First thousands of people were evacuated, and then thousands of soldiers from Liu Chengdong's department.

Li Xiang was nervous throughout the whole process, for fear that Fang Tianding would insist on starting a big war. If that happens, he can only go into battle in person to boost his morale, who let his subordinates already exceed the limit.

Fang Tianding did not intercept it on a large scale, but asked most of the army to be on guard and let Liu Chengdong withdraw from the north gate.

In order to prevent Liu Chengdong from destroying the county seat, Fang Tianding kept an eye on Liu Chengdong's every move and sent 3,000 soldiers to follow Liu Chengdong's retreat. Liu Chengdong withdrew a section of the city wall, and Fang Tianding's subordinates occupied a section of the city wall.

After all the soldiers and civilians in Deqing County were evacuated, the 7,000 Great Zhou troops who were sticking to the eastern ridgeline to the south rushed directly from the mountain forest gap to Yangduntou.

When it was close to dark, Zhao Zhiqiang in the Anji Valley also collected his troops and returned to the city, putting an end to the entire evacuation operation.

As soon as Han Shizhong heard Fang Lajun's vicious tricks, he knew that Deqing County had become a dead place, and it was meaningless to fight any longer, so he insisted that Liu Chengdong's troops evacuate directly.

Li Xiang finally saw Liu Chengdong, who looked haggard. When the two met, Liu Chengdong was wearing a mask and holding a crossbow, the same as Li Xiang's outfit.

Li Xiang, who also looked haggard, didn't have time to say hello, and hurriedly persuaded Liu Chengdong to give an order to let all the people and soldiers retreat overnight.

After learning that there were only a few hundred people under the cheap son-in-law, and most of the soldiers couldn't even stand up, Liu Chengdong was shocked and moved, and broke out in a cold sweat: he felt that his son-in-law was so arrogant in the mountains and forests in the past two days, but there were only so many people in his hands!

The large army retreated north towards Tiger Pond overnight, and only there could be sufficient drinking water. The food eaten by the soldiers and the people of Deqing was transported by Han Zhao.

Liu Chengdong knew the seriousness of the matter, and transferred thousands of men and horses who still had combat power, and together with Li Xiang's subordinates, strengthened the defense of Meihuawu and Shangyao, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"Haah~~~ Happy, another bowl!"

Liu Yuan drank several bowls of wild vegetable soup in a simple wooden house. After staying in Deqing County for many days, he could count the number of times he ate vegetables in one slap, no wonder he was happy to see the vegetables.

"With the people, more than 6,000 people were evacuated overnight, are you sure that they will reach Tiger Pond safely? How to solve the problem of food and medicine? ”

Xiong Dachun drank two bowls of vegetable soup, but at the moment he held the third bowl but did not drink it directly, but asked Fang Weiliang first.

Liu Chengdong put down the bowl unsatisfied, smacked his lips, and wanted to hear what Fang Weiliang had to say.

"Han Zhao sent people to send people to the mountain urgently, and some of them arrived at the north end of Tiger Lake in the morning. The owner of the farm sent people early in the morning to transport a batch of grain to the south as much as possible, enough for 8,000 people to eat two meals, which should not be a problem. ”

Fang Weiliang replied confidently, and then frowned:

"But the medicines allocated by Han Zhao are limited, even if I Mingyuezhuang takes a large sum, it will not be enough for too many people. But as long as the soldiers and civilians are by the Tiger Pond and act in accordance with the epidemic prevention regulations set by the owner and the next few people, most people should be able to get rid of the epidemic. ”

Do you want the arrogant soldiers who have made great achievements, broken through the siege, and obediently accepted quarantine inspections, and also observed strict hygiene habits?

Liu Chengdong knew that most of the soldiers didn't have that self-consciousness, and there would definitely be conflicts when they only let their son-in-law's people go out, so he looked at Liu Yuan.

Liu Yuan, who is in charge of the military stick, is undoubtedly the most suitable for the soldiers.

Liu Yuan knew what Liu Chengdong meant, and hugged his fists and said, "Understood, I'll rush over later." ”

Liu Sheng finally met with his eldest brother Liu Yuan and decided to go over together, anyway, there is no shortage of defensive manpower at the moment.

"Oh, I just remembered." Seeing Li Xiang, who had finished arranging the defense, returning, Liu Chengdong patted his forehead, pointed to Liao Shikai, who was stroking his beard and smiling, and said, "Li Xiang, there are a few of you, this is Mr. Liao, who has helped me a lot in Deqing County." ”

Liao Shikai hurriedly got up and said politely: "The commander is polite, and in the next down-and-out scholar, I am thanks to the commander to make the adult rescue...... It's just a matter of dealing with some paperwork, you can't pick your shoulders and you can't resist, what can you do to help? ”

"This is the virtuous son-in-law of the Commander? Sure enough, he was a young hero, leading people thousands of miles to save his father, and Li commanded it amazingly. ”

Li Xiang was secretly surprised, and felt that Liao Shikai must be in trouble, otherwise the people of Da Zhou would not have put their posture so low, so low that they practiced themselves.

