Chapter 155: No Man's Land (8)

Snowflakes drifted in the gloomy sky. Qin Mohuan led a team of armored soldiers into the charred black village in the snow, and the village was quiet, and the silence was creepy.

He had been following the Mongol army for three days, and this was the fourth village that had been completely destroyed along the way, and every village was empty.

The cavalry ran twice around the village and stopped in front of the well at the head of the village. The people had enough experience to smell the smell and then throw in a few stones. Hearing the sound of stones crashing against solids, the group got on their horses and left the village.

Before seeing it with his own eyes, Qin Mohuan didn't think that the necessary means to destroy the village was to fill the well with corpses. Even though it was winter, the corpses had been soaked in the well for several days, and they still had a foul smell. Without clean water to drink, people can't stand it.

Galloping out of the village, Qin Mohuan and the others arrived next to the small river outside the village. Looking at the murky river, many people patted the water bags on their horses. The water bag was filled with a sufficient amount of water, and if the Mongol army was not insisted on pursuing at this time, it would be enough to survive until the return to Texas.

Qin Mohuan raised his arm and watched the snowflakes fall on the steel gauntlet. Originally, he thought that the snowflakes would melt, but he didn't expect the snowflakes to bounce on the gauntlets and slide down. The cold weather also did not allow him to continue to pursue the Mongols.

"Go back." Qin Mohuan ordered.

When the snow first started, the temperature was not too low, and the ground was not so bad that it could not be marched. However, Qin Mohuan ran until the next day and finally understood what the problem was on a snowy day. If the horses' hooves were not covered with a white-brown rope, even the horseshoe with the farrier would slip. Horses have to carry men in steel armor, and with so much equipment, falling is not a trivial matter, and it is very likely to fall and get injured. Moreover, the north wind was cold for a while, and there was originally a thick lining made of silkworm silk in it, plus other clothes, Qin Mohuan felt that he could bear it. Unexpectedly, he still couldn't bear this cold, and his whole body was shivering. The immediate priority now is to get back to where we can be stationed.

When Qin Mohuan returned to Texas, he found that there were basically no more people left in Texas. When the Mongols left, they filled all the wells in the city with corpses. Without water, no one can afford it. So the heroes left Texas one after another, returning to their strongholds with the spoils of war.

If it was just these people leaving, it would be fine, as soon as he inquired, General Liu Chong led his troops out of Texas when Qin Mohuan went to check. Qin Mohuan didn't have any other thoughts at this time, he rested in Texas for a day, and rushed back to his town before the clean water ran out.

There is no Hebei people who are not ruined by the Mongols, and the same is true of Qin Mohuan's family. At this time, Qin Mohuan saw the ravages of the Mongols with his own eyes, and tried his best to persuade the people in the town to move to the south of the Yellow River.

The reason why Liu Pet left early happened to be related to this matter. Seeing the Mongol army's massacre of Dezhou, Liu Chong originally thought that the Mongol army was only targeting such an indefensible point as Dezhou. However, after interrogating the captured captives again, he was surprised to learn that the Mongols had attached great importance to gathering intelligence before this trip.

At this time, Liu Chong felt that something was wrong, so he sent people to track down the Mongolian army, and sent people to other villages and towns to find out the news. Even after doing this, Liu Pet still felt uneasy, so he simply left Texas and returned to the intelligence department in Jinan. There can still be the most rational discussion here.

When the intelligence department learned that Liu Pet was back, it immediately convened a plenary meeting. After listening to Liu Chong's introduction, the director said indifferently: "How can you still have any illusions about the Mongols." They don't even want Texas anymore, do you think they'll let other villages go? ”

"They...... Do you want to kill everyone in this area? Although Liu Pet could think of such a conclusion, he still felt that this conclusion was beyond his own acceptance.

The director said coldly: "The official family's order to allow our relatives to flee south of the Yellow River has caused turmoil in the entire area north of the Yellow River. The best way for the Mongols to solve this problem is to kill them all. ”

After listening to this emotionless description, some of the people in the intelligence department were speechless, some were speechless, and some of them shivered greatly. Even these former soldiers, who have seen blood and killed the enemy, can't accept such a thing.

After glancing at his subordinates, the director couldn't help but want to write down the performance of these boys in the report. Although these boys have killed people, they have not lost their humanity because of this. The Zhao family spent great effort to try to take off the hat of the thief of the Great Song army. Now these soldiers are not only good families, but also people with a sense of justice. If Zhao Guanjia can see the report, they will be very pleased, and give the director a credit.

"Shall we now take the people north of the Yellow River to the south of the Yellow River?" Liu Chong's voice broke the dull atmosphere.

"Hmm. I'll talk to this side and let this side set aside land for the newcomers to cultivate. The Commissioner replied decisively. Previously, Liu Chong's trading point plan was approved and pushed to the current situation and the original purpose of collecting information on the soldiers of the Great Yuan Mansion by trading was unrecognizable, but the director did not think that Liu Chong had failed at all.

The purpose of Zhao's family was to recover Hebei and defend the mountainous area. Let Mongolia in the north not be able to launch a southern invasion at will, and then turn Henan into a safe rear. The drastic changes are getting closer to the fundamental purpose behind the plan.

Now, what the director needs is to let Zhao Guanjia see that this plan can finally enter a new stage. What is needed for war is money and food. Now the 300,000 troops of the Great Song Dynasty are not at all an existence that the Mongol army can contend with. The equipment needed for the Northern Expedition was no longer a problem, and it took a lot of food to get these troops to the front, and this army needed a lot of food to move from the south to the north. If we could accommodate the people in the north, there would be a labor force south of the Yellow River to produce food.

This report can't be written by this kid Liu Pet anyway.

Liu Pet didn't think of this. He only felt the anger in his heart growing stronger, and he was able to understand the choice of the Mongols. If it is not possible to control the people of the area north of the Yellow River, then create a no-man's land here. It was a quick and terrible task for any army to cross a no-man's-land of hundreds of miles, and this no-man's land gave the Mongols room to attack the Song army in the Northern Expedition.

This is a very normal strategic thinking, not at all unusual, nor outrageous. But the means executed by the Mongols were something that Liu Pet could never forgive.

These Mongols must be eradicated! Liu Pet made an oath!
