Good morning! Three Kingdoms Migrant Workers Section 286
In fact, some people have already eaten up what little food they have left, and they have to go hungry on the road.
They will try to sell their sons and daughters at first, and then they will have to sell their wives, and of course they will be happy to sell themselves, but who will buy them at this time when they don't need extra labor?
Langya County sent some grain, so that Zhuge Xuan could distribute a little to the people from time to time, but it was still a drop in the bucket.
Everywhere people died, everywhere people were stealing or robbing.
The situation is not serious at the moment, and the displaced people can maintain order under the command of the officials, but without enough food and shelter to provide them, mass deaths will only be inevitable.
The officials who were responsible for channeling it, cleaning it up, so that it could flow slowly into Xuzhou, and survive the winter were exhausted and exhausted, while there were still so many displaced people that it seemed endless, endless.
"Those who are scholars will also eat bread." Zhuge Xuan sighed and said, "Besides, the food in their hands is no better than in the hands of the thieves, after all, it is still visible." β
Even if they could see it, could the Father ask for them again?
Zhuge Liang secretly looked at his uncle.
Uncle obviously felt that it was not easy to get to this point, and as for the next step, he had no time to think about it carefully.
But the young man sitting on the other side muttered in his heart.
Zhuge Xuan is a righteous gentleman, with an elegant demeanor when he talks, and a lenient way to deal with affairs, and he is the kind of magistrate who is the favorite of scholars.
If he doesn't have food then, who else will?
"My father wants to write a letter," he said suddenly, "why don't you write a letter to Zang Xuangao as well." β
"Him?" Zhuge Xuan was stunned for a moment, "What are you writing to him for?" It is rumored that he also had a relationship with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao......"
"That's better," Zhuge Liang said with a smile, "He has dealings with Yuan Benchu and Cao Mengde, but isn't he more associated with General Xiaolu?" β
Look from the Father! Anyway, he is also a beautiful and dignified Taishou, and he was also looked down upon by General Xiao Lu in the past! Let's just say that these scribes and generals are added together, who can be picked up by General Xiao Lu from Jingzhou thousands of miles away!
Such a character, can't he still bluff Zang Ba to help?
Chapter 272
Chen Qun is a smart and cautious person, so he rarely gets into trouble.
But now he is really embarrassed.
After a night of autumn rain, the clear weather returned in the early morning. The sky is washed like a mirror, and like a transparent lake, looking up, you can't help but feel refreshed.
The leaves in the forest have gradually turned yellow, and the woodland has accumulated layers of fallen leaves, rustling on them, stretching out their hands and shaking the trunks, and the branches are like rain, and then a fallen leaf is sprinkled.
The geese have flown out, but the cold wind in early winter has not yet reached this woodland, so as Chen Qun, who was born in a family of scholars, has elegant aesthetics and has his own manners, even if he does not go out to play with two or three friends in this weather, at least he can make a pot of good tea, and then open the window to enjoy the scenery in the courtyard.
It was autumn he was familiar with.
Even though he had to be displaced to Xuzhou because of the war, the name of Yingchuan Chen was still there, and this young man never fell into the clouds and suffered a little.
Whether it is Tao Qian, Liu Bei, or which prince will become the ruler in the futureβ‘β‘ Chen Qun, who has a clear stream and elegant prestige, will still not be buried in the crowd.
Therefore, this autumn, this situation, really embarrassed him.
His crown was crooked, his belt was nearly torn, his muslin was stained with mud, one sleeve was nearly torn, and one clog was missing.
But the untidy clothes were not a dilemma, and the homeless people who were still surrounding him were the biggest dilemma he was currently facing, so he had to take a step back and retreat behind the soldiers of Langya County.
The soldiers discharged their spears in unison, forcing the homeless people back a step, so the β‘β‘ was able to lean on the cart laden with grain and breathe a sigh of relief.
β¦β¦ They're crazy!
Each of them had an unusually large pair of eyes, which of course they might not have had at first, but the long journey had made them quickly lose weight, and the eagerness had made them struggling to widen their eyes, so that the bloodshot eyes were particularly large and cold.
Beneath the big eyes, there were two hands, black and thin, some like chicken feet, covered with calluses and tears, and mud between their fingernails, but still trying to reach out to him.
However, the two hands, and the arms attached to the back of them, could not reach the distance of the spears in any way, so they could only swing in vain, and keep waving.
Some of them wanted to grab the tip of the spear, but how could the soldiers tolerate it? The spear was violently retracted, raised high, and smashed down!
Then someone screamed and rolled to the ground.
More people knelt on the ground.
The ground was still muddy from the rain that had fallen last night, but those people didn't care at all.
"Lang Jun, please, please!" They cried out one after another, "Let's boil some more porridge?" β
"There are still a few children in the villain's house, and they haven't used water and rice for a few days!"
"I've given up the porridge!" Chen Qun was ruthless, but his voice was still a little hesitant and green, "Haven't you ever got!" β
"The villain still has his mother in the room, she is old and frail, and she can't go hungry, so Lang Jun's wheat porridge is dedicated to the mother's ......," the man begged, "but the villain's child ......."
