Wei and Jin cooks

Early on the next morning, Zhao Hanzhang and Shi Le took the vanguard battalion one step ahead, while subordinate officers and deputy generals took one step behind with the army, food, grass and baggage.

In fact, if Shi Le had not wanted to cultivate a relationship with Zhao Hanzhang, as a general, he should have followed the army.

They were traveling in light vehicles, each carrying dry food, and their movement speed was much faster than that of the army. They approached Jinyang in only three days.

The place was more desolate, and there were more corpses left on the road. Zhao Hanzhang became more and more frightened as he walked, and the accompanying officials also fell silent.

Shi Le and Zhang Bin were not surprised by such a scene. Shi Le even said to Zhao Hanzhang: "Liu Yueshi took in all the refugees who took refuge regardless of their superiority or race. I heard about it when I was in Shangdang. At that time, there were people in Shangdang territory. Many Han people went to seek refuge with him, and one was very jealous after hearing this."

"There is a severe drought in Youzhou and Bingzhou, and there is a locust plague. Jinyang is surrounded by two armies. He can hold on to this day, which shows his ability. It is normal for a person like this to die."

Zhao Hanzhang nodded heavily. It was precisely for this reason that she came to Jinyang in such a hurry.

The situation in Jinyang is special. Not only are the Xiongnu attacking Jinyang, Wang Jun hates Liu Kun, so he is also trying to grab Liu Kun's territory. To the north of Jinyang is Tuoba Xianbei's Daijun.

Thinking of Dai Jun, Zhao Hanzhang felt a pain in his liver.

Liu Kun and Tuoba Yilu were sworn brothers, and Daijun was granted to Tuoba Yilu by Liu Kun. What made Zhao Hanzhang's heart hurt was that Daijun belonged to Youzhou, and Youzhou belonged to Wang Jun.

This is different from Zhao Hanzhang's granting Youzhou to Shi Le, because Zhao Hanzhang and Wang Jun had conflicts from beginning to end. He disobeyed the king's orders and took advantage of the invasion of foreign enemies, so she deprived him of the position of governor for moral reasons;

Liu Kun... Not to mention that he had no right to give away Daijun in Youzhou, Wang Jun was still kind to him, and it was a great kindness like saving his parents.

So Wang Jun was particularly angry and had been targeting Liu Kun for many years.

I have to say that Liu Kun made a bad move.

And it seemed that he was almost unable to control Tuoba Xianbei now, otherwise she would not have received news recently that Tuoba Xianbei had made any changes.

When they approached Jinyang, they felt a sense of chilling and loneliness. The scouts came back and reported: "About 20,000 Huns are surrounding the east city gate, and there are nearly 10,000 refugees staying under the city wall."

Zhao Hanzhang was surprised, "The battlefield is here, how can the refugees gather here and not disperse?"

The scout paused and then said: "They are all refugees. It seems that they have been wandering for a long time. They have reached their limit here. They are surrounding outside the city wall and approaching the south gate. They are all begging Liu Governor to open the door. They are hiding in the dark and watching. Just take a look and someone will starve to death within a few seconds."

They can no longer walk, even if they want to, Jinyang is their only hope.

Zhao Hanzhang had a look of sadness on his face, tightened the reins in his hands, and asked the people around him, "How many days will it take for the army to arrive?"

After doing the mental calculation, Fu Tinghan said: "It will take three days at the fastest. They are different from us and cannot march that fast."

Zhao Hanzhang: "Where did you leave the baggage?"

"That's how fast the baggage can be dropped."

Zhao Hanzhang pondered for a moment and then said: "Order them to put down their luggage, take three days' rations, and come here in a hurry."

Her eyes were full of indifference, "Within three days, drive out the Xiongnu and let Jinyang open the city gate."

"Wei!" The soldiers took the order and left. Zhao Hanzhang and the others found a place to camp temporarily, and then based on the information obtained by the scouts, they pondered, "There are also Huns soldiers wandering near the southern suburbs. Obviously, they want the refugees to lure away the city gate. Rush in afterwards."

