These people were all smiling. Zhao Long felt soft when he looked at them, and suddenly he didn't want to scold them anymore.
They have suffered too much, and they all blame themselves for the incompetence of our own soldiers for not being able to rescue them earlier.
Zhao Long was a little ashamed, but the military could not delay, and he had to say what needed to be said.
When these people came to the gate, they saw a young general wearing white armor glaring at them. They were all so frightened that they immediately dared not laugh and stood up straight, waiting for reprimand.
Zhao Long looked at them and said,
"Everyone, I understand your feelings, but we cannot stay here forever and help you massacre the people of Hami.
Let's do this. I will ask the whole army to help you. The massacre and looting will continue for one more day. When the army sets off early tomorrow morning, it will go to Loulan Kingdom. You will return to the country with the team escorting supplies. "
"The villain obeys your orders."
"The villain obeys your orders."
One by one, these people were busy conveying military orders.
As the army was dispatched again, the people of the Hami capital faced a new round of massacre.
Because everyone knows that this is the last day and he will leave tomorrow. If he doesn’t kill him, he won’t be able to kill him again.
The massacre on this day directly reduced the population of the Hami capital to only 10%.
This percentage is still those who live in the corner slums, which the army did not take care of, and some survivors who hide in the cellars and dry wells.
On this day, the entire capital of Hami was littered with corpses.
Early the next morning, everyone gathered in the Palace Square.
Zhao Long and Xie Xing discussed that because the Zhenbei Army had already transferred 500 troops before, they would not transfer them again this time. Only 1,000 Yue family troops and auxiliary troops would be transferred to take these Central Plains people and escort the supplies back. .
Another point is that the Loulan Kingdom is really poor. They had gathered all the available people in the country and sent a total of 200,000 troops to Yumen Pass. As a result, no one was growing food in their country. How many days to live.
The people in Loulan Kingdom were so hungry that they couldn't even eat. The army's expedition took away almost all the food that was left in the country, leaving them with not much food left in the country.
Therefore, Zhao Long and Xie Xing decided not to transport the grain and grass collected in Hami Country to Yumen Pass.
After all, Loulan Kingdom has no food and cannot rely on the enemy for food.
These 100,000 people need to walk to Loulan City, break through there, and then walk three thousand miles back to Yumen Pass.
This trip requires a lot of food and grass, so you still have to bring enough.
Zhao Long fully considered this before attacking the Luobu country and then the Hami country, just to grab food.
Otherwise, if the Loulan Kingdom has food, they can rob it all the way and attack the hinterland of the Loulan Kingdom without having to consider the issue of logistical supplies. If the enemy army dares to rob and kill, they can just wipe it out.
The materials were divided into two parts. One part was gold, silver, antiques and other materials, as well as the treasures obtained from digging up the ancestral tombs of the Hami emperors, and the other part was grain and grass.
As for gold and silver, Zhao Long didn't give any of it to the soldiers.
The soldiers also had no complaints.
Because everyone knows that with the generous character of Zhenbei Marquis, it is impossible to miss their rewards. Now that they carry gold and silver, it will only increase the burden and make it inconvenient to fight.
This is Han Yun's credibility in the Zhenbei Army, which makes the soldiers trust him so much. If it were another army, they would rather keep it in their own pocket than turn it over.
Another reason is that there is no use for them to hold money now. They can't buy things from the enemy's people, right?
If you like something, just grab it and it's a waste of money.
Under the leadership of Zhao Long, the Zhenbei Army and the Yuejia Army underwent a qualitative transformation.
They are no longer just soldiers, but also experts in robbing, killing vanguards, and digging graves.
Even searching for treasures is a skill that everyone has mastered.
You can tell at a glance where the good stuff is hidden.
After all materials and personnel were distributed, Zhao Long and Xie Xing walked out of the palace and prepared to set off.
Suddenly, someone from the more than 10,000 Central Plains people shouted,
"General, we don't want to go back to China, we want to fight with you against the bandits in the Western Regions!"
"General, take us with you. We also have knives in our hands and can kill the enemy."
"The general saved us from fire and water. We have nothing to repay for his great kindness. We only ask the general to let us be the vanguard when fighting, so as to reduce the casualties of some soldiers."
"We just want to do our little bit and hope the general will make it happen."
"I want to kill a few more dog thieves from the Western Regions to avenge my father and those compatriots who died tragically."
"General, I am uneducated and illiterate, but I am obedient and strong. I will chop wherever you ask me to. Even if you let me die, I will not even frown."
…
After listening to what these people said, Zhao Long smiled, rode a desert wolf to them, waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said,
"Everyone, the reason why you are suffering here is because we did not do a good enough job and failed to rescue you earlier.
I understand your desire to repay you, but serving as a soldier and fighting in a war is a matter of course, and I cannot let you common people participate in the war.
You have not received professional military training. When fighting, you do not understand what the sound of drums and gongs means, and you do not know where the flag is waving in order for you to fight.
Your intentions are good, but when the time comes for the battle between the two armies, it will only cause chaos.
Let's do this. If you really want to repay us, just go back with the escort team and protect our supplies.
If there are enemies who want to rob and steal supplies, you should use the knife in your hand to kill them. ..
But one thing is that you must obey the military orders and you must not go out to massacre the people of Hami country privately and delay the journey of the army.
You must know that the escort team is already weak in combat strength, so it must move fast. Once the enemy forces gather and take advantage of us, all our efforts will be in vain.
You must obey military orders, do you understand? ! "
"Understood!"
The people shouted.
"Okay, when you get to Yumen Pass, the Marquis of Zhenbei will properly arrange for you. If you want to go home, you can go home. If you want to farm, the Marquis will also allocate land to you."
Zhao Long knew that the Loulan Army massacred a large number of people, causing a lot of land to become ownerless. Even if they moved people from neighboring counties, it would be a drop in the bucket. After all, many people were unwilling to leave their hometowns.
There are still many fields that are left unattended. Although these people are both male and female, they are all young and strong. After all, many of them were beaten to death before they were old enough.
With these people farming and giving birth, the two counties will soon be restored to life.
After everything was arranged, the army went out from the west gate.
This time,
Loulan will never be returned until it is broken!
