"Father, what should we do now?"
The Qinghe Army has now entered Jiangbei Province, threatening the Qin family's base camp, which naturally makes them restless.
"If we don't return quickly to help, it will be difficult to resist the bandits with the troops left behind."
"Once the Jiangbei province falls, we will become rootless, and the situation will become very bad."
Although Xiaoqi General Qin Chuan is old, he sees the problem sharply. Their lair must not be lost.
"But if we come back to aid, who will guard this place?" Qin Lie, the boss of the Qin family, asked.
Qin Lie became a prisoner of the Qinghe army during the Battle of Yingzui Peak Pass. Later, during the negotiations between the two sides, the Qinghe army released Qin Lie, and the civilian army took the initiative to give way.
Now if their 20th Corps of the People's Army returns to aid Jiangbei Province, then several prefectures and counties in the south of Luyang will have insufficient troops.
King Ning's troops are on the line of Yingzui Peak, and once the main force of the civilian army leaves, King Ning will definitely take advantage of it.
Qin Chuan is also regretting it now. If he stayed in Jiangbei province and didn't come to this muddy water, how could he lead to the current dilemma.
All blame myself for being too greedy, wanting to swallow several prefectures and counties in the south of Luyang to strengthen my own strength.
Who knew that in the battle with the Qinghe army, not to mention the casualties, now the Qinghe army has entered the Jiangbei province again, threatening the old nest.
Once he goes back by himself, the several prefectures and counties in the south of Luyang will definitely not be able to keep it. He is quite embarrassed now.
"Anyway, we can't keep it, let's give up these prefectures and counties."
General Xiaoqi Qin Chuan was quite decisive, knowing that with their current strength, they would not be able to hold such a large territory.
Instead of focusing on one thing and losing another when the time comes, it is better to take the initiative to give up these prefectures and counties, and go back to keep the base camp first.
"Father, I'm not reconciled to just handing over these prefectures to King Ning!" Qin Hai said with a face full of reluctance.
Qin Chuan couldn't help sighing and said: "There is nothing we can do if we are not reconciled, who made us short of troops now."
"Send down the order to take away all the things in these prefectures and counties, and destroy what you can't take away. Don't leave it to King Ning!"
Although Qin Chuan was unwilling to withdraw from several prefectures and counties in the south of Luyang, he did not want to give up to King Ning in vain.
"No!"
Following Qin Chuan's order, the 20th Corps of the People's Army, which occupied several prefectures and counties in the south of Luyang, immediately took action.
The 20th Corps of the People's Army received Qin Chuan's order to strengthen the walls and clear the fields, and carried out a sweeping plunder of the local area.
Groups of militia soldiers in hard-wearing uniforms broke into the mansions of the rich and powerful squires and started looting.
"What are you doing, do you want to rebel?!"
These wealthy squires were also prominent figures in the local area, and they were also furious when faced with the militia soldiers who suddenly broke into their mansions.
"We need money and food to suppress thieves, let's borrow some temporarily!"
Facing the wealthy gentry who were shouting to stop them, the murderous militia officer showed his knife viciously.
"But"
"There is nothing but, if money and food are not given to the army of the imperial court, do you want to subsidize the bandit army?"
In the face of these militia soldiers with fierce faces, the wealthy gentry, although they are well-known in the local area, can only eat Coptis chinensis in silence, unable to express their suffering.
After the militia soldiers robbed the rich and powerful families, they quickly extended their hands to ordinary people.
Several prefectures and counties in the south of Luyang trembled under the swords of the civilian army, and countless towns were burning with raging flames.
Whenever encountering obstacles, the militia soldiers did not explain, and directly swung their knives to kill people, causing these prefectures and counties to be like hell for a while, which was horrible.
After the 20th Corps of the People's Army looted a large amount of money and food, General Qin Chuan of Xiaoqi was worried that the Qinghe Army would sweep the Jiangbei Province, so he led his troops to leave in a hurry.
When the cavalry unit led by Prince Ning's son Long Jun learned that the 20th Corps of the People's Army had abandoned several prefectures and counties in the south of Luyang and led the troops to take over, what they saw was a piece of scorched earth.
"Qin Chuan, this old bastard, really deserves to die!"
Long Jun thought that Qin Chuan could rush back to the reinforcements, and they easily took over several prefectures and counties in the south of Luyang.
But when they arrived here, they saw ruins everywhere, and many villages were directly burned to ruins.
Facing such a miserableIn this scene, Long Jun couldn't help yelling, feeling that the 20th Corps of the People's Army was too useless.
"His Royal Highness, what about those refugees?"
What Long Jun and the others occupy now is nothing but a piece of scorched earth and countless ragged refugees who lost their homes.
Facing the large number of refugees surrounding the ruins, Long Jun also felt a headache.
If they don't care about these refugees, once they are extremely hungry, they will soon form a mob, and several counties in the south will encounter another catastrophe.
However, if they distribute food to the refugees, they will also lose a lot of military food.
Thinking of the 20th Corps of the People's Army that caused all this, Long Jun now wished he could fly to Jiangbei Province and slaughter them.
"Send troops to deport the refugees to Jiangbei Province, and let them go to the Qin family to beg for food."
Long Jun was naturally not willing to take out his military rations to help the refugees, nor was he willing to let them stay here to affect public security.
Therefore, Long Jun directly treated him in his own way, and sent troops to drive the refugees from several counties in the south to Jiangbei Province, and asked them to find the culprit, Qin Chuan.
Soon, the cavalry unit under Long Jun's command took action and drove a group of refugees who had lost their homes and cried to the neighboring Jiangbei Province.
In order to prevent these refugees from turning back again and affecting the order in several southern counties, Long Jun even deployed heavy troops in the border area.
Although it was only a few days, for the refugees in several prefectures and counties in the south of Luyang Province, it undoubtedly experienced a catastrophe.
They are now not only homeless and refugees, but also facing hunger and disease.
The war made these common people the victims of the game of various forces. For those who are superior, they don't feel anything, but for these thousands of refugees, it undoubtedly changed their lives.
When these refugees were homeless and struggling for life and death, the shadow of the Hades reappeared.
These Hades Cultists went deep into the refugees to spread their teachings. As long as you join them, you can have food.
For the refugees struggling in dire straits, it doesn't matter what religion they join if they can have a bite to eat.
Therefore, the incidents that happened in the southern part of Luyang Province in the past few days, on the contrary, indirectly allowed the Underworld Fire Sect to take advantage of the fisherman who was hiding in the dark.
In just a few days, Minghuo Cult has developed more than 50,000 believers among these refugees, established a sub-helm, and formed a force of tens of thousands of people.
Although this army is composed of young and strong refugees, and its combat effectiveness is not strong, a new force is quietly rising. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
