Dressed as the cannon fodder who died prematurely, I will marry the villain in anger

Pingzhou, Liaoxi County, Wencheng County

Wencheng County is located in the westernmost part of the central part of Liaoxi County and is also one of the main gates from Beiping County to Liaoxi County.

At this time, more than ten thousand people from Youbeiping County gathered outside the west gate of Wencheng County.This was the first time that people chose to defect to Liaoxi County.

"Open the city gate, please, let us in."

"Master Lu, help me."

"Master Lu, please save the child."

The magistrate of Wencheng County reported the situation immediately, and Lu Desheng had already arrived in Wencheng County.

Lu Desheng was followed by Ji Wuyin, who came to watch the excitement after hearing the news, and other large and small businessmen who had come to Pingzhou to invest in the past two years.

At the beginning of the war, these people wanted to evacuate Pingzhou by boat.

When they came to invite Ji Wuyin, Ji Wuyin refused to leave and told them, "If you leave Pingzhou, it may not be safe outside."

Pingzhou had anticipated Xianbei's actions long ago.Ji Wuyin also knew that Pingzhou had really made a lot of preparations to deal with this battle.He trusted Pingzhou more than other unprepared places.Besides, if Xianbei really went south on a large scale, it would not necessarily be safe to escape to the Central Plains, unless they fled to the south.

But he had just evacuated from the Southland, and now he went back in despair. Xie Zhan would not let him go.As for other merchants' proposals to go to the Jiangnan area, he did not agree.

He knew that Xie Zhan had great ambitions. The entire southern part of Lingnan was already his territory. It was very likely that he would develop his power to the northwest and get involved in the Jiangnan area.

If he withdrew to Jiangnan now, wouldn't he be waiting to be picked up by Xie Zhan?Also, if he leaves at this time, will the well-run relationship with Hepingzhou still be maintained?

Chang'an is the land of the emperor, and safety may be guaranteed, but Ji Wuyin knew that the emperor was always thinking about his fat body.

In the southwest, where King Cheng's fiefdom is located, the surrounding area is also considered his territory.He went to the southwest and probably didn't get any good results.

After counting and counting, Ji Wuyin decided to take a gamble. Anyway, the old guy Xue Xu was so afraid of death that he didn't leave, which meant that he wouldn't die if he stayed in Pingzhou.

So when his son came specially from Qingzhou to pick him up, he refused.Later, he will naturally not leave with other merchants.

Some merchants stayed because of their trust in him, while others sold their properties and left.

At this time, Lu Desheng climbed onto the city wall and observed the people outside the city.

These merchants who stayed behind would not be able to get in front of Mr. Lu. They were following Ji Wuyin, squeezing each other.

"Now it seems that it is more dangerous outside. I heard that Yanmen in Bingzhou and Jinyang in the north have been lost."

"There is also Youbeiping County. Although it is not lost now, isn't it a matter of time?"

"Once Yanmen is lost, the Central Plains will no longer be safe."

"Yes, Pingzhou is still holding on and has not let the Xianbei army attack."

On the city wall, Lu Desheng discussed with the people around him to let people in and place them there.

In the city, some bold people asked Lu Desheng for advice.

"Master Lu, we can't let them in. What if there are spies inside?"

"These people are an unstable factor for us in Pingzhou."

"Yes, Mr. Lu, we are at war in Pingzhou. Let them in. What if they have a spy to tip us off and make Pingzhou lose?"

"Yes, Mr. Lu, we don't want to be massacred."

Xu Zheng, who was beside Lu Desheng, wanted to scare them away, but he stopped him.

Lu Desheng came closer and looked at the worried people in the city.

"This fellow, where are you from?"

"Me? I'm from Southland."

Lu Desheng nodded and asked another person, "What about you?"

"I'm from Yanmen." The voice was low.

"This old uncle?"

"I'm from Nanyang!"

"This lady?"

"I am a native of Liaoxi County."

Lu Desheng smiled at them and said, "Look, many people here came to Pingzhou to make a living after the disaster in their hometown. Pingzhou is tolerant, free to come and go, and is willing to protect you hard-working people. But we can't If you cross the river yourself and get on the shore, you have to tear down the bridge to prevent others from crossing, right?"

"Compare yourself to others. Just imagine if we were blocked from the city gate..."

The common people in the city all lowered their heads in shame.

The people outside the city understood, and they were all excited and had tears in their eyes.

"Master Lu, is he planning to let us enter the city?"

"Yes, that's what it sounds like."

