Chapter 330: No Clue

The enemy army has withdrawn!

The soldiers cheered in the city, and they could finally get a good night's sleep.

But this is just their extravagant hope, it is impossible to sleep, a huge city, and in the territory of Li Yue, how can it not send people on duty, besides, the enemy in front of them is withdrawn, Yulin and Da Nanguan will not leave no one, a careless, if they are sneak attacked, it will be difficult to retreat with their whole body.

The guards began to patrol the city back and forth, without the slightest intention of going down to the city to rest.

Everyone had to brace themselves and stare until dawn.

Early in the morning, the four guards dragged their tired bodies to the mansion.

At the ferry in the west of the city, the enemy army retreated, and the Xuanwei army also arrived at the time of evacuating Liangshan.

"Well, what are you going to do?" Time is pressing, Yang Congyi gets straight to the point.

Yao Chang said: "Prison Army, should we send someone to the direction of Da Nanguan first?" Evacuated in a hurry, and it was not easy to explain to the soldiers. ”

"Yes, let's take a look first, the morale of the soldiers is high, and at this time, I suddenly told them to withdraw, I'm afraid they won't be able to accept it." Yuan Hua responded with his words.

Yang Congyi looked at it in a blink of an eye, and saw that the other people's expressions seemed to mean the same thing, and he was immediately a little embarrassed, the plague was terrible, they didn't know it, but for the sake of this feat, they had to take risks, which was really not a wise move.

Even if there are not many defenders of Dananguan, but the Xuanwei army is only more than 3,000 people, to prevent the enemy from attacking from the west pass of the city, it is impossible to divide the troops to the north, the merits of Dananguan and Yulin City can not be obtained now, even if Liangshan is abandoned, the whole army may not be able to take Dananguan.

Yesterday, Yang Congyi had already explained the reason, they were still unwilling to leave, nothing more than to capture the Great South Pass from the south to the north in one fell swoop, and then force Yulin City, and the Great Song army from Yongzhou to fight in the north and south, and take the last enemy army, but this is simply an impossible fantasy to realize.

These victories in Liangshan made them begin to overestimate themselves and underestimate the enemy army, the Xuanwei army was not as powerful as they thought, and the enemy army was not as weak as they thought.

At the beginning, when they went south to Liangshan City, Da Nan Pass and Chengxi Pass, the enemy was defenseless, and the defenders not only did not have many troops, but also most of them were old, weak, sick and disabled, and the elite went to the front line to attack Yongzhou. Now the enemy army retreats on all fronts, in order to keep the entrance to the Great Song Dynasty, it will definitely stop the elite in Da Nanguan and Yulin City, one attack and one defense, the situation has changed greatly, the Xuanwei army can defend the city, not necessarily able to attack the city, and it is still only 3,000 people to attack the Jiancheng garrisoned by tens of thousands of elites, which is completely an egg to hit the stone, which is very unwise.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I can understand your feelings, if you want victory and merit, you must first have your life. No matter how many defenders there are in Da Nan Pass and Yu Lin, we can only quickly withdraw Tongmian from the east of the city within three days, and there is not much time left for Liangshan City. What did you smell when you were in the city all day, and what did you smell when you were sitting in the palace? Is there any difference? No, it's not the same. The corpses outside the city have begun to decompose, mosquitoes and germs have begun to breed, and the soup in the city is limited, and it will not be long before the disease will spread, and there will not be a living person in Liangshan City at that time. "They can't figure it out, and the Xuanwei army can't evacuate safely, and Yang Congyi has to talk bitterly.

Everyone thinks the same, they are really unwilling to leave them like this, the enemy army has retreated, they still have a chance to fight, as for the germs, those corpses are dozens of zhang away from the city, there are more than two zhang high city walls, as long as they are not close, how can they be infected with diseases. They have seen a lot of dead people, and they have fought a lot of battles, and almost all wars are fought around the city, and I have not heard of anyone who won the battle, because they killed too many enemies, and the corpses could not be cleaned up, and they were afraid of getting sick and gave up the city. The prison army has read too many books and is alarmist.

Yang Congyi saw that they didn't speak, so he continued to persuade: "Which of you has been to Huaibei?" Before we made peace with Jin, there had been a war for many years, and the two countries had not fought for ten years, but the fields were still barren there, and the good fields in the early years grew big trees, and the towns were dilapidated and deserted, and there were often no people for ten miles, and white bones could be seen everywhere in the barren grass. Why is there no one in Huaibei? No one has cultivated large tracts of fertile land? After a battle, there are dead people everywhere, after the Jin people plundered, they returned to the north, never cleaned the battlefield, and so on a few months later, the Great Song Dynasty army regained the lost territory, the people who died in the war could not be cleaned up, they could only evacuate far away, let it rot, often a big war occurred in a place, if the battlefield was not cleaned, the germs were rampant, and people and animals did not dare to approach for decades. Look at the corpse wall outside Liangshan City, and smell the smell of breathing anytime and anywhere, can this place be inhabited? It is necessary to evacuate as soon as possible, and if it is late, there will be an extra day of risk. ”

Everyone was silent for a long time before they heard Liu Shi say: "Prison army, we are not afraid of death, or we are unwilling, you let us go to Da Nan Pass to see, if the guards of Da Nan Pass exceed 2,000 people, we will immediately withdraw to Tongmian, never a word." ”

"Yes, let's try it, if we can't take the Great South Pass, it's not too late for us to go." All should be reconciled.

