Yuan Qingshan said: "General, even though he harbors evil intentions, but the measures he proposed can solve the urgent task, we can let the old and weak women and children enter the customs first."
"No," Su Yuchi flatly refused.
Yuan Qingshan couldn't imagine that Su Yuchi's attitude was still so resolute, he sighed and said: "General, seeing that the rainstorm is coming, and the tens of thousands of refugees outside are not clothed, hungry, and have no place to shelter from the wind and rain, can the general bear to watch them trapped and die outside the city like this, and the food sent by Hu Xiaotian can only be in a moment's time, and it will be exhausted in a few days, so the fundamental solution to the problem is to give these refugees a way to live, and they are also the people of Dakang."
Su Yuchi said: "The kindness of women, if you really let those refugees into the customs, they will inevitably be taken by Hu Xiaotian."
He clenched his fists and made up his mind: "Without the will of the imperial court, no refugees shall be allowed to enter the city." ” Hu Xiaotian led the team to leave the refugee camp at dusk, Long Xiyue was sad, and whispered: "How can it be so miserable, Xiaotian, can we help these people?"
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said, "I'll do my best." ” The refugees behind him fell to their knees and shouted sadly: "The prince is a thousand years old, the princess Niangniang, please let us into the customs, the wind and rain are coming, we have nowhere to hide, as long as the prince takes care of us, we will repay the prince's kindness even if we are cattle and horses in the future." ” Long Xiyue heard the miserable cry for help behind her, and she couldn't bear to look at it.
Hu Xiaotian motioned to his subordinates to escort Long Xiyue and the others to go first, and he slowly came back to his senses, and he said loudly: "It's not that I don't want to contain you, you should also know that Yunyang is not my territory, if you want to enter the customs, you must first obtain the consent of General Su Yuchi, I, Hu Xiaotian, swear here today, as long as General Su agrees to let you go, I will take in one of you Xichuan refugees, and I will treat you equally, help you settle down, and ask all villagers to be more patient." ” There is a humane among the refugees: "Don't believe him, he is just like Su Yuchi, he is hypocritical and deceives us" Hu Xiaotian said: "I know that some of you may not believe in my sincerity, you can rest assured, the relief will never stop here, from today onwards, I will send a steady stream of food and medicine here to help you solve your urgent needs." ” The people who originally questioned Hu Xiaotian stopped talking, after all, Hu Xiaotian had already put it into practical action, and everyone understood that the current Yunyang was Su Yuchi's final say, not Hu Xiaotian's words.
Su Yuchi stood on top of the city tower and looked down coldly, Hu Xiaotian's words were full of anger, deafening, he naturally heard it clearly, he did not deny that Hu Xiaotian said all the truth, but saying these words to those refugees was obviously instigating, Hu Xiaotian was directing all the contradictions to himself.
When Hu Xiaotian left Yunyang, Su Yuchi still routinely saw him off.
Hu Xiaotian said: "General Su, we will continue to send disaster relief materials in the future, and I hope that General Su can release them." ” Su Yuchi said: "The prince's compassion is really admirable, but it is a matter of defense, and it is inconvenient for Su to make decisions without authorization, and today's matter is already an exception." ” Hu Xiaotian smiled and said, "General Su doesn't have to worry, I will bear any responsibility caused by this." ” Su Yuchi smiled and said: "Some things are not just talking, where the responsibility lies, I hope the prince will be more considerate."
It's better to do this, from tomorrow, I will send someone to be responsible for receiving all the disaster relief materials donated by the prince, Su will check and deliver them one by one, I don't know what the prince wants."
Hu Xiaotian looked at Su Yuchi and said, "Since General Su can't believe me, why do I have to believe General Su?"
The situation did not improve because of Hu Xiaotian's arrival, after Hu Xiaotian went deep into the refugee camp to condole, the area of Xichuan Yunyang entered a long rainy season, the earthquake caused many roads in Xichuan to collapse, and the east and west of Xichuan were also isolated, and the refugees in the east of Xichuan continued to go to Yunyang, Hu Xiaotian's news of disaster relief has been transmitted to Xichuan through the mouths of refugees, and it is useless for these refugees to be a light in the darkness, so that they can see the hope of survival.
In just three days, the number of refugees gathered outside the west gate of Yunyang has reached nearly 80,000, and the rapid increase in refugees has caused a shortage of food.
Su Yuchi is still waiting for the order of the imperial court, he is a person who follows the rules, before the imperial court officially orders, it is impossible for him to let these refugees into the customs, although Su Yuchi also sympathizes with these refugees in the bottom of his heart, but once the current more than 80,000 refugees enter Yunyang, the situation will become uncontrollable.
Su Yuchi was obviously aware of some internal dissatisfaction, these soldiers under him are also people, people are not ruthless, they are full of sympathy for the refugees, and they are dissatisfied with the way they deal with them, Su Yuchi does not blame these subordinates, as time goes by, his heart also begins to become restless, if this situation continues, the situation of the refugees outside will only get worse and worse.
