Invincible special police swept the three kingdoms

Chapter 293 Rescue the Refugees
After listening to Zhao Lei's words, more than 500 militiamen froze there. It was the first time they saw regular officers and soldiers in full armor, and there were thousands of them, surrounded by three floors and three floors outside. of.Looking at the whole of Yangzhou, the only one who can have such a force is the current governor of Yangzhou.Facing the siege of thousands of Yangzhou troops by Zhao Lei, those militiamen had a gleam of fear in their eyes. Everyone now regrets that they did not flee in all directions when Zhao Lei's army was not surrounded, and now they can't escape even if they want to.

The open field seemed very quiet at the moment, and even the sound of the dead leaves on the ground being scraped to the ground by the slight wind was extraordinarily loud in such a quiet environment.

Zhao Lei looked at the militiamen who hadn't spoken for a long time with a trace of fear on their faces, rode his horse and took a step or two forward, and said loudly again: "Put down the guys in your hands, we won't hurt you, and there is still food to eat after surrendering." I know you are not those Yellow Turbans, I will not make things difficult for you."

This time, Zhao Lei guessed right. The more than 500 people standing in front of him with farm tools as weapons were indeed not the Yellow Turban Army, they were just a group of ordinary people.Because of the lack of food and the inability to maintain a way of life, and the oppression of the Lujiang generation by the Yellow Turban Army, the people were overwhelmed, so they had to pick up the farm tools in their hands to defend themselves, because only themselves can protect themselves in this troubled world.Zhao Lei did not persecute them, after all, this was different from the remnants of the Yellow Turbans he had killed before.

Finally, among these people, someone was shaken. A skinny old woman came out from the crowd, leaning on a wooden stick in her left hand and holding a kitchen knife in her right hand. The right hand holding the kitchen knife was still trembling. It seems that the weight of this knife is not light.In the old grandma's sunken eye sockets were a pair of gray eyeballs with a tinge of brilliance. She squirmed her chapped lips, opened her throat, and asked in a pale voice: "Lord Inspector, is there really something for surrendering?" Do you want to eat?" The tone of the old man's voice, in the mood of pleading and expectation, made people feel very sad.

Zhao Lei glanced sideways at the meal these people were about to eat. The pot was cooked with some sticky bark mixed with some wild fruits picked from the surrounding woods, bubbling in the boiling water and emitting A very strange taste, and the color of the soup in this pot is also a light yellow.When Zhao Lei saw this scene, he couldn't help but cast a shadow over his heart. He raised his head and saw that the fear in more than 500 pairs of eyes had dissipated immediately, and what was reflected was a pair of pairs showing hunger and thirst for food.

Zhao Lei jumped off the horse, hung the Lightning Sword in his hand on the saddle, and untied a small bundle from under the saddle. Inside the bundle were a few dry white flour steamed buns. He took the steamed buns out of the saddle He took it out of his bag, held it in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Old man, you are right, as long as you surrender, you will have food!"

After a burst of sighs, more than 500 people put down their agricultural tools one after another, knelt down on the ground, and bowed to Zhao Lei: "I beg the governor to give me a stutter!!!"

"The whole army obeys the order, and give all the dry rations to the common people!" Zhao Lei personally handed the steamed buns in his hand to several hungry commoners, and shouted loudly to all his subordinates.

All the cavalry got off their horses and together with the infantry distributed all the dry food they carried to more than 500 people.With just such a momentary change, an unnecessary conflict was resolved.

Zhao Lei saw that those people gobbled up the steamed buns as soon as they got them. Normally, he didn't like to eat bland steamed buns, but in the hands of really hungry people, they became the most fragrant and delicious delicacy in the world. For the first time, he felt how happy it was to have food.

Among the more than 500 people, although they were all men, most of them were old, weak, sick and disabled, but there were only a dozen real young adults, and they were injured in one way or another.Zhao Lei took the opportunity to ask about the current situation in Lujiang, and got the answer he wanted most.

It turned out that these more than 500 people were all people in the Lujiang area. Because they couldn't bear the hunger, they risked their lives and escaped from Qianshan County in front of them.In order to prevent the Yellow Turban Army from chasing and killing them, they set up camp here and sent people to guard them all the time to prevent the Yellow Turban Army from killing them.However, Zhao Lei guessed that maybe it was because the more than 500 people were relatively united, and it would take time to really hunt them down, and his Yangzhou Army had already dispatched troops at this time, so Ou Xing let these people go.

