Chapter 989: Equivalent to a Massacre

Han Gaoyu's face changed drastically, and his eyes were full of panic.

Ning Chen's eyes were cold, "Blood debts must be repaid with blood. The lives of tens of thousands of people in my Daxuan Xiguan City, you Xiliang must repay double.

Han Gaoyu, I guess you have been to Xiguan City to burn, kill and loot a lot, right?"

Han Gaoyu didn't say anything, because he had indeed been there, although it was under the order of the royal family.

Ning Chen pressed his shoulders, "The blood debt of the people of my Daxuan Xiguan City will start with you!"

After saying that, Ning Chen pushed gently!

Han Gaoyu screamed in fear, flew out from the top of the city, and fell down the city.

Bang! ! !

With a muffled sound, Ning Chen looked down.

Han Gaoyu fell to death directly.

And he fell to death in front of the three thousand Xiliang captives.

The three thousand captured archers were pale and trembling all over.

Ning Chen looked dull. Only 20,000 of the 100,000 people in Xiguan City survived. How could this be? It was just the beginning.

.......

In the middle of the night, Ning Chen came to the City Lord's Mansion.

In the hall, the brazier was burning brightly.

Ning Chen sat by the brazier, holding a cup of tea, listening to Yuan Long and others reporting the battle situation.

King Wu was excited, "This battle was so exciting, it can be said that it was effortless."

The Xiliang army surrendered with almost no resistance.

Of the 50,000 garrison troops, 10,000 were killed or wounded, and the rest surrendered.

Yuan Long grinned and said, "Xiliang has developed quite well in recent years, but after all, the population is limited. This time, 150,000 troops were lost... I wonder what the King of Xiliang would look like when he knew this news?"

Pan Yucheng shouted, "I think we can continue to fight until we reach the capital of Xiliang."

Others nodded in agreement!

Ning Chen said unhappily: "Fight with your mouth? We are short of troops now, and the number of prisoners has exceeded the number of our army.

We attacked Linxuan City because it was close... It is a long way to continue the battle. It is not realistic to continue the battle in this cold weather.

What we need to do now is to rebuild Xiguan City so that the people can survive this cold winter."

These people are really, they just keep fighting.

War requires people, silver and a lot of food.

He came to Xiguan City this time, and together with Ning'an Army, there were a total of 40,000 people.

King Wu brought 30,000 people.

This adds up to 70,000 people.

And the number of prisoners in Xiliang has exceeded 100,000. These people must be watched carefully. Once they cause trouble, it will be a big deal.

Ning Chen's face straightened, "Lei An, listen to my order!"

"I am here!"

"You will command those captives, and immediately transport the captured food and supplies back to Xiguan City."

"I obey your order!"

Ning Chen looked at King Wu and said, "The reconstruction of Xiguan City requires a large amount of stone and wood. Now it is covered with snow and it is cold and freezing, and these things are hard to find... Then take people to demolish the houses.

As long as the wood and stone can be used, take them back."

King Wu nodded, "Yes!"

Ning Chen looked at Yuan Long again, "Take people to plunder the whole city for me. I want to scrape Linxuan City three feet.

I hope that when I go back, Linxuan City will not leave a grain of food or a penny."

Everyone's face changed slightly.

Ning Chen wants Linxuan City to become the second Xiguan City.

No, it's worse than Xiguan City!

At least 20,000 people survived in Xiguan City.

Although Ning Chen did not move a knife, it was equivalent to slaughtering the city.

The houses were demolished, the wood was transported away, and not a grain of food or a penny was left... This almost cut off the livelihood of the people in Linxuan City.

However, no one thought Ning Chen was cruel, it was all their own fault.

Xiguan City was devastated and dilapidated, and people were freezing to death in the city... They were not qualified to sympathize with the Xiliang people on behalf of the frozen Daxuan people.

Yuan Long leaned over, "I obey your orders!"

Ning Chen waved his hand and said, "Okay, get busy!

Within three days, I want the terrain of Linxuan City to be three feet lower... If you leave a grain of food or a penny, you will be punished by military law!"

"I obey your orders!"

Yuan Long and others received the order, then saluted and retreated.

.......

In the next three days, the Daxuan soldiers burned, killed and looted crazily in the city.

Whether it was dignitaries or ordinary people, they were treated equally.

Not only did they rob money and food, but they also had to demolish your house and transport all the useful wood and stones away.

If anyone dared to hide food or money, they would be killed regardless of gender, age or status once they were found.

In addition, in addition to looting, Ning Chen also issued an order to capture craftsmen and doctors throughout the city.

Xiguan City needed to be rebuilt, and craftsmen were very important.

As for doctors, they were always important.

Three days later, the entire Linxuan City collapsed and was in ruins.

The soldiers of Daxuan would not leave the wood that could not be transported or used, and would burn it directly.

Take away everything that can be taken away, and destroy everything that cannot be taken away.

Ning Chen asked the soldiers of Daxuan to rob Linxuan City frantically for five days.

Linxuan City was really plundered.

On the seventh day, Ning Chen led his army to leave Linxuan City.

Linxuan City was in ruins, with only ruins that could not be burned.

There was crying in the city!

The streets were full of corpses.

Linxuan City has completely become the second Xiguan City.

Ning Chen returned to Xiguan City with the supplies he had looked at.

This time, he almost moved the entire Linxuan City back.

One hundred thousand captives, led by craftsmen, worked day and night.

So, the situation in Xiguan City is improving at a visible speed.

But Xiguan City is still in ruins.

Ning Chen has sent a message to Jin Qingsheng, asking him to send some people who are good at business to Xiguan City.

The 20,000 people in Xiguan City can't be kept alive all the time.

Therefore, all kinds of businesses and money houses must be opened to let the people support themselves.

Ning Chen also submitted a memorial to Emperor An.

It is suggested that Emperor An announce to the world to attract investment. Anyone who comes to Xiguan City to do business will be exempted from taxes in the first year, 30% in the second year, half in the third year, and return to normal in the fourth year.

Ning Chen also issued a lot of preferential policies.

Merchants pursue profits, and I believe that Xiguan City will soon be able to restore its former prosperity.

In the past few days since I came back, Ning Chen has been busy all the time.

But seeing that Xiguan City is getting better day by day, it is hard but worth it.

.......

Xiliang, the palace!

In the hall, the King of Xiliang is discussing things with important officials in the court!

"Your Majesty, the Saint has been very close to the merchants in the city recently... I have asked someone and the Saint wants to unite the merchants, provide money and food, and help the people of Daxuan Xiguan City."

"Your Majesty, the Saint's actions are clearly suspected of treason, please punish her severely."

"Your Majesty, the Saint has not only been close to the merchants in the city recently, but some people in the court are also close to the Saint."

The King of Xiliang sat behind the low table, holding a wine glass in his hand, his face gloomy.

"Your Majesty, the Saint does not think about the people of Xiliang, but is raising money and food everywhere to help the people of Daxuan. I think she has clearly betrayed Xiliang. Maybe she has already been Ning Chen's woman... This woman must not be kept!"

The King of Xiliang looked uglier and snorted coldly.

Did he not want to kill? It was impossible to kill.

Tan Tai Qingyue saved nearly 100,000 captives from Ning Chen... If she was killed, the royal family would be drowned in spit.
