At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 351
Gao Bufan, Yang Qingruo and others rushed to Linqing Pass overnight, saying that this Linqing Pass is not the current Linqing in Shandong, but is located in Xinxiang, Henan, at the junction of Ji County and Hanoi County. From Liyang to attack Luoyang, although Linqingguan is not the only way to pass, it is the best way to cross the Yellow River.As the saying goes, speed is the most important thing in soldiers, if Yang Xuangan wanted to get to Luoyang City as quickly as possible, he would definitely choose to pass through Linqing Pass.

Let's say Gao Bufan and the others had been on the road all night, and they had already entered Ji County in the early morning, because they were exhausted, and not far ahead was Ji County, the county seat of the county, so they planned to rest in the city to feed their horses, and get some supplies before going on the road. When I came to the city, I saw a large number of people rushing excitedly to Ji County. Some were carrying cloth bags, some were carrying baskets, all of them looked excited.

Gao Bufan stopped an old man picking baskets and asked: "Old man, everyone is rushing to the city so happily, but what's the good thing?"

This old man must have been dizzy. When others saw Gao Bufan and others riding tall horses and carrying weapons, they all walked away from a distance. Only he passed by carrying baskets and was stopped by Gao Bufan He didn't panic when he asked the question, he grinned and said with a few teeth missing: "Good thing, great thing, our Juncheng has opened a warehouse to release food, and everyone is rushing to get the food!"

Yang Qingruo couldn't help frowning her black eyebrows like distant mountains, and asked: "Shouldn't it be the county guard's duty to release food for disaster relief? Why is the county magistrate releasing food?"

The old man smacked his mouth and said, "The sheriff? Are you talking about Zhou Zuoren? Hey, I heard that he was killed by Juncheng Zhao. Yang Chugong rebelled in the Liyang warehouse to release grain. Zhao Juncheng responded to the call and killed the sheriff of Zhou and went to join Yang Chugong. Now Was named the governor of Weizhou by Yang Chugong... oh, I can't chat with you anymore, the old man has to rush to get the food, I'm afraid he won't be gone if he goes too late."

After the old man finished speaking, he swung his old arms and legs and ran forward!

The deacon Sun Shangming raised his ax and said angrily, "Zhao Huaiyi, the Prime Minister of Jijun County, has rebelled, so my subordinates rushed into the city to kill this rebel."

Yang Qingruo hurriedly stopped and said: "Don't make troubles, Zhao Huaiyi has rebelled, and there is no room for loss at Linqingguan, we have to hurry there!"

Gao Bufan glanced back at the exhausted crowd, shook his head and said, "Qing Ruo, as the saying goes, haste makes waste, everyone had a fight yesterday, and they drove all night, they are sleepy and hungry, if you continue I'm afraid people and horses won't be able to bear it if we force our way, so let's rest first!"

Although Yang Qingruo was very anxious, but he also knew that the emperor was not short of hungry soldiers, so he nodded helplessly and sent an order to go down and rest in place.

Gao Bufan comforted in a warm voice: "There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge. Qingruo, you can rest for a while. I'll go get some food."

Yang Qingruo's heart warmed up, and she asked curiously, "Where do you go to get food?"

Gao Bufan laughed and said: "Isn't the city releasing grain? Naturally, I went to the city to get the grain. Don't waste it." After speaking, he asked Captain Chi Jingde and a dozen brothers from Yingyang Mansion to walk to the gate of Ji County go.

"Be careful, don't be brave, if something goes wrong, run out of the city!" Although knowing that Gao Bufan's martial arts is more than enough to escape, Yang Qingruo was still a little worried, and quickly walked a few steps to catch up and warned in a low voice.

When Yang Qingruo appeared in the identity of Hanyue, she was always as cold as frost, and her speech was still thorny, with a typical hard mouth and soft heart, but when she appeared in the appearance of Gongsun Yingxiu, she was full of elegance, smiling and feasting like a spring breeze in March, but It was the first time that she spoke so softly like now, and it felt so real.

