Chapter 702: Villagers reunited

Julu has fifteen counties and as many as 132 townships.

On the fourth day of the first lunar month, more than 100,000 troops in the army gathered outside the south city of Julu City. The hundreds of thousands gathered included not only the manpower and material resources of the garrisons, but also the craftsmen camp and the women and children camp that were not included in the garrisons. All of them

Manpower.

Because many of the craftsmen in the craft camp have relatives.

After everyone was gathered together, the order was conveyed to the entire army. The order had only one meaning, telling everyone to find their own relatives so that they could settle down when the time came to start farming.

Hundreds of thousands of people were excited when they heard that they could work in the fields with their family and relatives.

Li Mengxi made detailed overall arrangements for the reunion of the villagers. He found 132 soldiers from Zhuozhou. Each of these 132 people carried a pole.

A flag with the name of the town written on it.

The 132 people carrying the flags lined up one by one along the south-facing road. There was a long distance between the flags. After all, under each flag, people from the entire township gathered.

After that, veterans who also came from Zhuozhou began to lead groups of people to find their respective townships and counties.

The reason why all veterans from Zhuozhou are used is because only people from Zhuozhou have no relatives in Julu, nor are they natives of Julu, so there is no need to find relatives.

The "family search" begins.

A Zhuozhou veteran, leading a team of more than a hundred people, walked south along the avenue.

Ahead, on the roadside, a soldier stood on the roadside with his hands on his hips, holding a big flag.

The Zhuozhou veteran led his men forward and walked to the flag. He stared at it for a while with his eyes wide open. Then he asked, "Where is it written on your flag?"

I looked at it for a long time, but I can't read.

The soldier holding the flag was also illiterate, but when he got the flag, he was told what the characters were.

The soldier raised his head and glanced at the unfamiliar characters on the flag, pretending to be literate, and said to the old soldier from Zhuozhou, "This is Pingxiang."

The old soldier from Zhuozhou turned around and shouted to the hundreds of people behind him, "From Pingxiang? Is there anyone from Pingxiang? Is there anyone?"

I shouted once, but no one answered.

Seeing that there were no people from Pingxiang, the old soldier led the others and continued to move forward.

At this time, Li Mengxi, who was inspecting on the side, stopped the old soldier and said, "It's inappropriate for you to shout only once. There will be more teams coming later, and they will be so noisy that everyone who shouts will be heard."

No, you have to shout a few more times. It is best to pull people in front of you and ask them one by one."

The old pawn nodded in agreement.

Li Mengxi has discovered the first shortcoming.

He called the messenger and asked the messenger to explain the people behind him. The requirement was that each one must be confirmed so that nothing was missed.

Continuing forward, after passing a flag, the old soldier asked where the place was, and then asked the people behind him several times to see if anyone was there.

Seeing nothing, he led the people and continued forward.

Finally, after reaching the fourth flag, there is Xiguo Township.

The old soldier from Zhuozhou shouted back at the top of his voice, "Xiguo Township, are there any from Xiguo Township?"

I shouted twice and someone answered.

At this time, the flag-bearing soldier from Xiguo Township waved to the man, "Come, those from Xiguo Township, stand behind me."

The man left the team, stood up, and chatted enthusiastically with the flag-bearing soldier, "Isn't Ren from Xiguo? Which village is Ren?"

The flag-bearer paused and glanced at this guy, "I'm not from your place, we're from Zhuozhou."

The Xiguo people were embarrassed on the spot.

A team of 100 people, led by Zhuozhou veterans, kept moving forward. After passing through more than 100 villages, the people finally dispersed.

Li Mengxi doesn't have much of a problem, but there are hundreds of thousands of people in the army. One hundred and one hundred rounds will take several days to complete.

So, after that, Li Mengxi asked the messengers to return to the city to deliver the order, and asked fifty teams to come up at once.

Not long after, fifty old soldiers from Zhuozhou came in force with fifty teams of people.

There is no big difference in the process. It is still the same. Every time the old soldier leading the team walks to a flag, after seeing clearly which township the flag belongs to, he will ask the people in the team several times if there are any people from the township. If so, who is the township?

People will leave the team, and if there is no one, continue moving forward.

It is about whether they can find their relatives. If there is any mistake, they will miss it. Among the many teams, the peasants follow the Zhuozhou old soldiers closely, looking at the flags on the roadside with a little anxiety and expectation.

At the beginning, there were only a few people gathered under the flags everywhere, so it didn’t show much.

