Chapter 860 Chang'an, Chang'an, long-term peace and stability! You say I am a righteous man? Could it be that you are mocking me!
Zheng Miao subconsciously felt that he had become deaf because of his old age.
It was a sudden disaster that made my head confused.
That’s why I misheard Su Jiao’s words.
After all, how can a soldier not take advantage of the chaos to rob?
And the man in front of him grabbed his arms, wasn't he just to stop him from drawing his sword to resist?
Zheng Miao said with an increasingly sad face: "I will ask my father to give all the money he can find to the Shangguan and all the military commanders."
"As for food, it is really All of them have fallen into the cracks in the ground. My elders in Dongxiaoli have not eaten for a day!"
The minister Zhou Qingchen frowned slightly and said with some dissatisfaction: "Servant Su, this is obviously a deaf person. The official thought there was no need to tell them much.”
“I’ll just wait until Haosheng completes Lord Chang’an’s order!”
Zheng Miao hurriedly bowed again and begged: "I hope that Shangguan will forgive me for the sake of being a leader in the army!"
While begging for mercy, Zheng Miao's The head moves slightly to the left.
As soon as Su Jiao said the word 'no', Zheng Miao's head suddenly tilted to the right.
In this way, Dong Xiaoli and his father can understand that Zheng Miao's negotiations have completely failed, and they will have to use shurikens to protect their only remaining relatives and their chance of survival at the most tragic time!
Su Jiao did not see Zheng Miao's hidden intentions in his heart, and only saw Zheng Miao's pitiful and pleading face.
Faintly, Su Jiao seemed to understand why Ying Chengxuan was so determined to come to Zheng County in person.
Su Jiao's hands holding Zheng Miao's arms became harder and his voice became gentler and louder: "Thank you for your efforts, Zheng Li is working hard to raise food."
"The food I carry is enough for everyone. Chew it until we return to Zheng County!”
“I only need cooking utensils!”
“Zheng Lizheng, can you understand?”
Hearing the word "no" coming out of Su Jiao's mouth, Zheng Ji immediately twisted his neck.
But just halfway through, Zheng Miao heard Su Jiaoyan say again that they only needed cooking utensils and not food.
Although he still suspected that he had heard wrongly, a trace of extravagant hope in his heart prompted Zheng Miao to ask tremblingly: "Shangguan Yan said that only cooking utensils are needed?!"
Su Jiao also thought that Zheng Miao He was deaf, so he simply put his mouth next to Zheng Miao's ear and shouted loudly: "I am here to rescue the elders on the order of Lord Chang'an!"
"We don't need food, we only need cooking utensils." , make food for you elders! ”
A general who often uses his voice to give orders to his subordinates in the army, how loud can his voice be?
Su Jiao’s shout hit Zheng Ming’s eardrums like a heavy hammer.
But all the schemes in Zheng Heng's belly melted like ice and snow with the severe pain in his eardrums.
“Um, did you hear that right?”
“He is really here to save us?!”
Feeling the heat coming from Su Jiao's palm, Zheng Miao looked down at the baskets of food and murmured: "This time the earth dragon turned over, all the mountain roads around Dongxiaoli were cut off!"
"Old man I also asked people to check the way out of the mountain, hoping to lead my elders to Zheng County to seek relief, but none of them returned."
"I thought that everyone in Dongxiaoli would be affected by that. The collapsed rocks trapped me here until I ran out of food and starved to death, or even something unspeakable happened!"
"I never thought, never thought, I really never thought that the imperial court would send someone to rescue me! Wait! "
Zheng Ji lived for sixty-five years and served as king of Qin many times.
He thought he had seen Da Qin extremely thoroughly and had seen countless aspects of the world.
But he didn’t say he had seen such a world, he didn’t even dare to think about it!
Su Jiao shouted sincerely: "The imperial court is still arguing about how to provide relief to you, but Lord Chang'an has said that he will never give up on any Qin people!"
" Lord Chang'an has money, food, and an old army, and I am also Lord Chang'an's disciple."
"Please believe in Lord Chang'an, trust us, and trust the court."
"We will try our best to save more elders!"
Su Jiao's sincere words and the actual action of throwing the food on the ground finally made Zheng Ming put down his guard.
Holding Su Jiao's hands with his backhand, Zheng Miao looked at Su Jiao with eyes full of love and gratitude: "I know how difficult the road to get here is!"
