Xu Yi nodded slightly, and then looked outside the city again.
Pingyi Bo Yang Xian'an, strictly speaking, has some connection with Xu Yi.
The two had an experience of being each other's playmates when they were young.
Of course, they say they are playmates, but in fact Yang Xianan, who is a few years older, is taking care of Xu Yi everywhere.
Yang Xian'an's father, Yang Zhi, has been taking orders under Xu Yi's uncle Zhao Qing since the fifth year of Zhengde.
He is also one of Zhao Qing's most trusted generals with foreign surnames.
In the fifteenth year of Zhengde's reign, the Huns frequently knocked on the gates.
General Zhao Qing was ordered to lead an army to attack the Huns.
In the winter of this year, the largest battle in history broke out between the Zhou Dynasty and the Huns in Mobei.
Historically known as the decisive battle in Mobei.
The war lasted throughout the winter.
It was not until January of the following year that the Zhou Dynasty won the final victory with a slight advantage.
After the battle, General Zhao Qing and the ninety-six sons of the Zhao family were all shrouded in horse leather.
As one of Zhao Qing's most trusted generals with foreign surnames, Yang Zhi naturally did not survive the disaster.
In February of the following year, the carriage escorting the souls of the fallen heroes arrived in Chang'an City.
Emperor Zhengde conferred the honorary title of Hero Protector outside the city of Chang'an.
Yang Xian'an's father, Yang Zhi, was also promoted from Pingyi County Boy to Pingyi Bo.
Because Yang Zhi died in battle, the title of Pingyi Bo was naturally inherited by his eldest son Yang Xian'an.
Xu Yi stared at the continuous flood of victims outside the city.
For a while, he was silent for a long time.
But that palm silently grasped the handle of the Zhanyuan Sword.
"General Rong."
Xu Yi turned around and looked at Rong Pingchuan and asked again: "How much porridge did Uncle Pingyi put in today?"
Rong Pingchuan did not dare to hide it and replied hastily: "Sir, there are probably more than 10,000 people."
There were more than 100,000 disaster victims, but only food rations for more than 10,000 people were provided.
This can no longer be described in many words.
If true, this is simply unconscionable.
"good."
"very good."
Xu Yi said hello twice, and then spoke again: "Find a place to let us out of the city."
The deal is already done, and no matter how angry you are, you won't be able to solve the problem.
"Out... out of the city?" Rong Pingchuan said in disbelief.
Outside the city are not just disaster victims, but also countless filth.
And those filth are often the most likely to breed illness.
Even if they are providing disaster relief on weekdays, those trading companies only hire people and send servants there.
"Yes, leave the city."
Xu Yi nodded and affirmed.
Without leaving the city, he would never be able to truly understand the situation, so he had to take this risk.
"Do you have to leave the city, sir?"
An unnatural look flashed across Rong Pingchuan's face, as if Xu Yi's request made him particularly embarrassed.
"How can we understand the situation of the victims on the ground without leaving the city?"
"How can we provide disaster relief without leaving the city?"
Xu Yi looked at Rong Pingchuan with more determination.
"Since you must leave the city, my subordinates can't stop you."
"But please also bring two hundred soldiers with you, just in case something unexpected happens."
Seeing that he could not stop him, Rong Pingchuan sighed deeply, then waved his hand and ordered his lieutenant to go forward and recruit two hundred elite soldiers.
People who are about to starve to death are either so numb that they cannot breathe.
Or so crazy that the world is horrified.
After guarding Xuanpingmen for so long, Rong Pingchuan saw too many victims and too many different things.
There are even some people who madly attack soldiers and trading houses.
What impressed me most was that a boy who was giving soup at a certain business left the team alone because of severe stomach pain.
When the man was found again, only half of him was left.
After a while, Rong Pingchuan's deputy came over with a strong man.
Rong Pingchuan extended his hand and introduced: "Sir, this person's name is Gu Dengyun, and he is one of the most elite hundred households under the general's command."
The military system of the Zhou Dynasty consisted of five men, and the leader was called the commander of the corps.
What are the two groups? The leader is called the leader.
The five are called the tun, and the leader is called the tun chief.
The two villages are called Bo, and the leader is called Bo Chang.
At the level of Bo, if there are more than a hundred troops but less than five hundred, there is another name, that is, Baihu.
Xu Yi nodded slightly and then walked down the city gate.
Two hundred fully armed soldiers stood impressively under the city gate.
From the momentum of these soldiers, it is not difficult to see that these soldiers are all elites in the army.
This shows how afraid Rong Pingchuan was that Xu Yi would die outside the Xuanping Gate where he was guarding.
"Set off!"
Xu Yi looked around, nodded slightly in his heart, and then waved his hand.
With the support of two hundred elite soldiers, he walked to the city gate.
Dozens of gatekeepers were already waiting.
Seeing everyone arriving, he used the stirring rope to slowly open the heavy city gate.
After a while, everyone walked out of the city gate.
As soon as we reached the moat, the tall suspension bridge slowly lowered.
As the suspension bridge slowly lowered, the dark victims in the distance began to move slowly.
The distance was too far and Xu Yi couldn't see their faces clearly.
But the slowly moving body looked very much like those zombie movies that Xu Yi watched in later generations.
The movements of the victims at this time were not much different from the zombies in the movie.
At the same time, on the top of the city wall, the suspension bridge was slowly lowered.
Countless soldiers looked serious as if they were facing a powerful enemy.
The bow and arrow on his back were already in hand.
He bent his bow and nocked an arrow, aiming clearly at the people at the end of the suspension bridge.
If it were just like that, it would be on some concave horse surfaces of the city wall.
A series of simple and heavy bed crossbows were placed early.
At this time, those bed crossbows had prepared thick and long crossbow arrows early.
Those crossbow arrows were still aimed at the people at the end of the suspension bridge.
The suspension bridge is about to be completed.
Gu Dengyun walked up to Xu Yi and said solemnly: "Sir, we'd better set off now."
"If the suspension bridge is completely lowered, we will have too few manpower and may cause an accident."
Xu Yi glanced at the slowly moving victims in front of him, nodded and said calmly: "Okay."
Gu Dengyun responded yes.
He quickly ran to the edge of the suspension bridge, faced the two hundred elite soldiers and shouted: "Array up!"
In an instant, the two hundred soldiers dispersed instantly, forming twenty ten-man squads.
The person holding the spear raised the spear diagonally, and there was a swordsman between each two spearmen.
This is like a battle formation.
The soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty set up a battle formation against the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty!
Just because they are disaster victims! They might rush into the city!
Xu Yi looked at the soldiers calmly, not knowing what to think in his heart.
"Let's go!" Gu Dengyun pulled out his sword and shouted.
Following Gu Dengyun's order, the soldiers at the front stepped onto the suspension bridge that had not yet been fully placed without hesitation.
"Your Majesty, please." When there were a hundred people, Gu Dengyun trotted up to Xu Yi and said respectfully.
Xu Yi nodded, placed one hand on the handle of the Zhanyuan knife, and slowly followed the soldiers onto the suspension bridge.
Xu Shi's atmosphere was so intense that Zhao Shou, who was next to Xu Yi, pulled out his sword early.
Protecting Xu Yi fiercely.
