At this time, the refugees in front of the checkpoint were already kneeling on the ground, kowtowing and begging the local soldiers guarding the checkpoint to be merciful and let them pass, they didn't want to die under the sword of the rebels.

The reason why the refugees were like this was because they regarded Li Yuntian and the others who were going to Xuanhua City as officers and soldiers who had come to reinforce the checkpoint, so they panicked, and a feeling of panic and despair quickly spread among the crowd, so they knelt down and begged.

Most of these refugees are people from the interior who have migrated to Cochin for more than 20 years, and the rebels in Cochin regard these people as aliens and often kill them quickly.

Nowadays, the Jiaozhi rebels are arrogant, which makes those inland people who have moved to Jiaozhi have to leave their homes and flee to Guangxi, and from Xuanhua Mansion to Taiping Mansion is the most important and safest way to escape back to Guangxi, so it has attracted many refugees.

In addition to the inland people, the remaining refugees are basically the Jiaozhi Tuguan and the relatives and clansmen of the Tuguan, although they belong to the same clan as those rebels, but some of them are concerned about the Ming Dynasty, and some have enmity with the rebels, so they also have to flee to Guangxi for refuge.

When Li Yuntian and a group of warriors rushed to the checkpoint, a child of seven or eight years old, dressed in rags and with a dirty face, suddenly ran out of the refugees, relied on his thin body, quickly got through the wooden fence blocking the road, slipped through the native soldiers behind the wooden fence, and ran quickly to a grass hut on the side of the road.

There was a table in the hut, and two leaders of the native soldiers were drinking in it, and some wine and food were placed on the table.

Under Li Yuntian's gaze, the thin child ran to the table and quickly grabbed a few pieces of dough on the plate on the table, and then turned around and ran towards the checkpoint.

Due to the suddenness of the incident, the two leaders of the native soldiers did not react for a while, and watched as the emaciated child left.

Although the emaciated boy managed to get a few pieces of bread from the table, he was not so lucky this time, and when he tried to avoid the native soldiers behind the wooden fence, he lost his hand and was firmly grasped by the collar by a strong native soldier.

The emaciated boy suddenly became anxious and struggled to escape from the strong soldier, but his strength was limited, and he could not break free from the strong soldier's grasp.

Then the emaciated child turned around and kicked and struck at the sturdy soldiers.

Seeing this, the sturdy soldier straightened his arm and pulled the emaciated child outward, because his hand was longer than the emaciated child's leg, so the emaciated child could not hit him no matter how hard he tried, and the surrounding native soldiers could not help laughing.

Li Yuntian's brows furrowed slightly, and then he walked over, he felt that this kind of scene was not the time to play with thin children.

Seeing that Li Yuntian moved, the surrounding military attachés and sergeants of the Xiaowu Army hurriedly followed.

Just when Li Yuntian was about to come to the side of the strong native soldier, something unexpected happened, and the thin child suddenly grabbed the strong native soldier's hand in a hurry and bit him fiercely on the wrist.

"Oops!" The sturdy soldier felt the burning pain of the bite, and he couldn't help but scream, and let go of the hand that had grasped the thin child's collar.

The emaciated boy then threw his legs and ran towards the wooden fence, but after a few steps he was stopped by the soldiers in front of him, and he was held down by two soldiers on the shoulders and unable to move.

The sturdy native soldier shook his bitten wrist, his eyes flashed fiercely, and he said a dialect that Li Yuntian couldn't understand viciously, and walked towards the thin child with a fierce attitude.

"Not good!" Li Yuntian felt the murderous aura on the strong earth soldier, and he was suddenly taken aback in his heart, and hurriedly quickened his pace and ran towards the thin child.

The sturdy soldier was very close to the thin child, Li Yuntian didn't go far, he had already come to the thin child's body, reached out and grabbed the thin child's clothes and lifted it up, so frightened that the thin child's face turned pale with a brush, and he held the few pieces of dough tightly in his hand.

Then, under the stunned gaze of everyone around, the sturdy native soldier cursed a few words of dialect in his mouth, and after turning around in place twice, he threw the thin child out of the left front of Li Yuntian.

Seeing this, the people around him suddenly burst into an exclamation, with the thin constitution of a thin child, if he fell to the ground, even if he didn't die, half his life would be gone.

"Ah~~" The thin child could no longer hold back the fear in his heart, and let out a scream in the air.

Looking at the thin child who fell to the open space in front of him, Li Yuntian didn't care much, ran over at the speed of a 100-meter sprint, and hugged the thin child who fell down in his arms under the concerned gaze of everyone.

The thin child was already so frightened that his face was bloodless at this time, and he looked at Li Yuntian with a frightened expression, his eyes were full of fear, he only felt a burst of clouds and fog before, and then inexplicably appeared in Li Yuntian's arms.

Seeing this, Li Yuntian smiled at the thin child, which was considered comforting, and then put him down.

The thin child was now weak, where was there still the slightest strength, and he sat down on his buttocks, gasping for breath, and looking at Li Yuntian with palpitations.

Several sergeants of the Xiaowu Army immediately rushed towards the sturdy soldier with expressionless faces, and they dared to rush into Li Yuntian, they were simply impatient.

