Yuan Qingshan said: "General, even though he has evil intentions, the measures he proposed can solve the urgent task. We can first let the old, weak, women and children enter the customs..."
"No!" Su Yuchi flatly refused.⊥
Yuan Qingshan did not expect that Su Yuchi's attitude was still so resolute. He sighed and said: "General, seeing the heavy rain coming, tens of thousands of refugees outside have no clothes to wear, no food to eat, and no shelter from the wind and rain. How can the general bear to see this?"
Are they trapped and dying outside the city like this? The food sent by Hu Xiaotian can only be used for temporary needs and will be exhausted in a few days. Therefore, the fundamental way to solve the problem is to give these refugees a way to survive. They are also large
Kang Zimin!"
Su Yuchi said: "A woman's kindness, if she really lets those refugees enter the city, she will definitely be taken advantage of by Hu Xiaotian." He clenched his fists and made up his mind: "Without the decree of the imperial court, no refugees can be allowed to enter the city."
Hu Xiaotian led his team to leave the refugee camp at dusk. Long Xiyue felt sad and whispered: "How can it be so miserable, Xiaotian, can we help these people?"
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said: "I will try my best."
The refugees behind them all knelt on the ground and shouted sadly: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, please let us in. The storm is coming, and we have nowhere to hide. As long as your Majesty takes care of us, we will be able to do whatever we want in the future."
Even if you are a cow or a horse, you must repay the kindness of the prince."
When Long Xiyue heard the miserable cries for help behind her, she couldn't bear to watch.
Hu Xiaotian signaled his men to escort Long Xiyue and others to go first, while he slowly came to his senses and said loudly: "It's not that I don't want to take you in, you should also know that Yunyang is not my territory and I want you to enter.
, we must first obtain the consent of General Su Yuchi. I, Hu Xiaotian, swear here today that as long as General Su agrees to release, I will take in one of you Xichuan refugees, and I will treat you equally and help you settle down. I also ask all fellow villagers to do more
Have some patience."
One of the refugees said: "Don't believe him, he is just as hypocritical as Su Yuchi and deceives us..."
Hu Xiaotian said: "I know that some of you may not believe my sincerity. Don't worry, the relief will never stop here. From today on, I will continuously send food and medicine here to help you."
It’s urgent.”
Those who originally had doubts about Hu Xiaotian stopped talking. After all, Hu Xiaotian had already taken practical actions, and everyone understood that Su Yuchi had the final say in Yunyang now, and it was not just what Hu Xiaotian said.
Su Yuchi stood on top of the tower and looked down coldly. Hu Xiaotian's words were so powerful and inspiring that he naturally heard them clearly. He did not deny that what Hu Xiaotian said was all true, but he said this to those refugees.
His words were obviously provocative, and Hu Xiaotian was directing all conflicts toward himself.
When Hu Xiaotian left Yunyang, Su Yuchi still saw him off as usual.
Hu Xiaotian said: "General Su, we will continue to send disaster relief supplies over in the future. We hope that General Su can let them go."
Su Yuchi said: "Your Majesty's compassionate feelings are really admirable, but it's just a matter of defense, and it's not convenient for Su to make the decision without permission. Today's matter is an exception."
Hu Xiaotian chuckled and said, "Don't worry, General Su. I will bear any responsibility arising from this."
Su Yuchi smiled and said: "Some things are not just talk. It is my responsibility. I hope the prince will be considerate. How about this. From tomorrow on, I will send someone to take charge of the rescue at Bailangdui. All the relief materials donated by the prince will be transferred to Su.
Check the delivery one by one, I wonder what the prince wants?"
Hu Xiaotian looked at Su Yuchi and said, "Since General Su can't trust me, why should I trust General Su?"
The situation did not improve with the arrival of Hu Xiaotian. After Hu Xiaotian went to the refugee camp to express condolences, the Yunyang area of Xichuan entered a long rainy season. The earthquake caused many roads in Xichuan to collapse, and the east and west parts of Xichuan were isolated as a result. The refugees in eastern Xichuan
As they kept going to Yunyang, the news that Hu Xiaotian asked people to provide disaster relief had spread to Xichuan through the mouths of the refugees. For these refugees, this was a bright light in the darkness, allowing them to see the hope of survival.
In just three days, the number of refugees gathered outside the west gate of Yunyang has reached nearly 80,000. The rapid increase in refugees has caused a shortage of food. Although Hu Xiaotian's side did not stop the supply of food, the rapid increase in the number of refugees has
Instead of slowing down, the phenomenon of too many monks and too little food has become more serious.
Su Yuchi is still waiting for the court's order. He is a rule-abiding person. Before the court officially orders, he cannot let these refugees enter the customs. Although Su Yuchi sympathizes with these refugees deep in his heart, but the current more than 80,000 refugees will once
Entering Yunyang, the situation will become uncontrollable.
