Chapter 139: The Flood of Victims
"If the prince can have this heart, he will definitely accompany him!"
General Liu seems to be extremely involved in the play, his words are full of pride and ambition, and his vicissitudes of life look at the sky, slightly distracted, as if he has returned to the era when he rode horses and marched. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Duan Pingsheng was a little puzzled, after many days, the old general's attitude seemed to have changed greatly, and he didn't know what was going on. He asked General Liu to take the first step, and he continued to lead the horse to the end of the queue, he did not do this to show his image, but to see how much support he could get immediately if he returned to the Wuwang Army.
The answer is, very little, very little.
In the entire queue, most of them are veteran sergeants, and there are many people with physical disabilities, and there are very few young juniors who can really be called "young and strong", and some of them are even full of reluctance, obviously forcibly pulled by the elders.
"The situation is not optimistic!"
Duan Pingsheng shook his head slightly, although the day when he was still a little out of charge of the Martial King Army was still a little away, he had to start solving this serious problem as soon as possible.
While contemplating and thinking, the bamboo dragon that had just been sleeping on his shoulder suddenly woke up, Duan Pingsheng's eyes moved slightly, turned around silently, returned the same way, and when he came to Xu Deyi's side safely, his back was already covered with sweat.
"Why did he come along?"
Duan Pingsheng thought in disbelief, if it weren't for Zhulong's vigilance, he would have to fall into the hands of that person, but another doubt came to his heart, why didn't that person do it immediately? What is the purpose of such forbearance?
Sensing that his henchmen were in serious trouble, he hung at the end of the team, Duan Pingsheng was a little apprehensive in his heart, Gai was too sudden and too powerful because of this person, and he had no choice but to count on a person who had not yet recovered the Yellow Sand Dao Monarch.
Knotty!
Duan Pingsheng squinted his eyes, as long as he could rush to Wanbei Mountain calmly, he would be sure to turn the danger into a disaster, but if this person made trouble in advance, he could only fight to the death, but he didn't know how much the person who followed his memorial would survive?
Damn it!
When he was secretly angry, he suddenly heard Xu Smug say coldly: "It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided." ”
So this one has already noticed it!
Duan Pingsheng was a little relieved, since Xu Deyi never showed his emotions, it meant that there was a turning point in this matter. He ignored the explosive barrel that could burst at any time for the time being, rode his horse to General Liu's side, and walked together.
The morning sun turned into a blazing sun, releasing surging heat more and more wantonly, and after walking for an hour, Duan Pingsheng asked Jia Longyang to distribute the fruit ice porridge prepared in advance for the entourage, and take a short rest.
Zhang Yu, who was soft and pale, had no heroism in his heart for a long time, but complained about why he didn't wear thicker shoes? It's only half the way, and the soles of my feet are grinding painfully, and if I really want to go to the bottom of Wanbei Mountain, won't the soles of my feet be worn out?
Zhang Dagongzi couldn't say his bitterness, he didn't dare to express it to his heart's content, he now missed the soft cushion in the carriage very much, but he could only sit on the dry and hard earth with one butt, and looked back at the people of Youzhou, all of them.
Zhang Yu is resentful, he is a noble descendant of his master, why did he fall here? No! Although they are all sitting on the ground, this son is still superior! Look at the appearance of those civilians, sitting or not, there is no etiquette at all, and even if you go to this field, you can still retain the demeanor of a scholar!
However, when the royal servant handed over the fruit ice porridge, Zhang Yu, who had a dry mouth, snatched it without hesitation, and took a big bite of it, gobbling it up, as if he had never eaten a full meal.
When the southbound victims who staggered by the queue in the palace saw this scene, they couldn't help but take a sip with envy, they looked like people and dogs, but in fact, they were just a commodity who had never seen the world. However, Zhang Yu enjoyed it, he wiped out the food in his hand, and his whole body surged with infinite strength again, he stood up, the sore spot under his feet was no longer a problem, and he looked around and was trying to urge Duan Pingsheng to hurry up on the road, but suddenly saw that there was a huge crowd of people coming from the north.
Flood of victims!
Three years of drought and border wars have displaced hundreds of people, and the border of northern Liaoning is full of towns, and the surplus grain is almost gone, and Youzhou City is their only direction to go to!
Looking at the surging crowd of people, Duan Pingsheng frowned slightly, he didn't expect this natural and man-made disaster to be so terrible, it seems that with the power of a city in Youzhou, it is difficult to make this tide of disasters come to a standstill!
"What a sin!"
General Liu sighed abruptly: "The Khitan alien race covets my territory of the Tang Dynasty and has repeatedly gone south to plunder, if they hadn't taken advantage of the fire to rob, they wouldn't have displaced so many people!" ”
Duan Pingsheng nodded heavily, and immediately ordered the queue to leave the official road area, for the sake of safety, the tide of victims in front of him was easily untouchable, but he didn't want to cause trouble, but trouble automatically came to the door!
A refugee who took a few steps ahead saw the food in everyone's hands, so he directly grabbed it, and was trying to fill his stomach, but was pushed away by the guards, and then this person began to roll all over the ground, crying dad and shouting that he was injured by the guards for no reason, and other victims can be true or false, in their fragile hearts, anyone who dares to bully the existence of the victims is an enemy, especially if this enemy still has food, it is no different from a mortal enemy!
If human beings are driven to a dead end, they can do anything mad, starve all over the land, and eat their children, not by false rumors.
In the blink of an eye, some of the victims began to rush into the queue to grab food, and in the face of the guards armed with swords, they used the most primitive weapons, nails and sharp teeth! Madly besieging the guards, brutally and ruthlessly snatching food, not even sacrificial items, and desperately storming the queue, as if there was nothing but food in their eyes.
"Lord Wang!"
Old General Liu shouted, if this phenomenon is allowed to continue, let alone rushing to Wanbei Mountain, even his own safety is a big problem!
Duan Pingsheng, who frowned, immediately ordered Jia Longyang to drive away the looters by forceful means, and lead the queue far away from the official road before contacting the tide of disaster victims.
Seeing the crazy appearance of those disaster victims, Zhang Yu followed the carriage with some trepidation, for fear of being affected, and when he came to a safe place, he just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, when he heard the looting victims who had been driven away before, and shouted angrily: "The dignitaries and nobles in Youzhou City do not do personnel, not only do not help, but also wantonly beat the victims!" ”
Zhang Yu's eyes suddenly turned red with anger, he could see the cause and effect clearly, it was obviously the fault of these victims, how could it be that in the end, they shouted injustice? Is there any reason and the king's law?
The truth is, no. For these victims, the only truth is to fill their stomachs, and the only royal method is to live well! If anyone stands in the way of their doctrine and the law, they will turn into a torrent and tear everything apart!
Just like the tide of victims in front of him, under the deliberate guidance of those who looted, the tide changed and rushed straight to Duan Pingsheng's convoy queue......
