Chapter 117: A Place Beyond the World (Subscription Request)

Day two.

The sky was bright.

Lu Yuan then set out from the Tianxing military camp with nearly 8,000 soldiers.

The place he chose was not the border where officials and soldiers met.

There are official roads along the way, and the journey is smooth.

There are marching stations along the way, where local personnel provide freshly prepared meals, as well as weapons, armor and some necessary items.

You don’t need to bring the rest.

The light army set out and marched quickly all the way, and they would arrive at Qingquan Prefecture before the afternoon.

"Da da da da~!"

"Thump, thump, thump~!".

"Wow!"

In addition to the leader Lu Yuan, Li Qi and several managers were riding horses.

Including six brigade commanders, Zhou An, Meng Yan, Song Wen, Xu Changqing, Zhou Qing, and Ma Zongwei, and 8,000 soldiers, they trotted forward on a hard dirt road near the river.

Without any weight on their bodies, the eight thousand soldiers of the Tianxing Army ran very fast.

In half an hour, you can walk about seven kilometers.

The hard dirt road was covered with dust.

As soon as the smoke and dust rose, it was suppressed by the mist washed away by the nearby river.

Along the river, there are endless golden rice fields.

Many adults, with their children, were in the fields, rolling up their trouser legs, stepping barefoot into the wet mud, holding sickles, and harvesting wheat one by one.

Hearing the noise coming from afar, old men and women, as well as little kids, who were busy working with their butts sticking out, all looked towards the hard dirt official road like ears of wheat suddenly rising in the fields.

After seeing that it was a long line of soldiers, many of those who stood up shouted "Hey hey!" and waved their hands.

The soldiers who were marching quickly would naturally not respond.

But they all turned their heads and smiled at the people waving in the field.

Lu Yuan was riding a horse.

The rushing water in the river hit the rocks, and the overflowing water vapor penetrated into his nose.

Lu Yuan half-closed his eyes and let the horse carry him forward.

Along the way, whether passing through villages, counties or towns, we saw green vegetables planted outside and golden rice waiting to be harvested.

If this happened in the countryside in the previous life, it would not be surprising.

But this is a troubled time.

During the turbulent times, a lot of food was planted within the high walls. There were people guarding it every day, and even soldiers patrolling, for fear that the food would be pulled up by the refugees.

Along the way, golden, green, and bright red fruits and oranges were scattered in the fields and hanging on the trees, but no one was guarding them.

Lu Yuan was riding a horse on the road at this time. He stretched out his hand and plucked a pomelo that was hanging heavily on the branch of a tree.

The ruthless iron hand broke the pomelo into two halves with skin and flesh.

He finished the sweet pomelo in just a few bites.

It was so comfortable that I almost fell asleep on the horse's back.

Li Qi, who was riding a horse nearby, bowed to the farmers in the fields who recognized him and called him "Li Canshi". Then he said to Lu Yuan with some pride:
“Brother Lu, this is the Yunzhou territory under the jurisdiction of the Tianxing Army.

After the Tianxing Army launched the uprising, they captured the four prefectures of Yunzhou, beheaded the corrupt officials, divided the land of the wealthy, and distributed all the land to the poor or the wealthy businessmen whose land had been confiscated for cultivation.

With the four prefectures as their foundation, they cultivated agriculture, despised commerce, and reclaimed a large amount of farmland and barren hills to plant rice, vegetables, and fruit.

In this way, although there were no wealthy people in the four prefectures and dozens of counties, the common people all had jobs and food to eat.

Everyone has the same land and the same things they get from it. Therefore, no matter whether it is the county or the town, everyone leaves their doors unlocked at night, and the relationship between neighbors is extremely harmonious, with almost no major conflicts caused by fighting over something. "

When several young girls in the field stood up and called his name with muddy hands, Li Qi nodded with a smile and continued:

“Brother Lu, in this turbulent time, in the past five years, there have been millions of people in the four prefectures and dozens of counties. Even in this year of snow disasters and reduced production, we have hardly heard of anyone starving to death.

You said, if the Tianxing Army took over the world, there would be no more starving people and no more human tragedies in this world?"

Lu Yuan sat on a tall horse with his eyes slightly narrowed.

He heard what Li Qi said, but he said nothing.

That’s right, this kind of life where everyone has land to farm and everyone has food to eat is indeed what most people yearn for in this chaotic world.

However, precisely because of this, compared to Yunzhou, which is like a paradise on earth, the states under the jurisdiction of the imperial court are places where starving people are everywhere and bandits are rampant.

This place is really too eye-catching!
It was like a sharp knife stabbing into the heart of the Daqian court.

If what happened here were to spread, it would give hope and an example to the hungry people in other states.

There will be even more people who resist and start an uprising!

The Daqian court would never allow such a paradise to exist.

Therefore, three cavalry generals with nearly 100,000 troops surrounded the small half of Yunzhou.

The Tianxing Army here will not be allowed to develop at all, nor will the common people be given the opportunity to spread the news.

I'm afraid this place has become the first place that the imperial court must suppress.

This even includes the millions of people who have been living very well these days and coexisting with the Tianxing Army.

The imperial court, if they capture this place, I’m afraid they won’t leave a single person alive!
Then, it will be the real hell on earth.

I just hope that what was said about the kings at yesterday's meeting can put enough pressure on the court.

Or maybe they hope that the 100,000 soldiers of the Tianxing Army can withstand the attack from the imperial court.

Otherwise, once the city is breached, he has a long way to go and he will not necessarily live and die with these millions of civilians.

He wanted to protect the lives of these pawns who were loyal to him.

In this way, even if the Tianxing Army is destroyed, it will not harm his confidence in surviving in this chaotic world.

"Wow!"

The water is still flowing fast.

"Da da da da~!"

“Tap tap tap~!”

Eight thousand soldiers were still marching on the road, splashing mud all over the ground.

In the distant sky, one can see that in a large shed, hundreds of busy villagers and farmers as well as stationed Tianxing Army soldiers gathered.

Under the shed, they were setting up one big black pot after another.

Chunks of meat were already cooked in the pot, and the blood of the livestock beside the black pot had dried up.

The cooked white rice was covered by the pot lid. A wisp of heat and sweetness rose above the greenhouse, followed the big roc and floated towards the edge of the greenhouse.

Even though the road was so far away, you could already see the white steam rising.

At this time, even though his superpowers had not yet taken effect, his stomach was already growling.

He waved the whip in his hand and led the way towards the post station in front.

No matter what will happen to Yunzhou in the future.

All Lu Yuan knew was that here he lived and worked in peace and contentment, with plenty of food, which was enough for him to survive and develop.

That's enough!

We’ll think about what happens next later!
