Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 445

And just when Qilu land was full of harvest and joy, on the other side of Nigu village in Cangzhou, the influx of refugees made officials from the north and the south troubled their brains.

It is already September at this time, although there is no snow in Nanjing Road, but the cold wind is coming, which is the breath of winter.

Sixty or seventy miles north of Nigu Village, on the banks of the Zhushui River, a dilapidated small temple stands alone on a small bare mound.

Under the mound, scattered horses, soldiers with disheveled armor, and even large groups of people.The former has about 500 people, and the latter may have four or five times as many as the former.Crowded and leaning against the flickering bonfire, they scolded their mothers while stretching out their hands on the fire to keep warm.It was raining lightly, very small, but very damp and cold.

A burly general, wearing a Wen Shanjia and a burqa over the armor, stood under the eaves of the small temple, like a stone sculpture, looking at the south motionlessly.In the night, the cold wind was blowing on his face, but it couldn't move him in the slightest.

As one of the eight commanders of the Resentment Army, Guo Yaoshi has appeared on the ever-changing stage of Liao, Song and Jin Dynasties for a long time, although he is still just an inconspicuous small role.

Khitan formed the resentment army, with the original intention of using these Liao people who had left their homes to resist the Jurchen.It's like the Beifu Army in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.It's a pity that the resentment army's performance was not as brilliant as the Khitan people expected when they formed them. On the contrary, since the battle of Lili Mountain, the resentment army has become a problem for the Khitan.Its leader Dong Xiaochou led the army to plunder Qianzhou. It can be said that if it were not for the help of Dong Xiaoclown, the Jin army would not have been so easy to take advantage of the victory and occupy Cheng, Yi, Hao, Wei, Xian, Qianzhou and other states.That is to say, the latter is now occupied by the Jurchens, otherwise, this matter will never stop.

The Liao State then dismantled the Resentment Army, but did not give enough resources to the various units of the Resentment Army, so that there were many rebels in the battalions under it.

Emperor Tianzuo used Jinwuwei General, Donglu Commander Yelu Yujian, and King Xi to return to Libao and fight hard. During the period, Dong Xiaoclown was executed because of the failure of the conquest and rebellion, so his subordinates Luo Qinghan and Dong Zhongsun led the army to rebel.After Yeluyu saw He Huili Baoping put down the rebellion, he said angrily: "A year ago, Dong Jun rebelled and plundered Ganzhou, and he has been recruited for security; before he saw the rebellion again, he attacked prefectures and counties. If our army doesn't come, If the city is broken, tens of thousands of residents will be killed. The so-called resentful army failed to repay the Jin people, but repeatedly resented and rebelled against my family. If we take advantage of the disarmament and send troops to cover up and kill them all, we will never suffer from future troubles." Agree, thinking that "there are also those who are loyal and loyal for a while, how can we kill them all?"

Guo Yaoshi was one of the few people in the right team in the resentment army, so not only was he not punished, but he got some benefits. He gained a certain amount of trust from Khitan, and was transferred from Zhongjing Road to Nanjing Road.

Compared with the Jurchens in Liaodong and the rioters in Zhongjing Road, the refugees in Nanjing Road are simply a good opponent.He even found a good way to get rich from it.

Guo Yaoshi's complexion is dark and his skin is rough, if he is placed in front of the old man from five years ago, no one will recognize him.He was born in a family in Tiezhou, Liaodong, and he was not a rude soldier ignorant of current affairs. In fact, all of the commanders of the eight camps of the resentful army came from a family in Liaodong. Another look.

At this moment, Guo Yaoshi's face was covered with a ruthless expression of a person who has experienced many battles. This is an expression that treats human life as nothing.Because along the way, he has seen too many deaths.

Behind him is a flag.The flag was soaked in the rain, hanging feebly under the eaves of the corridor.A gust of cold wind was blowing, and it could barely be seen that the word "Guo" was written on it.

Boshui is the Ji Canal of later generations, extending from Jizhou to the sea.Although there are twists and turns and twists and turns along the way, the water surface is far from shallow and short as in later generations, and it has not been damaged by the Tangshan Earthquake and affected by land subsidence in 76. Its flow capacity is still good.

At least, here is the best place Guo Yaoshi can find a good place to stay.

Because of the twists and turns of the river, there are many swamps and harbors along the way. The water gathers and nourishes each other, and the water veins are connected. There are countless lakes and lakes, attracting gulls and birds to sing after them. It is also rich in lake fish, shrimps and crabs. Even if you thread a net on the ice in winter, you can still make a lot of money; in addition, the lush reeds on both sides of the river tightly protect both sides of the winding river, resisting wind and rain, and it is an excellent haven.When a group of them enter here, they can get maximum protection of water, food, and warmth. Medicine Master Guo also does his best.

What he is worried about now is whether that person will come as promised.

Compared to the last time when they suddenly appeared and bought thousands of captives from Guo Yaoshi, this time he brought tens of thousands.There are five other camps of his within a radius of twenty miles.So many people stationed in one place does too much harm.

Drinking water and defecation, and even eating fish and shrimp Pugen are all problems.It's better to spread out.

But the people here are the most valuable among the tens of thousands of refugees. Among them are scholars and officials, as well as blacksmiths, coppersmiths, cobblers, and carpenters.According to the price of the last 'buy and sell', the price of these people is not cheap. Even though those scholars and officials are the sons of small families and small officials, they are afraid that they can exchange for two or three hundred shi of grain.There are tens of thousands of people in one place, as long as the price remains the same, they can be exchanged for hundreds of armors, and thousands of spears, swords, axes and shields.Of course, you can also get valuable food, canned food, dried fish, etc.

This figure, Guo Yaoshi has been calculating and calculating in the past few days.