After learning about these situations, Zhao Lei said to all the people: "I am Zhao Lei, the governor of Yangzhou. Now that the stars in Lujiang City are rebelling, I am afraid you will not be able to go back. If you want, you can take your family to the front. Shiting City or Shouchun City, when the time comes, I will send someone to arrange for you to live in, so that everyone will have land to farm and everyone will have enough to eat. Would you like to go to my site?"

Hearing Zhao Lei's words, the bosses burst into tears. Now is the time when they are desperate and destitute, but they didn't expect Zhao Lei to give them a chance to get rid of hunger.With such a good thing, how could they not agree.

After Zhao Lei sent people to settle these people down, he let the army set off.And these more than 500 ordinary people are grateful to Zhao Lei, and silently remember the name of the governor of Yangzhou in their hearts.

After walking for more than an hour, the Yangzhou army finally arrived at Qianshan County, and after resting in Qianshan County for one night, Zhao Lei ordered the army to go directly to Lujiang County.

Qianshan County is about [-] miles away from Lujiang County. Zhao Lei led the Yangzhou Army to march forward as fast as possible.Since this is already the defense center of Lujiang, this time, Zhao Lei first sent Wang Yue and his men to open the way ahead, fearing that they would encounter an ambush by the Yellow Turban Army.Whether there is or not, he has to be careful. After all, after fighting with Zhang Chunxue this time, he sent so many soldiers along the way to protect the people, and his strength suddenly decreased. If he was ambushed by the enemy at this moment, the consequences would be disastrous .

Zhao Lei led the Yangzhou army and ran forward for more than ten miles when he saw several dead bodies on the side of the road, which seemed to be the secret sentinels of the Yellow Turban soldiers.He stopped the troops and waited for Wang Yue's return.

After a while, Wang Yue came back with twenty cavalrymen. When he saw Zhao Lei, he cupped his hands and said, "My lord, the secret sentries in front have been resolved, and no ambush has been found."

Hearing Wang Yue's return, Zhao Lei felt a little happy. This is also the place he is most optimistic about Wang Yue. He is superb in martial arts, meticulous in thinking, and good at hiding himself. Relying on his adaptability to the environment, he can find the enemy smoothly. The secret whistle hidden nearby can also detect the enemy's ambush.In this age without radar, this is a special skill, and a very useful one.

Just as Zhao Lei was thinking, Wang Yue said again: "However, my lord, when I approached Lujiang County, I discovered a very strange phenomenon."

"What phenomenon?" Zhao Lei said.

"This subordinate won't be able to explain clearly for a while, so I'd better ask my lord to take a look in person." Wang Yue said.

Zhao Lei nodded, and after letting Wang Yue return to the team, Zhao Lei let the Yangzhou army continue to move forward. After walking for less than ten miles, he suddenly saw Lujiang City towering in front of him.

"My lord, look at the gate of the city." Wang Yue pointed to that place and said to Zhao Lei.

At this moment, a barracks was built at the gate of Lujiang City, and there were groups of bandits gathered there, holding bows and crossbows. As long as anyone took a step forward, they would be shot into hedgehogs.

After Zhao Lei saw this scene, he moved his eyes to the east and west gates, and saw two similar camps. Although his sight was blocked and he could only see a corner of the camp, Zhao Lei could still see the two gates. There are many archers looming in this camp, needless to say, there must be a camp at the south gate.

"My lord, there are more than 1000 bandit soldiers in the camps of the other three sects, and they are all holding their bows and crossbows and sticking to the camps. I don't know what they want to do." Wang Yue said at this time.

"The star in this area is not well guarded in the city, and he sent troops out to make some horns. Doesn't he know that the horns need to be guarded by generals? I have never heard of any generals in Lujiang." Zhao Lei said to himself. Said to himself.

"The whole army goes out!!! Destroy the camp in front of us, and open up a way for our army to attack the city." That's all, Zhao Lei said to the soldiers behind.

"promise!"

"My lord, don't attack!" At this time, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, and Zhou Yu shouted at the same time.

The three of them looked at the other two with a little surprise after shouting, and Zhao Lei was also confused by the three of them.

Why did these three people stop their orders?
