Chapter 142 Chapter 142
The generals couldn't help but think of an old incident.

At that time, Song Qingzhai was only a small lieutenant general, and most of them were already working under him, but their positions were lower.

Song Qingzhai defended the city with the general, but the general was headstrong and refused to listen to advice.

At that time when soldiers were approaching the city, the general insisted on going his own way, wanting to open the city to a showdown with the opponent. As a result, all the [-] soldiers brought out of the city became dead under the sword.

Song Qingzhai led people to defend the lonely city.

The enemy army cut off their food roads, cut off their water sources, their bows and arrows were used up, and the logs and stones were smashed clean, but they still defended the city.

Because once their city falls, not only the people in the city will suffer, but the enemy army will also drive straight in and attack our fortress.

After being trapped for more than a month, there was not a grain of food left in the army, and all the horses were slaughtered and eaten. The people in the city were miserable, and there was even a tragedy of cannibalism.

Under the shadow of huge hunger, some people even wanted to surrender in Kaesong.

Seeing that a riot was inevitable, Song Qingzhai ordered people to let out the wind and lead the common people into a rich merchant. In fact, at that time, all the families with any family background had been looted by the hungry common people who lost their minds.

But in the midst of boundless despair, even a spark can become a fire of hope.

At the same time, the enemy army was in chaos outside the city, and everyone in the city shouted "reinforcements are coming, reinforcements are coming".

The common people entered the rich merchants and found that there was only a little food, but the news of the arrival of the reinforcements relieved their anxiety. (That little bit of food was obtained by Song Qingzhai's subordinates accidentally digging a mouse hole.)
And the so-called reinforcements were the ones that Song Qingzhai had quietly sent out before. There were only twenty of them, but because it was a surprise attack and they burned the enemy's luggage, it did cause immeasurable losses to the opponent.

Song Qingzhai led people to rush out again, and arranged for people to plant banners all over the surrounding hills, creating the illusion that a large number of reinforcements had arrived.

Finally, the enemy was driven back fifty miles to set up camp.

Song Qingzhai seized a lot of spoils, including food.

The urgent need was solved.

In that battle, many soldiers did not die on the battlefield, but died of hunger.I have been hungry for many days, and I don't even have the strength to wield a weapon!

It's like a brand that will never fade away in the hearts of everyone.

Now thinking of the tragedy of that day, everyone understands why Song Qingzhai reacted so strongly, so the attitude of admitting his mistake is more sincere.

Guo Shun took the opportunity to say: "Our county lord originally prepared a lot of new farm tools, which are easier to use and more efficient than the old ones.

"We also raised a lot of mules, horses and cattle to replace manpower, but because of the small number of manpower, the number cannot be increased. If the general king can send someone here..."

Hu Lie was the first to say: "Don't dare to say too much, I will send 3000 people first! If you don't have enough, you can talk, and you can send more people!"

Guo Shundui laughed: "It's not necessary now, because we only sorted out a few hundred acres of land in the early stage, and we can take care of it ourselves."

This is a soft nail, we can cultivate hundreds of acres of land with such a small number of people, if you send people early, tens of thousands of acres will come out!
Hu Lie was careless, but he didn't hear the implication, he just said: "Then when you need manpower, just tell me!"

The rest of the generals even heard it, but they just didn't hear it, and expressed their opinions one after another.

Guo Shun was satisfied, and finally said: "Our county lord said that land reclamation is not done casually. It is best to get the topographic map here, plan it carefully, and don't deforestation indiscriminately."