After Yuan Qingshan returned from the refugee camp this time, he brought Su Yuchi a bad news, the death toll of the refugees in the last two days was more than 500, hunger and disease are taking more and more people's lives, this rainstorm that has lasted for many days still has no signs of stopping, Yuan Qingshan lamented: "General, how innocent the people are, how can we bear to watch them hovering on the verge of death Since Hu Xiaotian promised to accept these refugees, why don't we give these refugees a way out."
Su Yuchi said: "What I said before is not clear enough, without an order from the imperial court, we can't let one person enter the customs."
A dazzling bolt of lightning pierced the sky, followed by a dull stream of thunder.
In the sound of wind and rain, the miserable cries outside the city gate continued, and the refugees shouted in unison: "Let us enter the city, General Su, we will never stay in Yunyang, please General Su will give me a way to go to the king of Zhenhai." ” Yuan Qingshan looked at Su Yuchi expectantly.
Su Yuchi pursed his lips, and at this time, a report came from outside: "General Su, the imperial court has replied."
A drenched messenger walked into the room quickly, and Su Yuchi said eagerly without waiting for him to pay homage: "What does the court say?"
The messenger took out the carefully wrapped reply from his bosom.
Su Yuchi took the reply letter and unfolded it, and read it quickly, but his eyes dimmed.
Yuan Qingshan on the side couldn't wait to say: "General, how can the imperial court reply?"
Su Yuchi said: "There is an order from the imperial court that Xichuan must not be allowed to enter Guanzhong alone. ” "What" Yuan Qingshan's voice was full of anger and dissatisfaction.
Su Yuchi said in a deep voice: "Convey this order of the imperial court, if anyone dares to disobey the order of the imperial court, they will not be spared."
At this time, a general in charge of garrisoning the west gate hurried over, but it was those refugees who had cut down trees and had already built a pontoon bridge over the moat, and at present, about 100 people had passed through the pontoon bridge and were slapping and banging on the city gate, and more and more refugees gathered outside the city gate.
Su Yuchi heard that the situation was urgent, and hurriedly braved the wind and rain to climb the West Gate Tower, and looked up, but saw that a pontoon bridge had been erected on the moat, and the pontoon bridge was connected by the felled trees, connecting the two sides of the moat.
Su Yuchi couldn't help but be furious when he saw the scene in front of him, if it weren't for the indifference of the soldiers defending the city, this situation would not have happened at all, he said angrily: "Are you all blind, can't you see these chaotic people attacking the city" Everyone lowered their heads and was silent, expressing their dissatisfaction with Su Yuchi's way of doing things in this way.
Su Yuchi said angrily: "Pass my order, let them quickly retreat outside the moat, if they dare to continue to rush the city gate, they will not be spared."
A herald conveyed Su Yuchi's order.
But the refugees below didn't listen at all, and one of the refugees shouted: "Old and young masters, the king of Zhenhai obviously promised to accept us, but this surnamed Su got in the way, he fought with Xichuan, and even we all held a grudge, he wanted to trap us here alive."
Someone said: "If you fight with him, you will die if you fight, and you will die if you are trapped here, even if we die, we will die vigorously." ” The refugees were agitated and agitated to each other, and they once again carried the logs and rushed towards the city gates.
Su Yuchi roared angrily: "Give them an ultimatum, if they don't retreat, they will be killed."
Su Yuchi's ultimatum did not play any role at all for the refugees who had lost their minds, and seeing that the situation was about to fall into an uncontrollable situation, Su Yuchi secretly made up his mind and shouted: "Archers prepare" Two hundred archers drew their bows and arrows from the tower, and the cold tips of the arrowheads were aimed at the refugees below, but the expressions of each soldier were extremely painful and tangled.
Su Yuchi yelled: "Release the arrow" An order was given, but no one let go of the bowstring, Yuan Qingshan had tears in his eyes, and roared sadly: "General" If they are facing an invading enemy, they will not hesitate, but the city gate is full of unarmed refugees, these people just want to find a way to live, they don't want to attack the city.
Su Yuchi glared at Yuan Qingshan angrily, suddenly raised his foot and kicked him his lower abdomen, and Yuan Qingshan was kicked to the ground.
Su Yuchi pulled out the sword at his waist, pointed at the group of archers and said, "I'll say it again, release the arrows."
"Boom" "Boom" The feather arrow pierced through the layers of rain and shot at the refugees who were rushing to the city gate, and there were bursts of miserable wails under the city gate, Su Yuchi thought that shooting a few refugees would be able to set an example, but what he didn't expect was that instead of making those refugees retreat, more refugees rushed up, and this time there were women and children who rushed across the pontoon Please pay attention to the Octopus public authority signal stonesid, wonderful daily push.
