The last three kingdoms

Chapter 1229 I don't know why

There are more than 20 girls and young children rescued alone. They are poorly clothed and suffering from hunger and cold. Many of them have died on the road, and many more have suffered from frostbite and their lives are dying.Luo Shang, Fu Zhao and others had to take out some clothes and food first, and donate temporarily.

However, the characters of these refugees are too huge, Luo Shang, Fu Zhao and others are helpless, so they have to report to Liu Yin.

Liu Yin was slightly relieved when he heard that the Sixth Cavalry Army pursued and rescued more than 20 refugees. After all, his goal was achieved.

Huang Chong was a little surprised and said: "I didn't expect that things would go so smoothly, these Xianbei people would show kindness, and they didn't kill these people?"

The Xianbei people were extremely brutal. After entering the Central Plains, they burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil. Before this pursuit, Huang Chong was worried that even if the Han soldiers caught up, the Xianbei people would jump over the wall and kill innocent civilians, but he did not expect these Xianbei It is really strange that people have shown great kindness and never actively hurt anyone.

Liu Yin smiled slightly and said: "Let the Xianbei people show kindness, unless the sun hits the west. The reason why they are willing to let go of these people is completely for another purpose. For the Xianbei people, these 20 people are theirs." rations, but after being thrown to us, it will become a hot potato. Think about it, 20 people, that is 20 mouths, and now Youzhou, which is thousands of miles away, can feed these 20 people?"

Huang Chong nodded and said: "Well, this is indeed a difficult problem. The supply of food and grass for our army is already very difficult. Now that there are a sudden increase of 20 refugees, it is difficult to watch them starve to death! "

Liu Yin said in a deep voice: "No matter how difficult it is, we must overcome it. Since we rescued them from the clutches of the Xianbei, we must not ignore their lives. From today onwards, the rations of all armies will be halved. The allocated grain will be used to help these people, and we will also inform Jizhou and Bingzhou to increase some grain and grass, and we must first ensure that we can survive this winter.”

Huang Chongdao: "The problem of food is secondary. The most important thing now is that these refugees lack warm clothes. Now that winter is approaching, the weather in Youzhou is much colder than that in Central Plains. Just let them sit in tents , couldn’t resist the severe cold at all, and when Xianbei withdrew, all the cities and villages were burned down, and the land of Youzhou was scorched, how to resettle these people is the biggest problem.”

Liu Yin also frowned. He also knew that the coldness in Youzhou was far worse than that in the Central Plains, especially during the coldest winter, when the dripping water turned into ice, these refugees lacked clothing and food. It was definitely not easy to survive this winter. The thing is, the biting cold wind can almost blow into the bones of a person, without thick walls, just a thin layer of tents, it is difficult to block the cold wave.

But when the Xianbei retreated, they burned almost all the houses, with the purpose of forcing the Han army who had no shelter to leave Youzhou. Now that there are more than 20 refugees, the problem of accommodation has suddenly become more acute. highlighted.

"It seems that we really need to find a way..." Liu Yin whispered to himself.

It has been two years since Ji County was under siege, and food and aid were exhausted. If Liu Hong, the governor of Youzhou, had not vowed to stick to it, Ji County might have fallen already.

As the state capital of Youzhou, the defense system of Jixian City is extremely complete. The Xianbei people attacked many times, but they were unable to break through the city.

After Ji County was reduced to an isolated island, there was no food and grass inside, no reinforcements outside, and there was no hope of survival at all.

The whole city was in mourning, and everyone was in deep despair. Only Liu Hong was firm in his belief and would not surrender to the death.Because Liu Hong knew the brutality of the Xianbei people, once the city was destroyed, no one, man, woman, old or young in the city would be able to survive, and the Xianbei people would definitely use the massacre of the city to vent their anger.

Rather than sacrifice the city and die, it is better to persevere until the end. If the Xianbei want to take Jixian, they must first step on Liu's corpse.

Under the leadership of Liu Hong, the soldiers and civilians of Jixian County are united as one, trying to protect Jixian County. Together with the two cities of Changli and Changli, they became the last three fortresses of Youzhou.

Even if he is fully prepared, there will be a day when the food and grass in the city will be exhausted. Liu Hong is also facing a huge test, that is, how to survive this winter.

Just when heavy snow was covering Jixian County, Liu Hong suddenly received a report from his soldiers: "Report to the governor, the Xianbei people have withdrawn their troops!"

After hearing the news, Liu Hong was startled, and hurried to the city to wait and see. Sure enough, the Xianbei army that had surrounded Ji County had already moved away. This unimaginable scene made Liu Hong wonder if there was something wrong with his eyes.

To be honest, Ji County is really at the end of its strength, and it is very likely that this winter will not be able to survive. Now that the Xianbei army has suddenly withdrawn, everyone in Ji County is very surprised and cheers excitedly.

On the contrary, Liu Hong is more calm and rational. He really can't think of any reason for the Xianbei people to withdraw their troops. Could it be that the Xianbei people are playing hard to catch?So Liu Hong did not leave the city easily, but ordered the army to still guard the city, and at the same time sent scouts to investigate the reason.

Before the scout came back, he welcomed Zhang Hua who was stationed in Yuyang.Zhang Hua stayed in Youzhou after being demoted by Sima Yan to serve as the governor of Youzhou. However, his relationship with Liu Hong was irreversible, and he was highly regarded by Liu Hong. After the death of Yuyang prefect, Zhang Hua temporarily took over Yuyang As the prefect, he sticks to Yuyang to guard against Xianbei.

Because Yuyang was besieged by Xianbei like Jixian in the past two years, there was no communication between the two cities, and Liu Hong didn't know the specific situation in Yuyang, only that Yuyang was still holding on.

Now that Zhang Hua came to Ji County suddenly, Liu Hong was overjoyed, and quickly opened the city gate to welcome Zhang Hua into the city.

"Brother Maoxian, I finally saw you. I thought we would never see each other again."

Zhang Hua said with a slight smile: "To each other, if the Xianbei people hadn't withdrawn this time, I'm afraid we really can only meet in Huangquan again."

Liu Hong asked: "Brother Mao, do you know why Murong Xianbei retreated?"

Zhang Hua wondered: "Brother He Ji doesn't know such a big thing?"