Gao Bufan's gaze met Yang Qingruo's beautiful eyes full of concern, and he couldn't help feeling warm in his heart. He nodded and smiled, "Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

Let’s say that Gao Bufan, Yuchi Jingde and others mixed in among the common people and came outside the city of Ji County, and found that the city gate was heavily guarded, and ordinary people were not allowed to enter the city. To receive food, as long as they are "strong" men, they will be arranged to enter the city after receiving the food. It is said that there is still money to receive it, but women and the elderly do not have this kind of treatment. After receiving some food, they can only leave.

Gao Bufan and Yuchi Jingde knew what was going on as soon as they saw it. It was obvious that they were catching young men in the name of releasing food. This kind of tactic is actually very low-level. I believe many people know it well, but they probably are starving. Knowing that it is a fire pit, they can only jump forward, or most people are voluntary. After all, it is better to be caught as a strong man than to starve to death.

"Lord Gao, what should we do now?" Yuchi Jingde asked in a low voice.

Gao Bufan laughed and said, "We're queuing up to get the food, we're civilized people, hey, brother, please forgive me!"

"Who are you, why did you jump in the queue!" the farmer who was cut in by the civilized man Gao Dashao shouted angrily.

Gao Bufan pointed to Yuchi Jingde, who was tall and full of beards, and said, "This is our boss, brother, if you have any opinions, you can talk to him?"

Yuchi Jingde couldn't help laughing, but he also glared very cooperatively, clenched his fists and said viciously, "What's wrong? Let's chat?"

Facing Yuchi Jingde who was like Zhong Kui, the man faltered immediately, bowed his head and did not dare to make a sound.Yuchi Jingde stood behind Gao Bufan, and said harshly: "Brothers are all standing here, whoever dares to fart, I will crush his yolk!"

Dozens of government soldiers suppressed a smile and stuffed their foreheads behind Yuchi Jingde, and the people in the back row dared not speak out.

After waiting for about half a stick of incense, it was finally Gao Bufan's turn. When the clerk in charge of food distribution saw Gao Bufan and a dozen strong men, his eyes lit up. Said: "Come here, kid, it's your turn!"

Gao Bufan stepped forward and said with a smile: "Master, I'm here to call Chen Ergou, there are six people in the family, can you give me more food?"

Yuchi Jingde, who was following behind, almost fell over. This Gao Mujian was so fierce on the battlefield that people could not speak.

The little official rolled his eyes strangely and said, "Each person can only get one grain. Since there are six people in your family, let them pick it up by themselves. Hey... Didn't you bring something to pack the grain?"

Gao Bufan shook his head and said, "I forgot to bring it, don't you have sacks, just give me one." After speaking, he pointed to the pile of grain.

The little official was amused: "You kid is dreaming and didn't wake up. This bag of wheat weighs a stone. I'll give it all to you?"

Gao Bufan said with a "simple smile": "It's okay, I can handle it!"

Everyone couldn't help but fall, the little official was even more speechless, Gao Bufan immediately shouted happily: "The official agrees, one sack per person!" After speaking, he turned around and left with a bag.

The little official couldn't help being dumbfounded, and hurriedly jumped up and screamed strangely: "When did I agree, that kid..."

Before the little official could finish speaking, Yuchi Jingde had already kicked the table and the little official to the ground, carried two sacks of grain and turned around and left. The food ran away, and shouted loudly: "My lord said, one sack of food per person, first come, first served, while supplies last!"

This is terrible, the people in the back row didn't know what to do, seeing that Gao Bufan and the others were really leaving with a big bag of food, they immediately rushed to grab the food, the scene was in chaos, and those officers and soldiers who were responsible for maintaining order Trying to stop it, the result was rushed to pieces by countless hungry people, and they could only run around like rats, and if they ran slower, they might be trampled to death.

Gao Bufan, Yuchi Jingde and others ran away carrying food, and when they looked back, they found that the gate of the city had become a mess. It's easy!

All the government soldiers couldn't help laughing, they looked at Gao Bufan with nothing but admiration, grandma, it's a joy to work with Mr. Gao!
When Yang Qingruo saw that Gao Bufan and the others actually brought back more than a dozen bags of food, he couldn't help being slightly surprised, and asked, "These food...you all received it?"

Gao Bufan nodded and smiled, "Of course I got it, or else you thought it was stolen?"

All the government soldiers suddenly laughed!
Yang Qingruo naturally didn't believe it, but there was no pursuer behind Gao Bufan and the others, and it really didn't look like they were robbed!
