Chapter 16 Hurtful and Miserable!
Although the current situation is not generally not optimistic, Liu Kan is not a guy waiting to be killed.
"Report!"
"Huh? In. When Liu Kan heard this, he knew that the news of the scout had returned.
I saw a soldier dressed as a rebel army walking into the tent, seeing that Liu Kan was observing the map, he secretly said that he was worthy of being an adult, and he was studying tactics early in the morning, so he knelt down on one knee and began to report the situation of the scouts.
"Lord Qiqi, according to the news from the scouts, Qiaocheng has now become an empty city, leaving only three or four hundred people, but most of them have some big and small physical problems, and it is difficult to take care of themselves.
At the same time, both the armory and the granary in the city have been emptied, and even carpenter's shops, blacksmith shops and other shops are also in disarray, so it can be said that the city's resources have been left behind.
The farmland was also burned clean by them, and the waterways were blocked with mud and rocks, and the city was completely abandoned.
What's even more hateful is that the county guard of the city can do it, the city lord is full of the corpses of some pregnant women, children and men who resisted the army of the city, and even the prisoners in the city prison are all slaughtered, it is really a slaughter of the city!
And those corpses are exposed to the sun, if they are not buried in time, there will be a plague spread soon, even if those living people in the city do not go to other cities, with the huge base of those corpses, the plague will spread sooner or later, Kuzhe is not far from the city, if the plague breaks out, the first person to suffer is Kuzhe, Lord Kuzhe!
If those rats and insects are more active, the plague will break out in advance! ”
Obviously, the person who reported the news was also extremely angry in his heart.
Liu Kan listened indifferently, after all, he had already guessed these situations, and it was useless to be anxious, more importantly, to face the current situation.
However, when he heard the report from behind the soldiers behind him, Liu Kan was also shocked.
After all, he is a modern person, not to mention that he has not experienced such a move as slaughtering the city, even the means of cutting off grain and burning fields, and filling ditches with sediment are also ruthless, and I want to cut off the lifeblood of Qiaocheng!
As for the slaughter of the city, although he had some guesses, he didn't want this group of guys to dare to do such a cruel and inhumane thing!
Kill is killed, but deliberately let the plague spread, this kind of hurtful thing, there are a few people in history who can do it!
If this thing can't be governed, even if the rebel army is damaged, the Qin Dynasty is not a big country with more than a billion people in the 21st century, and now the total number of people in the country is not even 100 million!
If the plague spreads, every person who dies will be difficult to recover in a short time!
Not to mention that the productive forces are inherently underdeveloped, every year there are a bunch of natural and man-made disasters, a flood and a drought is a famine for a while, and this time a plague spreads out, then it's a fart!
At the smallest level, there will be three or four county seats, and if it is large, if there is a new plague, the entire Qin Dynasty will perish!
He is not alarmist, judging from the current medical methods of the Qin Dynasty and the living standards of the people, as soon as the plague comes, it is estimated that he can only wait for death.
He could also hear the meaning of the soldier's words, and it was estimated that the soldier also knew a little about the plague, and his meaning was nothing more than to tell Liu Kan that he knew that if he took over Qiaocheng, he would only increase the burden, not only to clean up the farmland and water conservancy, repair the city, but also dispose of the corpses, take care of the old, weak, sick and disabled, and when the time came, I was afraid that the army would have to stop training and work as coolies in Qiaocheng.
At that time, if the county guards of Qiaocheng and Chen County killed a horse pistol, the rebel army would be in great trouble and would not be able to make a comeback.
But if you don't deal with the affairs of the city, you can't sit back and wait for the plague to spread.
Liu Kan is not ordinary at this time!
If he worries about the rebel army every day after crossing over in order to live better in this era, then after experiencing such a tragic and inhumane thing, the morality in Liu Kan's heart is really stimulated!
Before, he was curious about the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty, how chaotic it could be, but now he understands that this is the special reason why the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, because of this tyranny, the people below are not happy, and the guys above are also doing nonsense and disregarding people's lives!
He realized what it means to be chaotic!
That's chaos!
He knew why he was anti-Qin!
If they don't, they die!
At this moment, Liu Kan really regarded himself as a flat-headed common man in the history of the Qin Dynasty, and he really hated this bureaucrat who did all kinds of evil!
"Okay, I know, you can retreat first, I will definitely give a satisfactory answer to the people of Qiaocheng and the brothers in the army."
Liu Kan's tone was a little tired, but he was unusually firm.
"Thank you, sir!"
The soldier who knelt on one knee was a little excited, his voice trembled and thanked him, and he quietly withdrew.
But after Liu Kan drank a cup of tea, he went to the army to summon two people, and invited Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and Haoqiang from all over the country to discuss important matters.
"Hehe, I don't know if Lord Liu has something to invite me to come over to discuss?"
"That's right, Lord Liu has never been untargeted, I'm afraid it's important to invite us here this time!"
"Lord Liu, don't worry, if there is anything difficult, we, as a member of the rebel army, will definitely throw our heads and spill blood!"
“……”
Before the meeting began, the so-called heroes from all over the country began to compliment Liu Kanlai.
Liu Kan frowned but didn't say anything, anyway, these guys don't make trouble now, as for the future, sooner or later they will have to get rid of them.
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang looked very serious when they came, Chen Sheng was really serious, and Wu Guang was pretending, because even if something happened, he was helpless.
"Liu Kan, what happened?"
Chen Sheng could obviously feel the solemnity of Liu Kan's expression at this time, and also realized that today's things may not be simple.
Since yesterday's bitter war, Chen Sheng has really attached importance to this young man, he knows that there are many things now, and he no longer has much right to speak, but Liu Kan has more leadership temperament, just because of Liu Kan's wisdom and long-term vision.
Liu Kan pays attention to efficiency and benefits in everything, just as China has insisted on pragmatism since ancient times, flashy things are almost non-existent in ancient times, and this is also the case for Liu Kan, he needs to maximize losses and gains in war, and employing people is also to use good steel on the blade, and refuse to waste any talents and resources.
It was also because of this that Chen Sheng was able to quietly watch Liu Kan's various arrangements without interfering, because he believed that Liu Kan would not let the army suffer heavy losses.
Liu Kan saw that the people were almost here at this time, and after saying a few polite words step by step, his expression became serious, and he got up and said to everyone:
"Ladies and gentlemen, before I talk about this, please meet the two men I brought with me today."
