Chapter 133: The Disaster Relief Team Finally Arrives
Come to the window of the carriage.
Jia Cong smiled and said, "I heard from my entourage, Lord Lu has an urgent matter to find me, I don't know what is the urgency?"
"Our group is close to Beijing, but we have only passed Qingyang today, and there are still seven or eight days away from Lintaoshang, this speed is really slow, do you think you can tell them to be faster?"
Lu Ruoteng's face was worried, "You must know that for every day of delay, hundreds of people will starve to death......
"Why don't I want to speed up?"
Jia Cong said helplessly: "But at the moment, this speed is already the limit of the people below, no matter how fast it is, our soldiers and servants who transport grain will be unbearable!"
There was a pause.
Look at Lu Ruoteng still looking at himself.
Jia Cong explained, "Lord Lu also knows that the White Lotus cult is rampant in the disaster area, so I have to ask the soldiers to preserve their combat effectiveness to the greatest extent.
Otherwise, if there is any loss of food for disaster relief, what will we use to help the victims? Lord Lu also knows that there is no longer a second batch of grain in the imperial court."
"Hey......
Lu Ruoteng's eyes darkened.
Seeing this, Jia Cong said again: "I heard that Lord Lu has been eating less recently, how can this be done, you must know that the relief of the drought depends on Lord Lu to sit in the center, and you have to take care of your health!"
In the carriage.
Lu Ruoteng said with a smile: "Uncle Zhongyong don't have to worry, I'm just a little uncomfortable in my stomach because of the long-distance bumps in the carriage, and when I get to Lintao, it will be fine!"
As for disaster relief, what is needed is for us to work together, how can I say it alone?"
That's it.
Lu Ruoteng seemed to have thought of something.
told Jia Cong: "After arriving in Lintao, Uncle Zhongyong will immediately mobilize the army to thoroughly supervise the victims, and if there is a mess anywhere, he will directly deal with it ruthlessly!"
It seems that if such a large-scale drought is accidentally mutinied, the hungry people will immediately become a demon, and they must not be merciful!"
Hear the words.
Jia Cong also laughed, "I am also a person who has led the army for many years, and I can distinguish the priorities, but I will not be merciful, although Lord Lu can rest assured."
"I forgot."
Lu Ruoteng looked at Jia Cong's young and handsome face, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Although Uncle Zhongyong is not very old, he has already led the army for many years and has outstanding military achievements, so I don't have to worry."
Jia Cong smiled and said, "Lord Lu's heart of love and care, Jia Cong remembers it in his heart."
……
Between the rising sun and the setting of the moon, seven or eight days pass in a flash.
On this day, Jia Cong, Lu Ruoteng and their entourage finally came to the territory of Lintao Mansion, and along the way, they could slowly see many victims fleeing to the eastern state capital.
When these people saw the grain convoy that stretched for more than ten miles, as well as the elite of the Beijing camp under Jia Cong, they all subconsciously and quickly hid to the side.
Even if these people carry food.
The experience left by the ancestors told them that in the great famine and catastrophe, sometimes soldiers are more feared than thieves.
The former may also be afraid of the government coming, so they hurriedly pass by and leave.
But once the latter is encountered, it is directly a real robbery, and with plenty of time, they are completely open-minded and robbing, and they are much more ruthless than the bandits.
That's the real sky!
Through the car window.
Lu Ruoteng looked at the ragged and staggering victims in the distance, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "In the year of the great disaster and famine, these people suffered the most!"
As soon as the words fell.
"Wow! Whoa!"
A rapid sound of horses' hooves came from the distance, directly blocking the words that Jia Cong was about to say next to him.
But it was He Dong who came on horseback, "General, after receiving an urgent report from Lintao Mansion and Hanzhong Mansion, there are signs of a large number of White Lotus Sect activities in their respective jurisdictions!"
"White Lotus Cult?"
Jia Cong's brows couldn't help frowning, "As expected, there are disasters everywhere, and there are these people who hate and hate insects, they really deserve to be killed!"
"Found traces of the White Lotus Cult again?"
Lu Ruoteng was also surprised, "This group of demon thieves are used to bewitching the public and harming living beings, and they are really the most deserving people in the world, but now we are in a hurry to provide disaster relief, and I am afraid it will be difficult to clear the ......
"Send someone as soon as possible to report the appearance of the White Lotus Sect demon to Shenjing."
Jia Cong's expression was serious, "There are hundreds of thousands of people in Shaanxi who have suffered from the drought, once they are fanned by the White Lotus Sect, I am afraid that it will be a catastrophe in an instant!"
Lu Ruoteng naturally thought of this stubble.
Nodding and said, "Fortunately, Your Majesty asked us to lead the army directly, otherwise if we wait for something to happen and then send troops, I don't know how many twists and turns will happen......
The words were full of joy.
"When Lord Lu is escorted to Lintao Mansion, I will take people to Lintao Mansion and Hanzhong Mansion."
Looking back at the direction of Hanzhong, Jia Cong's face was serious.
Lu Ruoteng said: "When I first go to the various prefectures in the name of the Qincha, and each of them sweeps up and arrests the White Lotus Sect, as for the subsequent large-scale clearance, it will depend on the loyal and brave uncle."
"It's a good move."
Jia Cong responded.
"There is one more thing I want to tell you," Lu Ruoteng said, "It is said that gentlemen do not build dangerous walls, although the White Lotus Cult is a rabble, but the lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, so you must be cautious."
If Uncle Zhong Yong is the rare treasure, the White Lotus Demon is the stone in the ground, and when the two touch together, even if the stone is broken into slag, it is not as distressing as a slight scratch on the treasure!"
"Master Lu, don't worry, Jia Cong knows it in his heart!"
Jia Cong responded with a smile again.
…………
There are two flowers, one on each branch.
Just when Jia Cong and the others entered the territory of Lintao Mansion.
Outside the city of Lintaofu, it is particularly lively.
I saw that outside the towering city wall, there are large and small disaster camps, and every night, piles of bonfires are lit, and a dotted "heavenly river" is suddenly formed!
During the day.
Standing on the city wall and looking into the distance, there are all the victims within ten miles, and these dense small camps are gathered together, which has also attracted the attention of many people with ulterior motives.
For example, those White Lotus Sect members who wrapped their heads in white cloth!
this day.
When Jia Cong, as the vanguard, led two teams of cavalry to Lintaofu City, the sky had already darkened, and the gates of Fucheng had already fallen.
And so.
The people were left to sleep outside the city.
Of course, even if he lives in the wilderness, Jia Cong doesn't care about it, after all, when he was in Mobei, he slept in the wilderness for the rest of the month.
Not to mention that there was something outside the city that interested Jia Cong.
For example, in the middle of these disaster camps, the group of White Lotus Cultists dressed in robes and wrapped in white cloth were not exactly the goal of Jia Cong's trip?!
Look closely.
The number of this group of White Lotus Sect members was as many as five or six hundred, and all of them looked mysterious.
At this moment, these people were gathered together, led by a tall White Lotus Sect member, quietly haunting the large and small refugee camps.
Then they were connected together and went to one place quietly.
Jia Cong glanced in the direction they were heading, and clearly remembered that when his family came from the east, there was a village of considerable size!
Could it be that the destination of these White Lotus Sect members is that village?
With this in mind.
With a wave of Jia Cong's big hand, the cavalry behind him didn't care about resting, and immediately followed his own generals and stayed far behind this group of White Lotus Sect members......
