After Xiahou Yuan was released from prison, he has been under house arrest. However, he also escaped the hard life of the prison and was able to eat and drink again and see the sun.

Qin Feng unanimously thought that Xiahou Yuan was perfunctory about Xiahou Yuan and wanted to take the opportunity to escape.

Will Guan Yu and Zhang Fei rebel against Liu Bei? No way. Therefore, Xiahou Yuan is also impossible.

However, because of Mrs. Xiahou's reasons, Qin Feng couldn't be too difficult for Xiahou Yuan.

This time, Xiahou Yuan learned from the guards' conversation that Qin Feng had suffered a loss under Xuchang City, and he was very happy, so he had an extra bowl for lunch. Now, he is lying in bed, closing his eyes and resting his mind. It looks harmless, but in fact, he has been looking for a chance to escape.

At this time, Dian Wei walked in and said angrily: "Xiahou Yuan, the lord wants to see you!" ”

"See me!" Xiahou Yuan sat up from the bed with a grunt, tidied up his clothes after getting out of bed, and shook his hand lightly: "My niece and son-in-law, I don't know if there is anything I want to see Uncle Ben!" ”

Dian Wei was furious, and suddenly walked over and grabbed the back of Xiahou Yuan's neck.

"Wow, let go, let go!" Xiahou Yuan screamed and kicked his limbs wildly, and was slipped out of the camp by Dian Weiti.

The Great Tent of the Chinese Army.

Dian Wei threw Xiahou Yuan on the ground, and the left and right tiger guards stepped forward, just kicking at the crook of the leg, which made Xiahou Yuan, who wanted to get up, plop and kneel on the ground involuntarily.

Xiahou Yuan's face was angry, but he was forced to say: "Niece and son-in-law, what do you want, you treat Uncle Ben like this!" ”

Qin Feng was furious, slapped the case, and shouted: "Xiahou Yuan." Now Xiahoudun is in Xuchang City, and he is looting the people's food. Watching 300,000 people starve to death. I can't say it, I have no choice but to send you out. As for whether you are dead or alive, it depends on your brother Xiahoudun. ”

"What!" Xiahou Yuan was taken aback and said: "Impossible, Brother Xiahou is as jealous as hatred, he argued for the people in the family back then, and he would never do such a thing!" ”

Qin Feng said angrily: "Jealousy and hatred? Argue for the people? Hmph...... I want to exchange grain for the people in the city, but your brother and lion opened his mouth and asked for a hundred catties of grain for one! 300,000 people in Xuchang City. Just ask who in the world can take out so much grain and grass at one time, your brother is clearly just going to sit and watch the people die! ”

"Ahh Xiahou Yuan was taken aback, and it was not Xiahou Yuan who was surprised, but Qin Feng's approach. Since ancient times, when the war was in chaos, the princes who sat and watched millions or tens of millions of people die abounded, and there were few rescues. At this moment, Xiahou Yuan really began to admire Qin Feng.

"The two sides are at war," he said. Guilt should not be imposed on the people. My brother may have been deceived by the villain for a while, and I can personally persuade ....... ”

Qin Feng didn't expect Xiahou Yuan to understand the matter, so he no longer embarrassed him, and said, "That's the case." You follow me Xuchang and his party. ”

……

Qin Feng brought Xiahou Yuan to the city of Xuchang.

Xiahou Yuan, who landed in the city again, was taken aback, he thought that Xiahou Yuan was dead. Exclaimed: "Virtuous brother! ”

Xiahou Yuan said in front of the battle: "Brother, you really ...... the food of the people in the city. ”

This is well known. Xiahoudun sighed and said: "Our army is short of food and grass, and I am helpless to be a brother. ”

Xiahou Yuan was heartbroken. said: "Brother, you really shouldn't be like this, this is not what you do, someone must be deceived behind it." Whoever it is, is plunging his brother into the land of injustice. Now, the prime minister wants to exchange food for the people, and the brother must not talk about it, if it is about the same, he will agree to the prime minister! ”

After speaking, Xiahou Yuan squeezed his eyebrows for a while. Because in his opinion, 300,000 people for millions of catties of grain is really a worthwhile thing, why bother to be infamous and exchange for more than 10 million catties. What's more, without Qin Feng sending tens of millions, only a few million grains, his army will have no food and grass, and will inevitably retreat.