When half an hour passed, some people gathered under each flag. These people stood on the roadside, tiptoeing and stretching their necks to look at the road, eagerly looking forward to their relatives.

Li Mengxi was patrolling around on horseback. During this period, he saw that people from the same hometown gradually gathered. Many people were very happy when they found their relatives. After the war, even meeting acquaintances from the same hometown made them happy.

People were overjoyed.

Speaking of which, there are hundreds of thousands of refugees in the army. What are the refugees like? Some refugees are separated from their families while walking. Among the hundreds of thousands of people in the army, some people have been searching for months without meeting their families.

.

At this time, after being divided according to the villagers, they were very lucky. Some people thought that their families were in trouble, but in the team of villagers, they found their parents, wives and children who had been away for a long time. How many people were there, and they were a family

He held his head and cried bitterly.

Family members were reunited everywhere, and there was joy and excitement everywhere. Li Mengxi had never seen the refugees so active and enthusiastic as they are today.

It was as if, from this moment on, I could see the breath of life from the refugees.

But before this day, the military was more like a military than a home. After all, the military was missing some warmth.

How long does it take to find homes for hundreds of thousands of people?

The answer is, one day is not enough.

The search for relatives lasted from morning to afternoon, and then into the evening, and there were still many people who had not yet taken their turn.

However, it was getting dark and there was no way to continue searching. Likewise, it was inconvenient to return to camp before we could distinguish the people.

Due to helplessness, hundreds of thousands of people could only stay outside for one night, and the logistics of these hundreds of thousands of people was taken care of by the old man from Zhuozhou.

When they left Zhuozhou, the rebel army had no more than a thousand soldiers. Excluding those who died in battle, some of those Liu Bei took with him, and the scouts scattered outside, there were only over 500 veterans left in Zhuojun.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! These five hundred people are responsible for the logistics of hundreds of thousands of people. They have to boil water and cook rice all night, which is very tiring.

Although it is February and the temperature is not that low, it is still cold when staying outside at night.

Although it was freezing cold at night and countless people were shivering from the cold, people from the same hometown, the same clan, and the whole family finally gathered together throughout the night, and the lively chatter continued all night long.

On the second day, the "search for relatives" continued.

There were approximately 20,000 people left yesterday. These 10,000 people took turns to come forward and gradually found their respective villagers. In the end, there was still some left.

Once he found out, Li Mengxi was helpless. The remaining people only knew which village they were from, but not which township they were from.

Looking at this last group of confused, helpless and anxious people, Li Mengxi was speechless.

In the end, I had no choice but to search one by one according to the village name.

The specific method is to ask one of them, since I don’t know which township he is from, then do you know which village he is from?

The man replied, "It's called Lao Liucun."

So the cavalry galloped from front to back, shouting as they ran, "Old Willow Village! Who is from Old Willow Village! Old Willow Village, with or without you!"

I went back and forth twice, but no one came out to identify me.

When the cavalry called for the third time, in a certain township, among a group of villagers in the crowd, someone suddenly said, "Hey? Are you calling our village?"

The villagers pricked up their ears and heard it. Sure enough, they seemed to be shouting, and they hurried to the front.

As the cavalry approached, they heard it more and more clearly.

The people in this village waved to the cavalry, "Are you from Laoliu Village?"

The cavalryman came over, glanced at the villagers, and asked, "Did you know that there is Laoliu Village?"

The villagers replied, "We are all the same!"

The cavalryman looked up and saw that this township was Guangzong and Dongzhao Township.

After writing down their belongings, the cavalryman turned the horse's head, knocked the horse's belly with both feet, shouted "Drive!" and galloped back.

Everyone in Laoliu Village, Dongzhao Township, saw the cavalry leaving. Everyone was confused and didn't know why they were summoned just now.

Not long after, Laoliucun saw the cavalry leaving and returning, followed by another person.

When they got closer, when the man came closer, everyone in Laoliu Village also saw the person clearly, and they saw clearly that it was the little fool from the village's east leader, Lao Han. When everyone saw their old friend, they were extremely surprised, "Ah! Han!"

Uncle?! Are you still alive?!"

The dull and honest middle-aged man with a weathered face, known as Uncle Han, had been wandering for a long time without seeing any acquaintances. Now he finally saw someone from the same village, and he couldn't help but burst into tears.

The meeting between old friends was particularly warm. Everyone in Laoliu Village quickly pulled Uncle Han into the crowd and started asking questions.

When asked about Uncle Han's childhood, Uncle Han burst into tears and burst into tears.

Now, there was no need to ask, everyone already understood what was going on and could only sigh.
