Chapter 578
A team of cavalry was passing through the wasteland. Although the people on the horse had long been dirty enough to see their original look, their spirits were still excited and their eyes were still sharp.
Each of them was very excited because, they were going home!
After being out for so long, everyone misses homesome.
Chen Feng also put away his mood observing the surroundings. Yu Han was about to give birth and had to go home.
Suddenly, some ragged people came out in front of him.
Originally, ordinary people would turn around and run when they see the cavalry. They would run slowly, and they were afraid that they would be chased by the cavalry and killed.
However, these people were not afraid. When they saw the cavalry, they wanted to come over.
It is late autumn now, with the cold wind blowing, and the skin is filial and pity. The people in front of them are all wearing clothes, or cloth pieces that cannot even cover their bodies, and come over like this.
"June, give me some food!" A man raised the big flower bowl and said to a cavalryman in front.
Chen Feng frowned. This was not a good phenomenon.
Before Chen Feng could say anything, he saw Qingqing had already taken out a few copper coins and threw them into the man's big flower bowl.
"Thank you, thank you!" the man said in surprise.
Soon, the rest of the people surrounded Qingqing.
Qingqing could only take out some more and each person gave him a few, and all the talents dispersed.
Keep moving forward.
Qingqing looked at Chen Feng and finally asked carefully: "Mr. Chen, did Qingqing make a mistake just now?"
"No." Chen Feng just had an ominous premonition in his heart. Qingqing was originally a killer, but he didn't expect to become so compassionate. Could it be that he became maternal after giving birth to a child?
These refugees, unlike here, can only escape from famine. When I came from the south, I saw that the food in the north was growing quite well. It should have been a bumper year. How could refugees suddenly appear now? Hope it was just an accident.
Chen Feng thought so and continued to move forward.
Unexpectedly, the team walked less than two miles before seeing a large number of refugees surrounding them.
Just now, there are only a few, but now there are hundreds.
"Brother Feng?" Seeing this, Liu Gou'er frowned and asked Chen Feng.
In the mood of sympathizing with the weak and in the mood of being poor, Liu Gou'er really wanted to help these people. However, as Liu Gou'er improved her status, her horizons also broadened and she knew that she could stand at the height of the overall situation, so she asked Chen Feng.
"Ignore them and we rush over." Chen Feng said.
The cavalry raised their whip and saw that the horses were about to run. Suddenly, the crowd blocking in front dodged a path and watched the cavalry go away quickly without leaving a single copper plate.
Chen Feng knew that this group of refugees must have been recruited by the refugees just now. When he heard that their cavalry came over and gave them copper coins, the rest of the people wanted to ask for money. If they gave these people copper coins, then, needless to say, more people would be surrounded later. Chen Feng could rescue one or two people, but thousands of people came to ask for things for these 300 cavalrymen, and Chen Feng was not the savior.
Moreover, how did Chen Feng know whether there were people like assassins in this crowd?
Qingqing also guessed the whole story. When the horse slowed down again, Qingqing whispered to Chen Feng: "Mr. Chen, Qingqing did something wrong just now."
"You did nothing wrong." Chen Feng said when he saw Qingqing blame himself, "But this time, something strange. Qingqing, we are waiting for you here, and you go back and find a lonely refugee and ask what's going on."
If they become refugees at this time, then this winter will be difficult.
"Yes, Lord Chen." Qingqing immediately turned his horse's head and ran towards the way he had just come.
After stopping and waiting, Chen Feng felt a little nervous in his heart, as if he had guessed something.
Soon, Qingqing came back, her face looked ugly.
"What's going on?" Chen Feng asked.
"Mr. Chen, these refugees have had to beg everywhere because of the flooding of the Yellow River and destroying their homes. This winter, many people will probably freeze to death." Qingqing said.
The Yellow River is flooding? Since Tuotuo built the Yellow River a few days ago, the Yellow River has not been flooded for hundreds of years in history. Suddenly, Chen Feng's heart sank.
"Why is the Yellow River flooding again?" Chen Feng asked.
"Qingqing doesn't know this." Qingqing only asked ordinary people, and they didn't know it either.
"Let's go, let's continue to move forward." Chen Feng said.
After leaving for an hour, Chen Feng suddenly changed his mind: "Look west, let's go to Bianliang to take a look."
Just now, Chen Feng was thinking while walking. Suddenly, he realized something. He had lost a very important factor in his consideration of the northward advance: Li Siqi!
He provoked internal struggle between the two armies of Boluo Temur and Kugutemur, defeating both Boluo Temur's army, and also lost half of Kugutemur's army. From this point of view, Chen Feng's operation was very successful.
