Chapter 350 Strong walls and clear fields

Liu Jing brought his lieutenants and confidants to visit Zhao Hanzhang.

Still ten steps away, Liu Jing led his men to kneel down on one knee, clasped their fists and saluted, "I will see you, Vice General Zhao!"

He had just learned that Zhao Hanzhang was the newly promoted lieutenant general of He Governor, and now all the soldiers and horses in Runan County must obey her orders.

Zhao Hanzhang nodded slightly, asked people to get up, and said with a smile: "General Liu has worked hard these days."

Naturally, Liu Jing would not say that he had not worked hard. He shed tears with a face of emotion and grievance, saying that it was really difficult for him. He fell here, with no reinforcements and no strong walls. It was difficult for him to hold Anling. so……

Liu Jing looked at Zhao Hanzhang eagerly, "General Zhao, with Wang Mi's strength, he will not give up. This time he will definitely retreat temporarily, but he will still come 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 and didn't know whether to nod or not.

Zhao Hanzhang looked at the expression on his face carefully and looked relieved, "General Liu must be serious, otherwise I would not be able to trust you to guard Anling."

Liu Jing:......

He simply stopped pretending or testing, and said directly: "General Zhao, the last general has few troops and lacks food. It is difficult to defend Anling. Please ask General Zhao to send more reinforcements."

Reinforcements are impossible, Chen County cannot be mobilized, and giving up is impossible. The location of Anling is very important.

So Zhao Hanzhang asked Liu Jing to sit on the fences that had been pulled open at the entrance of the town, and talk to him earnestly about the difficulties in Yuzhou today.

There was a shortage of soldiers and horses everywhere, and no reinforcements came from the court. She couldn't get him reinforcements even if she wanted to, but she could have some military rations.

Zhao Hanzhang said: "I will order Chen County to send you a batch of military rations, and you must be careful to respond."

She said: "Now there are Huns troops everywhere outside. If the team escorting the grain and grass are discovered by them..."

Liu Jing immediately patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, general. No one is as familiar with Yuzhou as we are. I will definitely let the soldiers take care of the food escort team."

Zhao Hanzhang nodded with satisfaction.

Liu Jing was still a little unwilling, and said cautiously again: "General, there are no reinforcements, but some horses and armaments are good. If we can add one or two hundred horses, we will have a little more confidence when we face the Huns."

Zhao Hanzhang sighed, "How could I not know, but our Yuzhou is not like a grassland, how can we get so many war horses?"

Seeing Liu Jing's eager eyes and tanned face, Zhao Hanzhang paused, but he couldn't bear to refuse directly.

Anling is almost the same as Gucheng now. There are no reinforcements before and after, and there is even little military rations. Why do they keep holding on?

If it's not for the glory and wealth, it's for the people of Yuzhou below, and the glory and wealth...

He didn't vote for Wang Mi when the crisis was so bad before, obviously it wasn't for this reason.

Everyone was willing to sacrifice their lives for Yuzhou, so naturally she couldn'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 pressed forward, "The armaments and war horses captured this time..."

Zhao Hanzhang didn't hesitate much, nodded directly and said: "Leave it all to you."

Liu Jing immediately beamed.

Zhao Hanzhang also smiled, and his eyes fell on the streets of the town. Some people quietly opened the door and walked out in the afterglow of the setting sun. They helped carry the wounded soldiers aside and cleaned up the corpses left on the streets.

Zhao Hanzhang asked: "How many people are left here?"

"There aren't many left," Liu Jing said: "Some escaped, some died, and the ones left behind are those who can't escape and are not dead yet."

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. If we go to those places, we might as well stay in Anling. At least there is no city wall blocking us. We can sneak out when we want to."

Zhao Hanzhang: "Then go to Liangdi."

"The place is now occupied by Gou Xi. I heard that he has always been strict..."

"That's also harsh on his subordinates and harsh on the people..." Zhao Hanzhang paused and said: "It's not bad, at least he won't lock the victims outside the city and let them go to Liangdi!"

Zhao Hanzhang and Liu Jing said: "If one day you can no longer defend Anling, you must clear the country when you leave."

Liu Jing's face changed slightly, "We received the order to strengthen the wall and clear the field..."

Zhao Hanzhang said without changing his expression, "I gave the order."

Liu Jing lowered his eyes and asked sadly: "Do you know how many people died because of this order?"

Zhao Hanzhang shook his head, "Although I don't know how many people died, I can probably know how many people I saved."

Liu Jing opened his mouth when he heard this, but was speechless.

She was right. If the strong walls and clearing the country were effective, the Xiongnu army would definitely retreat. By then, not only the people of Yuzhou, but also the people of the entire Central Plains and below would be able to be saved.

With Chen County as the center point, the villages and towns radiating outwards received the order to strengthen their walls and clear their fields three days ago.

At that time, some people packed up their things and fled to the nearest city, but more people were unwilling to leave their hometown.

It's not that they are not afraid of death, but they will die if they avoid the city. If they stay outside, they may have a chance of survival.

They have no money and become refugees when they enter the city. Even if they can bring food from home, it will be difficult to survive when the weather gets cold.

Moreover, they have a home here, why would they leave?

However, the soldiers who came to inform them obviously did not consider their thoughts and directly asked them to leave the village today.

When I came back for inspection the next day, I saw that they still refused to leave. I immediately rushed into the house, threw their belongings out, and then set the house on fire.

The villagers cried bitterly and threw the dragged out grain at their feet. A young soldier shouted: "Why are you crying? Why are you crying? Do you know what we do? We are just here to set fire. It is said above that no one can be left behind." Give the Xiongnu a grain of grain and a vegetable. Take the grain and get out of here. If you don’t leave, we will take all these things for you.”

As soon as these words came out, they did not dare to stay any longer. Soldiers and bandits, soldiers and bandits, in the eyes of ordinary people, soldiers and bandits are the same.

Seeing that they were finally willing to run away with their families, the soldiers started searching everywhere. In fact, they didn't really want to set fire to it, they just wanted to make sure that no food was left behind.

Not long after they left, the soldiers and horses sent by Liu Cong's army to collect food and grass also arrived. When they saw the silent village, they searched everywhere. Not only was there no food in the house, but there was no food in the field either. They were so angry that they burned the village down. .

But there are always villages that do not leave in time. When they encounter them, the Huns' grain and fodder teams will loot everywhere, kill the young men, old people and children, tie up the women and drag them to the army, and some will keep the young people and plan to attack them. When they entered the city, they served as the front line.

I always thought I updated a chapter, but it turned out to be just in the draft box and I forgot to publish it.
