Thinking of this, the commander ordered his men to travel all night. There were only a few days before the food and grass could be delivered to their destination.

However, along the way, the Jin Yiwei still had no money to eat. This time they raised a lot of food in Luoyuan Fucheng.

At this time, the Lu family army retreated to a county three hundred miles away from Songjiang Fucheng.

The walls of the county town are not as high as those of the prefectural city, and they are not as thick as those of the prefectural city, and there are no officers and soldiers to defend the city.

The Lu family army was able to enter easily. Unfortunately, the county was also in poverty, and the people in the city only ate wild vegetables.

The rich people and the small aristocratic families in the county did have food to eat, so Lu Chengdi ordered his men to go directly and steal their food.

Their Lu family army was really hungry and panicked. The previous 500,000 Chu family army had only 450,000 people when the name was changed.

After several months of war, there are now less than 300,000 people left, and some have died of fighting or starvation.

Because the Lu family army was retreating steadily, the people along the road despised them, and no one took the initiative to send food to the Lu family army.

The common people along the road ran away when they saw the Lu Jiajun, and they didn't know whether it was true or a rumor that the Lu Jiajun cannibalize human flesh.

Killing, cooking and eating children when they see them. Whether it is true or a rumor, this is something everyone talks about.

In this way, a new group of refugees were added, and the Lu Jiajun's image in the hearts of the people was not only that of a despicable and shameless person.

They are even more ruthless and terrifying, eating human flesh and drinking human blood. At least it is true that the Lu family army robbed them of their food.

That is a fact that small aristocratic families and wealthy people have personally experienced. They are afraid of the Lu family army, so they can only run away.

The common people remembered the Chu family's military excellence more and more, and the rumors from years ago were remembered by the common people again and spread everywhere.

The refugees fleeing the famine went straight to Youzhou, because the gates of Songjiang Fucheng they passed by were not open, so they couldn't get in even if they wanted to.

The refugees fleeing famine this time are in much better condition than when they fled the famine during the locust plague, when there was no grass growing everywhere.

Nowadays, there are wild vegetables and weeds everywhere. Although we still don’t have enough to eat, at least we won’t starve to death.

The people who would not starve to death had faith again, so they fled along the road, carrying wind as they walked.

The refugees who were fleeing from famine had a goal in mind, and it was not that difficult. They passed by the refugees who were fleeing from famine along the way and spread the word.

The people in the counties that were relatively close to the Lu family army ran away in advance. The small aristocratic families who had food took all their food to the road to eat.

They would also give some alms to the refugees fleeing the famine who reported the news, thus forming a long fleeing team.

They were not afraid of the hardships and went on their way. The older generation also fled the famine, and their destination at that time was the capital.

In the end, they were mercilessly driven away by the soldiers guarding the capital. This time, their destination was the barren Youzhou.

Refugee A said: "Brother, if you take all your wealth and flee to Youzhou like this, what if Youzhou also falls?"

"Hey! If all the capitals and cities in Youzhou fall, then Dongchen Kingdom will no longer exist, so it is most reliable to go to Youzhou." A man who was fleeing the famine said with great enthusiasm.

"Brother, why are you so sure? Do you know the inside story?" Refugee A asked again.

"I guess what I mean is that because there is the Marquis of Zhennan and the King of Zhenbei in Youzhou, and they join forces, it must be safe there."

"Yes, I'm so stupid, why didn't I think of that? Let's go, our whole family will follow you."

"Hey! I'm not leaving. I thought you had an appointment with the Marquis of Zhennan! You don't know if the Marquis of Zhennan is still alive, so you go blindly. I won't do such a stupid thing."

"It doesn't matter if you don't go. If the imperial court sends reinforcements, we will be saved here."

"Then you are still following? Why don't you stay?" asked a man who was about to flee.

"No matter what happens in Youzhou, we just want to farm safely there. There is no hope for the Lu family army in the south."

"Brother is right. Youzhou City is the place where Zhennanhou was exiled. As long as there is Zhennanhou, it is a safe place. Let's go with him."

Everyone was busy discussing, but very few people stayed, and most of them ran away together.

They really don't know whether Zhennan Hou is still alive, but that is the belief in their hearts.

If there is not even the last hope of Zhennan Hou, then what hope do the people have?

Staying here is just a kind of torture, especially for the small aristocratic families whose food was robbed by the Lu family army. They are even more aggrieved and want to escape from here.

"Forget it if you don't go. We must go to Youzhou to find the Marquis of Zhennan. Anyway, there is no hope at all if we stay here."

After the Lu family's army robbed the food in their mansion, these small aristocratic families prepared to flee and go to Youzhou City to find the Marquis of Zhennan.

They are southerners, and the god of war in their hearts is Zhennanhou. They may have heard of Zhenbei King, but their belief is Zhennanhou.

They really don't know whether Zhennanhou is still there. It's just their inner belief that the place with Zhennanhou is heaven.

In the near future, they, the refugees fleeing from famine, will be the ones most grateful for the impulsiveness and leadership at this time.

They relied on perseverance, and after three months and untold hardships, they finally reached their goal. They never dreamed that what was waiting for them was actually paradise.

The couple Chu Lixuan and Jiang Xinyan still don’t know that there are a large number of believers coming to seek refuge with them in the south of Dongchen Kingdom!

At this time, they were in the chicken farm, and Jiang Xinyan happily counted their chickens, more than 30,000 chickens.

"Oh my God! This Youzhou City is not very poor. So many chickens were replaced at one time. The hens will start laying eggs after they get familiar with the environment."

Jiang Xinyan's eyes and brows were all smiling, and it could be seen that she was happy from the bottom of her heart.

"Madam, almost all the chickens in Youzhou City are here. We exchanged them at a generous price. They were reluctant to eat them, so we gave them all in exchange."

Zhao Yu wanted to laugh when he thought about the process of their food exchange. At the beginning, the people in the city picked out chickens weighing two kilograms.

Because Mao Yiming made the announcement according to Jiang Xinyan's wishes, one chicken would be exchanged for one bucket of rice for two to three kilograms of chicken.

When Zhao Yu and the others actually brought out the white rice, those aristocratic families and wealthy people grabbed all the chickens on their farm.

Regardless of whether it was two kilograms or three kilograms, it was the last word to switch to rice. After several rounds of exploitation by the government, their family had very little food left.

With no food in their hands, they were very panicked! It would take two months for the new rice they planted to be harvested.

They could raise more chickens and exchange all the chickens for food. This was a rare opportunity, so they exchanged 30,000 chickens.

In fact, it's not too much to say the least. There are only 30,000 chickens in the entire city.
