Chapter 31: Rumors spread, refugees poured in! (Seeking votes)

Cangzhou, Wan County.

——Cangzhou originally belongs to the northwest of Daqian, and although Wan County is not the capital of Cangzhou, it is still the first important town in the northwest of Cangzhou.

Unlike small cities like Lian'an City, it is an important city in the northwest of Daqian.

There are a total of 10,000 defenders in Wan County, and both the towering city walls and the mountain-like city walls show the extraordinary nature of this city.

Although both are located in Cangzhou and Wan County also suffered from drought, it is much better than Lian'an City and there is still order in the city.

But outside the city, countless refugees were blocking the closed city gate, constantly praying for a glimmer of hope for life.

There are too many refugees. In order to maintain order in the city, it is impossible to let these refugees enter the city even if they are not enemies.

But today is different.

As another group of refugees came from outside the city, a rumor suddenly spread among the refugee group outside the city.

"Have you heard? I heard that a god appeared in Lian'an City. He not only led the refugees of Lian'an City to overthrow the rich man, but also overthrew the county magistrate!"

"?? God? Is it true or not?"

"How could it be false? I heard that after the immortal conquered the county government, life appeared in Lian'an City the next day, and grass had grown on the river. The immortal also said that I was sick of the inequality between the rich and the poor, and now I will make it equal for you!"

"I am sick of the inequality between the rich and the poor, and now I am trying to make it equal for you? Is it really so??"

"How could it be false? I'm already preparing to go to Lian'an City. If I continue like this, I'll definitely die."

"Indeed, if Lian'an City really has life, even if the immortal ignores us, we can still eat grass and survive."

"Go to Lian'an, go to Lian'an. The imperial court doesn't care about our lives. If we don't join the immortal in rebellion, what's the difference between that and waiting to die?"

"."

Voices of discussion continued to be heard outside the city.

As the rumor spread more and more, although not all refugees believed it, many refugees were attracted by the rumor and rushed to Lian'an City.

However, many people still chose to stay, and as an important town in Cangzhou, refugees from all over the place rushed to Wan County almost every day.

After hearing this rumor, many of them made different choices.

Some people went to Lian'an City to search for the legendary immortal.

Some people chose to stay in Wan County.

Some people chose to move forward, trying to escape from Cangzhou and go to other states to join their relatives or find a way to survive.

At the same time, this rumor was also spread further and further by these refugees.
The prefectural government office.

The official positions in Daqian were both complex and simple, with military and political positions differentiated and managed separately.

Taking an important town like Wan County as an example, it is naturally impossible for a small town like Lian'an City to be ruled by a small county magistrate.

The person in charge of internal affairs in Wan County was the prefect, who, according to Daqian's official rank, was a sixth-rank official and took orders from the governor of Cangzhou.

As for the 10,000 defenders in the city, they were directly dispatched by generals specially appointed by the imperial court, and they did not need to obey the orders of the prefect on weekdays.

To put it simply, Wan County is actually managed by two people.

At this time, Su Fuyin, who had just finished handling affairs, had just sat down to rest for a while, when General Xia, who was dressed in battle armor, suddenly walked in. "Lord Su, there seems to be a change outside the city."

Hearing this, Magistrate Su's expression changed instantly, and he quickly said, "The refugees are attacking us."

"No."

General Xia shook his head, sat down naturally, drank a sip of tea, and then said, "The refugees are gone."

"Oh?" Su Fuyin's eyes suddenly showed doubt.

Over the past few years of drought, there has been a constant influx of refugees outside the city, and there was even some chaos at the beginning. Fortunately, there were 10,000 defenders in the city, who were able to easily suppress the chaos.

It was also because of this that Wan County subsequently stopped allowing any refugees to enter the city.

But even so, there have been more and more refugees outside the city over the years. How could they suddenly leave?

“I heard rumors among the refugees that a deity appeared in Lian’an City. Not only did he rebel and kill the county magistrate, but life also appeared in Lian’an City.”

General Xia put down his teacup as he spoke, looked at Su Fuyin and asked, "What do you think of the truth of this matter?"

Hearing this, Su Fuyin was stunned for a moment, then he quickly stood up and started flipping through the rolls of documents on the large desk in front of him.

Then, he picked out a letter and read it before saying, "The magistrate of Lian'ancheng wrote to me ten days ago, saying that the grain and grass collected by the court were sufficient and that we had to send someone to get them."

At this point, Su Fuyin's expression changed slightly, and he quickly said: "In any case, we have to ask General Xia to send someone to Lian'an City to take a look..."

There are constant wars in the north of Daqian now, and with the national treasury empty, the imperial court has already issued a death order.

That is to collect grain!
Although Cangzhou is suffering from a severe disaster, it is still inevitable to be expropriated under this circumstance. Wan County, as an important town, is naturally included.

"General Xia, this is a time of trouble. You and I must not cause trouble at this time. Otherwise, even if the Lord forgives us, the court will not let us go."

Hearing this, General Xia nodded immediately, and said without taking it too seriously, "Since Lord Su said so, I will send someone to Lian'an City to take a look."

"Lord Su, don't worry. Even if there is chaos in Lian'an, I can easily quell it with my 10,000-strong army!"

Hearing this, Su Fuyin nodded directly, and then bowed slightly to General Xia: "Thank you, General."
At the same time, Lian An City.

In the past few days, Lin Zhongyun has been asking people to strengthen the defense of Lian'an City. He has sorted out all the weapons that can be considered weapons in the entire Lian'an City and distributed them to the refugees.

Now that he had killed the county magistrate, the rebellion could certainly be concealed, and he had also asked people to spread rumors.

How could the imperial court not know about this based on word of mouth from these refugees?

But as the saying goes, "blessings and misfortunes go hand in hand."

In just three short days, hundreds of refugees have already arrived in Lian'an City, and the number is increasing day by day!

These refugees who are still able to move around outside are actually much stronger than those who were forced to stay in Lian'an City before.

Lin Zhongyun naturally accepted all these people, even some old and weak refugees, Lin Zhongyun took them into Lian'an City.

Although he does not have abundant food and grass now, he has to do this!

Now that the rumors have spread, we can’t afford to make any mistakes!
It is precisely because of this that a steady stream of refugees are continuously coming to Lian'an City! .
Ps: I beg for recommendation votes and monthly votes! I beg you brothers to support me! !
