I didn't find it, but it was abnormal.

Don't forget that according to the city's residents, a plague broke out in Yokoyama Castle at the beginning of the fog and closed the city, and many people died.

Bai Yuqi didn't think that with the situation at that time, the survivors still had the energy and mood to collect the corpse.

Even if you don't find a negative energy creature, you can still think that you were attracted out by the previous battle and were wiped out together, but where are the corpses in the city?

"Hmm......"

Bai Yuqi's eyes swept over a group of ragged Goguryeo people, but finally stopped for a moment on several Hengshan City officials.

Somewhat surprised, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked Qin Qiong beside him with interest: "Are these Goguryeo officials in charge of managing Hengshan City?"

"Qiyu Xingjun, that is the Goguryeo 'close branch' who is responsible for the management of Hengshan City, also known as the 'Taoist envoy', which is about the same as the official position of the 'Assassin History' of the Tang Dynasty, and the rest are the assistants in charge of Cao affairs under the Taoist envoy, and they are all petty officials. ”

Qin Qiong glanced at the Goguryeo officials who were kneeling on the ground like quails, with a sneering face, and snorted disdainfully, before replying: "The Goguryeo general next to the Taoist envoy is the 'last guest' guarding Hengshan City, and he should be a 'big brother' level general, which is about the same as the Zhonglang general of the Tang Dynasty......"

Bai Yuqi was stunned for a while when he heard this, what kind of official name is this?

Qin Qiong explained for a while before Bai Yuqi figured out that the so-called "Dao Envoy" was almost equivalent to the county magistrate who managed Hengshan City, and the "Moke" was almost equivalent to the county public security chief, and he belonged to the resident general.

This Goguryeo official title is strange, such as the higher-level "Mattress Sa, Da Moda" and the like, all of which are held by officials of the rank of "junior brother, eldest brother, eldest brother, eldest brother".

This made Bai Yuqi's head big for a while, and he didn't even understand the official position of the Tang Dynasty, let alone the official position of the big head and small head in the small place of Goguryeo, so he simply pretended to understand and waited for Qin Qiong to continue, lest he have to be verbose for a long time when he explained.

“...... This Hengshan City is a border city adjacent to my Tang Dynasty, which can be regarded as one of the big cities of no small scale, although there are only a few thousand households in the city in normal times, there are always tens of thousands of people in the land under its jurisdiction. ”

Qin Qiong did not hide his contempt for these big-headed and small-headed Goguryeo brothers: "The officials who can be officials do not know how to shelter the people when they encounter danger, but instead gather the people in the city and detain them in the official office to die in place, and their hearts can be punished!"

Bai Yuqi originally wondered why the population of such an important border city was so small.

When there was no war in peacetime, the people were scattered in the villages under the jurisdiction of Yokoyama Castle to farm and live, and only after the war came that they would be gathered in the city to serve as people's husbands.

At the same time, the Goguryeo Kingdom was small and outnumbered, and it was impossible to have the manpower and financial resources to station a large number of troops on the border for a long time, and the number of soldiers stationed in the city usually did not exceed 1,000.

This time, the Tang Dynasty's expedition to Goguryeo was launched very suddenly, and without warning, the army had already entered the hinterland of Goguryeo, and the Goguryeo scouts on the border had no time to pass the information back.

Besides, the fog of negative energy on the Goguryeo Peninsula does not know when it erupted.

In the face of such a disaster, the Goguryeo cities were simply too busy to take care of themselves, and they could not organize an effective mobilization of troops at all, so naturally there was no situation where every city on the border was full of Goguryeo soldiers.

But as Qin Qiong said, if according to the normal state, as the Taoist envoy of the lord of a city, should gather the people in the event of such a natural disaster, how could tens of thousands of people be gathered within the jurisdiction of Hengshan City, and work together to defend the city and resist the disaster together.

But it obviously doesn't look like tens of thousands of people have been stationed in the city...... In such a cold weather, when it is impossible to go out of the city to collect firewood and grass, I am afraid that what can be burned will be burned long ago.

Nowadays, although the buildings in the city are old and dilapidated, most of them remain intact, and they are just empty houses, not like a large number of people have been stationed for a long time.

In order to survive, people destroy the environment more than locusts, which can be seen by comparing this with Xuansu City.

In order to survive in the extreme cold and low temperature caused by the negative energy fog, most of the buildings in the city were demolished to make fires for heating, leaving only larger houses for the people to hide.

This shows that the officials of Yokoyama Castle never accepted the people who came to take refuge from the beginning.

At the same time, the people in the city died in large numbers, and the survivors were gathered and detained in the official offices.

Its purpose is self-evident, it is to be used as a human shield to prevent those cannibalistic ghosts.

In other words, these people are the "food" prepared by the Taoist envoys and other officials for their own lives for the man-eating ghosts.

As long as the ghosts are full, they will naturally not eat them in office, right?

Glancing at the indignant Qin Qiong, Bai Yuqi smiled, is this really the case?

But he didn't say anything, but just ordered his disciples to prepare to camp in Hengshan City.

They didn't even build solid walls and buildings with a wave of their hands like Xuansu City, but let the disciples find complete houses and settle down in the city on their own.

Although it is a little strange, why didn't Xingjun build a fortress once and for all like before.

But Qin Qiong and the disciples didn't think much about it, just thinking that Xingjun had his own considerations, or planned to leave these chores to the engineering team behind to be responsible.

The Xingjun always personally built a camp for these disciples to become, so what kind of system did the Xingjun command.

Strictly speaking, this is the norm when they go on expeditions, and it is good to have a place to shelter from the wind and rain, but there is such a luxury as building a house when they go there.

Even if Bai Yuqi didn't intervene, the disciples of the [Wuji Gate] quickly set up a marching tent in the open space in the city, using the equipment they carried with them, and knocked down several crumbling houses to obtain wood and light a bonfire.

This has to say that the disciples of [Wujimen] are equipped with complete equipment and enjoy great benefits.

But all the products produced by [Tiangongmen], they use the best.

Anyway, the tactical backpack has a lot of space and is not heavy to carry, of course, you can bring everything you can.

In addition to the thick leather marching tents, they were able to assemble folding beds from the metal brackets they carried.

If the water source is convenient and the conditions permit, they can even use a folding pot to boil some hot water and pour it into a simple bath tub propped up by leather windproof cloth, which is definitely no less comfortable than at home.

Not to mention eating and drinking, have you ever seen self-heating dry food, tin cans and large pieces of beef in sauce sealed with skin paper?

poured it into the marching lunch box and hung it on the bonfire to heat it, and the people of Hengshan City who were watching it next to him cried!
