Chapter 847 The Crazy Wei Ke
Under Liu Zhang's deployment, Hedong County, Wuguan, and Hanzhong all started orderly work.
The Hanzhong side acted extremely quickly. Under the dispatch of the prefect Yan Pu, the original Guanzhong people had already begun an orderly repatriation.
From Yangpingguan to Chencang, and then to Chang'an, the Yizhou Army is responsible for all the roads along the way.
Maximize the safety of people's lives.
Soldiers were in charge of vigilance, and the migration became orderly.
As for Wuguan, Cai Mao successfully fulfilled his promise.
When the agreed date came, Cai Mao showed up outside Wuguan Pass with five million stone grain and grass as promised.
Due to the huge amount of grain and grass, the remaining five million stones of grain and grass are still being transported to Wuguan day and night.
Cai Hao had actually led his army to arrive three days ago. According to him, he was so excited that he did not sleep for three days and three nights, waiting for Deng Zhi to bring his horses to Wuguan.
When Cai Mao, who was standing at the Wuguan Pass, saw the endless horses, he jumped up excitedly.
The color of salivation was undisguised, and the greedy saliva in his mouth kept swallowing.
Although these war horses were all eliminated by the Yizhou Army, they were even disliked for their poor quality.
But for Cai Mao, who has never seen any good horses, it is also regarded as a treasure!
For Liu Zhang, this may be just a superfluous war horse, but for Cai Mao, it is the reliance for crossing Jianghan and dominating Jingzhou.
Looking at the group of Xianbei war horses in front of him, Cai Mao did not hesitate.
With a wave of his hand, he immediately decided to start trading.
Both parties have been looking forward to it for a long time, and it hit it off completely.
Cai Mao first asked the Jingzhou army to give up Wuguan, and then the two sides handed over horses and food.
Under Deng Zhi's arrangement, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Xu Huang first took over the defense of Wuguan, and then immediately established a camp outside Wuguan for grain and grass.
Zhang Liao and Xu Huang personally led the Hanxing Camp and Wubu Camp to station day and night to ensure that everything was safe.
Due to the shortage of people in Guanzhong, the transfer of grain and grass has become a great difficulty.
Deng Zhi could only transport the grain and grass to Wuguan, wait for all the grain and grass to be delivered properly, and then escort them to Chang'an.
However, even if it is transported from outside Wuguan to inside Wuguan, the workload is still extremely terrifying!
Fortunately, everything is going very smoothly, Wuguan has been proceeding in an orderly manner.
Wei Ji, who returned to Hedong County, fully mobilized the energy of the Hedong Wei clan at the first time.
There are 19 counties in Hedong County, covering a very large area.
If you only talk about the amount of land, it is even comparable to two to three counties in the hinterland of the Central Plains.
Fortunately, due to terrain reasons, the distribution of counties is relatively concentrated.
The population is mainly concentrated in the vicinity of Anyi, the prefecture, along the Yellow River, and the three parts of Qishui and Fenshui that run through the entire Hedong County.
Wei Ji not only mobilized all the power of the Wei family in Hedong County, but also sent members of the Wei clan to the 18 counties of Hedong County except Anyi.
Under Wei's call, the population migration began in just a few days.
In particular, the counties near Anyi, Hedong Zhisuo, started to mobilize almost on the same day.
The counties near the Yellow River also moved very quickly. Under the mobilization of the county magistrates and the Wei family, they began to gather at the Yellow River ferry one after another.
Zuo Fengyi's various ferries have already been prepared, and as long as people arrive, they will be transferred uniformly.
Within a month, the entire south of Hedong County poured out its population like crazy. Countless people abandoned their homes and businesses and began to gather along the banks of the Yellow River.
Zuo Fengyi, all the ferries in Hongnong County are open, transferring people around the clock.
Wei Ke has only one purpose, to send as many people as possible to Chang'an before Liu Zhang visits Duke Qin.
However, behind the seemingly smooth progress, there are also problems that Wei Ke cannot solve.
Due to the large span between the north and the south of Hedong County, while the people in the south were being transferred, the people in the north had just been mobilized.
Although there are two rivers, Fenshui and Qishui, as convenient conditions, there are no large ships in Hedong County, and there is no Yizhou Navy.
These people can only use their own two legs to climb hundreds of miles to the ferry.
It is unavoidable that the people complain, and casualties are also unavoidable. The migrating people are full of resentment towards Liu Zhang.
Especially after entering November, the weather is extremely cold, and cases of freezing to death have occurred one after another.
Looking at the former villagers and elders, the people in Hedong have suffered so much, Wei Ji's heart feels like a knife is piercing his heart!
Many times he wanted to stop the migration of the northern people and wait until next spring before restarting.
However, when a piece of news came, Wei Ji immediately gave up this idea, and went north to supervise the migration in person.
The people all showed joy when they saw Wei Ji, and everyone knew that Wei Ji was famous for his virtues.
It's just that no one thought that Wei Ji only came here for one purpose.
Hurry up!
The journey that was supposed to be completed in three days, Wei Ji actually asked to finish it in one day!
Wei Ke seemed to have gone crazy and became inhuman!
He doesn't care about the life and death of the people, he only knows to urge!
In this way, the casualties of the migration went from being counted on the fingers to becoming heavy casualties all of a sudden.
For a while, Wei Ke's reputation was completely rotten!
All kinds of abuse were heard endlessly, and some even insulted him face to face.
Even the previous resentment towards Liu Zhang was transferred to Wei Ke.
Some people even said that in order to flatter Liu Zhang, Wei Ji did not hesitate to harm the fathers and folks in Hedong County.
Wei Ke just smiled helplessly at this, and didn't respond or express anything.
Neither angry nor exasperated.
Wei Ke only had one attitude, urging the people to quicken their pace.
Many times even the county soldiers in charge of the guards couldn't stand it anymore, and couldn't help scolding the people.
As long as Wei Ji saw it, he would stop it without exception.
This time, the county soldier who was reprimanded by Wei Ke finally couldn't help complaining to him.
"Master Wei, these people really have no conscience at all!"
"They don't even think about who protected them all these years!"
Jun Bing is a native of Hedong County, and he is well aware of Wei's contribution to Hedong County over the years.
Therefore, he didn't feel wronged because Wei Ke scolded him, but simply complained for Wei Ke.
Wei Ji shook his head lightly, knowing from his frown that he was not in the mood to care about such things at all.
"Forget it! Where are we now?"
The county soldier was embarrassed for a while, he couldn't count how many times Wei Ji asked him this question.
Rough estimate, at least hundreds of times!
"Master Wei, we have just passed the Baibo Valley, and Linfen is not far ahead."
"White Wave Valley..."
Wei Ji nodded slightly, his expression finally fluctuating.
If you go back ten years ago, this place would be impossible to come by, there are 100,000 Baibo troops occupying here.
"Command the people, move faster!"
"Master Wei, we are already moving very fast, and the common people may not be able to increase the speed anymore..."
Sometimes the county soldiers don't quite understand, why Wei Ke keeps urging, as if someone is chasing after him!
Wei Ji didn't say anything after hearing the words, and began to calculate the distance and time in his heart.
After a long time, Wei Ji let out a helpless sigh.
"Hey, I hope I can make it in time..."