At this moment, the crying is still permeating Xuchang City.

Xiahoudun is a chivalrous person, he was ruthless before, but now after seeing Xiahouyuan, his heart can no longer be ruthless. I only heard him say at the head of the city: "Qin Zijin, if you really want to save these people, you should let my brother go first." General Ben agreed to your request, and every ten catties of grain plus five bows and arrows were exchanged for one person! ”

Qin Feng had an army of 300,000 on his side, and he had indeed hoarded enough food. In his life, his greatest wish was to do something for the people. Now, the 300,000 people in Xuchang City are facing a desperate situation, how can he sit idly by.

"Okay, Xiahoudun, the prime minister will exchange a lot of food for the people, you should prepare immediately!" When Qin Feng said this, he glanced at Xiahou Yuan in front of the horse and said, "Xiahou Yuan, you can go." ”

Xiahou Yuan had just taken a step, his eyes rolled, he took it back, and said secretly: "There is a lonely city, even if I go back, I won't be able to help much, it is better to act in the Qin camp and see the opportunity." Thinking of this, he saluted Qin Feng and said, "Prime Minister is benevolent and righteous, Xiahou Yuan admires it, don't go to this Xuchang City!" ”

This made Qin Feng a little confused, what is the situation? Is Xiahou Yuan really planning to surrender?

However, in later generations, Xiahou Ba surrendered, and now everyone with a discerning eye knows that Cao Cao threw the Xiahou brothers in this place of death. In the face of a desperate situation, people ask for life, and it is inevitable to surrender to sincerity.

"Brother Xian, you want to rebel!" Xiahoudun's face changed greatly, in his heart, the Xiahou family only has those who are loyal to the Lord, and there will never be anyone who turns his back on the Lord and defects to the enemy.

Xiahou Yuan shook his head and said, "Brother, you can do it yourself." After speaking, he returned to the Qin army formation, looking unwilling to see Xiahoudun.

The cry always came from the city of Xuchang.

Today's Qin Feng can't take care of Xiahou Yuan's trivial matter at all, his heart is all on 300,000 people. Said at the moment; "Xiahoudun, Hugh wants to say anything else, send these people out first!"

Xiahoudun was angry with his brother's defection to the enemy, but he was a trustworthy and righteous man, not to mention that getting food and arrows would also be of great help to defend the city, and shouted: "In this case, if you withdraw your army for thirty miles, we will begin to exchange ......." ”

……

In early winter, the sun in the sky is not too poisonous, but because of the drought, the temperature has not dropped much.

Under the sun, the land was dry and cracked, and there was only a few grasses. Swinging in the wind in the withered yellow. The trees, on the other hand, are completely bare. The whitening trunk of the tree is easy to see at a glance. It grows on a desolate land.

However, a few months ago, it was a rich and verdant land.

On this ground, the lonely city of Xuchang City towers.

Now that the four gates are open, countless people are trembling and limping, and they are excited to leave the city.

"10,000 catties of grain, 5,000 arrows, and let a thousand people out of the city!" After Cao Jun finished counting. Batch by piece, the people were released from the city.

After the people left the city, they were immediately caught by the Qin army, first giving water and then gruel to drink.

It's not that the Qin army doesn't give them food, but that the people have been hungry for several days, and they suddenly overeat, and their stomachs will not be able to bear it.

"Prime Minister ......."

"Prime Minister ......, woo woo woo ......." The people couldn't say the lofty words of the Shi clan, and they knelt down in front of Qin Feng. Weeping and prostrating in gratitude.

