    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 593

    "How are you going to guard?"

    Yue Shan knew that Xilang Port was related to the back route of the Qinghe army going south, so he also attached great importance to the idea of ??patrolling and guarding thousands of generals.

    The general guarding a thousand men also bluntly said: "We have only a thousand soldiers capable of fighting. If we are defending Xilang Port and Xilang Town, they are too scattered and may be defeated individually."

    "And the opponent is a navy, so I want to give up Xilang Port and retreat to Xilang Town."

    Yue Shan also knew that their strength was stretched, because no one expected that the navy of the Southern Army would come back first.

    The Qinghe Army itself is a strong army rising from the land, so their inertial thinking is to focus most of their attention on the enemies on land.

    Although they also knew that the Southern Army had a navy, the Qinghe Army, a group of landlubbers, didn't know much about the navy. They thought it was just a few broken boats patrolling the river.

    Now hearing that hundreds of ships of the Southern Army full of soldiers rushed over mightily, Yue Shan realized that they had underestimated the enemy.

    But now the main force of the Qinghe Army is far away in the territory of Yancheng Mansion in Jiangnan Province, and there are really not many Qinghe Army troops near Xilang Port.

    Facing the enemy situation close at hand, Yue Shan, the money and grain transport manager, also knew that he had to stand up and help make plans and even command the battle.

    "I agree with your method of shrinking defenses."

    ? After the thousand generals of the defenders put forward their own ideas, Yue Shan expressed his support after thinking for a while.

    Rather than dispersing the troops in Xilang Port and Xilang Town, it is better to shrink together and make fists, which will be more powerful.

    Because if they want to defend both places, their strength is far from enough.

    Once the southern army and navy attack aggressively, maybe the two places will be unable to defend at that time.

    So they broke their wrists and decided to voluntarily abandon Xilang Port and retreat to Xilang Town.

    As long as the town is defended, as long as their main force arrives, they can launch a counterattack against the southern army and navy forces.

    However, if the town is lost, a steady stream of Southern Army troops may land from here, blocking the retreat of the Qinghe Army, and it will be difficult for them to regain it.

    "Master Yue, we are short of manpower now, and you have rich experience. I implore you to sit in Xilang Town."

    The Thousand Generals of the defenders were also promoted from the Hundred Generals two months ago. Although they proposed a strategy of shrinking defenses, they still had no idea.

    However, Yue Shan was the banner battalion commander of the first banner battalion of the 12th Banner Regiment, and led the army to many victories.

    When encountering serious enemy situation in Xilang Port, thousands of defenders immediately thought of Yueshan, hoping that he could help.

    "Why are you begging and not begging? Now that the enemy is pressing down on the border, how can I stand by and watch?"

    "But now I am the chief executive of transporting money and food, and you are the military chief here. You are responsible for the military, and I can assist you."

    "Then I would like to thank Master Yue."

    After the thousands of defenders received Yue Shan's answer, the stone hanging in their hearts fell to the ground.

    "You go to arrange it first, and I will go to the port terminal to deal with the prisoners of war."

    There are now more than 30,000 prisoners of war gathered in Xilang Port. They are now being used as coolies to help the Qinghe Army transport money and food.

    Now the navy troops of the Southern Army will arrive soon. Once these prisoners of war are left here, it will be a time bomb.

    Once these more than 30,000 prisoners of war attack the Qinghe Army in order to survive and be free, Xilang Port will not be able to defend without the Southern Army Navy attacking.

    When Yue Shan returned to Xilang Port, he saw densely packed prisoners of war carrying money and food. Under the supervision of some soldiers, everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

    But only Yue Shan knew that this place was about to become a battlefield, and these prisoners of war, who looked docile now, would turn into enemies if they were not handled well.

    "Call all the prisoners of war together!"

    Yue Shan called a subordinate officer over and asked him to quickly gather the prisoners of war, and he wanted to speak.

    "My lord, all the prisoners of war?" the subordinate officer asked puzzledly.

