(Ask for collection)

After the Ruijin camp entered Juyeze, it took five days to clean up the place where the bandit families lived on the edge of the cottage and Shuibo, and some of the people who were hiding were also searched out and directly blasted out of the cottage. Nearly 30,000 men, women and children were driven out of the area, and for them, they did not know where to go.

Li Xian did not have the slightest sympathy when he ordered these things to be done, and neither the begging nor the crying of the people could move his hard-hearted heart. A few splashes took the opportunity to provoke the cavalry who tried to make the people attack the Ruijin camp, but the quick-eyed Flying Tiger spy rushed into the crowd and chopped off his head on the spot. The resolute approach shocked everyone, and even if they didn't want to, they had to leave the place where they had lived for two or three years.

Maybe they'll all be homeless wanderers, maybe they'll soon find another place to be thieves again, or maybe they'll return to their hometowns and start a new life. But all this has nothing to do with Li Xian, because these people must not stay, and for the terrain of Juyeze, these people are far more familiar than the people in Yanshanzhai. Leaving them behind can only be a disaster, and it is impossible to say when it will be like a time bomb to blow up the hard-won victory.

failed to kill Zhang Jincheng in one fell swoop, so Li Xian had to be extra careful.

During these five days, the soldiers of the Ruijin battalion collected all the fishing boats in the water and set them on fire. This is also to prevent Zhang Jin's men and horses from coming in through the waterway after returning, and just in case, more than 4,000 of the nearly 5,000 men and horses of the Ruijin battalion are stationed on the edge of the water pool, patrolling all night.

This is also the reason why Li Xian wanted to leave behind the craftsmen who built ships, and ships were a necessity in Junozawa, and without the huge water of the ship, it would be meaningless. The boat can be burned, but the craftsman must stay.

There are still a few years before the collapse of the mansion of Dasui, and Li Jiajun will live in Juyeze in the past few years. Whether it's a fishing boat or a warboat, it's a must. Temporary destruction is for temporary stability, and there is no way to do it.

In the end, there were about 300 craftsmen left, and these people were all strictly controlled by Li Xian's order. Before Zhang Jincheng is dealt with, the prevention of these more than 300 people cannot be taken lightly. Be mighty, but also be gracious. Among these more than 300 people, there are family members, and their parents, wives and children have also been left behind as an exception, but they cannot go out of Junozawa, otherwise they will not be forgiven. Most of these people were taken captive by Zhang Jincheng from all over the country, but in fact, they didn't have any radical reactions to who would be the big boss of Ju Yeze.

Li Xian's caution seemed a little excessive, but it was also a means that had to be implemented.

The homes of these people were basically razed to the ground by Zhang Jincheng's people and horses, and they followed Zhang Jincheng back to Juyeze in desperation, they just wanted to survive, but in fact, they did not have any support for Zhang Jincheng. They don't really care who is the owner of Junozawa, what they care about is whether they can survive or not.

In troubled times, the people at the bottom are the most miserable.

In the fifth day, Daxi Changru led more than 20,000 infantry of the Li family army to arrive, and so far, the army has all entered Juyeze. Reorganize the cottage, build a water village, and then send more people to patrol day and night. The first part of the story should not be taken lightly in any way.

Next, what Li Xian has to do is to think about the stability of Ju Yeze.

Zhang Jin said that when he occupied Junoze, in order to ensure the survival of tens of thousands of people in Junoze, he had to go out to raid and rob houses, and countless villages were razed to the ground by bandits. Although Li Jiajun's current grain and grass is not a problem in a short period of time, Li Xian can't be calculated. Go out and plunder the people? How long does that loot last?

Li Xian is waiting, waiting for an opportunity to make a fortune.

……

……

Walking along the edge of the water and looking at the huge lake that stretches as far as the eye can see, just like standing on the edge of the sea and looking into the distance, can make people's hearts open-minded. Although it is a pity that all the fishing boats have been burned to the ground, it is a pity not to be able to sail on the lake waves, but it is also very pleasant to just stand on the shore and watch the lake and mountains.

"It's a pity, if only there was a boat, you can go to the lake and have a look."

Ou Siqingqing stood beside Li Xian and said with some amazement.

Li Xian smiled and said: "There are boats, there are a few relatively large warships that I let people tow to the shore, and they were not burned, but we have only arrived in Juyeze, it is better to be safe, and there will be opportunities after boating on the lake." After I solve Zhang Jincheng, I will have no scruples. ”

"I know."

Ou Siqingqing smiled and said, "I just think it's a pity that those boats burned." ”

Li Xian took her hand and sighed, "Silly girl...... How can your mind hide from me? I know you don't feel sorry for those fishing boats, you feel sorry for the people I drove out of Junozawa, right? ”

Ou Siqingqing pursed his lips and nodded, but did not speak.

