Lin Bei took the lead, and a thousand Lin Army cavalry slowly left the city.
Although he doesn't mind killing people, Lin Bei doesn't want to provoke these refugees if it's not necessary.
"General, give me someone who stutters..."
Someone among the refugees shouted.
The crowd swarmed up and gradually approached the city gate.
Lin Bei raised his sword and said coldly: "Back off, I am about to go to get food and grass for the disaster relief. Anyone who dares to stop him will be a spy from Beiliang. He will be killed without any fault!"
forage?
The commander of a thousand horses glanced at Lin Bei and wondered where the food and grass came from.
However, he immediately came back to his senses and realized that this was General Lin's strategy. If he didn't say this, he would really have to fight his way out.
"Disaster relief food?" Upon hearing these words, the victims who were getting closer suddenly stopped.
The Beiliang Army in the crowd saw this and said, "Don't believe him. Suzhou is full of people dying of hunger. He is clearly planning to run away and abandon this stall!"
"What?"
People's eyes are sharp, but their brains are short-circuited.
Just saying this, the victims who were so hungry that their brains were not functioning immediately began to hesitate again.
Lin Bei pointed at the crowd: "Beiliang spies are hiding among the victims. Folks and elders, please don't be deceived by him. We, the Yulin Army, have seven to eight thousand people. If we want to leave, we won't just leave these few."
"Quickly get out of the way. Someone is intercepting the relief supplies. If I arrive too late, all the victims in Suzhou will starve to death. Do you dare to take responsibility?"
"What are you afraid of? You're going to starve to death anyway..." someone encouraged.
"kill!"
Lin Bei locked his eyes on the man, skillfully took out the bow and arrow beside the saddle, and pierced the man's chest with one arrow.
"Killing people!"
"Officers and soldiers killed people, is there any royal law?"
"Folks, you're all going to die anyway, just fight them!"
In the crowd, people from Beiliang continued to confuse people, and the victims of the disaster who were already brainless came like pupae.
Because someone shouted: "We have no food to eat, and the horses of the officers and soldiers are still so strong. Are people cheaper than horses? Let's kill the horses and share the food!"
"General!" The captain was shocked and at a loss, "Are we really going to go on a killing spree?"
Lin Bei gritted his teeth: "If the young master is here, he will definitely have something to do, but I am just a warrior... I have no other choice, just go ahead and don't use weapons."
"Run!"
The war horse rushed towards the crowd.
Lin Bei couldn't bear it and shouted: "Attacking the army is like rebellion, and you will be punished for all the crimes. Don't be stupid if you get out of the way!"
But the hungry victims could not listen to his words.
In everyone's eyes, only the war horse sitting on the Yulin Army looked like a delicacy.
"Break!" Lin Bei gritted his teeth and took the lead, knocking a thin young man away.
The captain led his troops to attack. Although the military orders were overwhelming, they tried their best to avoid hitting too many people.
"Officers and soldiers kill civilians, how can there be any justice in heaven!?" someone shouted.
But seeing that the Yulin army was so rampant, the victims were not so stupid, and most of them dispersed because they couldn't do anything.
The only ones left standing blocking the mainland were a group of tall Beiliang people.
"Why don't they look like they're hungry?" Someone saw Mingtang.
"Are they really from Beiliang?"
Seeing that the Yulin Army really dared to risk the world's disapproval and wanted to support the south, the Beiliang people who blocked the way stopped pretending and pulled out the weapons hidden on their bodies one by one.
How can a weapon that can be concealed with one's body be compared with a cavalryman on horseback?
"Kill!" Seeing that these Beiliang people finally took the initiative to expose themselves, Lin Bei breathed a sigh of relief, finally having an explanation for these victims.
He was afraid that these people would hide among the victims and would continue to instigate them randomly to guide the people's hearts.
If that's the case, even if the young master is saved, the Yulin Army will not be able to escape the blame, because it will force mobs to break out. Those officials in the capital who want to whitewash the peace will definitely take the opportunity to interfere with Lin Beiben.
But now that the people of Beiliang have given up creating such a chaos and want to stop the Yulin army from rescuing Fang Jue, Lin Beili realizes that the young master is very important in Luo Yang's eyes.
Important enough that he must be killed.
"Then I need to support you even more!" Lin Bei led his team to rush over, picked up the two men with one shot, and used the horse's momentum to throw them away.
"Stop fighting, go south!" Lin Bei ordered.
The captain nodded and passed on the order: "Straight ahead!"
The deputy general on the city wall looked overjoyed when he saw the Beiliang people taking the initiative to expose themselves.
"Go to a Qianhu camp, go out and exterminate these Beiliang people, and take the opportunity to find them all!" the deputy general ordered.
