The sky was slightly bright, and the originally sunny weather gradually turned overcast, followed by a goose-feather snow.

As the snow grows heavier, so does the howling wind.

Qin Yu set off with the people as soon as dawn, and came to the gate of Cangxian County half an hour later.

Looking at the city wall of Cangxian County, everyone's faces were very ugly.

On the top of this city wall, there is even a corner of the collapse, and there are cracks on the city wall that are the width of thumbs, and it looks like they can collapse at any time.

There was a big hole in the top of the gate, but it could still be closed.

There were no soldiers guarding the gates, and no one came in or out of them.

Even when Qin Yu arrived with a few hundred people, no one noticed.

"My lord, this Cangxian is even worse than I imagined." Lao Huang said with a bitter face.

"Then we'll do our best to make him the best he can be." Qin Yu said, taking the lead and walking towards the city.

The scenery inside the city is very depressed, some of the houses on the main street are dilapidated, and pedestrians are unusually sparse.

The few pedestrians scattered were also in rags, not knowing what to look for in the snow.

But when these people saw Qin Yu and their team, they ran away one by one in a panic.

"My lord, I'm going to get someone back and ask what's going on!" Lao Huang said that he was going to arrest someone.

Qin Yu grabbed Lao Huang, "Let's take a look first." ”

Along the way, Qin Yu and the others saw a lot of corpses frozen in the snow, including old people, children, and middle-aged people.

These people were scrawny and pale, and it was not important whether they had starved to death or froze to death.

Suddenly, a yellow-skinned child in a tattered shirt ran out of an alley.

crashed into Qin Yu's arms, if Qin Yu hadn't grabbed the child, the child would have to plunge back into the snow.

"Little one, are you alright?" Qin Yu asked while holding the child.

But after the child saw Qin Yu clearly, he cried out.

A woman with the same yellow face and thin muscles and tattered clothes ran out of the alley, hugged the child, and then knelt in front of Qin Yu.

"Adults forgive sins, adults forgive sins, children collide with adults, and please forgive adults!" The woman held the child and kept kowtowing to Qin Yu.

Qin Yu hurriedly grabbed the woman, "Eldest sister, don't be like this, you get up first." ”

The woman was obviously stunned and looked at Qin Yu in a daze.

Qin Yu squatted in front of the woman and the child, took out two steamed buns and handed them to the two of them.

The woman looked at Qin Yu suspiciously, but the child was hungry, so she snatched the steamed bun and ate it in a big gulp.

The woman was a little hesitant, and after looking at Qin Yu a few times, she carefully took the steamed bun.

"Eldest sister, I am Qin Yu, the newly appointed county lieutenant of Cangxian County, may I ask what happened in the city, why are there so many corpses on the street?" Qin Yu asked.

The woman took a bite of the steamed bun, and after hearing Qin Yu's inquiry, she burst into tears.

Qin Yu stretched out his hand and tore off the coat on his body and draped it on the women and children.

After taking the woman and the child to the side of the road, the woman told Qin Yu about the situation here.

It turns out that everything in the city is no longer controlled by the government, but by the Cangxian army.

The last county commander was killed by the Cangxian army.

And the current county order came to Cangxian three months ago, but it is powerless to change the situation in Cangxian.

The county order of Cangxian County now only has the right to ask the imperial court for materials, and there is no other right at all.

In Cangxian County under the rule of the Cangxian Army, it is difficult for the people to have food and clothing, and after the cold winter comes, I don't know how many people died of starvation and cold.

Sometimes, the Cangxian army will even make fun of ordinary people, and do not care about the life and death of the people.

The Cangxian army also colluded with the bandits outside, making it extremely difficult for the people of Cangxian to escape from Cangxian.

And those cottages outside the city, in fact, many of them are forced to be helpless, and the grass on the mountain is a coward.

"My lord, this Cangxian army seems to be much more troublesome than the bandits outside the city." Gongsun Qi frowned.

"My lord, let's take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness to kill the past and exterminate this so-called Cangxian army!" Lao Huang said angrily.

Qin Yu didn't wrinkle and didn't let go, and asked, "Eldest sister, is there still an army defending the city in the city?" ”

"After the previous county lieutenant was killed, the troops defending the city have all defected to the Cangxian army." The woman said with a gloomy look in her eyes.

In the woman's opinion, this new county lieutenant may not be able to help the Nacang County Army, and will only lose his life in vain.

"My lord, I can see that you are a good official, so don't offend the Cangxian army, otherwise you will be in danger!" The woman persuaded Qin Yu.

Qin Yu took a deep breath and comforted the woman softly.

"My lord, what now?" The killing intent in Gongsun Qi's eyes was difficult to hide.

Qin Yu thought for a while, looked at the snow falling from the sky, and said, "We must deal with this Cangxian army as soon as possible, otherwise many people will not be able to survive this winter." ”

"My lord, give the order, Lao Huang, I promise to rush first!" Lao Huang said and drew his sword.

"What's the hurry!" Gongsun Qi really couldn't stand Lao Huang anymore, so he scolded.

"Stinky boy! I'm your uncle! Nothing big or small! Lao Huang slapped him.

"Table!" Gongsun Qi covered his head and glared at Lao Huang.

"Stop making a fuss." Qin Yu looked at Gongsun Qi, "What do you think?" ”

Gongsun Qi thought for a while and replied: "This Cangxian army has a huge force in Cangxian County, and it is very deep-rooted, if we want to make a move, we must get rid of it at once, if they have a chance to fight back, we will be very passive." ”

"And we must do it as soon as possible, we can't let the Cangxian army be prepared and kill them by surprise!" Gongsun Qi added.

"That's exactly what I want, and I already have a plan." The killing intent in Qin Yu's eyes flashed away.

Qin Yu gave the woman another steamed bun, and after retrieving the coat, he let the woman leave.

It's not that Qin Yu is reluctant to give up the military coat on his body, nor is he reluctant to give up steamed buns, after all, these two things are infinite in Qin Yu.

The main thing is that after giving these good things to the woman, it will only harm the woman and the child, and the woman will not be able to keep these things.

"Let's go, go to the county office."

"My lord, what are you going to do in the county office, isn't the county order all right?" Lao Huang asked puzzled.

"Don't you see that the people are dying of hunger? Of course, it's to distribute food! Qin Yu pointed at Gongsun Qi and said: "You immediately take people all over the city and tell the people of the city that the county governor of Cangxian County will distribute grain in the county office!" ”

"No!"

Gongsun Qi comprehended and directly took away more than 300 people, leaving only more than 20 people for Qin Yu.

Qin Yu took Lao Huang and a few people, pulled more than a dozen carriages, and swaggered towards the county office.

In order to publicize it, Qin Yu even threw Lao Huang a piece of ham and let Lao Huang sit in the carriage and eat meat, looking like a landlord and old wealth.

Being able to eat meat, Lao Huang is also very happy, and behaves very much like an old rich man.
