In spring and summer, the sun is warm.
The sun was setting in the west, but the homeless and foodless refugees still felt cold in their hearts and bodies. They squatted or sat in groups here and there under earthen walls or beside huts, hoping that the warm sun would warm them. Drive away the coldness in your heart and body.
Ding Shan mingled among these crowds, wrapped his ragged clothes tighter, and looked around at the homeless people. They were old and young, male and female. The children were howling because of hunger, and the old people were dejected because of hunger. .
Listening to the hungry howl of a skinny and skinny child in his late teens, Dingshan couldn't help but touch the small half bag of cooked wheat in his arms.
This time, Yang Mazi and his men went into Guangchang to act as internal agents. Yang Mazi was responsible for waiting for the opportunity to seize the door when the team attacked Guangchang, while the dozens of old men he brought with him were waiting for the opportunity to set fires everywhere in the city and create chaos.
The task is simple!
A few days after entering the city, the location for setting fires had already been selected. Dozens of old men were scattered in groups around a dozen fire-setting points, waiting for the army to attack the city.
As for Yang Mazi, they could only hang out in the city, figure out the terrain, hide themselves, and wait for the time to move.
"Ah... wuwu... Auntie... I'm hungry..."
The child's cry once again interrupted Dingshan's thoughts, making his heart ache.
Listening to the cries of the children in the thatched house behind him, Dingshan couldn't help but his thoughts returned to the children and their mother in the thatched house, and his cloudy old eyes slowly became moist.
The thatched house he was leaning against had been knocked on the door and entered a few days ago when they were thirsty and wanted to drink water. A mother and her son lived in the house. Since entering that time, Dingshan has been guarding the thatched house.
The same height, the same thinness, the same rectangular face. If your child is around, you should be married now, and your grandson should be this old, right?
"Aniu, be good and sleep. You won't be hungry when you fall asleep. When you wake up, you will..."
Listening to the helpless murmur of the girl in the thatched house, Dingshan seemed to see his child going through such torture. He touched the small half bag of cooked wheat in his arms. He wanted to send something to this thin girl now, but , when he saw piles and groups of unkempt heads around him, he held back again.
Life is not easy, so it is better to avoid gossiping if possible.
Wait, just wait for the sun to set...
Gao Lan was depressed. The hidden dangers of Wuruan Pass were always on his mind. He knew clearly that there were many dangers there. Once the thieves thought of and used this to seize the pass, Wuruan Pass would be in danger. However, he was helpless. All because he is a concubine and an outsider.
This opportunity now has been hard-won. If I continue to make irresponsible remarks between uncles and nephews, others will think that I am making trouble, and even this opportunity will be lost.
what to do?
Returning to Gao Lan at the head of Guangchang City again, I thought hard for a long time, but came up with no solution.
The upset Gao Lan looked at Guangchang City, and slowly, his brows began to frown.
Refugees?
Refugees are also a hidden danger!
The main force of the Yellow Turban thieves are the refugees who have no food to eat and have no home to eat. Now, the same goes for the Black Mountain thieves.
Thinking of this, Gao Lan was horrified in his heart, and his eyes quickly swept around Guangchang City. He saw that under the earthen walls, beside the huts, and outside the city, there were probably more than a thousand refugees of both sexes, old and young.
What if the thieves lay in advance and take advantage of the chaos in the city to cause trouble?
The more Gao Lan thought about it, the more frightened he became. He gave up the matter of Wuruan Pass and kept thinking in his mind. An idea gradually formed, and then he led people straight to Gao Mansion.
If you want to do some things, you can't go around Gao Lin. Although people promised you that you could be independent at that time, but maybe they were polite words and should not be taken seriously. It is better to ask for instructions when encountering problems...
Drive them all out of the city!
"Alan, you heard that right. I have asked people to cooperate with you and drive all the refugees out of the city to prevent them from disrupting the city defense." Gao Lin repeated his decision to Gao Lan.
"Brother Lin, that's not right. There are many young and strong among them. Why don't we arrest the young and strong and leave the old and weak to their own devices? This will not only relieve the worry of the city's defense, but also improve the reputation of the Gao family?" The clan elder stopped him and gave some advice.
well……
Gao Lin sighed in his heart when he heard the clan elder stopping his decision. He knew why the clan brother captured the young and strong but kept the old and weak. However, at this juncture, compared with money and horses, the city of Guangchang was the most important thing. , he really doesn’t want the clan elder to be confused at this time.
"Alan, go and execute it, drive all the refugees out of the city!"
Gao Lin took a look at this clan elder who was risking his life for money, and insisted on his opinion. As for reputation, in this Guangchang world, reputation is equal to fists. If you don't agree, then you can only shut up your mouth forever.
The survival of the Gao family is the most important thing...
Are all the refugees leaving the city?
When Yang Mazi heard the news, he felt relieved.
This time, Xiaoshuai attacked Guangchang and ordered himself to be the internal response. After arriving at Guangchang City and observing it for a few days, he found that Guangchang City seemed to be loosely defended, but in fact it was not.
In Guangchang City, there are no county rulers. In fact, the power is completely controlled by several major families headed by the Gao family. There are about a thousand defensive servants, all with strong armor and sharp spears, who patrol day and night.
He and others entered the city with bare hands. If the attack outside the city was not effective, a signal would be sent out for him and others to grab the door. The only means of support for the people he brought into the city were the sticks in their hands and no armor. There are only a few pieces, and there is not a single gun. When the time comes to actually fight, the casualties can be imagined.
Now, since the thieves want to drive the refugees out of the city, this is exactly what they want. On the one hand, they avoid the risk of fighting for their lives; on the other hand, they have an explanation to Zhang Xiaoshuai, so why not do it?
After thinking about this, Yang Mazi was secretly happy. He saw the servants who were searching for the refugees driving a large number of refugees towards him. He took the initiative to join the team of refugees and headed outside the city...
When Dingshan heard the news, his heart sank.
Zhang Sheng takes this attack on Guangchang very seriously. Moreover, Pingshan Valley has used all its strength, including veterans like them who have withdrawn from the battle. There is no room for failure in this battle.
Now, the Gao family's traitors in Guangchang City are suddenly clearing out the refugees, which means that many people who entered Guangchang City in the early stage will be cleared out.
If Zhang Sheng's attack on Guangchang City fails, what should he do if he needs people in the city to help him?
Thinking of this, Dingshan's mind became a mess, and several old friends who were traveling with him gathered around one by one, waiting for Dingshan's decision.
"Aunt... wuwu... hungry..."
Behind him, the cries of the children in the hut were like a ray of light passing through Dingshan's heart.
Touching the small half bag of cooked wheat in his arms, listening to the children's cries, Dingshan bit his teeth, nodded to the old guys, stood up, turned around and opened the door of the hut...
When Jushou Jugongda, who was sitting under the willow tree in the county temple, heard this order, he put down the book in his hand, and a trace of sullenness rose in his heart.
The Gao family is the dominant one in Guangchang!
They unite local forces to control local areas, absorb land, associate with foreign tribes, trade people as slaves, live in fish and meat villages, and run rampant in counties. The people do not know that there is an emperor but only know the Gao family.
Since taking office in Guangchang County, I have been ignored by the Gao family everywhere. Government orders are not up to standard and civil affairs are not smooth.
Now, when the world is buzzing and the people are in dire straits, is this Gao family going to drive away the refugees again?
If God wants him to go crazy, he will surely die!
Thinking of this, Jushou slowly picked up the scroll again...