The sturdy native soldier realized that he had caused a big disaster, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt on the ground, and kept kowtowing to Li Yuntian, muttering something in his mouth.

"Wait a minute!" Li Yuntian glanced at the sturdy soldier who was begging for mercy, his brows furrowed slightly, and he opened his mouth to call out to the few Xiaowu soldiers who had already walked to Zhuangshi's side.

Although the behavior of the strong native soldier seems to be very hateful, he is a native soldier of the Tusi Yamen, and the social environment in which he lives determines his words and deeds, so he cannot be required by the standards of ordinary people.

Moreover, the emaciated child was not injured, and Li Yuntian did not want to get involved in the affairs of the Tusi Yamen prematurely when he first arrived, because in order to quell the rebellion in Jiaozhi, the attitude of the local Tusi Yamen was very important.

"Get up." Then, Li Yuntian raised his hand upwards at the strong native soldiers.

Although the sturdy earth soldier couldn't understand Li Yuntian's words, he understood his action, and he was immediately relieved, and after kowtowing heavily to Li Yuntian, he got up from the ground, bowed down and stood there, bowing his head and not daring to look at Li Yuntian.

Although those refugees didn't know, the local soldiers at the scene had already received the news that Li Yuntian and others were the guards of General Dingnan, and General Dingnan was now the biggest official in Guangxi and Jiaozhi.

"Let me introduce myself, this official is a military attache in the Xiaowu army sent by the emperor to quell the rebellion, and this time I went to Xuanhua City with General Dingnan."

Because of the thrilling scene just now, the people at the scene looked at Li Yuntian, Li Yuntian groaned for a while, climbed onto a big rock next to the checkpoint, and shouted at the refugees kneeling in front of the checkpoint:

"This official can clearly tell you that Jiaozhi is the territory opened up by Emperor Taizong to me for the Ming Dynasty, and the emperor will definitely not give up it, and is ready to mobilize the strength of the whole country to quell the rebellion in Jiaozhi."

"General Dingnan was supposed to follow the Xiaowu army to fight the rebellion, but the emperor was concerned about the safety of the people in Jiaozhi, so he asked General Dingnan to come to Jiaozhi in advance."

As he spoke, Li Yuntian glanced around at the refugees who were looking at him, and announced impassionedly, "Next year, 100,000 Xiaowu troops will enter Jiaozhi, and under the leadership of General Dingnan, those rebels in Jiaozhi will be exterminated, and the people of Jiaozhi will be at peace." ”

"General Dingnan will set up a refuge camp in Xuanhua Mansion, open the granary of Xuanhua City to provide relief to the people who came to take refuge, instead of leaving your hometown to go to Guangxi, it is better to stay in Xuanhua Mansion, not only to have food and clothing, but also to help General Dingnan at that time."

Then, Li Yuntian pointed to the wooden fence at the checkpoint at the sergeant of the Xiaowu Army not far away, and gave an order in a deep voice, "Open it, if anyone wants to go to Guangxi, it must not be stopped." ”

When the sergeants of the Xiaowu Army heard this, they immediately rushed up and demolished the wooden fences, and the local soldiers at the scene couldn't help but look at each other, and the refugees looked at the scene in front of them in amazement.

Most of the refugees could understand Li Yuntian's words, and Xuanhua Mansion had already posted a notice that Li Yuntian led the Xiaowu army, which had made great achievements in the battle to quell the rebellion of the Han King, to come to Jiaozhi to exterminate the rebels, but no one expected that Li Yuntian would come so quickly.

Those refugees who couldn't understand what Li Yuntian was saying also realized the strangeness of the shape at this time, because the sergeants of the Xiaowu Army had already begun to remove the wooden fence blocking the road.

At the same time, at Li Yuntian's signal, the native soldiers hurriedly lowered the men hanging from the tree, and untied the ropes on the old and young women and children under the tree, causing the old and young women and children to cry bitterly around the men who were lying on the ground weakly.

Seeing this, Li Yuntian shook his head a little helplessly, and asked the soldiers to bring some food for those old and young women and children, so that they were grateful and devoured them, and it could be seen that these people had been hungry for several days.

Jiaozhi was fighting two years ago, and the grain harvest was naturally not much better, coupled with the government's grain collection and the rebels' grabbing of grain, it is not easy to have a full meal in Jiaozhi now.

After listening to what Li Yuntian said, the refugees got together and muttered for a while, and then made two different choices: about one-third of the people went to Taiping City for safety, and the other two-thirds turned around and returned to Xuanhua City.

Li Yuntian stood on the stone and silently watched the refugees who were heading for Taiping City pass in front of him, he didn't expect that he could make those refugees change their minds in a few words, how many people could be persuaded to return, and those who escaped would naturally come back after the Jiaozhi-shaped shì stabilized.

Dozens of military attaches and sergeants of the Xiaowu Army gathered around the stone, seemingly indifferent, but in fact vigilantly watching the movements around them, at this moment, none of those refugees could have imagined that the young man standing on the stone was the dignified General Dingnan!

After the refugees blocking the mountain pass were gone, Li Yuntian's stand-in immediately ordered to set off, and the group rushed to Xuanhua City at a gallop.!^!