Although for Guo Yaoshi, he would rather not have iron armor, a spear and a heavy axe, but would rather get more food, and he would not even want more expensive canned food, dried fish and so on.

Guo Yaoshi, who has tasted the taste of hunger, clearly knows a truth - as long as there is a bite to eat, an army can be maintained, and as long as the army is there, everything is possible.

That day, he used his own money to buy food from the city, so that he calmed down the crowd and led his men to stand in the right team, so that he could hit the good days now.

Although his men were still poorly equipped, and although they were still hungry, at least they had supplies from the Liao Kingdom to maintain the team.Compared with the hard times when I was in Chukyo, I am happy right now.

The hungry and frightened Pharmacist Guo hopes to get food more. Only when he has enough food in his hands will he consider swords, guns and armor.But it's a pity that he can only exchange half of the points of the transaction amount for food. This is the person's rule.

It was raining continuously in the sky, and the cold wind was blowing, blowing on the already soaked burqa, it looked very cold and made people shiver.Whether they were cavalrymen or refugees, most of them wore thin, dirty and ragged clothes. They huddled together in groups of three or four, wrapping their tattered clothes tightly.Someone was talking in a low voice, someone was staggering, and had already fallen asleep.

At this time, several fast horses came all the way from the north.The sound of horseshoes broke the silence of the hills. Hearing the sound of horseshoes, Guo Yaoshi took a deep breath and sprayed out a puff of white mist.

After a while, the sound of horseshoes got closer, and then a small group of people appeared among the sparse bushes.

There were only six cavalry in this team, and the leader was Guo Chang, the nephew of Guo Yaoshi's family. "Uncle, they're here, they're here. There are many big ships on the sea. This Mr. Shi was sent by them."

Hearing the exact answer, Guo Yaoshi's eyebrows stretched.The surrounding guards also showed joy on their faces, and the misery of the long-distance march dissipated in an instant.

Once born, twice acquainted, and three times friends.They said in Nanjing, they dared not say anything else, quietly gathered some refugees and bought them for each other, wouldn't that be easy to catch?

The price given by the other party was low, even very low. In peacetime, even the humblest slave could only buy a thigh with that little money, but their cost was lower, right?The prefectural and county governments in Nanjing Road, when they saw them gathering refugees, did not pay any attention to them.Guo Yaoshi led the team with tens of thousands of refugees to the south of Jizhou, but the Khitan man questioned him.

Shi Xiu had already jumped off his horse, and the soldiers around him were not in his eyes. There were two battalions of sailors led by Ruan Xiaowu on the sea, and one of them was a newly formed marine battalion.Regardless of the size of the numbers, the Liangshan army must have won the fight.Guo Pharmacist Department is not a threat in his eyes.Shi Xiu looked more at the people around him. Looking around from the earth hill, he could see numb faces under the dim fires.

Perhaps this place is near the sea, the wind blows a lot, so many people gathered here, Shi Xiu didn't even smell the bad smell.

"This is General Guo, right? In Xiashixiu, Tim is the deputy leader of this transaction, and I have met the general."

"Mr. Shi." A flash of light flashed in Guo Yaoshi's eyes. Shi Xiu's dismounted posture showed his skill, and Saburo's temperament was too extroverted, and he didn't look like a businessman in his robe.

But this is not important, what is important is the next transaction.

Hearing that Yaoshi Guo had set up such a camp, and there were five more in the area not far away, he really brought tens of thousands of refugees, which made Shi Xiu look surprised. "Only [-] people have crossed south from Nigu Village so far, and the Khitan people are so tight. But General Guo brought tens of thousands of people at one time, which is really smaller than that group of birds. Shi Xiu is happy."

Flower sedan chairs are carried by people.Shi Xiuhao has gone through many business transactions between the North and the South, and even though she has a blunt personality, it's not because she doesn't know the slightest bit about human affairs.Guo Yaoshi was straightforward in making friends, and he didn't procrastinate at all. He didn't ask for money and food first, so Shi Xiu naturally had a good face.Nearly [-] men and women, it is inevitable that some of them are sick, but the proportion is not high, which shows that people are not cruel, Shi Xiu is even more happy.

"Khitan people don't treat Liaodong Han children as human beings. I, Guo Yaoshi, was born in Liaodong. If I treat him like a horse, how can I be a human?" Guo Yaoshi asked someone to bring wine and meat to entertain Shi Xiu.Holding a bowl of wine, he said: "Sir, I don't even need to know where you are. Guo has heard the name of the king of Qi for a long time, and he spreads benevolence and righteousness to Haiyu. Who dares to disrespect him. I don't want to start this kind of deceitful deed today, and I will meet the stone." Sir, it is very fortunate for the pharmacist to know the face of the heroes of the Central Plains!"

"Qi and Lu are rich and prosperous, but no one in the north doesn't know about it. Tens of thousands of men and women stayed in the north. This year's cold winter has passed, and it will be seven to eight in ten. But even if they go to the south, even if they have to suffer, Guo also thinks that the King of Qi Kindness will definitely show them a way to survive. Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. A pharmacist fights on the battlefield, and there are countless souls under his men, and here he comes to make atonement. Besides, a certain can win the Central Plains group, so that his brothers will also be happy , This kills three things with one stroke, nothing more than this."

Shi Xiu was overjoyed when he heard this, and passed such words to Ruan Xiaowu's ears, telling him in his heart: "This is my elder brother's special order, I want me to look at this guy coldly, I thought he was a picky bird, I don't want to It's like a man."

Lu Qian didn't get the word out because he couldn't just tell Ruan Xiaowu that this Guo Yaoshi was rebellious, and he was another "family slave with three surnames".
