Chapter 314

After Zhao Yun occupied the Meiwu, in addition to sending a detective outside the city to inquire about Li Jue's whereabouts, he also posted a list article in the city and offered a reward to capture Hu Zhen.

Shortly after the Jizhou army left the city, Hu Zhen learned from his subordinates that the Jizhou army entered the city from the south of the city. He knew in his heart that Wu Xi had indeed colluded with Jizhou in private. It seemed that his guess about him was still correct. But now that things have come to this point, even if his analysis is correct, what is the point, it is important to escape.

However, he was not lucky, and the direction he chose to escape was not the north gate where Li Jue escaped, but the east gate. At the gate of the city, Hu Zhen fought with the Jizhou army that rushed in. Seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately left his subordinates and fled back to the city, and found an unmanned courtyard to hide.

The courtyard has been abandoned for a long time. Apart from the well in the courtyard, it can't find anything to eat. Hu Zhen was hungry for two days and couldn't stand it, so he had to take the risk of finding something to eat.

When he went out, he saw that the situation outside was different from before. The shops on both sides of the street were closed, and patrol soldiers were everywhere on the street. The people helped the elderly and young people to walk towards the south of the city. Hu Zhen didn't know why the people gave up their homes, so he grabbed an old man and asked politely: I dare to ask this boss, I wonder where you are going?

We went to Yecheng. The old man said in a serene manner: General Zhao promised us that as long as we arrived in Yecheng, every household would be able to seal the land.

Regarding the old man's behavior, Hu Zhen asked in confusion: There are many barren fields outside the city of Meiwu. You can cultivate here, so why do you have to travel thousands of miles to Yecheng?

The old man looked at Hu Zhen, who was extremely haggard because of lack of sleep, and said to him: It was heard that the soldiers who were passing the message said that the Jizhou army was about to abandon the city, and even if someone stayed, it would be difficult to survive. Instead of staying here and waiting for death, it would be better to go to Yecheng to take a look. I heard that there was enough food there and the price was cheap, so people would definitely not starve to death. I said, "You guy, you should go to Yecheng with us."

The old man was talking when a sir came over and said politely to the old man: Mr. Daddy, there are dozens of miles to go today. You should get on the road early.

OK, I'll leave now. The old man walked forward two steps, stopped and said to Hu Zhen: This guy, the old man advises you, this place has become a Jedi, so it's better to leave as soon as possible.

Please stay. Hu Zhen, who was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, saw that the old man was about to leave, quickly stopped him and asked with a blushing face: Can you give me some food? I haven’t eaten for two or three days.

Although the old man brought a lot of dry food, considering that the journey was long, he didn't know whether this dry food could be supported to Yecheng, so he did not take the initiative to provide dry food for Hu Zhen. Instead, he said to him: This guy, there is a porridge shed in the west of the city, where porridge is served every day, so you might as well go there to find something to eat. Hu Zhen heard that there was a porridge field in the west of the city, so he thanked the old man and panicked towards the west of the city.

When he arrived in the west of the city, Hu Zhen saw several smoke-prone porridge sheds, with a long queue of porridge being collected outside the porridge shed. He found the shortest team, lined up at the end, and slowly moved forward with the people in front.

After about a stick of incense, he finally arrived at the porridge shed. The soldier holding a large spoon in his hand saw Hu Zhen empty-handed and asked in wonder: You have nothing, why do you use to serve porridge?

Hu Zhen stared at a large thick porcelain bowl on the stove, pointed his hand and asked humbly: Can this military master give me that bowl?

No, the soldier refused Hu Zhen's request without hesitation: Those who come here to get the porridge are all brought their own utensils to serve the porridge. Since you don't have a bowl, just stand aside and don't affect my serving of the porridge. After that, he used a large spoon to pull Hu Zhen to the side and shouted loudly, "Next!"

Hu Zhen was used to being arrogant and domineering in Jiwu, so he had never been so angry. He snatched the big spoon from the soldier's hand and kicked him to the ground. He put the big spoon into the pot, stirred it vigorously for a few times, picked up a thick spoon of thick porridge, and poured it into a large thick porcelain bowl on the stove. Then he threw the spoon into the pot, and walked aside with the bowl himself, but the hot porridge in the bowl burned his mouth and poured it into his mouth.

The soldier who was kicked down was not willing to give up and shouted loudly: Come on, come on quickly, there are people here to make trouble!

With the shouts, several soldiers holding weapons rushed over from the side. After rushing over, they asked loudly: Where is the troublemaker?

The soldier who was giving the porridge pointed at Hu Zhen who was squatting beside him and said loudly: It's him! Take him down quickly.

But when the soldiers rushed towards Hu Zhen with weapons in hand, Hu Zhen had already drunk all the porridge in the bowl. He put the bowl on the ground, rushed up and started fighting with the soldiers.

Killing, killing! The people who were queuing up to receive the porridge, when they saw this fight, they immediately shouted and ran away in scattered ways. The scene in the porridge field fell into chaos.

Although Hu Zhen was a powerful general, he had been hungry for a few days and was already exhausted. Although he had just drunk a bowl of porridge, it was not enough for him to stuff his teeth. Therefore, after he knocked down four or five soldiers, he became exhausted. He accidentally tripped by the lumps of soil on the ground and almost fell down. A soldier took the opportunity to put the knife on his neck. Hu Zhen saw that the knife was placed on his neck and knew that it was meaningless to hit him again, so he obediently stopped resisting and allowed the soldiers to tie him tightly.

After tied up Hu Zhen, a soldier accidentally saw Hu Zhen's boots and couldn't help but exclaim: Look, these boots are not worn by ordinary people. I think he must be a big shot.

When they heard that they had caught a big man, the soldiers immediately smiled and escorted Hu Zhen to meet Zhao Yun.

At this moment, Zhao Yun and Guo Jia were standing on the city gate tower, watching the crowds of people leaving the Meiwu and heading towards Chang'an under the protection of the troops. Zhao Yun sighed softly and said: Mr. Fengxiao, do we need a torch to burn it when we give up Meiwu?

No, no! Hearing Zhao Yun say this, Guo Jia quickly persuaded: Although we have given up on the Muwu now, we will come back sooner or later. If a fire is burned, we will have to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to rebuild when we come back.

However, Zhao Yun was still a little unwilling to accept it: But, if once we leave and Li Jue and others make a comeback, what should we do if we reoccupy the Meiwu?

If they want to occupy it, let them go. Guo Jia said lightly: There are no people in the city, and there is no way to raise the food and soldiers they need, so they have to give up here in the end.
