The King of Fortune

Chapter 138
Xiqi and Han Rong led an army to besiege for three days, and there was no movement in the city, but the defense of the four cities was tightened, and each city had [-] to [-] soldiers.Seeing this, Han Rong knew that Jiang Ziya planned to fight a war of attrition with him, so he began to fortify the wall and clear the field.

Xiqi City is rich, and there are tens of thousands of people living around it. The people are the foundation of the country. The existence of these small people has enriched the princes and nobles in the city, but they don't know the importance of these small people.

If all the 10,000+ people are moved to Wuguan, the national power of Xiqi will be weakened, while the national power of Dashang will be strengthened, one will rise and the other will rise, no matter how powerful a country is, it will not be able to withstand such a toss.

Because of the huge migration population, Han Rong sent 5 troops, and the remaining 23 troops still besieged Xiqi City.

"What are you doing, you bandits, god damn it, put down that bag of grain!"

"Aunt Liu, what are they going to do?"

"My old hen is gone, why is it missing!"

Under the watchful eyes of more than a dozen soldiers armed with knives and guns, the village was in chaos.

There was no way, that man had a good temper, he was soft-spoken, and it took a lot of effort to convince a few villagers.

The scene in the neighboring village was even more chaotic. One of the soldiers accidentally injured someone while arguing with the villagers. statement.

The young general in charge of this work is gone, so he can only report this matter to Zhao Sheng.

Zhao Sheng rushed forward with hundreds of soldiers, and his momentum overwhelmed the group of strong men with wooden sticks and hoes in their hands.Seeing that the scene was out of control, Zhao Sheng frowned, and said loudly: "It's all reversed, you put down your weapons quickly, or you will be killed."

"General, we didn't make any mistakes. Why did you drive us away? Folks have lived here for generations. This is our home. How do we live when we leave home?"

One of them, a bearded old man with a cane, stepped forward. He was a representative of the villagers.

Zhao Sheng said, "I don't know the old man. The imperial court and Xiqi are about to fight. At that time, once the war burns here, there will be no tiles left. My Shuai Han also let you move out for your safety."

Han Shuai said, courtesy first and soldiers later.Zhao Sheng regarded Han Rong as a god, so he dared to go against his will, otherwise, according to Zhao Sheng's temper, he would kill a few people to stand up, and ensure that the villagers are more honest than dead mice.

The old man obviously couldn't understand, and said: "You fight your battles, we are here to make a living, we have nothing to do with each other, why do we have to move?"

"Yes, we will not move, you are soldiers and horses of the imperial court, you can't control Xiqi!"

"I don't think they can take down Xiqi City, but they vent their anger on us people. Everyone listen to my advice and resolutely don't step out of this village. Let's see what they can do with us."

In the crowd, there was a lot of response, and the crowd was passionate.It is difficult to move their homeland. They are the people of Xiqi, they are only loyal to Zhou, and have no sense of belonging to Yin and Shang. After hearing about the tyranny of King Zhou, wouldn't it be miserable to go to Wuguan.

Zhao Sheng's complexion sank, and he didn't bother to explain to the old man who didn't care about anything. He called the young general who was in charge of the village to him, and told him, "You're limited to two hours. Empty all the things you can bring here. Otherwise, I will take you as a question."

The little general said: "General, these villagers are not old-fashioned, and the villain can't kill them all, so I ask the general to give me a trick."

Zhao Sheng said in a deep voice: "If they don't leave, it's easy to deal with. You burn their homes down and see what else they can miss. If you can't carry the food, you ask these soldiers to help carry it. In short, God Ben will see the results before it gets dark."

The young general's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "Thank you, General, for your guidance."

Zhao Sheng waved his hand and snorted, "Use your brains when you do things, and use both soft and hard methods. I wouldn't believe that I can't handle these troublemakers!"

The young general said: "Yes, the general taught me the lesson."

When the old man heard the words, his face was worried, and he went to beg Zhao Sheng, but was stopped.

……

"Han Shuai's method is still good. The relocation work is proceeding in an orderly manner. According to this progress, the people near Xiqi City will be evacuated within three to five days at most. At that time, it is time to move to the attached city."

This time, Han Sheng was the main general and Zhao Sheng was the second-in-command. For a rough man like Zhao Sheng, doing this kind of thing was not easy, but Han Rong called his name personally, no matter how big the difficulty was, he had to overcome it.

Although Zhao Sheng has a rough temper, there are subtleties in the rough. When encountering things that he can't solve, he will respond to Han Sheng as soon as possible.

Han Sheng said: "This matter should not be rushed. My father said that Jiang Ziya will never sit still and wait for death with this move. Just wait. I'm afraid there will be a big battle with Xiqi in the past few days."

The more books he reads, the more Han Sheng can understand the essence of this strategy, which makes people applaud.I thought that in the past half a year, with my father's experience in several battles, I have accumulated a wealth of combat experience, and what I have learned from ancient books, I have gradually moved closer to my father, but now it seems that there is still a big difference.

Zhao Sheng was shocked, and said with a smile: "Han Shuai said there will be a war, so there must be a war!"

Regarding the ability to predict wars, Han Rong has always been accurate in his words, and all the generals are convinced.

"General Zhao, during the relocation process, the military and civilians are mixed. It is difficult to guarantee that no one will take the opportunity to commit crimes. Please spread the word more. Once found together, they will be executed immediately. These people who migrated to Wuguan are the people of my big merchant. As a big merchant Soldiers, we must ensure their safety."

Zhao Sheng's heart trembled at Han Sheng's words. He nodded and said, "Don't worry, General Han. Even if Zhao doesn't sleep, he still has to monitor this matter, so as not to ruin the reputation of the army."

Han Sheng glanced at him, and then said: "Everyone is watching during the day, I'm afraid no one dares to commit crimes, but it's uncertain at night. After all, there are limited soldiers to escort the people, so General Zhao may arrange two groups of people, one group is in charge. During the day, one group is in charge of the night, and the two groups take turns alternating, so that those people will be afraid and dare not mess around."

Zhao Sheng said: "Zhao understands."

"Come on, let's go over there and see."

To relocate 10,000+ people to Wuguan, it takes nearly a hundred miles to walk alone. The difficulty is not small. Under Han Rong's instructions, Han Sheng divided into three batches of relocation, each batch of 6 to [-] people. The guards are firstly responsible for maintaining order, and secondly responsible for eating and drinking for tens of thousands of people.

Zhao Sheng nodded and walked side by side with Han Sheng.On the way, Han Sheng always patiently answered Zhao Sheng's questions that he didn't understand.
