Chapter 127: The Southern People Move North!

When Li Tang was in retreat, Xun Yu rode a lion and horse beast, as anxious as a spark, and rushed to the four southern counties!

The four southern counties refer to the southernmost Nan'an County, as well as the three counties bordering it, Guiqian, Qingtian, and Weidong, which can reach thousands of kilometers in length and width, and live in millions of people.

Among them, Qingtian County is the most prosperous and most populous, accounting for half of the total population of the four counties, and the rest of the counties have less population, especially the border Nan'an County, which has only a few hundred thousand people, which can be described as a vast and sparsely populated area!

Xun Yu, who arrived in a hurry, immediately took over the defenders of the four counties, formed a garrison of 30,000 people, and then summoned the county officials, issued a royal decree, and began to move the people.

I'd rather be a peace dog, don't be a mess and leave people!

As the royal decree was conveyed, all the people knew about it, their hearts were heavy, and they were grief-stricken, looking at the notice, their inner thoughts were different, and there were many discussions:

"Oh my God! the war is going on again, and we poor people will become displaced people, living a life of displacement!"

"Don't talk nonsense, the king's decree is clearly written, the imperial court has not abandoned us, and will organize a major transfer to other counties and counties to ensure that we are not invaded by war!"

"Really?"

"Nonsense, I'm also a reader, of course I can understand the meaning of Wang Ling!"

"That's great, let's hurry back and clean up, King Tang is really Renjun, the war is over, and he still thinks about our lower class people!"

"That is, the war is ruthless, the king is righteous, and he is really lucky to live in the Tang Dynasty!"

Some of the people talked a lot and began to return home, pack their luggage, go to the county government for the record, and prepare to move.

Of course, there are also some people who are unwilling, roaring loudly and expressing their dissatisfaction:

"Isn't the king of Tang known as the king of Ming? should send troops to protect our safety, outside the city, I still have thousands of acres of fertile land, after the migration, the court will give subsidies?"

"That is, I live in a mansion in Nan'an County, live for decades, and I will not leave this place where I was born and raised!"

"The court is incompetent, and it will affect us, which is extremely hateful!"

“............”

Those who were reluctant to leave complained one after another, and the words that came out became more and more unpleasant, causing many people to be dissatisfied, and hurriedly dissuaded:

"You don't want to talk nonsense, the Tang King sent Lord Xun Yu over to organize us to relocate, just to protect us, you better go home and clean up, so as not to regret it later!"

"I'm not leaving, I'm not going to die, you cowards, get out of here!"

The persuasion of well-wishers did not play a role, but made them more stubborn, flicked their sleeves, turned their heads and left, leaving the dissuasioners speechless and understanding a truth.

There are always people who are cheap, unwilling to accept the kindness of others, but persistently pursue something impossible!

Then, under the organization of the defenders, the border city of Nan'an County returned to the city and began to relocate the people, under the leadership of the city lord, 100,000 people, shuttled through the Qianmo trail, leaving the city where they had lived for generations.

They will travel to Luoping County, trekking all the way through mountains and rivers, and are expected to travel for two months and cross more than 1,200 miles of territory.

With the migration of the population, there are constantly reports of twists and turns, Nan'an County Government, Xun Yu's face is solemn, and he carefully checks the content of the twists and turns in front of him:

"Nan'an County Shouyu reported to General Zhonglang, the people of the seventh layer of Nan'an County are willing to move, the people of the second layer are hesitating, and the people of the first layer are unwilling to move!"

After reading the content, he frowned, the war is imminent, and there are still people who are unwilling to evacuate, isn't this self-defeating?

You know, this is the invasion of the country, not the power of the country.

The national forces, in times of war, will be merciful and will not kill a large number of people by mistake, so the original Qingxiao country has experienced a divided civil war, and the number of dead people is not as large as the army.

But the invasion of the rest of the countries is very different, they can use any means in order to win, and after breaking through the city, they often give the order of revelry.

What is the Carnival Command?

It is to burn, kill, rape, and captive, plunder, and humiliation, and soldiers enter the city, take pleasure in killing people, commit adultery everywhere, and rob property, and in serious cases, they will give orders to slaughter the city.