"Baby Children! Children! You are suffering!"
A group of locals who are most familiar with the surrounding terrain have not been able to overcome the difficulties and obstacles that block Dongxiaoli.
Su Jiao, a foreigner, broke into Dongxiaoli with food.
Zheng Ming didn’t even know what hardships Su Jiao and others had endured along the way!
Su Jiao smiled and didn't say much. He just shouted a little gentler: "Please Zheng Lizheng quickly find the cooking utensils."
"It's getting late now, Zheng Lizheng just just said He also said that the elders have not eaten for a day. "
"Let the elders have a full meal first!"
This sentence completely broke through Zheng Miao's tears.
The tears contained Zheng Miao's excitement.
As long as you have enough to eat, all difficulties will no longer be difficult!
The tears also contain Zheng Miao's guilt.
Although most of Dongxiaoli’s food reserves have been submerged in the ruins, it’s not like they can’t hold on for even a few days.
When Su Jiao's subordinates shouted loudly, Zheng Ming had just organized the elders to have a meal, and then hurriedly extinguished the cooking fire and hid the cooking utensils and food due to the shouts of Su Jiao's subordinates.
Su Jiao and others came over the mountains and ridges despite the hardships and dangers, but Zheng Miao was not only wary of Su Jiao, but also deceived him.
He deserves to die!
Turn around, Mr. Zheng Chang shouted with tears in his eyes: "Fathers!"
"Mr. Chang'an has sent someone to save us!"
"It's Mr. Chang'an who sent people to help us fertilize us with golden juice! It's Mr. Chang'an who helped us study the Chang'an plow!"
"Go find the earthen pots and start cooking!!!"
东The Guizhou leaders in Xiaoli were still hesitant. After all, they wanted to use their lives to test the kindness of Su Jiao and others.
But Chang'an Jun's name and Zheng Miao's words also gave them some basis for trust.
More than forty young women walked out of the crowd holding earthen jars and carefully placed the earthen jars in front of Su Jiao. The leading woman accompanied them and whispered carefully: "The rest are all broken, only this one More than forty earthen jars are still useful." Looking at the earthen jars with some corn soup still hanging on them, Su Jiao finally understood that the current situation in Dongxiaoli was not as severe as Zheng Miao said.
Su Jiao couldn't help but smile: "That's very kind!"
"Lao Zhengli is organizing people to make rice according to the number of people. Now the weather is cold, Chang'an Jun specially ordered us to bring two baskets of ginger. . ”
“When making rice, please ask Zheng Lizheng to chop the ginger into powder and put it into the earthen pot, which can help the elders to protect themselves from the cold wind. ”
Zheng. Hearing this, Jing nodded repeatedly, but in the end he said repeatedly: "Dong Xiaoli would like to thank Mr. Chang'an for thinking so thoughtfully for us."
"Of course, food matters should be handled by the Shangguan himself!"
"In this way, we can avoid disaster!"
Su Jiao did not respond, but asked: "Dong There aren’t many strong men left in Xiaoli, right?”
The hearts of all the women suddenly tightened, and Zheng Miao’s face turned bitter. The tears that had just stopped burst out again: “It’s the official’s decision that was wrong. "
"After the earth dragon turned over, there were 663 people in Dongxiaoli who survived, including more than 200 strong men."
"The old man ordered hundreds of strong men to carry food on their backs to explore the way out of the mountains, but they have not returned yet!"
"The old man ordered the remaining strong men to rescue the trapped father and old man, but... the earth dragon turned over again, they, they... ”
Zheng Miao’s tears could not be controlled at all.
Because these young men are not only the people under Zheng Gao's rule, but also Zheng Gao's sons, grandsons, cousins, and nephews. They are the Dingkou of Zheng Gao's nine tribes!
The disappearance of these young men without a trace not only means that Dong Xiaoli suffered heavy casualties, but also means that Dong Xiaoli no longer has enough labor to save himself. It also means that Dong Xiaoli will have to wait for the next generation of children to grow up. Before, it would be difficult to farm and harvest, and you might die of hunger at any time!
Su Jiao didn't know what to say, so he could only press Zheng Miao's shoulder with his right hand like Ying Chengyu often did, and said in a strong voice: "Don't be afraid, I'm waiting for you!"
