The Son of Heaven is now a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, seven years ago, how old was he?

He had no father, no mother, and no one to rely on.

Lu Bu fled, Wang Yun died, and the ministers either curry favor with Li Dao and Guo Yan, or were dragged out of the body to be in a different place.

Even the old and fat, fierce and arrogant Dong Zhuo is gone-he is the one who pushed this child to the jade throne!

The young Son of Heaven was also left in the blazing Chang'an City, not knowing if he could live, how many days he could live, and if he had to die, what kind of death should he be.

"I can only wait," he smiled softly, "wait for Li Guo and the two thieves to decide the outcome of my life and death." ”

"Your Majesty......"

"But after all, there are still many people around me who are honest and virtuous, and they escort me all the way back to Luoyang," the voice of the Son of Heaven was extremely calm, "but the hundreds of thousands of people in Guanzhong have no one to shelter, and in a few years, they have eaten each other. ”

She couldn't go on.

"It's my fault." The Son of Heaven said.

"Your Majesty was only eleven years old at that time," she said dryly, "no one will resent Your Majesty for this, and Your Majesty does not have to take the matter of Chang'an to heart." ”

The Son of Heaven seemed to laugh, but maybe she was mistaken.

"Will you forget?"

Lu Hangyu was stunned for a moment.

"No, it won't."

"I won't," he said, "because I treat Lu Qing differently than others. ”

“…… Your Majesty? ”

The young man looked at her and showed a sincere, heartfelt smile, "Yuan Shao is powerful, it is not easy to defend Dongjun, if there is any difficulty, I may be able to help one or two, be sure to inform me." ”

There was a strange light in his eyes, and she didn't need to say anything more for she suddenly understood what he meant.

Chapter 381

Towards noon, the sun seemed to be smaller, but the light was more intense.

Without the care of the farmers and the rain and dew, the seedlings have long since died in the fields, leaving only weeds.

However, there was no shelter from the trees, and even the weeds gradually wilted, and they couldn't raise their heads.

As the team slowly approached from afar, all they saw was a bare wasteland with no villages, no trees, no farmland, no birds, beasts, and no people.

Occasionally, there is a ruin, and someone hastened into it with hope, and then he will come out with a disappointed face

But this is not surprising - this is the norm of war.

The entire Dongjun was plunged into war because of the stubborn thoughts of the county guard Zang Hong, some of the cities succumbed to Yuan Shao's deterrence, and some of them strongly showed the attitude of following Zang Envoy, but Fan Cheng was especially different, its commander used his life to declare the righteousness and backbone of Hanchen to the world.

But after all, the news travels very slowly, especially for ordinary people, even more slowly.

Therefore, when Xun Chen entered the city and established a camp at the ferry, it was still possible for the people who had slowly evacuated the eastern county due to war or drought to come to Cangtingjin.

Some of them migrated to Jizhou, where it should be safe, regardless of the grievances between Yuan Gong and Zang Yuanjun, he had so many soldiers and horses, he could always keep Jizhou safe;

But some people also expressed different opinions, there are too many people in Jizhou, there are not so many good land, it is better to go to Yanzhou, Yanzhou has just experienced a war, and it is so close, there should be a lot of good land to rent, right?

There are also people who think it's not bad to go to Qingzhou, doesn't it say that General Xiaolu can thunder? Qingzhou shouldn't be dry, right?

They muttered like this, except for the part of their relatives and friends who had a clear attitude of running in one direction to take refuge, the rest were holding the attitude of giving it a try, trying to walk in all directions, trying their luck, and then changing directions when they hit a wall.

It was not surprising that this was the case with the homeless, so Fan Cheng increased the number of scouts who went out of the city every day to patrol and drive back those who wanted to cross the river.

They are precious raw mouths, even if they can't stay in Dongjun anymore, they should go north to Jizhou.

The team was discovered by scouts about ten miles from the city.

There were a few carts, more carts, two or three old women, four or five old men.

There are also children, but there are very few, less than ten.

This actually seems a little strange, because there are more than 100 people in this team, and the rest are almost all women.

Therefore, when the scout stepped forward to stop him, he couldn't help but ask.

"The villain was originally from Puyang," said the old man, "and now that the city gate has been opened, the villain and his neighbors want to go east and find a ......."

"It doesn't matter where you are," said the scout, "why are there all women and children?" ”

When the old man heard this, his eyes turned red, and he wiped his tears with his sleeve.

"The nobles don't know that after the Son of Heaven came to Puyang, all the strong men in the city stayed behind and were sent to labor."

"More than that! Boys over the age of fourteen should stay, too! ”

"My grandson, fortunately he is young......"

"Well," asked the scout, "how come there are so few young children?" ”

There was silence in the ranks.

After a while, a little woman stepped forward.

"Puyang City has been besieged for more than half a year, and I can't support those children."

"Can't feed?" The young scout scoffed, "What does this have to do with the siege?" ”

A fellow cavalryman came over, and when he heard this, he scolded him: "Fool! ”

The little woman bowed her head and did not look at them.

But the questioning cavalryman suddenly understood.

There were no young men in this team because they needed to stay as people's husbands.

