Chapter 635: The Great Migration

"Wait a minute, please go back, there is no need to mention the temporary stationing of the victims in the north of Jingzhou!" Liu Biao shook his hand and retreated angrily.

Seeing this, Xun Yue, Han Song, and Qin Yu knew that it was useless to say more, so they also retreated to the post station. Naturally, along the way, Xun Yue and Han Song looked at Qin Yu with strange eyes. It seems that the Qin Yu they knew before was not the person in front of them. And Qin Yu thought about the task given to him by Ma Chao in his heart, so he didn't pay attention to the abnormality of the two.

It wasn't until he returned to the post room that Qin Yu closed the door and said into the air, "Come out." ”

As soon as the words fell, Qin Yu saw a black shadow floating silently under the beam. After the black shadow stood still, he hugged his fist at Qin Yu and said, "Mu Yuanfeng see the door master." ”

"You're good at stealth and hiding again." Qin Yu praised Mu Yuanfeng, then waved his hand and said, "Don't call me the master of the door in the future, once you enter the Ma family, you will be commensurate with the official position of the Ma family." Ma Chao is eloquent and strategic, although he is not necessarily afraid of his subordinates forming a party, but he will always have nostalgia in his heart. Now he is no longer the one who begged us for God's divination. ”

"Subordinates obey." Mu Yuanfeng listened to Qin Yu's words, nodded and signaled that he had written it down: After all, the two of them are from the same line, and Mu Yuanfeng is very clear about the intelligence of this 'door master'.

And Qin Yu didn't say much since then, just took paper and pen, wrote a few words, and after drying the ink, handed it to Mu Yuanfeng and said, "You know the importance of this letter, use the shadow channel to send it directly to the lord as soon as possible." ”

"My subordinates understand!" Mu Yuanfeng carefully folded the letter, put it in his arms, and disappeared.

Seven days later, the letter was placed on Ma Chao's desk. After Ma Chao read the content, his expression was not sad or happy, but he picked up another letter casually and said to Mu Yuanfeng: "You know the importance of this letter, send it to Qin Yu as soon as possible." He'll be interested in what is above and will understand what I mean."

"Subordinates obey!" Mu Yuanfeng smiled bitterly in his heart, and couldn't help but feel deeply sad that he had been reduced to the role of an errand runner. However, just as he was about to leave, he heard Ma Chao say again: "Be careful on the road, it's hard." ”

Mu Yuanfeng paused, then saluted Ma Chao before striding away.

"My husband has just recovered from his illness, so don't overwork anymore." Diao Chan only took a look at Mu Yuanfeng, and then came in and saw Ma Chao pinching his temples tightly, and couldn't help but say with relief.

But as soon as the words fell, before Ma Chao could reply, Pang De strode in, hugged his fists and said to Ma Chao: "Lord, the victims outside the city have been gathered, I don't know."

"I'll give them a ride." Ma Chao got up dejectedly, passed by Diao Chan's side, and said softly: "Millions of disaster victims, thousands of miles to migrate to Yongzhou, such a vast thing, I am afraid that it has not been seen in a hundred years." The Ma family has to walk on thin ice, and if they are so thoughtful, how can I stay out of it? ”

When Diao Chan heard this, his expression couldn't help but darken. But looking at Ma Chao's tired back, she smiled, and quickly followed Ma Chao and said: "Husband and wife, you and I will get through this difficulty together!" ”

Ma Chao looked back at Diao Chan's determined gaze and couldn't help but smile. was speechless, but walked out of Shangshutai hand in hand with Diao Chan. However, the warm touching of the two was extinguished by the black and oppressive tide of victims outside the city after a stick of incense. Therefore, Ma Chao gave up his plan to say goodbye to these victims loudly: this time, the Ma family sent all the officials in the group, hundreds of people among the hundreds of thousands of victims in Chang'an, and after they were scattered, they were like water dripping into the boundless ocean, and there was almost no shadow at all.

