240. The road meets the little lady of the Yuan family

Originally, Yue Fei led his troops to this battle, and I watched the battle in Nanjing, but now Liu Beijun also has a certain degree of threat, although it seems to be very regular now, but no one knows if there will be any moths in the future.

So I still asked Yue Fei to appoint a generalissimo, and then guard the western frontier to prevent Liu Beijun's sudden attack.

I led an army of 80,000 to cross the Yangtze River smoothly, all the way to the north, for a few days, and Xiaopei was already faintly in sight.

After walking in the Huainan area for a few days, many people feel that most of this once fertile and rich land is now barren, and the villages are gradually withering.

For no other reason, the local bandits and bandits in Xuzhou have been driven away, and some of the rogues and bandits in Jiangdong have also been driven out, and now they are active in Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Yanzhou, and Yangzhou, occupying official roads, and these roads have become a paradise for robbers from all walks of life.

The situation in the county towns is slightly better, the villages outside the county town will usher in more or less plundering almost every day, robbers from the four prefectures of Yanxu, Yangyu and more or less, thousands of huge people, two or three hundred small people, looting everywhere they go, cattle and sheep are taken away, crops are harvested, and all the old and young are captured and brought back to the cottage.

Living in such an environment all day long, survival has become a problem, who still wants to farm? Whenever there is a head, most of them help the old and the young to go to Jingnan or Jiangdong to go to relatives, and those who have nowhere to go dare not stay at home, and would rather go to the county seat to ask for food than be a ghost who died unjustly under the knife of a strongman. And this land is also a vacuum area, and there is no one to govern it, which has achieved the current situation.

Once densely populated, the small towns of Huainan have become sparsely populated and desolate, which is really embarrassing.

In the distance, there was a group of displaced people, walking towards Koto.

"Mother, after walking all this distance, I finally saw piles of people! A lot of girls look good! Chang Yuchun on the side said.

Qin Qiong glanced at Chang Yuchun and said with a smile: "You kid looks handsome when he looks at the mare now!" That's all poor people, you don't want to make a bad idea! ”

"These people should go to Jiangdong for refuge, some time ago, Cao Mengde fought repeatedly, although he defeated Han Fu, Kong Rong and others, but also displaced countless people." Guan Yinping said.

Zhao Pu next to him said: "What the eldest lady said is very true, now everyone in the world knows that the people in my Jiangdong area are stable, everyone has food to eat, and there are doctors to see, so many people have come south from far away to join us......"

"It's all the work of the lord." Qin Qiong said with a smile.

I pulled the Yezhao Jade Lion, and I said: "Arrange some people to escort these homeless people, now there are many rogue gangsters in Jianghuai, if you meet a gang that specializes in robbing people, these people will be bad." ”

"The lord is sympathetic to the people, this is the blessing of Jiangdong and the blessing of the people of the world!" Zhao Pu on the side said.

I laughed, immediately waved my hand and said, "Okay, except for the people who stay, the others continue to move forward and join Tao Gong!" ”

Along the way, we saved many people and killed many thieves.

When we were about to enter Xiao Pei's realm, I rescued a young girl from the crowd.

The girl had been captured by the bandits, and was about to be taken into the mountains, and after I had slain the bandits, at the last moment, I slapped my horse and arrived, stretched my ape arms, took the girl who had fallen from the horse in my arms, and lifted her upwards sharply, and pulled the girl back on the horse.

The bandits left behind six or seven hundred corpses and fled one after another, after all, our army had 80,000 follow-up people, and a thousand bandits were not enough to justify.

I looked at the girl and said, "Little lady, you are safe now, hurry up and look for your relatives!" ”

After killing the rogue, I carried the girl back to the refugee group, put the girl on the horse under the horse, and gave a sound.

When she landed, she saw the girl's appearance clearly, although her face was dirty, covered with dust and dirt, but the natural beauty could not be concealed, the delicate beauty of the facial features hidden under the dust, and a pair of big eyes like a clear spring seemed to be able to speak. Although he was only wearing a coarse cloth robe, his slender and slender figure could not be concealed.