Turning around, Su Jiao shouted loudly: "I know that you have been working day and night without sleep, and it is extremely difficult to travel long distances with me."
"Of course! The elders in Dongxiaoli are buried now. In front of you and me, how can we sit idly by?"
"Pass on my order!"
"If you are still strong, follow me to save people!"
< br>
Then Su Jiao bowed his hands in front of Zheng Miao and said, "I'll have to worry about Zheng Lizheng in pacifying the people and putting an end to the chaos!" He shouted and asked: "Everyone who is still alive should shout!"
Hearing a faint noise, Su Jiao ran towards a collapsed house, stabbing the rammed earth with the iron shovel in his hand, and smashed a large piece of rammed earth. Dig the soil to the side.
Although Zhou Qingchen looked down on the head of Guizhou, and was not willing to work hard for the head of Guizhou, he knew more about Su Jiao's status in the court!
Sighing softly, Zhou Qingchen also raised his iron shovel and shouted loudly: "Help!"
The breeze picks up.
The red general's flag fluttered in the wind, looking even redder under the light of many torches.
The two words "Chang'an" dancing on the flag are deeply engraved in the hearts of all Dongxiaoli Guizhou leaders.
To the people of Qin, the former ‘Chang’an’ was just an ordinary place name, no different from Houfang.
For the people of Qin, the later term "Chang'an" became synonymous with victorious battles and promotion of official positions.
Today's "Chang'an" has an additional meaning to the people of Qin, and one meaning that should originally belong to the word "Chang'an" - long-lasting peace and stability!
At the same time, the red flag took on a different color in the hearts of all the Guizhou leaders in Dongxiaoli!
Zheng Miao slapped his thighs with both hands, forcing out all the oxygen in his lungs and shouting in a hissing voice: "You are still standing still!"
"The soldiers sent by Lord Chang'an are rescuing us. It’s you and my family! You and my parents!”
“Are we going to let the superiors fight alone?”
"Help!"
"Go and help!"
Instructing the more than 40 women who brought the earthen pots to make rice on the spot, Zheng Ji ran to Su Jiao with his back bent. , and Su Jiao lifted a wooden beam from left to right.
The surviving women, old women, father-in-laws and half-grown children also followed Su Jiao's troops, doing what they could.
The vigilance and worry a quarter of an hour ago disappeared.
Instead, there is unity like water and milk!
A girl who was no more than five years old saw everyone else busy, but she didn’t know what to do.
After hesitating for a long time, the girl climbed over the rocks and walked to Zhou Qingchen's side. She carefully took out a cooked egg from her arms and handed it to Zhou Qingchen with both hands. She said in a sweet voice: "Uncle, eat the chicken!"< br>
Zhou Qingchen, who was fishing and posing while thinking about how to get closer to Su Jiao, was slightly startled. He leaned over and met the girl's reluctant but serious gaze.
Zhou Qingchen, who had been ordered to collect taxes many times, collected a lot of grain and grass from the Guizhou leaders.
But this was the first time that a Guizhou leader took the initiative to hand over their grain to Zhou Qingchen without Wang Ling - and it was also a precious egg!
Zhou Qingchen was at a loss for a moment, so he waved his hand: "I am rescuing people, don't cause trouble!"
The girl's arms shrank, and then she raised them high. Said seriously: "Uncle is saving my mother, I am a righteous man and a good person!"
"My uncle must be very tired, but he will not be tired after eating chicken!"
The sincere children's words made Zhou Qingchen, who was accustomed to flattery against his conscience, feel a little dazed.
How can a person like me still be qualified to be called a righteous man?
What a huge irony!
Zhou Qingchen waved his hands a little more irritably: "As the minister of the Great Qin Dynasty, I have never eaten anything delicious."
"It's just chicken, you can eat it yourself, Don't delay my rescue!"
The girl took two steps back in fear, but Zhou Qingchen asked again: "Where is Naiwen when the earth dragon turns over?"
The girl hurriedly pointed to the ruins and said: "After E Aweng sent E out of the house, he went to rescue E Amu."
"E Aweng and Amu are both there!"
Look Looking at the completely collapsed ruins, Zhou Qingchen's heart sank.
He didn’t know why, but he picked up the shovel and walked towards the ruins. He used all his strength to pry open a piece of rammed earth, and still said: "That kid, shout!"
"Let your parents hold on, don't die!"
