Chapter 155 The Qin people cut off the river, Ying Gao's anger.
Linhe.
This is a small border town in the northernmost part of Daqin.
Its existence has been forgotten by the world. After all, this is not Jiuyuan, and its strategic location is not important.
For a long time, there were heavy troops guarding Jiuyuan, but there were only patrolling soldiers in Linhe, and the scout camp was wandering around. This also led to Linhe being attacked by the Xiongnu, and the Qin army knew nothing about it.
At this moment, the fleeing people began to return to Linhe, looking at the devastated land, weeping and crying loudly.
They are like people abandoned by heaven.
The heaven and earth are not responding to each other, and the earth and the earth are not functioning properly.
Facing the Xiongnu's crazy cavalry, they were unarmed and unable to resist. They could only watch countless young men fall under the butcher's knife, and countless women were raped.
Those were their wives and daughters, but they could do nothing but watch as they suffered humiliation.
At this moment, Linhe's young man, as long as he was still alive in Linhe, his eyes were red, and the depths of his eyes were full of hatred.
...........
"General, Linhe is right in front of you!"
Running all the way, Ying Gao didn't feel tired. He knew in his heart that saving people was like putting out fires, but they would probably be broken into pieces by the river.
Given the wild nature of the Huns, Linhe must be in ruins.
In addition to the humanitarian spirit in his heart, Ying Gao knew even more clearly that the people of Linhe at this time needed Master Wang to come.
In this way, the people will have a backbone, and at the same time, they will be able to send troops to destroy the Xiongnu, giving the army a stable rear.
After all, in a certain sense, they have a common enemy. At this time, there is no need to worry about fire in the rear.
At this thought, a sneer appeared on the corner of Ying Gao's mouth. After all, he grew up in an emperor's family, and his interests were the most important.
Profit comes first!
The people of our country are always at the mercy of interests!
The reason why Ying Gao is so concerned at this moment is because his military exploits require the participation of these people, and he has not been in the north for a long time, and his foundation is not yet stable.
At this moment, only the people of the country can make up for the shortcomings. Especially in the north, the scouts are too lazy and almost ignorant of the situation of the Xiongnu.
These border people must be aware of the situation among the Xiongnu.
With this thought in mind, Ying Gao ordered decisively: "Show the python swallowing dragon flag and tell the people near the river that the king's division has arrived——!"
"I, General Ying Gao, will definitely avenge them in the name of King Qin..."
"promise."
…
Due to the massacre, the county magistrate and most of the officials in Linhe had already been slaughtered, leaving only the surviving Chang Shi Yuwen and some minor officials.
When Ying Gao led the army into the city, Yu Wen quickly greeted them with a very respectful expression.
"This general has a long history in Linhe..."
"Um."
Ying Gao nodded, his eyes were deep, and there were waves in the depths of his eyes. He naturally saw that the eyes of the people near the river were full of grief.
The whole person is indifferent, like a walking corpse, and has long lost the spirit of the people of the Qin Dynasty.
"I am Ying Gao, the third son of King Qin. This is not the place to talk. Yu Changshi went to the county first. I have something to inquire about in detail!"
I don’t despise Yu Wen Yinggao!
In this troubled world, dying is a hero, but so is living. At this moment, Linhe, he needs someone who is familiar with this place.
And Yu Wen is!
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Yu Wen waved his hand: "General, please—!"
At this moment, Yu Wen felt happy, but when he thought of what happened before, the joy in his eyes disappeared in an instant, and finally disappeared.
The deaths of countless people happened right in front of his eyes. It was a nightmare that could scare him awake at night.
He was full of expectations for Master Wang, but when he thought that Ying Gao was still a young man, his joyful heart was instantly clouded.
…
"Wang Hu, send out scouts. I need to know where the Huns are..." Walking into the county house, Ying Gao turned to Wang Hu and gave instructions with bright eyes.
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Wang Hu turned around and left. He knew in his heart that with a thousand Iron Eagles guarding him, there was no need to worry about Ying Gao's safety.
Unless a large army appears and attacks, Ying Gao will definitely be fine.
…
"Chang Shi, tell this general what happened in Linhe!" In the county government, Ying Gao looked at the messy ground and said in a faint tone.
Hearing this, Yu Wen quickly said: "General, three days ago, the Xiongnu Youxian King's tribe suddenly went south. Due to the lack of defense in Linhe, the city gate was broken."
"County Magistrate Wang Hai, County Lieutenant Ye Qing and other officials were all killed in the battle. The Huns massacred me, Da Qin Erlang, and countless people died tragically with swords!"
"They are not humans, they are animals. They kidnapped my Qin daughter and headed north. My Qin daughter didn't care about being humiliated and threw herself into the river, which stopped its flow..."
…
Hearing Yu Wen's words, Ying Gao's eyes were dark, and murderous intent gathered deep in his eyes: "Yu Changshi, how much food and grass are left in Linhe now?"
Ying Gao knew in his heart that it was freezing cold here. If there was not enough food and grass, the people in Linhe would not survive long even if they were not killed.
Da Qin is different from later dynasties. The court will only help you tide over difficulties, but will not open warehouses to release grain.
At this moment, the food and grass in the river are the key.
Sensing Ying Gao's gaze, Yu Wen spoke solemnly and said: "General, in Linhe, the food and grass in the government offices were robbed, leaving only the food stored in the homes of the people."
"It is enough to maintain the survival of the people, but there is no spare power to support the army..."
Hearing this, Ying Gao felt happy: "There is no need to supply a large army, as long as the people of the country are enough!"
Having said this, Ying Gao was silent for a while, and then said to Yu Wen: "Yu Wen, I will temporarily appoint you as the Linhe County Magistrate, and the other minor officials will fill the vacancies."
"We will send one person to serve as county captain. As long as you do a good job, this can be eliminated for the time being!"
Hearing Ying Gao's promise, Yu Wen felt happy. He didn't expect that the pie fell from the sky and landed on his head.
Thoughts flickered in his mind, and he quickly turned to Ying Gao and said: "General, don't worry, my subordinates will work wholeheartedly to restore Linhe!"
"Um!"
Ying Gao nodded, waved his hand and said: "Now there is a large army to suppress it, which is enough to appease the people. Now in the name of the county magistrate, you can make a list to calm the people."
"First stabilize the panic of the people of the country, and then make other plans."
"promise."
Yu Wen turned around and left the county government. He knew in his heart that the opportunity had come, and this time, he must seize it.
Yu Wen was not a fool, so he naturally knew what the word "Ying Gao" meant. He was the Third Young Master of the Qin Dynasty. Since he was the Third Young Master of the Great Qin Dynasty, Linhe would definitely become the bridgehead of the war.
In this way, his position as county magistrate will be much more valuable. If he gets Ying Gao's approval, it may not be impossible for him to soar into the sky.