"What a handsome little lady, this appearance doesn't seem to be under Jiangdong Erqiao!" When I saw the girl's face clearly, I couldn't help but admire in my heart. Such a stunning stunner is rare in the world.

"Thank you for the general's life-saving grace, the people's daughter is here to find her mother!"

The girl saluted me immediately, thanked me in a pleasant voice, and turned to go.

After running away for a few steps, he suddenly smiled back, revealing two rows of shell-like teeth: "General, the concubine's name is Feng Shuang, I don't know the general's name?" If you have the opportunity, the concubine will definitely repay you for saving your life! ”

"Me?"

I was stunned for a moment, and then smiled slightly: "Forget it, it's just a meeting in Pingshui, why bother asking for a name!" As a soldier, it is my duty to protect the people, so let's go quickly if you talk about life-saving grace! ”

Although the girl's appearance is outstanding, it is not too much to call it one out of a thousand. But I didn't lack women, so I didn't even hesitate, so I refused the girl's kindness.

"Uh......" The girl was a little disappointed, then showed a relieved smile, and bowed to me again, "In this case, the concubine will go, may the general take care!" ”

After Feng Shuang finished saluting me, she immediately pinched the hem of her shirt with both hands and ran towards the depths of the refugee group, shouting as she ran wildly: "Mother? Father? Where are you? Ah Shuang is back! ”

After a while, Guan Yinping said: "The girl you saved just now seems to have suffered an accident, you go and take a look." ”

"Oh?" I looked at the silver screen in puzzlement, and immediately hurried over, only to see the handsome Feng Shuang suddenly crying and falling to the ground, holding his father with one hand and his mother with the other, and calling for help to the refugees around him.

"Is there a healer, is there a healer? Come and save people, even if it is a cow or a horse, I will repay you in this life! ”

But the dejected refugees have just recovered from their fright, and their relatives are still searching, running around one by one, where can anyone care to take a second look at this poor girl.

In these troubled times, death is really a common thing!

Seeing the refugees calling for their children and daughters in the wilderness, running in panic, I immediately stepped on the horse and shouted: "Fathers and elders, don't panic, lest we trample on each other, we are all sergeants on Jiangdong's back, and we will never hurt you!" Now that Jiangdong is rich, everyone in Jiangdong has food to eat and land to cultivate, everyone will take you in when you go over, and there will be ships on the north bank of the Yangtze River to meet you, and then a few hundred miles to the south, you can go to the port for refuge. The rogues along the way were shocked by the army, and they will not appear again in a short time! ”

After listening to my loud voice, the chaotic refugees really settled down, and quickly straightened out their clues, and the families who were scattered by the exiles were reunited smoothly, and they kowtowed to the military master on the horse to thank them, and then helped the old and the young to go south.

With the migration of refugees, fewer and fewer people remained in this wilderness, and most of the people who remained were people whose families had died in the raid, one by one guarding the corpses and refusing to leave, and not knowing what to do, so they could only kneel next to their relatives and weep.

I rode through the rest of the refugees, and accidentally found Feng Shuang, who was holding the corpses of my parents and screaming mournfully, and I couldn't help but get off the horse and ask.

"Mother and father were killed by robbers, and I have nowhere to go, general......"

Feng Shuang was about in her early twenties, her hair was tied up in a bun, and she knew at a glance that she had been married, but it seemed that she had been separated from her husband, and now she was living on the street with her parents.

I got off the horse and took a look, only to find the waist card on Feng Shuang's body, with the word "Yuan" clearly written on it!

I said, "Are you Yuan Shu's man?" ”

Feng Shuang was shocked, and she looked at me in fear.

I hurriedly said: "I can't hide it, I'm Jiangdong Lin Mubai, what happened to the Yuan family, you tell me carefully, maybe I can help." ”

Looking at Feng Shuang's pitiful appearance, my heart moved, and I said, "You say first, can't I make the decision for you?" I see that you died your parents at a young age, which is really sad! ”

I patted Feng Shuang's fragrant shoulder, slowly snatched the already cold and stiff corpse from her arms, and motioned for the soldiers behind me to bury the person.

People die for the greatest, and they are safe in the ground, so that the deceased can have a handful of loess to bury their bones, which can be regarded as a little effort.
