After successfully conquering the people of Heifeng Village, Dongfang Ming continued to set off on his way.

When Dongfangming chose the marching route, he tried his best to go away from the settlements of the people.

First, to avoid exposing his whereabouts. Dongfang Ming led such a large army, if he passed by a town or something, he would be too crowded. If it was passed into Dou Dejian's ears, Dou Dejian would be alert. An official army appeared on his territory, and Dou Dejian would definitely search for their whereabouts on his territory.

Although Dongfang Ming's army has supplemented nearly 10,000 new blood, it is still a huge difference compared to Dou Dejian's 300,000 army. Dongfang Ming knows that facing it head-on is not a wise choice.

Second, I am afraid that if I meet too many people, I will easily encounter unexpected situations. At present, for Dongfang Ming, the more people there are, the more complicated the places. Now Dongfang Ming has no time to deal with those accidents.

It’s better to avoid some of the things from the beginning and save trouble from the source.

In addition, Dongfang Ming is now very famous in China because of his great victory over the Turks. If someone knows that Dongfang Ming appears in Hebei, I am afraid that all kinds of people with ulterior motives will pounce on him like flies.

For these reasons, Dongfangming has minimized passing through towns as much as possible.

But no matter how afraid of trouble, Dongfang Ming couldn't resist the fact that he had such a large army.

It was okay to say that there were only one thousand people's rations before, but Dongfangming could deal with them with the system. However, if the foods for ten thousand people's rations were used every day, how much would it cost to deal with them with the system every day?

Unless Dongfang Ming wants to use all the Tang dots he earned to support this army, Dongfang Ming would have to set up several slightly larger supply points on the marching route.

Of course, Dongfang Ming was unwilling to waste his efforts.

So, Dongfangming's army was heading towards a town determined by Dongfangming.

This town is considered to be a larger area and should be enough to support this time of food supply.

A group of ragged refugees gradually passed by the roadside. At first, they were still in groups of three or three, and the army occasionally saw a few of them. Slowly, the closer they got to the town, the more refugees they became.

These people's faces were dirty, their faces were pale and thin, and their eyes were protruding. At first, they sat on the ground in a daze.

When they saw an intact army passing by them, their eyes gathered to look at the army. When the army's food and supplies trucks drove past them, they suddenly widened their eyes. The greedy look that people would only see when they were very hungry when they saw food.

The change was too obvious, so obvious that the soldiers suddenly became alert and held the swords and guns in their hands tightly.

Sure enough, I don’t know who shouted, “They have food! Grab it quickly! It’s gone if it’s too late!”

The refugees seemed to have a green light like a hungry wolf in their eyes, and pounced on them like a hungry wolf.

Fortunately, the soldiers were alert and immediately raised their swords and guns to point at these refugees.

The refugees robbed food to survive. Now they are pointed at by sharp weapons and threatened their lives, naturally they dare not act rashly.

But the supplies trucks guarding behind the soldiers were covered with bags of food and grass. The refugees stared at the food tightly, and did not want to give up.

The two sides were in a stalemate and no one was willing to give in.

The commotion behind the team attracted the attention of Dongfang Ming in front of him.

The temptation of food is really too great. Not only did the refugees not stop moving forward with weapons, but instead formed a circle of encirclement and gradually approached.

When Dongfang Ming rode his horse back, the soldiers were ready to stab him with swords and guns.

Dongfang Ming quickly spoke out and stopped him: "Stop! Stop! What are you doing!"

"Report to the general, these people want to steal our food!" The captain of the baggage team reported loudly.

Dongfang Ming looked at the situation in front of him and felt a little headache. He stared at the refugees for a while, and the information appeared in Dongfang Ming's eyes.

It turns out that Hebei has been drought for years, and the grain harvest has not been good in recent years. However, the people are not concerned about the situation of the people at all. Not only has the taxes not decreased, but they are getting heavier.

Farmers cannot bear the heavy taxes, and they cannot grow grain from cracked land. Officials often come to collect their taxes in a vicious way. If they cannot pay, they will smash and rob them. Many people really can't stand such days and have to leave their land and become refugees.

This situation has occurred in more than one place, with a large area of ​​drought in Hebei. Therefore, people in many places are forced to leave their hometowns and gather near larger towns, hoping to get some food.

Dongfang Ming sighed and said to his subordinates: "Let them take it."

"But general, we don't have much food anymore! If we give them, the brothers will not have enough food to eat for a few days." The soldiers couldn't help but complain.

"These people just give them some military rations for a bite. We are about to go to the town. Anyway, we need to replenish supplies. A little more is a supplement, and a little less is a supplement. Give them some handfuls." Dongfang Ming still insisted.

"Yes." The soldiers reluctantly made way for a gap.

The refugees looked at each other and rushed into the gap.

He roughly dismantled the cowhide rope fixed on the baggage truck, carried a pack of grain and ran away.

Soon, several supplies were transported out.

The soldiers were really reluctant to let go and persuaded them to protect the last few baggage trucks, refusing to let the refugees approach.

Perhaps the refugees also know that they cannot be more aggressive. If they are forced, no one will be anxious. Slowly, these refugees will astigmatize and disappear with the food they have obtained. They should be finding a place to divide them.

Only a few empty baggage trucks were left, and Dongfang Ming sighed deeply.

In this world, people have to face many difficulties to live. If they can help, they can help one more. Although they have lost a lot of food, they can be bought back with money.

Dongfang Ming is now the leader of a village, and he is not short of money. No matter how good it is, it is more affordable to exchange Tang Dian for gold than to directly exchange food. In this era, there is too much food that can be exchanged for one or two gold.

The road was not blocked, and Dongfang Ming ordered to continue moving forward.

The town is quite large, but it is difficult to accommodate an army of ten thousand people in one go.

Dongfang Ming found a good place near the town and ordered a station. Dongfang Ming went to communicate with the guarded city defense army. How could Dongfang Ming still hold the rank of a general? He was stationed outside the city, so the city defense army did not agree?

There are many people and things are slow to handle. When the army sets up the tent, it is already dark, and it is not convenient to enter the city to replenish supplies.

Dongfang Ming decided to repair the camp for one night first and then go to the city to replenish supplies tomorrow.

After having a nice dinner, Dongfang Ming ordered a rest. Except for the soldiers on duty, the rest of them returned to the camp to have a good sleep.
