Chapter 857 Old Soldiers Never Die, They Will Return when Called! This One Person Is Worth a Thousand Words!
Qiu Liao's pupils suddenly condensed: "There are actually reinforcements?!"
But what followed was deep anger: "Doesn't the court know that in the chaotic situation, the harm brought to the victims by the soldiers is worse than the earthquake?!"
"Who persuaded the king to send troops to my Zheng County for reinforcement?"
"Don't you think that the suffering of the people in my Zheng County is still not enough!"
Since ancient times, the court did not send soldiers to directly participate in disaster relief but only to suppress rebellions after the disaster, not only because this would cost a lot of money and food, but also because the soldiers were difficult to control.
The army that went deep into the disaster area would definitely not bring help and hope to the victims.
But it would be pain and despair!
Almost everyone knew this.
So not only Qiu Liao's face was extremely ugly, all the victims who gathered outside Zheng County for refuge were terrified.
Whether it was those who wanted to make trouble just now or those who were willing to obey Qiu Liao's orders just now, they secretly protected their families, and their right hands had already grasped the sharp blade, ready to fight to the death!
Only Lifu was still standing on the grain cart, looking far away with expectation.
He had never seen the general flag in the distance, but the seal characters on the general flag made Lifu feel a sense of déjà vu.
Finally, Lifu saw the two familiar seal characters clearly and cheered excitedly: "It's Chang'an Jun!"
"Chang'an Jun is here to save us!"
Qiu Liao was stunned and hurriedly climbed up the stone, squinting his already cloudy eyes and looking at the army from afar.
He finally saw the flag floating in the front of the support army.
On the general flag with a black background, there were two red Qin seal characters embroidered -
Chang'an!!!
In the past, Ying Chengjiao always stood under the big flag when he went to war, and this flag was the first time it appeared in this world.
But Qiu Liao knew that no one in the world would dare to pretend to be Ying Chengjiao!
Qiu Liao, who had been extremely nervous since the earthquake, finally felt that he had found his backbone.
His eyes could no longer hold back the tears, Qiu Liao turned around and shouted to everyone: "It's Lord Chang'an!"
"Don't worry, it's Lord Chang'an!"
"Lord Chang'an has led his family soldiers to rescue us!"
"Everyone in Zheng County, follow me to welcome Lord Chang'an!"
Hearing Qiu Liao's call, the panic and fear in the eyes of the victims were replaced by astonishment.
Lord Chang'an? !
How could a noble person like Lord Chang'an take the risk to rescue us from the earth?
"Really? Mr. Sun, you can read, take a look at the flag to see if it is Lord Chang'an's flag!"
"It's Chang'an! Lord Chang'an is here! Elders, there's no need to hide anymore, come out and welcome Lord Chang'an!"
When the victims who could read read the seal characters on the flag, and when more and more victims confirmed the identity of the visitor, more victims cried out.
Chang'an plows, Chang'an carts, gold juice for manure treatment and many other craftsman-made products have long been spread in Guanzhong and have penetrated into the lives of every Guanzhong person.
They don't believe that any army can be ruthless to the victims, unless this army belongs to Chang'an Jun!
They believe that Chang'an Jun, who is willing to work hard for them to live a good life, will not take away the last food in their hands, but will only give them hope to survive!
All the victims rushed to Ying Chengjiao, crying with joy:
"We, welcome Chang'an Jun!"
The general flag slowly stopped, and under the general flag, Ying Chengjiao, wearing leather armor and a bronze helmet, walked up a small hill.
Keeping the posture of shouldering the iron shovel and carrying millet, Ying Chengjiao greeted every disaster victim with a gentle smile, and shouted loudly with a firm and powerful voice: "I led two thousand guards, a thousand family soldiers, hundreds of disciples, a hundred ministers and many righteous men to bring food and supplies."
"I have found a route to connect the inside and outside of Zheng County."