However, Chen Feng forgot another force! Li Siqi!
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, these three people were the three forces that defended the Mongols. Now, with the weakening of the power of Boluo Timur and Kugut Timur, Li Siqi's force has become the largest.
Li Siqi is definitely a restless person. So, what would he do? It is not in his interest to go to most people to participate in the battle. It is very tempting to take down Bianliang first.
Originally, Chen Feng wanted to return to Pingjiang, Yangzhou to head south from Xuzhou. Now, he had to detour west again, which would definitely waste time. However, now this is an emergency. Chen Feng wanted to do this, and Liu Gouer and others did not object.
The group of people turned westward.
The more we go west, more and more people are killed. It seems that hundreds of thousands of people are probably suffering from disaster.
Chen Feng's mood became heavier and heavier.
"Brother Feng, why did this land turn yellow?" Liu Gou'er asked suddenly.
The rest of the cavalry also discovered that the land was relatively soft and had changed color.
"That's because the Yellow River broke its mouth." Chen Feng said: "This time, someone dug it up on purpose."
It was deliberately dug out! At this time, Chen Feng was able to confirm.
In order to attack Bianliang, Li Siqi actually did such an inclusive thing!
"Brother Feng, who did it?" Liu Gou'er was surprised. He naturally knew what this meant.
"Let's go, we'll know when we arrive at Bianliang." Chen Feng said.
The cavalry and horses are coming soon, and it will be here in two days.
Before I got closer, I felt the thick mud and sand under my feet, all of which were yellow.
The trees on the roadside have already fallen around and are washed away by the flood.
The situation here is the most serious, and it is obvious that the Yellow River should have breached from here.
Qingqing stood on a poplar that had not yet collapsed and carefully observed the city in the distance with a thousand-mile mirror.
"Mr. Chen, the defenders on the city are Tartars." After coming down, Qingqing reported to Chen Feng.
This is Bianliang, the capital of Han Liner's Song Dynasty. Now, there are Tartars on the city wall here, which can only show one thing: this place has been taken down by Li Siqi's army.
Li Siqi took down Bianliang with this despicable method. Such a person would be punished by God.
Chen Feng was in his heart at this time, full of disappointment and anger for Li Siqi. If possible, Chen Feng wanted to go in now, find Li Siqi, and tear him to pieces.
However, Chen Feng knew that only three hundred people could not complete this task, and this was war.
The Tartars never regarded people as human beings. When they conquered the Central Plains, they said they were massacred. When did they blink? However, Li Siqi, a genuine Han Chinese, learned so ruthlessly after following the Mongols?
"Mr. Chen, can we enter Bianliang City? Or will Qingqing go in and investigate first?" Qingqing asked Chen Feng.
After all, this place is not as good as Dadu. In Dadu, they have enough intelligence personnel in it, and there are tunnels, and they are free to enter and exit. Later, Dadu even became Chen Feng's command.
This Bianliang is unknown to them.
If you want to enter, Qingqing will go in first and investigate and talk about it later.
Chen Feng sighed: "No need, let's talk about it when we go back to Pingjiang."
Liu Gou'er was relieved. If Lord Chen was so angry and wanted to go in and cause trouble, it would be very difficult for them to hold a firearm in their hands. It would not matter if he died, but it would still be difficult for Liu Gou'er to be unable to protect Lord Chen's safety.
Now, Chen Feng knew this, so he didn't go in and cause trouble. He sighed and chose to leave.
Just when he happily completed the operation of Dadu and returned to Pingjiang, Chen Feng saw these things again.
The depression in the heart is inevitable.
The cavalry all walked very heavily.
In fact, what Chen Feng had just said was not only sighing, but also breathed a sigh of relief.
Han Liner was taken down and there was little danger in the future. In fact, it was more beneficial to her side.
The emperors in the future must be Zhu Yuanzhang, there is no doubt about this, and Han Liner can only be a joke.
Liu Ji has made his mark and has become a strategist around Zhu Yuanzhang. As soon as this person appeared, Zhu Yuanzhang erased his superficial respect for Han Liner. Han Liner was Xiao Ming and Zhu Yuanzhang's Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, Han Liner has only one fate.
Instead of being drowned in the water and died by Liao Yongzhong like later generations, it would be better to die at the hands of the Tartars, which is a good death.
Also, these refugees are innocent. After returning to Pingjiang, they asked Shi Nai'an to send people to the north and guide these refugees to their own jurisdiction. There are also work to do in the winter in the south of the Yangtze River, and they can also help these refugees escape the severe cold of this winter. Now, I can only do so much.
