Snuggled up to Liu Wei's chest, Tang Ji was as well-behaved as a finch.

Although she was speechless, her face was full of sweetness, but it showed that her heart was sweet like a pot of honey poured into it.

With Tang Ji in his arms, Liu Wei stood at the front of the team on horseback, waiting for the dragoon guards who had gone to explore the path to turn back.

In a matter of moments, he saw a dragoon guard galloping back.

When the team approached, the dragoon guard did not directly report the situation in the village to Liu Bian, but rode up to Deng Zhan's side and whispered something in his ear.

After listening to the dragoon's reply, Deng Zhan was stunned for a moment, turned his head and asked him: "But really?" ”

"I'll search the village, but nothing else will be found!" The dragoon guard, who clenched his hands into fists and came back and forth to find out the situation, said to Deng Zhan in a very positive tone: "There is no difference! ”

waved his hand at the dragoon guard, and before Deng Zhan could speak, Liu Wei asked him, "What's wrong?" Could it be that there is an empty village ahead? ”

When he said this, Liu Wei's brows were tightly wruffled.

He thought of the earlier days when the Songshan generation of Qin troops fought with the Qingzhou army.

In villages that are at the center of the war, the villagers often leave, and even some villagers who refuse to flee their homes will die in the chaos sooner or later.

The fact that there was an empty village here did not surprise him.

It's just that when you take Tang Ji into the village, you won't be able to find the feeling of being in Bishan Taojiazhuang at all because there is no one in the village.

Turning his head, Tang Ji looked up at Liu Wei, and his expression also revealed a touch of sentimentality.

If she hadn't followed Liu Wei through the escape, was born in an official family, and later married into the palace, she would definitely not understand what the war was all about.

followed Liu Wei all the way to escape, Tang Ji also saw countless tragedies, and also understood what kind of desolation the troubled times brought to the world.

Staring at Deng Zhan, Liu Bian's color was already a little solemn.

Seeing that his expression had changed a little badly, Deng Zhan hurriedly said: "It's not that there is no one in the village, it's just ......."

"If there are people, then it is good!" Hearing Deng Zhan say that there were people in the village, Liu Wei breathed a deep sigh of relief and said to him: "General Deng led the dragon cavalry guard to enter the village with this king, and General Zhao led the tiger guard to be on guard!" ”

As he spoke, he clamped his legs towards the horse's belly, shook the reins, and walked towards the village.

"Your Highness!" As soon as Liu Wei's war horse stepped out of a front hoof, Deng Zhan hurriedly said: "Don't go into that village!" ”

Deng Zhan's behavior really made Liu Wei feel a little strange.

Turning his head to look at him, Liu Wei frowned tightly, and asked suspiciously, "Why?" ”

"The village is full of Qingzhou military families!" Riding on horseback, Deng Zhan clenched his fists and said to Liu Wei: "Your Highness, it's better not to go!" ”

Knowing that the village was full of Qingzhou military family members, Liu Wei was also stunned.

The Qin army broke through the Qingzhou army, although it did not carry out a massacre, but the process of the battle was no different from the massacre.

A mountain fire burned the Qingzhou army clean, and there were only a few hundred people who fled the barren mountain with Sun Guan.

These people who fled will naturally pick up their families, and those Qingzhou soldiers who died in the barren mountains will have to stay in Songshan for fear that their families will have to stay in Songshan!

"The two armies are fighting, so why embarrass the family!" Frowning and staring at the village in front of him, Liu Wei waved at Deng Zhan and said, "Follow this king to take a look!" ”

Seeing that he insisted on going, Deng Zhan didn't dare to persuade him anymore, so he had to answer with his fists.

Because he knew that the people in the village were all the families of the Qingzhou Army, Liu Wei's face was much uglier than when he saw the village before.

The Qingzhou army surrendered to Cao Cao and was not valued by Cao Cao.

In the entire Cao army sequence, they were the poorest equipped and the most sloppy in training.

Many Qingzhou troops went out to fight, and because there was no land to cultivate in the rear, they would bring their families with them, and with their meager military salaries, they could feed the whole family.

Liu Wei rode his horse to the village, and Deng Zhan and the others followed closely, not daring to fall even half a step.

The Qingzhou army was burned clean by the Qin army that day, and their families must have hated Liu Wei, the king of Qin.

The whole village is the family of the Qingzhou army, and when Liu Wei enters the village, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will lose their minds because they hate him.

Songshan and his party, Liu Wei's safety is what Deng Zhan and others are most concerned about!

More than 500 dragoon guards gathered behind Liu Wei and Tang Ji, all the way to the small village in front.

As he was marching, Tang Ji, who was nestled in Liu Wei's arms, asked him softly: "Your Highness, since you know that all the families in the village are members of the Qingzhou Army, why do you still want to go?" ”

"Soldiers fight, why are wives and children innocent?" While riding forward, Liu Wei said to Tang Ji: "They stayed in Songshan, I think there are various reasons for coming, I'll wait and take a look!" ”

Listening to what he said, Tang Ji sighed softly.

Whether it is leading the army to fight or sitting in Luoyang, Liu Wei is always decisive and never considers the life and death of the enemy.

But every time I know that innocent people have been implicated in war, the compassion in my nerves is immediately touched.

