    With clever disguise and superb acting skills, Xiao Yi led the team all the way south, successfully passed several checkpoints in Zitong, Mianyang, and Deyang, and arrived near Chengdu!

    There were still a few days before the wedding. Xiao Yi was not in a hurry to enter Chengdu. Instead, he wandered around to observe the customs and customs of Bashu. Qingcheng Mountain, Huanglong River, Dujiangyan, Yuzui Water Diverging Embankment all left the footprints of the small caravan.

    After a few days of sightseeing, Xiao Yi had many emotions: First, he admired the land of Bashu, which has fertile land, crisscrossing channels, developed agriculture, rich products, and dangerous mountains and rivers around it. It has unique geographical advantages. No wonder Liu Bang used this as his foundation.  The great cause of the emperor has been achieved!

    Second, the poor people of Bashu are suffering from natural and man-made disasters, their homes are destroyed, and their homes are empty. Refugees from all directions are gathering in Chengdu, with as many as three to four hundred thousand people!

    This is not surprising. Whenever people are in trouble, they are accustomed to fleeing to big cities, thinking that there are many dignitaries there and it is easier to get food. If that doesn't work, they can sell their children or themselves, which is better than  Is it better to starve to death in the wilderness?

    "The idea is right, but the timing is wrong. If it were the past, with the prosperity of Chengdu and the abundant treasury, as long as the government makes proper arrangements, it would not be a problem to accept hundreds of thousands of refugees!

    But after a fire, most of Chengdu was reduced to ruins. Many people who lived in affluent life became refugees with nothing. They had no food or water, so how could they help others?

    As a result, more and more refugees gathered and the situation became increasingly chaotic. Although Liu Bei and Pang Tong frequently ordered local governments to organize self-rescue, and set up dozens of porridge restaurants near Chengdu, as well as many tents and shacks, it was a pity that  It's a drop in the bucket and it won't help!

    The situation was chaotic, people were evil-minded, theft, robbery, fraudhuman trafficking, bullying of women, various incidents occurred, and small-scale riots also occurred, which were quickly suppressed by Liu Beijun's iron fist, and did not want to sit back and wait for death.  People are choosing a new way to survive - fleeing north!

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    "Master Qi, we found a ruined temple ahead!"

    "Very good, stay in here tonight and send someone to light a fire, boil water, and cook food as soon as possible!"

    "No!"

    It is said that the team led by Xiao Yi has been wandering around Chengdu for a few days. For safety reasons, they always avoid cities and checkpoints, and do not stay in inns. Instead, they choose to camp in the wild, so that they can respond promptly when encountering emergencies.  Run away and avoid being surrounded by enemies.

    Xiao Yi still acts as a coachman and acts very low-key. All action orders are conveyed through Deng Ai, Sun Shao, and Jiang Wei's apprentices to avoid exposing his identity. When walking in a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, caution is the way to go!

    The temple is at the foot of a hillside. It is in a state of dilapidation. The gate has collapsed, the stone statues are broken, and things are scattered everywhere. There is not a single figure inside, but there are more than a dozen withered bones. There are still marks of swords and axes on the beams and pillars. I don't think so.  Being destroyed at the hands of rebels is a good thing done by bandits!

    Although Liu Bei's army occupied Chengdu, it failed to establish effective rule. The place was in chaos. There were countless rebels and thieves, constantly robbing property, food, women, and even bloodbathed entire villages!

    In order to survive the cold winter, the refugees who lost their homes became new thieves and continued to rob other villages. The result was like a snowball, with more and more thieves and the situation becoming more and more chaotic.

    The interior of the temple is large, and it can accommodate hundreds of people without any problem. The house is also complete. Although it is a bit messy, it is still no problem to shelter from the wind and cold.

    A group of people entered the temple, cleaned out the main hall and side halls, buried the dead bones in a selected location, cut down a few dead trees, made fire, made soup, and cooked rice. Unexpectedly, as soon as the meal was prepared, an uninvited guest came -  A group of refugees on the run!

    "Who is it, stop, don't come near!"

    "Come on, gentlemen. We have come a long way. It's already dark. We can't reach the village or store. It's so cold. You want us to stay overnight. Just stay in the yard. No.  I¡¯m causing trouble for you all!¡±

    ¡­¡­

    "Don't stop them, just let them in!"

    "No!"

    There were more than a hundred refugees, including men, women, old and young. They were all dressed in rags and had food on their faces. The adults were carrying gifts, bedding, pots and pans, and shriveled grain bags. The children were following closely, walking in the cold.  They were shivering in the cold wind, and some of them looked sick.

    For safety reasons, the guards wanted to drive away the refugees, but Xiao Yi secretly stopped them and allowed them to enter the temple and stay overnight in the side hall!

    "Follow my shopkeeper", the princes are fighting for hegemony, and what they are fighting for is rights, cities, and land But in the final analysis, what they are fighting for is population, and talents are the foundation of a country!

    With people, we can reclaim land, plant crops, and pay taxes to the government!

    With people, we can mobilize the best and train them rigorously to form a victorious army!

    And a country with a sparse population is bound to have desolate land, empty treasury, and unprepared soldiers. It will be destroyed sooner or later!

    Xiao Yi has calculated that Bashu has a population of more than 1.2 million. If 30% of the population can be hollowed out, Liu Bei will not be able to recover within ten years!

    If 50% of the army is hollowed out, the Liu Bei Group may not be able to carry out the Northern Expedition within twenty years!

    If more than 70% of them are poached, the future Shu Kingdom will not be born!

    "Haha, big-eared thief, ugly monster, this time I will make you want to cry without tears, and make you want to die!"

    ¡­¡­

    "Master, Jin Diao sent a letter home, written by the master's wife!"

    "Oh, there's a letter from Jie'er, bring it to me!"

    Just when Xiao Yi was beaming and proud of his plan, Deng Ai ran over with a golden eagle on his shoulder and a letter in his hand!

    Since Xiao Yi's expedition, Cao Jie often sent letters, stating family affairs, caring and greetings, reminding people to escape the heat in summer, put on more clothes in winter, etc., as well as some whispers between husband and wife. This time, Cao Cao's family letter was specifically mentioned.  Condition!

    Said Cao Cao: He was seriously ill, his limbs were paralyzed, he could no longer walk on the ground, and it was difficult to chew food. He only relied on gruel and ginseng soup to prolong his life!

    But he is clear-headed, can still speak, and still handles military and national affairs!

    After reading the letter, Xiao Yi couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. As long as Cao Cao's mind can still think and his tongue can still speak, even if he can't move a finger, no one can take away his rights, and no one dares to threaten him.  If a treacherous hero rules the world, there will be no chaos in the court!

    "However, Cao Cao is seriously ill, and he is afraid that his time is really running out. Although they have some grudges against each other, they have been monarchs, ministers, son-in-law, and confidants for more than 20 years Should I go back and make the final journey?"

    If you go back, I'm afraid there will be great risks. If you don't go back, you will have lifelong regrets - difficult!  Disaster!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
