Chapter 514

Just as Hanson and Bai Yixuan planned, Nalan night had captured two cities in Huayang County, Sulan and Shuyang, the nearest neighbor of North Vietnam. At this time, Nalan night's army had entered Shuyang City, still like Sulan, trying to persuade the people here to move from North Vietnam to West Chu.

In the city Lord's residence, Nalan sat in the position of Dongping, the director of Shuyang City, listening to Guan Dongping, who has now been subordinated, report on the recent priorities. Although Nalan night has always hated this traitor who is greedy for life and afraid of death and seeks prosperity, at this moment, he can't care so much, as long as he is useful.

Taking the initiative to attack North Vietnam, he took a certain risk. Nalan night is willing to make an exception as long as he can help in the war. If he sent someone to investigate the situation in Shuyang, it would take him a day or two as soon as possible, but since Guan Dongping surrendered, it would be simple to learn the situation from him.

"At present, there are 30000 households in Shuyang City, with a total of 110000 people, including the elderly, children, women and young adults. The lower official has asked people to post notices. As long as they are willing to go to the Western Chu, they can not only avoid the war and save their lives, but also get ten liang of silver and ten jin of rice noodles for each household, which will be reported as soon as they arrive in the Western Chu."

Standing below, Dong Ping, the former director of Shuyang City, carefully looked up at the handsome and dignified young man above, He hurriedly continued: "so far, only 8000 households have gone to register and report, and these 8000 households are farmers and tenants in the city. Those who have a way to live or are unwilling to leave have not appeared, and many ignorant people scold and say... Say you, king of Chu..."

Guan Dongping hesitated and dared not speak. Those words were too ugly. He was afraid that they would cause the murderous God's anger in front of him.

Who knows, Nalan night had no expression at all, only said faintly, "what do those people say?"

After hearing Nalan night's urging, Guan Dongping had to say, "er... Those people really don't know the kindness of the king of Chu. They say... They say that the king of Chu wants them to be traitors, betray North Vietnam, and occupy their houses and land. They say that you, the king of Chu, must die..."

Nalan night was noncommittal. Even though Guan Dong's flat head could not be lower, he looked like a slave bending his knees. He was deeply afraid of offending himself, but he didn't feel anything in his heart. He was mentally prepared before making such a decision.

After all, the two countries fought each other. Naturally, what he thought was the interests of the Western Chu, and these North Vietnamese people certainly regarded him as their enemy. However, Nalan night must do so. Even if he does not get the people of North Vietnam to Xichu, they will only die in this war.

Only by moving them away as much as possible can we avoid the death of more people, which not only weakened the strength of North Vietnam, but also brought more productivity to the Western Chu. For a long time, it has been better and better for the Western Chu, while the population of the North Vietnam has decreased sharply. Even if the Western Chu does not use troops for the North Vietnam, there will be only an empty shell for the North Vietnam royal family at that time, and the North Vietnam without its subjects will be useless at all.

"Don't worry about this. Take charge of the city master. You will continue. As long as you mobilize more than 70% of the people to move away within ten days, I can ensure you to continue to be the city master of the new city. But if you can't even mobilize half of the people, take charge of the city master... Hehe, you know what I mean?"

"Yes, yes!" Guan Dongping was frightened and answered: "don't worry, the king of Chu, the lower officer will go all out to move all these people who don't know how to live or die. The king of Chu is kind enough to spare their lives. If they don't know what's good or bad, don't blame the lower officer for being ruthless."

"Well, remember, try not to hurt people. You go." Nalan waved at night.

"Yes." Guan Dongping retired respectfully.

After he left, yuan xingcai, who was standing behind him, said strangely: "marshal, why do you waste time for these North Vietnamese? We are now in great momentum. Why take the opportunity to fight more cities, but waste time on these North Vietnamese?"

Yong'an also doesn't quite understand. He vaguely knows Nalan night's idea. It's also a good thing for Xichu to take these North Vietnamese people to Xichu, but... After all, this is a war. Why don't you wait until the war is over, and then North Vietnam will directly become Xichu, isn't it up to your majesty? Isn't that easier?

"Marshal, what Yuan Xing said is that even if you want to take care of the lives of these North Vietnamese people, they simply regard us as enemies now. How can they go honestly? Maybe they will get some things on the way, isn't it trouble?"

After listening to the words of two confidants, Nalan night didn't understand, but he thought more. Only in this way can he have the best of both worlds.

First, he doesn't have to worry that more innocent people will die in the war. If the North Vietnamese royal family didn't pick things again and again, he wouldn't form such hatred with the West Chu. Now there can only be one between the two countries, otherwise it will be years of war and harassment. It's better to solve it at one time.

Second, Nalan night must kill Hansen, but Hansen is the emperor of North Vietnam, so the war between the two sides is inevitable. How can we carry out the war as effectively and safely as possible and completely cut off the resistance of North Vietnam? Nalan night had to spend some time moving away these people.

As long as there are no people in every city occupied, it will certainly cause panic in North Vietnam and even more panic between the royal family and courtiers. Even if North Vietnam takes back these cities in the future, there is no use in a deserted city. A city without people will also reduce the urgency for North Vietnam to recover it, so the Western Chu army left here will be safer. When the entire Western Chu army finally won and bit by bit eroded the population of North Vietnam, this was the most terrible annexation method.

