Chapter 1313 Relief in Liaodong
In Liaoyang in autumn, the temperature is already very low, especially after an autumn rain, it is even more chilly, and the air is also faintly filled with the smell of dead branches and fallen leaves. In the evening, this desolate and depressing scene is the scene of the war zone. Give the most authentic portrayal of Liaoyang.

In Liaoyang area, the climate is rainy, especially torrential rain and heavy rain. Fortunately, the season with the most precipitation has passed.Otherwise, it will be even more difficult for the soldiers of the Han Dynasty who have made an expedition here, especially those from the Central Plains and Northwest China.

Since the east entered Liaodong, in addition to battle casualties, a large number of diseases have also occurred among the Han army. The acclimatization of the soil and water is a problem that the army has to face in all previous battles. The soldiers are not only fighting the enemy, but also fighting the enemy. It is also fighting against the natural environment and climate.

Thanks to Dahan's perfect and thoughtful logistics support, the control of the disease is still in place. The military doctors and military medicine are well prepared, and even some doctors and doctors have been transferred from the Imperial Hospital for support.

Liaodong can also be regarded as a relatively mature civilized area, not a wild land, and the natural conditions are not so bad that it is difficult to overcome.

However, there are still real problems that need to be solved.It is precisely because of the difficulties and risks in all aspects that it was so easy to reach a consensus at the beginning of the camp, and they jointly signed a petition to request a rest for the troops.

Many things, the Emperor Liu and his ministers who were far behind could not have the most intuitive and profound understanding only through memorials and imagination.

Fortunately, Emperor Liu gave face and agreed to the invitation of the camp, giving the soldiers of the Liaodong army a chance to rest, and also giving the war-torn Liaodong people a chance to breathe.

Otherwise, no matter what, rush forward and continue to pursue and suppress the Liao army, and go deep into the Northeast, even if you can successfully defeat the remnants of the enemy and reap the victory, the price you will pay will not be small, and the soldiers will probably suffer untold hardships.It is advisable to use the remaining brave to chase the poor, but also depends on the specific situation.

Prince Liu Yang's previous strategy of appeasing Liaodong to Emperor Liu was gradually implemented after he received his consent. Of course, due to the short time, the effect was not obvious, and what really entered the implementation stage was only relief for the people of Liaodong.As for others, the time is still very short, and it is difficult to arrange many affairs in place, and there are no conditions for implementation.

It was less than [-] days since Liaoyang was recovered, and the Han army had actually only achieved military occupation of the entire Liaodong, and it was limited to some towns, and the political solicitation and appeasement had yet to be followed up.

In the entire Liaodong, except for those towns controlled by the Han army, the rest of the grassroots organizations were completely in a state of anarchy. The Han-Liao War completely destroyed the original grassroots rule of the Liao Kingdom.

The old ruling order has collapsed, and the new ruling order has not yet been rebuilt. Liaodong is in this chaotic stage.In such a situation, for the remaining Hu Han people in various parts of Liaodong, it was as if they were already in hell, and they had been stepped down a few more floors.

Although the direct war devastation came to an end, the unforgettable disasters it brought still continued.Famine is everywhere, epidemics are prevalent, bandits are rampant, and the crisis of survival has reached the most serious stage, and all people can only support themselves, struggling and living, with no hope in sight.

If there are no strong and effective measures, then it is certain that what the big man will get in the end is nothing but ruins.Liu Yang and Zhao Kuangyin saw this, and they also knew deeply that they must take action and correct it.

Therefore, during this period of time, Liu Yang, the commander-in-chief of the army, put down military affairs, and devoted all his energy to the affairs of governing Liaodong.

After so many years of dealing with the aftermath, Liu Yang is considered experienced, and this time is just a practical operation.Although it's a mess, it's still not overwhelmed. The situation has gotten to this point, and there's nothing more to worry about. There's always a clue among the many clues. Liu Yang clearly grasped the key to save the people. .