Su Yuchi was obviously aware of some internal dissatisfaction. These soldiers under him are also human beings. People are not grass and trees, and they can be ruthless. They are full of sympathy for the refugees and are dissatisfied with their own handling methods. Su Yuchi does not blame these subordinates. As time goes by,
As time went by, I began to become restless. If this situation continues, the situation of refugees outside will only get worse and worse.
After Yuan Qingshan returned from the refugee camp this time, he brought bad news to Su Yuchi. The number of refugee deaths in the past two days has been more than 500. Hunger and disease are claiming more and more lives. This war lasted for many days.
The heavy rain still showed no sign of stopping. Yuan Qingshan lamented: "General, the people are so innocent, how can we bear to watch them lingering on the edge of death? Since Hu Xiaotian promised to accept these refugees, why don't we give these refugees a way to live?"
Su Yuchi said: "Isn't what I said before clear enough? We cannot let anyone enter without the order of the imperial court." A dazzling bolt of lightning pierced the sky, followed by a series of dull thunders.
Amidst the sound of wind and rain, miserable wailing continued outside the city gate, and the refugees shouted in unison: "Let us enter the city, General Su. We will never stay in Yunyang. Please give us a way to survive and join King Zhenhai."
"
Yuan Qingshan looked at Su Yuchi expectantly.
Su Yuchi pursed his lips. At this time, an announcement came from outside: "General Su, the court has replied." A soaked messenger quickly entered the room. Su Yuchi said anxiously before he could pay homage: "What did the court say?
?”
The messenger took out the carefully wrapped reply letter from his arms.
Su Yuchi took the reply and opened it, reading it quickly, but his eyes dimmed.
Yuan Qingshan on the side said impatiently: "General, how will the court reply?"
Su Yuchi said: "The imperial court has an order not to let anyone from Xichuan enter Guanzhong."
"What?" Yuan Qingshan's voice was full of anger and dissatisfaction.
Su Yuchi said in a deep voice: "Convey this order from the imperial court. If anyone dares to disobey the imperial court's order, he will be killed without mercy!"
At this time, a general in charge of guarding the west gate came in a hurry, but the refugees had cut down trees and built a pontoon bridge on the moat. Currently, about a hundred people had passed the pontoon bridge, beating and hitting the city gate, and gathered outside the city gate.
There are more and more refugees.
When Su Yuchi heard that the situation was urgent, he quickly braved the wind and rain and climbed to the west gate tower. Looking up, he saw that a pontoon bridge had been built on the moat. The pontoon bridge was made of felled trees and connected to both sides of the moat. The refugees came to the city along the pontoon bridge.
Under the gate, dozens of refugees carried logs and charged at the city gate again and again, intending to knock it open.
Su Yuchi couldn't help but became furious when he saw the scene in front of him. If the soldiers guarding the city were not indifferent, this situation would never have happened. He said angrily: "Are you all blind? Can't you see these rioters attacking the city?" Everyone lowered their heads.
, remained silent, expressing dissatisfaction with Su Yuchi's way of doing things in this way.
Su Yuchi said angrily: "Send my order and tell them to quickly retreat outside the moat. If they dare to continue to rush into the city gate, they will be killed without mercy!"
A herald conveyed Su Yuchi's order.
But the refugees below didn't listen at all. One of the refugees shouted: "Young and old men, the King of Zhenhai clearly promised to accept us, but this man named Su was standing in the way. He fought with Xichuan, and even we have a grudge. He wants to
They’re trapping us here alive!”
Someone said: "If you fight with him, you will die if you fight. If you are trapped here, you will die. Even if we die, we will die vigorously."
The refugees were excited and encouraged each other. They once again rushed towards the city gate carrying logs.
Su Yuchi roared angrily: "Give them an ultimatum, if they don't retreat, they will be killed without mercy!"
Su Yuchi's ultimatum had no effect on the refugees who had lost their minds. Seeing that the situation was about to fall into an uncontrollable situation, Su Yuchi secretly made up his mind and shouted: "Archers, prepare!"
Two hundred archers lined up their bows and arrows on the tower, aiming their cold arrowheads at the refugees below, but every soldier's expression looked extremely painful and tangled.
Su Yuchi shouted: "Fire the arrow!"
After giving the order, no one loosened the bowstring. Yuan Qingshan's eyes filled with tears, and he roared sadly: "General!" If they were facing an invading enemy, they would definitely not hesitate, but everyone under the city gate was unarmed.
Refugees, these people just want a way out, they don't want to attack the city.
Su Yuchi glared at Yuan Qingshan, suddenly raised his foot and kicked him hard on the lower abdomen. Yuan Qingshan was kicked to the ground.
Su Yuchi took out the sword from his waist, pointed at the group of archers and said, "I say it again, shoot arrows!"
"Boom!" "Boom! Boom! Boom..."
The arrows penetrated the layers of rain and shot at the refugees who were rushing towards the city gate. There were bursts of miserable wailing from under the city gate. Su Yuchi thought that shooting a few refugees would serve as a warning to others, but he failed.
What I thought was that the blood not only did not make those refugees retreat, but more refugees rushed forward. This time, there were women and children who rushed across the pontoon...
