Just after midnight, Ren Xiaonian's army of 10,000 were divided into several routes and entered Jiujiang.

As the three thousand people stationed at Liu Yuan, the earliest group of people crossed the boundary marker and advanced all the way to Jiujiang City.

During the days when he was stationed on the border, Liu Yuan sent a lot of scouts to explore the road opposite basically clearly. Three thousand people walked along the main road, swaying at full speed at full speed.

When it was dawn, they had already advanced about thirty miles, and began to stop and take a break, and also started to have breakfast.

Each soldier had a flat iron kettle on his waist, filled with cold boiled water. In the bag around his waist, there were dry cakes and jerky meat. At this moment, everyone was sitting on the ground on the road, catching cold boiled water, and starting to eat pancakes and jerky meat.

"There is a farm there!" Leng Feng pointed to the distance and pointed at Liu Yuandao.

Liu Yuan nodded and turned around and shouted, "Yu Yao, take your people to see. If there are still Liu Xinda's soldiers who have not left, they will be eliminated on the spot. If only the people are left, please place them first and then come to chase the large army."

A lieutenant jumped up and chewed the cake while shouting for the order.

After a while, a team of 100 Tang troops left the large army and ran along the path towards the farm in the distance.

Although according to the agreement between the two sides, Liu Xinda's army should have left their defense areas and began to concentrate in the direction of Jiujiang City, and then left Jiujiang before the Tang army arrived. However, as an experienced army, it would never relax its vigilance at any time.

When approaching the farm, the Tang army with one hundred people had already expanded its formation, slowed down, and approached carefully towards the gate.

The door was open, and from the hole-opened door, it looked empty and nothing.

Several Tang soldiers quickly took in, two guarded the door, and the remaining few rushed into the door with their shields and knives.

"No other army was found!"

With their shouts, Yu Yao rushed into the farm with the rest of the people.

The farm was extremely quiet, with rows of thatched bungalows covered with grass. Yu Yao glanced around and took a few steps, walked towards the bungalows with iron locks hanging on the doors, and slashed them down with a knife. With a sound of the sound, the iron lock was cut off and pushed open the wooden door. Yu Yao's gaze suddenly subsided.

There were at least thirty people in the small bungalow.

At this moment, the sky was completely bright, and Yu Yao could clearly see the scene in the house. The room was too small, and it was impossible for thirty people to lie down. They were leaning against people, crowded with people sitting on the ground, and what shocked Yu Yao even more was that this person was tied with his hands behind his back.

At this moment, some of these people had woken up and were staring at them with big eyes in horror, while others seemed to be still sleeping.

After the two sides looked at each other for a moment, one of the locked people struggled to stand up and shouted: "Get up, you're up, it's dawn, you're going to work!"

With the shouts of this man, the people in the room leaned against each other and took advantage of each other's strength to stand up from the ground.

Yu Yao's eyes fell on a man who was still sitting on the ground. As the person next to him stood up, the man tilted his body and fell sideways.

Waving his hand, the two soldiers rushed over and squatted down to look at the person who was tilted to the ground. One of them reached out to touch the person's neck, and then turned to look at Yu Yao, but shook his head.

"Captain, he is dead!" said the soldier.

"Dead?"

"Dead!"

The people in the room didn't seem to be too surprised. They just tilted their heads and looked at the person who would never stand up again, and then turned their heads one after another.

They have seen too many such scenes and are already numb.

"Take them out and loosen their ties!" Yu Yao felt his heart twitching, and turned around and walked out.

Someone was walking out of the bungalow, and all of them were tied with their hands behind their backs. They were as thin as fire, with bones standing on their feet.

Even though the Tang army soldiers loosened the ropes for them, these people still stood there with dull eyes, looking at the Tang army around them, confused, numb, helpless, and resigned to fate, which is the true portrayal of these people at this moment.

"Is there anyone in charge?" Yu Yao asked loudly.

No one answered in the crowd.

"Friends, we are the Tang army and are under General Li Mi. Do you know General Li Mi?" Yu Yao asked again.

There was still a quiet place in the crowd.

Yu Yao was silent for a moment and spoke again: "Friends, Liu Xinda has been beaten away by us, and those who locked you here have been beaten away by us. You are free, you can go home."

