Chapter 147 Homeless
Above the long road, wailing sounds.
The people who were torn clothes and had a good face, had lost their homes due to the war. Seeing the Chu army retreating and the Liang army occupied Wancheng again, they had originally hoped to survive the disaster, but they did not expect that they were now driven like livestock.
The hatred eyes were like a sharp sword, and Huan Qing riding on the horse could easily feel it. As the second young master of Huan Wu, he could not have been used to go to the front line to experience the storm.
In Huan Wu's eyes, these victims were just used to hold Yang Xianyi and a two-day idle boy. It has its use regardless of success or failure.
But for Huan Qing, the meaning is completely different. Such dirty things are completely unfair. Huan Wu would never admit that he would treat the people under his rule in this way.
Huan Qing looked at the victims who were slowly walking on the road, his face dark, and there was a trace of vague resentment in his eyes.
But Huan Wu handed him over this matter, which meant that he had to think deeply.
Thinking of Huan Wu's sons, Huan Qing's eldest brother Huan Qing had long been recognized as his heir. This time, Huan Heng, the third brother who entered Nanyang with him, was able to lead thousands of troops and gallop on the battlefield. Even his fourth brother Huan Qing, who had not yet performed the ceremony, had a relationship of poetry and prose, and was very carefree.
On the other hand, although he was the second son of Huan Wu, he received even worse treatment than an ordinary lieutenant.
Huan Qing glanced at Meng Qing, who was also riding a white horse next to him, but the other party's face was as calm as usual. For a strategist like him, this kind of thing might not be considered a matter of anything?
"Why should Zong Shi be willing to come here in person when he is willing to be in the wind and frost?"
Meng Qing was not old, but he was able to hold an important position in the Liang Hou Mansion. Huan Qing had always been very curious about him.
"It's actually no big deal for me to come here. The second young master is really admirable."
A sentence like there is nothing made Huan Qing feel that Meng Qing was as insightful as watching the fire in his situation.
Huan Qing sighed slightly, turned his head, and looked at the victims below who were urging for nearby bandits.
"To be honest with Zong Shi, sometimes I always wonder if I am my father's son?"
"The second young master was kidding."
Meng Qing lowered his head slightly and responded to Huan Qing's sudden sigh.
Huan Qing’s meaning is clear. But it is not something he should care about, nor is it what he should listen to, as a minister, that is, he should not openly comment on the lord’s family affairs.
As the saying goes, the conversation is simple and profound. Meng Qing originally thought that Huan Qing would stop, but he did not expect that Huan Qing would continue to talk along the way.
"It goes without saying that my eldest brother has long been designated as his future heir by his father. However, the situation of the third and fourth brothers is much better than mine. They are both the sons of their father, but why is his father so partial?"
Here is quiet, with only Huan Qing and Meng Qing. If the matter here is spread, Huan Qing may be charged with unfilial crimes. However, Huan Qing seemed confident, and Meng Qing would not continue to tell the matter here.
"The second young master should not worry too much. The lord is a hero in the world, and what we think cannot be guessed by our ministers." Meng Qing bowed and said, "There is still a lot of planning for the matter here, so I will say goodbye first."
Huan Qing has always had ambitions in his heart, and it continued to expand as he grew older. He was unwilling to sink into this and knelt down under his elder brother Huan Xi in the future.
Huan Qing could feel that Meng Qing would be the most important help for him to seize the throne.
Looking at Meng Qing's distant figure, a light appeared in Huan Qing's eyes. This is an extremely smart person, but smart people often know how to choose and will not bet on a bargaining position that is destined to lose.
Meng Zongshi, sooner or later, I will make you bow and surrender.
Rang County.
"Young master, the situation has changed!"
Just as Yang Xian was debugging a Jiao Weiqin in the mansion, Liao Cheng, who had been leading troops outside to guard the city wall, hurriedly turned around.
"What's the matter?"
"Young master, the Liang army near Rang County has not attacked. I thought it was a little strange. According to the two scouts who have been outside Rang County, since this morning, victims have come to us one after another. For these victims, the Liang army neither drove away nor gathered them, but just watched them come straight to us."
Yang Xian brought the Shu army generals in Rang County at this moment to the city wall. As we can see, there were dense crowds of people coming to the county town of Rang County. The front was only a hundred feet away from the city wall.
A group of victims walking in front knelt outside the city, and some of them shouted.
"Liang Chu is tyrannical, we are homeless, the Prime Minister is kind and righteous, I hope to take in us homeless people."
"Prime Minister, what should I do? Huan Wu obviously wants to use these people to hold back our army's pace."
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is Huan Wu's plan. At present, the supplies and the family of the Heilongjiang Army have withdrawn from Rang County. At this time, only the left-behind Changce soldiers were left in the city, and they will leave in just half a day.
If the Liang army comes, Yang Xian may lead people to abandon the city and leave. They will not be able to keep the Shu army. But if they want to take these victims away, it will not only drag down the pace of the march, but who knows how many Liang army spies are mixed among these victims?
"Liao Cheng!"
"The last one will be here!"
"Prepare food, military tents, and excess cattle and carriages for these victims, and pull them out for their use."
"I will obey the order!"
"Ma Xiaocui!"
A black shadow flashed beside Yang Xian, and the owner of Qiankou Cave knelt on the ground on one knee.
"I'm here!"
"You bring the scouts from the army and mix among these victims to find out the spies inside."
"I understand."
Yang Xian did not hesitate and arranged everything, so he asked the soldiers to open the city gate and let the victims enter the city. As the gate slowly opened, the experience bar in the reflection of the starry sky was rising rapidly.
The generals in the city walked down one after another, leaving only Jin Xin still beside Yang Xian.
"Prime Minister, the military situation is like fire. Although there is nothing wrong with helping these people, should we put the army first now?"
In Jin Xin's opinion, Yang Xian's move was time-consuming and labor-intensive. Even though he knew it was Liang Jun's trap, why did he still jump?
"Xiyong County has many lands and few people. Now that Huan Wu has sent all these people over, why should I not?"
Yang Xian smiled, looking at him without caring about it.
"Huan Wu's move is nothing more than to drag our army here, give the Liang army time and find the place. But both Huan Wu and the Liang army generals on the border of Rang County have made a mistake."
The feather fan swung lightly, and the breeze blew across his cheeks. The light shone down in the sky, and Jin Xin saw a faint smile on the mouth and feet of the boy in front of him.