    "Yes, fast!"

    "No!"

    Although the subordinate officials didn't know what was going on, seeing Yue Shan's anxious appearance, he didn't dare to neglect and went quickly.It's gone.

    A piercing copper whistle sounded from the wharf of Xilang Port, and the busy prisoners of war were quickly gathered together.

    "Everyone, I'm Yue Shan, the general manager of the Qinghe army's money and food transportation!"

    Facing more than 30,000 prisoners of war assembled in a black mass, Yue Shan stood on the sentry tower, and everyone's eyes were on him.

    "We originally had no grievances or enmities, and when we fought on the battlefield, it was only for our own masters."

    "Now our money and food have almost been transported, and you are also very cooperative with us, so the general has an order and decided to let you go home and reunite with your wives and children."

    After hearing Yue Shan's words, the prisoners of war burst into loud cheers, and the officials responsible for the transportation of money and grain had just been informed by Yue Shan, and they stood there with helplessness on their faces.

    Without the approach of the southern army and navy, it would take a long time for these prisoners of war to regain their freedom.

    But now the Qinghe army's defenders are insufficient and unable to take care of the prisoners of war, so they decided to release them in advance to prevent them from becoming uncertain factors at that time.

    "Silence, silence!"

    Most of the prisoners of war served as soldiers just to eat food. They became captives of the Qinghe Army and surrendered because they didn't want to die.

    Moreover, the Qinghe army promised at the beginning that as long as they receive labor education well, they will be released if they perform well.

    It is precisely because of this that the prisoners of war will honestly work as coolies here to help transport money and food.

    The prisoners of war are not high-ranking officials, most of them are civilians, and they serve as soldiers for food, so they have no concept of loyalty.

    Now that Yue Shan announced that the Qinghe Army would release them and restore their freedom, they were naturally very happy.

    "You have also worked hard these days. When you leave, each of you can take a bag of food with you. This is our Qinghe army's thanks to you!"

    "I hope you will be good people when you go back, and stop helping the evildoers."

    "See if there are any boxes over there. Your names and hometown addresses have been registered. If you become enemies with our Qinghe Army in the future, we will show no mercy and kill you without mercy!"

    The prisoners of war had already been registered by the Qinghe Army when they were screened, so the Qinghe Army already had the handle.

    "Now go and get a bag of food yourself, and you can go."

    Because the Southern Army's navy arrived in no time, Yue Shan didn't dare to delay, and immediately ordered to declare the prisoners free.

    "Thank you, General Chen!"

    "Thank you sir!"

    "Thank you Qinghe Army!"

    Once the Far Eastern Dynasty fought as prisoners of war, most of them would be beheaded to claim credit, and some would be made slaves of wealthy nobles.

    Therefore, these prisoners of war always felt that they were finished, and lived in a state of anxiety. It was not until the Qinghe Army announced that they would not kill them, but let them recover their freedom after labor education, and their emotions settled down.

    Now that their freedom has been restored in advance, they are also grateful, and many of them even cried with excitement.

    When I became a soldier of the Southern Army, I was forced to conscript one out of three and two out of five, and I couldn¡¯t go home. Once I was caught as a deserter, I would die.

    Now they can go home and reunite, so they are full of gratitude to the Qinghe Army, and they are very happy now in their hearts.

    More than 30,000 prisoners of war quickly dispersed amidst the sound of thanks, and the bustling Xilang Port Wharf soon became empty.

    "My lord, they brought a lot of food, what if the superiors blame them?"

    The food piled up on many docks was distributed to the released prisoners of war, which made some officials worry.

    "You don't need to worry, when the time comes, I will be removed from my post, and I will definitely not implicate you."

    "Instead of handing over those grains to the enemy, let us buy prisoners of war. I believe the general will understand me." Yue Shan vowed.

    At such a critical moment, Yue Shan also went all out, and did things directly according to his own ideas without asking for instructions. Even if he was dismissed or executed at that time, he would admit it, because he had a clear conscience.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
