Chapter 204 Persecution (3)
After the barriers and weakening of mountains and rivers, the cold currents that went south outside the frontier had already improved a little more when they arrived at Shanyang.
At least if you walk in the wild and wear your feet, you will have a good chance of eating your stomach and not being frozen to death for a night.
But the Sanggan River was still frostbite, and outside Shanyang City, it was covered in white.
Because the road is blocked due to heavy snow, the road is difficult to move. The frozen Sanggan River becomes a natural path. At this moment, a group of carriages and horses are constantly passing through the Sanggan River.
These convoys were all composed of Mayi Yingyang soldiers. The chariots were loaded with food and looted objects, and rushed to Shanyang City in an endless stream.
Wang Rengong called the order, and the Mayi Yingqiu soldiers came out everywhere, collecting the grain for the winter in the four villages, transporting them to various cities for storage, and implementing this strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields. In particular, it is transported to Shanyang.
As for the people in the four fields of Mayi County, Wang Rengong asked them to live in the city. At that time, the county government would naturally send them food and fodder to spend the winter.
Even so, the people of Mayi have neither military office organization nor Yingyang soldiers to guide and protect the passage along the way. If the people who are unable to rush to various cities, where can they have this ability?
Even if you arrive, you have no residence outside the city, set up a few porridge sheds and put a little thin porridge every day. After a few days, what other good results can be achieved except for a large number of deaths outside the city?
Fortunately, most of the soldiers of the Mayi Yingyang were locals. Although they were strictly ordered by Wang Rengong to implement this strategy of strengthening the wall and clearing the country, they still showed some mercy and left some food for the people of the four towns of Mayi, so that they could at least have the hope of fleeing to the land of Hedong. They did not burn and loot, but just confiscated most of the food.
After all, the Mayi Yingyang soldiers are also a formed armed group and need to survive and develop themselves. At this time, it is impossible to let the Mayi Yingyang soldiers disobey on a large scale and not implement Wang Rengong's strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the countryside, but only protecting the county people.
Even if the subordinates showed mercy, the strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the country was implemented later. As the people resisted sporadically, the methods became more and more fierce. Every time the grain collection team came back, dozens of lives would be caused. Occasionally, there were still fires in the four towns, but the Mayi Yingyang soldiers who had lost their temper let go and burned the village.
This is how it is in troubled times. The more people become, the harder they are, and the more cruel the people's experiences are!
Wang Rengong's response strategy is not just to strengthen the walls and clear the fields, but also to push the defense line, especially the defense line of Shanyang City, outward, especially the passage of the Sanggan River Valley.
It turned out that in Mayi County, the fortification was just the place in the Yunzhong. There was a complete and profound defense line against the Turks. When Wang Rengong wanted to deal with Liu Wuzhou, he had never managed any defense line in the hinterland of Mayi County. He fought with superior forces to launch a joint battle in the field.
Now that Xu Le and Shenwu are making such a fuss, Wang Rengong dares not fight in the field for the time being, so he can only operate the defense line as soon as possible.
Along the mountains and hills on both sides of the Sanggan River Valley, a military camp with one another was built to gain enough depth for Shanyang City. The idea was that if Liu Wuzhou raised an army south, the military camps would be gnawed like this, and when they climbed to Shanyang City, the food would be consumed. At that time, it would be a situation of winning without a fight.
It turned out that the Mayi Yingyang soldiers, which were stationed near Shanyang City, drove out in groups, and together with the civilians, built military camp fortresses in winter. They stationed and waited for Liu Wuzhou to go south to move to the south.
Chen Xi had always had a bad temper and was naturally unable to stay in Shanyang City to enjoy his fortune. He drove him out and stationed in a newly built military camp by the Sanggan River.
At this time, he stood on the wall with a gloomy face, watching the chariots and horses passing through the river valley. His two eyebrows were tightly twisted together, as if they would burst out at any time.
More than a dozen subordinates surrounded him, with sleeves and neck hunched, looking at everything in front of him. One Huo Chang smacked his lips: "Cheng Tuozi is showing mercy this time. Looking at the car, there are only two or three hundred stones of food, leaving 300% of them."
Another subordinate sneer laughed: "I am a man in his early thirties. Last year, I chose a young lady who fled to escape and finally got married. It is said that she is pregnant. Of course, he has to practice Yin Gong for his descendants."
Someone scolded: "Cheng Kuozi is fine. Zhao Cuzi usually has kindness, but he is ruthless! He burned a village and came back from the convoy, and in addition to the food, he also had a stolen girl! We didn't settle here. If we saw it, we would definitely go on with them!"
Someone sighed and shook his head: "People's hearts are broken, they are all from the villagers. Why do you make such a fuss?"
A white-haired old man sneered: "You have come here on your daily life and have not experienced the suffering of troubled times! You all think that your family wants to survive. The people above think that their family is rich and have no place to care about the homes? A good person will become a beast. I have only been safe for many years, but now it is in chaos again!"
Finally, someone mysteriously spread the rumors: "By the way, Kaiyang troops have been transferred, and now they have entered Shanyang City."
Someone now sneered: "What nonsense? The Kaiyang troops head north, aren't you afraid of the Duke of Tang in Hedong? Our county duke has always regarded Duke of Tang as a great enemy!"
The man blushed and said, "We went to the city to get food and fodder, and saw the banner of Kaiyang soldiers with our own eyes! There were also relatives in our family. When we met, they said a few words. Can this be fake? The relatives told us that the county duke invited Hedong soldiers and entered Kaiyang to support the county duke. Now it is the Mayi and Hedong soldiers. Let's clean up Liu Ying in the clouds first!"
Everyone was speechless for a moment. Wang Rengong used his tricks and used them with one move, which was extremely vicious. He did not hesitate to harm the people of Mayi internally, and led Hedong troops into the county externally. He had already regarded Liu Wuzhou as a life-and-death enemy and completely ignored his face.
However, this method was forced step by step, and Liu Wuzhou's weakness of lack of food can really force Liu Wuzhou to the point of desperate situation!
Strongly stabilize the barriers and wait for the enemy to collapse.
As long as you stand in the end, you will be the one who wins, even if you drag the entire Mayi County into hell!
The veteran soldier of Xumei Huabai murmured to himself: "First, the Mayi soldiers, Hedong soldiers and Heng'an soldiers fought the Turks together, and then the Mayi soldiers and Hedong soldiers fought the Heng'an soldiers together. Maybe the Mayi soldiers fought the Hedong soldiers later. I don't know what other soldiers will fight each other in the future... Let's fight, fight, how many years have they been stable? This is the world!"
Suddenly, a sword light flashed, but Chen Xi pulled out his waist and slashed it hard on the village!
With the muffled sound, the straight knife penetrated the wood very deep, and the wood chips flew everywhere.
Chen Xi's eyes were blood red: "This is my mother's world! No one can turn this world over!"
Everyone was about to persuade Chen Xi, but Chen Xi was already shouting to the north at the top of his voice.