Sometimes in the face of Liu Wei, Tang Ji didn't know if he could be regarded as a decisive hero, or a compassionate and good person.

Tang Ji's sigh was clearly heard, and Liu Wei did not say anything.

He knew that with the experience of following him to escape from Luoyang, everything he did was, in Tang Ji's opinion, all of them had truths that did not need to be explained.

The village was getting closer and closer, and there were still dozens of steps away from the entrance of the village, and Liu Wei saw two dragoon guards standing outside the village from a distance, and the other dragoons who had entered the village earlier were nowhere to be seen.

Surrounded by Deng Zhan and others, Liu Wei walked forward, and at the same time instructed Wang Liu behind him: "Go and ask those two soldiers what the situation in the village is!" ”

"No!" With a fist in response, Wang Liu rode his horse towards the entrance of the village.

From a distance, they saw Wang Liu riding a horse towards them, and when she was about to get closer, the two dragoons guarding the entrance of the village hurriedly clasped their fists and bowed, putting on a posture of waiting.

When the two dragoons approached, Wang Liu lifted the reins and shouted to them, "Your Highness asks you and others, what is the situation in the village?" ”

"There is a lack of food and clothing, and there are many people who die of freezing and starvation!" Putting down the fists he had picked up, one of the dragoons looked up at Wang Liu on horseback and said, "Your Highness, don't go into the village!" ”

"Whether Your Highness enters the village or not, it's not up to you to wait for the final say!" Glaring at the dragoon guard who replied, Wang Liu said to him: "It's not General Ben who has the final say, you just need to tell what the situation is in the village!" ”

"It's all women and children!" The dragoon guard who was told by Wang Liu lowered his head and said with a worried expression: "The stench in the village is unbearable, and the corpses of people who died of freezing and starvation are piled up in many houses, and some of the corpses are already rotting!" ”

Knowing this, Wang Liu looked up at the village.

Since she had not yet entered the village, she could not confirm the Dragoon's reply.

However, the dragoon guards have always been responsible for inquiring about intelligence and assassination, and the news they probe should not be bad.

Without asking the two dragoons any more, she lifted the reins, turned her war horse, and ran towards Liu Wei and the others, who were slowly advancing towards the village.

"Your Highness!" Before Liu Wei approached, Wang Liu reined in his war horse, hugged his fists and said: "The last general has already inquired about the truth, there are mostly women and children in the village, and there are many dead people who lack food and clothing. The last general secretly thought that His Royal Highness still didn't want to lead Princess Tang into the village! ”

On the way to the village, Liu Wei already had a faint bad feeling.

Smelling this from Wang Liu's mouth, he frowned, and asked Deng Zhan and Zhao Yun on the side: "Our army broke through Sun Guan and never gave support to the family members of the Qingzhou army?" ”

"Back to Your Highness!" Riding on horseback, Zhao Yun cupped his fists and bowed slightly, saying, "The Qingzhou army is the enemy's ......."

"Enemy Army!" Pouting, Liu Wei showed a playful sneer and said: "Although they are enemies of this king, they are also from the Central Plains after all!" Do you have to watch them die of starvation here? ”

The affairs in the Songshan area were not handled by Zhao Yun, but it was Liu Wei who asked questions, and he replied in passing.

From Liu Wei's expression, Zhao Yun could see that he was very dissatisfied with the handling of this matter, so he didn't dare to say more, just followed him and slowly approached the entrance of the village.

Seeing that he was about to arrive at the entrance of the village, Liu Wei restrained his horse and asked Tang Ji, who was snuggled in his arms: "Tang Ji, the village here is very different from Taojiazhuang back then, do you want to enter the village with this king?" ”

The reason why he asked such a sentence was because Liu Wei knew that there were many women and children in the village who died of cold and starvation, for fear that Tang Ji would see the tragic situation, and his slender heart would not be able to stand it.

Tang Ji didn't follow Liu Wei's meaning and said that she didn't want to enter the village, but pursed her lips and said with a sad face: "Although the village is all the family members of the Qingzhou army, they are just women and children after all, and they are harmless to His Highness." The concubine also wants to enter the village to take a look, if there is anything to help, it can also help! ”

Tang Ji said this, Liu Wei knew that even if she was persuaded, it would be impossible to persuade her to stay outside the village with peace of mind, so she had to nod, gently clamped her legs on the horse's belly, and rode the horse towards the entrance of the village.

The two dragoons standing at the entrance of the village saw Liu Wei leading the team to come, and hurriedly clasped their hands into fists and bowed deeply.

Without looking at the two dragoons, Liu Wei rode his horse and walked straight in front of them.

was about to enter the entrance of the village, Deng Zhan suddenly reined in his war horse, and looked around with a pair of eyes.

Comparable to Deng Zhan, Wang Liu and Wang Zhen also urged the war horses faster before entering the village, and almost walked side by side with Liu Wei.

While walking towards the entrance of the village, Wang Liu and Wang Zhen's eyes glanced around.

Wang Zhen frowned, with an unconcealable nervousness on his face, and pressed his right hand on the hilt of the long sword.

Wang Liu, who was walking on the other side of Liu Wei, although he also pressed the hilt of the sword with his hand, his face was much calmer, and his face was only very vigilant.
