There were refugees from other places nearby, who must have arrived a while ago. He said expressionlessly, "This place has been occupied by a man named Zhang Mazi, and it is no longer a place of the imperial court. We are not the first group to come here. Some people have already entered the city before. It seems that those people looted and killed many local residents in the city, causing panic among the people. Zhang Mazi was furious and did not allow us to enter the city."
Tu Yufan also knew that there were too many refugees here, estimated to be tens of thousands, and there were too many variables, so Licheng did not dare to let these people enter the city easily.
As a large city, Licheng is said to cover dozens of square kilometers. It occupies a strategic position, backed by mountains, and can only be passed through here. Otherwise, it would take hundreds of kilometers to go around it.
Someone asked anxiously, "What should we do? Are we going to go around again? There are only wild mountains and wilderness nearby."
"That can't be helped. If it was still under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, perhaps we could get some help. But now that it's the rebels, we don't know what will happen."
.......
Seeing everyone quarreling, a man stood up and said fiercely: "There are so many of us, and we are still afraid of being locked outside the city. Anyway, the world is in chaos, so we might as well rush in directly."
Tu Yufan thought to himself, a bunch of weaklings, unarmed, how could they possibly want to launch a temporary attack on the city.
After hearing this, many people were ready to take action. The people from Shuigou Village saw that Tu Yufan didn't say anything, so they didn't say anything either.
"let's go."
Tu Yufan took the people of Shuigou Village away and could only plan to take the road outside the city and pass through Licheng.
There is a large abandoned temple outside the city, which is a relic of the previous dynasty. After Tu Yufan led the people of Shuigou Village there, many refugees had already occupied the place.
These refugees looked at Tu Yufan and his companions with hostility. Tu Yufan killed a few of them and then occupied the most intact attic.
Huilian didn't dare to say a word now. Others said that her father-in-law had been farming for decades and was very efficient at work. No one told her that her father-in-law was also very skilled at killing people. If she had known this, she would never have dared to stab him.
Tu Yufan stayed here temporarily. He brought some wild animals and vegetables he had picked, started a fire, and roasted the wild boar meat he had picked earlier.
Late at night, Tu Yufan arranged several people to take turns to keep watch, and the only sound in the entire hall was the crackling sound of the burning fire.
A few hours later, there was another noise outside. Tu Yufan opened his eyes and looked through the window, seeing many people entering the temple.
These people walked a little unsteadily, probably because they were seriously injured.
Someone outside shouted, "Those people were reckless and wanted to rush in, but they were completely wiped out. Now there are corpses everywhere outside the gate of Licheng. It is estimated that there are thousands of people. The blood has dyed the ground red. Many people went to feel the corpses, hoping to find someone to eat."
Tu Yufan felt that those who were stirring up trouble were probably at a dead end. After a long journey, they were out of ammunition and food, and finally reached the city gate, but were refused entry. They still had to cross the mountains to go to other cities, and they didn't know how many dangers they would encounter on the way. They could only take risks, or perhaps they were still dreaming of becoming the king of Champa. After all, there were tens of thousands of refugees, and victory or defeat was not determined by the number of people alone.
The people in Shuigou Village also woke up and looked at each other. Fortunately, they didn't listen to that idiot and go to attack the city.
Tu Yufan said: "Don't think about it, go to sleep and conserve your energy, we will leave early."'
Since these refugees have been identified as a threat, they are not safe outside the city and will sooner or later be dealt with by those in power in the city.
Although Tu Yufan said so, how many people could sleep well? They used to live a life of working from sunrise to sunset in Shuigou Village, but in the blink of an eye, they became homeless refugees. If the late emperor were still alive, the court would definitely settle them down. Now that the country is at war, they don’t know where to go.
Tu Yufan was in no mood to comfort others, so he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
