Chapter Thirty-Eight: Human Hope
"There is, there is a way to break the game~"
Seeing that Huo Yi's expression changed in an instant, his face suddenly showed joy, and he danced and shouted, this move made Hawking on the side look extremely suspicious.
What's wrong with my brother?
"What's wrong with Ah Yi?"
Hearing this, Huo Yi next to him laughed heartily and said excitedly: "Brother, go quickly, go with my brother to meet the villagers and elders." ”
"Huh?"
As soon as the words fell, Hawking was stunned, but seeing that he left quickly as soon as he finished speaking, he could only follow with suspicion.
The group came to the temporary settlement of migrants in the west of Gangneung City.
Huo Yi looked at it and saw that most of the people were in rags, supporting the old and the young, curled up with their children and daughters, and their faces seemed to be floating with sadness and a little panic.
"General Huo is here, the general is here, wake up~"
As Huo Yiben walked over, the clan brother Hawking next to him shouted loudly, and his voice was quite loud.
To the west of the Nanzhang River, because the Zhijiang River is located in the plain and is surrounded by various water systems such as Nanzhang Water and Yishui, Zhijiang City is the most densely populated and economically rich on this land.
Most of the people who migrated over this time were Zhijiang people, and the Huo family was originally a wealthy family in Zhijiang, and Huo Du, who recruited villagers and was promoted by Liu Biao as Sima of other departments.
With hundreds of troops, he held on to Jiameng and broke more than 10,000 enemies, so he was highly regarded by Liu Bei, the king of Hanzhong.
There are also now, with a small number of troops and defenders, but skillfully using the power of Cao's soldiers and prisoners of war, to defeat the attacking Wu army several times.
Today's Huo family has almost become the pride of the people of Zhijiang.
I heard Hawking's loud shout, which resounded all around.
A group of people, young and old, looked over together.
Who is Huo Yi, the leader of the twenty-year youth?
"Grass people see General Huo~"
"See General Huo."
In the next second, I saw that the surrounding people suddenly knelt on the ground and worshipped respectfully.
Seeing this, Huo Yi immediately walked up to a crowd and helped a sixty-year-old man up with both hands, and his face changed greatly:
"Guys, what are you doing here?"
"I'm just a junior in Zhijiang, can An bear such a big gift from the villagers?"
"This time I didn't protect the land of Jingzhou, but let Wu thieves attack my hometown and kill the villagers."
"This is Yi's sin!"
After saying that, Huo Yi took a few steps back, bowed deeply to the people with a solemn face, and bowed heavily to apologize.
"Huh? General Huo, what is this doing? ”
"If you don't migrate this time, I will wait for temporary refuge on the east bank of Zhangshui, I'm afraid that the trapped Wu thieves will still set up troops to loot the villagers."
"The previous Wu thieves broke into Zhijiang and wantonly killed, killed our people, robbed us of money, food, clothes, etc., but they did not let go of anything valuable."
"Even... Even in my township, there are many young and beautiful women who have been defiled by the Wu people. ”
"It's... The old man has been a villager for many years, but he has not been able to protect the villagers, this is my fault~"
The old man, who had just been helped up by Huo Yi, stood up with a sad look on his face at this time, and loudly denounced the Wu people for their cruelty.
As soon as he spoke, he mobilized the anger of a group of villagers and people, and they rebuked angrily.
He has an extraordinary bearing, and he is like two people who are rickets of Fang Cai.
Huo Yi nodded secretly, sighing in his heart that he was worthy of being a village official.
This ability to mobilize emotions is worthy of being done at the grassroots level for a long time.
Seeing that he hadn't spoken yet, he saw that the anger of the people had been aroused, and Huo Yi also treated the villager in his sixties in front of him a little more differently.
But that's good, and it also saves a lot of tongues.
Huo Yi walked to the side of the villager at this time, and he could faintly see that there was anger burning on his face, as if it had been brewing for a long time, and said sharply to the people:
"Brother, can General Wu, who ordered the slaughter before, listen clearly?"
When these words fell, although Hawking on one side looked dazed, he still replied truthfully:
"General Qiyu Huo has found out that it is Jiangdong Sun Quan's favorite general Pan Zhang, who has always regarded the people as grass mustard, and there are many massacres."
