Chapter 370 Good generals are easy to get
As the sun sets in the west, Cao Hua led a refugee team to walk slowly on the banks of Qiandao Lake. There are two hundred light cavalry maintaining order, and the refugees are still stable. No one dares to cause trouble when walking honestly.
The villages along the way were empty, and there were also several rioters who defected to Fang La on the way. Seeing that the Cao Chinese were in power, they all took a detour. Many people who fled with their families also joined the team and followed them to Muzhou City.
There were not many car frames in the team, and most of them could only walk on foot. They were exhausted after a day. Cao Hua did not give orders or dared to stop. Many old and weak were already sitting on the ground and unable to get up.
Xie Yijun looked at her for a few times and drove her to the front: "Cao Hua, stop, they can no longer walk."
Cao Hua walked with a horse, and immediately sat a woman injured on her leg, holding a baby in her cradle. The woman's husband was caught by Fang Lajun and pulled the strong man. After the woman was dispersed, she didn't even bring any food. She ran to Qingxi and fell and injured her leg. There were many such women and children.
Cao Hua stopped and looked around and said, "Is this safe here?"
Xie Yijun had already observed the surrounding terrain: "The view is wide and there are no cavalry under Fang La's men who cannot raid. Just send scouts to keep an eye on it... If Fang La leads a large group of people to chase us, we can quickly evacuate even if we ride a horse..."
In the last sentence, Xie Yijun's voice was very small and she didn't want the refugees ahead to hear it.
The two hundred light cavalry under Cao Hua's mission was to protect Zhao Fei's safety, and he could not shake the tens of thousands of bandits under Fang La. Moreover, the bandits seized the weapons and armor of the 5,000 imperial guards, and they were no longer mobs. They shot down in one round. No matter how skilled the two hundred light cavalry is, they are still alive targets. When they are caught up, they can only leave the refugees to evacuate.
Cao Hua sighed and raised his hand. Li Bairen drove his horse to the front of the team and informed Han'er to camp on the spot.
It was said that it was camping, but it was just sleeping in the wilderness, without even a tent. It was fine if the ones were carrying bedding, but if they didn't bring them, they could only lean on the stone grass to rest.
Xie Yijun carried a spear and ran back and forth on the lake where thousands of people gathered, flying away the women, children, the elderly, the weak and the strong, and the young and the strong, and the strong, and those who had the strength to run were placed in front. In this way, Fang La caught up from the back, and those who were young and strong could escape quickly, avoiding the fate of being trampled between the old and the weak and the weak and unable to run away, and even one person could not escape. But in this way, if you really meet Fang La's pursuers, the weak and the weak women and the children would have to leave it to fate.
Cao Hua saw it and wanted to raise his hand to stop it, but after thinking for a while, he still let go of his hand.
In troubled times, compassion is the most valuable thing. Even the lives of soldiers are just a game of numbers addition and subtraction, not to mention the people who are like grass. According to his intention, the strong men are placed behind to stop the pursuers and buy time for the elderly and weak to escape. It looks very humane, but if you think about it carefully, you will know that it is unrealistic. It is all for the people who are fleeing for life. It is impossible to sacrifice their lives for others to stop the pursuers, and it will only become a mess.
With Xie Yijun's orderly arrangement, the team gradually settled down. Xie Yijun selected some women and young laborers, dug soil and stoves by the lake to set up a pot to cook, and then divided a small amount of grain to ensure that the people who were washed away and left alone could live for a few more days.
Although Cao Hua is the leader of the team, these abilities that lead the team to survive in troubled times are obviously not as good as Xie Yijun, so he can only retreat to the second line and lead the Black Feather Guard to guard the important road behind. In this way, Xie Yijun, who is handsome in black armor, is naturally regarded as the boss by refugees and called the "little general" by refugees.
Li Bairen took out a blade of grass in her mouth and handed it to Cao Hua. Looking at Xie Yijun who was driving the horse to scold her, she sighed a little:
"It is easy to get a good general, but it is hard to find a handsome man. No wonder Xie Yijun can attract countless people from the world to join me. I feel ashamed of this ability to coordinate."
