After Cheng Xiaolian heard about this, he immediately had a new idea: "Yang Youcai, clean up, and take people to muddy the water." ”

Yang Youcai said with a bitter face: "Your Highness, can we have a good rest for two days, you can see that I have lost weight in the past few days, and if I continue like this, I will starve to death before I have returned to the country." ”

"Hehe, everyone is starving to death, you can't starve to death, look at your body, it's all people's fat and people's ointment, you see where are the fat people in the play? Corrupt officials are fat people, for the sake of your reputation, you should work with me. ”

"Your Highness, they will definitely not agree to this."

"Why ask them? Let's go secretly, saying that it's to survey the terrain, check the enemy's situation, eat, drink and have fun, and they will definitely have no opinion. I warn you not to tell them the truth. ”

Yang Youcai sighed: "Got it." ”

Soon Yang Youcai gathered a team of people, of course, Meng Ke was indispensable, Meng Ke was excited when he heard that there was such a thrilling activity, and immediately left his Modao team.

You can't go out with the Modao team this time, because their weapons and body shape are too obvious, only one Meng Ke family will not find anything strange, if they are all tall and strong men, they will definitely be noticed.

Most of the people in this team are Jinyi guards, and a small number of them are trustworthy Burmese soldiers, Cheng Xiaolian They are outsiders after all, and it is impossible to know the local people well in any case, and with these native-born Burmese soldiers, they can avoid revealing any flaws.

After the entire Mengyang City was handed over to Yuan Zonghao, they went on the road, and the city defense of the city was still arranged by Zhai Songhao, and it was no problem to teach Zhai Songtin these things, but Cheng Xiaolian was still worried that Yuan Zonghao's people were wronged for their generals, so he still handed over the power to Yuan Zonghao, and I believe that Yuan Zonghao would not secretly make any stumbling blocks after seeing Zhai Songhao's ability.

Cheng Xiaolian and they are carrying fried rice on their backs, if they don't encounter any special circumstances, they can last for seven days, as for seven days, they must find new food or withdraw it, Yang Youcai pouted: "If this is in Daming, the people will have to eat Guanyin soil, they are already heaven here, and there is tree bark to eat." But let's not grab the bark from them, I think we'll come back soon." ”

Cheng Xiaolian was noncommittal, who knew that before he left Meng Dai City, he saw that the streets were full of fleeing people, in groups, all of them were yellow-faced and thin-skinned.

Cheng Xiaolian was stunned, and stretched out his hand to stop a person: "Where did you come from?" ”

The man looked at Cheng Xiaolian with a blank face, and he didn't mean to speak at all. Cheng Xiaolian quietly took out a small piece of cake from his arms and quietly handed it to him.

There is a reason why Cheng Xiaolian is so careful, so many people are hungry, and if they all share some food, they will not be able to take out all the food, so they can only give it secretly.

As soon as the man saw the bread, he grabbed it and put it in his mouth, and did not start chewing until he could no longer stuff it in his mouth, and after a while he was choked and rolled his eyes. Yang Youcai sighed, and hurriedly took a bamboo tube and handed it to him: "Drink two sips of water." ”

The man took two sips of water and then nibbled on the hard piece of bread until he swallowed it all into his stomach before slowly raising his head: "You came from the north to do business, right?" ”

"How do you know?"

"We don't eat noodles here, we only eat rice."

"Where are you from? How did you starve like this? ”

"Hongshan City. There's no food over there. ”

Yang Youcai frowned: "Before I came, I heard that the rice here can be planted at any time, and it can be harvested in three or five months, and it can be harvested a lot in a year, how can it not be eaten?" ”

"Hey, don't you know, although we plant a lot, but we also pay a lot, every year into their own hands, in addition to their own family to eat and take it to exchange for salt, there is not much left, especially a few days ago in the war, I heard that the country's grain has been burned down, this year has been levied three times a year, the rice seedlings in the field just grew a month we have handed in is not enough, a few days ago there came a group of soldiers, not only to rob food but also to rob women, we really can't live, the city in the south will not let us pass, You can only try your luck in the north. ”

Cheng Xiaolian coughed: "But I heard that there is a rebellion in the north." ”

"If we stay where we are, we can only wait to die, and if we go to the north, we may not die, so we can only try our luck."

After they walked away, Cheng Xiaolian sighed: "Fortunately, it's not in Daming, otherwise we would have to send this food." ”

Yang Youcai coughed: "I'm really worried that Your Highness, you will be kind enough to send the food out." ”

"It's not our own people, besides, they can have a way to live if they go to Mengyang City, let's do our own thing."

Of course, Cheng Xiaolian said this to the Burmese soldiers around him, although he was also sympathetic to those people, but it was only sympathy, this was the evil of the Burmese king himself, and Cheng Xiaolian didn't want to help him wipe his ass. It was his own subjects who suffered, and he didn't care, why should Cheng Xiaolian care.

It's just that there are still a lot of Burmese soldiers around, and if they behave too cold-bloodedly, it will inevitably chill these people, so they can only express sympathy, and then say that Meng Yangcheng will give them a way to live, as for whether Yuan Zonghao and Zhai Songtin will help them, it depends on whether these people are worth the relief.

Encountering this, the team became a little dull and walked a little faster.

Then he came to the range of Hongshan City, Cheng Xiaolian had heard of the locust plague before, it was said that where the locusts went, there was no grass, and now his eyes had been shocked, and there were all woods around him, and when he got closer, he knew that it was a big tree that had eaten everything clean.

As the saying goes, people leave their hometowns cheaply, and these people are reluctant to leave their homes even if they have a bite of bark to eat, but now that the bark has been eaten, they are afraid that they will not be able to leave if they don't leave.

Yang Youcai also felt a chill in his back: "Your Highness, when this happens, the next step is to eat people." Let's get out of here, the place where people eat, this person is not normal, we are likely to capsize in the gutter. ”

Cheng Xiaolian nodded: "Leaving is to leave, but before leaving, we have to go into the city to have a look." ”

Yang Youcai swallowed his saliva: "Just like us dressed up, I'm afraid that we will be surrounded by people before we enter the city, if the things on our bodies are robbed, it's okay, if they are eaten, this life is wronged enough." ”

Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "Those people haven't eaten for several days, and they can't stand steadily, let alone a bow and arrow, they can't even throw stones, what are you afraid of, if the situation is not good, Meng Ke can rush out with us." ”