There was still silence in the crowd, but Yu Yao found that some people inside raised their heads and looked shocked, unbelievable or surprising.

He repeated it again.

"Liu Xinda ran away. We are the Tang army. You are free. You can go home!"

Either because his voice was loud enough this time, or some of these people finally woke up and someone started to rush.

"There is no home? All the family members are dead, and I'm left, and I'm left!" Yu Yao looked at the man, looking about 40 or 50 years old, but he was not sure. To be honest, everyone here looks like little old men.

There are about two hundred people here, with only four or five women inside. They were found from the kitchen. They were treated slightly better and were not tied with their hands behind their backs.

When a man cried, he was like a river breaking his mouth. In a blink of an eye, the whole yard was filled with crying sounds. Some of these people stood, some sat down, and some even lay on the ground and burst into tears.

Although they didn't know who these people were released, they heard clearly that those who captured them, those who detained them here and forced them to work every day were driven away by the troops in front of them.

Yu Yao didn't say anything else, or, at this time, these people burst into tears, which was a good thing.

He reached out to call a subordinate and asked in a low voice: "Is there any food in the farm?"

"I found it, about dozens of thrones. The enemy took away part of it, and the rest may not be able to take it away."

"Go to make the fire and make some porridge. Remember, don't cook it too thick. Judging from the appearance of these people, I'm afraid they're always hungry and can't eat too much at once. Also, see if there is any meat. If not, chop our jerky and add it to it."

"yes!"

Amid the crying, the smell of porridge came, and with the morning breeze, the crying people stopped, their eyes were looking at the soldiers walking towards them carrying large wooden barrels.

Yu Yao picked up a large thick porcelain bowl from a bamboo basket, scooped a bowl of porridge, and handed it to a person in front of him.

All the soldiers started to move, each scooped a bowl of porridge and delivered it to the hands of these people in turn.

After everyone drank a bowl of porridge, the crowd finally became a little angry.

Yu Yao spoke again.

"Any one of you who is literate? Or have you been Muramasa or Ritsumasa before?"

He stood up alone.

"The little old man used to be the head of Taozi Village."

"Very good, it's you!" Yu Yao was overjoyed and walked to him: "We have driven away Liu Xinda's army. You are free. You can go home. Do you understand what I mean?"

The little old man said miserably: "Sir, we have no home. Our home has been burned by the robbers and snatched all the things. The little old man has a family of five, his wife has died, and their son and daughter-in-law have been taken away by them. Only the little old man is left. Everyone here is like this, we have no home."

Yu Yao was silent for a moment: "Since you have no home, you should settle here first. Since you have been a village official before, you should know how to do it. We also have to go to Jiujiang to pursue Liu Xinda's troops, so you can only manage it here yourself. If there is food here, you will not be hungry. In a few days, our Emperor will send officials to settle you. After they come, you will know what to do. But before they come, don't run around. Although there is a lot of food, you should also save food. The dead man, find a place to bury him well!"

Speaking of this, Yu Yao didn't know what to say. He paused for a moment before saying, "You all look weak, so let's take care of yourself here. Everything will be fine."

"Thank you, sir, thank you! We will not run around, we will stay in this village, waiting for the officials to come." The little old man nodded repeatedly.

Yu Yao looked at these people again, shook his head, waved his hand, and quickly left with his subordinates. For many years, he had never seen a person as miserable as before him.

It was already an hour later when they caught up with Liu Yuan. Yu Yao found that there was a lot less team. Needless to ask, they probably did the same thing as themselves.

"General Liu, it's so miserable!" He whispered to Liu Yuan what he saw and heard.

"Damn Liu Xinda, you really don't treat people as human beings!" Liu Yuan gritted his teeth. "I really want to cut him alive."

"Good will be rewarded with good deeds, and evil will be rewarded with evil. It is not that the time has not come!" Leng Feng said on the side: "A person like this will never have a good ending. Let's take a look!"

"I don't believe this nonsense. The old saying goes that good people don't live long and will last for thousands of years!" Liu Yuan said in a hatred: "You should slash such a bad person with one knife to finish it."
