The Queen's Engineering Army

Chapter 203 A Nursery Rhyme

"My solution is to move a large number of refugees to Seoul without making a big fuss about finding refugees, and without spending excess food." Mi Yue said with a smile.

Cao Yun's eyes widened, and she couldn't believe it: "How is it possible, tell me what is the solution?"

"We can send people to the South Korean border to spread some words, telling them to go to the big Seoul in the Chuxi Mountains, where there are countless grains and fertile land."

"In this way, they will migrate by themselves in the face of hunger, and we can gather a large number of victims without any effort." Miyue smiled proudly.

Cao Yun's eyes lit up, "Miao is really a good idea."

But thinking about it in a blink of an eye, he hesitated: "If we don't provide food along the way, it is estimated that many victims will starve to death if they don't persist in the big Seoul. Wouldn't that violate the original intention of the lord?"

"Station Master, the people who starved to death along the way were old, weak, sick and children. Even if these people arrived in Seoul, they would not be of much use. This can be regarded as a screening project."

"Weed out the old, the weak, the sick, and only gather the strong refugees. Isn't this what the lord needs? If they all go, the lord is too embarrassed to drive them away, and it will cause a burden on the big Seoul. Let's do it." Mi Yue explained.

Cao Yun frowned slightly, feeling that although Mi Yue's method was useful, it was too cruel, but there was no other way at present.

After thinking about it, he nodded helplessly, "That's it, I'll send someone to do it right away."

Mi Yue showed a smug smile, if this task is done well, she will be credited with it.

"My lord, Miyue can also help out. I will make up a nursery rhyme for the children to sing, and the refugees will know it faster."

Miyue is very active and hopes to perform well in this mission.

"Okay, this plan was proposed by you. It's good for you to participate. I'll organize a team right away, and I'll set off for Yixiang immediately today." Cao Yun nodded.

Qin Han border.

For the king, a great war is an expansion of territory, but for the people, it is displacement.

It is impossible for the Qin army to attack South Korea without disturbing the people and looting.

How many people's properties were looted, and how many good women were defiled by soldiers, this is not something that can be stopped by military orders.

In ancient times, when marching and fighting, soldiers might not be able to return home for several years.

Their physical problems cannot be solved. If the soldiers are no longer allowed to have sex, the generals will not be able to lead the troops, so sometimes they turn a blind eye to this behavior of the soldiers.

There are many refugees fleeing to the big cities of various countries with their families. They don't have a precise destination, and they go wherever there is food.

"Chuxi Mountains, big Seoul, where roe deer are beaten with sticks and fish are scooped with ladles, and pheasants fly into rice pots. If you live there, you must be very happy."

At this time, many children sang this strange nursery rhyme together, which attracted the attention of many refugees.

Mi Yue taught them to sing this nursery rhyme.

Some words were learned from Su Lin, and it was a bit awkward to sing, and there were no roe deer in the Chuxi Mountains, it was just for publicity.

The children did not sing in vain. Anyone who is willing to sing this nursery rhyme will receive a piece of bread. Many children are willing to do such a simple task.

Later, they will sing more and more, even if you don’t give them bread, they will sing along, which will attract more people’s attention.

"Are you saying that what the children sang is true? Is there really such a good place where food is everywhere in the mountain?" A refugee asked in disbelief.

"It can't be wrong, anyway, we have no other place to go, so let's go there and have a look, if it's really like the nursery rhyme, we'll stay there and never come back." Another person nodded.

"Yes, I'm willing to go too, anyway, I can't live anymore, I don't believe what else can I do?"

"Yes, yes, let's go together."

Someone called everyone to go to the border of Chu State. Among these refugees, there were many spies from the Intelligence Bureau, and they were here to lead the way.

People have a herd mentality, as long as someone goes, most people will follow, after all, no one knows where to find food.

Most of the refugees in Hulala rushed to Chu State, not only the refugees, but also many ordinary people, and those who felt that their lives were poor also went to see it.

If it really sounds like the song, I plan to settle down there too.

This kind of situation is happening everywhere on the border between Qin and Han, which also reflects the superb execution ability of the Intelligence Bureau.

Not only did the people from the intelligence bureau come out of the big Seoul, but they also absorbed many local people. As long as they were given money and trained for a period of time, they would be able to serve the intelligence bureau loyally.

All the refugee waves, no matter where they are, are flocking in one direction, the big city of Seoul.

This incident also attracted the attention of the Qin military.

Qin State Lantian camp.

"Report, a large number of refugees from South Korea have poured into the border of Chu State, and few of them went to other places. There is something strange about this matter, and I am here to report it." Qin Jun waited and cupped his hands.

Meng Ao was the only one in the camp. He frowned and said, "I was originally afraid that these refugees would flood into Xianyang, so there is no need to worry now, but why did they flood into the border of Chu State? What is the reason? Have you investigated it?"

The scout said: "It seems that because of a nursery rhyme, the refugees poured into the border of Chu State."

"Oh, let me hear some nursery rhymes?" Meng Ao asked curiously.

"Chuxi Mountains, big Seoul, where roe deer are beaten with sticks and fish are scooped with ladles, and pheasants fly into rice pots. If you live there, you must be very happy."

Those who can do the job of a scout are not only good at collecting information, but also have an amazing memory. They can recite the nursery rhyme completely after listening to it once.

"Great Seoul in the Chuxi Mountain Range?" Meng Ao muttered suspiciously, a little awkward, but then his eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "So that's it, Miss Su, this move is really brilliant."

"General, should we send troops to stop it?" the scout asked.

"Block? Can you tell me about the number of these refugees?" Meng Ao asked.

"There are more than one hundred thousand people." The scout said uncertainly.

"Where do you plan to let these more than [-] refugees stop?" Meng Ao said in a deep voice.

"This..." The scout didn't know how to answer.

"Since someone has taken them in, let's stop blocking them. As long as there is no danger to us, let's go with the flow."

Meng Ao is also willing to be a favor, and he probably knows in his heart that these refugees will strengthen the power of Seoul.

But at the same time, I also hope that the city of Seoul can grow stronger. I hope that the prosperous scene that Su Lin described at that time can be seen one day sooner.

"Here."

The scout clapped his hands.

The road from Yixiang to Hancheng is very long.

It would take six or seven days to walk, during which time many people fell on the way of migration.

"Grandpa, grandpa."

"Mother, mother, wake up."

There were a lot of shouts and whines on the way the refugees fled. Many frail old people fell on the road because of hunger. It was absolutely impossible for them to complete such a long journey because of their physical strength.

This escape can also be called a knockout match, and those who can reach the finish line will survive.

And those who have not reached the end can only lie on the side of the road forever and be eliminated.

The dead can only be buried in a pit, and must be buried deep in the soil, otherwise they are likely to be dug out and eaten by hungry refugees.

In the year of war, there is no food, the hungry crowd abandons all moral bottom lines, and it is normal for people to eat people.

In this escape, most of the children saved their lives, because food in a family would be given to the children first, and some parents would even rather starve to death themselves, and give them the only food they had.

Among the more than [-] refugees, less than half of them finally arrived in Seoul, and many of them couldn't hold on and fell on the road forever
Their deaths are like worthless things, no one will remember them.
