extremely ugly.

If it weren't for the tens of thousands of displaced people waiting to be resettled, Xun Yu would definitely rush in and ask him face to face.

After all the captives were released, the next step was to carry food and various supplies.

Luo Zheng rushed back to Yunwu, but he didn't even return to the general's mansion, so he went directly to the warehouse used for grain storage in the north of the city.

The 5,000 Tuntian soldiers brought over from Luoyang were transferred, rushed into the vegetable garden, climbed onto the grain stacks that were ten zhang high, carried down the bags of grain, and rushed out quickly with trouble.

The inner courtyard of General Pindi's palace.

Gan Qian was clutching her bulging belly and walking back and forth on the ground.

Ren Yan and Wu Zhen were rusting on the side, sewing off some baby clothes, belly pockets and other things.

While the two women were doing their work, they also whispered and laughed from time to time.

Gan Qianyu's face was rippling with the unique brilliance of motherhood, and her face was happy and satisfied.

At that moment, there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door.

A servant girl rushed in and said overjoyedly, "Madam, good news! ”

Gan Qian stopped and said in an 'oh' voice, "What's the good news?" ”

The maidservant girl hurriedly said: "Mrs. Chen went out of the house to buy vegetable beans, and when she saw that there were troops assembled on the street, she inquired, and it turned out that the general had returned, and Mr. Xun Yu and General Zhao Yun had gone outside the city. ”

"Husband is back?"

The three women were happy at the same time, and Ren Yan and Wu Zhen were busy putting down their work. (To be continued......)
