Chapter 4 The Hungry People
After the scout was sent out.
Lu Bu and the others also began to speed up their journey.
The straight line distance from Shangjun to Yunzhongjun is not very far, but the road is not easy to walk.
Both counties are within the range of the Huns' activities, so they often fight together.
This is how Lu Bu has done such a thing several times before.
However, most of the time, the Xiongnu and Xianbei in the north did not violate the border, and the soldiers of the two counties would not take the initiative to attack.
So it's basically very peaceful.
This time, Lu Bu thought that it might be because the Yellow Turban thieves rebelled, and the disaster affected seven or eight states and dozens of counties, which made these alien races want to take advantage of the situation.
The cavalry ran all the way, and Lu Bu looked at his martial arts records from time to time on his horse to check whether there were any enemy troops in front of him.
At this moment, Lu Bu saw that within about ten miles of his road ahead, a group of people began to gather, and they formed a group of more than fifteen people.
In the Martial Arts Record, if the number of their imaginary enemies is less than ten, then their positions will not appear.
Of course, if it is a real enemy and is being hunted down, even if there is only one, it will be captured by the martial arts record, which can be said to be unable to escape.
So Lu Bu could actually see that this martial arts record is still a bit flawed, at least. If the other party knows that he has such ability, he can completely put his team in a group of less than ten people and then disperse it.
But how could Lu Bu tell others that he had a record of martial arts?
So, at this time, Lu Bu pretended not to see anything and continued to rush forward.
When the distance was only about five miles, Lu Bu saw that the number of people in the other party had expanded to more than one hundred.
These people are defined as hungry people.
If it were normal, Lu Bu would have been accustomed to these more than a hundred hungry people.
In the entire Han Dynasty, natural disasters and oppression of gentry and gentry led to countless people not being able to eat, and they could see hungry people everywhere.
Local officials did not have corresponding response strategies, but they could only follow the emperor's order to enlist additional sects, so that the people were in poverty, and the rebels could also think clearly at this time.
So at this time, Lu Bu's first feeling was whether there were believers from Taiping Road in Bingzhou, and then he was preparing to initiate an uprising in Bingzhou.
No matter how much I think about it, I still have to keep rushing.
Fortunately, at this time, a horse was catching up and galloping back.
"Report!!! Sima, a large number of hungry people were found five miles away in front of him."
"Can there be bandits?" Lubrer asked after he ceased his horse.
"No bandits were seen."
The slinger said without hesitation that he was just reporting on what happened in the future. Because the other party was hungry, these scouts went in and out of the hungry crowd several times, knowing that they were just hungry people.
Lu Bu heard this and said, "Talk again and report again."
"promise!"
The scout continued to go to the contingent, while Lu Bu and others continued to accelerate.
It would be fine if these hungry people were just hungry people. If they dared to obstruct the army, Lu Bu and other cavalrymen would not spare them easily.
Continuing to rush, Lu Bu found that the number of these hungry people had decreased and was also moving, and the direction of movement was in Jizhou.
Lu Bu could also guess the reason for this. After all, the Bingzhou area has suffered from war for a long time, and those who cannot survive can only escape to other places.
When Lu Bu and his friends were only one mile away, it was the third time that the scout had sent back the message.
This is indeed a group of very ordinary hungry people.
Maybe he was bewitched by someone who was interested and was ready to leave Bingzhou.
In this way, Lu Bu and others rushed forward, without caring about these hungry people, passing by them.
More than a hundred hungry people, each with skinny skin, a dish-colored face and a dull eyes.
This is the poor under the rule of the Han Dynasty.
They are heavily exploited, but now they have no way to survive.
After seeing these people, Lu Bu was timid and frightened when he saw the cavalry, so he ordered the cavalry to surround the hungry people.
Originally, he didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but he didn't want these hungry people to gather together and cause trouble.
Even though I know that they may not be able to survive, this is how it is.
But Lu Bu didn't want to make more people unable to survive because they couldn't survive.
"Mr. Jun, please spare me, we are a great man."
On this border, people who live here understand what a terrible result is to be surrounded by soldiers.
So they were terrified and whined, and they were talking nonsense, but the meaning was very obvious, begging for mercy to survive.
Lu Bu rushed forward and said, "I am Sima of the county army. Are you gathered here to join us? But should you follow the thief?"
"General, please spare me. I don't have this intention. I just want to find a place where I can have food and survive..."
There was a wailing in the crowd, and some thin people had fallen to the ground. Lu Bu could only feel helpless when he looked at these people.
"You have been caught by Sima, and you will be dispelled from being a thief, otherwise I will lead the cavalry to destroy you." Lu Bu looked at these people and ignored them.
After saying that, he rushed to the road.
He just checked out more than a hundred people.
I want to see if there are any strong adult men.
If so, you can be enlisted.
But after observing, he found that it was all the old, weak, sick and disabled, and it had no meaning to him at all.
So he continued to rush to Yunzhongcheng.
Along the way, Lu Bu and his friends saw more than a dozen hungry people.
The signs of chaos in the world are already very obvious.
It is too normal for officials to force the people to rebel.
After rushing along the way, Lu Bu and his friends only took a break twice.
Finally, after dark, we almost arrived in Yunzhong County.
However, Lu Bu asked the cavalry to rest, and the scouts went to check the situation in the county city and passed the message to Yunzhong City, so that tomorrow, no matter whether there are enemies or not, they can fight with confidence.
Lu Bu and others all ate dry food and did not bring cookware, so they did not bury the pot to make rice.
After simply eating dry food and drinking water, Lu Bu checked the records of the martial arts while waiting for the horse to send back the message.
In the Martial War Record, there are no extra foreign soldiers around Yunzhong County.
In other words, there were no Huns holding the border at all.
However, Shangjun received a request for help from Yunzhong County, which only means that Yunzhong County was indeed attacked by the Huns, otherwise it would not have been possible to lie about military information.
Therefore, Lu Bu guessed that a large number of scouts from aliens were provoking within the scope of Yunzhong County, and were discovered by the soldiers of Yunzhong County, and then he turned to Shangjun in advance.
Therefore, the aliens should have gathered from various tribes and planned to rob Yunzhong County.
