Chapter 216: The King Believes in You (21st Update)
After resting in place for another day, the young army set off again, this time the target was nothing else, it was the Yueshang City that had been abandoned before, because Yueshang City was defeated and abandoned, such a big thing has definitely spread throughout the entire Linyi in such a long time, maybe someone will reoccupy this place at this time, Li Zhen is ready to kill a horse pistol and harvest another wave of heads.
However, to everyone's surprise, although so much time has passed, not to mention the soldiers and the government in Yueshang City, there are not even a few ordinary people, all the people who remain here are old, weak, sick and disabled, and all the young and strong are gone.
I found a few old men who were about to die and asked about the situation, it turned out that the battle between the Shenji Battalion and Yueshang City was seen by many people, but in half a day, all the natives of Yueshang knew that there was a Tang army with a fire-breathing stick coming, and the city guards who used to call themselves elite had almost no resistance in the face of this army, but they were defeated in less than half an hour.
Originally, it was nothing, but the problem was that at this time, the news of Belvedere reached here......
The people of Yueshang City were panicked, and suddenly heard the news that Rili City was slaughtered by the Tang Army, and the scene can be imagined. It wasn't until someone found out that the Tang army had left here that the people of Yueshang City were reluctantly relieved, but the panic in their hearts couldn't be suppressed. Because everyone knows that the reason why the Tang army left was because some of them were sick (many people knew about the Shenji Battalion looting medicinal herbs in the city), and once they were cured, then they would definitely make a comeback.
This situation reached its peak until one family could not bear the pressure and fled from Yueshang City overnight......
It wasn't until this time that Yue Shang thought that he still had a way to live...... All of a sudden, everyone began to flee with their families, those who had relatives went to seek refuge with relatives, and those who did not have relatives also hid in the deep mountains and old forests - no matter how bitter the environment in the deep mountains and old forests was, but it was better than living in the city and waiting for death, right?
So the scene in front of Li Zhen's eyes was formed - a full ten days of escape, except for some lonely old people and natives who are really unable to leave their homeland, there is no one alive in the entire Yueshang City.
"That's a ...... What a surprise. Li Zhen couldn't cry or laugh, the massacre in Ri Licheng was because the pressure of the Young Army was too great, and they had to go through a release to recover, and now the Young Army had no pressure, and Li Zhen was not a murderer, how could he kill innocents indiscriminately - after all, this represents a lot of silver.
"Anyway, since there is no one left in this Yueshang, let's leave it like this, just for the people of Datang to use as a foothold in the future."
"However, from today onwards, this city should be surnamed Tang, and it will live forever."
"Your Highness, please command." Baili Changsheng stood up and shouted.
"You are now the commander of Zhichong Prefecture in Yueshang Prefecture, then the defense here will be handed over to you, this Yueshang will only allow Han people to enter from now on, and the natives of Nanyang are not allowed to enter, but anyone who forcibly breaks into the city will be killed."
"Yes, from today onwards, only Han people are allowed to enter, and Nanyang natives are not allowed to enter a single step, otherwise there will be no forgiveness." Baili Changsheng repeated Li Zhen's order loudly, with a serious expression.
However, this seriousness was quickly replaced by a bitter face: "It's just Your Highness, although my subordinates are the commanders of Zhichong, but I have no soldiers and no food in my hands, how can I defend the city?" Even if there is a city gate and one person, I don't know how to do it, or Your Highness, can you support a little? Otherwise, I really can't defend such a big city by myself. ”
Baili Changsheng's words were said to Li Zhen, but his eyes were already on the young army, and it seemed that he was planning to choose once Li Zhen opened his mouth to agree.
"Don't be so discouraged." Li Zhen patted him on the shoulder vigorously and said, "The solution is something that people come up with, as long as you think about it slowly, there will always be a way, this king believes in you." ”
"Poof~"
Suddenly, everyone sprayed, His Highness was really naughty.
When Baili Changsheng heard the first sentence, his heart was about to come out of joy, and he was about to open his mouth to thank him, who knew that the form would take such a sharp turn, Li Zhen not only did not give him soldiers but also teased him, and Baili Changsheng's whole person was suddenly not good.
What the hell does God have a way?
Why do you believe in me?
I don't even believe in myself, right?
"Your Highness~" Baili Changsheng's voice was so resentful that Li Zhen couldn't help but get goosebumps, and hurriedly fled as if she was away from him: "You stay away from me, I don't do it." ”
"But I ......," Baili Changsheng wanted to say something.
But how could Li Zhen give him a chance to speak: "Anyway, if you are promoted to the lieutenant of a state, it can be regarded as a promotion, and this king is here to congratulate you." As for this king's previous order, it's just a joke made by this king, you can treat it as a piece of waste paper, the natives of Yueshang can come back, and Yueshang Prefecture can also be temporarily occupied by them, only in this way can you catch more slaves, right?
Anyway, once the Tang army crosses the sea, everything here will still be ours. As for you, let's hide for the time being, save your life first, and when our army arrives, we will naturally equip you with a sufficient number of soldiers.
As for the people of the Young Army, you don't want to fight their ideas, every value of the Young Army is ten times that of ordinary soldiers, and I am ashamed to let them bully the natives of Nanyang, you still want them to help you defend the city, this king can only say that you think too much. ”
"Uh...... That's all it takes, Chen understands. Baili Changsheng naturally understood what Li Zhen meant, and nodded hurriedly. His so-called captain of Zhichong Mansion in Yueshang Prefecture is actually a pseudonym, and the purpose is to engage in intelligence, Li Zhen means that he will not expose himself for the time being, and hide it to collect intelligence well, so as to provide prerequisites for Datang to occupy this place in the future.
"Well, then let's stop for the time being, and wait for the next time we meet again, this king invites you to drink the best spirits." Li Zhen has no plans to spend the night in Yueshang, he has been out for a long time, but now he has only occupied two cities, which is really inferior.
He planned to open up Linyi vertically as soon as possible, and rush to Singha Buluo to join the rest of the young army as quickly as possible, and then Li Zhen would turn to Zhenla, take the road from Zhenla, and attack Baitou from south to north - this is in addition to Linyi, another country in Li Zhen's heart that must be destroyed with his own hands, with the sins they committed against the Tang Dynasty, the end will not be much better than Linyi.
It's the twenty-first shift, and I'm already desperate.