This is also the reason why the Huns did not drive out or kill these refugees. It depends on whether the people in the city can withstand the pleading of the people outside the city, and they have not opened the city gate.

"We have five thousand vanguard troops, plus one thousand of my personal guards, maybe we can temporarily open the south city gate."

Shi Le did not agree with taking this risk and said: "There are so many refugees, hungry and slow in movement. How long will it take for them all to get in?"

He said: "Once this city gate is opened, it cannot be closed unless people go in and finish it."

The rushing refugees are more terrifying than the rebel army and cannot be stopped.

Zhao Hanzhang drew the map with a tap of his finger and said thoughtfully: "I can stop them for two hours."

Shi Le still shook his head, "Two hours is not enough for the refugees to enter the city."

Even Fu Tinghan said, "Refugees are uncontrollable."

Zhao Hanzhang started to pinch out the little flame in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Try to contact the city and let the army speed up."

Everyone responded.

After everyone retreated, Zhao Hanzhang still squatted in front of the map without moving. Fu Tinghan followed her. Seeing that she was staring intently, he asked: "You haven't given up yet?"

Zhao Hanzhang said: "Many famous generals in history can fight with thousands of people against ten thousand people. I'm thinking, if they were here, how would they fight this battle?"

Fu Tinghan said: "It's still different. They mainly attack, just kill and then break through. You have to defend and save these refugees."

Zhao Hanzhang asked cruelly: "What if I don't consider the refugees? I don't think about retreating from the enemy. I only focus on attacking and killing the enemy."

Fu Tinghan looked at her in surprise.

There was no trace of emotion in Zhao Hanzhang's eyes, only indifference, "The people who died on the battlefield due to my involvement may not be as many as the people who starved to death in the past three days. The only difference is that the former is my cause and effect."

But at this time, she could be hard-hearted and not care about these causes and effects.

Fu Tinghan didn't say that this was wrong or right. He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before saying, "Go and see the situation of the refugees before making a decision. Maybe they can survive these three days and the situation is not as bad as you think." ?”

Zhao Hanzhang thinks he is right. Without investigation, he has no right to speak.

So at night, she put on refugee clothes and went out with a dozen guards dressed as refugees. When she arrived at the gate of the camp, she saw Shi Le, Ming Yu and Zhang Bin waiting at the gate. Zhao Hanzhang did not expect that What's interesting is that Fu Tinghan is also there.

She silently glanced at them, and finally looked at Fu Tinghan, "Let them go, what are you doing?"

Fu Tinghan: "Help you calculate."

Zhao Hanzhang took them with him, nearly twenty of them. Among the refugees, such a number was considered a small group and not noticeable, but they were all tall and strong and had strong steps, which made them very noticeable.

But no one dared to offend them.

Everyone watched them pass by quietly. Who dared to mess with someone who was still full and strong at this time?

Zhao Hanzhang wanted to find out the situation of the refugees. It would be better if she could get information about the Xiongnu. However, she did not approach the refugee center, but walked through the periphery.

Some of the refugees gathered in one place, sitting and lying against the wall. Most of them crowded outside the South City Gate. From time to time they raised their hands and knocked on the door, hoping that the people inside would open the door and let them in. city.

A small number of them were scattered within one mile from the city gate, stretching from the south of the city to the east of the city. They did not dare to get very close to the east city gate, but they were also looking forward to something. Once the Huns entered the city, they could rush in with them.

They were about to die. Hungry was too uncomfortable. Even if they died, they wanted to eat a full meal before dying. Some people can't help but be hungry, so they will rush towards the Huns, point at them and hack them to death, which is better than slowly starving to death.

The further Zhao Hanzhang walked, the colder his heart became, and the idea in his heart became more determined.

Liu Kun was an extremely complicated person, even more complicated than Gou Xi. He was a hero with great charisma. At that time, his fame and prestige were far higher than those of his ancestors. Wang Dun was proud to be like him;

But in the end, it was Zu Ti who became a celebrity forever. It was because of some of his dirty tricks that exposed his excessive selfishness, short-sightedness and narrow-mindedness.

But in that era, his merits were higher than his faults, so he was still a hero.
