Chapter 427: Refugees
Lu Hu, who was following behind Zhao Erlang, had been paying attention to the soldiers beside Zhao Hanzhang, and when he saw the change in the banner, he immediately said: "Little general, let us rush out to the southwest......
Zhao Erlang pulled the reins and rushed to the other side with the people, and after a while, he rushed out of the encirclement, and where he rushed through, the refugees could not connect head to tail, the attack immediately weakened, and some people saw that there were cavalry coming, and they didn't care about looting goods, so they turned around and ran into the mountains.
But will Zhao Erlang let them run, immediately took people to drive them away, and drove them back to the road.
A quarter of an hour later, the fighting ceased, and all the refugees were forced into six circles, some of them squatting on the ground with their sticks dropped, and most of them standing, looking at the cavalry with their backs to backs.
Fu Tinghan and the others also arrived, and when they saw another team of soldiers and horses with a larger number of people coming, the refugees were even more desperate in their hearts, and the people who were unwilling to drop the stones in their hands also dropped the stones, and squatted on the ground with Ren Kill and Kill.
Fu Tinghan didn't expect her to move so fast, rode to her side, glanced around and said, "Is it a bandit or a refugee?" ”
Zhao Hanzhang: "Count it all." ”
The young man standing in the carriage had his eyes shining, jumped out of the carriage and walked towards Zhao Hanzhang......
Zhao Hanzhang showed a gentle and polite smile, and stood still.
Fu Tinghan also dismounted, looked at the young man who was coming quickly, and was slightly surprised, isn't this Zhuchuan?
Zhu Chuan walked quickly to the front, inserted the sword back, and tidied up his sleeves and robe, then raised his hand and shook it deeply, "Thank you Zhao Tingshi for saving your life." ”
Zhao Hanzhang smiled and bowed slightly, "You don't have to be polite, it's because I didn't manage my subordinates well, which frightened you."
Zhao Hanzhang turned his head and Fan Ying said: "After all the bandits are counted, they will be collected and brought down for placement." ”
Fan Ying bowed down and answered, and immediately went down to make arrangements.
Zhu Chuan watched Fan Ying walk towards the refugees, and couldn't help but turn around and ask Zhao Hanzhang, "I don't know how Zhao Tingshi is going to deal with these bandits?" ”
Zhao Hanzhang said: "Ask about the origin and rush to Tuntian to redeem his mistakes." ”
Zhu Chuan has killed a lot of people, and he is not dissatisfied when he hears Zhao Hanzhang deal with it like this, after all, in this troubled world, he killed his parents one moment ago, and the next moment he was like a brother, and there were many people who ate at the same table.
His gaze fell on the soldiers behind Zhao Hanzhang, and he appropriately expressed his doubts, "How could Zhao Tingshi come here?" I still want to come to Xiping to visit you. ”
Zhao Hanzhang said with a smile: "I'm going to Nanyang, not far in front of Nanyang Kingdom, are you from Nanyang?" ”
Zhu Chuan nodded and said "yes", and said with a smile: "It's really a coincidence today, no matter what, I have to invite Zhao Tingshi to have a drink." ”
Zhao Hanzhang responded and immediately asked the soldiers to camp on the spot.
Zhu Chuan went to count his casualties and losses, Zhao Hanzhang stepped forward to see those refugees, and Fu Tinghan asked the accompanying military doctor to come over to help save people and bandage.
The refugees looked at Zhao Hanzhang with big eyes, expecting and wary of her.
Apparently, they had all heard of this new assassin.
Zhao Hanzhang stood in front of them, with a face of hatred that iron is not steel, just like to his own bear children, "The proclamation of disaster relief and the collection of refugees has long been passed down, and I still ordered all counties and counties to let the officials beat gongs and drums everywhere, just for fear that you will not be literate." ”
"This is not far from Xi'e County, Nanyang Kingdom, why don't you go into the city to receive relief, but go out to rob?"
Seeing that Zhao Hanzhang was angry, but not tyrannical, the refugees became bold, they were sad for a while, and immediately knelt on the ground together, and bowed to the ground and said: "Make Jun Rongyu, we don't want to be bandits, we also want to be good citizens, but the counties of Nanyang Country do not allow refugees from the north to enter the city, and we are driven out of Luyang." ”
They lay on the ground, their heads bowed deeply, and Zhao Hanzhang could only hear their voices, but could not see their expressions.
But when she saw the hand with her ten fingers open and pressed against the side of her head, her gaze swept over, and each hand was red, swollen and frostbitten, and some of them burst open, as if she could see the bones inside.
Her gaze slid down her hand to see their bare skin as they broke through the holes, the cold wind blowing, blowing their messy hair and the broken strips of cloth on their bodies......
Zhao Hanzhang didn't know if they were frozen, or when it came to the sadness, his voice trembled slightly, and he choked up, "Although we are in the wilderness, we have also heard the benevolent government of the envoy, and we know that the envoy let us settle down on the spot and wait for relief and land distribution, but we have been driven away in a row, and we really dare not stay in Nanyang Country for a long time." ”
"I heard that the envoy is in Xiping, and Runan County is your hometown, and it is your uncle who is in charge of the government here, so I don't think we will disobey your orders, so we braved the heavy snow to come." He said: "There were only 100 of us, but on the way we met many people who also fled from the north, so we left together. ”
Zhao Hanzhang retracted his gaze at this time, lowered his head and asked, "How many of you are there?" ”
"Originally, there were about four or five thousand people, but it was so cold that many people died, and some people refused to go anymore, so they dug up the soil or built grass houses to spend the winter, and now there are only about 2,000 people with them."
Zhao Hanzhang's eyes swept over, and when he saw that there were only less than a thousand people here, he asked, "Where are the rest of the people?" ”
"In the woods, there are old and weak women and children." The person who had been lying on his stomach finally raised his head slightly, because of tears on his face, his dirty face was washed out one after another, he only dared to look at Zhao Hanzhang quickly, and then he fell down again, lowered his head and said: "We are too cold, too hungry, seeing that this caravan seems to have transported a lot of food and cloth, we can't help but ......"
He didn't finish speaking, Zhao Hanzhang also understood, and directly ordered: "Take us to see." ”
The man heard Zhao Hanzhang's voice calm, not like he was about to get angry, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief, got up and led Zhao Hanzhang into the forest to find out.
Of course, Zhao Hanzhang couldn't go in by herself, she brought a team of people in.
Not far from the forest is a mountain col, here because it is a mountain col, so it is not windy, slightly warmer than outside, Zhao Hanzhang walked to the slope and looked down, and saw a lot of old and young people and women squatting densely below.
Zhao Hanzhang slightly.
Fu Tinghan was also stunned for a moment.
Zhao Hanzhang's gaze swept over, turned back to the young man and said, "Bring them out." ”
Then he turned around and left.
Fu Tinghan sideways the leader sent her away, pretending not to see her reddened eyes, just standing at the exit and waiting for them to come out, he counted in his heart, and counted when people walked by, and at the same time looked at the people, and estimated the approximate age, which existed in his mind.
A little girl walked in a hurry, trotted two steps in order to keep up with the person in front, tripped on the stump, and fell in front of Fu Tinghan with a snap.
Fu Tinghan hurriedly stretched out his hand to help the person up, and saw that she was barefoot, and there were several inappropriate clothes on her body, but none of them were intact, all of them were in tatters.
He glanced at her red and swollen feet, thought for a moment, took off the cloak on his body, wrapped her whole body inside, focused on covering her two little feet, then picked it up and looked back, swept the remaining fifteen people, remembered it and turned away.
See you tomorrow