"Before sunrise tomorrow, three thousand strong men will cross this mountain road and carry more food and supplies."
"Natural disasters are ruthless, but people are kind!"
"I guarantee all the Qin people affected by the disaster in the name of Chang'an Jun of the Great Qin."
"This time, when the earth dragon turns over, there will be no Qin people who die of cold and hunger!"
With the repetition of a thousand family soldiers, Ying Chengjiao's call was heard clearly by all the disaster victims.
The road is unblocked. If things are not good for them, they can completely leave the earthquake range first along the road opened by Ying Chengjiao.
There was enough food to eat, so they no longer had to worry about starving to death, and they no longer had to risk their lives to fight with the government for food.
Most of the soldiers who came to help were the direct forces of Ying Zheng or Ying Chengjiao. They had status, wealth, and were personally watched by Ying Chengjiao, so they would definitely not commit the evil act of robbing the victims.
The problem that the victims were most worried about was solved by Ying Chengjiao's words, and an indescribable and unprecedented sense of security surged into everyone's heart!
No one took the lead, no one organized, more than 10,000 victims knelt down in front of Ying Chengjiao, and shouted sincerely: "Thank you, Lord Chang'an!"
Ying Chengjiao stood on the slope and calmly accepted the gift from all the victims.
Putting the iron hoe and grain on his shoulders on the ground, Ying Chengjiao asked in a deep voice: "Is there anyone who has served under me?"
Lifu was the first to rush out of the crowd and shouted loudly: "The five hundred commanders under the command of the commander Su Jiao, Lifu, the prison official of Zheng County."
"Greetings, commander!"
Ying Chengjiao's brain worked rapidly until Lifu stood in front of Ying Chengjiao, and Ying Chengjiao smiled and nodded: "Is he the son of Ernao?"
Lifu looked up at Ying Chengjiao in disbelief, and saw Ying Chengjiao's gentle eyes.
Although Lifu had been with Ying Chengjiao on three expeditions, he never expected that the name of an unknown person like him would be heard by Ying Chengjiao, and even remembered by Ying Chengjiao!
Lifu's eyes were red as he bowed: "My father is Ernao!"
Ying Chengjiao praised generously: "I still remember the scene of Ernao charging into battle and dying in the Battle of Nanyang."
"Your father's name is Ernao, but in my opinion, both you and your son are real men!"
Lifu cried like a child and couldn't say anything else.
Hearing Lifu being praised by Ying Chengjiao, other victims who had served under Ying Chengjiao could no longer stand and lined up in front of Ying Chengjiao.
"I am Chaofu, a talented officer under the command of Captain Mengwu, and I pay my respects to the commander!"
"I am the vanguard under the command of E'ao, the boss of Yunmengze, and I pay my respects to the commander!"
"Captain..."
When every veteran came out, Ying Chengjiao would smile encouragingly.
If he happened to remember this person, Ying Chengjiao would praise him according to his characteristics.
If he really couldn't remember this person, Ying Chengjiao would praise him for his bravery.
In such a scene, even if everyone knew why Ying Chengjiao summoned them, they still couldn't resist the call from Ying Chengjiao!
Until 451 veterans lined up in front of Ying Chengjiao, Ying Chengjiao finally showed a satisfied smile: "You two or three still remember me and are willing to fight for me, I am very pleased!"
"You two or three know that Zheng County is not my fiefdom, nor is it my old place."
"This time I personally went to the place where the earth dragon turned over not only to rescue the people of Zheng County, but to rescue all the people affected by the disaster!"
"But with the strength of the soldiers led by me, it is really difficult to complete the task."
"Everyone, are you willing to die for me again?!"
All the veterans bowed their hands without hesitation and shouted: "I am willing to fight to the death for the commander!"
Ying Chengjiao nodded happily: "Good!"
Then Ying Chengjiao shouted solemnly: "Pass my order!"
"All the places affected by the disaster shall temporarily follow the laws of the army and obey my orders."
