Chapter 2033: Military morale fluctuates, hiding whereabouts(2/2)
And these people in Jizhou did not have a good impression of Cao Cao. After all, after Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, he was said to have killed tens of thousands of Jizhou children. Of course, Cao Cao did indeed do this, and the specific situation is that most of them
The people didn't understand, they just knew the result, so they would rather flee Jizhou than go to Cao Cao to pray for mercy.
Therefore, from the beginning, most of these people marched towards Heluo Pass. Along the way, these originally disorderly refugees also dispersed and gathered many times, sometimes branching off into two groups to go in different directions.
, and sometimes you can meet other people who are fleeing.
Sometimes some gentry children and even local soldiers would come to arrest some people or buy some people, but most of them had no interest in the old and the weak, and those who were captured were basically young and strong men and women.
, perhaps in the eyes of these people, only young and strong men and women are valuable, while those who are old and weak are better off dead.
Although they have heard that Guanzhong is good, these fleeing refugees have no specific idea of how good Guanzhong is. They have a more instinctive desire to live, no matter how hard it is, as long as they can survive. In addition,
Some folk rumors say that when Cao Jun was out of food and grass, he would go to the countryside to capture "voles" and make them into dried meat...
As for whether the bacon in the pancakes Le Jin ate was serious meat, Le Jin himself didn't really care.
The knives and guns are buried in the ground. At most, they carry pocket knives. In later generations, knives would be properly controlled, but in the Han Dynasty, such daggers, which are longer than a palm, are not very regular.
It's just a table knife, so it won't attract much attention.
After Le Jin finished eating the pancake, he patted the man in front of him. The man understood and stood up, slightly motioned to Le Jin, and then walked away.
The sun climbed listlessly to the treetops, and more people got up. A few people not far away got into an argument for some unknown reason, and it quickly turned into a fight, while the people around him were basically indifferent.
Ignore, not even a sign of onlookers.
This kind of situation will basically happen once in a while.
When people are in a repressed environment, sometimes a trivial matter can trigger huge and unknown anger. The thing that triggers a fight is often not the most important, but the process of the fight is often extremely tragic.
But what is different from ordinary life is that no one cares about the fights among refugees, and no one will watch, and no one will boo, only the two parties fighting, like stray wild dogs, maybe
They bite each other for a little bit of bone.
After a while, one of the fighting parties stood up unsteadily, his face covered with blood, and staggered away...
After waiting for a while, the other one was still lying on the ground.
Le Jin frowned slightly.
Then after a while, another guy with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks touched him, and then he groped up and down the man on the ground, took something and hid it in his arms, and then started to pull at the man's only belongings.
The original color of the robe can no longer be seen clearly...
Le Jin turned his head, originally he didn't want to look anymore, but when the guy with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks started dragging the naked body towards the bushes far away, Le Jin couldn't help it anymore and stood up.
He gestured to one of his own soldiers.
In this situation, who would be kind enough to dig a hole for someone to bury? How many refugees have died on the road? Basically, they all die there. Although Le Jin also knows that eating food is common among refugees.
It's human flesh, but it's really right under my nose, and I still don't want to see it.
One of the soldiers nodded, then stood up, followed the sharp-mouthed monkey into the bushes, and came out again not long after.
"..." The soldier walked back to Le Jin, with a slight smell of blood on his body. He muttered something in a low voice. He must have subconsciously wanted to call Le Jin, but then held back, "Kill it..."
』
Le Jin nodded slightly.
The soldier hesitated for a moment, but did not leave directly.
Le Jin tilted his head slightly.
"...I don't know...how long...this will last..." the soldier hesitated and asked in a low voice.
Le Jin and his people have been hanging out in this refugee gathering place for a while, but they have not moved there. Although they have brought some supplies and some daily consumption, some people will dress up as fishing boats and send them over the river.
But after all, sleeping in a cave every day is not very comfortable.
"Almost. Just wait." Le Jin said. After pausing for a moment, he felt that what he said seemed a bit perfunctory, so he added, "It's difficult for you and me to overcome the danger alone... We need to wait for the change of weather...
Don't worry, it will be soon..."
Although the soldier didn't know what the specific time was, he could somewhat understand what Le Jin meant, so he nodded, pretended to be nonchalant, and walked away.
Suddenly there was a sharp whistle in the distance, and soon there was the faint sound of horse hooves. Le Jin immediately took a few steps, turned around and hid in the bushes, only exposing half of his head to peek.
In less than a cup of tea, three scout cavalry rushed from a distance. They didn't stop at all and skipped the deserted village. Then after a while, there were three more people. The speed was much slower, half walking and half stopping.
, stayed outside the deserted village for a moment before slowly moving forward, and after a while, five people came slowly. One of them had sharp eyes, scanning the surroundings like an eagle...
This is the fixed scout detection queue of the Hussars General!