Having said so much, it was still in vain, Yang Congyi was a little helpless, although he could force them to withdraw their troops, but it was not necessary.

"Well, I'll give you two days, and after two days, the whole army will retreat. Da Nan Pass, you go to see for yourself, what is the situation in the west pass of the city, you had better send someone to take a look. Yao Chang and Zhang Dai's two battalions of Xuanwei Army and the personal guard battalion stayed in Liangshan City, and the others moved with you, if the damage to the troops exceeded thirty percent, the military law would be engaged! In the end, Yang Congyi chose to give in.

"Yes!" The congregation will take the order.

Yao Chang and Zhang Dai took over the defense of Liangshan City, and Su Zhong, Yuan Hua and Liu Shi quickly formed their team and went out of the city to investigate the enemy.

The corpses outside the city began to decompose, and the withdrawal of the Xuanwei army from Liangshan was already a foregone conclusion, as for how to evacuate, whether to bring the people of Liangshan with them, it still needs to be considered, after all, there are too many problems to bring twenty or thirty thousand people out of Liangshan City.

How to manage after so many people are out of town? There are a lot of women, children and old people, how do they climb over the mountains? Who is responsible for eating, drinking, and sleeping all the way? When you arrive in Qinzhou, where do you settle down?

If you take all the ordinary people away, there are too many problems, and he can't solve them alone, if you don't take them away, let them stay in Liangshan City, only the plague awaits them. In the end, they are all ordinary people, this war has nothing to do with them, and there is no concept of a country in their hearts, as long as they can live, no matter who manages them, they can accept it, and as long as they can live, they should be the same wherever they go.

The Xuanwei army went out of the city to investigate the enemy's situation and prepare to capture the Great South Pass, Yang Congyi counted the granaries and armories in the city, and organized the young and strong to count the population from house to house.

There is still a lot of grain in the granary, and the Xuanwei army can't take it away when retreating, if it is all distributed to the people, Yang Congyi believes that they must have a way to get all the grain away.

There are also countless ordnance, and the Xuanwei army can't take it away, so they can only burn it with one fire when they retreat.

I don't know how much wealth the people in the city have accumulated, if they can't take it away, they will burn it in the end, they can retreat, but if Liangshan is an empty city, otherwise the battle behind it will be really difficult to fight.

The news of the enemy's retreat spread throughout the city, the people lived as before, and there were still a few people who went out of the city to the streets, and everyone did not realize that the Xuanwei army was about to retreat, but all the actions indicated that the Xuanwei army seemed to be fighting again, and everyone who assisted in defending the city Liangshan Qingzhuang even received the promised fifteen catties of rations in advance.

Going out of the city to investigate the enemy's situation, counting the granaries and armory, counting the number of households and population, all actions are giving people a hint that Liangshan City is preparing for war!

In the government office, Yang Congyi was counting the belongings with the soldiers of the guard battalion, which were all collected from the homes of Liangshan officials, and the amount was not small, and there was also a lot of wealth hidden in the private houses of the government treasury.

All the property was registered one by one, and then packed, locked, and sealed, which were all captured by the Xuanwei army, and when the war was over, part of it was rewarded to soldiers, and part of it was used as military funds.

By the evening, everything that should be counted had been counted clearly, and the account books were handed over to Yang Congyi.

There are more than 12,370 quintals of grain in the granary, countless ordnance, no statistics have been made, there are more than 3,360 households in Liangshan, and the population is more than 24,790, of which the elderly, weak, women and children account for most of them.

There is a difference between the household registration of the household registration of the government and the government household register, and the difference in population is more than 3,000 people.

Yang Congyi took the account book, took a pen and wrote and drew on the paper, if these people were to take all the food away, how to divide the team, how to group them, and whether the Xuanwei Army wanted to participate in it, he needed to carefully consider it.

As long as Li Yue left more than 15,000 elite soldiers in Dananguan and Yulin, not to mention that the Xuanwei army had no way to take them, even if the Great Song army defending Yongzhou came, I am afraid it would be difficult to take these two places.

It was a matter of time before the Xuanwei army withdrew from Liangshan, but Su Zhong, Yuan Hua and others could not accept that they would retreat so suddenly, they wanted to fight once, fight, or need to find a reason to retreat.

Although it was difficult for Yang Congyi to accept the return of Tongmian, the retreat of the Youyi army from Yulin had already put the Xuanwei army in an isolated and helpless situation, and if Yulin was lost, Liangshan would definitely not be defended.

Yulin has been lost, the Xuanwei army must be withdrawn, Yang Congyi does not need to find a reason at all, save his life, these four words are enough for everyone.

While he was making all kinds of plans, the spies sent out in the morning brought back important news.

The bridge built by the Li Yue people in the west of the city when they retreated has been damaged, and the southern pass is garrisoned by Li Yue's army, which is roughly estimated to be no less than six or seven thousand people.

The most surprising thing is that the defenders of Danan Pass are not Li Yueren, but You Yijun, the former division of the Great Song Palace, and Yu Lin is also in their hands.

The war is over!

All the generals gathered in the mansion, with different looks, some surprises, some surprises, and some unwillingness.

How did this war end?

Yao Chang and the others couldn't figure it out, and Yang Congyi had no clue.
