To the west of Rongshui, about eighty miles from Liucheng.

Zhao Ping'an stood in the heavy rain on the high ground, looking at the mountain road in the distance, and Lao Liao stood behind him with an umbrella.

From here, you can see that there are many people carrying packages, leading children, big or small, in the mud, coming towards the "camp".

Guangxi is now completely in chaos, with wars and wars rising everywhere.

In addition to the bandit army collecting food and killing people everywhere, the Guangxi Cavalry and Infantry Military Office was basically not proactive and was very negative.

So the small soldiers who were uncontrollable and could not see hope in the future had experienced fear, panic, and famine, and now they had begun to rob and even kill people!

It has been more than fifty days since I entered Guangxi.

The places I saw were sores. Some fleeing people died in the wilderness. I don’t even know if they were starving to death or sickness or killed? Who killed them?

In such an environment, it is people's nature to hold a group to keep warm, and the fleeing people also chased the Guangnan camp and ran away again.

Now on the mountain road in heavy rain, you can see women falling down and the children cry loudly. Then the women get up again and lead the children away weakly.

This is because Zhao Ping'an and Lu Shijie have now become a banner: the hope of survival!

Although the current conditions of the Guangnan camp are still extremely harsh and the situation is very dangerous, they are always being pursued by Nong Zhizhong's troops.

But to this day, it has become a consensus on this land that you can get the greatest chance of survival in this season when you are as cheap as a dog.

Although we have been detouring in a small area from beginning to end, the Guangnan Camp has saved too many people and integrated an increasingly powerful army.

No one has ever dared to believe that the more people the defeated dog flees, the more elite the more they beat.

However, it really happened. Faced with the fierce elite of Nong Zhizhong, Guangnan Camp won five battles and fled, and not only more and more people, but also their morale and quality were increasing.

So far, the warhead's troops have reached 4,000, and it has clearly formed a tit-for-tat situation with Nong Zhizhong's troops.

"This is simply a miracle!"

Lao Liao, who was holding an umbrella, said, "If it weren't for the sir, the fugitives had no place to go and could see hope, more people would die. If the sir had not been constantly accepting defeated soldiers and fleeing soldiers and allowed to make meritorious service, then they would be anxious if they were forced to jump over the wall, and they would have a step closer to hurt the people, and even be driven to kill by the Guangyuan barbarians."

Lao Liao said more and more emotion: "I recall that at that time, when he followed the army from Jiangnan, he had only a few nine people. In just fifty days, he has fought more than 4,000 miles from east, west, south and north. The army was drained from the bottom of the pot, which was equivalent to cutting off the supply of the Southern Army's troops and grain supplies in several aspects. And he saved the people of Guangxi to the greatest extent. Perhaps others don't know, but our Guangnan Camp itself knows that the army is in the country and will definitely have great blessings in the future."

Zhao Ping'an looked at the continuous people who fled in the heavy rain and said, "Before entering Guangxi, I never really hated anyone in my life. After coming, I fought thousands of miles south and north, and I saw three thousand movies that didn't have that many corpses in total. After killing the wild dog that ate the corpse of a child with his own hands, the energy in my heart came back. It was still not ruthless, but I wanted to do this."

“…”

When talking about this, Lao Liao wanted to cover his face. When he killed the wild dog, Lao Liao trapped the dog's limbs and asked him to do it, but he killed it in a very embarrassing way.

In addition, many half-aged children and women now fight with swords, but since the scholar fought for thousands of miles, he has never brought a knife even on the front line, nor has he participated in cutting an enemy army.

No one knows how to evaluate this scholar. It is not right to say that he is timid.

When everyone was terrified and had no hope for the future, this scholar was the calmest. He led the team and won five battles and five times. Not only did he escape, but he also killed nearly a thousand Nong Zhizhong's troops and obtained key equipment and rations.

In addition, about 200 Song troops who fled, he ordered the confiscation of weapons and executed them, without frowning.

In other words, since entering Guangxi, this scholar who did not use a knife has killed more than a thousand lives.

"One general succeeds and thousands of bones are undone!"

Lao Liao knew that as long as the Guangnan camp was immortal, more people would be killed by him.

The more than 200 Song army matters are still under pressure. They are the direct troops sent by the Guizhou Prefect Chen Shu. Once the news was announced, they were afraid of causing a major political earthquake, which was not conducive to accepting other fugitive soldiers.

At that time, Zhao Ping'an and Lu Shijie had serious differences about the execution. Lu Shijie said that he was unwilling to execute the Song army who had admitted his mistakes, especially at this time when people were hired, and at the time when mountains and rivers in Guangdong and Guangxi were full of holes.

But it was indeed because there were too many people gathered in the team, and many people complained in tears and accused the Song army camp of killing good people and executing many villagers as enemies to report their numbers.

In the end, Zhao Ping'an disagreed with the public opinion and secretly decided to execute him.

When Lu Shijie got the news, he rushed to shout "Save people under the knife", he only saw corpses all over the ground.

They were executed in a line of kneeling when they had cooperated to confess their guilt and cried to make meritorious service.

At that time, Lu Shijie cried in anger: "At least you can leave most of them, just kill the commander!"

At that time, Zhao Ping'an said: "The incident did not happen recently, nor did it happen at once. For so long, even if the soldiers who did not participate in the murder did not choose to leave the team, did not choose to speak out, did not choose to report secretly, and chose to accept it? Then it is definitely not going with the flow. This is a traitor. No matter how hard a team can fight a scholar, I don't want to put the words here, I would rather let the thief army go than let these people go, never!"

Recalling the past, the rain is getting heavier and heavier.

Lao Liao's umbrella could no longer be covered, but Zhao Ping'an had no intention of leaving.

After standing for a long time, Zhao Ping'an said: "The rain is getting heavier and heavier. When I passed the melting water for the last time, I had already discovered something was wrong. The water level soared a lot, and the rain was not that heavy at that time."

Lao Liao said: "What do you mean by sir?"

Zhao Ping'an said: "If the Yellow River continues, it will break its mouth. If it really happens, it will hit the confidence and morale of our Song Dynasty even more severely! Guangdong and Guangxi will also struggle in the dark for a longer time, because there will be no food supply that is already in full force. With the emperor's character, it will inevitably provide relief and tax exemption for disaster areas. In addition, changes in the river water will affect water transportation. Under multiple factors, in addition to military disasters, extremely serious food shortages and epidemics will occur one after another!"

Lao Liao changed his expression slightly, but he didn't know what to say!

This is the current environment of the Song Dynasty, with storms and ripples of holes.

This is because Xixia did not cause trouble and served Liao Kingdom with annual monies. Otherwise, no one would dare to imagine the subsequent results.

"Report—"

A soldier ran to the front and said, "Sir, Mr. Lu asked you to go back."
