Looking at the people kneeling on the ground on both sides of the road, Long Xiao felt very uncomfortable, and the same was true for Long Ningshuang who was by Long Xiao's side.

After walking for a long time, he finally arrived at the county government office in Yuping City.

The county government office has become a ruin, and the body of the county magistrate is still hanging at the gate of the county government office.

He was stripped naked, with hideous whip marks all over his body.

There was no good piece of whole meat on his body.

Long Xiao only felt distressed, his eyes were full of unbearable, he hurriedly ordered someone to take down the county magistrate's body and bury it generously.

The army had to rest and deploy defenses in the city. In order not to disturb the people, most of the soldiers set up camp outside the city. Only a small number of people entered the city to appease the people and restore order.

The common people seemed to have been hungry for a long time, Long Xiao ordered to take out part of the army rations to serve porridge for the common people.

His armaments were provided by Li An, and Li An was worried about the war in the northern border, and he provided enough food and grass while providing equipment.

He no longer trusts anyone in the court, it's not that he doesn't trust the old emperor, but he is worried that the old emperor will be deliberately covered by treacherous officials.

When serving the porridge, Long Xiao found that the people who came to receive the porridge were only rickety old people, and young and innocent children, and they couldn't see even a young man or a woman.

Long Xiao stopped an old man serving porridge, "Old man, please stay."

The old man looked back at Long Xiao numbly, and knelt on the ground: "I have seen the general."

"Old man, what about the young and strong and the women and their relatives in this city?"

Hearing this, the old man's hands trembled, the bowl fell to the ground, and the hot porridge spilled all over the floor.

Tears blurred the old man's vision, and his voice was choked up, unable to utter a complete syllable.

Long time, long time.

The old man calmed down a little, and spoke to Long Xiao in a sobbing voice.

"Report to the general, all the young and strong men in the city were stripped naked by the Rong people, tied their necks with ropes and took them away as if they were livestock.

All the women in the city were... ruined by these beasts!

They ruined people and even beheaded them, and the female relatives who survived could not bear the humiliation and committed suicide.

They not only kidnapped our young and strong, ruined our female relatives, but also slaughtered our children.

The children that the general could see were all hidden in advance, so they escaped by luck.

Not only that, this group of beasts of the Rong tribe would capture and slaughter hundreds of people every day! "

As he spoke, the old man knocked Long Ningshuang respectfully, leaning his forehead on the ground, and said in grief: "If the general hadn't beaten the Rong people away, I'm afraid these children would also be caught by the Rong people and slaughtered for fun." !

General, in the territory of Yuping City, except for the living people in this city, all the villages have become extinct! "

"General, the Rong people are hateful!" the old man hoarse, his fists drooping down on his skinny chest.

He wished he could be dozens of years younger, then he would have to go into battle with a knife and kill all these beasts!

"Pa-ta, pa-ta~" Long Ningshuang wiped the corners of her eyes with her hands in a daze, and she looked at Long Xiao in confusion.

She felt that she was already very strong, even though so many comrades in arms died in front of her, she never shed tears, she just gritted her teeth to suppress the grief in her heart.

Why now...

Chapter 203 New equipment is about to arrive on the battlefield

Long Xiao also bit his lips tightly, his fists were clenched white, and his eyes were full of grief and indignation.

He didn't expect the Rong people to be so cruel. This group of people can no longer be called human beings, they are simply a group of animals without humanity!

Long Xiao clasped his fists and bent over, his face full of shame.

"Old man, we are late!"

Seeing this, the two deputy commanders on the left and right were a little surprised, and immediately stared at Long Xiao with disgust and contempt.

Long Xiao, who commanded the army of the Northern Expedition, actually apologized to a commoner, and he humiliated the entire Northern Expedition army!

Isn't it just the common people whose lives are worthless, and they die when they die, so they need to be cherished so much?

Seeing this, the old man looked terrified: "General, what are you doing? The grassroots can't afford such a big gift.

General, if you didn't drive away the Rong people, the one who might be captured and beheaded by the Rong people for fun tomorrow would be an old man! "

……

In the middle of the night, the city fell into silence, only sporadic fires in the barracks.

Long Xiao walked out of the tent, walked outside the camp, and found Long Ningshuang on a hilltop.

Holding the wine jar in one hand, Long Ningshuang was drinking alone. In front of her was the burial site of her comrades who died in battle today.

"Can't sleep?" Long Xiao sat beside Long Ningshuang.

Long Ningshuang nodded, and immediately took a sip of wine: "Father, my daughter only regrets that I didn't kill a few more beasts of the Rong tribe today!"

Long Xiao stretched out his hand and patted Long Ningshuang's shoulder: "Your actions are right. The scouts came to report that there are [-] troops of the Rong tribe dozens of miles outside Yuping City. If you chase them out, you will definitely be killed." They were ambushed.

You can't be depressed yet, in a few days, the Rong people should launch a counterattack! "

Hearing this, a flash of determination flashed in Long Ningshuang's eyes, which were filled with strong killing intent.

"Father, we just won this battle miserably, but my daughter will definitely give you a big victory in the next battle!" Long Ningshuang bit her lip lightly.

Although she captured Yuping City in this battle, the number of soldiers who attacked the city with her was less than 7000 after they captured the city.

This is on the premise that most of the soldiers are wearing the armor provided by Li An. Without the armor provided by Li An, their damage will be more.

When cleaning up the corpses, there were only about 2000 Rong soldiers cleared out, and most of the Rong soldiers still fled.

Not only her place suffered heavy casualties, but Luoshipo and Fangjiandao also suffered heavy casualties.

