Don't panic, the family boss is busy farming

Chapter 372
"what!"

Gongsun Zan stared at Liu Qi in the hall, in disbelief, "Zhao Yu wants to sell Youzhou to the Xu family army?"

Liu Qi, dressed in dust and dust, knelt on the ground and nodded heavily, "It's absolutely true!"

"Bastard!" Gongsun Zan was about to go mad with anger, "Zhao Yu, an old man, actually did this to this general, and as a member of the Zhao family, he did such a thing of betraying the royal family, and he was not afraid of being struck by lightning! "

"How many people still know about this matter?" Gongsun Zan quickly walked to Liu Qi's side and lifted him up, "Where is Your Majesty? Are you still alive?"

Liu Qi licked his dry mouth, "General, calm down."

Gongsun Zan let go of him with a cold snort, and Liu Qi replied in fear, "Only us and Xu Jiajun should know about Zhao Yu's transfer of Youzhou."

"As for His Majesty, he should still be alive."

Liu Qi's answer was not very sure, because they had lost news of Zhao Yuanji for more than half a year, Xu Jiajun held such a heavy chip in his hand, but he didn't move at all, maybe he was really killed by them.

After all, they are not afraid of being accused of regicide.

"No." Gongsun Zan said affirmatively, "The Xu family won't kill him! They won't do that."

Gongsun Zan took a deep breath, calmed down his excitement, and looked at the disheveled Liu Qi with a flash of disgust in his eyes.

"How dare you come back!"

Liu Qi thumped and knelt down again, knowing that the crime of capital punishment was inevitable, and he didn't make any excuses.

Gongsun Zan felt even more distressed when he saw his formerly majestic general being beaten into such a humble appearance by the Xu family.

The Cao family in the south is ready to move, and I don't know what they are planning. The two emperors in the north and the south are messed up enough. Now that Zhao Yu and the Xu family army are coming to participate, Gongsun Zan only feels a pain in the head.

Seeing Liu Qi's miserable state, although Gongsun Zan really wanted to lead the troops to Youzhou to kick off these two hard rocks that bothered him the most, his rationality gradually took over and he told him that the chances of winning were not great if he sent troops now.

But just let Youzhou be taken over by the Xu family?

Gongsun Zan bit his cheek hard, and decided to put some trouble on Zhao Yu and the Xu family.

Gongsun Zan looked at the embarrassed Liu Qi, "I'll give you a chance to take your crime and make meritorious deeds. Immediately send my secret order to Wuhuan and tell King Wuhuan that their chance to go south has come!"

Perhaps Gongsun Zan made such a decision because of his confidence in the strength of the Central Plains.

Because he knew that foreign races could not interfere with the Qing Kingdom, so the main purpose was to disturb the Xu family's army.

If Xu Jiajun can't deal with it, he can kill him under the banner of himself, reap fame and fortune, and take Youzhou directly!

If Xu Jiajun wins, his only loss is that Xu Jiajun's reputation on the border exceeds his own, but this is also one of the risks.

And the premise of all this is that no third person will know about this matter.

Liu Qi raised his head in shock, stared at Gongsun Zan for two seconds, and then lowered his eyes.

At this time, the sky is getting colder, and it is early autumn.

It has been a while since Xu Yue received the governor's seal personally sent by Qi Zhou. After discussing with her family, the family of five decided to go north in person to take over the official seals of the various counties in Youzhou.

Yuyang County is now on the right track, leaving the three Zhao Bei brothers and Sima Yi to look after the house, Xu Yue and her family did not bring any of them, and went north secretly first to avoid fraud.

The Xu family army squad responsible for recovering the counties of Youzhou will set off after receiving the news from Xu Yue on the front line.

Sima Yi felt that this was a bit too risky, so before Xu Yue and the others set off, he came here and told them to disguise themselves, so as not to be recognized and die unexpectedly.

Xu Yue and others: "."

But what Sima Yi said was not unreasonable. In the end, the five members of the family disguised themselves as a rich family who were leaving relatives, and embarked on the road north.

