Traveling through troubled times, he fled with his stepson

"My fellow villagers, there really is food over there. They didn't lie to us. There really are people distributing food over there. There are not only cakes, but also rice soup!"

When this was said, everyone was shocked. They looked at each other and someone asked, "Are there really rice soup and cakes? Don't lie to us..."

"Why would I lie to you? If it's true, as that official said, that food is being distributed, many of us who went there have already eaten it!"

His words moved most people, and some of them have already started packing up their belongings and preparing to go there to see what is really going on.

Soon, more relatives came back here one after another. They brought more or less food for their families, and their stories were the same as the first person.

Now no one doubted that there was no food over there. They packed up their things and prepared to go over.

What happened ahead spread like wildfire, and seeing that everyone else was packing up their bags, even those who didn't believe it had to carry their bags and follow the main group.

By noon, all the refugees guarding the city gate had left.

At this time, Li Yuan also galloped out of the city gate on horseback and headed west.

Jiang Shiping watched him for a long time until he could no longer see him. Then, according to Li Yuan's instructions, he began to talk to everyone: "Begin the city wall battle method."

Previously, because there were refugees outside, many obstacles and fences could not be placed, but now there is no one. The defense in front of the city wall can be built.

Looking at the empty place where the refugees had stayed, Jiang Shiping took a barely audible breath.

If this person is one of us, it will be a blessing, but if he is not one of us...

When Jiu Lan tried to take over the things in Dai Jiangong's hand again, the sound of horse hooves was heard not far away. In an instant, the few people who were originally scooping soup and the people around them put down the things in their hands and grabbed the spears beside them.

The peaceful man immediately changed his attitude and looked towards the sound of horse hooves with a fierce look. He was so hungry that he felt dizzy and dazed. Only when the horse rushed to him did he realize that someone was rushing in.

However, these refugees had no time to react. The man who had just been so aggressive and murderous in front of them relaxed and put away the spear in his hand with a smile when he saw the person coming.

"The boss!"

Jiu Lan shouted loudly, and Li Yuan got off his horse and looked at the long winding road that had been formed here.

Jiu Lan and Dai Jiangong stepped forward to report at the same time.

"how many people?"

"Almost all of them are here." Dai Jiangong said, and Jiu Lan beside him also said: "Among them, several people who did evil were killed."

Li Yuan nodded and did not question Jiu Lan's statement about killing several people. Jiu Lan, who was about to explain, swallowed his words silently when he saw that he had nothing to ask.

"Don't worry about our people. Let your deputy take over and organize these people. Let them know one thing clearly: they will have food if they follow us, and we can also arrange living quarters for the elderly, the weak, women and children."

"Boss, how do you train?"

"No need for deliberate training, just explain our rules and a few life-saving techniques. But one thing is, once anyone is caught, they will die. No matter if they are on the battlefield or in our team."

Li Yuan said, moving his fingers slightly.

In the following day, Jiu Lan, Dai Jiangong and their men counted the identities, names and numbers of these refugees.

Under Li Yuan's arrangement, those with families were all guarded by special people so that they would not be bullied, and the incidents that occurred before, where hungry refugees would not attack the elderly and children, would never happen again.

The people at home had food and drink, and the pillar of the family, who had been taking care of them, breathed a sigh of relief, but there was still a hint of anxiety in his chest.

They didn't know what they were going to face or what they would have to give in exchange for the food they would have for the next two days.

Li Yuan continued to receive news from Yizhou.

The people sent out to investigate also came back to report the news, and Li Yuan knew the situation in Yizhou very well.

Lei Hao had already approached Yizhou the next morning, earlier than Li Yuan had expected.

Fifty thousand troops marched to the city, and Jiang Shiping fought back on the city wall.

"Your Yizhou had people kill the family of my Chenzhou general. We asked you to pay for your life, but we didn't want to be rejected. In this case, we can only ask your entire Yizhou to apologize!"

The person next to Lei Hao shouted loudly, and the sound could be heard clearly in the surrounding area.

"Bullshit! How dare you say such nonsense? You said we killed him, so we killed him? You want to slander us with empty words. You just want to take over Yizhou so that you can show off to Lei Hao! I tell you, it's impossible!"

"We in Yizhou will not let you succeed. The people of Yizhou don't want you to come in, just like the people of Luozhou don't want you to come in!"

The deputy general next to Jiang Shiping was a sharp-tongued man, and as soon as he opened his mouth he vented all the frustration he had felt in the past few days.

This shouting match on the battlefield is nothing more than you saying it's your fault and me saying it's my fault, and both sides are just looking for an excuse to fight.

Everyone knows it clearly.

So they all fought hard.

"Have our people spread the news?"

The people next to him were still shouting at each other, and Lei Hao at the side asked the people next to him.

Lei Haosheng is an elegant young man, which is inconsistent with his appearance, but the bloodshot in his eyes has not disappeared.

The person next to him quickly replied in between shouting: "He should have been released. There is still no news."

Lei Hao frowned slightly: "No news yet?"

"Yes, I don't know if it's because the situation in the city is tense, but our people haven't sent back any new news yet."

"No." Lei Hao's intuition was not right. If it had really succeeded, how could Jiang Shiping appear on the city wall and act as if he was willing to stand with the soldiers.

"Take your men and leave from the rear, go around to their rear, and burn their food supplies. If you can't get the food supplies, you can put drugs in the water."

When he said this, there was viciousness in his eyes.

Those who do great things never pay attention to small details. Reputation? As long as they become a winner, it is not up to them to decide whether their reputation is good or bad.

The subordinates who received the order quietly retreated from the front of the battle.

Jiang Shiping, who was standing above him, clenched his sword tightly and looked to the side to confirm again: "Are you sure that the water source and food supplies are heavily guarded?"

The deputy general was cursing, and his subordinates replied: "Confirm the city lord, food and water sources are of top priority. We have sent a large number of people to guard them, so don't worry."

"Also, when the people in the city heard about the good deeds of the City Lord's wife and your vow to live and die with Yizhou, they were all in high spirits and cooperated unprecedentedly."

Hearing this, Jiang Shiping put her heart at ease. She knew that this battle might be difficult, but if she won, she would become famous in Kyushu, and Yizhou would also go from being unknown to being famous all over the world.

This is the only battle!
