Chapter 448 New Refugees

Thinking about this, the commander ordered his men to hurry up overnight, and they could deliver the food and grass to the destination in a few days.

However, the Jinyiwei still did not save on food along the way, and this time they collected a lot of food in Luoyuan Prefecture.

At this time, the Lu family army retreated to a county town 300 miles away from Songjiang Prefecture.

The walls of the county town were not as high as those of the prefecture town, and they were not as thick as those of the prefecture town, and there were no soldiers guarding the city.

The Lu family army could easily enter, but unfortunately, the county town was also poor and the people in the city ate wild vegetables.

The rich and the small families in the county town did have food to eat, and Lu Chengdi ordered his men to rob their food directly.

Their Lu family army was really hungry. The previous 500,000 Chu family army only had 450,000 people when they changed their name.

After several months of war, there are now less than 300,000 people, some died in battle and some died of starvation.

Because the Lu Family Army was defeated step by step, the common people along the road despised them very much, and no one took the initiative to send food to the Lu Family Army.

The common people along the road saw the Lu Family Army and ran away quickly. They didn't know whether it was true or a rumor that the Lu Family Army ate human flesh.

They killed and cooked children when they saw them. Whether it was true or a rumor, this was something that everyone was afraid of.

In this way, a new batch of refugees were added. In the hearts of the people, the Lu Family Army was not only a despicable and shameless person.

They were also cruel and ruthless, eating human flesh and drinking human blood. At least it was a fact that the Lu Family Army robbed their food.

That was a fact that the small families and the rich had experienced personally. They were afraid of the Lu Family Army, so they could only run away.

The people remembered the good things of the Chu Family Army more and more, and the rumors from the previous year were remembered by the people and spread everywhere.

The refugees went straight to Youzhou, because the Songjiang Prefecture City they passed by did not open the city gate, and they couldn't get in even if they wanted to.

The refugees who fled famine this time were much better off than those who fled during the locust plague, when there was no grass growing everywhere.

Now, there are wild vegetables and weeds everywhere. Although they still can't eat enough, at least they won't starve to death.

The people who won't starve to death have faith again, so they fled along the road, and they walked with the wind.

The refugees had a goal in mind, and it was not so hard to endure. They spread the word along the way.

The people in the county town that was closer to the Lu family army fled in advance, and the small families with food brought all the stored food to eat on the road.

They would also give some to the refugees who reported the news, so they formed a long team of refugees.

They were not afraid of hardships and hurried on the road. The older generation also fled famine, and their destination was the capital at that time.

In the end, they were ruthlessly driven away by the soldiers guarding the capital, but this time their destination was the barren Youzhou.

Refugee A said: "Brother, you are taking all your assets to Youzhou. What if Youzhou is also occupied?"

"Well! If the capital of Youzhou is occupied, then Dongchen Kingdom will no longer exist, so it is still the most reliable to go to Youzhou." A refugee said with full energy.

"Why are you so sure? Do you know any inside information?" Refugee A asked again.

"I guess what you mean is that because there is the Marquis of Zhennan and the King of Zhenbei in Youzhou, they are strong and united, so it must be safe there."

"Yes, I am too stupid, why didn't I think of it? Let's go, our whole family will go with you."

"Oh! I won't go, I thought you had an appointment with the Marquis of Zhennan! I don't know if the Marquis of Zhennan is still alive, and I won't do such a stupid thing to go blindly."

"It doesn't matter if you don't go. If the court sends reinforcements, we will be saved here."

"Then why are you still following? Why don't you stay?" A person who was about to flee asked.

"No matter what happens in Youzhou, we just want to go there to farm and grow crops in peace. There is no hope for the Lu family army in the south."

"Brother is right, Youzhou City is the place where the Marquis of Zhennan was exiled. As long as there is the Marquis of Zhennan, it is a safe place. Let's go with you."

Everyone was talking about it, and there were very few people who stayed, and most people still ran away with them.

They really don't know whether the Marquis of Zhennan is still alive, but that is the belief in their hearts.

If there is no hope for the last hope of the Marquis of Zhennan, then what hope do the common people have!

Staying here is just a torment, especially the small families whose food was robbed by the Lu family army, who are even more indignant and want to escape from here.

"Forget it if you don't go, we must go to Youzhou to find the Marquis of Zhennan. Anyway, there is no hope for staying here."

Since the Lu family army robbed the food in their mansion, these small families are ready to flee to Youzhou City to find the Marquis of Zhennan.

They are southerners, and the god of war in their hearts is the Marquis of Zhennan. They may have heard of the King of Zhenbei, but their belief is the Marquis of Zhennan.

Whether the Marquis of Zhennan is still there, they really don't know, that is just the belief in their hearts, and they think that the place with the Marquis of Zhennan is heaven.

In the near future, these refugees who are fleeing famine will be most grateful for the impulse and the person who took the lead at this time.

They relied on their perseverance and finally reached their destination after three months of hardships. They never dreamed that what was waiting for them was actually heaven.

Chu Lixuan and Jiang Xinyan, the couple, did not know yet that a large number of believers in the south of Dongchen Country had come to join them!

At this time, they were in the chicken farm, and Jiang Xinyan was happily counting their chicks, more than 30,000 chickens.

"Oh my God! This Youzhou City is not very poor. We actually exchanged so many chickens at once. When the hens are familiar with the environment, they will start laying eggs."

Jiang Xinyan's eyes and eyebrows were full of smiles, and it can be seen that she was happy from the bottom of her heart.

"Madam, almost all the chickens in Youzhou City are here. We exchanged them with generous prices. They are reluctant to eat them and exchanged them all."

Zhao Yu wanted to laugh when he thought of the process of exchanging food. At the beginning, the people in the city picked out chickens weighing two kilograms.

Because Mao Yiming issued a notice according to Jiang Xinyan's intention, two to three kilograms of chickens, one chicken for one bucket of rice.

When Zhao Yu and others really took out the white rice, those noble families and wealthy people grabbed all the chickens on their farms.

It doesn't matter whether it is two kilograms or three kilograms. The only thing is to exchange for rice. After several rounds of exploitation by the government, their noble families have very little food left.

They were very anxious because they had no food! The new rice they had planted would take two months to harvest.

They could raise chickens again. It was a rare opportunity to exchange all the chickens for food, so they exchanged 30,000 chickens.

Actually, it was not a lot. All the chickens in the entire city only had 30,000.
