Chapter 400: The Crisis in Ping'an County
Compared with other counties, at least the most basic order can be guaranteed, and it is beneficial that the He family provides food almost free of charge, and the people in Ping'an County can barely fill their stomachs, and there is no big mess.
After some nearby homeless people heard about these things, they gradually poured into Ping'an County, whether it was the responsibility of the county order or his own conduct, Tang Liufeng could not let it go, so he divided an area in Ping'an County for these homeless people to live in, and provided a meal of gruel every day.
However, in the final analysis, although Ping'an County is a large county, it still can't escape the size that a county town should have, and the number of people it can accommodate is limited.
Now, as more and more displaced people gather over, Ping'an County is becoming more and more crowded, and two days ago, because of regional problems, some of the displaced people and local residents have fought.
Although the matter was quickly suppressed, it was clearly a bad sign.
Also, what needs to be paid more attention than this is that the Taiping Heavenly Army, those thieves who took advantage of the chaos...... But he received very bad, very bad news.
The people of the Taiping Heavenly Army have occupied Yongfeng County, and Ping'an County is not far from Yongfeng County, I believe that the next target of these rebellious ministers and thieves of the Taiping Heavenly Army must be Ping'an County, after all, Ping'an County suffered less losses in this flood, and the amount of food in Lingzhou also has a certain ranking.
When this happens, what can be done to resist the Taiping Heavenly Army, I heard that the Taiping Heavenly Army now has more than 50,000 people, and it is not easy to attack the small county seat of Ping'an County?
Thinking of this, Tang Liufeng couldn't help but feel a pain in his skull, and couldn't help but want to reach out and rub his swelling and painful head, but two small hands took the lead in pressing on his head.
Tang Liufeng was taken aback, and hurriedly turned his head and looked behind him.
"Madame, when are you here?" , his voice was surprised.
"I just came here for a while, and I saw that you seemed to be thinking about something, so I didn't bother you," said the delicate young woman standing behind Tang Liufeng.
After speaking, he continued to rub his head for Tang Liufeng.
Tang Liufeng couldn't help but show a comfortable look, and it seemed that Fang Cai's sorrow had suddenly faded a lot.
Looking at his expression, the delicate young woman asked, "Husband, what are you worried about?" Is it because of the homeless people? ”
Although she is only a woman, she still knows more or less about some of the situations in Ping'an County.
Tang Liufeng shook his head, then thought for a while before saying, "Although the issue of displaced people is also a big problem, the biggest problem at the moment is not this, but about the Taiping Heavenly Army!" ”
"Taiping Heavenly Army?" The delicate young woman looked confused.
Regarding the news of the Taiping Heavenly Army, not many people in Ping'an County know about it, otherwise Ping'an County would have been in chaos a long time ago.
"That's right! Taiping Heavenly Army! Tang Liufeng is sure to be authentic.
Then, he revealed to the delicate young woman about the Taiping Heavenly Army.
"Husband......
The delicate young woman grabbed Tang Liufeng's hand, and worry and fear involuntarily appeared on her pretty face.
Sensing her fear, Tang Liufeng couldn't help but pull her into his arms, and said comfortingly: "Madam, please rest assured, I will definitely protect you well as a husband." ”
"Hmmm......"
The delicate young woman leaned on Tang Liufeng's chest, looked at Tang Liufeng with fixed eyes, and a little confusion appeared, and then said softly: "Husband, I'm pregnant." ”
"Pregnant?"
Tang Liufeng was stunned at first, and then suddenly became pleasantly surprised.
"Ma'am, you mean we have children?"
The delicate young woman lifted her head from Tang Liufeng's chest, and stroked Tang Liufeng's face with both hands, her husband's face was much thinner than before because of this period of time.
"Yes, husband, we have children, in order for our children to be able to see their father when they are born, husband, you must protect your own safety."
Tang Liufeng hugged her arms and couldn't help but tighten his strength, and said in a low voice: "For the sake of our children, the husband will." ”
Tuk Tuk ......
At that moment, there was a knock on the door, followed by a respectful voice.
"Master, the head of the He family asks to see you."
......
"I don't know what the head of the family came to find this official?"
Tang Liufeng looked at He Ruan, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.
At first, he thought that all the families in the world were a raccoon dog, but he didn't expect that in this great flood, the He family stood up and didn't ask for anything in return, and contributed their own food without saying a word, which made him change his view of the family.
He Ruan's face was quite solemn and said: "Lord Tang, He Mou will not go around the corner, he came here today just for the Taiping Heavenly Army!" ”
"I don't know what the head of the family said about it?" , Tang Liufeng asked.
Judging by his expression, he was not much surprised as to why He Ruan knew about the Taiping Heavenly Army.
He Ruan said: "Lord Tang, you should also know that once the Taiping Heavenly Army really comes, with the defensive strength of Ping'an County, if nothing happens, eight or nine will be broken at the first touch." ”
Tang Liufeng didn't mean to deny it, but asked, "Then what does the head of the He family think about this, or what is the way to resist the Taiping Heavenly Army?" ”
Hearing this, He Ruan couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then said: "Lord Tang, you think too highly of He, He is just a cloth cloth, in the face of the menacing Taiping Heavenly Army, what can be done is to escape." ”
"Run?"
Tang Liufeng's eyes condensed slightly, and he seemed to have vaguely guessed He Ruan's intention in his heart.
He Ruan continued: "The thieves of the Taiping Heavenly Army will kill all the local officials and families every time they go to a place, even if they surrender, it will be useless, it is simply mad, and the next target of these thieves is Ping'an County, when the time comes, if Lord Tang's family and He's family are still in Ping'an County, I am afraid it will be difficult to escape this catastrophe." ”
Ping'an County is the place where their He family's base camp is located, and it must not be discarded unless it is a last resort, and now it is obviously a last resort......
As for the He family, they had already decided to flee from Ping'an County before the Taiping Heavenly Army attacked Ping'an County, and they just fled by themselves, why did He Ruan take this extra step to inform Tang Liufeng of Tang Daxian Order, hoping to flee Ping'an County together? There are two reasons for this.
First, during this time, he had a good relationship with Tang Liufeng, and he had established a certain friendship, and he didn't really want Tang Liufeng to throw his life here.
Second, in the process of escaping, there will always be a variety of indescribable problems and dangers, although they He family has a nursing home to ensure the safety of their lives, but it does not guarantee that there will be no danger that their own nursing home will not help, Tang Liufeng as the county commander of Ping'an County, at this time the strength of the hand is much more than their He family's nursing home, and the combat effectiveness is also higher, in the process of escaping, walking with Tang Liufeng can better protect the safety of life.
If it was an hour ago, no, half an hour ago, Tang Liufeng would have denied it directly without saying a word, but knowing that his wife had just become pregnant, for this reason, he couldn't help but hesitate and be silent at this time.
After a long while, Tang Liufeng said, "Master He, if even I, the county commander, escaped, what should those people do?" ”
There was a hint of mockery in his expression.
He Ruan said: "Let them flee too, it's better to be displaced than to stay where they are and wait for death, besides, the people are neither from the family nor the government, and those thieves from the Taiping Heavenly Army will not do anything to them." ”
Tang Liufeng fell silent again.