After Li Xiang decided to let Fang Weiliang be free, he tested Liao Shikai.

The three battalion commanders who commanded the crossbows, the vehicle-mounted bed crossbows, and the firearms came with Li Xiang. These three received a lot of benefits from Li Xiang, and they knew Liu Chengdong's weight in the Jiangnan war, of course, they didn't dare to hold it up, so they took the initiative to come to visit.

Judging from his official rank and position alone, Liu Chengdong is also a big step ahead.

Liu Chengdong smiled heartily, stepped forward, hugged his fists and thanked the three battalion commanders, and then of course there was a lot of politeness.

Li Xiang had a toothache and motioned for Fang Weiliang to come out with him.

The torches were lit in the eyes, and the children of Zhuangnei in Liu Chengdong's army found their acquaintances in the village to have a lively time. The soldiers who were not from Mingyuezhuang also got together with a group or a team of brothers to celebrate their escape.

"That's what it's like to escape. It's just a little good thing that just arrived, and it went down all at once, and I couldn't even hear a sound. ”

Li Xiang sighed with emotion, once again shocked by the cost of raising troops to fight.

Fang Weiliang gained a lot from this trip to the south, he took out his account book and looked at it twice, "On weekdays, raising troops, leading troops to fight, and fighting in the mountains and forests are very different in the consumption of materials in these three situations. ”

"I once heard that transporting grain for thousands of miles, it is good to be able to reach the front line with one stone out of ten stones."

"As for the little thing that is consumed at the moment, as long as it can boost the morale of the soldiers who have escaped again, I feel that it is worth it."

Fang Weiliang's ability to persuade Li Xiang has grown again, no longer emphasizing that materials are not wasted, but adding contrasting techniques: Think the cost is too much? The real cost is much more than it is now!

The little distressed feeling in Li Xiang's heart vanished.

The owner once again reminded himself that he was a rich man, and he must not be stingy in key places, otherwise he would hurt people's hearts and lose even more.

The owner of the village cleaned up his mood and began to discuss with Fang Weiliang how to send the part of Liu Chengdong's military rations to the defense line at his feet.

In order to complete the preliminary epidemic prevention around Laohutan and eliminate the impact of the epidemic in Deqing County, Li Xiang must block Fang Tianding's possible pursuit in Meihuawu and Shangyao. The military rations must not be lacking at all, and he cannot be let Li Xiang out.

In the big cow's small tent, the three men were holding a big bowl and eating non-stop.

"It's better to be outside. In Deqing County, I always feel that the food is not clean and tasteful. ”

The three men took the wild vegetable soup handed by the big cow, drank it dry in three or two sips, and said.

Da Niu thought about it and quickly understood what the three men were referring to. Think about it, the enemy troops outside the city keep throwing corpses into the city, and the defenders in the city feel fragrant when they eat.

"Eat slowly, there is still half a pot of rice wine here, drink a little and rest later."

Da Niu Han smiled and put the rice wine he had taken from the owner of the farm on the ground.

The three men swallowed their saliva, and stabbed the big cow with the thicker end of the chopsticks, "It's still the eldest brother's righteousness, all the wine in the county town was taken by Xiao Langzhong of the medical and health department to save people, forget about those." ”

"Okay, uncle, silently, I actually went to the owner of the village to do things."

Da Niu scratched his head and unconsciously began to pick his feet, "The owner thinks I'm honest, right?" How can you have the scenery, now you are the commander of the Great Zhou Battalion, and there are 500 people under him, my sister is happy to hear it. ”

The three men didn't care about the big cow's feet at all, and pulled the vegetables and rice in the bowl clean in three or two times, and sighed: "I originally thought it was good, but after being surrounded for so long, I still think the people in the village are reliable." Working hard in the van army, I really don't know if it's better or worse. ”

"By the way, how are you at home?"

Hearing the third gentleman's question, Da Niu slapped the ground and took out a few letters under his mattress, "Look at my memory, you are a father." ”

Although the three men didn't know much about words, they knew pinyin, and quickly read the things on the letter, and put a small handful of fetal hair in front of them to look at it carefully.

"Woo woo~~~" The three men cried.

After staying in the army for more than six months, he suddenly heard that he had become a father, and the emotions of the three men collapsed directly.
