When you are ugly.

As soon as Hua Ju lay down, he heard Liu Shun shouting from outside: "Sir, General Hua, General Qin has sent someone back."

Hua Ju immediately got up, put on his coat, opened the door, and followed Liu Shun to the Chinese army barracks. The people sent back by Hua Rong hurriedly raised their fists and saluted him.

Hua Ju waved his hand gently and asked, "How is the situation in Wuzhou?"

The person sent back said: "General Hua, General Qin has wiped out all the Liao soldiers who besieged Wuzhou, and captured the general Xiao Zongping alive. However, when we went there, the Liao army had already broken through Wuzhou City.

In order to resist their killings, the defenders and people there rose up to fight with them and suffered

There were a large number of casualties. Eight thousand seven hundred and sixty-three of the defenders in the city were killed. Wuzhou Tongpan and Tuan Lian were also killed. Twenty-six thousand five hundred and eighty-eight people were killed, and even more were injured.

There were 43,722 people, and many houses and items were destroyed. The situation was very tragic."

"What, so many casualties!"

Hearing that Wuzhou's casualties were so heavy, Hua Ju felt particularly heavy and asked, "General Hua, General Qin and their casualties?"

The soldier who reported the news said: "When we went there, the Liao army had already dispersed in the city and was fighting with the people and the defenders. They also suffered heavy losses from the people and the defenders. Their numbers were greatly reduced. In addition, we shot them with crossbows.

We didn’t engage in close combat with them, so there were no casualties.”

Hearing that Qin Ming, Hua Rong and the others had no casualties, Hua Ju felt a little better and asked, "How is the situation with the prefect and military supervisors in Wuzhou? Are they okay?"

"Master Wei, the prefect, and Luo Dujian, the military and horse supervisor, have been stationed on the city wall since the Liao army attacked the city. After the Liao army broke through the city gate, they also led their troops to fight fiercely with them in the city. General Hua and General Qin led

When people arrived, they were surrounded by more than two hundred Liao soldiers, but luckily none of them were injured."

Hua Ju nodded lightly and asked someone to take him down to rest. Then he walked alone behind Zhuo Zi and sat down to meditate.

"grown ups."

I don't know how long it took, Hua Ju suddenly heard someone calling him, and then he came back from his thoughts, and realized that it was Lu Junyi who was here. Then he stood up and asked, "It's so late, haven't you rested yet?"

"

Lu Junyi said: "I couldn't sleep because there was no news from Wuzhou. I just heard that General Hua and the others sent people back, so I came over to take a look. Sir, how is the situation in Wuzhou?"

Hua Ju said: "General Hua, General Qin, they have solved the siege of Wuzhou, but the Wuzhou defenders and people suffered heavy casualties."

Then he told Lu Junyi what the reporting soldier had said. Lu Junyi was very sad after hearing this and said: "These damn Liao soldiers actually killed unarmed people. They are worse than animals."

"This is all my fault for not thinking in advance that they would kill Han people."

Hua Ju sighed softly and said: "I originally thought that the Han people in the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun had lived in the territory of the Liao Kingdom for such a long time, and the Liao Kingdom would not take action against them, but I never thought that

They were so cruel that they wanted to kill all the Han people.

Alas, this is all my fault for not thinking well in advance. If I could have thought of this level in advance, I wouldn't have placed only that few garrison troops in each city.

Finally God bless, in addition to Wuzhou, Tan, Ji, and Ruzhou all relieved the siege before the Liao soldiers attacked the city. Otherwise, if they also attacked the city, I don't know how many Han people would be massacred by them. If

If such a situation really happens, then I will really have no shame in going back to see His Majesty again."

Seeing Hua Ju blaming himself, Lu Junyi hurriedly said, "I can't blame you for this matter. The main reason is that those Liao soldiers were too cruel.

However, General Hua and General Qin, they were able to wipe out all the Liao army that besieged Wuzhou, which can be regarded as revenge for the dead people and defenders. You don’t need to blame yourself too much for this matter."

Hua Ju took a long breath and said: "That's tens of thousands of lives. How can I calm down? Now I really want to kill all the remaining Liao soldiers so that I can solve this problem once and for all."

trouble."

Lu Junyi said: "Sir,

Don’t worry, the Liao Kingdom is now in pieces and in turmoil, and it won’t be long before we destroy them.”

"It's not as easy as you think."

Hua Ju said: "The territory of the Liao Kingdom is wider than that of the Song Dynasty. Although they have lost the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, the east and southwest are also occupied by the Jin Kingdom and Xixia. Many cities, but in the northwest there are not only

A large territory, hundreds of thousands of troops defending the important areas on the northwest frontier, as well as dozens of tribes and more than 30 cities in the northwest, the total population is between 180 and 900,000.

Now we not only have to go to war with the Jin Kingdom, but also prevent Xixia from stabbing us in the back. We can no longer allocate too many troops to destroy them, so it will be very difficult to destroy the Liao Kingdom in a short while."

Lu Junyi had not taken these situations into consideration before, but now after listening to what Hua Ju said, he realized that it was indeed not an easy task to wipe out all the Liao Kingdom.

