Chapter 1116 Drive the people to burn the city
Chapter 1114: Expelling the People and Burning the City
For a benevolent person like Murong Ke, it is undoubtedly an extremely difficult decision to make such a conscienceless thing as expelling people and burning the city, but he has reasons to do so.

"Only when kindness and power are given together, the people of Hetao will know what awe is, so that they dare not resist my Yuanmeng rule."

Murong Ke glanced at the generals again, and explained unhurriedly: "Seizing the city, but not killing too much, this is kindness;

Harvesting grain, expulsion, and burning the city, but still not killing much, this is Buwei.

Drive the people out of the city, and then burn the city. In this way, after the people have no place to live, although they will hate our army, they are more afraid.

And these people who were expelled from the city can only go to other cities of the Jin army. The Jin army will definitely accept and resettle them. This will not only consume the resources of the Jin army, but also spread this kind of awe invisibly. . "

After listening to Murong Ke's explanation, all the generals couldn't help but suddenly realized, and they were even more convinced by Murong Ke.

Seeing that all the generals can understand, Murong Ke will not explain too much. In fact, his move has another intention, which is to plant people among the people, and then take the opportunity to let his own people mix into the city, and cooperate with the inside and outside to break other The city completely disrupted the entire Yinchuan County, so as to take the opportunity to break through the blockade of the Jin army.

After Murong Ke took a deep breath, he said with a little unbearable: "Within half a day, deal with all the problems, and then go north immediately after burning the city."

"Half a day?"

Murong Shao couldn't help asking: "Father, we have to collect food and grass, drive out the whole city, and carry all kinds of supplies. Isn't half a day too short?"

"Half a day is enough."

A trace of solemnity flashed in Murong Ke's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Our army does not have any foundation in Hetao, but the [-] elite Jin army has already come from east and north, so there is not much time for us to spend in Hetao. this.

In terms of material, just bring food, grass and arrows, and burn the excess with the city.

The Jin army is very rich. As long as we can take Hetao, everything that the Jin army owns will be ours, so there is no need to worry about it. "

Since we want to pursue efficiency, we will inevitably ignore others.

Under the violent looting and expulsion by the Yuan army, the people in the city complained a lot. However, because of the force of the Yuan army, the people could only dare to be angry and dare not speak out.

Obeying the expulsion of the Yuan army, the people of the city gradually gathered outside the city, but what followed was the Yuan army who came and burned their homes down in one fell swoop.

The people in Hetao are almost all refugees, wandering in troubled times and living without a fixed place. They didn't settle down until they came to Hetao, and built a new home after several years of hardship.

Many people found it difficult to accept this, and rushed towards them like crazy to stop the fire, but they were shot into a sieve by Yuan army archers before they got close.

Seeing this, the relatives were about to burst into tears, but they had no way to stop them. They could only wailed and hugged their relatives' corpses and scolded Yuan Jun as a beast.

For a while, both inside and outside the city were reduced to Shura hell!

Murong Ke rode his horse and walked slowly all the way, seeing the eyes of countless enemies as deep as the sea, he was actually unwilling to do this in his heart, but the hostile relationship between the two sides forced him to do this.

"Maybe I won't be able to resolve this hatred for the rest of my life, but I will try my best to make up for it after I completely occupy Hetao."

With this in mind, Murong Ke's eyes became more and more determined, and then he drew out his long sword and shouted: "Let's go."

The [-] troops roared in and out, leaving only tens of thousands of people in mourning, and a gorgeous city of fire that was completely ignited.

The fire lasted for a long time, burning for five days and five nights, and finally only a piece of wreckage remained.

During this period, people kept leaving. After all, the dead have passed away, but the living still have to live on.

The Yuan army only left rations for the people for ten days, and if they could not reach the next city within ten days, the only thing waiting for them was to starve to death. Fortunately, the distance between the ten cities in Yinchuan is not too far , ten days is enough to go to the next city.

In the next ten days, two more small cities were breached by Murong Ke, and then the people were expelled and the cities were burned. In this way, Yinchuan County had nearly [-] more refugees in a short period of time.

Yinchuan City, Prefect's Mansion.

After learning that Murong Ke burned down three cities, Qu Yuan was so angry that he was about to go crazy. Yinchuan was built up by him bit by bit. He was full of affection for every plant and tree here, but Murong Ke not only destroyed the stability of the people How could Qu Yuan not be angry if he destroyed Yinchuan County to such an extent.

Qu Yuan kept roaring and cursing Murong Ke, but the anger in his heart didn't decrease at all, so he picked up a pen angrily, and wrote poems to denounce Murong Ke's atrocities.

Qu Yuan was a literati with a name on the literary list, both in the civil society and in the political circles. He has a very high reputation, and his poems immediately caused a wave of waves after they were spread, and became a stain that Murong Ke could not wash away in his life.

"Order the guards of the cities to try their best to resettle the refugees at all costs, and at the same time beware of enemy spies among the refugees." Qu Yuan ordered with a sad expression.

Since becoming an official, Qu Yuan's official career has been extremely open, and he became the prefect smoothly, but now his good luck seems to have run out, and since Zijian broke Murong Ke, he has not heard a good news.

The only thing that made Qu Yuan rejoice was that Murong Ke did not slaughter the city, and as long as the people are still there, the foundation of Yinchuan is there, and the burned city can be rebuilt again, but at that time, he didn’t know whether it was him or the prefect of Yinchuan up.

Qu Yuan looked at the east and murmured to himself: "Wang Jinglue, if you don't come again, I really can't hold on."

On the other side, Wang Meng and Xi Zhicai, who also came from the east, finally succeeded in joining forces halfway, but then received a message from Qu Yuan urging the army to advance.

"This Murong Ke didn't take advantage of the situation to go north, but wreaked havoc everywhere in Yinchuan, but didn't kill the people indiscriminately?"

After learning about Yinchuan's information, Wang Meng couldn't help but frowned, and asked Xi Zhicai beside him: "Military Master, this Murong Ke is not simple. General Yang Ye has already entered the Ningxia Army. Don't dare to go north rashly?
Or is it that from the very beginning, Murong Ke's goal was not Zhenbeiguan, but Jinyang? "

Xi Zhicai's brows were also tightly frowned. Originally, both he and Wang Meng had confirmed Murong Ke's purpose, but now Murong Ke's actions were suspicious, but neither of them dared to gamble because of it. The safety of Jinyang is far more important than Zhenbei Pass.

"Stabilize Yinchuan first, then let's talk about other things." Xi Zhicai said in a deep voice.