There are no children because they have either died of hunger or have already been eaten.

When he hesitated like this, one of the scouts could no longer bear it, and dismounted and began to pick and choose in the group.

These are all a group of women, from their teens to their forties and fifties, although they are all dressed in jinghai cloth, and their faces look haggard and tired because of the hurry, but there are indeed a few beauties among them.

Especially when women come to such a situation, whether they are from good families or not, they have to endure embarrassment and treat them with a pleasant face, which doubly satisfies the thoughts of these cavalrymen.

The woman at the head looked at her early thirties, swarthy and stout, but spoke very carefully, and guessed their expressions, and followed beside her, and spoke:

"A few nobles...... The women heard that the thieves were haunted, and they were also worried when they were on the road, but they didn't know where to rest. ”

Of course, not in terms of rules.

Xun Chen cleared the wilderness, cut down trees, and burned down villages, not only to isolate the inside and outside of Fancheng, but also to clear out dozens of miles of no-man's land, as long as it was within the scope of scout patrols, no civilians were allowed to stay.

- Because according to the words of the suspicious Xiao Xun envoy, who knows whether it is a civilian or a thief?

But these people are not men, just by looking at the waist and shoulders, you know that they are real women.

…… And several of the little women were born so standardly.

A few of the scouts muttered and agreed to take the group a little further forward until they stopped five miles from the city.

When they were about to reach the foot of Fan City, a girl who did not look very old, only fifteen or sixteen years old, dared to come up.

"My mother is so thirsty that she doesn't know where she can get water?"

"Wells?" The scout team roared out loud, "You stupid woman, there are thieves across the river here, how can I leave you a well outside the city!" It's already filled in! ”

When the girl heard this, she raised her face and glared at him angrily.

That glance should have made the team angry and even whipped her fiercely, but she was born beautiful and beautiful, and her lips should have been as fresh and full as a flower, but now they were dry and cracked, like a withered field.

If you are thirsty like this, you should indeed be anxious.

What's more, when she glared at him, she also carried a grievance, as if she was coquettish, a look ironed on his heart, and immediately wiped out that bit of anger.

It didn't take long for the team to make another decision.

"There is a well in the city." He said.

"The concubine can't enter the city again," she seemed to cry, "the general teases the concubine." ”

"Would you like to go into the city and fetch water?" His gaze wandered back and forth between her neck, shoulders, and waist, and a group of scouts behind her let out a tacit laugh.

The girl didn't seem to realize it at all, but just opened her eyes wide:

"Really, General?"

"I can't do anything to get all of you into the city, but you must have had jugs of water in your cart, and in a moment a dozen powerful women will rush into the city with us to fetch water," the bearded man paused, and then changed his words, "Twenty, and a few more to go into the city...... Well, just go into town! ”

The ridicule between him and the girl did not alert the defenders of the city, and even saw this team of more than 100 displaced people coming to a stop not far outside the city, and a few petty officers hurriedly ran to ask their superiors if they could also go out of the city to pick a few women to enter the city.

They are not alert, and for a simple reason.

On the other side of the river there was a "camp of healthy women", they had heard of, but it was not uncommon for women to accompany the army, doing some light or heavy work, and occasionally taking on some combat duties when they were forced to do so.

But the siege of the city is the most arduous of all the combat missions, and no one in the world will give such a task to a woman.

Moreover, the heavy troops are indeed in Cangtingjin, but Cangtingjin is only a few miles away from here, there are thousands of defenders in the city, and the wall near Fancheng has been cleared, as far as the eye can see, there is no obstruction within the scope of the eye, only a wasteland, and the ambush soldiers have nowhere to hide.

What's the point of letting a few delicate little women into the city? If there had been a shortage of men in the city, they would have gone out to plunder.

When they thought so easily, so pleasantly, and felt hot and cold because of some fantasies, the gates of the city gradually opened.

The scouts were in front, the women were pushing the carts behind, and there were more than a dozen defenders on both sides of the city gate smiling and grinning, and just a hundred paces away, the women who were supposed to stop at five, three, and outside the city somehow poured in!

"Stupid woman! Stupid woman! Can't get so many people! Sima of the city gate came over with a woman in his arms, and when he saw this scene, he immediately scolded, "Drive them out!" Get out! ”

But when the tall, dark-skinned woman at the head heard his words, she didn't see the servile face she had just now, and she no longer had such a careful smile on her face.

She took out two halberds from the cart beside her, turned around and kicked away the defender in front of her, and threw one out with a loud shout!

The halberd came quickly and ruthlessly, and it pierced into Sima's chest without warning!

When the defenders of the city hurriedly lit a pile of dry firewood, and then threw bundles of dry firewood into the bucket, and threw it into the fire after getting wet, and the thick and straight wolf smoke rose, Zang Ba on the shore also saw the billowing smoke.

He changed into his uniform, and his soldiers carried dirt bags.

"Do you see that wolf smoke?!" The burly man picked up his halberd, "That's the first place in the women's camp!" ”

He stared at the soldiers fiercely, and when he saw their faces full of horror, Zang Ba yelled again, "Wouldn't you be as good as a woman!" ”