If it weren't for the two Long family troops fighting to the death, they would not be able to attack Yuping City today, but would be surrounded by the Rong cavalry under the city wall, and the entire army would be wiped out!

Long Ningshuang drank a large bowl of wine again, and immediately poured the wine in the jar to the ground.

Looking at the small soil bags on the ground, she said loudly: "Soldiers, rest here, we will definitely recover the lost ground! Your sacrifice will not be in vain!"

……

Qingshui County.

One catapult after another was built.

Li An ordered people to remelt the large amount of iron that was seized from the previous attack on the Nanling Kingdoms, and forged a large amount of armor and weapons.

Another batch of armaments has been completed.

This time, Li An didn't ask Wang Hu to deliver it, but instead asked Lao Liu who had followed Lao Wang to deliver the armaments several times before.

Li An found that the relationship between Lao Wang and Yun Niang has rapidly warmed up recently, and at the critical moment, he couldn't bear to let Lao Wang and Yun Niang part again.

When the sixth child heard that the prince would entrust him with the important task of delivering armaments, he was so excited that he burst into tears.

The lord finally entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, the lord finally forgot about the fact that he almost burned his firewood house, and he thought that the lord would never reuse him in his life.

Woohoo, so touched, so touched!

……

On this day, Lao Liu led the army and left with armaments.

……

Nanling Country here.

Li Wan'er has been going to the Nanling countries for some time.

She often communicated with Li An by letter, and from the letters she sent back, Li An learned that she had already established banks, banks, and chambers of commerce in various small countries.

Entertainment and gold-making facilities such as restaurants are also under construction in an orderly manner.

On this day, Liu Yiyi sent another letter.

Li Anren was enjoying a wonderful afternoon in the swimming pool. Liu Yiyi, who was also wearing a swimsuit and showed a good figure, was sitting by the pool at the moment.

Her slender feet splashed in the water, holding the letter from Li Wan'er in her hand, reading it for Li An.

"...My lord, we have discovered a large amount of mineral resources in Nanling Kingdom, there are iron ore and coal mines that my lord needs..."

Hearing that the mine was found, Li An immediately became interested.

After Liu Yiyi finished reading all the contents of the letter, Li An brought Liu Yiyi into the swimming pool.

"Ah~" With an exclamation, Liu Yiyi nestled in Li An's arms like a frightened little beast.

"My lord~" Liu Yiyi's voice was so soft that it made people's hormones soar.

Li An leaned over and whispered in Liu Yiyi's ear: "Yiyi, can I take you to Nanling Kingdom to play?"

"Well, Yiyi always listens to the prince, and Yiyi will go wherever the prince goes."

Li An reached out and scratched Liu Yiyi's nose: "Yiyi is the best."

Not long after, a set of women's swimsuits floated on the water.

……

Li Wan'er notified Princess Le Yao of the news that Li An was coming to Nanling Kingdom.

When Li An arrived in Anlin City, the new King of Nanling Kingdom and Princess Le Yao had already led the courtiers and waited respectfully.

The courtiers in the court are all new faces. The ministers who escaped in the previous battle and those who were found by Princess Le Yao were all executed.

Today's courtiers are all newly promoted by Princess Le Yao.

"See the prince." Before Li Anren got out of the carriage, everyone said in unison.

Li An lifted the curtain of the car and walked down, and immediately entered the Nanling King's Palace accompanied by everyone.

……

Li An and the new king of Nanling Kingdom sat together, Li An looked indifferent and indifferent, while the new king was nervous and fawning, fidgeting.

Princess Le Yao personally poured tea and water for Li An.

Li An took a sip of the tea, it tasted good.

Immediately, Li An put down his teacup and looked at the new king of Nanling Kingdom: "This king came all the way, and saw many people in your Nanling Kingdom begging along the street. Why, you are out of food?"

Facing Li An's inquiry, the new king of Nanling Kingdom was so nervous that he couldn't tell why.

Seeing this, Princess Le Yao had no choice but to answer on her behalf.

"Returning to the prince, the grain harvest this year is really not good, and most of the people are starved of food. Le Yao has already sent people to Qingshui County to buy grain, but there are too many victims of starvation.

I'm afraid we can only drink poison to quench our thirst, a drop in the bucket. "

The common people are all hungry. Apart from the poor harvest of grain, the main reason is that the food stored in the common people's homes was all confiscated by He Wei and taken to attack Yuyi Pass.

Those grains are still quietly lying in Li An's granary as spoils of war.

The main reason for Princess Le Yao's headache is that the treasury of Nanling Kingdom has been emptied by Li An.

No money to buy food...

The money that Princess Le Yao used to buy food now was earned when she cooperated with Li An.

Her money may not be a problem to solve the famine of one or two cities, but it is obviously not enough to solve the famine of all the people in Nanling Kingdom.

But do they Nanling Kingdom dare to resent Li An?

Obviously not.

It is already a great gift for Li An not to directly destroy the Nanling Kingdom, but to keep their Nanling royal family!

Chapter 204: King Chen is a Good Man!no it's a saint

"Oh~" Li An let out a long sigh.

"Why is your lord sighing?" Princess Le Yao looked at Li An suspiciously.

"My prince is kind-hearted, and he can't see the suffering of the people the most." Liu Yiyi's gentle voice came, followed by Li An's expression of compassion.

The young couple sang and harmonized, it was really like that.

Seeing this, Princess Le Yao quickly bowed to Li An: "My lord, don't worry, Le Yao will definitely try her best to solve the famine problem for the people of Nanling Kingdom."
