92, all things are dogs

After chatting with the girl for a while, Guo Hua had a general understanding of what had happened in the past few days, but what kind of fortifications Wang Shun'er had gone to dig was a clue, and it might be worth taking a look.

"Hey, what are you thinking?" asked the girl.

"It's nothing, I've been asleep for a few days, just sort out what you just said, by the way, what's the girl's name?"

"Wang Ping'er. ”

The girl replied neatly, although she was a young girl, she had experienced disasters and was already very stubborn and capable.

"My name is Guo Xuan, but you must not mention my name to outsiders. ”

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. ”

"Oh, after drinking a few bowls of porridge from the girl, her stomach is still growling. Girl, do you have the clothes I fit here?"

Guo Hua took advantage of the moment of speaking, he had already adjusted his luck, and his body was almost recovered, so he decided to go out for a walk.

"I have already washed the clothes you wore that night," as she spoke, Wang Ping'er put a bag of clothes on the side of the bed and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Go out and get something to eat, oops, I'm so hungry. ”

As soon as she heard that Guo Hua was going out, Wang Ping'er was anxious, and refused to let him go out at all, Luoyang City was heavily guarded, and even during the day, he could not easily walk on the street, especially young and strong young people, who were either suspected of being spies or were arrested as soldiers and coolies. Guo Hua has just recovered from a serious illness, and he must be more than lucky when he goes to the street.

"Miss Wang, don't worry about me, please avoid it first, I'm going to get dressed. ”

Guo Yu was about to open the cup, but the bluffed Wang Ping'er hurriedly hid.

Wang Ping'er saw that Guo Hua insisted on going out, so she explained the situation of the workshop to Guo Hua and told him to be careful in everything.

This house was naturally not owned by the Wang family's father and daughter, and even the house of a wealthy businessman in Yangzhou returned to his hometown when the war broke out.

The housekeeper of the wealthy merchant recruited a group of poor families like Wang Shun'er, who were half housekeepers and half sojourners here.

This house is located in Cihui Place.

Cihuifang is located in the north of the south city, the south of Luoshui, the east is the tributary canal of Luoshui, the north looks at the Luoshui scenery is beautiful, it is difficult to embrace the prosperity and richness of the south city, and it is a very good location in Luoyang City.

The house is divided into more than a dozen small courtyards, and some families live in the rest of the courtyards.

Guo Hua came out of the house and saw that there was a large bottle of lotus cultivation in the courtyard, and there was a layer of slush in it, so he dug some with his hands and smeared it on his face, it was dirty, and even his hair was unkempt. Even if you don't encounter the rebels on patrol, it's best not to let unrelated people see them, so as not to cause trouble.

Guo Hua had already memorized the layout of Luoyang City, and carefully walked around the vicinity a few times, and soon figured out the direction of the road in the city.

It was still noon, and when he was done, Guo Hua felt even hungrier. After An Lushan occupied Luoyang, some rebel leaders and civil and military officials seized people's houses and lived on their own. I simply found a yard, slipped into the kitchen, and brought out some rice noodles, steamed buns, and salt.

There were several pieces of meat hanging from the beams. Guo Yu looked at it and didn't dare to take it. The rebels have already begun to eat people, and if it is that kind of meat, it will be a serious crime.

With food, in order to facilitate movement at night, he simply went to the master's bedroom again and stole a set of well-fitting official uniforms.

I thought that Wang Ping'er would be very happy to see that she came back with steamed buns and food, but who knew that she ate her eyes.

"Stolen?"

"Hehe, sort of. ”

Guo Hua pinched his ears embarrassedly, this was the first time he had stolen something since he was a child, and he had to be trained by a little girl, and his face turned red when he brushed it.

"To rob is to rob, to steal is to steal, what does it mean to return-"

Wang Ping'er caught a glimpse of Guo Hua's blushing face and stopped her words.

Guo Hua put the things by the stove and handed her a steamed bun.

"It's really stolen, but it was stolen from the house of a rebel officer, anyway, those guys' money and food are all stolen from the common people, girl, let's be flexible today. ”

Guo Hua laughed, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the broken silver bag at the head of the bed, which was still the same as when she left, it was a very conspicuous place, and the girl didn't move it.

A warm current rose in Guo Hua's heart, and he was very moved. Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs, but when disaster comes, these innocent and helpless little people can stick to their conduct so much.

Maybe whether it is my father, Li Mi, or the king of Guangping, the reason why I was able to fight to the death against the rebels with the determination to sacrifice my life for righteousness was not the wealth and wealth that the world was looking for, but the simple and kind people in the world.

Wang Ping'er hesitated for a moment, took the steamed bun and put it away: "It's cold, let's heat it up first, I'll make some noodles by the way." ”

Seeing that she finally agreed, Guo Hua grinned, sat on the edge of the bed and watched her knead the dough on the side, boil water, and then use a knife to cut a piece of dough into thin slices, her movements were skillful and quick, the dough was as light as a petal, and the pieces floated into the boiling pot one by one. The steamed buns were placed by the Lu fire and baked.

This is the most vegetarian bowl of somen noodles that Guo Hua has ever eaten in his life, only seasoned with salt, but the noodles are glutenous, and the bite is full of the fragrance of wheat. Very tasty.