Li Xian pulled her to sit down in a small pavilion by the lake, looked at the rippling blue water, and was silent for a while and said, "The people are pitiful, I know. But if you don't drive them all out, once Zhang Jincheng comes back with his men and horses, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be in harmony with these people. Although these people were all stolen by Zhang Jincheng from the outside, forcing them to settle in Juyeze. I know they don't necessarily support Zhang Jin, but I don't want to risk even the slightest danger, after all, tens of thousands of lives are now on my shoulders. ”

Zhang Jin said that maybe it was not good for them, robbed them of grain and silver - humiliated their wives and daughters, but in the past few years, the robbed women have long been accustomed to the current life, and the bandits who forcibly occupied their bodies have now become their husbands. With children and homes, they accepted their fate. From hating those bandits for robbing homes and houses, to now standing at the door of their yard every day, waiting for their men to come back from the house and robbing houses, the process is not slow, and it is not difficult for them to accept. ”

"Now that we're here, it seems that they are good to them when they are left, but in fact, their resentment towards us in their hearts is far greater than their resentment towards Zhang Jincheng. Maybe in another year, two years, they will adapt to our arrival and regain a stable life, but ...... I don't have a year or two to appease them, because the enemy can't give me a year or two. ”

Li Xian's voice was very soft, and the reasoning he spoke was also very strange.

So although Ou Si Qingqing nodded slightly, he didn't understand too much.

"I told you before that I want to create a paradise of peach orchards, there is no war, no disaster, no sorrow, maybe you will think that what I am doing now is to make the people sad, I am a liar."

Li Xian smiled and said, "But, if you want to build such a happy land, what is the premise?" ”

He himself answered his own question: "Yes alive." Only when I live can I realize the ideals in my heart. If...... We've all died because of a moment of soft-heartedness, you say, those people who were driven out of Junoze by me before with sadness in their eyes, will they laugh? ”

"There is still a long, long road ahead, and maybe I will do a lot of cruel things, but Qingqing...... You have to believe that in the future, I will be able to accomplish what I promised you. ”

Ou Siqingqing nodded, his face slightly red.

"I'll tell you a story."

Li Xian smiled and said: "A long, long time ago, the Central Plains Jiangnan was occupied by three people, and they established their own countries, one called Wei, one called Shu, and one Wu. Among them, the person who established the Shu State was called Liu Bei, and he was very weak when he first started his army, with only a few thousand men and only one county in his territory. Later, his opponent Cao Ying of Wei led hundreds of thousands of troops to fight him, Liu Bei could not beat him and could only escape, but he was a benevolent and charitable person, and he couldn't bear to let the people fall into Cao Ying's hands, so he ran away with the people of the county. ”

"Liu Bei has a very famous and capable person named Zhuge Liang. He persuaded Liu Bei and said, Lord, if you evacuate with 100,000 people like this, you can't even walk twenty miles a day, and it will be bad if you are caught up by Cao Ying's army. It's better to abandon the people, and we can still get rid of the pursuers by hurrying lightly. Liu Bei didn't agree, saying that I couldn't bear to watch the people being implicated because of me, and I must take the people with me. ”

Li Xian asked Ou Siqingqing: "Do you think that for the people, is it Liu Bei's benevolence or Zhuge Liang's benevolence?" ”

Ou Siqingqing said without thinking: "Liu Bei, he can't bear to let the people suffer, he would rather be caught up by Cao Ying's pursuers than abandon the people, naturally Liu Bei is benevolent." ”

Li Xian smiled and shook his head: "Actually, you are wrong. ”

"Just because Liu Bei fled with 100,000 people, he couldn't go far every day, although Zhuge Liang used clever tricks to repeatedly block Cao Ying's pursuers, but in the end he was caught up. In order to kill Liu Bei, Cao Ying's men and horses fought hard to chase and kill, and both Liu Bei's soldiers and civilians who stood in front of them were killed, I don't know how many people were killed by 100,000 people, I only know that if they didn't follow Liu Bei, Cao Ying's men and horses would not have to slaughter the people. ”

"If they stay at home, that county will become Cao Ying's territory, and they will also become Cao Ying's people, why should Cao Ying kill them? Doesn't Cao Ying need the people? If Liu Bei had followed Zhuge Liang's advice and fled with only his own army, would his soldiers have died because of the drag of the people? Those people...... Will it be slaughtered? ”

"So, Liu Bei, who seems to be benevolent and righteous, is actually an idiot, to put it mildly, who knows his purpose of escaping with 100,000 people, is it just to use the people to block Cao Ying's pursuers for him? Zhuge Liang, who seems to be unkind and righteous, is actually really thinking about the people, because he knows that no matter how insidious Cao Ying is, his country also needs the people, and without the people, can it be called a country? Take the people with them, and the people will be slaughtered. If the people are left behind, the people will become the people of Wei, they have to pay taxes to Wei, and the people who protect them will change from Liu Bei's soldiers to Cao Ying's soldiers, it's as simple as that. ”

Ou Siqingqing's face became a little ugly, she thought for a long time, and slowly nodded: "I understand, An Zhi." ”

Yes, if Liu Bei didn't take the 100,000 people with him, would it be necessary for Cao Ying to kill the people? It was Liu Bei who he wanted to kill, not the people!

Although An Zhi drove out all the people of Junozawa, did he really harm them? If Zhang Jincheng came back with tens of thousands of people, would the people in Juye Zeli help Zhang Jincheng or help An Zhi? If someone secretly puts Zhang Jincheng's men and horses in, and An Zhi's soldiers and Zhang Jincheng's men and horses fight, when the time comes, no matter who wins, how many people will die? How many of those people will die?

This is Ou Si Qingqing's perception, and it is also Li Xian's perception for her.

In fact, Li Xian didn't have these troubles in his heart at all. Because he really understands a truth, if you want to protect the people, you are far from that qualification. Being able to keep yourself, your relatives and your subordinates is what you should think about now.

Choosing between your death and my death, of course, is your death, it's as simple as that.
