    After a few more days of walking, we were getting closer to the coast of the West Sea.  Since the last time the Sixth Prince of the Xihai Kingdom led a surprise attack on the imperial army, and returned with a huge defeat, with only a few stragglers escaping, the imperial army had not encountered any obstacles on their way westward.

    However, with the military wisdom of Daiyu and Situ Zhuo, they were able to keenly detect the strangeness inside.

    Situ Zhuo then said to Dai Yu: "Yu'er, don't you think it's strange? Logically speaking, the Ministry of Health should send someone to deal with us."

    Daiyu naturally thought of this, and said: "General Wei's headquarters is probably besieged, or the Xihai National Army knows another way to bypass the imperial army's defense line." If not, the last time the Xihai National Army sneak attacked the imperial army, it stands to reason that  There is no reason for the Ministry of Health not to stop it.

    Situ Zhuo said: "I hope we are trapped, so at least we will still have troops available when we reach the coast of the West Sea. If the generals of the Wei army have been annihilated, our 50,000-strong army will be tired of traveling and traveling, and we will attack with all our strength against the West Sea national army. The chance of victory is not good."  .¡±

    Daiyu was riding on a horse, looking up into the distance, and saw a vast expanse of white. She suddenly thought that the vast expanse of white land mentioned in the original book was really clean.  He smiled and said, "Let's go. We'll find out when we get to the edge of the West Sea."

    After two days of walking, we passed through the Gobi and reached a place with a town.  Because it was winter, large-scale battles were suspended, but the people in the city did not dare to slack off, and there were sentries watching outside the city gate.  I heard that the imperial army had arrived, and soldiers had already come out of the city to greet them.

    Situ Zhuo led his army into the city and ordered the soldiers to camp and repair. He immediately summoned the defenders and local officials.

    This city is not big, and it also serves a military purpose, so many of the people in the city are retired soldiers and their families, plus some businessmen trapped here, plus some northwest aborigines.

    While Situ Zhuo went to understand the situation in the city, Daiyu commanded the soldiers to find an open area and sent heavy troops to guard the food and grass. She also sent out a few newly trained cronies to make a secret explanation. The cronies and scouts all nodded in agreement and went about their business.  .  As Daiyu commanded the cavalry to resolve the army's dilemma last time, the princess's prestige in the army became higher and higher.  Now Daiyu gives orders, and no one refuses to obey.

    Xiangyu saw Daiyu guarding the food and grass as if guarding against thieves, and asked in confusion: "Isn't this the imperial court's own city? Why is the princess so careful?"

    Daiyu said: "When we entered the city, did my sister see that the city was quite lively?"

    Speaking of this, Xiangyu was also very surprised and said: "I heard from my father that the northwest is deserted and the towns are not big. Before entering the city, I didn't expect that there are so many people in a small town."

    Daiyu said: "Not all of them are from the city, because this city is located at the east end of the northwest. Many people who fled the war fled to the city, so there were many people. In the winter, the wars are the most miserable for the people. Even if they flee the famine, they don't dare to  Travel through the desert in winter. If you encounter a shortage of food and clothing in other seasons, you can huddle together at night to avoid freezing, and you can also hunt to supplement your food. Not only is it difficult to hunt in winter, but without clothes and cover, you will not be able to spend the night in the wilderness.  , so many refugees are crowded here. These refugees who have little food will inevitably have evil thoughts when they see the imperial army bringing a large amount of supplies."

    Xiang Yu said: "They are all from the Great Ling Dynasty. They have suffered from the war, so it is not too much to want to get some food. But how can ordinary people dare to think about military rations?"

    Daiyu said: "One or two people naturally don't dare. If someone incites it, then they will dare if there are more people. Besides, when a widow or a widowed mother comes to the gate of the military camp with a skinny child to beg for food, will we give it to you? If so,  If you give it, people all over the city and even people outside will hear it and come to ask for food; if you don¡¯t give it, the crying and grabbing people outside will also cause the people to riot.  Robbery. They are all the people of the Great Ling Dynasty. Do you really want to kill them? If you really kill them, it will be in line with the wishes of the people of Xihai."