Li Bairen was born in a wild world. It was easy to run a thousand miles with his brothers. It was okay to mobilize thousands of trained Black Feather Guards, but if he had to bring a bunch of refugees who were useless, he would probably have to catch them immediately.
Han'er is the same. The training he received since childhood has not dealt with refugees. At this time, he was a little dissatisfied and muttered in a low voice:
"Can you still be better than the young master?"
Li Bairen wiped the Nine-ring Knife and sat cross-legged on the grass, laughing:
"It's not that I, Old Li, is disrespectful. When it comes to being in battle to kill enemies, no one in the world has ever compared to the governor. But with a bunch of burdens that cannot be steadily gone, the governor really has no choice but to have no place to use his strength."
A group of black-feather guards chuckled, obviously agreeing with this statement. If there were no such burdens, they would be able to arrive at Muzhou City tomorrow morning. The people under their command had too many people running away and could not walk with a whip. They really had the strength to have no place to display.
Cao Hua was gnawing the bacon, and just shook his head helplessly at this:
"Everyone has its own strengths. If I have no one to match everything, wouldn't I really become a god?"
Li Bairen was recognized and his bones immediately became lighter and closer:
"Governor, Xie Yijun can't let go. Not only is he very capable, but he is also rare in this world. No one in the world deserves it except the Governor."
The Black Feather Guard nodded quickly and showed a meaningful smile.
Han'er's face was slightly cold. She looked down at Yima Pingchuan's chest and then snorted lightly:
"If a person like Xie Yijun cannot take it for himself, he will be eliminated. Since the young master has not killed him, he will naturally have plans in his heart."
Li Bairen touched his beard and frowned slightly as if he was old man Lu:
"Tsk tsk tsk, why is there such a big jealous smell?"
The long sword is out of the sheath, as cold as the frost and snow in February.
Cao Hua quickly grabbed Han'er's arm and pinched her gray face:
"Old Li is just a joke, don't take it seriously."
Han'er was as thin as paper, and her thoughts were seen through by others, so she was willing to relieve herself. She put away her long sword and stood up and ran to the crowd, and worked with Xie Yijun to dispatch the people.
Cao Hua had no choice but to glar at Li Bairen, then served a bowl of mixed grain porridge from the big pot and came to the carriage where the Hujie Army was guarding the death.
Shen Yu sat next to the carriage, holding her chin in a daze, but she was not panicked, but was a little bored. Seeing Cao Hua coming, she muttered:
"Who is the black-armored young general named Cao? He is more handsome than you."
Cao Hua looked back at Xie Yijun riding on the horse and smiled:
"What? Miss Shen is interested in it? Do you want me to be the leader of you?"
Shen Yu quickly withdrew his gaze, his face turned slightly red, and he hummed:
"You are not my father, why should you make the decision for me? I am not interested in this lady."
Cao Hua shook his head and chuckled. Shen Yu, who was so small and delicate, believed that Zhao Fei's daughter, was hard to imagine that she was the same age as Su Xiangning. Shen Yu was indeed over the age of marriage leave, and probably she was anxious about the marriage.
Cao Hua thought for a while: "If Miss Shen falls in love with someone, just say hello to me. No matter whether he is a prince, prince, general or a noble family, only if you can afford the money, I will pack it and send it to you to the mansion."
Chen Yu sniffed, and his face suddenly became unfavorable: "I want to buy my husband, but I still need to find you?"
"I'm not happy to forget it."
"Um...."
Chen Yu raised his little arm to block the way, hesitated for a while, and then blinked again:
"Anyone can do it?"
Cao Hua showed a little coldness and nodded slightly: "Including the current crown prince, but you can only be a side room, and you can't be the official concubine, but others will depend on the situation."
Chen Yu blinked, nodded and laughed: "Then I'm sure, only the two of us know about this. Let me tell you when I have a goal."
"No problem, but it's not cheap to ask my Tai Sui as a matchmaker."
