“That’s how it should be!” Tang Yanhai nodded, agreeing wholeheartedly.
Others also expressed their opinions, and there were no further objections.
"In that case, execute it immediately!"
Zhao Muyun acted swiftly and decisively, "Chen Qian, organize manpower and mobilize the people to evacuate with the army. Tell them that the Northern Barbarians are brutal and will surely retaliate. Those who wish to leave will be provided with protection by Hedong!"
"Those who do not wish to leave will not be forced, but they will bear the consequences themselves!"
"Liu Yi, take your men to gather all the heavy, bulky supplies that can't be taken from the treasury, and mark them clearly."
"In addition, plant some 'surprises' in several key locations, such as near the city gates and granaries, so that when the Northern Barbarians come in, we can give them a big 'fireworks' show!"

"Could it be... that he really can't hold on?" Arahan's heart began to race.
If we can recapture Youzhou, even if it's just an empty city, we can atone for our sins before the Left Wise King!
"Full speed ahead, target: Youzhou!" Arahan shouted at the top of his lungs.
