Second brother, wake up. ”

In the fog, Bai Ling felt a hand pushing his shoulder.

She opened her eyes with some difficulty and saw Li Yiru's somewhat anxious face.

"What time is it...... Bai Ling sat up with his forehead propped up, it was already dawn outside.

"It's almost midday," replied Li Yiru, looking at the window, "There's a group of people in the backyard arguing early in the morning, it's too far away for me to hear what's going on, but it seems that there are more and more people......"

Bai Ling suddenly came to his senses.

I chatted with Li Yiru too late last night, and was forcibly woken up like this morning, Bai Ling only felt a hangover-like headache rise in his head.

Bai Ling reluctantly got up, changed his clothes, and washed quickly.

Cold water was poured on the face, and the headache gradually fell silent.

"I'll go to the backyard and have a look." Bai Ling whispered, "You're still here waiting for my news—"

Before the words fell, Li Yiru had already nimly put his fingers against his mouth and made a silent movement, his whole body tensed up, and he looked up at the zenith.

"What's wrong?" Bai Ling looked up.

"Someone ......," Li Yiru replied softly, "someone is up there." ”

At the same moment, the two of them simultaneously heard a slight disturbance of tiles coming from the roof, and then an upside-down figure hung from the window.

"Ah, have you been found out?" The deer hunter's face peeked out from the off-white cloak, "Early. ”

Seeing that it was this old acquaintance, Li Yiru breathed a sigh of relief, but soon remembered something, quickly hid behind Bai Ling, and nervously probed out, "...... You're not going to get me again, are you? ”

"Thinking too much." The deer hunter's foot gently kicked on the window beam, and almost silently swung into the house, and said with a smile, "Last time I caught you, who let us have a fate and bumped into it?" ”

"What do you have to do?"

"Let's stay in the house first." The deer hunter smiled and said, "Don't go out into troubled waters at this time." ”

“…… So what's going on out there? ”

"Cao Zhifu and Shao County Order, there is a fight."

……

Although he got up late, breakfast in the county government still did not fall, and the servants prepared a large bowl of rice porridge for two as before—although this Mr. Wei looked thin, he had to eat a lot of food at every meal.

When Bai Ling took the food and returned to the house, she skillfully divided the rice porridge into two portions, and then raised her eyes to look at the deer hunter, "You or?" ”

"No need."

Bai Ling lowered his head and chewed, and after calming the hunger in his stomach a little, he said softly, "Earlier, Vice General Wang turned back halfway, and you came to report the news, right?" ”

"Hmm." The deer hunter nodded generously.

"General Chang asked you to come?"

"Nature." The deer hunter whispered, "I just came back from Yanzhou, and I can return to Zhuozhou before October." ”

Li Yiru's movements paused, "Then you came to look at the two ends for ......?" ”

The deer hunter looked at Bai Ling, his eyes narrowed into slits, "It's nothing, just to see if you need help here......"

Bai Ling and Li Yiru were stunned for a moment at the same time, and raised their eyes to look at the deer hunter for a long time.

Bai Ling came back to his senses first, "If it's for the sake of those Hestas I let go of in Stone Monkey Town, you don't have to worry about it. At that time, there were few of us, and we put saving people first, if we really killed those horsemen, I don't know how they would resist to the death...... Not out of compassion. ”

The deer hunter laughed.

"I'm just passing through," he said softly, "not necessarily to repay the favor." ”

Li and Bai glanced at each other.

……

At noon, Bai Ling set out from the side gate and walked to Wang Meng's military camp in the north of the city.

Shao Kuan was really there, and when Bai Ling entered the tent, he saw the silent Shao County Order, and he sat there with his eyes slightly red.

"Lord Wang," Bai Ling stepped forward and saluted, "I saw several underground granaries open their doors along the way, is this to transport grain to support Zhuozhou?" ”

Wang Meng's face was not very good-looking, and he nodded.

"What's wrong?" Bai Ling glanced at Shao Kuan with some concern, "Governor Cao has already done it?" ”

"I didn't mention any major cases of Qinyuan's remnants, but from today on, Cao Xun will temporarily take charge of the two heads." Wang Meng said in a low voice, "Look at this." ”

Wang Meng handed over a letter, and Bai Ling quickly unfolded it.

"It's ...... General Chang's handwritten letter? Bai Ling looked at it with ten lines, and suddenly exclaimed, "...... Do you want to move the people who are looking at each other else? For—"

Before the "why" was finished, Bai Ling saw the reason for the victory.

He wanted to restore the two sides to a purely military location.

The reason is very simple, the management in the army is very transparent, and most of the soldiers know the roots, if there are gold thieves who should be mixed in, it is easy to detect anything unusual.

But if there are people in the city, it is different, and it is difficult for the government to completely stop the movement of the people - it is now a cold winter, and there are gold thieves outside, and the people are naturally willing to stay in the city obediently.

However, in the spring and summer of next year, or in times of peace, such strong restrictions could easily lead to conflicts between the government and the people.

It is better to plan as soon as possible, choose the right time, and move the people of the two heads to Yan and Zhuo, so that the elements of the two heads of hope will become single again, and the combat effectiveness of the entire city defense can also be improved by more than a star and a half.

As for the establishment of this county, Chang Sheng will go to Beijing together with Cao Xun, after all, it is for the sake of anti-Jin, and I believe that it will be approved by the above.

"So...... It's a good idea. Bai Ling said softly, "There is not much farmland at both ends, and when we start spring next year, we will move to Zhuozhou and Yanzhou, maybe we can really open up a piece of barren land." ”

Shao Kuan's eyes suddenly looked over, and his throat was hoarse.

"I can't wait for the spring of next year......"

Bai Ling was stunned for a moment, then turned his gaze to the letter again, and read it back and forth several times.

When it comes to time, there is only one sentence "choose the right time".

Bai Ling suddenly understood something.

"Could it be that the Cao Governor's Mansion wants the people who are looking at both ends to leave now?"

"Governor Cao has already given me a new order," Shao Kuan's voice was low, "I will take the people from the east of the city to Yanzhou tomorrow." ”

"Yanzhou?" Bai Ling was a little puzzled, "Isn't the two-headed view in Zhuozhou?" ”

"Because the road to Yanzhou was blown up," Wang Meng replied, "if you want to go to Zhuozhou, you have to take a long detour, and let the people go to Yanzhou to get food on the road—this reason makes sense." ”

Bai Ling blinked, still puzzled.

"But why do you have to leave now? The weather is so cold, and there are many women and children in both directions. From here to Yanzhou, even if it is a march, it will take two or three days, not to mention these civilians...... Such a simple truth, there is no reason why Cao Zhifu can't figure it out. ”

"Then ...... I have to ask Cao Xun himself. Shao Kuan said coldly.
