In early April, it was the season when grass grew and flew. At this time in previous years, spring plowing had come to an end, but this year, the entire Changze County is still a desolate scene. In the best fertile fields, wild grasses are growing wildly. Farmers who should have worked in the farmland basically cannot see any shadows.

What causes all this is naturally war.

The Tubo people came, and the peace of Xiazhou was broken for many years, so the fields were naturally not planted. A large number of farmers were robbed by the Tubo people to serve as pioneers of civil servants, labor and even attacks. The villages were dilapidated in a short period of time, with their houses destroyed and their property looted. Occasionally, a few skinny dogs who had lost their masters appeared in the weeds. They had their masters, but now they could only feed in the wilderness alone. However, compared with those companions who had become food in their mouths, they were lucky, at least alive, at least free.

At the foot of the mountain, several figures appeared rarely, and they were working in the fields. Two men, one old and one young, were bent down, tied ropes on their bodies, moving forward step by step with difficulty. Behind them, a woman was holding a plow, and the long-sleeping soil separated to both sides like waves. The insects and earthworms hidden inside were crawling in the soil that was flinging open in a panic and jumping.

Hao Lian's family was a survivor of the robbery of Tubo. Their home was close to the mountainside. When the Tubo people came, they fled into the mountains in time. Although the house was burned by the Tubo people, fortunately the people were fine.

After hiding in the mountains for more than a month, Hao Lian's family took the courage to go down the mountain. Among the broken walls, the old man actually found that the grain seeds he had hidden in the cellar were lucky to have not been searched by the Tubo people.

Naturally, the seeds are reluctant to eat them. Even if they are hungry, they look like skeletons.

A straw shed was built next to the old house to settle down, and found the burnt plowshare from the ruins. Old man Hao Lian had good skills. He cut down the trees and repaired them, he could barely use them again.

But the big animals in the family were gone, and the two men could only act as oxen.

Only after spring comes, can you get harvests when autumn comes. Otherwise, how can you spend the whole year this year? I have missed the season this year, and the days will definitely not be easy, but as long as you sow the seeds, you will always plant hope!

The father and son, who were wearing only a pair of shorts, rolled down their sweat from their thin bodies. The patched clothes were folded neatly and placed aside, and they did not dare to let the ropes be tied over the clothes. This was their only clothing now. Although the flesh on their bodies was red and purple, it would always be fine if they rest for two days.

The sound of muffled thunder came from the sky. Old man Hao Lian stood up in surprise and looked up at the sky. The sun was still bright, so why did it thunder?

If an experienced person heard this sound, he would naturally know that it was not thunder, but the sound of large-scale cavalry approaching from a distance. Unfortunately, Hao Lian's family was a real farmer. Although their ancestors, Dangxiang people, were once powerful people on horseback, over the years, their genes on this have basically disappeared. Facing the loess and facing the genius is the main tone of their life.

The sound of muffled thunder continued, and the family finally noticed the abnormality. They turned around and looked in the direction where the muffled thunder came. A black line first appeared in their sight. Next, there were countless cavalry rolling in the mountains.

"Dad, run quickly!" The young wife holding the plow screamed in panic, holding her skirt and running towards the mountain not far away.

"It's too late, it's too late!" Old man Hao Lian said tremblingly.

The cavalry came too fast, how could they run past four hooves with two legs, and he knew clearly that escaping at this time would only arouse the attacks of those cavalry. A feather arrow could kill a person's life.

He suddenly grabbed a handful of black soil from the ridge of the fields, wiped his wife's face in a daze, and then squatted on the ground with his head in his arms.

"Squat down, squat down."

The young man and the young woman were at a loss at this time, so they could only imitate the old man's mock kiss, and squatted on the ground with their heads in their arms, trembling.

Countless war horses whizzed by not far from them, but the knight's shouts were in the Tang Dynasty with a straight word, not the Tubo people! Old man Hao Lian raised his head with courage, and what caught his eye was the flying Tang Dynasty battle flag.

Several horses stopped in front of them, and as they watched the huge horse hooves digging the ground in front of them, the old man Hao Lian quickly lowered his head again, and he didn't dare to take a breath.

"This father-in-law, stand up and talk!" A calm voice came from his head. Old man Hao Lian stood up tremblingly, looking up at the general on his horse in fear.

I am so young, I am afraid I will be a few years younger than my son. I turned around and looked at my son and daughter-in-law beside me, and I was still squatting on the ground with my head in my arms, my whole body was like a sieve.

