Lin Tingxuan shouted a few more times, but those people were still running.

He stopped shouting, just found an open space, ordered the soldiers to stop, and then began to set up a stall for Shimi.

He left a thousand soldiers here to give rice to the people, and the rest of the soldiers went to help the people whose houses had collapsed to rebuild their homes.

After the people of Beiming Kingdom ran away, they found that the enemy army did not pursue them at all.

They stopped there, opened sacks of white rice, and shouted: "Everyone who is affected by the disaster, no matter adults or children, can come to us to receive a cup of rice."

When the common people saw the rice, everyone's eyes lit up!

After so many days of heavy rain, there was no ocean everywhere, the houses were washed away, and the food was soaked.

They hid in a high place, from digging wild vegetables to eating bark to wrap their stomachs, they were already hungry, and now they saw the white rice, and they couldn't move their feet!

Day and night, I hope that the imperial court will give porridge and rice, but I have not waited for it, but I did not expect that Shimi, the enemy army, came.

Is it credible?

Everyone thought that since the soldiers of Nalan Kingdom sent troops to attack the city, they heard that they really did not kill ordinary people.

Of course, the imperial court did not propagate it like this. It said that the soldiers of Nalan Kingdom were cruel and innocent. When there was no food, they were so hungry that they even ate the flesh of children.

However, there were still civilians who escaped from the soldiers of the Nalan Kingdom unharmed, so everyone said that the Nalan Army really didn't kill ordinary people.

Everyone didn't go deep into whether it was true or false before.

But at this moment, everyone hopes it is true.

A woman with a child croaking with hunger couldn't help but go forward, because she would starve to death if she didn't go to get the rice anyway!

No matter what, you are dead. What are you afraid of?

With such a mentality, the woman stepped forward and successfully received a cup of rice for each person.

The woman and the child in her arms received two cups of rice altogether.

The woman burst into tears looking at the white rice!

Although a cup of rice per person is not much, it is enough to cook a pot of porridge for a whole day, at least you don't have to starve to death!

The child eats less, can eat more.

She knelt down with the child in her arms and kowtowed to the soldiers: "Thank you! Thank you!"

The soldier who took the lead in distributing rice said, "You're welcome, go find clean water and cook porridge for the children! Don't starve the children."

The reason why they serve rice instead of porridge is also because this area is still the territory of Beiming Kingdom, and it is not convenient for them to light a fire to cook porridge.

A cup of rice is distributed to each person, which is enough for everyone to cook a few bowls of gruel for a whole day.

The woman kowtowed three more times, and hurried to make porridge with the rice.

Everyone saw that someone got Mi, and the soldiers of Nalan Kingdom didn't catch her.

The hunger made them unable to bear it any longer, and they went forward to collect rice one after another.

More and more people ran to collect the rice, and ran away after receiving the rice, but the soldiers did not catch them or kill them.

Gradually, those who ran far came back to collect rice.

Lin Tingxuan divided into several teams and went to several severely affected villages to provide assistance.

The news that there were soldiers from the Nalan Kingdom Shi Mi outside the city was widely spread, and it spread quickly!

More and more affected people are collecting rice.

The officials of Beiming State's Dazhou Prefecture also heard about this matter soon.

Those officials got together to deliberate.

"Master Zhifu, the soldiers of Nalan Kingdom have ulterior motives and are doing things outside the city to win people's hearts. Should we send troops out to drive them away?"

The prefect of Dazhou shook his head: "No, the imperial court has not issued a decree yet, and we have no food to relieve the disaster. Since the enemy army is helping us with the disaster relief, let them do it! It just reduces our burden, doesn't it?"

Dazhou Hushu nodded: "Master Zhifu is right. His Majesty just ordered us to prepare one hundred thousand shi of military food for the soldiers. Now we are short of food. There is no food relief at all. If there is no food relief, there will be refugees. When those refugees flood into the imperial capital and cause turmoil, His Majesty will definitely punish us for our ineffective relief! The enemy army of Nalan Kingdom did not take the opportunity to attack Dazhou City, but instead took out military rations to help our people. No matter how you look at this matter, It will be of great benefit to us in Dazhou!"

Dazhou Military Book: "That's right, if we send troops to drive out the relief enemy at this time, it will cause public anger instead. Have we ever seen the people who were hit by disasters in the past, starved, became refugees, and caused turmoil? Now the enemy For the sake of reputation, for the hearts of the people, and to show their righteousness, let them go there! It just saves us a lot of trouble! The most important thing for us now is to keep Dazhou City, and don’t be captured by the soldiers of Nalan Kingdom!"

The prefect of Dazhou: "Well, you are right, as long as we keep Dazhou City from being captured by the enemy, no matter how much food the soldiers of Nalan Kingdom give to help our people, it will be in vain! Just imagine, waiting for this time The catastrophe of the disaster has passed, and the people are living a good life again. Who still remembers the small favor of a cup or two of rice they sent? If we send troops to drive them away now, it will only anger the people who are suffering, Nalan The enemy army of the country took the opportunity to incite them to rebel! Then we will be in big trouble! So let them go to Shimi, and rescue! We defend the city, and don’t bother! Otherwise, we will fall into the enemy’s tricks!"

"Your Excellency is right, do we need to report this matter to Your Majesty?"

Dazhou Hushu: "Why do you need to report such trivial matters to His Majesty?"

If you don't tell His Majesty, when the disaster is over, he will write another letter. The credit for disaster relief will be theirs!

In this way, his position as the accountant in charge of disaster relief can also be raised.

The magistrate of Dazhou: "Although the matter is small, it is related to the enemy country, and we still have to report it to His Majesty. Since the enemy army is here to help our people with military rations, we Beiming Kingdom can also take this opportunity to send troops to Nalan Kingdom and take the opportunity to take us back." The city that was lost before, so the people have been saved, and the city has been taken back, isn’t it killing two birds with one stone?”

"My lord is wise!"

capital city

Ten days had passed when Nalan Jinnian received the news that Beiming Kingdom sent troops to attack the city while their soldiers were helping the people of Dazhou City.

When the news was received, the Seventh Prince happened to be having dinner in Zichen Palace.

He couldn't help cursing directly: "The Beiming Kingdom is so shameless! We didn't take the opportunity to fall into trouble, but they even took the opportunity to attack the city! Uncle Seventeen Emperors, what should we do next? This disaster relief can't continue! In my opinion, we should directly capture Dazhou City now! Let's see how the Beiming Kingdom is doing!"

Nalan Jinnian shook his head: "The disaster relief cannot be stopped, and I don't plan to send troops to attack the city for the time being."

The Seventh Prince was stunned: "Why? Could it be that the Beiming Kingdom was allowed to bully us so shamelessly?"

Nalan Jinnian picked up some food with chopsticks for Nuan Nuan, and said flatly, "Think about why."
