Chapter 36 Winning the hearts of the people

However, Jingmen City, which was only separated by two cities from Guan Khan City, had just been breached. It is now winter, and the two sides of the war have made an agreement: an automatic truce in the middle of winter. But now I don't know how to leak the news, the Huns know that Daqi is now short of food and grass, so it is to break the agreement, launched an attack on Daqi, Daqi stationed in the border pass of the soldiers are not much, after the war was triggered, the Huns will be caught off guard by Daqi, Daqi's army is not enough for a while, so the civilians in the nearby cities are gathered, but when the battlefield fights, those usually negligent training veterans do not want to be sent to death, but directly sent the newly recruited soldiers to the front, Let these soldiers who have just come into contact with training take the lead, and these soldiers can only sacrifice in vain.

Wu Gang and the two passed through Guanwu City and Guanshan City, they have been trying to hurry, according to Jiang Zhen's previous speculation that they are going to mobilize people from at least four cities to let them all go to Guanhan City, but now when they rushed to the city wall of Jingmen City, they saw a scene that they remembered for a lifetime, the Huns one by one strong men smashed open the thick city gate, and batches of Xiongnu soldiers slashed and killed those Daqi soldiers who were frightened, and the Daqi soldiers were even more frightened and fled in all directions, Seeing the innocent Daqi civilians running in front of them to block their way, they will wave their hands to push the people in front of them to the ground, and those powerless civilians have become sacrifices after the success of the Xiongnu siege, and one by one the civilians who are silent and still howling here died under the shining cold knife. The two strong men around Wu Gang were even more tearful, and one of them wanted to rush down together, Wu Gang grabbed the man in time, and they quickly returned to Guanshan City, calling out the residents of the city one by one, telling them that Jingmen City was broken, and let them move immediately, but they seemed to be full of indifference and closed the door of their house, and some people even drove Wu Gang out directly. Wu Gang and the two people returned to the city gate with a dejected face, these ordinary people lost hope of life, when their men were forcibly taken away by the officers and soldiers, when their hard-earned food was plundered by the officers and soldiers, they lost their trust in the government, and they also lost their hope of life. Wu Gang looked at the two people in front of him who were as dejected as himself. A sourness and depression filled the whole heart. At this time, Wu Gang took out a bag of grain that Bai Xiaofu gave him before leaving, and Bai Xiaofu handed him the bag of grain and a sentence when Wu Gang left: If those people don't go with you, you can show them this bag of grain.

Wu Gang didn't understand Bai Xiaofu's intentions before, but now he also understands, these ordinary people have lost their yearning for the future, they are not afraid of death, maybe it can be said that they no longer care whether they are alive or dead. What you are doing is not to tell them that you are dying, but to tell them that you have a future and a future.

Wu Gang divided the bag of rice among the two people who were with him, and the three decided to knock on the door again. The family that Wu Gang arrived first was a family that had just kicked himself out, and there was only one woman left in this family with a four or five-year-old daughter. Wu Gang knocked on the door of the family first, no one answered, Wu Gang simply climbed over the wall into the courtyard of this house, opened the door of the main house, and saw the woman sitting at the head of the bed with the child in her arms, the two of them were wrapped in two quilts that were already a little old, the temperature in the house was not much better than outside, fortunately there was no wind, but the two were still shivering from the cold, the mother and daughter were also hungry for a lot of days, their cheeks were sunken, their faces were dark yellow, their eyes were gray, their eyes were bruised, and their lips were frozen black and purple, and the corners of their mouths were dry and cracked. The black-red blood had also scabbed.

Wu Gang pushed the door in, and the little girl looked at him, but the woman didn't look at Wu Gang, and said weakly: "Whoever allowed you to break into my house, get out of here." ”

Wu Gang came to the woman's face and put the remaining half bag of rice in front of the woman, and the woman's eyes suddenly brightened, and Wu Gang said, "We have food." With that, the woman looked up at him.