"Although we won't be able to completely eliminate the Liao Kingdom for a while, as long as we are given time, we will definitely be able to completely eliminate the Liao Kingdom." Lu Junyi said.

Hua Ju nodded in agreement and said: "You are right, the Liao Kingdom is a serious threat to us. We must destroy them no matter what, otherwise we don't know when they will come out to threaten the Sixteenth State of Yanyun."

Then he said to Lu Junyi: "Immediately send someone to tell the prefects and military supervisors of the other 11 states except You, Ji, Tan, Ru, and Wu to recruit 20,000 new soldiers in their own cities."

, train them how to defend the city, so that even if there are Liao or Jin soldiers attacking the city, they can hold on."

"Yes, I will make arrangements right away."

Lu Junyi turned around and was about to leave, but Hua Ju suddenly stopped him again, thought for a moment and said, "Send someone to deliver a batch of poisonous gentian to each city. With these poisonous gentians, it will be much easier for them to defend the city."

"Yes." Lu Junyi said.

Hua Ju then added: "Tell the prefects of each state that they must send special personnel to look after this batch of poisonous gentian. They must not be used privately. They must be used when the enemy attacks the city."

"Don't worry, sir. I'll let someone tell the prefect if I'm humble."

After Lu Junyi left, Hua Ju immediately wrote a memorial to Huizong and wrote down all his thoughts in it. Then he called Zhou Yuandi and asked him to ride a fast horse to send the memorial back to Bianjing.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Huining Mansion, the capital of the Jin Kingdom.

In the palace.

The leader of the Liao Kingdom is discussing court affairs with his ministers, because although the Jin Kingdom has occupied a large territory of the Liao Kingdom recently, many problems have arisen.

If the territory increases, a large number of troops will be needed to defend it, which seriously disperses the Jin Kingdom's mobile forces, and the new soldiers they recruit are not enough in terms of combat effectiveness or combat experience, and will take some time to improve, thus restricting

They continued their actions to seize Liao territory.

In addition, because the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom were relatively rude and brutal, they were very cruel to the people of the Liao Kingdom in the occupied territories, especially the Han people. As a result, many people in the territories they occupied were forced to resist, which brought inconvenience to their management.

Small trouble.

In addition, there is also the problem of the supply of food and various materials, because they occupied so much territory in the Liao Kingdom, and there were tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of people living on each territory. If they cannot solve them well,

There are food and various material supply problems. Once these people all rise up and cause trouble, their military strength will be severely depleted.

However, the productivity of the Jin Kingdom is not developed. It is not easy to deal with so many materials at once. It needs to be mobilized from various places in the Jin Kingdom. However, the rich and poor in each place in the Jin Kingdom are different, and there are also many tribal groups within the Jin Kingdom.

They are not willing to use the resources at their disposal.

In order to prepare food and various supplies for the army for a period of time, they have donated a lot of supplies and food. If they take it out now, they are worried that it will weaken their own power, so they have their own calculations about raising supplies.

, thus leading to difficulties in raising supplies.

Therefore, the leader of the Liao Kingdom is concentrating on handling these matters these days.

"It's been so many days, why?

The necessary supplies have not been collected yet?" asked the leader of the Liao Kingdom.

Prime Minister Zuo said: "My lord, this is not because I am careless, but because those below are unwilling to use the resources they have, and we cannot send troops to rob them forcefully, so we haven't gathered them together until now."

Although Prime Minister Zuo did not directly name who they were, the leader of the Jin Kingdom knew who they were, but he also understood that he had asked them for too many supplies recently, which had always caused these people to be reluctant to raise supplies again.

Resistance arose.

"Right Prime Minister, you send someone to tell these people. I know what they are thinking and I can understand their thoughts. Now the Jin Kingdom has gone to war with the Song Dynasty. If we cannot defeat the Song Dynasty at this time, once the Song Dynasty waits for

The Song Dynasty has established a foothold in the Sixteenth State of Yanyun, which will be a major threat to our Kingdom of Jin. If the Kingdom of Jin is defeated by the Song Dynasty, they will also be annihilated.

Therefore, now we need people from all over Dajin to contribute money, to donate food, and to help each other out. As long as we can defeat the Song Dynasty, I will definitely compensate them a hundredfold in the future.

But if someone drags Daikin back at this time and causes Daikin's action to fail, then don't blame me for being ruthless."

"I obey the decree." The Prime Minister on the right said, bowing with his hands clasped in fists.

The leader of the Kingdom of Jin nodded, looked at the officials below, and asked: "It has been several days since Wan Yanxiong led his troops to attack Youzhou, but has any news come back?"

Prime Minister Zuo said: "Three days ago, he sent someone back to report that he had quietly led his troops to lurk near Youzhou. He was just waiting for the surrender of the Liao army to attack the four states of Tan, Ji, Ru, and Wu.

Immediately lead the troops to attack Youzhou. Judging from the time, we should have already started. If everything goes well, the people who come back to report the news will arrive soon."
