First Class Concubine

Chapter 232
The beginning of chaos is always due to uneven interests.

For those minions who have nothing but weapons in their hands, they just want to live.And whoever keeps them alive, they are willing to follow.

Le Chen has already arranged for someone to go to Xiliang City for news.Let them know what kind of life the people in Xiliang City are like.And tell them that the Great Han Kingdom accepts surrender, and the common people are also very happy to accept it.

When the news spread, a large number of deserters immediately appeared.

Comparing the two, the status of civilians and surrendered soldiers is naturally higher than that of civilians.If they wanted to enter Xiliang City, they would flee first, and after fleeing, they would become civilians, and then flee there.

Because someone told them that outside household registration is not valid in Xiliang City.In Xiliang City, everyone can reapply for free household registration...

As a result, a large number of deserters began to appear.Those generals were busy fighting for power and profit, and they didn't care about them at all.

But for those with power in their hands and those with ambitions in their hearts, they see hope, further hope.

The emperor is dead, and there is an heir, which is also a waste.No, that's even better.Anyway, they are all self-proclaimed kings, and others can be established, why can't they be established?

Now the emperors of the three countries are dead, and the entire territory of Dayan, except for the land occupied by the great Han, is unowned.

Heroes come out of troubled times... They help others fight the country, why don't they fight the country themselves?Anyway, it's the same thing.And what has no owner is naturally the one who can get it.

And immediately afterwards, the fifth prince of Dayan set an example, led the people immediately, controlled all the few supplies left in his hands, swaggered, and left in a hurry.

Interested people saw it and went to inquire immediately.Naturally, it was discovered that the fifth prince led the troops, not to rescue the emperor, nor to return to the capital of the Dayan Kingdom, but to look at a few cities and prepare to occupy land and become king.

As soon as this news came out, it immediately gave those caring people a shot in the arm.

There are only so many things, to attack Xiliang City?Just kidding, that's why they came here before, but the result was heavy casualties, and Xiliang City still stands there.They couldn't even take a step closer, the former emperor couldn't do it, and now they can't even do it.

When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. With the first example, they scatter much faster later.

Qijing and Lechen just watched.

After watching for half a month, half a month later, there were less than 1 people left in the camp of millions of troops.

Seeing this, the 1 people had no choice but to leave in despair after finding no news about the update.

The last ones to leave were Qijing and Lechen.Holding hands, the two walked slowly in this camp where millions of troops were once stationed.From lively to lonely, the contrast here is too obvious.Let them, the two bystanders, sigh along with them.

"A-Tai wrote a letter, asking me to inspect the six cities that were just conquered, and by the way, look at Hong'er. Ji Nanxing sent a letter, saying that something was wrong with Hong'er."

Qijing was slightly startled, "What's wrong with Hong'er?"

Le Chen shook his head, he didn't know either.

Because of this news, the two made plans for the next trip.

Because it was an inspection tour, Le Tai specially sent a guard of honor over here.Le Tai personally sent them over, and by the way, he also brought some important documents for Le Chen to instruct.

He came and left in a hurry, but before leaving, Qijing heard the two of them discussing the three emperors' disposal plan.

In the end, Qijing knew that Le Chen actually sent those three people to the valley leading to Yanhui Mountain.Le Tai specifically mentioned: "For those flowers that the fourth sister-in-law dug, I asked someone to find some and plant them in."

Qijing praised the novelty, this is another kind of euthanasia for the three of them!
……

Although there was a guard of honor, the two did not follow the guard of honor.There are so many people and things are complicated, Lechen is too annoying.Come to ask for instructions if you have something to do, come to report if there is a disaster caused by victims, and report to a pothole on the road... Le Chen was really annoyed, so he took her a step ahead.

I asked for a horse, and two people rode together.

Although it was not so comfortable along the way, it looked more real.

Today's Dayan, except for Xiliang City, is devastated, and there is not a single blade of grass in the place where the army passed by.Most of the men are recruited as strong men, and most of the women are ruined.The remaining old, young, sick and weak can barely be called human beings.

It is really sad for those who hear it, and tears for those who see it.

Therefore, after seeing Ji Nanxing and the generals, seeing their mournful faces, it seemed that they felt the same sadness.He said bluntly:

"Xiliang City has already begun to mobilize grain and send it to the six cities. People have been sent to Dayue Kingdom to try to buy grain. Zhuangzi under your mother is also planting sweet potato seedlings. Sweet potatoes are big and can wrap their stomachs. The most important thing Yes, two seasons can be planted a year. As long as they are willing to do it, they can survive this difficult time."

After a pause, he said again: "When you are marching, you must be careful not to burden them. When you encounter bandits and horse thieves... you can capture them directly and send them to work. In addition, you must also supervise them, and don't let them People do something shameless in it."