"Lang Jun! He's a greedy man! There is only one bowl in a family, how can you ask for it again! Someone eagerly pushed the man back, "But we haven't had porridge yet!" β
"You ......," Chen Qun struggled to identify the faces, "where are your bamboo sticks?" β
"Bamboo ...... Bamboo? The eagerness on the man's face was replaced by grief and indignation, "Does Lang Jun really want to wait until the third day to give us a bowl of porridge?!" β
"Lang Jun! Behind you is food! Why can't you give us some food? β
"We are willing to do hard labor, to be a coolie, Lang Jun! Would you please give us some food and save us?! β
Another woman held the child, and was pushed to the front by others, and immediately knelt on the ground and began to cry, "Lang Jun, Lang Jun, save this child, the concubine is willing to sell this child to Lang Jun as a slave and a maid, begging Lang Jun to give her a mouthful of rice soup, okay?" Pimp! She is the first son of a concubine! β
Some people are crying, some are wailing, some people are babbling and complaining, these voices turned into a huge vortex, and Chen Qun was in the center of this vortex.
He knew why these people were surrounding him, why they were so begging and pleading.
He organized the displaced people on this section of the road to Yangdu according to their households, and each household was given a bamboo stick, and every three days, they could receive three liters of wheat porridge with the bamboo sticks.
This idea was thought up by Chen Qun, Zhuge Xuan agreed with it very much, and tried his best to extract some grain from the granary of Langya County, which was specially used to help these displaced people, which was equivalent to sending one liter of wheat porridge a day.
Sounds like a lot.
β¦β¦ But if the land hanging fish is here, it will correct the problem of "this rise is not the other rise" in his heart.
During the Han Dynasty, there was also a volume unit called "liter", but one liter was equivalent to about 200 milliliters today.
The whole family can only get 200 ml of porridge a day, which is absolutely unbearable.
So doing so only slows down, but doesn't really stop the death caused by starvation.
And the rate at which the food is still consumed is still very alarming, and he has to be careful and cook a few meters!
But the people do not see the "slowdown", only their parents, wives and children, who are slowly emaciating because of hunger until they have exhausted their last bit of vitality.
On the other hand, there is still a lot of food behind this Lang Jun! Big bags of grain!
"Lang Jun, if Liu Yuanjun is here, if so, if General Xiao Lu is here! How could she stand idly by? β
"If General Xiao Lu is here, she will definitely save this child! Pimp! β
"Lang Jun! Please save us! β
Chen Qun's lips trembled, looking at these many pairs of desperate eyes, feeling that something in his heart was pressing him hard.
It was about to crush him.
When Zang Yue came on horseback, he saw such a picture.
β¦β¦ The cold, tall, beautiful and always "don't play with you" family son with a face full of embarrassment is like a brocade chicken that has only rolled in the mud and has been plucked by a child.
β¦β¦ Considering what Brother said to him about General Xiao Lu, the little bit in Zang Yue's heart quickly turned into sympathy.
"Chen engaged!" He shouted, then spread his horse's hooves and charged!
The crowd exclaimed, and in embarrassment they parted a path for him, and at the end of the road, the disheveled young man did not even notice how undignified his appearance was, and he only raised his eyes in a hurry.
- Those dark eyes were full of pain, and it seemed like they were about to cry.
If someone else came to help him at this time...... There is no need to break the siege either...... At least standing by his side, You Heng thinks that he will be much calmer.
But there was no one around him, only the soldiers of Sencheng City watching him.
Those soldiers
There are very few people in Sencheng City anymore.
Except for the defenders of less than 1,000 people, only some people are here, and most of the rest of the people went to the vicinity of the drama city, or also followed south to Langya.
So he was able to sit on the loess walls and look at the northern plains.
Yuan Tan's army was getting closer.
His envoy sent a letter into the city, the content of the letter was very polite, to be precise, Yuan Tan did not want to fight with him at all, but only said meaningfully, if he was willing to sacrifice the Thousand Rides City, it would ensure that he would still be able to be reused under Yuan Tan in the future.
Of course, You Heng is an official in Qingzhou after all, if he doesn't want to follow the Yuan family, then you can also let him go and let him stay.
You Heng took this letter and thought about it for a long time.
"What will Yuan Tan do?"
Tian Yu once asked him to discuss with Kong Rong, Zhuge Xuan and others, and guessed Yuan Tan's purpose.
Yuan Tan naturally wants Qingzhou, but a Qingzhou with no people, what is he going to do?
No one cultivates, no one serves, the grass grows, and everything withers.
This is not Qingzhou, this is just a wasteland called "Qingzhou", Mo said that Yuan Tan didn't want such a Qingzhou, even if he wanted it, such a land with strong walls and clear wilderness, he couldn't even find a guide, couldn't find a people's husband, and couldn't find a grain of grain!
So in addition to attacking the drama city, Yuan Tan wanted to pursue the homeless team and stop them.
You Heng sat on the head of the Thousand Rides City, looking at the dark tents outside the city, thinking about such a simple but difficult question.
"He doesn't want to take a city." He muttered.
When a soldier heard it, the corners of his eyebrows and eyes were full of joy, "Do what you say true?" β
You Heng turned his head and glared at him, "He doesn't want to attack Qiancheng City, it's because he wants to take back those shishu!" Wouldn't there be any of you and my relatives among them?! β
The soldier was stunned for a moment, and then he was stunned.
"Engaged, how should I wait?!"
You Heng glanced at the cloud-like tent that stretched for miles.
"Be determined to die."
Even if You Heng has a will to die, it is still difficult to keep Yuan Tan.