"Pan Wentai? Good~"
Huo Yi's tone was solemn, and he shouted loudly, "Huo's sons, remember with Ben General, if anyone can capture Pan Zhang or take his head in the next battle, Ben will definitely be rewarded!" ”
"Obey General Huo's order, swear to kill Pan Zhang, and avenge the villagers~"
"Revenge, revenge~"
When the order was passed, all the Huo family troops on the left and right shouted loudly.
In the tone, there was not only the excitement and excitement of the heavy reward, but also the righteous indignation, and the hatred of the Wu people.
Zhijiang is also their hometown, seeing their father and fellow villagers being brutalized, how can the iron-clad man not be angry?
This military order was spit out loudly, not only did the Huo clan hear it, but all the soldiers and people also showed reverence when they heard it, and they bowed in unison:
"General Huo is our hero of Zhijiang, and a general will be able to protect our safety."
"A mere thief will be defeated by General Huo."
"The culprit of the previous blood feud, the grass people also believe that General Huo can avenge our hatred and behead the enemy."
Looking at the pious eyes of all the villagers, they all hugged Huo Yi, and when the sixty-year-old villager on one side saw this, he immediately looked at Huo Yi on the side with admiration in his eyes, and said secretly:
"I didn't expect Huo Shaoxian to be young, but his mind was quite thoughtful."
"As soon as I aroused the indignation of the villagers, he reacted quickly and caught it, and the follow-up prospects are bright and limitless!"
I secretly admired it in my heart.
He has been selected as a village man for many years, and he naturally has some knowledge.
Since Huo Yi had just annihilated the Wu army and marched westward, he came to visit the migrants, and he vaguely noticed that things were not so simple, and he must have some plans.
Under speculation, he quietly mobilized the emotions of the people with the help of ordinary prestige.
Looking at the reaction of the people, Huo Yi was silent on the surface, but he was quite satisfied under the face, and the people's hearts were available!
"You folks don't have to be like this~"
"Speaking of which, this general is also from Zhijiang, there is a way to raise a person with water and soil, and I have not done my best to protect my father and fellow villagers this time, and my responsibility is not small."
"I will not let you repeat the same mistakes in the future."
After a long groan, Huo Yi's face was serious, patted his chest to reassure, and then said sideways, "Brother, you and the townsman worked together to help the people settle down and take refuge in Jiangling City. ”
"喏~"
When Hawking heard the news, he quickly surrendered his hand and said.
After the order, Huo Yi looked at everyone with a smile again, and solemnly promised:
"Folks, due to the undecided situation of this war, the Wu thieves are still stationed on the riverside and are eyeing my Jingzhou land, so I hope you can understand and take refuge in Jiangling City first."
"After repelling the Wu people, how about we go back to our hometown together to rebuild our homeland?"
"General Huo thinks about the grass people, and we are grateful!"
"Everything but General Huo is in charge~"
With Huo Yi's operation and several successive times, Lu Meng's prestige has gradually spread to Jingzhou, which makes the people who are also local people also show trust.
"Township Qiangfu, I heard that the Zhijiang Order was brutally killed because he swore not to surrender when the Wu people attacked before, and now the post of county commander is vacant, and you will temporarily take the post of county commander to assist our army to settle Li Shu."
"If you make meritorious deeds, how about this general to General Guan after the war to promote you as Zhijiang Ling?"
After appeasing the people, Huo Yi walked quickly to the old man's side and said in a deep voice.
"I am determined to live up to General Huo's disappointment~"
Although the villager knew that Huo Yi was painting a big cake for him, this was indeed a great opportunity to be promoted to the county commander, so he decisively agreed.
Because he also knew very well that this was obviously Fang Cai's own actions, which made Huo Yi pay attention to it, and this was to take the opportunity to examine his talents.
Immediately, a group of disheveled people slowly streamed into Gangneung City.
With Huo Yi's promise, the old villager is now full of energy.
Along the way, under his constant encouragement, the young men who had admired Huo Yi spontaneously organized and were willing to help the army defend the city or attack and expel the Wu people.
On the city wall, looking at the faces of all the young people with willing expressions, Hawking, who gradually understood Huo Yi's intentions, gave a thumbs up on one side and admired:
"Ah Yi, you kid still have a lot of ideas~"
"The villagers have spontaneously organized for the villagers to assist us in defending the city, and now our strength to defend the city is more sufficient."
"Damn Wu Gou, don't want to break the city!"
Unexpectedly, Huo Yi on the side was full of joy and smiled without saying a word.