Xu Zheng signaled to the refugees outside the city to be quiet, "Everyone, please be quiet first! Let Mr. Lu speak now."

Lu Desheng looked at the people outside the city and said, "I can let you in, but you must obey the arrangements." He had already asked people to make room for them, preparing to relocate them together.

"We are obedient and we promise to be obedient!"

"In addition, there may be spies from Xianbei among you. Outside the city, everyone will supervise each other and report any abnormalities if found. We will check and ensure that no good person is wrongly accused and no bad person is spared."

In the end, Lu Desheng said sincerely, "The safety of Pingzhou requires everyone to work together. In this world, there are not many safe places, and everyone must cherish it."

When the common people heard what Lu Desheng said at the beginning, they were still a little hesitant, but they no longer hesitated afterward.

Finally, Lu Desheng ordered, "Go and open the city gate."

Liaoxi County, Yangle County

After the news of Songzhou's massacre spread, the atmosphere in the grain transport team was very depressed.

Lu Wei stopped talking, and everyone was busy walking.

Not long after leaving Xunzhong, they received news that Songzhou had been massacred.

Lu Wei advised Xu Junfan to turn back and not go forward, it was very dangerous.

But Zuo Yi didn't allow everyone to look back, because they were just a little short of leaving Liaoxi County.If they turned back, it would be equivalent to wasting all their previous efforts. How could he be willing to do this?

Everyone ate their dry food in silence, and they had to go on their way after eating.

The grain transport team were all from the army. At this time, they felt a slight vibration on the ground. Those who were scouts immediately lay down on the ground and listened with their ears.

"No, it's the sound of a lot of horses running."

"cavalry!"

"It must be for the food!"

"Come on!"

Everyone began to push the grain cart in a hurry and get ready to hit the road.

At this time, Zhu Peng jumped out and said, "Stop! I opened this mountain and planted this tree. If you want to live from now on, I will leave money to buy the road!"

A bunch of younger brothers appeared behind Zhu Peng. They looked fierce and looked like they had seen blood on their hands.

Lu Wei stayed close to Xu Junfan, "Master Xu, it's over. There's a wolf in front of us and a tiger in back. What should we do? We won't explain it here, right?"

Xu Junfan broke into cold sweat on his forehead.

Zhu Peng shouted, "Those who know the truth, get out of here, or don't be afraid that I will let you die without a burial place."

"Master Xu, make a decision quickly. You don't want to live and die with taxes and food, do you?"

Xu Junfan: Will we live or die with taxes and grain?No, he had long wanted to throw away this batch of tax grains and run back to Chang'an.

"Master Xu, at a critical moment, give up when you have to! Keep the green hills and don't worry about running out of firewood." Lu Wei urged.

Xu Junfan gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go back!"

Zuo Yi said, "You can't leave!"

Zuo Yi shouted, "Why give up this food? Let's hold on and let Lu Desheng send troops!"

Lu Wei laughed at his naivety, "Master Zuo, if they are just bandits, we can still give it a try, but the Xianbei army is coming. These are the cruel people who just ordered the massacre of the city!"

"Lu Wei is right, if you don't leave, I'll leave!" Xu Junfan knew that if his life was gone, nothing would be lost.

After saying that, he rushed back first.

Zuo Yi hesitated for a moment and then followed.

Lu Wei led others to cut off the rear.

After Zuo Yi caught up with Xu Junfan, he couldn't help but look back, but it was this look that made him stunned.

"Lu Wei, what are you doing?"

"Damn it, what are you doing? Stop it!" The bandits were also shouting and charging towards them.

Lu Wei calmly lit the fire and shouted, "Even if all the food is burned, it will not be left to the bandits and Xianbei!"

As he spoke, he put the pine oil in his hand on the nearby grain truck one by one. There was hidden pine oil under the grain truck and in key places around it.

The people he brought also followed suit and quickly shuttled through the grain workshop to light fires.

At this time, the Xianbei army also arrived.

When Tuoba Jin saw Lu Wei and others burning grain, he became anxious and said, "How dare you, Shuzi!" These grains and grass belong to him!

The continuous fire spread instantly.

"Brothers, hurry, hurry, let's take away the food outside!"

"Grab and run, don't fight!"

The bandits came to the outermost edge of the grain team, each one picked up a sack of grain and ran away, and their escape direction was very tricky.

When the Xianbei soldiers saw it, anyone who wanted to chase them was stopped by Tuoba Jin, "Quickly put out the fire!"

"Don't worry about those people! It's important to put out the fire!"

So much food!