"Yes, the master is wise, and the empress is kind."

After Lechen finished speaking, Ji Nanxing asked anxiously again: "Master, do you want to pursue the victory?"

Le Chen shook his head: "Our troops are too small!"

Their strength is too small, although some time ago, they also recruited a lot of soldiers to join the army.But there are many places that the big man needs to guard.Everywhere that is adjacent to people is always guarded by soldiers.

So far, they have repeatedly recruited soldiers, but the total is only [-].This time, there were also losses in the war with the Three Kingdoms.Now it's full of money, and it's only [-] at most.

He still wants these soldiers to guard the six cities that have already been captured.

Longyiying wants to fight, he believes it.I believe even more that they can beat it.But after he was defeated, what would he use to defend?
So, they want to fight, yes, let's suppress the bandits. "What you have to do now is not to attack, but to protect. Protect our people and not be hurt by the bandits. Let them live a good life in peace..."

He needs time to increase his troops, train them... and to feed the common people in these cities.

"From now on, all the people who come to defect are not allowed to refuse for any reason. But all those who come to defect must be treated equally. But as long as criminals are caught, they will all be sent to labor reform forcibly."

"Yes. On behalf of the people of the world, thank you, master, for your kindness."

Lechen accepted such flattery unceremoniously.

When Le Chen saw Ji Nanxing, Qi Jing was talking to Le Hong, just where Le Chen could see.

I haven't seen him for a while, and Le Hong also has the so-called qi, the blood evil spirit.Blood Fiend has nothing to do with justice or evil, but obviously, this child's premature contact with war has had a huge impact on him.He is indeed very bad.

He was very silent and completely lost his original liveliness.Even facing Qijing, from the beginning to the end, he only gave a miserly smile.Later, I found that it was too difficult to laugh, so I simply gave up.He just sat opposite to Qijing silently. Qijing poured him a cup of tea, but he didn't touch it from the beginning to the end.

"Would you like to go back to Xiliang City with us? Brother Tai must miss you very much." Qijing was silent for a while, then opened his mouth.Maybe she fished him out of the water back then, so she always felt that she had a responsibility for him.Not to affect his life, but always pay attention.

"I want to follow Longyiying." Le Hong looked up at her, and said in a slightly astringent voice after a long while.

Qijing sighed softly: "I don't want to force you, but you need to know that there is a limit to slack. And you... are too young, and some things can't be rushed. Also, you can't be too horny. No matter what you think, you You have to admit that you are different from them."

Le Hong looked at her puzzled, "I'm different from them? Is my surname Le, the blood of the royal family?" He twitched his lips sarcastically: "What else is there besides ruthless filth?"

"You have two older brothers who will stand behind you, and they will help you with anything you want to do."

"I do not want……"

Qijing laughed, and suddenly asked solemnly: "Who are you?"

Although puzzled, Ke Lehong still replied: "I am Le Hong."

"Who is Lehong?"

"Le Hong is me, and I am Le Hong. Why does Fourth Sister-in-law ask such a question..." Le Hong suddenly closed his mouth, and looked at her in a daze: "What does Fourth Sister-in-law want to say?"

"You are Le Hong, a descendant of the Le family, the son of King Yu, the younger brother of Emperor Dahan, King Qi, and a member of the Dragon Wing Camp. All of these, together, are you. Every It’s all about you, whether it’s imposed on you by others, or you work hard on yourself. Whether you like it or hate it...all of these are an inseparable part of you. With them, you are who you are today..."

Qijing chuckled: "So, you don't have to hate them, let alone veto them. If you veto them, you are not you. And these are not things you can veto. If you want to rely on yourself, aren't you King Qi? Is it? Isn’t your surname Le? If you were really not, you would not be sitting here at all today.”

How could an irrelevant person have the right to sit in front of her, let her carefully persuade him.

All the soldiers who went to the battlefield for the first time survived like this.The first time someone kills someone, sees blood, who can remain indifferent in the face of that tragic battlefield?Who doesn't have nightmares again and again.Who isn't nearly insane?However, they can only survive on their own.Get over it, become a veteran, and move on.Until numb and used to it.If they can't make it through, they will die next time.

From Qijing's point of view, Lehong's situation is very dangerous.

Silence is a good thing, silence is golden, don't die in silence, just go crazy in silence.He is now at the crossroads of death and madness.If no one leads him a way out, he's in trouble.

And he is too young to survive, and needs the help of others to guide him to the road of life.

"Fourth sister-in-law." Le Hong said abruptly, "I want to meet him."

Qijing breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay." If you are willing to step out, to touch those festering wounds, to face them, and to work hard to resolve those knots.I was afraid that he would keep hiding it and drive himself crazy.

So, when they left for the new town, there was an extra Le Hong by their side.