The family was not in a hurry to take Zhuojun to meet Zhao Yu, but planned to go around, first go east to Guangyang County, then go north to Shanggu, finally go to Daijun, and then go back to Zhuojun.

As for the four counties on the right side of Yuyang County, Youbeiping County, Liaoxi and Liaodong, they are too desolate and have many alien races. Wang Pingping plans to wait for the counties in the east of Youzhou to be stabilized, and then go there for a while to meet those who have already established themselves as kings. Alien tribe.

The carriage rolled forward, and the unimproved two-wheeled single-axle carriage left the wide and flat concrete road, bumping so much that Xu Erniang vomited it out.

"Xu Dalang, can you drive the car!" Erniang Xu cursed angrily while wiping her mouth with a handkerchief after throwing up.

Xu Dalang turned his head and glanced at her, but he was not angry, because Xu Yue was also in the car, and he knocked his sister upside down too.

The young man first smirked at Xu Yue apologetically, and then glanced suspiciously at Erniang Xu, "You have been really irritable lately, can't you talk well? Young lady is not angry."

Xu Erniang was taken aback, "What are you talking about? I'm very irritable? You didn't drive the car well first, okay?"

Xu Dalang snorted, too lazy to respond.

Xu Erniang glanced at him, and with some guilt opened the leather water bag and drank a couple of mouthfuls of water, but she didn't continue to compete with Xu Dalang to win or lose.

Xu Yue poked her head out and said to Xu Dalang, "Brother, slow down."

Xu Dalang nodded, "Understood."

Wang Pingping and Xu Da in the carriage looked at Xu Dalang, and at Xu Erniang who was sitting in the corner drinking water. The couple looked at each other, keenly feeling that something was wrong.

But before he had time to think about it, the carriage suddenly stopped again.

The four people in the car didn't pay attention, Qiqi staggered and crashed into a ball.

"Xu Mo, did you do it on purpose?" Erniang Xu yelled angrily, then got stuck.

A group of yellow and thin refugees rushed out from nowhere and surrounded the front of the carriage.

Twelve or thirteen people knelt in front of the carriage, begging with their hands outstretched, their eyes were frighteningly bright.

"My lord, do me a favor, give me a stutter"

"I haven't eaten for four or five days. You can give me a stutter. If I don't eat, I can give you saliva. I will be a cow and a horse in my next life to repay you!"

Someone looked at the fat and strong horse, licked his chapped lips, and swallowed hard with his dry throat.

Xu Dalang's eyes turned cold, and the man lowered his head in panic, and stopped staring at the horse.

Xu Dalang can assure you that if these people hadn't seen the knife in his waist, they would have rushed up and robbed his family by now.

The long-forgotten memories of fleeing flooded into his mind again, and Xu Dalang was in a trance for a while looking at these ragged and skinny refugees.

Xu Da and Wang Pingping signaled their two daughters to stay in the carriage, and the couple jumped out of the carriage.

The two of them, one with a sword and one with a bow on their backs, were both armed. Seeing these refugees, they subconsciously backed away, visibly flustered.

But the taste of hunger is too painful. Even knowing that I and others are unarmed and may die, I still can't help but beg for food and water in a low voice.

Previously, Xu Yue and others knew that the drought was severe in places outside Yuyang County.But I didn't expect that just after leaving the boundary of Yuyang County, I met people who were fleeing.

Wang Pingping raised her eyes and looked at the situation on both sides of the road. There were only this group of refugees who had been hiding here for an unknown amount of time.

As soon as autumn came, the grass and trees were very withered and yellow, the surrounding dry and cracked fields were deserted and no one cultivated them, and the river was dry to the point where only a layer of shallow mud flat remained.

The local farmers around here have either fled or died.

This hot and quiet scene is completely two extremes with the happy scene where the people in Yuyang County are celebrating the harvest.

Although this drought was not as severe as the one in Yanzhou that year, it was almost the same.
