The city of Shanghai was protected.

After Zheng Ke woke up, he hurriedly took the remaining troops and said goodbye to Huo Zhan. His words were quite polite, but his face was extremely depressed, like a dog that had lost its family. He could only leave Shanghai with his tail between his legs and return to Jiangcheng to report the news.

As soon as Zheng Ke left, the news spread that the Japanese warships were shot down by the Huo family army and suffered heavy losses, which seriously damaged their vitality.

News newspapers were flying all over Kyushu, causing great excitement among the people of Kyushu.

It turns out that their battle against the Japanese is not completely without the possibility of winning. At least the Huo family army in Fengjin has never been defeated. In the past, they lived in a corner and only operated around Fengjin. Now they have begun to expand outward, first to Green City, then Xiling Mountain, and then to the economic port of Shanghai City. How long is it until the liberation of the entire Kyushu?

For a time, the people of Kyushu were greatly encouraged, and they felt more confident when facing the Japanese.

"Go back to Green City?" Huo Zhan frowned slightly after hearing Yun Chu's words.

Yun Chu nodded again: "The trouble in Shanghai has come to an end for the time being. I haven't made all the arrangements for Green City yet. And Tachibana Kayaka, she also played an indispensable role in our successful approach to the Japanese high-ranking officials this time. We should give a conclusion, right?"

What happened in Shanghai is now known to everyone. Although Tachibana Ka Ayaka didn't know that she had taken advantage of her identity and she didn't intend to mention it, in this era of national difficulty and continuous war, it was no problem to help Tachibana Ka Ayaka and Chen Huaishu to achieve a marriage. She was ready to take over the happy ending that couldn't be achieved in the novel.

Of course, there is something more important: the famine in Guangliang Province is almost over.

She was from Guangliang Province and had planned for a long time before she had achieved some success in Green City. She felt a little uneasy about just leaving it all to Yu Yongmei. However, if she wanted to consider this matter, the grain cultivation in Fengjin was extremely important.

Thinking of this, Yun Chu said, "Send a message back to Fengjin about the rice seeds. They should be useful soon."

Huo Zhan hummed softly, then stared at Yun Chu eagerly and asked, "When will you be back?"

Yun Chu lowered his eyes to look at his slightly bulging belly, pondered for a moment, and asked tentatively: "After two months?"

Huo Zhan sighed lightly, with a hint of disappointment between his brows. Yun Chu's mouth twitched again. Although he knew that he was acting, seeing him like this, he couldn't help but jump onto his stage and said, "Can I do it as soon as possible?"

Hucheng had just been stabilized, and Huo Zhan needed to stabilize the situation here, then expand the terrain between Fengjin, Lvcheng, and Hucheng, completely expanding this area into the territory of Fengjin, and then using this as a base point to continue expanding outward. The next step would be Tongcheng.

Tongcheng was once the capital of the Four Elephants Party and was also an important place. After the Japanese lost Shanghai and suffered a series of military defeats, they would definitely firmly control Tongcheng to avoid losing this place and withdrawing from the competition for the Central Plains.

However, Tongcheng is a very awkward and delicate place, being attacked from both sides by Shanghai and Jiangcheng. Therefore, if the Japanese are smart, the most sensible thing to do at this moment is to abandon Tongcheng and continue to retreat to the northeast, otherwise they will have no chance of winning.

Of course, these were not things Yun Chu had to consider. After she repeatedly promised to come back as soon as possible, Huo Zhan reluctantly let her go. Huo Qi still accompanied her for protection, but to avoid arousing suspicion, he did not bring many people with him.

This time, I drove without wasting time on the road and returned to Green City quickly.

This time she hurried to Shanghai, saw a big wave of people coming, and turned back.

When we returned to Green City, there was a huge group of refugees outside the city gate. All of them were wearing gray and tattered clothes, carrying torn jackets and mattresses on their backs, and holding broken pots and pans in their hands. The air was extremely polluted.

Huo Qi was driving his car and was blocked from the crowd. He frowned and asked, "Why are there so many refugees suddenly?"

In fact, after the blizzard, the common people wanted to find a mountain to settle down, just to get by during this period. After the Japanese left, they could go back to live their lives. However, with the spring plowing and the wheat seeds breaking through the soil, the snow melted, and it stopped raining, Guangliang Province has been dry for more than ten days, and the common people can hardly get a sip of water.

Soon, more refugees gathered around the car. Anyone who could drive a car these days must have a good family background and no shortage of food or water. After hesitating for a long time, someone finally stepped forward and knocked on the window cautiously: "Sir, please give me some water. The child is only three years old and hasn't had any water for three days. Please--"

A woman with a headscarf was holding a child in her arms. The child was leaning on her shoulder. His little face was pale, his lips were dry and chapped, but there was some blood around his mouth. It was obvious that the child had no water and was relying on his mother's blood to sustain his life.

After the woman knocked on the window, the surrounding refugees discovered a shortcut and instantly blocked the car.

The woman who knocked on the window at first was pressed against the glass, and the child in her arms felt the pain and started crying loudly.

However, even though her eyes were red from crying, there was no moisture at all because her body was extremely dehydrated.

Yun Chu frowned again. Huo Qi remained silent for a moment and asked, "Madam, I will drive them away."

As he spoke, he took out his pistol. They were just ordinary people. They would disperse if they were slightly intimidated.

Yun Chu closed his eyes again and nodded, "Go ahead."

The current situation in Guangliang Province is far more serious than she thought. She needs to enter the city first and then find a way to rescue them.

There was no need to worry about Huo Qi's methods. He just opened the window and fired a shot into the air, and the refugees retreated like a tide, looking at Huo Qi with horror. Being rich is one thing, but being rich with guns is another.

With the help of the pistol to intimidate, a wide road was quickly cleared in front of the car.

The refugees were crowded together, and no one dared to step forward to cause trouble, so they could only walk towards the Green City with their heads covered.

It took the car an hour to reach the gate of Green City. The gate was wide open, but because of the armed soldiers of the Huo family stationed there, a large open space was formed. There was undried blood on the ground, which must have indicated that someone had died.

As soon as Huo Qiyi stopped the car, the Huo family soldiers raised their guns one after another, and someone stepped forward and shouted, "Who are you? Get out of the car and check!"

"Madam, wait a moment." Huo Qi got out of the car and showed his face. The Huo family soldiers stationed there were stunned: "Captain Huo Qi? Didn't you and your wife go to Shanghai? Why did you come back suddenly?"

Huo Qi naturally didn't explain and asked directly: "Are Huo Er and Huo San in the city?"

Huo Jiajun nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, the situation in Guangliang Province is serious recently. The two leaders are discussing treatment strategies. The telegram should have reached the Marshal. Doesn't Leader Huo Qi know?"

Huo Qi pursed his lips, got in the car, and drove directly into the city. The common people looked at him with envy, and then the car returned to dead silence.