In this way, the pressure on the army can be relaxed, the morale of the army can be improved, and the morale of the enemy army can be suppressed, so that the enemy army is intimidated and afraid.

"Zhonglang will order, Tang Wang is benevolent and righteous, will not give up the people easily, the counties will step up the organization of the people to relocate, if there is disobedience, you can be forced to relocate, but there is resistance, obsessed and unenlightened, abandon it!"

He is an official of the imperial court, and he must focus on the overall situation, and he can't lose a big one because of a small one, so after the order was issued, the counties quickly implemented it, and finally counted that there were about half of the people who were unwilling to leave.

In the end, Xun Yu summarized a piece of music and passed it to the top of the Nine Folds, presenting it in Li Tang's eyes.

Looking at the contents inside, Li Tang thought about it, and in order to facilitate the future battle situation, he picked up the pen and wrote:

"Tang Wang order, all the people of the Tang Dynasty must follow the orders of the imperial court, otherwise it will be regarded as automatically giving up the identity of the people of the Tang Dynasty, everything in the future has nothing to do with the Tang Kingdom, on the battlefield, the Tang army will not bear the obligation to protect them, Qin!"

"Tang Wang ordered that the relocation of the people arrived, and the county governments opened the granaries to ensure their livelihoods, and at the same time, the counties stepped up the autumn harvest, put them in the granaries, and distributed them uniformly!"

Two royal decrees, the words of the emperor, save millions of people, solve the difficulties of the people's migration, the people of the four counties, began to move in an orderly manner, until many years later, the Tang Dynasty history books recorded:

"In the autumn of the first year of the Tang Dynasty, Qi Tianhou invaded, the Tang King was benevolent and righteous, spent national strength, organized the people to relocate, and a large number of southern people moved north, sharing half a year, in the war, to ensure the stability of the population of the Tang Dynasty!"

At the same time as the people moved, the vanguard of Qi Tianhou took the lead and arrived in Beiyan County, and after a short rest, they sent the troops back to the city.

Under the leadership of the vanguard general, 50,000 vanguard troops came to the south gate of Yanhui City, with various siege equipment, looking at the city wall, preparing to attack the city.

And what about Yan Huicheng?

Although it is on the border, it is only a small city, and there are only 3,000 ordinary defenders in the city, surrounded by a large army, like a sheep in the mouth of a tiger!

The trees are yellow, the flowers are withered and the leaves are falling, and in the autumn, the army besieges the city, adding a touch of poignancy to Yan Huicheng, and is finally interrupted by the order of the enemy vanguard general:

"Attention of the whole army, when the vanguard destroys the city gates, launch an attack!"

After speaking, the momentum of the Martial King on his body exploded, and he flew towards the city gate, and the halberd aura in his hand tumbled, emitting great power.

"Shoot arrows!"

The captain guarding the city was shocked in his heart, and his heart fell to the bottom, the other party actually had a martial king, one person could suppress the terrible existence of a country, how to resist this, so he had to issue an order to die and struggle.

"Whoosh!"

"Whew!"

Hearing the captain's order, the defenders hurriedly released their arrows, and thousands of arrows flew out, densely packed, and shot at the vanguard of the Martial King.

"It's just a flying arrow, and it's not a dark iron arrow, how can you stop this pioneer and break it for me!"

Disdain appeared in the eyes of the vanguard generals, and the aura came out, resisting the arrows, braving the rain of arrows, like a walk in the courtyard, came to the city gate, and the halberd was inserted into the door, causing the city gate to be torn apart!

"Rush!"

Then 50,000 troops, all in unison, attacked and soon came to the bottom of the city walls.

Seeing this, the captain of the garrison called a young soldier and gave a battle report, saying:

"Give the battle report to the general, and say that Zhang Yi, the captain of Yan Huicheng, did not lose the face of the Changshan army!"

It turned out that in order to make a quick transition of power and ensure that the counties and counties of the original Qingxiao Kingdom did not resist, they sent elite soldiers from the three armies of Changshan, Killing God, and Qiongming to serve as captains of counties and counties in the world.

And he, Zhang Yi, is among them, a good, loyal soldier!
