Even so, the Shen family would often give them some refined rice and flour to improve their lives.
Some people are extremely grateful to the Shen family and An Jingzhi.
Especially after they encountered many refugees and small groups of bandits, they were even more grateful that they met good people.
Otherwise they would become part of the refugee population.
"Everyone, take a break for half an hour and eat something before leaving." An Jingzhi said.
A group of people immediately sat on the ground. All their strength was drained away in an instant. They didn't even want to move a finger. After lying there for a while, they struggled to get up and cook.
Outside Jizhou City.
"Tou, that's a Lou on the city wall! Is it the Lou Sanma that the refugees mentioned? These are not imperial soldiers, but rebels!" Ke Hong said in horror.
"What? There are traitors in there?!" Bian Tianlei asked, "What should we do? Should we still go in?"
Chen Dan also participated in the meeting. He stood calmly and said nothing, trying not to influence his good son-in-law's decision.
"Let's go!" An Jingzhi said, "We are a group of people, old and young, and this is the nearest place to stay."
"Whether they are bandit troops or imperial troops, they are not good people anyway."
"Brothers, if you trust me, come with me. Although we are outnumbered and armed, it is not a good idea to stay outside the city. Sooner or later, we will be targeted."
"To get to our next destination, we have to cross the river. No one can predict what we might encounter along the way."
An Jingzhi gave his opinion, and Shen Dan immediately said, "Listen to my son-in-law, I agree."
If I don't go, where will my son-in-law's 50,000 troops come from?
…………
Jizhou.
"Boss! A group of people with food and supplies are coming to join us." A soldier wearing cloth armor hurried to the front hall of Juyi to report. The cloth armor did not fit him well and looked like it was taken from someone else.
"Oh? How much food and stuff did you bring?" Lou Sanma became interested.
"We have 40 dan of grain and more than 200 people."
"That's all? Okay, bring the person here for me to see."
Lou Sanma was not interested. Before conquering Ji Zhou, even a small amount of food was still meat. Forty stone of food was enough to feed thousands of soldiers for a day.
Jizhou City has been captured and there is no shortage of food.
In the previous life, the original owner also brought these people with him. Without the 40 stone of grain, he relied on his eloquence to become Lou Sanma's confidant.
This time he brought an extra 40 stone of grain, which Lou Sanma looked down upon, and the people under Lou Sanma also looked down upon it.
When An Jingzhi and his entourage were approaching Jizhou, Lou Sanma specially received him in order to set an example and prove that he was a righteous army and some people took the initiative to surrender to him.
"Who's talking here?" An Jingzhi brought Chen Dan and his three brothers to meet him.
An Jingzhi stepped forward and said, "General."
"Does your words work? I can't tell. What are you capable of?" Lou Sanma glanced at him. He had delicate skin and looked like a scholar.
An Jingzhi always had a smile on his face, and the arc of his smile was just right, making it easy for people to feel close to him.
"I know a few words. I've long heard that the general loves his people like his own children. He conquered such a vast territory from a peasant background. He is a rare benevolent and righteous leader. I'm here to seek refuge with him."
"Oh?" Lou Sanma asked, "Can you read?"
"Yes. I've heard it a few times in the corner of the school." The original owner did recognize a few words, but not many.
Lou Sanma was a little disappointed, as he thought he was a scholar, but what the other party said really pleased him.
"Alright, since you are sincere in surrendering to me, I will accept you as my subordinates."
"The group of people under you will become a team, and you will be given the position of team leader."