"Anyone who is six feet tall Those who are over five inches tall, under sixty, and not pregnant, regardless of gender, will all be subject to corvée labor!"
"All my comrades will be promoted to the next level according to their previous official positions and command all corvée labor."
"Two to five hundred are led by Lifu!"
Lifu choked and shouted: "I am here!"
Ying Chengjiao said solemnly: "I brought food and grass, but I did not bring cooking utensils."
"Now order Lifu's troops to find cooking utensils immediately, bury pots and cook on the spot, and ensure that all the victims are free from the worry of starvation!"
Lifu bowed loudly: "Yes!"
Without wasting time, Lifu turned around and shouted: "All the jailers and prisoners under the jurisdiction of Zheng County Prison will be incorporated into my troops."
"You, you, and the three rows on the side will also be incorporated into my troops, and your positions will be divided according to your titles!"
Among the people selected by Lifu, dozens of them were actually the ones who wanted to riot and rob food just now.
When they were chosen by Lifu, they subconsciously felt a little dissatisfied and wanted to shout loudly.
But when their eyes swept over Ying Chengjiao standing on the slope, and then looked at the food that was continuously transported by Ying Chengjiao's subordinates, they finally suppressed all their complaints and dissatisfaction, and followed Lifu obediently and honestly.
Ying Chengjiao's eyes turned to another veteran: "Five hundred masters Wang Zhong!"
"Order your troops to enter Zhengcheng along the north gate of Zheng County, shout loudly along the main road, and rescue immediately wherever someone responds!"
Wang Zhong also bowed solemnly: "Yes!"
"The elders of Qijiao Lane, follow me! Go back and save people!"
The people who are most familiar with the local area must be the locals.
As Ying Chengjiao continued to select the generals, the victims were organized into groups of ten and five on the spot under the organization of the local veterans, and they were busy with their duties.
Thousands of men and women poured into Zheng County from all directions, calling out constantly, and whenever they heard an echo, they would take tools to dig and rescue.
When Meng Yi, who was behind, put down the shoulder pole, he saw a scene of enthusiasm, mutual help, and true love.
Meng Yi couldn't help but smile: "Everyone says that the people of our Great Qin are tigers and wolves."
"After seeing it today, I think that the people of our Great Qin are all people with great love in their hearts."
"I think that even if we didn't come here through mountains and rivers, Zheng County will definitely be able to overcome the difficulties because of this mutual help!"
Meng Yi really wanted to pull those great scholars over to take a good look.
Just looking at the scene in front of him, it was enough to make more than a dozen pairs of great scholars cry blind!
Qiu Liao heard this and shook his head bitterly: "The reason why General Meng was able to see such a scene was not because of that thing's love."
"It was all because of Lord Chang'an!"
"Because Lord Chang'an came with food, the people knew that the internal and external traffic was not cut off and there was no worry of starving to death, so their anxiety and fear were reduced, and they no longer had the determination to fight to the death for their lives."
"Because of Lord Chang'an's reputation, the thieves did not dare to use weapons and were willing to obey orders."
"To be honest with you, before Lord Chang'an arrived, the people of Zheng County almost rioted and fought against the officers and soldiers of Zheng County!"
Ying Chengjiao's arrangement was not outstanding, and his seizure of people's power was far better than Qiu Liao's.
But Ying Chengjiao's reputation from the sea of blood and corpses and the food that Ying Chengjiao carried in person were better than a thousand words.
Chao Fu, Kuo Fu and other original destabilizing factors were immediately transformed into the sharpest knives for disaster relief due to the arrival of Ying Chengjiao!
Qiu Liao turned to Ying Chengjiao with gratitude and said, "Your subordinate, on behalf of the people of Zheng County, thank Lord Chang'an!"
However, Ying Chengjiao frowned slightly and waved his hand, "In the face of a great disaster, don't be so polite."
"Tell me immediately what the current situation in Zheng County is?!"
