    "Do you know their plan?" After listening to Jia Xiong's words, Yi Feng was not surprised that Yang Liang wanted to take action against him, but he was surprised that Yang Liang wanted to take action against the Black Mountain bandits.  Wei Daoer and other Black Mountain thieves had ambushed him once when he entered Beijing last time. They failed that time and were made quite embarrassed by Yi Feng.  Unexpectedly, it appeared again so soon.  "Again? I really don't know how to write death." Yi Feng sneered in his heart and shook his head secretly. Do these Black Mountain bandits have such little IQ?  At the beginning, he was also a leader among the younger generation in the Yanshan League like himself, but now he has fallen to this point, becoming someone else's tool, and he is still such a miserable tool.  I don¡¯t know where these guys got the courage. They dare to come this time. I have an army of tens of thousands. Do these Black Mountain bandits want to deal with me now?  ambush?  assassinate?  <~/> Jia Xiong looked smug and said excitedly: "We have almost completely grasped the opponent's plan. We have sent out the best agents and have successfully penetrated the Black Mountain bandits." "In that case, let's get there.  There is a monkey to play with." Yi Feng chuckled a few times.  Nowadays, he really doesn't take a few Montenegrin bandits seriously. They are not on the same level at all. The Montenegrin bandits are just clowns, monkeys barely worth playing with.  In the morning light, the war horses whistled in the wind, accompanied by the clang of weapons. Yi Feng led more than 10,000 men and horses to separate from Li Yuan and others, and he led his troops to continue heading north.  The army was marching on the road in northern Shanxi. Yi Feng saw a steady stream of troops going south, like a long dragon, rolling in from the north and heading south.  They were the people of Weiyunshuo Prefecture in the Xin Dynasty.  They all knew that the war was about to begin.  Staying on the frontier can only bear the disaster of war.  At this time, the only option was to go south, to Taiyuan or further south, to avoid the war and find a way to survive.  They drove horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts, carrying large and small boxes. Some even carried iron pots, some carried quilts, some carried chicken coops, and some drove sheep.  Others brought nothing with them and were stumbling with empty hands.  Women holding children and husbands carrying luggage walked together. From time to time, some people fell on the cold snow. The cries of hungry and cold children could be heard everywhere. Mothers were sobbing. Most of the pedestrians were full of people.  Numbness and heaviness of face.  Although Yang Jian and the ministers, including Yi Feng, all believe that this battlefield must be fought, and that the war must be won, this war must be fought.  He will definitely win.  But they have not seen with their own eyes the impact of war on the people at the bottom, even if this is a war that will not last long and will definitely be won in the end.  But for ordinary people, war is war, and war is the loss of their homes.  Leaving home is disaster and pain.  Yi Feng looked at these people.  I was very touched.  After thinking about it, he still dismounted.  Let the soldiers stop these people who have left their homes.  The people who were stopped looked panicked, a little overwhelmed, full of fear and uneasiness.  "Do you want to get a virgin?" someone asked the person next to him uneasily.  "It doesn't seem like that." Some people saw that the soldiers who were blocking people were all brightly armored, but they were not very fierce. They neither beat nor cursed. They just asked them to stay, and then kept telling them that the leader of the soldiers was the emperor.  His Royal Highness Taisun is the Marshal of the Eastern Northern Expedition and the Chief Superintendent of Youzhou Prefecture.  "Your Highness the Emperor Taisun? Why did His Highness the Emperor Taisun stop us?" "Where are you going? How are you heading north?" "You are so stupid. You didn't hear that the Emperor Taisun was on the Northern Expedition.  The marshal of the East Road is still the general manager of Youzhou Prefecture. He must be heading north to fight the Turks with his troops. " "Yes, yes, I heard that the crown prince is also the general manager of the Northern Expedition." "How did I hear about King Jin?  He is the Generalissimo of the Northern Expedition." All kinds of discussions came and went, and everyone used this kind of talk to alleviate some of the uneasiness in their hearts.  But soon, they found out why the emperor's grandson stopped them.  The Crown Prince sent people to set up dozens of tiger flags on the roadside. A large tent was set up under each tiger flag, and soldiers of the Crown Prince in red military robes were cooking inside.  Yes, it is cooking, full of fragrant oil and meat smell. Several large iron pots are placed in a row on the newly built stove. Black stones are burning in the stove. According to people who have experienced it, it is called charcoal.  It's also called coal over there.  The fire is lit, the pot is hot, the golden oil is poured down, and the aroma is immediately fragrant. Then boiling water is poured in, then dried kelp or seaweed, eggs and some dried small fish and shrimps are added to stew the soup in the large pot.  On the chopping board set up on the other side, red-robed soldiers began to knead dough, preparing to make steamed buns, buns, noodles, pimple soup, shaved noodles, etc.  "Oh my god, the emperor's grandson is so wise and kind, he actually used military rations to cook for us." Some people were shocked and unbelievable when they knew that these soldiers were cooking for them.  At this time, there was anotherSoldiers in robes were shouting back and forth, "Those who want to eat, line up first, line up one by one, everyone will have a share, and you don't need your money." "You really don't need money?" asked a hungry old man.  "The emperor's grandson is the crown prince of the country and the direct grandson of the emperor. You are all his subjects. How can he ask for your money? Everyone, please feel free to line up." Everyone began to line up in front of the pots under each banner.  