Thinking of this, Li Yi glanced at everyone and said categorically: "What you think in your hearts, this commander understands, but when this kind of time can save people from fire and water, we can't have the slightest hesitation. ”

"The ancients said well, 'the old and the old, the young and the young', whether they are the people of Shu or the people of our Han Dynasty, since they have given us the hope of survival, we cannot sit idly by, we have the responsibility to help them."

"Now, without further ado, Ben Shuai doesn't want to say more, everyone immediately acts according to Ben Shuai's orders, and there must be no delay."

"Now that Lord Qian and Master Lin are in charge of Ningzhou, we must do everything possible to immediately prepare the resettlement sites for the victims, and now that the rain is relatively heavy, we must arrange a place that can shelter from the wind and rain, of course, the more the better."

"In addition, the lack of food and clothing, especially the issue of food, is the top priority at present. It is necessary to immediately arrange for people to transfer grain from the treasury, and there are still 4,000 stone of grain in stock! First transport 1,000 stone of grain to Baiwu Pass, and then send people to other places to buy, and all the expenses will be taken from the Xuanfu Embassy. ”

"In addition, it is necessary to prepare a sufficient number of large rice pots, and arrange the people who cook and distribute the food so that the fire can be cooked at any time. Also, immediately collect cloth and clothes in case of emergency. ”

"General Jian and I will immediately rush to Baiwu Pass to check the situation there, and then send someone to contact you at any time after determining the situation."

"Lao Guo, you immediately arrange for me to be twenty shrewd and capable cavalrymen to follow me to the White Mist Pass, you can go down and arrange it now."

"Also, Lin Huan, you go to the inner house and bring my raincoat, rain boots and binoculars, if Madame knows how to do it, you just need to tell her."

After arranging all this, Li Yi signed the warrant for the transportation of money and grain, although everyone still had a lot of questions, but since the marshal had made up his mind, no one had any objections, but they all went to work separately according to the instructions.

At this time, the heavy rain outside had gradually decreased, but it was still dripping, and the Xuanfu Envoy's Mansion had already accumulated several inches of water.

Li Yize, Jian Zheng, Lian Jun, Zhuang Qian, and Yue Chang hurriedly prepared for the rain, and Guo Zhun quickly arranged the twenty cavalry.

Li Yi looked at his watch, it was already half past four in the morning, and it would take more than four hours to get to Baiwu Pass, especially when this kind of road was muddy, so it was better to hurry up.

After Li Yi's order, twenty-five war horses galloped out of the Xuanfu Embassy with a neigh.

The road in the city of Ningzhou is still good, because of the continuous rain here all the year round, the drainage facilities are good, although it has rained so much, there is only a pool of shallow water on the bluestone paved road, and there are not many muddy and difficult road sections.

But once you get out of the city, especially on the so-called official road, don't mention how bad it is.

On the potholed roads in the countryside, there are muddy puddles and mud puddles everywhere, and the muddy water splashes everywhere when the horses' hooves step on it, and they dare not open their eyes at will.

In some places, the terrain is low-lying, and the water is more than a meter deep, and everyone is just like swimming in muddy water, soaking in the muddy water and slowly struggling forward.

After walking for more than half an hour, everyone was already unrecognizable, even the people and horses, and they were wrapped in mud all over their bodies, and they were a little indistinguishable from each other.

The reason why he didn't take the road that he took to attack Wang Chuan last time was that the road was surrounded by the mountains of Wumeng Mountain, and under this weather condition, landslides and mudslides were very prone to occur, so Jian Zheng strongly chose this road to go directly north.

Although the distance is longer, the mountain roads are much less, and the chance of collapsing and blocking the road is much smaller.

However, due to the heavy rain overnight, the muddy roads were very difficult to navigate, and many official roads that could only barely pass have been seriously washed out, and many sections of the road had to be detoured back and forth, and a feasible road was found again.

Therefore, the group tossed and turned, and it took an extra hour to reach the back of the White Mist Pass, and it took us six hours to reach the back of the Baiwu Pass, which was less than 200 miles.

When we arrived at the White Fog Pass, the sky was already bright and the rain had basically stopped.

The soldiers guarding the city after the gate soon discovered Li Yi and his party, although they couldn't distinguish their muddy clothes, but under the vigorous shouting of the soldiers, the guards gradually saw the identity of the person who came, and hurriedly opened the city gate to greet them, while sending people to report to the acting defense envoy Zhang Bo.

When the group came to the pass, they did not take a break, but prepared to immediately rush to the city wall in front of the pass to understand the situation.

And Zhang Bo got the report from the soldiers and quickly rushed over.

Li Yi only nodded his head slightly at Zhang Bo's view, and silently climbed the high city tower accompanied by him, and looked down with the battlements.

I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it.

I saw that in the endless open space in front of the pass, the black pressure of the human head was crowded, extending from the front of the pass to the far invisible place, several miles away.

Looking down from the gate, the crowd in the distance was like black dots, and the dense numbers could not be counted.

Seeing this shocking scene, Li Yi was almost stunned.

Oh, my God! I've heard that there are a lot of people, but I didn't expect there to be so many anyway!

According to a rough estimate, there are probably tens of thousands of crowded people at this pass, which is about to catch up with the special effects scenes in the movie 'Trojan Horse'.

In that majestic movie, Li Yi was most impressed by the siege scene of the man's neighing horses, although it was carefully simulated by special effects, but the shocking scene was still memorable.

And now the scene in front of me is obviously not inferior in terms of numbers, but it is far from the word 'spectacular'.

Because of these ragged and skinny people, the helpless scene of standing in the muddy water brought Li Yi only a strong shock, as well as indescribable desolation and misery.

Li Yi took out the binoculars and searched the crowd one by one, and a burst of sourness passed through his heart, and tears almost slipped down.

What a shocking scene! These skeletal, speechless people, or squatting in the muddy water where the sewage flows, or crawling and crying in a low voice, not to hear the hoarse and weak cries of children, this... It's hell on earth!

Alas! These people who dragged their families and uprooted their homes, they endured hunger and sickness, traveled hundreds of miles, and came to this place that might bring them hope, with only one purpose in their hearts, that is, to be able to eat more or less a mouthful of food, so that their children would not starve to death in a destitute home.

Each of them was barely clothed, and their torn and soaked bodies seemed to fall down at any moment, and they might never be able to stand up again.

In an age of constant war and a habit of killing, the value of human life is almost negligible. Maybe their requirements are very low, even if they can survive as hard as livestock, it is their greatest wish.

Looking at the vegetable-colored faces, and the muddy, confused, desolate and helpless eyes, Li Yi was given a strong visual shock, and his body trembled slightly involuntarily.

Li Yi hurriedly gathered his mind, stabilized his body, turned around, and said to Zhang Bo with a cry: "General Zhang, have you counted the number of ordinary people under the lockdown?" ”

Zhang Bo replied with a blank face: "Dashuai, this... Weekend... The last general really can't find out! This... That's a lot of people! ”

Li Yi didn't say anything to reproach him, and he knew that what he said was right, how could so many people be counted.

Dense, crowded, can't see the end at a glance, who can check it!

It seems that he is also in a hurry, and he is a little unscrupulous.

However, it is better to find a way to help these homeless hungry people as soon as possible!

If they delay for a moment, someone among them will die at any moment.
