"Oh, is it? Send someone to take a look. Dahan said.

The people became more and more presentable, began to learn to obey orders, and began to gradually become disciplined.

At the time of the third watch, Li Xingchen had not rested and was in the Pingyang warehouse in the south.

Yuan Wanmiao just led the 10,000 Lingzhou army into the capital, divided it into ten squads, and arranged to patrol near the grain city.

Li Xingchen instructed them to ignore the refugees as long as they did not take the initiative to provoke them.

The most important thing now is to control the situation in the capital first.

On the premise that the people are panicking, it is not wise to go head-to-head with hundreds of thousands of refugees.

Although Li Xingchen is not afraid, he must also take into account the various safety issues of the people.

Once the ruthlessness is launched, the refugees will be broken and broken, and it is not impossible to set fire to the entire capital.

The Pingyang granary is the largest granary in the entire Great Wei Dynasty, and it is also the important place for the grain reserves in the capital.

It's not so much a granary as a grain city.

There are hundreds of granaries in it, as well as many grain cellars, which store tens of millions of stones of grain, salt, wine and other daily necessities.

Pingyang Liangcheng was originally guarded by 2,000 heavy troops in peacetime, and the city was also very high, unless it was a large-scale regular army attack, 2,000 soldiers were enough to defend.

But since the beginning of the refugee incident, the eldest princess has withdrawn these soldiers, and there is not a single soldier in the entire capital except for the Lingzhou army.

"City Lord, let's use so many Lingzhou troops to guard Pingyang Grain City, it's too big and too much, right?"

Regarding Li Xingchen's deployment, Yuan Wanshan was a little puzzled.

He thought that he brought troops over to suppress the illegal refugees, and then sat on the throne with his meritorious service in quelling the chaos.

As a result, I hurried back day and night to see the grain for the capital?

Whether the capital fell or not had nothing to do with Yuan Wanshan itself, he identified only one master, Li Xingchen, and Li Xingchen broke off the father-son relationship with the emperor Lao'er, and sat on half of the city of Great Wei, why bother to come to this troubled water?

The royal infighting will let them go to infighting.

Li Xingchen was silent.

Yuan Wanshan said again: "City Lord, the last general has just checked, this city is very strong, if you really want to send troops to guard it, only one or two thousand soldiers are enough."

Those refugees couldn't have made a ladder to attack it.

What do you want by putting 10,000 of us here? ”

Dugu Ling was also very confused and agreed with Yuan Wanshan's statement.

"City Lord, I also think it's right, since the Lingzhou soldiers have already arrived, they should inspect and inspect at the moment to prevent refugees from gathering together to cause trouble.

At present, the whole capital is empty, and the people dare not come out at all, and it is easy for refugees to gather to plot illegal things, or harass ordinary people.

Once they deal with ordinary people like a granary, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

Yuan Wanshan scratched his head, completely unsure of Li Xingchen's thoughts, and hesitated to suggest, "Why don't we lead the troops to withdraw?" Go back to Lingzhou, and then send troops to pay them all at once after the internal fighting, and the city lord will justifiably become the emperor again? ”

Yuan Wanshan had already had the idea of attacking the capital, but after Li Xingchen beat half of the city, he began to work on the people's livelihood, and he almost stopped sending troops to occupy the territory, which made him think that Li Xingchen no longer wanted to be the emperor.

Several times in his heart, he thought that when Li Xingchen persuaded him to surrender, the heroic words he said were all farts.

However, where did they understand Li Xingchen's thoughts.

Now refugees are still refugees, and when their ambitions swell and they call themselves the army, the situation will be different.

Sending troops to suppress it, or even strangling it entirely, is a reasonable act, and it is a struggle between the army, not a unilateral torture between the army and the people.

At this time, a person from the intelligence department hurriedly rode a horse and said breathlessly: "City Lord, General Dugu, General Yuan, there is a great chaos in the northern wilderness, and there is a 10,000 refugees who claim to be rebels robbing there, and basically killing the people who trade nearby. ”

Li Xingchen's pupils shrank sharply, and he couldn't help but say angrily: "How can there be someone over there?" Isn't every family already in hiding? What are you going to do over there? ”

"City Lord, some bold merchants have stocks at home, especially seafood and meat, so they risk their lives to sneak over there to do private transactions, but they are discovered by refugees."

Li Xingchen sneered secretly.

Some fools who want money and don't want to die.

It seems that the ambitions of the refugees have swelled to the fullest, calling themselves rebels.

"Since they have called themselves the army, General Yuan, General Dugu, leave two thousand Lingzhou troops to guard the grain city, and the rest will go to the northern suburbs immediately with me."

At the same time, the northern suburbs.

Refugees are becoming more and more arrogant.

They didn't know that in a place where the birds don't poop, a large number of ordinary people would secretly gather to make private transactions.

Later, he was discovered by a refugee and came back to report that the Han sent 10,000 people to come to rob him that night, and killed all the ordinary people who were trading, and even intercepted the people who were rushing to make a deal, and killed them after snatching things.

This unprecedented looting of the people unfolded in this wilderness.

Li Xingchen led 8,000 Lingzhou troops to rush over and began to control the situation.

There was a fierce bloody fight between the two sides, screams, wails, and roars continued, and in an instant, rivers of blood flowed and corpses were piled up.

The 8,000 Lingzhou troops armed with shields, bows and arrows, and broadswords lined up in several rows to encircle and suppress in formation.

After all, the refugee army is only a temporary army, where can it resist the regular army.

Except for those who were bold and wanted to make meritorious contributions, they rushed up to confront the Lingzhou army, most of them fled in all directions crying and shouting.

The Lingzhou army didn't care about those who fled, but just frantically slaughtered the refugees who came to fight.

Dugu Ling shouted loudly: "Fifth squad, sixth squad, follow me, try not to let the refugees escape, and those who disobey will be killed." ”

"Yes."

Dugu Order.

Rushing towards the woods with great momentum.

If these refugees are put back, it will inevitably cause a lot of chaos, and how many can be killed today, anyway, it is not the people who are killed now, but the army.

The battle between the army and the army is either you die or I live.

The Lingzhou army was extremely fierce and quickly defeated the refugee army.

The refugees who had an arrogant attitude before were all frightened, and began to retreat vigilantly, and after retreating dozens of steps, the rear was surrounded by the whole as a whole, and there was no way to retreat, so they could only confront the Lingzhou army with a hideous face.

"City Lord, look at the number of them, there should only be four or five thousand people left, kill them or what."

Li Xingchen thought for a while, "Since they have called themselves the rebel army, they should also elect a leader, tie up these people first, and talk to their leader." ”

Li Xingchen has his own considerations.

If all the troops are killed, the means are too cruel, after all, they are all Han Chinese.

Yuan Wanshan nodded, "The last general understands." ”
