A small soldier, only eighteen years old, has many children in the family, his parents sent him to the construction corps, and his daily work is to build roads and bridges, this soldier went over and said: "Don't be afraid, we are from the Jeju army, free porridge, and pickles, you all come and drink." ”

An older child said, "Isn't there any poison in porridge?" ”

The little soldier was angry and said, "Our Jeju army is the most benevolent army in the world, why are you poisoned?" It's enough to kill you with a knife, not to mention wasting such rice porridge, wasting food is a curse. ”

The teenagers licked their chapped lips, and the fragrant rice porridge exuded deadly temptation.

"Come and drink, a big bowl for each person." The soldier went over and took the hand and pulled the child over.

The other children came timidly together, and each of them had a bowl of porridge and good pickles on their plates. The children drank so quickly that they even choked. After drinking a bowl of porridge, some children still want it, Huotoujun said: "If you are hungry, you can eat too fiercely and it is easy to have problems, there are three meals a day, go play, and come over to drink at noon." ”

Dozens of children left happily, and the children were the best advertisement, and soon the old and weak women and children were starving and frozen, most of these people had their homes destroyed and their food was robbed. Seven or eight hundred people gathered in one morning, and it was still a soup kitchen. There will be at least 15,000 or 60,000 refugees at 20 soup kitchens, and this is still the first day.

Back in the barracks, Wu Song leaned on a chair and sighed: "Relief for the victims is more tiring than fighting, and now I finally understand why the governor always says that fighting is easier and the aftermath is difficult." If the problem of relief for the victims of the disaster is not properly handled, the victims who have no food will still become thieves, and the thieves will become more and more powerful, and it will be difficult to exterminate them. ”

"Internal affairs are not what the Wu Song brothers are good at, tomorrow the civil officials of the headquarters will arrive, and the work of relieving the victims is a technical job, and it is not easy to do." Zhu Wu said.

On the second day, Wu Song led his troops out on patrol to strictly guard against the Tianhu army in Taiyuan Prefecture. From afar, I saw a long logistics team, a big historical character, Wu Song rode over, and saw that the first general was riding a horse, holding a three-pointed and two-edged Mo knife, who else was there besides Shi Jin.

"Brother Shi Jin, I haven't seen you for a while." Wu Song came over and said.

Shi Jin said happily: "It turned out to be Brother Erlang, haha, I didn't see you when I sent supplies some time ago, and I didn't dare to stay in military affairs, but I finally saw it today, how about having time to drink." ”

Wu Song shook his head: "In the past, Wu Song was ignorant, and always thought that drinking in a big bowl was a real hero, after going through so many things, Wu Song understood that only for the people of the world like the governor is a real hero." I'm definitely not going to be able to drink it today, so let's have some in the evening? ”

This time it was Shi Jin's turn to shake his head, Shi Jin said: "My brother is here, my task is to send relief food and materials, and by the way, use a cart to take thousands of homeless women and children to the Yangquan resettlement site. ”

The two of them regretted for a while, marching and fighting is no better than anything else, like a machine, it must take into account the overall situation. Say goodbye to each other and go about your own business.

Shi Jin's batch of materials is 500 carts of Tianwang rice grains, processed with stone grinding, not military food, but relief for the victims.

handed over the supplies with Zhu Wu, and drew and signed to receive military supplies. Then they took the refugee children and women back to the resettlement site, and this was enough for the children and adults. It is gratifying that more than 2,000 women and children have finally lived up to their hard work and been put into the carriage. Because it was a matter of time before the Jeju army attacked Taiyuan, once the battle began, this area would become a battlefield, so it had to be like this.

Speaking of Yang Zhi, Luan Tingyu's two cavalry fought fiercely several times in the past few days, and knocked down the cavalry patrolling around Tian Hu's army. Now they are afraid as long as they see the cavalry of the Jeju army, these two battalions are too fierce, skilled in bows and horses, and they are fighting with their lives.

It was a sunny day and a little hot. In the East Acropolis in the east of Taiyuan City, Wu Song's 6,000 troops gathered outside the south gate, and the soldiers with loud voices held iron horns to persuade them to surrender and shout.

"Listen, people of the city, there is no way out for you. Our army's 10,000 cavalry is around, and it is impossible to run back to Taiyuan. You have been abandoned by Tian Hu, so putting down your weapons and surrendering now is the only way out. ”

The East Acropolis is only a military stronghold, and the population of the city is not as large as that of a town, and the four walls are only six miles away. And there are really few soldiers in the city, less than 3,000 people. Among them, there were 2,500 infantrymen, and 500 cavalry were rangers who were played cards by Yang Zhiluan Tingyu and hid in the city.

The main general is called Miao Cheng, and his mind is a little shaken. If it was an ordinary army, he would definitely not be afraid, but Wu Song's army had fifty red-clothed cannons in front of it. After the Battle of Yangquan, Tian Hujun was scared when he saw this thing, but he didn't dare to surrender at the beginning, the army was good for him, but after all, there were many Tian Hu's henchmen in it.

Seeing that he did not surrender, Wu Song ordered: "Prepare the artillery, first open the city gate, and then exchange scattered ammunition to cover the city wall." ”

The herald conveyed the order, and the bullhide war drum, which was more than one person high, sounded.

"Boom, boom." The redcoat cannon went off.

The soldiers in the city gate panicked, and went to block the city gate hole with stones and wood, but before they could pass it, there were several more cannons, and the soldiers who dared to approach the city gate were bombarded into sieve eyes.

Miao Cheng said: "Tree shield, hide, artillery will shoot at the city wall immediately." ”

Originally, the combat effectiveness was not strong, and at this shout, the soldiers ran down, none of them had diamond iron bones, and dared to resist the artillery on the city wall.

"General Miao, let's surrender, there is no point in fighting any more than dying." A lieutenant general proposed to Miao Cheng.

Miao Cheng was overjoyed and said: "If it weren't for me, Miao Cheng was greedy for life and afraid of death, so I had to do this in order to save the lives of my brothers." Tree white flags, let them stop fighting. ”

The artillerymen were just about to prepare to light the fire, and when they saw that the white flag was erected in the city, Wu Song said: "The attack is suspended, and the shouting is to let their master come out." ”

Miao Cheng came out with a bitter face, and surrender is not a glorious thing.

"Miao Cheng, lead the whole army to surrender, and ask General Wu not to fight anymore to save the lives of his brothers and people." Miao Cheng said.

Wu Song said: "You can rest assured about this, as long as you put down your weapons, you will definitely not fight, but there is only one way to die if you stubbornly resist and fall to the ground." ”

Hundreds of cavalry rushed out of the city gates, brandishing sabers.

"Fire." With Wu Song's order, the scattered red-coated cannon fired, and tens of thousands of iron sand sprayed over.

The cavalry fell to the ground like the wind blowing, and only the hundred and ten cavalry continued to charge.

Wu Song was also very moved, and said: "The artillery retreated, and the Mo sword soldiers stepped forward." ”
