Chapter 367: Youzhou City

On the wall of Shanhaiguan, everyone looked towards the territory of the barbarians. ?㈠㈧?㈧?㈠???㈠
After Zhan Xingchang raised questions, Xiao Ming nodded, Niu Ben's words were correct, and Zhan Xingchang's words were correct.
So to put it together, he said: "The review of the slave soldiers is left to the military history. They are the most suitable for ideological work. They must not stay in the army if they can stay in the army. What this king wants is an absolutely loyal team, not a huge number."
Niu Ben and Lu Fei nodded. They are only responsible for making suggestions. This ideological work is naturally a matter for Zhan Xingchang, Pang Yukun and others.
Because in their opinion, so many slave soldiers are simply a waste of unnecessary.
After inspecting Shanhaiguan and ordering the reconstruction and formation of the Youzhou Army, Xiao Ming said to the Lei Ming who followed, "Leiming, you are from Youzhou, and the soldiers in Guanning's iron cavalry are also from Youzhou. This Youzhou Army You are also responsible for the formation of the army. If you perform well, you will be handed over to you in the future."
This time Thunder came with Xiao Ming.
While on the road, Xiao Ming told him that Guanning Tieqi would be stationed in Shanhaiguan in the future. After all, they had regained Youzhou, and their former Youzhou children would have their hometown from then on.
After Dingpei was displaced to Cangzhou, Lei Ming didn't want to regain Youzhou for a day, riding a tall horse, majestic, and angrily returning to his hometown of Youzhou.
Now this opportunity has come, and he still has the opportunity to become Youzhou's supreme military commander, why he is not happy.
He was overjoyed, he said to Xiao Ming: "Yes, your highness, are these slave soldiers real Youzhou people who will eventually ask a few questions and you can see through it? If you want to get involved in the Youzhou Army and make bad ideas, you have to ask me and answer. Don't agree."
The other generals burst out laughing when they heard this, but they forgot that there was a Guan Ning cavalry.
These are all elite cavalry composed of Youzhou people. With these people serving as the backbone of the Youzhou Army, it will be no problem to form the Youzhou Army.
Seeing others laugh, Leiming became a little embarrassed, scratching his head and said: "His Royal Highness, the general is too impatient, this Youzhou Army head coach wants me to be a bit..."
"Don't pay attention to them. A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, and a general who doesn't want to be a general is not a good general."
Xiao Ming patted Thunder on the shoulder.
Since the Guanning iron cavalry was handed over to Lei Ming, the cavalry team has expanded almost three times. From this we can also see Thunder's ability.
And as Lei Ming said, this team is also the most ruthless against the barbarians.
After talking about the Youzhou Army, Xiao Ming Niu Ben said: "This Shanhaiguan has been recovered, but there is still a problem to deal with now."
"Youzhou!" Zhan Xingchang guessed the answer.
Xiao Ming nodded, "Yes, it is Youzhou City. Now that the barbarians have left Youzhou City, we are going to take over. After all, the current Youzhou City is equivalent to an empty city."
Everyone nodded.
Niu Ben said: "His Royal Highness, now the barbarians in Youzhou City have also been withdrawn. At this time, Youzhou City is just an unguarded city. At the end of tomorrow, the three thousand cavalry of Guan Ning Iron Cavalry will follow His Highness. That is, they are all from Youzhou, and they can't say they can have a miraculous effect."
Xiao Ming nodded and agreed to Niu Ben's words. After a busy day, he was also a little tired. He rested in the military town for the night.
The next day he rushed to Youzhou City with Niu. This time he left the construction camp and Zhanxingchang in Shanhaiguan. After he went to Youzhou, he was going back to Qingzhou.
This time, to quell the chaos in Jizhou, defeat Bei Shan, and win Shanhaiguan, such an important matter will inevitably shake the capital.
In addition, he is about to marry Fei Yueer, and the second trip to Chang'an is inevitable.
Youzhou City was southwest of Shanhaiguan, exiting from Shanhaiguan, and they arrived at Youzhou City the next day.
"This is the city where King Kang once lived. It's still like this for ten years of wind and frost. It really hasn't changed at all." Niu Ben said with emotion.
The terrain changes slightly when entering Youzhou City, rivers, woods, trails and some farmland can be seen.
This is the only place where he can feel the difference in the grassland after entering the grassland.
Lei Ming followed closely behind Xiao Ming, his expression a little nervous at this time, he was only thirteen years old when he left Youzhou, and now he has reached the age of standing.
Looking at his former hometown, he couldn't help feeling a little sad, and bits and pieces of what he used to live here slowly flashed through his mind.
"His Royal Highness, this barbaric clan is really hateful. Originally, the land of Youzhou still had a lot of cultivated land, but now it is completely abandoned and turned into grass." Lei Ming said angrily.
Although the barbarians entered Youzhou, they still couldn't change their grazing habits, so they turned their farmland into grassland.
Because of this, in ten years, this place has become a grassland-like place.
Xiao Ming smiled and said, "So this king can count on your Youzhou Army in the future to deal with them fiercely."
"Please rest assured, your Highness, thunder will make them pay back ten times."
Niu Ben also showed a smile, and the three of them talked all the way, and soon arrived under Youzhou City.
At this time, many people wandered outside the city gate of Youzhou, and they fled back into the city in shock when they saw them coming.
"His Royal Highness, I will take someone into the city to investigate." Lei Ming said.
After all, Lei Ming led five hundred cavalry into Youzhou City.
Xiao Ming looked at Youzhou City in front of him. At this time, there were more than a dozen dry corpses hanging on the top of the city. The corpses were already completely graceful at this time, and it seemed that they had been years old.
The words Youzhou City on the city gate were also badly damaged, and the words Youzhou could not be seen.
From the outside, the entire Youzhou City is like an isolated island on the grassland.
When he came to Shanhaiguan, Xiao Ming also passed other cities, including Shunzhou and Yunzhou.
But at this time these cities are left with broken walls and damaged houses. There is no one in the city, only hares and rats are running around in the city.
Therefore, Youzhou City is the only city with population in the sixteen Yanyun prefectures.
"After the barbarians entered the customs, they massacred. The people in other cities were almost killed and injured. The remaining population was also driven to this Youzhou. I hope that the population of Youzhou City can be larger."
While thundering came to inspect the city, Niu Ben talked about the past.
"The brutality of the barbarians is really horrible."
He remembers that the population of King Kang's fief was at least one million households. According to the current situation, at least five to six hundred thousand households were slaughtered.
This is more than one million people, and I feel distressed when I think of this Xiao Ming. I almost got a blank piece of land when I lay down Shanhaiguan.
The two were chatting outside the city, and Thunder soon ran back with blood on his saber. He said, "Your Highness, there are still some slave soldiers left by the barbarians in the city."