The one riding on the horse was the great master who led the Right Martial Guard and the Left Jinwu Guard to a total of nearly 20,000 cavalry, and the one who was beside him was Liu Xiaochan, who was covered in dust on his face but still had a color.

"Mr. Jun!" Old Man Hao Lian stuttered.

"Do you know how far this place is from Changze County?" Li De asked.

"This is Anxiang, about thirty miles away from Changze County!" Hao Lian said quickly.

"Thirty miles?" Li De showed joy and turned to a toothed general beside him and said, "Send the order down, the whole army will rest for an hour and have a meal."

"Yes!" Yale took the order and left.

After a moment, the sound of military horns and the galloping cavalry paused in a very short time, turned over and dismounted one by one, and began to serve the war horses around them.

Li De also jumped off his horse, bent down and grabbed a handful of soil from the ground that had just been plowed, and squeezed it hard, and the soil leaked from the gap between his fingers.

"It's good to have a fertility!" Li Depraised: "Don't be afraid, my father-in-law, we are the Tang army. We have basically not seen anyone along the way. You are the first one I have seen to farm!"

"The Tubo people came, some fled into the city, some were captured by the Tubo people, and we escaped into the mountains, and we escaped!" Seeing the officers being kind, the old man Hao Lian also had a little courage. After all, this was the army of the Tang Dynasty, and he was a commoner of the Tang Dynasty. "Mr., are you here to fight against the Tubo people?"

"Of course." Li De smiled and said, "Old man, farm with peace of mind. It won't take long to kill all the Tubo people!" Li De made a gesture of cutting his neck.

"That's good." Old man Hao Lian was a little happy. Only when the Tubo people left could he feel at ease to farm. Although the government collected more taxes, he could still survive. Unlike the Tubo people who came, they robbed everything and did not give anyone any way to live. "But I missed the farming season this year, and the harvest was probably not good."

"Don't worry!" Li De reached out and patted the old man Hao Lian on the shoulder. The old man's body softened and almost fell to the ground. This officer was so many people, Guan'er was definitely young. Even the village chief had never patted his shoulder in his life!

"In the future, you will be the people of Li Xiang. Li Xiang will not let you starve. Today, when the harvest is not good, you can be exempted from taxes. If you can't eat enough, the government will provide relief. As long as the people of Li Xiang are willing to work, they will definitely have a good life."

The old man Hao Lian looked at Li De with a blank look on his face. Who is Li Xiang? He didn't know at all. No one knew what the county magistrate of Changze County was.

"I don't know who Li Xiang is? Li Xiang is the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty today, this is it!" Li De raised his thumb and shook it, then pointed at himself and said, "We are Li Xiang's army, and they were sent by Li Xiang to beat the Tubo people. Remember Luo, Li Xiang's surname is Li Ze."

"Remember it, remember it!" Old man Hao Lian nodded repeatedly. Such a high-ranking official should be disdainful to deceive himself. He can be exempted from taxes and relief. This is a great thing! If this really happens, then this hard life this year will be over.

Looking at the appearance of the old man Hao Lian, Li De suddenly felt a little sad. For no reason, he remembered the scene when he was before he became an orphan. He was also so thin that he was only skinny that he stuffed the last half of the bun into his hands.

He turned around, took out several pancakes from the horse and stuffed them into the hands of the old man Hao Lian.

"Take it, have a full meal, then plow the fields and plant the fields."

Old man Hao Lian looked at the pancake in his hand and his eyes were a little straightened. The officer was very kind and beyond his understanding. He actually gave him some food? Is this dreaming?

Liu Xiaochan, who was on the other side, also smiled and took out a set of clothes from the bag on the horse and threw them to the woman who was snuggling tightly behind the young man, saying, "This set of clothes is for you. The clothes on your body are too torn and can't be worn. Wash your face clean. Women can be poor, but not dirty. Don't worry, we are here, no one can bully you anymore."

Only then did the old man Hao Lian realize that the beautiful officer who had never made a sound was actually a woman.

"Let's go!" Li De turned over and ran forward.

I haven’t seen such a miserable scene in so many days!

Only under the rule of the young master can one live and work in peace and contentment!

Looking at Li De's back as he got on the horse and looked at the army that was pausing and tidying up his clothes at first sight, the old man's eyes turned red: "Good people, they are all good people, we can finally live some peaceful days."