Zhang Feng on the side waited for him to issue the order before saying:
"General Cheng, do you know that I am the patrol envoy of the Xuanjian Division, and I am just like an imperial envoy with Lord Cai Yan? Why did your Yulin Army detain us?"
Deputy General Cheng Jie said calmly: "Master Zhang, there is no need to worry. General Lin will only return in half a day. You can speak freely at that time. I am just taking orders and doing things."
"Come here, please keep an eye on Mr. Zhang and don't let him get hurt."
"yes!"
…
Approaching Suzhou, the city gate can already be seen.
"Young Master, someone is coming." A group of cavalry came with bloodshed, and was seen by Bai Qing from a distance.
Fang Jue had long seen that although the telescope was crude, it was enough to kill all warriors' eyesight in such a plain area.
"It's the Yulin Army." Before Bai Qing could see clearly, Fangjue put down his telescope and the incoming man could see clearly.
The two sides were running facing each other, and they were very close when talking. Bai Qing could see clearly:
"As expected, they were intercepted by someone. All of their weapons were bloody and their armor was in disarray."
The Yulin Army has armor, mostly leather armor. After all, it is an army from the capital of Gyeonggi Province, and the court's favor is quite generous.
No general would dare to be greedy for this money. After all, if a superior officer came to inspect it, he would immediately see the bright hall.
If you want to be greedy, you will end up eating empty wages and neglecting military exploits.
"Young Master!" Lin Bei started shouting from afar.
He was very surprised. He thought he would be blocked along the way and would not be able to rescue him in time.
Unexpectedly, the young master got out of trouble early and was heading towards Suzhou.
Soon, the two sides began to slow down and came into contact.
"The general's rescue has been late, how is the young master doing?" Lin Bei's eyes rolled around, as if he wanted to find a trace of injury on Fang Jue's body.
But Fang felt that his whole body was clean and tidy, with no injuries at all, and he could not see the arrow hole on his back.
"It's okay." Fang Jue was slightly stunned.
Bai Qing understood and asked coldly: "Since we were attacked, the Yulin army has only come slowly. Is General Lin sleeping?!"
Faced with such doubts, Lin Bei could only smile bitterly: "Mr. Bai didn't know something. Some disaster victims gathered at the south gate to prevent us from leaving the city. I also forced my way out."
Hearing this, Fang Jue frowned and said, "Have you killed the victims?"
"I didn't use weapons, I just rushed out, but there must have been people killed." Lin Bei was extremely helpless. He knew that he might face criminal responsibility, but if he did not rescue the young division, he would certainly be guilty of a greater crime.
"It's quite sane." Fang Jue nodded and didn't say anything about holding him accountable.
"Where is the Xuanjian Division in the direction of Suzhou?" Fang Jue asked, "There are so many spies outside the city, don't tell me that they haven't noticed anything!"
Lin Beidao said: "Sicheng, the Xuanjian Secretary in Suzhou, died in the city a long time ago. The soldiers of his subordinate divisions went to hide from the war and fled Suzhou long ago."
Bai Qing coughed. He was also from the Xuanjian Division now, and he felt embarrassed when he heard this kind of thing.
There are so many people from Beiliang hiding among the victims. Anyone with long eyes should have noticed it long ago.
But they were stunned and allowed to hide, and also hid a large amount of ordnance.
"It seems that it's time for the people outside Xuanjian Si's capital to sort things out." Fang Jue was very cold and angry.
This is not as simple as dereliction of duty, but dereliction of duty!
"Young Master, I took down the patrolling censor from Yushitai and the patrolling envoy from Xuanjian Division." Lin Bei said again.
"Why?" Bai Qing was confused.
This is an imperial envoy. If you dare to arrest him at will, are you afraid that your neck will be itchy and you will want to lose your head?
Fang Jue also asked why.
Lin Beidao: "Then Zhang Feng stopped me from rescuing the young master. I suspect that he was either bribed by Beiliang or had connections with big shots in the capital and wanted the young master to stay in the north."
"What?" Fang Jue's face changed slightly, and he understood something immediately.
I have blocked some people's way.
Such a young master will definitely be promoted in the future. For those aspiring high-ranking officials, it is best for them to die in the north.
Once he returns to Beijing, his contribution this time will become another piece of capital, and he will be unstoppable in the future.
"Has anything happened in Suzhou these days?" Fang Jue asked on the way back to the city.
Lin Bei rode his horse and followed Fang Jue, answering questions at any time.
"There is a grain merchant from Ganzhou who is very clever. In the past two days, he has transferred at least tens of thousands of stones of grain and has started selling it in the city."
"How much does he sell for a bucket?" Fang Jue asked.
"Two taels of silver a dou."
Fang Jue stopped and couldn't believe it: "How much?"
