Xinye, government office.
"Report! Your Highness! Military Advisor!"
"From the direction of Wanluo, there are estimated to be more than 50,000 people!"
The messenger was panting, and before he finished speaking, he saw Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun looking nervous.
"Cao Pi is so powerful that he can gather such a large army in such a short time?"
Guan Yu caressed his beautiful beard gently, but he could still feel the second master's nervousness in his anxious expression.
After all, the Xinye soldiers and civilians are now recovering from serious illnesses. It is not a wise move to welcome war at this time.
"You bastard! Cao Pi, the turtle grandson, knows how to chew on his elders. Isn't it just because his family is big and his business is big?"
"That was all because of his father, Cao Pi! Unlike my eldest nephew, who started from scratch and never relied on his father!"
"Forget it! My eldest brother is good at everything, but he is unreliable!"
Zhang Fei recalled his eldest brother and could only be angry at him for not arguing. Why can't he become a rich generation?
Now it is so difficult for my eldest nephew to do this!
"Second brother, third brother! This is not the time to be dejected."
"With the combined strength of you and me, we only need three thousand elite soldiers. How can we be afraid of Cao Cao's army of millions?"
"Yun is willing to be the vanguard, and the two elder brothers can take the rear!"
Zhao Yun has never been afraid of war, especially someone like Cao Pi who takes advantage of the situation and takes advantage of the situation, so he should fight head-on!
"Zilong, how could Guan be afraid of Cao Pi and his like?"
"Even if I am reborn, Guan will kill him with one strike!"
Guan Yu caressed his beautiful beard, his fighting spirit was in full swing.
"Second brother! Zilong! Let me, Lao Zhang, poke 3,615 holes in him first!"
Zhang Fei laughed loudly, finally able to fight again!
After all, the last time we fought Soochow, it was a water battle, and Zhang Fei had no room to perform.
"Ahem! Don't panic, three generals, my subordinates haven't finished speaking yet!"
"The people coming this time are not Wei soldiers, but a group of refugees!"
"Among them are not only our Central Plains people, but also some foreign races...such as Xianbei, Xiongnu and others!"
The messenger hurriedly spoke out, fearing that the three generals would rush into battle and kill innocent people indiscriminately.
"Child Cao Pi! This is deliberately causing trouble for my big man!"
Pang Tong cursed angrily: "He must have felt that His Highness was kind-hearted, so he sent those sick people to Jingzhou in order to drag down our army!"
"Your Highness, you must not have any compassion anymore! Just take in the people of the Central Plains, but you must not keep those aliens!"
"Otherwise, we in Jingzhou would already be short of food...accommodating so many people, we would sooner or later run out of food and ammunition!"
Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun also nodded repeatedly.
As Liu Bei's close ministers, they are by no means the kind of hard-hearted people.
It’s just that food is tight now, and we must not give food to foreigners in vain.
Non-my family, its heart must be different.
The three of them all think so. After all, they are deep in the land of Yanzhao, but they have been dealing with these foreign races all year round.
Neither party had a good impression.
"Sir, what if these people are healthy?"
"Just ask more than 50,000 people, all of them go to Jiaozhou to cultivate farmland."
“Plus there are men and women, this is all labor force!”
"By the way, as for the alien races mentioned by the three uncles, just throw them into Liangzhou!"
"The Qiang and Di tribes will surely teach them how to lay down their swords and horses, become good at fighting, and become good at singing and dancing."
Liu Mang waved his hand and said with a smile: "Come, follow me personally to maintain order and take these refugees into the city!"
…
It is more than fifty miles outside Xinye City.
Although there are 30,000 Han people and more than 20,000 Hu people, the Han people are obviously the ones being bullied.
Once many Hu people see food in the hands of Han people, they will not hesitate to grab it.
Anyone who resisted would be beaten and kicked.
Nowadays, there is no distinction between Hu and Han. Everyone is a refugee and a person abandoned by Cao Wei.
Confusion was written in everyone's eyes. They didn't know what was waiting for them in Jingzhou.
"It's over... We are all citizens of the Wei Dynasty, but we are going to be sent to Shu!"
"Sigh... The Shu Kingdom successively conquered Jingzhou, Chang'an and other places, but also lost troops and generals. It has long hated me, the Wei Dynasty!"
"Great Wei? Are we still considered Wei people? We have been abandoned by Cao Pi long ago!"
"Damn it! Even the barbarians are bullying us, just because we haven't eaten for a few days. Those naughty barbarians even threaten the old, weak, women and children!"
Several young Han men were talking quietly. They were walking on the outermost edge of the team and could serve as cannon fodder if there was any trouble.
Fortunately, the more than 50,000 people crossing the border seemed to be easy to deal with. There were no thieves or bandits on the way to block the way.
Among the team, the Hu people were at the center.
The old, weak, women and children were strictly guarded by them. In terms of combat effectiveness, the Han people in the team would never lose to them.
However, the family members were kidnapped by them as a threat, and they could only live a life of starvation.
"I heard that the great Han Emperor Liu Bei likes to pretend to be a benevolent and righteous gentleman."
"Let's use these women and children as threats to make them open the city gate!"
"Maybe we can even occupy a city and rule the Central Plains from now on."
The Huns conspired with the Xianbei people. Anyway, they must be unscrupulous in the Central Plains now, and they even have sweet dreams.
Even if they suffer from smallpox, the nomadic people who mainly eat meat and have better physical fitness have a much higher chance of recovery than the Han people.
But they didn't expect that five hundred riders from Xinye City were running towards them.
"That's just a few people! Tell the boys, the opportunity has come!"
"Seize the horses and weapons, and let's kill them directly and seize the city!"
"If there is a powerful official among them, use him as a threat!"
Several Hu leaders quickly ordered the young and strong Han people on the periphery of the team to cooperate.
"Are we really... going to frame our fellow tribesmen together with those barbarians?"
"Sigh... I guess these people are here to drive us away!"
"Since they are unkind, don't blame us for being unjust. Anyway, we are all trying to survive!"
Although the Han people couldn't bear it, they could only do this thing against their will in order to survive.
Liu Mang originally wanted to lead dozens of people, but Zhao Yun was not at all reassured.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also came, but Liu Mang couldn't defeat the three of them, so he had to bring 500 people over symbolically.
The five hundred sudden generals are now the new white horse loyal followers.
Liu Mang believes that as long as the other party is not stupid, he will not fight against Baima Yicong.
After all, the current Baima Yicong is really handsome and capable of fighting.
If you can directly confront the tiger and leopard cavalry, who else in the world can do it except the Xiliang cavalry?
"May I ask, Master, what is the purpose of coming here?"
"Are you going to drive us away?"
"Huh! He's dressed like a dog, and he's not a good person at first glance!"
"I've been walking for half a month...I'm so tired!"
When the Han people came up to ask, they thought that the young master in brocade clothes would scold him harshly, but unexpectedly, he was as gentle as jade, and his calm smile was as refreshing as spring breeze.
"Everyone, my Excellency, Prince Liu Mang of the Han Dynasty, is here to welcome you to Xinye for your temporary stay."
"If you are sick, just let us know in advance and I will arrange for your food, accommodation and treatment outside the city."
"By the way, I have already placed the recovered ones among the 30,000 people sent by Cao Pi. I believe they will be able to live and work in peace and contentment."
What? Since you want to settle them?
The Han people in the team were a little anxious. Such a benevolent master must not be framed by barbarians!
