Lu Hu, who was following Zhao Erlang, kept paying attention to the soldiers beside Zhao Hanzhang. When he saw the flag change, he immediately said: "Young general, the commander asked us to rush out to the southwest..."
Zhao Erlang pulled the reins and rushed to the other side with his men. Soon he rushed out of the encirclement. At the place where he rushed through, the refugees could not connect head to tail, and the attack immediately weakened. Some people saw cavalry coming.
, regardless of looting the goods, turned around and ran towards the mountains.
But Zhao Erlang would let them run away. He immediately took people to drive them around, and then drove them back to the road.
A quarter of an hour later, the fighting stopped in the field, and all the refugees were forced to divide into six circles. Some people had lost their sticks and squatted on the ground, while most of them stood, looking back to back at the cavalry with caution.
Fu Tinghan and the others also arrived. When they saw another group of soldiers and horses with a larger number of people coming, the refugees became even more desperate. Those who were holding stones and unwilling to drop them also dropped their stones and squatted on the ground, willing to be killed.
Fu Tinghan didn't expect her to move so quickly. He rode up to her side, glanced around and said, "Are they bandits or refugees?"
Zhao Hanzhang: "It all counts."
The young man standing on the carriage had his eyes bright, jumped out of the carriage and walked quickly towards Zhao Hanzhang...
Zhao Hanzhang showed a gentle and polite smile, dismounted and stood still.
Fu Tinghan also dismounted and looked at the young man coming quickly, slightly surprised. Isn't this Zhu Zhuan?
Zhu Chuan quickly walked up to him, inserted his sword back, and adjusted his sleeves and robe, then raised his hand and bowed deeply, "Thank you, Governor Zhao, for saving your life."
Zhao Hanzhang smiled and nodded slightly, "Young masters, you don't need to be polite. I failed to manage my subordinates well, which frightened you all."
Zhao Hanzhang tilted his head and said to Fan Ying: "After counting all the gangsters, collect them and take them down for resettlement."
Fan Ying bowed in response and immediately went down to make arrangements.
Zhu Chuan watched Fan Ying walking towards the refugees and couldn't help but turn around and ask Zhao Hanzhang, "I wonder how Governor Zhao will deal with these bandits?"
Zhao Hanzhang said: "Ask about his origins and rush to work in the fields to atone for his mistakes."
Many people died in Zhu Chuan, but he was not dissatisfied when he heard how Zhao Hanzhang handled it. After all, in these troubled times, one moment he wanted to kill his parents, but the next moment they were as close as brothers, and there were many people eating at the same table.
His eyes fell on the soldiers behind Zhao Hanzhang, and he expressed his doubts appropriately, "Why did Governor Zhao come here? I thought that I could only visit him after Xiping."
Zhao Hanzhang smiled and said: "I am going to Nanyang. Not far ahead is the Kingdom of Nanyang. Did you gentlemen come from Nanyang?"
Zhu Zhuan nodded and said "yes" and said with a smile: "Today is such a coincidence. No matter what, I have to treat Governor Zhao to a drink."
Zhao Hanzhang agreed and immediately asked the soldiers to camp on the spot.
Zhu Chuan went to count his casualties and losses, and then Zhao Hanzhang stepped forward to see the refugees. Fu Tinghan asked the accompanying military doctor to come over to help rescue and bandage the refugees.
The refugees looked at Zhao Hanzhang with wide eyes, expecting and wary of her.
Apparently, they had all heard of the new governor.
Zhao Hanzhang stood in front of them, with a look of hatred on his face, just like he did to his own naughty child, "The notices for disaster relief and refugee recruitment have been passed down for a long time. I also ordered all counties and counties to let the government officials
The police are beating gongs and drums everywhere because they are afraid that you will not be able to read."
"This is not far from Xi'e County of Nanyang Kingdom. Why don't you go to the city to receive relief, but instead live outside and rob?"
The refugees became emboldened when they saw that although Zhao Hanzhang was angry, he was not violent. They felt sad for a moment, and immediately knelt down on the ground, prostrated themselves and said: "Your Majesty, we don't want to be gangsters either, your Majesty.
I also want to be a good citizen, but the counties in Nanyang Kingdom do not allow refugees from the north to enter the city. We were kicked out from Luyang."
They were lying on the ground with their heads bowed deeply. Zhao Hanzhang could only hear their voices but could not see their expressions.
But she saw the hands with open fingers pressed to the side of her head. She glanced over and saw that each hand was red and swollen with frostbite, and some even burst open, as if she could see the bones inside.
She slid her eyes down her hands and saw their exposed skin with holes in them. The cold wind blew through their messy hair and the torn cloth strips on their bodies...
Zhao Hanzhang didn't know whether they were freezing, or he was talking about something sad. His voice trembled slightly and he choked up, "Although we are in the wilderness, we have heard of the envoy's benevolent policy and know that the envoy allowed us to settle down here and wait.
We are providing relief and dividing the fields, but we are being driven out one after another, and we really don’t dare to stay in Nanyang for a long time.”
"I heard that the envoy is in Xiping, and Runan County is your hometown. The person in charge here is your uncle. I thought he would not disobey your order, so we came here despite the heavy snow." He said: "We originally
There were only a hundred people, but we met many victims on the road who had also fled from the North, so we left together."
Only then did Zhao Hanzhang look away, lowered his head and asked, "How many of you are there?"
"Originally there were about four to five thousand people, but it was too cold and many people died. Some people refused to leave and dug dirt on the spot or built thatched houses for the winter. Now there are only more than two thousand people following."
Zhao Hanzhang glanced around and saw that there were less than a thousand people here, so he asked: "Where are the remaining people?"
"In the forest, there are only old, weak, women and children." The man who had been lying down finally had the courage to raise his head slightly. His face was stained with tears and stains, and he could only quickly
He glanced at Zhao Hanzhang, then lay down again, lowered his head and said: "We are really too cold and too hungry. When we saw that this caravan seemed to be transporting a lot of food and cloth, we couldn't help it..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Hanzhang also understood and directly ordered: "Take us to see."
When the man heard that Zhao Hanzhang's voice was calm and did not look like he was about to get angry, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief and got up and led Zhao Hanzhang into the woods to find him.
Of course, Zhao Hanzhang couldn't go in by herself, so she brought a team of people in.
Not far into the forest was a mountain col. Because it was a mountain col, it was not ventilated and was slightly warmer than outside. Zhao Hanzhang walked to the edge of the slope and looked down, and saw many young, old and women squatting densely below.
Zhao Hanzhang was slightly stunned.
Fu Tinghan was also stunned for a moment.
Zhao Hanzhang glanced over, turned around and said to the young man: "Bring them out."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Fu Tinghan turned his head and watched her go away, pretending not to see her red eyes, and stood at the exit waiting for them to come out. He counted in his mind and waited for people to pass by. At the same time, he looked at the people and estimated their approximate distance.
Age exists in the mind.
A little girl was walking in a hurry and ran a few steps to keep up with the person in front of her. She tripped on a tree stump and fell in front of Fu Tinghan.
Fu Tinghan hurriedly stretched out his hand to help the person up, and saw that her feet were bare and she had several inappropriate clothes that were put together. However, none of them were in good condition and they were all in tatters.
He glanced at her red and swollen feet, thought for a moment, took off his cloak, wrapped her whole body in it, focusing on her two little feet, then picked her up, looked back, and wrapped the rest of her body.
Fifteen people scanned it, took it to heart, and turned around to leave.
