Traveling through ancient times, storing supplies and not fleeing famine

Lord Liu became a county magistrate without any troops, and all his men ran away one by one, leaving not a single one behind.

Even if he wanted to take out his anger on the families of his subordinates, no one was instructing him to do so.

He also couldn't capture anyone's family by himself. Even if he wanted to, he didn't have the ability to do so.

The county town was even more chaotic than before because there was no government or military supervision anymore.

Unable to bear the lack of food and clothing, coupled with frequent looting, almost all families fled the famine.

Now not only the people in the village have disappeared, but also the people in the town and the county. All those who can leave have left without any trace of nostalgia.

But after they set out on the journey to escape famine, they discovered that the journey was not as simple as they had imagined.

It was a road full of suffering and despair, and every step was heavy and difficult.

Looking into the distance, among the people fleeing famine, the elderly were staggering, the children were crying sadly, and there were many women holding thin babies, whose cries were weak, as if they would not live long! !

The men carried the few remaining belongings on their shoulders.

Their faces were filled with fatigue and helplessness, and their eyes had lost their former luster, leaving only confusion and fear about the future.

Along the way, the fields are barren and the villages are dilapidated, even the once prosperous county town.

Now it is empty, with only the rustling sound of the wind.

The shadow of hunger hangs over everyone, and food becomes the most precious luxury.

There are also some people who push and shove each other or even fight for a few leftovers. The selfishness and cruelty in their desperation are chilling.

What's worse, they were robbed further by the disaster victims who had gathered together earlier, until there was nothing left to rob.

They would secretly snatch or abduct those young children.

In the end, only corpses are left on the ground.

There were some people who were too hungry to rob, so they just squatted on the side of the road. If someone fell down and couldn't get up again, they would rush forward and eat him frantically like wild dogs.

It seems that in order to survive, nothing else matters!

In such a cruel background, disease is always present.

The pollution of water sources, the lack of nutrition, and the bodies of the dead people filled the air.

The plague spread among the fleeing people.

Many patients were lying on the roadside, with no one caring about them. Their groans echoed in the empty fields, sounding particularly miserable.

There were also those who were staring at the person who was lying on the roadside, still breathing his last breath.

It seemed as if she would rush over as soon as he died.

This makes the plague spread faster!!

The entire north instantly became a living hell.

When night falls, the starry sky is still bright.

But for those who survived the famine, that was cold comfort.

They huddled in simple tents or under the open air, resisting the cold wind, their hearts filled with longing for their families and worries about the unknown future.

On such a journey of fleeing famine, death became commonplace and cannibalism became commonplace.

Everyone's eyes were empty, with only silence and tears.

The living continue to move forward, their steps are heavy and slow, and every step is a persistence in life and a pursuit of hope.

The tragic scenes on the road of fleeing famine are a silent accusation against the turmoil and natural disasters of this era, and a testimony to the tenacious vitality of mankind.

Powerful natural disasters and government inaction brought misfortune to the common people.

Wars often broke out in more distant places.

Some took advantage of the war between the imperial court and the northwest to organize uprisings among the people.

No matter what, it is the common people all over the world who suffer.

They had no ability to fight against this natural disaster, nor did they have the ability to stop the war.

I can only hope silently in my heart that this disaster will pass quickly.

At this time, General Yuwen, who had already reached the capital, was attacking the palace. Because he had an insider, he was able to control the entire palace with very few casualties.

When he walked to the Golden Palace, which he had not been to for a long time, he saw the current emperor, to whom he had always been loyal, sitting on the dragon throne!

It feels quite ironic.

The emperor at this time no longer had the arrogance he had before. Although he was sitting in a wheelchair, his whole body couldn't help shaking.

Knowing that the situation was hopeless, he quietly dismissed everyone.

Looking at old General Yuwen, he hoped that old General Yuwen would leave him with a last bit of dignity.

"General Yuwen, can you please ask your people to leave first so that we can talk alone?"

Old General Yuwen snorted.

He did not agree to the emperor's request.

Even though he knew that the emperor was at the end of his strength, even though there were only the two of them in the entire hall.

Then he could subdue the emperor with just one finger.

But he just wanted to humiliate the emperor who was sitting high and mighty on the throne!

Otherwise, how could he comfort the souls of more than 100 members of his Yuwen family?

"If you have anything to say, say it now. I don't have much time for you."

Although the emperor's face turned red at this moment, in order to save his life, he still swallowed his pride and stepped down from the throne little by little.

He walked in front of General Yuwen, and the next moment, he knelt down on the ground.

This was the first time he knelt down to someone since the time of the Empress Dowager.

"General Yuwen, it was because I believed the slander of the treacherous ministers that I killed more than 100 people in the Yuwen family! Don't blame me, General Yuwen.

Do you remember what you promised my father?

You promised my father that you would assist me in the future, so please give me another chance!

I will write a confession of guilt and denounce my evil deeds.

Not only that, you will also be given the throne. I will personally write the decree of succession. As long as you can save my life, I am willing to do anything!"

The emperor at this moment no longer had the majesty he once had, and he no longer looked like the supreme ruler.

General Yuwen recalled that when the emperor was young, he had always been by his side. If there was any war in the four directions, he would go to the battlefield at all costs in order to secure his throne!

He was afraid that the military families would bring suspicion to the emperor.

So his only son, who had loved martial arts and the battlefield since childhood, was forced to become a civil servant.

Unexpectedly, even so, after the political situation stabilized, their Yuwen family was still feared by the emperor.

Even without any evidence, he directly killed more than 100 people from his Yuwen family.

His son and daughter-in-law died in that disaster.

Fortunately, his only grandson escaped.

It is relatively safe now to hide your identity.

Otherwise, how could he be worthy of the ancestors of the Yuwen family?

"This throne! It's really fascinating!"

Old General Yuwen looked at the dragon throne above him. The person sitting on the dragon throne had the power of life and death over everyone.

Faced with such great power, he was also tempted!
