Chapter 350: Solid Wall Clearing
Liu Jing brought his lieutenant generals and henchmen to meet Zhao Hanzhang.
Ten steps away, Liu Jing led someone to kneel on one knee and salute with fists, "The last general will see Vice General Zhao!" ”
He just learned that Zhao Hanzhang was the deputy general promoted by He Tingshi, and now the soldiers and horses in Runan County must obey her orders.
Zhao Hanzhang nodded slightly, let people get up, and said with a smile: "General Liu has worked hard these days. ”
Liu Jing naturally didn't say that he didn't work hard, he was moved and aggrieved and cried, saying that he was really difficult, he fell here, there were no reinforcements, and there was no strong city wall, it was difficult for him to hold Anling, so he ......
Liu Jing looked at Zhao Hanzhang with a blank eye, "General Zhao, with Wang Mi's troops, he will not give up, this time he will definitely just retreat temporarily, he will still kill back, so do you think we should take the opportunity to avoid Liangdi?" ”
Zhao Hanzhang looked at him, "Is General Liu serious?" ”
Liu Jing, who was also testing her, paused, not knowing whether to nod or not.
Zhao Hanzhang looked at the look on his face carefully, showing a look of great relief, "It's good that General Liu is not serious, otherwise I wouldn't be at ease to hand over Anling to you." ”
Liu Jing: ......
He simply didn't pretend, didn't test it, and said directly: "General Zhao, the last general is now short of soldiers and lack of food, it is difficult to hold Anling, and I also ask General Zhao to send reinforcements." ”
It is impossible to reinforce the army, Chen County can't be transferred there, and it is impossible to give up, and the location of Anling is very important.
So Zhao Hanzhang asked Liu Jing to sit on the fence that was dragged open at the entrance of the town, and talked to him about the difficulties in Yuzhou today.
There is a shortage of soldiers and horses in various places, and there are no reinforcements from the imperial court, so she can't do it even if she wants to give him reinforcements, but there can be some military rations.
Zhao Hanzhang said: "I will order Chen County to send you a batch of military rations, and you must also be careful to respond." ”
She said: "Now there are Hun troops everywhere outside, if the team escorting grain and grass is discovered by them......
Liu Jing immediately patted his chest and said, "General rest assured, in terms of familiarity with Yuzhou, no one can compare to us people, I will definitely let the soldiers take over the grain team well." ”
Zhao Hanzhang nodded with satisfaction.
Liu Jing was still a little unwilling, and said cautiously again: "General, there are no reinforcements, some horses and armaments are good, if we can add one or two hundred war horses, then we will have a little more confidence when we go to the Huns." ”
Zhao Hanzhang sighed, "How don't I know, but our Yuzhou is not like a grassland, where are there so many war horses?" ”
Seeing Liu Jing's stunned gaze and tanned face, Zhao Hanzhang paused, and couldn't bear to refuse directly.
Anling is now almost the same as the lonely city, there are no reinforcements before and after, and even the military rations are small, why do people keep holding on?
If it is not for the glory and wealth, it is for the people of Yuzhou below, and the glory and wealth......
He didn't vote for Wang Mi before he was in danger, and obviously it wasn't for this.
Everyone is willing to pay for Yuzhou, and she naturally can't be too stingy, so after thinking about it, she gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I'll leave you a hundred horses." ”
Liu Jing made inches, "The armaments and war horses captured this time ......"
This Zhao Hanzhang didn't hesitate much, and nodded directly: "It's all left to you." ”
Liu Jing immediately smiled.
Zhao Hanzhang also smiled, his eyes fell on the streets of the town, and some people quietly opened the doors, walked out in the afterglow of the sunset, helped carry the wounded soldiers aside, and cleaned up the corpses left on the street.
Zhao Hanzhang asked, "How many people are left here?" ”
"There's not much left," Liu Jing said, "Some escaped, some died, and those left behind couldn't run away and didn't die for the time being." ”
Zhao Hanzhang said: "Move them to a nearby city." ”
Liu Jing: "The nearest city is Chen County, the other cities have been occupied by the Huns, it is better to stay in Anling to go to those places, at least there is no city wall to block it, and you can sneak out when you want to run." ”
Zhao Hanzhang: "Then go to Liangdi." ”
"It's Gou Xi there now, and I heard that he has always been harsh......"
"That's also being strict with his subordinates, and ...... to the people" Zhao Hanzhang paused and said: "It's okay, at least he won't lock the victims out of the city and let them go to Liangdi!" ”
Zhao Hanzhang said respectfully: "If one day, you can't hold Anling, you have to clear the wilderness when you leave." ”
Liu Jing's face changed slightly, "We received an order from Jianbi Qingye......"
Zhao Hanzhang's face did not change, "It was my order." ”
Liu Jing lowered his eyes and asked regretfully, "Do you know how many people died because of this order?" ”
Zhao Hanzhang shook his head, "Although I don't know how many deaths, I can probably know how many people I have saved." ”
Liu Jing opened his mouth when he heard this, unable to speak.
She was right, if the strong wall clears the wilderness works, the Xiongnu army will definitely retreat, and then not only the people of Yuzhou, but also the entire Central Plains and the people below can be saved.
With Chen County as the central point, the villages and towns radiating outward received an order to clear the wilderness three days ago.
At that time, some people packed up their belongings and took refuge in the nearest city, but many more were reluctant to leave their homes.
It's not that they are not afraid of death, but they will also die if they avoid the city, and if they stay outside, they may have a glimmer of life.
They had no money, and when they entered the city, they were homeless, and even if they could bring food with them, it would be difficult for them to survive in the cold.
And they have a home here, so why should they leave?
But the soldiers who had come to inform them were obviously not considerate of their intentions, and told them to leave the village within this day.
When they came back to inspect the next day, when they saw that they were still not leaving, they immediately rushed into the house and threw their belongings out, and then set the house on fire.
The villagers wept bitterly and threw the dragged food at their feet, and a young soldier shouted: "What are you crying, what are you crying, do you know what we are doing?" It's here to set fire, it said, you can't leave a grain of grain, a vegetable for the Huns, hurry up and get out of the grain with food, and if you don't leave, we will take these things for you. ”
As soon as these words came out, they didn't dare to stay any longer, soldiers and bandits, soldiers and bandits, in the eyes of the common people, soldiers and bandits are the same.
Seeing that they were finally willing to drag their families and run away, the soldiers searched everywhere, in fact, they did not really want to set fires, but only to make sure that there was no food left.
Not long after they left, the soldiers and horses sent by Liu Cong's army to collect grain and grass also arrived, and when they saw the silent village, they searched everywhere, not only did there be no food in the house, but also in the field, so angry that they burned the village with a fire.
But there are always villages that do not leave so timely, and when they meet, the Hun grain and grass team will loot everywhere, kill young men, old people and children, and drag the women to the army as soon as they tie them up, and some will leave the young people, and plan to use them as the front team when attacking the city.
