Chapter 119: A Cruel War

Qi Deqiang's actions were still a little beyond Chen Hu's expectations, Chen Hu calculated that he would do something to Yan Guo, but he didn't expect him to be so direct, he didn't even pretend to return to China and then turn his head to fight, but went all the way back and directly burned and looted.

The Yan army was facing the Qi army, which was useless to vent their worries, and they were already weak and vulnerable at all, and they were directly killed and injured by the beaten head rats.

Chen Hu is not an immortal, and it is impossible to calculate everything, but it is undeniable that there is nothing wrong with his overall view.

In the land of Yan after the Qi army, all the way forward, the place was miserable, and even passed by several villages in succession without seeing people.

Rao is Chen Hu, who has experienced the cruelty of the battlefield, and he is also in a heavy mood, with frowns.

The scene here is like that of war-torn Africa in a previous life, full of weeping children, dry bones, and unclaimed stinking corpses full of mosquitoes and flies.

Broken bricks and tiles......

After the fire burned, only traces of rubble remained, and people who were homeless and wept dry.

The sky seemed to be shrouded in a layer of haze, and the gloom was so overwhelming that people were a little breathless.

"This is the cruelty of war, and the catastrophe of war is not only physical trauma, but also mental torture."

"I thought I was cold-blooded and ruthless enough, but then I realized that I was still not ruthless enough."

Chen Hu picked up the crying baby in his arms and couldn't help comforting him, who had always been ruthless in the eyes of people, but let the child gradually quiet down and fall asleep in his arms.

"Your cruelty is to those who are wicked and bad, and you have never hurt innocent people, so your heart is hot, not cold." Looking at the child sleeping comfortably in Chen Hu's arms, Qi Jingyi said softly.

"Let the herald soldiers expedite eight hundred miles, pass on my orders, and order the military department, the household department, the ritual department, and the three departments to coordinate the allocation of personnel and materials, especially medicines, to go to Yan State to take charge of the post-war affairs, if you don't deal with it as soon as possible, it is very likely that there will be an outbreak of plague, and more people will die by then."

"In addition, let our army allocate manpower to be mainly responsible for the security and pacification of Yan State, severely punish those who dare to take advantage of the fire to rob and other bad behaviors, and let the army save some food to those who need it."

"By the way, by the way, let the emperor issue an order, order the attacking Qi army to evacuate quickly, and go to my mansion, and let Chu Xiang'er inform her cousin to accept it when she sees it."

Chen Hu commanded to an adjutant general not far from his side.

"Yes!" The deputy general received the order and immediately went to arrange people.

This is the sorrow of a weak country, no matter who is in a bad mood, they will step on their heads, but it is the ordinary people living in this land who suffer, they are powerless to resist, and can only let the strong trample on their dignity and let them be bullied.

Along the way, the scenes I saw were all without exception, dilapidated, dilapidated, and gray style lingered in front of me.

Qi Deqiang swept the entire Yan Kingdom with a momentum like a bamboo, not only plundered a large number of materials and gold and silver treasures, but also let the Yan State cede ten cities, and signed a treaty of loss of power and humiliation of the country, the indemnity alone is as high as 10 million taels of silver, this figure is not even fifty years for the current Yan State.

There is no doubt that this money will be paid for by ordinary people, and their already misery is even worse.

However, under Chen Hu's orders, the people of Yan Kingdom found hope and light in despair.

In fact, for ordinary people, they have no hope, no fighting spirit, where will they care about which country they are, what country they care about, as long as they live and can eat enough, they will be grateful to God.

Mingguo gave them hope and the motivation to live, and they were naturally grateful to Mingguo.

The icing on the cake is often there, and sending charcoal in the snow is the most valuable, and this kindness is remembered by them.

On the other hand, when Chen Hu was suffering from torture in the land that he couldn't bear to suffer, and he was concentrating on the aftermath of the Yan State after the war, Chen Youliang, with the assistance of Yang Di and Teng Geer, quickly absorbed the remnants of the Yan army and integrated the troops to form a force of 400,000 horses.

Of course, it includes the 100,000 garrisons led by Yang Di of the Ming army, 50,000 in Mobei, and Chen Youliang's original 50,000 horses.

Tiger Wolf Mountain.

This is the only way for Yan to lead to Qi.

The 400,000 army did not go to the capital of Yan to rescue him, but ambushed him here after Yang Di's advice.

"Yang Di, although Qi Deqiang's vanguard has passed, but there are still 400,000 horses in the army behind them, can we just eat it, if Qi Deqiang's vanguard is brought back, then we will be attacked on our backs." Chen Youliang said to Yang Di with some concern.

After all, although the number of 400,000 troops is there, the remnants of the army that have been incorporated have no combat effectiveness at all, the weapons are incomplete, the equipment is even more tattered, and there are many, many wounded, plus his 50,000 horses and horses are inexperienced, and the only ones who can be counted on are the 100,000 Ming army and the 50,000 people in Mobei.

And Mobei is good at cavalry charge, for the lack of ambush warfare, once calculated, it is equivalent to letting the Ming army's 100,000 in the same army's 400,000.

With such a disparity in battle, how could Chen Youliang have confidence in his heart, because the strength of the Qi army along the way had left him with a lot of psychological shadows.

"Hey...... Believe it or not, the name of General Zhenguo of our Ming Kingdom alone is worth a million male soldiers? Yang Di smiled slightly.

"This ...... I didn't understand what you meant, didn't General Zhenguo deal with the aftermath in the rear, he ...... Has he mobilized an army of a million? Chen Youliang scratched his head and asked with a puzzled expression.

"You just look at it, when the Qi army will be frightened, and Qi Deqiang will not dare to come back, he only has to run, this is the secret method that General Zhenguo told me before leaving, if you are not defeated, or encounter the siege of the Qi army, just call his name to ensure that it is good, but unfortunately I did not meet the Qi army along the way, I only use it here." Yang Di said with a smile.

"The name of General Zhenguo can scare them off?" Chen Youliang wondered.

"Have you never seen the majesty of General Zhenguo, when you have time to really see each other, you will understand, back then, General Zhenguo Yanmen Guan captured alive the two gods of war of Qi plus a prince, and an army of 500,000, which has long left a shadow in the hearts of Qi Jun." Yang Di said.

"Don't blame me, tell me the truth, is this really true? I always thought it was just an exaggeration of rumors, how could the 500,000 army of the Qi army be wiped out, and our people were only a few injured, although I believed a few points when I saw General Zhenguo, but I still couldn't figure it out. Chen Youliang said embarrassedly.

"Following General Zhenguo's side, there will be a lot of things you can't figure out in the future, General Zhenguo's ability is like the countless stars in the sky, what we have seen is just a drop in the ocean." Yang Di said with a look of adoration.

"I believe this, although I have not been in contact with General Zhenguo for a long time, I really admire his difference." Chen Youliang empathized.

"Okay, the Qi army is coming, brothers, get ready to fight!"

Recruiting land, Yang Di's eyes lit up, and he commanded in a low voice.
