Chapter 169: Trouble

The gates of the city were quickly squeezed open, and those who were about to die would not care about the lives of others, even if they squeezed the people in front of them to death.

Tens of thousands of refugees poured into the city gates, and the 500 garrisons who rushed to hear the news were instantly overwhelmed by the crowd.

Soon, smoke and fire were everywhere in the city, and the noisy voices of people could be heard for miles.

Gu Du turned around and walked back, and there was a report ten days ago that Lingyu County sent someone to Sunset Pass, but Sunset Pass has not moved, it must be that the guards of Sunset Pass are unwilling to send troops to suppress the refugees, because this is a thankless task.

But today the refugees rushed into Lingyu County, and the refugees became chaotic people and mobs, so that's another matter.

It's just that if this news reaches Rizhao Pass, it will take at least two days, in case the garrison is killed by refugees, and the county government does not send people to ask for help in time, then I don't know how many days it will take.

However, it doesn't matter whether Sunset Pass can get the news in time, because there is not much grain in the city, and the most grain in the city is Gu Du's grain store, but the porridge has been empty for nearly a month.

Lingyu County is a dead city, and refugees will inevitably flock to Sunset Pass, because in the north of the grassland, there is still a rich Zeguo to go to.

Abundance, a word that once belonged only to the Spirit Kingdom, can finally be used on Ze Kingdom.

When he returned to the main village and walked to his house, a female disciple came over and said with a cold face: "Uncle, the little junior sister choked on drinking water today." ”

"Oh." Gu Du agreed, a little inexplicable.

After taking two more steps, another female disciple came over and said with a cold face: "Uncle, today the little junior sister has learned embroidery." ”

Gu Du frowned, stood in place and watched the female disciple walk away, and as soon as he turned his head, another female disciple came over, and said with the same cold face: "Uncle, the little junior sister is stuck in dinner today." ”

Gu Du suddenly came to his senses, they were saying that he had done such evil, and Dongfang Xia Lan was suffering retribution.

Gu Du smiled bitterly, it is different to have a mother's family, choking on drinking water, learning embroidery, and getting stuck in eating, these are all ordinary things, but when it comes to Dongfang Xia Lan, these have become a big deal.

Gu Du shook his head, women are already soft-hearted, and Juelingmen lives in seclusion, so naturally they can't see such a miserable situation of purgatory in the world, let them say it, anyway, no matter how unhappy they are in their hearts, they have to call him uncle.

Gu Du returned to the room, Dongfang Xia Lan raised the embroidery work in her hand with a smile on her face, and said, "I embroidered, it looks good, right?" ”

Gu Du smiled, walked over and hugged her, glanced at the shape of the cloth like a flower and a ball, and said, "You should cultivate hard, what are you doing to learn this?" If only you could follow me into battle, you don't have to know that. ”

Dongfang Xia Lan said: "Lixia will, and I will too." ”

Gu Duwei frowned, why did he get on the same page with Lixia again? He asked, "Did Xia later believe it?" ”

Dongfang Xia Lan replied: "No, I poured my clothes today and saw the big one she made for you." ”

Gu Du smiled, raised his hand and tapped her nose, and said, "You are really idle." ”

Dongfang Xia Lan pouted and said, "You don't take me with you anything, of course I'm idle." ”

Gu Du smiled, stroked her face and coaxed, "Good, I'm for your good." ”

Dongfang Xia Lan replied: "I know, I'm not obedient and idle at home." ”

Emperor Linghuang deployed troops to suppress the mob of the Northeast Jiepole Uprising, and on the other hand, he transferred money and food for disaster relief, but he did not get the news of the Northwest Riot, because the garrison and yacha of Lingyu County were killed by the hungry people, and the county commander Liu Tai and the garrison commander Li Ke only took a few surviving soldiers and fled to Sunset Pass, and the counties where the refugees passed before were not reported, and they all thought that as long as they did not make trouble in their own jurisdictions.

In less than ten days, Lingyu County was almost in ruins, and the surviving people began to march towards Sunset Pass, and Sunset Pass has not moved, but the city gate is closed, and additional defenders have been sent to the city.

The sunset guard sent Qiu Changshou to expedite for 600 miles, but he did not take the northwest official road, but went around Zhenbei Pass from outside the pass, and reported to the imperial city from the first line of Zhenbei Pass.

When the Spirit Emperor received the urgent report, the refugees were already approaching the Guanxia Pass, shouting noisily under the pass: "Open the door!" We're going to eat! We're going to Zeguo! ”

Qiu Changshou learned the lesson of Lingyu County and ordered people to strengthen the city gate in advance, so the refugees couldn't squeeze in for a while, but Qiu Changshou didn't dare to order the arrows to be released easily, and arranged dozens of defenders to spread the word in unison: "Don't mess up, this general has already reported to the imperial court, and there will be relief grain and rice soon!" ”

The disciples of the Jueling Sect crowded into the crowd and shouted, "How fast is it soon? We are all going to starve to death, how long will it take for the grain and rice to arrive? You give us food first! ”

Qiu Changshou was speechless, the military rations in Guanzhong could not be used for disaster relief, otherwise the soldiers would have no food to eat, and it was very likely that they would mutiny, and even if the military rations were taken out, they would not be able to feed so many people, and in the end, no one would have anything to eat.

The disciples of the Jueling Sect shouted again: "If you don't give us food, let us out of the customs, and we can go to Zeguo while eating grass!" ”

The refugees shouted, "Let us out!" We're going to Zeguo! ”

No one thought that they were originally opposed to Zeguo, hungry, they wanted to eat, they wanted to live, as long as they could live, they could go anywhere, anyway, they were all farming and eating.

The refugees flocked to the city gate again, and someone shouted: "Don't crowd it, let's go over the mountain!" ”

The disciples of the Jueling Sect shouted: "We can't climb the mountain, we are so hungry that we have no strength, and we will die in the mountain!" ”

The person next to him looked at him and asked, "Is there food in the mountains?" Grass roots, tree bark, and maybe ......"

Before he finished speaking, a dagger pierced into his abdomen, and the person who spoke stared at the Juelingmen disciple with wide eyes, and the Juelingmen disciple released the dagger, squeezed to the front, and shouted, "Rush in!" Grab their food! You can't starve to death like this! ”

The man who had just spoken fell to the ground, and was trampled off by the people who rushed up from behind.

Qiu Changshou couldn't hold back and shouted, "Stand back!" Otherwise I'm going to release the arrows! ”

The messenger shouted three times in a row, and the refugees were still pushing the city gate, Qiu Changshou could only order: "Release the arrow!" ”

Sunset Pass is different from Lingyu County, Sunset Pass has 30,000 defenders, 8,000 archers, an order, arrows on the head of the city are like locusts, the refugees under the city fell a large area in an instant, the people behind do not dare to squeeze forward, no one is a fool, they all know that the pass is different from the county, no matter how many refugees there are, they will be slaughtered by the defenders of Guanzhong.

In the distance, Gu Du took a few of the most pretentious female disciples to stand on the hillside and watch, and when he saw the arrows released at the head of the city, Gu Du said: "I just reduced their food, and I didn't kill them, it was they who killed each other." ”
