In the face of this group of poor hungry people, Han Qi was also moved with compassion, but General Wang next to him advised him not to be impulsive, after all, after the war, the entire Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures were full of hungry people, even if they dispersed all the grain and grass they escorted, they couldn't help it, and the most important thing now was to ensure the food supply of the army.

Han Qi naturally knew that everything was now focused on the army, but in the end he still left a few bags of food for the hungry people, so that at least they could have a full meal and have the strength to go to Xijin Mansion, and now the imperial court is about to rebuild the Great Wall, although it is mainly to use prisoners of war, but there are still some people who are short of manpower relying on prisoners of war alone, and they will definitely organize the people at that time, and these hungry people are the best targets for recruitment, after all, they only want a full meal, and there are fewer hungry people, which can also greatly increase Yanyun's stability.

After leaving the food, Han Qi once again sped up and rushed to Datong Mansion, but what he didn't expect was that within two days of leaving, he encountered several waves of hungry people, but this time the king died and refused to release any more food, Han Qi also knew that he couldn't save so many people, so he had no choice but to tell the hungry people to let them go to the nearest state capital, and when they arrived at Datong Mansion, he would instruct the state capitals to organize the hungry people, and he should be able to save a lot of people by then.

A few days later, Han Qi and his party finally arrived at Datong Mansion, Liu Ping heard that Han Qi came in person, and immediately went out of the city to greet them, but when Han Qi entered the city, he found that Datong was not completely defeated, and there were still six or seven thousand Liao troops in the city who were defending the imperial city and refused to come out.

"General Liu, it is best for these Liao troops to be persuaded to surrender, there are still too few prisoners of war, and it is impossible to build the Great Wall without 100,000 people." When Han Qi learned that there were still so many Liao troops besieged in the city, he immediately said to Liu Ping with his eyes shining.

"Don't worry, I originally left these prisoners of war for you, otherwise a mere imperial city would not be able to stop the artillery bombardment!" Liu Ping also stroked his beard and smiled at this time.

"Then when will these Liao troops surrender, and it will always be a threat to let them stay in the imperial city?" Han Qi asked again at this time, he came to Datong to take over here, but there were so many Liao troops in the city, and he couldn't govern it normally at all.

"It's been just these two days, there is not much food in the imperial city, those Liao troops have been trapped for so many days, the food has long been eaten, and if they don't come out, they can only starve to death inside." Liu Ping immediately smiled again, in fact, in the past two days, he found that the Liao army in the imperial city had run out of strength, if he sent troops to attack at this time, maybe he could take the imperial city with just one charge, but since he wanted to recruit these people, he naturally didn't want to increase casualties in vain.

Han Qi was also very happy when he heard this, and wanted to go to see the besieged Liao army in person, but Liu Ping also prepared a banquet for him, and some things also needed to be explained to him, so Han Qi could only go to the banquet first, and chatted with Liu Ping and the generals in the army while eating, and by the way, he also had a better understanding of Datong.

After the banquet, it was already dusk, Han Qi proposed to go to the imperial city, and it happened that Liu Ping was also going there to inspect, so the two rode horses and chatted along the streets, Han Qi also took the opportunity to inspect Datong Mansion, and found that many places in the city were destroyed by the war, and the blood stains in some places had not been cleaned, so it can be seen that the city was tragic at the beginning.

At this time, it was almost curfew, and the pedestrians on the street were all in a hurry, and the shops on both sides of the street were also busy closing, but in a city that had just experienced war and had not completely ended, there were pedestrians on the streets, and the shops were also open, which showed that the entire city had begun to operate basically, which made Han Qi also praise Liu Ping, after all, ordinary military generals could not do it to this extent.

After passing through the main road of Datong Mansion, Han Qi and the two of them also quickly came to the location of the imperial city, only to see that this imperial city is civil, although the specifications are not as good as the imperial city of the Great Song Dynasty, but the area is also not small, the eaves of the palace in the city can be seen vaguely over the city wall, and the banner of the Liao army is still standing at the head of the city.

"Huh? Why didn't you see a Liao army in the city? Han Qi looked at the head of the city at this time, and then asked curiously, because although there were many flags at the head of the city, there were no human figures in sight, so it seemed that the entire city head was empty, but the Song army was stationed everywhere around the city wall.

"Hehe, the Liao army in the city has already eaten up the food, and the hungry can't even stand up these days, and now they can only lie under the female wall and gasp." Liu Ping explained with a smile at this time.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a commotion in the area where the Song army was stationed under the city, and then the aroma of the meal wafted over, it turned out that the Song army was going to have a meal here, and there was white steam in a large iron pot, and even Han Qi could distinguish the taste of potatoes from the aroma, now potatoes are the military food of the Great Song Dynasty, this thing can be used as a vegetable and as a staple food, the only problem is that it is not resistant to storage, and it must be consumed as soon as possible after a large number of harvests every year.

As the Song army began to cook, the aroma of the food also drifted straight to the city, and then I saw that the originally empty city head suddenly had a lot of heads, it was the Liao army who was lying on the city wall before, but these people are now all like starving ghosts, staring at the Song army who was feasting below.

"No wonder the general is so confident, the Liao army is tortured like this, I'm afraid it won't last long." Han Qi looked at the Liao army that was popping up more and more in the city, and immediately couldn't help laughing, he was born in a family of eunuchs, and he had never been hungry since he was a child, but he had seen too many hungry people along the way, so he naturally knew that hunger could torture people into ghosts, and even he had seen cannibalism happen with his own eyes.

"The besieged Liao army commander is named Yelu Akula, this person was born in the Khitan royal family, and he was loyal to the Liao State, so he swore not to surrender when he was besieged before, but although he was unwilling to surrender, it does not mean that his soldiers will be willing to accompany him to starve to death, so I want to see how long the Liao army can hold out." Liu Ping immediately laughed again.

It was also a coincidence, just as Liu Ping's words fell, he suddenly saw a rope ladder hanging down from the head of the Liao army, and then someone went down the ladder to the head of the city, which made Liu Ping and Han Qi both show surprised expressions.

"It can't be such a coincidence, I'm just coming to the Liao army and I'm ready to surrender?" After a while, Han Qi whispered with a surprised face.

At this time, Liu Ping took out a telescope and looked at the person who went down the city wall, only to see that after the other party got off the city, he actually took out a white flag from his arms, and then shook it and walked towards the Song army camp, which made him laugh and said: "It seems that Han Zhuan has made Fuxing shine, and you are about to surrender when you come to the Liao army!" ”
