"Slave soldiers?"

Xiao Ming and Niu Ben were surprised at the same time.

Lei Ming nodded: "These slave soldiers are not Youzhou people, but the barbarians brought them from outside the pass, and Youzhou City is under the jurisdiction of these slave soldiers, but after the barbarians retreated, they were abandoned." ”

"How many of them there are." Niu Ben asked, and he was ready to rush in with the cavalry behind him.

"This is not much, it seems that there are only four or five hundred people, and now they have been defeated by the last general, and it is estimated that the barbarians did not tell them the news of Beishan's defeat when they retreated, or the barbarians would not have thought that Shanhaiguan would be lost at all." Lei Ming said indifferently.

Xiao Ming frowned and said to Niu Ben, "This is an opportunity to arrest these slave soldiers." ”

Niu Ben answered yes and immediately rushed into Youzhou City with cavalry and Lei Ming.

These slave soldiers played the role of two dogs in Youzhou at this time, that is, the puppet army.

The barbarians must have used these slave soldiers to rule Youzhou City, and captured these two dogs who ruled Youzhou City cruelly, and he could kill them in front of the people of Youzhou to announce the end of barbarian rule.

After the two had been gone for a short time, Niu Ben quickly turned back and told him that all the remaining barbarians in the city had been captured.

Xiao Ming followed Niu Ben into Youzhou City.

Like the cities of the Great Yu Kingdom, there are many people's squares in Youzhou City, and at this time, many people in Youzhou City are lying on the walls of the people's squares and looking at them in disbelief.

A few days ago, the barbarian soldiers stationed in Youzhou suddenly withdrew from Youzhou City, leaving only some slave soldiers in the city.

It was a strange thing for them, so the people in the city were terrified during this time.

Immediately afterwards, most of the slave soldiers also ran away, leaving only a few who refused to leave and still used their might in the city, but because most of the slave soldiers fled, the city gate had to be guarded.

It was precisely because of this that they began to try to enter Youzhou City freely.

To this day, they saw a pair of cavalry different from the barbarians entering the city.

His eyes swept over the people along the road, and Xiao Ming's heart suddenly became sour.

In the past ten years, what kind of torture has the people here suffered, at this time, the people lying on the wall of the square are unkempt, their faces are black and white, and they are worse than the homeless people.

The people were dressed in blackened clothes, which were patched but still full of holes.

What makes people even more unbearable to look at is the skinny bodies of these people, if it weren't for the yellow skin and black eyes, Xiao Ming really thought that he had encountered hungry people in Africa.

Niu Ben pursed his lips tightly along the way, his face was pale, and his mood at this time was self-evident.

"Your Highness, a hundred of them were caught." Lei Ming almost gritted his teeth to speak, and then he slammed into a slave soldier, "Call you eat so fat, call you eat so fat!" ”

The cavalry that followed this time all belonged to the Guanning Iron Cavalry, and when they saw that their fellow villagers had become like this now, they felt uncomfortable from the bottom of their hearts.

And then the anger was vented on these slave soldiers.

Originally, Xiao Ming was also going to behead these slave soldiers in front of the people, announcing that he had recovered Youzhou City.

But now he suddenly felt that what these people needed was not this empty ceremony, what they really needed was a bowl of rice porridge and a steamed bun.

The numb look proved that they wouldn't care who was coming now.

"It's better to transfer some grain from Cangzhou, so that the people can eat enough." Xiao Ming then said to Lei Ming: "These slave soldiers are temporarily escorted up to inquire about the affairs in the city. ”

Lei Ming nodded, and immediately escorted the slave soldiers away.

"From the time we entered the city to the time we killed the slave soldiers, these people just watched quietly, no one spoke, and no smile appeared, Your Highness, these people have become walking dead." Niu Ben was silent for a long time, and finally sighed slowly.

Xiao Ming is from modern times, although he has seen the embarrassment of the people of Qingzhou and the misery of the victims, but he has never seen such a group of people.

These civilians are just like the prisoners of war in the documentary about the concentration camps during World War II, silent and lifeless.

"They have been bullied by the barbarians for too long, and I am afraid they will not be able to recover for a while." Xiao Ming sighed.

Niu Ben nodded, "What His Highness said is very true, now these people are like frightened birds, but when the news spreads, these people will gradually understand, after all, many people have experienced that catastrophe, and it is impossible for them to have no memory of King Kang." ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Ming remembered what Lei Ming once said, in order to prevent his children from being infected with the blood of barbarians, the people of Youzhou would even fall to death their daughter's remaining children because of the right of the first night.

He said, "In that case, let's spread the news of the barbarian rout first." ”

Then he called Thunder and said a few words to him.

Lei Ming nodded, and immediately arranged a hundred cavalry to go in all directions.

"People, the barbarians were driven out of the pass by the army of the Great Yu State, we are the soldiers of the Great Yu State, now you don't have to be afraid, the army of the Great Yu Country is back, from now on you will never be bullied by the barbarians again, and the heroic spirit of King Kang in Youzhou can also be named."

The cavalry shouted.

They waved the military flag in their hands and repeated the phrase over and over again.

When this news reached the ears of the people of Youzhou, the expressions of some of the older people of Youzhou finally changed.

From the silence at the beginning, they gradually began to talk to each other, and when they came, they began to get excited.

But they were still standing far away, not daring to come closer.

However, after the cavalry passed the news in all directions, more and more people gathered from afar, and they looked at Xiao Ming and his party from a distance, like frightened deer.

Xiao Ming and Niu Ben glanced at each other at this time, and it seemed that this proposed the name of King Kang still had an effect.

At this time, Lei Ming also interrogated the slave soldiers.

"Your Highness, those slave soldiers said that there is also a granary in the city, which contains 20,000 stones of grain and grass, and the barbarians didn't have time to burn it when they left." Lei Ming said excitedly.

"This is great, I can see that this king can also open a warehouse and release grain once." Xiao Ming laughed.

Niu Ben also said happily: "20,000 stones are enough for the people of Youzhou City to eat for ten days and half a month." ”

After that, the two followed Lei Ming to search for the city, and soon found the granary in the city.

"The slave soldiers said that the barbarians drove the people of the city to cultivate grain around the city, and that all this grain was collected from the people, and that all they left for the people was some rice bran and wheat bran." Lei Ming said through gritted teeth.

As he spoke, he led his soldiers to open the door of the granary, and the rice and wheat inside were piled up.

"Go and tell the people of the city to come and get their food."

Xiao Ming said with a smile.