    Xiang Yu and Xue Yan couldn¡¯t help but sigh.  Although the two of them were not as noble as Daiyu and had a slave status, they had not suffered much since childhood, and they were increasingly reluctant to see hungry people.  It's just that what Daiyu said makes sense. Since we are marching and fighting, we must think carefully and not mess up our plans just because we can't bear it for a moment.

    Xiangyu sighed and said: "It's really hard on the people. I hope the imperial army can win in one fell swoop this time and avoid future troubles."

    Daiyu smiled bitterly and nodded.

    At that time, it was already rare to be able to march and fight without disturbing the people. We did not dare to expect the same kind of harmony between the army and the people as in later generations.

    While a few people were talking, they heard someone say that refugees had surrounded the military camp and were begging for food outside.

    Xiangyu and Xueyan both had a trace of nervousness on their faces. They both looked at Daiyu and asked, "Princess, what should we do?"

    Daiyu said: "Go on, no matter what the situation, no one is allowed to break in." The soldier who sent the orderI don't know whether the government is alive or dead, so I dare not speak out if I dare to be angry.

    After the disaster relief matter was settled, Daiyu discussed with Situ Zhuo: "Your Majesty, although these wealthy gentry people did not dare to do anything when we were in the city, we have to set off. When we go to the front line, we will not be able to do without these  People are acting like monsters again. Why don't we replace the city's defenders with the imperial army."

    Situ Zhuo understood what Daiyu meant as soon as he heard it, and said: "Excellent. Even if people have bad intentions, they can disperse the garrison in the city into a large army. Once it is diluted to a team of 50,000 people, they will do it."  Nothing will happen. As for the imperial garrison, it will be enough to leave a thousand or so soldiers from the soldiers we brought. With these people, the rich and powerful peasants will not dare to dominate and embarrass the people after we set off.  .

    In addition, now that we have a good reputation, we can take the opportunity to recruit troops.  Some of these poor refugees are young and strong. If they are willing to join the army, we will also recruit them.  Earning a penny of military pay with the imperial army is no better than being bullied here. In this way, we can also replenish some of our troops.  "

    Daiyu nodded, and the two began to make plans, and then ordered their cronies to do it.

    The imperial army began to recruit troops in the city and make rosters. On the third day, Situ Zhuocai took those who had been arrested to stir up trouble and went to the county government office.

    There are also official residences in the county government. These wealthy businessmen and squires did not suffer any physical or physical pain, but the mental torture was sufficient.  By the time Situ Zhuo went to the Yamen, these squires had already had several quarrels and were divided.

    Situ Zhuo still had a cold face and asked calmly: "I may not believe you when you say you are loyal to the court. You must show your sincerity to make me believe you. Tell me what you have done."

    How to put it this way, in a place like this where the mountains are high, the emperor is far away and the people are strong, there are a lot of things that can be done for the rich.  In addition to inciting refugees to embarrass the imperial army, there are naturally other things.

    But those who can get rich in such an environment must be both clever and ruthless, or at least the same, so at first no one was willing to say anything, and they all said that they were law-abiding.

    Situ Zhuo was not in a hurry, and directly told everyone his decision to recruit local defenders to go to the west coast, leave the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp to guard the city, and leave the city tomorrow.  Then he said slowly: "Since you all obey the law and abide by the law, you will surely be able to do so in the future. I will go back and give the order to set off."

    Putting the place directly on the ground, all the armed forces from the Beijing camp are left. Isn't these gentlemen and rich households on the cutting board?  This prince is ruthless in what he does, so damn ruthless.

    Finally, a few wealthy businessmen who were not as powerful as Mr. Ma said: "I recruit"

    Mr. Ma knew that if the court pursued him, he would be the most guilty, so he coughed threateningly.

    "The prefect of the Qing Dynasty received one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver in three years" comes from "The Scholars" of the Qing Dynasty. According to the timeline, this sentence does not exist in the current era of Red Mansions, but since it is fictitious, I will quote it.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