Guo Hua ate two large bowls of noodles and three steamed buns one after another, and shouted: "Delicious, delicious, hahahaha, I have never eaten such delicious noodles, oops, I ate it unconsciously." ”

"Hmph, just talking nonsense, it's just a bowl of salted noodles, you sons are used to the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, where can you really look up to a bowl of somen noodles from our poor family. ”

"How can it be, it's the girl's good craftsmanship, it's really delicious, it's delicious. Guo Hua smiled and wiped his mouth with satisfaction.

Wang Ping'er didn't quarrel with him, turned around and opened a wooden box, and packed it inside, which seemed to be the clothes left by Wang Shun'er's old man.

It was sunny outside the window, and it was still early, Guo Hua lay back on the bed, thinking about the route of his actions at night. After a while, he fell into a deep sleep again.

It's night. Guo Yu instructed Wang Ping'er to sleep first, changed into the rebels' clothes, and quietly slipped out.

Luoyang, the eastern capital, the royal and imperial departments are concentrated in the northwest of the city, the palace city is the emperor's office and residence, and the imperial city adjacent to the south of the palace city is where the ministries and departments are located. These are similar to Chang'an.

In addition, there is a Jiacang City in the east of Miyagi, which is the national granary established since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, known as the first granary in the world.

At the beginning, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty moved the capital to Luoyang, after the completion of the Grand Canal, the country's grain can be transported to the national capital more conveniently, and the national grain reserves are extremely abundant.

In the last years of Emperor Yang, the world was in turmoil, and the eighteen roads were full of smoke and dust.

Among them, a very famous Wagang army, because of the strategy of the military advisor Li Mi, in the thirteenth year of the Great Cause (617 AD), successively captured Xingluocang, Huihuicang, the righteous army opened the warehouse to release grain, and the people of the world have attached.

Xingluocang and Huicang were the lifeblood of Luoyang, the capital of Sui, and Li Mi's strategy dealt a heavy blow to the rule of the Sui Dynasty. It also deeply influenced the later lord of the world, Li Shimin, considering the disadvantages of the granary repair outside the city, he built Hanjiacang on the east side of the palace city in Luoyang City.

In the eighth year of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Hanjia stored nearly 6 million stones of grain, which was the largest granary in Chinese history. This also made Luoyang a target that An Lushan insisted on attacking in the early days of the rebellion.

After An Lushan captured Luoyang, he transported all the looted gold and silver treasures and most of the grain from Hanjiacang back to Fanyang, his hometown. An Lushan's greed and short-sightedness also led to the situation he is trapped in today.

Including the south of Jiacang City and the east side of the Imperial City of Miyagi, it is the East City, which is also the office of each subordinate of the six departments of the three provinces.

However, after An Lushan captured Chang'an, he quickly degenerated and corrupted, plundering a group of literati in Chang'an City and a group of servants in the pear orchard to Luoyang, thinking that they sang praises and sang and danced. The so-called imperial city and the various yamen temples in the eastern city are basically empty, and there is no complete government system.

An Lushan is naturally in the palace. An Qingxu couldn't bear it anymore and lived in the East Palace, which originally belonged to the prince's residence in the palace.

The former military advisor of An Lushan, the scholar Lang Yanzhuang, and the Fan Yang Festival envoy Shi Siming, lived in Qinghuafang.

When they were in Zhang's mansion, the Zhang brothers talked about it, and now the situation in Luoyang is basically controlled by these few people.

King Peacock and Sanada Jinggang, as guests of King An Qingxu of Jin, also lived in the East Palace.

Guo Yu naturally understood that it would not take a day or two to find out some valuable news, so the task of the first night was mainly to infiltrate the locations of each target to determine where their food and clothing were located, so as to facilitate spying in the future.

Still, there was one thing that caught his attention, something he hadn't noticed during the day.

Guo Hua walked at night, floating between the houses and alleys, and saw a very prosperous fire burning in several places in Luoyang City, and there was a faint sound of night labor.

Guo Hua quietly approached a firelight, here is already very close to the south city wall, and then through a square will also be under the city wall, this is an open space, the ground is supported by seven or eight large iron pots in a circle, which burns firewood and oil as light, in the middle is a deep cave, around the entrance of the cave, loaded with seven or eight rollers, constantly there are earth and stones pulled up from the bottom of the cave, more than 100 men on the ground are working hard, the soil dug out of the hole is loaded and pushed away.

It seems that there are many craftsmen at the bottom of the cave, and this cave is indeed a big project.

Several officers were drinking around a campfire, cursing and swearing at the workers who were hobbling in steps, and a man with a bloated black face had to walk a few steps and whipped a few times at the workers who passed by.

Presumably, these workers eat some clear soup and little water every day, and how can they still have the strength to do these hard labors, and they stagger and stumble when they walk, lifeless.

Thinking of his benefactor Wang Shun'er, the old man probably died because of this, Guo Hua's heart was full of blood, and he couldn't wait to kill a few officers and save these suffering people away.

At this time, he seems to be more sympathetic to the hardships and sufferings of these people than ever before.

Guo Yu suppressed the hatred in his heart, and Rao looked at it for a while, but he couldn't see the reason. This pit looks deep and wide, and if you want to dig a tunnel to sneak out of the city, it can still fall to death if you go straight up and down, but it doesn't look like it in structure.

Guo Yu retreated stupidly, returned to Wang Shun'er's yard, and returned to his temporary bed.

He opened his eyes and looked into the void of the black hole, and the past came to mind.