After walking for half a day in the wind and snow, of course I wanted to eat hot rice and soup.  When everyone started queuing up, someone else came over and started talking about going to Youzhou Prefecture in Hebei Province.  "Those who are willing to go to Youzhou Prefecture, listen up. Anyone who is willing to go to Youzhou Prefecture will be escorted by officers and soldiers along the way. The officers and soldiers will be responsible for your food and cold-proof tents and clothing. After arriving in Youzhou, if you are willing to settle down here,  , we will allocate fields to you. Even if you don¡¯t want to settle in Youzhou, we can also arrange temporary work after you go there so that you can have work to do, wages to earn, a house to live in, and fire.  If you have clothes to keep out the cold, you can go back to your hometown if you want to when the war is over," the soldiers preached over and over again.  The conditions promoted by the soldiers were really good. When they went to Youzhou, they would take care of food and tent accommodation on the way, and they would be escorted by soldiers. When they arrived, those who were willing to settle down would be given land, and they would borrow money to build houses, etc. Those who were unwilling to settle down would also be given.  Being able to arrange work to make money, and being able to provide food, clothing, food and housing, it is unbelievable that such a good thing exists.  But the person who said this was the current emperor's grandson, which undoubtedly gave hope to many people who had originally evacuated to the south but didn't know how to survive there.  After all, not everyone has relatives in Taiyuan, and not everyone can find a job after arriving in the south.  With their families and families evacuating south, many people have no money to live with, and they don¡¯t know how they will survive next month.  "Do you think this is true?" "I don't think the emperor's grandson needs to lie to us. Look, he is not cooking for us, making soup for us, and lighting a fire for us to keep warm?" Is it possible to get it?  The benefits given by His Highness the Young Grand Sun made the refugee even directly use the word "old man" when addressing his Grand Sun, and he did not feel embarrassed at all.  "If it's true, then why did the emperor want us to go to Hebei? Wouldn't it be better to just place us in Taiyuan?" Some people still have doubts.  At this time, an older man who was still wearing a Confucian robe and was obviously a scholar said: "Didn't you hear just now that this emperor's grandson also serves as the marshal of the East Road and the general manager of Youzhou Prefecture. Youzhou is  It would be more convenient for the emperor's vassal to arrange people to go to Youzhou, and the important thing is that Youzhou is his vassal. Only with the population can everything be possible."  He is obviously more knowledgeable. Although he feels that although the population is precious, it is not so short of people.  But he still felt that the arrangement of the emperor's grandson was also a long-term consideration.  It can not only treat the refugees and win their hearts, but also bring these refugees to Youzhou's own territory, which will also strengthen the strength of Youzhou Prefecture.  Liu Wenjing, Li Mi and others stood there with Yi Feng, watching the refugees sign up to go to the wilderness, with smiles on their faces.  "These food tents and registration points must be preserved. For the refugees who come from the north, we must find a way to resettle them to Youzhou, as many as we want. Even if they are unwilling to settle down, they only plan to temporarily avoid the war.  , and they will be collected as well. In addition, some flags will be planted on other roads, some food tents will be set up, and registration points will be set up." Yi Feng looked at the increasing number of refugees in front of him, but he was very happy.  Now he is short of people, seriously short of people.  Those who were pregnant at the time, the strongest and young ones, were basically all recruited into the army by him.  And his army is a professional army, and there is no such thing as a soldier who is idle during wartime.  The remaining men have basically joined various workshops and mines, and even the young and strong women who are pregnant have basically joined the workshops to work and earn money, which is very different from the situation in the Central Plains.  But even so, Huaihuang still faces a serious manpower gap.  And now Yi Feng not only has Huaihuang, he also has Thirty-Two Prefectures of Youzhou.  In particular, he plans to push northward and expand into the land of Sanbo. To civilize this raw land, more people will be needed.  Now that the border war has begun, the people in my border area are allowed to go south to avoid the war. The local officials in the south are afraid when they see these people, for fear that something will happen.  But when Yi Feng saw these people, he thought they were all treasures.  "Your Highness is merciful." A group of Taisun Mansion bachelors and monks drew pictures to praise Yi Feng's kindness. They all thought that Yi Feng arranged the refugees just out of the superior's kindness to the people, but they did not expect that Yi Feng was of course compassionate.  He sympathized with the people, but he also did this because it was indeed extremely beneficial to Huaihuang and Youzhou Prefecture.  If it was just out of sympathy, Yi Feng would only need to donate a sum of money, and then ask Taiyuan to send people to resettle these refugees, build them a temporary resettlement camp, arrange tents, and provide them with food every day, so that they can survive until the end of the war.  It's enough, why do you need so much trouble?We are going to Youzhou.  Of course, Yi Feng did not explain too much to these bachelors. He could just let them do whatever they wanted and do their own thing.  He left some people to take charge of the matter, and left some troops for him, and then sent someone to call the people from the Taiyuan local government to explain. After that, Yi Feng led his troops to continue their journey north.  (To be continued)