This is Nalan night's plan. I just decided to send it back. I haven't received a reply from the imperial court. Although Nalan night knew that Nangong Qing was likely to support his decision, he was not sure about the reaction of other courtiers. In case of some alarmist, maybe he would wait until he opposed the will, so he had to take one step at a time.

When he got up, Nalan night didn't explain too much: "don't worry too much. Instead of worrying about these, you two might as well go to publicize the benefits of going to Xichu with the people of North Vietnam, which is also a help to the king."

"Er, this..." Yuan Xing looked at Yong'an, embarrassed.

Yong'an has the same expression. They have poor eloquence and can't do these things well. Let them go and give these North Vietnamese people a confused soup. If they can't listen to two more swearing words, they will be impatient. They will directly slap and exhale. If they have nothing to do, they will cause an accident.

Suddenly, he smiled and Yong'an said, "marshal, let's forget it. Let's leave it to the city master just now. That's the best use of everything."

For fear that Nalan night would call himself again, Yuan Xing also hurriedly said, "marshal, it seems that the rear Quartermaster materials are coming today. At the right time, we don't bring much. My subordinates go to have a look first and return to marshal when they have news."

With that, he squeezed his eyes towards Yong'an and hurried away.

After leaving the city Lord's residence, yuan xingting stood up and looked around.

Because of the order of Nalan night, Shuyang city was still as good as Sulan and was not devastated by the war. Less than an hour after they attacked the city gate, they had not used the siege vehicle and catapult. Dongping, the director of Shuyang City, was stunned and surrendered directly with the remaining 10000 troops of the whole city.

Guan Dongping was scolded by the people in the city these days, but because Shuyang has a larger population than Sulan, Nalan photographed many Western Chu soldiers patrolling the streets at night. These people did not dare to say anything to their face, but Yuan Xing could imagine what they would say in private when they were afraid. Since Nalan night has made a decision, Yuan Xing doesn't think much. No matter what these North Vietnamese people do, they will win in the end.

Along the way, there were patrolling soldiers from the Western Chu Dynasty who knew Yuan Xing and knew that he was a close soldier of Nalan night. They greeted each other with smiling faces and respectfully shouted "general yuan". Yuan Xing was not arrogant either. He responded one by one and soon transferred to the Quartermaster's office.

Compared with Sulan City, after the occupation of Shuyang City, the Quartermaster's office directly requisitioned a restaurant. This three-story restaurant once called "xiankelai" has been transformed. All kinds of tables, chairs and stools have been moved to the corner, and all kinds of Quartermaster materials are placed in the back hall box by box. Even the upstairs, warehouse and firewood room are full.

Although the quantity looks large, these surplus military supplies, especially grain and grass, are decreasing rapidly every day. There are 100000 Western Chu troops in the city and 50000 stationed outside the city, including more than 30000 war horses. The daily grain and grain and grass for horses are cut most severely. Don't look at the whole restaurant. It's just needed for three or five days. It won't last long.

Fortunately, a few days later, Fang's Quartermaster just arrived, which solved the urgent need.

As soon as he got outside the restaurant, Yuan Xing saw a truck of newly arrived military supplies lined up in the street, which attracted the curious eyes of many North Vietnamese people. However, they just looked at it from a distance and didn't dare to approach it. Yuan Xing glanced at it and didn't care.

"General yuan is coming!" The assistant general who thought he was arranging unloading saw Yuan Xing coming and saluted immediately.

"General yuan!"

"Hello, general yuan!"

All the soldiers of Western Chu saluted Yuan Xing at the same time, and their eyes were full of longing.

If Nalan night is the victory of the Western Chu Dynasty and the invincible existence in the hearts of all the soldiers, Yuan Xing and Yong'an around him are the most loyal guards. Their martial arts are extraordinary, loyal and respected by everyone.

Seeing Nalan night, everyone was respectful and did not dare to be disrespectful, but when they saw Yuan Xing and Yong'an, they were more intimate and rushed up to say hello one by one.

Looking at the carts of grain and grass transported down, Yuan Xing's little worry also fell to the ground. He patted a box and opened it: "how much has this batch arrived? What are there?"

General Nazo immediately said, "go back to general yuan. This time, there are 20 carts of military grain and 100000 military salaries, including forage for horses."

Then he grabbed a handful of rice in the box in front of Yuan Xing and was excited: "general yuan, it's all such rice. You don't have to worry about the problem of rice grain. You can eat it for at least another month."

"By the way, the weather is getting colder and colder recently. I don't think major generals are frostbitten. Is the winter coat coming?" Yuan Xing closed the box and asked.

"Here comes the winter coat."

General Zuo led Yuan Xing to another team of carriages and opened the boxes to show him: "this is the group. General yuan touched it. It's very thick! It'll be distributed later. Everyone wears these winter clothes and doesn't need to cover the quilt at night. It's not cold."

Yuan Xing smiled and scolded and patted him on the shoulder: "it's no good not to cover the quilt. How can we fight when we're sick. Anyway, it's better if we're good. Send it quickly so that we don't get cold."

"Yes!" Zuo Jiang stood at attention and smiled.

However, a moment later, the winter clothes that had just arrived began to be distributed. The team that received the notice sent their own team members, and the smiling general wore the winter clothes on his body.
