Datang's strongest super god army

Chapter 87

Chapter 87

After confirming that Xin Zhicheng was really a member of the Black Dragon Army, the long spear "Yanglang" held by the guarding soldier fell to the ground with a sound.Afterwards, he collapsed and sat on the ground, crying loudly, "Brothers! The Black Dragon Army is here! General Chen is here to save us!"

Before Xin Zhicheng could ask any more questions, the guarding soldier closed his eyes and fell down.

Stepping forward to support the man, Xin Zhicheng probed the guard's breath, and after confirming that the man was still alive, he felt relieved.

Hearing this cry, several city guards who had been hiding behind the city gate pulled open the heavy city gate with all their strength.

As early as when the guarding soldier shouted, Chen Qiao outside the city gate had already heard it. He was greatly puzzled, and then saw the city gate in front of him, followed by a "squeak" sound. It was opened from the inside.

"General Chen!"

After opening the city gate, more than a dozen defenders knelt down towards Chen Qiao.

Seeing that everyone in front of him looked pale and emaciated, Chen Qiao was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to help one of them up.

"What happened in the city?"

Chen Qiao supported the man and asked.

"General Chen, the Goryeo people are wolfish and ambitious. They have besieged Liaocheng Prefecture for several months. There is no food left in the city. We and the people hope day and night that His Majesty will send troops to rescue us!"

"But there are no Koreans outside the city."

Chen Qiao couldn't help frowning.

The man said weakly: "This morning, Huang San on the tower saw the Koreans retreating, but we didn't know if there was any fraud in it, so we didn't dare to go out. We never thought that it was General Chen who led the Black Dragon Army! "

Seeing that the person he was supporting was already crumbling, Chen Qiao immediately ordered someone to carry him down.

"Liaocheng Prefecture has been under siege for several months, why did His Majesty only receive the report half a month ago?"

Chen Qiao frowned and looked at Qin Qiong who was beside him, but saw that the other party also frowned.

"It seems that the Protectorate of Gewu Prefecture..."

Qin Qiong looked at Chen Qiao while talking, but didn't say the rest.

"Wu Ye!"

"grown ups."

Seeing the situation in the city, Chen Qiao hurriedly called Wu Ye over.

"Is there enough food and salary for this expedition?"

"Adult, do you want to distribute food to the people?"

Chen Qiao nodded, "If the soldiers guarding the city are so weak, let alone the people in the city, you will immediately lead thousands of battalions to go door to door to distribute food to the people."

"Yes!"

Every time the Black Dragon Army goes on an expedition, the household department always prepares far more food for them than they need. In the past, a lot of food had to be transported back to the capital, but it seems that this time it is unnecessary.

However, what they didn't expect was that the situation of the people in the city was much better than they had imagined.

"Xu Duhu opened the government's granary and distributed food to us every day!"

Many people said so.

"My lord, it seems that Xu Duhu is a good official."

Wu Ye said to Chen Qiao with emotion.

Chen Qiao pondered for a moment, then asked Wu Ye to continue distributing food, and then went to Duhu Mansion alone.

Walking outside the Duhu mansion, Chen Qiao heard whimpering, Chen Qiao hurriedly walked in, but saw that the mansion was covered with white banners, and a coffin was placed in the center of the main hall.

"General Chen?"

Hearing someone coming in, the butler of the Duhu Mansion originally wanted to drive him out, but when he saw the black tiger following behind Chen Qiao, his eyes were red and hesitantly called out.

"This is……"

"General Chen, this is the guardian of our family."

Chen Qiao frowned. When he asked about the common people just now, the common people didn't seem to know about it.

As if seeing Chen Qiao's doubts, the butler said with red eyes, "This coffin was prepared by my family's guard early in the morning. Before the guard left, he was afraid that the news of his death would cause chaos in the city. Know."

"I don't know why Xu Duhu..."

"My family is starving to death..."

As the butler said, he couldn't restrain the pain in his heart anymore, and the tears he held back finally stayed.

Hearing what the housekeeper said, Chen Qiao couldn't help being shocked. What kind of person can still serve the people wholeheartedly under such circumstances?
Chen Qiao looked at the heavy coffin in the hall, feeling very heavy in his heart.