No matter how dazzling Ma Chao is and how loud his voice is, in the face of hundreds of thousands of victims, his voice can't be heard at all: the heartache of saying goodbye to the victims can only leave a final memorial in the eyes of compassion.

This time, all the officials dispatched to cooperate with Zhong Xuan's officials to distribute food rations for these victims for five days. At the same time, all the soldiers of the Ma Jiajun also sharpened the knives and guns in their hands: this time is the most dangerous moment. The homeland is difficult to leave, especially the regional plot of the ancients, which is even more incalculable. Even though Ma Chao repeatedly assured that this was only a temporary parting, the Ma family worked hard to bring these victims together, not hoping that they would turn against the Ma family at the last moment.

Fortunately, the simple Li Shu was not as angry as Ma Chao expected, and they showed extremely excellent discipline under the maintenance of Ma Jiajun. Countless victims of the disaster carried the dregs and cakes that the Ma family had just given them, and looked at the person who could give them the last hope of life with a hint of supplication and hope. Ma Jiajun symbolically held a big stick of water and fire, clearing some small open spaces for officials to announce the government decrees and arrangements for the migration.

Fortunately, the Ma family has done more preliminary work this time. During the preaching, there was no sign of deterioration in the flood of victims, and when the officials of the Ma family tried their best to explain all the laws and regulations, more than 100,000 victims silently expressed their obedience.

Until this time, Ma Chao's heart hanging in the air suddenly fell into place: being able to get such an effect is inseparable from Zhong Xuan's excellent administrative ability. He found that all the victims of the disaster were actually gathered automatically by regional clans, which seemed to be chaotic, but in fact they were very xenophobic. And most of the people who control those victims are the old people in the clan or Lizheng.

Therefore, before the gathering, Ma Chao ordered Ma Jiajun and officials to try their best to establish a good relationship with those clan elders and Li Zheng, and support those clan elders Li Zheng to freely manage their disaster victims, and Ma Jiajun only played a role in maintaining justice.

In the same migration activity, Ma Chao still relied on those clan elders and Li Zheng. After the officials announced the decree, those clan elders and Li Zheng stood up one after another, knelt down in public to accept the temporary appointment of the Ma family, and then commanded the young and strong of the clan to help the old and the young, and guided them in the direction of Yongzhou according to the instructions of the Ma family's iron horse.

The organization work in the subordinate area was carried out for three days and three nights. In these three days and three nights, Ma Chao did not close his eyes once, watching the mighty wave of victims, neatly arranging countless echelons according to the clan region, and leaving the Chang'an wilderness one after another. In this activity, there was not a single riot or riot, only the numbness and helplessness of the victims, and the cloudy eyes of those who did not know why tomorrow.

Countless livestock were driven by the people, and countless victims dragged simple wheelbarrows, loaded with food and all kinds of broken wooden planks, and walked on the official road of Chang'an. From Chang'an to Hanguguan, the last remaining large families in all the counties and counties under the control of the Ma family were ordered to build porridge sheds, prepare well water, and provide assistance to settle down within their capabilities.

When the last wave of victims disappeared in Ma Chao's eyes, Ma Chao couldn't help but burst into tears. He tightly held the hand of Diao Chan, who had been by his side, and choked up and asked, "I did this?" Is it right or wrong? ”

Along the way, Diao Chan witnessed the tragic scene of many victims falling on the side of the road, and also saw those victims walking on the road of survival paved with the bones of the same kind and continue to move forward. And those who died silently, in order to prevent becoming the source of the plague, had to be burned and buried by Ma Jiajun, erasing all traces of their survival in this troubled world

"Husband, the cicada doesn't know if you're doing the right thing. But Cicada knows that you have saved at least millions of Li Shu's lives" Diao Chan kissed Ma Chao affectionately, and finally said: "You are not a god, you have done your best"

"Yes, I've done my best," Ma Chao said to himself silently. Then he began to walk back step by step, and under his feet was the charred and lifeless land.
