Three Kingdoms Star System

Chapter 239

After leaving the earth mountain, Liu He ordered the lieutenant soldiers to dig the earth mountain, fill up the ravines, and clean the battlefield. After everything was completed, he ordered the lieutenant soldiers to set up camp outside the city.

In fact, Lu Su and others were worried about Liu He's safety and hoped that Liu He could bring a large army into the city. However, Liu He considered that the people in the city had already been victimized by Gongsun Zan. If he brought a large army into the city, it would definitely cause panic. Besides, as long as Liu He has this thousand white scorpion army in his hands, even if the other party comes with tens of thousands of troops, he can leave safely, and the safety issue is not a problem at all.

After Liu He's explanation, those who were worried about Liu He's safety could only accept Liu He's approach, advised Liu He to be careful, and then sent Liu He into the city.

With Gongsun Zan's death, all the defenders in Tuyin City also fled, so there was no one here to guard the city gate at all. The city gate, which looked very impressive, was pushed open by Liu He casually.

After that, Liu He led his sergeants into the city, but he frowned as soon as he reached the street, because there were actually many people sleeping on the street. You must know that it is October in the cold winter, and it is in the north. The howling north wind is blowing, even if it is You would be shivering from the cold at home, let alone on the streets?
At this moment, Liu He heard a very weak cry, which sounded like a baby, but the sound was weak, which proved that the baby was either hungry or cold.

Liu He hurried over following the sound, and sure enough, he saw that it was a baby, his little face was purple from the cold, his body was wrapped in a layer of cotton cloth (not cotton cloth, there was no cotton in the big man at that time), and he was covered with a linen gown , next to a young man shirtless, it should be the baby's father took off the only clothes on his body to protect the child from the cold.

However, in such cold weather, this thin linen clothing was of no use at all. It was estimated that in two hours at most, the father and son would freeze to death.

"Brother, why don't you stay at home, but sleep on the street instead? Look, how frozen is the child?" Liu He said as he took off the sackcloth and put it on the young man, and at the same time took off the skin on his body. Cover the child with a robe.

"This official, villain, villain, let's go now." The young man's face showed a touch of emotion, but he didn't dare to accept Liu He's robe seriously, and was about to take it off and give it to Liu He, but when he thought of himself His son was about to freeze to death, and he felt a little bit reluctant for a while.

Liu He waved his hands and said with a smile: "No need, I will give this leather robe to this child. You don't have to be afraid, I am not Gongsun Zan's general. Gongsun Zan is already dead. The fire a few hours ago was the result of the fire." He let it go, he hid himself in that gorgeous palace and burned himself to death."

Then he saw Chen Dao who was beside Liu He and said, "This is General Liu He, the commander of Sili School, Bingzhou Mu, Youzhou Mu, and Hussar General. He is the son of Liu Yu, the former Youzhou Mu. My lord is the most benevolent and has always been the most benevolent. Love the people like your own children, big brother, he said he gave this leather robe to you, so he gave it to you. It’s too cold, so don’t put it off. Put it on your child quickly. I’d say, it’s such a cold day. , why do you live on the street? Are you from outside?"

"It turns out to be Mr. Liu, please accept my respects from this villain." After the young man finished speaking, he immediately said with tears: "Sir, this general, you don't know something. This villain is a local. As for why he is sleeping on the streets. , all this was given by Gongsun Zan. In order to prevent the envoys from attacking his city, Gongsun Zan ordered the construction of earth mountains and tall buildings outside the city. To achieve this goal, he demolished all the houses in the city and built walls with earth to block bows and arrows. , used thatch and wood to build tall buildings for him, and the unused wood was made into city defense equipment. Now the homes of the little people are already an open space, and living there is no different from living on the street. The weather has been warm these days, and the little people can bear it. However, in the past two days, the north wind has gradually picked up, and the weather has gradually turned colder. But my mother-in-law gave birth to a baby last night, and she caught the cold and died. The little people have no choice but to put this child away. He took off his linen clothes to protect his son from the cold, but the villain knew that this linen clothes could not block the cold wind at all. If the envoy had not given this linen clothes, it is estimated that my father and son would have followed my mother-in-law tonight. "

"This hateful Gongsun Zan treats the people like this! This is really in line with what Confucius said, tyranny is fiercer than a tiger!" Liu He couldn't help but clenched his fists and cursed loudly: "Gongsun Zan, the dog thief!" , the people are innocent, what is the crime? It’s so far!”

Then he said to the young man: "All of this is caused by peace, and the people of Hecheng have suffered such a catastrophe. Please take the children to find a shelter from the wind, and immediately order the soldiers to cut down trees and light bonfires to save the people. Let them keep warm, wait until tomorrow, and order them to build houses for the people in the city and provide food for the people in the city, so that everyone can survive first."

"Thank you so much, envoy, for your great kindness and kindness. All the people in our city will not forget it. My dear, did you hear your spirit in heaven? We are saved, and you can leave with peace of mind."

The young man hugged the child, kowtowed to Liu He and wept.

Liu He hurriedly ordered people to help the young man up, and at the same time ordered people to gather the people and announced his policy to the people. Immediately after that, he sent Pan Feng to the camp and ordered Pan Feng to take five thousand soldiers to cut down trees overnight. At the same time, he ordered Xun You to send [-] hu of grain, and first cook a pot of hot porridge for the people, so that the people can have a hot meal.

At this time, an old man in the crowd said: "Your Majesty sent your army officers to cut firewood all night for us, so do we just wait to be used? All men who can move will go with the old man to chop firewood in the forest outside the city. , even if we can’t chop it without a hatchet, can we help the sergeants lift it?”

"Mr. Wu is right. Let's all do it together. It's rare for Commander Liu to be so kind and righteous to us. How can we not repay Chicheng's kindness? Come on, let's go chop wood together."

"Yes, let's go together."

The common people responded one after another, and went to the dense forest with the old man Wu to help the soldiers chop firewood. After a short time, clusters of bonfires rose in the city, although these clusters of bonfires were not as big as the big fire during the day, But it has a completely different meaning. The fire during the day burned away the sins, while the bonfire at night warmed the hearts of the people. This means that from now on, the people in the whole city will desperately serve Liu He. There are mountains of swords and seas of fire, and they never frown.

"The porridge is ready, everyone has lined up, let's eat porridge together." Under the firelight, the people ate the fragrant rice porridge and danced cheerfully, as if they were celebrating something.
