The current camp is too close to Fengcheng, which is very inappropriate. After all, so many people are quite conspicuous, so it is better to retreat to the woods and find a hidden and safe place to camp.
Let's spend tonight first and discuss tomorrow's next escape route.
"Where are we moving to?" Chang Zhong was in trouble.
"Move to the direction where the Beiyang Army is stationed. Fang Mulei went to survey during the day. The Beiyang Army is stationed thirty miles away from the Fengcheng city wall. We can find a place to station five hundred meters away from the main army." Xingping Lida said.
suggestions.
He had his own reasons for suggesting this.
Based on his understanding of the Beiyang Army, this ragtag group of people poses no threat to the Beiyang Army. The other party's powerful military force can also serve as a shield for them.
"Uncle Da, your suggestion is very good." Fu Manman agreed with this suggestion.
In the past few days, she had heard people everywhere praising the Beiyang Army. Moreover, since the Beiyang Army repulsed the enemy and the Little Beiyang King entered the city, he indeed asked the city lord to resettle the refugees.
It can be seen from this that this little Beiyang king is quite upright.
They are a group of helpless old and weak women and children. If he could use their influence, he would not be so stingy.
Five hundred meters away is considered a safe range.
While everyone was busy moving, in Fengcheng a few miles away, in the city lord's mansion, Ouyang Wude's subordinates reported to Ouyang Wude what happened outside the city today.
First, they reported the situation of refugees entering the city, how many ordinary people entered the city, and how many slaves sold into slavery entered.
"City Lord, are all these slaves sent to the mine?" the subordinate asked.
"Send them all to the mines, let these slaves work hard and dig more iron ore." Oyang Wude said expressionlessly.
He has been very annoyed recently! The imperial court sent a secret letter again, asking him to monitor the Beiyang Army and show his loyalty.
Although Tian Sheng's surname is still Helian, all the clans and princes know that Tian Sheng's surname is Gongyi now, and it was Gongyi Wenyuan who had the final say.
The civil and military officials in the court were just decorations, and the emperor Helian Aoqing was just a puppet, obeying Gongyi Wenyuan in everything.
It is only a matter of time before the Gongyi family wants to replace him.
Although Ouyang Wude is not convinced, the force of his Ouyang family is not enough to compete with the Gongyi family, and it is very likely that it will be annexed by Gongyi.
But if he can win over the Huangfu family, then the Ouyang family will still have a chance to breathe!
The Beiyang Army is just outside the city. He must win over and test the other party's thoughts.
"Beiyang Army, how are you doing now?" Ouyang Wude asked.
The officer replied: "The Beiyang army is currently stationed outside the city, ten miles away from the city. It has not disturbed the people in the city. Half of the supplies promised to the Beiyang army today have been transported out of the city."
"Well! There's still half of it, don't give it to me yet, let's explore the background of this little Beiyang King before making any plans." Ouyang Wude ordered.
The subordinate accepted the order and thought of a small matter in his mind. It seemed to him to be a trivial matter, but gathering people to recruit people was not a trivial matter either.
No matter what, let’s report it first and let the city lord decide!
"City Lord, there is a man outside the city today who calls himself the Xingyue Gang and is recruiting people!"
"Who are you recruiting?" Ouyang Wude asked casually, and snorted in his heart. You are so brave, you dare to recruit troops under his nose, you are really tired of living.
"The recruits were all old, weak, women and children. I sent my men out to investigate. The leader of the Xingyue Gang was a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl. She took a few refugees and took all the unwanted children outside the city.
Take it away." After the manager finished speaking, he secretly sighed in his heart. This girl was so kind and righteous. She was still a child, but she actually adopted an orphan that no one wanted.
"Hmph! You reported this trivial matter that can't be brought to the table. It's just a bunch of rabble. You are still afraid that a teenage girl will rebel like Li Hancheng. You are stupid! Let your people do something serious and get out..."
Ouyang Wude angrily picked up a piece of paper and smashed it into the other person's face.
This subordinate hurriedly lowered his head with a cautious look on his face. Isn't he also cautious?
"Yes, City Lord, I realize my mistake." The other party hurriedly bowed his back at a ninety-degree angle and backed away from the room.
At the same time, in the military camp, a group of soldiers were drinking and eating meat, all chatting about today's lively events.
Among them, the story about a refugee taking in a group of refugees has become a topic of conversation for everyone.
Everyone laughed at Chang Zhong, who was shouting to recruit old, weak, women and children, "He looks like a normal man, but why is his brain broken?"
"That's right, I also heard that it's called the Xingyue Gang! Haha, at first glance, it looks like children playing house!"
"Hahaha……"
Huangfu Feiran, who was patrolling the camps, heard what the soldiers were talking about, and curiously asked Baililiu Chong, the deputy general next to him, "What's going on with the Xingyue Gang?"
"General, the Xingyue Gang suddenly appeared during the day. It seems that a few refugees organized themselves and took in some orphans. In order to take care of these orphans, they also recruited some old, weak, women and children. They are recruiting old people today.
The slogan "Weak women and children" is under the city gate, and they have set up a shed to recruit people!" The deputy general also wanted to laugh a little when he talked about old, weak women and children.
This is the first time I heard of someone taking the initiative to recruit old, weak, women and children.
When they serve as soldiers, they recruit mostly strong men and keep away the old, weak, women and children.
After Huangfu Feiran heard this, a slight surprise appeared on the young man's high-spirited face, "Among the refugees, there are such kind-hearted and virtuous people. They really have a pure heart. It's hard to see. But,
Have you ever asked, who is the leader of that gang?"
"It seems that a peasant girl, twelve or thirteen years old, is still a child herself, but she wants to save other children. She is really overestimating her abilities... Isn't that stupid!" the deputy general couldn't help complaining.
Huangfu was surprised, "A girl of twelve or thirteen years old?" This is impossible! Most Tiansheng women are mediocre, and even the aristocratic family teaches women how to please their future husband's family.
There is something different about this peasant girl, but it is a pity that her actions can only be in vain, her kindness is useless, and it is ridiculous. The world is uncertain, the people are uneasy, and how can they be saved from the vast sea of people.
"Report..." Suddenly a soldier rushed over.
"What's the matter?" the deputy general asked with a majestic look.
"General, we found a group of refugees setting up a camp five hundred meters away from the main camp," the soldier reported.
If you dare to set up a camp so close to the military camp, this matter will definitely be reported.
"Who are they? So bold." The deputy general said sharply, his tone was blaming the refugees.
"It seems to be the Xingyue Gang during the day. I heard many children crying." Soldiers reported.
"Go and drive them away," the deputy general said.
"Wait a minute!" Huangfu Feiran stopped him, "These refugees just want to take advantage of our power to seek shelter. They are a group of old, weak, women and children. They are not a threat, so let them station themselves there!"