Wu Gang continued: "Now that Jingmen City has been breached, the same thing may happen if you stay in this city again, and you don't want your daughter to die at a young age,"

Wu Gang wanted to persuade this stubborn woman again, but he didn't expect this woman to take the initiative to open her mouth to interrupt him, and asked in a slightly eager voice, "Where is the food?" ”

Wu Gang was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The grain is in Guan Hancheng, as long as you go there, you can get food and survive." ”

After listening to Wu Gang's words, the woman quickly stood up and began to pack her things and set off, as if she was suddenly full of strength. Wu Gang's thin body knew that if an ordinary person wanted to cross Guanwu City from Guanshan City to Guanshan City, he would have to walk for three whole days in a hurry, Wu Gang gave the half bag of noodles in his hand to the woman, hoping that she could take her daughter to Guan Hancheng smoothly.

After that, Wu Gang went to other people's houses one after another, and the result was unexpectedly smooth, when Wu Gang and the three of them gathered in the city again, some people began to go out of the city one after another, and the food in the hands of Wu Gang and the other two people was almost finished.

When the people of Guanshan City migrated and left Guanshan City, the fleeing soldiers had already opened the gates of Guanshan City and fled in disgrace.

The three of them came to Guanwu City again, and lit up all the hopes of the people of Guanwu City, of course, when they persuaded the people of Guanwu City, these people were also influenced by the people who ran from Guanshan City, and they all believed Wu Gang's words.

At the same time, Bai Xiaofu's side was also properly placed, and they concentrated the people of Guan Han City in the area near the inner city gate, and vacated the houses at the outer city gate in order to settle other people in the city. During this time, they have been cooking and eating together, eating very economically, and everyone gets the same amount of food, even the children get the same amount as the adults, after all, the amount of food that adults eat is only enough for the children to be not hungry just now.

Half a month passed, and only then did people come to Guan Hancheng one after another, and when the last group of people escorted by Wu Gang and the three arrived, twenty days had passed since the day Wu Gang left, and the people from the other two cities had also moved to Guan Hancheng, and all the people together did not fill the houses in Guan Hancheng.

Since the first wave of people moved in, Bai Xiaofu and Qian Sanjin have been really busy, they have counted the people, and registered the original place of origin, name, family population, remaining population in the family, and the house where they live now.

After everyone arrived, Bai Xiaofu and Qian Sanjin distributed the grain, originally they were worried that someone would come to grab the grain, but when they met the minimum food and clothing problem of these people, these people were very grateful to them, plus Jiang Zhen had been guarding the grain and grass and their team, and they did not find that there were spies and people who wanted to steal grain and grass in this team.

Bai Xiaofu and Qian Sanjin distributed the grain and grass reasonably according to the statistical data, and each adult had two percent more food than the child, but the adults had to organize themselves to work, which was also the countermeasure that Bai Xiaofu came up with after discussing with Jiang Zhen, now they can't just live by guarding these grains and grasses, there is not much grain and grass, and there must be a day when they run out, and even on this day, when the grain is distributed, it begins to enter the countdown, according to the consumption of food by normal people, This is only enough food for three months for everyone here, and even if these people are able to save money now, it will not be more than four months, but it is unknown whether the fighting will be fought in four months.

So after observing that these people are not spies, Jiang Zhen and the other two people went to buy seeds that can be planted in spring, most of these seeds are mainly grain, and there are also some vegetables, these seeds can be planted in the ground at the beginning of spring, and if it goes well, they can borrow stubble from the grain and grass that is distributed, so as to ensure that at least people will not go hungry in a short time.

When those people received the food, many people burst into tears when they took the food and seeds into their hands, this is an old woman knelt down towards Qian Sanjin, Bai Xiaofu and Jiang Zhen and those thugs, as if everyone was waiting for such an opportunity, everyone knelt down one after another, and words of thanks came one after another.

"Thank you, thank you for ......"

"You guys are so nice people, thank you......"

"Thank you......"

"You are really living bodhisattvas, thank you......"

A thank you smashed on everyone's heart, and the kowtowing action was like knocking on the tip of each of their hearts, and their chests were hot and hot.

Bai Xiaofu looked at Jiang Zhen standing in front of him with relief, these people were the previous decision of Jiang Zhen who knelt, and it was Jiang Zhen's benevolent heart that knelt down. Jiang Zhen exchanged his benevolent heart for the simple sincerity of so many people.

Jiang Zhen just looked blankly at the ordinary people who knelt down towards him, and he had not been less bowed by others before, princes and generals, princes and ministers, everyone was more weighty than the people in the whole city, but his heart had never felt so hot and warm. He saw and felt the sincerity of these people.
