Turbulent Times Chapter 323: Refugees besiege the military camp


It's just that their big camp had just been set up, and thousands of people gathered in front of the big camp. They were all carrying simple or heavy luggage, but these people did not hurry, but gathered outside Wang Junlin's camp, clamoring loudly for Qin Anhou to come out and give everyone an explanation.

Just before thousands of people gathered in front of the camp, Yu Zimo led a group of soldiers to stop in front of the camp gate. Before the two sides clashed, Li Chengsong, the magistrate of Anning County, led a team of officials to arrive in a hurry, took a look at Yu Zimo and the barracks behind him, and then intervened between thousands of people and Yu Zimo and others.

"Fellow folks, don't make noise. I am Li Shousong, the magistrate of Anning County. Listen to me, the three counties in the north of Yongzhou were indeed affected by disasters. This is a disaster from God, and it has nothing to do with anyone. Please Folks, don't believe in rumors, do impulsive things, and end up hurting yourself. Everyone, please wait with peace of mind, the imperial court will have food relief in a few days."

The crowd was quiet for a moment, and then a cold voice came from somewhere in the crowd.

"Master Li, you are a good official, and the villagers all believe in you, but how did this natural disaster come about? It spread all over the world, because the poisonous general was too vicious, and he set fire to the mountain and burned it to death. Countless souls caused God to condemn our three counties, but caused the people of our three counties to suffer!"

There were countless voices of echo from the crowd: "That's right, that devil destroys humanity, why does he implicate us? Why are we poor people innocent?"

Li County magistrate and a dozen or so officials behind him suddenly changed their colors, squinted their eyes and straightened up, trying their best to search the crowd for the person who spoke just now, but finding a person who deliberately lowered his head to speak among thousands of people is no different. Yu searched for a needle in a haystack, but failed for a long time, but the crowd's anger gradually increased, and a conflict with Wang Junlin's soldiers was about to happen.

Yu Zimo and the others, who had been standing silently at the back all this time, also changed their expressions.

"We have never had a snow disaster in Yongzhou. The poisonous general set fire to the mountain and killed countless people. That's why he caused the punishment from God. As long as he dies, the natural disaster will naturally dissipate." Before Li Chengsong could say anything, the crowd Someone in the room spoke again. Thousands of people in the dark crowd didn't know where the voice came from. Just after the words were finished, some people who were still hesitating nodded in agreement.

"Yes, the old man has lived in Jincheng County for more than 50 years, and he has never seen such a long period of heavy snowfall, and the sun is still invisible in spring. This is not a sin from God. What is it? If the government really cares about us The life and death of the common people will capture and kill this devil who has lost all conscience, made people miserable, aroused the wrath of God, and brought natural disasters to our Yongzhou."

"Dear folks, you have been used..."

Before Li Chengsong finished speaking, the cold voice from the crowd interrupted him: "Does the county magistrate mean that we are all fools? We only know that the devil-like poisonous general did what he did." , As a result, we suffered a disaster. Now we are all about to starve to death. If you still tell us these words, do you know that the bark and grass roots near Jincheng are almost eaten up? Grab a handful of snow on the ground and fill it up, and wait a few more days, will the imperial court be willing to see our corpses strewn all over the field?"

"Yes, we want to see the devil and see what he looks like."

"See if he is still a human being, and whether he still has humanity."

As soon as the hesitant people were incited by this sentence, they suddenly clamored and agreed. Thousands of black crowds began to move forward again. The county magistrate and a dozen officials couldn't stop them. In front of a group of soldiers led by Yu Zimo.

"Get out!" Yu Zimo shouted suddenly, like a thunder on the ground, all the refugees jumped and stopped.

As the fish roe burst out silently, the soldiers drew their swords one after another, and the common people let out an exclamation, with frightened faces on their faces, and retreated a few steps involuntarily.

"Don't be afraid, they dare not kill people. If you don't see that devil today, you will starve to death sooner or later. There are so many of us, as long as he has a little conscience, we can force him to confess. And as long as he Plead guilty, the government will question him, and those nobles and landlords will feed us with food." Someone in the crowd shouted loudly again, and thousands of refugees were incited to move forward again.

After all, Yu Zimo is young, and he is not afraid of anyone on the battlefield, but he really doesn't know how to deal with this kind of battle, and according to Wang Junlin and Xu Jingzong's previous analysis, the refugees were really instigated to come , The ultimate goal is to let the soldiers under Wang Junlin's command clash with these refugees, and then kill some people, making the matter completely worse.

Feeling a little nervous, Yuzi couldn't help but look at the two inconspicuous refugees surrounded by a dozen or so refugees in the crowd.

One of the refugees, with eyes as bright as a star, nodded at Yuzi silently. Yuzi silently remembered Wang Junlin's previous confession, and with a wave of his hand, he led three thousand soldiers and horses to evacuate directly to the side of the camp. Thousands of refugees rushed into the empty camp.

There was no one in the camp, and there was nothing there, and the refugees got nothing, but seeing that the legendary poisonous general was scared away by himself and others, and these soldiers really didn't dare to hurt them, the arrogance grew even stronger Arrogant, and a little more confident.

However, some of the refugees saw that there was no conflict between the two sides, and there were no dead people, but they were very sorry, so someone in the crowd shouted loudly: "The devil is hiding, we burned their camp, Force that devil out."

"That's right, burn down their camp." Immediately, someone began to echo loudly.

Then someone lit a fire with a torch and lit the tent.

The soldiers around Yuzimo were in a commotion, but Yuzimo yelled at them loudly, and the soldiers regained their composure. They led their horses and watched these refugees burn down their camp.

Seeing that the camp was almost burned, Yu Zi gave an order silently, and the three thousand troops got on their horses and left. Their direction was no longer Jincheng, but Zhangye County, more than two hundred miles to the west. , which is the Shabeng Pass guarded by Li Congrui and Shangguan Hu.

Anning county magistrate Li Chengsong led a group of officials to watch with the same cold eyes, but he looked carefully at the three thousand soldiers several times and found that Wang Junlin was not among them. And those who raised trouble among the refugees probably knew Wang Junlin, or had a portrait of Wang Junlin in their hands, so they naturally searched for it among the soldiers.

While seeing three thousand soldiers leaving just like that, no matter whether it was the thousands of refugees or Li Chengsong, they were caught off guard.