Qin Feng, who was supervising the exchange process on the horse, couldn't sit still, he hurriedly dismounted, came to the front of the people, and helped him up in turn. Seeing tens of thousands of people. The clothes do not cover the body, like a beggar, and the scene after the huge gathering is shocking and poignant.

China has the richest land in the world. Why can't we let the people live well!

Qin Feng's eyes moistened, and he exclaimed, "It's the true appearance that has not fulfilled its responsibilities." Let you suffer ....... After speaking, Qin Feng bowed deeply.

The people's cries were louder. They were grateful to Qin Feng from the bottom of their hearts.

At the head of the city, the generals Xiahou Xuan and Chen Jiao looked at this qiē.

Chen Jiao set up a pergola with his hands, and couldn't help sighing: "This matter has never happened in ancient and modern times, Qin Zijin is benevolent, righteous and loves the people, and it is really worthy of his reputation." ”

"Hmph......." Xiahoudun snorted coldly.

Chen Jiao came to his senses and hurriedly said: "General, Qin Zijin has used three million catties of grain, which has consumed almost all the reserves of his army. He simply couldn't draw food for supplies in the short term, and his troops and horses would soon retreat. The general won the battle, and it was gratifying to ....... ”

"Hmph......." Xiahoudun snorted coldly again.

Day and night, Qin Feng used food and arrows to rescue all the 300,000 people in Xuchang.

In this way, together with the Qin army, 600,000 people were gathered.

The consumption of 600,000 people gathered together is that few governments in later generations can support it for a long time.

Therefore, Qin Feng did not stop, and sent 300,000 people away in the coming day, distributed in the three prefectures of Gunzhou, Yuzhou, and Sili, so that they could disperse and eat.

As a result, the news spread to the world, and the world was shaken for a while.

The princes of the world scolded Qin Feng for being an idiot, and he gave up the last battle for the sake of some untouchables.

However, Qin Feng's righteous deeds in Xuchang won him unprecedented prestige among the people.

Yongliang, Jingzhou, Huainan, Jiangdong, the people in the great drought all over the country yearn for Qin Feng's rule, they are in groups of three or five, or a group of hundreds, and some even move north collectively in the village and enter Qin Feng's territory.

People are the root of war, and when the princes sensed that something was wrong and began to block the border, nearly 10 million people had already migrated to Qin Feng's rule.

The princes everywhere regret not falling, there is no one, how to produce in the coming year, and where to recruit troops!

In 198 A.D., a large number of people in the west and south of the Yangtze River, due to natural disasters and the rule of Qin Feng, entered the customs or crossed the Yangtze River to reach the Central Plains and the northern regions, and reclaimed and settled under the unified arrangement of the Qin forces. This process of large-scale population migration was called "Touqin" by later historians.

And in later generations, the most famous population migration in Chinese history, "Breaking through the Guandong", is listed as the two major population migration processes in Chinese history.

"Surrender to Qin" is a tragic history of suffering, but it is also a feat of immigration. Its impact on the shape of the world is unimaginable.

The population under Qin Feng's rule grew by leaps and bounds, and when the catastrophe passed, the burst of productivity was unimaginable.

And the princes everywhere, thus shaking the foundation. The sharp decline in the population has made the areas under their rule uninhabited for hundreds of miles, the economic and food production capacity has been sharply reduced, and at the same time, it has become difficult to recruit soldiers.

In order not to become the commander of the light pole, the princes had to close their borders to prevent further migrations.

For Qin Feng, the general trend is to develop for the better.

But after he took out grain for the people, he had to face a very difficult dilemma, that is, there was no food.

There is no way to fight without food, and the 100,000 enemies in Xuchang City, who have enough food, will be like a nail, nailed to his hinterland. In addition, enemies who have enough food can attack at any time, thus evolving from nails to sharp knives ....... (To be continued......)