"I'm going to protect Xu Du with a stick of incense." Chen Qiao patted the butler on the shoulder.

After incense, Chen Qiao took a look around the Duhu mansion, and found that everyone in the mansion had the same expressions as the guards who had just seen the city. It was presumably that Xu Duhu distributed most of the food to the people, which made the Both the Duhufu and the soldiers defending the city were in danger due to food shortages.

After leaving the Duhu Mansion, Chen Qiao sent the Black Dragon Army soldiers to deliver the freshly cooked rice porridge to the Duhu Mansion.

Only then did the common people finally know that the governor of Liaozhou city starved to death in order to feed them.

The people of the whole city went to the Duhu Mansion in groups of three or four. Standing outside the Duhu Mansion, the common people couldn't help crying when they looked at the gate of the mansion where the white lanterns were hung at some time.

What followed was monstrous anger. If it wasn't for the Koreans besieging the city, why would they have to go through such a thing!

"General Chen! The Koreans are devoid of conscience! The general must avenge Xu Duhu!"

"Yes! General Chen! We must avenge Xu Duhu!"

The people who left from the Protectorate's Mansion went to the place where the Black Dragon Army was stationed one after another. All the people were excited, and they only hoped that Chen Qiao would be able to send troops immediately.

"Everyone calm down!"

Chen Qiao raised his hands and pressed down, and then said: "The Koreans committed such a crime, I will not let them go! But, before that, is there anyone in the city who has relatives and friends living in Gewi Prefecture?"

Hearing Chen Qiao's question, the people looked at each other left and right. After a while, someone finally raised his hand and said loudly: "General Chen! My brother's wife's sister is currently living in Gewu Prefecture!"

Hearing someone's response, Chen Qiao immediately asked the Black Dragon Army soldiers to bring them over, and then persuaded the people to go home.

"Does your brother's wife still hang out with her sister?"

The man nodded and said, "My brother and sister have a deep relationship with her elder sister, and they will get together every now and then. In these years, only the few months when they were besieged by Goryeo have no contact."

Chen Qiao stroked his chin and pondered for a moment, then said: "So, you will ask your brother to bring his wife to meet me at the Black Dragon Army camp tomorrow, and I have something to ask her."

"Why don't the general ask now?" the man asked suspiciously.

Chen Qiao smiled and said: "Although you have enough food every day, you have been starving and frightened for several months. How can your younger siblings be weak women? How can you bear it? Rest at home today, and spend the day tomorrow. Just come."

Hearing what Chen Qiao said, the man first responded, then scratched the back of his head and said: "My younger brother and sister are not weak girls, neither my brother nor Orion are her opponents."

After speaking, seeing that Chen Qiao had no intention of changing his mind, he got up and left the camp.

"The general wants to inquire about the situation in the city of Gewa Prefecture first?"

Chen Qiao nodded with deep eyes, and turned to Qin Qiong who asked himself.

"Second Brother Qin, do you think there will be something abnormal in the city of Wuzhou?"

Qin Qiong thought for a while, but finally shook her head, "The situation is unknown now, and I can't say for sure."

Hearing what Qin Qiong said, and thinking of the report that arrived late, Chen Qiao couldn't help but let out a sigh. I'm afraid the situation in Gewuzhou is not optimistic.

After that, the two looked at each other, and both saw deep worry in each other's eyes.

"General, the King of Korea has really sinister intentions this time. If His Majesty hadn't been reported, I'm afraid we still don't know what happened here."

"Second Brother Qin, if it were you, what would you do after besieging Liaocheng Prefecture for a few months?"

Qin Qiong pondered for a moment, and then said: "If it were me, then I would place internal support in the city. When the people ran out of food and lost patience, they would incite the court to disregard the people's life and death. After the people believed it was true, I would withdraw the troops and send the people away. Let them out, as long as the common people spread the news of Liaocheng prefecture, it won't be long..."

Qin Qiong didn't say the rest of the words, but the two people present couldn't understand it in their hearts.

Once the news of Liaozhou City is spread, it may not take too long for the hearts of the local people to fluctuate, and a little provocation at that time may cause even greater chaos.