For the people of Liaodong who are waiting to be fed, there is nothing more tempting than a bite.To survive, this is just the most basic need, as long as it is met, it can achieve miraculous results.

And Liu Yang has the ability to implement, and the Han army has food. In troubled times, this is the biggest capital.In fact, since the conquest of Liaoyang, Liu Yang has been working on it. In the name of the Generalissimo of the Northern Expedition, he sent people to advertise the people of all ethnic groups in Liaodong, expressing the imperial court's attitude of appeasement and relief policy, and sent them to Liaoyang and Shenzhou. , Build a porridge field to relieve the hungry.

At the same time, while Zhao Kuangyin adjusted the army's defenses, he sent troops to the countryside to wipe out those bandits who were active among the people, at least to eliminate these unstable factors that directly disrupted public order.

For the people of Liaodong, the Liao Kingdom has been extremely disappointed because of its previous military aggression, conscription, and plundering of people's wealth and animal power.But the Han army will also not have any good feelings. Although the Han army is in the grand name of recovering the old rivers and mountains, it belongs to the invaders after all, and is the chief culprit for bringing them these disasters.

Therefore, it is also impossible to gain people's hearts simply and easily through the means of releasing relief.Of course, Liu Yang is not that simple. What he wants is to try his best to restore order, save more people in Liaodong, and save more vitality for Liaodong.The Han Dynasty wanted to rebuild its rule over Liaodong. In the final analysis, it was the people of all ethnic groups living in this land who ruled.What we focus on is also the future.

Due to the lack of trust, the Han army's rescue of the people did not have much effect at first. The situation where the hungry people swarmed in after an order did not happen.Even in the surrounding cities, it did not cause much repercussions.

Later, Liu Yang was tough and asked Zhao Kuangyin to send cavalry into the countryside to drive out the hungry people in Liaodong and go to Liaoyang and Shenzhou for food.After more than half a month, the situation of the Han army's food relief was confirmed, and the news spread, which had an effect.

For the Liaodong people who are on the verge of starvation, seeing hope, they have the motivation to pursue it. The desire for life is, after all, human instinct.Even if the Han army were tigers and wolves, even if the cities of Liaoshen and Shenyang were dragon pools and tiger dens, they would gather together to beg for food with the old and the young.

The food for relief is basically divided from the army rations, and the amount of relief is also strictly controlled. It is impossible to eat enough.In any case, the hundreds of thousands of troops raised in Liaodong will always be put first.

And disaster relief is not a temporary thing, it is a long-term work that needs to last for half a year or even a year, at least until Liaodong is reclaimed and cultivated and there is output.After the ravages of the war, it is not certain how many people are left in Liaodong, but even if there are only 200,000 people left, raising them for a year or so will put a lot of pressure on the imperial court's transshipment supply.

Therefore, Liu Yang couldn't help but not plan carefully.By August 27, the number of refugees and refugees who had gathered in Liaoyang and Shenzhou had reached more than [-]. There were so many mouths to feed, and it was not the end. There were still a large number of people in need of relief in the mountains and fields.

In order to prepare for the war, Yelu Xiezhen had squeezed Liaodong too hard. It was like scraping the land three feet, exhausting the water, and the consequences would naturally be borne by the big man, and he had to bear it.Perhaps, this is also one of Yelu Xiezhen's strategies for defending against the enemy. Even if Liaodong is lost, it will be a ruin. Any trouble or obstacle that can cause the Han army may be to strengthen the defense of the Liao army.

Therefore, in Liaoyang at the end of August, the contrast between the inside and the outside was obvious, the city was in order, and there was a lot of mourning outside the city.Along both sides of the Dongliang River, a large number of simple grass huts and wooden houses have been built. These are the habitats of beggars. They are messy. Although there are many people, there is not much vitality.

The hungry people took a bowl of hot porridge from the hands of the soldiers and officials who released the relief, and held it in both hands, with a look of joy and emotion on their distressed faces, which is basically impossible.

Looking around, there is only depression and silence. Of course, whenever the porridge is served, there will still be some waves.
