Chapter 296 Unfortunate West Neighbor

Ye Anlan's time is peaceful, but her newly released neighbors in the west have greatly damaged their vitality due to the large-scale drought in the two prefectures and eleven counties in the territory.

Her new neighbor, whose surname is Han, is from a second-rate family. He launched a coup about half a year ago and directed the private soldiers of the Han family to kill his father-in-law, Ye Anlan's former neighbor.

Afterwards, the man used his interests to win over most of his father-in-law's old subordinates and successfully turned the original Wang family army into the Han family army.

However, just after his first wife died of illness and he married again, a drought suddenly broke out in his territory.

The rain has not fallen for four months, and the water levels of rivers and wells are getting lower and lower day by day, and the ground is bare and cannot grow crops at all. Ordinary people who have not lived a good life in the past can't live a good life now.

More and more ordinary people joined the refugee team and tried to cross the Han family's cordon and enter Ye Anlan's territory with the refugees.

After Ye Anlan learned that the drought was occurring on the territory of his next neighbor, he was ready to accept a large number of victims.

After all, with the current vast land and sparsely populated land, even her territory, which has a relatively large population, can actually accommodate double the population.

The number of victims about to influx is actually less than one percent of the population in her territory.

She was ready to continue to receive population resources, but the Han family army did not intend to drive away refugees into Ye Anlan's territory as before.

The former General Wang and the present General Han are very similar to the father-in-law and son-in-law who hate refugees.

In order to prevent Ye Anlan from continuing to absorb vital forces and strengthen his own strength, the two neighbors in Ye Anlan chose to either absorb refugees or drive them in the opposite direction.

Only this father-in-law and son-in-law who hates refugees and treats refugees as harmful substances will directly drive those refugees who pass by their territory to Ye Anlan's territory with a faint malice towards the Ye family.

In previous cases, those victims who were forced to become refugees thought they would definitely be able to enter Ye's family smoothly and live a wonderful life with food and water from now on.

However, what they did not expect was that the Han family army had turned out to be normal and directly sent heavy troops to block out several necessary paths to the Ye family.

The victims were hungry and finally walked to the border, but unexpectedly, what was waiting for them was not life but death.

There was no disaster relief food, no life-saving water, and no official road or path leading to Ye’s family. There was only a cold light, facing their swords, guns, swords and halberds.

In fact, if they can, they don’t want to leave their hometown and become rootless duckweed from now on, but the problem is that they have to find a way to survive.

Even if the Han family army only gave them some porridge so that they could survive, they could still hold a glimmer of hope, but the Han family army would only ask them not to leave the country.

Is it humans doing not to give them food, not to give them water, and not to let them find a way to survive on their own?

The victims begged for no success. In a stalemate between the two sides, the victims were about to starve to death in front of the Han family army. Finally, some victims couldn't help but jump out and began to incite everyone to fight against the Han family army.

They had no armor and no decent weapons. The only thing they could do was to fight against the Han family army with hoes, hatches and other things.

These people either didn't know that they had gone there or had no return, but they knew that if they continued to stalemate with these unhealthy Han family troops, they would all die of thirst and starvation in the end.

They all die at all times, so why don’t they drag the bastards who killed them to die together?

***

On a barren mountain outside the West City Gate of Yuncheng, several young and middle-aged men who were leading the organization with the Han family army were gathered together to discuss the combat plan, but suddenly a clear and pleasant voice from the woman came from beside her, "You can't do this."

Everyone looked in the voice and saw a man wearing coarse cloth clothes like them. Uh, this was clearly a girl in men's clothing!

The young man in charge looked alert, "When did you come? Have you heard what we said?"

After he said this, his companions immediately pulled out the knife from his waist.

"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, I'm here to help you." The girl in man's clothes on the tree shook her feet slightly, and her body fell straight down from the tree.

Just when everyone suspected that she would throw herself out, the girl actually landed lightly but steadily on the small slope in front of everyone, facing everyone's vigilant gaze.

"Your plan is too rough. You set fire to transfer some of the Han family troops, and then rushed over and broke through. The dead ones blame him for his bad life. Those who are alive will run to Ye's side..."

Ye Anlan briefly summarized what everyone had just discussed, and then asked them a question from their souls, "Do you think you can run past the Han family army's horse?"

The man in the leader tightly held the knife in his hand, "We can hide in the mountains."

"You don't have a chance." Ye Anlan waved his hand slightly at the man, "To leave Yuncheng, you must first break through the west gate of Yuncheng, and then cross the Yuncheng, and open the east gate of Yuncheng under the pursuit of the Han family army. With your combat power, are you sure you can walk around safely from the dragon pond and tiger den?"

The man in the leader responded to Ye Anlan, "We didn't plan to escape unstoppably."

Ye Anlan spread his hands, "Then you don't plan to wipe out the entire army, are you?"

The man in the leader stopped talking.

Ye Anlan looked around at everyone present, "I can help you get into the city, but I can't help you get out of the city from the east. If you want to get out, the only way is to knock down most of the defenders in Yuncheng."

Everyone stared at Ye Anlan in unison. If they could knock down most of the defenders in Yuncheng, they would still be in trouble with this tragic discussion on how to forcibly pass the level?

Ye Anlan and the others stared at him, "You can't do it, right? If you can't do it, don't be stuck here. This is not the only way to the Ye family. If you can trust me, I can take you to other roads."

Everyone looked at each other, but for a long time no one spoke.

Ye Anlan said again: "I can give you food and water, of course, it is just a minimum of guarantee that you will never die."

Halfway through her words, the eyes of the people on the opposite side were illuminated into several pairs of large-wattage searchlights.

They were all people who were about to starve and die of thirst. At this time, food and water were fatal attraction to them. When they heard that there was something to eat and drink, these people could not even care about doubts and question Ye Anlan.

Not to mention that Ye Anlan gave them food and water conditions just to let them follow him, she even asked them to go to the west gate of Yuncheng immediately, without any hesitation.

The young man in the lead swallowed hard, "You, do you really have food and water?"
